10 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN. TUESDAY, APRIL 33, 1907. ALL IS HARMONY. AT CLUB MEETING Many Candidates Discuss Is sues of Campaign Before Union Republicans. ONLY TWO SLIGHT RIPPLES 'Club Decides to Meet Again Xext Monday Night, 'When riedges ot Candidates Requested by Committee Will Be Read. I '- If anyone at laat night's meeting of ?the Union Republican Club had any flre Jworks to shoot off, someone must have driven a sprinkling wagon over them, for Ithe (fathering wound up with only two tsquibs. J. Silvestone touched oft a sky rocket when he attempted to call Judge George J. Cameron down because he failed to tell of his political career from 'the cradle to the grave. Silvestone was 'the only speaker that Injected personali ties into what he had to say and he was called to account by A. B. Ferrera. " Fer Irera also started to light up the verbal reworks, but P. A. McPherson called flor a point of order and President John Gill very promptly put the lid on. This little break and the ripple of momentary excitement which was caused Lwhen W. Davis, who at the previous 'meeting had announced that at last flight's session lie would have a list ot candidates for the meeting to indorse, iarose and Inquired about the written iplcdges that were to be extracted from Khe various candidates. Mr. Davis wanted to. know whether any of the 'candidates had made pledges and what iad become of them. W. M. Cake, chair 'man of the city central committee, which Isent out the letters asking the candidates Wor their pledges, tnformed Mr. Davis tnrt those present that a letter had been mailed to earh candidate and that they Uiad been given until April 24 to mall Hheir answers to 'the secretary. Mr. Cake also said that on Friday Buight a. meeting of the central com ("jnlttee would be held, and that at this (meeting all of the lotters received 1-would he read. He also said that at !thls meting action in the form of reso lutions would be taken against all k'andidates who had failed to make the fjdedgos asked of them. This seemed rto satisfy Mr. Davis, and the rest of Ithn members, and before the meeting Itidjourned it was decided to hold an other meeting on Monday night, and t this gathering take action on the (Oreport of tho central committee. Candidates Out in Force. ' Nearly all of the candidates for elec jtion at the primaries were at the 'meet ling,' and all who were there had a Reliance to speak. President Gill before "-calling on any of the speakers said Ithat he had received a message from sPan Kellaher, saying that on account 'of a previous engagement to speak at 'isnother meeting, it would be impos sible for him to attend. A letter was read from J. M. Kelty, candidate for Councilman from the Eighth Ward, ac knowledging the club's invitation to lepeak, and expressing regret that he could not be present. Mr. Kelty tthanked the club for its invitation, and .took occasion to say that if defeated before the primaries, he would support the ticket that was elected. Applause greeted this pledge, as was the case with all the speakers who made the same announcement. The first speaker was J. B. "Werlein, who alone In the field for City Treas urer. Mr. Werlein was opposed to the club indorsing candidates before the pri maries and said that if this should be done It would cau.se trouble and would defeat t lie will of tho people. 1. Zimmerman introduced his address by announcing that if defeated he would Mipport the Republican nominee and that inc would work hard for the election of the entire Republican ticket, and for the defeat of all Democrats and independent candidates. Mr. Zimmerman said that he wanted to correct a wrong report that bad been printed regarding a speech he made Saturday night. "It was printed," he said, "that I had announced that I would close the saloons !on Sunday. AVhat I said was this: that I was in favor of, when the saloons rinsed at 1 A. M. on Sunday - morning that they should remain closed until 1 TP. M. Sunday. I also want to Bay that elected there will be no gambling while id am In ofttce. There was a time when the city needed the revenue obtained from gambling, but that condition no longer wxlsus. Good AVork for Opponents. Thomas Devlin made a splendid impres Srion upon those present, by the kindly xhlnps be had to say for all of the other candidates who are running for Mayor. 'Vhen I decided to come .out as a candi date." he said, "I wrote a letter to each )rf the other cantildates, all of whom are ny friends, setting forth my platform ind saying to them that It was not my Untention to enter into personalities in She campaign and pledging my support :o the candidate elected If I should be defeated. The only man to answer my Better was Mr. Zimmerman and that's the ifelnd of a Republican he Is." Mr. Devlin said that he had often en joyed Mr. Zimmerman's hospitality and ald It was of the best and that Zlm flnerman was a good fellow. The speaker promised those present there would be no mud slinging or harsh words for any one 'In the contest and said that the best '3oHtlos was the best government any one could give the city. Judge Cameron, who is a candidate to succeed himself as Municipal Judge, jnade a brief talk. He said that he taiad been in office since the last elec tion, and it was because he did not ell of the other times he held office U. Silvestone. who Is a candidate for the same office, took him to task. Judge Cameron called attention to the Inexpensive manner in which he had vonducted his office. His expenses up xo December last, he said, were $150. while in the meantime he had turned Into the city coffers something like J40.000. When it came to Mr. Silvestone's time to talk he promised a clean ad ministration and declared that lie would not favor any nationality. This brought a reply from Judge Cameron, who thought Silvestone was intimating that lie had taken care of the Scotch. Judge Cameron got back at the speaker .by saying that he had practiced law before the courts of Portland for 15 years, "and In those 15 years I have never seen Mr. Silvestone in any of the cuurts." Clash Is Prevented. When Judge Cameron finished. Mr. Kerrera rose to announce that if Sllve istone was looking for a light he could !)ive one. Just as things appeared to tie warming up. President Gill put on the brakes. J. S. Winchester, who is out for the same office, also spoke. Among the others who spoke were O. P. Miller and A. L. Barbur, can didates for City Auditor; Fred T. Mer rill, George M. Hylands. J. M. Blair and William Deveny, candidates for Coun-cilman-at-Large. George L. Baker, candidate for re-election to the Council from the Fourth Ward, made his maid en speech. Baker has been before the footlights so often' that he was not a bit frightened. He wanted those pres ent to understand that while a lot may depend upon the Mayor, the burden of conducting the city government de pended upon the members of the City Council. Rufus Holman, his opponent, also made a short ' address. J. F. Boothe. candidate for office from the Fifth Ward, spoke, as did also George F. Brlce, candidate from the Eighth Ward. During the meeting a ten-minute re cess was taken so that the members might shower a silver thaw of $3 each upon the secretary's desk for member ship dues. ARGUING HEINZE CONTEST Hodgens, of Butte, Demands Access to Cnlted Copper Books. NEWARK, N. J., April 21. Argu ments on the rule signed several weeks ago by Supreme Court Justice Fort on application of Thomas M. Hodgens, of Montana, directing the United Copper Company, of Montana, and' Stanley Gif ford, its secretary-treasurer,' to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not be issued compelling the defendants to produce all the books of the com pany in its head office in Hoboken, were begun before Justice Fort today. Testimony was taken before the com missioner. Attorneys for Mr. Hodgens argued that their client was a large stock holder in the company; that fie had been unable to obtain, information as to the company's affairs from its offi cers, and that the United Copper Com pany was engaged in the speculative buying of stocks and in making call loans, a lino of business foreign to the purposes for which the company was organized. He claimed the right to ex amine the books, as he believes that the company's profits do not justify the payment of the dividends which have been granted. Attorneys for the company say that the corporation is in tho best financial condition; that since May, 1902, it has paid $6,911,000 In dividends; that It owns stocks and other property to the value of many millions more than its capital stock; that its net earnings for 1906 amounted to $5,998,635, and that all its dividends had been paid out of the legitimate earnings of the company. The arguments will be continued. The United Copper Company was or ganized to hold and operate the Hclnze mining properties at Butte, Mont. KNOWS MAN WHO BEAT HER Ethyle Hergation Identifies Her Assailant of Friday Xtglit. SAN" FRANCISCO, April 22. Alvin Eddy, of 1102 Fillmore street, a motor man on the Fillmore-street line, was ar rested yesterday and positively identi fied later by Miss Ethyle Hergation, as man who had beaten her nearly to death at midnight last Friday, when ostensibly leading her to the house at 115 Point Lo bos avenue; into which her mother had moved that day. He enticed her out Ma sonic avenue and there choked her and pounded her face until she was unrecog nizable when she resisted him. He bears teethmarks on his fingers. Kddy declares he Is not guilty and asserts he can estab lish an alibi.. Besides the identification by Miss Her gation and the marks of teeth on Kddy's fingers the police have obtained still fur ther evidence against Kddy. ' This evi dence was given by Bert Valgera and William C Smith, both United Railways carmen living in a Geary-street refuge camp. They saw a man leave the Fill-niore-street car on Friday night, and they saw him board the Geary-street car with Miss Herniation and they say positively the man was Alvin Kddy. They called at the city jail yesterday and picked him out. Alvin Eddy, arrested yesterday on suspicion of being the man who at tacked 17-year-old Ethyle Hergation Friday night, was not taken to con front the girl this morning, as it was believed she was too weak to stand the shock.' She has positively Identi fied him. by means of a photograph. LAW PROFESSION ETHICS Justice Brewer Pleads for Higher Standard Among the Bar. NEW TORIC, April 22. United States Supreme Court Justice David J. Brewer pleaded for a higher standard of ethics in the legal profession in an address be fore the Ethical Culture Society in Car negie hall yesterday. Justice Brewer said that no profession was so often and so wrongfully attacked as was the legal profession. "Is It strange that-there should be so much criticism of the bar? We must remember that the wisdom of the law maker can never keep pace with the Ingenuity of trained minds seeking to evade legal limitations. The old saying that holes may be found in every law means simply that an ingenious lawyer can often find either In the statute itself or in Ihe mode of enforcement some way to escape its penalties. . "It Is this which provokes the frequent remarks that the law so seldom -reaches the rich, for the rich can pay for the brainiest, and the brainiest can most certainly and quickly discover the means' of evasion. As against this, I appeal for a higher standard of ethics. I ap peal to every lawyer to put his heart alongside his head to mix his conscience with liis brains. Let him have the courage to say to his client, 'It may be legal, but it is dishonest, and I will have nothing to do with it.' Is this asking too much of the profession?" DEAD PILOT IS BLAMED Responsibility Placed for Wreck of Liarchmont, When 100 Drowned. NEW IONDON, Conn., April 22. Iocal United States Steamboat Inspectors Stew ard and Withey today made public their findings in the steamer larchmont dis aster on the night of February 11, when over 100 lives were lost in the sinking of the steamer after a collision with the schooner Harry Knowlton in Block Isl and Sound.

Mont,, states that Burt Klnchter, a cowboy and rancher, was shot and instantly killed by B. F. Moulton, a stockman, yesterday.

SHEO BLOOD FOR : THE1R FAVORITES Admirers of Lane and Devlin Fight Over Their Re spective Merits. LAND IN THE POLICE COURT Thief Is Added to Detective Force. Old Man Sent to the Rockpile. Xegxo Editor Must Stand Trial. The Mayoralty campaign thickens! Blnod has been shed in the cause, two local politicians endeavoring to settle the matter under the Marquis of Queensbury code rather than by the Australian ballot system. First blood goes to Dr. Lane, with Mr. Devlin a bad second in the bout. Dr. Lane did not do itt personally, of course, but his staunch admirer and sup porter Georpe Shurtle did the" job and with a thorough degree of effectiveness. The man to shed his blood in behalf of his Mayoralty ideal, Mr. Devlin, enjoys the name of Louis Allison and the oc cupation of longshoreman. While greatly weakened by loss of blood he is yet able to continue that useful vocation. But Mr. Shurtle continues in distress. Down at the City Jail he is held for fighting. All yesterday forenoon the ex pected reprieve from the executive man sion failed to arrive. After sacrificing his freedom and risking his personal beauty for the doctor's political welfare, Shurtle thought the least he could re ceive' for his heroism was a formal pardon. Under Judge Cameron's decision he had his choice of five days in jail or payment ot $10. i When the day passed on without word from the City Hall Siiurtle faced the necessity of paying his ' fine or being locked up. Reluctantly he produced tho amount, but not without hope of a re mitted fine within the next 24 hours. The political discussion which landed the two men lri Judge Cameron's Court, yesterday forenoon, occurred Sunday. After the local political situation had been canvassed, Allison took occasion to express his thankfulness that Mr. Devlin was to be the next Mayor. Shurtle re plied that the Allison favorite would never occupy the Mayor's chair unless, perchance, he slipped in some day while the real Mayor was out for lunch and occupied the seat for a few minutes. Allison said Devlin would run rings around everybody else on the ticket and that the doctor couldn't get votes enough to. elect him Mayor of a town ' out in Nevada with a population of seven per sons. From this time on up to the moment hostilities opened, the debate cannot be recorded, owing to certain rules ot the Postofflce Department bearing on just such subjects. The Devlin party was' groggy and bleeding copiously at the nose when the police jumped into the ring and stopped the exhibition. Dr. Lane's exponent was declared the winner. He was the aggres sor throughout the mill and on this ac count received the Invitation to spend, five days on city rations. The longshore man received no such recognition. Of all the hypocrites that ever went forth in the name of morality, S. L. Joell. a negro editor, has used the worst judgment. Of course, it isn't certain that Joell went forth in any such goodly cause, but he says he did, and it doesn't matter much whether he is telling the truth. Joell, by way of Introduction, is the The Nmt Reformer. colored person that was arrested Sat urday night for annoying a young girL He followed her about all the evening, and ndcavored to make an appoint ment with her. All this notwithstand ing his frequently-proclaimed religious devotion and the. fact that he already has acquired a family, and hence is not put to the necessity of winning one. . Joell was in court yesterday. His case was put over , but the story he told of his conduct on Saturday night stamps him as a man of wonderfully bad judgment or of an Imaginative faculty " surpassing Baron Munchau First Blood In Mayoralty Campaign. sen's. He said the morality of the white race has been longa matter of concern to him. When he went forth Saturday night it was for the purpose of investigating a report that young women are given to street flirtations. After following this young woman about all evening without observing anything wrong in her conduct, he thought to test her once for all by flirting himself. Very fortunately for all except the ebony reformer, the police were within hailing distance, and thus his downfall. The young, woman was in court to prosecute the. negro yesterday, and says she will see the cafe through. Thursday was fixed as the date of trial. It takes a thief to catch a thief. The phrase was invented in prehistoric times and has seen much service since; but not until yesterday did the law put an offi cial stamp of recognition upon it. In the Municipal Court Gus Marques ton, thief, was added to the local detec tive force. Not as a regular detective there's only one of them left, and besides Marqueston might not have survived so great a distinction, which has- spolied more than one really useful beat-walker before this. Acting detective is the thief's title and it came to him without ap plication on his part. It seems that Marqueston stole some cushions from a launch in the river. The brass railings, the engine and all moveable fixtures were likewise taken, but not by Marqueston. He took only the cushions, but had the misfortune to be caught with them In his possession. A formal charge -of larceny was lodged against him. Now Marqueston probably would have been given a year in the County Jail if he had not witnessed the taking of the other fixtures, which were of much value. With Jhe realization that a thief is usually ' successful in catching a thief, Marqueston's services were enlisted and his freedom restored. It is' now his duty to catch the bigger thief. The principle, while new in law, . has long been rec ognized by fishermen, who bait their hooks with minnows In order to catch something worth while. It Isn't by any means the guileless youth alone that strays by the wrong path: Youth with its inexperience is ofttimes in no such great danger as old age with its great . experience. Curiosity, as to the world's secrets is not half so potent a factor of evil as bitterness that comes long after se crets i have ceased to be. S. E. Maxim, aged 65, is a ' victim of this bitterness. His associations with men have not always been pleas ant. The world has not been kind to him. Seeking relief from the acrid sentiments that accompany certain temperaments when hope and ambition are dead, he hit upon the distillers' product. No hot-blooded youth in his 'teens ever went the downward pace Maxim has been going. He is ending an otherwise useful but very common place career with a series of dissipa tions that would cause a satyr to hail him as master. ' Within the past month Maxim has been arrested as often as released, the two events invariably following each other in quick succession. "Yesterday forenoon Judge Cameron sent the old man to the rockpile for a ten-day stay, hoping that labor and the country air will enable him to re-establish an equilibrium. And if Maxim were nothing more than an individual, his case wouldn't be worth this space. But Maxim is a type. Here is a list of such Sunday drunks as chanced to fall into the hands of the police; F. W. Kelly, Fred Tlattner, H. Slat terly, M. Fostrum, F. W. Scott, I. Hen derson, J. B. Williams, Ed Olson, L. W. Highland, M. E. Hylean, Africanni Giavonnt and J. H. Massey. It 'cost them i2 aptece. . CLUBS IN UNION SESSION Xolta and University Park .Bodies Discus.? Interests. A union meeting of the Nolta Pro gressive Club and the University Park Improvement Association was held last night at University Park for the dis cussion of matters of interest to both sections. W. J. Peddicord presided. Dr. William Deveny, of Montavilla, spoke, dwelling on the lmportanco of an other pipe-line to Bull, Run. J. H. Nolta and Charles Patton also advo cated the second Bull Run pipe-line, but Mr. Patton thought that the park scheme was rather undesirable and was inclined to oppose the $1, 000,000 appropriation. F. I. McKenna spoke for parks and boulevards, and declared that, no city of importance is without parks and driveways. M.' E. Carter was appointed to look after street improvements that were not progressing as they should. Mr. Carter, C. Buechler, S. G. Slbray, F. I. McKenna and W. J. Peddicord were appointed delegates to the United East Side Push Club to represent the Uni versity Park Improvement Association. The club indorsed the proposed im provement of Greely street,- between Pippon street and Killings worth ave nue. There was some discussion of candi dates for Councilman-at-Large, and most of the speakers favored H. . G. Parsons, indorsed by the Federated Trades Union, although no formal in dorsement was ' made last night. Dr. Deveny also was warmly recommended. It was the opinion of the two clubs that the Tenth Ward is too large and ought to bo divided as soon as it can be brought about. DROWNED IN WILLAMETTE Frank Lindsay Kails From Dock Into Kiver Body Recovered. Frank Lindsay, aged 22 years, fell into the Willamette River off Montgomery dock No. 2 at 7 o'clock last night and drowned in sight of several men. His body was recovered two hours later and was taken in charge by Coroner Fin ley. Lindsay attempted to leap from the wharf to a barge, on which he was to work, but missed and lost his life. Lindsay was just reporting for work, it being his first appearance on the dock as an employe. He obtained the position a short time previously. He had been liv ing at the Fine Hotel, in Lower Albina, and was single. He had ft sister, Miss Ruby Lindsay living on Olay street, but no other relatives, so far as could be as certained last night. Hoqniam Masons Plan Temple. HOQUIAM. Wash., April 22. (Spe cial.)

' 10 YEARS GIVEN TO CHANGE POWER Council Asked to Forbid Use of Steam on the Fourth Street Line. MAY STILL HAUL FREIGHT After Stormy Session Judiciary Com mittee Adopts Resolution In structing City Attorney to Pre pare Ordinance on. Subject.- After a stormy session lasting nearly two hours the judiciary committee yes terday afternoon recommended that the Council adopt a resolution directing City Attorney McNary to draw up an ordi nance to compel the Southern- Pacific within two years to cease the operation of locomotives on Fourth street. The resolution adopted by the committee does not direct the City Attorney to include in his ordinance a provision to abrogate frejght traffic over the street but the resolution when it is presented to the Council tomorrow afternoon at a spe cial meeting may be amended. Whether the Council will follow the recommenda tions of the judiciary committee is a question but as election is approaching it is generally conceded that the resolu tion has a fair chance of being adopted. W. D. Fenton, representing the South ern. Pacific, attended the meeting of the committee yesterday afternoon. He made no suggestions or fcffers to compromise but simply said that the company did not believe that the Council had the legal right to force a change of motive power. At the expiration of two years, if the Council follows out the plan of the judiciary committee, and if the city should trv to force the railway company to .comply with the ordinance, litigation will undoubtedly ensue unless the com pany has made other railway connections on the East Side. Alex Sweek and Sol Bloom appeared be fore the committee as representatives of property owners on Fourth street. They also presented a large petition. They de clared that the property owners were anxious to have , abolished steam loca motlves and heavy freight traffic on the street- They did not oppose the plan of permitting the company to operate elec tric cars. v- . Fenton Hints Litigation. The greater part of the session was spent in wrangling over the Vaughn ordi nance. This ordinance specifies "that it shall be unlawful" for the company to operate locomotives or freight cars over the street. ' Mr. Fenton said the ordi nance meant the praotical revocation of the franchise and Councilmen Baker and Boothe were anxious to avoid litigation. City Attorney McNary had previously given the opinion that the Council could compel the company to change motive power if it were physically possible to operate without steam locomotives. Baker and Boothe wanted the Council to direct the City Attorney to prepare the ordi nance and, Vaughn . at last joined In this request. Vaughn and Baker, who had a clash in the Council last week over the anti pass ordinance, indulged In sharp repartee and . sarcasm throughout the session. At last when the committee had arrived at an agreement they reached across the table and shook hands. A few minutes before the Councilmen had dis covered their sudden friendship .Baker J bad ironically saia: lou nave aone beautifully, Mr. Vaughn, and the people of Portland will elect you Mayor when ever you come out." and Vaughn angered by the imputation had roared back: "Whether or not, Mr. Baker, I am play ing to the galleries, if I'm right, I'm right, and if I'm wrong.' I'm wrong." Following is the resolution recom mended to the Council by the Judiciary committee: Text of Resolutions. ' The judiciary committee of the Common Council of tho City of Portland begs leave to file tTiin report with accompanying rec ommendations, concerning the use of steam locomotives on Fourth street, within the corporate limits of the City of Portland. Whereas. By ordinance 59 passed by the Council riecember 10. 1808; approved Janu ary 6, 1869, the Oregon Central Railroad Company of Portland, Or., was authorized and permitted to lay a track on Fourth street from the south boundary line of the City of Portland to the north side of G Glisan) street, and to maintain and use thereon railway cars and locomotives, such authorization, ripht and permission being subject to the riftht of the Common Council to make or to alter articles any time for the conduct of said road within the limits oc the city, and in particular to restrict or. prohibit the running of locomotives at such time and in such manner as the Com mon Council mlRht deem necessary, and Whereas, At the time said ordinance was passed the City of Portland was a compar atively sparsely settled city, and that in particular Fourth street was outside the business district of the city, and the use of steam locomotives on said street was not a hindrance to business or a menace to life or a disturbance to the residence district of the City of- Portland.
