Onpn rharirca that the O. VR. & N,
comi anv iavs the bills of Kiernan and
Dunfway In their fight to' prevent the
' building of the Broadway bridge were
made at last night's meeting of the
Northeast Side Improvement assocla-
lion. ; '" . - ' v. ; . ''J':
Kor this reason It was contended that
no deal for the transfer of property
rights In securing the right-of-way for
the east approach of the uricige snouia
be concluded at (this time. Arrange
ments were made' to send a committee
firmed with petitions signed by tast Side
citizens to implore the council not to
accept the O. B. & -N. company's, pro
posals at next Wednesday's meeting,
A significant paragraph'' of areoliH
tlon adopted by the association reads:
"There Is a "well founded Impression on
th9, .art of all who have taken any in
terest In the Broadway bridge" that the
O. B. & N. company la in sympathy
with the litigation against the Broad
way bridge and is giving the enemies of
- the bridge moral and material support."
. . i "Arrogant rroposaL".
Judge Munly, In an address, defined
the terms of the O. K' & N, company
as an "arrogant proposal." He added
his belief that if the railroad Interests
desired to dealfairly with the city they
would not have dragged the contested
East Side street vacations Into the deal.
"Holding club over the city" was
Judge Munly's characterization of the
1 railroad's attitude. - '
Part of this thought ' was also ex
pressed In the second clause of the res
olution adopted which is as follows: ;
' "Broadway bridge rights-of-way should
have been taken up as a separate prop
ortion and not connected with numer
ous other street- vacations, , and other
concessions now demanded by the O. R.
& N. company.- , Tour committee is es
pecially opposed to connecting the
Broadway bridge rights-of-way question
with the ; vacation of streets in East
Portland. There is a strong opposition
In East Portland to the vacation of these
streets, on the ground of public policy,
unless accompanied by certain reserva
tions which the people have a right to
demand if they think proper. t4
" "Any recommendation of the proposi
tion of the O. B. & N. company, which
includes the vacation of these streets
in East Portland. - would, meet with
strong opposition in that section of the
' city, As the people of the east side
have always worked in harmony for
. the general public interest it is desir-
able to maintain this policy for the fu
ture." ; ;: t - ;'..-
The resolution concludes by saying:
"It is Inexpedient at this time. In
.view of the fact that no bonds can be
- sold, and litigation Is pending, to fur
ther consider any settlement with the
O. R. & N. company until such litigation
Is out of the way.
"Your committee thinks that the prop-
osttlon made by the Terminal company
"is a. fair one and should be accepted,
Your committee is ot the opinion, how-
i ever, that some, further, effort ought t$
be made at this time by the city author!-
.ties to bring, about an adjustment be
tween the city and the Northern Pacific
. Terminal company of the rights of the
city to the unvacated streets in the
- Terminal company's yards. -

' "The appraisers appointed by the spe
cial committee of the city on these ne-

wards of 1,000,000 on the streets sought

committee recommends - that

upon the rights of the city in this connection,-
and that adjustment, of the
rights of the city in this matter be ar-

' way bridge bonds."

Valuations were fixed upon the Ter

In exchange for the vacation of certain
streets. The city committee In its re

acceptance of this trade.
"The O. R. & N. Co. in its negotiations

to next Saturday, i JCarJy today there
was a possibility tliat a definite an
nouncement that Reno would be the
battleground would -be forthcoming be
fore nightfall, but Blot's postponement,
combined with the decision to hold a
test fight next Monday in Blot's arena,
put a crimp in- their1 plans,
Before Blot's statement was made
publio Rickard said:
"I can't say anything x)f a definite
nature at this time. We may be in a
position , to do so within a an hour,
perhaps tonight, and perhaps not until
tomorrow.) All depends upon the out
come of the Kaufman-Langford affair
and the advice of our attorneys." .
Gleason was more emphatic. He, de
clared that he stood ready to fight to
the last ditch. . v . -
"If this fight takes place this afternoon,"-
he said, "and there Is no mili
tary interference, then I am In. favor

should he not the Jeffries-Johnson con
test will take place in this city."
Despite the optimism displayed by the
promoters, the almost unanimous belief
is that Reno will be tlie battleground.
In fact, there is a suspicion that Glea-
son and . Rickard have already decided
upon Reno but that they are holding
back and keeping the situation in an un
certain state for the purpose of getting
better terms out of the Nevada met
ropolis. Rickard stated this morning
that he did not know when he would go
to Renoto consult with the representa
tives of Ely, Goldfleld and Reno.
"We do not know what we are go
lng to do in the matter of a battleground
but we are going as far, as wa can to
have the championship decided , right
here, but wherever the contest takes
place it will be on the afternoon of July
4. You can make that as strong as you
like." - . - .
-.That substantial preparations to go
to Reno are being made became known
today when it-1 was unofficially -an
nounced by one - In 'a position of au
thority that' the railroads had been ap
proached in the matter or rates ror tn
Fourth of July. The tip was so con
crete that the fare for the round trip
was given as $9.60.. -
, ' Although neither Gleason nor Riekr
ard would admit that he would wait for
a decision in ..the test case, they said it
was possible they "would If . they were
given reasonable, assurance tnat .a de
cision would' be forthcoming on" Tues
day, but they amended this by saying
that they might call everything off here
tonight, pull up stakes and pack off for
Reno. i
Some of. the timid ones are beginning
to inquire about cashing their reserva
tion certificates, while at the same time
orders for tickets continue to come in.
It is' the intention of the promoters to
authorize the bank to cash all certifi
cates held by those who do not desire
to go to Reno, aa soon as the announce
ment is made, if it is made at all, that
the fight goes to Nevada.
RAILROADS CANCEL
NEARLY ALL ORDERS
FOR SPECIAL TRAINS
(United Press Leuert Wire.)
San Francisco, June 18. As a result
of official opposition to prize fights
In California the railroad companies
have been asked to cancel many orders
for special trains from the east. The
Santa Fe has canceled 24 out of 27 spe
cial trains, and the Southern Faclflo
has canceled 30 out of 33 specials. The
only trains left on, the Southern Paclflo
schedule today are one from Oklahoma
City, one from New York and one from
New Orleans. These may be canceled
late today. The roads had expected
10,000 people on special trains and as
many more on the regular trains. !

that they will appeal to the state

Calla It Outrage.
Councilman Lombard .named the at
tempt of the railroad company to dis
regard the referendum an "outrage."
V "What ia the use of the ' referendum
if privileged parties are permitted to
disregard it by , our officials," he ex
claimed, hctty. , -'- : . ,"
- "I am a citizen of this state and this
city. I believe in law and its enforce
ment foj" all things. If the law Is to
be disregarded In this highhanded man
ner in thla Instance, there will come a
time, no , 'doubt when for ' the protec
tion of personal interests I Will want the
law enforced and -will not be able to se
cure .Its enforcement . i-vv-'.'.(; .
'Tt seems that the railroad company
rests serene in. its belief that it.-can
make any use. of the peoples' property In
Portland that it desires, it seems to an
ticipate protection for all -that it does'.
This is an extreme case, 6ne where
the people of .the city should rise up in
their indignation and demand that their
Interests be protected and their . laws
enforced by their officials. The present
condition is an outrage upon society.
' People STot Protected. , ;
"The referendum la the people's pro
tection, but apparently they are not to
be given protection, for the railroad
companys' procedure In disregard of It
is sanctioned by our mayor and our city
counselor. The people Invoked the ref
erendum against the ordinance. I do not
care to discuss whether. or not that ordi
nance should have been passed. That is
not tha question. - The Issue is that 6000
voters protested against that ordinance'
adoption. Until the people have, oppor
tunity to vote upon the measure the
railroad has no right to act But it does
act, without right because our officials,
seemingly Us officials and friends, give
It protection.
"We shall take every means within
the law- to stop such Illegal outrage.
This la the Citizens' case, and as a citi
zen I mean to fight. I should like to
see every good citizen come out defin
itely on this side and settle once and
for all whether the railroad can rule
thla city in violation of Its laws." '

Contesting th nf th Ct Tt R- N.
