PARTY T1KS TO BE CEMENTED Kcpubllcans Plan Meetlncs and Banquets Next Week. Cnanimons support of the entire Re publican ticket by the successful candi dates in the primary election and the sup )ort of the successful candidates by the defeated aspirants are the objects sought to he promoted by political functions that will be held probably before the close of next week. The central Idea that is to be emphasized is the absence of sore spots and a general declaration to support the nominees of the majority party for- elec tion in June. The Union Republican Club has planned R genuine old-fashioned love feast that will be held next Friday night. Mav 1. In the old Elks' Hall, on the top floor of the Marquam building, when the suc cessful candidates of the Republican pri maries are to be banqueted. At the same time the unsuccessful candidates for the same offices are expected not only to be present and assist In the entertainment of the party's nominees, but to pledge their allegiance to the candidacy of their late opponents. It Is probable that the programme on this occasion will include addresses by the successful as well as the defeated candidates, the sole purpose of the event being to Insure harmony within the party and among the rival candidates for nomination in the late primary elec tion. A. O. Rushlight, unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination of Asses sor, has proposed that the defeated can didates In the recent primary election tender to their successful candidates a banquet, probably some time next week. The plan proposes that the defeated can didates shall be the hosts and shall fur nish the entertainment for their success ful rivals. Aside from the pleasure audi a banquet would afford, the real purpose to be served Is to disprove the report that the Republican party is embarrassed by factional strife. The date for this event will be announced when the details have been arranged. BORAH BILL WILL PASS Irrigation Measure Has Numerous Friends and Xo Opposition. ORBGONIAN NEWS Bl'RKA l. Wash ington, April 1.4 I'nless unexpected oppo sition develops, the Rorah townsite bill should pas and become a law before the close of the present session of Oonnresa. This bill, whkrh permits use of moneys derived from the sale of lots In townsites on Government irrigation projects for the erection of schoolhouses. construction of , sewer and water systems, etc.. Is heartily .Indorsed by the Reclamation Service, and there ts comparatively little opposition. The arguments against the bill are more than offset by the benefit that would result from Its passage, and the fact that Uie proposed law would benefit every town established on a Government project will secure it strong backing from West ern men in both branches of Consreas. In his report on the bill, made by direc tion of the committee on Irrigation, Sena tor Borah says: t'nder the rrent reclamation at there f no pnr talon of law bv which Impror mnta can be made tr the proper develop ment of the Iowm durtn the period b for their Incorporation an4 at a tim when It in fmposjrihl to levy rae. and at a time when the greater part of the aurroundlrtir country la held by iwttlera tinder homeMead ertrle. and therefore not wbject to taxa tion. The condition It now exu-ts under th reclamation act h ben found to ham per and practtcaily prevent the development of towna upon the adjacent reclamation projects. There ara no means by which e-hoolhounen, ae-wers, or aMewalka or ceme teries or ot her necesaary puMtc Improve menta can be had. In the matters of edu cation and health such towna are In a lara-e dffre help cm. The extent to w hlch, such towns are Injured and retarded In their de velopmnt and arom-th Is manifest to all who have observed the matter, and there Is a demand from the towns upon the reclama tion projects for this kind of legislation. Towns upon the Carey projects, aide by side. slmoRt. with the towns upon the reclama tion projects, have moved ahead, have fine educational facilities, healthy sewer sys tems, of whlrh the reclamation towns arc entirely deprived. The bill has been thoroughly a-one over by the department bavins- In charge the reclamation service and Is made with the approval of the department. It betnr deemed absolutely essential that some means be provided by which the health and the edu cational Interests of the people In thta vi cinity can be taken care of. It is also considered that the amount ex pended for these purposes will be well repaid in the increased value of town lota which the law will undoubtedly bring about. The measure especially provides for the turning- over of the public enterprises, schools, etc.. as soon as the towns are or ganised under state or territorial law and are prepared to take over the same. The department will nA. be called upon to have the supervision of the improvements any longer thnn the organization of tha town. In fact, the bill is designed to meet a great necessity arising- out of the situation as It exists until the town is properly incorpor ated and taken care of under state or terri torial laws.

Ver steeg receiving 148 votes and Mr. Slgler Its. J. P. Goray. who ran for County Coro ner, won by a' small plurality. Ben Norden. Republican, received 124 votes and Goray 13S. An indication of the predicament of many Democratic voters when they went to the polls and found the names of hardly any Democratic candidates print ed on their ballot ' is discovered in the fact that every Republican candidate for county offices received a part of the Democratic nominating vote.

The elevation of Mr. As quit h to the head of the IJheral party and his changes in the present Cabi net have been taken by Nationalist members of the British Parliament as a move to sidetrack the Home Rule issue in spite of the fact that within the last month the House of Commons by a large majority passed a resolu tion favoring Home Rule. Among the speakers at tomorrow afternoon's meeting will be Dr. An drew C. Smith, M. G. Munly. Wallace McCamant and E. S. J. McAllister. The committee on arrangements is com posed of the following: J.

SAYS VERDICT OP JURY WILL STAND District Attorney Manning Does Not Fear Reversal by Supreme Court. CONGRATULATED BY MANY Prosecutor or Title Guarantee A Vrnst President Commended on Kvery Hand Five Months ot Hard Work Successful. District Attorney Manning yesterday returned from Salem, where he suc cessfully prosecuted J. Thorburn Ross, president of the defunct Title Guaran tee A Trust Company, for the conver sion of state school money. Mr. Man ning naturally feels elated over the result of the case, which represented five months work to him. But he was not the only resident of Portland who took an interest in the trial and was gratified with the result. All day yes terday he was kept busy at his office receiving congratulations from many friends and from depositors in the sus pended bank who had followed the trial and felt confident of a verdict for the prosecution. Mr. Manning said yester- 1 ; - VT - --MM1C 1 District Attorney Manning, Who Se cured the Convict loo of . Thor burn Rosa, the Bank-Wrerker, and Largely Through Whose Effort c the leiOAltors of the Title liuarantee & Trust Company Have Secured m Guaranty of Reimbursement. day that he did not fear the result of the appeal to the Supreme Court which will be taken hy the defense. He is confident that the case was tried clear ly within the statutes. When the bank, of which Ross was president, suspended last Kali and re ports became current that its affairs were in a confused if not a criminal condition, including the alleged misap propriation of state funds, Mr. Manning immediately began an Investigation of the institution. Determining the ac tual condition of the bank, he first suc cessfully concluded negotiations by wnicn an depositors were guaranteed their deposits and an Eastern bonding company entered an agreement to re imburse the state for its claims against the hank. After Mr. Manning had se cured to the state and to individual de positors the full liquidation of their claims, he caused the indictment of the officials of the bank under the state law which prohibits the loaning of state school funds by banks. Repeated efforts by Mr. .Manning to bring the defendants to trial were de feated through the dilatory tactics re sorted to by the defense, which inter posed objection after objection and mo tions without number. These obstruc tive tactics were exhausted finally and then a motion was presented for a change of venue. This was resisted by Mr. Manning, who maintained that the bank officials could be given a fair and impartial trial in Multnomah County, but a majority of the judges ot the court decided adversely and the case was transferred to Marion County, where it was tried before Judge Bur nett. The trial began Monday and went to the jury at 3 o'clock Thursday after noon. A verdict of guilty was returned an hour later. VINDICATESA PREACHER Case of Hev.
