In the Committee Meeting.

At o'clock this morning the trac-
ton men met with the ordinance COM
mittee of the council and Mayor Muir
,,aS lin the office zoT ...ty Attorney
Raley for the purpose Of going over
the franchise in detail. From that
hour until nearly o'clock the COM
niittee worked hard over the PROPOSE
tlon and those who were there say
that they sweat blood" as never be-
fore.
In behalf Of the city number Of
changes were asked for in the pro-
posed franchise and these were
strongly insisted upon by the alder
men. In the main their desire was to
require a guarantee from the traction
people that the line be built from end
to end and placed in operation within
a specified time.
But Mr. Jones. who represented the
traction people in the committe, held
out obdurately against all changes
and insisted that the company could
not make the desired guarantee
though he claimed that the corpora
tlon was under agreement with the
eastern hackers to have the nterur-
ban line completed.
Guarantee of Three Miles.
Finally II was conceded by the trac-
tion people that the franchise should
require at least three mics of railway
to be built out from Pendleton and in
operation within is months. The
company asks for right of way on
both Court and Alta streets for the
entire length of those thoroughfares.
They represent that they will build
down Court street to the end of the
city and then return on Alta street
Would Bar Competitors.
Another feature over which the
councilmen and the franchise men
locked horns was that of allowing
other lines to use the company's
tracks should they desire to do so /.
At the meeting last night It was rep
resented by the Walla Walla men that |
they did not wish to bar competitors
from the use of their streets and so
would permit other lines to use them. |
But their franchise as worded Is |
not in keeping with their talk 1t !
specifies that the company may per-
nit other concerns to use their lines !

At the conclusion of the committee
meeting at noon the committeeman
and mayor were plainly perpleXed as
to what course they should take. They
resented the refusal of the traction
men to accede to the changes wanted

Fail TO DISCOVER
TRACE OF POISON
(By Associated Press.)

OAKLAND, Sept. mo trace of
poison was discovered in the stomach
or other digestive organs of Mrs.
Daniel Donohue of Emeryville, whose
dead body was buried at Sixty-fourth
and Green street Sunday. Chemist
Benzinger stated he had examined
the organs for all volatile mineral or
vegetable poisons with out result.
The authorities admit that there is
no way of surgically proving the wo-
man was murdered. They also ad-
nit they are without full chain of
evidence against Gustave Ahlstedt,
alias Arkell, whose is under arrest as
suspect. So far there is much
damaging evidence against the pris-
oner, but there is lack of any di-
rect or circumstantial evidence to
show he was with Mrs. Donohue on
the night she was murdered.

those same people were now opposed
to the bill and its author. He refer
red to the late lamented Governor
Sparks as sacrificing his life in a duty
to his people. AS to his own official
course in congress he had been told
it was clear cut and clean and if the
people were not satisfied with it the
best policy to pursue was not to re-
turn him to the halls of congress.
He stood upon the police bill as he
always had and was for the state in
this instance as against his duty to
the national government. His mis-
sion was not to win if he had to be
untrue to these principles; had built
his church upon the rock of peace and
progress in this state and purposed
taking into the campaign the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party and
the principles of the police bill (the
Esmeralda boss wanted to know
where the congressman stood and the
national representative gave the
southern agitator his needings). The
congressman wound up his remarks
by stating that he stood upon the
platform as adopted by the conven
ton and endorsed it from beginning
to end
