6 THE 3IORNIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11,. '190U. ALLINGER WILL PROBABLY RUN Seattle Friends Urge Him to Stand for Re-Election to the Mayoralty. PILES STARTS MOVEMENT Fusion Between Municipal Owner ship and Labor Union Factions "Will Bc-Used to Fight Him In the Campaign. SEATTLE, "Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.) Mayor R. A. -Ballingcr will probably bo the Republican nominee for Mayor and on the ticket will serve with him Cor poration Counsel Scott Calhoun and Con troller John Rlplinger. both of whom are certain of renomination. The other nom inations are in doubt. The principal fight against Ballingcr's re-election will be made by a fusion be tween the Municipal Ownership and Labor Union elements. If the Municipal Owner ship crowd dictates the nomination, George F. Cotterill will be the candidate for Mayor. The labor loaders who arc in a position to speak for their following declare Cotterill is satisfactory to them. But the labor leaders, If left to them selves, would profer Matthew Dow, a contractor; W. D. Wood, attorney, or W. h. Moore, Democratic lawyer, ox Judge and member of the State Legisla ture. John E. Humphries, perennial candidate and the man who precipitated the Munici pal Ownership fight, wants to be nomi nated for Corporation Counsel. The Municipal Ownership crowd is trying to drop him and may Induce the labor lead ers to demand the place and shove Hum phries aside. But as he started the agi tation and paid early hall rent out of his own pocket, Humphries is a hard man to drop. Files Urges Ballingcr. Mayor Ballingcr has stated positively that he will accept a renomination only in the event It is shown him that he owes a public duty which can only be fulfilled by acceptance. United States Senator S. H. Piles began the movement to con vince Mayor Ballingcr that he was obli gated in that way, and prominent Re publicans have been working hard to con vince the Mayor that he should take the office. In view of the fact that the fight of the municipal ownorship-labor union crowd is directed squarely against the Ballingcr policies and that the Mayor represents pretty much of everything the fusion crowd docs not he is pretty certain to yield and ac copt a nomination. In fact, the prob ability of his nomination is so strong that it is hardly worth while counting up the other Republican possibilities. Councilman "William Murphy, a con vert from Democracy of less than two years standing, wants the Republican nomination, but he wants it on a muni cipal ownership platform. John F. Miller was Mayor Ballingcr's choice as his successor befor.e the pressure on Ballingcr became so strong. Mil ler is now principal Assistant County Attorney and would only accept the nomination in the event Ballingor re fused it. There has been talk of forc ing C- J. Smith, the man who managed Senator Piles' fight, into the Mayor alty nice, but Ma. Smith doos nut want the office- He wants Mayor Bal lingcr to keep it. Fight to Be a Bitter One. The question of the Republican nom inations is really a serious matter for the fight is likely to be a bitter one. The indications are that the Repub lican ticket will be elected, but al most any complication could come of the fusion between municipal owner ship and labor factions. The fusion crowd will hold a mass convention on Saturday, January 20. It is very probable that the loaders of the two crowds will, in the mean time, agree upon a slate. The muni cipal ownership leaders are trying to .arrange a ticket, but, of course, can not agree unless the labor leaders arc willing. They themselves are afraid the situation will get away from them if a programme convention is ar ranged. If the labor loaders tried to do so they could easily control the mass convention. They can turn out hundreds of labor union men who would fill the hall. If forced Into a corner by municipal owner ship eagerness for the offices the labor leaders would very promptly order out a big following of their own people. Thus far the two factious have had no trouble in agreeing. The labor leaders claim they want a municipal ownership man named for Mayor, insisting the while that he must be someone satisfactory to them. The labor leaders then want to till up pretty much -of what is left of the ticket. Bid to the Suburbanites. A. demand for municipal ownership will be the principal feature of the platform. There will be a few odds and ends thrown in but they will not have the im portant bearing that the municipal own ership feature lias. In the outlying dis tricts where car service Is bad this will be a big card. Down town the labor leaders arc expected to poll their trades union vote to fill up. A fight between John Clancy and Otto Case, the latter County Clerk and chair man of the Republican city committee, occurred this morning. Case has insisted Rll the way through on a big convention r.nd opposed granting one delegate at large for each city precinct. Clancy voted with him In the committee, but has since favored the apportionment whicli was given. Case, smarting under defeat, has been trying to induce the committee to agree to reconvene and adopt the Case apportionment plan. He Is said to have harshly criticised Clancy and the latter went to Case's office to chastise him. Bevcral blows woro exchanged before avputies parted 'them. Clancy was for years, a strong power m tenderloin-politics. In the last county convention he 'headed a delegation that was ejected because of- gross irregulari ties in the conduct of the primaries. He represents the First Ward on the city committee, but has moved into the Third. Clancy is now malting a hard fight to re lain control of the First Ward politics.

Agitating the Matter of Securing legislation on Subject May Form un Association. EUGENE. Or., Jan. 10. (Special.) A uumbor of hopgrowers of this vicinity arc agitating the matter of securing legisla tion to bettor some of the troubles of hopgrowers. A meeting will be held here soon and an attompt made at organizing an association for the benefit of the in dustry. One of the worst complaints against the dealers, for which it Is believed relief might be had by legislation, is in the matter of rejections upon inspection. On this point the plan Is to secure a law providing for a state Inspector, whose duty it would be to inspect and grade all hops and brand the grade on each bale, so that sales would be made upon this inspection and the common complaints of dealers, after they have bargained for a purchase, would be "wiped out. It has been a cause of much provoca tion to the growprs the way the Inspect ors usually act when "going through" a lot of hops. They will throw out a num ber of bales from some lots without cause and make all kinds of complaints: and, if the market has weakened since the bargain was made the grower con fidently expects that the hops will be called "broken." "high dried," "slack dried." "mouldy." etc., and If nothing else is complained of then "not up to sample" Is the charge that turns down many bales. The growers think this one of the first things that should be corrected by legislation. It is proposed to have similar organi zations in other parts of the state and to form a state federation for mutual good and to accomplish unity of effort on all important matters. TIIOMS OWES THE LEAGUE. Said to Have Used Over $3000 of Anti-Saloon Money. SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. 10. (9pecIal.)-J. C. Thorns, ex-superintendent of the Anti Saloon League, for several years a well known figure at political conventions and legislative sessions, owes the league $3103.34. Two Judgments for that amount were secured on behalf of the organiza tion today. - r Officers of the league claim that Thorns claimed to have allowed his wife ?15W as his assistant in office work, but failed to account for the remainder of the money. When the discovery of the shortage was made Thorns was allowed to go without criminal proceedings being instituted. He went to Alaska for some time, but sub sequently returned and is now In the East. The society claims the judgments will be held, and If Thorns acquires any prop erty an effort will be made to enforce them. Thorns is the man who. during the legis lative session of 1903, made a vicious at tack upon one of the Senate committees. He preaclfed a sermon that provoked a heated session between himself and tho committee the following day. During the course of that conversation Thorns re tracted.

CLIENT IS IN A BAD FIX Lawyer Miller Will Appear for Or chard at Hearing Saturday. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 10. (Special.) The preliminary examination of Harry Orch ard, accused of tho murder of ex-Governor Steunenbcrg, will be held at Cald well Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The defense asked to have It postponed for a week, but after a conference of the prose cution here tonight it was determined to proceed with It Saturday. The chemists have not quite finished their work and will not be ready until Friday, night. Attorney Fred Miller, of Spokane, who is to defend the prisoner, said today: "I am in no hurry in this matter. As far as I have learned thero has been no evidence gathered against this man that cannot be refuted when the right timo comes. The detectives are making all kinds of bluffs. They will never get evi dence enougii to convict this man. I'll admit the man is in a bad fix and that it will be hard work to clear him. The reward offered is so big that it has evi dently tempted some of the officers to strain a few points." Mr. Miller came to Boise on the after noon train. The reason he had for com ing was that he wanted to "see the city," buthe later admitted that one of the objects of his trip is to procure the ser vices of a resident attorney. The exhibits now, being analyzed in Boise by Chemist Jones consist of powders and liquids sup posed to be of explosive nature. Some of them were found In Orchard's valises and trunk, others were found in the room of the suspect and others were found at other places, particularly a certain whitish powder, found near the scene of the explosion that caused the death of the murdered man. It Is hinted that these exhibits, after being analyzed by the expert, will prob ably be the most Important evidence brought forward in the preliminary exam ination by the prosecution. It will be the aim of County Attorney Van Duyn to hold back the most important evidence collected against Orchard until the actual trial commences, presenting only enough to insure the prisoner's being held over for trial in the District Court. The Prose cuting Attorney and his associates have no doubt but that the prisoner will be bound over. The defense will not waive the exami nation, as was previously announced. Miller will undoubtedly put up a strong fight In behalf of Orchard, not with the hope of getting his client released, but with the hope of drawing out as much as possible the evidence in the hands of the prosecution. On account of the meager seating ac commodations of Judge Church's court room another place may be chosen for holding the preliminary- If not. a large percentage of the general public will be barred from the proceedings. After a long conference with the Gov cmornd others tonight. James McPar land. detective from Denver, raid he thought a strong case had been made. Defense Asks for Time. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 10. The defense in the case of Harry Orchard, accused of as sassinating ex-Governor Steunenbcrg, has asked for a postponement of the prelim inary" hearing for a week. It has not been acceded to, but attorneys for the prosecu tion are holding a conference here tonight for the purpose of determining when to proceed. The chemists have not complet ed the analysis of the powder and other materials found In Orchard's room at Caldwell, after his arrest, and It is thought the hearing will bo postponed a short time on that account." It was an nounced for tomorrow, but It will not be held before Friday, and perhaps not this week. James McPartland arrived here this evening from Denver. He is In conference with the Governor tills evening. It Is the understanding that the famous detective was asked to come here to give advice In the situation and assist In arrangements for entering the force of men at work, so the alleged conspiracy may be run down in all Its ramifications.

SPARKS GIVES OPINION Clark Comity Attorney Says the fright to Grant Such Privilege 31ns Never Been Granted County Commissioners. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Jan. 10.-(Spc-clal.) For th past few months the County Commissioners of Clark County have been considering the granting of franchises to electric railway companies upon the public roads. Two companies have been eagerly seeking to get fran chises through the county for the pur pose of building and operating a road, one the St. Helens Public Service Com pany, backed by Dr. Coe. and the Van couver & Suburban, In which local peo ple are Interested. The question as to the legal right of the County Commissioners to grant a franchise was questioned. Today Prosecuting Attorney W. W. Sparks rendered an opinion In which ho declares that the Washington Legislature alono has the right to grant, a franchise. The opinion addressed to the Board of County Commissioners, Is as follows: Replying to your query "Has the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Clark, State of Washington, the right to grant to a railway company a fran chise to lay down, relay, construct, maintain, equip and operate an electric railway In and upon the public highways of the county?" will say that I am ot the opinion that such power is not vested in the Board ot County Commissioners. It would seem apparent that a Board of County Commissioners In this state has no power to grant any such privilege or franchise as Is asked for by the com panies petitioning therefor. The Board has, under our statute, power to lay out, discontinue or alter county roads or high ways within their respective counties out side of incorporated towns or cities. The privilege to build and operate an electric railway Is, In my judgment, wholly foreign to any express or implied power conferred by statute. The power to grant a franchise such as Is asked for In this case must be derived from the Legislature. Our Legislature has. in no Instance, given Boards ot Commissioners this right. The general principle of law Is settled beyond controversy, that the agents, of ficers, or even City Council of a munici pal corporation, cannot bind the corpora tion by any contract which is beyond tho scope of its powers or entirely foreign to the purposes of the corporation, or which (not being legislatively authorized). Is against public policy. The duties of pub lic officers being prescribed by statutes, any act ot theirs not so prescribed would be illegal. The opposite doctrines would be fraught with such danger and accom panied with such abuse that it would soon ond in the ruin of municipalities, or be legislatively overthrown. Mr. Sparks in speaking of the matter today said that he had asked the opinion of the Attorney-General about the mat ter and expected to receive a reply very soon. Dr. Coe. of the St. Helens Public Ser vice Company, spent a good part of tho day with the Commissioners, but noth ing of any consequence resulted from the conference. The Commissioners adjourned this evening and laid the matter over un til some future date. Clackamas Fruitgrowers Bally. OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 10. (Special.)

Mathias Garrant was arrested by Con stable James West today and charged with attempting criminal assault on Mrs. Malcolm St. Clair.
