THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, : PORTLAND, THURSDAY MAY 13, 1915. WATER BUREAU MEN SAY METERS NEEDED; : i MAYOR THUS NAY City Executive Favors Meas uring When it Is Neces- sary, He Declares, WOULD END SHORTAGES tmiulUt Installation Woaia Save ' Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars, Asserts Engineer Clark. Although the experts of the water bureau who have given years ? study to the question eay that the city should begin the Installation of water meters now, ijviayor tu h. aid8 says that meters will not be needed for 10 years or more. '--..- D. D. Clarke, engineer of the bu i reau. Assistant Engrlneer Randlett and t I,. S. Kaiser, superintendent of the i! bureau, say that water meters are i necessary and their Installation should commence at once. f "I am In favor' of meterB," says I Mayor Albee, "but the only question Is when they should be Installed. I i .. don'fc believe that they should be In t stalled for 10 years or more." Engineer Clarke says that If meters i are installed now water shortage will : be a thing: of the past and the city will save hundreds pf thousands of dollars by delaying; the laying of ; mains. He says that had meters sbeen installed five years ago the city would not have had to spend $1,250,- 000 for the construction of a second Bull Run pipe line for years to come. The city is paying the Interest on these bonds Issued for the construc tlon and will continue to do-so for a great many years, while, according to i Engineer Clarke, bond Issues can be cut down enormously if meters are r Installed with money from current revenues. ;.' ; '. - I I Eastman May Be Retained. 1 As result of the recent municipal i civil, service examination for market i master at the ;YamhiU public market, !

PAVING TYPES ARE BY Yeon Says Aim Is to Protect Taxpayer Rather Than the Paving Contractor, Paving specifications are being con sidered by the board of county com missioners. District Attorney Kvans and Roadmaster Yeon today. In submitting, specifications for the eight types-of pavement agreed upon, Roadmaster Teon said that it was his aim to secure a pavement' that would accord with the highest standards and give the best value. "We have sought in our specifica tions.- said he. "to protect the interest of the taxpayers rather than those of the paving contractors." The entire forenoon was taken up principally with the discussion of-the specifications for Warrenite. These specifications were submitted by - the Warren Construction company. Dis trict Attorney Evans thought they were not quite specific enough and sug gested that the county prepare its own specifications for bitulithic pavement, following in a general way those which have been adopted by the city. While admitting that he considered "Warrenite the best type of pavement Mr. Evans contended that he wished to secure free and open competition in bidding. The specifications for asphaltlc con crete or "Topeka mixture" called for a five inch concrete base. A question was raised as to whether the old ma cadam base could . be used or not. Walter B. ' Warren, of the Warren Con struction company, was present during the consideration of the Warrenite specifications and explained different features. ; .

Baron Sonnino announced that Aus tria's concessions were not acceptable and hinted that Italy was about to end ail negotiations by taking a drastic step. E j What announcement the government is to make is being kept secret.

At that time it Ts expected Italy's de cision Will be formally announced. From authoritative sources it has been learned; that in the latest note from Vienna; Austria of fered j the fol lowing concessions to Italy: Cede to the Rome government all portions of Trentlno inhabited by Italians; borne rule for Trieste; cession of the Isoneo district with Ctrandisco and give Italy a free hand' in South Albania.

UP ON HIS CAREER AS But Denies on Stand in $50,- 000 Was Libel Suit That He "If inj 898-1 900. Syracuse, N. J., Majr 13. (J. N. B.) Taking the witness stand in a non chalent manner &nd assuming a" Com fortable position with legs crossed and arms loosely folded, William F. Barnes today began a review of his business and political carer, various phases of which'' - Colonel iTheodore Roosevelt called . crooked and corrupt, thereby making himself defendant in the $50, 000 libel sutt-filed by Barnes. The beginning of his importance as a political factor, Barnes said was in -188?,; when he was appealed to by squabbling factions -of Albany politic ians to settle a clash over a primary election. Denying that he was a leader of the Republican organization in 18,98 1900, the witness stated that Senator Piatt was the real head of state af fairs then and was succeeded by Gov ernor Odell, who resigned as .Republi can monarch until 1906. . Barnes put" "Colonel Theodore Roose velt Jn the front rank of His own "Ananias club". He flatly denied that he ever told Roosevelt, as the former president testified, that he believed the Vriff raff" were unfit to govern, BarnesV, not only1 gave Roosevelt the lie, but added the trimming ; that he didn't even know what '"riff raff meant. 5 The ethics of the 'Republican or ganizatlon in Kew York state were ex- pounded at iength by Barnes. .' He ad4 mitted.be had often told Roosevel that there might be party organisation discipline and. leadership, but denied that ho was ever, as the colonel lntit mated, the "boss" of New York. The use of money, Barnes said, itsel branded the colonel as Vboss" of the Republicans In the state from 1908 to 1910. ' j Barnes specifically denied Roose velt's testimony concerning an alleged conversation between the two regard ing the franchise tax bill. - John W. Hutchinson, a New York lawyer, chairman of the speakers bu reau of the Republican State commit! tee from 1906, to 1912. gave some inter esting 'testimony for Mr. Barnes at yesterday afternoon's hearing. 1 The witness told of meeting Colonel Roosevelt by appointment at the Har vard club in New York,' July 15, 1914. "I told Roosevelt that! he was in a way the whole Progressive " party ,'f said Hutchinson. "I said it did not make any material difference what the Progressive organization did in the way of nominatidg candidates. Thre was' a rumor that Colonel Rooserelt was considering running for governor in the fall. That's what I wanted to find out about. I told him that it would make a lot of difference if he took an active position himself and that if he were to oppose the Repub lican organization It ; would simply widen the chasm and prevent a re union of the party. - "He said that would not do. and added, You have to have me.: i can go after Mr. Wi)son and tear him to pieces and you have not anybody who can do it.' -I told him we would have to get together. By 'we' I meant the two factions of the Republican party."
