FOOL THE FRIENDS OF HANMA Foment Talk That He Is Candidate for President The Real Inspiration for Attempt to Boom the Ohio Senator to Oppose Roosevelt WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. (Special to tho Chicago Tribune.-In view of the op- j Poaching meeting of the NaUonal com- mlttee to fix a time and place for hold- ing the Republican convention, there has be'en a general interchange of views among the political leaders, and particu larly so because members of Congress have been anxious to get at the drift of public sentiment In sections of the coun try remote from their own. It Is impos sible to "find any level-headed politician In either party who has the slightest doubt about the nomination of Theodore Roose velt without opposition. There Is a good deal of curiosity, however, to And out JuBt who Is behind the constantly re curring talk of the possibility of the nomi nation of Senator Hanna. Rumors alleged to be confidential have been circulated In Washington within the last month to the effect that an organized movement has been set on foot In the Interest of Sena tor Hanna, and for tho express purpose of throwing Roosevelt. It has been al leged with much detail that the plot origi nated In Wall street, and that tho sole purpose of the Ohio campaign was to roll up a majority so large as to put Senator Hanna In the center of the stage and therefore force him to becomi a candidate against Roosevelt. These stories have come more or les3 directly from two per sons whose names I could mention, and Who are unfortunately more or less close to Seaator Hanna, but who do not, as I know, represent his views at alL Small Fry Keep Busy. Various persons for purely selfish rea sons have been busily ensrasred for weeks fend months In endeavoring to create a breach In some way between President JRoosevelt and Senator Hanna. The mo tives of these persons are often curious wid different. There is a little crowd of email-bore politicians, all of whom hall from Ohio, and who were to a certain extent natural beneficiaries of the origi nal McKlnley movement, who, not being able to escape from their own diminished horizon, have conceived the idea that they might adff to their own fortunes by securing the nomination of another Ohio President in place of President Roosevelt. It Is this little coterie, I have been in formed, which has gono so far as to send absurd typewritten letters to disaffected white Republicans, and some Ignorant black ones. In the South. The reflex of these letters already has appeared In Southern Democratic newspapers, and this Is exactly what the unlnlluentlal crowd out In Ohio was aiming at. Mistaken Friends of President. There is a small contingent of more or less particular friends of President Roose velt which has been making trouble by bringing to the White House mysterious TWO TICKETS IN FIELD SPIRITED MUNICIPAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN IN MILWAUKIE. City Marshal Expected to Be Placed on Both Tickets, but Was Disappointed. A spirited contest is in progress at the , old town of Mllwaukle between tne can didates on the "Citizens" and the "In dependent" tickets now In the field. The election will be held Monday in the Town Hall and the poll3 will open at 9 o'clock and close at seven In tho evening. The "Citizens" ticket Is headed by Wil liam Shlndler for Mayor, who has Just served six months in that capacity. Mr. Shlndler started the movement for Incor poration and kept it going for IS months before he was finally successful. The os tensible object of Incorporation was to force the removal of the powder houses, and the boundaries were extended around the grounds owned by the powder com- Krause, of the St. Paul German Lutheran panics. The first act of the City Gov- i Church, conducted the services, assisted ernment was with reference to the pow- hy Rev. W. S. Gilbert. Lone Fir Cerae der houses, and the companies gave $1090 tery was the place of Interment. Mr. ibonds to move by next June. This Is Moehle was SI years old and was an old practically all that has been done since resident of Mount Tabor, where he had incorporation, although the water ques- a dairy until tho City & Surburban Rall tlon has been considered. An offer was "way Company built a branch there, when made by a private company, represented he sold his farm. He then moved to by J. L. Johnson, to furnish MInthorn Sunnyside, where he built a house. His Springs water on a 30-year franchise, , He. with whom he lived 55 years, died but Mayor Shlndler and the Council re- , about two years ago. He had been mak- fiiKPrf to civ a franchise lor that lenscm i of time. Isaac Mullan, candidate for Mayor on the "Independent" ticket, represents the former opposition to incorporation and the present antagonists of tho present City Government. He has been a resi dent of Mllwaukle for the past 20 years. He says that Mllwaukle needs water very badly, but on the question of municipal j ownership of the water plant he says that he wants tho people to decide. In this respect he agrees with his opponent, Mr. Shlndler. However, the matter of issuing bonds will not come up at this election, although the question may be an issue. There is a straight fight between the two candidates for Mayor, but the re mainder of the tickets is badly mixed. Jesse Keck, who is City Marshal under the present administration, finds himself j sauarely In the "enemy's camp." He was nominated on the "Independent" ticket against his protest, and when the "Citizens' " ticket was put up he was J turned down. Now he Is very sore. He thought he would bo put on both tickets. ' His opponent Is Professor L. A. Read, i of the public school. Charles McCann, for treasurer. Is on both tickets, as is I O. B. Roberts, candidate for Councilman, j The indications are that there will be a 1 lively contest next Monday. The old pioneer town of Milwaukie, once a rival of Portland, has made considerable pro- 1 gress the past year and promises to do better In the future. MAY RESTORE ONE EYE. Physician Attending B. P. Thompson Holds Out Slight Hope. There is a slight possibility that Ben jamin P. Thompson, the blind mall car rier, living at Woodlawn, may recover the sight of one of his eyes. Mr. Thomp son, it will be remembered, was connected with the Portland postoftlce for a num ber of years, but about a year ago was compelled to give up work on account of his falling sight. He became practi cally blind. The benefit given him netted some $1500, of which nearly $500 was used to settle bills for medical service and clear off debts on his little home. There Is left of this fund $1043, which is In the hands of the trustees of the Letter Carriers' Association. Mr. Thompson has also been receiving weekly benefits from the Woodmen of the World. For some time he has been treated by a skilled physician, who seems to think that one eye may be restored. Mr. Thompson is very cheerful under his severe affliction, and Is not cast down. He feels very grateful to the Letter Carriers' Association and to all who helped In tho substantial benefit g'lven him. FOR PHYSICAL CULTURE. Classes for Girls and Women to Be Formed at Sunnyside. At a well-attended meeting of the Sun nyside W. C. T. U. last night, held In the Boys' Brigade building, It was de cided to organize classes of girls and young women for Instruction In physi cal culture. Mrs. Ross, president, pre- intimations of plotting- going: on In behalf Senator Hanna. The motive of these gg-J ?guSi dlmlnlahed in hQ ahould strlke up a cioso friendship "with bo strong a charac- ter as the Senator from Ohio. These peo ple conceive it to be for their own Inter est to keep Roosevelt and Hanna as far apart as possible, and they are largely re sponsible for many current stories which frequently find their way into tho news papers controlled absolutely by this ele ment In the party. All these are side currents in the po litical ocean. The great gulf stream which is fomenting the talk of Senator Hanna as an adversary o tho President flows directly from a vast circle of boodllng politicians, most of whom live in South ern states. They are not any more in terested In Hanna than they are In Roose velt. What they want is a contest, be cause without a contest the states or dis tricts they assume to control have no pe cuniary or political value. Profit Only by Contests. Southern Republican politicians, a 'few whites, and many blacks have nothing to live for so long as there Is only one can didate for the Presidency within the party line. They were bitterly disappointed because William McKlnley was nominated by acclamation at Philadelphia, and on general principles they would bo glad to have a law passed forbidding all nomina tions by acclamation. Throughout the Southern States, without a single ex ception, this boodle element Is doing its best to provoke some kind of ODDOsition to President Roosevelt and they have en couraged the Hanna boom, as something strictly within the lino of their own busi ness. This does not mean there is not genuine admiration for tho resourceful, bold, and blunt Ohio Senator. Every politician rec ognizes the fact. Senator Hanna has grown wonderfully in the affections of the American people, and If, as an original proposition, he had entered into the fight for the nomination with Roosevelt he would have made things interesting, to say the least. Hanna Resents Gossip. I havo no possible authority to speak for Senator Hanna, but I believe I am correct In saying that he personally resents this talk about his candidacy, and there Is scarcely a contingency under the present conditions which would induce him to be come a candidate against the President. Mr. Hanna opposed a pledge by Ohio to the President simply -because such a course was not In harmony In any way with the ordinary political methods. He knew one state convention could not bind another, and he did not wish Ohio to tie itself- hand and foot so far In advance of the time when any decision as to the sided. On invitation Mr. Babbitt, edu cational and physical director of the T. M. C. A., was present, and addressed the meeting. In a few words he set forth the need of physical culture among girls and women. He said that physical culture was not a fad, but was a necessity. Mr. Babbitt remarked that the branch T. M. C. A. at Sunnyside was ample and well provided with apparatus. A qualified Instructor will be engaged for the classes. The first meeting will be held Friday afternoon after school closes. Principal Curtis, of the Sunnyside school, will encourage the movement. A canvass will be made, and all girls abo"e the age of 6 will be welcomed. If a sufficient num ber come Friday instructions in physical culture for girls and women will become a permanent feature of the branch Y. M. C. A. A shower bath and swimming tank are to be provided. To provide the equip ment $500 will be required. To help meet the expenses the American-Born Chinese Association is planning an entertainment for December IS. Funeral of a Mount Tabor Pioneer.

R. & N. time-card persons deslrlnjr to take the Spokane Flyer for Spokane, Coucr d'Alene and other East I crn Washington points, can now dine at I home (train leaves at 7:45 p. m.) before leaving. The "Portland-Chicago Special" ' now leaves at 8:50 A. M. Presidential nomination would become necessary. I have the strongest possible reasons to believe that Senator Hanna is generously loyal to the President, and he never has made the slightest plan to secure the Presidency for himself. Not only he is not responsible for the current stories, but he certainly feels they are calculated to put him In the position of contemplat ing unusual treachery. His personal friends all declare Senator Hanna has been giving President Roosevelt all the weight of his personal support In and out of the Senate. There- have been differences of opinion between the men, but there never has been a time when there were indications of a rupture. In spite of efforts to make trouble they have been drifting steadily together in stead of drifting apart, and probably un derstand each other better than they did a year or two ago. When the National commltteo meets on December 11 it is quite probable that Senator Hanna will take occasion to make his position per fectly clear and to show he Is not, has not been, and will not be a candidate for ior tne -tresiaency. Vice-President May Be Decided On. At this same meeting also, it is believed, something will take place which prob ably will Indicate the choice of the leaders for the second place on the ticket. The President's closest friends and advisers unite In saying that Senator Hanna can name the man for second place If he so desires. There is an apparent trend of sentiment here toward Senator Fairbanks. The names of four Western Governors, Herrlck, Durbin, Van Sant and Cummins, have been suggested from, time to time, but .no one of them appears to arouso any extravagant amount of enthusiasm. The Fairbanks talk, however, recurs agalnand again, and appears to have a permanency -not possessed by the mention of any other of the candidates It is said that Senator Fairbanks will be slow to accept the place, but his colleagues In the Senate certainly would exercise upon him tho strongest kind of Influence, because they naturally would prefer one of their own number as presiding officer. On all sides there Is a feeling that President Roosevelt would strengthen himself If he could have as his running mate some man who was closely Identified with Mc Klnley's Interests. Herrlck and Fairbanks were both con fidential friends of the martyred Presi dent, but Herrlck Is new to politics, while Fairbanks Is an older head and would certainly attract the support of a great many people who have been taught to be lieve President Roosevelt is unduly Im petuous, but who would be more than sat isfied tovote for so conservative a man and so able a representative of the great commercial Interests as Senator Fair banks. ONLY WHALE BLUBBER END OF THE "AMBERGRIS" EX CITEMENT ON THE SOUND. Captain of the Benjamin Sewall Con firms the Report of the Massa cre of Sailors by Formosans. About two years ago the hunters of the sealing schooner Triumph saw floating in the sea off Altu a whitish, tallowy substance, which they secured. It was pronounced to be ambergris, and tho sealers figured out its value at some where around $30,000. The stuff was brought to Victoria and stored away on tho wharf of the Victoria Sealing Com pany. A few weeks later It was stolen from the wharf and Charles Todd, a hunter, was accused of the theft. He Is said to have been offered $35,000 for it, but refused the offer. Captain Grant and Fred Adams, of the sealing company, were Informed of the whereabouts of the plunder and they secured Its seizure and the arrest of Todd for taking the stuff into Seattle without declaring to the customs on entering his craft. Now It has been demonstrated that it Is not ambergris at all. Professor Byers, qf the Washington State University, finds that the four packages of alleged amber gris which have been slipping around the United States Federal Court for some time are merely whale blubber. He made the analysis "under an order Issued by Judge Hanford, of Seattle, some time ago. He has not filed a formal report, but It Is understood that he notified the court of his finding. The case of the United States versus four packages of ambergris has been In court for some time. Tho defendants were captured by the customs officers last Sum mer In the belief that they were amber gris worth about $50,000. They were taken from a launch belonging to Todd, who took It across the line. There Is no duty on ambergris, but It was seized because RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR OF MILWAUKIE y 4jBH(A " Jsl Isaac Mnllan, It had not been entered at the Custom House as an Import. Then the struggle for its possession began. Two previous analyses by chemists resulted In reports that the stuff was valueless, so Judge Hanford decided to have an official find ing made. It Is probable that the four packages of blubber will be allowed to stick on the hands of the officials until they find means of ridding themselves of the stuff. LIGHT DRAFT BOAT. ' Small Craft to Ply Between Indepen dence and Salem. INDEPENDENCE, Or.. Dec 2. (Spe cial.) Captain George Skinner, who Is building a boat here that he expects to J be able to run the year round between Independence and Salem, states that his boat will be In operation during tho Spring months of 190L The boat Is being built In the Athletic Hall building here and will be, when completed, 65 feet In length, and les3 than S feet In width. He stated that, from the displacement made by the model, and from the state ments of experts with whom he has con sulted, he does not think the boat will draw ten Inches of water, when com pleted. He has decided to name the boat the Independence and he will make two trips dally to Salem and return, but could make more If desired. He states that regarding the bonus which he Is to receive for building the boat, that there has not been a full ex planation of the matter, for he has given 1 tickets for the money advanced, which j he will redeem as rapidly as possible. Mr. Skinner has operated boats successfully on the Willamette River here before. He built a little craft called the Alice A, which ho ran from Independence to Salem. He later built the Valley Queen, which he operated on the upper river for a time and afterwards sold. VICTIMS OF SAVAGES. Captain of Benjamin Sewall Con- firms Report of Tragedy. VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 2. The steamer Iyo Maru, which arrived today from the Orient, brought Captain and Mrs. Hoel stad, of the wrecked American ship Ben jamin Sewall, and he confirms the report that 10 of the crew were killed by sav ages of Tobago Island, off tho Formosan coast. Searching parties found two of the men belongingto the mate's boat, which had fallen Into the hands of the natives. The two, William Relnwald and Julian Callo, had been kept alive to carry wood, and when found were "naked and their bodies were blistered and sore. The clothing be longing to the others and identified by Captain Hoelstad was found in a savage village, where all were killed. What dis position was made of their bodies it was impossible to learn. Those who were killed were Joseph Mor 'rls, third mate; Thomas Pickle and his wife; a Japanese woman, the Chinese carpenter and Chinese cook; Henry Ad ams, .an American negro; Peter Johnson, a Chilean, and three Japanese seamen. Since the ,wreck the United States Consul at Shanghai has received advices from the United States that the dead officer has been left heir to $23,000. The manner of the Sewall's loss was detailed in the Associated Press cables previously. C. A. THAYER IS FLOATED. Lumber Schooner Went Ashore in Gray's Harbor During Gales. HOQUIAM, Wash., Dec. 2. (Special.) The schooner C. A. Thayer, In command of Captain Munson, which went ashore on Damon'B Point, about a milo Inside of the bar, November S, during the fierce storms, was safely pulled off the beach last night and towed to Cosmopolls today. The Thayer was stranded nearly a month ago during the storms which raged at that time, and while waiting outside for a chance to enter Gray's Harbor her rudden was broken and she drifted over tho bar before going ashore. An attempt to float her two weeks ago was success ful until she reached the last breakers, when the eight-Inch hawser broke, and she went ashore again about 1000 feet further up the harbor. The Thayer is owned by the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, of this city, and car ries about 600,000 feet of lumber, and is worth about $35,000. The vessel will go on the sands at Cosmopolls, where .she will be given a thorough overhauling and tho extent of her injuries estimated. CHARTERING OF THE OANFA. Will Make One Trip to San Francisco for the Occidental Line. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 2. The latest development In the trans-Pacific steamer trade of this city, says the Post, Is the chartering at Yokohama by the Occiden tal & Oriental Steamship Company of the British tramp steamer Oanfa.

The Altona, running between Port land and Independence, during ..the fog ran Into the bank in the swift water near a bar where one of the river boats was formerly wrecked, and was eignt hours In reaching Independence from Independent Ticket. Salem. The river Is In bad shape In many places between here and Salem. Larger boats would be able to make the run, if the bars were removed and tho channel dredged In places, which would be but little expense to the Government. Schooner C. A. Thayer Floated. ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 2. (Special). The schooner C. A. Thayer, which went ashore on North Beach several weeks ago, was pulled off by powerful tugs to day and was towed to this city.

Stole Wheat and They Must Answer for It. Uke three little crows in a tree three small boys sat upon a hard bench under the eyes of Municipal Judge Hogue yes terday morning. They were there for stealing wheat from the Pacific Coast Elevator Company. Upon a chair at one side of the cheer less room sat the mother of one of the arrested younsters. She was Mrs. Mary Tooraey, a woman of middle age or more. She watched her child being led from the prisoners" corral at the end of the room. She looked at him for a few mo ments, then she went into a side room until the case was called. The judge wanted to know If Mrs. Toomey wished ball to be fixed for her boy. When she understood the legal term, the mother looked first at the boy and then at the Judge. "If he deserves punishment, let him be punished," she said, with a resolute de termination that saemed about to weak en If she looked longer at her anxious child. Then she left the room and the boys went back to Jail- The case was continued. Petitions for Schooihouse. Petitions to the Board of Education for the erection of a modern schooihouse In Brooklyn are being circulated. These pe titions have been left at all the business places on Milwaukie avenue, and some of the mothers are circulating them. There seems no doubt that a new build ing will be started If the title can ba cleared to the lots bargained for adjoin ing the present school ground. Title to three of the lots Is clear and the dis trict owns them. There has been some delay In securing the two middle lot3 owing to the fact that the owner Is In Alaska.

As a result of a report submitted today by Dr. Ben jamin Lee, secretary of the State Board o fHealth, who was detailed to investigate the typhoid fever epidemic at Butler, Gov ernor Pennypacker directed the Auditor to draw a warrant for $2000 for the relief of the sufferers. A quarantine officer will be sent to investigate the water system. Dr. Lee says that it is Impossible to as certain the number of case's.
