HADLEY MAY BE HIS SUCCESSOR
Missouri Governor Choice of Several
Members of Committee as Can
didate to go Before Col
lege UTICA, N. Y. Oct. 31. Arrange
ments for the funeral of Vice-President
Sherman were practically complet
ed today. The services will be held
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the
First Presbyterian Church and will
be attended by President Taft and
members of his Cabinet, Senators and
Representatives, foreign diplomats
and Government officials.
It was at first announced that the
obsequites would be held in Christ
Church,, of which Mr. Sherman was
a member but as this edifice seats on
ly about 700 persons, the plans were
changed when Rev. Ralph W. Brokaw
offered the use of the Presbyterian
Church, which has a seating capacity
of more than 3000. Rev. Louis H.
Holden, Mr. Sherman's pastor, will
conduct the funeral service, assisted
by Rev. M. W. Stryfcer, professor of
Hamilton 'College and Dr. Brokaw, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church. An
hour before the church services there
will be a private service for members
of the family at the Sherman resi
dence. The body of the Vice-President will
lie in state from 3 P. M. to 4 P. M.
tomorrow in the rotunda of the coun
ty building. '
At the close of the funeral services
the body will be taken to Forest Hill
Cemetery, where it vill be placed on
the beautiful Babcock mausoleum,
which was completed only recently
.and where Mr. Sherman's mother
F6StS,
NEW) YORK, Oct. 31. The selec
tion of a successor to Vice-President
Sherman as the Republican candidate
to go before the. electoral college in
January was the subject of informal
discussion among Republican mem
bers of the National Committee now
in New York. Governor Hadley, of
Missouri has been announced as the
choice or the committee, but no effort
has been made as yet to settle on a
candidate.
The fact that Chairman Hillies has
delayed the meeting of the National
committee until November 12 will, it
is "believed, prevent any general agree
ment ' upon the Vice-Prsidential can
didate until after the results of the
election are known.
CHURCH HALLOWE'EN
The hallowe'en social given at the
Presbyterian Church Wednesday ev
ening by the members of the Friend
ly Bible Class was largely attended,
and proved a most successful affair.
The early part of the evening was de
voted to a literary and musical pro
gram consisting of the following num
bers: Piano duet, Misses Chandler;
vocal solo, L. Alldreage; duet, Mrs.
Hugh Kennedy and Bradley Wood
ward; reading, Miss Pickthorn; solo.
Miss Lulu McGaly; recitation, Sam
my McLarty; solo, Miss Helen Ely;
solo, William McLarty; piano solo,
Mr. Miller; vocol solo, Hugh Kennedy.
Games were enjoyed as well as ghost
stories, many thrilling stories being
told by members of the class."
- The decorations of the room were
very appropriate, being of huge pump
ins, jack o'lanterns, witches and
cats. The young women members of
the class, attired in sheets and pillow
cases, acted as a reception committee,
and i was difficult for the guests to
distinguish them.
RECEIPTS OF CLERK'S
OFFICE MAKE RECORD
The receipts of the County Clerk'3
office established a new record for
October. County Clerk Mulvey an
nounced Thursday that $792.50 had
been received, the highest amount col
lected before in one month having
been $''54. The collections in October
1911 wera $584.25. The increase is
due to the larger number of uits and
licenser than in any previous months.

MILWAUKIE TO HEAR CANDIDATES
Great Mass-Meeting Will be Held at
Woodman Hall in This City
Tommorow
.Night
One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings held by the candidates for office
in this county during TEe present cam
paign was that at Gladstone Thursday
evening by the Republicans. Miller's
Hall was about two-thirds filled, and
the speakers were given the closest
attention.
E. B. Tongue, candidate for re-elec"-tion
for District Attorney, was the
principal speaker. He declared that
the county, state and national ticket
should be elected and said that the
Republicans of Clackamas County had
indicated1 they would do their duty.
Mr. Tongue is one of the most elo
quent and forceful speakers In Oregon
and he was applauded throughout his
address.
Others who spoke were E. C. Hack
ett, nominee for sheriff; J. F. Nelson,
nominee for assessor; .J!. P. Dedman,
nominee for recorder and C. Shuebel,
nominee for representative in the Leg
islature. The candidates will speak at Mil
waukie this evening and Saturday
night will have a big rally in Oregon
City. George C. Brownell and other
prominent Republieans besides the
candidates probably will speak. It is
the intention to have, the rally in
the Woodman Hall.
GLADSTONE RESIDENTS
FIND LITTLE WANDERER
Almost one third of the residents of
Gladstone participated late Thursday
afternoon in search for the three-year-old
daughter of B. E. Berray, book
binder tor the Oregon City Enterprise.
The little girl wandered from her
home at Columbia Avenue and Extra
Street, about 3:15 o'clock and was not
found for more than an hour and a
half. Mrs. Berray gave the alarm
and neighbors soon joined her in the
search. It was not long until scores
of men, women and children were
scouring the woods in tne outskirts
of the city. The child was found near
the Harrington home and had wander
ed through part of the woods. The
little girl was delighted to see her
mother, and said:
"Oh, Mamma, I am so glad to see
you. I had a fine time and I was not
the least afraid."
PIGEON SUSPECTED OF
IANS
A carrier pigeon evidently belong
ing to some branch of the United
States government has found a home
at the residence of J. E. Jack, county
assessor, Fourth and High Streets,
this city. The bird, which has a tag
bearing the initials U. S., the number
1636, and an urn with ''J" inscribed on
it appeared at the home of Mr. Jack
about a month ago, and has refused
to leave. It makes its home on the
porch in the rear of the house and is
so gentle that it eats out of Mr. Jack's
hajds.
'"I am convinced," said Mr. Jack,
who is a Democrat, "that the pigeon
either lost its way or has been sent
out by the Republican headquarters in
Portland or some other city to find out
what the Democrats think of their
prospects at the coming election."
Mr. Jack is a well informed politi
cian. However, he keeps quiet on
this subject when in the presenceTf
the wandering pigeon?

SELLING, IN CITY,
CONFIDENT HE'LL Wl
Ben Selling, Republican nominee for
United States senator, who was in
Oregon City Thursday, declared that
he expected to get momre than twice
as large a vote in this county at the gen
eral election than he did at the primary
Mr. Selling said that he was gratified
at the majority given him here in the
primary, and expected to not only
get the full party vote but the vote
of many men of other political affil
iation at the election Tuesday. He
thinks the Republicans of the county
will repudiate Jonathan Bourne, be
cause of his failure to live up to the
primary law. Mr. Selling accompanied
by William Hammond, Secretary of
the County Central Committee, met
many of the business men of the city
and was shown through one or two
of the mills.
STREET FILL DAMAGES
The filling in of Main Street be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth Streets,
by the Montague-O'Reilley Company,
which has the contract for hardsur-
facing the street from Moss to the
Abernethy, has caused one of the con
crete piers erected by Frank Busch
at his reaining wall to break. The
Busch property is much; below the
street level and the wall was erected
as part of a foundation for a building
which Mr. Busch expects to have con
structed soon. . As a result of the
breaking of the pier the filled in street
in one place encroaches upon Mr.
Busch's property. He will insist that
the condition be remedied.

BURK'S REPORT LEADS
TO STREET PROBE
The appointment of T. W. Sullivan
to maks an investigation of the clas
sification of work on Sixteenth, Jack
son and John Quincy Adams Streets,
was the result of a report made to
the city council by F. C. Burk, in
spector of streets. Mr. Sullivan re
ported that the work should have
. been, done cheaper than the propos
i ed charges of the Oregon Engineering
j & Construction Company, which has
the contract, because of a lack of ce
ment gravel and hard pan. Mr. Burk's
report was as follows:
"I hereby call your attention to the
fact, that according to the report of
the City Engineer in classifying the
earth on Sixteenth, Jackson and John
Quincy Adams Streets, where the
same is now under the course of im
provement, allowance has been made
for hard pan and cement gravel,
where in my judgment and according
to the specifications for the improve
mmenf of the said streets, no hard
pan or cement gravel ought to be al
lowed. The sub-grade where these
allowances have been made, was
plowed with four horse teams in each
case. '
The sewer 'on J. Q. Adams Street
has been very poorly placed, and the
persons laying the same are incom
petent, and evidently do not - under
stand their work.
The wall on Fifteenth and Jackson
Streets has been put in at an expense
j of $745.50 and I believe that a wall
j sufficient for the purpose could have
j been built for not over f 400.
j The sewer at Green Point according
to my opinion, is not practical, for the
j reason that the manhole has been
S placed so near the river, . that the
j same will fill up, and cause the water
; to back up and fill the sewer and
leave no outlet."

Frank St. Clair, who was recently

FREIGHT STATION IS ALSO URGED
Plan is to Have New Franchise so Con
structed as to Make Improve
ments Virtually Man
datory Residents of Oregon City are deter
mined that the Portland Railway,
Lignt & Power Company shall agree
to erecting a freight station and hav
ing a freight yard in this city before
another freight franchise is granted.
The City Council considered the new
franchise at one of its recent meet
ings, and does not intend to pass up
on it until the people have expressed
themselves. At a recent mass meet
ing 1n the council chamber, which
was attended by several councilmen,
and -at least a score of property own
ers, Frank Busch declared that the
road should be forced to provide the
station and freight yard. Mr. Busch
first made the suggestion at a meet
ing of the Live Wires about a year
ago.
"The franchise should not be grant
ed until the company agrees to the
proposition," said Mr: Busch at the
mass meeting. "Loaded and unload
ed cars should not be allowed to stand
on the streets. The city probably
cannot compel the company directly
to make the improvement, but it can
compel it to keep its freight cars off
the streets, except those in actual op
eration, which ' would force the com
pany to provide the yard and station.
"Coal, feed, lumber, wire, etc., are
shipped here in large quantities, and
much of it is allowed to stand on side
tracks at the lower end of the city.
It would be more convenient for the
company and the cars would not be
in the way and eyesores on the street
if it had a yard. The company owns
property which could be converted
into a yard. Most of the freight bus
iness done in the city is at the lower
end and the company would save
money by not having to haul its cars
to the station at Third and i Main
Streets and having the freight sent
to various parts of .the city.
"I have talked with E. G. Caufield,
and other citizens regarding the pro
ject and all of them agree with me."
THe council has given notice that
all residents of the city are invited
to be present the night the franchise
is considered and present their views.
BRIDEGROOM OF FEW .
DAYS ODDLY GONE
; George Huard, who disappeared in
Portland Saturday, and who was mar
ried' the Tuesday previously to Mrs.
Jessie Durbin, is still missing, and his
wife is alarmed about him. Mr. Huard
who nad been employed by .the Blum-auer-Frank
Drug Company as ship
ping clerk for the past two years, ap
peared at his work at the usual time
Saturday, but about 2:30 o'clock in
formed his employers that Tie wished
to go to his home at Oak Grove. He
however, did not go home. He was
seen by his father, who lives at Wood
stock, Portland, about 12 o'clock and
was seen by a friend at 3 o'clock that
afternoon in Portland.
The marriage of Mr. and Hrs. Huard
took place in this city October 22,
Mayor G. B. Dimick performing the
ceremony. . The couple went to Ever
green, thd home of Mrs. Huard's moth
er, Mrs. ClQdfelter. Mrs. Huard said
that several times since their mar
riage her husband remarked that he
feared that he was going to lose his
mind, iiis father said that his son
before marriage was suffering from
melancholia and it is posible that
he lias been seized with one of these
spells.
Mrs. Huard has searched Portland,
and deteceives have aided her without
avail. Mrs. Huard was in this city
a few days ago, and reported her hus
band's disappearance to Sheriff Mass,
who is trying to locate thej missing
man.
Mr. Huard is about 6 feet threa in
ches tall, has auburn hair, light com
plexion, is smoothly shaven, and has
two gold front teeth. He is 30 years
of age. At the time of his disappear
ance he wore a gray suitT black derby
hat, and cravenette coat. .
Mrs. Huard is prostrated over the
disappearance of her husband and a
physician is in attendance. Her con
dition was critical Wednesday. Her
friends are taking an active interest
and are assisting in the search.
Several schoolboys attending the
Oak Grove school reported Wednes
day evening of seeing a man sitting
near the river bank and weeping. The
boys not arriving at their homes un
til late in the evening a search was
not made that night for the man,
but several parties were on the look
out Thursday. When leaving for his
work on the day of his disappearance
Mr. Huard retnrned three times, to
bid his wife farewelL
Mr. Huard is well known in this
city and at Gladstone, having lived
in Gladstone about a year ago with
his parents, his mother dying at that
place shortly, before they moved to
Clackamas. Shortly before marrying
Mr. Huard lived with his sister Mrs.
J. Sweeney.
Anyone iearing ,of Huard's where
abouts may telephone to Black 753,
Oak . Grove, and the news will be
sent immediately to his wife. ,

COMPARISONS ARE BROUGHT OUT
Mr. Tongue Denounces Attempt To
Railroad Suspect And Says
Taxpayers' Money Will
Not Be Squandered
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 31. (Ed-'
itor of the Enterprise.) E T Mass
in. his campaign and in his PAID ad
vertisement nas a great deal to say
about the Hil ,murder case but is
very silent on the subject of the sev
eral other murders that have been
committed in this county during his
two years in office wherein he has
not secured the evidence to cause any
person to be indicted for a nin
of them. He says: "The district at
torney's office did . not give Elm the
help in the Hill case he required. The
fact is he took to his assistance a
high priced Portland (detective and
not only did not, except on one oc
casion, cometo me for advice, but he
absolutely refused to follow any giv
en by me. They seemed to think
they knew all about criminal law and
criminal evidence and I knew nothing,
perhaps they also thought I wanted a
it of the thousands of dollars ra
ward, but I did not, that may have
been one reason why they did not
seek the assitance of Mr. Stipp or
myself. I do not know. The readers
may draw their own conclusions.
Not only did Mass refuse to con
sider any advice from me but Mr.
Cowing who in a circular being cir
culated praising Mass and condemn
ing Mr. Stipp, the grand jury and my
selfrefused to EVEN recognize us
in the matter. On March 15th I
wrote him the following letter, to-wit:
- Mar. 15, 1912.
Messrs Cowing & Cowing
Portland, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
I had some little talk, a day or so
ago, with Detectives Carpenter and
Mitchell. They seem to be tolerably
well convinced that they can locate
and arrest the fiend who committed
the Hill murder. They told me of
some evidence they have which oc
curs to me to be pretty tolerably
strong so far as it goes. At any rate
it occurs to me that the matter should
oe sifted out. They seem to have
some hesitancy in doing any work on
the case unless some advances come
om you, as you had employed Lev
ings. For some reason- or other while
Levings claimed to have known some
of the information given to me by
Mr. Carpenter, and lr. Mitchell, Lev
ings did not intimate to the Grand
Jury-tiiat he had any such knowledge.
It occurs to me that by the attitude
heretofore assumed by Levings and
Mass, that they practically debar
themselves from proceeding against
any person other than Harvey.
I am extremely anxious that the
man that did this foul deed be appre
ended and brought to the bar of jus
and ii the suggestion for you to
talk the matter over with Carpenter
id Mitchell meets with your approv
al, I would like to have you to do so
at the earliest possible moment be
cause i uo noi Deiieve inai iney can
be induced to take up the case unless
it be with your full consent and ap
proval.
Very tfuly yours,
ni. a. rurMixUiii.
The work of these two men would
not have cost Mr. Cowing one cent.
t only that but Mr. Cowing did not
even answer the letter, but turned it
over to Levings and Mass who of
course would not allow any ona else
to work on the case. For if the other
fellow should find the murderer the
great reputation of Mass and Com
pany as criminal catchers together
with the reward would be gone for
ever. If Mr. Cowing was half as anx
ious to find and hang the man that
committed the Hill murder as he pre
tends to be, why did he not answer
this letter? Why did he not help us?
why did he not give us a chance?
He claims to have so much person
al knowledge. Yet he never came near
the Grand Jury. He did not give them
the benefit of this great amount of
personal knowledge he speaks of.
Mr. Cowing's own daughter before
the Grand Jury refused to say that
she even thought Harvey was guilty.
I am told by the county clerk that
Levings, the so-called detective, has
not as yet rendered a bill to the
County Court for his vauable (?) ser
vices. "Why has this not been done?
Is he awaiting until after election
when the amount he asks for cannot
hurt Mass' chance to be elected?
Why does not Mr. Mass be honest
and fair enough to tell the voters that
"Levings and he admitted to tlie
County Court that they did not have
evidence enough against- Harvey to
convict him?"
Does he think a campaign of mis
representation and deceit is honest
and square or does he know what that
means?
He says the Grand Jury In their re
port commended him for his work In
the Harvey case. They did In the
following language, to-wit:
"We also wish to commend Sheriff
Mass, in his efforts to apprehend the
murderer of the Hill family."
But he wants the people to infer
the Grand Jury either condenmed or
was silent on the District Attorney.
The part in the report of the Grand
Jury which he tloes not mention reads
as follows:
"On account of the many, various
and conflicting reports in the news
papers concerning the investigation
of the murder of the Hill family, we
take this opportunity to commend Dis
trict Attorney Tongue and Deputy
Stipp in their honest, careful, cautious
and unbiased method pursued in con
