Friend of Editor Takes Speaker to j Judging to be first Day of Show in

Controversy on "Out
' side"
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 Senator
Bailey, of Texas, long one of the pic
turesque figures and striking speak
ers of the United States Senate, de
livered today before crowded floors
of the galleries his final speech as a
member of that body.
Within a day or two his resigna
tion will be laid before the Senate
and communicated to Governor Col
quitt, of Texas, his expectation be
ing that R. M. Johnston, of Houston,
will be named to fill out his term,
which will end March 4.
Senator Bailey's speech was an at
tack on the initiative and referendum
as institutions that would, if adopt
ed, bring about the overthrow of the
present system of American govern
ment. He said -they originated in the
desire of politicians to escape the re
sponsibility of action on such petty
questions as the location of state cap
itals and the settlement of pro
hibition fights.
An attack upon William R. Hearst
in the course of his speech, in which
he characterized Mr. Hearst as a
"miserable, dog," who had "hounded
him", brought Senator Ashurst, of
Arizona, to his feet. He attempted
to answer this phrase of Mr. Bailey's
attack upon radical newspapers and
magazines but was stopped by the
Texas senator with the remark that
he "could make that reply outside."

Circuit Judge Campbell Thursday
isued an order citing M. D. Latour
ette, city treasurer, to appear in court
Jamlary 6 and show cause why an
injunction should not be issued
against the treasurer paying E. L.
Shaw his salary for the past
eigth months. Grant B. Dimick
former mayor, through B. N.
Hicks has asked for an injunction
against the treasurer paying the war
wants. Judge Dimick as mayor ap
pointed Charles E. Burns chief of po
lice but Shaw continued to serve in
that ca'pacity and the council' being
friendly to him created the office of
jailer and named him for the office so
that he might collect his salary. Judge
Dimick has intimated that he will
fight to hold the salary of the chief
of nolice to $60 which he says is pro
vided by the city charter.
Arrangements are all completed for
opening of the big Poultry Show this
morning promptly at 9 o'clock. All
day long Thursday drays and other
venicles were unloading coops of high
class birds at the Armory Hall on
Fourth and Main Streets, and now the
long rows of coops present a pleas
ing appearance to poultry lovers and
otuers as well for any person, of even
small experience can readily detect
from the appearance of these feather
ed "aristocrats" that they have a ped
igree of no small length.
M. j. ; Lazelle, manager, Thursday
stated that the entries tnis year would
by far exceed tuose of the previous
show and include some very valuable
birds that have won enougn blue rib
bons to make a good sized quiit. He
also believes that the Oregon City
Show will continue to increase in size
until it will" be second only to the
Portland show in the Northwest, as
to number of entries.

the Portland Poultry Show, will judge

The smoker arranged by W. R.
Logus and his committee consisting
of C. TJ. Wilson and G. (?. Fields, at
the Elks Club, on the evening of Jan
uary 1, 1913. was one of the finest en
tertainments ever held in this city.
The following program was carried
out:
The Canemah Quartette, consisting
of Messrs. Wren, Confer, Longhand
Smith, rendered several pleasing se
lections and their effots were appre
ciated as shown by the number of
enchores.
At different times during the even
ing wireless messages were received
and read by W. R. Logus, stage man
ager, and the hits contained in them
were very appropriate.
Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Mersereau and
boy Jimmie entertained their audience
in a very pleasing manner with songs
and jokes which were greatly "appre
ted by all and it was with reluctance
tha they were allowed to conclude
their act
Brother Claire Evans entertained
the brothers with reading and cer
tainly shows great talent along this
line.
The Hawaiian Orchestra from ths
Star Theatre rendered several pleas
ing selections.
After the program the Brothers all
retired to the banquet hall where a
bounteous leed had been prepared,
consisting of clam chowder, clams on
half shell, roast turkey, roast chicken,
roast duck, cranberry sauce, sand
wiches of various and all kinds ana
many other countless delicacies too
numerous to be named. At 11 o'clock
a toast was given by Henry O Maliey,
Exalted Ruler of the lodge, followed
by the song "Auld Lang Syne" accom
panied by the whole lodge. The bal
ance of the evening was spent " in
games and songs by the various
brothers until the closing hour when
all fieparted to their various homeb
with nothing but praise for the com
mittee who had entertained them in
such royal Elk fashion.
.';An altercation took place between
stage manager Logus and one of his
assistants, Brother Otto Miller, which!
finally led up to a two round bout dur
ing which the lights faded, out owing
to the poor service of the P. R., L. &
P. Co. His adversary taking advan
tage of the sjiorj spell of darkness,
slipped the cut on Logus and he was
found beating a dummy into insensi
bility when the sun gain gave forth
its ray 8. The mangled form being
distributed among the audience as re
membrnces of the occasiop. Brother
Millner, of Salt Lake City Lodge, dem
onstrated his ability at slight of band
performing and among the clever
stunts was the relieving of Sheriff
Mass of his watch to. the embarrass
ment of this noted and clever solon.
During the evening's entertainment
Hon. W. R. Logus presented to the
lodge one of the finest specimens of
a mounted Elk's head that is to be
found anywhere in the Northwest and
is a gift which every brother of No.
1189 sincerely appreciates and it will
long serve to call to the minds of the
Elks of Oregon City the generosity of
one of its devoted members.

demonstrated and the fire was ex
tinguished with no damage to stock
and but small damage to the building.
Had the hose been used with the

have been a total loss. Your personal

much appreciated.'
