TRADES PLACES FOR VOTES He Offers One-Third of Important House Chairmanships In Ei change for Support Xo Bind ing Agreement Beached. t E. Bean, Representative-elect from I.ane County and candidate for Speaker, la reported to have agreed to give th Statement members of the Multnoma County delegation one-third of the chair manship .of the important Hmise com inlttees and the same ratio of repre sentatlon on each of the commit tees in return for their support of his candidacy. j rus is saia 10 nave oeen iiw reeun oi the conference held In this city 'Tries Bay night between the Lane County man and Ave of the ten Statement members of the legislative delegation from this county. However, so the- report goes, no binding agreement wan entered Into on the terms of the proposal submitted by Bean. It was further reported at the meet Ing that the Statement missionaries who have been visiting the Legislators-elect of the same faith throughout the state had succeeded in signing up only 12 of me pieogea members who would agree to stand together and support for Speaker only a Statement man. In con nection with this not encouraging report came the further information that many of the Statement members would not agree to support Campbell, of Clackamas, for Speaker under any consideration This Is sakJ practically to eliminate Campbell as a serious factor In the con test for Speaker, so far as the Statemen forces are concerned. At the same time, however, those acquainted with the Clackamas County man, his political training and experience in legislative matters, hold to the opinion that he will yet figure in the organization of the House. Strength of Various Candidates. The strength of the different candl dates, reported at the Tuesday night con ference. Is Bald to be as follows: Bean 11: Patton. of Marlon. 12; McArthur. 10. This leaves 27 members unannounced on the Speakership so far as could be as certained by the Statement people. Of the three candidates whose strength has been estimated. Bean is more or less In dependent, sot being aligned dlrertly either with the Statement or the anti Statement people. In the election he did not take the Statement pledge and In the Interest of his candidacy he Is ne gotiating with Republicans generally, ir- . respective of their position -with regard to me statement. Fatton Is a Statement man and McArthur Is the lending anti- Statement candidate. In the report made ny the Statement Representatives. neither t amphell nor McCue. of Clatsop is credited witb. any (allowing. - It is denied vlcoronsly by the Statement men that MeCue at any time could expect any support from them and his position on tne fort or Columbia bill in the last ses sion of the Legislature was such as to place him forever In an unfavorable pflsi tlon when It came to asking for any assistance rrom the members of the dele gation from this county, regardless of nis position on the Statement issue. Representatives-elect Clemens and Abbott yesterday denied emphatically that they had entered Into any compact wun Lampoeu ana nimick. of Clackamas. and McCue. of Clatsop, in order to gain an advantage by throwing their strength at the critical time to the support of some candidate for Speaker and receive In return desirable committee assign ments. Mr. Clemens very plainly de clared that he did not even known Dim- Ick. of Clackamas, while as for McC"ue. he tald. he could not entertain the Idea of forming any alliance with the Clatsop man for the very reasons that operate against McCue's chances for the Speaker ship and which already have been re ferred to. , Clemens States Position. "There is no secret about my position en the subject of organizing the House. said Mr. Clemens yesterday. "In the first place. I stand for determining the question or organization through a Re publican caucus. Secondly. I want the best possibly qualified man to be elected Soeaker. "While I nm not niedp-ed tn nnv candidate 1 do not propose to support lor speaker any man who would use his Influence as presiding officer to defeat, if possible, the election of the people's choice for Senator. Neither will I sup port any candidate for that office who In appointing his committees will do any thing that will tend to divide the Repub lican party into two distinct factions. The many measures of important legis lation that must be considered are en tirely paramount to the question of whether or not a member of the House 'is a Statement or an anti-Statement man and this question should not be allowed to enter into consideration when the committees are formed." While the members of the House are .wrangling over the question of organiz ing, the Republican members of the Sen ate are not Idle. An agreement Is being circulated among the Republican Senators-elect ' calling for a caucus for the purpose of effecting an organization. When the requisite number of Senators have signed this agreement, and only a few more names are needed, the iist will be published. Beach and Bowerman, the two anti-Statement candidates for the Presidency, are working for a caucus and it is understood are ajrreed to take their chances and let the best man win.

Mayor's Effort to Free $42,000 for General re Fails Itterly at Council Meeting. Efforts of the members of the- City Water Board, of which Mayor Lane is chairman, to secure action by the Coun cil. releasing $42,000 of the Board's funds which was appropriated by the Council for the purchase of fire hydrants, failed yesterday afternoon. The Council re fused to change its former action, and the money cannot be used for any other purpose. For the entire year, the Board refused to spend the. money as ordered by the Council, as Mayor Lane and the members of the Board thought that the money should be used to extend the mains to certain sections where water service Is sorely needed. When the demand for hydrants became so strong that it could no longer be held up. either by the Water Board or the Council. Councilman Rushlight Introduced an ordinance, appropriating $42,000 out of the general fund for the purchase of some hydrants, and the ordinance passed. The hydrants have already been ordered by the Water Board. It was hopefl by Mayor Lane and the members of the Board that the Council, having thus purchased hydrants from the general fund, would release the $42,000 previ ously appropriated for that use by the Board, and thus permit the expenditure of that sum for various' purposes, to be decided upon by the Board. When Councilman Kellaher introduced the ordinance to amend the present one. Councilman Rushlight immediately ob jected to it, and made a determined stand against its passage. He won his point, and the $4.000 is still tied up. and can not be used, except for the purchase of hydrants. It is my contention that, as long as the Council appropriated $42,000, that the Water Board should have expended it in accordance with the Council's instruc tions." said Councilman Rushlight, in an Interview after the Council session. What action the Water Board will take' remains to be seen, but it seems that Mavor Lane and the members of the Board will never purchase any fire hy drants with It. The Mayor maintains that the water funds should not be used for that purpose, but the Council has the authority to say for what purpose all city funds shall be expended. CITY TO PAY FOR FIREMEN Council Passes Ordinance Requiring 9 Placing of Men In Theaters. Firemen are to be stationed in all of the theaters of Portland, but Instead of being paid by the theatrical managers of the various 'houses, are to be paid out of the city Are fund. This was the de cision of the City Council yesterday aft ernoon. Councilman Kellaher, who intro duced the ordinance, explained that it has been ascertained by him that the firemen in theaters in other places are paid by the city, end he is willing to accept an amendment to the measure, paying them out of the city funds here. Councilman Baker, who is a theatrical manager, said that he regards the new or dinance as a good law, but he told the Mayor and the members of the Council that he would not consent to the passage of the ordinance as originally Introduced, as he felt that It would 'be an Injustice to theatrical managers to compel them to pay for firemen in the various houses. Inasmuch as It is not the managers, but the Council that is ordering the firemen Into the new service.

Benjamin F. Munk, who was sued, did not put in an appearance to contest his wife's suit. She accused him of having deserted her and their two children, Lora, 7 years old, and 11a, 4. She also said that since March, 1906, he has contributed only $10 for their support. They, were married at Spickard, Mo., June 18, 1899.

ID) A 0)F The Cream of Irvington IS ALREADY THE MOST DESIRABLE RESIDENCE PART OF PORTLAND FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: PROXIMITY. Only a mile and a half from the retail, center of the city. In the midst of the best and most rapidly growing home section. Quick transportation and the finest auto mobile streets to and from "downtown. IMPROVEMENTS. Over $250,000 spent in making the property the finest improved district in the North west. Asphalt pavements, cement walks and curbs, sewer, gas and water mains and everything completed, ready for building. ENVIRONMENT. Being a part of Irvington, its social surroundings cannot be questioned. Being at an elevation of 190 feet, it overlooks the adjoining additions and commands a scenic landscape that people travel thousands of miles to see. PRICES. Considering its improvements, its location and its proximity to the activities of the city, it would be expected that lots in this addition would sell rapidly for as much as $2000. As a matter of fact the prices are $1000 and up. 241 Stark St Portland Oregon ROUNT BEAM TRANSPORTATION. On two carlines, Woodlawn and Alberta. Cars every 3 and 5 minutes all day long.

POSSIBILITIES. Within two years it is conserva tively estimated that the property will double. At present prices it surely will. The tremendous demand for exclusive dis tricts makes PROSPECT PARK unusually desirable. TERIVIS. It has been decided to sell property in PROS PECT PARK upon terms that will be very easily met by those people who are able to build $2500 homes. In this manner it is hoped to build the district up very rapidly. East Side Office E. 7th and Knott Sts. H. L. Mumford, in Charge R E E OND
