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

The penalty is fine and im

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.

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.

W. Miller, E. E. Miller, F. W. Sheffield
and the Co-operative Investment Com

various kinds is demanded.
The plaintiffs are stockholders of the
Union Savings & Loan Association, and

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

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

all of these mortgages and securities and
secretly disposed of the Bame, contrary
to the statutes in such cases made and

A decree is asked that the defendants
be ordered to account for all of the prop

had to move it out It would not be worth

60 acres In Sherman County will probably
have to be sold to pay them.

2060, there was no member of the iMmmlttee
who favored enlarging the scope of the Geary

committee was In favor of making provisions In
tho new law which would raako Imposslblo

Department found difficulty In enforcing.
The House bill Is still before the committee
on Interstate and foreign commerce, but It Is
hoped that atavorable report will Te made

DROWNING OF A SAILOR. .
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.
