LATTER WILL ACT TODAY lrfprr6 Kinging Statement of Hi Candidacy Keynote Is Opposi tion to IYanehise Grabbing. Campaign Grows Warm. John P. Coffey and Pan Kellaher are the latest avowed Republican candi dates for Mayor. Coffey will file his declaration with City Auditor Devlin today and Dan Kellaher filed his yes terday. Now there are but two Repub licans remaining who have been talked of as being candidates for Mayor Lane's seat, and who have not made their ambitions a matter of record at the city hall. !. Zimmerman and Col. Tharlaa K. MoDonell have not yet filed their declaration, hut it is expected lhat they will do so within the next few days. Thi- tiling of declarations by Coffey nd Kellaher is a mere formality, for It has been well known among the par ty leaders for weeks past that both would enter the race for Mayor. Though Kellaher filed his petition yesterday Ifternoon. for several weeks his friends had been exceedingly busy on the Kast Side, feeling the pulse of the vot ers In that rapidly growing section of the city, and they are confident that Kellaher will get th lion's share of the votes there where he Is well and very favorably known, and will also give the other candidates a hot run on the West Side. The Kellaher sup porters have figured It out that he will poll the largest vote of any can didate across the river, and with this aa a nucleus, because of his standing as a business man. will make heavy Inroads Into the vote cast on this side. Mr. Coffey ha framed his declara tion of principles and he believes that they will call the taxpayers and all those who are Interested In making Portland a great city to his aid. He handles without jrloves the franchise problem and those who hope to get gifts from the city. Franchise grab bers and the powers that prey and wax fat and arrogant by getting some thing; for nothing will find no solace READY TO ENTER MAYORALTY RACE. 'lifil'lilililii H6&F '"'iiiflBor John B. Coffey. In his platform. Coffey hits straight out from the shoulder. If you think he does not, read his declaration. Here It is: Text of Coffey Declaration. To T. C. Devlin. Auditor of the City of Portland. Cr., and to the members of the Republican party and the electors of the City of Portland, in the State of Oregon: I, John B. Coffey, reside at No. 449 Ben ton street. Portland. Or., and my postofflce address la No. 333 Washington street, Port land. Or. I am a duly registered member of the Re publican party. If I am nominated for th office u Mayor at the primary nominating election, t.i be held in the City of Portland. Or., on the 4th day of May. 1907. I will accept the nomination, and will not with draw, and If I am elected I will qualify as such officer. If I am nominated and elected I will, during my term of office, serve always the pfKtple'a Interests, endeavoring at all sea sons to protect them against rapacity of corporations. franchise-grabbers, grafters and others, who would filch from the people their money, their rights and their streets. I will give small property-owners equal con sideration with large property-owners and will require honest expenditure of every dollar of taxes levied on their toil, their Industry and their savings. I will enforce the law. encourage new In dustries, endeavor to spread the fair name of our city abroad and fight graft every where. I desire that the following statement be printed after my name on the nominating ballot: "I am for the people, not for spe cial interests." JOHN B. COFFEY. Kellaher Enters With Vim. Councilman Kellaher has swung into the Mayoralty fipht with a vim. He will say on the ballot "A Mayor for the whole peo ple," and in his platform he says: If I am nominated and elected I will be Mayor of the whole people. N6 favoritism will be shown and I will strive to give a fair, honest administration regardless of personal friendships or political influences. I will accord public service corporations the same privileges as shown private Indi viduals anil will worlt for their regulation. I will strive- to make a greater and better Portland. At last, in this campaign, a Democrat has shown true courage. T. J. Concannon has the honor of being: the first of his party to file his declaration. A host of the followers of Jefferson have been talk ing of running for office, but so far Mr. Concannon is the only one that has filed his declaration. Mr. Concannon did this yesterday, and Is out strong for the berth of Councilman from the First Ward. C. W. Piggott. who made his announce ment as a candidate for Councilman from the Sixth Ward at the meeting held re cently by the South Portland Republican Club, filed his declaration yesterday. Mr. Pipgott will have as his opponents John M. Mann and Councilman Beldlng. Coun cilman Beldlng will try to succeed him self, and tt was he and Mr. Mann who started the Republican campaign with a whoop last Wednesday night. The three cornered fight In the Sixth Ward will wax interesting and warm from now on until the primaries, for Mr. Mann Is hot on the trail of Councilman Beldlng. For several days past cards bearing the r ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY FOR MATOR. : Councilman Ian Kellaher likeness and declaration of principles of George M. Hyland, OouncIlman-at-Large, have been' In circulation. Backed by a host of friends, Hyland promisee to make a whirlwind campaign. FAVORS ITS SUBMISSION Judiciary Committee Approves Char ter Amendment for Public Docks. The judiciary committee of the City Council yesterday recommended to the Council that the cnarter amendment allowing an appropriation of $500,000 for public docks be submitted to a vote of the people at the June election. It is a question whether the Council will adopt the recommendation of the judiciary committee when it meets this afternoon. This amendment wan drawn up by City Auditor Devlin, and there are many of the city officials who favor It. By the purchase of docks to be owned and managed by the city it is planned to regulate wharfage charges, which It Is believed will Increase the business of the port. The same committee yesterday re ported unfavorably the charter amend ment to limit the working hours of employes of the city and those em ployed on public contracts to eight hours a day. City Attorney McNary Is of the opinion that the amendment would apply to the firemen, who are compelled to be on duty nearly all of the time. The charter amendment to annex Rossmere and Belle Heights was rec ommended to the Council, which will probably order that the amendment be placed on the ballot at the next elec tion. J. F. Boothe. the new Councilman from the Fifth Ward, who was elected to succeed W. T. Masters, resigned, attended his first committee meeting yesterday, as a member of the judiciary committee. Councilman Shepherd, re signed, was also a member of the judiciary committee, and George L.. Baker, his successor, will serve In his stead on various commltees.

CAPTAIN CHILC0TT SPEAKS Circular Letter Suggesting Procedure Will Be Sent to All Commercial Bodies, Urging That General Conference Be Called. The advisability of aiding the American merchant marine was considered at a meeting of the Board of Trade last night. Captain Richard Chllcott, who has given the subject careful study, presented the matter before the board, which decided to take the Initiative In a plan to re habilitate the American shipping indus try. A circular letter, suggesting, legis lation for the protection of shipping in terests generally, will be prepared and sent to the commercial organizations of every seaport of the United States, the President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and Senator Gallinger. of the Merchant Marine Commission, with a request for the co-operation of the com mercial bodies, should the plan meet with their approval. It Is proposed to have a convention called later, consisting of one delegate from each state, for the purpose of dis cussing the subject and formulating a bill to be presented to the next Congress for its consideration and enactment. Ia addressing the meeting. Captain Chil eott pointed out what he considered seri ous defects in the bill known as the Gal linger bill, which was drafted by a Con gressional commission and which was de feated after being amended beyond rec ognition. The provision for a direct ton nage subsidy in the Gallinger bill, said the, speaker, had been attacked by mem bers of both houses on the ground that It was unconstitutional. Another feature in the Gallinger bill, that of remitting tonnage dues to American vessels occu pied in foreign trade, is indorsed by Captain Chllcott; who has evolved there from a parallel plan of remission of duties, that he believes would. If carefully formulated, accomplish the desired end and. In a measure, solve the tariff ques tion and prove acceptable to the country as a whole. Captain Chllcott's Views. "A ship is built in England," said Cap tain Chllcott. in presenting the subject. "She Is manned by a crew that receives but a moiety of their earnings during their voyage or until they reach their home port. The vessel Is stored and pro visioned in her home port, all repairs are made there. She comes to us for her em ployment. She must necessarily pa.y port charges, tonnage dues and the cost of loading or discharging cargo, as the case may be. but that is all. The balance, nine tenths of the freight earnings, go to the country where each vessel belongs. Our return is merely the transportation facil ity for our goods. "On the other hand, should we frame a law that would enable the greater cost of operating an American ship to be met, it would not Increase freight rates one particle, but would distribute among our selves all the costs of such operation through the expenditures of the ship and crew, the cost of maintenance and the profits to the owners. "The amount we are said to pay to for eign vessels annually aggregates J500.000. 000. Of this sum. probably not to exceed 6 per cent, or $25.000,fi00. is left in this country. Now should we do half of this carrying trade In our ships at a cost to the Government of JS.OOO.OOO, which would be 10 per cent of the aggregate, and 10 per cent of the whole Is expended in foreign countries, it would leave for general distribution the sum of 5225,000, 000. "The Government would be amply recompensed and we would enjoy some of the prosperity naturally resulting from the transaction of a volume of business of any character. Shipbuilding Encouraged. "The stimulus of ship-building in itself would be conserved to the same extent that the building of a railroad car or locomotive Is. Imagine the terrible howl the people of this country would set up If the cars and the locomotives used by American railroads were built In a for eign country. "The building of ships will afford as much employment to labor and the consumption of as much material as the construction of cars and locomo tives, therefore is equally of as much concern. The maintenance and repair of vessels will be equally beneficial." The matter of securing the co-operation of other commercial bodies along the lines suggested Vy Captain Chilcott was referred to the joint com mittee on Commerce and Legislation. Captain Chllcott was added to the membership of those committees for this particular work. President Nash was selected dele gate to attend the National Peace Con ference at New York City. President Nash was also directed to appoint del egates to attend the Mohonk Arbitra tion Conference. The board Indorsed the proposal of the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor for the rigid in spection of all passenger vessels, their equipment and crews. Such an inspec tion, It is urged, will materially tend to lessen the number of accidents. Sec retary Laber was Instructed to Imme diately notify the Secretary of the De partment of Commerce and Labor of the action of the board. PERS0NALMENTI0ll. J. T.

The Weyer hauser Company operates a railroad from Thrall to Pokegama. which Is supposed to have a dally schedule, but which in fact. Is operated, so Mr. Griffith says, "whenever it gets a load." While at Thrall, rather than wait two days for a train, he had to walk about 30 miles. In the prosecu tion of his business, and consequent ly cannot testify in favor of the regu larity of Northern California railroads. The Weyerhauser road. Mr. Griffith said, has a mall contract which calls for daily service. The hotels at Poke gama and Thrall, are said to profit by the failure of the railroad company to regularly operate Its trains, as pas sengers are often subjected to long and tedious waits, for which there seems to be no good reason, except that "the train hasn't a load yet."
