The crusade against propertr used

" District Attorney Evans under the
pew -abatement law, has already been
. fruitful. The. Portland Building; & In
vestment company, owner of buildings
' at IS and IS H North Fourth street has
already moved its tenants from the
" former place, and Is preparing to oust
- the others. Gus Moser, Abe Davidson
and Carl Friedman are the Incorpora-
- tors of the company.

iready arranged with an auctioneer to

; "undisturbed for a few days that the
, - auction sale of the furniture may be
C iiiade. The owners nave promised tney
' Vrtll clean the place up. and District
'Attorney Evans will hold off prosecu
tion as Jong as tUy show faith In their
promises. .
it Sam Holbrook. agent of the Phllo
tllolbrook estate, which owns 66 and
tt North Fourth . street, haa also
asked time in which to arrange for the
' ousting of the tenants. District Attor
ftay Evans said he would give reason-
' "able time, and If the owners cannot ac
complish the change that he will aid
them by going ahead with the suit
" v .Tare Batta rUed. .
' Three suits have been filed already
and several mora are being prepared.
The suits are being brought under a law
passed by the last legislature, which
; provides for reaching owners of prop-
rty used for tramoral 'purposes, and
prescribes a method of procedure which
, make possible the closing of houses so
, used. - Instead of criminal prosecution
' before a Jury with iU long waits, the
' law provides for an Injunction prohibit
. ing the use of the property unless a
eavy bond Is given, that it will not be
immorally occupied. ' '
' -: The law provides that records of the
municipal court and common fame ahall
be sufficient evidence, and eliminates
' the necessity of proving that owners of
'.. the property had previous knowledge
of tha purpose, for whioh the property
was used. For violation of the lnjuno
. tlon provision Is made that the vlo
, la tor be In contempt of court, and a
heavy fine and, imprisonment may be
. imposed. . '"!-. ' '..

As a penalty to the lessee of the
property found to be a nuisance under
this law it Is provided that the fur
nishings, mu ileal Instruments and all,
" contents of buildings so used may be
' confiscated and the proceeds of the sale i
of this property be used to pay tha ex
penses of the trial. Should the money
- realised more than pay these expenses,
the surplus goes to the defendant own

More Crosstown Lines;
At the meeting of the North' Alblni
Improvement olub Monday night a res
olution was unanimously adopted fa'
vorlng the proposed ordinance of Com'
missioner Will H. Daly requiring .the
Portland Railway. Light and POwer
eomDanyNU sell six car tickets for
cents. The resolution also recommended
that the company be required to veil 8
tickets for 25 cents to worklngmen, to
be used during the rush hours morning
and evening.
A resolution was adopted favoring me
extension of cross-town car lines
throughout the east aide. The resolu
tion urged that all oross-town'car lines
be extended 'to connect with Killings-
worth avenue on the south. A special
committee, of whloli Walter Dyer la
chairman, was appointed to cooperate
with similar committees from other east
side clubs In the agitation for cross-
town lines. These committees, which
will number, more than 100 east side
business men, will ask for a hearing be
fore the city commission before the pe
tition of the P. R. I A P. Co. for a
franchise on East Twenty-eighth street,
Is acted upon. The east side people will
attempt to have the route of the crone
town line changed from East Twenty
eighth to East Thirty-third street
A' resolution was adopted favoring the
building of the municipal auditorium on
the east side, preferably at the corner
of Bolladay and Grand avenues. This
site is being urged by the East Side
Business Men's club.
X M. Lepper, president of the Great
er East 81de United Improvement Clubs
association spoke at length in favor
Of c roes-town car Unas. He said that
Inasmuch as cross-town lines were nec
essary to tha growth and development
ef the east side, the street railway oom-
pany should be compelled to ouwa tnem
where they would do the greatest
amount of good to the largest number
of people. In talking for a municipal
lighting plant Mr. Lspper thought that
almost enough power could be obtained
from the Mt Tabor reservoir to supply
the city with all the necessary lighting.
Several other east aide Improvements
were) dismissed but no definite aotlon
was taken. A large number of delegates
from east side clubs were present to
promise cooperation In any of the east
side Improvements wnion should oe un
dertaken.

which to base them. The three which

Bar Association Committee
Writes Letter Urging Sup
port of Chamberlain's Bill.
"Within a few days the presidents of
the bar' associations of all the states of
the west in which the "double fge" sys
tem prevails in the federal courts will
have in hand letters which are sent out
by the special committee of tfie Oregon
Bar association urging concerted action
In aupport of Senator Chamberlain's bill
in 'congresa reducing; tho fees.
The special committee has been woric-
lng quietly for many weeks and lately
haa gathered much Important informa
tion which will be embodied In a report
to the State Bar association when it
meets this fall. Believing that the as
sociations of other stateB might toke up.
the question llkewlae and securo more
Immediate premium upon congress, the
committee prepared the letter, which is
as follows:
Text of tetter Sent.
"The Oregon Bar association, st a
meeting; some time ago, appointed a
committee on expense of federal ap
peals and costs. This committee, of
which T am chairman. Is conducting an
extensive investigation and has amassed
considerable data on the subject.
'It has found" a fee system In force
which makes It very difficult and bur
den some for one In even moderate cir
cumstances to protect his rights In tho
federal courts, it has found a relic or
pioneer days when travel was difficult
and the amount of litigation insignifi
cant, a 'double fee aystem remaining
In a few western states which helps to
make the expense of federal proceedings
extremely burdensome and In some
cases almost prohibitive. It has found
charges, In many cases, entirely out of
proportion ' to the services rendered and
some for which no appreciable service is
rendered.
Attention Directed to BUI.
"Senator Chamberlain has lust Intro
duced in tb senate a bill reducing very
materially the fees to be exacted In
federal cases. Our association does not
meet until fall and no report can be
made by our committee and no official
aoUon can be taken by the association
until that time. However, you are.1 no
doubt, familiar with the system in gen
eral ana especially with the 'doublo
fee' feature under which a few of our
states stUl hav to work. We are ac
cordingly taking- the liberty of bring-'
lng the matter to your attention now In
order that you may the sooner take such
action as you deem wise In regard to
It
OosdiUona Should Be Changed.
We think that conditions which tend
to deny access to tha United States
courts to a large number of United
States citizens should be changed at
once. We believe that Senator Cham
berlaln's bill, if it becomes a law, wlU
aia very materially in changing them.
"Those of th western states still un
der the 'double fee' system are espec
ially Interested In this legislation. At
best, reforms la matters of this sort
are slow enough. We would, therefore.
respectfully recommend that you look
Into the situation carefully, and if you
see It as we do, urge upon your repre
sentatives In oongress that speedy ao
tlon be taken.
"If we can cooperate with you In any
way, by furnishing information or oth
erwise, In furthering this legislation,
we shall bs very glad Indeed to do so.
-Yours very truly,
. "JOSEPH N. TEAL, Chairman."
In attacking the federal fee system,
the Oregon Bar assoolaUon hopes to
accomplish as' a body what Individuals
have been vainly trying to accomplish
for years. The report will cite specific
cases of the Injustice of the system in
vogue In Oregon and other districts and
some will show how litigants, winning
their causa in the trial court, have been
defeated on appeal simply because they
lacked the money for costs to secure
standing In fhe appellate tribunal
Mr. Teal said this morning that the
committee la busy in preparing further
data to be embodied In the report As
to the recommendations for remedy, he
said the Chamberlain bill would offer
much Immediate relief. Possible
changes in court procedure to make
litigation less complicated and so far
less costly may also be urged.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
Portland Institution Is Husky
Youngster and Getting
Larger Rapidly,
The Portland postal Havings bank
was Just 23 months old Monday, and It
is a husky commercial infant. On that
day the deposits in the bank totaled
1807,304. This does not represent the
total that has been deposited In the
bank during the 23 months, which runs
into millions. The $307,304 was the fund
actually In the hands of the government
on Monday. At the rate of lncreaae
that has been made lately, officials of
the bank predict that the million dollar
deposit mark will be reached by June
1 of next year.
The performance of the bank is tha
more remarkable because of tha fact
that the deposits necessarily must be
small. The postal savings statute for
bids the depositing of more. than $100 at
any one time or of anyone having on
hand more than $500. If all who want
to were allowed to deposit, the million
dollar mark would bs reached very
quickly.
On Monday five pnrsons applied with
large sums to deposit and were rejected.
All wanted to put away for safe keeping
more than J 500. One man wanted to
deposit $4600.
