ffEDB MORNING OKEGOKlAlf, THTJSSDA.Y, MARCH KJ, 15J05. xo EW DEAL ATSEft Says Curious Member of Republican Club. WAYES RUFFLE SESSION C. F.lord Asks What Are Principles of Organization. UIES FOR CONSTITUTION But All Is Serene Now and Cohorts Promise to Work In Harmony ' for Their Candidates Dur ing the Campaign. "Winds broke loose In the "2Ccw Deal" brotherhood last night, at 109 Second street, and stirred the -waters, but were pubdued ere damage "was done. C F. Lord wanted to know what the "Sew Deal" stood for, what were its principles, and what Its purposes. For a time he could get no satisfactory answer until Q. C. Moser hied to the rescuo of the tossing ship and told the anxious brethren that the "New Deal" was an chored to the principles of Republicanism and needed no stronger moorings. Then th6 patriots stamped their feet and clapped their bands until the sound there of became a mighty noise. And toward the tall end of the meeting. Dr. "W. I. Cottet almost let looso the winds again by shouting: "This is said to be a new deal, but I'd llko to know whether somebody is stack ing the deck. If the purposes of this movement were more definitely stated, wo should not waste so much time chewing the rag as Lord has done here tonight. I've been hero 37 years, and between the devil and the deep sea All the time. It's -been either Simon and Lotan, or Simon and Matthews." And Dr. Cottel revealed one source of his irritation by saying that the people of South Portland are sore at the City Council for having made .o burdensome a charge for "those fills and bridges." The people In that part of the city, he declared, wanted men in the next Council, men who had business heads on their shoulders. If the present Council had more common sense he opined that the present "kick" would not have happened. But this storm was weathered like the others and the "new deal" sailed into calm water again. Mont, on Executive Committee. The first gust resulted from a proposal to increase the membership of the ex ecutive committee rrom three tor etcn wara to Ave. Inasmuch as the gentlemen then in session were holding a meeting of the executive committee, a creation of the new deal organisation, the question natur ally arose whether the child was ofgreater power than the parent body which had given birth to the committee. The braves Anally decided that they could rightfully recommend to the parent enlargement of the committee and have the parent sanc tion the change. Therefore a motion car ried to recommend the enlargement. The following persons were offered for the additional places on the committee: Second "Ward Lou Wagner, A. W. Allen. Third "Ward Dr. Emmett Drake. Dr. "W. I. CotteL I Fourth Ward K. G. Morrow, Frank Mlddleton. Then the gentlemen found themselves at their wit's end, and decided to let further recommendations go over. The committee also decided to confer on ward and precinct organizations the duty o'f selecting preferred candidates for . places on the new city central committee, on which each prlclnct is to have one member, who shall be elected at the pri maries. Among Those Present. The session was Illuminated by the fol lowing lights in the "New Deal" firma ment: SC. Beach, chairman, and F. S. Grant, recretary: Otto J. Kraemer, said to be an aspirant for Municipal Judge; E. T. Tag Kart, candidate for City Attorney; J. T. Gregg. W. L. Gould. E. C. Bobbins. C. O. eigglln. Dr. Norrls R. Cox, G. W. Joseph, Sam Wagner, C. Claussenlus, Dr. W. L Cottel. F. A. Jones, F. H. Reeves. Charles F. Lord. G. C. Moser, John M. Mann, J. D. Mann, George M. Orton. George F. Robinson. Eugene Ferguson. J. T. Wilson. C. H. Thompson, F. A. Ballln, and others. . Lord Asks Questions. "Have wo any constitution or by-laws or order of business?" asked Lord. Chairman Beach didn't know of any. "It aeems to me that the club as origi nally organized" went on Lord, but was Interrupted by G. W. Joseph, who rose to a point of order. "There can't be any," retorted Lord, for me have no constitution nor by-laws nor expressed purposes nor defined prin ciples. This committee is really functus officio." . "What's that?" cried a voice. "Spell It." yelled another. "Ask Mrs. Woodcock," came from an other throat. "We ought to have an understanding." returned Lord. "If our purpose is to de feat the machine that's one thing. If It's to defeat any candidate, that's another. Bat to have unanimity of feeling e ought to have something to rest on a constitution and by-laws and a declara tion of our purposes and principles." "New Deal" Enough. Chairman Beach explained that the pur pose of the organization was a new deal In politics and that a purpose lias been explicitly set forth. "For a new deal," said he, "we want united action of all Republicans." The debate dragged on some time, until G. C. Moser ended It by saying: "We all know what we stand for in politics Republicanism. We are here to carry out its principles." Loud applause ensued. The committee appointed workers for a number of precincts, thus taking steps for completion of the New Deal organization. CHIEF WILL BE EXONERATED No Doubt About Tenor of Report of Police Committee. Chief of Police Hunt will be exon erated by the police committee of the Executive Board, in a detailed re port of the recent investigation, as published last Sunday morning by The Oregonlan. Of this there is no doubt. Just when the committee's document will be made public is not known, but it is probaWe that It will not be ofa daily announced until the meeting- of the" Executive Board next week. Senator Slchel and General Beebe, who heard the evidence, are firm be lievers In 'the Police Department, from Chief Hunt down to the most humble patrolman and detective, and whllo others have hurled sarcasm and crit Iclsm at the force throughout the ad ministration, they have backed "up -the department, upholding the Chief In Ws operations. At this lata hour, it Is argued by many. Senator Slchel and General Beebe will not depart from their attl tudo of more than two. years, and find against the Chief. Added to this Is the statement of Senator Sichcl, published last Sunday, that he will find for the head of the department. WHO ARE THE REAL SHENKES? Vaudeville Theater Managers Both Claim Acrobatic Family. A steal; or not the real article. That's what the management of both the Star and Grand Theaters say about each other with reference to the en gagement of the Shenke family of ac robats. The Shenke family now ap pearing at the Star say they are toe real and only Shenke team, while the Grand people Insist that tho real Shenke family along with Jack Shenke are now performing at tho Acme The ater, Sacramento. CaL, and will posi tively apear at the Grand in this city on or about April 10. And the warm dispute will probably bo the entering wedge In a rival vaudeville war partic ipated in by the Conn interests on the one side, and John W. Considlne's in terests on the other. As a matter of fact, the acrobats now appearing at the Star as tho Shenke family have a clever, thrilling act and are playing to good business. Shakespeare says: "What's in a name?" but in vaudeville it means a lot of money. Both sides show written contracts with the Shenke family, and the end Is not yet. "We have the real Shenke family at the Star, and it's up to someone else to prove the contrary," said Manager Max G. Cohen last night "As to a defl, we can't spare time from our business to bother with this phase of the question. We have shown you our contract with the Shenke family, have engaged them at a high salary to play In our cir cuit for five weeks, and they are mak ing the biggest kind of a hit at the Star. That's the real reason if tho Shenke family hadn't made good the Grand management would not have made all this trouble about them." The contract referred to was consummated at San Francisco. Manager James II. Errickson, of tho Grand, showed a contract with thfe Shenke family also dated at San Fran cisco, and engaging the troupe for eight weeks. "I say without fear of successful contradiction that the Shenke family at the Star this week are not the genuine article, and that the latter are now playing at Sacra mento. CaL," he said. "The Conn people tried to steal the Shenkes from us, but failed. Walt until the real Shenkes appear at the Grand and elsewhere on our circuit. The people calling them selves Shenke at the Star are really the Bunt Brothers, the three Mal verns and Bregers and Delwyn." The name of the troupe Is spelled "Schenk" in tho Considine contract, and "Schenk" in, the Cohn contract. In bothof the advertisements of the rival houses the name appears In this fashion: Star, "Shenke," and Grand, "Shenk." HOLD ANOTHER RATE SESSION Jobbers and Railroad Men Will Meet Again on Interior Schedule. The second and final conference to be held "between the traffic officials of the transcontinental lines and tho members of the Jobbers Association of the North west will be held In Portland on Thurs day, April 6, and provisions for the meet ings are now being made. It Is expected that J. C Stubbs, traffic manager of the Haniman Eystem, from Chicago; Benjamin Campbell, fouth vice president of the Great Northern, and J. M. Hannaford, second vice-president ot the Northern Pacific, will represent the railroads, while the various men com posing the executive board of the Job bers' Association will meet with them in conference. The first meelng was held some weeks ago. and at that time tho question of distributive rates from the Pacific Coast terminals was gone Into thoroughly by both the jobbers and the traffic men. Both sides were stated In all their details and the arguments of the jobbers were taken under advisement by the rail road representatives. It Is thought that the second meeting on Thursday next will result In great changes being made In the rates now In effect from Portland back Into the Interior of the Northwest. TO RAISE "STOOL-PIGEONS" Ex-Policeman Believes They Will Be 'Needed by New Detectives. "I have staked out 73 acres of my large rant, which I will devote to the propa gation of 'stool-pigeons' for use during the Lewis and Clark Fair," says a man signing himself "ex-policeman," In a letter to Detective Kerrigan. The epistle was received yesterday. "I have noticed in The Oregonlan," con tinues the letter, "that of late there have been several promotions in the Police De partment, and also that a chief of detec tives has been named for the secret service division of the Exposition. Being an old officer, I realize how tremendous will be the need for stool-pigeons,' and therefore have concluded to raise a large crop, to be leased to those needing them in your city during the Fair. I guarantee each pigeon to be onto his job, or money re funded." For the benefit ot the uninitiated, here is an official definition of "stool-pigeon, not to be found la Webster's: "Stool-pigeon" One without legitimate occupation, who Is allowed liberty, so long as he furnishes "tips" concerning the crimes of other persona (Seo "wise guy" and "lucky guinea.") IMITATES UNCLE SA5PS BONDS Charge Made Against Dan Rosen felri, Suspected of Counterfeiting. I Detectives Day and Welner yesterday evening arrested Dan Rosenfeld who la believed to be one of the cleverest coun terfeiters known to have operated In this country. It Is said that Rosenfeld Is the man who has been selling Imitation. United States bonds which are almost perfect counterfeits. For some time Detectives Kerrigan and Snow had Rosenfeld under surveillance and have suspected he was a counter feiter. Eoys Club Frowned On. There have been several complaints made to the police about an old school building which stands on the corner of East Nineteenth and Clinton streets. It is believed that the structure Is un safe and that It is liable to collapse at any time. A crowd ot boys In the neigh borhood ot the old building have planned to fit the structure up and use It as a clubhouse. Their parents are afraid the boys may be Injured, and they think the building is In an unsafe condition. Women to Clean Up the Town. CENTRALTA. Wash., March 29. (Spe cial.)

Fearing death at the hands of her hits hand. Mrs. Guen Leung "was compelled to bundle up her tiny girl babe Tuesday night at a late hour. quit her own home and flee in the darkness to seek safety at the residence of George Woolford, nearly a mile distant. Frightened so bad ly that she refused to return yesterday, the woman was taken by the police and cared for. There was a scene of wild excitement at the home of the Guens Tuesday night, when the husband and father arrived in an. Intoxicated condition. He was quar relsome, and Is said to have secured a revolver and made threats to kill his wife and child. Neighbors heard the din and reported the 'case to Acting Captain of Police Hogeboom. Guen Leumr Is a gardener, having a small ranch on the St. Helens road, just outside the city limits. Notwithstanding it was outside his jurisdiction. Acting Captain Hogeboom dispatched Patrolman Hill to the scene, but It was so far that when the policeman arrived all was quiet. Ho returned, after a talk with Guen. who emphatically declared that there had been no trouble. At the time, however, his wife and child were housed at the "Wool ford home, where they fled. When day dawned yesterday, the "Wool fords tried to persuade Mrs. Guen to re turn to her home with her child, but she refused to do so. saying she feared her husband would kill her and the baby.

C, Columbus, O., and other Eastern cities where he has been for the past six weeks. He wlU again take charge of the gathering of evidence and will work with Mr. Heney and Mr. Neuhausen from this time until the end ot the session of the Federal grand Jury. The greater part of the six weeks that have passed since Mr. Heney and his party left Portland has been spent by Mr. Burns In "Washington, where Mr. Heney went to argue a motion In the Hyde-Benson case before the Supreme Court. Mr. Burns was there during- the Inauguration, and in in company with Mr. Heney visited the President and Secretary of the Interior In relation to the land fraud investigations that have been con ducted by them In Oregon. The returned government official had but little to say yesterday. There was nothing that he could say. and he did not "want to an ticipate the action of the grand jury or to say aught of the plans that might be adopted by Mr. Heney on his return, which would be soon.

"There is one thing I might tell," con tlued the speaker, and that la of the good fortune of Thomas B. Neuhausen, the special agent who has been left in charge of the wotlc here while Mr. Heney was In the East. The excellent work donej by Mr. Neuhausen In gathering evidence which will be used In the trials about to be called In the Federal court, has attracted the attenUon of Secretary Hltchcock. and upon the recommenda tion of Mr. Heney the special Inspector has been promoted to tho office of In spector of District Land Offices and Sur veyor General, his territory extending from "Wisconsin to Louisiana. Mr. Neu hausen will remain In Oregon until after the close of the land fraud Investigations in order to assist the Government in Its work. He will then be transferred to his new fields. President Is Determined. "About all I know besides what I have told you," further conUnued Mr. Burns, "Is that the President Is determined to probe the land fraud questions to the bottom, not only In Oregon but In all other states -where it Is found that they exist. He Is working In perfect harmony with Secretary Hitchcock In that direction and there will be no halt until the calen dar Is cleared off. "There is a great deal of sympathy ex pressed for Judge Tanner throughout the East and his stand In coming out as he did before the court and jury Is com mended on every hand. There Is sympa thy expressed for Senator Mitchell on account of his age and his position." Mr. Burns Is now staying at the Calu met and will from this time on be busy with, the evidence to be used before the grand Jury as well as that which will be needed in the trials for which prepa ration is being made. The day of Mr. Heneys arrival is not known beyond the- statement that he will be here before the first of April which will bring him, to Portland either today or tomorrow. H. W. Miller Lies in Jail.
