TITE MOKXING OKEGOXTAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1910. 20 CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER ARE OUT Dan J. , Malarkey and Ben Selling Mentioned for Presi; dent of Senate. ABBOTT IS POPULAR MAN Anti-.wmbly Candidate Said to Hitt Barking of Kntire Mult nomah County Delegation In House of Legislature. With the general election gome weeks fcence and the Leiclslature-to-be not wholly determined upon lineups for the Fprakershlp of the Lower House and presidency of the Senate are neverthe less developing. For the most part, the nominees tn various counties regard helr fight for election to have occur red previous to the primaries and there does not seem an decided pro pec t of a change In the present legislative com plexion when the ballots are counted November S. Multnomah County has developed can llltes for the two principal places. a J. Malarkey Is being talked of la many quarters for the chair of the Sen ate. The name of Ben Selling has also been mentioned, as has that of N. J. Plnnott. of Wasco, the two last named now being members of (he Seuate. Mr. 2Ualarkev has yet to be elected, but that la regarded by his friends as a mere formality. Abbott Multnomah's Choice. James Abbott Is the choice of many of the Multnomah County ticket for Speaker of the House. It Is said he will have the whole delegation behind him. There are at least three other aspirants, however. LaLr Thompson, of J Ice. Joint Representative. Is be ins talked of. as are J. A. Buchanan, of Douglas, and Henry AIcKlnney, of llaker. Mr. Abbott, alone of the candidates for Speakership, was named on an antl aasembly platform. Messrs. Malarkey and Felling are likewise avowed state ment One men. Hut It Is given as the general Impression that Statement One will not be an Issue so far as the se lection of heads of the two houses are concerned. The stand Is taken by members of the local party that assem bly and anti-assembly lines will not be drawn at all. but that, for public stood, the Republican legislators will pull together and forget all about fac tional differences that may have existed in the primary campaign. McArthur Kent Promise. It Is recalled that C. X. McArthur, while not a Statement One man. was selected for speaker of the lower House In the last Legislature, his choice belns; effected with the aid of the Statement One legislators, who were unable to settle upon any one of the four or five candidates of their own persuasion. Mr. McArthur Rave assurance that he would recognize no element over the other as Speaker and he kept the promise. That Independent candidates are to lie brought out at the Instance of Jon athan Bourne In all counties where candidates were named on assembly platforms Is currently reported. How ever, such a procedure. If carried out. would not affect the prospects of par ty men. It Is contended, for harmony is known to be rapidly settling over the Republican parly throughout the state anil continued efforts of the Hourne-l'hamherlain coterie to keep the rumpus stirred up are arousing only bitter resentment.

Hofer. of Salem, one of the three candidates defeated by Jay Bowerman for the Republican nomination for Gov ernor, made a plea for party harmony and announced himself as an active sup porter of Mr. Bowerman yesterday, while in the city. Mr. Hofer said: "I am for a united Republican rnrty. With great leaders like Taft and Roosevelt bending all thetr energies to unite the party on National Issues, alor.g progressive lines, it ill behooves any man calling himself a Republican at tMs t:me In the history of tregon to refuse to contribute toward RepuMican success. The Republicans of Oregnn rave reafT.rmed their beilef in progressive policies In a very positive manner, and the declaration of Acting llovernor lowerman. acquiescing cheer fully In the result. Is very satisfactory to the progressives. He has set the key note of victory all alor.g the line and i.aa taken the wind out of the sails of his opponents, who pretended that he would prove himself a reactionary. "I made my campaign against the as sembly for progressive Ideas, for Repub licanism for the people, for a square deal for organised and unorganlted labor which 1 conceived to be the fundamental principle of Republicanism: protection to the workers of our country and I know from personal experience with Mr. Bow erman as a member of the State Senate, that he stands for those policies. I know tuat In the last Legislature when the Chamber of Commerce wanted the rail road amendment put through the Senate, and it came to a 'show-down' between the corporations and the Interests of the peo ple. Mr. Bowermaa took his stand with the people for development of the great Inland Empire. That is why men like Bill Hauler, of Harney County, and BUI Grimes, of Coos Bay. and ail the other Bills, big and little, believe Jay Bower man will make a people s Governor. "Ever since the direct primary law was enacted. I have supported every nomi nee on the Republican ticket, whether he was a Statement No. 1 man or not. and as I announced everywhere on my campaign. I shall do the same this year." OFFICIAL COrXT IS SENT IX Vote for Democratic Candidate In Multnomah County Shown.

Little Marie Tfelfer. the 11-ycar-oll girl who was burned at the hop yards at St Paul. Or.. September i. under went a second operation yesterday morning at St. Vlnrenfs hospital, when about 12 Inches of skin was grafted on one of her legs. Last Thursday 1 like operation was performed, w-hen th3 same amount of skin was grafted on the other leg. For the first operation, the akin was taken from the girl's brother. Joht. aged 14. while her iS-year-old brother. Kmmett. sacrificed the necessary skta for yesterday's operation?? Both operations were 'performed by Dr. Tucker, who reports them as prov ing an entire s-jiress so far. The brothers, from whom the skin was taken, are also reported as getting; along nicely. Marie, who Is the daughter of Adolpt rfeifer. of 1 Holladay, was camping out at the hop fields with her mother during the early part of September. The little girl was standing near the stove when wind came down the pipe and the flame Issued from the. stove and enveloped her. A 14-year-old boy heard her screams and rushed to her assistance. He tore the burning clothes from her body and dashed water on her. It was too late to save the girl from being severely injured. From ths hips the burns extended down both legs and were so deep that they would not heal. It was soon known that It would be necessary to graft skin on the legs of the Injured before the wounds would heal, but It was necessary to allow some portions to heal before the opera tion could be performed. Much suffering has been endured by the patient girl. But for the expres sion "It does hurt awful sometimes," very little complaint has she made. The attending physician says that little Marie will Improve from now on and will soon be able to be up. BUNCO MEN GET. GASH VOIT II VICTIM OF OLD FR A I'D BV SMOOTH STRANGERS.

The attorney quickly told him that he had been bilked, and referred him to Captain of Detectives Moore. who as signed Ietectlves Hellyer and Maloney to tho case. Garcelon went to spend Sunday after noon at the City Park, and fell in with a stranger, who escorted him about the park. Soon they met a third man. with shorn they engaged In conversation. The first stranger inveigled the newcomer Into a game of chance.- and In a short time had relieved him of over I3-6V of which. Garcelon was given to understand, he was to have a share. Garcelon had $i. which he placed In the game. Then a plainclothes "policeman" appeared on the scene and announced that the crowd was under arrest. Garcelon fled, with the putative police' man after him. He returned home, sent In his reslsnatlon and prepared to leave the cltv when he discovered the hoax. Garcelon waa able to give a good de scription of the first two men. RAIN DELAYS PIPE LINE Bad Roads Prevent Freighting to Higher Points of Work. Rainy weather of the last few days has nut a temporary halt on ths freighting of pipe for the big Bull Run second pipe line, but Engineer Clarke. In charge of the water main construc tion, said yesterday that ne is conii' dent there will be enough good wn ther this fall to permit of the trans portatlon of all the largest pipe to the distant portions of the line. For the first 10 miles the pipe Is to be 52 Inches in diameter, and half of this large ripe Is now on the ground. From the end of this large plre to Mount Tabor the pipe Is to be 44 Inches in.dlameter. and about one-third of this has been delivered to the place where it will be laid. A- strenuous er fort Is to be made to get the pipe most remote from the city laid before Win ter sets in. as the bad weather will not affect the work In the lower country as much as It will in the higher alti tudes.

He was a man remarkable for detail, had little to say unless asked, but was a good listener. It Is a mat ter of history In the store that he al ways listened to any suggestion, from the cashboy to the head of a department- It was a habit for him to go through every department of the store each day with auch regularity that em ployes could almost tell the time of day by the sound of his footsteps. During these trips around the store he con sulted with the department managers and gave his ear to the least Important clerk. He knew every department as well as Its head, he knew the stock and the minute details pertaining to It. A peculiar fact In hla career was that he never went to New York or else where to buy. He left all purchases to his buyers, but he was the guiding hand and adviser. When buyers started out they went with definite and detailed Instructions and reported every day by card to their employer, no matter how far away or what the circumstances. Rv kecDlng in close touch with all de partments he knew the demand? of the public he kept hla finger on the pulse of business and always knew exactly what he was doing. He never specu lated and vet he did not hesitate to venture after thinking a proposition over. Few Trips From Home Made.

Following the announcement of the woman every effort was made to reach the room, but owing to the density of smoke the would-be resruers were driven back three times. When Line man McDonald, of Truck No. 1. wa able to force his way Into the room he found both prostrated on the bed. i The fire started In a store room util ised by the K. H.

Moorehouse luckily escaped from the room without injury, carrying with him a five-gallon can of gasoline which was in immediate dan ger of exploding. He rushed to a tele phone and sent an alarm to fire head quarters. Hames Sjircad Quickly. By the time the department arrived on the scene a fe moments later the entire rear of the building was en veloped In flames. The presence of sev eral barrels of linseed oil. excelsior and other Inflammables In the heart of the flames soon outwitted the fire men of the two hose companies that answered the Initial alarm. Whewi It was apparent that the flames would spread and endanger lives and prop erty a second alarm was sent In. Every piece of fire apparatus in the down town district was on the scene a few moments later. Despite the fierce conflict waged by nearly 100 firefighters against the burning oils and tinder In the rear of the build'ng the smoke grew denser each moment. In an hour the volumes of black, choking smoke was creep ing through every crevice of the build ing Into the elab'rately appointed buf fet of the Mount Hood Commercial Company at 409 Washington street and through the halls into every room and nook, of the Butler Hotel on the two S IB RANK IS floors above. Guests reearded the In rush of smoke into their apartments In the hotel as a signal to beg n moving their belongings to the street. Dozens of them hastily tossed what property that was within reach Into trunks and with the assistance of the police dragged them to the street to safety. Personal belongings they left behind were ruined by smoke and water. The heaviest losses were felt by B. H. Moorehouse & Co. and" the Mount Hood Commercial Company. While the major percentage of the loss sustained by the picture establishment was by fire and water, the commercial company sulTered a heavyv loss from smoke and water. A panoramic oil painting about the walls of Its buffet was completely destroyed. The building to which the fire was con fined was a three-story wooden structure and was situated between two brick buildings, which probably accounted for the flames not spreading. The building Is owned by the Rosenblatt estate and according to an estimate made by S. Rosenblatt last night was damaged to the extent of JoOOO, fully covered by in surance.

HENRY RESIGNS OFFICE HE WITHDRAWS FROM HEAD OF LA C KK LI I C K.ST COMPANY. Edward Cooklngham Will Probably Succeed Him Xo Change In Pol- Icy of Concern to Be Made. Charles K. Henry has resigned as pres ident of the Laurelhurst Company. Once before Mr. Henry resigned and the board refused to accept his resignation. It has not been accepted now, but lies on the table, where It was placed at the last meeting of the board. The next meeting will be held. It Is said. October 'IS. At that time Mr. Henry will be allowed to withdraw from the head of the cosnpany and Edward Cooklngham. cashier of the Ladd & Tllion Bank, will be elected pres ident. Mr. Henry Is reticent about his resig nation. He would say nothing for pub lication of the causes leading up to his action other than that he was tired of being a figurehead In .the office. "I shall keep my stock In the Laurel hurst Company." snld Mr. Henry, "and outside of the Ladd Investment Company I own more than any other holder. But I shall have nothing to do with the man. agement of the company's affairs and nothing whatever with the selling of lots." Mr. Henry has made public his action through a legal notice which announces that he Is ne longer the head of the com nanv. At the offices of the Laurelhurst Com pany in the Corbett building Mr. Henry's action was confirmed. "The resignation will likely be accepted at the next meeting of the board," said Paul C. Murphy, one of the vice-presidents, "and Mr. Cooklngham will In all iirobaTjilitv be elected to succeed Mr. Henry- There will be no change In the policy of the company and tomorrow we shall start an advertising compaign with the object of increasing the sales. About J2.000.000 worth of 1-aurelliuratt property has already been sold and there is notn lng to Indicate a slump." It Is said there Is nothing behind Mr. Henry's action that will have any effect on the progress of the addition, which Is one of the biggest undertakings of its kind ever started on the Pacific Coast. Anv differences of opinion there may have been, it is said, between Mr. Henry and the rest of the officers of the com pany were purely personal disagreements over methods or sates.

LARGER LEVY IS LIKELY Department Heads In City Will Make Heavier Requisitions in Estimates of Expenses for Xcw Year, Is Asserted. With Portland's untrecedented growth In all lines of - activities, and especially in population during the past 12 months, it has been shown to a certainty that a much greater fund for public improvements for the com- ng year will be needed. Heads oi tne various city departments are now pre paring estimates of expenses for 1911, In order to have the budget completed and ready to be submitted, to the City Council by the end of the present month. . Last vear a levy of 4.9 mills was made, and although funds thus provided to carry on the city government, snail be found sufficient for the present year, it is the beilef of city officials that the levy must be Increased mater ially In order to take care of additional expenditures occasioned by the city's expansion. Department Xeeds Greater. Almost every department will ask for larger requisitions, and while May or Simon realizes that greater demands will be made to meet the general ex pense of the city, he Is of the opinion that It will be wise to practice econ omy In order .to make the burden of indebtedness as light as possible. v ltn this end In view, the heads of the de partmens have been figuring closely, but it is found that the estimates must provide for larger appropriations, al most without exception, in order to meet the demands of Increased busi ness. One of the largest Items that will be included In the budget will be the appropriation for the Fire Department. It will be somewhere between ibuu.uuu and 1700.000. Chief Campbell has rec ognized the necessity of a thoroughly modern department for Portland. With the fast growth the city Is making. the present facilities for fighting fire are altogether inadequate and, accord ing to Chief Campbell, the city officials will make no mistake In providing suf ficient funds to meet the situation. Additional fire-fighting apparatus of the most modern type is needed. In ad dition, at least four new fire stations should be built, one In the vicinity of the hospitals, one In Irvington, one in Montavllla and one in North Portland, In the wholesale and manufacturing district Expenditure Will Be Great. ,' The acaulrlng of sites, the construc tion of new stations and the additional fire-fighting apparatus, together with the increase in the number or lire- men, will necessitate the expenditure., it is estimated, of about $300,000. The present force of firemen costs the city about 123,000 a month in salaries, or $300,000 a year. In addition to the desired Improve ment in the fire department, a new steel fire boat Is to be acquired. This will cost around $150,000. For this Item and for re-lnforclng fire mains. bonds have already been voted aggre gating $275,000. This will not be in cluded In the regular budget, excep a sufficient amount to provide for tho interest accruing on the bonds. The street-clean'ng and sprinkling department will require at least tl00,- 000 more than was set aside for this de partment last year, according to Sup erintendent Donaldson. More Street-Cleaners Wanted. The Increase in the appropriation asked for will be used up in the pur chase of new equipment, and providing pay for an extra force of men. Since a year ago. more paving has been' done In Portland than ever before In a cor responding peUod, and consequently It Is necessary To nave more men ana equipment to look after the additional area of hard-surface pavement. The Police Department has had oc casion to particularly notice the rapid growth the city has made during the past year. Chief Cox will ask for an additional appropriation of $40,000 to employ more patrolmen and detectives. At present there are 155 patrolmen. not Including officers doing duty at the station. There should be at least 35 more policemen and five detectives added to the present force. In order to cover the city properly and efficiently. according to Chief Cox. Chief Cox be lieves that at least ten additional men should be directed to traffic work every day, not only to insure public safety, but to keep the streets clear. He will also recommend a pension sys tem for officers who have been steadily In the police service for 25 years. He believes that an officer who has devot ed that length of time to police duty should be retired on half pay. The only officer on the force who would be affected by this feature Is Ben Branch, who has been working almost con stantly for 30 years. Park Improvemnets Proposed. If H T. Mische, Superintendent of City Parks, Is given consideration In his re quest for an added appropriation, all of the public parks of Portland will be made more attractive next year. Superin tendent Miache will ask for an appro priation of KSS.000, of which $122,000 la to be used for mafntanance and ,$166,000 for construction purposes. The force now employed to take care of the parks ie considered inadequate and Mr. Mische has asked for an Increase over the amount appropriated last year for maintenance. Special attention will be given children's playgrounds. It will be necessary to employ more playground Instructors, as well as to add to the pres ent working park force. The sum of $3000 has been suggested to be set aside to provide for the concerts to be given at the various parks during the Summer months.
