THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1010. E CMGED Lull U ::cci:ticn Will Consider cd Legislation.. Further discussion of legislation to be recommended at the coming session of the legislature and the appointment ct & committee to Investigate charges of unprofessional conduct against Harry Yanclnrich are subjects to come before the regular meeting of the Multnomah Bar association tonight It Is expected there will be discussion of the Jury amendment which has been so prolific of talk, and that suggestions will be made from the legislative com mittee on questions It has in hand. One thing likely to be recommended la a commission to consider a thorough re vision of the Judicial system, of the state. A. E. Clark, chairman of the legislative committee, advocated this at the last meeting and it met with much favor. - - - -. Mr. Clark believes the appointment of such a commission should be placed In the hands of the governor and a year er more allowed In which to report a bill to be submitted under the Initia tive at the next election. Ha thinks the commission should be composed of half lawyers and half laymen and fuH op portunity given for discussion through, out the state. i The time is too short for such a task to be undertaken by the ietfslature Itself, he holds. Mr. Tanckwich, who waa recently ar rested on a charge of larceny by bailee and discharged after a hearing before Justice Bell, has asked the Bar asso ciation, to name a committee to inves tigate the charges. He is seeking a vindication as to his conduct from fel low members of the bar. COUNCILMEN'UNE UP FOR FIGHT ON HARRI MAN ROAD (Continued From Page One.) He contends that the railroad has ob talned no permission from the city or any other authorized agency to build Its bridge; also that the foot of Glisan street is city property quietly preempted by the railroad. , Councilman Rushlight today reiter ated his determination not to resign from the council to go to the legislature, because he believes that If ha dnM h Harrlman Interests will find means oft ruling his place with a man favorable to their interest While the O. R. & N. company has re ceded from Its desire to obtain the vaca tions or portions of east side streets, Uushlight says he has seen no evidence of any intention ou the part of the rail road to give up demands for franchises covering other concessions which he thinks are improper.; "I will go to the council tomorrow de termined to kill those franchises If I can," he said today. With these and other matters involv ing important interests and publio pol icy the last council meeting of the old year promises to be busy and exciting. Peopls Have Advantage. Many answer the question "which la victor in the fight, city or railroad com pany" by declaring that for the first Ume In the City's history the advantage Is with the people. The vacation of streets has been defeated. The endless and secret negotiations: between city and railroad, it is pointed out, have, had no re sult beneficial to the railroad, and are about to be concluded. The vacating of public property, they say, has been es tablished as bad policy. It 1 also asserted that the confusion of issues,, the oause of which Is vari ously placed, has been ended, and the merits of each put In clear light The long contested east side Vacations were not permitted to become a part ofithe Broadway bridge deal, and the people's need and anxiety . for the - Broadway bridge was not used effectually, It is said, as a lever- to pry publio. sentiment into a position favorable to the vaca tions. The park property In South Port land, at Is said, too, has been made a separate Issue. Its real value has been shown less than the railroad's $3000 an acre appraisement, and the propriety of having the park board and not the bridge committee take steps toward securing it, if It shall be determined desirable, has been emphasised. The right of way for a sewer in Sullivan's gulch and for an east side boulevard have also been referred each to its proper department of the city government . , . ject was one of tremendous Importance. But seacoast fortifications, unless we have a reasonably mobile force to sup- plement them, are largely useless We must have a mobile force nearby to pre vent the position the coast defenses cover,' from being turned by land forces endeavoring to seize them from the rear.". ' - ,- -' General Wood urged the adoption of the bill prepared by Congressman Hob son providing ; for a "council of de fense." v.- -., "At present. In the matter of study Ing defense, .we are absolutely In the air," said the general. "I believe If we had a council to consider such matters and with certain - powers to act, we could' strip off unnecessary things and come right down to a matter of men, guns, powder and shot," BLACK HAND MAN AND WOMAN GET .

The merchants' patrol last night dou bled its guards in the manufacturing district on the east side, and as many officers from the regular force as could be spared were detailed to this section of the city. This double guard, It is stated, will be maintained Indefinitely. The work of clearing the debris at the Llewellyn plant was begun yester day, but it will probaby be late thla week 'before the work of reconstruction can be started. A temporary office has been established adjoining the plant. WOOD PLEADS FOR LAND FORCES AND ' 7 BOARD OVER THEM ' (Continued from Page One.) volunteers killed In battle, but we buried 4000 men who died of disease.! , The field artillery at present avail able is totally Inadequate, the commit tee was told, and its supplies limited so that the force as no w organised would. oe -practically useless. " "If we were called to arms tomon row," General Wood testified, "we would be practically without field artillery and artillery ammunition. , .: Coast Defenses Hot Sufficient MAa far as the seacoast goes, I feel that we are well fortified. X do not be lieve that foreign fleets would attempt to sail Into any port In the face of the seacoast fortifications, unless the ob structed by the kidnapers. The police arrested the pair as they were about to seize the money. , ; Judge Fawcett sharply arraigned the two prisoners as he passed sentence. " - "It is almost unbelievable that you could have held two brokenhearted stolen children for 20 days, knowing that their parents were also Buffering during thla tune," said the court when imposing sentence on the woman. "Ton have no spirit , or Instinct of mother love. It Is stronger ta beasts and birds than to you." - ; . yv Turalng to Pattens the Judge con tinued: ; .,. r : "Tou are the brains,' the leader, the acknowledged king of the black hand society.

"Criminals of your type should never have been permitted to land in this country. I regret that the law does not permit the death penalty for - such crimes.' CAPTAIN W. C. NORTH TAKES DIVE, LANDING HEAD FIRST ON GROUND "Captain" W. a North, the wit 4 of the city assessor's office. Is e spending an enforced vacation at t his home on Garfield street, fol- ; lowing an involuntary high dive, 'j 4 4 in the progress of which be sub- 1 4 4 talned a badly wrenched ankle.' 4 4 . ' The deputy assessor recently " 4 4 'acquired an automobile and ha - 4 4 : decided to use some of his spar 4 4 time Christmas morning In build- 4 4 ing a garage. While putting; the t4 4 finishing 'touches on the roof 4 4 "Cap" slipped and caught . his 4 4 foot between the Joists near the 4 4 eaves.

'4 M TO CLEISTHS Government Forest Service and State', Health Board ' Try to Prevent Pollution. The government .forest service will co-operate - with the state board of health . In preventing . pollution of streams in Oregon. Dr. Calvin a White, state health officer, received a message today from George C Cecil, associate district forester, saying that 4009 no tices calling attention to penalties im posed for pollution of streams would be posted at places where campers would most surely , i see . them. The promise came in response to an effort made by Dr.. White to secure enforce ment of the stream pollution laws. : According to Dr. White, the streams of Oregon have been jolsoned. Running water bears typhoid many miles. Im purities make the streams Unfit - to bathe In, fish are rendered unfit for food, and water dangerous to drink. Lack of enforsement of stream pollu tion laws, he declares, cause typhoid epidemics reported first from one Ore gon town then from another. Poison ing of streams has made the water supply problems of every city that does not depend upon mountain springs ex tremely serious, says Dr. White. Where water is taken from rivers or smaller streams sickness breaks out and deaths follow. . -, ANNUITY OF $1000 TO WIDOW OF JOHNSTONE; 'SETTLED BY WRIGHTS . ' ,.";-;: Dayton, Ohio, ' Dec. 87-A.n annuity of 11000 for Ralph Johnstone's widow was settled today by the Wright broth ers, for whom the aviator was working when he met death in Denver a few weeks ago. Johnstone Is said to hava been Very popular with his employers. Although he won many prises and at the time of his death was the holder ef the world's record, Johnstone is be lieved to have died without leaving any large amount of money. . - mm ml HELP RIVEliS BILL Judga Carey Says Waterways Meeting Did Good Work , . for. Oregon. ... udge Charles H. Carey, delegate from the state of Oregon to the National Waterways congress at Washington, D. C, has returned and is well pleased with the outlook for a good substantial appropriation for the Oregon projects. During his absence from Portland, Judge Carey visited a number of . the large commercial centers of the east and mid file states. - V .,- "I went east as a delegate to - the waterways convention,'! said Judge Carey today, "It was a notable gather ing of nearly 6000 delegates, represent ing every section of the country. The object was to stimulate the interest of congress In an annual rivers and harbors appropriation bill. There was no advo cacy of any particular project by the convention, but the Oregon delegates did What they could, to support the recom mendations of the united States engi neers for appropriations for the Im provements needed in this state. We left with full confidence that our time was well Spent, and that good results would follow, -i Business Is Good. "I was in New York and Chicago.' as well as In Washington. The Weather was cold, but not excessively so. Busi ness seemed prosperous. There was gen eral Interest manifested In' Portland and the Pacific northwest, and the railroads are expecting a great rush, of : home Seekers to this i locality In the - spring. The San Francisco people were active in pushing the claims of their city for the Panama canal exposition. I met Gov ernor Gillett and other Callfornians who were there to help the plan. But New Orleans is nearer the great centers and has close business and social connec tions, so that San Francisco will have a hard fight ts get congress to commit itself to the coast project in preference to the one on the "gulf, , ..
