The club members allege that the school board overthrew It own plan V of competition which 'was Inaugurated when the construction of tha Jefferson of North Alblna High school u p- jected.. ' , '.They overthrew the . precedsnt - of : 1S0S In the face of petition from members Of the Architects' club, and In , eplte of our Information that sui h a .' proceeding was eontrarjr to the code of the InHtltote of Architect! by-which we , are all governed," aald David L. Wll llama, who headed the petition. . : "The assignment of -plane - for the new achool ws made absolutely to Whltehouse : A ' Foullhou wlth- . out opportunity for competition. , Mr, Lar&rus, ' senior . member, ... of . .the firm, wee "not named In' the . award.

Inasmuch as the plana for the new High achool, which la to epst 1850.000, will net the architect preparing them ' In the neighborhood of $17,000, the com mlaalon waa considered very desirable. . Mr. Williams, who circulated the petl , lion referred to. said this morning, that ' he had not done so because he wished to enter the competition, but because aa a member of the Architects' club he wanted all to get a square deal, which It seemed by the plans adopted by tha High school was not to be tha case. Mr. Whltehouae was the principal architect In the - construction of' the Jefferson High sqhool, and for both big contracts to go In their sequence to one man waa . considered as excluding other architects .who -were anxious to enter Into compe tition for the work. , School Board In Error. . . The ' school ": board . disregarded Its printed program of competition when It awarded the Jefferson High school to Mr. Whltehmise." said Mr. Williams. "This . was competitive, but. It was eta tad that a Jury of outalde architects was to pass upon the plans. This waa not done. I do not know why, for it has never been explained to me. "When the taxpayers held their meet ing some time ago we architects had gone there prepared to submit resolu tions Indorsing the continuance of the competitive system, which we recog nized as best for the building and best ' for -us, and absolutely eliminating any possibility t "playing favorites,'. The meeting was adjourned before we could ' submit the resolution.- I was told .aft - erward by Influential members that - It waa known to them that the resolutions were coming up. I do not know where they got the information. , , "Then we . put the thought of the resolutions Into a. petition, which was sighed by nearly all the architects In the city. The school board paid abso lutely no heed to this petition. A letter which I had written after the publication of the' competitive program asKing the school board some ques tions which I admit might have been uncomfortable, was never heeded." ' Notice : of dissolution of partnership was , formulated for .publication today by Lazarus, Whltehouae ft Fouilhoux. "We are dissolving partnership because 1 am getting out of the work-harness for an Indefinite t period," said Mr. X.ararus. ;'i plan to go abroad for an Indefinite period. I am not severing my connection with the firm because' of any 111 feeling whatsoever. pur agreement to dlsolve partnership 'was reached on December. 31, 1908. "I signed the petition to open the as signment of plans to competition be- dlan war veteran and "Oregon pioneer, wes declared In circuit court today to have been drunk for three yeara ' Mrs. Theresa Wood, Ms wife, made the statement She . appeared before Presiding Judge Morrdw In an endeavor to get a 'divorce from the husband she alleged to be dissolute, and to whom she was married April 1. lSSs. Judge Mor row probably will allow the decree. He has the case under advlaement. "When my - husband was dismissed from the fire department three years ago," testified the wife, "ha began drinking heavily. Whenever he came home be was too drunk to talk Intelli gently. He talked full. Also he lived with another woman for six months be fore I discovered It He went under her name." ; Mrs. Emma Stevens, a sister of Wood was called as a witness. She testified that her brother had been drinking heavily. "He seemed always drunk,' she said. "In three yeara I have not seen him sober. He drank ao hard be would wake, up drunk In the morning. - The estate of Colonel T. Ai Wood was Ued-up -In -the courts for the last two years. About three weeks ago It was settled." and -. after . that date Wood deeded- one third of his Interest to his wife, r ' ' - ' -: "Was he too drunk to act Intelligent ly When he algned the deeds?" Judge Morrow asked John Logan, attorney for the woman. '. "I do not know whether i or not -he waa," anawered the attorney. "Well." said the court, "I'll allow Mrs. Wood one third Interest In the prop erty which, goes to her husband, and If he ever cares to attack her rlgbt to the land he will not only have to Set aside the decree but break the deeds." Property which goes to Mrs. Wood Is situated in South Portland and Is valued at about $10,000. The Woods have three children Charles, II years old: Walter, 19 yeara old, and Margaret. 12 years old. Mrs. Wood probably will be given the cus tody 6f the minor children and ap pointed trustee of their share In the estate. - . j J,, H hi.

The Architectural club also protests against the site chosen by the school board lor the new structure. In a state ment given to the public and the Clvle Improvement league today. President Joseph Jacobberger of the club says: "At a recent meeting of the Portland Architectural club, the erection of the proposed new high school on the site ac quired: py tne scnooi ooard last year was discussed. A resolution, was adopt ed asking your body to take steps to prevent the erection of the building on thia site. From the fact that this site does not,, nor Is likely to fit in with any scheme of clvle beauty; also for the practical reason that It Is considerably away from the center of the present school population,' or the prospective population, a more central site might be selected. : . -. If permissible to suggest the position of this building It should be fitted In with the scheme" of a future public li brary and museum on the park block, and which so far as being centrally lo cated would certainly be an improve ment on the present proposed site.
