Mayor Lane's policy In refusing to aocept the Kaat Twenty-eighth street bridge wm vindicated last night when the report of the special bridge com mittee appointed by him to inspect the structure was submitted to the execu tive board. This committee, for which the council appropriated a fee of $500, Is composed of experts in the use of re- ' enforced concrete. They are W. A. Grondahl. R. L. Donald and J. W. Mof fat t. The report recommended that the ' bridge be not accepted at the present time, and it was adopted. Reasons given for this recommenda- - tion are that the south abutment is ' cracked clear through and may fall at any moment; mat tne main giraers . m have sunk, owing to weak con struction; that the parapet is out of line and cracked In many places; that ' the hand railing or tne Driage win : deteriorate because the specifications were not adhered to; that the floor slabs are far too light and the face and - wing wans entirely inadequate; that the duality of concrete used in V the columns vas inferior owing to the contractors inexperience; mat tne un certain position of the reinforcing rods ' renders it difficult to ascertain the strength of the columns, and that the contractor departed from the lines of good bulWlng practice; tnat the con- otruction was faulty throughout, al- though In the main specifications were tollowed ana tnererore me city win t have to pay for the bridge. The experts found particular fault . with the specifications as furnished by the city to the contractor. They de clare that deplorable lack of foresight was used by the designers, who, they say, did not anticipate the heavy trat- flee of the future. The floor slabs r esneciallv weak and the city wlli have to limit the loading strain permls- eible on the spans, v City Engineer Taylor still thinks the bridge is a gooa one ana lie uunm ei that the only question will be the result of a difference of opinion be ' ' tween the examining experts and the Hlfrnerfl. Attorney 1j. A. McNary. for the Northwest "Bridge company, which built the bridge, asked for a copy of the ex pert committee's report. The mayor ' ordered that one be eiven to the com pany. - ' SALMON CONFERENCE COMES TO AN END After ehnrt addresses from almost all ' of those present at the conference of salmon fishermen and legislators held at the Cornelius hotel yesterday, the meeting adjourned last evening, after adopting resolutions proposing inai me " spring season 'extend from March 1 to May 1: -that there be a cljosed season . from August 20 to September 10.

John Basil Barnhlll arrived in Port land yesterday from Ban Frtanclsco, where be has been engaged in a series of debates with Professor MeDevItt, formerly of the Washington State uni versity, ,on the subject of Socialism.. Mr. Barnhlll has made Socialism a special study both In this country and In Europe, and has for some years been very active in the anti-Socialist propa ganda. He has debated with Debs. Thompson, McQrady and other leaders of the Socialist movement in this couu- Last night he challenged Walter Thomas Mills, who is Just now engaged In giving a series of lectures at the Masonic temple, for a Joint debate in this city.

FULLER FAILS TO convincE board Contract Is Let for Paving Belmont Street With Bitulithic. WOMAN'S BREAST AND MAN'S FACE Most Common Places for Cancer The papers made mention a short time ago of people cured of cancers without knife or pain by Dr. and Mrs. Dr. Chamley & Co. Since that time the cures of many prominent people hare been the occasion of great com ment. They all said their cures were mar velous beyond expression, many of them having been given up to die. They first obtained the doctors' free book, (Which proves that any lumo In woman's breast is cancer. It led to, as they say, the greatest blessing of their lives. All the leading ' newspapers and 5iedical journals of the world have oted their success and wonderful urea, thev charke nothing: until cured and offer 11000 if they fail.

They prob ahljr have the best 124 page book ever printed on cancers' snd tumors, sent free only to those who describe their ease. Their address is 686 McAllister street, San Francisco, CaL Despite the protestations of F. I. Fuller, of the Portland Railway. Light & Power company, last night the city executive board by a unanimous vote let the contract for paving Belmont street with bitulithic, from East For tieth to East Sixty-second, to the Pa cific Bridge company. The cost of the new Improvement will be $86,000. The railroad magnate warned the board that his company would fight the city to the last in an effort to protect what he called the rights of the corporation to pave Its share ef streets with material no more costly than that used in the otner property owners portions. The letting of the contract forces the traction people to lay Belgian olorka on us part or ifeimont street. Mr. Fuller salad It is unjust and unfair to expect tne company to pay for the tx- pensive blocks while the rest of the street is assessed for the comparative ly Inexpensive bitulithic, and that the railroad would have to pay $57,000 of the entire cost of the street while it only used less than one third of it Effective In Thirty Says. City Attorney Kavanaugh holds that the ordinance defeated by the council at Its last session when only two mem bers voted aealnst It was beaten as an emergency ordinance but will become a law arter 30 days any way. This was the bill which rescinded proceedings on the Improvement of Belmont. Before the city attorney made this ruling Mayor iane had declared the ordinance dead. v ice President Fuller wanted the ex ecutlve board to wait until the council could again take action. Several property owners were given the privilege of the floor, and they urged the board to wait no longer but to let the contract Immediately. They showed that tha cost of putting in the blocks would be only $4000 more to the rail road company and City Engineer Taylor declared tnat tne improvement would be worth that much to the company on account oi tne longer wear it will give. Sevtn Tears of Xffort. "This Rln Van Winkle business oue-ht to be discontinued," said Mr. Newell of the board. These people have been try Ing to secure a hard surface pavement on Belmont street for seven years and they ought to have It. It is true that the railroad may have to pay $4000 more lor sione oiocas man ior DUUlltnlC DUt It is also true tnat other . property own ers may have to pay more than that if new proceedings are begun on Belmont street. After the contract had been let Mayor Lane turned toward some of the rest dents who had appeared to fight fof ma immediate improvement or their street and said he wished to prophesy that every one of them would be sorry that they had secured the hard sur face. "Traffic will be diverted from all the nearby thoroughfares to Belmont street," said he, "and you will have to wade through mud In gum boots to cross It in wet weather."
