' At the meeting: of the executive com mittee of the Republican League of Ore gon, held at the office of Secretary J". P. Kennedy, in the Hamilton building, yes terday afternoon, three members were present In person and three were present by proxy. Of the others, one, I. A. Macrum, was dead, and the other, G. W. Johnson, of Dufur, was unaccounted for. Those present in person were President J. M. Church, of La Grande; Secretary J. P. Kennedy, of Portland, and Fred W. Mulkey, of Portland, National -League vice-president John TV. Meldrum, of Clackamas County, was represented by the old war horse, George A. Steel, who grudgingly took the time from his farm ing operations to attend to this sacred duty. Theodore Cameron, of Jackson ville, and TV. H. Moore, of Mbro, had Bent their proxies to the secretary. Steel as a Former. TVhlle waiting for Committeeman Mul key to assemble, Proxy Steel delivered an encomium on vetches as a farm crop. He. said it be"at anything as a food for cattle. His horses and cows would leave any other fodder on the place, even pie, to get at vetches, Summer or "Winter. And then the yield was so -prodigious that It was a very profitable crop to grow, and easy on the land. Mr. Steel spoke so familiarly pf farmers that his hearers began to pity him for being forced into the nefarious game of politics, but. when he spoke of having electric lights jn his barn all sym pathy was withdrawn. .That kind ot a: farmer cannot, excite pity in Oregon President Church 'gloried In sugar beets. He said the crop, in the Grand Ronde Valley this year would turn out a third greater than ever before, and double that of last year. Peopie of that favored val ley are catching on to the knack of sugar beet culture, and are making It a success. All this was much more interesting end important than a perfunctory committee meeting, but it was cut short when Com mitteeman Mulkey arrived and" the busl ness for which the meeting was called was taken up. The first thlnjr on hafia was election of a successor to the late L A. Macrum, of Forest Grove, who was not only a member of the committee, but vice president of the league as well. To cut a long story short. Proxy Steel said he would nominate John D. Daly; of Co'rval lis, for the vacant position, both as com-, mltteeman and as vice-president. - The nominations were duly closed, by motion formally carried, and Mr. Daly was elected by acclamation. Apportionment of Delegates. The last order of -business was-selection of 14 delegates to the National Republican League, which will meet in Chicago Octo ber 2-3. In this duty the committee was guided by the following paragraph from the National League constitution:" The National convention shall be composed of six delegates-at-large from each state or ganization in the league, and- four delegates from each Congressional district in which there shall be one or more Republican League clubs, together with the president and the secretary of each state. league, and all officers of the National organization, who shall be ex offlclo delegates. First came the selection of six delegates from the slate at large. President Church said he understood that Governor Geer and TV. S. Duniway had received invita tions to go over inio Ohio and spellbind the voters of that state, and he thought it would be convenient for them to repre sent Oregon Republicans at the National League meeting in Chicago while they were In the East. They were at once put down for delegates. Proxy Steel said he also had received a very flattering invita tion from the Ohio campaign managers, who spoke of his great efficacy on the stump, and craved the boon of his favor for a few days of Impassioned oratory In the Miami Valley. He, who had never made a stump speech in his life, thought this a good joke; and so did the others, who put him down fpr a delegate. George TV. Hazen, of Portland; J. L. Rand, of Baker City, and John D. Daly, of Corval lis, finished the list o delegates at large. Full Delegation Provided. From the First Congressional District there were selected H. E. Ankeny, of Jacksonville; Claud Gatch, of Salem; TV. A. Carter, of Gold Hill, and TV. A. Howe, of Caxlton, Yamhill County. As delegates from the Second Congressional District, Senator Simon, of Portland: B. L. Smith, of Hood River; Thomas C. Taylor, of Pen dleton, and TV. TV. Steiwer, of "Wheeler County, were namtd.v, All tnese were informally elected and the secretary was instrucied to noiify them of the fact, and to request that if any of them could not attend the meeting proxies in blank ""be executed and sent to the sec retary, to the end that Oregon should be properly represented, e'en if by proxy. It was presumed that the secretary would Lave knowledge of those who will go, and that he- would turn the proxies over to them. The secretary is also to notify Mr. Daly of his election. Then the meeting ad journed. PERSONAL MENTION. Ex-Senator John B. Allen, of Seattle, is at the Portland.

He says that, .grants have been secured for about half the distance. There are yet about two dozen farmers who- have not yet made concessions in the line of the. road, but they are all willing to do so. The right of way is to be 20 feet wide, and the survey is all complete to Hlllsboro. "We are all greatly interested In this project," said Mrt Heldle, "and are going-to carry It through without fall. We trust that Portland citizens are disposed the same way." .The members of the committee are J. H. Sewell, John Shute, J. A. Emhlll, An drew Egglman, Colonel Harry Haynes and Mr. Heldle. SOUTHERN PACIFIC INSPECTION. Party of Superintendents and Engl-, necrs on Annual Tour. A party of division superintendents" and engineers of the Southern Pacific arrived from the south yesterday morning on a special train of four cars, and .they are engaged in Inspecting the track, right of way and depot property of the Oregon lines of -the company.

General Passenger Agent Craig, of the fO. R. & N., wis at his office yesterday for the first time this month, having Just returned from a trip in the East. Nearly all Union Pacific trains from the East arrive in Portland behind time, and ,two causes are given for it. One is that the traffic Is too heavy, and the other Is that the labor troubles on the Union Pa cific main line delay traffic materially. Chief Engineer L. D. Kinney, of the Great Central Railroad, has so far recov ered from the grip that he was able to be at his office for a short time yesterday. He says everything is proceeding satis factorily at Coos Bay. Ho sent several men out on last night's steamer, among them being I. S. Kaufman, of Spokane, who will be the Coos Bay agent of the Great Central Land Company. Under the encouragement of the South ern Pacifictraffic department the farm ers of the vicinity of Gaston, near the boundary between Washington anH Yam hill Counties, will hold a public sale or -fair at that place on October 8. There have" been pledged for this sale 2300 head of livestock, 1000 bushels of grain, 1000 tons of hay and a large quantity of miscellane ous produce, and much that is not pledged is expected to be there. It is hoped to make these exchange fairs a regular in stitution there, and at other points where they ican be made advantageous. General Freight and Passenger Agent Coman, of the Southern Pacific, yesterday received a letter from'C. H. Markham, formerly In the position now held by Mr. Coman. but now vice-president and manager of the Texas lines of the com pany. In which Mr. Markham speaks of his restored health and his work in the South. He Is pursuing there the same policy that did so much to popularize the Southern Pacific In Oregon. A recent newspaper clipping shows that he is tak ing pains to get railroad favors down to tho producers, the men who till the soil, and that it makes a good impression among Texas farmers. Mrs. Markham is . now spending a few days with Portland friends. MORE POPULAR THAN EVER. The Rio Grande personally conducted excu'rs.ons to the East, through Salt Lake City and Denver.

VITAL POINT REGARDING GIBSON'S CLAIM IS RAISED. Late Charles O. Smith's Estate, Be ins Divided, Affords lawyers Chance to Argue. Judge Sears was engaged yesterday In hearing the motion to dismiss the' appeal In the matter ot the claim of George F. Gibson for 12500 against the estate of the late Charles O. Smith. Smith was a farmer, and he died In the year 1S91. He left 20 acres of land east of Mount Ta bor on the Base Line road, valued at ?2500, and also considerable property 1n the State of "Washington. The latter was administered upon, but nothing was done with the property ii this county, except to turn it over to the heirs, as there were no debts here. The heirs are: Ethel and Charles N. Smith, who were represented by Attorneys Murdock & Moser, ,and At torney S. B. Huston, of Hlllsboro, ap peared for the claimant. The contention of counsel for the heirs . - ', -, , ' . . was that Gibson resided in Washington, while the administration of the estate was in progress, and at least two years afterwards, and never presented his claim and that it is barred by the statute of limitation. Attorney Huston argued, among other things, that Mrs. Smith, who was a Jointdebtor with her husband, had made a payment on the note, which re newed the obligation. In answer to this Attorney Moser as serted that this did not renew the debt against the estate 'under the laws of Washington, but only against Mrs. Smith. Counsel admitted that the payment would have the effect of renewing the claim against the estate under -the Oregon law, but maintained that the Oregon law does not apply, but only the statute of Washington. This claim was disallowed some time ago by Judge Cake, and the administrator appealed to the State Circuit Court. The motion to dismiss the appeal is on the ground that the administrator has no appealable interest. Judge Sears took the matter under advisement. CAPTAIN DENIES CHARGE. Did Not Call Sailor Thief, but Now Calls Him Deserter. W. Ewart, master of the British ship Austrasia, has filed in the State Circuit Court an answer to the damage suit filed against him by Henry M. Van Der molen, who was a sailor on the vessel. The captain denies that he ever used language which charged Van Dermolen with being a thief, although he admits that he did say something about the man having received articles from the slop chest to which he was not entitled. Captain Ewart alleges that Van Der molen is a. deserter from the ship, and states that when he deserted under Eng lish law he forfeited his personal effects. It is further stated in the answer that after Van Dermolen left he sent a man aboard the 6hlp with an order for a tea set, the delivery of which was refused. The case will probably be heard soon, for the reason that the plaintiff has caused a writ of arrest to bessued for the master of the' ship, which can be done In a damage sultwhere the defend ant Is about to leave the country. Un- NEW VICE-PRESIDENT OF OREGON REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. STATE SENATOR less the case can be disposed of before tfie captain sails with his vessel, he will have to give bonds for his release. TRUSTEES ALONE MAY SUE. Point Sustained la Snlt o Creditors of Dead Corporation. Creditors of a defunct corporation can not sue the stockholders to compel them to pay unpaid stock subscriptions. Judge Sears so. decided yesterday in the case of Joseph Falco against M. C. Banfleld. the Kauplsch Creamery Company et al. The court held that the right to sue belongs exclusively to the trustees. The Kauplsch Creamery Company went Into bankruptcy over a year ago. Falco represents himself and, other creditors, and In a complaint which he filed alleged that Banfleld and other shareholders owe several thousand dollars on stock in. the concern which they ought to be made to pay in for the benefit of the creditors. A demurrer to the complaint was filed on the ground that the trustees of the Kauplsch Creamery Company were the proper persons to bring a suit, and the court sustained the demurrer. GIVEN BENEFIT OF DOUBT. Hashes Acquitted of Aiding Others in Robbing Dmnken Man. J. D. Hughes, a young man Jointly charged with J. D. Keenan and Cheater Harvey with the larceny of 55 from the person of -William Cunningham, was tried and acquitted before Judge Frazer yester day. Cunningham testified that one night several weeks ago he made a round of the saloons in the North End. and was held up on Second street by, three men, who took his money from him. He ex hibited the pockets of his pantaloons to the Jury, showing how , they had been torn in the struggle. Cunningham stated that he was quite drunk at the time, and could not identify Hughes as one of his assailants. He said he knew Hughes and had seen him earlier in the evening, and suspected him. .Officer H. T. Gibson testified that he saw Hughes with the other two defend ants, and ran over to where Cunningham AT THE REPUBLICAN-tEAGUE " . was to render him assistance. The offi cer said that when he first observed them Hughes appeared to be helping the other men to hold Cunningham. The jury. In acquitting' Hughes, gave him the benefit of reasonable doubt. Keenan and Harvey have not yet been tried. Hughes demanded and was ac corded a separate trial. RIGHT OF WAY FOR. RAILWAY. Oregon Water Povrer !fc Railway Company Sues Property-Owners. Suit to have a right of way for the Gresham electric road condemned through certain lots and blocks in Kern's Addition, has been filed In the State Circuit Court by the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company against C. W. Miller, Sarah M. Kern, Loyal E. Kern, the German Sav ings & Loan Society and- others. The company and the defendants are unable to agree upon the price to be paid for the land. ' N MAY DELIBERATE ALL NIGHT. Jury in Damage Salt Against Dentist Has Hard Time. The jury in the damage suit of A. J. Delano against Dr. W. S. Drake, a dent ist, was ordered locked up for the night by Judge Cleland. - at 8:30 o'clock last evening. The case was submitted to the jury at 12 o'clock yesterday.

Many Allied Organisations Will Meet at Same Time ns National En campment Great Expense. The plans for inviting the Grand Army of the Republic to Portland for their an nual encampment In 1903 are meeting with considerable opposition!" In the Army Itself there Is a division, and so many objections have been brought for ward that the proposers feel daunted. President F. E. Beach, of the Portland Board of Trade, said yesterday that it would require careful work to formulate efficient plans. "Though I think that the difficulties have been exaggerated." he continued, "some say that we must ex pect 100,000 visitors; others eay 50,000; Well, we can only judge by what the experience of other cities has been; we COMMITTEE MEETING. have no data of our own. I understand that when St. Paul had the national en campment she entertained 250,000, but I do not think any such number would come here. As to room for the meetings of the Army and all its allied organiza tions, there Is plenty here. The armory will accommodate all, even to the vari ous departments that require separate rooms for their meetings. Music and printing could be looked after, I think, by one man at a salary of say $75 a month. This talk of an Immense com mittee of unpaid volunteers Is beside the question, to my mind. "When It comes to entertaining 100,000 visitors and delegates, that we could not do. As things are now, the hotels are full. In fact, I have talked with hotel men, and they do not favor it. Still, it is Just a question of providing accommo dations which the visitors will pay for, and It might be done." When asked for his personal opinion as to the advisability of trying to bring the encampment here in 1903. Mr. Beach said: "I think It would be unwise. I am anxious to see the Grand Army come out here, fpr many reasons, but I must say that I think it would not be wisdom to have it in 1803. I favor 1908. That meeting, if it came here, would likely be the last one on the Coast, for the mem bers are growing old and the ranks are thinning. But If it were understood by the veterans on the Coast that It was the last time, they would flock to Portland to participate. It being the year after the Fair, we would have experience In han dling crowds' ample hotel accommoda tions and a city prepared for such an event." Mr. Beach remarked that San Francisco had considered the advisability of asking for the encampment, but had decided that It was not wise. California much preferred that some other Coast city should entertain this body. Mayor Williams was asked In regard to the probable attitude of the Council. "1 do not think the promoters can look to the Common Council for anything very large," he said, "for we are pressed for money. Personally I would be very glad to have them come here, on condi tion that we can afford It. I understand that an estimate places the expense to the city aT $60,000. I would not be in favor of Inviting them if the cost Is to be so great. There Is one easy way for tho advocates of this :heme to find out what support the city will give, and that Is by bringing the matter up regularly before the City Council on petition." Major Cauklns States Case. Major G. E. Cnukln states his position In the following communication: PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 22. (To the Editor.) Hearing that the subject of ex tending an Invitation to the Grand Army to hold Its National encampment in this city in 1893 is to be laid before a joint -meeting of the several public bodies rep resenting the business public, I think It would seem proper to lay before such bodies and the public certain points that should receive their careful consideration, that they may realize the magnitude of the proposed undertaking before pledging the City of Portland to Its performance. I will first state that at the same time and place the following orders hold their annual sessions, viz: The Grand Army .of the Republic, The Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary thereto; The Sons of Veterans, The Daughters of Veterans, The 'Ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic, The .Naval Veterans' Association. Each of these orders will requlro a suitable hall In which to hold Its ses sions. More Halls Needed. Besides the above, several army asso soclations, like the Army of the Tennes see, of the Potomac, of the Cumberland and others, will require halls for meet ings, and each department of the Grand Army of tho Republic and the Woman's Relief Corps will require rooms for Its headquarters. In addition to the above, at least 100,000 people must be lodged and fed for one week. Whit Is said to be a conservative estimate names $50, 000 as the expenses of the encampment, and personally I would say $10,000 is the minimum. From 1000 to 1200 active workers -must each give the equivalent of from, two to three months of their business time to the necessary work. While the occasion Is a -Grand Army one, the Grand Army Is unable to con tribute anything toward the expenses and but little towards the necessary work, and nearly all must depend on the citizens. I recapitulate actual requisites: Fifty thousand dollars for expenses. Halls for meetings of the orders and as sociations. Ability to provide lodgings and meals for one week for not fewer than 100,000 people. In addition to the ordinary travel at that season. The services of at least 1000 capable workers on committees, able and willing to give at least two months of business time without pay. Who Should Give Invitation. "Should the several public bodies decide to extend an authoritative Invitation to bring' the encampment here, such Invita tion must necessarily' come from The Common Council of the City of Portland. The Chamber of Commerce, The Board of Trade, The Manufacturers Association. Such Invitation should be by a vote of each body separately, pledging itself and Its members to the fulfillment of substan tially the above requisites. With sucb pledges from all the public bodies above named, with the seal of each attached, the Oregon delegation to the 36th National encampment will feel warranted In extending an Invitation for the 37th encampment to meet in the City of Portland in 1903, and the undersigned, speaking for himself alone, wlllpledge himself to use all honorable means to accomplish such result.

No answer has yet been received from either Russia or Austria, at the State Department, in response to Secretary Hay's presentation touching " the Roumanian Jews. More over, it may be stated that no answer is expected from any of the powers upon this subject beyond the usual formal statement that the United States Ambas sadors and Ministers abroad have complied with, the department's in structions to read the notes to the var ious foreign ministers, who have re turned acknowledgments for the same and promises of Its consideration. Whatever correspondence follows on this subject on the treatment of Rou manian Jews probablywIll be exchanged directly between the powers, and In It the United States will have no part. CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS FOR JEWS. Colonial Secretary Takes a Strong: Stand for Humane Treatment. LONDON, Sept. 25. The Roumanian Bulletin, published In London, with the object, as It announces itself, of bring ing to the knowledge ot the civilized world authentib facts relating to Rou manian persecution of the Jews, contains a number of letters from eminent per sona, addressed to the editor. Joseph Chamberlain, the British Colonial Secre tary, wrote: "I am consistently opposed to all per secution on account ot religious belief, and deeply regret the unreasoning preju dice of so many countries directed against the Jews. History shows that the Jews are among the most loyal subjects of the states In which they have found homes, and the impolicy of their persecution Is almost greater than its cruelty." Switzerland Bars Refugees Out. LONDON, Sept. 23. In a dispatch from Geneva, the correspondent of the Dally Chronicle says great Indignation has been aroused at Basle, Switzerland, by the ar rival there of hundreds of Roumanian' refugees, who have come in the hope of finding refuge In England or the United States. Most of them are utterly desti tute,, and have no means of proceeding farther on their journey. The Swiss au thorities will not allow the refugees to settle In Switzerland, because they are destitute. Some of them are In a terri ble! condition, and a visiting doctor found a starving mother holding a naked baby to her breast.
