Lending added Interest to the Inter

Improvements by street car and com

Strong rumor circulated today that the
powerful Swift packing Interests are
back of art application made by George
F. Heusner for an lnterurban franchise.
The proposed franchise ordinance was
filed with the city auditor this morning
nd It will be Introduced in tho city
eOuncir tomr.rfow. Th orrt tn ancer a sks
for a 25 year franchise to lay and con
struct tracks over and along the follow
ing streets: From the northern bound
ary of the city along Derby street to
Kllpatrlcft street; thence on Kllpatrick
to Patton avenue; thence on Patton ave
nue to Frescott street; thence on Pres
cott street to Maryland avenue; thence
on Maryland avenue to Kaillng street;
thence on Falling street to Vancouver
e venue; theme on Vancouver avenue to
Broad way; thence across the Broadway
bridge to Seventh street and on Seventh
street to Grnt street.
Tiie total length of the contemplated
line to the city limits would approximate
seven miles, it Ik said, and Its terminus
on Perby street would make it easily
accessible to an lnterurban road that
might be brought into the city over the
proposed interstate bridge across trre
Columbia river.
Such a line would tap n. Heir farming
country on the Washington side of the
river and would be tU cnn-ly valuable
as a feeder line for the parking plant
of the Swifts on the Peninsula. , th
territory-- that would be penetrated by
such a line Is admirably aGapted to tho
business of hog raising.
It Is said that the Interests behind the
proposed line are willing to subscribe
$100. POO toward a. fund for .the con
struction of an Interstate bridge across
the Columbia.
"Whatever the truth of the rumor as
to the lnterurban road may be, tho im
portant fact yet remains that the pro
posed franchise calls for a line wlt-iln
the city limits that Is in itself of con
siderable moment.
It will be interesting to note what ef
fect the application of Heusner will
have on. the apparent apathy of the
Portland Railway. Light & Power com
pany in securing a franchise across the
' Broadway bridge. President Josselya
of the street car company stated sev
eral months ago that his company was
not at all anxious to secure any fran
chise on the Broadway bridge. At that
time, however, hcre was no prospect of
a rival company crossing the span.

People This Fall Will Now Pass

Schools.
(Ralrm Bureau of Toe Journal.)
Salem, Or., July 23. In an opinion
written by Justice McBride, the supreme
court today reversed Judge Galloway of
the Marlon county circuit court In the
University of Oregon referendum case
and dismissed the suits. .This means
that the referendums against the uni
versity appropriations of over $&00,n00
will go on the ballot. Chief Justice
Eakln gave a dissenting opinion, up
holding the decision of the lower court.
This is the first time in his service on
the supreme bench that he has written
a dissenting opinion alone.
The most sensational feature of the
majority-opinion is- the declaration that
the law does not mean It is necessary
to have a copy of the warning and petl
tiorv'on each sheet of the referendum
petition. In his opinion, Justice Mc
Bride says that If sheets are fastened
together and a bunch of them Is at
tached to a copy of the petition, that is
all necessary to make them legal.
The opinion takes cognizance of the
forgeries of the names, as proved In
the trial, and reads a lecture to H. J.
Parkinson for participating in a move
ment which originated out of commu
nity Jealousies, as this did, but the
opinion says after deducting the forged
names enough remain to cause the pe
titions to go on the ballot.
Chief Justice Eakln -says he bases his
dissenting opinion on just one question,
the form of the petition. He holds that
every sheet should contain a copy of
the petition and points out that the l;iw
specifically provides that 20 lines shall
be left in which the signatures of each
sheet must be written In by the circu
lator and sworn to, and says this is
plain' intent to -have the warning and
petition on each sheets ... , v
"This whole act is bristling with pre
cautions against fraud in its use," aays
Justice Eakln, "and this Is the most
Important of them the assurance that
the man who writes his name as one
of the 20 on the sheet signs the pe
tition." '
In the case of E. S. J. McAllister, ap

Seattle, Wash., July 23. That Attor

Is the opinion of many Seattle attorneys
today.
Attorney John H. Terry, who worked
with the' congressional committee here,
declares that men involved with Han

"The resignation of Hanford," said
Perry, "naturally closes the case so far

committee with criminal prost-cutions If
It is Justified by the facts which are

Hanford aVjfirst Issued a statement
saying "ill health" was the cause of his
resignation. In later statements, how

various other reasons were assigned, lie
declared that he was satisfied with the
outcome of the investigation, proud of

enemies he had made.

Hanford's Friends Getting Involved.
That Judse Hanford was induced to
tender his resignation to shut off con

explanation credited here today for his
action.
Just at the time when Hanford and
his defenders were expecting the probe
to be closed the committee made Its
most unexpected move. This move
clearly hit upon a trail which had hith

Would Suspend Sentence;
Defendant Absent,
l:nlteft Prw !.eet Wire
Washington, July 1!3 John Mitchell,
vice president of the American Federa
tion of I,abor, today was sentenced to
nine months In Jail on the charge of
contempt of Justice Wright's court In
which Samuel Compel s .and Frank Mor?
rison also are Involved.
Mitchell was absent when sentence
was pronounced, having waived the rigiit
to appeal Immediately. It was noted
after sentence was pronounced that
Justice Wright offered to suspend sen
tence If Mitchell would promise here
after tn obev th Orders or the Court.
This, (iompers, Mitchell ami Morrison
have already refused to do.
The sentence of Mitchell and ths two
other labor leaders grew out of alleged
contempt of Justice Wrights court
through a conflict proceeding out of
the boycott of the American Federation
of Labor on the Buck Stove and Range
company of St. Louis.

"There Is not another Instance on rec

"However, Judge Wright by his ac
