Mrs. Thornton was called to the
stand Tuesday afternoon and all this

by E. Y. Llttlefleld, attorney
for Mrs. Moore.
"Comparing It with the rest of the

poor," said the witness. "I was dis
appointed when I saw it."
Greta and Mrs. Thornton have been
friends for many years.

Mrs. Thornton testified that though

Milwaukie volunteer tire department,
who Is agitating the reoall movement.
DENY MAKING PROFIT
According to member of the boxing
commission, which is composed of W.
H. COUnsell, Frank Arighi And Albert
Thomas, the reason that the city of Mil
waukie has not been deriving any great
return from the boxing exhibitions is
that there has been no net profit
George P. Moore, manager of the box
ing arena, claims that the institution
is 120,000 in debt and even under tnese
circumstances the city has received
J3000 which It could not 'legally claim
and which, according to Mayor Snyder,.
has been placed in the general tuna oi
the city and expended for pavement ana
other municipal purposes.
BAT HCXlAlf WAS FIRED
To reduce the debt of the arena it is
stated that the pay of Mullan for jan
itor service was reduced some time ago
from $100 to $S0 per month, and that
the pay ot a number of other super
numeraries was cut off, being umitea
to passes to the fights. In this fact,
it is charged that Mullan's real griev
ance lies.
In the meantime the boxing commis
sion has dispensed with MuUan's serv
ices as janitor.

FOR TODD TRIAL
Ths extenstoa yssnralrtes of the Pert-
land Library associattaa at a meeting
at noon today, decided there Is no rea
son tor reversing its decision oa tha lo
cation of the University Park branch
library at Flake and Lombard streets.
Tha committee announced that it be
haves it accepted ths best ot two of
fers, after looking over the whole situ
ation and studying it from both side
Ths Flake and Lombard location, oa
which a building U to be leased front
the University Park Methodist Episco
pal church, has paved streets on two
aides and the church people are ready
to begm work oa the structure at once.
The chief protest to thia site was led
by the Rev. John D. Rice, vicar of St.
Andrews Episcopal church and secretary
of ths Episcopal diooese of Oregon,
"We Closed the University Park
branch library because the site waa un
sanitary and unsuitable," said s B. atc
Naughton, a member ot ths library
board, "and put it up to ths resi
dents to find a mors suitable location
and building which we would rent for
library purposes. Two propositions came
ts us, both St them for a building upon
which we would have a five year lease.
The matter was referred to ths library
extension committee to investigate with
power to act.
The two sites in controversy are only
three blocks apart, ths second being at
Hodge street,"
The library extension committee which
recommended the Ftske and Lombard
street sits of ths University Park Meth
odist Episcopal church, is composed ot
Robert Strong, chairman : Hugh Herd-
man, R. L. Sabln Jr. and Amedee M.
Smith.
Objections to the Flake-Lombard site
raised by the Lombard-Hodge faction
as given by the Rev. Rice are that it is
several blocks from the Portsmouth pub
lic school and the Holy Cross parochial
school and away from the center of the
district served by the library.
