On the contrary, a new objection raised by . j, b. Ziegler, referred to by Councilman Clyde as "the champion of the common people," was taken up by s. strong rnl- - norlty of the lawmaking body. The ob-, jectlon advanced by Zeigler is that whMe ; the H1H and Harriman railroad compa- ' tiles have agreed among . themselves, their compact does not affect any other " competing system. "'" " - "In; short," declared MrZelglpr, "by passing the Hill franchise, as amended to conform to the agreement between tbe two roads, this council simply gives two 'companies . ft monopoly Instead of ' one.

Counciiman Maguire Files the Most Drastic Regulation Ordinance Ever Submitted, The most radical measure ever drafted for the regulation of th liquor traffic In Portland was filed In the city audi tor's office yesterday by Councilman Maguire. The proposed ordinance. Which will be introduced in the city council next week, absolutely prohibits councilmen from owning or leasing or acting as agents for buildings in which saloons are conducted; it abolishes the free lunch counter, dice games or oth er games of chance in saloons and pro hibits the- maintenance of chairs or other seats therein. Tbe measure further prohibits brew eries from owning, leasing or acting as agents for buildings in which saloons are located. V If the ordinance becomes a law it will prevent any one person from owning more than one saloon license, and will provide" for one and only one entrance to any saloon. These are some of the principal fea tures pf the ordinance, which Council man Maguire expects will meet with the most bitter opposition. He believes, however, that the measure will eventu al ly.be passed. until all railroads are given equal op portunities. Before the council passes the Hill franchises It should require the Hill people to submit a common user clause on tracks that they desire to con struct over a private right of way con necting East Thlrd'street with the com mon user tracks on the new steel bridge. The council, after adopting a number of amendments submitted by the H1U interests to make their proposed fran chise conform to the agreement made with the rival system, decided to 'ad journ until this afternoon before, taking further action. The next step will be to place ft valuation on the franchise and send it to the city auditor for pub lication. , The city executive board has already recommended! that revaluation of IBOO a year be placed on the franchise. Coun cilman Jennings today made a motion to Increase, this, to $1500. but the mo tion was defeated 10 td 4. Councilman Maguire then demanded before tho coun cil should proceed further that the greement between the "two roads be submitted to the council for its con sideration. The officials of the Hiil company expressed themselves as en tirely Willing to show this agreement and toVhave the council go over the Hill franchise section by section.

WOMAN JURY IS BIGGEST ATTRACTION THE MUNICIPAL COURT EVER HAS HAD Wen's Curiosity Is as Great, if Not Greater, Than That of ' the Fair Sex to See How the New Citizens Will Conduct Themselves in Deciding the Case of an Unfortunate Sis ter; Society Women Have Seats Reserved. Curiosity is ' popularly supposed to be a peculiarly feminine characteristic, but the curiosity of. women is as noth ing today to the curiosity of inquisitive "men folks" about town who are won dering what's going to happen this afternoon when Oregon's first woman Jury tries another woman in the police court. ' Marcel lo Bortell Is on trial for main taining a disorderly house. Most of the women who comprise the panel ,from which the jury will be picked are lead ers In society. It Will be the judgment of the society woman upon her unfor tunate sister.' Of course,, there Is curiosity aplenty among the women, too. At 11:46 o'clock this morning,, four fashionably dressed women whirled up to the police station In an electric carriage and inquired for reserved seats. They were Mrs. C. Wil cox, Mrs. B. F. Holman, Miss Failing, and Miss Mary Kern. They also asked to have two other seats reserved for friends who would join them at 8 o'clock. They were assured that all space pos sible would be made in the court room, that the trial would begin at 8:30 o'clock,. and that seats could be held un til 3 o'clock. They told Chief Slover they were going out for lunch, but would return to claim their six seats. Scramble for Seats. Chief Slover, Judge Tazwell and Court Clerk Beutgen have been besieged for reserved seats the last 24 hours. More than half the requests come from men. No seats can be held, but at noon the jail er put his trusties at work carrying chairs from the women's quarters. The jailer i.lso had the trusties sweep and dust the court room Immediately after the morning session. Instead of waiting un til t.ie middle of the afternoon as Is usually done. Shortly after 12 o'clock four other women took front seats In the court room, declaring they would wait there until the case was called at 8:30. Soon after they had seated .them selves, In came two . elderly men and took possession of other front seats.

Chief Slover Inspected the court room at noon, fearing that If crowded to capacity there is danger of the floor collapsing. He will SBk the judge to limit the spectators to seating capacity to prevent accidents. The old building used SB a Jail and courtroom has been rebuilt Inside with supports, but is still in a questionable condition. But the women who have been subpe naed on the Jury panel are not curious. They are entering the case with too much seriousness for that, for they re gard it as a sort of test for all women of their ability to exercise the require ments of citizenship. ' Jurors Take It Seriously. " "I'm very glad to serve," Mrs. I W. Therkelsen, one of the prominent wo men summoned, put It this morning. "I'm anxious to acquaint myself with all the duties of cltisenshlp. "And I think the sooner we begin the better, too, for it's necessary for us to know all the duties that go with citizen ship before wo can exercise it intelli gently. Before very long, I expect the various women's clubs to resolve them selves into civic organizations, and we must know all about such things as jury duty in order that we may teach other women who do not" Ten women have been subpenaed, but the subpenas really are not necessary to Insure their attendance, they made it clear today, because, like Mrs. Therkel sen, they desire- to serve. The subpena for Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway was made honorary, In order that If she does not feel able to attend, it will not be necessary for her to do so. The other women on whom summons have been served are Mrs. W. T. Pangle, Mrs. L. W. Therkelsen, Mrs. A. C. Newlll, Mrs. H. W. Coe. Mrs. Paul C. Bates, Miss Leone Cass Baer, Mrs. O. C. Bortzmeyer, Mrs. A. E. Clark and Mrs. Ida M. Kayser. Mrs. Kayser was subpenaed at her own request From these women six will be drawn for the jury. Deputy City Attorney Sullivan will prosecute the case in behalf of the city this afternoon, and Attorney Farrel) will appear for the defendant The prosecuting witnesses are the arresting polloemen..

Second and Flanders with overhead crossing and a new freight station between Davis and Everett,, near the tecently completed freight station. Conuected with the new freight station will be a driveway and team tracks up Couch street Under the new arrangement between tho rival railroad systems it will be necessary to move the present Harriman passenger station at East First and Morrison streets to the location at Sec ond and Flanoers. 1 Oreat Work Ahead, The construction work of the Hill and Harriman lines will produce tremendous east sid'j activity for many months to come. Preudent Joseph H. Young of the B. P. & 6. announced this morning that the first unit of work in developing their $2,000,000 east side terminal system will be the laying of track franchise rights having been granted on 'Second street between Flanders and Ankeny streets. Then will come the installing of the great terminal system running through eigot and a portion blocks running along Madison from the river to Union ave nue, thence at right angles to Morrison. The freight warehouse will be built at the southwest corner of Union and East Morrison.

Governor West for the state of Oregon, yesterday filed an amplication for an order in the cir cuit court here against County Judge Beatle, requiring him to show cause why an order of arrest 'should not "be issued and why he should not be fined for contempt In disregarding, and with out authority, setting aside, the judg ment of the circuit court , in proceed ings pertaining to "State of Oregon, plaintiff, vs. W. L. Mulvey, defendant" and in the further actton of "Fred Har greaves, administrator, vs. W. L. Mul vey et al, defendants." The litigation dates back to 1908, when the body of a man. supposed to have been T. A. Williamson, was found near Oswego,' but from the condition of the remains, there was ft question as to the identity. The sum of $600 was found on the body. When the matter ' of administration came up. Judge Dlmlck, then county Judge, held the body was not that of Williamson, and Judge Campbe.11, of the circuit court, affirmed the decision of the county Judge. Later, Judge Beatle who succeeded Dlmlck as the county official, held that tho body was that of Williamson, and on that theory, appointed administrators. As the administration was extensive and involved lengthy court procedure, the contempt proceedings instituted against Judge Beatle and the outcome may have considerable bearing, not only on the county court but, also, on the proceedings heretofore had In the dis position of the estate.
