THE OREGON : DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY. 18. 1812. IRONMASTER BEFORg-THEiSTANLEy,:STEELilNVESTIGATING CQMMinEE JFop Woinnieini2 i City Attorney Grant Holds ,1 ; That ; Appropriation Can , Be Legally Made. CITY MAY PAY FOR .lone City Attorney Frank S. Grant gave sv -formal " opinion today that the cltr . may properly plan for its greater fu ture and ean spend money to tola end. Hla opinion establishes the legality of ' the proposed $8000 appropriation ordin ance which baa paaaed its first and second readings before the city council and will likely come up for third read ing at the next .meeting-. Instead of a few publics spirited cit isona of Portland needing to take from their own pocket $21,040 to pay for - the city plan evolved by Municipal Arch ' Itect E. H. Bennett, Mr. Grant gives It a his opinion that the city might have employed Mr. Bennett in the first place and hare met the entire expense, rather than by appropriating the com ' Taratlvely small amount needed for ''.printing the Bennett report and. placing .'the plan for the "better building of the bigger. city4 In the hands of the citl sena so that a general understanding .. of It jnlght obtain. '.. ' , : . Mr. Grant also says concerning the proposed appointing of a city plan com mission of fire that it should serve In an advisory capacity only. His opinion - follows; -T'"'",t"-,r?T,n """T.." - Mr. rant's Opinion. 'The proposed ordinance," says Mr, Grant, .further provides for the ap pointment of a commission of five clti tens who shall' have the authority to superintend the printing, ' publication and distribution of said plana, and the mayor and auditor are authorised and directed by the provisions of tn ord inance to taaue warrants upon requisl tlons of the chairman and secretary of such commission, . The council, In . my opinion, cannot delegate this authority - to a commission. The printing must be lone under the provisions of the char- . ter, namely, by advertising tor bids and swarding the contract therefor to the lowest responsible bidder. This work . , is done by the executive board upon the authority of the council. I see no legal objection to the appointment of a com mission to act in an advisory capacity 'respecting the printing, publication and distribution of said plana, and 1 would suggest,; If agreeable to the council, : that the ordinance enclosed herewith be submitted In lieu of the ordinance now before the council." . SECOND STRANGE "VISIT" TO A WILDE - JUROR REPORTED (Continued from Page One.) " - carpenter, was being questioned when the noon receas came, and he, gave evi dence of also passing the test. If he does, the first peremptory challenge will be exercised early this afternoon. I t Attorney Bare Clash. ; "Deputy District Attorney Fltigerald end Malarkey clashed this morning over the question of the possible reception of a plea of guilty by Morris as evi ; dence. ' This hai' been" a ' troublesome , question from the first, and the result (ct naif an hour's argument was to bring from J udge Kavansugh an empbatlo declaration that a plea by Morris cannot ' be considered . by the Jury as any . evi dence against Wilde. - "I had understood the attorneys were in accord on this question," said the . court. "I certainly nave understood the . district attorney to say the plea could ; not be regarded as evidence. "There is no .question In my mind as . Ho the law on the subject, and It may 'as well be .understood now that the court will rule the plea Is not evidence." The court's ruling, came after Fits : gerald had declared that a ruling on the . law at this stage of the case Is prema . ture, and after Malarkey bad declared , that It is essential In the examination of Jurors for the r defense to know whether the plea would go .before the . Jury.. :..:..:.,:', "If this is thn'M tit tr h. : said Fltagerald. "we might as well dls . , miss the Jury for a couple of days while me aiiorneys argue me law or the case. ' Then we could thresh It all out This Is not the time to settle law questions. We will ssk the court to rule when evi dence Is offered. Some courts have held that a plea is evidence and some ; have said It la not." Talesman examined. . Malarkey, after reading authorities to support his contention, elicited the rul ing of the court above given and being ( satisfied with It, proceeded with the . examination of the next talesman. - In the examination of La Joie it de veloped he. had read one of the advertise ments inserted by Wilde In the newspa pers, this being a commendatory letter : by Mr. Jabour. Clark supplied a little i humor by following this up and asking If the Juror had read another part of the same advertisement In which Hugh Hume stated that "Portland suffered a great loss when Mr. Wilde left Port land." La Jola said he had not read that , C. D. Ramsdell of 4304 Fortieth ave- ; tine southeast, under examination as to bis qualifications at noon, is a man of family and has lived nine years In Port--. land. He Is a contracting carpenter.

Councilman Dunning yesterday asked the ways and means committee , of the council to do some thing to reimburse the hospital, which has dispensed 16,000 meals within the psst month. councilman Burgard believes mere is a provision In the charter for the re lief of paupers and that city funds can be used for this purpose. If the char ter permits an approppriation will prob ably: be recommended. ' The committee recommended ihe pas sage of an. ordinance provldtng that the city shall take the 6 per cent of the first payments made on all public Im provement work. The city gets the money for engineering services, but heretofore has taken Its share when the final payment on any piece of work has been made. -The committee has become very care ful recently in scrutinizing estimates made by municipal officials. Council man Burgard was at first disposed to hold ' up the estimate of the ;lerk cf the free employment bureau for the coming month, as It Included an item of $25 a month for Janitor service An other Item of tbe estimate was for ad vertisements for laborers. "It looks like .the city could get Us Janitor service as cheap as I can mine," said Mr. Burgard, "It costs ma only $10 a month." The committee referred to City Health Officer C. H. Wheeler a bill for $61 ; for repairs done- on the; health of fice automobile. The machine was dam aged about six weeks ago when Depu ty Health Officer 8. M. Gellert ran It Into a horse and buggy. Dr. Gellert reported that the accident was due to the fact that the driver of the buggy disregarded the city traffic ordinance. to make the, twelfth man on the first psnel. w. ,. . : . '.. - F; E. Jackson was passed by Deputy District 'Attorney Fltigerald for the state after a brief examination this morning, having already been passed for cause by the defense. He Is a commer cial traveler, oloslng Up with the take McFall company the first of the year, and now entering the' employ of the Routledge Seed company. He Jives at Jill Belmont street, has a family, and has' lived In Portland the greater part of $2 years. - j' ' . It developed that Jackson is a cousin by marriage of George Estes, once con nected with the Oregon Trust He said Estes had solicited him for business for the bank about the time Estes went Into It. 'Jackson Is also' a nephew of. Percy Morgan, an, Associated -Press operator, and said Morgan ' consulted him In re gard to taking telephone bonds In settle ment for a deposit In the Oregon Trust He advised Morgan not to take the bonds, he said, but bis advice Was dis regarded. . Jcckson said he had an opinion "some body was guilty of something" In con nection with the affairs of the bank, but no opinion In this particular case. He declared he could disregard every thing except the testimony and instruc tions of the court and was accepted by both sides, for cause. Vol a Cltlsen. ' . M. Tannler, a dairyman and farmer, was excused by the court yesterday afternoon on challenge by the defense, because he holds only bis first cltlien Ship papers. A man In this situation Is not necessarily disqualified, but his removal follows as a matter of course If either side does not want him. After an examination of some length the de fense decided it did not want him, and used the right of challenge. J. A. McArthur answered all questions intelligently and satisfactorily. He was passed by both sides. He has been in Portland two years, engaged In the dry goods business at Woodstock. Formerly he was manager of an electrlo company at The Dalles. He Is a man of family. W. Q. Eaton, an officer of the stats humane society, horse breeder and real estate broker, was likewise passed by ; both sides, despite his Intimate ao - qualn,tance with - many .of those con- ; necteo; witn tne case, lie saiq as nas known T. C. Devlin 12 years or more. and has known Cameron, Fitzgerald, Malarkey and 8. O. Reed for a long time. He said his acquaintance would make no difference whatever to him In the trial of the case. Eaton lives at 73 East Sixteenth street, and la married. He had no dif ficulty In qualifying, declaring he has no opinion as to the guilt of Wilde or of Morris in the present case.
