Tiled Notice of Candidacy.
The 14 men have filed notice of their
candidacies, for Republican primary nom-
lnatipn with the County "CJlerk, in com-,;
pllanfr with the law. which requires them
ao to do before circulating: 'their primary
petitions. In the case of George, M. Orton,
candidate for Joint Senator, Multnomah
and Clackamas, the notice has been filed
wlththe Secretary of State at Salem.
The, direct primary Sv If, observed
the election of Senator.3cteki','.Buccessor,
will "take the selection -fronv" thei;egis
laturc and give it to' th& y$e'rs at the
primaries April 20 and 'the election June 4.
Aspirants will go into the primaries the
same as for any other office, and the
Republican and the Democrat who shall
receive the largest primary vote of his
respective party will be the candidate of
that party for the election. The one of
the two who shall receive the highest vote
in the election will be known as the "peo
ple's idholce." and, If the primary law
shall be follqwed, will be elected by the
X.eglsaturc, though the Leglsaturc will
not be bound by the law; only by tho
force of public sentiment.
Opportunity to Pledge.
The law gives each candidate for a
legislative nomination opportunity to
pledge himself, by subscribing to state
ment 3so. 1, to vote In the Legislature for
the people's choice, "without rcjrard to
my Individual preference." Or he may
subscribe to statement No. 2 promising
to consider the vote of the people "noth
ing more than a recommendation, which
I shall be at . liberty wholly to disregard,
if the reason for doing so seems to- me
to be sufficient." If he shall decline 'to
subscribe to -either, he can run for nom
ination and election without taking any
pledge, -and If elected may vote for any
man for Senator, as the Constitution of
the United States gives him the right to
do. Thus far no legislative candidate
has taken statement No. 2.
Revolt Against Pledge.
A revolt against pledge 1 has been start
ed by persons who aver that Republicans
in the Legislature should not be bound to
vote for a- Democrat for Senator in case
a man of that political faith John M.
Gcarln should defeat, in the June elec
tion, the Republican primary nominee for
the people's choice. Those in this revolt
are represented by five Republican candi
dates for the Legislature, named in the
foregoing, who promise to support the
"Republican voters" choice." meaning
thereby that they will not support John
M. Gearin, Democrat, if he should be the
people's choice. On the other hand, eight
Republican candidates, by taking pledge
No. 1, have agreed to do that very thing.
Action of the Fire.
The action of the five has an Important
bearing on the success of the primary
law In changing the method of electing
United States Senators. The five evident
ly are acting in concert, fer in the case of
four Northup, Beutgen, Mackle and Lit
tlepage the wording of their notice to the
County Clerk Is similar, and in the case
of Northup, Beutgen and Littlepage, the
Vordlng is .alike.
Several Republicans have filed notice of
candidacy for County Commissioner, as
follows:

Yankee Doodle Girls Xcxt Week.
The Tankec Doodle Girls' Burlesque Com
pany, which opens at the Baker .Sunday af
ternoon for next week's attraction, offers
among other numerous features two clever
satirical burlesques, the first entitled "A Mis-
Stable Insurance Company." which gives some
pointed and laughable exaggerated, modern
day insurance Impossibilities. The closing
burlesque is called "A Trio to the Hippo
drome," and has proved one of the sensations
of the season. The scene shows an exact re
production of this famous New Tork amuse
ment enterprise. The comedy is written
around the troubles of a "rube," who is in
duced by a young and pretty actrsas to In
vest hla money In the hippodrome. Young and
pretty girls abound in both the opening and
closing parts.
Pollard's Repertoire Xcxt Week.
The Pollards' last week at the Empire will
open Sunday matlaee and the entire repertoire

Wednesday and Thursday nlghUi, "A Gaiety
Girl" will again be given, and the engagement
will close with "An American Millionaire."
which will be sung Friday night and for the
last time Saturday matinee, Kvery one of
these operas is a strong favorite with the
Portland public, and the recond and last
week of the Pollards will. If such were pos
sible, be even a greater sticceMt than the flrst.
AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
"Dlda" at the Grand.
From a standpoint of novelty, "Dida." the
feature at the Grand this week, is the xnoet
startling a vaudeville theater hai ever offered.
It is a. daring illusion in which a woman Is
created from nothing. Tho audience is com
pletely mystified at the astonishing change,
and "Dlda" never falls to arouee enthusiasm.
The Cor family, consisting of three young girls
and a little boy, is amonr'the best quartets
on the stage. The Jureillea are exceptionally
clever and bright. The Ward trio are acro
bats who nerform on a ladder and do .m.
Jiutcan bridge specialty. Lynn Welcher Is a
monologulst who has made himself popular
here becauee he haji new stories and. knows
how to tell them. Morgan and Chester have a
refined comedy sketch and Master . Harold Hoff
sings the latest illustrated song hit. "Star
light," The Graadlsccpe contains a new as
sortment of pictures.
Anderson Children at tnc Star.
Children are -always popular on the stage
when they are intelligent and well trained. The
Anderson children, who are at the Star this
week, have a large following of admirers in
Portland, because they hare played two en
gagements here before and made good. As
entertainers they are better than many grown
people. The NeHes Se-r the greatest Juggling
act in America. This act is well worth see
ing and alone will repay any one for a visit
to the Star this week. Al Shayne is a He
brew Impersonate? who in telling nsmetblng
new In the way of stories and is singing fresh
parodies. He is even compared with David
Warfleld. Vlolette and Old give experiments
in mental telepathy; Lawrence, the trumpeter.
extracts sweet strains from his brass instru
ment and the illustrated asng and moving
pictures arc also attractive.
Good Show at Pantages.
Right up to the mark is the programme at
Passage's Theater this week. There ars
several features entirely new to the Portland
vaudeville stage. The Four Cowles. featur
ing Baby Cewles, have an act that none
sfeeald miss. Although but 4 years eld,
Saby Cowles is an accomplished acrobat and
does feats that weuld win applause for one
many times the age when most infants are
barely out of long dresses. Francis and
Matthews have a rare shooting act. eae

Just now. I do net think, however, that
church rules should completely govern
the actions of a member la such a poel
JJon as Mr. Masters occuptes unless some
express rule is 'broken. His conscience
should guide him in his actions."
Dr. Wilson has not yet presented the
resolution to Councilman Masters, and

are of the opinion that he will not de so

We are more araly convinced than ever of
the truth asd the force of that vigorous
declaration of the Episcopal address of l&AS.
lt can never be legalised without sin."
Plan tin r ourselves upon the bedrock of that
solid proposition, we declare that no citizen
azd no Christian has a right by example, by
voice, by lasee&ce. or by his ballot to con-trlb-Jte-
to the establishment or to the main
tenance of the ungodly license policy as ap
plied to the liquor trafae.
We are unalterably opposed to the enact
ment of lieense law, because such laws are
rrong in principle and laeSectual as a
means or restraint, we will not ne content
with any system of levying tribute upon this
corrupt trafae We demand its entire de
struction, and to the accomplishment of
this result we pledge our best eadeavor.
PeHiieal Beetles.
Concedlnr that it ls not the province of
the church to rive affirmative direction to
or assume to control the franchise of the
citiaen. It by bo means follows that the
church must be silent concerning great
wrongs because they have entrenched them
selves in law er have 'become potent In in
fluencing and controlling political actions.
One of the greatest dangers of our coun
try's welfare Is the tremendous power which
the organised liquor trafnc wlelas in politi
cal affairs, a power so great and so prompt
ly applied that, with rare exceptions, can
didates for public office dare not speak their
honest sentiment , concerning that trafnc
while office-holders ambitious to secure a
re-election, realise that the faithful per
formance of their duty in the enforcement of
law against the saloon will be ratal to their
hopes for promotion. ...
Quoting and reaffirming the action or the
general conference of 1S2, we "record our
deliberate Judgment that no political party
has a rlrht to expect, nor ought It to re
ceive, the support of Christian men so long
as it stands committed to the license policy
or relates to nut Itself on record In an atti
tude of open hostility to the saloon. But
tho foregoing must not be constaerea as in
the Interest of any political party."
noundlmaa Masters stated Yesterday
that the Grace Church resolution has not
been ttreaented to him In fact, that he
has not heard anything about It- Wheth
er the pastor of the Taylor-Street Church
has spoken to him on the subject is not
known, as neither Dr. Short nor Mr. Mas

Just as enthusiastic on the other side or

Opposed by F. S. Akin.
F. S. Akin was not present at the meet
ing, but says he would not have support
ed the resolution. - He considers the ac
tions of the board In question unofficial.
saying it has no real;powcr to act in such
a matter. "I do net consider that the
rules of the church' should necessarily
govern a member's actions in the Council,
It must be remembered that he has been
elected by the people, who expect him to
observe their wishes as well as those of
the church- Every man occupying a pub
lic position should be stalwart and moral,
and. while I am strictly against saloons.
I am not narrow. I consider Mr. Johnson
a narrow man, however."
Dr. Osmond Royal voted lor the resolu
tion and Is in sympathy with such
movement In the Interests of Methodism
at large. He states that Mr. Johnson's
attitude on the liquor question is correct.
I don't sec how any church member could
possibly vote to llceaie.the .sale of liquor."
he said, "for the attitude of the church
is well understood on that subject, Mr.
Masters was elected by the better cle
ment, and they expect him to vote right
on such matters that Is, oppose licenses
flatly." Dr. Royal was emphatic In his
statement that the action was taken In
the interest of the Methodist church at
large, and that there ls no desire to make
It a matter of conflict between the Grace
and the Taylor-street organizations.
Each of the trustees interviewed stated
that the Methodist church does not stand
for prohibition as a party issue, but advo
cates strict temperance.
3Ir. Masters Unconcerned.
Mr. Masters himself did not seem con
cerned about the resolution which is cre
ating such a commotion in church circles.
"Really," he said, with a sigh, "I hardly
consider it worth notice. No, I havo not
been visited by Dr. Wilson -yet, but I
have been Interviewed so many times
durinjr the past week that I am awfully
tired." He further stated that the action
of the Grace Church board would have no
effect upon him as a member of the Taylor-Street
Church.
CoHntics Mast Have Health Boards.
Attorney-General A. M. Crawford hav
ing decided that the law requiring each
county to establish a County Board of
Health and to appoint a physician as sec
retary of the board is mandatory. Judge
Webster says the statute will be complied
with la Multnomah County. This county
already has a well-organized Board of
Health, with County Physician Dr. E. P.
Geary at Its head. To comply with the
law in all respects, Dr, Geary will be ap
pointed secretary of the board. The fees
he would earn under the law-are esti
mated as about 1700 a year, but as he re
ceives a monthly salary as County Physi
cian, the fees may be reduced somewhat
The duty ef the secretary is to obtain and
compile certaia, health statistics.

ECLIPSE OF MOON
Cloudless Sky Makes It a
Beautiful Sight.
PORTLAND IS FORTUNATE
In Washington Snow and Rain Pre
vent Observations at Xational
Obijervatory, for Which
They Had Prepared.
So "far as the" fesfdents of Portland
:;hd the- surrounding- country are con
cerned. Madame Iiuna could not have
chosen a mere auspicious time than
last night to shroud her face in the
shadows of the earth. A cloudless sky
gave to all an opportunity to watch
the total eclipse throughout In all Its
splendor. Its unsurpassed beauty was
sufficient to rivet to the sky the at
tention of each person and It made not
the slightest difference whether he pos
sessed the slightest knowledge of the
fundamentals of astronomy.
Even before the first uncertain
shadow suffused the lower portion of
the moon's disc the street and yards
of the city were full of people gazing
skywards. Although an eclipse of the
moon has never been regarded as of so
great importance as an eclipse of the
sun, no one who witnessed the phe
nomenon felt disappointed. Groups of
people stood on the street corners In
tently watching as the bright orb was
slowly veiled In the dusky shadow until
nothing but a dull red ball remained.
The moon flrst entered the shadow at
9M7 o'clock and lit 10:1S o'clock was
completely darkened. It was one hour
and -IS minutes- before It .began to
emerge from the shadow and not until
1:27 o'clock was the eclipse at an end.
A lunar eclipse Is caused by the In
terposition of the earth between the
sun and moon and the Immersion of
the moon In the resultant shadow. The
conical shadow by which the moon ls
darkened extends on the average about
157,000 miles from the earth. The moon
usually Intercepts Jt at a point where
the diameter of the shadow Is about
two and two-thirds that of the moon.
The dull copper color of the moon
while in total eclipse is due to the
sun 'shining through the earth's at
mosphere which absorbs the higher
tints and deflects the darker into the
shadow cone through refraction. For
this reason usually, aa in the eclipse
last night, the moon Is plainly vlsiblo
at all times, but total eclipses have oc
curred In which the orb Is almost com-

Eclipse Xot Seen at Observatory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Because of a
heavy snowstorm the officials at the
naval observatory early tonight gave up
any hope of taking observations of the
eclipse of the moon, which began after
midnight and continued for several hours.
It was raining hard at midnight, with no
prospects of clearing before, morning.
Councll Recommends One Franchise.
After a long argument, the City Council,
at Its meeting Wednesday night, adopted
the report of the committees recommend
ing an ordinance granting a franchise to
the Banfield-Veysey Fuel Company, but
decided to refer the applications of the
Cascade Power Company and Mount Hood
Electric Company back to the streets and
Judiciary and elections committees.
Under the charter, the ordinance grant
ing the Banflcld-Vcysey Fuel Company
the privilege of supplying certain districts
of the city with heat and power will first
have to be published at least 20 days, and
cannot be considered again by the Council
until the expiration of 60 days from the
date of its Introduction.
.The debate on the Cascade Power Com-'
pany and Mount Hood Electric Company
franchises developed a strong feeling In
favor of compelling the corporations not
only to place their transmission wires un
derground, but also to file good-faith
bonds In the sum of 350.000.

Fantan Gamblers. Escape.
Although 51600 was In sight on the gam
bling table, and Chinese were surrounding
a fantan lay-out In a Chinese Joint on
Second street, last night, three detectives
who raided the place failed to make a
capture or land the money. The Chinese
were seen through a transom window by
Policeman Price and Detectives Welch
and Jones, playing fantan. As the offi
cers attempted to break down the doors
an alarm was sounded, and the gamblers
escaped through numerous alleys and hall
ways. Finland Defeats United States.
The fifth night of the International tug
of war tourney at the Armory was at
tended by the usual large crowd of In
terested spectators, who witnessed the

honors by defeating the United States
team after a hard pull of 14 minutes' dur
ation. The results of the other contests
follow: Italy defeated Denmark, Sweden
defeated Germany and Norway scored
over the Canadian team.
