Tvnf MORNING OREGONIAN, THTBSDAT, JUNE 99, 1905. 16 IM WILL 1ST TELL Not -Ready to Announce His Chief of Police. TAKES OFFICE SATURDAY Until Then He Declares That He Will Xot Divulge Who Are to Be Named for Vacancies He Will Create. ''I'm not yet Mayor." responded Br. JLane yesterday, when asked who would be his .Chief of Police, "and until I'm Mayor I shall not make any appoint ments." And because the new Mayor will not take up the reins of the city go-ernment until next Saturday, he will cut no pie ere that time. The Mayor-elect does not deny that he has men in mind for the se-eral Jobs, but intimates that since circumstances might arise before next Saturday to alter his selections, he "will not make known his choices before that day. A leader of the Municipal Association said yesterday that the Mayor-elect had evidently not chosen his Chief of Police and that there were Ftrong indications that none of the cllgibles so far on ,lhe list was of the right material; therefore Dr. Lane might make only a temporary selection, until he could And the right man for the Job. In that case, one of the present captains of police might be pro moted, either Charles Gritzmacher. Demo crat, or George H. Bailey, Republican. Dr. Lane has not taken Democratic leaders into his confidence nor asked their advice, except perhaps in a few cases; consequently many men who have con sidered themselves leaders In the Demo cratic party are ignorant of line's Inten tions. Some of them are saying that mem bers of the Municipal League are not dwelling In the same darkness, but lead ers of that organization deny that Dr. Lane has shown any partiality to them selves. Dozen Men Mentioned. Nearly a dozen men have been talked of for the Police Chief Job, since Lanes election. First of them was John La mont. an old-time Democratic warhorse. who was boomed by the Sweek-Mannlng. Malley influence, but who has since con tested himself out of the race. Next to bob up was L. T. Peery. representing the element that has fought the Sweek con tingent In primaries and conventions hitherto. Then came G. P. Morden, Re nublican Deputy Sheriff under Tom "Word, but he put the kibosh on his own boom by declaring that he would prefer to stay In the Sheriff's omce. Anotner Republican groomed for the honor was Captain E. W. Spencer, but ne promptly announced that he wanted to run his Bteamboat and not a police force. A. F. Flenel had a boom at one time, but it collapsed: likewise M. J. cionessy. wno was- Chief under Mayor Pennoyer. About that time William Reidt hove in sight; likewise John Drlscoll and John Sperry. Dave Houston, railroad conductor, was the recipient of a boom; also Joe""Rellly Finally Captain Gritzmacher and Captain Bailey were trotted out Into the course. A strong pull was made for Lamont by Alex Sweek. John Manning. M. J. Malley and Governor Chamberlain, but Lane turned them all down, and yesterday La mont was telling his friends that he was out of the race. The story coes that Lane nut his foot down hard. A con ference had been arranged for last Sun day in. Manning's office, between Lane and the friends of Lamont. but Lane re fused to attend the rendezvous. Malley, Sweek and Manning used the telephone for all it was worth, and persisted in hunting Lane up. When they found him they pot a refusal. Stories of a rupture between Lane and Chamberlain have been afloat ever since, but they are scored as false on both sides. As evidence of the cordiality be tween the two. It was told yesterday that the Governor and the new Mayor walked the streets arm In arm, seemingly as af fectionate as ever. !Xcv Mayor's Cabinet. The new Mayor's cabinet of 10 men constituting the Executive Board, will be an Important branch of the city govern ment. and the appointments thereto are awaited with Intense Interest. Among the men spoken of most prominently for the board are Richard W. Montague, who was chairman of Lane s campaign com mlttee; John M. Gearln. T. G. Greene, R. D. Inman and Marcus G. Flelschner. all Democrats Others are: A. F. Flegel. F. V. Holman. Thomas O'Day. D. M. Don augh. John Montag. G. W. Allen and L. T. Poery. also Democrats. The most promlnont Republicans talked of for ap pointment to the Executive Board are Dr. Andrew C. Smith. George H. Howell, H. R. Albee. C. W. Nottingham. E. a Bronaugh, Samuel Connell and R. Llv- lncstono. Other important appointments to be made by the new Mayor are: One mem bcr of the Civil Service Commission, building Inspector, plumbing Inspector and deputy, and perhaps Mayor's secre tary. Should the new Mayor dismiss the present water, park and health boards, several other fat Jobs would be made available for new men. such as snperin tendent and chief engineer In the water department: City Physician and Health Officer in the health department: and Parkkeeper in the park department Many Democrats are trying to persuad Dr. Lane to dismiss the present boards appointed by Mayor Williams, and make a clean sweep, but other strong Influences are working on Dr. Lane the other way. of portions of the Western Pacific la Utah.

Portland railroad men -would not be surprised to hear of the return of Worthlngton to the Coast In that ca pacity. FIR IN EASTERN MARKETS Oregon Lumber Is Growing In De mand on Atlantic Seaboard. Harry McCormick. operating two big mills at McCormick. Wash- has Just re turned from an extended Eastern trip and stated last evening that conditions of the lumber market were most satis factory at the present time throughout the country. "Our fir is constantly reaching markets further toward the Atlantic, and Phila delphia dealers tell me that grades of hemlock that have been so generally used in large orders are running out and that it will be only a matter of two or three years until big consumers there will have to come to the Pacific Coast for fir to take its place. Railroads of the East have had great difficulty in getting big orders filled recently and must soon look to this region for relief. I think the Fall trade will be better than that of the Spring and Summer, and the demand is already strong and quite satisfactory. Mills are beginning te run night shifts that have not done so for a long while, in an attempt to fill orders. What Is more gratifying Is that there is a san guine feeling among business men that conditions will continue to improve steadily. "Yellow pine is steadily advancing in price, although there has been no ad- ance on fir. If fir producers stood more firmly together better prices would be realized, as Justified by conditions, and Is surprising that any dealers should now be willing to sell below list, as has been done in some Instances, although advances should be made if any varia tion whatever should follow." Ttagi Tells of Its Influence on European Schools. The Portland art class, of which Mrs. H. C Wortman is president, and which Is composed of 168 representative women of the city, listened to .an interesting lec ture on "Influence of the Japanese Schools of Painting on European Art" esterday afternoon at the Art Museum which was given by L Nagi, through his interpreter. Jiro Harada. Mr. Nagi is an artist of repute and is well Informed on the history' of Japanese art. Mr. Harada. who Interpreted for him. is the secretary of the Japan Exhibit Association at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. His Eng lish is good and his translation was put In attractive form. Mr. Nagi began with the Kose school of painting, reviewing all schools down to the present time and the Influence Western art has had upon each. He claims that most of the modern French paintings are strongly influenced by the Japanese schools. Japan has re ceived perspective and light shadow from the Western art. The former Is sug gestive, the latter objective, the tend ency of both being to harmonize the two. Mr. Nagi used as illustrations about 2 paintings, representing the progress of the different schools. These paintings will hang in the museum until Saturday. The lecture was thoroughly enjoyed and well attended, several hundred ladles be- Imr present. The event was made pos- Ible through the courtesy or Mrs. George McBride, who obtained the consent of Mr. Nagi and Mr. Harada to appear be fore the class. WESTERN PACIFIC MANAGER .Report Has It That B. A. Worthing ton May Get Place. From San Francisco comes the infor matibn that B. A. Worthlngton, recently general manager and vice-president of the Oregon lines of the Harrlman system, now vice-president of the Wheeling & Lake Erie road, may soon return to the Pacific Coast as general manager of the new Western Pacific Company, of the Gould interests. It is claimed that previous to Mr. Worthlngton's selection to head the Har rlman interests in the Northwest. George J. Gould had heard of his ability as mllroad man In conferences with flnan clers interested in the Western Pacific and that he was considered as Invaluable to the enterprise because of his intimate knowledge of California, where many obstacles will be met that must be sur mounted before trains will actually ar rive and depart from a Pacific port over the first really transcontinental road con tolled by one man. Election as vice president of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Is now said to have been simply a part of the plan thoroughly to acquaint Mr. Worthlngton with the immense traffic of the eastern end of the system that will form a port of the transcontinental busi ness no other road may command, and with details of the Gould plans, after which he will be returned to San Fran cisco as head of the western interests tC the' companies. "Awarding of contracts. for construction LECTURE ON JAPANESE ART EDITORS GO TO ASTORIA Have an Interesting Day at Mouth of Columbia. Yesterday the members f the National Editorial Association boarded the Astoria and Columbia River morning train and descended upon the cities of Astoria and Seaside. They returned on the evening train, their eyes still wide open with wonder, and they declared that the coun try between Portland and Seaside ana in the neighborhood of the Utter place was about as near Paradise as they expected to get In this world. All appeared delighted witn tne utile side trip. Many remained la Astoria for a time, going to Seaside later in the day. They made an effort at Astoria to visit points of historical Interest, and marveled at the Venice-like surrounamgs or tne Cltv by the Sea. Some chartered a tug and went out as far as the bar, getting a glimpse of Fort Stevens and Fort Canbv. At Seaside the day was spent in va rious ways. A few took a aip in mo Pacific others snatched an hour to whip thft trout streams, and some drifted away to the beauty spots abounding in- that sec tion of Oregon. When the train left ror Portland there were many who wished they might remain longer In Seaside. Today the editors will amuse mem selves further, and it is expected that the special bearing the party will depart from Portland tonight, the -visitors car rying with them many fond remem brances of Portland, the Exposition and Oregon.
