5 After a three hour conference with
Mayor Rushlight, City Attorney Grant
and memberi of the street committee of
the city eecutlve board yesterday after
, noon, President Josselyn. of the Port
land Railway Light & Power company
was unable to arrive at any agreement
. tvlth the city officials a to the 'proper
valuation of the proposed "stub end
franchise of the company. As a con
equencethe franchise will hot be val
ued by the executive board until after
an amendment providing ror street car
toll on all the city bridges can De bud
mitted to the people at a special dec
tlon this fall.
- This amendment, which was suggest'
. . ed by Mayor Rushlight, meets with the
approval of the city omciais ana mo
comDnnv reDresentatlves as well. , It
provides that for each car crossing any
brldsa In the city the company snail
i ria'v s. toll of three cents. If the amend
ment should be adopted, as it likely will
. be. the city will receive $18,000 a year
more than it does under the present ar
rangement, whereby it pays a flat rate
of 1750 a month for the use or tne Burn
aide bridge, a rrflnlmum of $1000 i
- month on the Morrison bridge and only
1100 a month for the use of the Haw-
, thorne bridge.
Claimed Old franchise.
- This bridge, which was built but re
cently. has been the subject of a bitter
. controversy between the city and the
company. When it was authorized the
company claimed that Us franchise on
the old bridge had 10 years to run yet
" en the new upan. The old franchise
provided for an annual rental of $1200,
The amendment creating the bond ls
ue for the new viaduct provides )r
the payment of a toll of 6 cents a car
and a minimum rental- or Jis.ooo
year, which the company nas nitherto
failed to pay. The city brought suit to
eompel the company to comply with the
terms of the popular amendment. Judge
Gantenbeln decided the suit favorably
to the city, but the company appealed
oi he sta t e supre me court. Pres I dent
joeselyn yesterday tnid the mayor bin
company would fight thn case on
through the supremo, court of the Unit
d States If necepsary.
According to the agreement reached
yesterday. thi company consents to per
mlt its application for the "stub end"
franchise to remain In Ktatuo quo until
after the compromise agreement sug
gested by the mayor can be passed upon
by the people.
Meanwhile the rompany will con
tlnue to operate the Sandy Road and
Mllwaukle street extensions under the
terms of a franchise which the company
claims It- got from the county and
claims It still ha.s, though the city at
torney holds that the franchise lapsed
when the city took over those thorough
fares.
Extension "Up In Air."
The company will also continue to
operate the Woodlawn extension and
other extensions for which revocable"
permits have already been maintained.
This leaves the proposed Mt. Tabor ex
tension, "up in the air," but if the peo
pie oft that -section are sufficiently In
terested they can obtain franchises in
their own- names. These could be on
erated by the street car company Just re
the EastmorelAnd, Beaumont,' Kings
neignia and oiner private franchises
are operated.
As to the proposed line on East Har
rison street, that presents a somewhat
different problem. Even 1f the- compa
ny were willing to take that franchise,
lt. could.not do o. for the reason that
the franchise contemplates a rlcht of
way through Ladd squares, which were
cronareorTfr me pa i-Tc board for park pur
poses only. Before a street car line
could be put through the squares, con
sent of the donors would have to be ob
tained. ;e"
"mp Plttock" will be the official
Bams of the headquarters of the Wel
come Squad during the convention next
reek. The camp will be fitted up
this morning In true military style
with several conical tents for the rank
ni file, and four big wall tents for
the officers, on the north end of the
H. I Plttock block, In Stark atrect
at Tenth.
As the Welcome Squad will be on al
most constant duty in meeting and
escorting each Tislting delegation, its
members will camp on the block all
through the week. Tney will sleep In
the tenta, ready to be routed out at
any time of the night, and will have
ft military camp In almost ererythlng
exoept that with' ao many hotels- and
restaurants nearby, they won't have
to put up with camp fare.
Colonel C. B. McDonnell la in com
mand of the Welcome Squad. Colonel
McDonnell has had three soldiers de
tailed from the Third regiment. O. N.
O., to stand sentry duty over the camp
in shifts of eight hours each. This Is
done not because an attack is feared
but to prevent possible looting of the
tenta in the absence of the squad.

Anchored in the stream off the North
Bank dock and presenting the appear
ance of a huge hedgehog, with a lot of
broomsticks .standing up -around heri
the steam schooner Shna-Tak, Captain
Kloee, is unable to proceed to Seattle
thla morning with Alaska freight for the
IS. J. Dodge Steamship company because
of a collision that she had last night
with a raft in tow' of the steamer F. B.
Jones.
The extent of the damage done to the
steamer could not be learned this morn
ing but a diver has been secured and
an effort made this afternoon to cut the
logs clear. From what could be seen
this morning the chains holding the
boomsticks together are wrapped around
the Shna-Tak'a propeller and the sticks
still fastened to them are sticking
straight up around tne stern of the
craft.
Acoordlng to the report of the officers
of the craft made to the harbor police
this morning, the Shna-Yak was being
taken to sea from the old Weldler dock
at about 10 last night, bound for Seat
tle, where the steamer St. Helena was
to take the cargo on the Shna-Tak that
is to go to Alaska, '
The officers of the steamer stated to
the pedice that as they were casting off
their moorings the steamer F, B; Jones,
belonging t6 the Willamette & Colum
bia Towing company, came along on her
way down the river, and according to
them they blew the proper signal, then
backed out Into the stream. The col
lision with the raft came almost Imme
diately, it being claimed that there were
no lights on the latter. '
Norman Titus, local agent for the E.
J. Dodge Steamship company, said ihls
morning that If it is found that he pro
peller is damaged or that the shaft Is
strained or any other damage done so
mat tne bhna-Yak cannot go to sea im
mediately, the freight will probably be
taken off on barges and transferred to
the railroad, aa It Is Important that it
should reaelv 8eattl In time for It to
catch the steamer St. Helens before she
sails Monday for the north.
The shipment of freight consists of
200 tons brought from San Francisco
along with other freight destined for
Portland. It Is considered possible that
the steamer may have been damaged
sufficiently to make it necessary for
her to go on the drydock for examina
tion. 8TR. RELIEF ON RUN

Representative Burleson Avers
Roosevelt's Plan Must
. Fail.
(Doited Prr tSMed Win.) '
Washington. July . Characterising
Colonel Roosevelt as a "man without a
party," who Is "sttemptlng to cut a
path Into American politics for his third
party" by "petty criticism of the candi
dates selected by the Democratlo con
vention," Representative Burleson of
Texas today replied to the charges
Roosevelt made at Oyster Bay yester
day. "There Is no room for a third party
In this campaign," Burleson declared.
"Mr. Roosevelt realizes that fact aa the
greatest Impediment before hlra In his
new organization scheme. He Is analyst
Jng the platforms and policies of the
Republican and Democratlo parties now
in an energetic endeavor to discover
some flaw upon which he can build a
foundation for a third party. He la at
tempting the Impossible."
Discussing Roosevelt's assertions that
Governor Wilson was a free trade expo
nent, Burleson declared:
"Wilson's views on the tariff are re
flected in the Democratlo platform, and
he will advocate those views In the
campaign. He will carry them Into ef
fect If elected, and Mr. Roosevelt knows
that. Mr. Wilson will go before the
country on the platform adopted by the
convention, and he will conduct a con
vincing campaign because every plank
expresses his sentiments as clearly as
though If had been written by his hand.
"Colonel Roosevelt advocates the re
peal of the Sherroan law. That la a new
,and fitting move for his third party.
His supporters, E. H. Gary of the steel
trust. George W. Perkins of the Morgan
syndicate, Medlll McCormlck of the har
vester trust, and othera who dominate
the, great Industries of the United
States are also in favor of the repeal of

DOORS OPEN ALL NIGHT
Chief of police Blover this morning
Issued several ordera to correct im
pressions that have gained considerable
headway. Salqons-wUl close and open
at' the usual hours. Word haa been
passed around among saloon men that
they would be allowed to keep open all
night.
The chief also made It very plain that
fortune tellers and palmists, many of
whom are flocking to the city, will not
be made welcome, and haa ordered ar
rests of all offenders.
An order was also Issued to the ef
fect that the police were to consider
that driving an automobile more than
10 miles an hour In the clfy fire limits
and over 15 mUes within the city limits
outside the fire limits is considered a
violation of the city odlnance covering
speeding. As the stae law provides a
limit of 25 miles an hour, local autolsts
have fought the police when arrested
for making less time, but due to a rul
ing of Judge Tarwell that any speed
greater than those mentioned above Is
a violation of the ordinance aaalnst
wreckless driving.

TEXAN SAYS THIRD
PARTY IMPOSSIBLE
SALOONS NOT TO KEEP
(United frm Leaned Wirt.)
Seattle, Wash., July 6. Ten char
acter witnesses were called in the
HanXord . impeachment .Investigation
this morning, who testified that they
had never seen Judge C. H, Hanford
drunk. They attributed his appearance
of napping "upon the bench as merely a
habit They said that the judge at all
times, though closing his eyes and seem
ing to sleep, paid strict attention.
Those who testified were: Jesse A,
Frye, former United States district at
torney; Fred M. Lathe, deputy United
States marshal; C. V. Teaton, E. C. Kll
bourne bailiffs; John Stringer, deputy
sfteriff; Colonel Henry Landes of Port
Townsend; B. C. McDonald, assistant
district attorney In Spokane; Will H.
Thompson, former western counsel for
the Great Northern railway; Dudley G.
Wooten, attorney, and Dean John T.
Condon of the state university law
school.
The direct charge that certain in
terests of 8eattle are attempting to
hamper the congressional committee
Investigating the Impeachment charges
against Judge Hanford waa made by
Congressman McCoy from the bench
late yesterday afternoon.
McCoy's accusation resulted from the
testimony given by Charles IT. Peterson,
a timber land owner. Peterson testified
he had seen Judge Hanford drunk on
several occaslona, and related three In
particular. He was corroborated aa to
one of these occaslona by W. H. Hyatt,
a barber.
Peterson then stated that he had given
his Information unwillingly to Chair
man Graham and Congressmsn McCoy
tho night before.
"I told the committee," testified Pe
terson, "that we had enough business
men in Seattle, whose testimony would
De ot more weight than mine, who could
give the same evidence aa I. There is
not a member of the Rainlex club, I
said, but knows that Judge Hanford has
been drunk time and time again."
McCoy brought out the fact that Pe
terson was finally induced to testify
after he had been told that both busi
ness men and lawyers had shown
marked unwillingness or fear to testify
for some reason.
E. C. Hughes, one of Hanford's coun
sel, wanted this part of the testimony
stricken out It was an affront to the
people of Seattle, he said, that thla In
dictment against their honesty should
be allowed in the records.
McCoy then made his dlreot accusa
tion. "At leaat one member of a busi
ness men's association." he said, "had
conferred with all the members of the
committee about excessive receivership
matters cliarged against Judge Hanford.
Complaint had also been made by a
speaker at a public dinner of this asso
ciation. The association, or a commit
tee, got togethes, and it waa practically
arranged to employ an attorney to col
lect the evidence to present to this com
mittee. Then a Mr. Goldsmith appeared.
He made a speech. I will not say
what he is alleged to have said, but the
former action was reversed and the
association dropped the matter."
