THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. JITLT 12, 1910. CLACKAMAS GOES IF! FOR ASSEMBLY Returns From Primaries Indi ' cate That Machine Work ers Have Lost. OPPOSITION IS; WORSTED i Scores of Republicans Attend Pre cinct Meetings to 'Administer Re tmke to An tl-Assembly Forces, "-' Who Seek to Rale. OREGON" CITT. Or.,' July Ml. (Spe cial.) Complete returns from the larg est precmcts of ' ciackarhas County that will send 119 delegates, -out of a total of 230 that will be "entitled to seats on the floor of the Republican County As sembly -at Oreg6n--Ctty next Saturday, Indicate clearly . that, the assembly men have won -a -victory.,... . , Only a few of- the precincts so far reported ha-ve taken -a decided- stand against the assembly, and in almost every Instance .the .flne Jtalian hand ofZL'tne ranttassemixites s seen. In Parkplace, Captain" J. T. Apperson, one of the most prominent Republicans In the state, a resent of the Oregon Agri cultural College, and a former official of the United States Land Office, was the victim of a slate, as was W. W. Smith, president of the Parkplace Re publican Club. Both are assembly men and stalwart . Republicans, but they neglected to ' guard against the mar chine, and Charles Livesay, road boss for the precinct of Abernethy. in which Parkplace is located, crowded the pri maries with a lot of men who were working on the roads and elected a complete anti-assembly ticket. Two of the New Era delegates are opposed to the assembly idea, although one of them, D. McArthur, the precinct committeeman, has evidently had a change, of heart since the meeting of the County Central Committee, where lie voted. Jtor the Gibson resolution .to hold' a county assembly. At Clackamas, J. A.'. Talberf and Frank . Talbert are In the delegation that -is against an assembly. J.- A Talbert. w.as.' a member of the Legisla ture of 1901, and Is one of the men who signed an agreement to support Henry W. Corbett for United-States - Senator and then failed to make good his writ ten pledge. The Beaver Creek delega tion -Is -split on the assembly rock, and the -voters Instructed the delegation, by a vote of 12 to 7, to oppose the plan for which the assembly is called, for the election of 55 delegates to the state assembly. But at Oregon City, which has 34 votes In the three precincts. West Ore gon City, Harmony, Estacada, Boring, Eagle Creek. ' Gladstone, Milwaukie, Canby and Needy, the delegates are practically unanimous In favor of the assembly ;.' Idea;- . Gladstone has . . ln7 structed Its delegates to favor the nom ination -of a county ticket. in Milwaukie; a resolution condemn ing the assembly failed to pass, and -i tfi Voters -4abpeS -a .compromise reso lution in which It is agreed that the delegates shall not take such action as will destroy the primary law. The Es tacada, Boring and Eagle Creek dele gations are strong for a county ticket, and if the demand from Eastern Clack amas for a ticket is as strong as is In dicated, there is every reason to believe that the Oregon City delegates will join forces with the country and place a ticket in the field. Harmony, the home of John H. Gibson, will send a strong assembly delegation to Oregon City next Saturday. Scores of Republicans attended the primaries In Clackamas County for the express purpose of administering a re buke to the anti-assembly forces for their' methods employed In sending out the Kxuse letter, which branded the assembly movement as "machine poll tics." If there Is any machine in Clack amas, it is that operated by the men who are devoting their time to fighting the Republican organization. There Is . no doubt that 55 delegates to the state -assembly will be elected next Saturday. There -are enough as sembly men already reported as dele gates to the county assembly to ac complish this, and there Is a possibil ity that a county ticket will be named, artd there will be no doubt of It If there is any kind of a demand from the 'country delegates for it.

Brace Denies Cliarges of Mis treatment of Parent, and Court Withholds Decision. VANCOUVER. Wash.; July 11. (Spe cial.) Heartrending and pitiful was the case today In the Superior Court, when Mrs. Marietta Brace, 84 years old, alleged that she was. mlstieated and not provided for properly by her son, M. O. Brace, to whom she deeded her only home two years ago upon his promises that-she would be supported and cared for during the remainder of her life. The case- was' tried before Judge O. R. Holcomb. of Adams County, who is sitting In a number of . cases in Judge McMaster's stead, he being disqualified. The case was an action on Mrs. Brace's part to secure her property again, as she- said she .needed some thing to support her. . . When asked if shd -would go back and live with her son . and his family again, she replied emphatically that she would not and added: that she would BO to the poorhouse first. "I have tried it now - over a year, and I do not want any more of it. M. O. Brace, the son, bought wit nesses to prove that he always treated his mother kindly and. they so testified. Mrs. Brace was asked Jf they ever mis treated her when any neighbors or- friends were present, and she . said, "Indeed, they did not." " It was while she was compelled to sit day by-day, unnoticed by. her son or his family, that Mrs. Brace .suffered. "His family is big, the house is small, so there is no place there for me," said the aged woman. "Grandma" Brace is an Adventist. and it appears that her. family objected to her reading to thenv from her fam ily Bible, and quoting scriptures and asking them to commit verses to mem ory. The Judge took the case under advisement for 60 days, hoping that the difficulties will be patched up. TROLLEY CAR BRINGS MAIL Only Southbound Pouch from Port " .land Carried by Oregon Electric.

MONEY WANTED TO TRAVEL Young Man Arrested in Portland Is , Taken to St. Helens to Answer Charges Prisoner Hopes for Light Sentence. ST. HELENS, Or., July 11. (Special.) Billy Moriarty, aged 18. is in the County Jail at St. Helens charged with stealing seven horses and a buggy from persons living in St. Helens and vlcln lty. He was arrested In Portland Sun day afternoon and brought to St. Hel ens Monday. He admits all the charges against him and intends to rely upon the mercy of the court for a sentence to the Reform School until the age of 21. . Bill is one of the many youths who have been allured by- the charms of easy money. In the past he has been employed as a hotel clerk in Missouri and Eastern cities and carries letters recommending him strongly for his in dustry and honesty. As a boy he was a pupil, of Kemper Military School, of Klrksvllle, Mo., and has a diploma, showing that he graduated with honor from that institution. Prowess in Ring, His Boast. He held the amateur championship of Missouri as a boxer, and when, out of work in St. Helens attempted to pull off a boxing contest here, but was inter fered with by the authorities. Then according to his story, he fought young Gans, a colored welterweight, at Pen dleton in June, knocking him out in nine rounds. His next and last box ing contest was at St. Johns, Or., on July 4, where be defeated. a man named Glllen, at the Armory, in six rounds. Moriarty says his troubles have been caused by the desire" to secure enough money to take him to the East, where he thought he could get remunerative employment at his profession. He knows nothing of the ownership of the horses or buggy he stole except that It struck him that the buggy which" H6 saw ih the shed would do to ride to Linnton in, as he had become tired of riding horseback.

The exact amount he realized for the horses cannot be ascertained, but for one of Berdahl's horses, worth easily $200,. he . received tl26. The approxi mate value., of the horses and buggy was 1 1200. Sheriff White does not be lieve the story of Morlarty's boxing contests, thinking they are Invented to explain ..his. possession of money. He was arrested by Sheriff Stevens at Linnton on a telephone message from Sheriff White, who had him under sur veillance since the attempt to pull off the boxing contest here some eix weeks ago. The Sheriff has located all of the stolen horses with the exception of Alexander Ask's, and their owners will recover them. -- PHONE CALL LEADS TO ARREST Horsethief Caught for Theft That Did Not Materialize. When J. H- Hitchings, a wood dealer, telephoned to the police Sunday morning that he had lost his horse and buggy and suspected it had been stolen, he had no idea . it would lead to the capture of a thief who did not steal his horse, but who. stole six other horses in Columbia County. Had Hitchlngs telephoned to the police when he found his horse a few hours later, the capture of the wholesale horsethief might still have been pre vented. Rut he did, not, so the police and Sheriff Stevens were looking for a horsethief long after Hltchings' buggy had been found. Sunday John Kakritz, who lives on the Linnton road, telephoned to the Sheriff that William Moriarity was trying to sell him a horse and buggy, and that he suspected It had been stolen. Instead of asking the man where he found It, Kakritz pretended he intended to buy It, and so detained Moriarty until Sheriff Stevens arrived in bis automobile. It was found that the vehicle Moriarty was trying to - sell was not Hitchlngs'. The arrested man gave his name as Cunr nlngham, and said he lived at St. Helens, and was a son of Mrs. G. L. Cunningham. Sheriff White, of Columbia County, was a't once communicated with, and yester day morning positively identified the horse as that of S. S, Montagu's. Moriarty ' confessed to . Sheriff Stevens and Sheriff White yesterday that he stole two black colts belonging to John Bro dehl, a horse belonging to rr. H. R. CllfT. another belonging to W. B. IMllard, and another, belonging to I. G. Wickstrom, besides the Montague horse. . B. Brits chgi, a scavenger living on the Linnton road, bought three of the horses, Bro dehl'a.two and Wlckstrom's. The buggy of a preacher living at Holton was also stolen, as well as the horse of Axel Ask. Moriarty denies having taken the Ask horse. ' The accused man. who is but 18 years old, broke down and wept when asked to tell the truth about the horse-thieving yesterday. He said he would not have taken the animals If his stepfather had treated him "half way decent." , He had followed-boxing, "he said, . and .when his mother wanted him to go to work in the mill, told her he could make plenty of money that way, that' he didn't have to work. But Sheriff White blocked his two at tempts at prizefighting, and as his. money, was gone he ."went out in broad daylight" and led away the horses. The two blacks he sold for $250, he said, and paid his debts with the money. He was taken back to St.. Helens by Sheriff White yes terday afternoon. Vale Bank Deposits Growing. VALE. Or.. July .

MAIL,1 ORDERS FILLED. ern Oregon hope for the establishment of a pre-coollng plant at Medford in the near future, which will make peach and pear-raising a stable business en terprise. Pre-cooled peaches and fears, it is believed, could be held until early Spring or shipped around the world if necessary. .This would do away : with the necessity of quick marketing. This extension of the market would be es pecially valuable In the peach Indus try. Thus far the Rogue River pear has been at a premium In Eastern markets and the growers have had no difficulty in marketing their crop at fancy prices. Last year the heavy bearing Bartlett sold as high as $5 a box in Boston, while of the 11 carloads of Bartletts shipped from the seven and a half-acre tract of John G. Gore, not a single box sold for less than $3. ' The pear blight which swept away the orchards of dallfornia has been carefully and successfully controlled In Southern Oregon under the super vision of Professor O'Gara f and his corps of Inspectors, who are In the pay of Jefferson County. No Diseased Trees Allowed. The Rogue River district is said to be one ot the cleanest fruit section? of the world. No diseased fruit trees are allowed to stand. In the Rogue River. Valley the- edict of the Inspec tors is that if a person desires fruit trees he must take care of them, whether he has an orchard or a single tree in his back lot. . . The Fruit Growers" Association will handle- nearly all the fruit of the val ley this Fall, and greater care than ever before will be taken to see that a first-class, full-weight pack Is made of all the fruit shipped out. The fruit association expects to handle 95 per cent of the crop. The packers of the valley are being registered with the association. The attempt is 'being made to organize the marketing side of the fruit industry so as to get the fruit to. the consumer af as little expense as. possible and to see that no certain market is overcrowded with shipments. The apples and. pears will be .of good quality. The little damage done by hail last Spring has been eliminated by care in thinning.
