THE 3I0RNIXG OREGONIAN. MONDAY, MARCH 23. 1908. TELLS OF POLITICAL PLOT Charges Editor Sullivan and Mayor Lane With Alliance. TO DELIVER IRISH VOTE Former Police Captain Says Cam eron and Lane Will Help Each Other Promises Expose at Mass Meeting. Two weeks ago The Oregonian pub lished an article wherein it was stated among other things as local poli tical gossip that Patrick K. Sulli van manager of the Catholic Sen tinel of this city, had political aspira tions, and that in furtherance of the ume he was active as an officer of local Irish-American societies in sup pressing, or endeavoring to suppress any demonstration on the part of such organizations sympathizing: with or indorsing the attitude of ex-Police Cap tain Patrick Bruin toward the Cane administration immediately following his resignation from the police de partment. On March 9 last, Sullivan, over his signature, with three others, denied all statements made in the article a hove mentioned "as unfounded in fact and not true." On March 21 Sullivan was appointed by Mayor Unc as a member of his Executive Board. Last night ex-Captain Bruin called at The Oregonian of fice and requested the subjoined signed statement published. Bruin Makes Investigation. Bruin also said that ten days ago he had heard of the report of Sulli van's proposed addition to Mayor Lane's cabinet and that he started a personal Investigation to run down a rumor whether or not Sullivan's ap pointment had anything to do with his activity among the fraternal organi zations In squelching any attempt in the way of resolutions favorable to Bruin. He said that as a result of his investigations he has collected a chain of circumstances which will convince any reasonable man that Sullivan's ap pointment to the Executive Board of this city is the result of a deal with the Lane people, for which Sullivan is to use his personal influence and also that of his paper to support the Lane administration among the Irish or ganizations and the Catholic people of the city in general. "I say. without fear of successful contradiction." said Captain Bruin, "that this Is one of the rawest politi cal deals ever consummated in this city. Lane has lost caste among our people and he knows It, and Sullivan can't restore it. "My friends are arranging a mass meet ing where I can get the ear of the Irish men of the city unhampered by parlia mentary tactics and where I can present my case fairly and squarely to -them. I am not asking a certificate of character, 1 am not Interested In any political clique, but I don't propose to be made the 'fall guy' between the Iane boosters on one side and an alleged religious newspaper man with a lot of political huneombe in his columns as a consideration for his tenure of office. "Another piece of deception," continued Bruin, ,"is. Sullivsn Is not a Democrat, lie has always affiliated with the Repub lican parly heretofore. An Inspection of the registration list will likely find him registered as a Republican now unless he has changed over since this deal with Iane. Says Case Is Convincing. "After hearing my statement at this proposed meeting, I am confident any man In search of facts will agree with me that I have made out a good case against Sullivan, based upon the circum stances I will bring to light, and showing clearly that Sullivan haa gone over to Ijne in spite of all his protestations in the past that he Is not in politics. He is In politics and he and his tools have de ceived and buncoed the Organized Irish men of this city as I will show." Bruin also declares as a result of his investigation that he has discovered a lineup between Cameron and the Lane men. "The Lane supporters have always been anti-Manning." he said. "The plan is to throw the Lane support to Cameron for I'istrlot Attorney. This for two reasons: Lane is ambitious to be Governor, so Is Cameron: l.ane agrees to support Cam eron for District Attorney provided Cam eron keeps out of the race for Governor and throws his support to Lane. In the event of Cameron's election as District Attorney. ljne will appoint a Democrat as police Juilge and cut out the "reform-run-mad' policy, adopt a 'saner' one. re construct his fences and go before the people as a Grover Cleveland reformer, that Is. a reformer who believes in per sonal liberty, and personal liberty of the Lane brand will in the future be much in evidence in the north end of this city." Bruin to Tell All at Mass Meeting. PORTLAND. March 2!.-rTo the Edi tor.) Patrick B. Sullivan, manager of the Catholic Sentinel, of this city, has sold out to the Lane administration in consideration of his appointment to Lane's Kxecutive Board. He also agrees to use all the Influence of the Catholic Hentlnel In support of the Lane adminis tration and to use his personal influence with the Irish and Catholic societies of thl city In consideration of that appoint ment. The deal was closed at a private dinner in Sullivan's home March 15 last at which time and place Tom Greene. P. K. Sullivan. Kdward Deery and John OTUre were present. This with a lot of other evidence I will prove to the sat isfaction of any falrminded man at a mass meeting of Irishmen, probably Sun day night next. In a hall to be announced later. p. BRI IX.

I heard the first notes of violet-green swallow and. running out, I looked up and saw the new arrival fluttering and skimming above the orchard. I have been out almost every" day, and this single bird is the first of the year. As I watched him he circled and dropped to the birdhouse on the hill above our back door, and hung at the threshhold twittering as if he knew the place. If lie were a new bird he intended to file his claim before others arrived. He was the very first swallow I had seen this year, and the fact that be came direct ly down to the house seemed to show that he was acquainted and had been here before. I watched him for an hour or so. but lie seemed alone, and after a while he disappeared in the sky, I wonder where he went; he seemed sud denly to drop out of the sky and he departed as he came. There is no doubt that the same birds return to the same places year after year. I have known this on account of peculiarities of birds, their methods of building and the places they have built. What a sense of location the swallow has. for his journey from the South leads him through trackless paths of the unmeasured regions of the sky, yet he had some compass and sign post that Is unknown to us. From his lofty course how does he know just when he gets back to his old home? Where now Is he spending the night? If it rains for a week, he wili disappear as suddenly as he came, but the minute another bright day dawns I know he will be here again, and he will remain till the cold of Winter drives him away. No wonder people used to think the swallows dived Into the mud to spend the Winter they appear so suddenly and are away again so mysteriously. I have watched the change coming on since the first of the year. Even in what we call the dead of Winter I went out one day and found the pussy-willows pushing out their silver-gray heads and the brown catkins of the hazel growing so long that they were swinging in the SCRAMBLE FOB STATE JOB SEVEN REPUBLICANS WOULD BE RAILROAD COMMISSIONER. Only One Democrat Has Been Men tioned for Position Now Held by C. B. Aitchison. Seven Republican candidates scrambling for the iW job of Railroad Commis sioner for the Second District, now held by C. B. Aitchison, through appointment by State Treasurer Steel, make a lively scene in the political arena. Aitehfson's rivals are: C. C. Loucks. W. H. Hurl burt. H. B. Humphries, A. X. Hamilton. Joseph Gaston and Howard Whiting. In the First District T. K. Campbell, now Commissioner, as yet has no oppositipn. Whether the Democrats in the Second District will trot out a candidate to run against the Republican nominee is not known. Thus far the only Democratic candidate mentioned is J. X. Teal, in dorsed for the Job by the Kentucky Klick. The only reason for the many candi dates in the Second District seems to be Aitchlson's connection with the Ross bank, before his appointment aa Com missioner. This has caused rival aspir ants to believe that the popular tide will sweep Aitchison out of office. But roost observers think the foes of Aitchison have brought out too many candidates, since they will scatter their votes among six seekers of the office, while Aitchison'6 followers will be united. Aitchison was Indorsed last Saturday by the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manufacturers' As sociation. Aitchison will probably receive the support also of a considerable element of shippers in Portland, who persuaded State Treasurer Steel to appoint him last February. I-ou.-ks expects to obtain the support of the railway employes and of affiliated la bor interests. Hurlburt relies on his long connection with the shipping public. In the service of the O. R. & N. and the Ore gon Water Power & Railway Company to bring him before the people favorably. Humphries poses as Eastern Oregon's candidate, hailing from La Grande. Jo seph Gaston was formerly a railroad pro jector and constructor, having served in those capacities In the building of the line now known as the Yamhill division of the Southern Pacific. Whiting was build ing inspector of Portland under Mayor Williams. Hamilton was a member " of Oregon's old Railroad Commission. POUNDING HEAVILY ON REEF Steamer Saratoga Certain to Become a Total Loss. S RATTLE. Wash.. March 22. The Post Intelligencer received the following spe cial cable from Valdez, Alaska: Captain Svhage. of the wrecked steam ship Saratoga, has given up all hooe of saving the vessel, which struck on the breeze. The round buttons of the dog wood blooms had begun to form. - If I should fix my mind on weather condi tions I never could tell just where Win ter left on" and Spring began. Every month has had some warm days of sun shine when I was almost persuaded that Spring was in the air. There has been but one slight snow since the trees dropped their leaves last Fall, and that lasted but half a day. Even If I had not noticed other signs, T should know that Spring has arrived because I saw the grouse flowers in bloom for the first time on the second Sunday in March.' Then I began searching. Along the south 6lope toward the river I found a few Spring beauties just poking their heads out of the leafy mould. We have had hard rains and winds but the temperature has "Ueen mild. The few days preceding this spell has had its effect, for this morning as T came up the hillside in front of the house T saw the first 1 trilliums of the year. Something in the sight and odor of the first trilliums appenls to me as no other flower. My mind associates them so closely with the arrival of Spring, the coming of the birds, the bud ding trees, and the warm days. The ap pearance of these "wood lilies" that grow so abundantly along the shaded slopes and In the ravines is the choicest invita tion a child has to go to the hills. A few days ago I saw the bluebirds Inspecting the hole in one of my old apple trees. When you see an orchardlst who allows his trees to remain full of holes to furnish homes for the birds you may know he is a mighty poor horticul turist, for the cavities that houses young birds in Summer shelter Insect pests during the Winter. They should all be tightly closed, but for all the fruit I can not think of closing the round door that admits a pair of bluebirds to the heart of one of my Baldwin trees. But I will cleanse the place carefully in the Fall. The violet - green or white - breasted swallow is the first of its family to ar rive from the South. His white breast and back that gleams violet and green in the sunshine, distinguish him from his cousins, the cliff or cave swallow, and the brownish, rough-winged swallow. He is more associated with our home life. He bears the same relation to the home as the barn swallow and purple marten reef at the west end of Busby Island last Friday. Early in the morning there was no water In the holds and it was antici pated that it would- be possible to float her. To this end the crew worked all the harder to jettison the cargo of ore, and late in the afternoon accomplished the task of heaving all the ore overboard. When the ore was removed, however, the support it gave to the bulkheads was lost, and in the' swell produced by a southeast wind the bulkheads gave way. The straining of the vessel with this stiffening removed caused several plates to crack and the vessel at low tide was lying with seven feet of water in her hold. She is hard on the reef with the rising tide, and with the southwest wind developing into a gale, she is pounding heavily on the rocks, and is expected to break up within the next 12 hours. CANADIAN SHIPPING ALARMED Foreign Bottoms Have Right to Handle Bonded Goods. VANCOUVER, B. C. . March 22. (Special.) That the coasting laws of Canada as at present worded are no bar to American or other foreign vessels handling Canadian bonded goods was the rude shock Vancouver shipping interests received through an interpretation of the laws by Commissioner of Customs Mc Dougall. Following the certainty that an Im mense tonnage of Grand Trunk Pacific supplies shipped from Eastern Canada via the Grand Trunk to Chicago and thence west via the Great Northern will soon be routed and will probably be trans-shipped at Seattle for Prince Ru pert an agitation to have the coasting laws enforced arose. Investigation de veloped the astonishing fact that the laws do not prevent foreign vessels handling Canadian bonded freight so long as they transport it from an Amer ican to a Canadian port. For years American vessels have been handling this freight from Seattle to Victoria nd from Vancouver to Skag way, but It was thought they were do ing so only under a privilege granted by order in council. It has now turned out that It was no privilege, but a right. The result is that a strong attempt will be made to have the laws amended so that the interests of Canadian shipping may be conserved. "Lone Democrat" to Run Again. NORTH POWDER, Or.. March 22. Special.) Herman Rothchlld. the "lone Democrat" of the House in the last Oregon Assembly, has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nom ination for representative for Union County. The county central committee lor that party met at La Grande yes terday and decided to put a full ticket In the field. They phoned to Mr. Roth child, asking him to make the race, and he signified his willingness to do so. He is a pioneer of this section. Fulton Starts for Portland. OREGONIAN" NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 22. Senator Fulton, accom panied by C. W. Halderman. his secre tary, left for Portland yesterday. in many sections of the country. The violet-green swallow is one of my con stant Spring companions. He has given up his ancestral home in the midst of the forest and taken to civilized dwell ings near human abodes. He rents a modern bird house, if one is handy, or climbs into the vacant corner of some building by way of a knot hole. Th one thing necessary to a violet green's nest is a good bed of feathers and these are always handier to get about a farmyard. I always keep a sup ply of these on hand when the swallows are nesting. When I stand on the hill side and blow up the feathers they ask for nothing better, and I thoroughly en joy the sport. At first I blew the feath ers in the air and the birds skimmed past and caught them before they touched the ground. Gradually they be came bolder especialy when three or four swallows were in the game: they often flitted by and took the feathers before they left m- hand. The news of a feather supply spreads rapidly. Try it and see. One morning I had six differ ent birds all skimming about me and circling to catch the feathers I let loose. The competition was so sharp I thought I might have a little more excitement at the birds' expense. I took two light feathers and tied each one at the end of a fine thread a few feet apart. When I saw one of the birds coming I blew them into the air. No sooner had they left my hand than one was snapped up and the bird behind dived for the second, but it moved off at the tail of the first bird at such a pace that he Increased speed to take it. The first swallow had not gone far till he seemed to get fright ened at the feather that followed hard at his tail. He dropped it only to see It snapped up in the fraction of a second, and that quickly the tables were turned and he was away after the lost treasure. The aerial race became exciting. The swallow with the feather started for his house on the top of the barn, but he was cut off and had to circle higher. Around and around, higher and higher, twisting, dodging, curving up and down, they went till the first bird, by a swift spurt, got hold of the trailing feather and by a short turn dived straight for the top of the house and disappeared In his round doorway.

"WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE. Pullman. March 22. (Special.) Professor A. G. Craig, of the experiment station, is sending out many varieties of potatoes to the farmers In the counties of Eastern Washington, for the purpose of determin ing the adaptibillty of the various varie ties to different localities in the Inland Empire. The plan is . to send several kinds of potatoes to each farmer, and re ceive a report from the grower at the end of -the season. It Is probable that when the data is all in the information will be published in a small bulletin by the station. The varieties being sent out include Burpee's Extra Early. Champion of the World, New Queen, Sweet Home, White Early Ohio. White Rose. White Monmouth. King of the Earliest, Early Excelsior and Bovee.

I would be in tavor of a law to that effect, for he is as much a criminal as the bosses who place men in office who are untrue to their trust. He is a traitor to his country." With these words C. M. Idleman, chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Central Committee, scored derelict citizens in an interview last night. "I believe as an abstract principle that every community has as good men in office as it is entitled to. If the people will not come out and select the best men, they are just as guilty of crime as the men who attempt to control politics by placing bad men In office. The man who fails to register or vote is aa much an anarchist aa the bomb-thrower, for by his neglect of duty he Is permitting the destruction of the government, if not directly planning It. "Under the primary law I am confident that if 'the people would exercise the privileges given them in selecting can didates, there would not be any question but that the offices would be filled with proper men. Some parts of the primary law, of course, will ha.ve to be com pleted. I do not think the law Is perfect yet. In the main, however. I believe it is calculated to give the people the op portunity they have been crying for so long, to vote for the men they want in office. '-' No Excuse for Negligent. "I dare say that if the citizens of the community 1 would do their duty at the polls there would be no need of such a cleaning up of prominent criminals as has been going on in San Francisco for months. Whether a man is a Republican or a Democrat, he ought to register and to cast his vote. At a recent meeting of the Republican central committee each committeeman was Instructed to bring out every citizen in his precinct. The people ought to realize that it is their duty to register, that they are com mitting a crime against the community if they don't. No man -in our Republic can live to himself. He is dependent upon all the others, and he ought to be will ing to place his shoulder under the burden and bear a portion of it. That s all there is to this government in dividual responsibility. Take that away and we have a state of chaos. I. believe all school children should be strongly Impressed with this responsibility. If crooks and criminals get hold of the reins of our government, it is the fault of the community. "I find it is more largely the merchants and workingmen who fail to register than any other classes. And it Is usually these very men, who haven't time, or are too tired, who rail the longest and howl the loudest when an unfit man is placed in office. I don't blame the weary work ingman so much for failing to register as I do the commercial man or the banker, but they are all to blame. There is no man. however rich or poor, who should not be interested In politics, for politics In this country comes into every man's home." County Clerk Fields said last night that it was found upon investigation that only about two-thirds of the men in a local wholesale house had registered. He ex pressed his belief that a similar condi tion prevails in many other parts of the city. He intends to take up the registra tion question today with the superinten dents of the various carbarns of the city, and with other employers and foremen. Republicans Four to One.

Every voter must register this year In order to vote at the primaries. It makes no difference whether he was registered two years ago or not. The necessity of having all the eligible voters in the county on the books is being given serious consideration by the various commercial bodies in the city Aside from the value of having a wider interest shown in matters affecting the public welfare, stress Is laid upon the fact that on the number of actual regis trations, is computed the population of the city. Early , in the week communications were sent out by the Manufacturers' Assocla tion to all ita members, a large number of whom are corporations, requesting that they permit their employes to register during office hours in cases where it is not convenient for clerks and others to do so at other periods of the day. The question of increasing the registra tions wilt be discussed at the meeting of the board of governors of the Portland Commercial Club this morning and an appeal will be addressed to all of the club's members. The Chamber of Com merce will hold, a special meeting within a day or two to act in the matter of securing a larger voting list. When asked yesterday ' what action. If any. would be taken by the Commercial Club in the matter. Manager Tom Richardson said: "The necessity of having Portland's full voting strength represented at the polls has been urged right along by the Com mercial Club. We also appreciate the fact that the city's population is to some extent computed on the number of reg istrations entered. Portland can easily register 35,000 people if she will. One of the great difficulties is that many people are not well informed regarding the reg istration laws. Many men think they are eligible to vote because they were regis tered last year or the year before; even people Interested in politics make that mistake. Other Organizations Act. "The Chamber of Commerce will be glad to do anything it can to increase the number of registrations, said President Swifter t yesterday. "I will call a meeting early In the week and discuss the matter with the trustees. People have always been slow about registering In this com munity. As a matter of fact, there has not been enough of a fight to get the people interested. People are inclined to be indifferent unless there is something in particular they wish reformed. Portland can and certainly should show a larger voting list." "We have already sent out communi cations to all of our members." said President Linn, of the Manufacturers Association, "requesting them to grant their employes time during office hours, where necessary, to enable them to register. The trouble here is that certain districts of the county are too remote and residents cannot make the trip to Port land without considerable inconvenience and expense. At St. John, for instance, it takes about a half a day for a man to come to Portland, register at the Courthouse and return home. Some ar rangement ought to be made whereby registrations can be made In each dis trict. A laboring man cannot very well sacrifice the time and expense to come to Portland from outside points for this purpose: A canvass of the various mills in the city and vicinity has shown that not more than half of the mill employes are registered at the present time." snoot 002'Cl J suhj auoi lUduiuBddp Xuv um nanMuo) jouj u XuipBaj sjoui sdystujnj ,Ciiqu nqnt .iTO 3Wa N Watch out for the signs! Those little pains and aches that come and go: the spells of weakness; that feelins; of numbness, of lassitude; those restless nights; despondency; the occasional loss of memory, that dullness of brain, drowsiness and lack of courage and energ-y are the true signs that point to Physical . Breakdown. It Is through these signs that Nature gives you warning of abuse, neglect. Through these signs that she cries out for help. Kelp for the tired and aching body, the worn-out and shattered nervous system, the wasted tissue, he weakened muscles. It's a shame trat so many men neglect these warning signals and allow themselves to sink deeper and deeper until they become physical and mental wrecks overwhelmed with despair! You wouldn't be as mean to your dog as you are to your own God-given body and mind, which your duty to yourself and to mankind should prompt you to protect and make the most of. You can't fool Nature.
