Is claimed by friends of Miss Murphy
that all hive received financial -,belp

double life in Portland, and was known

11 GUILTY OF
Convicted Market Man Threat
ening to Mrs. Evans, City's
A; Inspector f ;
Prank 1 Smith, bead of the meat
markets by that name, turned In a bel
ligerent manner : upon Mrs. Sarah A,
Evans, market Inspector, this morning
In the municipal court, when she asked
to talk to him about a matter of market
Inspection. Two men standing near Mrs.
Evans, and hearing the remarks of the
meat, man, stepped up to. protect her
from what threatened to oe trouDie.
Smith had Just been fined $60 for sell'
Inir tneatnhfinor use. .: .
Immediately after, Jddge TazweH had
announced that the evidence showed
the meat company to be guilty as
charged, and announced the fine, Mrs.
Evans asked Smith if she could speak
to him. ? 1 :v ' :';
"No, yon "can't speak to me," replied
Smith, ijm 'ri0. -y i
fWon't you step outside; I . have
something about which I would like, to
speak to you?" asked Mrs. . Evans, po
litely. : - .- '
You can't talk to ma I don't want
to see you. . I don't want to' recognize
you. You can't talk to me at all."
"well " began the market Inspector.
Language Is' Gruff. . '
There's no use. Tou can't talk to
me, and I don't want -to speak to you.
Never mind; never mind," gruffly spoke
Smith to Mrs. Evans, as be edged his
way through' the crowd."? ";"":: --y.-.
Mrs. Evans .then turned to the attor
ney of Smith, and took up with him the
matter about which she wished to talk
with the meat man.
Evidence ' Introduced before Judge
Taawell, showed that Mrs. JYank I
Smith bad gone to M. Deraglch, who
made" the complaint and became so
boisterous that ihe was ordered to leave
his home. Deraglch also testified on
the stand that Mrs. Smith had-flrst rep
resented to him that she was a newspa
per reporter and wanted to. talk about
the ease. He refused, and she later
told him she was Mrs, Frank I Smith.
' ' Keas mailed. Badly.',
I was passing the Alder street meat
market and went in to buy some fish,"
testified Deraglch. I saw some pigs
feet and bought four. When I got to
my home at 664 East Burn aide street I
found the feet were in very bad shape.
They smelled badly, and had blue lines
through them. My cousin also saw
them and we could not eat them. I no
tified the health office, and turned the
meat over to the officers la that de
partment"
Mrs. Evans said she had In vetl rated
the complaint and - that the pigs feet
were unfit to eat when turned over to
her. E. D. Smith, city chemist also
testified the feet were .unfit for nse-
Mrs. Frank L Smith admitted rolnr
to tne nome or Deragicn, and asked him
questions, cne lesunea ne refused to
talk, except to .say there were many be
hind him in the case. She also admitted
snaking her finger at him,
Seraglch Xs Wanted.
Mrs. Evans told in rebuttal that
woman called her up on the telephone.
saying she was a representative of the
Frank I: Smith Meat company, but
would not give her name. . Mrs. Evans
told Deraglch if any one called to see
him not to talk about the case. Within
an hour after such : advice, Deraglch
said Mrs. Smith came to see htm. Frank
U smith said be took unusual nr Amo
tion to keep good and . wholesome meat
on the counters and that be would have
gladly reclined the mistake If Deraglch
had made the complaint to him;
Assistant City Attorney Sullivan ; ar
gued before the court that a clear case
of violation of the law had been proven,
and insisted upon a heavy fine,
"This man bought the meat" he de
clared. "It was not fit to eat and he
did not have to go back and make a
complaint or ask for other meat, it is

DEFEtjDS VACATING
OF
Charles Smith Believes Rail
road Offers Portland a Rea-
, sonable Proposition. ; '
Portland, Nov. 25-To the Editor of
The Journal.' As I have always taken
a great deal of Interest in publio af
fairs, relative to the bplldlng-up or a
greater Portland, I wish to have the
privilege of expressing my opinion rela
tive to a matter of which I, think la of
great importance to the growth of the
wholesale and manufacturing district of
me enure east bioo, ana i reier panicu
larly to the vacating of several of the
east side streets for the purpose of ex
tending larger terminal facilities and
the building of a large and commodious
freight depot to supply the wants' of
suffering business section. '
About one year ago the National Cold
Storage fic Ice company expended nearly
$200,000 in buildings and machinery.
The company alone have been materially
handicapped In the matter of not having
the proper railroad facilities for band
ling their business. I am ' told by the
yardmaster, in charge of the east side
terminal yards, that the railroad com
pany is now handling about 900 cars
daily, on a 350 , car trackage and all of
the private spurs belonging to tha own
ers of property are . filled with cars
simply because the railroad company
have not the, trackage to handle the
business. , '-.-;,' ':',:':.,,. "-".". :,' '
Cars loaded with merchandise con
signed to merchants on both the east
and west sides of the river, from up th
valley, have been compelled to wait
several days for their freight on ac
count of the Inadequate trackage in East
Portland. - These cars in . many in
stances have been left at the car shops
three miles from the center of distribu
tion . until room was provided in the
business District to receive them. r .
I am simply saying this to illustrate
the advisability of the vacating of these
streets : In order that all of the busi-
Hess interests not only on the east side
of the river, but the west side aa welt
ein be accommodated. : It seems to me
tiat the railroad company has made the
city a very reasonable proposition in
exchanging valuable properties for the
privilege of laying more tracks on un
used streets, that have laid - dormant
far many years and will remain so nn
lsesome concessions can be made by
our council to accept tha proposition
offered. , There are many owners of
valuable property In this district who
will begin , the erection of substantial
warehouse buildings as soon aa ' the
proper trackage is provided , for .han
dling merchandise. ' -. ; .
; It is quite evident that .about four
councilman are somewhat dense in
grasping this situation, and they should
wake up atid get in step with nroCTess
or they' will soon find themselves out
of the procession. It Is a good deal
better andwiser, it seems to me, to
ccept the Inevitable and help shape up
things right than It is to stand on' he
outside and kick an embittered fault
finding kick. '
I believe the improvement clubs of
this great City who are opposing these
vacations are Influenced by persons who
have not investigated this subject on its
merits, and T would advise that they
confer with the business men affected.
who represent in real estate and busl.
nesa over $10,000,000, not for the bene-
fit of the railroads, but for tha general
benefit of their increasing business and
the building up of one of the greatest
districts in this city. I would advise
that the push dubs appoint a commit
tee to: confer with business men rela
tive to this matter, to better acquaint
themselves with the situation.
I notice that the Sunnyslde Push Club
la against the measure and I believe
if they would take the trouble to in
vestigate they would see this matter in
an altogether different light Come
down in the wholesale district gentle
men, and talk with the business' men
upon the subject ; Within the next threa
years the great Panama canal will be
finished and public docks will have to
be provided, and I will venture to say
that when the time comes there is not
a councilman but what would vote to
vacate any number Of streets for the.
purpose of establishing docks and the
mu rui-wUl pplyrelUve to term
inal facilities. - Cars will have to be
provided to handle merchandise to the
inland empire and the eaa side is the
only available placa for this business.
In advocating these vacations, I pre
arc
snras
sume many, persons would claim that
I was protecting the Interests of the
railroad company. I wish to say, that
I am not in the interest of any railroad
but I wish to be placed on- the right side
of the best Interests of this city and I
honestly believe that if the city council
would vote , vacations and franchises
asked for they would vote a measure
that would bo a benefit to the business
interests of this city. I
In conclusion, 1 will say that what
prompted me to write this letter is be
cause that I know that Jit will meet the
approval ' of every business man that
wants to sea this city a larger city.
