Relying on. the theory that the direct primary nominating law does not apply t- municipal elections that may be held prjcr to the registration of 1905, the re tirements of that measure are not being f '.lowed In the.nomlnatiou of candidates for Mayor and other municipal officers for the city election that will bo held Monday, December 5. The Oregon City charter, however, requires the filing of petitions on the Wednesday before the day of election with ,the City Recorder by each candidate, whether he be nomi nated by a city convention, mass meet ing or by petition. City Chairman E. P. Rands "today issued a call for a Republican city convention to be held at Willamette Hall Wednesday evening, November 16. J. U. CampbeH will be the nominee of the convention for Mayor, and a. "platform will be adopted lvlaring against a perpetual franchise p-d favoring the Immediate building of the South End road. Dr. E. A. Sommer'e friends today began t ie circulation- of petitions nominating him as candidate for Mayor on a citi zens' ticket He opposes the perpetual franchise and favors the completion of the South End road. This division of the anti-perpetual franchise strength between Campbell and Sommer will undoubtedly result In the naming of a franchise can didate by the people in the South End of the city, who might be able to elect their man In view of the warm contest that is in prospect between Campbell and Sommer. For City Treasurer, F. J. Meyers, the present Incumbent, will be a candidate to succeed himself, and It does not appear that he will be- opposed. The offices of Chief of -Police, night police officers. Street CommleIoner. Recorder and City. Attorney are appointive by the Mayor or elective by the Council, and the election of either of the candidates for Mayor Is certain to result in some changes In the personnel of the city's minor officers. A petition asking EL P. Storey to be a. candidate for Councilman to succeed him self from the First Ward was also circu lated today. FATHER VERSUS FAMILY. Wife and Children of C. F. Horn Vant Him Adjudged Insane. , OREGON CITT. Nov 14. (Special;) A second attempt to have Charles F.

With the exception of Dr. W. E. Carll. the fam ily physician, who testified that at times the- man might be considered Insane, -they were the only witnesses to testify. 9Mr. -Horn was represented by U'Bren & Scheu- beL The wife, two daughters arid a. son' stated on the witness stand that they feared their father, but in "the course of the examination, which was conducted be fore Judge Ryan and Drs. E. -A. Sommer and I. J. Wolf, It developed that the do mestic relations of the Horns are not the most .pleasant, the children taking the mother's part. On the showing that Horn was able at all times to take care of his business affaire and that he was not to be considered a dangerous man, Judge Ryan continued the hearing for two weeks, re leasing Mr. Horn on his own recogniz ance In the -meantime. KEEP OUT OF POLITICS. Order Issued by Salem Mayor to4 Em ployes of City. SALEM, Or., Noy. 14. (Special.) Mayor Waters created a stir In local political circles today by issuing an order forbid ding city employes to take an actlve'part in the Republican primary election, either In favor of or against any candidate for a nomination. This does not preclude vot ing, but extends only to a prohibition of espousing the cause of any candidate. The city campaign has been vigorously conducted in the last two or three "days, and it was charged that city employes were becoming too prominent In the fight. Mayor Waters was not personally Inter ested, for he is the only candidate for the nomination for Mayor, but the order chiefly affects the contest for City Mar shal. The direct primary ejection, which will be held tomorrow afternoon, will be entirely under the control of Republican party managers, and the expenses will be mot by the Republican City Central Com mittee. In this respect the manner of conducting the primary election differs from the method provided for in the state direct primary law adopted last June, which placed the expense upon the public HELPS UNCLE SAM'S LINE. Seattle Merchants Continue War Against Telegraph Company. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 14. The lat est move in the rate war between the Dominion Telegraph Company and the Government cable system Is the or ganization of local business men to "boost" business on the Government line. A large number of the business and commercial houses of Seattle doing business with Alaska arc about to bring the matter before the Chamber of Commerce, and It is probable that decided action will be taken by that body toward increasing commercial business over the American cable.

LONG CREEK, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) During the past two days no further arrests of the members of the stock-thief gang have been reported. The supposed leaders, for whom warrants are out, are still at large, either In the mountains near here or In some other Inaccessible place to which they fled. Sentries are still posted in various roads and trails, and If they have not already" escaped, these illegal stock operators are almost cer tain of capture.

Secretary of State. prevailed. Stockmen have lost almost their entire herds of range horses, and more recently their flocks of sheep, and cattle are being driven off or slaughtered In large numbers. While these thlng3 have been known all along, and while the guilty persons were suspected. In some Instances practically known, owners of the stock quietly waited for evidence against them to develop. This evidence 13 said now to be. In the possession of thoroughly reliable witnesses who saw a prominent young stockman burying the heads and hides of two beeves. This evldonce was later uncov ered, and the earmarks and brands were those of a neighboring stockgrower. Pa pers for the arrest of the stockman and his supposed confederates -were issued. and the present large force of special of ficers Is striving to apprehend the crim inals. The difficulties arc increased by the custom of stockmen and cowboys, sup posed to be sanctioned by law, of driving all stock they find with their own off the range to a corral. Many owners have thus been forced to stand Idly by and see their stock bunched up and driven off bofore their very eyes without power to Interfere. The horses intended to be event ually stolen are soon transferred Into other hands, while the one who drove them from their range returns and states that he turned them out again. The stock rapidly passes through so many hands and is driven so far away that either their return or the conviction. If any, of the rustlers, is next to Impossible. In one instance a 22-year-old horse belonging to one of the largest owners in the county. was taken off his range, the brand changed, his tall docked and other mu illations made. He was then ridden al most to death and turned Out to die. Later ho returned to his old range. One of the supposed gang Is now in jail awaiting the term of the Circuit Court. Thls is 10-year-old George Elliott, whose direct -testimony at the preliminary hear ing Implicates other young men. An other of the alleged stock thieves is ari other 16-year-old boy, James Macl, more recently arrested. Excitement and activity still continues and the determination of the officials to round up the gang is universally ap proved among stockmen and business men.

N. Smith. The fight is now as nearly on old fac tional lines as It Is possible to Dlace It. and the result tomorrow night will be a fair representation of the relative strength of the two factions.

An accident brought the test flight of the Francois air ship to an abrupt termination today after the flying machine had been in the air 13 minutes, during which Its dirlgiblllty was not satisfactorily demonstrated, owing, as the inventor stated, to the absence of the rudder.

CONTESTS IN JACKSON COUNTY Neither Prohis or Saloon Men Are Satisfied With Result. MEDFORD, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) -The result of the prohibition vote in Jackson County has not given satisfac tion to either party. The prohis have secured the services of Attorneys C. B. Watson, of Ashland, and Mr. C. E. J. McCalllster, of Portland, and have taken steps to -contest the election in three or four precincts of the county that voted "wet." Those who are opposed to prohibition go the prohis one better and contest the election in each precinct of the countj. Attorneys "V. I. Vawter, of Medford, and Hon. William M. Colvl of Jacksonville, represent this -wing of the fight. The prohis allege In their notice contest that in certain "wet" precincts persons voted in violation of section four of the local option liquor law; that is. many persons voted on the question who were not qualified to vote for precinct officers in the precincts In -which they did vote, and hence were disqualified from voting upon the question. Those opposed to prohibition admit the truth of the statement and allege In their notice of contest that such llle gal votes were cast In every precinct of the county, and they further allege that, as there was but one ballot box at each polling place, there Is no way to determine the exact result of the election. The leading contestants are men en gaged in the liquor business in incor porated towns of the county, and it is claimed by them that the law under which they are now selling Is a special law granted by the Legislature to the corporation and that this special law has not been repealed by the general law, neither expressly nor by impli cation Many voters were brought in from country precincts where tho question did not cut any figure, and were in duced to vote on the auestlon In the towns, and there being no separate bal lot box. the result Is rendered Inde terminate.

(SpecIaL) Prohibition and license advocates in Jackson County seem to be generally willing to have the election in this county last week on prohibition de clared no election by the County Court, as this is the object of legal measures that have been taken In the past few days by both sides. It Is maintained that in all or nearly all precincts there were illegal votes cast on the prohibi tion, because separate boxes for ballots cast by resident and non-resident vot ers of precincts were not kept by the election officers and many who voted for President outsldo of their resident precincts voted without right In- .such precincts on the local option question. In Ashland one precinct went "wot" and the throwing out of the entire vote would gratify the prohibition element here, which dominates two precincts. rn the other hand. In Medford. where one precinct went "dry" the declara tion of "no election- in tne wu counts would be pleasing to the license element which predominates in that town.
