share for her son, who she declares is
one of Eccles' sons, is defendant in a
suit filed today. United States Deputy
Attorney John Beckman today filed In

made a party In the government's suit
to recover 8000 acres of eastern Ore
gon timber lands and 9300,000 cash for"
timber removed from them by the
Oregon Lumber company some years
ago.
The government alleges that the
lands were procured fraudulently In
1901 but no suit could be filed within
the six year statute of limitations because-
deeds of dummy entrymen to the.
company were not filed until the
statute of limitations had run. Forty
three patents are involved.
The action was filed several years
ago but was held up pending the out
come of the Linn and Lane timber
case. This case carried the same,
point but was decided on others and
as a result the present case was re
sumed. David C. Eccles Is administrator of

Sam Krasher. jformer underworld
politician and power In Portland's old

to 18 months' imprisonment in the fed
eral prison at McNeil Island for white
slavery. I He displayed no emotion
when th sentence was given by Judge
Bean In the federal courju He was
convicted of transporting Rosa Bab
cock from Portland to Shiperd Springs,
Wash., and conducted his own case.
TCrasner asked no mercy. , When
caned upon for a statement he simply
called the court's; attention .to the
fact that he has been confined in the
county Jail five months awaiting trial,
and Judge Bean took this in consid
eration when he passed sentence.
"Although In this case evidence was
brought out showing the defendant's
connection with other possible of
fenses,' I cannot in strict justice take
that In account," said - Judge' Bean.
"Otherwise this Is -not an aggravated
case." : . - j ;
Immediately after sentence had been
imposed, Mrs. Krasner"s bondsmen

It Is surmised that President Wil

When he returns to Washington, the
president and Lansing, both with their
ideas well formed, j will go over the
matter together. . ..-:-,
The only reason i for considering a
trip to Cornish, Lansing said, was to
avoid curtailing President Wilson's
vacation. i
Asked regarding la. report that the
administration's - rejoinder would be
forwarded to Berlin this week, the sec
retary smiled and said there was ''noth
ing to indicate it." On the contrary,
some" authorities expressed the belief
that the note - might not be dispatched
for at least SO; days, and perhaps long

Cornish. The president has the of
ficial text of the German note In his
hands now and has (given careful con
sideration to the new reply. .
Count von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, wilt call upon Secretary
Lansing probably this week. He will
endeavor to learn Informally whether
any assistance mayj be given the ad

Two Aplicants for Electricc
I Franchise Aspire to Oper

DOES CITY NOW CONTROL?
United Sail ways and O. X. Black In
terests Botk Taking Chance on le
gality of Franchise for Una.
Although the question of the county
commissioners' authority to grant fran
chises along the St, Helens road to Linn
ton since Linn ton became a part of Port
land, was raised by City Attorney La
Roche this morning, the board will re
ceive drafts of franchises desired to
morrow and will act upon the requests
Wednesday."-" ?;.:.-;:.
Mr. La Roche held that, under the
state law, ' the county commissioners
have authority only over county roads
outside the city and construed m. sec
tion of the city charter giving author
ity over county roads within its lim
its to mean only powers to maintain,
repair and Improve. District Attorney
Evans and Deputy Murphy construe
the charter provision to mean jurisdic
tion sufficient for the granting of the
franchise and the county commission
ers v are following the latter advice,
leaving the legality of the franchises
to be determined on action by those
asking for them. ,
h-JXwo Franchises Bought.
Two .franchises are being sought
along the road. The United Railways,
whose franchise was revoked some
months ago, is asking the right to
maintain a freight spur, and O. ' M.
Clark and others are seeking a fran
chise for a freight and passenger line
to Linnton to replace the United Rail
ways line.
Attorney C. H. Carey, for the United
Railways, had a draft of a franchise
ready for submission, but changes were
suggested which will be Incorporated In
the new. draft. Attorney R. W. Mon
tague, representing the Clark Interests,
promised to submit a draft of the fran
chise they propose to Deputy Murphy
this afternoon. The two will come up
tomorrow , morning and- probably will
be considered in executive session.
Montague offered, for his clients, to
agree upon a minimum service: of 12
trains daily each way, and to charge
a fare of 5 cents each way. He of-
t f ered to incorporate a clause giving the
county 6 per cent of the net income for
the right. Judge Carey objected to
this, saying that his company paid S
jper cent of the gross receipts, and that
jit would be easy for any company to
assimilate all its income' in expenses
' and charges, leaving the county with
out pay. Montague replied that under
the supervision of the ' public service
commission this would be impossible.'
Soad as City Street, v.
City Attorney La Roche said he had
already taken up '. with the city ' com
missioners the proposition of taking
over the St. Helens road as a city
street, and that this probably would be
done. - Montague said he could speak
for Linnton residents that it was not
desired that the city do this until the
road had been paved. The county com
missioners assured him, however, that
under the bond issue the improvement
of the road was compulsory upon the
county. It was agreed that no action
could be taken "by the city until the
improvement is completed, and on that
.theory the applicants asked for imme
diate franchises from' the county, each
. side appearing willing to take the
I chance that the county commissioners
have authority to grant them. .
Montague said his clients would ask
additional time, . under the circum
stances, in which to complete their
"road, but that he believed work would
' be started in the near future, despite
the possible chance of illegality of the
franchise. He said he was reluctant to
1 offer the B-cent fare, as he feel's that
the company will make no return on
its Investment, but that he had author
ity from his clients to do -so.
. V. May Bent Yraofcs. .
" Judge Carey said his company would
not give the Clark interests the right
to use its private tracks, but' that if a
5-cent fare were charged and 12 trains
: were operated each way daily, he was
isure his company would make the ren
'tal for use of Its private tracks very
reasonable. ' .
Minor changes In the franchises were
discussed and will be settled by the
county commissioners before they are
passed upon.
