MEMBERS OF OLD

RECEIVE GRILLING
Charged With Bad Faith and
:r Obstructive Tactics in No
Regarding Resignations, by
East Side Business Men.
At tbenerttnr of the East Bid Bust
na Men's club last night, a resolu
lion condemning tho old port rommta
Ion for continuing to hold office when
It member had agreed to resign when
sui-crseors wars appointed, waa unanl
mously adopted. In upcaklng to thin
resolution, C A. Blgelow, atate rrpre
aehtatlve, said the old port commlsalon
had Indeed br6ken faith, for, each mem-
ner or it had mxned a statement agree
Ing to resign one at a time aa aoon aa
the legislature should t&ke action and
their auccoaaora ahould on by on be
appointed. Thla agreement be had car
rled In his pocket a week, ha aald, be
fore he had riven It hla aupport, and
the new port law waa then pained wfth
the largest majority given any Impor
tant mjianr rnniMrb1 tir thm llata.
T... ., . -
turc. The contention -of the old port
commission that the new port law1 la
uncenatttutlonal, aald Mr. Blgelow, la
not alncere, because Ita conatltutlonallty
had hn nmieeri unon and confirmed
by eminent lawyers and Attorney Gen
eral Crawford. The resolution which
the Business Men's club adopted con
- talned torn forcible expressions and
reads aa followa:
Bad rith Charred.
"Resolved, that we view with dis
favor the obstructive tactics and evi
dent bad faith of the old board of com
missioner of the Tort of Portland in
refusing to relinquish their throttle hold
of office In favor of the appointees
provided for In an act of the laat leg
islature: and be It further
"Tleaolved. that the standing commit
tee of thla club continue to Investigate
the real cause of aald withholding and
the affiliation of the several members
thereof with the nubile service or prl
vate corporation who have received
benefits at their hands, with authority
to employ counsel In regard to the grant
Ing of a franchise on the new ateel
bridge by aald members of the Port of
Portland commission to the O. R. St N.
Co. and to similar actions of aald
board."
An agreement permitting the old port
commission to continue routine business
and to draw checks In payment of ex
pense was made yesterday by the new
port commission at Its first annual meet
Ing. The agreement waa made, not al-
. together willingly, In order that th
work of the government dredge In deep
ntng the channel at the foot of Swan
island might proceed as contracted for
by the old port commission.
Agrees to Stipulation.
' npn irif? new jhii i i-uiiiiuinmon mm
"yesterday It waa found that Judge
Munly, aa attorney, had already agreed
to the stipulation on behalf of the new
commission. The stipulation had been
drafted by C. E. 8. Wood, counsel of
the old port commJsslon. M. O. Collins
and M. M. Ksterly. members of th new
commission, expressed a fear that to
recognise the power of the old port
commission to make contracts or carry
on IiiifIiipss would at the same time
recognize the old commission's legality
and thus unseat themselves. Judge
Munly gavp assurance that this could
ho averted as the agreement would be
in force only until the controversy be
tTvern the new and old port commissions
had been adjudicated.
As originally drawn, trie agreemen
had ptated that the new port commls
slon would not Interfere with the ol
In attending to Its "routine or husl
neis." Meirhers Collins and Esterly In
slsted that the Insertion of the word
"or" changed the force of the entire
agreement And would permit the old
port commission to continue Ita work
new and old, aa It had done In the old
dnys when there were no criticisms of
It procedure.- The word "or" therefore
was stricken out.

Chicago. 111.. April 7. Many promi
nent members of the National Aaaocla-
tlon of Insuranoe Commissioners were
on hand today at the opening In this
city of a two days' special meeting of
he association. lrnlform legislation and
department rulings are the subjects
up for discussion.
New officers were Installed at the
annual meeting of the Realty Board
held In the Commercial club laat night
and an outline of an aggressive cam
paign for new members waa agreed
upon. City Bulldlne Inspector 11. E.
Plummer discussed the new building
code, pointing out wherein It Is an Im
provement over the old law and aug
aostlng important and necessary amend-
menta. Architect David U Wllllama
criticised the code, and John P. Car
roll discussed the relation of the realty
men to the newspapers.
Building Inspector Plummer defend
ed the new code. He declared that the
old ordinance waa out of date, was de
fective In many respecta and that the
new law cured moat of these defects,
besides Introducing new features and
regulations which would grow In pub
lic favor aa they are better understood.
Williams attacked the code, saylog
that it waa patterned 'sisctly after the,
Cleveland, O., ordinance and 1 wholly
insulted to Portland. '
"Cleveland Is a city with alleys.
Portland' la not,"- aald Mr. Williams.
"A man with Just a little experience
can see that the same building' laws
can not apply to two cities laid out on
a plan so radically different as Port
land and Cleveland."
C. H. Korell. a member of -the realty
board, also attacked the new building
code, declaring that if It could not be
done away with In any other way he
favored Initiating a law for Ita repeal.
Mr. Korell further declared that noth
ing had ever happened In Portland
which had auch a blighting effect upon
the upbuilding of the city aa the oper
ation of the new building pMel
Architect Ernest Kroner stamped the
code with his approval. He said that
It Is far more Important that human j
life be protected by proper building
restrictions than that builders bf apart- I
ment houses and hotels get 15 or 20 I
per cent on their money. 1
Architect A. E. Doyle characterlr.ed ,
most of the apartment housea in Port- j
land as veritable fire traps. He do- j
fended the present building code and
urged the realty board to lend Its am-
slstance In Seeing that the code had a
fair and adequate trial.
Other speakers yere J. 8. Winters I
and N. Vincent Jones. Mr. Winters j
made ah address on tha need of more
apartment houses In Portland and Mr.
Jonos outlined a,plan for regenerating
the Realty Hoard.
