San Francisco, Dec. 17.--Encouragel by the failure of the nursfir of the stfumship Humboldt to Identify any of the fur prisoners charged with the larceny. of J60.000 vbrth of gold bullion .from. Ihe vessel last August during her voyage from Alaska to Seattle, the law yers for the defense aro now planning to tarry the fight to the prosecution and attempt toregaln possesBlon of the bul- lion and currency that was seized by the police.' ' - ' . " The disputed 'treasure consists of SS000 worth of gold bars and $1500 in c urrency. In . order to prove that the confiscated. bullion was stolen the pros ecution will have to bring many .wlt . nesscs from distant points in Alaska, and the expense will be enormous. But beyond th&fr it will be more difficult to nrove that the $4500 in currency 'found In the ; possession of K, L. Sp'vand Margaret JKnry Is part of the' breeds of the sale of stolen bullion. .,'.-.-. .'.': ' K Sef eos Zs Confident.; , ' , , Attorney Benjamin I. filoch, of couri . set for the accused prisoners,-said today that he. was confident that the state never would be able- to prove the theft of the, bullion, or even Its ownership. And in that event, he said, both bullion and currency would have to" be returned to Smith and the Henry woman. ' "When the preliminary! examination of Smith and Margaret Henry and of J. T. and G. M. Woodson shall be called . in the pollen court next Monday," he , said, "we' will' Immediately move for -a reduction of ball. We think that $25,000 ballfor each of the four prisoners Is excessive. e also wiU resist any further attempt 'upon the part of the prosecution to secure a postponement of the examination, pur clients have now been in Jail for a week, and they .are entitled to an immediate hearing." The police say they are not at all alarmed over the prospect of losing any of the bullion and currency now in thir possession. - - They express the belief ' that they will be able to establish the ownership of the disputed property and that they will easily prove that it was ., ; stolen. ' ' ' i I1 v"We, have not published all the Evi dence we have again at Smith and the other prisoners, said Captain of De tectivea .Wall "The, four persons now In Jail are likely to remain there for .some time, and we hope soon to in crease their number. Before-we shall have finished with this case, all -the 'guilty persons will be behind the, bars," the city assessor has added to his first estimate so that the. tax levy for the city is now. based on an assessable val uation of $2:8,000,000. The ways and means committee yes terday increased the rr.ayor's allowance for the fire department fund $32,000 in order to provide for the erection of fire stations in' Kenilworth and at a point near the lntersectin of Twenty-fourth and Lovejoy streets. In order to do this It was necessary to cut down the estimate for the police fund accordingly. -All the other estimates -of the mayor were left as he submitted them. A S.mill levy will raise a total fund of $1,648,000, which the taxpayers of the city will have to pay. ' The levies recommended by the ways and means committee for the various municipal departments are as follows; Fire, 5.05 mills; poUn, MS mills; bonded Indebtedness' interest, 1 mill; lighting, .SO mill; street repair. .40 mill; public liurary,,, .15 mill; park", .45 mill; special bridge, ,.45 mill;, sinking fund, .25 mill.

Representative Sherley of Ken tucky, often styled a progressive Demo crat, and one of the leading minority members leaped into the arena today with a proposal for appropriation ' r' form' and an inctderkal boom for him self as th appropriation expert of the next house. Sherley's proposition embraces the formation of a committee on estimates and expenditures in the house and the announcement of a budget by the party In power, as soon as possible'after con gress convenes. He proposes to makf up the committee of . certain members of the appropriations committee and the chairmen and ranking minority memberf of the various committees that have t( do with the appropriation bills. f- ' When, gherley'a resolution appea'rot it was generally accepted on the floo: of the house as placing the author it the limelight for appointment as chair man Of the appropriations committer Representatives : Fitgerld and SuUe: of New York are both but for the plse and statements and interviews outlinint the attitude on various subjects of botl men are flying thick and fast. ; Sulzo was one of the first 'to come out wit! an indorsement Of the committee or committees proposition, and as he Is in avowed ' candidate1 for speaker, Cham). Clark followed euit Now Suiaer is In line for the appropriations Job and main taining his attitude of willingness be speaker if he can. tierlay it;:.:.. rrojact. Sherley in a statement explaining: his new rule declared It would place the house In a position of close responsibil ity to the people in the matter oi econ omy and would force the announcement of the various propositions proposed be fore they were acted -upon. "Now." he said, "no one can - ten what such appropriations amount to un til the adjournment of congress, and no committee of the holise is in any sense responsible for the aggregate as it Tnay appear. Elierlcy's resolution proposes tnat the estimating, work now . done oy me secretary of the- treasury be done by his newly appointed committee and that it shall "report to the house the amount of revenues probably available for appropriation for. the next nscai year and apportion the amount to the several appropriation bills." "To my mind," said Sherley tonignt, It is humiliating to representatives that they should e dependent on and look to the activities of the president for . a curtailment of government ex penditures. The constitution gave the house of representatives tne exclusive right to originate bills for raising rev enue. As a result of our method of appropriating the money, the house has ceased to effectively consider trie es timates for appropriations. There is never any . real budget debate and all reports of retrenchment are necessarily of a piecemeal character and only aimed at details in separate appropriation bills." , : : Journal Want Ads bring results.

He thinks, ' among ; other tfilnga, .that thft next.two months wlil go,a long way toward deciding who the-.next candi-. dates for - president will be and what it' chances of each for winning are. Speaking of this he said: I ; Present Congressmen Irresponsible. : ''it's early now to-.say'.who the can didates will be, but I. think the actions of the'present congress will help decide. ' It Is to be a short and a very Important" session. - There are many matters of Jmport coming up and the most lmport- ?nt feature of it is that fully one-half of the members of the present congress were not reelected and hence are ubso- lutely lrresponajble. : There is a great temptation ta 'get even with constitu ents athat have failed to reelect one. Talk about government by the people, a I think 'there is no bigger farce than this, situation presents. Here we have a large number of men, with the power Uo pass appropriations that will not be . gin to be expended until three months after they have gone out of office, and .with, absolutely r no responsibility : to anybody.

Here's what ,we want you to do; we, vyant you to get your ,wue (or a girl you intend mak- ing your wife) and come out and buy a couple Morning Side lots. Just a flyer, a sort of a speculation. There is going to be the finest resi dence'district here within a short time of kny in the city of Portland. Tabor Heights, you know, is located on the cast side the same as Portland Heights is orr the west side, and Morning; Side is the cream, of Tabor Heights. Lots ng from $650 to $1500 each, one.of these lots (there are are sel My. about 75 left) is bound to be-' offered at an advance fron? $100 to $300 with in a short time. . , , How do we know? . Portland is increasing its population according to the census report 1 per - cent per annum. All of these new comers must have homes:' The : .west side is full, they must live on : -the east side, and of course 'they will want the cream of the east side property. ; 1 At the same time thev will want their wives and children to live la a district that has the beautiful view that Is located above the fog along side of the new ML Tabor City Park and where there are school houses on both sides of the tract. All right! Then come out right . away ana pick out your iocs. If you don't make from $100 to 1 300 m this proposition we have missed our guess. .
