Police Catch Black Rat. A coal
black rat was caught In a trap at the
Police Station yesterday morning. The
rat was unusually large In size and Its
skin was very soft, like velvet. The ani
mal was drowned along with several
other rats which were caught in the same
trap. Many people saw the animal, and
they all said that never before had they
sean a black rat. It attracted a great
deal of attention even among the prison
ers in whose apartments It was caught.
In the afternoon several men called at
the station and asked that the rat be
given them, as they wanted to place it
on exhibition. When told that the animal
had been killed they were greatly dis
appointed. One man wanted to have the
remains of the rat mounted to keep It
as a curiosity,, but when a search was
Instituted for the dead animal, which had
been disposed of by one of the "trusties,"
it could not be found. Rats are very
numerous at the Police Station and are
said to be on the increase, notwithstand
ing the efforts of the policemen and the
prisoners, who have united in conducting
a warfare towards their extermination.
Not long ago a rat's nest was found In
the drawer of a desk In the Municipal
Court At night, when all is quiet, rats
will sneak out of their holes and play in
the main office of the station. The rats
like to play in the patrol wagon.
Work on Clubhouse. The clubhouse

is a frame structure 40x80 feet, It stands
directly on the electric car track and on
the banks of the Willamette River, on
the Church property. It will be reached
either by the river or the electric car line.
Mr. Gratton was superintending the work
on the building .on Saturday. The park
adjoining the clubhouse on the southeast
has been cleared of stumps and brush
and is being inclosed. Mr. Gratton has
informed the people of Milwaukie that
they may have the use of the park for
picnic and religious gatherings free of
charge.

MAYOR WILLIAMS REPLIES
Tells Dr. llarry Lane He Should Not
Throw Stones.
Dr. Harry Lane, Dear Sir You pub
lished an abusive and scurrilous letter
in the newspapers of yesterday upon
the pretext that I had said something
to a newspaper reporter offensive to
you. 1 had noticed some statements
you had made as to what you would do
If elected Mayor, indicating, as it seemed
to me, that you considered it an easy
matter to fill that office, and I did say,
in view of these statements that I did
not believe that you had any Adequate
conception of the difficulties and duties
of the office. It seems to me that I
might have said this about anyone not
having experience, without offense.
With reference to a statement made by
Mr. Montague that I was on the defen
sive and he would keep mo there, I did
say that necessarily I was on the de
fensive because I had an administration
to defend; that you had no adminis
tration to attack or defend and -that you
and hold no office except Superinten
dent of the asylum from which I under
stood you had been dismissed by Gov
ernor Pennoyer. I had no thought of
making any attack upon you in what I
said and did not "know that it would
be expected. I beg- to remind you of a
few things which you may have forgot
ten. You wrote a letter to The Orego
nlan of May 3. 1S9C, in which you said:
"The pitiless and besotted knave
whom Pennoyer put In charge of the
penitentiary stole one-half of every dol
lar placed in his hands and God alone
knows how much from othfer funds as
well. The Board of Charities and Cor
rections, as well as others, detected this
contemptible piece of villlany and re
ported its existence to Governor Pen
noyer. Did foe, as an honest executive
officer and Just man put a stop to It,
discharge the Superintendent and pros
eoute him for malfeasance and place
him behind the penitentiary walls,
where he rightfully belonged? Kot he.
. . . - . ... ... , v. Y Tt
5rocr.ea ino w
or Charities ana wrrecuons ana ui
lone to his personal knowledge and i
with 'ais consent." You further say, in j
the same letter, that Governor Pennoyer !
was the chairman of the School Board
and that "by the management of which
poor settlers were robbed of their
money and of opportunities of getting
homes." In another letter addressed to
The Oregonlan of May 6, 1S96, you
charge Governor Pennoyer with false
hood and complicity with thieves and
conclude your letter by saying: "We
send men to the penitentiary for terms
of two and three years for the theft of.
a $4 pair of trousers and keep them
there the full term of the sentence. Our
more thrifty knaves we set above us in
places of public trust and honor and I
em aweary of the farce."
Governor Pennoyer said in The Ore
gonlan of May 4, 1S96:
"1 will say that the charges of. Dr.
Lane regarding mismanagement of pen
itentiary affairs under my administra
tion are dntlrely without foundation,"
and he Specifically denies "the truth .of
the other charges you made against
lilm. Referring to your superlntendency
of the asylum, yoju say In your letter
of yesterday: "At'any rate there was no
charges of graft or fraud or incompe
tence brought against my conduct of
the office at that time or since, nor may
it be done lightly by any one."
Governor Pennoyer said in The Ore
gonian of MayM: "It enabled me to dis
cover that the asylum meat bill, which,
when Lane went into office, was from
$700 to $800 per month, had risen to
between $1500 and $1800 per- month
Just before Lane went. I suggested a
change In the superintendent and it
was made. Under the new superinten
dent the meat bill went back to be
tween $700 and $800 per month." It is
easy to see why Governor Pennoyer
wanted a new superintendent. That
Governor Pennoyer condescended to
shake hands with you after this only
shows the goodness of his heart and his
willingness to forgive your base ingrat
itude to a friend and benefactor. Re
member, ray dear doctor, that it Is not
safe for those who live in glass houses
to throw stones. Yours very truly,
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS.
MUST KEEP THE ISLANDS
General Anderson Declares tlitj Plill
ippincs Must Be Held.
"As long as our flag stands for law,
order, justice, humanity, the honor of
men, the purity of women and the glory
of humanity, let it wave over the Philip
pines. When it does not, bring it back."
The final peroration to the speech of
General Thomas M. Anderson, before the
People's Forum last night, showed con
clusively what he thought about the island
problem. His attitude was not altogether
that of a soldier, as might be expected,
for, as he said on the platform, he has a
certain abstract sympathy with socialism
and takes interest in socialistic problems.
Being Sunday night. General Anderson
opined that a speaker should have a text,
so he took, "Am 1 my brother's keeper?"
and while he did not expressly say so,
he conveyed the notion that the United
States did well to obtain the expensive
Philippine Islands, and could afford the
luxury.
Having a personal experience that could
hardly be surpassed, and a natural incli
nation, to investigate conditions. General
Anderson spoke more authoritatively on
the Philippines than most men could. The
most interesting portion of his address
was when he told how ho had studied old
frescoes in Manila, and eaw what kind of
men were the first Spaniards who went
to the Phllipplnee, priests and soldier?,
gallant and zealous men. "far different
from those we had to contend with."' said
the General.
"Spanish civilization took the Philip
pines so far, then quit." he said. "It did
not kill off the natives, as ours did, but
it assimilated.1'
But the good work having deteriorated
under inferior tutelage, the Philippines
were sinking Into darkness, when the
United States took a hand in the game.
Whether this country would be able to
assimilate the natives, or would kill them
off as the Indians, General Anderson con
siders a question of future history- He
undoubtedly -believes that assimilation of
American Ideals to some degree will take
place. The chief question, as stated by
General Anderson, Js whether the islands
are to be maintained for the benefit of the
natives or of the Americans who may
settle there.
Here General Anderson's attitude could
only be Inferred from the sarcastic lan
guage he used of Mr. Atkinson. In charge
of the educational institutions, who. under
the spell of Hawaiian Ideals of Hawaii
for the Americans, reported that educa
tion in the Philippines was a failure, and
that the people could never be assimilated.
In refutation. General Anderson merely
quoted the figures regarding the 200,000
Filipino children now in school, and of
the 20 per cent of the population now
speaking English against the 7 per cent
formerly speaking Spanish.
"With one language, an education which
does not teach them to be deceitful and
treacherous, and a limited power, they
will progress." said the General. And
the General belongs to the Army, which
is popularly accredited with not thinking
much of the "nigger."
THE YSAYE RECITAL
At the Marqitam Tuesday, May 30,
the Event of the Season.
A musical treat In store for our de
votees of the divine art is the forthcom
ing concert of Ysaye, the greatest of all
living violinists. He is booked for one
appearance here, at the Marquam, Tues
day, May 30. A large guarantee was nec
essary to induce his manager, R. E. John
ston, to close the engagement, for Ysaye
is the highest-priced .violinist that lias
ever been imported from Europe, and
since his arrival In the United States has
been the musical hero.
His successes haxe been phenomenal;
he has broken all vlolinistic records, for
he has given nearly 20 concerts and re
citals in New York alone this season, and
is still the Hon of the hour. The coming
of this world-renowned violinist will oc
casion nothing less than a sensation.
There will be a rush for tickets as soon
as the sale opens, which will be next Sat
urday morning at the Marquam.

Ask Police to Find Relatives.
Within the last two or three months
many letters have been received at the
Police Station from persons In the East
asking the aid of the department In locat
ing long-lost relatives. As the Exposition
nears completion the letters increase.
Some of the letters state that the writers
have relatives in Portland from whom
they have not heard for years, but as
they Intend coming to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, they are wry anxious
learn of their whereabouts.
A letter was received yesterday from
Mrs. Mary M. Boyd. Bloomlngton, 111.,
requesting the police to look for her
grandfather, Nathan Sullivan, no tidings
from whom the family has received for
62 years. She says she thinks he might
have been attracted to Portland because
of the Exposition. Mrs. Boyd does not
state whether she intends to come to
Portland this Summer.

S
Democrats Must Have 5000
More to Beat Williams.
TO RAID REPUBLICAN CAMP
Citizens' Organization Is Depended
Upon to Draw Necessary Ballots
From Republican Ranks
Before Election Day.
Democrats figure that their Mayoralty
candidate. Dr. Harry Lane, will need be
tween SOCK) and 4000 Republican votes In
addition to a solid phalanx of 4000 or 5000
Democratic votes to beat Williams, the
Republican nominee.
In making this estimate. Democrats
count on a solid Democratic vote for
Lane, but there are Indications that all
Democrats will not line up. though a ma
jority of them undoubtedly will do so.
Old differences -between Lane and other
members of the party are expected to cost
Lane some Democratic votes, but the
Lane supporters declare very positively
that that will not come to pass. It is
bruited about town, that Lane's wrangle
with Pennoyer some years ago will haunt
the Democratic camp. When Pennoyer
was running for Mayor in 1S96. Lane wrote
bitter criticisms of his administration as
Governor.
In order to make Lane's election safe.
Democrats therefore seem in need of 50CO
Republican votes.
Center AH on Mayoralty.
Therefore they are planning to raid the
Republican camp, and in this effort they
are aided by the "Citizens' " organisa
tion, composed mostly of Republicans who
lined up with Albee in the primary fight
for the Republican nomination.
Democrats are centering their wholo
force on the Mayoralty, and expect to win
nothing else, save an occasional Council
man, yet not enough lawmakers to give
them control of the legislative branch of
the city government. Democratic leaders
would consider The Mayoralty In posses
sion of one of their number as a very'
rich prize, and make no bones about it.
In many respects they regard the May
oralty as containing more power for re
habilitation of their party than any office
in the state, not excepting the Governor
ship, now held by Georce E. Chamber
lain, Democrat. The executive govern
ment of Portland, under the new charter.
Is centered In one man. the Mayor, whose
patronage is large and whose authority
is as large as the framers of the charter,
following the one-man principle, could
make it.
Consequently Democrats are deeply con
cerned In the issue of Dr. Lane's can
didacy. Already Democrats are in possession of
three of the most important offices in the
state Governor, and Sheriff and. District
Attorney of Multnomah County, and lead
ers of the Democratic party do not deny
that the possession of the Mayoralty
would greatly strengthen Its hold.
Republican Voles Needed.
But Democrats realize that Lane can
not be elected without Republican votes.
In the city arc" about 21.000 registered elec
tors, nearly two-thirds of whom are Re
publican on National Issues. Democrats
rely on the "Citizens' organization, com
posed mostly of Republicans, to -"dr.w
them enough votes from the Republican
camp to elect Lane.
Estimates of the number of votes need
ed to elect range from o00 to. SOW. and of
the total vote, from 16.000 to 17.000. So
cialists and Prohibitionists arc expected
to poll 1500 of the total.
Mayor Williams will fire off the first
gun' of the campaign tonight in Gomez
Hall. Alblna. on Russell street, opposite
the Williams-Avenue School. He will
make five or six speeches In the course of
the campaign, most of them on the East
Side, and will probably wind up with one
on the West "Side, at the crowning rally
of the campaign.
Dr. Harry Lane, the Democratic nomi
nee, will make his first speech in South
Portland tomorrow night in Hobkirk Hall
and the next Wednesday night, in Gomez
Hall, Albina. Dr. Lane will also make
speeches In Sunnyslde and East Portland
and North Portland.
Two othf-r candidates for Mayor are In
the running, B. Lee Paget. Prohibition,
and J- W. Schrader, Socialist, who are In
the race not with any hope of winning
but for the purpose of showing the public
that their parties are alive.
DR. WILSON'S SUGGESTION
WHAT HE HAS TO SAY OF THE
INITIATIVE AXD SALOONS.
Asks Support of Press In Effort to
Revoke Licenses Near the
Fair Grounds.
rOHTLAXD, Or.. May 21. To the Editor.)
Permit me a word In regard to the article
In The Oregonlan ot thin morning entitled.
"Would Invoke the Initiative." The article
leaves the Impression that members of the
Anti-Saloon League had Initiated a movement
to secure the revocation of the llceneea of
raloona at the gates of the Lewis and Clark
grounds through an ordinance by initiative,
as provided for In the city charter, and that
.the movement was- forwarded largely through
my personal activity.
The provision of the charter in Question is
certainly of very great value, and it Is will
that the citizens of Portland should know that
It Is there. So long as It Is there, they aro
not so helplesa as they otherwise would be.
But 1 must confess to' total Ignorance ot thin
provision's being In the charter until a few
days ago, when a reporter of The Evening
Telegram called my attention to It as offering
a means of securing effective action against
tho saloons at the Lewis and Clark, galea in
case the petition to the Council should fall.
I said at once, that I would look iurthcr
into the matter, but through the press of
other duties It slipped my memory until my
attention was called to ,the same provision
yesterday by The Oregonlan. with the sug
gestion that public sentiment would sustain
an effort to invoke the Initiative against the
saloons at the Lewis and Clark entrance, and
that such a movement would have the sup
port of The Oregonlan.
I was at some pains yesterday to look Into
the matter with a view to ascertaining what.
In the few days remaining, could be dose.
The situation, as' 1 found It. seemed to me
Fubetantinlly a given by The Oregonlan this
morning. That is, it would require about
2200 signatures to the petition, embodying the
proposed orSlnance. In order to secure its
submission by the Council; that it was prob
able that elgnaturea could be fecured even
in the two or three days ,at command, and
that it would In that case ultimately depend
on the Itayor'a willingness to call a special
meeting of the Council. All this by way of
ascertaining what could be done. '
As a citizen Interested in the welfare and
good name of Portland. I am not ilxed to
shirk any responsibility in this matter. As
an Intelligent citizen I ought long ago to
have known of this provision ot the charter put
ting so b-ajportaat a power in the bands ot the
-people, but I 5W not. The credit of discov
ering it and of suggesting that It be put in

This is a Biatter ot the closest interest to

the people of this community have a right to
expect that the public preso, to which ther

J. P TVILSOX.
If the Anti-Saloon League, or any other
organization, or body of citizens, will take
the initiative in a movement against the
saloons at the Fair ates. It will have the
support of The Oregonlan. That Is all
that need be said at this time in response
to Dr. Wilson's: suggestion.
AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Agent Say.
"THE HEART OF 3IARYLAND"
Scats Now Selling Like Hot Cakes
for the Grand Bclasco Opening.
Both the Belasco box offices were
thronged Saturday with anxious theater
patrons trying to secure the choice loca
tions for the opening performances of the
great stock company which will open its
season on next Saturday night In the
beautiful romantic drama, "The Heart of
Maryland."
Public .interest ha been at high C pitch
for weeks ln 'htittcipaUQn of the opening
of the finest stock company Portland has
ever seen, and everywhere It has been
the principal topic of conversation. Indi
cations are that the big Washington
street theater will be sold out for the 12
"Maryland" performances before this
week Is half gone. Those who desire to
be "among those present" must get a
Broadway move on and secure seats at
once, or they will find themselves too
late. Start the season right by seeing the
opening performances, and you will there
after be enthusiastically enrolled under
the Belasco banner. Eugene Ormonde.
Lucia Moore. John Sainpolls. Virginia
Brissac and all the favorites will shine In
the opening bill, for there is room In
"The Heart of Maryland" for all. Buy
something of Bclasco today.
AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
At the Star.
Starting this afternoon, the Star The
ater will present another of Its all-feature
-programmes. The list of acts Is long
arid the quality such as Is sure to be
pleasing to the most critical. Barlow's
dog circus has been selected to head the
list- There has been a,number of animal
acts In Potrland. but this one comes' with
the reputation of being without a su
perior. Wise Milton & Co. are originators-
of laughter and what they do and
the way they do It Is different from
the upual sketch team. Young and Old,
a team of bright comedians, will present
"Jimmy the Newsboy," a neat novelty.
Miss Lee, ot Chicago, is a magnetic little
soubrette. Richard Burton, the phenome
nal baritone, and others, make up a
strong bill, not to overlook the Staro
scope. with an endless film of fun and
novelty.
The Grand Theater.
The Grand today offers Portland a real
sensation. Mujuna, whir plays the lead
ing role In "The Heart of a Girl," is a
real Indian Princess, who at an early
age was taken to France and there edu
cated. At Paris she played In all the
leading theaters and made a tremendous
hit- Though highly cultivated, she still
clings to the habits and customs of her
people. Even on the street she wears
her Indian costumes. She Is the first and
only real Indian actress In the world and
her work possesses the highest dramatic
excellence. In addition to this strong and
unique feature, tho bill contains the Man
rinos, Japanese pedal manipulators; Edle
Ernie, the champion monopede; Cheveril,
trick violinist; Mulvey and Ward, com
edians; Nancy Rice, celebrated harpist;
Mr. Joe Bonner in a late Illustrated song
and the Grandiscopc.
New Feature Hill nt Baker.
This afternoon marks the beginning of
the Baker Theater's new all-feature bill
which will run through the week. From
beginning to end the programme is a
strong one. and affords a wide variety of
excellent entertainment. To go to the
Baker this week is to laugh and enjoy
yourself. Heading the feature acts is Ed
Moncrief, of Moncrlef and Smith. Mr.
Moncricf is known far and wide as one
of the few stars In vaudeville, and Smith
is rapidly gaining a wide reputation for
fun-making. Miss Irene Franklin Is one
of the few women who have mastered
the cornet and she has few peers on the
difficult ' instrument. Adams brothers,
acrobatic dancers, have an act that is
something new In Its line, and which has
already made a distinct hit. Among the
other features are the two Tannics, violin
and clarionet players; the two Healeys,
talkers and singers, whose merriment
convulses their audiences; Jean Wilson,
the popular baritone In a new Illustrated
ballad; the Bakerograph. presenting
Mrlklng new life-motion pictures, and
Baker's Orchestra under, the direction of
Professor Anton ZHm.

That healthy old favorite, Henry J.
Byron's comedy drama, "Blow for Blow,"
In which there are plenty ot laughs and
emotional scenes, without anybody being
killed, entertained crowds at the Empire.
Theater yesterday and will be the bill'
this week. The offering is English. Is
well staged, and the actor most heartily
applauded was Frank Montgomery, who
wore a black silk handkerchief over his
throat to cover the wound he received
last Wednesday when he was accidentally
stabbed. Mr. Montgomery is an aristo
crat this week, for in the prologue he Is a
lieutenant In the British navy, and
afterward a rich English baronet. His'
work is to be commended. The surprise
of the cast is the 'cleverness shown by
Charles W. York, who has Improved
since former days at the Columbia Thea
ter. Mr. York plays the part of a newly
rich man with a weakness for horses,
and shows genuine humor. So did Edith
Montrose, as Kitty Wobbler, housemaid
and milliner. They two showered most
of the fun around. Metta Chamberlain
presents a dual part anil, does It well,
that of a twin sister where there Is the
usual mix-up in Identity. George B. Ber

WILL ASK FOR MOTOR-CARS
Farmers Between Portland nntl Ore
gon City AVant the Service.
Farmers along the Southern Pacific
Railway between Portland and Oregon
City will ask the management of that
railway company to put on a motor-car
service. They are confident that It will
pay the company to run a gasoline car
over that route. The track Is so far east
ot the Oregon City electric car line
that it will not materially Interfere
with that line. Last year the farmers,
organized, wltu C. F. Clark, of Clack
amas, at their head, to get an electric
line built, but were not successful, and
are now hopeful that they will get a gas
oline motor put on at least to Oregon City.
The statistics the organization then gath
ered show that there will be a large local
traffic for such a service.
Captain J. T. Apperson, of Oregon
City, says that he had been informed
that the Southern Pacific Company
contemplated putting on motor-cars at
first as far south as Salem, and per
haps farther, but that would come after
the car had been operated on the Forest
Grove run for a while.
