WOR ARRESTED BY POIBTER BUT HOT BECAUSE HE WAS NOT TAGGED VIOLATED THE ORDINANCE AGAINST "CUTTING CORNERS" RECORDER HEEDS HIS PLEA The City's Highest Officer Is P ulled by Poundmaster Irvine, to Whom All Offenders Look Alike, for Violating the Ordinance Concerning "Cutting Corners," and Is Put on the Carpet Before City Recorder Elgin--The Mayor Set Up in Exten uation That He Was Driving a Colt, and He Was Compelled to Drive as He Did to Avoid a' Collision, and So Escaped a Fine. White Is Still Chief. San Francisco, June 14. David A. White remains acting chief of police today, while Chief Seymour, in the down- stairs office at police headquar- ters waited patiently for the district captains' reports, which were sent to White Instead. Ia Judge Seawell's court one or two Attorneys appeared and were curtly told that the judge did not care to hear any more) arguments In the case, and that when he got ready to sign more orders, If he ever did, both sides will be notified in advance. No orders were issued today, and the tangle in police affairs has not yet been straightened out. Roasts the Tariff. . Washington, June 14 Vic- tor Berger, the Wisconsin So- cialist, in the house today made his first oratorical effort, speak- ing on the Underwood wool schedule bill. He pledged his support to the measure as one that tended "to destroy tariff superstition.'' He denounced the protective tariff as a fallacy, saying: Some time there will be a vol- canic eruption. Fearful retribu- tlon will overtake the capital- istio class, as a class, and the Innocent will suffer with the guilty."

Arrested by Foundniaster. The charge against the mayor was the "cutting of a corner" on State and Commercial streets, and he was arrested by Pounmaster Irvine. Sev eral weeks ago Chief of Police Ham ilton in order to avoid collisions and accidents on the streets began a rigid enforcement of the ordinance and delegated Poundmaster Irvine to en force it. Hewing right to the line ter had to his credit the first day eight or nine arrests for violations of the traffic ordinance and the speed ordinance. Yesterday when he as certained that the mayor had violat ed the traffic ordinance by "cutting a corner" at the intersection of State and Commercial street, being no re specter of titles or persons, he ar rested the mayor and had a charge preferred against him before Judge Elgin. Pleads Extenuating Circumstances. When the mayor appeared before Judge Elgin to answer to the charge he pleaded extenuating clrcwn- stances, and the judge after listening and considering the story he told, gave him the benefit of the doubt and released him without requiring him to pay a fine. "I was not quite as dlctorial with him as he was with me the other evening at the council meeting when he insisted upon me reading a vol uminous ordinance levying a street assessment," said Judge Elgin when question In relation to the case and he chuckled to himself as he thought of it. 'The mayor explained to me that he was driving a colt and that the animal had been driven but a few times. He stated that it was neces sary for him to cut the corner to avoid a collision with a street car- to avoid an accident Occupying, as he does the highest position within SUITS CAN BE TRIED tlEHT JULY Judge Kelly Holds That Con demnation Suits Can Only Be Tried at a Regular Term, Which Begins First Monday in July.

Standard Percales, yard r - i-t 01 On 1 An Ginghams, yard ac, oyic o t .., 5c. 6c, 8 l-3c and up Judge Kelley has refused to allow right of way condemnation suits to be started by the Oregon Electric ex cept on the first day of the regular term of court, the first Monday in July. The trial of a suit involving the right to title In property can only be brought at a regular term of court, when the suits had been start ed since the last term of court. No settlements have been made with property owners in the past week in or near the city. It is re ported that the right of way depart ment has raised its offer to cross the Douglas Minto property from $3500 to $5000, and it was refused. The Minto property is one of the nicest homes on the water front in South Salem. It is reported that Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown have given an op tion on their property on Front street for $18,500. The right of way force consists of Mr. McDowell, F. N. Der by and E. M. Crolsan, with McNary Brothers for legal advisers for the corporation. A writer in the Statesman speaks of "obstruction tactics," and used by ; opponents along the right of way, and then eoes on to say: Charge Obstruction Tactics. "Although the Oregon Electric peo ple are willing to pay whatever the courts shall adjudge reasonable In the various condemnation suits now pending in the circuit courl, it seems that they are not to have a chance to do so before the July term of court at least. "The right of way men for the Or egon Electric say that the only trou hi thev have experienced has been in rottine out of the city and the im mediate vicinity, wnicn wouiu mui cates that the urban property owner is not as appreciative of the benefits of a rail line as the rural resident. "It is to be sincerely hoped that the same tactics will not be employed throughout the trial of these cases. What Buslwss rcoplc Sny. Prominent bualneBS people of this city who have not settled with the Oregon Electric all say that no ob- structlve tactics have been employed but that on the other hand no effort has been made to settle on any fair terms. One man said: "All who could be, were beaten down to mere nominal prices for right of way, and then those terms were used to In timidate others, and threats of suits followed. In some cases not five min utes was taken to look Into the mer its of a property owner's contention. The attorney for the Oregon Electric looked at one of the finest residence properties just five seconds and de cided what was "Just and equitable" from the standpoint of the corpora tion. Prices are offered of one-half and one-quarter for right of way of what is paid for property right along side, and so far all the unfairness haB not been on the side of the prop erty owners." "The methods of handling these matters have antagonized business men and the most progressive and public spirited citizens have got out of patience with the unfair methods employed. If the general public knew all the details of the practices that have been resorted to, there would be general indignation on the part of the people towards the Ore gon Electric Instead of the general good will that has been shown. The newspaners have kept the whole mat ter under rover, and It is not sur prising that a great many are pre ferring to submit their claims to the sober judgment of a jury." Mexico City, June 14. When' Francis I. Madero, Jr., revolutionary leader, returns tonight from his speech making tour plana discussed by the executive session of the cabi net last night for dividing great rural estates will be presented to him, ac cording to one of the cabinet officers today.

While th expedition against the Mngonlstas tn Lower California awaits the repair of washed out railroads between Juar ez and Chihuahua, Magonlsta agents are carrying on a lively campaign for recruits here.
