' Passed. ' -' .- '
Mayor Lane then asked Baker tf he

The city council this morning passed
' the ordinance which will drive out of
business fortune tellers, palmists and
mediums who, practice la the name of

more than $500 or a jail sentence of not
less than $0 days nor more than six
months for any who advertise their
business' either In the newspapers, by
sign or card, or by any other manner.
Only. trlscoll,and Rushlight voted no.
For mora than an hour tha ordinance
was debated and a large number of
palmists and spiritualists were allowed
the floor. Finally Virginia Rowe ob
tained the floor- against the ordinance.
She was followed by Sophia Selp and
Mrs. L. 8. Thomas. Their chief com
plaint seemed to be that tha- ordinance
worked simply against them and not
against the branch of spiritualism rep
resented by H. D. Barrett, who is held
to have inspired the measure. y
Councilman Holding and other coun
cil men spoke In favor of the ordinance
and wanted it made as drastio as pos
sible. They finally amended the origi
nal ordinance by cutting out the word
fraudulently' in section , making it
read, "any person practicing , for the
1 purpose of obtaining money." '

: jy Present Official, -
George J. Cameron, when he takes
Office July 8, will get all that Is coming
to hiro from the office of District At
torney Manning. Practically all state
cases which have been begun wunin
the past few weeks, the remainder of
the cases against the officials of the
Title Guarantee 4 Trust company, and
all those cases which may come up be
tween now and July will fall to the
lot of District Attorney-elect Cameron.
With the exception of about three cases
which are on the docket for dates, be
fore July. all circuit court cases in
the hands of the district attorney are
set for times after July f.
The bank holidays of last fall held
up the business of the olroult court in
Multnomah county and as a result when
work was resumed the dockets were la
a badly congested condition and have
remained so since that time. With the
resumption of work a great effort was
made by the court to clear up the crim
inal calendar but before this was done
tne people having civil cases pending
began to clamor for the hearing of Chelr
suits. Slnoe that time the court has
been taking care of both cases as rapid
ly as possible but still cases filed in
April will not be heard until after the
summer vacation in uctoDer or laier. '
Because of this condition of the dock
et alt eases which have arisen In the
district attorney's office of recent date
have been set flown on the circuit court
docket for such times as could be found
open, which for the most part was af
ter the summer vacation.
When District Attorney Manning
leaves office, therefore, he will leave
behind him a pile of work to distract
the attention of the Incoming official
for some months to come. Investigation
Into the evidence of all these cases,
preparation of the cases for trial, gath
ering together - the witnesses and all
other Incidental work In bringing the
cases before the court for hearing; -will
be no small tasK lor an oinciai wno
knows nothing of the cases, or the 'of
fenses which caused them to be filed
with the court District Attorney Cam
eron therefore, will be a muoh busier
man than Municipal Judge Cameron and
will continue so for some few months
after his assumption of office.

' When the question of grading! East
Thirteenth street between Alberta and
Roselawn arose in the city council this
morning several members spoke against
the present method of alio win ar street
grading and- the laying of sidewalks
by private contract, and the street com
mittee will make an lnvestl ration and
report back at the next meeeTing,
According to Councilman Baker and
Other members, the privilege of private
grading nas oeea aousea, - ana Mayor
LAne- toid 01. a case where the eon-
tractor simply took out a permit in the
property-owner's -.. name without " the
man's knowledge. ; The first the property-owner
- knew anything about the
sidewalk was when he discovered the
workmen installing it. Other abuses
were mentioned by Councilman Baker,
one of which waa the fact that in cases
he knew about the contractor left the
street in an almost impassable . condi

Councilman Bennett told of a case
where an improved street, had been
S radically out off because of tbe con
itlon of streets oneninsr into It. ' These
streets had been graded by private per
mits and left in the condition described
by Baker. City Engineer Taylor was
pressnt and stated that his department

decided that in the future no nermlt
would be granted until the streets af-

seemed to the - councllmen to be the

Baker contended that the city owned
the dirt and could use It In filling in
and Baker waa rattlr. r

AGENT MADE MORE
SALES THAU EXPECTED
Adams Cannot Recover
Haley's Big Commission,
the Court Holds.
By the decision of Presiding' Judge
Gantenbeln In the circuit court this
morning, Frank J. Raley wins the un
usual and handsome commission of 10
per oant, or $23,900, on a $239,000 land
sale In the Irvlngton tract.. He re
tained this sum out of the proceeds of
the. sale, and the court holds that
Charles Francis Adams of Boston, form
er president oi tne union facirtc rail
road, who owned the land, cannot re
cover it
Raley was employed by Adams as a
salosman for three months, with a con
tract tor 10 per cent commission on
"any land" ha sold. It i annears that
Adams thought Raley would do noth
ing more than to sell one or two lots
at a time. He did not realise that he
had employed such a good salesman un
til Raley presented him with $206,100,
having been careful first to put away
for his own use the 10 per cent com
mission. Adams objected, demurred
and demanded, all to no effect, so fi
nally he sued the successful agent for
an accounting. To this the attorneys
for Raley filed an answer, and tha at.
torney representing Adams a reply.
Kaieya attorneys filed a demurrer to
the reDlv. and this waa auatalnaul hv
Judge Gantenbeln.
The effect of the decision is to up
hold the 10 per cent oontraot. Judge
Gantenbeln remarked that while this Is
an unusual commission, the contract Is
plain and clearly conferred on Raley
the authority to make the sale.
