The Roosevelt Progressive Party whose leaders joined with the Re publicans in yesterday's election, came into being today after the an nouncement of the election of Wil liam T. Haines for Governor, three out of four Republican Representa tives in Congress and a Republican majority in the legislature, which will choose a United States Senator. Ex Represenative Burleigh received the Republican preferential vote at the recent primaries. Revised returns today for Govern or, with only five small plantations missing, give: Haines (Rep.)70,8S0; Plaisted (Dem.) 67,848; Haine's plu rality, 8660. Complete unofficial legislative re turns show there will be 23 Repub licans to eight Democrats in the Sen ate -and 79 Republicans and 72 Dem-. ocrats in the House, giving the Repub licans 102 in joint ballot and the Dem ocrats SO. Interest today centered in the ac tion of Roosevelt Progressive leaders. The Republicans and Democrats have already nominated their Presidential electors. The Roosevelt Progressives Prohibitionists and Socialists will make their nomnations of electors by petitions. These papers began to be circulated today. Halbert P. Gardner, announcing the position of the Roosevelt Progress ives today said: "The Roosevelt Progressive Party as a party does not take credit for the result of yesterday's election, al though the progressive element in the Republican Party won the fight for Haines. It did this to carry out the agreement with he Republican lead- BASEBALL GAMES TO BE FEATURE John Cole, Grant B. Dimick, W. W. Everheart, A. D. Gribble and H. D.

SUES FOR MONEY SAID TO BE DUE FOR NEWSPAPERS McDonald Potts filed suit Tues day against Emily P. and Frank S. Bradley for 267.55. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants owed the Journal Publishing Company that sum of money for papers, and that he bought the claim. That the Sixth Annual Clackamas County Fair will be a great success is assured. All the arrangements for the big exhibition are rounding into shape under the direction of Secre tary E'oy and assistants. Entries for the horse races are being received daily and the speed program is' sure to look like an aeroplane special this year. Among the amusements will be the base ball games each day. The games will be between all Clackamas. County teams, namely Molalla, Beav er Creek and Canby. A game will be scheduled for each of the four days of the Fair and as these teams are all fast and up to the mark, it is expect ed that the series will be exciting.

From the time Theodore Roosevelt steps from the train at the Union depot tomor row the ex-president will have a busy day in Portland. He will make but one extended address, but he will flit about the city throughout the after noon, and all who desire to see his campaign face will have opportunity to do so as he goes from one place to another. The only possibility of change from the program announced, it appears, is that Colonel Roosevelt may accept an invitation of the Transportation club for luncheon at the Imperial Ho tel before going to the Multnomah hotel. The harmony plan, whereby it was thought yesterday that the Im perial luncheon would be included in the regular program, was shattered last night at a meeting of the gener al arrangements committee, when it was voted to omit the Transportation club affair unless that club could move over to the Oregon Hotel. This, the Transportation club re fuses to do, and in an effort to carry its point H. E. Yernon, chairman of the club's committee, last night wir- vices will be conducted this afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the Rev. W. T. Mil likin, pastor of the Baptist Church, officiating. The interment will be in the Mountain View cemetery. Those wishing to view the remains may do so by calling at the Whiteman home ; between 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock this morning. Dorothy Kellogg is survived by her parents and one sister, Miss Stella Kellogg, nurse at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland; four brothers, Lyle, Leslie, Roy and Ronald Kellogg, of this city. She was the granddaugh ter of Mrs. A. M. Brayton, of .Park place, formerly of this city, and also a granddaughter of Mrs. Kellogg, of Ninth and Polk Streets, Oregon City. L f - COPYRIGHT PACH. NEW YORK. Theodore Roosevelt, Bull Moose Can didate for President, Who Is Port land's Guest Today. Edwin Richards, one of the best known men in Oregon City, is in a critical condition at his home on Twelfth Street, between Main and Water, as a result of a third stroke of paralysis. Mr. Richards was sit ting on the front veranda at his home Tuesday morning when he was strick en. He had been down the day be fore and said he felt unusually well. He arose early Tuesday morn ing and took a short walk, and re turning, decided to sit on the veran da. Soon after he was seized with the third stroke Dr. Strickland was called, and found that Mr. Richards was ; in a critical condition. He was unconscious, and all efforts to restore him to consciousness proved unavail ing. Mr. Richards formerly conduct ed a fisli market in this city. His wife and several children are living. He is sixty-five years of age and Is a pioneer. ed Colonel Roosevelt at Seattle, urg ing him to overrule the committee and make a short address at the Im perial.

It is proposed to lay a. blanket of Portland's fragrant blossoms from the train to the automobiles waiting at the depot. The plan for bombard ing the Colonel originally proposed, has been put under embargo, as it is feared that indiscriminate throwing of rosea would give cover to, some crank to throw a brick or bomb. The police detail has instructions to pre vent the throwing of roses. COPYRIOHT PACH. NEW YORK. Seth -Low, President of the National Declaring that there is not a single member of the Pacific Highway Asso ciation in Clackamas County, which the highway traverses, Frank B. Riley, the association's vice-president for Oregon, at the weekly luncheon of the Live Wires of the Commercial Club Tuesday, made an earnest address to the local organization, insisting that the movement to divert the route from Willamette Valley to Eastern Oregon has gathered considerable strenghtb and that it will be necessary for the valley counties to put up a strenuous fight in order to retain the guide posts that have been placed along the roads I from British Columbia to the southern boundary of California. Mr. Riley exhibited pages of news- i paper clippings, in which interviews of prominent men were printed,' prais ing tne central Oregon roads and crit icising the thoroughfares of the val ley. He urged prompt attention of the people of Clackamas County and other sections of the Willamette Val ley, and his appeal met with prompt response, the Live Wires unanimous ly adopting the resolution of Mr. T. W. Sullivan, requesting the Commer cial Club to' enlist its entire member ship in the Pacific Highway Associa tion. This can be done at a cost of $1 for each member, and it is confi dently expected that the Promotion Department of the Commercial Club will give the matter its official sanc tion at its next meeting. Ther is a movement on foot in Ore gon City to get in touch with Salem, Albany, Eugene and other cities along the Pacific Highway, with the object of creating interest in the importance to the Willamette Valley in the reten tion of the Pacific Highway. The wonderful advertisement to the val ley by th3 publication of the route in guide books all over he United States wijl unquestionably bring thousands of motorists to this section, and the valley stands to lose advertising through the diversion of the route to eastern Oregon. The luncheon of the Live Wires was the first held since early in July, and the officers elected two months ago FAILING IN ATTEMPT TO HAVE FIGHT HE MUMBLES, "I'LL FIGHT THE ENGINE" BODY LITERALLY CUT TO PIECES Civic Association, of New York.

Parkplace Suicide Unidentified, Cor oner Wilson Will Have Remains Buried Today Several See Tragedy ' An unidentified man committed sui cide by jumping in front of a fast Southern Pacific passenger train be tween this city and Parkplace Tues day afternoon. He evidently was de rftented. Coroner Wilson, who had the body brought to this city, was un able to find any letters in the man's pockets or any thing else that wiuld lead to his identification. He was fairly well dressed, and is believed to have been about forty years of age. Glenn Hammond, of Parkplace, who witnessed the tragedy, says he is con fident the man was mentally unbal anced. Hammond, whi was coming to this city, met the stranger on the railroad track. The man cursed Ham mond and wanted to fight. Hammond argued with the maniac without avail The fellow finally caught Hammond by the arm and tried to push him off the track. Apparently well satisfied with what he had done the man start ed toward Parkplace, and at the in tersection of the county road -and the railway track he came upon Louis Himler, Clayton Pierce and Emile Schatz, who were in a wagon. He stopped them and demanded that one get out and fight him. His request was not granted and he started back along the track toward Oregon City. Soon the train came along and while Hammond, Himler, Pierce and Schatz were looking on the stranger raised both arms above his head, and mum bled, "Well, they won't fight me; I guess this will," and dived headlong into the locomotive. His body was badly mangled. Inasmiteh as there is no way of learning the man's identi ty Coroner Wilson has decided to bury the body today. The suicide wore three suits of underwear, and two suits of cloth ing. Coroner Wilson said he was certain the man had not been drink ing. Engineer Montgomery stopped the train almost immediately after it struck the madman and he and Conductor Gregory assisted in ex tracting the body from beneath the trucks of the engine, where it was wedged.
