PROMINENT EDITORS ATTENDING THE SESSIONS OF. THE STATE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION BUT NO DEPOSITORS ASSIST BANK A1101 i Merchants National Makes Steady 1 Progress Toward Reopening. lt . PROMISES OPER Oregon Editors Decide That ' Politicians Must Pay for Their Advertising. CONVENTION IS IN SESSION Slate Association Holds Its Annual Gathering Here and Transacts Much Important Business En tertained by Dr. H. V. Coe. Politicians and business men who have become Influential ana rich through the medium- of the country press while the editor has only his labor for his pains have had their day. From now on what they set in the way of advertising they will fiay for, pay for It in eood, hard earned cash, and not in political promises that are never kept, or because they are prominent business men of the town in which the paper Is printed. All these radical changes that are to be made was the sole topic of discussion at the con vention of t,he Oregon Press Association,' which began a two days' meeting In the Woodmen of the World Hall yesterday morning. The convention wap called for'the pur pose of 'perfecting county organizations among the country editors, and they will Hot with the parent body, the Oregon Press Association. Already a number of newspapers in various counties have formed organizations and delegates .from almost every county In the state are here. The plan Cs to get the country editors in every county to agree to a certain sched ule of prices for advertising, both In printing advertisements and in doing job wor.'. Aside from this important matter will be a concerted movement upon the ftart of all of the country editors to 'get to gether and have passed at the Legislature certain legislation regarding the printing of public notices, and. as one editor put It. "to be in a position to have a change In the lilx1! laws and to give some at . tehtion to undesirable judges." Platform Is Adopted. A committee of five was appointed to draft a working platform that will be ac ceptable to all of the editors. This com mittee, composed of Dr. Henry "Waldo Coe. J. S. Dellinger, B. B. Kennedy, U. H. Fisher and J. C. Hayter, will report this morning. The editors have reached the stage when they are all in full accord on the proposition of conducting their newspa pers on strict busfne.s principles. This founds the keynote of their "get-together" policy. It was the consensus of opinion of the 100 or more men who own country newspapers present at the meet ing that politicians and business men look upon a newspaper as a vehicle that Is run for their gain, regardless of the man who does the work. Now they will make them pay. When It comes to get ting legislation through, the plan is that before a paper will support a candidate for election, regardless of the money he pays for advertising, he must first promise to support such legislation as has been adopted by the members of the Ore gon Press Association. In order that such legislation be proper and for the good, of all papers throughout the state, and not for a few, the association will have the bills drawn up by competent lawyer.. In two counties in the state, Yamhill and Jackson, the editors have already formed county organizations, and tiie re ports made at the meeting were most flHttering. By mutual agreement the edi tors have agreed upon a schedule of prices for advertising and job printing. Other delegates' to whom Dr. Coe had written reported that the editors were willing to join in the county organiza tions, but before doing so preferred tfl wait until some positive action and ' plan was adopted by the association. When this has been done, it is believed by the editors that one of the strongest organ izations In the state will be perfected. Delegates Get Acquainted. The morning session of the association was given over to the adoption of reso lutions and for the members to get ac quainted. In the afternoon President B. H. Woodward, of Ncwberg. told how he became interested in newspapers and how he started his career as a correspondent for a country paper. Ho briefly outlined the object of the meeting, and then fol lowed a report of the delegates. While the reports were being made, William O. Clarke, of Oervais. announced that one of the editors and a member of the associa tion was particularly anxious to attend the meeting, but was prevented because he was a witness in the Hall 'case. It was J. S. Stewart, of Fossil. Mr. Clarke was delegated to rescue Editor Stewart from V. J. Henry's clutches. This he did, and Mr. Stewart expressed his thanks to the association for getting him out of the "bullpen." At the close of the afternoon session the editors! accepted the invitation from the Pacific Monthly and visited the clant. which was operated for their Ivcneti!. Mrs. Abigail Scott tHiniway delivered a hrlef address and said that sh was glad to see that at last the country editors were banding together for their common good. She thanked the editors for the assistance they have given her and the great cause she is working for. She told of the time when she started into news paper business and of the advice which the country editors had given her. "Some of the advice 1 took." she said, "and some of it I did not. but it was not long before 1 was giving advice, but I won't mention hero what that advice was." But she did. .and there was a general biugli and much applause when she con cluded. Dr. Coe Gives Reception. T-ast night all of the delegates- and their wives attended a reception at the handsome home of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, at Twenty-fifth and I-ovejoy streets. The resolution passed during the morn ing session follows: "The Oregon Press Association hereby expresses appreciation to various persons ami public bodies which have offered it courtesies for the present session which It has not been able to accept. In a sense the present session, which is not the reg ular annual meeting, is executive, its Crime reason being for a thorough discus sion of the internal workings of the news paper business, its betterment and a re organization of the state association upon a broader and better basis, by which a higher, grade of local newspaper shall work for a higher and better Oregon. To do this work well It was necessary to meet where It should have nothing to" de tract from the objects set forth, that all Its time should bo employed In its own special work and in bringing as close to- gcther us possible at this sesison its own special members, effecting closer ac quaintance and better knowledge of each other more readily to weld them together Into a powerful body of value to every newspaper in the state and In the best ; f V - , Llrr tell! ;?Mif:it Villi! 1 - E.

CONTRACTORS WANT MONEY Iong and Animated Debr.tcs Among City Fathers Oner Acceptance of Jobs Vaughn Declares He Will Wage) Open Fight on Them. Two contracts for street Improve ment work, both of which have, been rompleted and accepted by the City Kngineer, caused ' heated discussions during the session of the street com mittee, of the City Council yesterday afternoon. Tho Goldsmith-street fill, one of the largest ever made in Port land, and the Dekum-street grade, from Garfield street to Columbia Heights, were the subjects of long and animated debates. The Dekum-street work .went over for two weeks, when Councilman- Vaughn promises to show that the work was improperly done. The Goldsmlth'-strcet fill remon strances were over-ruled. Mr. Vaughn announced his determination to make a minority report on this matter, which will bring it before the Council next Wednesday. Another example of the city's treat ment of contractors was furnished in the committee meeting, when George W. Simons, representing the Pacific Bridge & Building Company, declared to the committee that he had finished the Goldsmith-street till last Septem ber. It had been promptly accepted by City F.nglneer Taylor and yet the contracting firm had been-"held up", for its money ever since. Not one cent of the contract price of 30.000 has been paid, because remonstrances, flltd after the legal limit had expired, had come in and received the attention of the street committee. Held Up for Weeks. In the matter of the Dekum-street grading, Stephens Bros., the con tractors with Harry x Howard, had finished the work long ago, but have been "held up" by the street commit tee ever since, because of personal obr jections of Chairman Vaughn and some property-owners. There was a heated colloquy be tween Chairman Vaughn. of the com mittee, and some of the members, oyer both contracts. Vaughn won his point in favor of postponement of the action on the Dekum contract, and said he would bring in 50 men as reputable as Chairman Drlscol! to prove that the work was frightful, "and that to pay for it would be high way robbery." "In addition to the poor work, mnch of which did not conform to the estab lished grades until it was ordered to be regraded, Harry Howard dug down far below the eurfaye of the street v 1. k. 1 ernoa, of Oakltind. vfr " . i , it X A 'a Addinon Bnntt, of Tbe alles. s". ? i - v ; tisf W. E. V illmninon. I-oblisher of Orega Agriculturist. jf rortland. and removed - gravel from Dekum street which he used elsewhere," de clared Mr. Vaughn. "It was the most outrageous thing I have ever heard of a contractor doing, and- I do not pro pose to stand for it." . Mr. Vaughn's personal Interest In the matter was' brought to light by his own statement that the improve ment cost him about $300, but he de clared himself in favor of the work. When the Goldsmith-street fill mat ter came up it was expected that there would be a large number, of people presen i to state their alleged griev ances. The improvement was made by a district assessment, and a largo number of letters were received by the City Auditor, remonstrating against the assessment. These were finally ordered read, and. after care fully considering them the majority of the committeemen voted to over rule the objections of these people, which would mean that the matter would go to the Executive Board and be ordered paid, but for Mr. Vaughn's determination to fight it in the Coun cil. . ' Tries to Stop Action. Mr. Vaughn, as chairman of the com mittee, sought to stop immediate ac tion of the members by stating that the remonstrances were numerous and that it might involve the city in liti gation' should they be over-ruled. However, two weeks ago Deputy Aud itor Grutze was instructed to write to all of the remonstrators, which he did, but not one appeared yesterday to make any statement, and after reading the letters. It was the decision of the majority that the remonstrances were unworthy, of further considera tion. George W. Simons, speaking for the contracting firm, declared that the work was c ompleted . last September and that he wanted the J30.000 due his company: that he thought It an injus tice longer to "hold up" the payment, and said It was a most extraordinary manncr of doing business when the contractor could be deprived of his pay for many months after the work had been accepted by the city. There has. been endless trouble over street improvement work in Portland. The system seems to he all wrong, and. as a result, the street commit tees of the Council and the Executive Board are buried under an over-increasing pile of remonstrances; re quests for extensions of time for com pleting work and contractors are bad ly discouraged. Mayor Lane is out spoken against the present system, and declares that the- contractors charge at least 35 per cent more for the improvements than they would were they certain of prompt payment when it is completed. Stone Bank Building in Joseph. JOSEPH. Or.. Jan. 17. (Special.) At the annual meeting of the stock-holders of' the Fist National Bank of Joseph, direc tors were elected as foIMws: L,. Knap per. J.

Attend Rosenthal's great clearance ala for fina hn hor b-s I rta I Judge O'Day Strikes Shackles From Eight Wives and Three Husbands. . TWO CASES ARE UNDECIDED Harrowing Cases of Cruelty, Drunk enness and Inridelity Kegale the Judicial Ears Heavy Divorce Grist . Is Ground Out. Eleven decrees of .divorce were granted yesterday by Judge O'Day of the Circuit Court, eight to discontented wives, and three to husbands. Thirteen cases were heard, but in two instances the decrees were not granted, as the -Court desired to receive corroborative evidence in one case and examine into a question of law in the other. Cruelty was alleged in six cases, statutory grounds in three, and in two in stances wives testified that their hus bands had been convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. The specific instance of William A. Bales' cruelty, according to the story of Ida M. Bales, his wife, was when he kicked the baby in a fit of anger because he had tried to shoot a chicken for Din ner, but could not hit it. Liked Other Women, Too. Mrs. Vivian Price said her husband, Emil Price, used to brag about the good time he had with other women than his wife, and said he wished she would leave so he could go out and have a good time all the time. She said he told her once of having a fine time in Astoria. Further questioning brought to light that he would stay out all night, informing his wife the next day that he had to work later tnaa usual, and missed the last car home. She said she learned from other sources, however, of the company he had been in. The couple married at Albany in 1903, and Price left his home in November, 1906. according to the testimony of Mrs. Price. The testimony of Mrs. Martha Kerwin was that her husband tried to asphyxiate her with gas. She said she had separated from Martin Kerwin. her husband, and was living in a lodging-house. One day she met him. she said, and they made up. He then went to live with her, but she said that when she woke up she was in the hospital. She was told that she was found lying unconscious in the room. which was full of gas escaping freely from the jet. On this occasion Kerwin went to the rockpile for 30 days. Mrs. Kerwin also said her husband invited her to live with him on a scow, to which she would not consent. The couple married at Toledo, O., In 1904. Frances L. Hewitt said that Iee' D. Hewitt had too great a fondness for col ored women, frequently staying out all night. She was awarded MOOO alimony, payable at the rate of 535 a month, as she said Hewitt was a stationary engineer at Goble. Or., earning $150 a month. She married him at Pendleton In June. 1905. Dancing and Boxing Master William "Wood-ward was accused by Grace Wood ward of being .too handy with his fists, not only while instructing pupils, but in his home. She told of being knocked down in public at Second and Taylor streets, and of being struck with an um brella. Mrs. TVoodwaid was permitted to resume her maiden name, Gra.ce Brown. Rose Johnson secured a divorce . from Ralph Johnson upon testifying that he brought a woman to their home and kept her there for three weeks. , Had Too Many Visitors. R. B. Henry, a traveling salesman, said he could not watch all the actions of his wife, but was -told by the boys of th neighborhood of protracted visits at his house by a plasterer and a butcher, the latter having been seen, he said, by the boys, sitting in his wife's lap. Alfred G. Day, a local restaurant man, secured a divorce from Mrs. Stanley Day, after telling of her long absence in California. He said she went to Cali fornia before -the earthquake, saying It was for a visit, and after the quake wrote him for 200, which he said he sent her. He says she refused to return to him, having found a handsomer man. A decree of divorce was granted Olive E. Sewelf. whose husband, "William J. Sewell, was sent to the penitentiary from Umatilla County last May, for embezzle ment. They Emille Carmlgnani is seeking a divorce from' John Celestine Carmlgnani because ho falls to support her, but constantly hangs around a restaurant at Second and Main streets, in which she has a half In terest, assuming proprietorship, doing a few chores now and then and spending all her mqney in the "drinkshops." 31ST DEGREE CONFERRED Large Class of Candidates Advance in Scottish Kite Masonry. For the first tirqe in the history of local Scottish Rite Masonry, the 31st degree was conferred la$t night upon a large class of candidates at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, marking the close of the second day s session of the 17th semiannual .re union. The ceremony, which is one of the most beautiful in the' ritual of the. order, was presented under the direction of J. B. "Werleln and J. M. Hodson. In the morning the same class was ad vanced to the ISth degree, with Wallace McCamant presiding, and to the 21st de gree with B. G. Jones presiding. In the afternoon the 28th degree was conferred with Thomas Gray in charge, and the 30th degree with Louis G. Clarke presiding. The reunion will close, this afternoon, when the 32d degree, the highest In the power of a consistory, will be conferred with P. S. Malcolm in charge. In the near future the 33d degree will be con ferred by Irving V. Pratt, inspector-gen eral, active for Oregon. The candidates elected to receive this degree are: W. D. Fenton and Byron, H. Nfeholl, of Port land, and W. E. Grace, of Baker County. WILL CROSS BCRNIXG SAXDS Large Class to Be Initiated by'Al Kader Temple, Mystic Shrine. A large class of candidates will be ini- I tlated tonight at a meeting of Al Kader Tempie. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. J. G. Mack, illustrious potentate, announce? that candidates for' the honors of the Shrine must report by 7 o'clock at the new Masonic Temple. West Park and Alder streets, where the ceremony will be held. The procession of the officers will start in the grand lodgeroom, in which the ceremonial session will be. held at S o'clock. The caravan, composed of the large body of candidates that . will make the 'perilous Journey across the burning sands, will move promptly at 8:05 o'clock. The banquet hall will remain closed un til the end of the session. Members will be admitted to the banquet hall at 10:30 Since Examiner Wilson made It plain to depositors In the Merchants Na tional Bank that it was absolutely es sential for them to sign time certifi cates for their accounts if the bank was to avoid a receivership, there has been a general response that is very encouraging to those Interested in the institution. If depositors continue to sign certifi cates as rapidly as they have during the past few days, there is no doubt that the bank will soon be in a position to reopen. If. on the other hand, they fall to respond -to the-call made by Examiner Wilson, there is little doubt that the institution would be forced into a receivership. President Watson and Mr. Wilson are greatly plensed with the readiness with which depositors have accepted the time agreements. It is believed that they did not fully realize the im portance attaching to the request when it was tlrst made, but when it was made clear to them that there was no other way in which the bank could be saved and their accounts paid in full, they did not hesitate. There are still many, howevor. who have not signed and the fate of the bank will not be definitely known until they are heard from. The signing of time certificates Is Insisted on by the Controller of the Currency. The time for this is usually limited and if the bank is to be saved the remaining depositors must come In and accept the contracts. It Is not believed that the time cer tificates will work any hardship on de positors. It Is expected that as soon as the bank reopens these contracts will become medium of exchange. As they bear 3 per cent Interest, they will be regarded as desirable securi ties. It is also probable that they will be redeemed by the hank before the time limit placed on them. WANTS A FAIR HEARING General Stoessc! Petitions Empcro and Gets More Consideration. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 17.
