13 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN. MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1903. f. E'S Fulton-Taft Forces See No Signs of Active Campaign in Oregon. BEACH LEAVES FOR EAS Reported That He Will Ask Chair man Hitchcock ' to Recognize Ralph E. Williams as Man- ager in This State. Following a conference with Senator Fulton in Portland Saturday, State Sena tor S. C. Beach left for the "East." The. Senator's destination was not disclosed, but it is suspected strongly that he has pon personally to consult with National Chairman Hitchcock at Chicago. The purpose) of his mission undoubtedly is to present to Chairman Hitchcock the sltua tion In Oregon where W. M. Cake, state chairman. Is pledged to the election of Governor Chamberlain, a Democrat, to the Senate. In event the Fulton-Taft faction falls to oust Cake as state chair man, or decides not to try. the National chairman will be asked to Ignore Cake and consent to the management of the campaign in this state through Ralph E. Williams, National committeeman for Oregon. Is there go In it to be any campaign In Oregon in the interest of the Republican Presidential ticket? That is the question trany Republicans, especially those irien tlfled with the interests of Senator Ful ton, are asking impatiently. They have been seeking the information for several weeks, but they have appealed to deaf ears. Their patience has about reached the limit of endurance and It has been decided flatly to present the situation to Chairman Cake and demand that he either inaugurate an aggressive campaign throughout the state and that immedl ately, or accept the alternative of resign ing from the state chairmanship. It Is generally known lhat if Cake is ousted as state chairman he will be succeeded ty Plate Senator Beach. Cake to Return This Week. After an absence of nearly two months in the East. Chairman Cake has tele- graphed that he will return to Portlard some time this week. Ralph E. imams, National committeeman for Oregon, has arranged to come to this city from his home at Dallas the latter part of the week. Some time during the week a con ference will b? held, and at this meeting the Fulton-Taft people propose to find out what Cake expects to do. IT any thing, towards lining up the voters of the stste for the Republican ticket in November. Ever since Chairman Cake left for Bos ton, shortly aft?r the conference with National Chairman Hitchcock at Colo rado Springs, the Fulton-Taft forces have been trying to learn from him what his plans were for the campaign. Letters were disregarded and a telegram of in quiry failed o bring a response from the elate chairman. Case's refusal to rrply to these inquiries had .the effect of far ther Impressing those left at home of the apparent apathy of their tate chair man. In view of the extreme activity of the Democrats in this state, the Fulton Taft men insist that the details for an active cimpaign by the Republicans should have been arranged immediately following the Colorado Springs confer ence. They protest against the protract ed absence from the city of Cake and his failure to. Initiate active campaign work before leaving. Republicans Are Not Organized. As It is. the Republicans of this state have no organization. Neither the State Central Committee nor the Multnomah County Central Committee has estab lished headquarters. As a result, no ar rangements of any kind have been made for conducting the campaign this Fall. A list of speakers has not been arranged, neither has an itinerary been discussed for the campaign, which originally was scheduled to be opened early next month. The Fulton-Taft Republicans are pro testing vigorously against this apparent apathy on the part of Chairman' Cake, whose duty, they aver, it is personally to organise and conduct the campaign. It Is charged against the State Chairman that lie has done nothing In that direction except to issue to county chairmen a circular letter requesting their co-operation and suggesting that lists of voters In their respective counties be obtained and clubs organized. These letters were. Is sued a few days after the Taft rally early in July, when. It was voted to pro ceed with the organization of Taft clubs throughout the state. In Conference AVUh Bourne? After signing these letters. Chairman OaJce left for Boston to attend a meeting of the Knights of Pythias as a delegate from this state. Between the time of the conference with National Chairman Hitch cock at Colorado Springs, and the date of his departure for Boston. Chairman Cake was In Portland only a few days. It is ' rumored persistently that, while Cake may have attended the gathering of his fraternal brethren at Boston, he has taken advantage of the trip and called on Senator Bourne for a mutual discus sion of political conditions In this state and the kind of campaign that should be conducted. Belief that Cake Is hobnobbing with Bourne only adds to the restlessness of the Fulton-Taft Republicans, who In sist that the time has arrived for definite and decisive action. Republican workers from the other counties of the state have been organiz ing the voters in their respective districts as best they could without the direction of a vigorous state chairman. In the meantime. It Is complained that party en thusiasm has dropped to a low ebh. while the Democrats, through the organization of precinct Bryan and Kern clubs, have launched an organized and systematic effort to reduce and. If possible, eliminate the Republican majority In this state. Aware of the activity of the opposition, the Fulton-Taft forces contend that Cake owes it to the party either to discard any personal grievances he may entertain and buckle into the harness and work faith fully for the success of Taft and Sher man or gracefully to relinquish the posi tion to a more aggressive man whose leadership would not embarrass the mem bers of his party. TROUBLES OF A LANDLORD Pays Ills Respects to Swindling Tenants Who Won't Pay Rent. PORTLAND. Aug. 23. (To the Editor.) The Oregronian's editorial of last Sat urday deplores th scarcity of liousft for rent, especially In Willamette Valley towns, and states as the reason that more houses are not built for rental, the high prices for lumber, building material and labor. In my opinion the main reasons are as follows: Mothers permit their children to CAK APPARENT APATHY GALLING damage houses by breaking plastering, tearing papering, scratching woodwork, breaking windows and In many - other ways. When a family moves out, nine out .of ten families leave the houses In a filthy condition, and there is always a considerable bill for cleaning up and re pairs. Coffee grounds, hair, cigar stumps, broken glass and. crockery are put intovthe sinks and to(lets, causing the sewers to become stopped: and a big plumber's bill is the result. Many families are so filthy and dirty that they are not fit to live in a house a sheep corral in Eastern Ore gon being more suitable for their resi dence. Then there is trouble In collecting rents, and the losses. Five out of every ten families figure on beating the landlord, the grocer, baker, laundryman, milk and vegetable peddlers. Thej have little fur niture, and It is exempt under the law. They pay the first month's rent to get Into a house, the second month they pa a couple of weeks' rent after it is due! The third month they don't pay. They are prolific In hard-luck stories, the hus band out of work, or there is sickness. Their promises are numerous. They will promise anything, and. like pie crust, toese promises are easily broken. After they get in debt one or two months to a kind landlord (whom they will never forgive for his Kindness), 'they have to be given ten days' written notice to get out. This will be Ignored. Then the landlord employs an attorney at cost of not less than $10. who commences a suit at a further cost of $2. They hav seven days to answer. A "shyster" law yer is employed by the tenant, who first asks further time to answer in a trifling Justice Court, gets five days' delay, then flies a trifling demurrer and gets five or ten days more. Then he will file an an swer, and again an amended answer, each time gaining five to ten days. After long delay Judgment will be rendered and the tenant will be allowed three days more to get out, which he will do. usually do lng some further damage to pie house and taking the keys with him. Mr. Tenant will then remove to some distant part of the city, and begin the same process of again working every one he comes in con tact with. And there is no law to stop this petty thievery. These are thejnain reasons why more houses are not built for renting. The landlord Is boldly robbed out of two or three months' rent each time this process is worked. True, he can get judgment but he can't collect, because household goods are exempt up to several hundred dollars, which is more than the average tenant, s gooas are worth. Wages, like wise, are exempt, and cannot be rarni sheed. There Is no remedy. If more tenants were honest, if more were clean and careful in the use of houses, more houses would be built for rent ana rents would be lower. There Is a crying need for better laws protecting houses from damage and null ing it a misdemeanor with nnnlshmen oy nne ana imprisonment for those ten ants who swindle landlords out of the! rents a suitable punishment for these petty thieves. Then more houses would be built and rents made cheaper for the decent and nonesi tenants wno pay promptly. G. XV. McCOY, Amusements What tile rreaa Areata Bay. Orpheum Turns Hundreds Away.

Oraaaa. naiats and nrofeaalonej aunnllaa - NORTH END CONDITIONS Employer Asks That These Women Be Left Undisturbed. (This letter is from the proprietor of a. la rue Industrial establishment- In the North End. He makes, request that his name he withheld, and in the circumstances The Oreronlan prints the letter without his signature. PORTLAND. Auk. 21. (To the Editor.) As a business man and an employer of female held, in the North End of this city I want to protest against the Mayor's or ders to drive the woman of the "under world from their present quarters. I also want to compliment our police department for Its splendid work In keeping this class of unfortunates so well disciplined, for the red Upht district' has never been under mch perfect control since I have been a resident of this city as at the present time. For 1ft years T have been dolnr business In Portland, and'durtn- all these years have been an employer of female labor. Only for the existence of such houses as the Mayor now threatens to close, have I been able to assure my women help that they are perfectly safe In coming- to and return- Ins from their dally work. Now, to satisfy a few over-zealous people, or for political purposes, our chief executive says he will drive this necessary class of unfortunates from our city. What will the Mayor do with them? They certainly still have the right to live. Where will they go when driven from their present quarters? What will be the effect upon other and more respectable localities of our city ? Will the Mayor guarantee to our women employes a safe escort to and from their work Will he agree to be responsi ble for the safety of our wives and daugh ters, after he has eradicated this seeming evil from our city? Will he dare point to a single city in all our land, with such a population as Portland now has, where this social condition does not exist? I can remember, and so can the Mayor (If he tries to do so), when these unfor tunate women were allowed to solicit, un molested, on the principal business streets of this city. I can also remember, and so can the Mayor, when the harlot sat In her crib door and Invited each passing stranger into her parlor. I can remember, and so can the Mayor, when all manner of crimes were committed In these dives, but thanks to an efficient police force and give the Mayor credit, if It Is due these conditions hav changed. The "North End' is now as orderly as any part of our city. As an employer of 40 good women, I pro test against any such thing as driving these women from their present abiding place. Here they are and here let them stay. If not, the good people of this community will certainly learn, when too late, what a costly mistake an over-zealous, ambitious unprac tical, self-important chief executive can do, to undo the social, business and moral in terests of onr great and growing city.

Designed by Glenn L. Saxton, architect, 242 and 244, Security Bank building, Minneapolis, Minn. This home, from the exterior, would naturally impress one as a cottage, owing to the way in which the broad side of the roof in front is treated: but If you examine It carefully you will notice that the rooms in the second story are all full height. In carrying out this idea of treat ment of the roof, we get away from the stereotype etyle of a hip or the gable roof, and not only get a'desten that looks better, but one that is symmetrical and harmonious in outline. The size of the house is 32 feet 6 inches wide, and 2? feet deep Over the main part. There is a full basement. The first story is 9 feet and the second 8 feet in the clear. Birch floors are used through out, with Oregon fir finish in the first story and pine to paint in the second. If you are looking for a practical plan covered with concrete. The foundation covers more space than any structure heretofore built in this district. The total cost of the building will be about $100,000.

The Portland Mill & Fixture Company and the Pulley Company, the one on East Morrison and Seventh, and the other on East . Water street, will be united as a large factory on the north side of Sulllvans Gulch on East Twenty sixth street. Here two acres were pur chased several months ago. land the grading for 'the factory will be com pleted during the coming week. A side track from the main line of the O. R. & N. Company is being built to the fac tory site. The main building will be of four stories, 60x128 feet. Beside this there will be a large dry kiln, several smaller buildings and a lumber yard. Manager M. W. Parellus says that the intention is to beautify the factory grounds, and the grading is being done with this In view. The factory will be on a level with Multnomah street. A roadway will be built from Multnomah bridge to the top story of the factory and to (he third and second stories. The road will wind around the grounds to the lower floor. Manager Parelius says the combined concern will employ 100 men. The Investment will be about $50,000. For 20 years the Portland Mill & Fixture plant has occupied the block on East Morrison and Eighth streets, but will be moved as soon as the buildings on the new site are completed. PARK SITE AT BROOKLYN Club Wants Three Acres Set Aside and Improved.' The tract on Milwaukle and Powell streets, which the Brooklyn Republican and Improvement Club Is asking to set aside for a park, contains nearly three acres. A corner lot on Powell and Mil waukee stieets was cut to allow the streetcar track to reach Powell from Brooklyn street. The lot has been im proved by the Park Commission and a waiting place, fountain and concrete drinking trough for horses on Powell street are yet to be provided. The engine-house occupies one lot facing on Powell street. A large building, former-: ly the pumping station of the former East Side Water Company, stands on Mllwaukie street. It is used as a store house by the water committee. The balance of the ground is not occupied. It Is conceded that to get the full benefit 6t this tract for park purposes the old rtorehouse on Milwaukle street will have to be moved. It is a mere, shell and of no great value. Then the low ground will have to be filled In.; With the streetcars running on two' sides the low portions could be filled up quickly and inexpensively. Two acres would be made available for the peo ple of Brooklyn. The park committee from the Brooklyn Club will undertake' to have the ground Improved for thia purpose. The ground is under the con trol of the Water Board. SAN FRANCISCO VETERINARY COLLEGE Next session begins Sept. 15. Catalog free. Dr. Chas Koane. fres . isis Market St., s. f.
