BAD CASE OF PANIC Simon Machine Followers Are Much Rattled. DEFEAT STARES THEM IN FACE All the Eloquence of the Boss In spired Orators Cannot Gloss Over Obvious Facts Those Decoy "Independents." ' Numerous acute cases of panic de veloped among Senator Simon's friends, the office-holders, yesterday. Deprived of the hope of success by befogging the Is sue at the primaries, they were scamper ing hither and thither like ants -whose nest has been destroyed,, seeking fresh shelter. Although most of the penslon 'ers of the machine had heard rumors of the pulling down of the "fake" Independ ent tickets, few of them were prepared to believe that the County Central Commltteo had consented to such a haz ardous measure, and the announcement that this -was really the case provoked wldspread consternation. Senator Simon HOBOS! ILLEGAL VOTERS! BEWARE! The police cannot "square" it. If you attempt to vote at the primary election Saturday you "will be arrested. Sheriff Frazler says: "My deputies -will lie at the polls Instructed to ar rest all illegal voters." "Watchers and challengers will have complete informa tion concerning every man In the precinct Arrested per sons -will be prosecuted. Here is District Attorney Chamber lain's -warning: "Illegal voters -will ho prosecuted. The election must he honest." The penalty is fine and im prisonment. And the police cannot "square" it. I , himself went yesterday to the head office of the machine on the sixth floor of tho Chamber of Commerce building and re mained there for a long time, ladling out consolation to such' of the timid as de cllned to be soothed by tho velvet voice of Mr. McCamant. Tho office-holders and their dependents came early, but not early enough to avoid the rush, which -was composed of the heelers who are now be ginning to get to the point where "there must be something doing." All day long the elevators in the Chamber of Com merce building -were kept busy -with pas sengers for the sixth floor, and all day long a steady stream of uneasy people poured into the room in -which 3.r. Simon was quartered, to urge that some active measures be taken to eave the gang from defeat that now stares It In the face. Hon. "W. M. Davis continued to go out to see the boys, but he looked disconsolate and discouraged. Police detectives -were kept busy all day yesterday, registering the tenderloin boarding-house element, but even they -were not -wearing the air of rosy confidence -which has distinguished them hitherto. At tho Courthouse offi cial business -was being transacted by dep uties, while the chiefs went out to muster voters and courage. They found a short supply of both. It has developed that the county central committee had little or nothing to do with the pulling down of the manifold "Independent" primary tickets, further than consenting to the action of County Clerk Swetland. Some of the Simon men who -were on these spurious tickets, and who fear that they -will be left out In the cold, have reproached the central com mitteemen with sidetracking them, and have been told that the fault lay with Mr. Swetland. The fact Is that the weight of public opinion bore down so hard on the committeemen that they did not dare carry out their pet scheme, and r so remained passive when it was urged that nothing be done to cloud the issue. It meant the deliberate destruction of a carefully built system, but It was ap parent that the voters were In earnest this tune, and even the county central com mittee is not reckless enough to antag. cnize more people than is absolutely necessary. As an example of the methods employed by the police to register voters in the North End whom they did not dare handle with resularioofflcers, the following story will serve:" ""' Some 10 -days ago a well-known heeler went out on the streets and gathered in frequenters of dives, whom he led to tho Eagle saloon, on First and Burnsldo streets, telling them that by coming there they would confer a favor on Police Ser geant Church. Once there their names and ages were taken, and each was as signed to a roomln some North End lodging-house. After the heeler had thrown a couplo of $20 gold pieces on the bar and bought several rounds of drinks for all hands, they were loaded In three ship ments on the First-street car, taken thence to Washington, thence to Fifth and to the Courthouse, where they were duly registered by the heeler. That sort of thing has been going on in the North End for weeks, and such people may be de pended upon to come out and vote the Simon ticket at the primaries tomorrow. Arrangements having been made for a full vote of the hobos and North End dive frequenters, it Is urged that business men offset it by allowing their employes every opportunity to go to the polls to morrow. They will be open from S o'clock in the morning to 6 at night, and the noon hour, which is all the time many clerks and worklngmen have, will not give them time to go to their several polling places. There is no firm nor employer in Portland who cannot spare tho time re quired at the beginning or close of the day to cast a primary ballot, and if all of them bear this in mind and not only let their employes off, but urge -upon them the Importance of voting, a full vote will be brougnt out. It is especially desired that the people who are ordinarily neg lectful of this duty and who are prone to allow other duties to interfere with It, re member that tho hobo never forgets or neglects to vote, and that every honest citizen's ballot cancels that of some irre sponsible loafer or criminal. Go to the polls early toraorrovr and Btay there until yoK cast Tosr bal lot. 'Will Address Pomona- Grange. Mrs. M. E. Shafford has accepted the invitation of Pomona Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, to talk to the members at the meeting which will take place aiext Wed nesday in Independence Hall, on the Sec tion Line road. They desire Information as to the workings of farmers' homes, and what is the best course to take to get such a place for Portland Mrs. Shafford has studied the question and gathered in formation from various sources, and Is very enthusiastic for the project. "The How of Improvement Work," a pamphlet sent to G. M. Hyland by the American League for Civic Improvement, contains an account of the establishment and working of a farmer's home that was re cently started in Burlington, la. It was organized and . established by 30 women, and made a success through their efforts. THIS IS ENERGETIC. the TVell-KnoTi-R Cltlzea Signs His Name. Aad PORTLAND, Or., March 12.-To tho Editor.) Your remarks in this morning's Oregonlan on the election or choosing a United States Senator are timely and proper. Oregon 13 in pressing need of able men in the Senate. Shall we re-elect Joseph Simon? If so. why? What has ho done for the benefit of Oregon or of tho United States? Answer, who can. No one knows better than Mr. Simon that the United States Senate Is not his sphere. No one than himself sees so clearly the great disparity between him self and other Senators, in ability, In fluence, dignity and the character neces sary for the position. Mr. Simon has ability, but it Is not Senatorial ability. His ability is in marshaling tho boys, rallying, handling ana controllng the baser elements of political life. He is remarkably secretive and expert at work ing in -the dark. Ho has his captains, lieutenants and men, as secretive and dark as himself, and who work for him like slaves. Ho la a cunning, artful schemer of great force, and handily guides and controls those who know less than himself, and whoso conscientious scruples are no higher than his own, with wonderful success. His work is all done on the sly. He can neither work nor light in the open. I think he must have been born in the dark. What have been tho results of his work? He has given us ring or Simon politics, ring county and city officials, who hive little regard for their official duties. Their main business seems to be to col lect the salaries, set up Jobs, intrigue and plan for their re-election, boost their boss, and obey Joseph Simon. When his election was accomplished, no one knew how it was done. Not one man in 50 in Oregon will say that Jo Simon was his choice for Senator. It may be asked. Why did not tho people rise In their might and defeat him? Because he had gotten control of the good old Re publican party and governed the pri maries. Tho peoplo honored and loved their party, had no desire to rebel against or desert it, and under the old primary system could not change or get it out of his control without open desertion. It is to be hoped that under the new pri mary law the people can exercise their rights and get their choice. But Mr. Senator Simon is here having deserted his seat in the Senate, when he Is most needed there. Now he plunges Into the depths, and his old underground tricks, without doffing his Senatorial robes or dignity, and is trying with his might to make us believe that he is Oregon's favorite candidate for the United States Senate. Shades of Webster and Clay I Now I write this from no personal antipathy to Mr. Simon, but I am a citi zen of Oregon; all I have is here. I am proud of my State, and am desirous of seeing her represented In the United States Senate by one of whom I can also be proud. Whcro Is the Oregonlan who can stand up and look you In the eye and say, "I am proud of my Senator, Jo Simon"? I have held my breath, and nose, too, all this time, grinning and bearing it, but do not con sider it my duty to do so longer without a protest. When unfit people force themselves into thesmost Important posi tions, and try to flit those of which we are most proud, and which are most dear to us, and where our best interests are, we havo a right to cbndemn with tongues of fire and pens of steel. I have gnashed my teeth and suffered under this cruel misrepresentation In the United States Senate so long, and I would have con tinued to do so until tho end of his term, had he not again put in an appearance and began to lay his wires to thrust himself upon us again. This Is too much enough to make the worm itself rebel. We have had enough of Joseph Simon rlnglsm. We are tired of high taxes, bad government, misrule and bossism. 1 appeal to the people of Portland and of Oregon to cut loose the hands of greed that bind them, and free themselves of this disreputable ring. P. W. GILLETTE. Look out for the ballot-box staf fer tomorrow. Don't let Simon elect his delegates before the polls open or after they 'arc closed. FROM MAYOR OF OREGON CITY He Asserts That Laws in Support of Civic Morality Are Enforced. OREGON CITY, March 13. (To the Ed itor.) In The Oregonlan of March 13 you comment severely upon the administration of the laws with reference to gambling in Oregon City. Allow me to say that you have not been correctly Informed as to conditions In Oregon City during the past six or seven years, including Mr. Cau field's administration. I am informed by unquestionable authority that gambling was carried on during Mr. Caufield's term of office, although Mr. Caufield, as Mayor, exerted every effort to prevent it. During these years an arrest for gambling was never made, nor conviction had, and. In deed, Mr. Caufield. at the end of his first term, defeated by a large majority the open and avowed reform candidate, Dr. J. W. Powell. It is only upon proper evidence that a criminal conviction of any nature can be had, and If no -evidence is obtainable, the law cannot be enforced, and the mere fact that men are found playing cards with or dinary chips, with no money In sight, and nothing to Indicate that money is at stake. Is not prima facie evidence that they aro gambling or committing a crime, and no court or Jury, either in Clackamas or Multnomah County, or any other place, will convict them. I allude to Multnomah County especially, for the reason that a few months ago an attempt was made to convict gamblers in Portland, and after several acquittals and no convictions, the reform movement found that in order to convict, tho .city or state must "depend upon the strength of its own case and not upon the weakness of that of the adver sary." There are no gambling-houses in Oregon City; no professional gamblers; no bunco steerers; no houses of ill-fame; no com mon drunks, no robberies in fact, .no city on the Coast, regardless of size. Is more orderly or less often disturbed by disor derly conduct of Its citizens. And, fur ther, the condition of affairs in the city has not changed since the last city elec tion, when the citizens of the city In dorsed my past administration by a very largo majority over my opponent. I en deavor never to swerve from the line of right, and feel it keenly when I am wrongfully accused, as I have been In this case. During my administration none of the worthy citizens of Oregon City has bee'n knocked down upon Its streets by a po liceman's club, nor any of them hauled off to prison In a patrol wagon without Just cause, and I seriously regret to be criticised by a paper from a city where such conduct is tolerated. G. B. DIMICK, Mayor. i Good for the Babies. There is no better tnedlcino made for babies than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Sheffield and the Co-operative Investment Com pany, for an accounting. It is also asked that C. W. Miller, trustee, be restrained from further dealing with or collecting any of the assets of the Union Savings & Loan Association, and other relief of various kinds is demanded. The plaintiffs are stockholders of the Union Savings & Loan Association, and Billings, McArdle, Baldwin and C. W. (Miller are directors and officers of the same. Mrs. North owns 10 shares of stock In the company, for which she paid $1000; Scoffln invested 500. H. E. Miller 000. Scott 51500, Carter 51125, Trummer 5400, and the others $1000 or less each. The complaint recites that McArdle was until -recently the secretary of the Union Savings & Loan Association, and Billings ADVICE TO POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN. You have been required to contribute specified sums to the Simon, corruption fund, and you have been informed otherwise that the perma nence of your Jobs depends on the measure of your activity In the Simon cause. But you will be wise to carry your la bors no farther. There will be another day. A few of you have been extremely busy In helping pad the regl3tratioo; but you may as well know that a most complete check has been placed on all illegal voters. The registration of every person on the list has been examined, and the fact of their residence at the place given tested. If you aid these persons to vote on primary day, you will take the conse quences. This is a good time for you to lie low, anyway. the president, and that McArdle is the president, Billings the vice-president and Baldwin the secretary of the Co-operative Investment Company. The latter con cern, it is alleged, was organized by the officers and directors of the former com pany, for the express purpose of trans ferring to it the property and assets of the Union Savings & Loan Association and absorbing all of the assets thereof, for the Individual benefit of the officers -and directors of both corporations. It Is charged that the Union Savings & Loan Association conveyed by deeds to the Co-operative Investment Company on January 24, 1901, lots in Tremont, Colum bia Heights, Central Alblna Addition and Highland Park, for the consideration of $110, which are worth at least $2000; also that the officers of the Union Savings & Loan Association have sold and trans ferred nearly all of the assets of the as sociation to the Co-operatlvo Investment Company, and to preferred stockholders, at grossly Inadequate pricos. It is fur ther alleged that the Union Savings & Loan Association, sold to F. W. Sheffield a mortgage for $3000, in settlement of stock held by him, for a much smaller amount. Tho officers of the association, it is averred, have persuaded a large number of stockholders to relinquish their stock, and In lieu thereof accept stock in the Co-operative Investment Company. After the stock in the Union Savings & Loan Association was so surrendered, it is stated that it was reissued in the name of E. A. Baldwin, for the purpose of hav ing him own a controlling interest of Jthe Union Company's stock. Afterwards, it Is alleged, the defendants fraudulently TO ELECTION JUDGES. County Clerk Swetland has sent to the election Judges of every precinct in the city, be sides the usual election ma terial, a duplicate tally-sheet The chairman, or some other member of the election board, 13 requested to fill out this duplicate blank.

In this way the returns from the en tire city may bo promptly compiled and the result known Saturday night. and with Intent to cheat plaintiffs with drew all of its mortgages and securities from the Merchants National Bank, and disposed of the same to preferred credit ors and 'stockholders, and left plaintiffs without any security whatever. The further charge is made that, after the officers had so fraudulently obtained a majority of the stock, they called a pre tended meeting of the stockholders for September 30, 1901, and the only persons present were L. D. McArdle, Moses Bill ings, C. B. Walte and C. W. Miller. The meeting, It is stated," was -called for the alleged purpose of winding up tho affairs of the corporation, and C. W. Miller was appointed trustee for that purpose. Mill er, it is asserted, had "been a stockholder in the Union Savings & Loan Association to the extent of $5000, and had, shortly prior to the time of the meeting, been paid by tho directors and officers in full, and the other officers, in pursuance of a scheme to pay themselves out of the funds of the association, have all been paid in full, and have failed to pay tho plaintiffs anything. It is stated that the officers of the Union Savings & Loan As sociation on September 17, 1900, reported to the Secretary of State, under oath, that it had assets, consisting of mortgages and other securities on deposit with the Mer chants National Bank, of tho value ot $C2.i0i and shortly prior to the appoint ment of C W. Miller as trustee withdrew all of these mortgages and securities and secretly disposed of the Bame, contrary to the statutes in such cases made and provided.

The mass meeting was called by the Federated Trades, and was attended by representative citizens from all walks of "life. The resolutions were drawn by a committee consisting of George E.

Missed His Footing and Fell is. the River. "While about to board tho ,British ship Rockhurst lying in the river near Fif teenth and Front streets yesterday morn ing, "William Cameron, a sailor, missed his footing, fell against a log between the ship and the wharf, and was drowned. His body was afterward recovered. Cameron was GO years old, and he be longed to- Glasgow, Scotland. He waa em ployed as a sailor on the Rockhurst, the latter coming into this port from Mollendo, February 2S. Since hl3 arrival here, as tho evidence at yesterday's Coroner's In quest showed, Cameron has been more or less under tho influence of liquor. "Wed nesday morning at 5 o'clock ho went on shore for what he called a good time, and lato that night ho was met In a whlte chapel saloon by ono of his shipmates, Richard Dumont. About midnight the two sailors left the saloon together and walked towards their ship. Cameron was under the influence of liquor, and he walked behind Dumont. Tho later reached tho ship first, and. on turning around to look for Cameron, saw him walking toward the wharf, about 20 feet away from the gangway. "Look out," yelled Dumont, but Cameron did not seem to pay any attention to the warning, and he staggered over the wharf. The startled man heard a crash as ho struck the log lying In the water, and then all was still. He Instantly called for assistance, and lowered himself by means of a rope and searched for the man, but without success. All that was left of him was his hat, and that floated near the spot where he had disappeared. Iater In the morning the Coroner was notified, and then Hugh Brady found Cameron's body. There was a bruise over his forehead where ho had struck the log, and from the appearance of tho body ho was In ternally Injured. Tho verdict of the Cor oner's Jury was that Cameron was acci dentally drowned. The famous "Koh-T-Noor" pencils are made In 11 degrees to suit all purposes. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.
