Mr.. HiIIes Replies to- Mr.

Argument was resumed in Superior
Court today In the case OF the Joint
Building case Robert a. Richards.
representing DR.. Samuel G. Ebert, in
presenting the exception to the return
of the sheriff In the condemnation
proceedings. said there we're twenty
two exceptions in the bill The first
seven exceptions, he said. referred to
the same matter. BY the testimony
produced yesterday It was shown that
on July II the Jury met at 10 o'clock
and we're sworn In in the County
Court room. Neither Dr. Ebert, Mr..
Goodwin nor counsel for same we're
present Mr.. Richards said no op-
lportunitx was given these property
owners to challenge the jurors per-
iemptorily or for cause
Mr.. Richards said Or. Ebert
had been notified that the jury
would visit his premises at IL
o'clock. while the Jurors we're summoned
10 appear az 10 o'clock and actually did
appear at 10 o'clock Consequently DIR.
Elbert was deprived Of his rights.
Furthermore Mr.. Richards argued
that the return OF the writ by the sher.
in did not disclose the fact that the
Jurors had been sworn as required by
law The law sets forth that the oath
administered distinctly directs the at.
tention Of the jurors 20 the benefits
and damages 10 the owner. Before this
return can be confirmed, Mr.. Richards
said, the record must show that the
Jury was sworn as the statute provides
and the sherin's return must disclos'
this fact and the record. As the RECORD
do not show these facts Mr. Richardl
said it is accordingly defective.
Mr.. Richards further argued that
no place in the return is Il shown thai
the jury awarded Dr. Elbert $4,000
as damages for his property.

T0lHEAD OFF LAWSUITS, COUNCIL
Will RELET PAVING CONTRACTS

In order to head off threatened law
less grounds for a suit. the council
last evening. upon the advice of City
Attrney Charles Carter, voted to va
cate the ordinances for the improve
ment of east Webb street and Col
lege street and all proceedings lead
ing up to letting of the contracts sub
sequent to the second resolution. This
means that new bids will be adver-
tised for and new contracts made up
on the new bids.
In view of the decision in the re-
cent Johns VS.. City of Pendleton
case handed down by Judge Phelps,
the city attorney was OF the opinion
tracts would be held void inasmuch
as the question of estopple would
probably not be involved. Judge
Phelps intimated in his decision that
there had not been free and open
competition in the Jackson street
work because of the 10000 yard
clause in the license agreement filed
by Warren Bros. Inasmuch as new
agreement was filed last evening by
which Warren Bros. agree to furnish
their patented top dressing TO all
contractors for 80 cents square
yard regardless of quantity, the new
contract which will be made will not
have this element of danger confront
ing II.
Ralcy Street Next.
Raley street from Bush to Short
will probably be the next street to
be improved. Following the filing
and adoption OF plans and specifica.
tions for the readjustments OF the
grades on this street. the council
unanimously adopted the second res
olution declaring for the improvement
of this thoroughfare with gravel bi
| tulithic.

refused, he said, because by the terms
OF the contract with the old company,
the latter must be protected in its own
territory. This led, he said, to appli-
cation for "a franchise from the city
of Pendleton. The building of a new
system would cost between 100000
and 5000, he estimated, and the only
result would be a dual telephone sys-
TEN for Pendleton, he declared.
He admitted he was selfish in not
wanting a dual system but declared he
represented practically all of the bus
mess men of Pendleton in his attitude.
When asked by Councilman McCorm-
mach why they did not represent
themselves, he stated that, while they
were averse to putting in a second
telephone, they were also averse 10
taking an open stand against such a
project because they did not want to
offend the farmers who composed the
new company. Councilman McCorm
mach declared he was for competition
and that he believed in treating the
farmers right.
Councilman Cole interposed the
question as to whether or not the new
company had not offered to combine
with the old company upon the basis
of appraised valuation. J. N. Bur
CESS, who stated that he was interested
in both companies, answered by de-
claring that such proposition had
been made by the old company but II
had been refused by the new and thai
the old company stands ready to com
promise at any time on such a basis
Council Montgomery stated that he
was not in favor of the dual telephone
system IL 1t could be avoided and
thought that If it could possibly be
done. the differences of the two fac
tions should be amicably settled.
The outcome of the discussion was
that no action was taken by the ordi-
nance committee last evening but the
matter will probably receive serious
consideration before the next meet

Chicago, April 10.-The govern
mCnt has been asked TO take a hand
in the search for the twenty immi-
grant girls who disappeared from a
Baltimore and Ohio train at New
Castle, Pa, more than three weeks
ago. Stirred to action by appeals
from relatives of the girls, President
Silverson of the Norwegian-Danish
Y. NJ. c. A., put the case in the
hands of the department of justice.

day, "even to hazard a guess as to

TELEPHONE WAR
WAGES MERRILY
FRANCHISE is OPPOSED
independent Telephone Company OF
Pilot Rock Wants to Enter Pendle-
ton-P. s. II. and 7. Co., and Pilot
Rock Telephone Co, Strenuously
Fight Such Measure.

Still the war between the new and
the old telephone companies at Pilot
Rock wages merrily. A week ago the
Pendleton council voted to grant
franchise permitting the Independent
Telephone Co. of Pilot Rock, the new
company, to enter PendletOn but when
an ordinance to that effect was pre-
sented last night, vigorous opposition
10 its passage was forthcoming from
officials of the Pacific State Telephone
a. Telegraph Co. and of the Pilot Rock
Telephone Co The ordinance was re-
ferred to the ordinance committee
which will probably report at the
special meeting Friday evening or at
the next regular meeting.
District Manager Van Houtte of the
=. r. & Il. Co appeared In person be-
fore the council and made an extend
ed argument against the passage or
the ordinance. He advocated that
complaint be made to the public SER
vice commission of the state which, he
said. would adjust the differences and
make the rates to be charged.
Mr.. Van Houtte recited his version
of the history of the embroglio, stat
ing that the differences were brought
about because the Pilot Rock COM
pany had decided that 1t must exact
tolls for telephone conversations to
Pendleton in order to make Its sys-
TEN pay. Many of the farmers OBJ
iected to these charges, he said, and
carried their objections to the point

RECOMMENDED MADE TORENAME
AND RENUMBER STREETS OF CITY

At the meeting of the council last
evening. the committee appointed by
President Tallman of the Commercial
association to consider the matter of
remaining and REMEMBERING the streets
of Pendleton, submitted a recommen-
dation which, If adopted will make
radical changes in the street nonen-
clature of the city. The committee
recommends that all of the streets
east of Main on the south side of the
river be known by numbers and west
of Main by letters. On the north
side of the river, it is recommended
that all the thoroughfares be known
as avenues and that those running
north and south be known by num-
bers.
Recommendation is also made that
the houses be remembered, with 100
numbers to the block
The report was referred to the
street committee which will probab
ly consider it a week before report
ing back. The Commercial commit
days that will show the cost of the
changes to be very nominal.
The following is the report in fun:
To the Mayor and Honorable Coun-
ell, of the City of Pendleton:
The undersigned committee. ap-
pointed by the Commercial associa-
tion of the city of Pendleton. to in
vestigate the merits of remaining and
REMEMBERING the streets of the city
of Pendleton do hereby recommend
that Main street shall retain its
name and present location and that
the following streets shall be known
and designated as follows
Cottonwood street to be known as
lst street, Johnson as End street,
Thompson as Bird street, College as
4th street. Vincent as 5th street, Mill
as 9th street Clay and Grange as 7th
street. Market and Lee as Sth street,
Post and Stonewall Jackson as 9Th
street, Franklin and Long as 10th
street, Union as 18th street. State as
18th street, Mission street to retain
its present name. Howard and Bene-
fit streets to be known as 14th streex,
Mason and Turk as 18th street, Pow
er and Hope as 10th street. Hill and
| Transit as 18th street, Boise and Ed
dy as 18th street. Dean and Hyde as
18th street: Stone and Summer as
goth street, East as 21st street, Point
as 22nd street. Wood as 23rd street.
Water street and Lewis street to be
known as Water street
We wish to recommend that all
streets running north and south west
of Main street on the south side of
the Umatila river, be designated by
letters beginning with Garden street
as A street, Willow as B. Cosbie as C.
Aura as d, Lilleth as f. Ann as F,

All streets on the south side of the

/ and south on the south side of the
/ Umatilla river, shall remain as they
/ are now.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-04-10

In naming the blocks east and west
of Main street, the first blocks shall
commence with number /, being so
numbered in such manner that the
blocks will include the ratio of one
hundred numbers to the block, so
when you reach 1st street you will be
at the number 100, then any one
looking for any number in the hun
dreds could go to the street desig-
mated by the number which they
wished to find in that hundred, and
in doing so, would never have to re-
trace their steps in order to find the
number sought, as first street would
begin with 100, End street with 200,
and continue in like manner, with the
right hand side of the street in 60
ing with the numbers, to be desig
mated by even numbers.
We wish also to recommend that
all streets on the north side of the
Umatilla river shall be known as av-
enues, Jefferson street to be known as
lst avenue. Madison as 2nd avenue,
Bush as 3rd avenue, Logan as 4th
avenue Perkins as 5th avenue, Gar
fled as 9Th avenue, Lincoln as 7th
avenue. Blaine as Sth avenue, Grant
as 9Th avenue. Ray as 10th avenue,
Arc as 18th avenue Short as 18th
avenue.
All streets on the north side of the
river not designated by numbers
shall retain their present names, and
to be known as avenues instead of
streets.
In numbering the blocks on the
north side of Umatilla river the
blocks south of Mark avenue shall
commence with number one, the
blocks north of Mark avenue, shall
begin with one hundred, blocks north
of Raley avenue shall commence
with two hundred. the blocks north
of Jackson avenue, with three hun
dred, and other blocks north in like
manner.
We further recommend, that after
the enactment of these provisions
that the City of Pendleton shall
within thirty days, properly place
and maintain. the names. numbers oil
letters on the street corners desig'
mating same.
And that an ordinance be drafted
providing that all property holders
be required to place and maintain the
new numbers on dwellings and places
of business and further, that provi.
sion shall be made for proper en-.
forcement of said ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,

the sewers before pavement is laid.
Errors Correstei.
Two ordinances We're passed last
evening to correct minor errors in
ordinances No. 702 and 7OS which

POPE RALLIES SLIGHTLY, SAYING
THATHE IS Determined NOT TO DIE

DR.. Marchiafava declared the pope
is suffering nothing more severe than
the consequences of influenza. The
doctors blame the patients refusal
to follow their advice for his serious
condition.
DIR. Marchiafava and DR.. Amici
said today that for three days the
pope had refused food, finally this
morning consenting to drink mix
ture of cordial, milk and yolk of
eggs. Physicians now believe the
pontiff has passed the crisis of his
relapse, although the crisis of influ-
enza and fever has not arrived. The
pope is in such weakened condition
that his sisters are forbidden to talk
to him. He slept normally two days
