Following speeches, in which vet erans of many Republican party battles warned those present of the danger to the Government of the pres ent so-called Insurgency, declaring it "another cloak for Socialism, Populism and anarchy." the Kind County dele gation to the Republican state conven tion, at a meetinjr at Evergreen Hall today, organised, adopted the unit rnle and made plans ts take their seats at Aberdeen. John L. Wilson. ex-United States Senator, sounded a warning of the di rection In which, what he termed the Insurgent or "populist" movement waa tending, and cautioned the delegates to keep together while at Aberdeen. -Don't get scattered." he said. "We are In a fight for the supremacy of the Republican party, and there should be no adjusting with those who came Into the party to destroy It. That we will have two conventions at Aberdeen I have no doubt. How can we avoid It? What sacrifices can we make? No party can win that repudiates Itself.

Conley. for many years known as tbe wheat king of Eastern Ore gon." and a wealthy La Grande bank er, who disappeared under a cloud, fol lowing a girl escapade In November. 101. that resulted In an Indictment against him. and whose whereabouts has been a mystery since, returned to I.a Grande yesterday. District Attorney Cameron said last night that for several days he has been aware that Conley was about to return. He waa Informed to that effect several days ago by Leroy Lomaz. who is st torney for Conley. Mr. Cameron would riot say whether Conley would be prose cuted, but said tbere was a warrant In the hands of the Sheriff, and that -something would have to be done with It" The girl In the case was Gertrude Williams, aged 1C years at the time. hoM home wss at Springbrook. Or. tn the nlsht of November IS. 10S. Mrs. l.nU 5- Baldwin took the girl In cus tody Just as both were about to board a train at the Union Depot for Los An--rrles. Conley was permitted to go. but shortly after a warrant was Issued for him. Captain Moore at once teie craDhed to the Albany officers to search the train and to hold Conley. At Woodburn. however. Conley Baa flighted, and the Albany officers found his berth empty. That was the last b'ard of him until yesterday. According to the confession of the girl. Conley had been supporting her several weeks in La Grande, having met her in a restaurant, where she was employed as a waitress. When she lost her position, he proposed the clan destine trip. He had been living here a week with her. she said, after leav ing La Grande. The Indictment charges j mm wiin cuninuuunic i no uiiih quency of a minor. Mr. Cameron said last night he understands that the girl has since been married. Conley is widely known In the Grand Rondo Valley, and was reputed to be the wealthiest man In fnion County. He has a wife, and a family of grown children. The girl said that his inter est In her at La Grande had been of a fatherly nature, and when he Invited her on the trip to California, she con sented without suspicion. U'REN WOULD CURE EVILS Amendment of People's Power League Declared to Be "Remedy. Admitting that the Oregon system was not without defects. W. S. U'Ren. addressing an audience of Socialists at their hall. S2 Second street. Thursday night said the amendment, proposed by the People's Power League and sug gesting a general revision of the state constitution, would correct the evils complained of. As evils of the present system. Mr. IT Ken mentioned the method by which members of the Legislature and other state officials are elected, the blanket ballot and the absence of fixed respons ibility In the executive and administra tive departmenta of the state govern ment. He proposed to Improve the method of electing public servants, especially members of the Legislative Assembly, by Introducing the proxy plan of pro portional representation. The preferential system of voting waa recommended as a remedy for the blanket ballot and the substitution of a Cabinet plan of administering the affairs of the state was indorsed for overcoming the objections to the pres ent plan. All of these innovations are Included In the amendment proposed by the People's Power League slid to which Mr. L"Ren last night directed his remarks. "There was not a man In Oregon who In the recent primary election voted intelligently when he undertook to mark hia ballot," said Mr. U'Ren. discussing the blanket-line Danoi u Inst month. "There were too many candidates and It waa Impossible for him to know every man and his quali fications. This condition would be re lieved entirely by the short ballot, which is provided In the suggested amendment to the constitution." Mr. ITRen quoted Governor Vet to the effect that If the proposed amend ment vera adoDted It would bring about an annual saving to the state of $.'00,000. The speaker ssja uoira' West had Indorsed the measure even though, should It be adopted. It would cut off one year of the term for which the present Executive waa elected. Referring to the multiplicity of meas ures which appeared on the ballot In the last general election and the pros pect of a greater number In the elec tion In November, Mr. U'Ren declared this condition was due to the incom petency of the State Legislature. Un der the new order of things, as con temnla.td In the amendment under dis cussion. Mr. U'Ren made the prediction that the necessity for employing ino lnlttatlve and referendum would be greatly minimised. "Under the present system. ex plained Mr. U'Ren. "It la Impossible for the Socialists and the Prohibitionists to gain representation In the State Legislature. The "Republicans, with a UtUo better than one-half of the votes In the state, elect as many as 68 of the 60 members of the House of Rep resentatives. This Is not right. Neltb er Is It fair and truly representative government. "The amendment proposes the abol ishment of the Senate as a useless and unnecessary expense. It vests the leg islative function of state government In a Legislative Assembly, consisting of to members, chosen under the proxy svstem of proportlanal representation. Under this plan virtually the same rep resentative districts are retained. -Multnomah County Is allotted 17 Representatives. but the Individual elector la allowed to vote for only one. The 17 candidates receiving the great est number of votes will be elected and as members of the Assembly each will cast on every rollcall as many votes as he received In the election. A majority of the total vote cast In the state for Representatives will be re quired In the Assembly for the enact ment of any measure. "Under the proposed plan the Gov ernor la made cx-offlcio member of the Legislative Assembly and he will cast on every rollcall the total vote that waa cast In the election for those mem bers of his party who were not elected to the Assembly. The unsuccessful candidates for Governor on the Demo cratic. Prohibitionist and Socialist tickets also become ex-officlo members of the Assembly and represent their constituency In like capacity. In other words, each member of the Assembly has nower In that body In proportion as be la strong with the people, as It Is reflected by the vote ne receives. Membera of the Legislative Assem bly, explained Mr. U'Ren, are eiected for terms of four years, with annual sesslona of the lawmaking body. One provision of the amendment ia that every measure Introduced before the Assembly, unless adopted or rejected, shall remain on the calendar during tbe life of the Assembly before which It waa presented, or four years. The amendment vests In the Governor the sole power of Introducing appro priation bills, making the executive personally responsioie lor me rarai- um of appropriation, ine amount, in any bill may Da increasea or mo sembly with the Governor's consent only, but may be reduced at the pleas ure of tbe members. In tbe operation of this plan, Mr. U'Ren argued the practice of log-rolling In the matter of appropriation bills would be termin ated. "We also have provided for the Spo-kane-Orand Junction preference plan of voting. said Mr. U'Ren. "This gives to the voter a first and second and additional choices. He expresses a first choice for each office, also a second choice and as many additional choices from the remaining candidates aa he desires. If any candidate falls to receive a majority of tbe first choice votes, then the second choice votes are added to the first choice votes of each candidate. If no candidate has then received a majority of the total votes cast, the additional choice votes of each candidate are added to the total of his first and second choice votes and the candidate receiving the highest num ber of votes Is elected." Answering questions, Mr. U'Ren Indorsed the bill proposed by the State Federation of Labor providing a mini mum wage and a maximum hour work day for working men and women in this state. The speaker said be as sisted In drafting this measure. I Khlng on the Ark. Christian Commonwealth. A Scotch class waa examined In Scripture. "Can any boy or girl here tell me how Noah would be likely to use his time while on the ark?" asked the inspector. One boy timidly showed his hand and replied. "Please, sir, he wad fish." "Well. yes. he might," ad mitted Ahe Inspector. Another little fellow waved his hand excitedly and said. "Please, he couldn't fish vera larg." "What makes you think so, my little man?" "Because there were only two worms in the ark." HILL PLANS SHAPE AS TRAIN SPEEDS Retiring Chief to Devote Time . to Colonization, So He Announces. VAST WORK MAPPED OUT Portland Men Plan Farewell to Mr. Gray; Reception to Mr. Young. I.. W. Hill and Associates Start on Tour of Inspection. On the Groat Northern private car "A ::,' attached to the fast North Bank train running between Spokane and Portland, plans for the future conduct of the Hill railroads In the Northwest were worked out Thursday by Louis i W. Hill, the retiring president of the .'Great Northern; Car.-R. Gray, retiring president of the North Bank and fu ture president of the Great Northern, and Joseph H. Young, future president of the North Bank. H. A. Jackson, as sistant traffic manager of the Great Northern, accompanied them. The party arrived In Portland late last night. Mr. Toung leaving a few hours later for Seattle. Mr. Gray n immediately to his home and passed the last evening with his family as president of the North Bank Road. .Mr. Hill passed the evening In con ference with W. P. Davidson, president of the Oregon & Western Colonization Company, in which he also Is heavily Interested and In the development of which he is expected to devote a great portion of his time after retiring from the presidency of the Great Northern on his 40th birthday. May 19. Chance Effective Star IS. Although Mr. Young will not become president of the North Bank until next Wednesday. May 15, Mr. Gray vir tually has relinquished his official connection with that road. He will pass the greater portion of the day In conference with Mr. Hill in Portland, but the subject of their discussion will be relative to Great Northern business rather than that of the North Bank. Mr. Hill and Mr. Gray will leave to night for a week's Inspection trip of the Great Northern lines In Washing ton and probably will return to Port land next Friday. Their Itinerary on this trip has not been determined. "We have been busy all day going over routine affairs." said Mr. Gray upon arrival of the party In Portland last night, "We did not take up quet details that must be disposed of first. It was decided, though, that Mr. Young shall succeed me here next Wednesday. He will be here by that time to take up his work and will remain perma nently In Portland. I expect to be back In Portland late next week and hope to remain a few days. After thlt I suppose I'll be in St. Paul most of the time." F.lder Hill May Not Retire. Mr. Hill was In his usual pleasant mood when he arrived In town last night. At the conclusion of the trip he seemed to forget the cares of the railroad and Immediately sought Mr. Davidson at the Multnomah Hotel. Tho two then attended the. Multnomah Club smoker. Mr. Hill said that the con templated changes do not mean, neces sarily, the retirement of his father, James J. HIU, from active connection with the system of railroads that bear his name. Although the younger Mr. Hill has not expressed his Intentions for the future. It Is almost certain that much of his time will be devoted to the development of Central Oregon, In which he takes a deep, personal Inter est. His connection with the Oregon & Western Colonisation Company alone would give him ample opportunity to exercise his seeming Insatiable desire for work. The company controls 800, 000 acres of land between the Cas cades and the Idaho line and much of this can be developed Into valuable ag ricultural property. Whether he auc ceeds his father as chairman .pf the board of directors of the Great North ern or whether he relinquishes his title of office entirely. It Is predicted that he will give much of his time to de velopment work In the territory trib utary to the Hill lines. "I will be able to give Just as much attention to Oregon from my office In St. Paul as I could were I to locate right here In Portland," said Mr. Hill. "The work of developing the. North west will go on. The changes we are making will be of great benefit to all the territory that we serve." Mr. HIU has not determined whether he will return to Portland with Mr. Gray next week. He will be asked by members of the Commercial Club to come here and be a guest at a banquet that Is to be given complimentary to Mr. Gray and Mr. Young. A call has been Issued for a farewell banquet to Mr. Gray in honor of the valuable de velopment work that he has accom plished for the city and state In the year that he has been here. It will serve also to Introduce Mr. Young to the people of Portland. Mr. Young said lart night that he will resign as early as convenient the presidency of the Alaska Steamship Company, the Northwestern Commercial Company and the offices that he holds in the various other concerns of the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate. He will move his family from Seattle to Portland within tbe next few weeks. James T. Mlddlemaa. who has been Mr. Gray's secretary for tbe last six years and who served with him when he was senior vice-president of the Frisco system before coming to Port land, will remain here aa secretary to Mr. Young. He expects eventually to Join Mr. Gray at Su Paul, however. Vigorous Developsaeat Expected. A vigorous policy of development and exploitation will be pursued by the Great Northern, as well as the North Bank and the lines In Oregon, as soon as the new organization becomes ad justed. Tbla was the Impression given by utterance! of Mr. Hill, Mr. Gray and Mr. Young at various places yesterday and after their arrival In Portland last night. The East Side invasion which hsa been planned In detail by Mr. Gray will be given Into the hands of Mr. Young for further prosecution. As the Great Northern Is vitally Interested In this project Mr. Gray will remain in close touch with the situation and will give Mr. Young all the assistance possible In getting the necessary franchises through the Council and in carrying on the construction work. Petitions urg ing the Council to hasty action in granting the franchises sought by the Hill interests now are being circulated among the people of the East Side and are being filled with signatures rapidly. This task, probably, is the most stu pendous that confronts Mr. Young In hia new position, but he will have other details to demand bis attention for a time at least. The electric lines under his Jurisdiction now are being extended throughout the territory adjacent to Portland, the expenditures incidental thereto aggregating J6.000.000. Mr. Young waa highly pleased last night over the prospects of becoming Mr. Gray's successor and of becoming a resident of Portland. ' "I'm going to Seattle now to close up my affairs there," he said. "I think I'll like my new Job. although I have a hard task ahead of me to maintain the record set by my illustrious prede cessor." When Mr. Gray leaves Portland to night he still will be president of the North Bank. When he returns next week Mr. Young will be in his place. FINE CLOTHES HER FAULT roller Young Woman Dresses Too Extravagantly, Is Verdict. SPOKANE, Wash.. May 10. (Spe cial.) "Apparel show In their exhislts of attractive and high-priced goods. Is among the things encouraging extrav agance among young women, that we have to combat for their welfare," said Miss Frances Gage. Northwest Field secretary, at the Y. W. C. A. today. "We were compelled to persuade a young woman to relinquish a $35 hat. "Tiie opportunity to buy clothing on the weekly credit basis Is pernicious, because it induces the young woman to buv what ahe cannot afford." That there is a distinct Inclination on the part of the present-day young women school teachers to dress a little "flashy" was the comment of Superin tendent F. V. Yeager, as he sat at his desk lookins over the heads of 175 ap plicants for teachers certificates at the Masonic Temple, where the county teachers' examinations were begun this morning. "Yet, I believe that I would rather see them flashy in their dress than slovenly." the superintend ent commented. "But I admit they don't set very good example for wo manhood when placed at the head of a class of young girls Just budding into womanhood." OREGON HISTORY IS TOPIC Hlmes Tells Where Stale Got Nick name of Wcbfoot. George H. Hlmes, secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, was the only speaker at the regular luncheon of the Progressive Business Men's Club, held In the Multnomah Hotel Thurs day. Instead of an oral rollcall cards were left at each plate to be filled out. In his speech Mr. Hlmes stated that he had kept a diary since 185S without missing a day and therefore he waa well prepared to speak on Oregon and Portland. He advocated calling Oregon the Beaver state, saying that Callfornians had given this state the name of Web foot 40 years ago. In return Oregonlans called the Callfornians Tar Heads. Mr. Hlmes told of the early Introduction of fruit Into the state and of the first timber that was cut. He said that the man who discovered gold in California went from Oregon and that the first man who Introduced the English language Into Japan was an Oregonlan.

ATTORNEY GENERAL FACE RECALL Offhand Opinion on Obligations of Oregon Delegates Causes Political Stir. LAW STRAINED IS CLAIMED Official Interpretation on Majority Clause and Duty of Electors Will Be Asked Before Instru ment Is Invoked. If Attorney-General rawford ad heres .to a recent off-awid opinion In which he held that Inasmuch as Theo dore Roosevelt. In the recent Presi dential preference primary In this state, did not receive a clear majority of the Republican votes cast in the election, and the Taft members of the delegation elected at that time were not obligated to support the ex-President in the Chi cago convention, he may find himself confronted by a recall election. Shortly after the recent primary elec tion, the Attorney-General volunteered the opinion that Roosevelt could not expect tbe unanimous support of the 10 delegates elected from this state be cause he received only a plurality and not a majority of the votes cast in the election by the Republican voters. Tha ruling was not made officially, but It was given by the Attorney-General fol lowing the suggestion that at least three or four members of the delega tion elected were supporters of Presi dent Taft. DelrR-atrs Stand Together. This construction of the Presidential preference law. however, was not con curred. In by the ten delegates elected. They have all gone on record as being (Irmly against any such Interpretation of the statute. Each has announced that he will follow out the expressed wishes of the Republican voters of the state and support Roosevelt in the con vention as long as the ex-President has a chance to win the party nomina tion. At the time it was given, the sup porters of Roosevelt in this state took exception to the ruling of the Attorney-General. According to active partisans of the ex-President, the same feeling exists throughout the state. It culminated a day or two ago when a group of Roosevelt supporters met informally in this city and considered (J MAY SUBURBAN REAGE HO Your soil is the Oest; your scenery the grandest; adjoining the city limits o?

Precipitate action was discouraged as a result of this conference, although it was decided to address a letter to the Attorney-General and request from him a legal construction of the law and the extent to which the delegates elected are obligated. Such a letter is being prepared by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe and other of Roosevelt's friends In this city. "I am preparing a request of the Attorney-General for an opinion concern ing the law as to delegates to the Na tional convention," said Dr. Coe last night, "and will forward it to Salem in a day or two. If the Attorney-General adheres to his original opinion and holds that Taft members of the dele gation are absolved from any obligation to support Roosevelt In the conventlon. there is more than a probability that steps will be taken towards invoking the recall on that official.
