The four leading candidates maintained their positions, but after that there was a break in the column. Several hitherto unimportant candidates climbed danger ously near the top. The feature of the election thus far is the running qualities' of Sam Welnsteln, the newsboy candidate, who forewent a swimming party yesterday afternoon to electioneer. As a result of Jils own activities and those of his friends, young WeiiH9tein was the only one of the four leading candidates to make any appre ciable gains in the number of their votes. Compared with his 4206 at the close of voting Wednesday night, his total showed 6779 yesterday. Neither of the other three top candidates showed a gain of over 100 votes. Moses Sachs Gains. Moses Sachs was one of the surprises yesterd&y. He leaped from 11th place to fifth, and now must be reckoned with as a factor in the election. Neil Malar key, who was in 22d place Wednesday, yesterday climbed up to seventh place. Crosby Sherlin, who was in 13th place "Wednesday, yesterday climbed up to ninth place. Lester Oakley, who occupied fifth place "Wednesday, was crowded down to eighth place. George Colton. the Portland Academy candidate, easily maintained his position at sixth place, gaining over 1000 votes. The leaders are watching him closely and some fear today's develop ments may show him nearer tire top. "We are well pleased with the way the voting is going," said W. H. Chapin, a member of the election committee. "We are rather expecting Friday and Saturday to be heavy voting days." Among the larger purchases of votes was that of N. Campbell, secretary of the Automatic Safety Gas Burner Com pany, who sent a check for $25, which meant 2500 votes for "Bud" Kribs. "I know Mr. Kribs to be eminently quali fied for the place," he said in the letter. "Be Boy for Week," Slogan. "Be a Boy For a Week" is to be the popular slogan next week in' Portland, if the plans of the committee mature. From the moment the Columbia Park Boys Club, of San Francisco, arrives here on a special car Sunday morning. June 26, until it puils out of the Union Depot Friday morning. July 1. there will be nothing In Portland .worth seeing, hearing or knowing about but boys, boys, boys! The Portland boy Mayor and his Coun cil will be announced Monday and will be installed in quarters in the City Hall, where petitions and grievances may be presented. In his own official automo bile, the boy Mayor will visit the various municipal organizations and proposed park sites and will report upon condi tions. The boy Mayor and his Council will be honor guests at all entertainments of the week and these will come thick- and fast, beginning Sunday night at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium with a free illus trated lecture on "My Work With Bova" by Sidney S. Peixotto, the head worker of the Columbia Park Boys' Club. Banquet to Be Held Monday. On Monday the visiting boys. 40 in number, with some invited guests, will do tenaerea a banquet at the Hotel Port land, following a concert in the hotel court, by the club band. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons Multnomah Field will be used for foot ball and baseball games, the San Fran Cisco teams playing the Portland News boys teams. The work of Mr. Peixotto among the club boys of San Francisco has grown to be one of the most successful works of the kind In the country and he, as a leader, is compared to Judge Ben Lind say, in his knowledge of. the soul of a boy. A picked lot of the club boys are taken on a tour each year as a special mark of favor and these boys have come to be very clever entertainers. This they will attempt to prove on next Tuesday night, when they will give an original vaude ville performance at the Portland Thea ter, some of the features of which will be a quaint newsboy act, a quartet of cornets, some clever dancing, songs by Sheridan Williams, the boy baritone, a pyramid team and a roaring farce com edy playlet. On Wednesday night at the same place the boys will give a minstrel show with original features. Sports Carnival Thursday. Thursday night the festivities will close with a grand sporting carnival on Multnomah', Field and a grand rally to which all boys' organizations from neigh boring cities are invited. The visiting; boys with their own band! Portland newsboys, lttO strong and other organizations will be in line for the march to Multnomah field, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Due announcements will be made of lines of march and details by the committee. "Some people are asking-, what does it all . mean ?" said Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, of the committee. "Just this: That the time has come for the newsboys of Portland, formed Into an association, to have a clubhouse, where a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowl ing alley, reading rooms, and manual train ' Cut this out and send vots to Boy OREGONIAN BALIyDT FOB One Cent For Mayor Help raise $10,000 for Boys' Club.

As one ol the candidates for boy mayor said yesterday, 'I don't care so much about being mayor, but 1 would like to be in the council, for I know something already about parliamentary law and it would be such good training for me. "The candidates are ss&lready outlining their policies, one having publicly announced that his first official act would be to sug gest that the city buy Council Crest."

Thirty days will be fixed for the ad vertising of the first block of 1250,000 Broadway Bridge bonds. Meanwhile, Mayor Simon and his associates are de vising a plan whereby the city will be systematically canvassed In disposing of this issue at par among local friends of the project. No word of protest was uttered against the ordinance revoking Blazier's license to sell liquor with meals at 233 Main Btreet. as recommended by the liquor li cense committee. Complaints were made that rowdyism held sway there. Councilman Beldlng Introduced an ordi nance prohibiting the gypsies now camped around the city from "telling fortunes." It was to have passed with an emergency clause, placing it into im mediate effect, but there were not enough Councllmen present to do this, so it was laid over until the next session. It was said thnt the gypsies are a great nuisance all over the city. As the Oaks' management declined to pay any heed to the request of the Coun cil to eliminate public dancing at its park, the Council, through Mr. Lombard, has before it an ordinance to revoke the license for the resortN It is proposed to grant a new license, with the dancing feature eliminated. Dancing has been stopped in all other resorts in Portlana, -and the rule Is to be made general. An ordinance was passed fixing the hours when wood may be left on the streets or sidewalks. In the fire limits it will not be allowed on street or side walk longer than 15 hours, and outside of the fire limits it will be allowed not longer than 30 days. Owing to the urgent need of rooms in the municipal- building for City Attorney Grant's offices, the Council adopted a resolution notifying County School Su perintendent Robinson to vacate by July 1. CAFE PROPRIETORS HELD Court Holds Place May Be Restau rant One Minute, Saloon Next. Clarence Blazier and Thomas Ryan, proprietors of the "Valley Cafe, a re sort on Second street, were held to the grand jury in Municipal Court yester day to answer to a charge of selling liquor to a minor. Lllo Clark, a girl 19 years old, was the principal witness for the proseccution. She told the court that she was an orphan, with no living relatives, and that within the past few weeks she had been In the habit of fre quenting the grills. In company with a woman called Cora. The witness said that she went with this woman to the grill on June 11 and ordered a sloe gin rlckey, . which was brought to her. She said t!hat no food of any kind was brought with the drink. She testified that on numerous occasions prior to- that time she had had drinks without food it! the place. It was the contention of the defense that the place was an "open public res taurant or dining-room," excepted by the statute from the operation of the law. It was shown that there was a range In the back of the room and a cook on duty. Judge Bennett held that a place might be a restaurant one min ute and a saloon the next, if it was used as a place to sell drinks without meals. He, therefore, held the defend ants to the grand jury, fixing bonds at $500 in each case. The witness, Lilo Clark, was sent to the House of the Good Shepherd to be held until, the trial.'

Ranking alleges was stolen from her room in the Oregon Ho tel, Al. re Armond was accosted by the woman on the street yesterday and charged with the theft. "When he denied his guilt the matter was reported to police headquarters and De Armond v. a. 4 The prisoner is a bellboy at the Ore gon Hotel. He is 23 years old and told the officers that he has a sick wife-in a local hospital. He confessed to the theft of the pin. Out of consideration for his youth and the fact that he has a wife dependent upon him, he will probably be allowed to plead guilty to a charge of vagrancy and will receive a term on the rockplle.

LUMBER MAN IS SILENT WEYERHAEUSER NOT TALKING CONCERNING IDAHO CHARGES. Belief in Boise Is That Syndicate Has Acquired Control of Idaho Northern Railroad. BOISE, Idaho, June 23. (Special.) J. P. Weyerhaeuser, of the Weyerhaeuser tim ber syndicate, is" in Boise from St. Paul to inspect the holdings of the company in this state, particularly in the Long Valley country, where the syndicate pro poses to take active steps in the finan cing of the extension of the Idaho North ern Railroad out of Nampa north into the rich timber belt held by the Payette Lumber Company, a Weyerhaeuser sub sidiary. In view of the probability that the House of Representatives may order a special investigation of timber frauds al leged to have been entered into by the Weyerhaeuser syndicate In Shoshone, Kootenai and Nez Perce counties. Mr. Weyerhaeuser's silence on the topic of the investigation is regarded as sig nificant. The Poindexter resolution im plicates members of the state land board, as well as Earl Marvin and George , T. Day, state land selector and commis sioner, respectively. Poindexter's resolu tion declares that a " large number of bona-fide settlers and their families are now living upon the land" In the three counties, but that they are being forci bly Interfered with by the syndicate and land board. . The name of Earl Marvin is mentioned as having aided the plans of the Weyer haeuser syndicate to acquire by means of Northern Pacific scrip the timber in derogation of settlers' rights. Frank J. Davies is named as co-operating with Marvin. Day is charged with being a Weyerhaeuser employe. althoughhe holds the office of State Land Commissioner. While "Mr. Weyerhaeuser is keeping si lent -with respect to these charges, he is not inactive. In company with H. A. Fischer, of Chicago, and William Car son, of Burlington, president of the Bar ber Lumber Company, he inspected the holdings of that company In the Boise basin as well as its mammoth mill seven miles north. This mill has not turned a wheel for two years, owing to the litiga tion over the title of the timber. In order to tap the rich timber belt in Long Valley owned by the Weyer haeusers, a steam railroad must be con structed. It is rumored that the Weyer haeusers have acquired control of the Idaho Northern. DALLES WOMAN IS CALLED Mrs. Andrew Caused by McDonald's Death Heart Failure. THE DALLES, Or., June 23. (Special.)
