: Efforts of Building Inspector to Protect
City From Fire Stalled by City, Body-
Councilmen Smarting Under Recent
Defeat on Nottingham Permit
Member of the city council, smart
t Ing from their defeat received from
Building Inspector Dobson over the
, permit allowing Senator Nottingham to
erect a frame building within the fire
limits, have planned a neat revenge
upon the Inspector, and at the next
council meeting will either abolish the
'office of building inspector or reduce
the salary to so email a sum that Dob
on will have to resign.
This report circulated at this morn
ing's meeting of tho council and the
members , will probably carry out their
scheme as soon as possible because
they were forced to adopt Councilman
. Concannon's minority report on the
resolution Instructing the city attorney
.to drop the prosecution of Nottingham
for violating the building laws. With
his hands freed City Attorney Kav
anaugh can proceed with the prosecu-,
tion of Nottingham in the municipal
-court where the case pressed against
him by Dobson is hanging fire.
Dobson rtreateaed.
.-Whether ' the councilmen carry out!
their threat or not. It Is known, that
the members have gone to the extent
of securing legal Information as to
whether they can abolish the office of
building inspector and oe memtwr stal
ed that "unless Dobson came down
from his high horse and remained good
he would lose his position."
The councilmen' claim that they have
authority to abolish the office under
the charter. According to subdivision
14 of section 73, the council has the
authority to create the office of build
ing Inspector. By the same subdivision
they elaim they have the right to do
away with the office. They claim they
have the right to regulate the salary of j
the office and this tact is conceaea
but three other employes of the office.
If they simply reduce the salary and
force Dobson out they could soon-
cure a new bead of the department
f ana restore the salary.
W hen the report .was spread aoout
the city nan this morning or me con
templated action much speculation "was
indulged In as to whether the council
man would really aare go so tar. Many
expressed the belief that the threat was
simply made to scare Dobson in order
to nave, nun comply wnn m wuun
of the council. Those who know Dob
son do not believe that be will be
"ftjfered." . He has outlined the conduct
of his office and has expressed him
self for an enforcement of all the laws
pertaining to his work as building In
spector. -He said mat ir tne council
does not want the building laws en
forced the members should repeal tnem.
He claims that he has done nothing
so far but enforce the laws and that is
all the council can expect him to do.
Nottingham Case in Donbt.
In the meantime people are wondering
what will happen to Nottingham. The
case against him Is pending in the mu
nicipal court and he would have been
forced to tear down his building on
East Second and East Stark streets
had he not appealed to former Judge
Cameron to withhold sentence until he
could secure favorable action from the
council. vvnetner me raa, win uc

of the extension of the exclusion laws

took notice. But when Hobson inado
his fiery speech before the committee
in open session and declared that war
with Japan was imminent, the lobbies

The Kortb Bank railroad will begin ! Horn, Butler Moffett Springs i Steven-
carrying mall between Vancouver,
Wash., Pasco and Intermediate points
; 'July 27.
Four clerks and ae many combination
. Miwhu will be nut on the trains. As
t goon as the bridges are completed and
' the trains running Info Portland the
contract will be altered so as to nanam
the mails for the north bank route
direct from the offices in this city.
Thla will add several additional
miles to the line, and the present con
J tract, which reached Portland only this
, morning, makes provision for the
change. The contract which goes into
effect July 27 gives the distance be
, tween Vancouver and Pasco as 221
miles and calls for mail service six
'i tlmea a week or as much oftener as
trains may run.
T Better, Service for Towns.
J The towns which are to be supplied
by this new contract between the gov-
ernment postofflce department and the
" official of the Spokane, Portland A
Seattle Hallway company, are as f ol-
Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Cape
son, Carson Home Valley, Collins, Un
derwood, wnite salmon, mngen, urana

Many of these towns, and more par
ticularly those nostofflces between iV
eouver and Pasco on the north side of
the Columbia river, have been supplied
by service from the Oregon side all
aloner the route. The new contract will
greatly improve the mall service and
nave many iiuurs in lime iur in iniieis
and papers going in each direction.
Portland the Headquarters.
Eventually other mall clerks are to
added to the run and when night trains
out of Portland for Pasco are put on
these will also carry mall coaches and
clerks as well. All of the clerks on
the new run will make their headquar
ters in Portland.
As yet the department officials have
not decided whether the mall service
on the North Bank will come under the
supervision of the chief clerk in Seattle
or. the chief clerk in Portland. It is
quite ' probable, however, that It will
come within the jurisdiction of the
Portland office, of which Frank E.
Whitney is the chief.
HOLD WIFE TO HOLD DOOR OPEN SO

A new method of dealing with the
mother-in-law problem is told in a corn-
'plaint filed in the circuit court today
! In which Mrs. Gelsomlna Farchl as-
aerta that Louis Farchl took about 14.
shot with a Winchester rifle at the,
" house of her mother. Evidently Farchl
waa a poor marksman, for the com
plaint does not tell of anyone being
nurt, or of the house being hit.
Mrs. Tarchl says that her husband's
arnlolt with the rifle followed a re-
her mother, her sister and her sister's
sweetheart.
Mrs. Farchl tells of another time
when her husband made her and her
three-day-old babe vacate ..a -bed-so that
he might sleep in it. At another time,
she allege, he threw a glass ut her.
It missed her, but broke a lamp chim
ney and when a woman visitor expos
tulated the excited Farchl is alleged
to have slapped her for Interfering.
On December 20, 1907, says the com

suggestions to emphasize his position.
That Hobson made a deen lmiu-esslon

ana permitted him to talk an hour.
Znman and Sis Kate Flank.
R. D. Inman of Oregon, member of
me resolutions committee, made a hard
fight for the insertion of the plank
asked for by the entire body of lum
ber and other shipping interests of the
Pacific northwest, backed by the most
powerful shipping organizations in the
country, in man a draft, submitted to
the committee, follows:
"The Interstate commerce commission
should be empowered to suspend pro
posed Increased freight rates on all
railroads upon petition of shlDDers.
pending investigation as to the reason
ableness of the proposed Increased
rates. '
After oonsultlnor with members. State
Chairman Alex Sweek, State- Secretary
Ryan and other Oregonlans here, In
man decided to draft in a form which,
he believed, contained all essential ele-
lnents of the desired law, with the hd-
dltional virtue of being brief. Ever
since the delegates arrived in Denver
telegrams and letters have been pour
ing in from all parts of the country
urging the Insertion of this plank. Re
quests came from entirely non-partisan
sources, lumbermen of the Pacific
northwest and the south and shippers'
organizations at Chicago, St Louis and
other cities. Some of those sending
such requests are prominent Repub
licans, who pledge support if the plank
Is adopted. It is claimed here that the
defeat of the Fulton bill at the last
session, which, as agreed to be amended
by Fulton early in the winter to em
hod v what the friman plank contains.
was accomplishes only after strenuous
efforts by the railroads, which found,
however, they were fighting some of the
most powerful bodies of shippers in the
United States.
Inman offered his plank almost lm
mediatelv after the session began, at
5 o'clock, after the adjournment of the
convention yesterday.
Znman Argues for Els Plank.
Inman was appointed a member of
the subcommittee of the resolutions
committee to make the draft of the
platform. He submitted a statement in
sunnort of his rate plank as follows:
"The Justification ror tne adoption
of this plank, briefly, is: Under the
existing law, if shippers ask for a re
duction In frelajht rates they must
prove to the interstate commerce com
mission the reasonableness of the pro
posed lower rates. It Is therefore only
fair that if the railroads desire to in
crease rates they should prove the
reasonableness of the proposed higher
rate. .Protection should be given against
trivial action by Irresponsible shippers
operating to tie uj trairic without
sound reason, by simply empowering
the commission to suspend the proposed
increased rate pending a hearing as to
its reasonableness.
Gearin Seat After Sunn,
Chairman C. K. Henry has succeeded
In obtaining the consent of the Call
fornia delegation to yield to Oregon on
roll call, to permit former United States
Senator Gearin to second Bryan's nom
ination. This will give him the floor
immediately after Delegate Dunn of
Omaha has placed the Nebraakan In

central committee and in those of the
Multnomah county central committee.!
Particularly in the latter the breach
has been widening from the time oil
the primary election up to the present!
day. It will be remembered that be-i

one backed by the Cake forces ana'
the other by the Hodson-Beach-Balley-i
Reed -combination which waa working
for the success of Senator Fulton.
Afrec the primaries It waa. said that tha
Cake people had won and this con ten-,
tlon was borne out by the election or
j. v. Kennedy and James . Kerch
as chairman and secretary. Later
waa claimed by the Fulton faction
the committee that the officers of the
committee, both state and central, wero
given to the Cakes because of' the fact
that H. M. Cake was the nominee of
the party for United States senator
and It would, be only right to allow
him to name the officials of hie com
mittees. Then came the state convention In
which the Cake and Bourne faction
was overlooked and disregarded and
about that time The Journal told the
story or tne spilt and the plan on Too;
to oust the, two chairrrien and the sec
retary of the county committee as soon
as the June campaign was well out cf
the way.
Swing1 Over to Fulton.
Since that time the Plan has been
working silently and it would seem ef
fectually. In the multnomah county
committee members supposed to be In
the Bourne-Cake column have been in-
I duced to resign In favor of Fulton ad
herents until it is claimed that the com
mittee is Fulton's by a strong ma
jority. According to the plan W. M. Cake
and Major Kennedy are to be persuad
ed to resign, If possible. If they will
not do so then the Fulton men will
make an effort to force them out so
that Fulton officials may be electe.l.
The argument being made is that since
Senator Fulton is the original Taft
boomer of . the state he should be al
lowed to have men known by him to
be in sympathy with his desires in con
trol or tne party organization.
Back of It all, however, is the de
sire of the Fulton faction to gain con
trol of the machinery of the state In
preparation for the future, presumably

held by Bourne. Senator Fulton Is to

Senator Fulton does not want the
legislature organized by the Statement
No. l men. Me wants to subsidize and
subvert Statement No. 1. and he wants
to do It for one reason because he does
not want it to appear that Senator
Bourne has strength enough left to
