COLONEL SCORES
WASHINGTON VOTE
ROOSEVELT SAYS RESULT IS
"SCANDALOUS" AND FRAUD
WAS COMMITTED
THIRD TERM CHARGE IS ANSWERED
Ex-President Declares Taft's Father
And Brother Were Supporters
Of General Grant In
Last Race
DEFIANCE, Ohio, May 16. When
Colonel Roosevelt learned the out
come of the Washington state Republican-
convention yesterday, as a
result of which two sets of delegates
are to be sent to the National con
vention, he denounced the action of
the Taft supporters as "scandalous"
At Paulding he said:
"The most scandalous thing our op
ponents have recently tried and fail
ed in is. to steal from the people of
Washington the delegates of the state
Whenever we held primaries in that
state we beat them. Where they
were strongest we beat them 2 to 1.
Where they were not so strong we
beat them 8 to 1. They had no
chance of any kind and so they 'have
endeavored to steal what they could
not earn, to try by theft to get what
they could not get from the poeple"
Large., crowds met Colonel Roose
velt during the day. At Lime while
he was speaking a man called out:
"What about the third term?"
Colonel Roosevelt whirled about
and pointed his finger in the direction
of the questioner.
"You can't ask me any question,
you foolish creature, that I can't an
swer," he said. "I will answer you
by quoting the words of President
Taft's father about the third term."
He then read a letter written by
Judge Alphonso Taft, the President's
father, to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
After quoting Judge Taft's opinion,
in referring to Grant's candidacy for
a third term, that the only danger
lay in the use of Federal patronage
for the purpose of procuring a third
consecutive term, he said that Judge
Taft's name headed the list of mem
bers of a Grant third term club.
"Down among the list of members
comes the name of a bright young re
presentative of the family, Charles P.
Taft," he said. "The whole- Taft fam
ily was in that movement.
"I will appeal from son to father
and ask you to accept the sound com
mon sense which the father spoke as
to the ridiculous folly of raising any
talk abou? a third term, when the
terms are not consecutive and the
man of power has no earthly
means of influencing a single office
holder, a single privileged represent
ative of the privileged class."

ALUMINUM TRUST
FIGHT IS STARTED
GOVERNMENT SUES TO RE
STRAIN CORPORATION FROM
CONTROLLING BUSINESS
500 PER CENT DIVIDEND DECLARED
Company Owns Virtually All Known
Deposits In This Country
Unlawful Compacts
Alleged
PITTSBURG, May 16 The Federal
Government filed a civil anti-trust j
suit against the Aluminum Company j
of America, which will be tte basis
for an "agreed decree," designed to
restrain the so-called aluminum trust
from monopolizing the manufacture
of aluminum and its products, includ-j
ing cooking utensils. " j
In a petition in equity to the United"
States Court for the Western District
of Pennsylvania, the company is
charged with being a monopoly re
straining interstate and foreign com
merce in violation of the Sherman
law. It is declared to have acquired
a substantial control of the aluminum
industry of the United States, and to
have charged unreasonably high
prices and profits on its products. The
dissolution of the corporation is not
sought but. the court is asked to is
sue nine broad injunctions against
alleged unlawful countracts, combin
ations, conspiracies and practices.
The Government concedes that the
company's ownership of more than 90
per cent of the known deposits of
bauxite (the base of aluminum) in
the United States and Canada, suit
able for the manufacture of the met
al, is not "within itself," unlawful.lt
is charged however, that the practic
al monopoly in bauxite and the manu
facture of aluminum, which the com
pany legally enjoyed on the- expira
tion of its patents for making alum
inum in 1909 has been maintained by
unlauwful agreements and unfair
methods towards competitors.
The extent of other bauxite depos
its in the United States is not known
at this timje, but it is pointed out
that there are inexhaustible quanti
ties abroad, which could be placed at
the disposal of compettiors for alum
inum manufacture if the restraints on
the trade are removed.
The history of the aluminum' cooking-utensil
industry in the United
States says the petition, "is the his
tory of shipwrecks, "caused chiefly or
contributed to by the arbitrary, dis
criminatory and unfair dealings of
the defendant" , y
The agreed decree, which will Be
entered within a few days will follow
the Government's prayer for re
straints on the company. This agree
ment, obviating a long battle in the
courts, was the result of several
weeks of negotiations between the
Department of Justice and the cor
poration. William T. Chantland, special as
sistant to the Attorney-General, is in
charge of the case, which he develop
ed for the Government. The bill also
is signed by Attorney-General Wick
ersham, Assistant Attorney-General
Fowler and United States Attorney
Jordan, of Pittsburg.
The Aluminum Company, of Amer-'
ica, incorporated in Pennsylvania, j
originally as the Pittsburg Reduction J
Company, has grown, it is pointed out j
from a $20,000 capitalization in 1888, 1
until its assets now are estimated at
$27,000,000. A stock dividend of 500 !
per cent ,or $16,000,000 was declared !
in 1909. ;
In addition to its extensive -raw ma- j
terial (bauxite) holdings, the Govern
ment declares that the company pro
duces practically 80 per cent and con
sulates substantially 100 per cent of
the alumina used in making alumi
num; manufactures substantially 100
per cent of the crude and semi-finished
aluminum for the United States
and Canada; more than 70 per cent
of the aluminum cooking utensils in
the United States; controls the man
ufacture and sale of over 50 per cent
of aluminum casting for this country
used primarily in the, automobile in
dustry, and more than 70 per cent of
all aluminum goods and novelties of
general make in this country.
NEWLY WEDS HAVE
One of the most enjoyable events
given by the Newly Weds of this city
was held Wednesday evening. The
party went to Clear Creek Park and
a fine (spread prepared by the brides
was enjoyed. The husbands of course
did justice to the good things, and
enjoyed many dances in the pavilion
until a late hour after the supper was
served. The music was furnished by
a large concert Victrola, which had
been taken out for the dancing. Among
the features of the evening were the
selections from "The Pink Lady," by
the Newly Wed - Quartet composed
of A. A.. Price, George Hankins, (bas
sos,) H. E. Hendry, (mezzo-soprano)
Dr. C. H. Meissner, tenor. The
solos given by M. D. Latourette, who
rendered "I Love It," responding to
a hearty encore "Oh You Beautiful
Doll:" W. R. Logus, whose strong and
musical voice sounded through the
vale, was never heard to better ad
vantage when he gave "Don't Wake
Me Up I Am Dreaming,", but he had
hardly finished singing this when he
was awakened by the hearty applause
of his listeners, and he responded
most graciously by singing "God Be
With You Till We Meet Again." The
Newly Wed Quartet sang before the
start was made for home, their selec
tion being "Put Your Arm Around
Me." To the surprise of the singers
as well as the listeners two farmers
made their appearance hunting for
cows, thinking the noise made by the
quartet and the soloists was from a
cow in despair. Apologies were offer
ed by the farmers, and of course ac
cepted by the singers the latter wend
ed their way in another direction
hunting for their lost stock. The
party returned to Oregon City about
12 o'clock after having a most delight
ful time. The two farmers, who call
ed on the party at the park, will be
notified ahead of time that this quar
tet and the two soloists will be that
vicinity, so it will be no occasion"Tor
them to interrupt the merrymaker's
."musical" selection.
Those enjoying the trip were Mr.
and Mrs. M. D. Latourette, Mr. and
Mrs. W. R. Logus, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Hankins, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Price,
Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Meissner, Mrs.
Walter Wells, Mr. an(kMrs. H. E.

date To Be Reckoned With
Second Prize Appeals To
All Candidates
Have you noticed that the Morning
Enterprise has been publishing real
live news in this, column news of
great thoroughfares that are planned
and what great automobile companies
expect to do. Not that his news is
any more important than that relat
ing to the cjandidates in the great
automobile contest, but it is at least
a change, and who does not relish a
change? The contest manager, who
is responsible for this department,
does not want to surfeit the readers
of the paper on what Miss McCord is
doing, or what Joe ,Sheahan is doing
or what Kent Wilson is doing. As 'a
matter of fact he does not know what
any of them is doing except Miss Mc
Cord. She is leading by a goodly
margin, and so far as the manager
knows, she is depositing her ballots
as she obtains them.
A policeman told the manager
Thursday night and if you have trou
bles yod know the man to tell them
to is a policeman that Joe Sheahan
had come to him unsolicited and de
clared he would win the automobile
hands down. According to the story
which arrived in this office second
hand.Joe has votes galore, and he is
just as certain of being the owner of
that $785 Ford touring car as Super
intendent of City Schools Tooze is
of being reelected for the coming
year, or that Mayor Dimick and the
City Council will have another squab
ble before a fortnight. The manag
er hopes the young high school ath
lete is a contender in the race. And,
furthermore, the manaCer believes
that he will be. And then there is a
second prize of $100. If Joe should
happen to lose the auto don't you
his friends think he would be tick
led to death to get that second prize?
Of course you do, and of course you
are going to help him just as much as
you think he deserves helping. - The
race is anybody's as yet, but if Shea
han gets busy, Miss McCord, who has
made a remarkable record, will have
to get even busier than she has been.
And in this little, heart-to-heart talk
Wilson, probably the most popular
young man in Oregon City, and Brown
the insurance agent, have not been
mentioned. Watch them!

' CASE IS
HEARD BY LAKIN
JUDGE HOLDS PLAINTIFF CAN
NOT COLLECT SALARY UN
LESS HE IS LEGAL CHIEF
I
FINAL DECISION EXPECTED SOON
Plaintiff, City Recorder and City
Treasurer Are Witnesses Sal
ary For "Reasonable Serv
ice" Refused
Circuit Judge Eakin Thursday took
under advisement the suit of Charles
E. Burns against the city for Feb
ruary salary as chief of police. If the
decision is in favor of Burns it will
virtually be a declaration that he is
chief of police ancT not E. L. Shaw,
also a claimant of the position.
Should the decision be against Burns
he probably will institute other legal
proceedings and .continue his fight for
the place. Cross & Hammond repre
sented the plaintiff and J. E. Hedges
the defendant. City Recorder Stipp
City Treasurer Latourete, and Burns
testified, after which the lawyers for
the defendant filed a brief and Judge
Eakin annuonced that he would take
the case under advisement. The law
yers for the plaintiff asked six days
in which to file a brief.
A contention of the lawyers for the
paintiff that if Burns was not declared
chief of Police, he was entitled to
salary as a police officer, was over
ruled by Judge Eakin, who announced
plaintiff was either chief or he held
no office. He said the court could
not under the circumstances fix a
reasonable value for his services if
he were not legally the chief of po
lice. The judge is expected to rend
er a decision in a few days.

Take Vacation
Marshall J. Lazelle, for two years
manager of. advertising and secretary
of the promotion department of the
Commercial Club has resigned. His
resignation will take effect June 1,
but he has agreed to assist his suc
cessor in becoming acquainted with
the work. A successor has been
named," but the department will not
reveal his identity for several days.
Mr. Lazelle, although a young man,
has done a fine work in Oregon City.
The promotion work under his ad
ministration has been "of the highest
order, and he demonstrated that he
had even more ability than many men
serving in similar capacities in other
cities in Oregon who were paid high
er salaries. He was a faithful, con
scientious and intelligent worker for
the upbuilding of the city and county,
and the members of the publicity de
partment were loath to accept his re
signation. Mr. Lazelle after being
graduated from the Oregon Agricult
ural uoilege engagea in rarming, out
was soon called to this city to be
come the manager and advertising
agent of the promotion department.
He also served as manager of the
county fair for two years, and the
fair was never more prosperous. In
fact the association cleared $1,000
each year while he was in charge.
Mr. Lazelle had charge of two boost
er days and two horse - shows given
in Oregon City and both of them were
big successes. He originated and man
aged the first poultry show in this
LUUI1LJ , nuivn nao iiciu iaab x'cuLuaxj
and which gave an impetus to the
poultry industry in this county. He
later organized the Clackamas Coun
ty Poultry Association, which will
have an annual exhibition. He start
ed "Oregon City Publicity," the Com
mercial Club paper, and has been its
editor since its inception. The pap
er is a credit to Mr. Lazelle and the
county. In addition to his other work
Mr. Lazelle is the secretary of the
Clackamas County Horticultural So
ciety. Upon severing his connection with
the Publicity Department Mr. Lazelle
will spend the remainder of the sum
mer on a farm at Twilight, and in the
Fall will assume, the active manage
ment of a large business concern in
Oregon City.
