THE PLANS FOR THE CITY HALL.

THE PLANS FOR THE CITY HALL.
The earnest determination display
ed by certain members st the city
council to adopt the city hall plans
without delay is worthy OF a cause
more pressing Il should be borne In
mind that this kind OF haste carries
In It's wake opportunity for regret, as
Il affords chances for mistakes The
building Of city hall is a matter that
should require both time and good
Judgment Il does not appear that
there is any excuse for being In such
hurry There are only two appAr-
ent reasons for rushing this matter;
the hrst is that kind of wisdom known
as being penny wise and pound
foolish and the second is an unreas-
enable fear that the people will want
better building than seems to be
contemplated by anything SO far
shown IN the council meetings. The
Courier hopes that the plans will not
be adopted tonight as there are many
taxpayers interested and it will only

structure that our citizens will not es
ashamed OF in the future. Everybody
knows that this city viii continue tc

THREATEN DISBARMEkT
PROCEEDINGS R. G. SMITH

Attorney r. G. Smith OF Grants Pass
have been drawn up, in which Attor-
ney Smith is accused OF misappropri-
alton Of s4,825 of the funds OF the
Cleopatra Development company, a
concern owning mining property in
Del Norte county, Cal The charges
originated in Seattle and the alleged
plan is to bring disbarment proceed
ings before the Oregon supreme
court.
The first news OF the matter IN
Grants Pass came last night when
the Oregonian correspondent here re-
ceiyed a message from his paper to
get a statement from Attorney
smith. This was done and appears
in the oregonlan today; also in The
Courier
The charges, while given public
ity by the Oregonian have not yet
been filed with the supreme court.
This action Of the oregonian in print
ing the charges before they were filed
is censured by the mayor, who this
afternoon said
Il knew nothing OF the matter un-
iii last night. The publication Of the
article in The Oregonian today shows
conclusively that II was for political
reasons. The publication OF com
plant Of this kind that has never
been filed is something that never oc-
CURED before. A copy Of this was
sent to the Oregonian and the Ore
gonian published It knowing that 1t
had not been filed. The statements
in the article are false and SANDER

There is absolutely nothing in the
matter that will not bear the fullest
investigation. It is simply an attempt

replied Mayor Smith, who had re-

stated the property owners had dis
cussed the matter and had decided
that as it was a regular water course
BY which all property along the

bear the cost; they were willing to
bear a portion, but not all the cost.
The opening must be 4x5 said the en-
gineer. little wider than deep, to al

Mclean said the matter should be
settled quickly, as the residents ask

the work begin at once. After con-
siderable more discussion the ques-
ton was referred to the street COM
mittee in the hope that the problem
would be solved.
An ordinance to fix compensation
of election judges was read the sec

fixed in the ordinance, but the blank

Girl Charges
Robbery, Too

Violet Monroe, % years old, who said
she lived in New York, appeared be-
fore Judge Hahn. in the First Precinct
Court today, with 'black eye and
swollen lip, which she said was caused
by being thrown out of a hotel about
3 o'clock this morning. She also said
that a diamond ring and diamond
earring were taken from her before she
was fired out"
Policeman Quinlan, who brought the
woman "in," said he found her lying
on the sidewalk in front of the hotel
screaming and that she claimed she
had been robbed in the hotel, but that
she was SO much under the influence
of drink that he locked her up for safe
keeping.
Violet said that she and some friends
had spent the night in Caldwell and
found that they had missed their train
and went to the hotel to have some
thing to eat and drink. She added
that when they arrived at the hotel a
waiter told her a friend of hers wanted
to speak to her in the barroom, and
that the friend in question began to
abuse her and that the first she knew
she was lying on the sidewalk, with
her jewelry missing, but she recovered
the ring, which was found in the hotel
later. Judge Hahn fined her $40 for
being disorderly and creating distur-
bance, and asked the police to inyesti-
gate the robbery part of the case.

isfy the creditors.
Referee Adams declared the petition
for sale should be filed at once. He
added that those in favor of compo-
sition would have time to act before
the sale was made. Counsel for the pc

ties We're about $4,000.

COTTAGE FOR INCURABLES
WANTED AT ALMSHOUSE

The committee in charge OF the
building of the new almshouse has
been asked to add to their plans a
separate cottage for incurables. In a
letter to the chairman of the commit
tee today the Bureau of Associated
Charities, through Secretary Arthur w
MacDougal, asked that "in its prepara.
tions for the new almshouse the COM
mittee consider the advisability of in
Guiding a separate cottage for incur
ables. The letter calls attention to
the fact that there is no such building
in the city and that It is advisable for
obvious reasons that patients suffer
ing from incurable diseases should bt
segregated from the other inmates
The suggestion will be taken UP at the
meeting of the committee Thursday
evening.

eating raw smoked ham at Dumont.
The victim is Mrs. Katrina Beck, aged
40, wife of Fritz Beck an architect.
Beck, aged about 40, and his niece.
Emma Bauer, aged IA, are In most
critical condition and no hopes are
entertained of their recovery.
The family we're happy when they
received as a New Years gift several
Westphalian hams from Germany, and
they, as many Germans do, ate some
of the imported ham raw, it being
smoked and cured. All three be-
came ill. The germ was well seated be-
fore medical aid was summoned. The
victims were seized with a fever as
weakening as typhoid, and the muscles
in the entire body are affected, caus-
ing complete exhaustion and weaken
ing of the heart. Mrs. Beck finally
succumbed, and the news of his wife's
death was quietly conveyed to Beck.

ATTORNEY MUST
PRODUCE CLIENT
Elizabeth Lawyer Declares That
He Will Not Advise
Testifying.

Declaring that he would not advise
his client to testify in regard to her
marriage, jeremiah A. Kiernan, a law
yer, of Elizabeth. stated that he was
ready TO be adjudged in contempt of
court.
The trouble came when Herman $
client, Mrs. George H. Stewart, OF 521
Linden avenue, Elizabeth, refused on
Kiernans advice to testify in a suit
against her husband, George H. Stew
art, an electrician. The suit was
brought by Miss Mary Decker, a pretty
girl, % years of age, who alleges she
was married to Stewart at Paterson
on May 10. 1908.
She asked for an annulment OF the
marriage on the ground that Stewart
already had a wife. The annulment
case was heard before special mas
ter. j. II. Thayer- Martin, at Elizabeth.
The first Mrs. Stewart refused to tes-
tify and disobeyed a subpoena to APP
pear before the special master. An
other subpoena was issued and Mrs.
Stewart appeared in court but refused
to testify On advice of her lawyer,
Kiernan.
Today Vice Chancellor stevens told
Herman IL Mrs. Stewart did not tes-
tify in regard to her marriage, and
sign to her sworn testimony she
would be held In contempt.
I'm the one TO be held in contempt
said Kiernan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart were married
in Philadelphia six years ago. Miss
Decker, who is young and pretty, was
known to them both, and for a time
worked in the Stewart home.
Neither Mr. Stewart or his first wife
deny the second marriage. William
Ripley Cobb, who is counsel for the
second Mrs. Stewart, says that he may
| be compelled to bring criminal actor
against Stewart.
There was some question of the
statute of limitations being invoked tS
make invalid the case brought by Mary
Decker Stewart.
Chancellor Stevens ordered Mr.
Kiernan to produce his clients befor,

tions pertaining to the marriage o
