PLAN TO RESIST :
nnioii in
TELEPHONE CASE
A verbal complaint delivered to pre
siding Judge Evans by W. E. Richard
son, Atorney for Robert Duncan and
others who are fighting the present
Increased teleptjpne rates,, caused the
court Tuesday afternoon to agree to
', bold up until Thursday an order of inr
tervention which when regularly en
tered in court record permits the Pa
cific Telephone t Telegraph company
to assume . the defease of a " suit
brought against the public- service
commission by Duncan and his asso
ciates for the purpose of attacking
telephone rates.- i
Richardson was in court when the
motion for the order was read and
approved, and at that time made no
objection, but later i came before the
judge and claimed that "the telephone
company was trying to- put something
over, on them." Although the order
was already signed, Evans announced
that he waa willing to hear .the bjec-,
t Ions of the-plaintiffs, -and, announced
that the order would be held up, until
a hearing at 9 o'clock Thursday.'
The telephone company in its mo
tion asked the right to defend the suit
which was brought Iby four subscrib
ers some time ago against the old
public service commission when they
granted an increase in rates. The
original suit "was not heard. An an
swer filed by the old public service
commission was withdrawn at the
request of the new, public service
commission, which j virtually meant
that the suit would succeed by default
unless it was defended by some one.
Charging that the present public serv
ice commission , was, not fair to both
sides, and was really a tool of the
subscribers, and had no intention of
defending the suit, the company asked
the right to defend the suit them-
serves. , -
Shortly after the granting of the
intervention order, the company filed
notice they would ask that the suit be
transferred to the federal court.

Australian Here to
Study Problem on
Engineering Basis
Methods - of road construction In
America, are the subject of a thorough
study which is being made in various
parts of this country by R.; R, B. Ben
nett," construction engineer for the
'shire of Qtway. Victoria,, Australia,
who is spending several days in Port
land, observing paving projects.
The development of new. lands In
Victoria and the opening up of , new
roads baa made it advisable for an
investigation of the methods which
have been successful in other., places,
Bennett said.
wfffe have much room for new set
tlers, and we are particularly glad to
have Americans come to Australia to
live, if they mean business and want
work. We have plenty of work and
plenty of room for men -who want to
work,r Bennett said. -
Bennett- served oversea as lieuten
ant of engineers in the Second Aus
tralian division, until he waa made ad
jutant of the Fourth Australian fly
ing squadron, and later adjutant of
the Australian flying school.
He is making .this trip .at his' own
expense in hope that he may acquire
sufficient knowledge to 'assist In the
development and improvement of his
community. He , will - travel to Cali
fornia by automobile in order to
.make a study of the roads on the
way, and after touring California he
plans to go east : before returning
home. i
Want Bridge Bond
Issue Put Up at
General Election
' The major sentiment at .Tuesday
night's meetings of the bridge commit
tee representing improvement dabs
south or Hawtnorne avenue was in
favor of .getting a 1,60ft, 000 bridge
bond proposition before the people Jof
Multnomah county at the next general
election. Some of the committee mem'
bers, 'however, expressed grave doubts
as to the advisability of such action
declaring their belief that the voters
are in no mood at this time to Indorse
any bonding proposition. " -
The plan to create assessment dis
tricts .on each side of the river to pay
for the bridge approaches also was
discussed, and some of the speakers
said this would be opposed by prop
erty owners in South Portland.
Plans for a general campaign to
create sentiment for the proposed. new
bridge are to be further considered at
a meeting to be called soon by the
chairman, Harry Hall, and the county
commissioners will be invited to be
present.

HER OUTFALLS
.'A five-year program for extending
and lowering the outfall sewers, to low
water, mark in the Willamette' river,
and yearly expenditure of $25,000 on
this work will be recommended to ; the
cHy council by . the ' waterfront . com
mi t tee which met Tuesday afternoon
at the city hall. It is felt that this
is. required before the general perma
nent improvement of the-waterfront is
made. . . v. . :
The committee decided to ' ask the
council to include . in the budget an
appropriation for waterfront - work
during the ensuing fiscal year, but
no definite amount was determined
upon.
A genera cleanup of the waterfront
is to be Insisted , upon, and the dock
commission is to be aaked as to its
purpose regarding ' the old buildings
and wharves which the waterfront
committee condemned more than two
years ago, but which were given an
extended lease of life by the dock
commission. Whether this is to he ex
tended is the question, as the water
front committee plans an extensive
survey of the entire .waterfront at low
water stage, and its recommendations
may be governed to a considerable
extent by the action of the dock com
mission in this matter.
It was decided to urge the harbor
master to use his jurisdiction to pre
vent the mooring of houseboats, etc.
adjacent to the bridges and to report
to the committee if he finds he has not
sufficient authority.
The dock commission, city council
and city engineer are. to be Notified
that the committee considers the old
Taylor etreet dock site in bad condi
tion 'and it should be remedied. The
report showed that in wrecking the
old dock the front row of piling was
allowed to remain, the site is covered
with rubbish and the sidewalks are
in dangerous condition. Agents of the
property have been notified.
The committee went pn record as op
posing any permit to cut curbs on
bridge approaches to make driveways
to private property, holding that this
was a.n obstruction to traffic. The
city attorney will be asked as to where
jurisdiction lies for sidewalk areas in
such cases whether in the city or
county.

In the house where Andrew Weir re
cently murdered . his mother. ' It was
on the second floor. Linoleum covered
the floor., ths two stills, .with 60 gal

brick furnactss with an intricate plumb
ing system connecting - them with the
oooling tank. There was a barrel of
charcoal for filtering purposes sus
pended from the ceiling. . Both ' stills
were constructed of copper and weru
said to be very clean. Officers found

I Johnson'' told officers that his . ap
paratus had cost him $600 and that
he had been operating three weeks.
He boasted that he could make better
liquor than any other moonshiner in
Oregon.
j Franchell's establishment, while not
so large, was complete in nearly every
detail. A special feature was at sacro
meter, a scientific instrument for indi
cating the time when the mash is
ready for distillation. Two stills with
10 and 25 gallons capacity, 150 gallons
of mash and a small supply, of moon
shine were found. Franchell claimed
his moonshine was the best in the
state.
The sacrometer was the first ever
found in Oregon, and is used only
by experienced distillers.
Both Johnson- and Franchell were
placed in jail, pending their' prelimin
