THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 18, 1910. WILSON DENIES HE HAS ENTERED DEAL Candidate for Senator Has Made No Agreement With Judge Humphries. NEW STRAW VOTE TAKEN Burke's Resolution Regarding Ori ental Iabor Revived as Issue in Campaign United Effort to Beat Poindexter Is Trged. SEATTLE. Wuh, July 17. (Special.) In a speech at Port Angeles, Senator John L. Wilson took vigorous excep tion to newspaper reports concerning his candidacy for the Senate. He de nied emphatically the charge that he has been attempting to control nomina tions to the Supreme bench, and par ticularly that he is endeavoring by that method to eliminate Judge Humphries from the Senatorial contest. "I have not seen John E. Humphries since this campaign started," said Sen ator Wilson. "I have had no communi cation with him directly or Indirectly, and nobody representing me has seen him or made any sort of an agreement with him. I have endeavored to keep myself and my friends from mixing In judicial affairs, believing that the se lection of judges should be by all the people." Senator Wilson also resented the im putation that in 1888 he showed Demo cratic tendencies. "In that year," he said. "1 was in the Republican conven tion of Spokane County and in the Re publican territorial convention which nominated John B. Allen delegate to Congress. I was practically born in the Republican party. My father helped to organize the party In Indiana, and I cast my first vote for that silent sol dier, Ulysses S. Grant." Humphries Counters on Burke. Judge Humphries, who is the only one of the three Seattle Senatorial aspirants not making a tour of the state, has countered on his opponents by taking some straw ballots of his own. He has been making considerable capital out of Judge Thomas Burke's attitude toward Oriental labor and the admission of Japanese and Chinese. Humphries copied the Burke resolution adopted at the Seattle Chamber of Commerce March 20, 1907, and caused a canvass to be made among electors. His representative interviewed 2112 voters, and found only 27 In favor of the reso lutions. An Idea of Humphries' plan of campaign may be gathered from his statement. "The ordinary elector," he declares, "has brains enough to know that a man who has advocated for years the Immigration of Chinese and Japanese, their naturalization and enfranchise ment, and has been the defender of the corporations and trusts, will not, and cannot now turn his' back upon those great interests and vote for the com mon people. The only way to get a parcels post, the only way to get strong Chinese and Japanese exclusion laws, is to see that the representative, the associate and the adviser of the special interests is kept out of the United States Senate." Coincident with Judge Humphries' at tack has appeared a declaration by Judge Burke, saying that since he be came a candidate for the Senate his position as regards Orientals has been grossly misrepresented. "I believe." he says, "in the policy which, while fully protecting our people aeainst the immi gration of coolie labor, will cultivate and maintain friendly relations with our neighbors across the sea and lay the foundations for a great commerce which will result in giving employ ment, prosperity and happiness to mil lions of American worktngmen long after the contentions of this hour are forgotten and we shall have passed sway." Judge Burke further declares that It is to the interest of each country con cerned snd in the interest of the peace of the world, to favor exclusion laws and treaties such as the United States already has with the nations of the Far East. Jay R. Thomas, president of the South Side Political" Club, has applied to Lucius G. McGuire for enrollment in the John L. Wilson Senatorial Club. Mr. Thomas has also sent the following letter to the Burke Senatorial Club: RelievinR- the contest for the United States Senatorship lies between Miles Poindexter and John L. Wilson. I desire' to have my name withdrawn from the Burke club In order that I may support the King County candidate having the best chance to win. Poindexter to Be Avoided. "It is now apparent that the fight has simmered down to a contest be tween Wilson and Poindexter. Under such conditions there is only one course open to Kinsr County Republicans. We must support John L. Wilson: and the same is true of all Republicans, regard less of locality. Mr. Poindexter is not a Republican and is not entitled, to any consideration from the voters who be lieve in the principles of Republican ism. His recent attempt to attach the name of Roosevelt to his campaign is simply in line with his political record, nd was properly branded by Colonel Roosevelt for its true worth. The hon ?st. right-thinking Republicans of Eastern Washington concede that the Senator should be from the West Side, snd. as It is now plain that Mr. Wilson Is the only West Side candidate who has developed the necessary strength. feci It my duty to request the with drawal of my name from the Burke club, and to render all possible support to the candidacy of Mr. Wilson." Both Senator S. H. Piles and Repre sentative Will E. Humphrey, who have lust returned from Washington. D. C. re of opinion that Insurgency has spent Its force throughout the United States and is now a waning issue. Sen ator Piles, who intends to enter the Burke campaign, says he cannot believe that Representative Poindexter. who never voted with his party on a party measure. can be considered seriously a candidate for the Senate. "The people of Washington." continued Senator Piles, "must be as familiar with Na tional affairs as those of the Middle and Eastern States, who have begun to repudiate the insurgents." Representative Humphrev, in the course of a visit to the John L. Wilson Senatorial Club, expressed enthusiasm over the work accomplished by the re cent Congress, and said it had greatly strengthened the Republican party in the minds of the people everywhere "T am a Republican without any 'ifs.' huts' or 'ands.'" declared Humphrey. The false Issue with which the' Demo crats started off has just gone to smash." Senator Piles and Representa tive Humphrey were guests of the Seat tle Commercial Club early in the week R- A. Balllnger. Secretarv of the In- rior. who has Just returned to his home in Seattle for the Summer, re iterates his determination not to re sign. He declines to discuss politics, and declares that he will not take an active part in the present campaign. PAVING CONTRACT GIVEN Cottage Grove Is to Revise City Charter to Meet Growing Needs. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., July 17. (Special.) The City Council in an ad journed meeting of a regular session last night opened bids for the paving of Main street from the railroad track west to the Coast Fork of the Wil lamette River, through the business portion of town, and of East Fourth street from the Christian Church to the Southern Paciflc Railroad track. As the advertisment for bids invited only contractors for bltulithlc pave ment, there was only one bidder, the Warren Construction Company, which was J2.S5 per square yard with exca vating, filling and curbing extra After some debate, the Council unanimously awarded the Main street contract to the Warren Construction Company at the bidding price, and laid the Fourth street matter on the table. Work on Main street will be started soon by the contractors, who will purchase their crushed rock from the city at 1.50 per square yard and pay the city to per day for the use of the steam roller purchased by the city some time ago.

Almost 4000 people gathered in the big canvass auditorium in Chautauqua Park here this afternoon to hear an address by Joseph W. Folk. ex-Gov- cancer is suggested as a possible method of cure. The suBgestlon is made in the cur rent number of the Medical Record by Dr. John A. Hartwell, professor of clinical surgery in the Cornell Medi cal College, who also is connected with the Bellevue and Presbyterian Hospi tals. Hitherto transfusion has been em ployed where generally the patient Is anaemic or is reduced In vitality. Dr, Hartwell refers to the remark able experiments of Dr. Hodenpyl, at Roosevelt Hospital, who was able to cure severe cases of cancer. "Dr Hodenpyl's recent exxperlences," writes the physician, "in bringing about a cure for cancer by the Injection of peritoneal exudate from a person spon taneously recovered from cancer is the first practical step In this direction. Spontaneous cures of cancer in the hu man subject are eo rare and the co incident factor of obtaining a body fruld from such a person without det riment to himself is so much rarer, that the advantages to be gained from this precise method must of necessity be limited. "The fact, however, is clinically es tablished that cancer can be eradicated from the human subject by the aid of some material produced in another hu man being recovering from cancer. "We may justly hope that patients so cured will have in their blood ele ments which will retard the growth in a third patient. "Furthermore, every surgeon can re call cancer cases In which he has done what he considered an imcomplete op eration, and yet a permanent cure has resulted. Such a patient may have re covered by virtue of his natural re sistance, which only need to be relieved TUXES TO DE EQUAL Assessment of Mortgages Is Given Only as Suggestion.

PRUNE PROSPECTS BETTER Valley Growers to Develop Shipment of Green Fruit. SALEM. Or.. July 17. (Special.) TVhat opened as a decidedly off prune year is developing encouraging signs for prune raisers in the hills south of the city. Something better than half an ordinary crop is prophesied and the fruit will be of exceptionally high quality. Even 'in the lowlands, where no prunes were ex pected, growers are finding an excellent stand and on the hills development is shown relatively, two-thirds of a crop being found in many of the orchards. Expecting higher prices and superb quality in addition, growers believe that there will be large shipments of green prunes. This method of handling was tried experimentally in the valley last year and 65 carloads were shipped to the East. At the time Eastern growers as serted that they could have used 200 car loads, and it is expected this branch of the prune industry in the Willamette Valley will develop rapidly. Nearly 1000 additional acres of prunes are growing in this vicinity this year. At a meeting of the Salem Fruit L'nion yesterday it was decided to ship 30 cars of green prunes as a. start. WATER ELECTION CALLED Jacksonville , Citizens to Vote on Bonds for Gravity System. JACKSONVILLE. Or.. July 17. (Spe cial.) The City Council . has called an election for August 1 for the purpose of voting an issue of J30.0OO bonds for the establishment of a gravity water sys tem. The Council was unanimous in voting for the election call, and, judging from the sentiment of the people, the election vote will be practically unani mous, also. The present water system has-long been inadequate for the needs of the city, and every August there is a drying up of lawns. Bids for construction will be .called for as soon as the matter Is decided." said Councilman Dunford. "as we want to get this thing moving quickly, so that we may accomplish as much as pos sible this season." NAVY CANDIDATES LOSE Oregon District "Down and Out" AVith Annapolis Men. - SALEM. Or.. July 1". (Special.) Rep resentative Hawley. who returned from Portland tonight, has received word that both the candidates from this district, principal and alternate, failed at the ex amination for the Cnited States Naval Academy at Annapolis, and as the third alternate dropped out before the exam inations, this district is now left with out appointees. The Representative is unable to state what he will do in the nature of filling the vacancies, but It is possible he will establish a system of competitive exami nations, which has been tried once pre viously and with much success. He says this matter will not be given considera tion for some time, however. Xomi nations Not Xnmerous. MONTBSANO. Wash.. July 17 (Spe cial.) Today was the first day for filing of nominations for the September pri maries. There was not the rush that was expected at the office of the Audi tor. The office of Commissioner for the first district is the most sought after hus far, four candidates having filed notices.. ernor of Missouri, on "The Era of Conscience." An excursion from Leb anon and a special train on the Albany Springfield branch brought a large crowd of people and. many came from all parts of the surrounding country.

Wilson and Colonel Hofer Debate at Chautauqua. CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS. Gladstone Perk. July 17. (Special.) The Chautau qua Sundays are always quiet, and the first one of the- 17th annual session was no exception. Several hundred people came out from Portland and Oregon City, however, to attend the religious exercises this morning and afternoon, and joined the large number of campers In listening to the various programmes. Colonel George W. Bain, of Kentucky, was prevented from making his appear ance because of illness, and this after noon's session was enlivened by a debate on the prohibition question between Rev.

Young Man Makes Heroic Effort to Save ' Mrs. S.' A. Pyle and Is Himself Almost Crashed. CASTLE ROCK, Wash., July 17. (Special.) Unheeded by her compan ions, who thought only of their own safety. Mrs. S. A. Pyle. an aged woman of this city, was left standing- in the path of, an approaching train which struck her and killed her Instantly this afternoon, a few minutes after 5 o'clock. With a number of others, Mrs. Pyle, who is a pioneer resident of this city, 78 years old, started to cross behind an outgoing train only to be struck down by the incoming Shasta Limited bound for Seattle. Northern Pacific train No. 33S was late and standing on the siding wait ing for the limited. The old woman was one of a party waiting for it to pass that she could go over to the postoffice and mail some letters. As it moved out all started across the tracks and stepped into the path of the In coming limited. Her' younger com panions jumped quickly to safety and left the old woman standing bewildered in the middle of the tracks. People' standing on the platform saw her danger and shouted a warning. Evidently she did not hear them or was too frightened to move. A young man then ran and shoved her ahead, but not far enough, for although she cleared the rails the bulkhead struck her and hurled her about 25 feet against a telegraph pole with such force that the life was crushed out of her at once. Many bones were broken and her chest was crushed In. The young man had a close call, being struck a glancing blow by the bulk head, which tore the tail of his coat as it passed and grazed his arm and leg. Horror stricken, the bystanders at once rushed to the assistance of the woman but found her dead. The Cor oner was summoned from Kelso. The engineer of the train says he was run ning but eight miles an hour at the time of the accident, but many by standers think faster time was being made. Mrs. Pyle is survived by two daugh ters, Mrs. Minnie Studebaker and Mrs. Laura Merrill, of this place. She leaves also a number of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Farming Exhibits to Be Shown.

As this section is both an irrigat ed and dry-farming district, a large number of excellent exhibits will be secured. Victim of Anto Accident Dies. ABERDEEN, Wash.. July 17. Em mett Rowland, the Knight of Pythias victim of a beach automobile accident, died at midnight. He was aged 23 and unmarried. His father is coming from Kansas to look after the funeral ar-ransrernanta given by Commissioner Charles V. Gal loway, who Is in McMinnville today. Over the telephone he said: "In many counties mortgage notes have been assessed and in some thev have not. This establishes a material difference In the status of the assessment rolls when they are completed, and gives to a num ber of counties a decidedly increased as sessed valuation and in consequence a decreased levy. In equalizing between the counties It is logical that those coun ties which have been assessing mortgage notes should be given credit against those counties that have not assessed such notes. Letter Not Mandatory. "There is nothing mandatory in the recent letter issued by the commission. The suggestion is made to all Assessors to call their attention to the law. Some objection has been filed against going through the records ,in search of mort gage notes, inasmuch as many times mortgages are satisfied without the sat isfaction being recorded. . This creates considerable trouble for the Assessor, In asmuch as he often . assesses satisfied mortgages. "It is shown by experience, however, that a search of the records has the sal ient feature of curing those defects. In Baker County the improvement has been very marked since the system of search ing the records for mortgage notes was put in vogue and other places where it has been tried county officials have re- MOTHERS WHO HAVE DAUGHTERS h4 J Find Help in Lydia E.

SPRINGFIELD, Or.. July 17. (Spe cial.) The Commercial Club has de cided to spend about J2000 of the pub licity fund for . advertising in Western mediums. A descriptive folder, show ing recent progress In agriculture and manufatcuring, will be printed. One fact that will be broujrht oat is that more meat is sent out of Spring field than from any other city on tha Coast from Portland to San Francisco. This goes to the many camps, for which Springfield Is the base of supplies. It is said also that more freight passes through Springfield now than through any other city in Oregon except Port land.
