8 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. MAY. 1901 -SPARE HO EFFORT TO DEFEAT LANE Devlin Supporters Organize for Campaign in Record Breaking Style. , . . DETERMINED TO SUCCEED Coming Fight Iilkcly to Be Most Bit ter in City's History Municipal Association Indorses Head ot Democratic Ticket. Never in the political annals of the city of Portland perhaps has there ever been made a more determined fight against any mayoralty candidate than is now being waged against the re-election of ,Mayor lne by the supporters of Thomas C. Devlin. Not In many years have the Re publican leaders been so thoroughly or ganized. To defeat Lane and take the mavoralty trom the Democrats and give to the Republican party the reins of power is the aim that will receive the concen trated efforts of those In charge of the Republican City Central Committee. Organization is the all-absorbing topic with Chairman W. M. Cake and his com mitteemen. First the word has been passed along the line to get out all non registered voters tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. Precinct committeemen have been busy night and day for a week rounding up the voters who failed to reg ister. Their names and addresses are in the hands of Chairman Cake and when the registration books are once open, these forgetful and indifferent voters will be urged to pay a visit to County Clerk field' office and enroll themselves. Where a voter is found too busy to take time to register, he will be hustled into an automootle and given a free ride to the county building and back to his place of business. ' Fire First Gun Tuesday. The opening gun in the Republican campaign, which was to have been tired tomorrow night at Selling-Hirseh Hall, has been retired until Tuesday night. This meeting is -counted on by the campaign committeemen to be a musing affair. All the candidates will be on hand, and all will speak. Well known Republican spellbinder will have an inning. The slogan of this meeting will be "Work, and work hard, for the head of the ticket." In the opinion of those who are engineer ing the campaign, the rest of the Re publican ticket Is as good as elected. Careful watch will be kept on all the candidates, however, and should any of them show lack of strength, then aid will be sent him in his district. But it Is a case of "Boom Devlin and the rest of the ticket will take care of itself." Early next week will find the Demo crats, too, flooding the city with cam paign oratory. .It is-the purpose of Chairman Montague to make an ora torical campaign for Lane. .A number of big rallies will be held 'With Lane as the drawing card. Other1 Demo cratic orators will take the platform and tell the "whole people' what a pood Mayor Lane has been for the City Of Portland. The Demcrats do not hope to have anything like the money or organization that the Repub licans are favored with, yet Chairman Montague is confident that his organ ization, when once it is completed, will be effective in vote-getting. He says the reports he is receiving so far are most encouraging, and in spite of the activity of the Republican cam paign committee, he declares that he sees no cause for alarm. Indorse Lane's Candidacy. Members of the Municipal Associa tion held a meeting yesterday after noon and decided, as an association, to take up the tight for Mayor Lane. The members of the. associatiop will work in conjunction with Chairman Montague: of the Democratic Central TWO THAT SPEAK VOLUMES IN FAVOR OF THE BITTERS OUR PRIVATE STAMP Committee ' A statement will bfl is-1 sued by the association: strongly in dorsing Lane and impressing upon the voters the fact that Lane does not, and never has, represented the "in terests." It is the intention of the leaders of the association to make a most vigor ous campaign in behalf of Lane. They will also take a hand in watching the registration that begins tomorrow. TALKS TO MASTER BAKERS Coast Organizer Gives Good Advice to Local Association. New life was infused into the Allied Master Bakers' Association ot this city at a meeting in Alisky Hall last night, which was addressed by A- W. J. Gibbs, of Sa.n Francisco, organizer and assist ant secretary of the Pacific Coast Mas ter Bakers' Association. , "The success of our organization." said Mr. Gibbs, "depends on "our ad hering strictly-to our motto, 'Get to gether and stick together.' " . The visitor then detailed some of the good results attained by the Cali fornia . bakers through organization and assured the members of the craft in Portland that , their trade could be protected only by co-operation. A number of new members were enrolled at the close of the meeting. The Portland branch of the Pacific Coast Master Bakers' Association was formed only three months ago, but its membership now includes 90 per cent of the bakers of the city. In that short time one reform has been ac complished, the practice of making Sunday deliveries having been aban doned. When the bakers not yet in the association have joined, the asso ciation proposes to do away with the present custom of receiving back stale bread from their grocery salesmen. The standard loaf of 16 ounces is uniformly made by local bakers and supplied to the trade at 5 cents a loaf, but the wholesale price quoted dealers varies from 24 to 4 cents. - When the organization is strong enough a schedule of prices will be fixed and all members will be required to sell their product accordingly. WAR VETERAN'S TROUBLE George Westfall Encounters Diffi culties in Securing Inheritance. George Westfall, an aged veteran of the Civil War, reached Portland yes terday after a journey of many hard ships to Buffalo. N. Y., where he went to assist in the settlement of the es tate of his dead brother, William West fall, valued at $80,000. The attorneys for the estate spent several weeks try ing to locate the surviving brother, and after securing his statements and signature to the papers in the case, announced that it would be several weeks more before the estate would be settled up. In the meantime Mr. Westfall be came anxious and started - for New York after being supplied by the law yers with S60 for expenses. This money he claims was stolen from him in Buffalo and he was again obliged to secure financial aid. He reached Portland without funds and the Coun ty Board of Relief furnished him a ticket to his home in McMlnnville. He says that the settlement of the estate has been blocked 'by a bequest of $30,000 to a church at Burnt Hills, N. Y.. while it had been repeatedly as serted by his brother that he intended to only give them S10.00-. and Westfall thinks some underhanded work has been going on. He will aid the attorneys in having the $10,300 set aside for the church, and the balance of $20,000 added to the estate, which is to be divided among the family of the deceased and the brother. v GREAT MAY SALE.

BOTH FRAZEfl AND IT Appointment of Deputy Prose cutor for Juvenile Court . Stfrs Up Trouble. LAW JS QUOTED BY BOTH District Attorney Names McAllister for Place, but Judge Refuses to Accept It and Wants Gallo way lo Hate It Instead. A tempest was .stirred up by the an nouncement by District Attorney Man ning yesterday that B. S. J. McAllister had been appointed Deputy District At torney of the Juvenile Court. When Judge Arthur L. Frazer was Interviewed on the subject last night, he said the appoint ment had been made without his ap proval, and he did not intend to sanction APPOINTED DEPUTY PROSE CXTOR FOR JUVEKILE COVRT BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY. It. for Mr. Manning should have consulted htm about the matter. District Attorney Manning said that from the attitude Judge Frazer assumed, he knew there was no use consulting with him. Judge Frazer has the following to say in re gard to the matter: "The amended Juvenile Court law pro vides that the District Attorney shall appoint such person as Deputy District Attorney as shall be satisfactory to the Judge of the Juvenile Court. This seems to mean that some effort should be made to ascertain what person would be' satis factory to the Judge of the Juvenile Court before the appointment is made. "It also seems to me that common courtesy would demand that the Judge be consulted before such an appointment be announced. Once before Mr. Manning attempted to force an appointment for this office upon me without giving me an opportunity to be heard, in accordance. I presume with the intention, which I am reliably informed he expressed im mediately after the passage of the law In these words: 'Judge Frazer bas nothing to say about the appointment of a deputy for the Juvenile Court. I will ap point whom I d m please. "There is another reason aside from the provisions of the law why I should be consulted in this matter. While the appointee would be technically a Deputy MI III i ppi Jiiii ! f ' ' -&"-inrn ,- navnitia t E. S. J. McAllister. ' " ............ . . . J. A. JACOBS, Brutus, Va., says: "I have used your Bitters for Stomach and Liver troubles and found it the best medicine I ever took. I never hesitate in recommending it to all such sufferers." - E. M. LEWIS, Montezuma, Ga., says: "I suffered for years from Acute Indigestion and other Stomach troubles, and tried many rem edies without relief. I was persuaded to try your Bitters.and I am now entirely welL" TTER'S AT ALL DRUGGISTS I District Attorney, he would" in his duties be more an officer of the Juvenile Court. His duties would require him to bo in almost constant attendance upon the Juvenile Court. Even in his investiga tions and prosecution of. adults for con tributory delinquency, and for other offenses affecting the welfare of children, i the prosecution would or should be car ried on from the child's standpoint, with, a view not so much of punishing the of fenders as of safeguarding the Interests of trie children. His duties all centering about the Juvenile Court, he would be in fact a member of my official family, not Sir. Manning's. I must be in constant touch with him: Mr. Manlng but seldom. - Issue Not Personal One. "As far as Mr. McAllister is con cerned personally. I have the highest regard for him. He Is a good man in every sense of the word, but this is not the question here. ' The question to be met is. who is the-best avail able man for the place? Much as I esteem Mr. McAllister, as a friend, I ' know of another, whose name I have already suggested to . Mr. Manning, (not at his Invitation, however) and whom I believe to be better qualified for this particular work, by training, experience and natural aptitude. Mr. Robert Galloway has already been tried in this place, and has shown him self to be an ideal man for the posi tion. We know what he can do. Mr. McAllister might do other things bet ter; I certainly do not question his ability as a lawyer or otherwise, but for this position and this work, I be lieve Mr. Galloway better fitted. This is all there is, or should be, to the question. It is not a matter of "the per sonality of Mr. McAllister, or Mr. Gal loway. It is not a question of personal difference between Mr. Manning and myself. It is a question of what is best to be done in the interests of the pub lic, nnd particularly for carrying on our work for children. "To go back to the words of the law: Such person shall be satisfactory to ti.e Judge of the Juvenile Cort who is in this instance, Mr. Robert Gallo- Vway. Manning Claims Appointment. Mr. Manning, In an interview last night, was asked: "What have you to say as to why you did not appoint Mr. Robert Galloway, as suggested by Judge Frazer, for deputy district at torney of the Juvenile Court?" "Nothing, except to say that under the law, I believe the apointment to be my own. Therefore, I am going to make the appointment. I have nothing against Robert Galloway. I would do him a favor In a minute if I could con sistently, but neither Judge Frazeiv-or anybody ever asked me to appoint -Bob Galloway until the day before yester day, when Judge Frazer by letter, re quested his appointment. Bob Gallo way himself never asked for the place, and about a month ago I -suggested to Judge Frazer the name of Ernest Brand, for this place, and told Judge Frazer I would send Mr. Brand up there and let him break him in. These are the very words that the Judge used: 'I am not going to appoint any of the hangerson Around your office for political purposes.' He said this in the presence of Judge Sears." "Of course this did not set very well on me because I am not in politics, although I hold a political position. "He further made some derogatory statement about Mr. Brand, which dis pleased me very muh) because Mr. Brand is one of the cleanest young men in this city. When Mr. Brand spoke to him about it. Judge Frazer told Mr. Brand that he had heard some person say some thing about Brand in connection with some case, but would not tell Mr. Brand NOTICE TO VOTERS! t If you hare not already registered, hb opportunity will be given . you. commencing Monday moral ns at 10:30 o'clock, continuing until mid. night; Tuesday until midnight, and Wednesday until 5 o'clock - P.

I think that Is another one of Judge Fra- ser's dreams, about like his statement that I said I will appoint whom I damn please. Such a statement -was never made by me. What the Law Provides. "The law under which this appointment comes provides that In counties of more than 100,000 inhabitants, the district at torney of the judicial district In which said county is located, 'shall appoint such deputy district attorney as shall be satis factory to the judge of the juvenile court, and it shall be the duty of such special deputy district attorney to prosecute cases arising under this act, and to pre pare "the necessary papers for the same, and also by and with the consent of the district attorney, and under his control.' "You will find this goes a little further than it does In Judge Erazer's state ment. But . however that may be, it seems to me that as I have named good men, Judge Frazer ought to be willing to confirm either, one or the other. While Bob Galloway is probably as good as either of these men whom I have men tioned. It does seem to me that some law yer could be found in the city who would be equally as well-fitted for the place as Mr. Galloway. "I would like to have consulted with Judge Fraaer on this appointment, but I don't like to be Insulted when I undertake to make an appointment, whtoh 1 con sider my privilege under the law. It is easy to settle this question. I would be perfectly willing to leave it to Judge Sears, Judge Gantenbetn, Judge Cleland, or any lawyer In the city, as to who has the appointive power. If Judge Frazer has it. I will be perfectly willing to have him appoint Bob Galloway, and make him my appointee, tout If I have the appoint ing power, and the deputy appointed is under my control, then I propose to name him. Judge Frazer has known me long enough to know that if he had not in sulted me he could talk this matter over with me, and probably accomplish a great deal more than he could by writing me a letter naming his man. I think in ap point Mr. McAllister I made the best se lection that could be made." . Jfcw Orleans Invites Roosevelt. NEW ORLEANS, La., May 11. Albert Godchaux, president of the New Or leans Progressive Union, today sent an invitation to President Roosevelt to visit New Orleans next October, in the event of his attending a deep-water convention In Memphis at that time.

FIVE NEW POLICE ED Chief Gritzmacher Takes' De cisive tep Toward Making y ' Department Stronger. BRUIN'S INFLUENCE WANES Stephen Hogeboom, Whom Captain Caused to Be Reduced to Rank, One of Appointees Seventeen Patrolmen Are Appointed. Five sergeants were appointed yes terday by Chief of Police Gritsmacher, and 17 patrolmen were added o the force, the new recruits having recently passed the civil service examinations. The recruits came before Mayor Lane and the members of the police com mittee of the executive board at the City Hall, and were addressed by the Mayor on their duties, after which they were ordered by the chief to secure un iforms and prepare for, the annual -inspection May 25. The appointment of five patrol ser geants .by Chief Gritzmacher was a distinct surprise, aa It was not ex pected that any such action would be taken for several months. It Is now understood, however, that the East Side station will be equipped soon and the department placed on a much better working basis. As great as was the surprise at the appointment of the five sergeants, still greater was , the flurry In police cir cles when it became known- that among those named for sergeantcies was Pa trolman Stephen Hogeboom, who was reduced to the ranks through the in fluence of Inspector Bruin 18 months ago. This is looked upon at police headquarters as a complete vindication of Hogeboom and a distinct rebuff to Bruin. . Charge Against Hogeboom. Hogeboom was accused by Inspector Bruin of furnishing The Oregonlan with news In the case of Maud Sheek. who asserted that she was held up and robbed by two thugs. Inspector Bruin wished the news suppressed. Hogeboom was reduced to the grade of patrol man shortly afterwards, and has worked in that capacity since. His vindication at the hands of Chief Gritz machtr is said to demonstrate that much friction exists between Bruin and Chief Gritzmacher. and that the latter Is supported by Mayor Lane and, the police committee; otherwise, it is pointed out, he could not appoint Hoge boom. The sergeants named by Chief Gritz macher are: Stephen Hogeboom, John L. Wendorf. E. Johnson. W. E. Robson and John A. Goltz. All are old and experienced policemen, who have been connected with the department for years. They will be assigned to duty when the dhief arranges the force un der his revised plans. , There will be six patrol sergeants, as E. W. Cole already holds a similar position, and there are a!30 two detective sergeants, William Jones and C. E. Baty. "You are now entering the employ of the city, where some of you will probably remain for life," said Mayor Lane, in addressing the class of blue coats to be at the City Hall. "As em ployes of the city we only ask of you that you enforce the laws as you find them. This is your. duty as good citi zens. Tour interests are the best in terests of the city and Involve a just execution of the laws impartially, and you must remember that you are also amenable to these same laws." Who the New Men Are. Those appearing before the commit tee and the standing each received in the examination were: James E. Keith, 94.75; Fred M. West, S3.20; Leo A. Harms, 92.95; John B. Addison, 91.60; John E. Abbott, 95.80; Clifford U Bar zee. 88.25; Edgar R. Bewley, 87.30; Stephen S. Arnold, 86.53; Frank A. Grimm, 86.10; William E. Justus, 804S; Forest W. Peterson. 79.23; Charles F. Hunter, 78.50; Charles C. Gloss, 77.05; Nathan H. Suitter, 76.50; George W. Russell. 71.46: Carl D. Henson, 75.92; Ralph H. Stahl. 75.78. Among the ellgibles was Charles L. Burton, a former school teacher. He did not appear before the committee yesterday, but is expected to qualify and report for duty tomorrow. EXHUMES OIL TANK BILL Council Committee Asks Report on the Sharkey Ordinance. After reposing in the committee s hands for about six months, the ordinance re quiring; the Standard Oil Company to re move its storage oil tanks from their present location, in the warehouse dis trict on the East Side, to a district where the danger to life and property will not be so great, has been exhumed by the Coun cil committee on heaKh and police. When the ordinance, which was . introduced by Councilman Sharkey, was presented to the Council it was referred to the com mittee mentioned pending a report from the representatives of the company and the business men of the East Side, who were seeking a plan of settlement that would be satisfactory to all Interests. A report was never had from that source and the ordinance was permitted to remain undisturbed in its pigeonhole, only to be discovered yesterday when the clerk asked what disposition should be made of it. . It was then that the status of the ordinance was discovered. On the suggestions of members of the committee, the clerk has notified the of ficers of the oil company and the East Side business men, requesting them to make a report to the committee at its next meeting as -to whether the parties to the controversy have reached an agree ment as to the location of the tanks. . BANK CLEARINGS CLIMB Portland's Percentage of Increase for Last Week Was 40.1. Following closely the pace set throughout, April, Portland continues to distance all cities of her class in percentages of Increase in bank clear ings. During the week ending May 9, the Increase over the clearings for, the same period last year was 40.3 per cent. This showing, according to Bradstreet's figures, is a more favor able one than was made during the week by any other city in the United States of Portland's size.

This shows that the business of the city and surrounding section is far from being on the decline, and every prospect is that it will continue its present splendid ratio of increase.
