C Iwniitos In I.lt of Aoorwlited State ment No. 1 Candidates. W tit :s declared an ef fort to juff jrle ti' Statement No. 1 representative ticket was discovered yesterday in a printed list of candidates circulated In liftbor unions. The list con t a ins the rajnt s cf Kobe rt R. Hunter and J. Tr d Wilkins as substitute for Dr. U M. Pa via and Fred J. Brady. Davis and Kiady have been on the Statement No. 1 ticket as thus far published and circtijated. Ir. Iivis said lat nisht t h a c he kn e w nothing' of the new ticket and supposed it a trick for a purpose lie had not detected. Hunter is a member of the Railroad Mechanics' Union and Wllklns of the Harbers fnion. Another union mem ber on the Statement No. 1 ticket Is J. F. Caasidy. of the Structural Iron workers. Copies of the new ticket were thickly strewn In union quarters In Drew Hall last nlffht. In the office of the business agents of the unions, where Cassldy has his headquarters, was a larpe supply of them. One explanation of the new ticket ts that labor unions, dissatisfied with omission of Hunter and Wllkins from the ticket raised such a clamor as to recjuire Issuance of the new t ckct. The men who were dropped from the list to make room for the additions, had no knowledge, how ever, of the ehan(re. The new ticket Is worded the same as the other. Is the same sire, and has almost the same style of print. "Take this to the primaries with you." it says. "These are the candidates for noinfration by the Republican party rl-dped to Statement No. 1. anti-machine politics. Frinclple, not a scram Me for office." KKMKRY KLICK IMITATION Demoerattc Tieket Said to Be Work of Chamberlain's Foes. An imitation of the Kentucky Klick Democratic ticket was issued yester day by unknown person, with P. H. D'.Arey, of ?a!em, substituted for O. F. Cuitiow for Supreme Judge. As D'Arcy is one of Governor Chamberlain's foes, it is supposed the ticket was Issued by enemies of Chamberlain. W. N. (Salens, of Salem, private ecretary to the Gov ernor, was made qult indigrnant yes terday by discovery of the ticket. A probably explanation is that D'Arcy was put up to displease friends of Juda-e Bran with I'liamhcrlatn. Chamberlain has hen' advocAtinff elec tion of Henn, the Republican candidate for Supreme Judjre. Hut should !'Arcy rt the remocratfc nomination, tliat will make the CSovernor some em harassment, since he has desired the Democratic party to have no nominee for Supreme Judffc.

In Judge Bird's court at McMinnville yesterday, when the custody of a 6-year-old child, the daughter of Mrs. S. T. Manard. came up. the jurist made a novel decision. ' The child's mother is said to have kidnaped her from Seattle and kept her in hiding until discovered In New berg. The father got an order to have his daughter brought to the court for determination of Its custody, and the point was raised as to jurisdiction. After considerable wrangling by oppos ing counsel. John F. Logan, attorney for the father, succeeded in having the little one placed In the car of Deputy Sheriff T. T. Wood with the understanding that the parents and grandmother should ap pear before the Superior Court In Seattle. The Judge of that court is to decide who Is to have the child, pending settlement of other proceedings between the parties, and the Yamhill County Judge will base his order upon that decision, according to report from McMinnville.

Stevens made every effort to get out of going to Washington on account of his collaboration with S. A. P.

During the Investigations of the Hyde-Benson operations by Thomas H. Neuhausen. Special Inspector Depart ment of the Interior. In January. Febru ary and March, 1907, Stevens wns detailed by Neuhausen to go to Sacramento, where he unearthed much damaging evidence against the California landgrabhers in the form of documents on file in the State Surveyor-General's office, and the de fendants have been putting up a hard fight ;o prevent these papers from being taken to Washington. Injunction proceedings were brought In the state courts to restrain the Surveyor General from permitting the removal of the various record from his office, but these ffforts proved unavailing, as Judge Seawell, of the Superior Court of - San Francisco, has just decided that the Gov ernment cannot te prevented from taking them, and dissolved the injunction. Mr. Stevens said last night that he did not believe he would be absent more than two weeks, in which event his trip would not interfere materially with the publica tion of the land-fraud book, which is rapidly nearing completion.

Judge Cleland decided that she should have the custody of the younger child, while her husband Is to have the other. Neither child can be taken beyond the reach of jurisdiction of the court. At thy trial of the Eaton divor;- case, brought some time ago. an affectionate letter was introduced, purporting to have been written by Marie Sarhart Williams, to Eaton.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC DAVIDORE IN THE LIMELIGHT On April :id the Daily Journal published a denial of the article published in that paper exposing this man S. V. DavMore, who is ennneeted with th Washington Hme Telephone & Telegraph Company, of Vancouver WjishiiRton, Centralis and Chchalis, for his criminal record in Chicago, Milwaukee and Michigan, and San Francisco, lie dare not deny the letter of the l lfief of Police of Milwaukee, because Chief of Polive liritzmarhcr, of Portland, bns that U tter in his office, where any citizen of Portland can fco and. learn the character of Davidorc. He claim that the. reason he served a jnil ?cn tence in Milwaukee was because he took an active part in political affairs. I wish to call the attention of the people of the Northwest to this statement. You and 1 know that the United States Postal Service does not place men in jail for takinp an honest part in any political enrnpaiRn. He does not men tion about the two years he spent in the Chicago prison for swindling through tho mails. He says there ia no truth in the assertion that he has been guilty of shady transactions of any nature in any part of the United States. Then, Mr. Davidore, how i it that you Have been in jail in several states for .swin dling enmes against the people? f presume through your standard of morality and honesty you can't sec where the people, have any right to Hud fault with you as to how you get their money, or what you give them in return as security. Yon may be. able to float mining schemes for a while, but you cannot build telephone and telegraph lines in Washington and Oregon on hot air and blue sky, and a shoestring capital and printers ink. It will work for a while, then the people will catch on, and there must ho a settlement and no money to settle. The people of Portland have been buncoed before by just such smooth chaps as you, and they are on to your game. You thought the people here are all suckers, and all you bad to do was to offer them stork and bonds in your bank nt St. John, in your gas plant at St. John, in your mining companies and lastly in the Washington Home Telephone & Telegraph Company. Print lots of bonds and stocks, get out a very attractive prospectus, with the cut of the building of the Portland Home Telephone Company on it, and represent it as the building of the Washington Home Telephone & Telegraph building in Vancouver, which is not true and was only used to deceive the purchasers of your bonds. The Washington Home Telephone & Telegraph Company don't own nor do they intend to own any building in Vancouver. They only have a twenty-five year lease on the building now in course of construction by the owner of the ground, on the corner of Ninth and Washington streets. In your prospectus you set forth that this company will erect their own buildings. What security has the purchaser of the Washington Home Telephone & Telegraph Company's bonds, only the paper they are printed on and under the sale contract of the bonds by !. V. Davidore to a man by the name of Bloch for forty, five cents on the dollar, and that amount to b paid for out of the sale of the bonds. If he ever sells them. Who will be fool enough to place their money in any business proposition managed as this company is at the present time! Is there any first-class constructor of telephone and telegraph plants who would undertake to complete those three plants for the money received after the sale of those five hundred dollars' worth of bonds for forty-five cent on the dollar, and then pay S. V. Davidore twenty cents on the dollar a his commission for selling the bonds for .fJJfi.OOO, leaving the company only $180,000 to pay all expenses and construct and equip the pianist It can't be done for $'J.r0,000, Where are the people who own bonds and stork going to come in for interest on their investments. You have none, and won't have any under this management. Those are true facts that can be proved by the hooks of the company. This means that Davidore and his henchmen claim that his enemies, that is true, what honest business man would care jto shield such a rascal from the public by protecting him and his schemes f He claims he had a right to dispose of the bonds of the Washington Home Telephone & Telegraph Company for any price he saw fit to take for them, by a resolution offered in the last meeting of the company, presided over by Judge W. W. McCredie. 1 want to say right here, ns secretary of the Washington Home Telephone and Telegraph Company, that I never signed those last minutes of that meetinp. That resolution was offered by Davidore, and he had a purpose in getting it through, so he and Clements, as general manage, could barter the sale of those bonds for forty-five cents on the dollar, so they could get some ready money, as there were some bills coming duo that, had to he met, and some show must, he made in doing some work in Vancouver, Chehalis and Centralia. To hold their franchises they have dug a few trenches in Vancouver, and set a few poles i rt Chehnlis and Centralia. Now thev claim if they complete their plants in the next two years, they have a right to do so, if they don't succeed in selling them to some other company. I understand they are now trying to dispose of what they claim ia very valuable. The original franchises could be made valuable, but nnder the present management it was a failure from the start. It will be necessary for an expert telephone construction engineer to take charge of this work. Clements is not an educated telephone engineer; he is a good lineman to stretch the wires and boss a gang of men under the direction of a competent engineer who will he held responsible for the proer construction of the plants by the officers of the corporation. I have investigated the claims of Mr. Cle ments and Mr. Katon in regard to their claims that they have a contract with the long-distance telephone epmpany; they have no contract signed by any per son who has authority from the board of directors to so enter into such a contract that is binding on the long-distance company. I also find that their claims that they will put in the automatic telephone in Vancouver, Chehalis and Centralia is not true. They cannot secure the automatic telephone at any price. That system is controlled by the Portland and California companies. If the Mayor and Council and City Attorney will notice, in the wording of the fran chise grunted to Mr. Eaton there is no mention as to the telephone that will be used. They can if they so desire place the old Hell telephone in all three of the towi s, ami the people have no redress under their franchise. There is talk now of reorganizing the company with new men and money. This is the only way the corporation will ever be made a success. With Davidore, Bloch and Clements in the company, the Portland Co. will never grant any favors to the W, H. T. & Tel. Co. The attacks of Davidore. Bloch and Clements on the Home Company will always be re mem Ik- red by the management of the' Portland Co. In Mr. Davidore 'a denial of the assault on Air. Houston in San Francisco, he neglects to mention that there has been two warrants hanging over him in San Francisco for that assault. He forgot to mention that he sent an attorney from Portland to San Francisco to try and get those eases dismissed against him. The attorney was not successful in having them dismissed, and only through the influence of a judicial officer of Portland has he had them dismissed, and preventing the authorities of San Francisco from extraditing him from this state. The papers were already prepared to do so. He has also forgotten to mention the swindle he perpetrated on a widow lady in the State of Michigan, where he buncoed her out of $-0,000, under the pretense of marriage. 1 will refrain from giving the lady's name to save her frointhe odium it would cast on her to have her name mixed up with such a rascal. But I presume the lady considers she has gotten off very cheap in the loss of $-0,000, rather than being the wife of such a rascal and confidence man. In his notice to the public of April 11 he gives as the reasons for his resigning as treasurer from the Washington Home Telephone ft Telegraph Co. that it was for the best Interests of the company. I think so, too, and so does every other member of that company and every other eitir.en of Portland who has ever had any dealings with the man. I presume he will try and justify his action in trying to swindle Gregory Marten and his wife out of their property. I happen to know something about that deal, and from the manner in which he represented to myself and others how he owned that property I suppose he considers this as one of his honorable deals, also. He says his conduct of the affairs of the W. H. T. & T. Co. and every other corporation in which he has been interested needs no apol ogy. No. but they need cash, and the people were to supply it by buying bonds in his hot-air schemes. But I think after they read of his many crimes committed on the public they will not be suckers enough to be caught with his bait of flaming advertisements and elegantly furnished offices plush carpets, large rolltop desks and easy chairs. His esthetic tastes got a severe shock the other night when he was disturbed from his slumbers in the Portland Hotel in his suite of rooms by the intrusion of two city detectives, who marched him down to the city prison and placed him and his dupe, B. K. Clements, in a cell. But this is nothing new for the French Count (?), Davidore he had been there before as many other counts or no-accounts that come to this country to bunco the American people. I sec now this Count advertises that he has a bonding company at ,T20 to ;'27 Corbet t building, where he invites the public to come to his shop and buy bonds from a broker and get them cheap, instead of buying them through the officers of corporations. 1 presume he has a large block of those 4.Vcent bonds of the Washington Home Telephone & Telegraph bonds that he would like to dispose of very cheap. Or perhaps they are the St. John gas bonds that he is anxious to get rid of, so he could make a little show to the Council with other people's money that he does intend to do any build ing of that gas plant. Personally. I don't think he ever intended to build that plant. I hope this will be sufficient, for the present to show the people of Portland and the Northwest the rottenness of this man and his henchmen, and their propositions. H. J.

WILL PAY HIS OWN WAY Mayor Iane to Re Independent on Bull Hun Excursion. There is promised for the near future another bout between Mayor Iane and his political enemies In the City Coun cil.

Under no circumstances, he said, would he per mit the officials of the Mount Hood Com pany to pay for his food or defray the expense of the ride to and from the head works.
