THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1905. 51 THEY WILL CONFER Four Republican Clubs Name Envoys, WILL RECOMMEND NOMINEES Committee's Selections Are Not Bind ing on Their Respective Organ izations, but May Influence Future Action of Clubs; In order that the four Republican Clubs of Portland may unite in action, committees from each trill confer next Saturday night in the New Deal tem ple at 109 Second street. Thlrty-flve prophets have been chosen to take part in the communion, 10 from the Republican Club, 10 from the Young: Men's Republican Club, 10 from the New Deal and five from the Glafke Re publican Club. The committees are authorized to recommend to their respective organ izations candidates for the Republican nomination for tfuch offices as Mayor, Auditor. Treasurer, Municipal Judge, City Attorney and five Councilmen-at-Liarge. But it is expressly stipulated that the committee recommendations shall not be binding on the clubs. The five stalwarts from the Glafke broth erhood are charged with the duty of looking out for Glafke for Mayor, first, last and all the time, but. aside from that office, are empowered to enter into arrangements for nomination of such candidates for other jobs as they may deem most acceptable and advantage ous for Glafke. Chooses Its Envoys. Last night the Now Deal chose its ten envoys at a meeting of Its execu tive committee. Just one week before the New Deal declared Jtself against any conference with other organiza tions and had proclaimed that it would indorse the candidacies only of the nominees of the party after the pri maries. The work -of last night seemed a reversal of the policy enunciated last week, but was said to be quite consist ent, inasmuch as the New Deal still reserved to itself the boosting of all candidacies, and might boost or not, just as it desired, no matter what its committee on conference might do. The members of the four committees named in the order of their wards are: New Deal Lou Wagner, W. R. Mc Gary, John Driscoll, F. C. Middleton, G. C. Moser. John M. Mann, C. H. Thompson, W. B. Chase, E. C. Rob bins. J. T. Gregg. Republican Club Dr. Norrls R. Cor, George W. Hoyt, D. J. Qulmby, W. S. Duniway. F. E. Beach, N. R, Bird, TV. P. Keady, Thomas Hislop, H. L. Nev elle. J. Peddicord. Young Men's Republican Club Dr. R. E. Preston, A. W. Allen, C. E. Lock wood, C. M. Idleman, W. M. Cake, B. F. Jones, H. C. Smith, F. S. Bennett, J. P. Kavanaugh, N. D. Beutgen. Glafke Club R. G. Morrow. C. E. Warrens. George W. Hoyt, T. N. Top penbach, Edward Newbegln. Favor Dr. A. C. Smith. The committees of the Republican Club and the Young Men's Republican Club favor Dr. Andrew C. Smith for Mayor above all eligibles. This was made plain at a conference of the two committees last Friday. A joint subcommittee was named to carry to Dr. Smith the tldincs that their organizations loved him best- of all. and that they would like to make mm their candidate for Mayor. The doc tor's response was not a refusal to be their standard-bearer. In fact, he did not say that he would run: neither did he say he would not run. But indications are that he would consent to be a candi date should the summons come from a suf ficiently large body of Republicans. His boomers say that he alone of all the Re publican candidates now in the field could unite Republican elements in the election in June sufficient to beat the Democratic nominee, for they believe that the nomi nation of any other Republican would split the party in so many places as to result in the election of a Democrat. Not the best of harmony hasprevailed hitherto between the several Republican ciuds. rja.cn proiesses to be nghtinjr shv of bosses and "collars" and ring rule. But they have not at all times agreed on a common procedure. New Dealers, for ex ample, have spoken slightingly of the Re publican Club and the Young Men's Club paying that those organizations have little backing. Leaders of those organizations. on their side, have averred that the New Deal was not altogether a square deal. and that they detected in it the hand of an old dealer, perhaps that of Simon. New Deal on Recorcr. The New Deal has gone on record as disapproving Indorsement of any candl dates'for nomination, at least Its execu tive committee has done so. But the clubs will nrobablv nick nut ranAMotoc for nomination and their deliberations have indicated that this will be done. Thus the New Deal and the other or ganizations appear to be on the verge of separation on an Important matter of politics. Next Monday night has been set for meeting of the Republican Club. At that time an effort may be .made to indorse canaiaaie ior .Mayor. Last Mon day nicht the executive rnmmlttoa nt v club and precinct workers instructed its conference committee then to report some recommendation for Mayor. Part of the committee at that time attempted to secure indorsement for H. S. Rowe, but ' tne recommendation was withdrawn and us consideration deferred Ttntll next Mon day night. The New Deal will meet next Tuesday night to hear from the conference com mittee which was appointed last night. WILL DISCUSS HATES QUESTION Grand Lodge of United Workmen Meets In Portland Todav. The Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen for the Jurisdiction of Oregon will meet this morning at 3 o'clock, in the Elks Hall, at the Mar quam. building, for the consideration of the rate question. This meeting of the Grand Lodge .is a called one, and is one .of the most im portant that has met in the state for years, as it has in Its decision the future existence, to all Intents, of the order by which it was elected. Two hundred delegates will be present fox the conference, of which number per haps one-half will be from Portland. For some months, in fact for more than a year, the question of a readjustment of the existing assessment rates charged in the order has been under discussion The fast-aging members and the increasing death rate of the order had so raised the assessments that membership was becom ing burdensome, and the young men who- had joined the organization were begin ning to drop out, while no new members could be gained to take the place of those who were leaving for various causes. This condition confronted the Workmen iiwiu vjie cud oi me country io me other and the Supreme Lodge of the United States adopted a rate plan whlph places the order practically on the same safe basis aj? that used by the life-insurance companies. More than one safe plan has been worked out. and a choice of at least two is given to those grand lodges which have not as yet changed from the old to the new assessment plan. At the last meeting of the Grand Lodge the new plan was discussed, but was re jected principally by the influence of the older members of the order. The trouble has been that the new plans. In order to be safe, necessitated that the older mem bers of the order pay their proportionate share of the assessments. As It was la the existing plan, the new members and the young men In the order had to bear their proportionate share of the assess ments made. Irrespective of age or length of membership. This fact was causing tne young men to forsake" the order, and it has come to that pass where either the old men must consent to a proportionate Increase in their dues or be soon left to bear the whole and increasing burden of assessment alone and unaided by any new blood that may be Infused Into the organization through additional member ship. It Is this question then that will occupy the time and attention of the Grand Lodge when it meets today, and there is but little doubt expressed but what the new plan as proposed by the Supreme Lodge will be accepted with only slight opposition. A campaign of education has been carried on throughout the state for the past several months, and It is thought that those delegated to the Grand Lodge have all been shown by ample argument that there Is but one way to maintain the integrity of the order, and that la by the adoption of the new plan. CUTS OUT THEATER SUPPERS Why Price Objects to Change in the Police Hours. Station Officer Price, who .was instru mental in breaking up the movement among the policemen to present a peti tion to Mayor Williams asking that the hours of the different reliefs be changed, is still talking of the outrage which he says was attempted by the other men. "Those men of the day Tellef are be coming more aristocratic each day," said Price yesterday. They have gone so far that thej want 'bankers' ' hours. By the proposed change they would go at 7 o'clock in the morning and roport off at 3:15 In the afternoon, getting an hour for dinner. Why there are no bankers in Portland that have better hours than those. "If the change would be made It would be at the expense of the men on the second relief. As It Is we do not go on until 12:30 o'clock. This gives us time to take our wives or girls to the shows. But if we had to report for duty at 11 o'clock where would we be"i We would have time to go to the shows but we would have to cut out the suppers. Die very best part of our night's enjoy ment. "Some of the men might favor this change for the reason that they would be released from the responsibility of a feed after the shows. They could make the excuse that they had to be on duty. But not for me. I have been used to midnight suppers for so long that I couldn't give them up although I admit I would save a good little sum each month by It." GETS A FAMOUS DUELING PISTOL Weapon Witn Which Terry Killed Broderick Goes to Society. Another famous relic of the days of old was given Into the keeping of the Oregon Historical Society yesterday,. L. B1. Geer, of Salem, brought to the head quarters of "the society the dueling pistol used by Judge David S. Terry in his duel with Senator David C. Broderick, near San Francisco, CaL. September 13. 1S59. The latter was killed at the first shot fired by Judge Terry from the pistol. The- duel was the result of dif ferences over the slavery and political questions. Many years later Judge Terry was killed at Lathrop, Cal., by Uulted States Marshal Neagle, who was acting as the body guaj-d of Justice Stephen Field. The pistol was given by Reel Terry, a son of the duelist, to Isaac Banta. who was the personal friend of the elder Terry at the time of the latters death. Mr. Banta gave the weapon to L. B. Geer. WILL JOIf THE MOROSCO COMPANY AT THE BUR BANK THEATER, LOS ANGELES, CAL., MAY 7 WII.IJAM BERNARD, ACTOR AND STAGE MANAGER. COLUMBIA THEATER. It Is with mingled regret and pleasure that the rnany friends of William Bernard, one of the priiujpals of the Columbia Theater Stock Company, learn that he has accepted an offer from Oliver Moro&eo to become a member ot the Burbank Theater Company, Lob Angeles. Cat. opening there May 7 regret that Mr. Bernard is going to leave Portland, where he has made his home for over three years, and gratification that he Is about to better bis worldly prospects, for he has been ongaged at a handsome salary, to play heavias and take his share of the leading buHness at the Burbank Theater, for a period of SO week. Along with Mrs. and Mis Dot Bernard, Mr. Bernard will leave here for Los Angeles, April 30. As has already been stated. Mr. Bernard had arranged to taka an Important part In the direction ot KlraUy's Carnival of Venice at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, but when Mr. Morocco's offer reached him Mr. Bernard con sulted with Manager Calvin Helllgr, of the Marquam Theater, and through Mr. Helllg's kindly offices a release was obtained from Mr. Klralfy. Within the last few days Mr. Bernard received a tempting offer from Manager S. Morton Conn to star In vaudeville, but, after considering the matter, Mr. Bernard thought his beat Interests would be served by accepting the Burbank Theater offer. As a mem ber of the Baker Theater Company. Mr. Bernard has appeared, in Los Angeles, where he has plenty of friends. As a finished, capable actor of the English school, Mr. Bernard has appeared hore in dozens of roles, where he made himself a. popular favorite for his strong, realistic, virile work. Ills humor In comedy has also been appreciated. As a lover, swearing In honeyed accents of his burning love for his sweetheart, or as a heavy villain, breathing hate and r-r-revenge for insults received, Mr. Bernard gave faithful portraitures. He is one of the beet all-around actors seen here, and as 'stage manager of the Columbia Theater, 'Mr. Bernard showed fine executive ability. TARDY ONES FINED Contractors Suffer Who Are Dilatory. BOARD ENFORCES THE LAW All Arc Warned That Severe Penal ties Will Be Imposed on Those Failing to Complete Their Work on Time. Delinquent contractors for Improve ments of the city's strepti? will be brought to time with a, round turn. - It was. decided to impose fines upon sev eral that are all the way from 60-.to 100 days late In completing their work at a meeting of the -street committee of the Executive Board' yesterday af ternoon and to notify all other con tractors on city work 4that the fines Imposed would be heavj' ft their agree ment as to time were not fulfilled. For a' year or more the contractors who have secured the orders of the city for the improvement of streets have apparently taken the contracts with the Idea of completing the work whenever they pleased, and when the City Engineer or a citizen called the attention of the Executive Board to the matter to ask for an extension of time without offering any excuse. At the meeting or the committee yesterday the clerk had a large bun dle of complaints from almost every part of the city, written by citizens, asking when they would be able to get to their homes without wading through the mud or going through a neighbor's back yard as a result of some delinquent contractor falling to complete his work, and following the reading of these complaints came pleas from the contractors for more time In finishing their work. Then there were a number of acceptances of .completed work read, and attached to each of them was a concise note from City Engineer Charles Wanzer, calling the attention of the Board to the fact that every one of the bills that the con tractors were presenting was for work that should have been completed a long time ago. Mayor Williams listened to the com ments of the City Engineer, and then called the attention of the other mem bers of the board to the flagrant viola tion of the laws of the city by the con tractors and notified those present that such action would not be tolerated. .He Insisted that even' contractor fulfill his agreement promptly, and said that their fines for not doing so would materailly reduce the amount of their profits. W. L. Boise, of the Executive Board, also had a few words to say about the matter, and pointedly notified all contractors that fines would be Imposed upon the con tractors that are now late, as well as heavy ones upon later Infractors. In many of the cases no excuse what ever was offered. The contractors sat about the room with an indifferent air, and answered not when asked why thev had not fulfilled their contracts. BIchlll Bros, had several accepted Htreets upon their list, which they expected the money for, but. according to the note of the City Engineer, they were 270 days late In completing one piece of work, SO days late In another, and more than two months In one. Mlckum & Kelley were 123 days later than they agreed to be In completing a street. M. J. Conley was more than 90 days too slow, and Gleblsch & Jo pi In took three months more time than allowed by their contract to finish one street, R. J. Debuhr was also three months late. In every instance the City Engineer called the attention of the Board to the fact that the weather was splendid for street work, and gave a description of the ground they were at work upon to offset any excuse the contractors might offer. When the committee adjourned without passing any -of the claims, the contractors went away dejected, and the members of the Board expressed them selves In most forcible terms as to what they would do hereafter when a con tractor attempted to abuse a privilege granted by an accommodating official. I WILL FIGHT THE WEEDS Civic Improvement Board Prepares for Another Campaign. The Board of Civic Improvement Is preparing to make an onslaught upon weeds and rubbish of all kinds to be found in vacant lots and corners of the city. The attack will be made with the assistance of the Police Department and by authority of the City Council given In an ordinance passed on April 5 which provides: That any owner, or In case of his non residence or absence for a period of 00 days, then the agent of such owner, of any lot or premises, who shall permit any weeds, grass, vines. thistles, cockleburs, bushes, brash, shrubs or trees to grow on such lot or premises to exceed one foot In height fexcept for use or ornament, food or fuel) or rubbish of any kind to remain on such lot or premises for 30 . days after the passage and approval of the ordinance, or after ten days' notice to remove the same, shall bo deemed guilty ot maintaining a nuisance, and shall on conviction be fined not less than or more than $5, or be Imprisoned for not less than one day or more than 00 days, or by both'silch fine and Imprisonment. 1 . The Chief of Police, upon request of the Civic Improvement Board, has noti fied all patrolmen of thtfassagc of the ordinance, and has made them ac quainted with Its details, including the important provision that po rubbish ofr any kind is allowed on any premises or lot. and that patrolmen are Justified In ordering the Temoval of rubbish oven from private property or premises. The Civic Improvement Board Is ad dressing letters every day to owners of vacant lots asking them to look after the removal of rubbish and expressing the hope that they will do so .without awaiting for the law to go Into effect. The members of the board consider It a matter of regret that the Council grants permits for banners to be hung across the street, and for signs bridg ing over sidewalks to be erected, prac tically without limit, the result of which, they contend, will be tnat Port land will, soon present the appearance of a country town of signs and banners. The board holds that this evil should be stopped at once, illuminated signs should be allowed only on the condition that they are placed on hinges and turned back against the wall of the building during the day. That at night the signs help to illuminate the streets and cannot therefore be objected to. Is admitted by the board, but during the day, It Is argued, they obstruct the view and are altogether out of place In a city of the dignity of Portland. San Francisco long since passed an or dinance embodying the above condi tions and many others much more diffi cult to comply with, with the result that their streets are comparatively clear of objectionable signs and ban ners at all times. A strong protest against these nuisances Is being ad dressed to the Common Council by the Civic Improvement Board. The matter of sanitary conditions in the city is being agitated by the Board of Civic Improvement, as It has been for some time, and a strong effort is being made to secure the appoinment of a meat Inspector and also for the ap pointment of another deputy to assist Dr. Blersdorff. the City Health Officer., in, the dlschrage of his duties. MARKETS MUST CLEAN UP. Housewives of Portland Are Deter mined to Enforce Neatness. The ladles say that the vegetables marts of the city are "so filthy that it Is dan gerous to partake of a vegetable diet purchased from them, and, therefore, tney must raise their own supply. The butcher shops are even worse say the women, and as they will be unable to Join the ranks of the vegetarians, they must also raise their own beef, sheep and pigs "We are going to have another meet ing at the School of Domestic Science Friday," said one of the ladles last night, "and we are going to have some speeches that will cause the market men to sit up and take notice. Dr. "Woods Hutchin son will be one of the speakers, and he will just go after them. Dr. Mae Card- well has also been Invited to address the gathering from the standpoint of the City Board of Health. Miss Tingle and Mrs. B. H. Trumbull will talk about the con ditions of the markets as they found them, and the effect upon the health of the city." At the meeting this morning a commit tee will be appointed to visit the markets and give the proprietors notice to clean up their places, and thereafter at stated periods the committee will publish what Is to be known as the "clean list." which Is to contain the names of all clean mar kets for the use of the housewives of the entire city. Another committee will be appointed to confer with the City Coun ell about an ordinance that will provide a market Inspector. "We are not going to be satisfied with ordinary brushing up and whitewashing," says Mrs. W. J. Honeyraan. "Wo want radical changes In the appearances of the markets, and we want the clerks to cease dipping their hands first into the sweet pickle barrel and then take up a sample of sauer kraut to show to a cus tomer that really wants a little celery. which the clerk usually handles without washing his hands. Then the butcher shops of Portland are filthy. Why, do you know I was visiting one tho other day, and noticed that the dirt upon the exterior of the sausage machine was an inch thick, and goodness knows how much there was Inside." Following the speeches at the meeting today, there is to be a general discus sion by the women upon what definite steps .are to be taken toward further In spection tours by them. Council of Jewish Women. The members of the Council of Jewish Women are Invited to attend the house keepers mass meting today at 10 o'clock at the School of Domestic Science, Tenth and Alder streets. COMMEND ACTION OF WANZER Reinstatement of A. S. Groce Is In dorsed by Stationary Engineers. The recent action of City Engineer Charles Wanzer In reinstating A. S, Groce as "street inspector, under the pro visions of the Civil Service Commission, prompted the following resolutions, which were adopted at a meeting of the Sta tlonary Engineers last night: Resolved, That we, the stationary engineers, members of the International Union ot Steam Engineers. No. 87, hereby Indorse the action of City Engineer Charles Wanser iri the ac tion he took pertaining to the reinstatement of Street Inspector A. S. Groce In the service where he rightfully belongs. Inasmuch as he .took a higher examination and passed In a higher degree than J. Rankin; and be It fur ther Resolved. That' we highly commend the Civil Service rules where they are carried out In accordance with the city charter. Inspector Groce, at recent examinations of tho Civil Service Board, passed a very creditable examination, but when appoint ed to a position found that another man, with less credits, had received the steady position and the larger salary, while he was compelled to work Irregularly and receive pay accordingly. As .soon as City Engineer Wanzer discovered the condi tion of affairs he changed the men about, and has received the commendations of many people for his prompt "action.

William Moellcr, a plumber's helper, residing at 927 Alblna avenue, next took the stand and told of the quarrel be tween the two women, resulting In tho death of Nora Stone. "Nora Stone and Blanche Tompkins were quarreling." said Moeller. "They were drunk. I endeavored to cause them to stop nagging each other and be friendly. but they con tinued and the first thing I knew Nora struck Blanche. Then Blanche seized a lighted lamp and struck Nora. There was an explosion. Nora's clothing Ignit ed and I threw a quilt over her to smother the flames. Blanche took fright and ran from the building. I started to fight the fire In the rooms: some one carried Nora down "stairs and sent her to the hospital and soon the firemen and police came." Minnie Anderson, an Inmate of the re sort, corroborated Moeller In every de tail. Lizzie Smith, known as "Liverpool Liz," and May Smith, another Inmate. told of hearing the quarrel between Nora Stone and Blanche Tompkins. May O'Brien, who was an eye-witness, has kept out of the reach of the police, and is now being sought. There Is a warrant out for her, charging vagrancy.

Johnson told the Story of the famous Indian woman, Sacajawea, to all' the pupils of the Brooklyn School yesterday afternoon. The pupils from all the classrooms marched into the assembly hall, where they were seated. As a prelude to Dr. Johnson's talk. "Wo Love Our Oregon Home" was sung. The story of the brave Indian woman, who guided the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, suffer ing every possible hardship and mak ing it possible for the explorers to find their way through the wilder- What To Do For Heart Trouble I back np my advice with this Remarkable Offer: A lull DoHar's Worth of my .Remedy Free to Irove that I am Right. I ask no reference, no deposit, no security. There Is nothing to promise, nothing to pay either now or later. To any heart suf ferer who has not tried my remedy Dr. Shoop'B Restorative I will gladly give, free, not a mere sample, but a full dollar bot tle. I am warranted In making this unusual offer because mine is no ordinary remedy. It does not vainly to to stimulate the heart. Such treatments are worse than useless. It goes straight to the cause of all heart trouble the heart nerves and strengthens thorn and vitalizes them and restore them. Then that Is the end of heart diseases. For the heart Itself has no more self control than a common sponge. It Is made to beat by a tender nerve so tiny that It Is scarcely visible to the naked eye. Tet ten thousand times a day this delicate nerve must cause the heart to expand and contract. The heart is about the size of your clenched fist. Open and close your fist a dozen times, even, and you will see the monstrous labor this little nerve must do. The heart nerve is only one of the branches ot the great sympathetic nervous system. Each branch of this system Is so closely allied with the others that weakness or Ir regularity at any point Is apt to spread. Heart trouble frequently arises from Stom ach trouble through sympathy, and Kidney trouble may also follow. For each of these organs Is operated by a branch of these same sympathetic nerves tho Inside nerves. The bond of sympathy between the nerves that operate the vital organs has a useful purpose, as well. For what will cure weak ness In one branch will surely cure weak ness In every branch what will restore one center will surely restore them all. There Is nothing new about this nothing any physician would dispute. But It re mained for Dr" Shoop to apply this knowl edge to put It to practical use. Dr. Shoop's Restorative Is the result of a quarter of a century of endeavor along this very line. It does not dose the organ or deaden the pain but It does go at once to the nerve the Inside nerve the power nerve and builds It up. and strengthen It and makes It well. If you have heart trouble and have never tried my remedy, merely write and ask. I will send you an order on your druggist which he will accept as gladly as he would accept a dollar. He will hand you from his shelves a standard-sized Dottle of my prescription, and he will send the bill to me. This ofTcr Is made only to strangers to my remedy. Those who have once used the Re storative do not noed this evidence. There are no conditions no requirements. It is open and frank and fair. It is the supreme test of my limitless belief. All that I ask you to do Is to wrlt! write today. For a free order for Book 1 on Dyspepsia, a full dollar bottle Book 2 on the Heart, you must address Dr. Book 3 - on the Kld Shoop, Box E 173, neys.

Dr. Johnson also impressed tipon the pupils the Importance of Sacajawea as a historical character and her connection with the securing of the Northwest to the United States was set forth. At the conclusion of the talk the pupils were informed that If they pur chased Sacajawea buttons, sold for 10 cents each, they would be admitted to the Lewis and Clark Fair, July 5, th8 day when the statute of the Indian woman will be dedicated.
