a Portland man, who asks that hia name
be withheld, had been visiting friends
on Taylor 'street Saturday night and
while walking down Taylor street about
11 o'clock passed a man in tbe shadow
of the church at Twelfth and Taylor
streets. ' The thug, noticing that the
pedestrian had but one arm, stopped
and hurried back and said; -
Toil vi got oniy one arm ana I can
whip you, so hold up your hand or I'll
wallop you." . Instead of obeying the
command of the would-be robber, the pe
destrlan, who. although handicapped
with the loss of his left arm, has a kick
in hia right arm that would do credit
to John L himself, struck out at the
highwayman . with' all " his strength,

A COMPROMISE
Architects Hear Objections to
Building Planned on. Mar
. quam Building Site. ' '
Another round In the long drawn-out
bout between the architects for the pro
posed Northwestern Fidelity building on
trie Bite of the old Marquam building
was fought In the office of Mayor Rush
light when City Bulldinf Inspector H.-EL
Plummer, Fire CUier a. v Doweii ana
Battalion Chiefs Young and Halden ex
plained their Objections to tha building
sa planned by the architects, who argued
that the structure needs no binctng for
wind stresses below the sixth floor and
that two fire escapes leading to a nar
row alley, way In the rear of the build
ing are sufficient, Instead of three re
quired by the building code. ' C ' ' ;v i .
Fire Chief Dowell and hla staff were
firm in their demands that one fire es
cape be placed at each end of the build
ing and one in the rear. Building In
spector Plummet was Insistent, too, on
the fire escape feature though be ob-
Jeets to the failure of the architects to
provide what he considers -necessary
bracing for. wind stresscsespectally for
Northwestern, i ' . '
In ordter to erect the buildyng to. a
height of 15 stories it waa necasary for
the builders to procure a special permit
from the city council. This the council,
granted, though Mr. Plummer bellevtja
the "councilmen did not know of ', the
"Jokers" whereby the architects were
permitted to evade code features that
guard the public Interest. y,
R. a Beach, one of the architects,
said yesterday that the wind Stress pro
visions .of the, Portland building cooe
are too severe. He advised Building
Inspector Plummer to read up on kome
of the buildings in New York. r ;
"Why. don't you know, Mr. Flumnter,"
asked Mr, Beach, -that the Singer build
ing in New York city Is not braced for
wind stresses below the fourteenth
story?" , - -
"I am not certain Nhat such Is the
cane, ' replied Mr, .Plummer, "but I do
know that there . has been a radical
departure In New York bulldfng con
struction and one for ihe better, too,
since they cut out pollthL in tholr build
ing department." , ,vv f
" An ordinance has fV introduced at
the suggestion of MrllummepJja-ca,

to the company for tha (erection of the
Northwestern building. Thts has been
referred to the Health and police com
mittee, which will consider the matter
next Friday morning. The meeting In

"Our organisation ' feels it ia abso
lutely necessary . for this work t be
done with ; the -greatest dispatch, and
that settlers be gotten on to the land
