Bishop Paddock, of the eastern Oregon
diocese of the Episcopal church, last

the local Episcopal church. He did not
go into the subject extensively, but

asserted that competition among de

points is undesirable and does not re

When amalgamation is secured, he
said, there will he less starving

Rov. Charles I Quinney of the local

his superior and stated this morning
he could not accept such a union unleR
all other denominations would adopt

"We have union now," he stated. "We

Presiding Judge Oantenbein of the cir
cuit court held this morning in passing
upon the case of the city against the
Inman-Poulaah Laimber company that
the city has the right and title to the
streets now occuple.d by the lumber
concern. This is considered one of the
most lmpo.tant suite started by the city,
and will go to the supreme court, It is
said.
The fight to have the lumber company
acknowledge the city's ownership of the
streets was started during the adminis
tration of ex-Mayor Iane. The present
suit was filed by City Attorney Grant
and Assistant City Attorney Benbow. j
Attorney George Shepherd represented
the lumber company. The company has
used part of the streets for the last 22
years, and' the mill stands on some of
them, while lumber sheds are spread
over others.
Point in Hsue.
One chief point upon which Judge
Oantenbein found in favor of the city
was the set of the lumber company on
January 22, 1908, wherein It filed nine
petitions with the city council for the
vacation of the streets. The court held
this was practically acknowledging the
streets as public thoroughfares. The
company contended thnt the plat con
taining the streets was not properly ac
cepted by the city, and the streets were
not legally dedicated,' in that the state
ment was not made In the proceedings
that the streets were dedicated. In re
gard to this Judge. Gantenbeln ruled:
"Dedication by express words Is not
necessary. If lots and blocks are sold
by the owner with reference to a plat
made by the owner, and such plat Is
recorded, It constitutes irrevocable ded
ication of the streets and alleys, for the
use of the public, and formal acceptance
by the public Is not necessary."
Company's Sid.
'The company contended that it had
expended large sums of money in im
proving the mill and lumber sheds ovet
the streets, and the city permitted this
without protest, and that In view of this
situation the question of equitable estop
pel should be Invoked against the city.
The Judge held that the company is
estopped in claiming any private owner
ship of the streets by reason of the
acceptance of deeds of the property
wherein the property Is expressly de
scribed as being subject to the street
easement: by the execution of mort
gages with the same provision; by the
failure to pay taxes on property In the
streets; by paying special street assess
ments; by making application to the
council, designating the property In dis
pute as streets, and asking to have- them
vacated.
City Attorney Grant says, In his brief
on the case: "The city only desires, at
the present time, that these defendants
recognize ffs street rights by accepting
from the city permltB to occupy the
streets, until such time as the city
Wishes to open them. In the near fu
ture, It Is plain from the sums demand-

Washington. April 10. Not since rush
orders were Issued for American troops
and warships to hasten to the Mexican
frontier has there teen as great Interest
excited as today -when a Mexico City
dispatch confirmed circumstantially
United Press reports which showed that
Japan was the secret foe whose aggres
sions were guarded against by that call
to arms.
That, when a secret treaty with
Japan wss discovered to have been
made by president Diaz, President Taft
gave Mexico Just six days to "back
down," and that the proof of the com-1
pace was nrnugnt to wasnmgion oy
Ambassador Wilson In actual photo
graphs of parts of the secret treaty
were revelations which have canned the
greatest suppressed excitement. Of
course, no department officer will con
firm the statements, and the president's
advisers ar mute. I. it tie doubt Is fx
pressed, however, that the secret story
of President Taft s rornarkahle mobiliza
tion has at last I ei ti fully set forth.
Photographed Treaty.
The Mexico City dispatch, whlcn was
sent to the New York Sun. related In
detail that late In February Ambassador
Wilson for a few hours obtained a copy
of th secret Japanese-Mexican treaty
and that he photographed certain parts
These provided that Japan should
be allowed coaling stations for her com
mercial steamers and that the Japanese
should be permitted to colonize there.
They a.o provided that Japan should
have the privilege' of maneuvering In
Magdalenu bay?
Th clauses Wilson Is said to have
photographed set forth that Mexico and
Jspan had mutual interests In the Pa
cific. They did not stipulate for an of
fensive and defensive alliance, but dip
lomatically stated that It was to Ja
pan's Interest to protect Mexico from
aggression. The treaty had been rati
fied by President Diaz and his cabinet
Mobilization Ordered.
The very day after he obtained his
photographs, the dispatch says, Am
bassador Wilson started for Washing
ton. When he arrived he went direct
to the cabinet room, where President
Taft and his advisers were in session.
General Wood was summoned at ones
and that night the mobilization was or
dered. Next day, the dispatch says. Ambas
sador Wilson went to New York and
delivered a message 'to Mexican Finance

threatened to "take whatever action:
