West, Emulating Bull Moose, Tells Of
ficials In Multnomah County
That He Will Do
Their Work
PORTLAND, Aug. 23, (Special.)
"I'm prepared to go down the line on
the enforcement of the law in Port
land and I am here today to ask your
co-operation. If 1 don't get that, I
will go it alone, and from now on I
will be on the job every minute as
long as I am in office. I will clean
up Portland if it takes me until Jan
uary 9, 1915."
With this declaration, Governor
West announced his crusade against
vice in Portland, at a meeting today
with the Mayor, Chief of Police, Dis
trict Attorney and members of the
Municipal Association and Vice Com
mission ati the office of the Mayor.
Sheriff Stevens did not attend the
meeting, sending word that he was
too busy.
During the whole session the air
was charged with tension. Governor
West sweepingly declared that none
of the city or county authorities had
been doing their duty, accused Dis
trict Attorney Cameron of having
"double-crossed" him, and laid down a
definite declaration that he will ap
point special deputies to prosecute
vice cases and that the work will be
gin Monday.
"I'll put names of the special prose
cutors, who will represent my office
and will be deputies in Mr. Cameron's
office, in; his hand. That will give
time to get ready for work by the
following Monday. This matter has
been pending so long that the people
want action at once."
Governor West declared that,
knowing that the evils set forth in the
report of the Vice Commission do ex
ist, the police officials, the District
Attorney and the municipal authori
ties have not made the proper effort
to suppress them.
"Now I'm going to demand that the
apprehension of these criminals be
left largely to agents appointed by
me. I shall place special deputies in
the office of the Sheriff and if the
Sheriff does not show a disposition to
co-operate with me in this work, I'll
feel called upon to put him under ar
rest and to commence suit against
him on his bond."
"There has come a time right now'
when every man of you has got to
choose his companions. Either you
line up with the decent element; with
the mothers, wives and sisters, or you
line up with the pimps and macpuer
eaux and the women of the streets. I
know well enough where I stand, and
I expect to' know today whether the
officers of this city stand with me.
"Future prosecutions in these cases
shall be in the hands of agents ap
pointed by me and such cases as are
now in the hands of the District At
torney shall, if I ask it, be turned over
to them. If the District Attorney re
fuses this I shall have him arrested.

ARCHBOLD ASSERTS ROOSEVELT
WAS BENEFICIARY OF OIL
TRUST FUND
T. R. WANTED MORE SAYS WITNESS
Standard OR Head Declares At Sen
ate Probe That Ex-President
Sent Officers To
Grave
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. That
Theodore Roosevelt attempted politi
cal extortion on the Standard Oil
company during his second adminstra
tion because the trust failed to follow
up an alleged $125,000 contribution
with a second and larger contribution
to the presidential campaign of 1904,
was the substance of testimony giv
en the senate campaign contributions
committee here today by John D.
Archbold, president of the Standard
Oil company.
Archobld's denunciation of the for
mer president was extremely bitter,
the witne openingly asserting that
the attacks waged on the Standard
Oil company by Roosevelt, which he
stated were unwarranted, directly re
sulted in the deaths of Henry H. Rog
ers and Henry Tilford, two of the com
pany's directors.
Archbold freely admitted that his
company had contributed $125,000 to
the Republican national campaign in
1904 but he stamped as a willful and
malicious forgery letters published in
certain magazines and newspapers
purported to have passed between him
self and Senator Boies Penrose, and in
which it was intimated that $25,000
was paid Penrose to secure favorable
Standard Oil legislation.
Archbold testified that he had ev
ery reason to believe that Roostvelt
knew and approved of the contribu
tions made by the Standard Oil com
pany in 1904. Cornelius N. Bliss,
treasurer of the Republican national
committtt in 1904, Archbold, declared,
told him that Roosevelt had been told
of the contribution and would be
pleased with a second and larger con
tribution. Archbold said he regarded
Bliss as an entirely reliable and truth
ful man.
Later, Archbold, said, when Stand
ard Oil directors refused to further
loosen their purse strings, Bliss again,
called at his' New York office and ad
vised him that it would be for the
good of the Standard Oil company to
make another and larger contribution.
Archbold said that $150,000 was the
amount suggested. This, he said, was
taken up with Standard Oil directors,
and the request voted down. Then
Archbold alleged that immediately aft
er Roosevelt's eelction he started his
attacks on the Sandard Oil company.
Archbold's jaw set hard when he
reached that stage of his testimony.
"There is nothing like it," he snap
ped, "in the annals ofAmerican his-
tnrv. Nothing Tins ovpr nnrnri-ol in
I even Darkest Africa to compare with
it. YVe have all the available data
concerning these attacks, and some
day the inside facts will be given to
the world."
An effort to prove his conteniton
that the Standard Oil attacks inaugu
rated by Roosevelt were unjust. Arch
bold cited the case of the Vacuum
company of Buffalo, a Standard Oil
subsidiary:
The federal district attorney at Buf
falo, he said, notified the department
of justice at Washington that there
was no merit in the case and that it
was doubtful if a conviction could be
secured. Archbold alleged that this
word was then flashed back to the
government's Buffalo representative:
"Damn the merit; go ahead and get
a conviction."
Archbold then told the committee
how he and Henry H. Rogers, now
dead, had paid a visit at the White
House to Colonel Roosevelt. WThile
Roosevelt, he said, made no direct ref
erence to the 1904 contribution he was
extremely polite and affable.
"There has been some criticism,"
he alleged Roosevelt told them, "but
that is always to be expected."

The work of repairing the school
buildings is progressing rapidly, and
Superintendent Tooze announced Fri
day that it would be finished long be
fore the opening of the fall term. A
new foundation is being built for the
Barclay school building, and the old
gymnasium will be converted into two
class rooms. The plan to move
the structure to the north of the
school has been abandoned for the
present year. Mr. Tooze said Friday
that the grading of the high .school
campus was progressing satisfactorily
and that it was about ready for the
planting of seed. The campus will be

CRACK OREGON CITY TEAM EX
PECTS TO GARNER TROPHY
AT STATE FAIR
RING GIVEN BY CONSUL COMMANDER
Three Applicants For Membership
Are Initiated Lodge Has Re
markable Growth Phil
lips Heads Team
The Woodmen of the World met in
their lodge room Friday evening ' in
regular session and voted to attend
the State Fair at Salem Tuesday, Sep
tember 3, 1912 in a body. The local
team of the woodmen will compete
with other teams in Salem on that
day for one of the three prizes that
will be given for the best drilled team.
Captain M. D. Phillips, who has com
mand of the local team is working
hard to get his men in shape so that
Oregon City will carry off one of the
prizes.
During the evening neighbor L. E.
Blanchard, the member of the team
who won the prize of a seal ring of
fered by Consul Commander Ham
mond in behalf of Head Consul I. I.
Boak, was presented with the ring by
the' Consul Commander. The ring
was so large that he was accused of
trying to get a bracelet under the
guise of a ring but when it was placed
on his finger it fit in proper shape.
The lodge initiated three new mem
bers and took in applications for six
more who will be initiated as soon as
possible. The steady growth . of this
lodge is only one of the many indica
tions pointing plainly to the fact that
Oregon City is growing and being fill
ed with ablebodied young men.
Clackamas County is going to carry
off one of the big prizes for the best
exhibits at the fair and the Woodmen
through its drill team are going to add
to the honor of the county and city
by carrying off one of the prizes in
the drill contest. All Woodmen and
-their families who can possibly go to
Salem on September 3 are requested
to notify E. H. Cooper on or before
August 30 so that he can reserve
seats for them on the special train
that will go through here at 8:30 A.
M. The fare will be one and one-third
for the round trip. Numerous friends
of the local camp can also be accomo
dated if they so desire.

per In Rough State
From East .
The Eaton Crane Hurlburt Com
pany, of Pittsfield, Mass., manufactur
ers of writing paper, envelopes, tab
lets, etc., may locate a finishing plant
in this city. It is planned to spend at
least $100,000 on the plant and there
will be about 200 employes.
B. T. McBain, President of the Com
mercial Club said Friday evening that
the officers of the organization had
learned the company expected to
erect a finishing plant in an inland
city in the west. Denver, Colo., has
been trying to get the plant, but the
company, it has been learned, is not
favorably disposed to hat city. It
wishes to locate further west, its ob
ject being to make the plant a distributing-
point for the Pacific Coast,
Mr. McBain has written the officers
of the company regarding the advant
ages of Oregon City, and inasmuch as
they are superior to those offered by
other cities in the west, it is believ
ed they will be effective.
The company plans to ship paper
in a rough state to the proposed
plant and then apply the finishing pro
cess. Much money could be saved by
adopting this plan for the freight rate
on unfinished paper is much smaller
than on the finished article.
Mr. McBain, in his letters to the
management of the company, ex
plained that the city was in a fair way
of obtaining terminal rates, and also
called attention to the proposed im
provement of the Willamette River.
