THE OREGON- DAILY JOURNAL, POR TLAND. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1920. 3 COUNTY BUILDING ANNEX PLANS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN Plans for erection of a one Btory annex in the light well of the court house, to cost between $65,000 and $100,000, seem more distant than a week ago. Consideration of ways in which this money could otherwise be expended has been made by the county commissioners. CommlH.sloner Muck has expressed him self as being opposed to constructing the building. The whole matter Is Btlll a study, ac cording to Commissioner Holman, and the third county official. Chairman Hoyt, has said the cost is chief factor. SITRVKV IN BEING MADK Meanwhile the board has employed architects to survey the courthouse to change office xpace to find room other wise. When the matter was first broujiht to light by The Journal, all the commissioners acknowledged that nu merous organizations and persons were occupying npace to which they had no right, hut two commissioners contended that ejection of these would In no way solve the problem. A recent survey nhows that over 30 rooms are being occupied by organiza tion not connected with county admin istration. The entire seventh floor ik occupied hy the Northwestern School of I,aw. Seven rooms are being used court rejorterH of various depart ment. I 'art of Murk's plan is to partition large rooms into smaller alcoves for court reporters, to convert one floor into as large a room as the, tax de partment needs, and to allow uncon nected organizations to move elsewhere when the room is needed. It Is pro poned to convert the courtroom now used by 'residing Judge McCourt Into n assembly room for the county com missioners and trannfer the judge to one of the two courtrooms now vacant. TENANTS ARE NAMED Among the organizations not con nected with the county which aro oc- cuplng room In the courthouse are : City school ImplnesM offioen. 12 rooms; public welfare bureau, 3 rooms; Ore gon Humane society, 1 room ; state horticultural board. 1 room ; bureau of faboi 1 room : I 'arent -Teacher association,- 4 rooms; public welfare bu reau. 3 rooms: University of Oregon, JV rooms ; state grain inspection bu reau, 1 room ; statp labor commission er, 1 room ; public service commission. It rooms; Oregon Congress of Mothers, 1 room ; Northwestern College of Law, 1 floor. A few of these organizations pay rent to the county. WILSON AND HOOVER (Continued From Pac One) occasion, has been held back from ap pointing men who might not be con firmed by the senate, and has in one conspicuous case that of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago withdrawn a nomina tion for chairmanship of the federal re serve board. The Colby appointment, however. Is not merely a personal choice, but it arouses the political ire of Wilson's op ponents on Capitol Hill, who incidentally have been feeling none too pleased over the selection of Charles R. Crane to be minister to China, a post tor which he started only to be called back home by Philander C. Knox, then secretary of state, and now an active foe of the president in connection with the treaty fight. Speaking of political, repartee, the nomination of Crane is hardly palatable to Republicans. Crane, however, has his revenge. He boned the Republican party after that' Incident and support ed first LaFollette and then Wood row Wilson, contributing to the campaigns of both men In the hope that either might win a party nomination on pro gressive platforms. WANTS PB.OGHE88IVE ME3f When LaFollette failed to win. Crane threw his support 5to Wilson, and con tributed heavily to the 1912 campaign funds. He could have been ambassador to any post in Europe. He declined to accept any such Job. His readiness to take a diplomatic position of lower grade minister to China is therefore viewed as having some relation to his earlier choice for the post under the Taft administration. But the naming of two Progressive Republicans Crane and Colby means something else. So far as Woodrow Wilson is concerned, he is not going to stick blindly to his party any more. He will reach out for men of the progressive type in either party. That, in itself, has raised the question of a possible support by the White House for the Hoover candidacy. OPENS BANKS FOB HOOTER In Georgia the other day they declined to let Hoover's name go on the ballot because they did not know whether or not he was a Democrat and they paused to send the former food administrator A letter of inquiry. But If President Wilson can take into the bosom of his official family, a progressive Republican of 1912, the Democrats who are con cerned with a man's present, and not past beliefs or affiliations, will be able to argue that the Democratic party can afford to accept into its ranks a pro gressive like Herbert Hoover. This establishes an important prece dent or rather a weighty argument for the Democrats who have been enthusi astically booming Hoover for the Demo cratic nomination. FEAB LOSING CANDIDATE It Is not known how friendly Hoover and Colby have been, but it Is a fact that the former is intimately associated with Charles R. 'rane. He Is as much of a Democrat as either Colby or Crane. Therefore, if Hoover wants the Demo cratic nomination the incidents of the present week will help him more than anything else si. ice his name began to be mentioned. Whether he is ready to tie up with the Wilson administration that has glossed oer the acts of the uitra-conservauve tsurieson, wnose prog ressivlsm is not of the same blend as that of Colby or Crane, Is another ques tion. People here are beginning more and more to believe that Herbert Hoover will not hesitate to Indorse the Repub lican nominee for the presidency if the latter happens to be a real progressive, and thus make it impossible for the Democrats to name him at their 8an Francisco convention. END OF TERM NOT DULL, So it all depends" on what happens at the Chicago convention, which is to be held at least a week earlier than that of the Democrats. And the appointment of Colby, prominent progressive, to so important a place as the secretaryship of state is being regarded as the open ing gun in the fight for the large inde- MASTER BUILDERS N CONVENTION TO HAVE BIG BANQUET A banquet in the Multnomah hotel at 6:30 p. m. will feature the gath ering of Northwest master builders in convention, here today and Sat urday. O. G. Hughson, manager of the Builders' exchange, will be toastmaster. The third annual meeting of the con tractors opened at the hotel Thursday morning and will close with a smoker Saturday night at the Builders' ex change, Worcester building. The program today included ad dresses on construction problems by Kins r . Lawrence, M. W. Lorenz. Cap tain Frederick S. Cook and other local men. S. C. Krickson of Tacoma talked at the morning session on the value of vocational training to apprentices, and C. R. Aldrlch of Seattle spoke on "The Contractor and City Affairs." Mem bers and their friends were given a luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce at noon, where they were welcomed in a speech by H. B. Van Duzer, presi dent of the chamber. Following a luncheon given in the rose room of the Meier & Frank 'store Thursday for the visiting women who are guests of the women's auxiliary, a meeting wa held at the Multnomah hotel. Mrs. Jacob Tranchell of this city was elected president, Mrs. John Chalmers of Tacoma secretary and treasurer, and a vice president from each city represented will be named. In the evening a program was of fered for the women visitors in the gold room of the Multnomah, includ ing: Piano selection, Mrs. Isobel Hous ton ;radler; violin. Miss Katherine Jordon, accompanied by Marcus Leo pold ; readings. Miss Kmily Spaeth ; saxophone solo. Ted Yoder, accom panied by P. M. Yoder; musical read ing. Miss Kugenia Craig, accompanied by Mrs. J. Harvey Johnson ; violin, Mica Helen Oreitz and Miss Agnes Mc Call ; song. Miss Delma McMaster, Mrs. Johnson accompanist, and an interpre tive dancing number by Miss Katherine Flint. The program was followed by cards and refreshments. Mrs. O. Way man was in charge of arrangements, Mrs. Thomas Muir and Mrs. J. M. Dougan acting as hostesses. Roof Fire Causes $500 Damage to House and Goods Sparks from a chimney were fanned into a fire on the .roof of the residence at 812 South Willamette boulevard. Engines 32 and 24 responded to an alarm and the fire was extinguished with about $500 damages to building and furniture. The house is occupied by J. A. Campbell and owned by O. W. Water bury. The grocery store of M. Bernstein, 554 East Sixth street, was slightly dam aged by fire, the estimate being $50. The building is owned by Mrs. Anna HeroTd. FEW ON HAND TO HELP GREAT WORK OF PISGAH HOME FEBRUARY TRAFFIC MOD ENTS RUN HIGH Fares Serious Charge Cornelius Heitman, 13, a streetcar conductor, was In Jail Thursday in de fault of $C000 bond, as result of his ar rest on two charges of contributing to the delinquency of minors. It is alleged that Wednesday night he took two young girls to his home at 1201 Mis sissippi avenue. Parents of one Investi gated when she failed to return until morning. Heitman's arrest followed. pendent and progressive vote which is not tied tightly to either party. Wilson may be a sick man but he Is not avoiding trouble with congress. The Colby appointment has created as much furore as the choice of Louis D. Rrandeis, another progressive Republican, who be came a member of the supreme court. Whatever else may be said of the presi dent, he is not allowing the last part of his term to grow dull or be kept off the first pages. 2 KNOX .IS HAT N the Knox Soft Felts and Derbies presented for Spring 1920 will be found all that could be desired or demanded in hats. Knox designers, studying carefully the trend of men's hat fashions, have produced the best. Knox hatters have imparted to these styles the stamina which gives service. iraio Sichel men's furnisher and hatter exclusive but not expensive 331 Washington street, near broadway gsgajaBWfiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I s Portland traffic officers are wor ried over the record of automobile accidents that the month of Febru ary will show. They are full of anxiety over whether a returning '. increase in the number of smash- ' ups is to be ushered in with the coming of spring. There were 01 accidents last Friday. The number Is but six short of the ' highest number ever recorded in a I single day in Portland. Last Wednes j day the grim total roe to 41, but 16 i short of the high mark. This, in spite ! of the strenuous efforts made by Cap ! tain Lewis and his men since the be ginning of the accident prevention cam paign in November, causes them to won der if their efforts have been In, -vain. ACCIDENTS FROM WET STREETS Slippery streets will come with the spring showers, and wet streets are the cause of many a smashup. More than two score accidents have resulted from skidding cars during every one of the last few months. Twenty collisions were reported in two days last week. In which slippery streets were declared to have ben the cause. But drivers know when the streets are wet, and when they are s!lpiory. They know that automobile tires fkid on we pavement. Would .t be amies if pilots reKulated their speed to cor respond with the condition of the streets? It is impossible, of course, to prevent skidding at 20 miles an hour, or lo if the turn Is sharp. But by going Into Intersections at four or five -niis an hour on rainy days, drivers would avotd virtually every collision that results from skidding. Had a machine been entering the Intersection at Seventeenth and Gllsan at five miles an hour last week, little Gilbert Kuehlc would prob ably be alive today. LACK OF CAR CONTROL A machine was parked near Twelfth and Eurnside last week. Another came along, attempted to turn as it neared the other, skidded completely around, and crashed into the parked machine. Had the driver of the moving vehicle regulated his f-peed to conform with the condition of the pavement, there would have been no collision. Skidding was not the fundamental cause of the acci dent. It was lack of control of the automobile. A driver piloted his machine rapidly into the Intersection at- Thirty-fourth and Division. He attempted to turn, skidded 20 feet and smashed his car. "Icy pavement" is blamed for the acci dent. The driver would have avoided the i-mashup, in all probability, If he had thought of the "icy pavement" be fore rather than after the crash. Another driver saw a streetcar halt 100 feet ahead. He skidded into it. "The ice coated street rendered me powerless to stop," he says. Of course it did at the rate of speed he was traveling. Machines seldom skid 100 ft-et at in miles an hour. And that is a high speed on slippery streets. CUTTING CORNERS DANGEROUS One of the frequent causes of acci dents is "cutting corners," where mo torists swing too close to the left curb intersection. This "cutting" has been so frequent at East Water street and Hawthorne avenue that Traffic Police men Scott and Anderson measured the distance and set up a marker In the cen ter of this intersection. Within a short time Thursday they arrested 27 drivers for cutting around inside this marker. Municipal Judge Rossman set all these violators free this morning, making ob jections to the method of their arrest. All, however, had pleaded guilty to the violation of the traffic ordinance. Mrs. C. E. Warrens Sues for Divorce Oregon City. Feb. 27. Suit for divorce was filed Thursday by Josephine War rens against Charles E, Warrens, charg ing desertion. They were married in Portland June 9, 1897, and have two children. Mrs. Warrens is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Steel and is a sister of Mrs. James F. Ewing. Lynn Weimer May Have Been Drowned Police were notified today that Lynn Weimer, an employe on the municipal terminal dredging operations at St. Johns, had been missing since 5:30 o'clock and it was feared that he had fallen from the dredge and been drowned. Weimer had not been seen at his accustomed inspection of the pipe line. He lived in Burlington street. St. Johns. Ewing Is Recovering From Long Illness James F. Ewing, educational director of the First Presbyterian church, has so far recovered from his long and serious illness as to be able to take a trip to California. Mr. and Mrs. Ewing left Portland quietly Tuesday for Berke ley and Carmel-by-the-Sea, where they intend to remain a month or more until Mr. Ewing's health is fully restored. HOOVER For President Democrats friendly to the movement now on foot to place the name of Herbert C. Hoover ont the ballot as a Democratic candidate for president may se cure blank nominating petition forms by writing Oswald West, 500 Journal Bldg., Portland, Or. Adv. ' ? "Where are my friends?" ques tioned "Mother" Lawrence of Pisgah Home colony, this morning. "Don't they know our drive is on? Don't they know that without work ers and without contributions fur ther progress in our work is im possible? Don't they realize that good wishes alone won't finance us?" Three hundred Women had promised cooperation ; 10 appeared for work. Campaign managership and publicity organization had fallen short of im pressing the unquestioned excellence and unselfishness of the work for the un fortunate at Pisgah home and Pisg;h home colony. HONOR STILL UNIDENTIFIED One man. unknown, who had sent at Thanksgiving $250. offered another anonymous contribution of $100, Thurs day. He had done more without pledge than those whose volunteer assumption of obligation to make the campaign a success is not being reflected in service. "A prince of a man," was the name "Mother'' Lawrence gave to the un known. With unqualified permit from the city and enthusiastic endorsement from local organizations, it Was suggested this morning that the campaign for funds need not fail and a good work need not be lost because of the city'? defaulting, if the time were extended and radical measures of reorganization applied. Saturday will be tag day for the home. when citizens will be asked to give tithes. It will be the one big day for the solicitors working to raise $35,000 for Pisgah colony as part of the "Old Folks at Home" week activities. WAITING LIST FOR HOME Mrs. Lawrence reports that she has had a waiting list for accommodation for some time past, and that this makes some action imperative. Almost every day applications come to Woodmere Old Peoples home or to the colony afar, for a piace to live, for a place for some old persons to end their lives In happiness and comfort. Headquarters of the. campaign are in room 61T, (Jasco building, and workers who wish to assist in the canvass or help wi(h the tag sale tomorrow should report there to Mrs. Louise Palmer Weber, campaign manager. Checks for the home should be made payable to C. Henri Labbe. treasurer. SHIPPEY EXPLAINS LOVES FRENCH GIRL (Continued From 1'ui On. ) which had made our home so unhappy before I went overseas asserted Itself. She accused me of having come home reluctantly. I tried to assure her that I was glad to be home, but admitted 1 had come home with the determination that if we could not live together hap pily we must separate. She became so angered at that, that she struck me with her fists. TEACHER IX OREG0S "The day after our return to Kansas City I received a letter offering Made leine a place as a French teacher In Oregon. I had written letters about her to America long before there had been anything improper about our love for each other. I forwarded that letter to Madeleine and on the strength of it she got passpbrts to America. "On arriving in America, she knew what she had not known before, that she was to become a mother. That made it impossible for her to teach in a girls' school. No one met her in New York and in the hotel to which she went, though it was a good one. $50 was stolen from a purse which she left in her room while she went to the dining room. That left her Without enough money to get to Oregon, so she came to Kansas City. SICK BIT BRAVE "The poor little girl was very sick, but .still brave. Throughout all this try ing situation, her bravery and sweetness have been my greatest comfort j?All her life in this country has been lawful and honorable and she has encouraged me to fulfill every legal and moral obliga tion to my wife and son. I told my wife that, in view of our previous un happiness, nothing I could ever do could make things right for her now. and begged her to let me do the one decent thing left for me to do, marry the French girl I have wronged. "Madeleine was as pure as heaven when I met her. Her love for me has been the most glorious thing that ever came into my life and though I greatly regret the sorrow this has caused others, I cannot be sorry for that love. It is ennobling and strengthening, and I feel that nothing 1 can ever do or be or suffer can be worthy of it. It Is her intention and mine that we shall live honorably, for the sake of our coming child and never break the law : but. of course, it a our great hope that soon somehow, legally and honorably, we may be married and rear cur child in honor." f On inquiry at various public and pri vate schools in Portland no information as to the placing of Mile Babin in the city as a teacher has been secured. The office of the Portland City schools re ports that no correspondence with such a person has been placed on file arid that no application has been made by her for a position as instructor. In reply to the question at Miss Catlin's school, St. Helens Hall and St Marys academy, or any other educational institution in the city the answer has been the same. COUNTY BACKS CITY IN UL PLAN (Continued From Pmca One) on Marquam hill Immediately, so that It will be ready for occupancy by fall?" he asked. "We can't do it tn a year or more," replied County Commissioner Hoyt. "It is a physical impossibility to fin ish it within six months," added Hol man. "Then, gentlemen, jthe city would like to know with how1' great a sum the county will stand back of us In the con struction of the Kelly Butte hospital." HOLMAN MAKES OFFER It was at that point that the fire works started. By reason of long prac tice. Holman was able to make himself heard above the rest. "I am willing to underwrite the city not to exceed $20,000," he said, "but I would like to couple wfh it a policy of elimination of duplication In the city and county bureaus." "Wait a moment, gentlemen," put in Commissioner Hoyt. excitedly. "The city can get the money other places. The county has expenses of Its own to meet. I am opposed to the plan of having the county build city buildings." "I don't give a damn where you stand," asserted Mayor Bsker politely, "as long as the other two county com missioners are with us. We don't want to ask favors of you gentlemen that we don't have to. But In the event that we need the money, we would like to be able to get it." "We are willing to lend it to you, re plied Hoyt. City Commissioner Barbur Joined in. "If the city could borrow money we would have done It long ago," he de clared. "The charter won't let us go in debt above our budget."4 MCCK SUGGESTS IDEA County Commissioner Muck entered in the argument for the first time and poured the gasoline on the fire with his opening statements. "We have $65,000 in our budget for the erection of a one Btory annex to the courthouse," he stated. "Present estimates raise that sum to $100,000 or over. We can crowd some here and I am in faor of using at least part of this money for the hospital. Commissioned Holman interrupted him with the declaration that the annex plan was still in the nature of a study, but he suggested the possibility of util izing some of the other county funds. Mayor Baker finally wound up the argument. "We would like to know what the county commissioners will do, and then go." he stated flatly. "I will support Holman's motion to underwrite the city." said Muck. The matter was thus decided. Hoyt got a parting shot at the mayor by telling him he might be able to switch one of the other commissioner's view points before time for definite adion. CONFERENCE ENDS PEACEFI'I.LT The conference broke up into units and numerous love fests were held to blot out any rancor. Five sample bricks with which the county commissioners had providently provided themselves, re mained in their corner, unused during the conference The early part of the meeting was given over to a discussion of ways and nifans. It was decided that it would be impractical for the county to build a smallpox hospital on Marquam hill how, for such a building would cost at least $180,000 it was figured, and could not be completed for a year and a half. The hospital being erected by the city at Kelly Butte is to be a permanent structure, and will house some 50 pa tients. When the county finally de cides to build a contagious disease hos pital on Marquam bill, the, Kelly Butte building will be utilized for some other purpose. Dr. Mackenzie gave expert testimony to the boards as to the logical situa tion for the hospital and he pictured the ultimate great medical center which is to rise on the Marquam bill site. At present the University of Oregon and the county hospital, which is in the course of construction, are the only buildings there. EXTENSIV E SALE OF TIMBER MAD E TO EASTERN MEN Purchase of approximately 130,000 acres of timber land In Klamath county at an early date by the Long Bell Lumber company of Kansas City, is indicated in reports received from Klamath Falls. The tract is held by the Western Pacific Land & Timber company and is estimated to cruise three billion feet of mer chantable pine timber valued at ap proximately $10,000,000. The Long-Bell company purchased 87, 000 acres pf timber land in northern Klamath county from the Booth-Kelly company about one year ago. This tract carries approximately 1.500,000.000 feet, and the Long-Bell company is ex pected to build mills In the vicinity during the next two years, with an an nual capacity of S00,OO0jt00 feet. The Weyerhaeuser interests recently disposed of 75,000 acres of fir timber in the CowlltK valley to the Long - Bell company for $6,000,000. This is the largest timber deal recorded in the Northwest and will be exceeded only by the Klamath county transfer. Slayer Takes Trip To See Relatives; Now on Way Back Salem. Feb. 27. A. B. Foster, commit ted to the state prison here from Port land, September 18, 1919. for killing Lau rence Coodell. a night clerk in a Port land hotel, and transferred to the state tuberculosis hospital for treatment Jan- juary 6 last, left that institution Thurs- day night surreptitiously and went to Portland to visit relatives. Word was I received from him this afternoon that he was on his way back to Salem. Foster was a model prisoner at the penitentiary and had given no trouble at the tuberculosis hospital, where be was employed at light work. He had at times, however, appeared despondent and seemed to brood over his troubles. His original wentcnio called for one year to 13 months' Imprisonment, leav ing only some five months yet to serve. SMYRNA ADR IAN0PLE, AWARDED TO GREECE (Continued From Past Or. ) the Turks should remain In Constanti nople and the recent "de facto" recog nition of the three Caucasian republics probably indicates that the allies have started a new policy in the east one of conciliation. Something had to be done to meet the Bolshevist menace around the Caspian sea for Afghasis tan, India, Mesopotamia and other British possessions or protectorates were gravely threatened. First, apparently, It was decided to placate the Turks and thus avoid the danger of a rising In the rear, and, sec ond, it seems as if an attempt had to be made to consolidate native opposi tion to Bolshevism in the Caucasus. The peoples there could hardly be expected to fight the battles of England if they were not recognized as worthy of Inde pendence. RICH IN RESOCRCES Perhaps the moft important of the new Caucasian nations is Aaei bnidjan. It Is the only Mohammedan republic in the world. It has 5,000,000 Inhabitants about the Caspian port of Baku. Al though tiny In area it Is very rlcl- in oil, cotton, tea and agricultural prod ucts. From a political point of view, it stands out as a buffer state between Russia and the British spheres of Influ ence in Mesopotamia and Persia There can be little doubt that if Great Britain fights the Reds on the Persian border, as she may have to do by reason of her treaty with the shah, she will welcome the aid of Eii.OOO native troops In Azer baijan. Likewise the recognition of this Mohamo edan state ought to have a bappy effect on the Moslem populations of India, Syria, Mesopotamia and Arabia BRITAIN GIVES ADVICK "All the British troops have been withdrawn from Baku," said the fat, pudgy, little man who is at the same time president of the Azerbaidjan peace delegation and provisional president of the republic, "but Great Britain con tinues to give us advice, through a high commissioner established in the capital. No other great power has a diplomat of equal rank among us. A French commissioner left Paris this very morn ing, but some time must elapse before his arrival Italy is represented by a special military mission. The t'nited States has only Colonel Haskell as rep resentative to all the Caucasus coun tries." "Are you making active preparations to meet the Bolshevist menace?" I asked. "No," replied the president. "They are Jlll far away across the Caspian sea.. Our most immediate enarny is Gen eral lenlkln, who bitterly clings to the reactionary idea of a gt-cator Russia. Fortunately, however, he is not Viry strbng at present" "What are your future political plans?" was my next query. "Do you wish to become a British protectorate?" WAKT independence "By no means," came the answer. "We want to llva free and untrammeled by any great power. We would like to form a Caucasian feneration with Georgia and Armenia, but the latter country does not seem to take to the idea at alL Then in the distant future, perhaps, there may be a chance of union with Persia. Our religion, manners and customs are much the same as hers and the Persian language is simi lar to ours. The commercial connec tions between the two countries are strong. But for the moment, believe me. there is no necessity for such plans. AH the world has need of our exports of naptha, benzine, gasoline and crude oil. We are rich enough and capable enr-ugh to govern ourselves." VftnilDINF 4 ffkafcMnt.
