Has Something to Say
of the Police.
HIS ANSWER TO A TOAST
In Few Days He Will Declare
Himself,
HE SPEAKS AT THE REVIEW
After Reception to Oregon National
Guard the General Makes a State- -ment
From Which Infer
ence Is Drawn.
HIGH PRAISE FOB. THE GUARD.
"What do I think of the Oregon Na
tlenal Guard? It Is magnificent." said
General Constant Willfame, last night,
after the review and inspection. "I
waa particularly struck with the appear
ance of the men, the manner In which
they went through the- manual of arms
and also the perfect manenr in which
they went through the ceremony of pa
rade and review. I cannot give these
boys too much praise, and I was aston
ished to find that they could conduct
themselves as a body so perfectly in
such a confined epacc. You can say for
me that, compared with the various
state mllltla bodies I have met. they
are equal to the beet In this country, and
that In no mean distinction. To sum
up your state troops, they are simply
splendid In every way, and I am pleased
to say eo."
"I cannot say that it was expected of or
even intimated to me that I should say
anything of the Portland Police Depart
ment in responding to this toast. To tell
the truth, I have nothing to eay tonight
In regard to the police, but I will say
that within the next few days I will have
a great deal to eay. Alter the mass of
evidence and testimony which has been
submitted to stain the character of Port
land's Police Department has been sifted
out, I expect to say something in a ring
ing voice, and' the reason for these re
marks is to be found in the training I
have received through military disci
pline." The foregoing remarks made by General
Charles P. Beebe, in response to a toast
made by Colonel Gantenbeln formed a
feature of gathering together of the Port
land companies of the Third Infantry, O.
N. G., unknown to the throng that wit
nessed the maneuvers of last night's quar
terly inspection.
Inspection of Troops.
The occasion was not only the quar
terly inspection of the troops, but a re
view by General Constant "Williams and
a farewell reception to Colonel Joseph F.
Huston and the officers of the Nineteenth
Infantry as well.
Last night's inspection of the Portland
troops was one of the most notable events
In the city's military career. Witnessed
by General Williams and his staff. Colonel
Joseph F. Huston and 32 officers of the
Nineteenth Infantry and at least 1500 of
their admirers, the Portland boys
marched into the drillhall of the Armory
not only with the pomp and glory of a
ceremony, but the martial bearing of true
soldiers. The ceremonies of the evening
consisted of a dress parade, a review by
Generaf Williams, followed by the inspec
tion. Praise the Portland Men.
Of the work of the Portland men Colo
nel Huston had to say:
"I was really surprised to see the Third
Infantry tonight. I had them under me
at American Lake, and thought I knew
something about them, but when I see the
" contracted space they have to work in
at home, I can only say it is wonderful.
The boys did splendidly and cannot be
complimented too highly. Another thing
I would say is in regard to the officers.
The ceremony gone through tonight Is a
' common thing in the Army, but never
have I seen the officers come to front
and center so magnificently as yours did
tonight."
Following this compliment Colonel Hus
ton said of the Oregon "National Guard In
his response to a toast proposed during
' the reception:
"On three or four occasions I have had
to compliment this regiment, and on each
occasion I said all I could. I knew that
tonight I would be asked to say some
thing more, but after lying awake all
night I find that I cannot say anything
hut what might make you mad. Tou of
llcers who are here will remember that
In our first battle at American Lake last
year I was against you and we beat you.
Next day, however, you were placed un
der my command, and then we beat all
the other fellows. About the only thing I
want to say is that this reminds me of a
story I heard once. There was a fellow
who was a General, Colonel. Major or
something else during the Civil War, and
he was appointed in the Imlon Army. He
had a good many relatives In the Confed
erate portion of the country who wanted
to get him on their side. During one of
the fiercest battles he was found by somo
of his Southern friends fighting wllojy on
the Union side. When asked to come
over to the Southern side, his only reply
was: 'Well, I am fighting here, but you
Just wait until they accept my resigna
tion. Then 111 quit them.' That, gentle
men, will be my excuse on our first day
at American Lake for fighting against
such an excellent body as the Oregon
National Guard. I can only say that it
Is with a great deal of regret that my
officers and myself leave for the Pinip
plnes." Compliments Police Department.
Following Colonel Huston, General
Beebe was called upon in response to
a toast, in which he made tlje state
ment regarding the present police In
vestigation. After the remarks of
General Beebe. Colonel Huston took
the .liberty of making another speech.
In which he paid high tribute to the
Portland and Vancouver police depart
ment. He stated that in his 32 years'
experience as a commissioned officer
in the United States army he had never
found two cities so willing to aid the
War Department or the enlisted men
of the army. "In my experience of two
years, here." he said. "I must say that
so far as I know the only times that
any men of my command have "been
arrested Is when they have forced the
officer to make the arrest. I have
found invariably that the. Police De
partment has always endeavored to
protect and to take care of the soldiers-
whenever they got a little bit
foolish, and I do not hesitate to isa
hat thev were derelict In their duty
-because -they only made arrests- when
our men forced the matter. I -wish to
say to you now. General Beebe, thati
not only on behalf or myseii, duc my
officers and my men. that I "wish to
thank the Portland -Police Department
for the way In which they have treat'
ed our erring1 soldiers."
This was answered by a feeling re
sponse from General Beebe, In which
he said that this was the first compli
ment that he had ever known to be
paid the officers and the men of the
Portland Police Department.
During last night's ceremonies orders
were read calling for the presence of
the troops on April 1 as an escort for
the Nineteenth Infantry when they
leave for Manila,
Under the present arrangements the
Nineteenth will arrive In Portland by.
8:30 A. M. on April 1, and they will,
under the escort of the Oregon Na
tional Guard, parade the' principal
streets of Portland. The Nineteenth
will sail from Portland at noon of the
1st.
While the reception was given the
Officers of the regulars the enlisted
men of the Portland Infantry enter
tained their friends and guests In
dancing.
HE A SOU FOE CUTTING AFFRAY
Because Fug! Testified Against Him
Hanoaka Stabbed Japanese.
It was the testimony of L. Fugi that
sent Sakutaro Hanoaka to the Oregon
penitentiary for one year, and that was
why he stabbed Fugi, disemboweling him,
at an early hour last Monday morning.
This important fact was brought to light
yesterday by Detectives Hartman and
Vaughn, who have charge of the case and
who are now bending their energies to
locate the assailant.
At St. Vincent's Hospital, where Fugi
was removed after the cutting, the In
jured Japanese Is much improved. It is
now thought probable he will recover. At
first It was believed that death was cer
tain, but the vitality of the victim has
"been such that he Is now said to have
a chance for his life.
Hanoaka, the assailant, stabbed a man
in Astoria, nearly two years ago. Fugi
witnessed it, and gave strong testimony.
Since then he has been a bitter enemy of
the ex-convict, and at the first meeting
the cutting took place. It was at a ban
quet la a building at Fourth and Flanders
streets.
A Japanese, answering the descrip
tion of Sakutaro Hanoaka, wanted
here for assault with intent to kill L.
Fugi, was arrested by the City Mar
shal of Harrisburg last night. There Is
believed to be no doubt as to his Iden
tity, and Detective Hartman will leave
this morning for the purpose of bring
ing him back for trial.
CALLS ARBITRATION FAILURE
Ohio Manufacturer Urges Employers
to Fight Union Demands.
CHICAGO, March 24. Manufacturers
and other employers of labor were ad
vised at today's convention of the Na
tional Metal Trades Association that. their
best Interests lay In opposing- all Idea
of compulsory arbitration. The principal
address along this line was made by J.
Kirby, Jr., of Dayton, O.
"Arbitration has proved a failure over
and over again," Mr. Kirby declared. "If
I am held up for my belongings and I re-
zuse to surrender them, why should I
submit the question to arbitration and
take any chances of having to surrender
half of what I have; then the next hold
up to surrender half of what I have left,
and so on until everything I ever had is
gone?"
Mr. Kirby's address urged on employ
ers the necessity of fighting without com
promise labor union demands.
The question of the attitude of the as
sociation toward the nine-hour move
ment begun last year by the machinists
was discussed at length, but no action was
taken, the question being referred for
settlement to the administrative council
of the organization.
Ohio Society Gathering.
One hundred former residents of Ohio
gathered last night at the Pythian
Hall, in the Marquam building, to hold
the annual meeting of the Ohio State
Society and elect officers for the com
ing year.
The election of officers resulted In
the re-election of Judge "W. M. Cake as
president and Dr. Emmet Drake as first
vice-president; J. W. Bell was elected
second vice-president, "W. B. Chase
third, Mrs. Prichard fourth and " Mrs.

dition, as shown by the report of the
treasurer, and has, a membership of
approximately 450.

Association, will meet this morning in the
castroom at 11 o'clock. Examples of
Greek sculpture of the fourth century.

hibit of original prints by Jean Francois
Millet, now hung In the lecture-room. The
collection Includes exceptionally fine Im
pressions, most of the etchings, litho

an -unusual opportunity to study the art
of this master.
Three Women Arrested.
Irene Crawford, Katie Gray and Beat
rice Lerols, colored, were arrested last
night on the complaint of Meatarl Caklo,
a Japanese, who claimed they robbed him
of 55. The women live on Flanders street.
It is said they enticed the Japanese into
the house and in a friendly scuffle robbed
him of the money. The charge of lar
cony will he preferred against the women

The following table shows the new

January 1 to December 31, 1904:
Pacific Coast Vill Bs Especially For
tunate In New Lines and Exten
sions of Old Ones to
Many Points.-
The year 1905 promises to be a lively
one In the railroad world, and already
contracts which have been postponed or
have been dormant or months are begin
ning to show new life and prospect of
commencement.
Throughout the Northwest are spring
ing rumors which each day seem to be of
more definite character that large proj
ects are being planned for this part of the
Union and that the year wilt see gr&t
things happen. The railroads,, through
their managements, say nothing unless it
is to deny the stories of immediate con
struction, yet these denials do not seem
to discourage those who have made up
their minds that the time is ripe for the
resumption of constructive work aban
doned years ago.
Out of all this mass of conjecture, how
ever, can be gleaned a list of new projects
and extensions, not only In the Northwest
but throughout the whole United States
and Canada, some of which are under
contract, .some admitted to be authorized
and all showing that the steel bands so
much needed to bind together the varied
Interests of the country are 4o be sup
plied to the extent of thousands of miles.
Many Contracts Let.
In 1904 there was a falling off of more
than 1500 miles of new track completed
in the United States In comparison with
the year before, but this year promises
to make up the deficit. The work of last
year was devoted In great part to the
completion of work already begun, but
now fresh life Is coming Into the busi
ness and contracts are being let througll
out the country for new projects of differ
ent magnitude.
It is shown in the Railway Age of March
24 that there are now 7500 miles of" new
track under contract or construction,
while live projects In different parts of
tho United States promise the early con
struction of an additional 9332 miles of
road. Of these two 'classes the Pacific
States claim 933 miles under contract or
construction and 2000 miles projected.
Every state and territory is represented
in the list of extensions, with the excep
tion of two or three New England States.
The mileage will be as widely distributed
as it has been in the past, though the
larger percentage of extension will be "in
the Southern and Southeastern States.
The roads considered under the head of
live projects include the entire line of the
Western Pacific from San Francisco to
Salt Lake City, more than $00 miles In
length; 294 miles of the Denver. North
western &. Pacific, and 220 miles of the
Berlin cut-off of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, In New Mexico.

In Canada, also, the construction pros
pects for 1905 are very bright. The Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway is to add 3500 miles
of new road to its lines, to stretch from
Moncton, N. B.. west via Quebec and
Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast, probably
at Port Simpson. This main line will he
approximately 3200 miles, and to It will be
added a branch line to Lake Superior oi
220 miles.
The construction of more than 1700 miles
of this line from Winnipeg to Port Simp
son Is said to have been awarded to Uni
ted States contracting firms, and the work
will be rushed to completion as rapidly
as possible.
The Canadian Northern has under con
struction more than 1000 miles of new
track in Manitoba and the Northwest,
and has various other extensions under
contemplation.
Altogether, it is expected In railroad
circles that 1905 will see a general revival
in the matter of .construction, and It
would appear that out of the whoe mass
the Northwest would get Its share of the
spoils.
SPAR FOR TIME
All Candidates Play a Waiting
Game,
EACH STRIVES FOR VANTAGE
Albee's Rivals Want Him 'to Commit
Himself, and Coaxing Commit
tee Tries to Get Dr.
Lane's Consent.
Republican rivals of Mayor Williams
are awaiting for one another to enter the
primaries, some fearing to encounter His
Honor alone In the nominating contest,
and others hoping that the aspirants who
shall fight him for the nomination will be
killed off. thereby opening the way for
themselves to run as Independents.
Boomers of H. R. Albee'. George H.
Howell. Fred T. Merrill. H. S. Rowe.
William A. Storey, Ralph W. Hoyt and
others find their candidates in the anxious
class, desirous of avoiding the nominating
contest with Williams, lest they go in
single-handed and less courageous
brethren profit by their defeat.
On all sides It Is believed even by re
formers that Williams can beat his rivals
easier In the primaries than in the elec
tion; hence the reformers are unwilling
to let their champions, like Albee and
Howell, run the risk of being slaughtered
In the primaries.
Want Albee to Declare Hlmsel
All the opponents of Williams are wait
ing on Albee to declare his plans
whether he purposes to go Into the prl
'maries or to stay out. Should he stay
out It looks as If the others would do so,
too. and that Williams would have no op
position for the nomination. Backers of
Williams are already declaring that they
expect to see- their man nominated with
out a fight.
What will Albee do? He says that his
mind Is made Up. but that he will not
announce his purpose yet awhile. If he
has resolved to go into the primaries he
has heard many protests from, his
friends in the. last few days. Tet if he
plans to run Independently, why did ho
come out so soon? That Is a constantly
recurring question in gossiping circles.
klf he" shall now stay out of the primaries.
will not people say that he was afraid
to go In, and will not the effect be In
jurious to his Independent candidacy?
Since he has announced his candidacy and
calls himself a Republican, should he not
allow his party to choose between him
and others at the primaries and abide by
its verdict? Such questions are common
topics of discussion.
But on Albee's side it is said that if the
advantage in the primaries lies with Wil
liams. Albee is not obliged to enter a
fight wherein the odds are against him.
and that his opponents betray cowardice
in seeking to avoid him in the election. .
Watch With Eagle Eyes.
Merrill and HoWell especially are watch
ing Albee with eagle eyes. So impatient Is
Merrill that he has declared he may
challenge Albee to enter the primaries,
thus to bring to a "head on May 6 the Is
sue between open and closed town. This

would divide the open-town vote between
Williams and Merrill, hut the latter thinks
Albee would be beaten anyhow. Still, If
Merrill was convinced that that spilt of
the open-town vote would nominate the
closed-town candidate, he says he would
stay out.
To the people who regard Merrill's can
didacy as a Joke, that gentleman himself
has prophecies to make. He says that
the liquor and sporting vote has not full
confidence In Williams and that it fears
Williams might take a notion into his head
to use them hard were he again elected.
Howell boomers have it figured out that
If Albee shall be worsted In the primar
ies the way will be open for their man to
ride, to glory. Consequently, they are
waiting for Albee to go In, and as their
hope of securing the indorsement of the
Municipal League lies in Albee's defeat,
perhaps the wish Is father to the thought.
Joint Coaxing Committee.
Democrats are working like big folks
to bring forth Dr. Harry Lane, who Is
disposed to flirt awhile before taking the
Dernocratlc nomination for better or for
worse. The Joint coaxing committee of
the two Democratic clubs has not yet had
audience with Dr. Lane, and veils Its do
ings In dense secrecy. Its first purpose Is
to cure factionalism in the party, so as
to give the doctor a united party, for
this is Insisted on by him as one of the
conditions on which he will accept the
nomination.
Then again the coaxing committee is
waiting to see what its Republican breth
ren are going to do. And as many of its
Republican brethren hope that Thomas
-will beat Lane for the Democratic nom
ination, so they themselves hope that Wil
liams will win the Republican nomination
for they see In that outcome several In
dependent candidates In the field to split
the Republican power. In such a split they
believe that all their chance of victory
lies.
George S- Shepherd, of the law firm of
Shepherd, Anderson & Cellars. Is the first
announced candidate for Councilman of
the Fourth Ward, aside from A. K. Bent
ley, who represents that ward In the Coun
cil now. Mr. Shepherd, whose residence
Is 374 Yamhill street, filed his declaration
of candidacy &r the Republican nomina
tion with the City Auditor yesterday af
ternoon. As to his policy, he says:
"If I am nominated and elected I will
advocate the following principle, to-wit:
Speak softly, but carry a big stick. "
ARRESTED P0R HORSESTEALING
D. W. Mays, of Portland, Taken to
Oregon City.
Dan W. Mays, of Portland, was arrest

of larceny. He Is accused of stealing
seven head of horses from farmers In
Clackamas Count?. He was taken to Ore
gon City last night by Sheriff J. R. Shaver
and Constable H. W. Trembath. Mays
Is a horsetrader and has lived in Port
land for some time. He has relatives
here.
About a month ago seven horses were
stolen from farmers living within a few
miles of Oregon City. Charles Mink was
the principal loser, having four head sto
len. The horses were afterwards sold to
ex-Mayor Burgman at Astoria. They were
shipped from Columbia County to Astoria
by boat.
Mays, when seen last evening, stated
that he accompanied the seven horses to
Astoria, where they were sold, but that
he only had one of Ihem, the other six
head belonging to a man named Charley
Decker. Mays said, he purchased his horse
from two Italians in Portland, but did not
know where Decker obtained his animals.
An effort Is being made to apprehend
Decker.
Mays was seen in Oregon City shortly
before the disappearance of the animals

sumed that this man was Decker, as
Mays admits having been with him at
Astoria.

TWIN GAMPS EXIST
Wig Chasm Yawns Between
the Factions.
EACH CLAIMS TO BE IT
Rival Republican Organizations Are
Now Bending All Their Energies
to Secure Control Locally
of the Party.
Twin Republican camps lay claim to the
sceptre in Portland and between the two
yawns a chasm reeking with sulphur. The
one Is the remnant of the Matthews-Carey-Mitchell
machine; the other is the
"new deal" creation which has risen up
In the last fortnight and called Itself the
Republican oranizaton and proclaimed
the other gone to smash.
Each calls Itself anointed and the other
heretic The Matthews-Carey outfit re
gards the other as a bunch of Slrnonites
in disguise and seeking to usurp the
rights that belonfc to the regular organ
ization of the party; the "new deal"
braves, headed by S. C Beach, resent the
aspersion and say that their ranks are
recruited from the camps of both the old
time factions and 'from untamed brethren
who have consorted with neither.
Each With Headquarters.
Each naa its own headquarters' pla
carded "Republican" the Matthews
Carey braves in the McKay building,
where the captains of the war used to
counsel with "Whitney L Boise, chairman
of the County and City Central Commit
tee, but where the thud of their footsteps
now rarely awakens the sleeping echoes:
the Beach stalwarts In an unplastered
room at 109 Second street. Each, rival has
its own ward and precinct organization,
tho "new deal" contingent possessing
newly-appointed workers, the other re
taining its bid-time tollers, who have been
doing little of late.
On the door of the "new deal" temple
appeared yesterday the sign "Republican
headquarters" emblazoned in glaring let
ters. Inside were bare floors instead of
the soft carpets that adorn the headquar
ters of "Whitney L. Boise.
Mr. Beach, before putting up the sign
Republican headquarters at 109 -Second
street, did not ask Mr. Boise to take down
the same sign In the McKay building.
"No," said Mr. Beach las night, "I did
not consult Mr. Boise nor anyone else."
"Didn't you go to see Mr. Bolser
"No, I was afraid, er, ah, he might
throw me out the window."
The "new deal" organization assumed
the name Republican last week and has
set about to make good its claim of being
the organization of tho party. Unto its
banner It has called all elements who
have grown weary of service in the Simon
and the Mitchell factions.
At a meeting of the "new deal" execu
tive committee the following precinct
committeemen were chosen to preach the
gospel of the new movement:

"Slats" Davis Defeats Keith.
"Slats" Davis defeated Keith in a game
of billiards at Reddlck's last night, and
the bellow he gave could have been hard
a mile in the open. .Being inclosed, it rat
tled the windows. Jarred the peaceful pool
balls In their racks on the walls, and
even penetrated Into the 1uter open In
sufficient volume to cause a "night-hawk"
cab horse to lift his ears,
"Slats' " voice is not so very beautlfuL
but It Is lusty. It sounded as If it had
come out of the sagebrush and had not
had much opportunity to ease itself of
late. But the occasion justified its use.
Keith led off in a very, chipper manner,
keeping "Slats" in his wake till he
reached S6. "With 50 as game". "Slats'
hammered away In the rear, and when he
made k run, Keith pegged off a few more
and left him behind again. But 36 was
Keith's climax. "Slats" passed him and
won the game, six in the lead.
