RECEIVER IS
TO Be APPOINTED
FURNISH INTERESTS WIN
CONTEST IN COURT
Authority of Officers VIII be Limit
ed-Judgc Phelps Has Not Yet
Named the Man.

A receiver is to be appointed to
take charge of the books, notes, con-
tracts and other papers of the Inland
Irrigation company but there will be
limitations to his authority, if the de-
Cision handed down by Judge Phelps
late Saturday afternoon is fulfilled.
a receiver was asked for by the Fur
nish people and the Coe attorneys
answered by stating their willing
ness at all times to surrender such
contracts, notes, etc, but asserted that
they should not be made to turn over
the private correspondence of DR.. Coe
nor the books of the Columbia Land
company, Goes own company, which.
they alleged, was the end sought by
the plaintiffs.
In granting the request of the Fur
nish attorneys for a receiver, Judge
Phelps specifically stated that such
receiver should take possession OF
only such books, notes, contracts and
other papers as belonged to the In
land Irrigation company, but, if it
were found that there had been an
intermingling of that companys ac-
counts with the accounts of the Co.
lumbia Land company or with DIR.
Goes private accounts, the receiver
should be permitted to take transcripts
of such entries as related to tran
sactions of the Furnish company, and
that he should also be permitted to
take transcripts OF any correspond
ence that related to unfinished busi-
ness of that company.
The decision was not altogether to
the liking of the Furnish attorneys
and they were granted until Wednes-
day to file authorities whereby the
judge has no right to so limit the
jurisdiction of the receiver

PORTLAND HAS
STREET CAR WRECK

Portland, Ore, Feb. 13.-Becoming
uncomfortable at First and Madison
streets at o'clock Saturday after
noon, a Hawthorne avenue car ran
wild all the way across the Haw-
thorne bridge, crashed through the
crossing gates at East Water street,
caused the death Of one man, others

mediately, according to passengers on

(By Charles p. Stewart }


Lisbon, Feb. 4.-(By Mail to New
York .)-The greatest surprise he
new republican administration Of
Portugal has met with has been the
delay by other epublics-particula
the United States--in recognizing the
new government.
1--WE are anxious for recognition" ;"
Foreign Minister Bernardino Macado
said to me, "and we took 1t
for granted that your nation was
great enough and independent enough
to grant 1t without waiting for the
great monarchles to do so first"
ITO what do I attribute the delay?
Well, there is the matter OF the PAN
anna canal. America may feel that
she will need England's support in
connection with that enterprise. Per-
haps the Washington administration
Is wanting to know what the British
would like.
president Taft's reference to the
new republic as de facto' govern
ment proves dstasteful to Portugal
"De F'acto" Term Displeases.
"Why should the phrase de facto'
republic Of Portugal?" Macado said.
"any more than TO the government
OF the republic Of the United States?
Both OF them derive their powers in
the same source-the will of the peo-
pie"
In the organization Of the perma-
nent government of Portugal, Maca-
do said that the trainers of the con-
stltution would probably be govern
ed more by the French parliamentary
model than by the American system,
admitting that the other systems place
too much power in one mans hand.
Said he: what we propose to do is
to give the people through a just
government, an opportunity to i'm
prove their own condition"
VIII Not Lower Taxes.
To this end there will be no at
tempt to lower the exorbitant tax rate
in Portugal but a serious effort will
be made to give the people honest re-
turn on their money.
The people are accepting the die
tum in way that can only lead to
trouble. II the trouble fails to i'm
prove conditions, the people are sure
to turn against the present govern
ment-republican again-but It will
surely be a worse government than
the present one, for there are literally
not enough competent and incorrupt-
ible men in Portugal to form another
as good as the present one. So, I
am convinced, there will be success
sive upsets until some man steps in
to the situation with strength enough
to establish order by the use of force.
Macado says Portugal has no Tag
gressive military plans" for the fu-
ture and that while the constitution
al convention will likely provide for
brief compulsory military service, the
army will be maintained only for de-
fensive purposes and for use in the
colonies. There is absolutely no
chance of Portugal forming a union
with Spain.
VIII Not Restore King.
One thing that Macado convinced
me of was that there will be no re-
storation of ex-King Manual, no mat
ter what the outcome of Portugal's
governmental efforts are.
Nor are there any indications Of
the slightest hope for the pretender,
