A u TECEMPRNING OBEQONIAy,' TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1902. ELECTION VERY QUIET VOTE BELOW THE REGISTRATION FIGURES. In Portland People Voted and "Went Their Way Without Excitement or Argument. It was a quiet election. The vote was lighter than "was expected, a falling off of over 30 per cent In the North End being a particularly surprising -feature. The total vote in the city was Consider ably under the registration. At the polls the candidates and their personal friends were the only persons who appeared to be in the least excited, and the voters as a rule came to the polls and marked their ballots rapidly, as if they had. long ago made up their minds how they were going to vote. While the police were active in the interejts of Mr. Inman, they preserved order and to ill appearances did nothing to intimidate voters. There was no Indication of trouble at any precinct, and the only excitement around town was caused by the betting, which waa the heaviest known in years. Last night great crowds came out to look at the bulletin boards, and the betting continued up to a late hour, as the re turns came in too slowly to shed much light on the probable outcome. Busy Scenes at Headquarter. The scenes at the headquarters of the two parties may best be described In the words of a Democrat, who remarked: "The election Is over and all la harmony." At 7:30 .o'clock quite a crowd assembled at the Republican headquarters and all were anxious for returns. Among the early callers were Paul R. Deady, P. A. Worth- ington, Victor B. Dolliver, of Iowa, and( .u. P. w. Quimby. Later on others called and all demanded information that Chair man Matthews could not furnish. At the Democratic j-tate headquarters Secretary Montague presided in the ab sence of Chairman White. Returns were received regularly and were communicated to the seven or eight Democrats who were present. Assistant Secretary Lathrop changed his headquarters to the Good nough building, where he received reports from the Eastern Oregon counties. The rooms of the Democratic county and city committee were enlivened by the presence of Harry Wolf, James Klernan, I D. Cole and W. E. Burke. Mr. Wotf and Mr. Klernan puffed their cigars in their usual complacent way and they asked . reporter who appeared if he had heard anything of an election. Receiv ing an answer in the affirmative, they asked some questions about the possible majorities and then relapsed into silence. Mr. Chamberlain started for his office c altxj for the Democratic state head- t nrjcrs about S o'clock, but he did not get iurthor than the door of one of the elevators in the Chamber of Commerce building until after 9.30. Quite a crowd surrounded him, and some offered con gratulations, based on the returns which had then been received. Dr. Lane came up about the same time and he and the District Attorney shook hands. As they were exchanging greetings a man stejped out of the elevator and announced that the returns from precinct No. 7 showed that both Chamberlain and Lane were running ahead of Furnish and McGinn. "Well, that's encouraging." remarked the doctor. "George, if we are not elected we will let them know that we are in the fight." "I am of that opinion myself," said Mr. Chamberlain, as he calmly puffed his cigar. Later on It was stated authentically that Mr. Lathrop had received dispatches from A, D. StUlman and C. S. Jackson, of Pen dleton, to the effect that Umatilla County, Mr. Furnlsh's home, would g6 Demo cratic. When the news waa made known to Mr. Chamberlain he said he would await the receipt of further returns. On the streets and in the vicinity of The Gregonian office crowds gathered to read the returns of the election. Cheers were given whenever any secured a lead of votes, and to the crowd a favorite ap peared every minute. Xorth of Wnfthinrcton Street. In the precinct polling places north of Washington street, the election nro- gressed quietly. There were no fights or orawis. ana despite the fact that most of the "gin mills" carried on a lucrative back-door traffic, there were few drunks and no tinges of disorder. In the Tender loin precincts the vote was exceptionally light, the figures showing a shortage of more than 30 per cent under the. registra tion. The absence of hobos an,d vagrants was especially noticeable, it being the general supposition that Such floaters were not bold enough to come forward and oa.st their ballots. The" dlvekeepers and hangers-on about thel North End were there, however, all of Ihem whoop ing it up for Inman and Chamberlain. "Dollar Bill," the welUknown "colored ger.ticman," was n conspicuous figure about the polling plice of "precinct No. A, on Seventh and Gllsan. where the Sunnv countenance of "Pike" Davis welcomed all comers, regardle.ss of race, color or previous political affiliation: A young man who gave his, -name as Victor Jenkins, and stated that ho re sided In a boarding-house op Second streot near Flanders, was arrested at this polling booth, charged with attempting to vote illegally. Jenkins presented an affidavit signed by several politicians, in which they certified that they knew the man personally and that he livefcl at the address Indicated. After belngl sworn. Jenkins admitted among other things that he had not seen the persons so certifying write their names in his presence, and he was taken to the police station and locked up by Policeman Wilkinson, but was afterward released on his friends' furnishing boll for his appearance A the Municipal Court tot!a. . Nothing of any great Importance '"pc curred around any of the North End precincts, but the "heelers" of every clique And faction were on hand with candidates.' cards and generous advioe. inc small boy, too. was there, and the question, "Got anv election cards, mis ter?" was heard on every hand. Quiet ness reigned supreme throughout the Third Ward, except at precinct No. 9, on North Sixth street, where a dog-fight re lieved the monotony of the situation late in the afternoon. Judge George II. Williams voted at pre clnct No. 13. C23 Washington street, short ly after 10 o'clock In the morning. "Big" Jones was a. clerk at thin Twilllne tilaee. where he smoked ha pipe in contented ease throughout the day- In precinct No. 7, the absence of "United States Sen ator Joseph Simon waa the source of some regret on the part of his admirers, wjio, however, contented themselves with the .assurance that "Joe" will not have to perform official duties at Washington on the next election day. The venerable Joe Bergman was a Judge in precinct 7, which polled a good-sized vote. In fact, all the residence precincts polled good votes yesterday, the only fall ing: off being in the down-town districts and the slums. In all the former dis tricts, Williams sentiment was on the rise throughout the day, the hurrah of the Inman satellites being heard only throughout th "bad lands." At the polling piace of precinct No. 1, 776 Savler street, a good deal of wire pulling was done. One generous individ ual provided a keg of beer for the "byes," while cheap 'stogie?" were handed out by the handful all day long. The noise of carriage wheels was heard throughout the various precincts, candidates hurry ing to and fro with a bustle of activity that will no doubt cease as soon as some of them are comfortably Installed Jn of fice. It was, all in all, a typical election day, although exciting scenes were few and far between. South of Washington. In the Fourth, Fifth. Sixth and Seventh Wards, which comprise the territory on the West Side south of Washington street, more than one-half the, vote had been polled before noon. In the residence precincts the indications were for a very complete vote, and in the precincts7 along the water front the vote during the early hours of the day was light, but there was a substantial increase before the day closed. Socialists wearing badges were to be seen at all of the downtown precincts. Workers for indhldual candidates were everywhere numerous and posters were conspicuously displayed at the different precincts. The best of order prevailed throughout. In precinct No. 15, voting place at the corner of Twelfth and Morrison streets, ISO votes had been polled at 2 o'clock. The total number registered Is 326. At the polling place at 310 Yamhill street, precinct No. 16, 2C0 votes had been received at 2 o'clock. The total number registered is 377. In precinct 17, polling place corner West Park and Yamhill streets. 220 votes had been cast at 2 o'clock out of a total of 357 registered. l At the polling place corner of Third and Salmon streets, precinct No. IS, only 174 votes had been polled at 4 o'clock. The total number registered is 30G. In precinct No. 19, which polling place was located on Sixteenth street, near Jefferson. 200 votes had been polled -at 2 o'clock, 94 short of the tot41 registration.

Emll Eyssell and J. T. Mllner, appointed clerks to serve in the polling place-iri the Tabernacle building, corner Twelfth and Morrteon streets, failed to appear, and J. D. Parkinson and C D. Floyd were sworn In as clerks. MAXY ELECTION BETS MADE. Favorite Candidate Are Backed With the Coin of Partisans. Betting on favorite candidates continued at a lively Tate all day yesterday, and a number of large amounts were placed at various cigar stores and saloons. One bet of $1000, even money, was placed on Judge George H. Williams against Robert Inman for Mayor, and smaller bets of various amounts aggregated fully 510,000. Stiff betting was Indulged in on the Governor ship, both sides offering plenty of even money. It is estimated that bets to the amount of 515.000 were placed on the Fur-nlsh-Chamberlaln contest, and numerous small amounts were placed on candidates for local and county officers. Up to 9 o'clock last night, considerable betting took place, and one man placed several hundred dollarp on Inman after the par tial Teturns had been posted. It was a great day for the sports, and somebody will have plenty of some other fellow's 'money this morning. RISE OF RIVERS CHECKED Cool "Weather Cauacn Fall of Colum bia at Umatilla.

Miss Harriet Taylor, from Chicago, Na tional secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, spoke entertaining ly last evening in the Youn Women's Christian Association Hall, in the Mac leay building, before an audlenco com posed of members of the society and Its friends. The gathering was a large one, and was presided over by the president of the association, Mrs. W. J. Honey man. .4 . Miss Taylor spoke concerning what Is practical In association work, and said In beginning : "I have so much confidence in the Pa cific Coast that I feel that whatever Is accomplished anywhere in the United States can be accomplished here. I am surprised with an existence of about 15 months that you have over BOO members." The speaker told of the necessity of a well-equipped building, and re!a,ted how a magnificent building was dedicated and presented to the Y. W. C. A. in Mil waukee by Miss Planklngton, and that another building was erected for the.Y. W. C A. by a public-spirited woman In Minneapolis. The maintenance of boarding-houses at reasonable prices In some cities, under the cottage system, was commended, and educational -work was the next subject taken up. It was stated that there were 1100 young women In one of the evening colleges in the East, and 300 to 500 in the physical department Jn Minneapolis. Continuing, the speaker, said: "You haven't yet .grasped the possibil ities of association work." Next Miss Taylor discussed the four great armies of women. She said there are 1,200.000 women employed in factories, and it was related .that through the ef forts of the Y. W. a A. factories have provided noon rest rooms for the women and some of them even libraries. Do mestics were paid to number 1,260.000, and the number of the third great army, the young women emplpyed in etores and' shops and professions, the speaker said cannot be estimated. The fourth army of women, comprised of thoe In homes, women of talent, of culture and of wealth. It was explained can be of much service to the community, and that women o wealth, culture 'and Intellectual power should take hold of this question. "There is nothing too good, the speaker said, "for the women in our cities, to bo given through the Young Women's Chris tian Association." ' The Y. W. C. A. Glee Club, composed of 50 members, sang various selections, the Mandolin Club played a number of pieces, and the Y. W. C. A. quartet. Misses Imhoff, Wilson and Stevens, and Mrs. Courter, also sang.

From the Tesult-of what. was apparently a trivial puncture of the sole of his right j foot with a nail, forcing Its -way through J his shoe, George W. Pettit, 35 years old, a teacher In thft Arivpnttat Rrhnnl at Vnnt.1. I villa, lies at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Downs, of St. Johns, critically 111 with lockjaw or tetanus. For days It was doubtful if he could recover, but he was resting as easily as could be expected last night. It was about three weeks ajro that Mr. Pettit unfortunately stepped on a ' nan. wnicn cut its way through the thin sole of his right boot and punctured the sole of his foot. The cut was small, al though painful, but at the time the patient did not think It serious. A few days later, he called in his physi cian, Dr. W. F. Hubbard, and some sim ple remedy was applied, as apparently there was no Inflammation. But In about 10 day6 after thl Mr. Pettit began to complain of a stiffness In his jaws, and he found it a difficult njatter to speak at times. There was no swelling or soreness, but the muscles of his Jaw became set and rigid. The stiffness gradually ex tended to his neck, back and body until his whole system became Involved, and spasms followed. Up to Sunday It was not possible to get a spoon or an article as large as a lead pencil between the pa tient's Jaws, and he was fed with liquids only. Gradually, the benefit of the care ful nursing he received began to tell, and slowly but surely his set muscles are now Telaxlng. Dr. Hubbard told an Orcgonian man last night that It is a rare case, and that he now has every confidence that Als patient will recover ehorUy.
