14 TTTE . 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, 3IO"DAT, JANTTART 12. 1914. WEST FOR SENATE GUESS OF PROPHETS Copperfield Campaign Is Re garded as Masterpiece of v Press Agent's Art. VARIOUS SIGNS ARE CITED Adroit Kefusal to See Chamberlain Privately on Senator's Last Trip Considered Xoteworthy and Miss Hobbs Is Quoted. A wll-defined suspicion is gaining ground through the state that Gov ernor West, far from being through with politics and ready to "retire to his farm" at the end of his present term as Governor, in reality is laying careful plans to become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator against George E. Chamberlain. Many little things and a number of big ones point to this conclusion. One of the bis things is the late martial lw unpleasantness at Copperfield. Just why the Governor should have rushed armed troops into the little Eastern Oregon community and sub jected it to military occupation, ignor ing the ordinary processes of law, has been the cause of much speculation. Viewed in the light of being part of a general campaign of publicity of him telf, it is not so difficult to under stand. In fact, all the political signboards, at least, indicate that the Governor's real motive in the Copperfield invasion was to create another in the series of sensational episodes that have enliv ened his term as Governor, with the idea of keeping himself in the spot light. Achievement Regarded Slight. The ulmlessness of the Copperflela campaign in general is regarded as another press-agent symptom. The spotlight glinted freely from brass buttons and fixed bayonets; but bo far as results other than those of pub licity are concerned in which the campaign was an eminent success not many notable achievements for moral uplift have been recorded. It see,ms to be assured that the Gov ernor has no intention of'belng a can didate for Governor at the coming election. More impressive than his re peatfd denials of his candidacy is the fact that friends in his confidence are preparing to run. One whose an nouncement is expected is Dr. C. J. fcmith. now of Portland, but until re-! cently of Pendleton. He is believed to be the Governor's personal choice. Mr. West is not concealing his opposi tion to another Democratic candidate for Governor, John Manning, with whom he is not on good terms. But the fact of Mr. West's with drawal from the contest for Governor only adds weight to the belief that he is after the Senatorship. West is still a young man. He has not yet passed his 42d birthday. Since he en tered politics 11 years ago, he has shown that he is politically ambitious. He has left one office, only to seek a higher one, his career upward from State Land Agent to Governor having been without break or setback. Senate Loiclcal Ambition. In view of these known and demon strated political ambitions, hi3 past success, his youth, his withdrawal from the Governorship race, yet with its accompanying inclination for the KnntHrrVit th Inillonl a rnnnarfl.M is especially significant Just now. After having been Governor, West would hardly run for any lesser office, and the United States Senatorship is left as the higher one to which he would logically aspire. Up to a comparatively short time ego. his close friendship with Senator Chamberlain had been considered a bar to West's candidacy if Chamber lain, as he has done, should declare himself in the race again, but it is well known now that the Governor's relations with Senator Chamberlain are not what they were. At one time they were the closest of friends. It was Chamberlain who made West politically. He took West under his wing in 1903, shortly after the beginning of Chamberlain's first term as Governor, when West was a clerk in an Astoria bank, and made him State Land Agent. West served in this capacity until 1907, in Chamber lair's second term. Ke was then appointed Railroad Commissioner by Chamberlain. After the latter had gone to the Senate, he did much by his own support and that of his frends to bring about West's election to the Governorship in 1910. Avoidance of Chamberlain Told. Within the last year, however, there has been a coolness between them. On the occasion of Chamberlain's last visit to Oregon, he went to Salem to meet West. It was understood then that he desired to discuss the status of the Senatorial fight in 1914. and to learn what West's attitude would be. The story of how West avoided a private metlng with the Senator, presumably t6 avoid committing himself, has not been published heretofore. Chamberlain had no sooner seated himself in the Governor's private of fice than West sent for another state official on some pretext, and this of ficial was in the room with them throughout their interview. This of ficial was a Republican. Quite nat urally, there was no heart to heart talk ubout the next Democratic cam paign. Later an automobile ride was sue pested. West invited someone else to BO along. Casually he got In the front peat with the chauffeur, leaving noth Jng for Chamberlain to do but to sit in the back seat with the other man. There was no opportunity for confl uentlal chat on the automobile ride. As long as Chamberlain was In Salem he was not able to see West privately. Finally, the story goes, the United btates Senator became disgust ed and packed back to Portland in a huff. There has been no patching up or the relations thus disrupted. All these things show how the wind is blowing, and all breezes, from the West point of view, appear to be blowing toward Washington and a seat in the United States Senate. There is still further evidence. When Miss Fern Hobbs, the Governor's pri vate secretary, was in Baker, Or., shortly after her- trip to Copperfield ns the Governor's personal emissary she told friends there that Governor West was preparing to announce his candidacy for United States Senator to oppose Mr. Chamberlain. This in formation comes from an authoritative source. STUDENT RECITAL PLEASES Nine Hnndred Persons Hear Violin Players In Masonic Temple. Nine hundred persons attended the students' violin recital, given under the direction of E. O. Spitzner yesterday In the Masonic Temple auditorium, and the event was quite a musical success. Many people attending were personally interested in the young musicians, and were quick to show their appreciation. On the last page of the programme were several bon mots that caused amusement, two of th'-- Koine': Persons coming In lata to a concert suc ceed admirably In showing themselves off and In Infringing npon other people's rights to aee or hear the begianlns of a perform ance. If prima donnas, variety stars and good hearted society matrons, who are so anxious to sell Red Cross stamps, would fasten a few mops on the death-dealing trains of their Parisian gowns, little need would there be of selling more stamps. All the young musicians acquitted themselves with credit, to themselves and teacher. The soloists were Adolpb Weinstein, Inez Chambers, Sylvia Weinstein, Loris Gratke, Modesta Mor tensen, Florence McElroy, Isabelle Steele and Elsie Lewis. Violin choruses were played with skill by both senior and junior students, and of special ex cellence was the playing of four pro fessional musicians assisting in en semble Ferdinand Konrad, 'cello; R. A. Ross, clarinet; Emil Thielhorn. viola, and C. Stoll, bass. The piano accom panists were Jessie Lewis, Katherine Lewis, Emily McElroy, Kathleen Benolt and Mr. Spitzner.

Brown, of 3619 South L street, Tacoma, yesterday, by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Earle, Mrs. Earle being the eloping daughter of Mrs. Brown: "Dear Mother: Hazel could not return last night because we were married yesterday in Seattle and are now on our way to San Francisco. . We are sending clippings which will give details. Do not worry, because .we are very happy. Ralph and Hazel." And that is the first word Mrs. Brown received from her daugh ter who left her home in Tacoma to go over to Stattle to visit a girl friend for the afternoon, in explanation of her failure to return home Saturday evening. and were cordially received.

Mr. I'tnley'a Deputy Goes to Dressins Room and Inspects Plumes, bat Sees None From Heron. Gaby Deslys has no aigrettes, at least none that she displayed yester day in Portland. Game Warden Finley, who had re ceived word that the famous French dancer had been wearing a handsome bunch of the forbidden heron plumes, satisfied himself of this fact last night when he sent Mrs. J. A. MClrray, deputy game warden, whose special duty it is to confiscate aigrettes, to Mile. Deslys" dressing-room at the Heillg Theater, following last night's performance. "Let me see your hat," said Mrs. Murray as she entered the room, and in answer to the surprised and ques tioning looks of Mile. Deslys and her manager, Stanley Sharpe, she added: "I want to see if you are wearing aigrettes." "No:" said Gaby, for the word ai grette is included in her scant knowl edge of English. 1 Mrs. Murray examined the plumes on the hat, which Mile. Deslys was about to put on, and they were not herom plumes. "We have had too much trouble about those things," said Manager Stanley, "and so Mile. Deslys does not wear them any more." Then Gtby said something in French to Mrs. Murray, ending with a laugh and the English words, "You all right." Mile. Deslys departed on her private car at 12:45 A. M. for San Francisco. Under the Oregon and California laws the wearing of aigrettes is for bidden and there is a Federal law which prohibits their importation. rrTTOP inrun n "tin ncn L I IUI1 VVUULU UIL-I UV1.I1 We'll Take One of Their Good Men,' Is His Appeal to Strikers. . TACOMA, Jan. 11. Plans for the prosecution of the strike at the Tacoma Smelter, which has been waged for th past week and has resulted in the death of one striker, were discussed at a meeting held tonight under, the aus pices of the Central Labor Council, the Industrial Workers of the World and the Socialists. Joseph J. Ettor. who was one. of the leading figures in the textile strike at Lawrence. Mass., was one of the speakers and appealed to the strikers to "meet the capitalists at their game." "We'll take one of their good men for one of ours; one of their women when they take one of ours," he de clared. Plans for a demonstration on Wednesday at the funeral of Andrew Aronke, who was killed in the battle of last . Wednesday night, were made and every working man in Tacoma was urged to march in the procession, "to show contempt for the sheriff, for the prosecuting attorney and the cor poration which employs thugs to a sist them." There was no disorder at the smelter today. Attempted Safe Cracking Feared. Finding two windows open last night in the office of the Star Brewing Company.

SLIDE HITS HOTEL Patrons Rush to Street Clad in Night Clothes. CHIMNEY FALLS TO PIECES Portion of Second Street at Mar quam Unloli Undermined, and Barricades Put Up Hotel's Foundation Is Shifted. The Gem Hotel, a' two-story frame building at 665 First street, was shaken and its Inmates frightened obout 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning when a bank of dirt, washed loose from the side of Marquam Gulch, slid down- into the ravine, undermining Second street at the gulch for about lo fet of the width of the street and throwing out of line 10 wooden beams used to prop the hotel. In the midst of the confusion from the slide the Inmates of the hotel rushed out in their night clothes and gathered on the bridge. The chimney had been knocked out of plumb by the first shock, and when a small quantity of dirt slid a minute later it toppled over and fell, the bricks failing to strike anyone The hotel itself was considered safe and the lodgers re turned. . Piling of the First street bridge. against which the hotel is built, was disturbed by the shock, but was consid ered safe for traffic. Police Sergeant Robson and Patrolman Gouldstone re ported that Second street at the edge of the gulch was unsafe for half its width and they placed barriers and lanterns upon it. Several such slides have occurred in the past two years when the soil of the gulch sides was washed down by heavy rains. Another wooden rooming-house was shaken last Winter, but no one was hurt. MR. FRANK MAY BE HEARD Testimony in Suit by Mrs. Gerllnger to Be Resumed Today. Testimony in the- $50,000 breach of promise suit of Mrs. Gertrude Ger linger against Lloyd Frank will be re sumed at 9:30 o'clock this morning in Judge Davis' court. The defense still has a number of important witnesses to call. Among those who will probably be put on the stand by Attorney George Joseph is Jack Keating. Mr. Keat ing s name has figured prominently in the trial, especially in the dictaphone testimony. There is also a possibility that Mr. Frank will take the stand in his own behalf. The defense will probably rest its case before the day is over. Arthur I. Moulton, attorney for Mrs. Gerllnger, will then call several witnesses in re buttal. PERSON ALMENTI0N. E. W.

Delay In Sending Boat Due to Neces sity of Getting; Competent Crew Before Startyig Work. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. li. (Special.) The new Coos Bay dredge. Col. P. S. Michie. which has been in the Columbia River for some weeks, will be sent south to Coos Bay about January 15, to begin work on the Coos Bay channel. The people of Coos Bay' became alarmed when they heard the new dredge had been put to work in the Columbia River, and fearing they were to be deprived of the services of the dredge built especially for their own harbor, sent protests to Representative Hawley. Upon inquiry at the office ot the Army Engineers, Mr. Hawley learned that the dredge Michie was sent into the Columbia River to get a crew, and have them trained, before putting the dredge into active operation at Coos Bay. In and around Portland, the engi neers held, there was ait abundance of labor to be had, whereas there is a scarcity of the right kind of skilled labor at Coos Bay, therefore the dredge went up the Columbia, to ship and train a crew. The crew has been as sembled, and has been "placed in train ing while the' Michie lay in the Co lumbia River, and about the middle of the month, weather permitting, the engineers intend to - send the dredge south. Because of her peculiar construction the Michie is not an especially good sea craft, and it was deemed unsafe to send her all the way to Coos Bay with an untrained crew. COOS BAY BUOY IS ADRIFT Captain Macgenn Reports 45-Mile Southeast Gale Off Columbia. Captain Macgenn, of the Steamer Breakwater, which arrived at 10:30 yesterday morning from Coos Bay, re ported that the whistling buoy was adrift in Coos Bay and drifting toward the rocky coast of Sunset Bay. The captain said that buoy No. 2 on the Co lumbia had been found but had not yet been replaced. He said the wind was blowing 45 miles an . hour from the southeast when be crossed into the Columbia. Captain Macgenn ' said le wished to correct the statement that 14 vessels were lying at Astoria barbound last week. He said they were storm bound, not barbound, and that as there is a depth of 34 to 36 feet on the bar at high tide, no matter how rough the weather is the channel can always be seen in a line with Cape Disappoint ment, the gas buoy and the lightship. The vessels were simply staying in port for shelter, he said, and could have passed the bar at any time when the ti-de was high if they had cared to face the gale. The Breakwater brought 70 passen gers and a fair cargo from Coos Bay, but going down the last trip the pas sengers were sleeping on lounges, all the berths being filled. Captain Mac genn says that there is an influx of people locating in Coos Bay, and that it is a difficult matter to find a house there just now. Marconi Wireless Reports.

VISITOR IS OFF OF RANGE Captor Offers Large Billed Fowl to Portland as Park Exhibit Food Refused, but Game Warden Suggests Coaxing. An American white pelican was cap. tured at Biggs, Sherman County, Or., Thursday in A. B. Wolfard's chicken yard, where it alighted and tried to feed with the hens. The story of the capture of the big bird was brought to Portland by C. L. Ireland of Moro, publisher of the Sher man County Observer, who says that Mr. Wolfara has offered it to the Port land Park Board for a park exhibit. The bird has an eight-foot spread of wing, and its pouched bill is 14 Inches long, or slightly longer than its body. The body and wings are white, .with brownish black markings. Mr. Wolfard and his- neighbors did not recognize "their guest as a pelican, but it was identified by Virgil Caligari, postmaster at Biggs, who is a former resident of Southern California, along the coast of which pelicans are com mon. William L. Finley, State Game War den, and a naturalist of National repu tation, said last night that the bird, from the description given by Mr. Ire land, is not what is known as the Cali fornia brown pelican but is an Ameri can white pelican, of a larger variety than that of California. There are only these two varieties in the United States. Although pelicans are seldom seen in Sherman County and other parts of Oregon, they' are plentiful in the Mal heur Lake, Klamath Lake and Warner Lake regions of Southern Oregon, where they nest and live in great colonies. The American white pelican's range is as far north as Alberta and Sas katchewan, and they also nest in Yel lowstone Lake. The Biggs pelican refused food, in cluding fish, or seemed unable to eat it, but Mr. Finley says that if the fish is cut up and put In its pouch the bird probably will take an immediate inter est in gastronomic affairs. A woman at Klamath Falls fed pell cans with minnows, and the birds be came so tame that they followed her when she went into the business dis trict to do her shopping. Outspoken Captain Macgenn sea Young; Woman X-kcs Trip by Rail After Gettlnc Advice of Break uatrr's Mauler nv Fox-Ralsing; Industry Han Some Problems. THE frankness of seafaring men is proverbial, and of all the men who have gone down to the sea in ships Chief Clerk Farmer, of the Perkins, believes there have been none more bluntly out spoken than his friend. Captain Ma genn, who commands the steamer Breakwater, plying between Portland and Coos Bay points. "About a year ago a young woman came to the hotel who wanted to go to Marshfield," said Mr. Farmer, "and asked which was the best way to go. I told, her that the sea trip would be much more comfortable than the trip overland from Roseburg, owing to the desperate condition of the roads in Winter. i' 'But won't I get seasick?" she asked. Just then Captain Magenn came into the lobby and Mr. Farmer introduced the young woman, so that she might get expert information at first hand. She stated her case, saying that she had never taken a sea trip, and ending with the question: "Will I be seasick?" "You're damned right you will," said Captain Magenn. "Oh!" said the young woman, and went to Marshfield by way of Rose burg. An indjstry which has long been the dream of trappers and furriers is in successful operation in Prince Edward Island It is the raising of such rare fur-bearing animals as - silver and black foxes in captivity. There are several black fox farms in Prince Edward Island. H. L. Bowness, who is registered at the Carlton from Montreal, went into business a little over a year ago with a single . pair of black foxes as his capital stock. The returns for the year were about $3000. , A single black fox pelt is sometimes worth as much as $1000 and the hunter or trapper who gets one or two pelts in a Winter considers himself lucky. The only drawback against raising black foxes for the pelts is that they do not grow well in captivity, and even die if kept too closely confined. It is necessary, therefore, to have a large enclosure, the larger the better, so that the animals will have condi tions approximating those they enjoy in the wild state. As the" foxes are extraordinarily cunning, and are cap able of digging tinder fences, the get ting of a pair with which to start a farm is only the beginning of the "farmer's" troubles. ' ' . Clarence Shafer, chief clerk of the Imperial, the other day found the fol lowing paragraph in the London Times of a recent date: "Kelly House, a mansion which over looks the Firth of Clyde from the heights about Wemyes Bay, was de stroyed by fire last Friday morning, and, from paper and other articles found near the buildings and in the village, it is presumed, that the fire was the work of militant suffragists. The house had teeen unoccupied since May last, when Mr. Clark Neiil vacated it and went to Largs." Clark Neill Is a brother of Kenneth M. C. Neill, son-in-law of Phil Mets chan.

Doyle, of Seattle, at the Imperial yesterday. Mr. Doyle used to play first vse with the old Baltimore Orioles when that team. with John McGraw, Willie Keeler and Hughie Jennings, Wllbert Robinson and other stars were in the Uneup. "There are o many players on the bench In the big leagues, and so many more gettine- t-" worst of it from the managements, while the minor leagues are full -of m"4-- league material for which there is no room n either of the two big organizations," he said, "that from the plnvers' star" a third big league is virtually a necessity. "From a financial viewpoint, the prospects are equally encouraging. There were two big leagues ten years ago, and there are twice as many peo ple going to ball games now as there were ten years ago. "What's the answer? The Federal League is going to be a success, be cause there is not only room for it. but an actual demand.

There is now a method of internal bathing which will keep the Intestines as clean and pure and free from waste as exacting Nature can demand which, taken occasionally, will prevent consti pation, biliousness with its depression, and the countless more serious dis eases which are caused by the blood taking up the poions from the intes tines and carrying them through the system.
