SEPARATE BIDS FOR LIGHTING
Commissioner Plans to Divide C?ty
Into Three Districts.
Instead of ha-ving lighting companies
kid en lighting the entire city as at
present Will H. Paly, commissioner of
public utilities, plans to aegregate the
City Into three districts. It is believed
hat considerable can be saved in cost
under the new plan.
Separate bida are to be received for
the lighting of the entire city, llghttnr
ef the buildings, the west side, the east
ide, parts of the incandescent and parts
ef tha arc lamp system. Commissioner
Paly states that by dividing the city
and having companies bid on certain
portions, competition may be had and
the cost reduced.
May Be Built to Oregon
From Portland.
Residents of Oregon City are clam
oring for Bull Run water and it la
probable that they will get it, as this
morning the city council authorized
Commissioner Daly to negotiate with
them for the building of a line from
Portland to that town. Mr. Daly says
that there are several millions of gal
lona of water going to waate daily
which can not be utilized, aa there is
an insufficient number of cipes to carry
It. Ha states that Oregon City might
as welt have this water and Portland
receive a revenue from it. The other
commissioners agreed with him.
MUSIC COMMITTKE TO MEET
Commissioner Brewster Will Discuss
Subject of Winter Concerts.
The commltte appointed to make
plans for the holding of winter concert
in the temporary (Gipsy Smith) audi
torlum will meet with Commissioner
Brewster in tho city hall at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. At that time defl
nlte plans for the holding of such af
fairs will be worked out aa will arrange
ments for th next summer's outdoor
band concerts.
THTSICIAN AWARDED DAMAGES
Automobile Was Smashed Taking
Policemen to Supposed Riot.
For damages to his sutomobile
mashed at Kront and B'urnside streets
August it, when taking three patrolmen
to the scene of a supposed riot, Dr. A.
,T. Teildlng will receive -about $147.45.
Before' the bill is paid it will be gone
over by the municipal purchasing agent,
however.
The accident occurred when Dr.
. Yielding turned around the left side of
ft streetcar. In an endeavor to get out
of the way of another car coming
towards him the ' automobile struck a
lamp post and was wrecked, injuring
fatrolman Wellbrook and throwing Pa-
Amublance Speed Regulation.
An ordinance will probably ha
drafted requiring ambulances to regu
late their speed over the streets and
preventing the driver from using the
irena even in casea of emergency. The
question came up for considerable dis
cussion by the members of the coun
cil this morning and all favored some
aort of legislation to do away with
the noise.
Will Remove ' Repair Shops.
The repair shops of the water and
street cleaning departments will, be
ginning today, be moved to the munici
pal building at East First and Madison
streets. All of the repair shops will
be housed in the building by the end
of the week.
Proposes to Light New Jail.
Proposals for lighting the new city
jail are to be received by the com
mission soon. The city council author
ised the advertising of proposals this
morning.
The fortsts of the Philippines vould
more than cover the New England
states. New York and Pennsylvania,
their annual growth being estimated at
more than three times the lumber cut In
the whole United States.
That Mrs. A. E. Howard, wife of Dr.
Howard of this city, posed as a "baron
ess" and used the title in letters aa
dressed to the sisters of the late Max
Rleter, for whose property the sisters
are now suing to recover from the How
ards. was brought out at this fore
noon's session of the trial before Judge
Bean of the United States District
court. The plaintiffs allege the How
ards took advantage of Rieter's weak
mental condition and used undue influ
ence to secure deeds to his property.
Shortly before the plaintiffs' case was
rested:" a mass of communications writ
ten by Mrs. Howard to Rieter's relatives
were introduced. The majority of them
were signed by Mrs. Howard as "baron
ess," fo'lowed by the Initials "l... H.
Mrs. Howard explained the initials were
simply dictation marks. She had noth
ing to say regarding the title appended
to her signature. The plaintiffs allege
she posed before Rleter as a woman of
noble lineage for the purpose of more
easily persuading him to give her and
her husband deed to two pieces or
property worth 112.000, which he did
four days before his death.
Marriage Certificate Introduced.
The nlaintlfra attorneys also laid a
foundation for delving into Mrs. How
ard's life by Introducing a copy of her
marriage certificate. When the docu
ment was presented the defense ob
jected.
"J(our honor," replied Attorney
Veassie for the plaintiffs, "I want to call
your attention to the fact that this cer
tificate shows Mrs. Howard, at the time
of her marriage, declined to give the
name of her father, although the maiden
name of her mother appears."
According to tho certificate the couple
was married at Spokane in 1905.
It is understood the plaintiffs plan
an examination to ascertain her right to
the title of "baroness, and for this
reason will attempt lo learn why the
name of her father was omitted from
marriage- certificate.
.Defense Opens Case.
The defense opened their case shortly
before noon. Rev. Henry Marcotte,
pastor of tho Westminster Presbyterian
church, was the first witness. He tes
tified he knew Rleter fairly well and
that Rieter for 16 months before his
death lived with the Howards and was
in ...s judgment sane.
He opened a wide field of speculation
when he volunteered the information
that he was in a room with Mrs. How
ard following Rieter's death in March,
1912, when she destroyed a large num
ber of papers and letters that had be
longed to Rieter. Whether these papers
Included Rieter's check etuba and bank
statements, he was unable to state. He
said he was present on Mrs. Howard's In
vitation. The plaintiffs demanded pro
duction of the stuba, alleging that they
would show Rieter made out checks for
amounts aggregating thousands in
favor of the Howards. Thus far none
has been produced.
