COUNCIL ORDERS old
HYDRANT BILL PAID


The curtain was rung down on the
famous hydrant water case when the
city council at the meeting last
night ordered the bill Of the Salem
Water Light and Power company paid,
This is the case in which the public
service commission raised in 1914 the
hydrant rate to the city from 81 .s2
a month to so so. The city refused to
pay and after waiting a time, the wa.
ter company brought suit.
About five years ago everything
was peaceful between the city and the
water company and there was no con
tention about the $l.92 a month the
city was paying for its hydrants. But
at the meeting Of the council March
Is, 1914, q resolution was passed, ask.
ing that the railroad commission. in
adjusting the rates Of the water com
pany for private users, take into con-
sidoration the price charged for hyd-
rants, and If the rate was too high or,
too low, that it should be adjusted.
The commission did just what the
city was not expecting That was, to
lower the rate for private users and
to raise the hydrant rates. Although
the council asked the commission to
adjust hydrant rates, when the rate
was raised, the city would not pay.
The water company first sued in the
U. s. district court of Portland but
lost on a matter Of jurisdiction, as the
amount involved did not exceed $4,000.
Later, the water company brought suit
against the city in 1917. and the city
lost.
The case was then appealed to the
L. S. circuit court Of appeals at San
Francisco. This court also decided
against the city and there was then
nothing left fer the city to pay or ap-
peal to the supreme court OF the Unit
ed States. The city decided to pay.
The judgment against the city in
the district court Of appeals was for
S13.4l2 .99. This is for the account
from October Of 1914 TO April Of 1917.
The bill from April Of 1917 TO April Of
this year is sll ,2l9 IS. These two,
along with interest and court expeas-
es bring the total claim Of the water
company against the city up to s25,-
GOA. .22 and this is the amount that will
be paid within a few days.
The city will not be obliged TO dig
down for this whole amount. Each
month there has been set aside in the
hydrant fund an amount equal to the
81 so a month for each hydrant. These
warrants have been offered the water
company and have been refused. There
is set aside for what would have been
paid at 81 .s2 a month, the sum Of
sl7, ,04l 20.
When the higher courts awarded
Judgment against the city it also in
eluded interest. During the five years
the city has been fighting tnc water
company on the hydrant rate ef $3.50
there has accumulated interest Of
something over $500 and this amount
is included in the total $25,6e4 22.

PORTLAND DOCTOR
PAY PENALTY ORDERED
Supreme Csgnt SustainS Con-
ViChOn For Assault On
Young GIRL

| Important and representative among
the ssses passed upon by the supreme
feourt during the past week was that of
State of Oregon VS.. W. E. Mallory, a
Ipraetieising "naturOpath" of Portland.
This is a case in which the complaining
witness is a 17,year-Old country girl
Iwho taking course of massage treat
ments for goitre and other arieetiOns.
The testimony goes to show that on all
the weekly visits of the girl to the
! physician S office she was accompanied
I by her mother; but that on one occasion
she was allowed to go alone; that in
this instance the doctor took advantage
of the mothers absence and the inni-
eenee of the girl to make unseemly ad-
vanees and that finally he committed
a statutory crime. In the trial In Judge
| Cavanaugh s court in RyuaaSrlan coun-
ty, he was found guilty and appealed
| to the supreme court on the ground that
the directly uneorroborated testimony
of the girl was not sufficient TO convict.
and that the court erred in not SO in.
strueting the jury. After careful con.
sideration Of all the legal questions IN
volved, Judge Johns held that the de-
fendant had had a fair trial, that it was
immaterial as to whether the indiet-
ment applied one term or another to the
crime, and that in the interests Of ius-
tiee the decision of the lower court
should be affirmed. justices Mc,srido,
Bean and Bennett eoncurred in the
opinion.
| Another case was that of Jacob
Schneider vs. George TapfeT, appealed
from Multnomah county, in Which q Gl.
eision is written by Justice Bennett.
This is case in which, following di-
voree proceedings, the husband, srhnei-
der, brings suit for damages against his
father-in-law, Tapfer, for the alienation
of his wife affections. The point at
issue was as to the admission Of hearsay
evidence on the part of the uaivnuant
regarding the character of the wife, the
defendant alleging that the court erred
in admitting such evidence, wn,ea went
to show that defendant had condonod a
criminal act on the part of his wife. In
his opinion Judge Bennett eQacludes;
"Such declarations of the alienated
spouse are hearsay in nature and are
very dangerous in character, and should
only be admitted when they clearly
bear, upon the relations of husband and
wife, and then the court should clearly
inform the jury that they are admitted
for that purpose only" He held that
the case-which in the lower court gave
damages to the plaintiff in the sum Of
l4,000-should be remanded for new
trial instead of being arbitrarily dis.
missed.

Francisco, the Z, S. circuit court Of
appeals concludes the opinion harded

rates to be charged and paid. We be.
lieve also that as the city had no pri-

sought > readjustment of rates for

All of which may not be especially
clear 10 the laymap, but il means that
the city lost its ease, that the water
company won and there was nothing
10 do but pay or appeal to The U. S.
supreme court. The city council last
night decided to pay and the money
is ready for the water company.
