PLANS RADICAL CHANGE
IN STREET ASSESSMENT
Entire System of Taxing Property for Street Improve
ment, Assessing Abutting Costs to Abutting Lots,
Declared to Be Inequitable.
TO CM FLOUR
10 Ml
mm
j Portland's entire system of street lm
proverrfent aasesament must be chanced
i according to the opinion of City Attor
ney Kavanaugh, who Is today enraged In
drafting an opinion to the street com-
mitt regarding the matter. Heretofore
tbe eltr authotitlea In making- assess
' ments for street Improvement work have
In moat case followed the plan outlined
" In the old charter of assessing abutting
' ooeta to abutting property.
This, In the opinion of the city attor
ney, ta an Inequitable ayatem and la
contrary to the provlsiona of the preaent
charter, which provides In substance
that - improvements ahall be assessed
according to the actual benefit derived
by effected property, estimated by the
council or uie auinormes naving toe
work at hand In their discretion.
Tbe question haa been brought UD at
thla time by contention arising out of
the improvement or uenver avenue rrom
Portland boulevard to KUllngaworth
avenue, a dlatanoe of three double
blocka. In thla Improvement, aaaeaaed
according to the old ayatem of abutting
mute on abutting property, the aaaessr
ments range from M cents for eome
lota to aa high aa 11181 for others.
Thla great disparity of aaaeaament In
uch a ahort dlatance and upon the aame
atreet la unusual and unequitable In the
opinion of the city attorney proving the
plan followed to be a wrong one.
In the opinion of the city attorney
It la ImDOBSlbla for one lot tn rooelva
100 times aa much benefit by a street
improvement aa another when the two
lota are altuated on the name etr-t and
within a dlatance of three blocks. Ho
contenda that property ranged along a
atreet under courae of Improvement la
all benefited by the grading or pave
ment or tne atreet in something near
the eame ratio. He would therefore
that the city authorities uae their dl
oretlon In apportioning the coat of euch
improvement aa they may deem eqult-
aoie among the property ownera ar
feoted.
In accordance with hla opinion he la
preparing a atateraent to the atreet com-
mmee or tne executive Doara outlining
hla attitude and advising: them that hia
plan be followed In all future atreel Im
provement work.
The atatemcnt la the result of aome
two years of atudv on the Dart of Mr.
Ka vans uch. and la ahaped In accord
ance with the reaulromenU of the prea
ent charter, and what. In the opinion
or the city attorney, la the raireat and
moat equitable courae for all property
ownera In the city who may be af
fected by atreet Improvement work of
whatever nature.

Two women claiming the same child
appeared In the Juvenile court yeater
day afternoon before Judge Fraser, upon
whom devolves the duty of deciding
which of the , women la the mother,
Mrs. Sarah Tomlln and Mrs. Norma
Rowlee are the contending mothera. The
child la 2-year-old William Dudley Tom-
lln, or Orse Carlton Livingston nowle,
according to the way Judge Fraser de
cides. The child is now In the cuatody of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid society and will
remain there until a trial is had before
a jury In the circuit court of Mrs.
Rowlee on the charge of encouraging
17-year-old Alice Francis of Bend, Ore
gon, to enter a disorderly house In
Portland.
Mra. Tomlln waa the flrat witness
yeaterday afternoon. She testified that
the child waa born Aorll 27. 190S anrf
because she had to work and waa unable
to care for the baby she determined to
place him aomewhere. She met Mra.
Rowlee, she said, who wanted Mrs. Tom

The German ateamer Kva, which ar
rived here this morning from Japan with
a shipment of 1.200 tons of sulphur con
signed to Mltaul A Co., Is under charter
to the Portland Flouring Mills company
to carry a cargo of flour to Vladivostok,
Siberia. She will begin loading aa aoon
the aulphur haa been dlacharged.
Work on the cargo will be commenced
aa soon an a suitable berth has been
decided upon. In the meantime the
steamer rldea at anchor In the stream
below the old Alblna ferry course.
The Eva came from Japan via San
Francisco, where about half of the orig
inal cargo waa discharged. Captain
Bchonbrandt aaya the run across the
ocean waa uneventful, but that some
high seaa were encountered coming up
the coaat. Cantata Bchonbrandt Is
maklnr hla first vovaa-e on the ateamer.
but the Kva haa been here aeveral times.
ner latest visit being last spring, when
she took a cargo of lumber from the
mills of the Portland Lumber company
io vaiparaiao.
M. Jubaen. sole owner of the steamer.
and hla coualn, F. Jebsen, arrived here
tnia morning rrom Puget sound and are
toaay looKing after their affairs here
Mr. Jebsen la said to be one of the
wealthiest German shlo owners, the
Kva being but one of a large fleet
or big tramps in hla own name. Mr.
Jensen came out from Bremen oaten-
albly to look Into the prospecta of op
erating some of hla steamers regularly
between the Pacific coaat and the orU
ent, and It waa said thla morning that
the Kva and Tollosan, the latter now
plying between the sound and the or?
ent, will probably remain out here for
iomf time.
"We are not prepared to divulge our
plans," says F. - Jobaon, who appears to
oe ine spoxeaman, "Dut will probably do
considerable business out here. The re
port has been sent out from Tacoma
to the effect that we have decided to
establish a regular lino of steamers
between Puget sound and the orient
but I can't say that the report Is cor
rect. We have reached no decision.
Portland aeema to be pretty well
equipped with liners In the oriental tmrtn
but I auppoae our steamers would lnnil
.here, aa readily aa anywhere If the busi
ness oners. in the meantime I will
remain. out here to look after the steam
era, and I will devote my time between
Portland and Puget sound.

The agreement also, It is alleged, was

SEVENTY-ONE DEAD ;
IN BRIDGE DISASTER
The government was ready to admlf
that the Rels-ul-Ulema after having
been nominated by tbe emperor should
be bound to apply for religious investi
ture to the Shelk-ul-Islam but the Ma
homedans. fearing lest the sovernment
should induce a new Rels-ul-Ulema to
evade this obligation in the hope of de
taching the Boslan Mahomedans from
Constantinople, insisted that the re
ligious investiture and the appointment
by the emperor should be simultaneous,
the one being invalid without the other.
The government deolined to assent to
this demand because It haa no maani
of approaching the Shelk-ul-Islam ex
cept through the Porte; and. as the
Porte Is a political institution. Its in
tervention in the matter would imply
recognition by Austria-Hungary of some
indirect political connection between,
the forte and Bosnla-Hersegovina,
Important Dispute.
The Mussulmans, however, ' demand
binding guarantees that their Rels-ul-Ulema
shall be invested wlthsacred au
thority by the spiritual head of Islam,
the Shelk-ul-Islam, for without such
investiture the Mafiomedans of Bosnla
Hersegovina. would be forced into the
position of schismatics and would bs
obliged either to abandon their posses
sions and emigrate to Turkey, or to en
danger the safety of their souls.
Mahomedans whose direct spiritual
chiefs are not Invested with sacred au
thority by the Shelk-ul-Islam become
schismatics, unless the temporal gov
ernment under which they live, prevents
them from emigrating to an orthodox
Mussulman country. In countries
where religious observance Is lax this
dispute might not have arisen, but in
Bosnia-Herzegovina, where the Mussul
mans are much stricter than at Con-
tantlnople. tbe dispute Is looked upon
as very important.
Embarrassing Situation.
For the government of the occupied
provinces It is an embarrassment be
cause much has been done to gain the
goodwill of the Bosnian Mussulmans,
and to acquire their support against
the orthodox serbs. who form the ma
jority of the population, and are always
discontented. Any circumstances that
tends to cause discontent among the
Mussulmans also ts therefore, a serious
matter for the Bosnlan-Herzegovlnlaa
administration, which will be prudent
If it seeks for a compromise such as
to satisfy Mahomedan susceptibilities
without raising the danger of allowing
Turkey to revive a political claim to the
occupied provinces.

ister of education praying that the Eng-'

The petitioners state that ft is utter
ly foreign to their Intention to Join
controversy that is being wagndai
tween Humanists and Realists otiSVo dis
cuss the Question of the sdvantases or
disadvantages of the education provided
by the Gymnasia. They wish only to
point out that at the present time, when
the rlvalrv among nations has assumed
an acute form and demands personali
ties who have not merely enjoyea ex
cellent technical training In a special
branch, it is more than ever necessary
that the organizers and propagandists
of German economic life shall not bs
restricted to uniform training. They
point out how Ignorant Germans are on
the subject of colonial politics and how
exceedingly advantageous would be a
careful study of the methods which
have contributed to spread the Influence
of English spirit and suocess and of
English Institutions.
Lectures on national economy at uer-
man universities constantly complain,
they say. that most of their hearers are
unacquainted with English." and are
thus unable to read in the original the
works of the founders and chief repre
sentatives of scientific political econ
omy and political law. If . Germany
iahes to emulate England the rising

engaging in the foremost rank in ths
