Crlppen Won't Talk. Crlppen today was permitted to re ceive the first message that has reached him from the outside since his arrest. The police have denied all request, to see and speak with the prisoner and threw up their hands In amaxement at the Idea of a newspaper Interview. To day, however. Judge Angers authorized the prison governor, Joseph Morln. to visit Crlppen and give him a verbal message asking If he would make a public statement. The magistrate Im posed the terms that anything Crlppen might say must be put by him in writ ing and submitted to the court before It was given out. Morln found the prisoner In the same silent and morose state that be has preserved since his Imprisonment. When told that he had a chance to send some word to the outside world, Crlppen displayed not the slightest In terest. , "Is there anything you wish to say?" persisted the Jailer. The accused man answered "no." Even the unemotional Dew, the typ ical English detective, has been affect ed by Miss Leneve's plight. "I am sorry for her." he said today. "I do not believe she knew anything about it." JUDGES TO BE NOMINATED irontlnued From First Paae. ' five of the present Judges. Sixty of the 81 members of delegates from Pierce County were present and on a vote for support of either Parker or Chapman stood 31 to 2 In favor of Parker. The endorsement of Parker's candidacy waa then made unanimous. ' Spokane Caucuses Twice. Spokane County had previously had some difficulty in arriving at a de cision, and caucused twice. In the afternoon an attempt was made to In dorse only the three Eastern Wash ington candidates. State Senator Jesse Huxtable favoring that course, and Governor Hay, who I. In the Spokane delegation, strongly urging Indorse ment of all five present Judges. A steering committee was named In the afternoon to guage the sentiment and on reconvening in the evening the delega tion pledged Itself to the five. South west Washington which had two candi date, in Mason Irwin, of Aberdeen and A. E. Rice, of Shehalis, has given up the fight. Committee Does Not Dictate. At a meeting of the State Central Com mittee tonight, a resolution was proposed recommending the selection of Senator Piles for temporary chairman and Sena tor Jones for permanent chairman. Al though the custom of the central com mittee making these recommendations Is followed In many states and In the Na tional conventions. It would have been unprecedented in Washington. Indivi dually, the members of the committee ap proved of the selection of the two men, and apparently the sentiment of the con vention will be for them, but opposition to what was termed committee dictation was reported to the meeting and It was decided to make no recommendations. Polndexter Has Strong Lead. Almost every report brought to the city by the arriving delegate, con cerning the Senatorial contest Is th.it Miles Polndexter, insurgent. Is one of. If not the strongest.of the several can didates. Unless sentiment changes be fore the primaries or there is an elim ination of one or the other of the reg ulars. Polndexter. according to reports, will carry Eastern Washington by a strong plurality, and will get a heavy vote west of the mountains, with the exception of the Southwest and ex treme Northwest. Consensus of opinion is that the In surgent strength In the state, even with the prospective addition of 50 per cent of the Democratic vote. Is not greater than that of the regular wing of the party, but the latter Is so di vided by three strong candidates that the prospect Is admitted to favor Polndexter. One of the attempts of the conven tion which seems to be strongly anti Insurgent, will be to change the Insur gent sentiment throughout the state, but opinion 1. divided a. to the best way of doing It. Some delegates are advocating resolutions condemning specifically Poindexter's record In Congress. CRISIS IN STRIKE FRIDAY EMPLOYERS COXFIDEXT OF PEACE, UNIONS UNDECIDED. 'Open Shop"' Cards Are Displayed by Retail Merchants Unions Talk of Holding Mass Meeting. In the minds of the employing Interests of the city there Is not the slightest fear of a general strike. As near as the mindo of the unions can be ascertained, they do not know. By Friday. It Is said, the Joint committee, composed of men from all the unions, will have settled the ques tion. Meanwhile Portland is being generously placarded as an open-shop town. The secretaries of the various employing or ganizations, to whom has been delegated the task of putting up these cards, re port very few objections from the . re tailers have been encountered. Along with the distribution of the open-shop cards, the secretaries have an educational task if opposition Is met with. The dire ful results attending a strictly union town, as exemplified in the case of San Francisco, are pointed out. and the real meaning of open shop Is expounded. Union Secures Injunction. Hardly affecting the general situation, but having a bearing on their own cause, the teamsters' union yesterday secured an Injunction preventing the city from paying the wages of the special policemen hired to protect nonunion drivers who filled the strikers' places. John A. Jef fery secured the order from Judge Gan tenbein, and in his application set forth that unless stopped, the city will pay out about $10,000 In these wages. The strikers allege their main object In getting this Injunction Is to bring prom inently before the public the cost of peace, and incidentally to call attention to he alleged fact that this expense is un warranted because they say the protec tion of drivers Is not necessary. Mass Meeting Is Proposed. The unions are talking about holding a mass meeting of all the labor organisa tions In the city at which the general public will be Invited to express its ideas. The effect of such a meeting, they think, would be to demonstarte whether it would be possible to call a general strike. The committee of 12, composed of rep resentatives of various employing In terests of Portland, continues Its morning meetings in the Commercial Club, and professes to gain confidence dally in the safety of the city from a general strike. Many factors aid in this assurance, they say, "chief among which Is the fact that labor cannot afford a strike. Thousands of skilled workmen, they say, stand ready to come to Portland to take the places of strikers. BOYS DROWN AT SEASIDE J. Reed and William Madden' Be lieved Dead in Waves. ASTORIA.

Of course, as somebody I forgot who said: "It's difference of opinion that makes horseraces." ' As against the optimistic man, the man who can picture a future of prosperity and advanpement. one can always find a few who can accurately picture to themselves the entire country going to the "bow-wows." To this kind of person, property Is too high. He will "wait two years and buy it at half today's price." To this kind of man "rents are going to come down" and there are going to be bank panics, failures, etc. So he hides his money In an old trunk and a burglar steals it which makes it nice for the burglar. ' But the man who gets on top who handles big affairs makes the big money, Is the optimist every time. . ' And it's the man today who can appreciate the fact that Oregon and the whole Northwest is just enterlnc; on its career of future greatness, who doesn't waste his time regretting that he didn't buy five or ten years ago, and who realizes that past advance In values is but trifling compared to the advance to come that will be the wealthy man a few years hence.
