FRANCHISE Railroad Must Get Off Fourth Street Nov. 1, Unless Beaverton Route Is Well Under Way O'Brien Sure Coun cil Will Be Lenient and Extend Time General Manager O'Brien of the Har rtman llns""1n Oregon said this morning that he would b able to got an exten Ion of time from the city council to complete the work .necessary to remov ing1 Bteam locomotives and freight trains from Fourth street, but a canvas of opinions from councilmcn ihows that there ts a decided sentiment among the councllmen against arrant ins the exten slon unless the company run show that it nas been acting in good riuin ami will act In good faith In removing the nuisance. There seems to be somothlfig behind the delay of the railroad company In constructing Its line from Ucavcrtiiii to WlllsburK, and the councllmen way that unless the company gets I'lisv at once and shows that It really Intends com- Kpletlng the line and removing the puff fng locomotives and unsightly freight onghfares of tho city they will not only refuso to grant the extension, but will ask the mayor to step In nnd see that the terms of the ordinance passed May 1, 1907, are enforced to the letter.

I'.oaverton Willsburg lino six say they- will favor a reasonable extension- of Hm1. Four say emphatically that they will not fuvor an extension, whllo one said that he would hot express an opinion until after he had carefully studied the facta In tho case. The remaining four councllmen could not bo found to secure an opinion from. v Manager O'Brien stated this morning that the company had been compelled to top ooiirwsiiwttfc.iwajtc on. tha-Heayer-ton-Wlllsburg line because of the finan cial flurry, but that work would be re sumed shortly. Me said that If work were resumed tomorrow the company could not complete the road by Novem ber 1, and that an extension of time Would be asked for, which he said he expected -to receive. Most of the members of the council take a somewhat different view of the matter, and say that they would only favor such extension If It could he hown that It was reasonable and that the facts warrnnted It. Thus far the company has done very little toward completing the line. Part of the grade has been established nnd the foundations laid for the bridge at Oswego. It Is said that the Iron for the bridge Is In Portland ready to be sot up. This Information Manager O'Ftrlen dn- ?led this morning, saving that it was he old story abcrut the bridge Iron ly ing on the east side and which he said was to he used for bridges on the Tilla mook line. Councilman Take Stand. Councilman Artnand visited the scene of operations Sunday and said that lie knew personally that the company had dona some work on the branch and that If the company representatives could show good ralth he would favor a reasonable extension of time, 1 Councilman Baker "This Is a bus iness proposition. The people living on the west side are to bo considered. If the company does not show good faith however, I am In favor of voting it off the streot. If It does show good faith I will favor a reasonable exten sion." Councilman Beldlng "If the com- rany shows good faith in the .matter will favor a reasonable extension.'' Councilman llennett "No. I voted to take the company's franchise at the time tho ordinance was passed and I am still In favor of doing so. If we grant thorn un extension it may bo construed that tho company has rights on tho street nnd I do not think it has. I will vote against and for a re vocation of its frunchiso." Councilman Cellars was not In the council when the ordinance was passed and said that he was not familiar wlih the conditions. He said, that he would be guided solely by the facts when the matter came up before ths council He also said that ne did not want the line on Fourth street. Councilman Concannon "If the com pany wants an extension I shall vote for It if It really needs It." Tot A gains Extamsioa. Councilman Cottel "No. This line has kept South Portland back for years and must be. removed as soon as pos slblo. I have, the Interests of the real' dents of South Portland nt heart and not the Harriman Interests. 1 shall bitterly oimoae any extension of time councumen iinscou ana misniigni could not be found and Councilman Wills Is out of the city. councilman Dunning "ir tne com pany is acting In good faith I will favor - Councilman icellaher "!No. Let -the mayor carry out the terms of the or dinance. The company has had plenty of time In which to construct the line and needs no further extension. Let the company get off the street. I am ready to take them off at the pres ent time." Councilman Menefee "It all depends on what the company has done and will do In respect to removing the cars. It should be off the street. If they pro ceed with the work of the line as rapid ly as possible between now and Novem ber 1, and then come In and ask for a month or two I would not be"In cllned to embarrass" them; Otherwise I would not favor an extension." No Mors Tim Heeded. Councilman Vaughn "No. I did not want to give them 18 months to per form the work. I knew ftiat the com pany would not get off the street and that they were simply making prom ises that would be broken later. Let them get off tho street now." Since the council passed the ordi nance last year there has been a deep sentiment stirred up. among f,he people to compel me ranroa.0 io get orr tne street, and If the company asks for an extension It Is expected that there will be considerable pressure brought to hear upon the councllmen to refuse the request.

Mrs. Mi ner Morris, sister of Congressman Hull of Iowa, who became conspicuous about 18 months ago througli, her charge that 1 hliTh officials of tin" secretary of state's shfl had been ejected from tho White very close to his holiness. Commenting on the suiMlslng simplicity and demo cratic spirit c.J .Pope., Flua, the write i "Traditions and precedents mean nothing to his holiness. For instance. one of the oldest customs prevailing at the Vatican, one dating back to the time of Urban VIII. compelled the pone to have all his meals alone. Leo XIII was a strict follower of this tradition but Plus X early in his reign decided he would like to have Monsignor Bres- san s comtanv at dinner. I he whole Vatican suite was shocked. It was pointed out to Mis holiness that he was violating a tradition dating back sev eral generations. His reply was that It was time they established a new tra ditlon." Audiences Bore Kim Dreadfully. Tho writer's close touch with th-5 pope's soolnl habits is shown by his ac count of the dally program of his oll nens, which reads thus: His holiness sleeps very light and never more than four hours consecu tively. At 5 In tho morning he Is up and ready to receive his private secre tary. Monsignor Brcssan. Mass Is cele brated a few moments later and nft?r IIkIH breakfast the pone goes for n stroll in the great Vatican gardens. The next thing Is to dispose of the day's correspondence, then come meetings of cardinals and the trial of the pope's life his privnte audlonces. "Notwithstanding the fact that his holiness has established a world wide reputation for kindliness, gentle ness and affability, these audiences are very trvlng on him and tax his nerves to the limit. Perhaps, one after another, representatives of a dozen noble Roman families will call to pay their respects and the pope must show an Interest 1n each person present and his or her fam ily and private affairs. Then probably will come n few French ladles who would like verv much to express per sonally to the pone their Indignation at the work of the French Freemason, h abumlnahlA Clemenceau.

"After having delivered themselves of ' these amiable sentiments tne la.nes men profit bv the occasion to solicit th pore's biessiner on themse! vfs, their families and their friends, known or tin known. Then he must also bless tho hundreds of medals, beads and Images which 'they produce out of ell sorts of pockets. ' "The"n perhaps, will follow In close succession a group of Arrrlran ladies Bryan's prospects of election are excellent. We are entering this campaign with a united party and under the most favorable con ditions. The Democratic plat fornjvill appeal powerfully, to the 'voters all fer the country, and I am confident that Bryan will be our next president." This Is th opinion expressed by Con gressman William Sulzer of Now York, who, with his wife, spent a few hours today In Portland, en route to Alaska. Tew men In pith' life are better In formed as to political conditions than Congressman Sulzer. Unlike many of the men from New York who have been prominent in national affairs, he Is well acquainted with conditions In the mid dle west and on the Pacific coast and he speaks from wide experience and Intel ligent personal observation. ' He Is par ticularly at home In Portland, having visited this city repeatedly. He was oiui or the foremost advocates in con gross of the appropriation for the Lewis1 and Clark exposition and has consist ently urged the improvement of the Columbia river. Mi. Sulzer spent two weeks In Port land In 19uS,, during the exposition, and he speaks of it in the highest terms. Prominent Character. - Congressman Sulzer Is now serving his seventh term In the house, of rep resentatives and Is looked upon as one of the foremost figures In that branch of the national legislature. In the event that the next house Is Democratic, as seems most probable, ne will he a formidable candidate for the speaker ship. Ills views upon the presidential campaign will naturally hev received with Interest all over the United Htates. "Bryan will win." said Mr. Sulzer In the course of a discussion of the polit ical situation. "It may be a landslide In his favor, but in any case he will win. Hryan will receive the electoral votes of the solid south. Including Maryland nnd Oklahoma, which will amount to 173. He will carry also California, Colorado. Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Kansds, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada. South Iakota and Wisconsin, these states having 77 votes in the electoral college. That, with the votes from the southern states, makes a total of 250, it.
