GRAFTING IS CHARGED
AGAINST CHAMBERLAIN
SALEM ATTORNEY PROMISES TO
BRINQ SUIT AGAINST OOVERNOR
TO RECOVER 110,000.00.
Charged with having kept 10.000 elate
money unlawfully, 'loyernor Chamberlain
will be niiiile defendant In an action at
law to recover the money from Ihe state,
by 1.. II. Mc.Miihon, thn Hulem attor
ney, who hiought a suit In Ihe Circuit
Court against ex-Hecretary of Htaie K. I.
Duiiliiir and aecured u judgment for
tlua.tiiiO for llm Male money paid to the
Hecretur)' of Htnle In fei a and appro
priated by that nfUHul lo I la own iiac. In
deltnnce of the coiiatltullon.
Attorney Mi Million promises In bring
the action In Ihe Octolier term nf court.
Tho Dunbur cnae la before, the Huprcrne
Court now on appeal. McMuhnn, by strict
Interpretation of thn coiiaillutlon, main
tu Ins Unit that Instrument fixes the max
imum pay of Ihe Hecretary of Htate at
llioo; the Governor at SI 500 and each of
llm Hiiiiremn Jiulgea al K'UUO.
Hut each of these official has been
receiving big emoluments In addition, es
pecially llm Hecretnry of Hlale. whose
Income (luring lhinuar'a office amounted
lo some I'.'il.iiiHi a year. Having secured
a Judgment against Dunbar, McMuhon
will next aim lila butteries at Chamber
lain. "Chamberlain saye he hue done a lot
for the people and saved them money,"
remarked Mr. Dunbar to an Oregonian
retireecntatlve. "Ilul he hua done noth
ing to save tm people from Ihe graft of
those olllcera and alanda In with them.
"I can show that Chamberlain could
have saved thn people of thla state 1390..
una, which wna glutted from them by
auccesalve Becretaiiea of Hlale In Ihe
lust :o years.
"(leorgn Mcllrldc, during Ihe eight
vears of hi Inciniihency. obtained SliiO.-
OHO unlawfully, but did not return the
money to the atule, nor did Chamberliiln,
then Attorney Heneral. take any anion
lo make him restore It. Hertretary Kln-
cald gut away with filO.000 morn during
hla four years, which which he would nol
have donu hud Chnmlicrluln set a prece-1
dent against It. Hecretnry Dunbar fol-
nhar fol-.
lowed wllh a graft of 1170.000. The total
Ol nil llie kihiih in fa;.in,. v iiniiujv-i -
lain mined not a finger lo prevent them. J
"During Chamberlain's first term he j
received llO.noo In unlawful perqulnllea,
including mw a ycHr ior iui"'cima mn
ivnltentinry nnn otner rmoiumenia tor
aervlcea III connection with other Insti
tution!.
"He ought to he compelled to return
thla money to Ihe sin to. It Is not his,
but Ihe people's, and he ought to be
ashamed to take It. It la the same kind
of graft aa Dunbnr'a $170,000. Hut that Is
the reason he stood In with Mcllrlde, Kln-
cald and Dunbar.
"1 wish very much to win theae suit.
lo show the servnnta of the people of
Oregon that the law must ge obeyed.
Huccers means not a dollar gain for me
personally; nnd If I lose 1 must pay out
of my ewn pocket II 000 costs. As I am
a poor mun I ran III ufTord the loan."

When W Were Girls and Boy.
You Patron and you mutruna, too.
On thl auspicious day.
We're met within thl shady grove
To see the children play;
And when we look upon their sports.
And see ithelr childish Joys,
We think upon the time when we
Like them were girl . and boy.
And what a glorious time we had
When to the school we went.
Our lesson i never troubled ua.
On play our minds were bent.
We played at tag. and other game,
And made a dreadful noise,
And sometimes teacher called up ui,
Then we were sorry boy.
I often think upon rh time
When we were young like them.
The girl have now to women grown
The boy have grown to men.
Now sterner duties take the place
Once filled with childish Joys.
Hut what a Jolly time we had
When we were girls and boy.

EARTH CAVES OVER HIM.
William Rakel Has Narrow Escape From
Death by Suffocation.
Very narrow waa the escape from death
of William Rakel. who waa suddenly
buried under a huge mass of dirt while
working at Fourteenth and Main street
Tuesday morning. With two other men
he was excavating for a cellar, when,
without warning, the embankment cav
ed hi. and he was felled and stricken
down, being entirely covered by the
earthen weight. His companion Immedi
ately rushed to hla aid. and worked fev
erishly for a few minute with their
shovels to extricate Rakel from his seri
ous predicament, and when air reached
the unfortunate man he wa unconscious.
He was breathing faintly, and was at
once conveyed to his home and medical
aid called, and he Is resting easily. No
bone were broken and Rakel suffered
no Internal lnjurie. but the shock wa
a severe one, and it was only the prompt
and hard work of his companions that
prevented his death from suffocation.

STATEMENT NO. 1 REPRE8ENTA"
TIVE DECLINES TO VOTE
FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
NO DEMOCRAT FOR HIM
Multnomah County Man Asks the Gov
ernor to Faithfully Adhere to HI
Campaign Thunder and Line
up With Republicans.
Dr. Luther M. Davis, who Is a Repub
lican and was elected as Repreaentatrva
on a Statement No. 1 platform, ask the
people' choice for United States Sena
tor whether If the Legislature should rat
ify his election, he will faithfully adhere
to his campaign statement as a "Roose
velt Democrat," and line up with Roose
velt principles and the Republican party.
Dr. Davis assert that In hi pre-election
speeches the Governor led the peo
ple to believe that he Is sincerely a Roose
velt man, thereby gaining many Repub
lican votes, but that a there la no such
party aa "Roosevelt Democrat," Mr.
Chamberlain muat be a Roosevelt Re
publican. "Waa this a sincere, truthful state
ment upon your part, or was It a decep
tive political statement to catch the. pop
ular vote?" queries the Representative.
In an Interview In the Portland Tele
gram, Dr. Davla said:
"Well, I will tell you how I feel about
it. What I am trying to do now la to
get Chamberlain to make hla position
plain. I do not understand what I meant
by a Roosevelt Democrat. He must tie
either a Roosevelt Democrat or a Roose
velt Republican. I feel that we are en
titled to know which.
"I will not vote for a Democrat for
United States Senator. The term "non
partisan' Is meaningless to me. Person
ally he Is a good fellow, and IJike him.
He is a hale fellow well met. a man who
always extends the glad hand and puts
up a nice talk, and thla has made him
popular. Rightly so, too, for we all like
that kind ol a man. His winning way
has made him many votes, no doubt. Per
sonally, I admire him very much.
"Now George went around the state
during the campaign and put up a big
talk of being a Roosevelt Democrat. In
the rural districts this kind of talk made
a hit. The country people thought it he
was a Roosevelt man he muet be a pret
ty good fellow, and they paid no atten
tion to tfcs Democrat part. But 1 will not
vote for a Democrat I do not believe I
am bound In that way. I want Chiun
bulain to commit himself that I all.
Staten.ent No. 1 men are pledged, and"
by hi own campaign talk he 1 pledged.
I desire to know whether he will live up
to that pledge and carry out Roosvelt's
and Republican policies if elected by the
Legislature to the United States Senate-."
"But Statement No. 1 men are pledged.
to vote for the people's choice, doctor.
question before the election?"
"Well, when we took our Statement
No. 1 pledges I had no more idea that
George Chamberlain would be elected
United Statea Senator than that this roof
over our heads is going to fall in right
now. He did not make this claim of be
ing a Roosevelt Democrat until after we
were pledged to the people's choice. He
made this kind of talk afterward In hie
campaign throughout the state."
'Suppose he hud made no talk of be
ing a Roosevelt Democrat in his cam
paign, but had run on a straight Demo
crat platform what would you regard aa
the- logical position of Statement No. I
Republicans then?"
"In that event." quickly responded the
Representative, "I should feel It my
bounden duty to vote for him. and would
do It no matter what happens. But be
did not do that: he put io talk of be
ing a Roosevelt Democrat, .and I think
he should explain his position now. That
is all."
"Take it for mauled, for the sake of
argument. Dr. Davis, that Mr. Chamber
lain should explain his position Dy saying
that he Is as much a Democrat -as ever.
and merely meant by the term "Roose
velt Democrat' that he Is an admirer of
and believer in Roosevelt policies, what
then?"
"Well." he answered, "I should thing
that In that event we Statement No. 1
Republicans would have a think coming.
In that case. I believe we should get .to
gether and talk the thing over. It is a
question in my mind whether our pledge .
could justly be regarded as binding ua if
he should make that reply to my letter
- 1 . . 1 . V. llnna 1, .(ba.
