Bishop Sole "Bolshevik" Cliobcn at Large anil Jovial Meeting of Body. With the exception of one candi date, the insurgent Chamber of Com merce ticket. Jestingly known as the "bolshevik slate," went down to de feat last night at the annual meeting of the organization, when the ballots were counted. A total of 568 votes had been cast during the voting pe riod of one week. Six candidates of the 11 whose names appeared on the ballot were elected decisively, while in the in stance of two the vote was a tie, necessitating a recount which will be held today. Seven of the directors were to be elected, and in addition to the candidates brought forward by the nominating committee, four in surgent contenders were placed in the field by petition, with the move ment led by T. H. Edwards. H. B. Van Dmrr Hradu I.iat. The six successful candidates, who are elected as directors, are, in the order of plurality, H. B. Van Duzer. present president of the chamber; O. W. Mielke, re-elected; W. D. Whit comb, H. C. Huntington, E. G. Craw ford and Roy T. Bishop. The latter was an insurgent candidate. E. K. Sensenich. regular candidate, and Kred H. Strong, insurgent, tied with votes of 294, and will await decision by recount. If the recount proves the correctness of the tie, decision will be by lot. The vote was as follows: Roy T. Bishop, insurgent, 323; E. G. Craw ford, regular, 325; C. W. Hodson, reg ular, 278; H. C. Huntington, regular, ."36; Coe A. McKenna, insurgent, 235; O. W. Mielke, regular, 518: W. W.

The meeting was the largest annual assembly in. the history of the cham ber, and was jovial to the point of hilarity. There were the routine re ports, all indicative of , the growth and usefulness of the chamber, but these speedily gave way to enter tainment numbers of genuine merit vocal and" instrumental. ' The hit of the evening, perhaps, was the sing ing of olden songs by the assembled business men, led in admirable fash ion through the genius kof Walter Jenkins. And when "Bfly" Mont gomery stood by the piano, cigar in hand, and sang "My Dalling Nellie Gray," there wasn't a vtice in the house that didn't join the Ihorus At the close of the programme lunch was served, the belerages and comestibles being gifts If Portland wholesalers. I that the ice pack reached our winter quarters just a little ahead of us and shut us out. We had no choice, as the ice came closer and closer to the coast. We went, therefore, as far as ithe-ice permitted, and, plunging into ' some old floes fringing the west coast of Aium .Island (at the mouth of Chaoun bay) our position became not as good as I had wished, as we were exposed to the whole ice pack. How ever, our gallant little vessel will certainly stand the test with flying colors." "Three days after our arrival here we met with some members of the Tschuktschi and Maquati tribes," said the message. "They had their tents on Aiun island, but left for the inner country October 3, to spend the win ter in the woods watching their rein deer herds. Dinpatch Carrier Leaves. "Sverdrup" left together with them, equipped for eight months, in order to study these collections (tribea?). Olonkin left October 20 for Nlshne, Kolymsk (at the head of the Kolyma river) carrying dispatches intended for home. But he returned November 11, having met with Russians at a little village on the Kolyma called Saharnaia, who told him that no connections could be obtained- from Nishne, Kolymsk, with the outside world on account of the war. Hansen and Wisting will leave shortly for Nome with the mail. "As soon as the ice opens in the spring, we are continuing our way as far as Nome, where I hope to be in July or August, 1920." After asking that mail be forward ed, Amundsen concludes: "We are leaving for Nome after a short stay to enter the ice around Wrangel islands from where the drift probably will take us five years. All well and happy. (Signed) "AMUNDSEN." M1THUB GETS OVATION HOUSE ACCLAIMS REPRESEN TATIVE FOR ABILITY. PRICE OF EATING DOWN t here had duction of orders."

OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, April 30. At the con clusion of two days' service as presid ing officer of the committee of the whole house on the state of the Union, Representative McArthur tonight re ceived a tremendous ovation by prac tically the entire membership of the house when the committee arose and he made his formal report to the speaker. The bill under consideration yesterday and today was the Sterling Lehlbach civil service retirement measure, which the house promptly passed after Chairman McArthur made his report. During his two days in the chair Mr. McArthur demonstrated marked ability as a presiding officer. His decisions were prompt and just; he maintained better order than has ex isted in congress since the days of Speaker Reed, and he drove the house at a high rate of speed. Old-timers in congress said tonight that Mr. Mc Arthur is probably the most forceful and effective presiding officer that congress has seen in a generation. His strong, clear voice is a big factor in maintaining order. This is the. first time that Speaker Gillett has called any far western member to the chair during the con sideration of an important measure. Mr. McArthur has heretofore occupied the chair on several unimportant oc casions, but yesterday and today gave him hia first real opportunity to dem onstrate his worth as a presiding of ficer.

What are we com ing to in this country, anyway? Are we going to let a lot of old women, like Bill Bryan, tell us what we can do, or are we gotng to do as we please? Not all of us can go to Cuba or some other wet place, so let's get Edwards in and let him liven up the country." JohiiOD Wins Ob Street. The street vote showed Johnson the republican favorite, with Hoover a close second and General Wood third. McAdoo led the democrats, while Wil son and Edwards tied for second place. The detailed vote was as follows: Hoover 17, Hughes 3, Johnson 21, Lowden 3. Pershing 1, Taft 3, Wood 7, Bryan 2. Edwards 3, Hitchcock 1, McAdoo 6, Palmer 2, Wilson 3. At the establishment of Sherman, Clay & Co., the vote was: Hoover 6, Johnson 9, Lowdcn 4, Taft 2, Wood 2, Wilson 1. In the cigar stores poll, two men at otie place flatly refused to vote, saying it was against their policy to discuss politics, religion and family affairs. One man voted for Johnson, but said he thinks Johnson "has no chance." He mentioned Taft or pos sibly Hughes as likely to be the "dark horse." One man said: "Oh, I don't care who's elected, just so it ain't an ex-' general. We don't want a military man." . One man in frJr.t of the counter said he was for Wood. The man be hind the counter said: "Say. any old time I vote for a military man there'll be something doing." "What's the idea?" asked the first. "Why should we want a kaiser?" the other retorted. "Well, haven't we got something worse, now?" fired back the first man. "Wilson is little less than a king." "Tou can say I'm for Wood with bells," he continued. The cigar stores poll showed the following: Hoover 1, Johnson 12, Lowden 2, Wood 7, McAdoo 1. A vote taken at the United States National bank upon tie initiative of the firm, resulted as follows: R. W. Schmeer 2. Hoover 55, Wood 40, John son 19, Lowden 4, Pershing 2, Bryan 2. Hitchcock 1, Wilson 2, McAdoo ,2, Taft 2. Gerard 1. ORPHEUM GIRLS PRETTY BEAUTIES TO BE OX BILL THAT OPENS TOMORROW. m 'Flashes" Will Be Headline Act 'and Is. Reported to Sparkle With Wit and Fun. A show praised as being doubly attractive on account of the presence of a dozen pretty girls in the various acts is to he the Orpheum's offering a( the HeMig theater, beginning with the matinee tomorrow. This show will close its Portland engagement with the performance next Wednes day afternoon. "Flashes," the headline act, with Doc Baker, celebrated protean artist, as the star, is a revue of fun, fads and fashions, and eight pretty girls take part in the vivacious entertain ment written especially around the lightning-change talents of Baker. " "Flashes" is all that the versatile press agent claims for it," said a newspaper reviewer in Seattle. "It is the principal feature on . a bill of high-class attractions. Sparkling with wit, backed up by a wealth of setting and elaborate costumes, the company includes a beauty chorus of really pretty girls, who are very much in evidence throughout. There is an ec centric dance duo, who introduce something new in stepping, and a series of mystifying lightning cos tume changes. Doc Baker, noted pro tean artist, stages this number sup ported by Polly Walker, Bud and Jack Pearson and eight fashion girls." The extra attraction of the girl show is Wallis Clark, actor of note, who with a capable little company offers a playlet called "What We Vant Most." This is a gripping sketch exceptionally well acted and a pleasing song number is intro duced by Miss Devah Morel. ROAD FIGHT OPEN! V Phone your want ads to The Orego nian. Main 7070.

Johnson was third, in the largest vote canvassed in any one day of The Oregonian s informal poll for choices of presidential candidates which was recorded yesterday. The canvass was , taken of employes of the Oregon- J Washington Railroad & Navigation I company, in the Wells-Fargo build ing; the men in the plant of the Pen- insula Shipbuilding company, on the street at Second and Alder and Broad way and Morrison, at various cigar stores and Sherman, Clay & Co. William Gibbs McAdoo proved to be first choice with the majority of the railroad employes who voted dem ocratic ballots, with Woodrow Wilson as a strong second. Five democrats voted for Hoover and one for Henry j Ford. ! The vote in the railroad offices was taken with the co-operation of George F. Koch, president of the employers' association and totaled 442 votes, 354 of which were republican and 88 dem ocratic. There are approximately 650 members, of whom 100 are minors. Hoover Lead Bis;.

In the plant of the Peninsula Ship building company, Johnson "was the whole show," as one man stated it. His lead over all other candidates there was overwhelming. . Hoover came limping along in second place, with Lowden a weak third; General Wood received no vote. The detailed vote: Johnson 115, Hoover 17, Lowden 4, Hughes 1, Ed wards 5, McAdoo 6, Wilson 1. Many were the comments made by men who were approached on the streets in the vicinity of Second and Alder and of Broadway and Morrison during the day. All sorts of individ uals were asked for their choice and most of those queried responded, al though in several cases a gruff, "nothing doing too busy,": or some such remark was heard as men hur ried along after being told, what was sought. "Wait for Convention," Advice. "We elect men to say who shall be candidates," remarked one well dressed man, "and why should I worry about nominees now? Let the convention decide and then we'll know what to do." "We've got a dandy chance to have a coast man for president this time, and if we throw it away we don't deserve to have another. I want Hi ram put that down." "I want a western man, too," said another man, who was with him, "but I do not prefer Johnson. I favor Hoo ver. Hoover will give the Pacific coast a square deal, for he spent a lot of his boyhood right here in Ore gon and got a lot of his, education at Salem in the days when he was an office boy. I vote for him."
