THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTKHBfeB 12, 19Q8. 10 "r:1!KGvPtV"r'; fWmK 'ME IS CAKE?" ASK REPUBLICANS Chairman at Headquarters ' Only Once Since Return From East. CAMPAIGN PLANS AT HALT Apathy of Party's Head in Oregon Causes Leaders to Talk or Dis placing Him Inquiry Made as to Real Cause. Dissatisfaction is a mild term to em ploy In describing the feellns; of the members of the Republican state cen tral committee towards State Chair man W. M. Cake. Since his return from the East, ten days ago, Chairman Cake has visited Republican headquarters, in the Chamber of Commerce building-, only once, and that iru Saturday, Sep tember 6, when he presided at a con ference of the state committee. That afternoon he is said to have gone to the seaside to spend Sunday. He Is reported to have returned to Portland Tuesday night, but until a late hour yesterday he had not reported either at his law office or at Republican headquarters. His real whereabouts is a mystery. In the meantime the proposed vig orous Taft-Sherman campaign in this state remains at a standstill. Without an official head there is nothing do ing. Discouraged by the persistent and continued absence by the state chairman, the members of the finance committee, recently appointed by Cake, have been unable to take any action. A preliminary meeting was held the first of the week, but no definite plans were adopted pending the return of Chairman Cake, who was expected not later than Wednesday. But he did not appear that day, nor the next, and yes terday It was impossible to find any trace of him. Inquiry at Republican headquarters elicited the Information from Max G. Cohen, who waa answer ing desultory telephone calls, that the missing chairman "was expected about 4 o'clock." But at the designated . hour Cake was a minus quantity. State Headquarters Deserted. Due to Cake's sulkinees and flagrant neglect of the duties associated with the state chairmanship, the party's headquarters more" nearly resemble a deserted office following an election which resulted In a complete rout by the enemy. It Is true there are desks, several chairs and a telephone, while piles of Taft-Sherman lithographs are distributed In various corners of the two rooms. But there is an absence of activity which Republicans assert the have the right, to expect with a National election only eight weeks dis tant. Cake not only fights shy of the headquarters, but he has neglected to announce the appointment of Clifton N. McArthur as secretary,. as he agreed to do. Because of his absence, the work of soliciting subscriptions for the campaign by the finance commit tee also has been retarded. Mr. McArthur, choice of the state com mittee for secretary, spends a few hours daily at headquarters, but he is dlfflident about assuming too active command, not alone because Cake has neglected for mally appoint him secretary, but be cause there are no funds with which to conduct the campaign. In addition to this. ex-State Senator C. W.. Hodson, chairman of the finance committee, does not enthuse over the situation and it would not take much to cause, him and his colleague on the committee, ex-State Senator Slg Sichel, to withdraw from the committee. Both these men are loyal Republican workers and they willingly assumed places on the committee, resolved to sac rifice their personal business In order to assist the Taft-Sherman campaign In this state. But they have wearied of the indifferent position taken by Cake and unless the derelict state chairman comes to the front and that soon, the chances are that the committee will be disor ganized and the responsibility for the sit uation in this state put right up to Cake. Have Bourne With Cake to Limit. Such action by the finance committee would be averted if leading Republicans of the state had their way. They de clare they have borne with Cake to the limit of their patience and Insist that he either should assume his duties actively or repign and surrender the position to a man who would look after the work and conduct the campaign which should have been started six weeks ago. It is said there are other reasons than that of apathy which are responsible for Cake's conduct and a continuation of his present attitude may force an explanation of the real facts from those that are being cen sured for the failure of the party leaders to proceed with a campaign. Two rays of welcome sunshine crept through the poster-labeled windows and Invaded headquarters yesterday. dis pelling for a few seconds at least the no ticeable gloom which prevailed within. This cheering Invasion came in the form of communications from Mayor George F Rodgers, of Salem, and Wallace Mc .Cs.ma.nt, of this city, both of whom vol unteered to the state committee their services as speakers for the campaign that was supposed to have been launched. COLLEGE MAID TO APPEAR GdDELESS PACER WII.Tj RACE AGAINST TIME. Mule Derby Will Be Second Feature on Opening Day of Coun try Club Meet. Two star attractions are announced for the opening day of the first an nual harness race meet to be held here, week after next. Monday. September 21, will be the opening day, and the great drawing card will be the at tempt of College Maid, the world's cham pion guldeless pacer to break her recent record of 1:09. a mark she Jias lowered from 1:11-4 during the present season. The local track will be put Into the finest possible condition, for this unique trial against time with the hope that this beautiful mare will set a mark here that will remain as one of the traditions of the track. This will be the first time that College Maid has been' given a chance to beat her own time on a one-mile course. and that she will set a much lower jnark than her present record U ai.jjj.uar, 291 ilorrUoD.hat,UiandUi most assured from the fact that where she had always made her trials on h ai re ile courses she has Invariably slowed up and had to be urged on at the end of the first lap. The other stellar attraction will be one that has never been attempted on the Pacific .Coast, in fact, has never been tried anywhere, so far as racing records show. The general manage ment committee will run off a "mule derby." The race will be for a full mile and to add picturesqueness to the novel event, several of the prominent horsemen and officials of the Country Club and other people will drive the long-eared gentry In this race. Chair man Downing has secured several speedy mules from Vancouver. He will draw on the stables owned by H. C Campbell, of this city, and will have one or two entries from Eastern Oregon. The race will be from a stand ing start and will be run off between heats of the 2:14 pace and the 1:16 trot, the class events of the afternoon. Among the drivers who have already agreed to act as reinsmen In this novel speed contest are: H. C. Camp bell, M. D. Wisdom, W. H. Wehrung. E. L Thompson, Tom Richardson, and X L. Meier. . ... There will be about ten entries In this event and the mules will be given the names of the foremost speed champions of the world Lou Dillon, Major Delmar, Sweet Marie, Cresceus, Dan Patch. Prince Alert, Ariel and other equally renowned names. If possible a system of handicapping will be enforced In order to make the contest all the more exciting, although anybody that knows anything about mules knows what long chances the drivers are taking about ever getting around the course. Secretary Wisdom, of the North Pacific Fair circuit says that while an endless number of at tempts, have been made to race mules, the unexpected has always happened and the race, while In no sense an of ficial event that could be recognized, has always proved one of the most amusing affairs that can be Imagined. Two mules are Just as apt to balk, absolutely as they are to get away at the word, and some of them are more than likely to turn around and race up the home stretch. "I have never known a race of this kind to fall to bring the crowds to their feet and to double the spectators up in convulsive laughter," said Mr. Wisdom, yesterday. FALLS DOWN A PRECIPICE Dr. F. R. Chancy, of This City, Is Killed in Alaska. Relatives he, have been notified of the death of Dr. F. R. Chaney, a promi nent young physician, of this city, which occurred as the result of Injuries sus tained by a fall while attempting to scale a peak near Valder glacier In Alaska.

He was removed to Valdex, where everything possible waa done for him, but he died yesterday. Dr. Fred Russell Chaney was one of the moat popular students in the medical department of the University of Oregon while he attended that Institution. He entered from this city and has many friends here. He went to "Valdes to prac tice his profession. WANT TO HEAL OLD BREACH Auto Club and Auto Association May Bury Hatchet. NEW TORK, Sept. 11. Adjustment of the differences between the Auto mobile Club of America and the Ameri can Automobile Association will, it Is hoped, be brought about as a result of the series of conferences now In prog ress between authorized representa tives of the two organizations. Rivalry between the , two associa tions has caused embarrassment to the promoters of the Vanderbllt cup race, through the racing board of the American Automobile Association, resulting !n the curtailment of entries and the organization of a rival automobile racemeet by the Automobile Club of America, to be run at Savannah, Ga, this Fall. An adjustment of the existing differ ences between the two automobile or ganizations. It Is believed, would re sult not only In all probability In larg er percentage of patronage but In creased Interest In both the big rac ing events scheduled for this Fall. ' PERS0NALMENTI0N. W. H.

EXPECT CHANGE IN PLANS Citlxens Declare That More Favor able Ground Can Be Found it Directors Wish to Iieave Morrison. Street. Having filed with the Board of Educa tion a protest against the purchase of a new site for the West Side High School, objecting property-owners on this side of the river will follow up that action by. presenting their personal objections to a further consummation of the plans of the board. The objections of these property owners are based primarily on an alleged unwarranted invasion of an exclusive residence district for High School pur poses. Secondly, the proposed new site is objected to for the reason that, at best, It can meet the needs of the district only temporarily. ' There Is no disposition on the part or the protesting property-owners to proceed arbitrarily or even unreasonably, but they feel that their objections are entitled to the consideration of the Board of Edu cation. For that reason, they are satis fled to leave the matter for its careful deliberation. They Insist tbat to remodel the present West Side High School build ing, which could be done at an expense not exceeding that paid for the new site, together with the erection of another High School at Alblna, would adequately provide Xor the needs of the district for High School faculties for several years to come. Hopes for Favorable Action. "I do not know that there remains soy thing further to be- said regarding the action of the Board of Education," said Philip Lowengart, of the firm of M. Sell ers & CO., yesterday. "We have made known our objections to the plans of the board and have Joined formally in pre senting a petition on the subject to Its members. We feel that In doing so we have acted advisedly and trust to the good Judgment of the directors to regard the situation as we view tt. I am not pre pared to say what action. If any, will be taken by us should our protest be disre garded by the board. As far as that is concerned we do not have any reason to suspect that our complaint will go un- In addition to the objections that have been urged by the Interested taxpayers, Henry Wagner, whose residence property faces that bought by the district, ques tions the advisability of the purchase as a permanent High School site, for the reason that the block Is not sufficiently large to provide for a building that will answer the purposes for more than a few years at best. Proposed Site Too Small. "Even granting the contention of the members of the Board of Education, which I have seen advanced, that the district In which the new site has been purchased Is rapidly being converted into a wholesale district an additional rea son Is presented why the location Is an undesirable one for a High School," said he. ' "Furthermore, If the directors con sider the needs of the district require another High School site and building, why do they not go a few blocks farther back and purchase another block whose dimensions are better suited for the pur poses for which the block already pur chased has been bought. "The block bounded by Burnslde and Couch. Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets Is only 200 feet square and, as has been Intimated by members of , the board, the proposed building would occupy the entire block. By selecting other more desirable property a few blocks farther back, a block 200x460 feet could be had. This would provide ample ground space for such a building as would be required for years to come and would leave room for a lawn and ornamental shrubbery, adding materially to the beauty of the property, which the site already pur chased would not permit of. "It Is not too late for the Board of Education to modify Its plans. It is gen erally understood that the block, which has been purchased for $92,000, can be sold for an advance over Its purchase price, and as Interested property-owners, we feel that auoh action should be followed. It would in no sense embarrass the board and would provide a way better for serv ing the needs of the district." PLANS TO HASTEN BRIDGE EXECUTIVE BOARD JfOT MOVED BT JOSSELYJTS PROTEST. Passes Resolution Declaring Pur pose to Proceed With Erection of Span at Madison. The City Executive Board yesterday afternoon took Important action regarding the proposed new bridge projected for Madison street, which was voted by the people with other matters In June, 1907. By the adoption of a resolution declaring the Intention to proceed with the carry ing out of the provisions of the bill, the Board went on record as doing all within Its power to fulfill the will of the voters to put a new span acrosss the Willamette River as speedily as possible. The letter from President B. S. Josse lyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, to Mayor Lane, protest ing against certain provisions of the bill, was read and was referred to Committee men Greene and Swett "for an Interpre tation," by Mayor Lane. A resolution by Mr. Greene, seeking from the officers of the company proposals on a course of action for the new bridge, was adopted. It also containing a clause to the effect that the Executive Board shall follow out the provisions of the bill voted by the people without delay. In brief, the contention of the railway official, as set forth In the letter to Mayor Lane and reiterated by Chief Counsel F. V. Holm an yesterday after noon. Is that the company has a fran chise for the present bridge at Madison street, the life of which Is yet to run 13 years; that the franchise calls for the maintenance of the bridge by the city for that period of time, at the toil rate of 12u0 annually, and that the city has no right and cannot legally proceed to the construction of the proposed new span on the provisions of the bill, which annulls the company's franchise and fixes a toll rate of not less than $15,000 per annum. Instead of J1200, as at present. President Josselyn, in his letter to the Mavor, declared unequivocally that his company will not permit the city to pro- BOARD URGED djjj eet&j!.i&)nstnottoatftrtiirBXQ9 new bridge short of a contest In the court and that it will fight tha case to the last before It will permit the pro visions of the hill to be carried out. One of the chief provisions of the bill Is that which gives great discretionary powers to the Executive Board, even to the extent that, after the Council has authorized the sale ' of the H50.0G0 of bonds, the Board may Btlll decline to enter into the construction of the span. However, it now appears that the mem bers of the Board will not stand on this point, but win proceed es rapidly as legal processes will allow. There was nothing at the session yesterday afternoon to Indicate otherwise. What the Executive Board now wants from the company is a bill of particulars as to what terms the corporation is will ing to accept, and what it believes it should pay for tolls per annum over the new bridge; as to the terms of the new franchise it is forced to accept. If the courts uphold the provisions of the bilL President Josselyn said in his letter that the company is willing to pay more than $1200 a year for Its privileges on the Madison-street bridge,' but that the com pany positively will not pay anything like 115.000 a year, as called for in the act authorizing the Issuance of the bonds. Now that the Executive Board has taken this action, the company will have to make the next move, if it hopes to block the construction of the bridge. A delegation of East Side citizens, headed by Whitney L. Boise, was- present to urge that the Executive Board proceed with all possible haste to its portion of the duty In putting the tonstruction of the bridge under way. fflDBlSTTHBEIlT LIGHT COMPANY MAT CAtTSE FIGHT OVER CLAIMS. City Contends That the Voltage Called For in Contract Is Not Furnished- Mayor Lane evidently believes that the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, by Frederick V. Holman, its chief counsel, made a covert threat as to Its bid for city lighting, to be. made next Monday, when Mr. Holman was talking before the City Executive Board yesterday afternoon. The sub ject under consideration was the dis puted claims of the company for muni cipal lighting, Mr. Holman being de sirous that the Board authorize Imme diate payment of undisputed claims, without prejudice to the city or the company, which was done. Mr. Holman said. In effect, that it might have a. bearing on the lighting bid, should the Executive Board act on the claims. The only possible bidder is the company represented by Mr. Hol man, and the bid is to be in Monday, the time fixed several months ago. Mayor Lane was plainly "disturbed and ruffled at the statement of Mr. Hol man, and demanded to know If Mr. Holman meant that, unless the Board acted favorably upon the company's claims, the bid would be increased. -If the bid Is going to be Increased," said Mayor Lane, "I am opposed to the action. I want to know first whether it is going to make any difference, and if any, what difference, in the bids. I want to know also whether, If the Board votes to pay these undisputed claims, It will Jeopardize her rights In court, should litigation follow. It is the city that I am looking out for, and I don't want to see her losing any points in this game." "I am not anticipating the action of the company In the matter of bids," replied Mr. Holman, but he did not state whether the bid would be, tem pered according to the action of the Executive Board. T. G. Greene, chairman of the com mittee on street lighting, moved that the Board order the payment of the undisputed claims of the company, amounting now to about J25.004, with out prejudice to either party, which was finally done. For several months the Board, be cause of an Investigation made by the lighting committee, has pruned to about two-thirds the bill of the com pany every month, and by January 1, 1909, there will be probably 25,000 In the disputed fund. The city contends that the voltage called for in the con tract is not furnished in the - present type of lamps, and upon that ground will refuse payment. The company holds the opposite view, and may carry the matter into the courts. A great deal of Interest attaches to the forthcoming bids, which are for city lighting for three and five years. There can be but the one bid. OPENING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE BUFFET, In the New Board of. Trade Building, Corner of Fourth and Oak Streets. The finest equipped buffet, for gen tlemen only, has; just been opened on the ground floor of the Board of Trade building. It la without an equal in the Northwest, being magnificent in equipment and furnishings. The Board of Trade Buffet is being opened by C D. Elder, well known In Tacoma and also in Seattle, where he owned the Horseshoe Liquor Co. Mr. Elder was in the decorating business a number of years ago and it is this knowledge Of decorating that has made It possible for him to have such a handsome buffet. There are fine leather settees, where gentlemen may be seated and rest and talk and not be disturbed by the gen eral public. The hack bar is elegantly arranged In out glass, and the bars are of mahogany. The walls are ar tistically decorated with the finest figures and ornaments and on the floor are ' soft velvet rugs. The electrical fixtures are jintque as well as beauti ful and the lighting effect is most harmonious and pleasing. In fact, the furniture, fixtures, draperies, pictures, etc., are all that one could "wish for. , Each day from 11:30 to 1:30 an ele gant merchant's lunch will be served to patrons. These lunches will be above the average lunch. Mr. Elder has the reputation of running only a first-class buffet, catering to gentle men's trade only and respectfully asks for a call and see his place. Will Move Million Salmon Eggs.
