V IX- THE. MORNING- OREGOTIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1903. WITH WILSON GONE Spokane Republicans Are Ail at Sea. WHO IS TO BECOME LEADER? Old Personal Issue Is Dead, and Xo One Has . Yet Appeared Strong: EnoBgh to Become Party' Head. SPOKANE, 'Wash-, Oct. 13. (Special.) t has not been the easiest thing In the world to pick up the loose ends and reor ganize the Republican workers In this county since Senator "Wilson let go and removed to Seattle. Perhaps ltis be cause the Wilson organization had polit ical affairs in Spokane County so thor oughly In hand that Republican affairs have been in a chaotic shape since he left. And now, instead of a single com pact organization with a struggling mi nority action unable to make much head way against It, Republicans are badly split and a dozen or more leaders are finding leadership a most difficult posi tion to attain. "Wilson controlled Republican politics In Spokane County so long as he remained here. For fifteen years he had been at the head of party affairs, yielding now and tben for the sake of harmony and placing' men on his tickets whom he had previous ly opposed. But there was no doubt of his control. If he ever came close to losing it that time come last year, when a portion of the ticket got away from him after being elected and another portion was beaten at the polls, possibly through disaffection. But in primaries and con ventions "Wilson's control was absolute. It has been Insisted that Wilson's con trol of Spokane politics was ruinous for the Republicans of the county, and there nave been repeated atempts to unseat him. "Whether his control has been a bad thing or not is a question that cannot be, definitely answered until Spokane Re publicans show what they are able to do without his influence. But "Wilson's polit ical enemies will have to acknowledge that he was not forced out of the leader ship In Spokane County. Ho remained In control until he saw fit to go to Seattle. Then he gave way and allowed others who had been fighting him to do whatever they saw fit, "WILson. Always a ItoKtilnr. Wilson's enemies never accused him of knifing a party ticket, and that may have been one secret of his success in Spo kane. But at the same time Wilson was never overzealous In his support of any Republican who had ever cut loose from the organization and supported an oppo sition nominee. This explains one reason for some of the "bitterness In Spokane politics. Spokane was one of the Washington counties most thoroughly inoculated with Bryanlsm in 1896, and the deflection from the Repub lican ranks was stronger here than In al most any other county In the state. The Republicans who wandered away In 1896 have been coming back; some of them were lined up with the old ticket two years later, and some have rejoined the Republcan workers comparatively recent ly. Wilson and his friends insisted these men should not take a prominent part In .party affairs at once. They announced that the doctrine of probationary service must rule, and much of .the unpleasant ness, In Spokane has been caused by rigor ously enforcing this rule. "VVTmt "Will Papers Dot While not committing themselves to Re publicanism, the newspapers of Spokane head a faction that Is attempting to control or to direct the reorganization of Spokane Republicans. This influence attempted a short time ago to secure the reappoint ment of Postmaster Temple. Wilson's friend Hartson was named. Hartson was. Incidentally, supported by a portion of the Washington Congressional delegation, but his success did not help the newspaper ln- fluenco much. The fight against W. H. Ivudden In the Spokane Land Office, made on behalf of Hal Cole, has the newspaper support and the Foster-Ankeny forces In the state have been lined up in the same way. Cole Is under a serious handicap, owing to charges that were preferred against him and the satisfaction felt with Xiudden's administration. It Is understood that Ludden Is to be retained In the Land Office. Whether he keeps that office or not the obstacles he has thrown in the way of Cole show that the newspaper Influence Is not one that can take Charge In Spo kane. It has been too easily beaten, and politicians do not rally to the support of powerless factors; Moore for Governor. It is likely that J. Z. ilooro will be a candidate for Governmor again, for his friends regard him now as a factor. Moore would like to control affairs. He tried to do so In 1900, but failed to get Into the county convention. His home precinct went against him and the committee on credentials hold that a proxy from an other precinct would not entitle him to a seat. 2doore"has friends in Spokane, but his Influence is not strong enough to" control affairs. Now and then rumors come that Col onel W. M. Rldpath, once prominently Identified with the "Tie Rol" crowd and a prominent .factor invtho free-silver fight of 1396, would try to 50 to Congress through a Republican nomination. Rld path was one of Turner's lieutenants in the latters Senatorial fight of 1S97. Two years later he reappeared at Olympla as one of the directors of the Ankeny cam paign. Ho was a Congressional possibil ity three years ago, but his boom did not lasf. Rldpath would like to rise to prom inence in Spokane politics. E. Sanders Is another member of the 'Le Rol" crowd of Republcans who joined what was known as the Silver Republican organization. He is now a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. Ho was ratherprom inent In the Silver Republican movement and has been a strong partisan In the anti-Wilson organization. Sanders will make a fight for indorsement for Lieutenant-Governor, and his candidacy adds to the complicated state of affairs here. Will Shaw is a candidate for State Treasurer, vThere has been little showing one way or the other made on the Shaw movement, though from outside sources comes an intimation that he has been confused with A, J. Shaw, a perennial candidate, who has never landed. Will Shaw is pretty well known, and his can aldacy may work out. ' Dick Hutchinson Again. Dick Hutchinson and Cyrus Happy are lorclng themselves to the front in an en deavor to get control of party affairs. Happy is president of the Rooosevelt Club, a political organization formed recently fwlth a view of uniting some of the fac tions and atemptlng to get Spokane Re publican affairs in shpe for the cam paign. Hutchinson, so far as Is known, is not worried at present by an ambition to fit -Into office. He is out after leadership. Hutchinson will be remembered by old politicians as a former Democratic State Senator from Lincoln County. He an nounced his conversion to Republicanism prior to the session of 1S95, but after ad journement he re-entered the Democratic party, and in 189C was a strong Populist. He has fluctuated back and forth until comparatively recently, when he became a Republican. Happy Is also a former sll- C- l&?,gn(1 a possible proprietor of a forlal boom. He went astray in the Bryan campaign and is accused of having voted against McKlnley and Roosevelt In 1900. Ho failed to get into the last Republican convention, and an nounced a "bolt. The McBrlde affairs in Spokane County are in the hands of Frank Post and Charles Lund, With newspaper influence contributing to the cause. Post is a prom inent attorney, but in a fight has shown a tendency to grow excited too easily to give him force as a leader. Lund Is a young man .without a great deal of expe dience In politics, and neither Post nor Lund have ever gone through a campaign where practical politics was the basis of a successful outcome. It is insisted in their behalf that neither would continue a fight after the convention, but if Mc Brlde ever carries Spokane County it will be on account of hlB own personal strength. Minor Politicians at Sen, Without Wilson present to direct affairs and Wlson says his hands are off Spo kane affairs his former lieutenants are without a head. Of course they would profit in a fight by the disorganized con dition of the opposition. Heretofore the Issue has been a straight Wilson or antl Wllson struggle, but now the an Us havo their own troubles with conflicting ambi tions for either leadership or office, and this naturally would aid even an Inexperi enced sot of men to pull out. But there is no head now to the Wilson forces. A. B. Campbell might rise to that height, or tho Wilson men might center behind H. D. Crow, who wants to sit on the Supreme Court bench. Crow has a good reputation throughout the state as an attorney and headed the judiciary committee In tho last State Senate. The control of tho Senate, however, belonged to forces op posed to him and his Influence suffered for that reason. It is nrobable the Wilson forces will depend somewhat upon D. T. Rockwell, David Ham and Harry Rosonhaupt in the next line-up- These men have served well in a close organization, but they are with out experience Jn directing a fight. As a matter of fact Spokane County Is the, prey of all Republican factions' am bitions to control In state affairs. It has recently been visited by scores of poli ticians eager to beat matters Into shape, but chaos Is still supreme. TACKLES "BILLY" SMITH. John Dalley Knocks Down the ex Prlreflffhter. "Mysterious Billy" Smith, the fighter, who once occupied columns of space In tho newspapers, went down last night be fore a much smaller man. He was taken unawares, to be sure, but the ex-pugilist was put to his best. Just the same. Smith, with many otherswere watching Officers Gibson and "Anderson send a man who had been fighting in a Burnslde-street saloon to the police station. John Dalley, a small, wiry man with a little too much firewater on board, declared that he would go along. He was shoved off the back of the patrol wagon. When he reached tho curb he took one look at Smith and cried to the officers that here was tho man who had hit him on the nose. "Why, your nose is all right," 6ald Gib son, and turned away. v Smith started up Burnslde street, after having laughed at Dalley's statement. Just a dozen feet from the two officers Dalley stepped in front of "Mysterious Billy" Smith and struck him a blow in the face with all his might. Down went the champion of many bat tles. Dalley stuck to him, though Smith was slowly righting himself and hitting Dalley, when the policeman tore tho cat like Dalley from him. While tho officers were sitting upon Dailey, Smith walked over and kicked him as he lay. The patrol wagon hastily returned and took Dalley, tho aggressor, to the lock-up. RefnseH to Give Up and Ix Shot. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Oct 18. C. B. Brown, a traveling workman, was held up and shot at Toppenlsh Sunday night. G. D. Williams Is in Jail charged with the crime. Brown came from Bllensburg and had $2S0 in his pockets. Instead of getting off at this place, as he Intended, he went on to Toppenlsh on a freight. When he got off two men came up and engaged him in conversation. After a few words, Williams drew a revolver and told Brown to hand over his money. Brown protested and started to run, Williams fired at him. Tho bullet took effect In the rear of the rlghthlp and lodged in the bowels. It is thought the Injuries will prove fatal. Williams was caught in bed in tho Toppenlsh Hotel. Ho was Identified by Brown. Incendiary Fire. An Incendiary who wanted to see a blaco set fire to a pile of wood in the yard of tho Nlcolal mills at Second and Gllsan streets last evening. The firemen had to pull aside the timbers to drench the blaze. Little damage was done. There seems little doubt of the firebug origin. SERVANT PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED "WOMEN'S DOMESTIC GUILD IS FORMED AND $50,000 IS TO BE GIVEN IN PRIZES r sr New York American. Determined to solve the servant problem at all hazards, and with the avowed in tention of giving $50,000 in prizes to tho servants who come up to expectations, tho Women's Domestic Guild has been formed, with some of the best-known so ciety women In New York City at Its head. Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs. Clarence Burns, Mrs. Charles B. Sprague, Mrs. Joseph Healey, of No. 143 Madison avenue, are some of those who arc doing the pre liminary work and who declare that by trying to solve the servant problem they are really working xor the home, for If conditions are not changed people will bo less and less inclined to keep house. To show that the guild Is not trying to solve the problem without having studied conditions, It is declared that two well -known young society girls went to an em ployment agency ana oocunoa positions as waitresses, the employers in both cases be ing equally well known among the nou veaux riches. When one of the glrla arrived at her new home she was told that for the time being she would have to put a mattress in the bathtub and sleep there, while the other was obliged to camp out on an ironing-board. It Is needless to say that they both7 left the next day. In addition to tho other Interesting plans, it is proposed to have a headquar ters both for the members of the guild and the servants, that It is Intended that all women who get servants through the guild and agree to give them certain days off Bhall live tip to tho agreement. It is also said that at the big meeting that Is to bo held in December at the Waldorf, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and Mrs. Grover Cleveland will be invited to appear and contribute, as home women, their views on thisouestlon. Mrsfjoseph Healey, the secretary of the guild, thus describes the conditions that have brought about the formation of the new society, and what it prop"oses to do: "The everlasting servant-girl question," sho says, "always a mcter of serious Im port to housekeepers in this country, has recently attained a gravity which makes it positive National menace. The in creasing scarcity of really good domestic servants is disrupting thousands of homes In NewYork and other cities and compell ing distracted householders to take refuge in tho apartment hotels which are spring ing up on every hand. The sanctity and privacy of home life are thus being stead ily destroyed, and the familiar saying that 'Franco Is a country without homes' threatens to become fully as applicable to conditions here. "Owing, to the incompetency of serv ant girls, housekeepers, too,, are com pelled more and more to buy cooked food for their tables. The growth of tho delicatessen business in recent years has been startling. Many families live al most continuously on ham and potato salad, which is usually kept in an ice box two or threo days until It is abso- IT GROWS TOO FAST Railroads Cannot Keep Up With Business. GREAT IMPROVEMENTS MADE Uarrimnn Lines Have Spent $42r O00,000 in Three Tenrs in This Manner, lnt Pacific States Business Exceeds Capacity. According to an official, statement that has been issued by. tho Harriman system more than 52.000,000""has been spent In the last three years for the improvement of the Southern Pacific lines. Yet with all this outlay of money the facilities' of tho system are still inadequate to handle the business of tho Pacific Coast. This fact is especially noticeable In Qregon and Cali fornia at the present time. Shippers are calling every day for more cars to move their material, but the railroad has to answer that it has not tho equipment to meet the demands. As a consequence there is a congestion in the shipping mar ket all along the Coast branch, and ther railroad men are working overtime trying to figure a way around tho situation. The expenditure of this amount of money on a line. It would seem, should put it in condition to handle almost any amount of traffic. But in the case of the Southern Pacific it has not. The reason? It is the phenomenal increase in business industries of the Coast district, is the answer of tho railroad men. The country has developed and Industries have grown with a far greater rapidity than was over expected. and at a pace that has greatly outstripped the increase in facilities of the railroad, When the Improvements made on the road are considered in detail, the Inadequacy of the Improved road to handle the business offered proves that the strides forward made by this section in the industrial ranks are remarkable. The increase In output is estimated to be about 25 per cent or more, and the beam of the scale is still going up. A perusal of what has been done to im prove the road and enlarge Its capacity will givo some idea as to how business has grown. To begin with, in the lost three years Just $4Z,9S0,353 was spent on the Southern Pacific system, as follows: Betterments, 520,452,218; equipment, $22,518,123. Tho state ment says that over 60,000.000 tons of steel have been put Into the Southern Paclflo lines, making a continuous string of steel bridges of the finest construction from Ashland, Or., to Houston, Tex. New freight cars to the number of 15,616 have been purchased, and a large number of them have been put Into service on the Oregon & California -branch of tho line. Three hundred and thirty-seven new en gines have been put Into service. These new cars and engines, if put in a line, would make a train 122 miles long. Between Ashland and San Francisco 33 steel bridges have been built and remod eled. The machine shops of tho road. located in this city, have been installed in the past three years. Improvements in the line of precautions against accidents include the establish' ment of the block signal system over 279 miles of the line. With all these additional cars and en gines and other Increased facilities, the Southern Pacific is not able to handle tho business It has that Is, the Coast branch. Is not handling tho output of Oregon and California In a manner that Is satisfac tory. An official of the road, in discussing this situation, said: "We can't handle the business e Imply because it has Increased so rapidly and to such an extent that wo haven't the cars to haul the freight. The road has Increased Its facilities, but busi ness has grown more rapidly and out stripped us. This is certainly a good lndl cation that this section is developing at a marvelous rate." PR.OMOTIOX FOR HAXNAFORD. Chosen to Succeed Mellen as Presl dent of Northern Pacific. A report has reached this city, and it is said to be authentic, to the effect that J. M. Hannaford will be made acting president of the Northern Pacific upon the retirement of President Mellen. Mr. Hannaford is now vice-president, and his succession to the higher office would be in the natural course of events. Among the local railroad men the re port is accepted as authentic, and all seem to be xjf the opinion that a better man luieiy unnt to do eaten. The servant question Is, therefore, not only break ing up tne American home, but serving 10 ureoK aown tne national health. "The question of where to obtain real ly competent domestic servants, and wnen confronts every American homo to- aay. iu is a question that has become extremely difficult to cope with. Good servants are rapidly becoming more and more scarce, wages are advancing. On the other hand, tho demand for compe tent domestic help has reached enormous proportions. "One authoritiy believes that tho op- porcunicy to engage In other branches or labor airordlng more freedom. Is tak. Ing thousands of girls out of the domes tic field. He sarcastically adds: "There Is nothing mysterious in the diminution of tho number of people eager to work sixteen nours a .day In other people's Kiicnens ana sleep eight hours a night ia ouier people s oacK garrets." "Tho newspapers only last week pub lished an account of a co-operative nousenoia started in Brooklyn by 50 fam ilies tired of the porlpatetic servant girl her exits and entrances. All tho women connected with this co-operative scheme told harrowing stories of their experi ences. "One of tho principal objects of tho guild will be to stlmulato efficiency and Industry among servants, and endeavor to remove tho stigma attaching to domes tic service. With this object hi view, the guild will register competent serv ants and provide them with situations and encourage them to take pride In their work instead of regarding it as so much drudgery. As a direct Incentive tho guild will devote a large sum to prizes, which will bo offered to servants who remain In their places for one year and earn tho recommendations of their employ ers. Larger prizes will bo offered for those remaining steadily employed for longer periods. "Arrangements have beon made by the guild for the establishment of a training school for servants under the manage ment of experienced housekeepers, thus enabling girls to become competent in every branch of domestic work. A cul inary department under competent chefs will also be conducted. "A dressmaking department will also bo opened with a room In which dress makers may display models of gowns and seamstresses show specimens of their work, so that patrons may judge as to their capabilities. Each of theso de partments will bo In charge of ex perts. "Another excellent work to be perform ed by the guild will be tho establish ment of club rooms for servant girls in different parts of the city and suburbs. Servants registered by the guild will ha.va free admittance to these rooms, which will be supplied with good - literature. This wilkglve them pleasant places in which to spend an occasional evening." for the place could not bo secured. All are anxious to see him secure the pro motion. Mr. Hannaford has been with the North ern- Pacific "sinco Its Inception and has worked his way up from the bottom. For that reason. It Is argued that ho is .best fitted for the position. ? 1 Brln Bis Conventions "Went. A circular letter addressed to the va rious railroad representatives In this city has been receded from Thomas Rich ardson, of New Orleans,- chairman of the executive committee of the T nans-Missis sippi Commercial Congress, in which he urges that tne raiiroaa men get togetner and take some steps" towards securing as many conventions for the far Western cities as possible Tho letter calls atten tion to tho "benefits to the road3 not only of this section but of tho whole country and tho results that will come to tho cities and country traversed by these conven tion delegates. Mr. Richardson states that he had a consultation with the Denver. Chamber of Commerce In rela tion to the matter and found that the cities of that section of the country were all willing that the convention should go further West, realizing, that: they would reap- "benefits from the travel" through them. Burlington's Earnings Increase. CHICAGO, Oct. 19. The annual report of the Chicago, "Burlington & Qulncy Railroad for tho year-ending June 20, just Issued, shows an increase In gross earn-, ings of $$,843,134, and In net earnings of $3,9S3,52S. Tho surplus was increased by $3,223,149. The report calls attention, to the fact that the length of the road op erated June 20 was S324 miles, as against S124 at the end of the preceding fiscal year. Another "Wire Is Seeded, In order to handle tho increased tele graphic business from points along its line, the Columbia Southern road Is en deavoring to secure another telegraph wire between Portland and Biggs. The matter has been laid before the telegraph company and it has been promised that another wire would bo strung. At present only one wlro Is In use and the business of the road has Increased to such an ex tent that it Is inadequate to handle the communications that should go by wire. Railroad Xotcn. Peter Harvey, Pacific Coast agent of tho B. & O. Railroad at San Francisco, was in Portland yesterday. C. E. Robb, general ticket agent of the Soo line, spent yesterday .in tho city. LOST IN THE LAVA BEDS. Arizona Party Becomes Separated From Two of Ita Members. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz,, Oct. 19. Two well known young people, Leo "Verkamp, of Flagstaff, and Miss Mabel Brown, of Chicago, became separated from their party at Sunset Crater, In the lava beds, 20 miles northeast of Flagstaff, Sunday afternoon, and up to the present time no trace of them has been found. A party was made up for a trip to Sun set Crater in honor of Miss Brown, who is visiting her brother. They reached their destination .safely, and after some time spent In exploring the crater, started to return, verkamp and Miss Brown were on horseback In advance of the remainder of the party, who were driving. This was the last seen of tho couple. Those in the rig went home, thinking the couple on horseback were in advance, A searching party was put all night, but failed to locate tho missing, and returned at 10 o'clock this morning for reinforce ments. Several large posses were- at onco started to the vlcmlty. Word reached here tonight that the missing couple had been found at a ranch. IS miles northwest of Flagstaff, on the opposite sido of: the Snn Francisco Peake, from their starting point, and about 50 miles out of their way. In losing the road they became confused and followed tho mountains to the right instead of to the left. Thoy spent the entlro night traveling:. and were nearly exhausted from .exposure ana thirst. It is feared that the expert enco will yet result seriously with Miss Brown, who has recently recovered from a sick spell. Little Hope for Charles M. Patterson, Caring Httlo for life, now that his aged wlfo Is dead, Charles M. Patterson, In jured in tho East Portland fire of Satur day night, lies in St. Vincent's Hos pital, with little hope of his recovery His injuries were not so serious by far as those of his wife, but the shock, to gether with the burns, seems more than the old man s constitution can bear.

Carson, employed at the Portland Lumber Company, foot of Lin coln street, and who resides at 365 First street, says: "I -wds feeling miserable with a depressing lameness around tho small of my bat c nil last Summer. At flrst I did not pay much attention to It. but 1 -continued to grow worso, and Anally became so bad that I thoug'.c 1 would havo to lay off work. To bend or move quickly caused sever twinges. I was often attacked with dizzy spells, specks appeared ' t fore my eyes, and I had no ambition or energy. In the morning-1 ar js as tired as when I went to bed. In fact, I had all the symptoms of a very severe case of kidney trouble. When I was suffering tho worst I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, and procured a box at the Laue-Davls Drug Company's store. I soon noticed an improvement In my condi tion and the pain and aching across my back foon disappeared. About six weeks ago I was laid up with a siege of the grip for two weeks. Symptpms of kidney complaint made their aopearance again, and I resorted to Doan's Kidney Pills a second time. They just as thor oughly freed me of the trouble as In the former case. I cannot ex press what a change they have made In me. 1 simply feel like a dif ferent person." r THE WASHINGTON ' SEATTLE THE SCENIC HOTE& OF THR.WQRkQJ- Seattle's most prominent arehiteeturglX feature being situated upon thailgh- V ' est point of land In the downtown district 300 feet above sea level.
