PLEADED FOR SEAMEN'S INSTITUTE.
Re. H "W. L. O'Rorke, of the Seamen's
LisLtute, of Saa Francisco, filled lie pul
f.t jesteraay morning at the Trinity
i-.tt&pal Church. He spoke upon "Chrls
t an Responsibility and Christian Self-S-

a.e j our own soul in trying to save other-
Tou have to bear one another's bur-c.--
though every man must also bear
t.- wn burden. The living power of a
cr :r h is shown In its missionary spirit.
If that be absent, the church Is dead.
Here in Portland this spirit Is shown in
nany agenoies, educational and philan
trjir. The Seamen's Institute welcomes
the sailor who oomes as a stranger, and
vrat hes over the boys who are far from
tt" r homes. It has found many friends
.n-.:r,gst the business men, who subscribe
to .ts funds, and many workers, both
rr. n and women, who assist in its enteric-ments
and services. In thus doing, you
crc 'bringing your brother with you,' and
t-3 u will be the reward of seeing your
CJ fare to face, and hearing his 'Well

"Winter Coontrt Schools. Of the 5G

V.ii-fr school. Each district Is, In some
measure, a law unto itself as regards the

ROBBED DOCTOR HAY.

Sacrilegious thieves, masquerading as
w..iJvW -cleaners, have stolen $200 in gold

at Flanders and Front streets.

v. i! etablisnmiMit Jn the preeent
r e , IS months ago, and on January
-1. - relinquished his trust to the new
j-.i u. indent and chaplain, Rev. C.
v ' i Bruce. On that occasion, there

i'n lie eveic f February 4. when
t-u manors had lft the mission and ev
c" ung was quiet. Dr. Hay and WlHlam
L .-were upstairs preparing to retire
f r the night, wan Barr suddenly recol--i
fd thu he required some money early
tne following morning, possibly before
I'- Hay would be around, and told him
"The rooftoy is downstairs in the safe.
but III get it for you." answered Dr.
'xia-r wr.o u may be remarked, at that
r articular moment was oi. i
It was a cold night, and the doctor gave
a slight shiver as he weal on his noc
urai errand. He took a money bag
f-om the safe, containing a little over
?-fW and afterward gave 55 to Barr In
stead of again locking the money in the
big safe, the doctor placed It In a desk
n his room ?nd meked the desk secure
:i On the r.ext day. bslh Dr. Hay arid
Rev Mr. Bruce nau occasion to go out of
fwn on itrpo-tant baslsass, and in the
hurry ot drar.ure. Dr. Hay forgot about
the $200 locked up In ;he desk in "his
room. ' It was a quiet afternoon along
the river, and the entire mission force
even Mol Wan. the. Chinese, janlteu .shut
up shop tot a 6hort rest. -about $ o'clock,
and the mission was left ;o its own devices-
Now, some guileless mission official had
decorated the street door of the mission
with a .notice, reading as follows: "Away
on business. Please call In the evening-"
Two men of the Weary Willie order
chanced to pass t)u? way shortly after
ward, and what they said to one an
other after reading the notice Is not re
corded. Probably they were of the opin
ion that they were up against a good
thing. Anyway1, the- two wanderers were
observed to walk along a narrow ledge
of wood which projects from the north
end of the mission building and leads to
the office window. The footing Is Inse
cure, and one stumble might precipitate
one Into a little gulch about 12 feet below.
The sun -was shining, and the two wan
derers were working in full view of cargo-handlers
in the warehouse opposite.
But the taller of the two tramps was
equal to- the occasion. He took a tattered
handkerchief from his pocket, and said,
with a touch of genius: "I'll clean the
window with this," His companion nod
ded, and two minutes later, when the
strangers pulled np the window and went
Into ,the room, the people In the neigh
borhood who witnessed the occurrence
thought that the strangers had been sent
to clean the windows of the mission.
The big safe was first examined by the
thieves, but they evidently did not care
to tackle the job. With unerring In
stinct, they visited Dr. Hay's room, got
the $200 in gold from his desk, and opened
and searched Barr's trunk, but got noth
ing of value. While in Barr's room, they
had three billiard balls which they had
stolen from a room downstairs, and, seiz
ing: a copy of The Sunday Oregonlan,
they wrapped the billiard balls In It and
placed the parcel In Barr's bed to rest.
The thieves departed the same way they
came, without leaving their cards.
The robbery was not discovered until
last Wednesday, when Dr. Hay had oc
casion to open his desk. He ran to the
safe, and found that some one had been
tampering with the combination, but the
contents were safe. Dr. Hay was nat
urally grieved over his loss, and tried to
keep the fact as quiet as possible. On
his departure last Saturday night for
New York City, particulars of the rob
bery leaked out. The police are working
on the case, and arc being assisted In
their search by nearly all the sailors In
port.
'
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
Bis: Crowd Glnd It "Waited for
"Shooting the Chutes."
It looked for a little while last night
as It the 300 or more people who were
unable to find seats In Cordray's Theater
were more fortunate than those Inside, for
the Southern Pacific traln-dlspatcher at
7 o'clock notified Manager Cordray that
the Murray & Mack company, billed to
appear In "Shooting the Chutes," had
been delayed by a landslide, and might
not arrive till 9. Mr. Cordray, however,
did not Intend that the crowd which filled
every seat In his theater should be dis
appointed, and in 15 minutes after receiv
ing the dispatch he appeared before the
curtain and announced that, while the
company was necessarily delayed, he had
secured a number of specialty people to
furnish entertainment until it arrived.
Just where or how he got the clever en
tertainers that made enjoyable the three
quarters of an hour that elapsed before
the curtain finally rose on the "main
show" no one seemed to know, but it is
certain that the vaudeville bill he put up
was decidedly acceptable, and that the
audience had their money's worth before
"Shooting the Chutes" was ready for pre
sentation. Murray & Mack have been seen In
Portland before. In "Finnlgan's Ball," but
the present vehicle they have selected for
their eccentricities Is beyond question an
improvement on that amusing hodge
podge of nonsense. There Js no plot to the
skit to amount to anything, but it gives
the two Irish character comedians who
are the chief attractions an opportunity
for the rollicking comedy which Is their
specialty, and there are numerous oppor
tunities for a more than average com
pany to sing, dance and do other things
in a fashion that was decidedly pleasing
to the audience. The piece was a hit
from the start, and it received the most
flattering reception of any comedy pre
sented at the theater this season. It is
handsomely staged, the girls are unusual
ly numerous and good-looking, and are
costumed with excellent taste, and the
action is so rapid that It Is sometimes
bewildering. A number of new songs, and
a few comedy sketches and Jokes that
have not been heard in Portland before,
give It an added attractiveness. Beside
the stars, who have the center of the
stage most of the time, there is little
Kittle Beck, with her queer little voice
and juvenile capers; Albert Maher, who
assists In some of the tinging numbers,
George S. Betts, In an English character
part; Katherlne Roberts, as a German do
mestic, and a number ot other good en
tertainers as principals, as well as a
chorus of a dozen girls of a recent vint
age. Among the musical numbers which were
best put on were "The Bathing Girls
Chorus," "The. Drum and Bugle Call,"
"Drowsy Babe." by Miss Beck and chorus,
and "My Lady Love." by Winnie Jolly.
In the specialty bill which Manager
Cordray provided, the Prince family, and
the Ellsworth children more than de
lighted the house, and were warmly ap
plauded. "Shooting the Chutes" will be the at
traction all the week.

DIRECT PRIMARY BILLS'
RESUME,. OF PROPOSALS BEFORE
THE LEGISLATURE.
Mr. Binghnra Betrays a Pardonable
Preference for the Measure He
Himself DrevF Up.
PORTLAND, Feb. 10.-(To the Editor.)
There are about 10 bills pending in the
Oregon Legislature concerning elections.
Two of thera. Morgan's bill Introduced
as Senate bill No. 63, and House bill No.
1SS, and Bingham's bill, introduced as
Senate bill 194 and House bill SOT, may
be called direct primary election bills.
Three bills known as Lockwood's Sen
ate bill No. 74 and House bill No. 175,
and Senate bill No. 191 (unknown author),
and Representative Dresser's bill. House
bill No. 170. are mere amendments or
NEW PRESIDENT STATE
DR. J. R. CARDWELL, OF PORTLAND.
substitutes for tho primary law of 1S91.
The other bills aim to amend sections
of the general election law, for better or
worse.
The Morgan bill makes 45 printed pages.
Its main features are the same as the
Minnesota law. By section 5 it Is de
clared: "The name of a candidate of
any political party, as defined in this act,
shall not be printed on the ballots to be
used at the ensuing elections unless such
candidate be selected at the primary
election, and according to the methods
provided for in this act. " There
fore, It is intended to be the exclusive
and compulsory method for making party
nominations for public office, and party
committeemen, etc.k and sections 7 and
, after the first primary election held
under the act, it is made a misdemeanor
for any person to promote or attempt
to conduct a political party otherwise
than under the act, punishable by fine
af from $100 to $500 and Imprisonment
from three to six months.
Section 38 prescribes the form of bal
lot. It Is to be "so printed that one
column on the ballot shall be devoted
to the primary election ticket of each po
litical party, in which single column shall
be printed the names of candidates for
nomination for party offices, for dele
gates and for recommendations, and the
propositions to be voted on by members
of that party to which such single col
umn Is assigned." A fraction of a sam
ple ballot is attached to section 53. Names
and propositions are to be printed there
on (section 3S) "on petition of individual
electors of the respective parties, signed
by electors, members of the party, and
sworn to In the petition, in number equal
to at leasjt ten (10) per cent of the vote
polled at the last general election by the
party. " Or if a new party then
by one (1) per cent of the total vote cast
at the preceding general electron In the
electoral district for which such petition
Is oresented.
The primary election is to be' held
(section 4), on the first Monday in April,
1202, and biennially thereafter; that Is,
two months preceding each general June
election.
Sections 61, C2, regulate the manner of
voting. After receiving the official bal
lot, "the elector shall forthwith
retire alone to one of the compartments
or places provided and there mark op
posite tho name of the candidate of his
choice for each nomination, party office
or honor, or recommendation. Sections
2S, 33 and 34 regulate the effect of the
ballot or how it bhall be counted.
Section 33. Each elector shall have the
right to vote for names of candidates and
for or against propositions printed on the
ballot as part of the ticket of the party
with which he affiliates, or for names
written in the blanks in such ticket, and
otherwise.
Section 34. "If, in making the canvass
as aforesaid, the Judges shall find that
an elector has 'Voted for names or prono.
sitions in more than one ticket, they shall
determine in which ticket he has cast
the greatest number of votes, and the
ballot shall be counted for that ticket
only. "
Here Is one of the main features of
the act under which the Supreme Court
of California held the late California pri
mary law unconstitutional. In the case of
Brlttan vs. Board Commissioners, 61 Pac.
1115.
In the California law, as in this Act.
It was the exclusive and only way in
which the political parties could act. and
at the polls one blanket ballot for all
the parties was given to the voter, and
it was left to the option of the voter
with which party he would affiliate or
vote. He could consequently vote with
and nominate the candidates of a party
to which. n fact, he did not belong. This
was held by the cqurt to be an unwar
rantable Invasion of the rights of polit
ical parties and therefore unconstitu
tional In a former decision In Splsr v. Baker.
52 Pac. 600, the court held a previous
primary law unconstitutional because it"
prescribed a "party test" or qualifica
tion not known to the constitution
In a communication from Mr Morgan
printed In Th Oregonlan. December 10,
1900. page 9. replying to substantially the
same criticism as above, Mr. Morgan
said.
"The law points raised by Mr Bing
ham are supported by nothing beyond
the divided opinion of the Supreme Court
of California.
The decision to which he refers Is one of
three m that state overthrowing pri
mary election laws, and Is dissented from
by the two Judges who wrote the opin
ions in the other two cases. The rea
soning in this case is puerile, as shown
by one of the dissenting Judges.
In my Judgment the Supreme Court of
California was right in Us conclusions
In each of the , three cases, and I do
not think it advisable to follow the lead
of "a "bright newspaper writer in Minne
apolis. Mr. Iay who claims to be the
originator or the Minnesota law, in the
face cf the c"ects;ons of so eminent a
court as the Supreme Coart of California.
When, the Minnesota 'law reaches the Su
preme Court no doubt it will be asked
to follow the precedent In the California
court, and here likewise I do not think
our Supreme Court would be convinced
by the mere assertion that the reason
ing, of the California court "is puerile."
It is held Jn the California decisions the
Legislature cannot regulate primary elec
tions or restrict the freedom of voters
at primary elections any further than
it could at the general elections That
the primary elections are a part of our
system of filling public office and the
constitutional safeguards surround the
one as much as the other No one would
for a moment contend that such provis
ions as those I have set forth above,
as contained in Morgan's bill, could be
prescribed for the general election. In
all probability his bill would therefore
be declared unconstitutional, if enacted,
and before an election could be held un
der it.
Morgan's bill, and the proposed Wincon
sin bill noticed editorially In The Ore
gonlan three days ago, practically forbid
political action In other ways than by the
method prescribed In the aQt That Is,
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
the act desires to abolish convention? of
delegates and the like. In my judgment
it would be as easy to establish a- state
religion or church, and make it a. mls
domeanor for Individuals to organize or
ministers to preach in apy but the es
tablished church. In other words the
Legislature can no more abolish free
Corn of political action than It can free
dom of religious worship.
Article 1, section 2, of the Constitu
tion, declares: "All men shall be secured
in their natural right to worship Almighty
God according to the dictates of their
own consciences."
Article 2, section 1, declarest "All elec
tions shall be free and equal."
Article 4, section 23, declares: "The
Legislative Assembly shall not pass spe
cial or local laws In any of the follow
ing enumerated cases, that Is to say,
"(13) Providing for opening and conduct
ing the elections of state, county, or
township officers, and designating the
places of voting"
Representative Dresser, of Clackamas,
has Introduced a bill. House bill No. 17,0,
applicable enly to cities of 2500 Inhabit
ants or more.
The Supreme Court of California in
Marsh vs. Hanley. 43 Pacific. 975, held:
"The statute of 1S93 regulating the hold
ing of primary elections, which Is made
applicable only to counties which cast a
certain number of votes at the last elec
tion, which makes It applicable to only
two counties (San Francisco and Los An
geles Counties), Is unconstitutional as
special legislation."
Lockwood's bill, Senate bill 74. Is to res
ulate the nomination of all political party
candidates for public offices to be voted
for within a single county, " It
leaves all the higher offices to be nom
inated by conventions of delegates. But
for the county offices section 6 provides:
"The county central committee of each
party shall ave the power and It is
hereby made their duty to elect, at least
30 days preceding primary day, whether
the nominations of Ihelr party for public
offices to be voted for wholly within a
single county, f.hall be made by direct
vote of the party electors at the primary
election or by delegates to be elected to
a convention, provided, however, that In
the event of a petition signed by at least
one-half cf the number of votes cast at
that party's last primary election asking
for the adoption of one of these meth
ods, then jiich method shall be called
for by said committee."
This petition must be signed and pre
sented to the committee at least 100 day3
before the June election.
The Lockwood and Dresser bills, and an
other, Senate bill 191. by an un
known author, are In fact mere amend
ments or re-enactments In another form
of the primary law of 1S91. which was
applicable "In cities of 2500 inhabitants or
more," and are not direct primary elec
tion bills at all.
Another bill of unknown authorship.
Senate bill ISO. alms to amend 16' sec
tions of tho Australian ballot law. The
first section creates a Board of Election
Commissioner? for each county, which
board is 'o appoint all the judges and
clerks of eleo.'on In the county and can
vass and certify all the election returns
and Issue certificates of election. The
kernel Is found in the provision that "the
County Jrdge hall appoint two capable
and aiscreet citizens, who, with him
self. sru.Il be known as the Board of
Election Comm.tsloners for that county."
This mu!" have been suggested by a Ken
tucky 'mrr-igrfuit, It savors so much of
G-oebelism.
Tne Senate and House committees will
probably hold a joint session next Tues
day evening to consider all these bills.

TO FLOAT THE LIGHTSHIP
VESSEL WILL BE MOVED OJS.LAXD
TO BAKER'S BAY.'
Portland Man Starting on the Work
of Hauling; Her Three-Quarters
of a Mile.
Andrew Allen, a Portland housemGyer,
who has the contract to launch lightship
No, 50 In deep water, will leave tomor
row for Ilwaco. near where the vessel is
stranded. A birgeload of heavy timbers,
.jackscrews and chains left the city Sat
urday for the scene, and another load
will be taken down Thursday.
Mr. Allen's plan of rescuing the strand
ed vessel Is to rais eher out of the sand
with the aid of jackscrews, after a stout
cradle haa been built under the hull, to
keep her in position. Then she will be
moved bodily across a sand spit for
three-quarters of a mile, where ways
Will be built, and she will be slid Into
deep water again.
The vessel weighs about 600 tons, and
elx capstans, run by horse-power, will be
used In moving the hull over the stout
plank tracks, of which there will be two,
each eight feet wide. Six Oregon fir tim
bers, 12x24, 25 feet long, will be run un
der the hull crosswise. These timbers
will support he cradle, which is to run
on rollers over the plank Ways. A cap
stan on board the lightship will be used
as an auxiliary to those on the land, as
the machinery of the vessel Is said to
be little damaged, Mr, Allen has $5 days
to do the work, and will be fined $100 a
day after thit period has expired, should
the Job take longer. The Government is
to pay him $17,500.
Lightship No. E0 was driven ashore on
the ocean beach at McKenzle Head1 by a
storm in November, 1899. Several at
tempts have been made to get her off
with the aid of tugs, but the rfower was

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION,
Union County Farmers So Charge
Army Horse-Buyer.
LA GRANDE, Or., Feb. 10,-Considerabte
Indignation was aroused among the farm
ers and horsemen of Union County this
week by what was alleged to be unfair
discrimination on the part of Captain
Cheever, who purchased 43 head of horses
for cavalry aad extlllery purposes, Abou.t
a month ago It was announced by the
Portland pi ess that the United states
Quartermaster at Vancouver wished to se
cure for the Government 500 head-oj horse3
In Washington, Oregon and Idaho, and
that he desired to buy direct from the
farmers. This was the only notice that
the farmers received, and they were at
a loss to know when to submit their ani
mals, It was observed, however, that the
McDonald Bros., who had previously acted
as agents for the Government, were
were busy collecting horses, and this led
to the discovery that a selection would
be hade at Union last week. The specu
lators run, in 57 head, from which 39
were selected. The farmers discovering
the "lay of the land" submitted only 23
head, and from these only four were se
lected, these four being the property of
the man at whose stable the sale was
held. Naturally the farmers are Inclined
to believe that the selection was deter
mined largely by "pull."
House Will Give Tonight to Charters
SALEM, Or., Feb. 10. Monday evening
the House members will endeavor to get
all the charter bills out of the way by
devoting a night session for that ex
clusive purpose. It's the same old story
every session regarding those charter
bills Nearly every member has one, and
fully one-third of .the time Is lost In
consideration of them. Members are now
seeking some remedy, and a number favor
the enactment of a general law that will
take the granting of charters, or amend
ing them, out of the province of the Leg
islature. The Portland charter will hardly
reach the House until near the close of
the session, but; all others are, It Is hoped,
to be disposed of tomorrow night.
