THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1902. COUNT SHOWS CHANGES DRISCOLL, JA3IESOX, 31'DONELL AXD FINLEY 3IAKE GAINS. Section Board Hears Lively Argu ment as to Right to Open Ballot Boxes for Tally Sheets. The official canvass yesterday of the vote cast In Multnomah County, devel oped quite a number of changes, and there was also an "argument concerning the opening of four ballot boxes which were sealed by mistake with the tally sheets inclosed. This was done in pre cincts 33, 58. CS and 69. According to law only the ballots should be placed rnd sealed in the ballot boxes. It was necessary, in order to complete the offi cial count, to remove the tally-sheets from the ballot boxes in these four pre cincts. When precinct 33 was reached County Clerk Swetland suggested that the ballot boxes be opened and the tally sheets taken out, and the boxes be then sealed up again by the election board. The other members of the board assent- ed, and also the candidates present, and W. 2C. Gatens, representing the Demo cratic ticket. Judge Webster, who ap pears for the Republicans, said he had no objection, and S. C. Spencer, the fu sion ticket representative, agreed with the others. John Manning, appearing for Mr. Cham berlain, said Mr. Furnish ought to be represented, even thcjgh it was only a technical matter. Several persons re marked that as Judge "Webster was ap pointed by the chairman of the Repub lican stajte central committee to ap pear for the Republicans at the count, he also appear for Mr. Furnish. Judge "Webster did so. N. H. Alexander stated that he repre sented Mr. Furnish and had no objection to offer. This caused John Manning to remark that Mr. Alexander would not represent Mr. Furnish if it became necessary for him not to do so. Mr. Alexander re torted in kind, and said Manning had no right to make any such statement. Justice Kraemer said he hoped per sonalities would not bo indulged in. Judge "Webster said the members of the hoard should proceed and open the box and take out the tally-sheets, and ho would assume the responsibility so far as the Republicans were concerned. The ballot box of precinct 33 was then opened, the tally-sheets removed, and the count was proceeded with. The seals used are of paper which are pasted over the place -where the box opens. A new seal was put on the box which was signed by Judge "Webster, Mr. Gatens, Mr. Spencer and ho others pres ent, so that It can be ascertained if it should be broken. Assessor McDonell gained 100 over the figures as kept by the Republicans in precinct 27. This is Mr. "Watklns own precinct. McDonell claims that he has 265 to the good. Drlscoll gained 20 In precinct 32 and later Storey gained 3 in another precinct. Jameson gained 50 in precinct 34, ac cording to Republican figures. Flnley gained 100 in precinct 26, and lost 20 in precinct 30. Chief Deputy County Clerk A. N. Gam bell will ct as a member of the elec tion board today In place of County Clerk Swetland. The latter will go to Astoria as one of the reception committee of the A. O. U. "W. "When the election board adjourned yesterday, 41 precincts had been counted.' GUARDIAN MAKES DEFENSE. "W. H. "Warrens Denies He Has Mis managed Affairs of Fhillippl. "W. H. "Warrens yesterday filed an an swer in the County Court to the petition of Mary Kramer asking for his removal as guardian of the estate of her son, Frank PhllllppI, a minor. He admits that it was provided in the will of A. Phlllippl. deceased, that on the death of Frederick Phlllippl, without children, one half of the estate should go to Frank Phlllippl. Concerning the amount of rents and profits of the property collected by Fred erick PhllllppI since 1S92, "Warrens says he has no information sufficient to form a "belief. He denies that Frederick Phll lippl refused to pay out moneys for the education of the minor, and says that moneys were sent to his mother in In dlana for .that purpose. As to whether or not since the death of Frederick Phll lippl, his wife, Annie Philllppl, has re fused to account for the interest of Frank Philllppl, "Warrens says he has no knowl edge. "Warrens denies that he has not per formed his duties properly, or that he has mismanaged the affairs of the estate, and he says the estate of Frederick Phll lippl must bo closed before "he, "Warrens, as guardian of tho minor, is entitled to jcollect the rents of the property, but he cays Annie Phlllippl has advanced 1499 for the,mlnor, $275 of which has been paid to his. mother. "Warrens asserts that Mrs. Kramer Is not a fit and proper person to act as guardian of the estate of her son, because ehe has married again and is more or less under the control of her husband, the stepfather of the boy, and it is further alleged that on substantially the same grounds a petition for her appointment as guardian was denied by the County Court.

GENTLE PIONEER PREACHER But Three Members of Old Pacific Conference Survive Dr. Dillon. After the death of Rev. Isaac Dillon, who is supposed to have been drowned in Puget Sound, there remain only three of the original pioneer ministers of the Methodist Conference, when it included Oregon, Washington and California. These are Rev. J. "W. Miller, of the East Side; Rev. John Fllnn, of Vancouver, Wash.; and Rev. X. Doane, of Portsmouth. The former two enjoy good health, ,but Mr. Doane Is very feeble. Mr. Miller, who lives at 620 East Ankeny street, came to Portland two years before Dr. Dillon arrived, and was on intimate terms with the latter through many years when the Oregon Conference was being formed. In speaking of the dead pioneer minister last evening, Mr. Miller said: "I was intimate with Dr. Dillon for a number of years. He came to Oregon in 1S52. two years after my nrrivaL For a time he taught in the old Oregon In stitute, at Salem, before the Willamette University building was erected. He was well-fitted to be a teacher. At that time this was called the Oregon Missionary Conference, and It extended from Lower California through to tho British boun dary. After leaving the Oregon Insti tute, Mr. Dillon engaged In the active work of the ministry, and served as pre siding elder of the Walla Walla district before that territory was cut off from the Oregon Conference. "He was a very useful man along edu cational lines. In committee work Dr. Dillon was very effective and his influ ence was important in shaping the con ference on a great many important mat ters. He was a man of education and culture, and an effective writer, although not an orator. Still he "was a cogent talker. When an editor was wanted for the Pacific Christian Advocate to take the place of Dr. Benson, Dr. Dillon was elected, as he was regarded as well fitted for that important position; He was a success in that line of work. While editor he frequently preached for me, as I was pastor of Centenary Church. He was succeeded as editor of the Ad vocate by Rev. J. H. Acton. Rev. H. 3C Hlnes and Rev. "W. S. Harrington. "When Washington was cut off from the Oregon Conference he went with that conference. Of late years he has been In feeble health. The pioneers have died rapidly the past few years. Dr. Thomas Pearne, first editor of the Advocate, and Dr. Benson and Rev. H. K. Hines have died, and now Dr. DIHoh Is gone, leaving few who were here when the Oregon Conference was. forming. Only Dr. Doane, Rev. John Fllnn and myself are left." The Pacific Christian Advocate of Sep tember A, 1895, printed tho following sketch of Dr. Dillon: Dr. Isaac Dillon was the third editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate. He was born October 28, 1S23, In Zanesvllle, O., and was converted In 1830. He was grad uated from Dickinson College at the age of 21, and entered tho Ohio conference the next year. In 1S52, after Itinerating eight years, he was transferred to the Oregon conference, and at the division of that conference in 1882 he be carno a member of the Puget Sound confer ence. After service on various important charges, Jn 1866 he was appointed presiding elder of the Walla Walla district. Two years later he was. elected editor of the Pacific Christian Ad vocate, which position he held for eight years, when he re-entered the regular work. For some years he has sustained a superan nuated relation to his conference. Gentle In disposition, thoroughly consecrated to God and humanity, his life has been busy and useful, and he has hosts of friends. He is spending his declining years amid the beautiful scenery of Puget Sound. AT BISHOP SCOTT'S. Commencement Exercises for 32d Year Today.

In Order to Avoid an Unplcnsant Contest "With Present East Side Director, He Withdravrs. "W. W. Bretherton, who was asked to become a candidate for School Director at the coming election by his neighbors and friends several days ago, yesterday decided that he would not be a candidate. It seems that he did not care to be a candidate against J. V. Beach. Mr. Breth erton had already received assurance of hearty support, and his announcement withdrawing from the race leaves the field clear for Mr. Beach, provided no other candidate comes out between now and next Monday. Mr. Bretherton sets forth his reasons for withdrawing from the contest in the following letter: Portland. June 11, 1002. Messrs. L. E. Kern, J. R Stoddard, P. Van Hoomlssen and others Gentlemen: Since accepting your very klncLand flattering Invitation to become a candidate for School Director for our district. I have recon sidered the matter very fully, and reviewing all the conditions have concluded to withdraw from the contest. Although no other candidate has so far accepted a nomination for the office, I understand from Mr. Wittenberg and others that the present Director from the East Side will accept such nomination and seek a re election, and that the best interests of the dis trict, and more especially those on the East Side, will be served by having no unpleasant contest between candidates, both residing on the East Side. Under these circumstances, aa my only desire was to serve the best Interests of our public schools In every way, I have con cluded to withdraw from the contest for the directorship. Thanking you and all my friends for your very kind and hearty support of out mutual Interests, a support that developed be yond my utmost expectations, I have the honor to be, yours, respectfully. W. W. BRETHERTON. TO PREVEXT,CRUBLTY TO AXIMALS. Stephens Band of Mercy Will Ask Humane Society for Membership. At the closing meeting for the year of the Stephens School Band of Mercy, held yesterday afternoon In Gruner's Hall, It was decided to petition the Oregon Hu mane Society to permit members of the Band of Mercy to become Junior members- of that society, and also to ask that organization to extend the work among school children of the city. Miss Mary E. McGraw, a teacher In one of the San Francisco schools, made a brief but Interesting talk to the chil dren present. She told them about the London Humane Society, which had pro vided a pasture of about 1000 acres for the rendezvous of worn-out horses. This society, said Miss McGraw, had authority toviake a worn-out horse from anywhere and place it In this pasture until the ani mal had recruited and was able to go Into service. If the owner was a poor man. another horse was given him to take the place of the one taken away. Miss McGraw told the children that the world was becoming humane and look ing after the dumb creatures to see that they were not abused. She told about what was being done In the schools of San Francisco, where she said that every school had a Band of Mercy, and each member was a member of the Humane Society of that place. Each wore a badge and was actively engaged In watching for every case of abuse of horses, beating or overloading. With so many school chil dren watching for cases of abuse those Inclined to mistreat their horses had largely ceased to do so for fear of being reported to the humane society, for that meant a flne. The speaker showed vhat the school children can do for the dumb animals In preventing their being abused, and In closing urged that the organization continue its work. It was moved and carried that a peti tion should be sent to the Oregon Hu mane Society asking for junior member ship. Miss Eugenia Kern will prepare copies of this petition and have them in tho rooms of the Stephens School for the signature of the pupils. In connection with the address of Mis McGraw an In teresting programme of songs and recita tions was given. This was the last meet ing this year. The work will be resumed at the opening of the Fall term of school, FOUNDATION FOR BOILERS. TVorlc'on P. C. O. Co.'s Grounds Building "Will Be Removed. "Work on the concrete foundation for the Babcock boilers and engine for the power plant of the Portland City & Ore gon Railway Company, on the Rosa "Wal lace tract, at the foot of East Mill street. Is progressing. The engineer In charge Is having a board retaining wall built ready for the stone and concrete. The power house will stand at the extreme south side of the "Wallace tract, and the top of the foundation will be above high-water mark. Stone ,from tho old stone works on the grounds will be worked Into the foundation with the concrete. The power house Itself will be about 50x50. This foundation for the boilers is all that Is under way on these terminal grounds, but the other buildings will no doubt soon follow the erection of the power-house. These will be the machine shops and car barn, docks, and the saw mill. On the grounds secured, which ex tend from Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s sawmill and East Clay, including also tho block occupied by Johnston's boatyard, between East Clay and Hawthorne avenue, there are 15 buildings, which are to be removed. The hardware factors' owned by "W. E. Robertson and others on the Alger block has suspended operations, and will move away. The company held a lease on the property, but sold It to the railway com pany. On the Southern Pacific Railway Is also a machine shop occupied by HIc cock & Co., which also will have to be moved. The row of buildings facing on East Clay street will be torn down. All the buildings of the oar factory will be removed. On the east side of the tract the old stone works' structure will be torn down. Most of the structures that have been occupied are either vacant or will he soon. The agent of the railroad company Jumped up the rent In every case to prohibitive rates, with the object of course, of causing the tenants to get out as expeditiously as possible. "Where there is a leas the agent has negotiated to.get possession. Machinery of tho hard wood factory will be stored until another site shall have been secured. The rail road company evidently wants the use of the entire tract of land as goon as possible for Its terminal facilities. XEWS OF rLEASAXT HOME.

Brotje. a Mount Tabor fruitgrower, met with a runaway accident yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, while driving In from his farm to the Portland market with a load of gooseberries and flower plants. He drove In with two horses and a wagon. As he came to East Thirteenth on Belmont street the strap holding up the neck yoke of one of the horses broke. The swinging of the tongue frightened the horses, causing them to run away. They dashed down the steep grade of Belmont street at a great speed. Goose berries and flower plants were distributed along the street. Brotje was thrown out, striking heavily on the plank street, but quickly got on his feet and pursued the wagon. At the southwest corner of Grand avenue and Belmont street the horses collided with the sidewalk. Here the horses broke loose. .Otae disappeared south on Grand avenue, but the other one was caught about a block away. "When the wagon struck the sidewalk the rest of the load of gooseberries and flower plants was split out. The horse that es caped ran about three miles and was caught near Richmond.

Grape-Nuts vs. White Bread, etc. A family figured carefully on the cost of food, taking Into consideration the strength and health that Grape-Nuts fur nished. The report Is Interesting. "We first took up Grape-Nuts because It agreed with, me so well. I was suffer ing from dyspepsia that medicine did not relieve. I frequently laughed at the idea when some of my friends told of the ue of Grape-Nuts; however, one day Wife bought a package and we found It good and It agreed with me. "We were accustomed to using white bread and oats, wheat or barley mushes boiled from two to four hours. We con sidered Grape-Nuts too expensive, but I noticed that when I had a breakfast of Grape-Nuts I felt fine, and other days when white bread and other cereals were used I felt weak and bloated. "One day about six months ago I said to Wlf 'I am satisfied that Grape-Nuts Is the thing that makes me feel better in between the blue spells.' Then we sat down and figured a while on the cost of living and came to the conclusion that wc could live better and happier on 15 cents' worth of Grape-Nuts than on 25 cents' worth of white bread or 'cooked at home cereals. You see four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nats furnish more strength to work on than large quantities of other food, so we started on Grape-Nuts In earn est, using It every morning, and a won derful chango has come over me. "I am gaining In weight every day. Never have any of the old bloated feel ings.
