ONLY PARTS OF CAR
FRANCHISES REVOCABLE
City Attorney Tells Councilmen There Is No Authority
for KeYoking Grants on Entire System Different
Bates on Telephone Service Cannot Be Prevented.
Portlanfl's city council may revoke
the franchise of the Hydraulic Elevator
company,
Only portion of the present franchisee
held by the Portland Hallway, Light &
Power company may be forfeited for
various violations. .There seems to be
no les-al cause for revoking the entire
system or grants neia dv vne company.
Discrimination by the Paclflo Tele
phone & Telegraph company can not be
prevented. The company may stgn pri
vate contracts with different individ
uals stipulating different rates to eaoh
If both parties to each contract agree.
But the telephone company can not
force patrons to pay higher rates than
those In effect under the former fran
chise, v
Xevanang-h Informs Councilman.
Such is the general oral opinion ren
dered by City Attorney Kavanaugh at
meeting or the franchise committee
of the city council this morning in re
sponse to a request from that commit
tee to be Informed whether the various
franchisee In question are subject to
forfeiture.
The Hydraulic Elevator ..company re
fuses f surrender its franchise, al
though it has ceased to give the service
required by the city, and has torn down
Its plant. For this reason the city at
torney holds that the rights of the com
pany to a franchise are revocable. The
council will probably take action at Its
next meeting to legislate the company
out or existence.
City Attorney Kavanaugtr will com
municate his written opinion at length,
and in detail at the next meeting of Ihe
he does not wish to touch any deeper
upon the matter of franchise, with
regard to the franchise of the Southern
Pacific on' Fourth street he thinks it
is subject to revocation under a pro
vision that required the railroad to re
move its steam locomotives from the
street after November 12. Failure to
do this, In the opinion of Mr. Kava
naugh, works a forfeiture of the franchise.
Part cf Franchise Xevooable.
While the city has : no apparent
grounds UDon which to take back the
franchise of the Portland Railway. Light
& Power company in toto, tne city at
torney read parts of the franchises
which show that certain portions of
these can be revoked.
Breach of the 15-mlnute service re
auirement also lays a franchise open
to forfeiture unless the city has by
long acquiescence worked an estopment
or its right to hold the company 10 us
contract. The same rule applies In case
of abandonment of a line.
Against Abandonment,
The cltv attorney is insisting that the
council In granting further franchises
stipulate that the company do not aban
don a street hereafter without the con
sent of the counclL Under the present
franchises the railway does not have to
:et tne permission or tne city to aDan-
on any part 01 its lines.
In his written ODinton Mr. Kavanaugh
will advise the city as to its power of
forcing the company to regulate speed
of oars, overcrowding, car construction,
use of fenders, and fares, and the opin
ion will comorehend other Questions
involving the convenience and safety of
ine-puonc.

' REACH VERDICT
After being locked up all night and
spending nearly 22 hours In delibera
tion, the Jury In the case of v Chester
C. Holloway was discharged by Judge
Bronaugh at 1:J6 this afternoon, unable
to agree upon a verdict-- Eight of the
jurors favored acquittal on the ground
of Insanity and four were for a ver
dict of guilty.
Holloway shot his divorced wife five
times with a revolver on June 27. He
bad been in the city only a short time,
and It was claimed by the defense that
be was not in his right mind because
of reports he had received concerning
alleged misconduct of Mrs. Hollaway.
It was alleged that what he heard was
true, but it was asserted that he has
ever since been irresponsible.
At 10 o"clock this morning the Jury
came in with a request for special In
structions and information as to the
consequences of a verdict. Judge Bro
naugh gave the instructions, but toM
the jurors that he could give them no
Information regarding the consequences,
as that is a matter for the court to de
termine. It appears that the Jurors
were willing to acquit on the ground of
Insanity if they could have been as
sured that Hollaway would be sent to
an asylum. Holloway was returned to
jail to. await another trial.

LIFE SEIITEIICE
FOR LOOSE
Without a change of expression or a
twitch of a Vnuscle, Jack La Rose this
morning stood before Judge Morrow in
the circuit court and heard sentence of
life imprisonment in the stats peniten
tiary pronounced. All through his trial
for the. murder of Hyman Neuman. La
Rose maintained a seeming indifference,
and his calmness did not desert htm
when he was called on to receive the
sentence that the verdict of the Jury
brought upon him.
John F. Logan appeared for the state
this morning, while I -a Hose warn renrs.
sented by Jay H. Upton and L. W. Hum
phreys. Logan at first asked the court
to postpone sentence, desiring to have
the prisoner arraigned later in the dav
on the indictment charging him with a
murderous assault on John Chong.
Judge Morrow put over the day of sen
tence until November 26, but Logan,
after holding a hurried conference with
the attorneys for La Rose, changed his
mind. Sheriff Stevens and his deputies
had started to return La Rose to his
cell, but he was called back and sen
tence was quickly imposed.
Judge Morrow allowed the attorneys
for the defendant until Mnunm k.. oj i
which to file a motion for a new trial.
He announced that it will be his policy
In criminal cases to require the attor
neys to dispose of the matters that come

Three coasters crossed in yesterday
just In time to escape a severe gale off

or the opinion that the gale will not
be of unusual severity or that it will
be felt much here. v
The three coasters that reached tort

All of them got to the river yesterday
morning just as the wind began to at

ston of . tne Rose City says high seas
were running when his craft entered the
river.
The Rose City arrived at Alnaworth
exactly 62 hours after leaving her wharf
at San Francisco. This is within four
hours or the record time, the steamer

MARINE NOTES.
ECZEMA CURED BY SIMPLE OIL
Tender BMns of Children Boothed by a
sua Jiiatua uompoana.
Have you ever tried a few drops of an
oil of winter green compound for skin
trouble? It Is the basis of a liquid com
pound which seems to be about the only
buao buu aura cure ior eczema, sail
rheum, tetter, ringworm and kindred
diseases.
The liquid is so mild that it Is used
with wonderful soothing effect on the
tender skins of Infanta.
To prove efficacious, the oil of winter
green must be mixed with thymol and
glycerine, as In the Prescription of Dr.
D. D. Dennis, the Chicago skin special
ist . The compound is known as D. D. D.
Prescription. Used with D. D. D. Soap
it appears to be infallible.
A. J. Brand, 1128 Jollet St., New Or
leans, La., writes:
"About Ave years ago when my daugh
ter waa about three months old she had
eczema very badly. Her neck was one
solid mass of sores, and we tried every
thing possible to relieve her, but to no
purpose. The doctor we called said that
he could cure her but that It wnnM nW
at least two years to do so, and on ac
count 01 ner age we surely thought that
her pain would Kill her. We began using
D. D. D. Prescription and- after using
two Domes sne was as well ann hannv
a child as you can see and with no mark
or scar on her skin.
"My youngest daughter, now two
years old, started the same way with a
sore neck about six months aeo. We
did not lose nnv time in applying D. D.
D. and It needed only a few applications
10 neai ner necK. x also use D. D. D.
after shaving with beneficial results."
As far as we have seen, the cures
with oil of wlntergreen as used in D. D.
u. irescripnon are permanent cures.
And we certainly do know that the in
stant D. D. D. Prescription is applied to
the skin the itch is relieved. A few
drops takes the itch away at once, cool

1 Soutli1 Bend: Watches
" - aSSBBBSBSSSSSSBBBSBBBBBBBBBJ
They Still Keep Perfect Time
IN almost every city, town and village in
all this broad land, there is a jeweler,, the
best jeweler in each community proving
by actual demonstrations this week that a
SOUTH BEND Watch may be frozen in solid
ice without injuring its timekeeping qualities
in the slightest degree.
Go to that jeweler and see this test. Sat
isfy yourself that it is honest and above board
that a SOUTH BEND Watch can actually
De irozen in ice without in
jury. Compare the second for
second time the watch in
frozen ice is keeping, with
the jeweler's regulator and
chronometer and the
other SOUTH BEND
Movements the jeweler car
ries. Then go to that jeweler
and let him explain to you,
as he will gladly do, how
SOUTH BEND Watches
adjust themselves automat
ically to every temperature,
why they stand strains and tests which
no other make of watches you can buy
will stand successfully. Let him tell you
why, because of this superior care in manu
facture and adjustment a SOUTH
BEND Watch is the best watch for you to
buy for every-day use, the watch that will
give you the greatest amount of timekeeping
service for your money.
No matter whether you are ready to buy
now or not, go to the jeweler now, see tin's
marvelous test and talk the matter over with
him. There is no obligation to purchase. He
will be glad to see you.
Your jeweler will . teH v you how every
adjusted SOUTH BEN .Watch is proven
before it is sent to. himv How it must un
dergo, without failure irt the slightest de
gree, tests that are twice as severe as
the worst strain or abuse you are ever
A SOUTH BEND Watch
likely to give it. How it is baked in
an . oven and kept "for' hours in a refriger
ator at freezing point, how it is adjusted to
meet every jar and jolt you will give it and
be proof against the vibration of railway
trains, the jolts of horseback riding, automo
biling, etc.
He will tell you hgw and why the
SOUTH BEND Watch Company, at an
expense of time and money which no
"ner watenmaker jca res
:o make, pays theHestv
jeweler in' each commu
nity to properly adjust each
SOUTH BEND Watch to
the individual who is to
carry it, and show you
why the watch that keeps
perfect time iri your pocket
cannot be depended upon
to keep time in anoth
er man's pocket. The
highest grade, most costly
watch made will fail as a
timekeeper unless it is ad
justed to meet the individual-
requirements of the person carrying it. You can
not make this adjustment yourself. Only a skilled
watchmaker can do that. A variation of one hundred-thousandth
part in the vibration of the balance
wheel makes a difference of one second per day; a
difference of one-thousandth part in the vibration
means a gain or loss of a minute and a half a day,
and a watch which varies that much is useless as a
good timekeeper. Your jeweler will tell you that
no extra charge is made for this service. The man
ufacturer will not allow a SOUTH BEND Watch
to be" sold in any other manner.
No other watch can possibly give the service that
a SOUTH BEND Watch does. Your jeweler will
gladly show you this beautiful modern watch. See
the watch froren in ice this week. If your jeweler
is not one of our 10,000 authorised representatives,
send us his name.

To See Fair port
Is to be convinced of our statements. We claimand the lo
cation of this addition conclusively convinces th$ shrewd
buyer that property in this addition will triple and quad
ruple in- value in the next few years.
History Repeats Itself
And the experience of Chicago, Kansas City, Fort Worth and
other towns which have become distributing points for the
large packing-house interests shows that real estate in the
vicinity of the plants has increased in value from opening
prices of a few hundred dollars to thousands today.
Portland Will Do Likewise
It is no longer a question of "maybe." The packing-house in
terests are here, and here to stay,, and the property around
these big plants, which will employ thousands of hands, is
bound to prove a big investment for the early buyerthe man
who can see an opportunity and grasp it quick.
