,-.. i l...l.ntiuiH him. Hi said
that hia reply to Dr. Cottel's quory re
rarding tha bond waa to tha effect that
- If tha city required tha bond It would
be no mora than fair that tha city should
-' give the company a bonus.
"This seems to ma to be a frame up
' whereby Zimmerman will be able to get
permission to operate hia plant. I am
- not or never have been certain that
8chwartssrhlld ft Sulsburrer have been
. , In rood faith la their requeat of the
councilman. They want ue to open up
the city to slaughter houses but there
ta no guarantee that they will put in a
v parking plant of their own.
'" "Therefore I thought Jt no mora than
fair to ask them for a sufficient bond
guaranteeing tha construction of a
plant. - If they are in earnest In their
desire to bulla they would not hesitate
a minute In filing tha bond.
, "The publlo aurely does not under
stand tha request of the company.
There la an ordinance at present wnica
Kohlblts the operation or aiaugnter

- plant on a special permit which will ex

restrictions on packing plants within

by the city board Of health. i
Waits Bond Put Up.
Tf Rchwartsachlld A Bulxbunrer will de
posit a sufficient bond guaranteeing the
construction of the plant they propose,
I will Withdraw all of my objections
and vote for the ordluice. But I do
not Intend to let Zimmerman ret the
upper hand of the city and that Is what
I am .afraid of In this deal. We have
spent thousands of dollars In enforcing
..the very law wmcn some 01 uie council
"men seem so eager to repeal and I be
lieve that we ahould know what we are
going to get in return, it waa ror mat
lesson that I asked Mr. Helsey If he
.would be willing to put In writing and
guarantee with a sufficient bond what
his company intenda to do in this mat-
, ler."
Mr. Helsey on the other-hand takes
tha stand that to require a bond of his
' company would be an imposition. "If
they ask us for a bond we will make
short work of this matter." he said.
Sine the matter came up in the coun
: ell there has been a considerable change
f . sentiment on the question. People
at first understood that It would be a
special permit to Schwartsschlld A Suls
burrer and would not tear down the
bars to any and all packing plants, but
the measure la aweeplng and repeala all
ordinances bearing on abattoir and
' packing plants.

ROSS TRIES HEW
New demurrers In behalf of J- Thor
burn Ross In tha three cases charging
him with misappropriating the state
funds entrusted to the Title Guarantee
A Trust company, and separate demur'
rera in behalf of T. T. Burkhart and
John E. Altchlson In the same cases
were filed tn the circuit court this
morning. Thus the game of hide and
seek between the district attorney and
the attorneys for the alleged bank
wreckers enters unon another staee. .
The demurrers filed bv Carev &. Kerr
for Burkhart and Altchlson are almost
the same as were entered and sustained
to the earlier Informations. The new
Informations were prepared with a view
to remedying the defects pointed out
by Presiding Judge Cleland, but the ac
tion taken today indicates that there
will be another general attack on the
form of the documents prepared In the
diatrict attorney s omce.
Five a-rounds of demurrer are named
by Carey A Kerr. First, that the In
formations do not confirm to the re
quirements of the code concerning their
form. Tnla opens a wide field or po
slble argument. Second, that the acts
charged as crimes are not clearly and
distinctly set forth, so that the defend
ants may know the nature of the
charges. Third, that the acts are not
stated with such certainty as to enable
the" court to pronounce Judgment ac
cording to the rights of the case.
Fourth, that more than one crime Is
charged In the same information. Fifth,
that the facts stated do not constitute
a crime.
The demurrers filed by Wallace Mc-
Camant as attorney for Robs are less
lengthy, covering only the firat, nee
ond and fifth grounds aoove stated, ex
cept that in one of the cases. In which
It Is charged that State Treasurer
Steel made demand for the return of
the state's money, that "It appears on
the face of the Information that the
demand was made on a legal holiduy and
therefore at a time when the aaine
could not lawfully be made and when a
compliance with the same could not he
lawfully enacted.
Judge Cleland will fix a time for
hearing argument on the demurrers. If
these are overruled, the cases will be
ready to set for trial. District Attor
ney Manning still Insists that the cases
may be tried at the present term of
court by holding the Jury over until the
last of the month. When he aks for
the fixing of the trial date he will be
confronted by motions for change of
venue, on the ground that the defend
ants cannot receive a fair trial In Mult
nomah county. ,

Charches to Observe Pay.
The churches which will observe the
day are Congregation Ahaavl Sholom,
Park and Clay atreets; congregation
Nevah Stedek Talmud Torah. Hall and
Sixth streets, and Congregation Phaarel
Torah, First street between Hall and
Lincoln.
It Is In the orthodox synagogues and
homes that the more Interesting cere
monies take place, as tho holiday Is not
generally celebrated by the . reformed
aynagogues.
Hainan, grand vlsler to Xerxes, king
or the Persians, was a hater of the
Jews, and tried to persuade tho king to
order the death of all Israelites. Esther,
tne Jewish o.ueen, rrustratea Ms plans
and her people were save.d. The feaat
was Instituted by Mordecal and Esther
to commemorate the event. Bo, virtu
ally, the synagogue ceremony Is the
reading of the book of Esther, called
the "Meglllab." This leads to one of
the most curious ceremonies.
In the "Meglllah" often occurs the
name of Haman and his 10 sons. On
the feast day, as the readers chant
through tha narrative, whenever these
names are pronounced the congrega
tions hiss, stamp with the feet and rat
tle "gregara," or nolse-maklng contriv
ances. Dome or tne more orthodox
write the name of the despised iiaman
on their shoes, and at the name of
Haman stamp 'vigorously on the floor
as an additional contempt for the Per
slan tyrant
One of tho customs Is "the sending of
portions," as prescribed In the book of
Ksiner. uirts or rooa. especially dain
ties, are sen to one another. Cakes are
baked in different shapes and are aent
by the old to the young. The young re
ciprocate. The poor are made recipients
of charity.
in tne synagogues regular collections
are made, and the money bo procured
is aistriDutea among tne poor.
