THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SATURDAY EVENING- FEBRUARY 10, 1912. COUNCIL IS ASKED TO INSERT CLAUSE OFCOIH East Side Merchants Want an Amendment to S. P.'s Fran chise and Erection of Cen tral Freight Warehouse. Urging the amendment of the fan chisea of the Harrlman linea on East Tint, East Becond, East Third and East "Water street by the Insertion of com mon user clause and of a provision requiring- the Southern Paclflo company to erect a centra) freight warehouse in the wholesale business district of the east side, a score of leading merchants of that locality appeared before the street committee of the council yester day afternoon to ask the support of the committee. . Ordinances amending the various fran chises have been introduced by Councllr moil j.iuxn x. guj nu vv iuibim Dtuuivei! These were read ' at yesterday's com mittee meeting; and referred to City At torney Grant for an opinion as to the legality of the proposed amendments. "Conditions have changed, gentlemen, in the past 30 years," declared President Dan Kellaher of the East Side Busi ness Men's club. "and it is now time to pull the cork out of the bottle In which the Harrlman lines have sealed up the business of the east side for three de cades. We are asking for only what la right and fair. Want Common User, "We want the Southern Paqlflc to fret all the business It can, but-we want other lines to have an equal chance. "The old city of East Portland granted the franchise of the company on East Third street. One of the provisions of the franchise was for the erection of a (rreat freight depot. Several years after the grant the company 'slipped one over1 on the council and had the freight house provision cut out of the franchise. We therefore ask now that the franchise be amended again and that the com pany be required to build this ware house and also to grant the privilege of common user to other railroads now in the city and yet to come. "The dock commislon is working hand In hand with us in this campaign to bring competition to the great ware house district of the east side. It is the earnest desire of the commission that the district shall be opened up to all the railroads by the time the dock sys tem Is completed." Refuses to Spot Cars. W. B. McFall Of the Blake-McFall Co., one of the largest wholesale firms of the east side, spoke in behalf of the amendments to the franchises. He and other business men declared that the Southern Pacific is not giving good ser vice, that the company has refused to spot cars shipped by way of other lines and that present conditions are very un satisfactory. C. A. Bigelow said the wholesale im plement business of Portland has grown so fast that this city now ranks fourth in the United States in volume of busi ness transacted. J. B. Zelgler outlined the history of the grants made to the Southern Pacific and declared that the council never had any right to vote away perpetual fran chises to the road. T understand," said Mr. Kellaher. again addressing the committee, "that the So-thern Pacific proposes to ask for a franchise to electrify Its Fourth street line. I would ask at this time that the committee delay consideration of this or an; other franchise until the amendments we propose for the east side lines havo been disposed of." Informally Submitted. Chairman Baker of the committee did not agree to the proposition of Mr. Kel laher. but he said that the committee would grant the east elders a hearing when t'.:e Fourth street franchise comes up for consideration. This franchise, which was Informally submitted to the committee yesterday, will ro before the council next Wednesday and will be re ferred to the city attorney. One of the complaints made against the Southern Pacific yeBterday by ship pers was that the company hauls freight consigned to the east side over the river and that the cars are then switched back at a charge of J 5 per car. Coun cilman McGulre sug-gested that the busi ness men appeal to the state railroad commission. Mr. Kellaher replied that such an appeal had been made, but that the commislon stated It has no Jurisdic tion. ROAD BUILDING WOULD FURNISH WORK FOR NEEDY, ASSERTS WEST (Continued from Page One.) support them. So will others. What we want is the best: we don't care Where from. "Every worklngman, every farmer, t should support the convict labor bills. They, make it Impossible to hire out prison labor In competition with free labor. As governor I have stopped the contract system at the state peniten tiary. But my successor might insti tute It again, unless- the convict labor bills are passed. Convicts at work on the roads t will not be in competition with free labor. The passage of the bills and the building .of roads will provide more work at better wages and get people on the farms." Doesn't Want Magnates. Governor West was applauded when he said, In answer to a question, that he had told the trust magnates of the east that Oregon doesn't want them, that Oregon can carve out her own for tunes. He approved division of the big hold ings In Oregon and added that taxation seemed the only adequate method. "I was made very happy today," safd Governor West to the crowd that blocked the street at the corner of Fourth and Alder. "A lumberman of this city sent a let ter by his attorney saying that If T woud move a camp of convicts to build the road around Rocky Point on the Co lumbia river at the line of division be tween Hood River county and Multno mah county, he would enrff his check for 110,000- to cover the additional ex pense. 1 will, of course, make the ar rangement" The governor said later that the name of the lumberman is 8.

MAN WOULD v 'GO TO BALTIMORE Victor P, Moses of Corvallls. (sjwelil t The Journal.) Corvallls, Or., Feb. 10. Following re quests from prominent Democrats in Douglas. Linn, Benton, Polk, Multno mah and Umatilla counties, Victor P. Moses, county Judge of Benton county and merchant of Corvallls, has filed at Salem his petition for nomination as a delegate to the national Democratic convention to be convened at Baltimore June 19. In his petition to the secretary of state Judge Moses requests that on the official ballots of the Democratic primary, April 19, there shall be printed below his name: ' "In principle progres sive, decidedly Democratic, and always active in its advocacy." of road construction work done by Governor West's honor men. Before he had finished his address to the Central Labor council, Governor West repeated his appeal that organ ised labor work with the commercial organizations In getting the advertising of Oregon on a more truthful basis. A result of the appeal was action by the labor council authorizing the appointing of a committee of 10 to meet with the Commercial club and Chamber of Com merce next Tuesday evening. Gover nor West declared it is an obligation resting upon the people of Oregon to get the state ready for the thousands who will come when the Panama canal Is opened. Then he talked about capital punishment: "Do you know," he queried, "why T am opposed to capital punishment? It's because the poor devil Is always the one to be hung. Did you ever hear of a rich man being hung? I don't want to raise class distinctions but the man with money, no matter how hideous his crime, is able to take advantage of the technicalities and Intricacies of the law and by appeals from one court to another escape the death penalty. Believes in Square Seal, T believe in a square deal to the poor man. When I said there would be no more hangings In Oregon while I am governor I meant it, but I was criti cised. I am not now commuting any sentences. They are reprieves until December IS. 1912. By that time the people will have said whether they be lieve In capital punishment, and if they say so every man with a death sen tence will be hung. "I was told my attitude was tying a rope around a neck to hang me polit ically.' I want to say in answer that I am not a candidate. Neither am I one to ride in the glittering chariot of political success over the crushed souls of those who have fallen through the trap." Governor West said he had refused requisition to bring back from Cali fornia a man accused of over shrewd enss In a horse trade. "I looked at the smallness of the of fense." he said. "When I recalled that I had not been asked to issue requi sitions for the fake bonding companies that recently mulcted the Innocent and unwary of 15,000,000 by selling worth less paper."

Referendum Case Be Prosecuted. Declaring he has evidence of fraud and forgery against six circulators of referendum petitions aimed at the Uni versity of Oregon appropriations, only one of whom has been arrested, H. J. Parkison has addressed a letter to Dis trict Attorney Cameron asking that the facts be placed before the grand Jury and the men prosecuted. This letter bears date of December T, and two grand juries have since that time passed into history. Parkison has had no reply to his letter. He suggested that If the district attorney was too busy to give attenlon to the -matter through himself or one of his deputies, a special prosecutor could be secured without expense. The six circulators named by Parki son are circulators whose petitions were acknowledged bad at the time of the trial of the university referendum case. Defended Circulators. Parkison at that time defended the work of some of the other circulators who had been placed under fire by the Burns detectives and indicted by the grand Jury. , One of these, E. J. Rahles, was acquitted in Judge Morrow's de partment this week after testimony had been produced showing that names he had been accused of forging were gen uine. The Parkison letter to the district at torney reads as follows: "As you are aware, during last March, April and May, I circulated within this county and state referendum petitions against House Bills No. 210 and 211, ap propriating over one-half million dol lars to the University of Oregon. "I employed in the neighborhood of 38 circulators. "Since my return from California on September 15, I have checked over the work of these 38 circulators, and find that six of the men employed by me procured names on their petitions by fraudulent methods. "These facts which I have are ver ified by having the petitions checked over by County Clerk Fields and his deputies. "The procuring or writing in of these fraudulent names was done in this coun ty, and as I understand the law, it is yur official duty to prosecute these persons who perpetrated fraud in this referendum petition. Names Ar Given. "For your Information I will state that the circulators against whom I have ev idence are Harry Goldman, Robert Gold man, Charles Falk, Joseph Gorham, Fred Koch and Harry Coler. "Mr. Coler Is at the present time un der indictment for his work on the ref erendum petition, but the other parties are still at large. "I know the location of some of these parties, and believe that others may be easily located. "As district attorney, I request that you in person, or that you appoint one of your deputies to go over the facts relative to the fraud mentioned above, so that we can present these facts to the grand Jury, thus to secure the In dictment of the above mentioned parties and have them prosecuted for their crime In accordance with the laws of the state of Oregon. "If for any reason, it Is not possible for you to devote the proper amount of time to bring these parties to Justice. I would suggest, as I have before, that you consent to the appointment of cer tain prominent local attorneys as spec ial prosecutors in these cases." FULLER TELLS OF GRAFT CARRIED ON BY HIS ASSOCIATES (Continued from Page One.) ficlals have admitted having affidavits from these patrolmen, that are their chief weapons against Colo and Ballcv. On February 6, 1912; Patrolman G. G. Larfleld made an affidavit before Page in which he said that he was assigned to a beat in South Portland on August 1. 1910, between Columbian and Market streets and that soon after going there, Cole approached him about collecting money from women. Larfleld told Cole he could not go into any such deal, to whlcn Cole replied that others were col lecting money and they might as well do tho same. Larfleld refused at that time, but shortly after Cole explained that the money collected would be In the shape of fines and not for protec tion. With that argument, Larfleld Bald he undertook the affair and for a period of six months collected at the rate of $50 a week which he paid to Cole. At the end of sfx months, Larfleld said, he told Cole he did not wish to do any more collecting, but they forced him to do It The girls paid at the rate of $2 a week, and If they did not pay. Cole would make trouble for them, and plain clothes men would be sent to arrest them. In a day or two after, Larfleld would drop In and see If there was any "loose change." Captain Bailey would come on his beat, he said, and was seen by Larfleld several times in bawdy houses. Klingel Involved. The assertions of the patrolmen wit nesses are said to Involve Patrolman Klingel, who recently sustained a seri ous wound when he engaged In a street fight, and created a sensation by being found in the city when he was sup posed to be on a homestead in Montana. Klingel is said to have been the collec tor from gamblers south of Washington street. Ills presence In Portland when he was supposed to be In Montana Is said' to have been for the purpose -of spying on Mayor Rushlight. Patrolman John Golti is said to have collected from gamblers north of Washington street. Bailey and Cole are said to have divided the money that was secured from what Is commonly known as "par lor houses," which paid $5 a week, and for a time, long enough to get him in their clutches, Larfleld Is said to have pocketed the collections from the "cribs" amounting to $2 per week e"ach. In Patrolman Fuller's affidavit which was made a few days ago, it Is stated that when he was assigned to a beat in South Portland in April, 1910, Cole came to him and told him he. had to make good or "go to the Jungles," and that two or three men had gone because they failed him. Fuller states that he was pulled into the affair because he did not know where to go to register complaints against the administration as Cole gave him to understand that he . (Cole) was merely doing the bidding of the higher ups, in the matter of collecting from women. Fuller states that he was fre quently made offers to allow places to run, but Is said to have accepted only with the understanding . that arrests would be made if necessary. He states that he ordered "Rose," J04K Clay street to olos,, and that a few days FREQUENCY OF RECALL ROUSES TAC0MA WOMEN At j J ,4. X William Seymour, mayor of Tacoma, under recall fire. Tacoma. Feb. 10. The Woman's Educational association, which handled the woman's compaign for the election of Mayor Seymour, now under a recall fire Is now on record not only against the anti-Seymour movement, but for amending the recall itself. The women favor amendments providing that no recall be started without the petition of 60 property owners, that the petitions should bo signed only at the city hall, and that no recalled official should be eligible for any city position within two years. later she opened again, and Fuller was told that she had paid $25 to Larfleld to be allowed to open again. Fuller re ported the affair to Cole and Cole merely said "Did she?" Merely Giving Orders, Be Said. T.a. ivMov Full vr states. Cole told him he was merely glvlner orders that va haA MftAlvnil from hlsrher UDS. When Cole received an intimation that he was cnitr a k tnkin off the South Port land beat he warned several women to close their houses. The "leak" of the Information in the hands of the officials prosecuting this case Is due, it Is said, to Fuller s dis agreement with Cola Fuller begged Cola to plead guilty and save the rest of the men, as the prosecution had the "goods on him," but he spurned the sug gestion and started trouble. Deputy J. H.-Page said this morning: "I don't want Cole to plead guilty, for we have the goods on him, and I be lieve the publlo has a right to know all the conditions. I shall fight this case to the end and will take every precaution to prevent any interruption in the trial." RiSH NATIONALIST I BLUFF John ReAnond Says tho Orangemen Alone Created Disturbance, and That British People Are Tired Qf Repeated 1'hreatenlng. (United Press Inaed Wire. London, Feb. 10. "It was all bluff." This was the way John Redmond, Irish nationalist leader, commented today on threats of the Ulsterites to "rough house" Wlnpton Churchill's home rule meeting In Belfast Thursday. "Of course the -threats failed to ma terialize," continued Ralmond. "You should bear In mind that these threats did not come from the general body of Protestants In Ireland, nor from tho general body of Protestants in Ulster Itself. They came merrly from the Orangemen, a very small but a very noisy minority. "Such threats have so often been re peated thut they have become worth less. The British public, however, has become very tired of them. They have signalized every great change that has been proposed for the benefit of Ireland, whether Catholic emancipation, abolition of the tithes system, extension of the franchise, disestablishment of the church, reform of the land laws or ex tension of self government. The men who make these1 threats have always been the implacable foes of religious toleration and the development of their own country. Kngland would be a na tion of poltroons If.

(Cnttrd Press Leased Wire.) San Francisco, Keo. 10. Abe 'Ruef cannot be compelled to testify against his former client, ex-Mayor Eugfene Schmlts. District Attorney Flckert does not seem to be Inclined to dismiss the Indictments against Ruef. As the latter is the kingpin In the array of evidence against Schmltz, if he cannot be compelled to testify and If he does not do so voluntarily the case against the former mayor on trial under the gas rate bribery indictments is "in a bad way." Such was the opinion in the district attorney's office today. Ruef was clos eted through the morning with Assist ant District Attorney Berry. It was only today that DIstrlot At torney Flckert discovered that he could not compel Ruef to give testimony. He found that the law passed at the last regular session of the legislature did not apply to Ruef. This discovery fol lowed the statement on previous occa sions that it did. The law In question provides that a man may be compelled to give testimony, even though it does involve himself, but that this evidence cannot be used in, any future case against him. The words "hereafter of fending," Flckert holds, exempt Ruef. The statute is not retroactive. Hence the ex-boss Is under the old Btatute which prevents enforced self-lncrlmln-attng testimony. Flckert said today that Ruef was ne gotiating with a view to testifying pro vided the outstanding indictments were dismissed. These stand in the way of the parole he Is seeking. Fickert ad mits that Ruef would probably never be brought to trial under them, but hesi tates to dismiss them. Ruef was further gladdened today by permission from Judge Lawlor to spend Sunday and Monday with his aged mother and his sister at home. Ruef Holds Information High. (United Press Uiwd Wirt. I San Francisco, Feb. 10. "Abe Ruef Is trying to secure as much as he can with as little 'njury to himself as pos sible. He Is as bright as ever." This was the statement made here today by Assistant District Attorney Fred L. Berry, who has been conducting nego tiations with Ruef In relation to Ruef's reward for appearing as a witness in the trial of former Mayor Eugene K. Schmltz, charged with bribery. "Our negotiations are at an end," con tinued Berry. "I will have to take the matter up with District Attorney Flck ert for his decision. For myself I would not trade with Ruef on any proposi tion. Ruef wants complete Immunity from further prosecution before he will even tell what he will testjfy to. He wants all indictments against him quashed.

It will give rise to a disconcerting series of whys. It will permit the prosecution, should Harvey be Indicted for murder, to ask this hypothetical question: What rea son had Harvey, presumably Innocent, for attempting to establish his where abouts on the night of the murder by false statements, if such statements aro proved false? Mysterious Woman Witness. Bubpennos have been Issued for more fhan 40 witnesses to appear against the wealthy Clackamas farmer before the county Inquisitors. Many nave ana win come from Portland. Most of them will tell of Harvey's movements In Portland on the evening of the midnight quad ruple murder. County officers hint that the "party" "woman," the detectives Ray Harvey admits failed to keep an appointment with him at the Woodmen of the World nail inai mgni, is among them. Other witnesses come from Mllwau kle and Ardenwald. Through some the state hopes to prove that Harvey's rep utation was unclean as to his attitude toward women; through others that Harvey, detraining at Ardenwald from the "owl" Interurban from Portland on the night of the murder, waited In the shadow of the station house until other passengers had gone ahead; still through others that Harvey was a vic tim of uncontrollable "physical Im pulses." and further, through others. that Harvey, on his way home, must! have passed rirsi. oy mo caoin irom which the Hill murderer took the ax with which the heads of the four were crushed, and, second, by the Hill cabin at about the time of the crime 12:48 a m.

Roth Sheriff Mass and Detective L. L. Levin gs, of Portland, acting for the state, were mute on this subject. Levlngs' testimony consumed the whole of yesterday. He would not say whether he Introduced unpublished evi dence, or whether he had sought to place before the grand Jury the story of the remarkable series of crimes sur rounding the Harvey family. He be lieved the investigation would stretch over a week's time. Public sentiment here seems to cen sure Justice of the Peace Samson for freeing Harvey of the murder charge at the preliminary hearing. Generally, the opinion seems to prevail that the evi dence placed against Harvey at the ex amination, warranted his being taken to trial. Tom Cowlnr, brother of the murdered Ruth Cowing-HHl, whose shooting at the nurseryman Is said to hare pre cipitated Harvey's arreBt two months ago, has not, if ha has been summoned as a witness, made his appearance.
