L4 HOME RULE FOR MUNICIPALITIES Multnomah Democratic Club linon 14-onif rtn Onnnrrl for Utilities. IT ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS Declares It Will Work for Uie Ending . of Perpetual Franchises, Es pecially of the Portland ' '--Gas Company f Termination of the present gas franchise In tmsjclty Is the demand of the Multno mah Democratic Club, -which last Bight adopted -vigorous resolutions calling on 'its members "to "work faithfully for ending perpetual franchises, of -whatever nature, particularly the Portland Gas Company s franchise." The club also" -went on record as favoring municipal ownership of public utilities. . ' A The Multnomah Democratic Club and Its twin, the Young Men's Democratic Club, are the two organizations in . Portland which keep the sacred fire of the party burning through all the storms and fuel ramines that havo been threatening Its life. The Young Men's Club wlU meet to morrow night, probably to consider simi lar resolutions. The Multnomah Clu,ls headed hy A. E. Ream, president, and John B. Ryan, secretary; and active spir its like Joe Malley, Pat Powers, Alex Sweek, John Lamont, C. B. "Williams, E. Versteeg and George I Hutchln. The other organization Is headed by John Mon tag, president; J. G. Meybrunn and oth ers of the type- of S. C. Armitage. George H. Thomas, G. W. Allen, John Van Zante, I T. Peery, Patrick Maher, the two Fo ley, William and James. Stars at Meeting. Last night's galaxy contained such stars as Patrick Powers, John B. Ryan. A. El Ream, George I. Hutchln, John Lamont, Alex Sweek. General Killfeather, Joq Mal ley, Cadmus B. Williams, J. E. Malley, Dr. J. W. Morrow, R. A. Wade, B. Ver steeg, Charles Petrain and Charles E. Chamberlain. General Killfeather Jn a very florid speech announced that he would be a can didate for the Democratic nomination for Representative to the Legislature, and that he would fight for the people's rights. If elected, as mightily as the strongest armed patriot In the bunch. In the course of his remarks the General sailed Into "Johnny-Un Boorn" and "Pat Broon," saying that Mr. Bourne had things "all fixed up In the Republican party and the rest of the Republicans were all asleep." Resolutions as Adopted. In the adoption of the resolution as to franchises, not one dissenting voice was heard. The resolutions as nroduced bv Pat Powers were: Believing: in the supreme power of the common people, the only soverelgnti recognized as rulers in this republic of demorcr&cy; and Whereas, Organized wealth has become in solent and greatly favored; be It Resolved, That wc, as citizens and members of the .Multnomah Democratic Club, pledge ourselves to work faithfully for the municipal OT.DerbIp of -public utilities; For tho election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people: For rigid enforcement of state health laws; For ending perpetual franchises of what cver nature, particularly the Portland Gas Company's franchise; For an eight-hour Jaw for women employes and for an eight-hour law for men; For ownership of the state printing plant by tho state, and a flat salary for tho State Printer: For maintenance of Chinese exclusion laws .nd a law that will apply equally to the Japanese: For taxation of gross earnings of corpora tions as proposed by the State Grange; For municipal control of cities without Interference of state authorities. The Multnomah Club is arranging for a series of public meetings for all Demo crats. Heretofore its meetings have been open to members only. The club plans to make an active campaign for the June election, In connection with the Young Men's Club, and last night directed Pres ident Ream to appoint a committee of three members to confer with a like com mittee of the other club, to that end. The purpose of the joint committee as to the primaries will be to cause enough patriots to enter the Democratic pri maries to insure the filling of the party ticket. Ah effort Is to be made by the Word element to secure the indorsement of the two clubs, such a plan having been foiled at the last meeting of the Young Men's Club fey a narrow margin. Tho Multno mah Club recently announced hostility to Word by announcing C B. Williams as its candidate for Sheriffi and the Young Men's Club elected as its presi dent Word's most Implacable enemy. John Montag. But Williams has with drawn from the race, and the Multnomah Club la turning its eyes toward Joe Mal ley for a standard-bearer. The Young Men's Club In the last city campaign refrained from Indorsing any Democrat for Mayor, choosing to keep the gate open to all comers. Leaders of the club will endeavor to continue this policy In the primary nomination for Sheriff, but the Word people are strong in the. organization, and will probably en deavor to force through a Word Indorse ment, as they almost succeeded in doing at the last meeting.

The following is the official proclama tion of the patriotic instructor concerning observance of National days: "With rapid strides our country has come to occupy a prominent place among the nations of the earth. Our National greatness Is not due alone to the extent of our territory, the abundance of our ma terial wealth, nor even our mental culture, but rather to our high Ideals of manhood left us by the deeds of the great men God has given us. The best exponent of the greatness of a nation Is Its great men, and a full aprpeclation of Its great men Is the surest promise of continued and in creasing National worth and influence. "Among tho great men whom God has given us, Lincoln and Washington will forever stand out at the head. The cus tom ot observing the birthdays of these two men is both educative and beautiful. The dates of these days are Lincoln, Feb ruary 12; Washington, February 22. There fore, as "state instructor in patriotism. Grand Army of the Republic, I must ear nestly and cordially recommend to all G. A. R. posts, public and private schools and churches of all denominations to ob serve these two days In the most fitting way. Free use of the nag, tle singing of patriotic songs, extracts from the sayings of these two great men and addresses by the most eminent men and women In the community, will most certainly help es sentially In keeping alive our love of coun try and prepare our youth for an honor able part in perpetuating the blessings of liberty, morality and pence bequeathed to us by the high-minded men who gave us the Republic. In behalf of the Grand Army of the Republic of the State of Ore gon, I am most truly yours. "M. L. PRATT, "Patriotic Instructor G. A. IL" Mysterious Person Sends Evi dence at Washington. FINDS DAMAGING LETTER Professor M. L. Pratt. j . I OREGONIANSVISIT DIAZ. deceived by the fexfcaa President - v at the National Palace. A party of Oregonlans consisting- of State Senator and Mrs. Dan Malarkey. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Fulton, State Senator and Mrs. Herbert Holman. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Sanborn', and Miss Florence Hilton, now traveling in Mexico, recently had the honor of being received and Riven a private interview by President Diaz In his private apartments in the National Palace, Mexico City. An interview of this kind is considered an unsual favor and the party feels that It is Indebted to Senator Charles W. Fulton for the honor as he arranged through the Department of State at Washington to have the pre sentations made. Mr. McCreary, Charge d' Affaires at Mexico City, was Instructed by Secretary Root to arrange the recep tion and was with President Diaz when the party entered the Palace. Mr. Fulton acted as spokesman for the party and Mr. McCreary was interpreter. President Diaz does not speak English, but Is re ported by his Oregonian visitors to be of charming personality, fine looking and possessed of much character. He Is 72 years old. but looks to be at least ten years younger. Senator Malarkey writes a fascinating account or uie visit to the palace, de scribing the finishing and furnishings of the palace as rich and beautiful, silk tapestries, mahogany woodwork, maxnlfl cent -paintings, cut glass chandeliers, and other rich accessories. "We were all de lighted -with President Diaz," concluded the Senator, "and he In turn seemed much pleased with us." 500 PAIRS 0FFREE SEATS $1.50 the Leg, Per Pair.

Who is the raysierious person or per sons who are after the scalp of William C. Bristol, the lawyer whom Francis J. Heney recommended for United States j District Attorney. Since Mr. Bristol became United States District Attorney It has been apparent that some one was after his official head and long before the published announce ment from Washington came, there was talk of h"ls appointment being turned down when It came time for the Senate to act. Friends of Mr. Bristol scoffed at the stories and declared that when his name came before the Senate the ap pointment would be confirmed. But they reckoned without the myster ious persons who, following the lead ot others, have" delved Into the private his tory of candidates for office from Ore gon and have had a hand In blocking their appointments. Since the news came from Washington that charges of un professional conduct had been lodged against Mr. Bristol, he and his friends have been vainly trying to discover who It was that had made the charges. The fact that Francis Heney had recom mended Mr. Bristol was a signal for those who were under Are because ot the land fraud exposures to get busy and It Is rumored that It was through some of these men that the charges against Mr. Bristol were mado In Washington. Among the number of those who are ac cused of being after Mr. Bristol's scalp is W. F. Matthews, former United States Marshal. Mr. Matthews Is out ot the city and cannot make a denial. When the dispatches from Washington announced that the appointment of Mr. Bristol would be withdrawn because of charges of unprofessional conduct, the dentlty of those behind the charges was not known. Mr. Bristol became Indig nant at the publication of the dispatch In The Oregonian and has stoutly refused to make a statement concerning the charges. Now it devolves that L. H. Maxwell, a deputy county assessor and secretary of the Coos Bay Land & Investment Com pany, Is ready to stand by the charge that Bristol wrote the letter referred to In The Oregonlan's dispatches to the Coos Bay Land & Investment Company. This letter, Mr. Maxwell says, was for the purpose of soliciting money for aid ing in selling lands to Page & Hoberg, for whom Bristol was reputed to be act ing as attorney In the deal. Tho Coos Bay Land & Investment Company was organized by Portland men for the purpose of buying and selling Coos Bay lands at the time ot the first railroad excitement four years ago. . T. C Stevens, president of the company, declines to dlscurs the Bristol charges. The firm which Mr. Bristol Is alleged to have represented In the deal with the Coos Bay Company is made up of James E. Page and Frank Hoberg. who have offices In the Chamber of Commerce building. Mr. Hobcrc declares that he never employed Mr. Bristol and never paid him a dollar In attorney fees, while on the other hand Mr. Maxwell declares that Mr. Bristol wrote the letter asking the Coos Bay Company for a lump sum to procure nis influence in consummating the deal. Mr. Maxwell said yesterday: lct(er Is Authentic "I will state positively that Mr. Bristol wrote a letter to the Coos Bay Land & Investment Company in June, 150C The Oregonian printed this extract from that letter. 'In view of the fact that what I might say or do may have considerable Influence on the result of the transaction, I suggest that you call your people to gether and let me know: what lump sum you are willing to pay me In case the. deal goes through. "While I have not the letter before me at the present time, I can vouch for the fact that it Is, as near as I can remem ber. Identically the same as the text of Mr. Bristol's letter. At that time we were negotiating for the sale of certain property for 40,CCO. While we considered his demands somewhat exorbitant, not to say unprofessional, nevertheless we gave them some consideration, for we desired to dispose of tho property. Previous to this time I, personally, had not known Mr. Bristol and I believe none of the Arm knew him. Neither did we know Page and Hoberg. except as being In business. They were th parties to whom we were trying to sell the property." When asked if he had a copy of the letter written by Bristol. Mr. Maxwell renlled. "I did make a coDr of the letter. but ha-p. mislaid It, for after searching zor Jl x nave oeea unouic u locate iu Maxwell's Mysterious Friend. "How did the original letter get Into the hands of Senator Fulton, and later to the President?" Maxwell was asked. "Some time ago a very dear friend of mine requested me to let him have the letter, and I compiled with his request." When asked as to the Identity of the friend' in question. Mr. Maxwell refused to divulge his name, and added that he had no Intimation as to the use the letter was to be put. -John Andrew, treasurer of the Coos Bay Land & Investment Company, stated In an Interview yesterday that his company had received, a letter from W. C Bristol, in which he agreed to sell a piece of land to his clients, and stipulated that the company should pay hlnx J300 for so do ing. The Coos Bay Land St Investment Company was anxious to dispose ot the property named, and held a meeting to decide on what course they should take relative to the request of Bristol. Al though believing the fee of J30 for en gineering the sale ot the property as rather high, they Informed Bristol that they would agree and considered that sum as a fee. For some reason the sale was not consummated,' but the complete record of the transaction is believed to be on the books of tho company. During the negotiations Bristol was reputed to be the attorney for Page & Hoberg.
