COLONEL AT LAST
GETS DELEGATE
COMMITTEE GIVES EX-PRESIDENT
ONE" IN KENTUCKY
DISTRICT
TAFT MAKES GAIN OF SEVENTEEN
President's Four Contested Delegates
At Large From "Dark And
Bloody Ground" Are
Seated
CHICAGO, June 11. One delegate
for Colonel Roosevelt, the first award
ed him since the National committee
began the contest cases last Friday
and 17 for President Taft, were the
net results of today's session of the
Republican National committee.
In all, 101 delegates have been ac
corded the President since the com
mittee began its hearings. The one
placed today in th.e Roosevelt column
was D. C. Edwards, from the Eleventh
District of Kentucky.
The Taft forces on the committeee
refused by a vote of 33 to 19 to seat
both the Roosevelt delegates whose
places were contested, but agreed to
a split, which gave Colonel Roosevelt
and President Taft each one delegate
from the district.
ialf victory for Roosevelt came a
the end of a day in which all of the
. other contests from Kentucky had
been decided in President Taft's fa
vor. In one of these' the Roosevelt
men had acquiesced, in others they
had mustered a vote ranging from 11
to 17 against the Taft decision.
Senator Borah, the most active
Roosevelt figure in the committee,
protested against the splitting of the
Eleventh District delegation.
"There is no justification for it," he
declared. "If one is given, both should
be."
.Arthur I. Vorys, of Ohio, had made
the motion to seat the divided delega
tion. John G. Capers, Senator Borah and
Francis J. Heney led an effort to ad
opt a substitute to seat both Roose
velt men, but they could muster only
19 votes. The split delegation then
was seated unanimously.
President Taft's four contested del
egates at large from Kentucky, head
ed by Senator Bradley, were seated
with only 11 votes in the negative.
The six from the First, Second and
Tenth were given to Taft unanimous
ly; the contest against the two in
the Fourth District was withdrawn,
and five of the six from the Seventh,
Eighth and Eleventh Districts were
won against the votes-of the Roose
velt forces.
50,000 SEE AVIATOR
FLY FROM BUILDING
PORTLAND, June 11. Silas Christ
offerson, the youthful Portland bird
man, successfully piloted his biplane
from the top of the Multnomah Hotel
building to Vancouver, Wash., this
afternoon. He flew the eight miles,
crossing the Willamette and Colum
bia rivers, in 12 minutes.
Other aviators have made speedier
journeys, but it remained for the un
licensed ex-automobile racer to be the
pioneer in trusting his heavier-than-"
air machine in a start from the midst
of the business section of a great city.
A crowd of 50,000 scattered along
half a dozen streets, lining the roofs
of dozens of office buildings, and
perched precariously at every avail
able point of vantage, witnessed the
splendid start of the daring young aviator.

RUGS ORDERED BY HIM FOR HOTELS
Railroad Man Is Guest Of A. R. Jacobs
President Of Woolen Mills
Buys Navajo Blankets
For Auto
Louis W. Hill, President of the
Board of Directors of the Great North
ern Railway, spent several hours in
this city Tuesday looking through the
big woolen and paper mills. The rail
way man was. the guest of A. R. Ja
cobs, President of the Oregon City
Manufacturing Company. The party
which included William Hanley,v the
cattle man, and W. P. Kenney, Gen
eral Traffic Manager of the Great
Northern Railroad came to this city
in Mr. Jacob's automobile.
Mr. Hill was amazed aT the manufacturing-industries
here, and was so
impressed with the quality of goods
made by the Oregon City Manufact
uring Company that he obtained sev
eral Navajo blankets for his automo
bile, and placed a large order for use
in several hotels in the East in which
he is interested.. The distinguished
visitor predicted a great future for
Oregon City because of the great wat
er power and the fertility of thex sur
rounding country He thinks it will
be only a short time when all the
available water power here is put to
use, which would mean the building
of at least twice as many manufactur
ing establishments as the city now
has.
POUNDMASTER KEPT

TO
AIDE
CHICAGO. June 11. That Then.
doreRo osevelt will be nominated on
the first ballot at Chicago and that
President Taft's own managers today
admit that the president is a beaten
man is the declaration today of Gil
son Gardner. Gardner, who is close
to tne iormer president and is said
to be "on the inside" in the councils
of his friends, sizes up the Chicago
convention situation as follows:
"Colonel Roosevelt will be nominat
ed no matter what the National Re
publican Committee now in Raaalnn
does in. deciding contests. The Roose
velt managers claim they are now as
sured of enough delegates to put
through their program even though
the national committee puts through
its steam roller program.
"This Was the information urhiph
came today from the inner council of
Kooseveit s managers. Iowa's 10 del
egates, which are for Senator Cum
mins, may swine into linn nn tho flrrf
vote taken, which will be on the ques
tion or organization. It is believed
also that assurances have been re
ceived that North Dakota will nnnnu
its votes to the nomination of Elihu
Root and the steam roller program
of the national committee, Senator
Kenvon of Town, wna n viaitm- it Yu
Roosevelt headquarters yesterday, and
naa a long private talk with Senator
Dixon, the Roosevelt manager. It is
Denevea tnat Dixon received assur
ances that Iowa would help, if nec
essary, in rejecting the report of the
credentials committee when that re
port is put up to the naional conven
tion. "The Roosevelt managers have'
their teeth set, and say they will not
be defrauded of their representation
in the Chicago convention by steam
roller or any other methods. They
will fight from the drop of the hat.
If necessary Roosevelt will come to
Chicago. Probably he will come to
Chicago. This will be determined as
soon as the steam roller chauffeurs
hae got through their job."

Committee On Public Baths Reports Judge Eakin Expected To Render
That Lot Should Be Obtained
In City Charter Revision
To Be Discussed
A demand that a steel bridge to
cost $12,000 be erected across the
Clackamas River between Logan and
Barton will be investigated by the
Live Wires. That organization at its
weekly luncheon Tuesday was urged
by citizens of the Eastern section of
the county to Investigate the feasibil
ity of the proposed bridge and a com
mute was appointed to look into the
scheme.
The committee which is composed
of M. D. Latourette, C. .G. Miller, E.
E. Brodie, B. T. McBain, T. W. Sulli
van, L. Adams, Frank Busch, W. A.
Huntley, O.-D. Eby, John W. Loder,
A. A. Price, William Hammond, L. L.
Pickens, O. E. Freytag and F. A. Olm
stead, will go to Logan and Barton in
a few days to make the investigation.
A survey for a road between Logan
and Barton has been made. The res
idents of the Eastern section of the
county think if the plan for the bridge
is approved by the Live Wires the
County Court will have it built.
Rev. C. W. Robinson, of a commit
tee named to find out the cost of a
proposed free swimming pool and
baths, reported that it would be more
desirable to have -the baths and pool
in the city instead of erecting a plat
form in the river. He said the cost
of a lot, cement pool and shower
baths would be about 4,000, and the
cost of a platform "in the river about
$500. Mr. Robinson said the pool and
shower baths in the city could be
used the entire year, while the river
plan would only be available in the
summer. He also announced that the
danger to boys swimming in the riv
er would not be obviated by the. .plat
form for they would swim any place
they desired, while if a pool was es
tablished in the city, the boys would
not be tempted to go to the river.
The other members of the committee
are William Sheahan and John W.
Loder. -
H. E. Cross said if the city would
relieve him of his street improvement
assessments he would donate one of
four lots owned by him in block 157
for the pool and public baths. Mr.
Loder suggested that Mr. Cross own
ed a lot at Ninth and Jefferson streets
much more centrally located which
he might donate. Mr. Cross replied
that Mr. Loder had even a more de
sirable lot near Ninth and Jefferson
streets which he might donate.
It was decided to devote the next
evening meeting and luncheon, two
weeks hence, to a discussion of the
amendments to the city charter pro-'
viding among other things a business
form of governmnt, to be voted upon
in July.

the decision should he in my favor.'
Mr. Burns Baid that his four
month's service expired on the night
ed since then. He announced that he
had informed JMayor Dimick of his
plans.
Mayor Dimick said Tuesday night
that his appointee had simply given
up the place until the decision as to
whether or not . Burns is entitled to
his salary is made by Judge Eakin.
Meanwhile E. L. Shaw is continuing
to act aa chief of police. He has the
backing of the city council, and is
.1 . 1.- ..UimntAlir will llrt A
clared chief. The council also has ap
pointed him Keeper of the Jail at a
salary of $100 a month, . and, it- is
claimed if he cannot get -his salary
as chief he will get it as jailer.
Burns sometime ago filed suit for
Qalarv aa fh1nf fnr the latter nart of
January and the first part of Febru
ary. The case was argued before
Judge Eakin by Cross & Hammond for
the plaintiff and J. E. Hedges for the
city council. In the event Judge Eak
in decides in favor of Burns, the de
cision will be equivalent to one that
1 . .. 1 . JT . . 1 . T.
ne is cmei. ul yuu xt wa.B auuuuu-
ced sometime ago that if the decision
was against him he will file another
suit However, judging from his
statement Tuesday night, it is evident
that Burns personally will not care
to pursue the litigation further.
Several lawyers have declared that
neither Shaw nor Burns would be vic
torious as a result of the legal action.
They assert that inasmuch as Burns
is the appointee of the mayor, but
opposed by the council and Shaw is
favored by the council and opposed
by the mayor, the courts will hold
that the city is without a chief. The
charter provides that the chief must
be appointed by the mayor and the
appointment approved by the council.
