THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. FRIDAY .EVENING, MAY , 28, 1909. EOPLE STILL GOOD AS KRUPP I 1 n Burnside Bridge Bell ; Ee vives Daily Memory of Old Simon Jtegime and Stjirk Street Ferry Deal as I Sounds Warning, r . Suspended , abbve ' tba Burnside bridge, Portland's $40,000 bell tolls out Its occasional warning of an open draw. While It tolls Portland people' are being asked to go back to the regime which bought this bell, and Issued 3 0 year bonds to pay or it, upon which bond the people of Portland are now paying 6 per. cent interest and will continue to 'do so until 1925. - In 1895 H. W. Corbett owned the Morrison bridge and JameB , Lotan and his associates owned the old Stark street ferry, It was during the ascendancy of Joseph Simon in Oregon politics. In the session of 1895 a bill was Introduced In the legislature known as house bill 860 providing for the issuance of $200, 000 bonds, bearing 5 per cent and running for 30 years, by the city of Portland, for the purchase of the Morrison street bridge and the Stark street ferry. It was the original Intention, bo the political historians tell, to provide for the purchase of the bridge alone, but Lotan. who was then a Simon boss. threatened to hold up the bill unless his terry was Included In the deal. The correction was made and the bill wai passed, naming- Sol Hlrsch. N. K. West and J. V. Beaoh as a bridge oommls Hlon and giving them power to operate ana manage the triage ana uie ierry. The bonds were issued, the bridge and the ferry were purchased, the sum of J40, 000 being paid for the latter. Both were in bad condition and not worth the price paid for them. This was notorious ly the case In regard to the ferry, which made a few wobbling trips after Its ac quisition by the city and was then tied up, never to run again. At the time it was charged that the ferry was purchased) principally in order that Lotan might be able to pay off a heavy debt held against hinv by a Port land bank.- This was demonstrated by the early abandonment of the ferry with practically no use. The bell which it used to carry was transferred to the Hurnside bridge and really represents the total value to the oity of the $40,000 investment. This economical business transaction was pulled off by a Simon legislature at the request of Bimon loaders during a Simon political era, The bonda were issued and sold while the Simon faction was in control of the city government of Portland. The J40.000 went to the pocket of a Simon leader. It Illustrates the business administration of municipal af fairs under the Simon regime, to which the people of Portland are being urged to return.

QernianiComes to Inquire Why ; American Royal ties Have Ceased. (United Pr Leued Wire.) Pittsburg. May 28. That three Amer lean steel companies have evolved meth ods of hardening armor plate superior to the famous Krupp process, was made known today when the mystery attached to the visit to this oity of Baron von Bodenhausen of the Krupp interests was cleared. . r , For many years American manufac turers have paid the Krupp company fop the privilege of using its. process an annual royalty of more than $1,000,000. For some time the Carnegie, Mldvale and Bethlehem interests have not paid their royalty and the baron's visit was made with the object of learning the reason. The result of his conferences with the officials of the three companies was startling.- He learned that each company within the last year has per fected a process that enables it not only to equal the . excellent quality of the Krupp armor plate but to manufacture it 'at a cost of $134 a ton less. The Americans announced their wil lingness to demonstrate to the baron that the patents of the Krupp company bad not been infringed.

A potato patch near Roseburg yielded strange fruit and that out of season when dug into recently. Patent leather shoes, working shoes, baby slippers. and other kinds comprised the crop. A country storekeeper discovered mat ne had lost part of his stock, and the find was followed bv the arrest of 20 Ital ian railroad laborers who now await trial in a Roseburs- court, charcred with burglary. una or the. rang. Vito Tunxe. is also charged with carrying away a Quantity of stamps and cash belonging to the postofflce section of the country store. He la now being held for trial in the Multnomah county jail, being unable to give bond in the sum of $1600, as fixed by Commissioner Dorrls at Eugene. Tunse was brought to Portland last night by United States Deputy Marshal William Griffith, who has been collect ing evidence against the Italian for sev eral days past. 'The result Is a story full of unexpected features. - Tunze, in his broken way, tells how he and his family and his friends yearned for shoes. Before their courage was great enough to break Into the store where the shoes were, a seedy and dis consolate hobo. Georre Wilson. aD- peared. For a price of $26 he agreed to rob the store, and according to the Italian performed his mission faithfully. Dispute number one came when the Italians Insisted on paying for the job un me installment pian. mis aid not please the hobo, who had had a vision of a series of Juicy beefsteaks helped in digestion by long draughts from the flowing bowl. The dispute led to be trayal and all concerned were arrested. Wilson, the tramp, got, two years and began tQ do time yesterday evening at Salem. i But meanwhile stamps were found on the person of Tunze. Stuck to his clothes in some mysterious and un known way, he declared when arraigned. There seemed to be no direct evidence to hold him on a violation of the postal statutes and Tunze was settling back into his courtroom seat with a smile, when one of his family brought word that a switch engine had wrecked the car in which he lived. As an incident of the wreck the rest of the stamps missing from the postofflce were dis covered. Tunze Is now much of the be lief that an avenging providence was following his footsteps. Sheriff Fenton of Douglas county had been searching over the ground In the vicinity or me store while his Subordi nates were arresting the Italians. He found the ground on a hill side dis turbed strangely and dug down to find the shoes neatly planted In pairs. Officers are now .of the belief that the Italians burglarized the store and postof Iceland that they paid the hobo a sum of money to nleari rnlltv tn charge In order that they mlgnt escape punishment.
