RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED DAILY CITY STATISTICS 'T 1 ' 1 i1 t:A FewSf; i Eighteen of the Original Committee of Twentyrfjour Take Action, to.. Bo Submitted lo a Com mittee of Forty. LJke vaccine virus, the get-together policy of the Multnomah County Repub licans Is taking, and last night 18 of the committee of 24 lovcfeasterp appoint ed by F. E. Beach, president of the Re publican Club of Portland, met at .Allsky Hall and adopted a resolution which may yet bring together the fac tional members of the party. The com. mittee was prcs-ldod over by Mr. Beach, with Charles E. lckwood as secretary. who when they opened the gathering of lovefeastors were only ex-offlclo officers. There was some confusion about the hall In which the meeting was to be held The committee had engaged the main hall in the. Aljsky building, but through a miPtaKe in aaies ine jupcuiis w' tracked into room 214. Many of the mem bers of the committee found difficulty In locating this room, and" this -miry have irn tho' reason that the entire 24 were not present. . " . ' Outlines Purpose of. Calh Aftrr ho hjid formally called the gath Hnrr to order. Mr. Beach afcain outlined the purpose of calling the meeting, the purport of which he stated was tp have bvgories be bygones( to have the fac tions hurv the hatchet, d I Vest themselves of the knives they have been carrying for years past and comejnto the big .coun cil which was soon to be held and smoke the pipe of peace. Those present were nf in name heart, and brotherly love and liurmnnv true tlll Wat'chWOrd "Of the President Beach announced, af ter he had outlined the purpose of the meeting that inasmuch as both "he and Mr. Tvirlcwood were only cx-ofnejo om pers of the committee, a chairman and secretary should be chosen for the meet lng. The selection naturally fell upon i chmiirirr of Mr. Beach and Mr. Tjcicwood. C. M. Idleman' naming Mr. Beach to be chairman and- Dr.- Emmett Drake naming Mr. Lockwood. Botn-were elected without opposing nominations. To Map Out Reunion. . Sophie 1 The object of this committee meeting was to map out a Republican reunion nlan. To this end a resolution which srMnrv Lockwood had typewritten the purport of which was the forming of a Republican League of Multnomah r-onntv. was submitted to several of the lovefeasters before it was offered by G. V Stapleton. Those who saw tnc typewritten sheet before It was offered aerecd that it would be . tne proper thine-. There was only one objectlo j.nd that was made by C M. Idleman after the resolution had been offered. The resolution as It was originally of fered left the appointing power win the president. Mr. Idleman, after mild iv lntimntlne that he had none too much love for the direct-primary law. but dcclarlnsr that in thut -It. nad be come a law by the will and vote of the people, he was willing to give the law a full and Impartial trial, suggested that the word president be stricken out and the words "by your committee l serled. This was done after consiuc able debate. Now the resolution passed by this committee will he or fcrcd for further consideration at the meeting ef the 40 originals, with last night's committee added. "What the Kcsolutlpn Says. The resolution which "may or may not be the means of reuniting tho scattered Republicans of Multnomah County follows: To the committee appointed under the auspices of the Republican Club of Port land, Or.: , , . . . "We. the committee appointed by the president of the Republican Club of Port land. In pursuance df a motion adopted at your recent meeting at the Commer cial Club, beg leave to report back for adoption the following recommendations to the Republicans of Multnomah County: We believe that the factional strife that has existed within the Republican party In this county In the past should cease. tVo favor giving the direct primary nom inating elctions law. recently enacted by i-rnr nf the neonle of this state, a .free. full and complete trial at the next prima-: rles. bv observing its provisions and put ting them in operation in every particular. We favor giving our Vupport to only those candidates for Republican nomina tions who idiall. In their declaration to become candidates under the provisions of said primary law. pledge themselves to give their unqualified support to the suc cessful nominee for the office to which they aspire. k . c would recommend that an organiza tion, to be known as the Republican League of Multnomah County, be formed: and that for the purpose of Instituting such organization, the president of tho Republican Club be authorized to Invite the Republicans of each precinct In -this countv to suggest the names of. two repre sentative Republicans in each precinct for selection, who. together with 50 represent ative Republicans from the county at large, all lo be selected by your commit tee, bo Invited to meet at a time and llacc certain, to perfect such organiza tion, without regard to past factional dif ferences. . Ghost of Primary Law. This resolution may go far toward swinging Into line the sadly shattered Republican forces. The cropper that such a plan is apt to meet up with Is the direct primary law. which loomed up at last night s gathering, like Banquo s shost It would not down. It confronted the faithful IS like a reef a shipwrecked mariner the law was on the statute books so It had to stand, and as good Republicans, those present wanted It un derstood that until tne law was tested to Its fullest that they were for direct primaries. A. J. Capron had hidden away In the recesses of his Inside coat pocket another resolution. "When he rose ' to speak he announced at the outset that bo did not offer what he was about to read as a counter proposition, nor did he want to have what he read considered. lie thought It was good and wanted tho Teet to hear It. His paper advocated the appointment of 50 tried and true Repub licans to pass upon an candidates mat came up before the primaries. The. 60 would be empowered to select only the "right" candidates and the objectionable or doubtful men who desired office would be cast out. There was no discussion on the contents of Mr. Caprons paper, so the- voice of the committee was silent as to what was thought of his suggestions. Ills Republicanism Questioned. That the original 40 In their attempt to brine tocether at this meeting Republl cans of various party shades, were shy on. the "know" cropped out. On the list was the name of B. P. Reynolds, of Co lumbla Slough". If the 40 were not wise to Reynolds' political complexion, there were those present who were and they did not hesitate to speak out In meeting. Reynolds had contributed $50 to Mayor Lane s xyimpalgn. so he was not conoid ered a good Republican and could not rea. sonably haVe any Interest In the love feasters. because In addition to giving SCO to Mayor Lane, he was a gold Demo crat. Borne one suggested that he was J&ear boukh to coast, but there were MprrUjce IJceai. BAUM-BAUEIt Adam Bium. Bauer, 34. n tw.i 22. 63 Eart Alder street: Etra M..Morr1on, 22. . . . - , .

Contractor R. Currier, of St. Johns, is wanted, and wanted badly, by quite a' number of perrons In that city. Ho has lived and done business in St. Johns one year, but since Monday nis House lias been vacant, and nobody knows where he has gone. Since being In St. Johns he ha built several houses. 'but never exactly fulfilled the contracts, so the owners say. "VV. R. McKeon. for whom he put up a dwelling. ha paid 50) In Jlens on his home that were incurred by Contractor Currier. It is reported that there are many other victims or tne Mint ort. Mr. Currier was a "high-life financier. if some of his other transactions are cor rectly reported, that of selling the same piece of property to several different per sons, giving each a little rflee. A delega tion from St. Johns will call upon Dis trict Attorney Manning, and ask that an ctTort be made to ascertain the where abouts of Contractor Currier, and that he be brought back to face his accusers who are his victims.

Another check for 775.000 was delivered to J. Couch Flanders. Several large purchases have been made during the past month along the ri'cr; and In each case the name of the pur chaser was withheld. Nevertheless It was the general belief that the Southern Pa cific and O. R. K. were behind the deals, although no official confirmation of the rumors to that effect could be obtained.
