' 14 THE- MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. APRIL 10, 1902. ROW SN SIMON CAMP Split Imminent Over Two Minor Offices. MAY WRECK THE WHOLE SCHEME 'Tike" Davis Wont City Attorney ship for S. C. Spencer, and ThTi Tries to Sidetrack T. B. JIcDev itt, Jr., for Municipal Judge. A lively row has broken out anions the Simon Republicans over the terms of fusion -with the Democrats. The irlends of S. C. Spencer want the City Attorneyship, and the friends of T. B. McDevltt, Jr., -want the Municipal Judgeship held out for him. The Simon men cannot have both these places. They will be given on the Fusion ticket Sheriff. County Clerk, County Assessor, City Auditor, and either City Attorney or Municipal Judge, and either County or City Treasurer, and not more than three places on the Legislative ticket. ed In the Autumn, and vrlll make a much more rapid growth than if planted In the Spring. Tender -varieties, however, must be planted in the Spring. Pruning. The Spring is the proper time to prune rose bushes, but if their growth has been so great as to make them top heavy they must be pruned in the Fall, as they are in danger of breaking. Spraying. On account of numerous pests that Infect rose bushes frequent spraying Is necessary. The common pests are the aphis, mildew, rose caterpillar or leaf roller and yellow leaves. Fertilizers. Fresh cow manure, well rot ted stable manure and chicken manure are all excellent fertilizers. Portland soil Is deficient in potassium, which can be made up by using hardwood ashes. Bone dust or saltpetres may be used to advantage. Watering. In the blooming season water should be used very sparingly. The bushes should be sprayed with water. On the back of rose leaves are little pores, and it Is as Important that these be kept open as that the pores in the human skin be kept open. Mulching. The ground should be kept loose and covered by something that will hold the moisture. Grass cut from the lawn Is excellent for this purpose. Disbudding. A rosebush has only so much vitally; hence if we allow too many buds to bloom the roses will be inferior. Fall blooming. Allow the bushes to rest through July, then water them heavily in August for Fall blooming. Protection in Winter. As a rule roses in this climate need no protection, but if they have been covered, remove the covering gradually and remove the final covering on a wet, stormy day. To expose the bushes Just uncovered to the sun would probably result In their being killed. ROMANCE OF AN OLD SHACK fG CSw ' o Mercerized Canvas in all the leading shades 25c a yard. Cheney Bros.

Ladies' Waterproof "Rainshine" Coats $18 xnd $20 values at $15.85 , The harmony of the Democratic-Fusion forces was jarred yesterday by a wrangle over distribution of the spoils. The con ference committee was In session, and "was sailing down the line, handing out this office to the Democratic wing of the 3uuse and that to the stalwarts of the Simon forces, when the question arose: ""Would the Simon Republicans prefer Mu nicipal Judge or City Attorney added to their share of the public pie?" Over this question was precipitated a jangle that Is one of the many rocks in the way of the successful traveling of the Fusion bandwagon. The Democrats point ed out that only one of the offices could go to the Simon Republicans. Which? "Pike" Davis wras up in a minute pre senting the claims of S. C. Spencer for City Attorney. The friends of Tom B. McDevitt, Jr., to whom the nomination for Municipal Judge has heretofore been unanimously conceded, were equally active In resisting this change in the Fusion pro gramme. Deputy City Attorney "Pike" Davis is credited with being the fomentor of this particular row in the Fusion ranks, and his action is arousing great Indignation among certain younger men who have al lied themselves with the Simon Republi cans. TJp to yesterday's meeting there was no question that Tom McDevItt, Jr., would be given the nomination for Mu nicipal Judge in recognition of the work of this particular branch of the party. His friends point out that he was one of the few Simon workers that carried . his precinct, No. 9, in the primary cam paign. The boom for S. "Clemency" Spen cer, it is pointed out by McDevltt's friends, was started by Deputy City Attor ney "Pike" Davis, and his reward would be conceding, of course, that the Fusion movement was successful at the polls the appointment as chief deputy in the City Attorney's office, which title he has defended successfully against all comers for six long, weary years. The fight has thus narrowed down to a contest in the ranks of the Simon Republicans. The members of the Democratic side of the conference are not disposed to take sides. They say that the Simon men must settle their own differences, and put up the man that will be the strongest for the ticket. Deputy City Attorney Davis is loud In the praises of S. C. Spencer. McDevltt's friends sounded a counter blast in the favor of their candidate. The official conference committee, which will decide as to the merits of the two men as vote-getters, is composed as fol lows: Simon Republicans Donald Mac kay, J. Thorburn Ross and li. D. Cole (the "V- personal representative of D. Soils Cohen); Democrats State Senator Alex Sweek, W. N. Gatens and Oglesby Toung. The Simon forces negotiating the rusion are hungry for as many nominations as they can get from the. Democratic side of the house. This tendency the Demo crats have been forced to resist. The details of the fusion are being arranged with as much secrecy and circumspection as possible. So far it has been decided to give the Simon wing of the party nomi nations for Sheriff, County Clerk, County Assessor and City Auditor, and not more than three nominations on the Legislative ticket. Two additional plums -will be hand ed out cither City Attorney or Municipal Judge, and either County or City Treas urer. Whether the Democrats, in arrang ing the terms of the surrender of the Si mon Republicans, can even deliver so much of the goods In the face of the clamor that will be raised in tho city and county convention is uncertain, as there is a strong sentiment among the Demo cratic delegates not to yield too much in ireturn for the elusive promises of Simon 'support for the whole Democratic ticket 'state, county and city. There is an es pecially strong sentiment against giving up the nomination for Sheriff, with the great patronage that could be distributed among Democratic stalwarts in case or success. Memories Itevlved by Tearing? Doivn of a Dilapidated Structure. The old shacks on the property of Thomas M. Richardson, at the northeast corner of Third and Salmon streets, are being torn down to make room for a new brick building. There is any number of congeries of old shacks about town which should have disappeared long ago, but It is doubtful if there Is another lot of quite such dilapidated and ramshackly struc tures as these. Like other collections of this kind which have outlasted theifr use fulness, but little can be learned of their history. xney wero built so long ago that those who built them and those who lived in them has nearly all passed away. It Is said that the corner was many years ago, probably about SO, the Dr. Weatherford residence property, and quite a pretentious house stood there, which was afterward moved away. The tiny house now on the corner of the property was afterward the residence of James Weatherford, and was converted Into a carpenter shop by building a shed ad dition, and has been occupied by Q. W. Gordon for years. The house adjoining, on Salmon street, had an ivy vine grow ing over the front, which is In reality a tree, as the stalk is about four inches in diameter. Just who lived there a quar ter of a century ago no one appears to know, but In the next house, on the east end of the property, E. F. Heroy used to live, and he for some time gave a home to Gemma Frankie, an Italian girl, who will be remembered by many old-timers on account of her romantic career. She was stolen from her parents in Italy by gypsies, when a child, and when a young woman came to Portland with a circus, which went to pieces here. She was taken charge of by Mr. Heroy, and Anally learned tho art of typesetting in the of fice of the Pacific Christian Advocate, and tbiough a correspondence entered into with the Italian Government, was finally restored to her parents In Italy. It Is not known that any other romance is con nected with the old shacks now being torn down. A Record of Appreciation.

Matthews, chairman of the Re publican Central Committee, has up to the present had a vain search for desirable rooms in which to establish Republican headquarters. He has inspected most of the office buildings in tho city, and has even gone the length of offering a hand come bonus to tenants temporarily to va cate convenient rooms, but without suc cess. As a last effort, Mr. Matthews may be forced tto rent a desirable residence, where campaign work can be carried on, and he is now spending part of his time looking at central residence property. It -was hoped that Mr. Matthews would be oble to secure those rooms in the Chamber of Commerce building formerly used for Republican headquarters by Mr. Steel, ex-chairman of the Republican City Com mittee, but this last hope has gone. Mr. Matthews has the privilege of nam ing the secretary of the State Central Committee, but has not yet made a decis ion in this matter. He hopes, however, to Fecure satisfactory headquarters in a few days. HOW TO GROW ROSES. jr. v. Holm an Makes Practical Ad dregs Before Rose Club. An interesting and valuable study of roses and rose culture was presented by F V. Holman, at the meeting of the Port land Rose Club, held at the Unitarian Qhapel, at Seventh and Yamhill streets, last night, Mr. Holmans address was along popular lines, doallng with the home cul ture of roses among those of limited ex perience, rather than with the expert growing of choice varieties. A brief outline of the suggestions made is as follows: ! Position Attention should be given to choosing a place for rose bushes. All roses require some sunshine, but some need only the morning sun, while seme thrive best In the hottest places. Drainage. Portland soil is a clay that packs if the drainage is not good. A sim ple but practical way to arrange for drain age Is to dig a hole two or three feet deep and place in it a layer of stones or char coal. Planting. Hardy varieties can be plant- A Money-Savinff Sale OF Tailor-Made II 111 Jtfiitflr.

Fleld'a Greater Minstrels will open an engagement of two nights. Last year was the first time this celebrated organ ization played In Portland and gave one of the best entertainments ever given In mln. etrelsy. Mr. Field's "first part" this year Is composed of a grand scenic spectacle entitled "A Day and a Night at the Pan American Exposition." one of the most gorgeous and brilliant electric stage set tings ever conceived. The company this year is stronger both in numbers and talent than last. Mr. Field is of the up-to-date order, and believes In giving the public the best. 8uch noted artists as Jimmy Wall, Frank Fogarty, Tom Don nelly, John Blackford, Doc Qulgley, George Mullen, Goldman and Hyde, Reese Proser, Joseph E. Blamphim, M. Julian Walsh, Dan Quinlan, together with Mr. Field, is a pretty hard "bunch" to beat In the minstrel line. The company will arrive early this morning, to be In read iness for their elaborate parade which takes place at noon today from the theater. united In the opinion that it is the great est success of his career. Mite Helen Grantly. whose pictures have extensively appeared in the leading pub lications, and is noted for her beauty, as well a3 histrionic talent, will be seen in the role of Katherlne. The supporting company is said to be of strong caliber, while the scenic embellishments and cos tumes are reported to be on a lavish scale. "The Taming o the Shrew." This morning at 10 o'clock tho seats for C. B. Hanford in "The Taming of the Shrew" will be placed on sale. The company will ope:: its engagement Saturday afternoon at the Marquam Grand Theater, continuing Saturday night. In the early stage of his career Charles B. Hanford, who is now recognized as America's most prominent Shakespearean star, was leading man In the company of the famous tragedian, Edwin Booth, Han ford acted as Booth's understudy, andon several occasions appeared in the great actor's place when the latter was 111. On several occasions he substituted for Mr. Booth as Petruchio in "The Taming of the Shrew." Young Hanford, in Booth's estimation combined all the qualities necessary for the many-sided personalities of Petruchio. This season he is appearing at i&e head of his own company in an elaborate re vival of "The Taming of the Shrew," and wherever he has appeared the critics have "Under Two Flags" at Cordray's. Many who read the announcement of the production of "Under Two Flags" by the Shirley Company at Cordray's this week were under the Impression that the bill was to run the entire week. Considerable disappointment was felt and expressed when It was learned that such was not the case, as- the play was one which had made one of the most pronounced hits of the season, and tho Shirley Company has taken Its place among the reigning favor ites in Portland. Owing to the continuous demand at the box office of the theater for seats for this play, Manager Cord ray 'has arranged for a reappearance of the company for one week, commencing next Sunday evening, April 13, when "Un der Two Flags" will be the attraction. This announcement will be received with deep satisfaction, not only by those who were disappointed through not being able to secure seats during the first part of the week, but by those who did not see It as well, as many desired to see It again. "Nathan Hale." There can be no question as regards Clyde Fitch being the man of the hour, as the most talked about playwright of the present time. IJast season Ave of Mr. Fitch's successes were running simul taneously on Broadway, New Yprk, to minusome proms, ana iiext season six rucn piays wiu iry ior iame m .Liondon, so that It is not surprising to note the Interest manifested here every time one of his dramatic compositions new to our theater patrons is announced. "Nathan Hale," one of Mr. Fitch's most pronounced successes, will be seen at ue Marquam Grand Theater next Monday, xucsuuy unu weunesaay nignis. , Aside from the historical Interest with which it Is invested, able critics have de clared It to be Mr. Fitch's best effort. The production here will be made by How ard Kyle and the same company that has supported him ever since he came into possession of this valuable piece of prop erty. Mr. Kyle will also bring with him the same elaborate scenic equipment which characterized the presentation of "Nathan Hale" and the Knickerbocker Theater, New Tork, and Powers Theater, Chicago.
