BONDS FOR ITS
BUILDING FUND
-Subscriptions to Be Received
by Portland Commer
cial Club.
SMALL SUMS PREFERRED
Jt Is Proposed to Distribute the In'
vestments as Far as Possible
Among? Members of the
Organization.
Beginning today, the Portland Commer
cial Club will bend all lts energies to
aeouring subscriptions for the unsub
scribed balance of the fc!."0.000 gold bonds
which It is proposed to issue for the pur-
jiose of securing funds to build the club's
palatial new home at Fifth and Oak
streets, the site for which recently was
secured "by option.
At a luncheon given In the clubrooms
yesterday at noon by President F. W.
JyCadbetter to the board of governors and
h dozen or more of the leading members
of the organization, including some of the
most wealthy and influential business
mm of the city, this action was resolved
upon and a plan of campaign mapped out
which it Is believed will result in the sub
scription of the entire bond issue before
the end of the week. .
Many Bonds Subscribed.
Inasmuch as $190,000 of the bonds have
Already been subscribed by the leading
business men of the city, within and with
out tile membership of the club, the task
before the committee is by no means a
large one. Indeed, in view of the fact
that the bonds run 25 years, unless sooner
redeemed, and will be secured by a first
mortgage on one of the best pieces of bus
ines property In the city, the issue would
no doubt be oversubscribed if the books
were thrown open to Investors generally.
This Is something, however, that the
club wishes to avoid, and at yesterday's
meeting It was constantly reiterated that
It is desired to sell the remainder of the
bonds In small amounts to as many of the
Stio Individual members of the club as
possible, the object being to give every
man in the club who can afford to do so
an opportunity to become interested finan
cially in the new building.
Denomination of Bonds.
The bonds will be issued in denomina
tions of 1-5 and multiples- thereof, and
special attention will be paid to securing
purchasers for one or two of the smallest
bonds. As far as possible the purchase
of the securities by speculators will be
prevented, and although persons not
members of the club, both residents and
nonresidents of Portland, will be allowed
to Invest, It Is thought that a large part
of the money can be secured at home and
within the club Itself.
To a limited extent, as Indicated by
President . Leadbetter. citizens of the
smaller cities and towns of Oregon will
be welcomed as purchasers. Inasmuch as
It will give them a personal Interest In
the club, which alms to become the lead
ing commercial organization of the state,
and to aid and assist in the development
of the entire state by fostering and en
couraging the growth of Its commercial
bodies.
Interest Begins at Once.
Besides Mr. Leadbetter. many of his
jruests spoke along this line, notably T.
B. AVilcox, president chairman of the
building committee, who made a strong
argument In favor of the sale of the
bonds in small amounts.
Interest will begin to run on the bonds
as soon as the money Is paid in, it being
the Intention of the Portland Commercial
Club Building Association, the corpora
tion formed to secure funds and erect
the building, to make the tirst levy upon
the subscribers as soon as possible to ob
tain money for the purchase of the site.
This levy will probably be not more
than 40 per cent. For the encouragement
of small investors It has been arranged
that purchasers of not more than two
of the JJ5 bonds may pay In the entire
amount at the time of subscribing and
begin to draw Interest from the start. lu
terest on larger amounts will run from
the time the money is paid Into the
building association's treasury, tinder
levy by the management.
Committees Are ApHlnted.
For the purpose of expediting the work
of securing subscriptions the following
committees were appointed to canvass
the city among the different business and
professional men, as Indicated:

WHAT IS A REPUBLICAN?
This Correspondent Asks, and the
Oregonian Answers Klsewhere.
FOREST GROVE. Or.. May 12. (To the
TMlttor. For th past J5 yearn we hvf
bMT Tat1y brnffltcd and instructed by
t vittoriali in The Orejrontan. But e
row feci constrained to offer a protest to
your leadln editorial of May 7 and atso
on, of a few days previous announcing the
iame reason for opposing the election of
Oovernor Geore K. Chamberlain that jau
Yiow rive for non-support of Gearln. to-wit:
lie is not a Republican." Will you p!eae
tell us what constitutes a Republican? Does
a mnn's announcement that he Is & Repub
lican make him such? If a man votes the.
Republican . ticket for mercenary purposes
alone, "would, he then he a Republican? We
answer, no. A Republican Is a man who at
heart sincerely believes that the principles
enunciated in the platform are to the best
Interests of the people to be governed: if he
ip a true American he will cast his vote for
inen he has cause to believe m ill carry those
principles into effect.
W hen' the political parties formulated a
platform and the candidate Informed his
constituents that he Indorsed the different
planks therein .and would use his Influence
to carry them into effect, then you could
designate between Republicans and Demo
crats. Neither of the parties now before the
public ha a. platform, as under our primary
law each -candidate Is presumed' to make his
own declaration of principles. If these prin
ciples are for the best Interests of the vot
ing; public the candidate should be sup
ported. Independent of his former political
affiliation. We cannot refer back to the
National platforms of three years ago to see
what Is Republican or Democrat doctrine or
how a candidate Is liable to vote on certain
Issues now before Congress, some being new
Issues upon which no party declarations have
been made and upon others the platform is
very indefinite and uncertain. We see that
the members of high standing. In fact the
leaders of the Republican party in the United
States Congress are almost evenly divided
upon some of the most vital Issues. It be
comes absolutely necessary that a Repub
lican President use his powerful influence to
force the passage of a bill, the most Impor
tant to the common people- of the United
States that has passed that body In a
decade. In opposition to his wishes the
members of his own party did their best to
render the bill nugatory by amendments.
Which are the true Republicans those that
assisted in the passage of the Interstate
Commerce Commission bill or those who
opposed it? The same question could be
consistently asked, on a great many other
lRsuev. almost as Important. Our honored
President advocates the ship subsidy bill and
is strongly supported by the leading Re
publicans of the Senate and House. The
Oregonlan, the political mouthpiece of the
Northwest, with a very strong following in
both houses, strongly opposes the same.
Which Is Republican doctrine ? Consider
ing these facts Is It not the imperative duty
of the voter to ascertain the personal opin
ion of the candidates for Congressional hon
ors upon these and other questions now be
fore the public and those liable to arise dur
ing their term of' office, as past, or present
party affiliations cannot indicate any one's
status upon these issues? With these facts
in mind, is it good advice to say that we
are In duty bound to support the candidate
who receives the nomination of the political
party of which w-e are members when said
nominee has studiously avoided expressing
himself upon any of these issues? Four
years ago George E- Chamberlain was nom
inated for Governor of the State of Oregon
by the Democratic party and was elected by
the Republican voters of said state.
After the' above statement of the case.
The Oregonian finds the following facts:
First, that the said George E. Chamberlain
has been one of Oregon's best Governors ;
second, that his official administration has
been saving and economical, without fear or
favor; third, that he is still a Democrat and
again nominated for the same position by
the Democratic party. Applying the law
to the facts as heretofore found, we are of
the opinion that George E. Chamberlain
must be turned down, as be Is not nom
inated by the right political party.
If your findings of fact justify your con
clusions of law your judgment will be sus
tained by the voters; if not it will be other
wise. W. M. LANGLEY.
The OreKonlan has not made the find
ings or the conclusions as to Governor
Chamberlain imputed to it by this- cor
respondent. It considers that the reasons
many times advanced for the defeat of a
!Democrat for Governor and the election
of a Republican are sound, and it will
urge these, and others, until the election,
June 4.
ON PUBLIC UTILITY TRIP
ASTORIA OFFICIALS VISIT PORT
LAND TO INVESTIGATE.
Inspect Fire Apparatus, raving
Methods and Home Telephone
Company in This City.
Mayor Herman "Wise, City Engineer A.
S. Tee, and Councilmen J. H. Hansen,
Dr. W. C. Logan. P. L. Stangland, G.
W. Morton and C. A. Leinenweber, of
Astoria, were in Portland yesterday for
the purpose of investigating different
public utilities in use in Portland with
a vley of establishing some needed im
provements at home.
During the course of their stay in the
city. Mayor Wise and party looked over
the latest apparatus installed in the Port
land Fire Department; Chief Campbell
explaining the method of operating each
up-to-date fire appliance, and it is likely
that Astoria will aoopt several of the
appliances shown the delegation yester
day.
Another object of the visit was to hold
a conference with the Home Telephone
Company, which corporation has applied
for a franchise at Astoria, and piloted
by Manager F. H. Stow, local representa
tive of the new company, the party vis
ited the plant now in the course of con
struction, and also had the automatic
system thoroughly explained to them.
Mayor Wise also referred to the pro
posed intention of Astoria to improve
several of the main thoroughfares, which
are elevated roadways at present, and
it Is the desire of the Astoria officials
to put in aa substantial a quality of pav
ing material as can be secured.
Before leaving for home last evening
one of the party related a practical joke
which at the time caused Councilman Q.
W. Morton, who is a candidate for the
Legislature from Clatsop County, con
siderable annoyance, and which furnished
much amusement for the rest of . the
party.
"It happened this way.'' said Mavor
Wise. "We were at dinner at the Ore
gon Sunday evening, when the thought
struck Dr. Logan, who is of German
descent and therefore fond of limburger
cheese, to offer some of this delectable
essential to a Fatherland luncheon, to
Councilman Morton, who by the way is
of Irish extraction. Morton indignatly
refused the delicious morsel, and in or
der to play even for the affront offered
Germany, Dr. Logan, quite unnoticed by
all save Councilman Leinenweber, cau
tiously slipped the cheese into the side
pocket of Morton's coat. We left the
grill room without it being discovered,
and soon adjourned to a theater, where
everything passed quietly for a few min
utes, or until the hidden morsel com
menced to get in its work. The sniffing
of persons occupying seats in our vicin
ity gave notice of something unsavory
n the immediate neighborhood of where
we sat. Several persons, among whom
were some of Portland's beautiful young
ladiqs, arose from their seats and cast
ing reproachful glances at Morton, left
the theater. All this was greatly em
barrassing to t!o unlucky candidate for
the Legislature, and when he discovered
the cause of the looks cast his way, he
threatened dire vengeance on the per
petrator, but soon realized the humorous
side of the Joke, and treated the crowd."
Morton says he will get even with Dr.
Logan, and the other members of the
party are. anxious to be on hand when
he does.
Will Inspect Ilwaco Line.
General Manager J. P. O'Brien of the
Harriman lines In the Northwest went
to Astoria yesterday in his private car
"Oregon, ' and took the steamer for
Ilwaco, where he will inspect the Ilwaco
Railway & Navigation Company, a Har
riman property. As the beach travel is
just beginning, steps are being taken to
put the equtpment of the I. R. & N. in
condition for the heavy Summer travel.

TELLS OF THE PLOT
"Cockney Kid'' Makes Com
plete Confession.
ACCUSES SALOONKEEPERS
Admits to Detective Hartman That
He Was Hired to Assault Fischer.
Was Also to Have Attacked
Rev. Mr. Kemp..
A confession implicating every saloon
proprietor excent one in Rainier, one sa
loon man in Portland and Marshal Zwem
mer, of Rainier, and which is partially
responsible for the closing of all saloons
in Columbia County last Sunday, has been
made by James Remington, known as the
"Cockney Kid," who assaulted W. C.
Fischer in Rainier about two weeks -ago.
To Detective Hartman, of Portland: Dep
uty District Attorney Powell, of Colum
bia County, and a stenographer. Reming
ton, as the result of a letter published
in The Oregonian from a saloonkeeper at
Rainier, has made a clean breast of the
whole conspiracy, which may be far
reaching in its results and may land more
than one man behind the bars.
Angered at the alleged Innocence of the
saloon men of Rainier as published in the
letter to The Oregonian. Remington con
sented to tell what he knew of the real
proceedings. As a result of his confession
warrants were sworn out yesterday for A.
The "Cockney Kid," Charged With
Assault at Rainier.
D. Pierce, proprietor of the Pierce Cafe,
at Rainier; Bartender Wilson, employed
by Leon Capelle, a Rainier saloonkeeper,
and Melvln Miles, a boatman who abetted
in the escape of Remington from pursuing
officers. Warrants will probably be issued
today-for the arrest of Marshal Zwemmer
and others who are said to have been im
plicated in trying to down the anti-saloon
element.
Remington Makes Confession.
When shown the letter written to The
Oregonian, Remington said that if Detect
ive Hartman would be sent to 9t. Helens,
where he is now in jail, he would divulge
everything he knew. The confession cov
ers several typewritten pages, and will
be used against those implicated at the
trial.
Remington declares that every saloon
man in Rainier, with the exception of the
proprietors of the Gem saloon. Is impli
cated in the .assault on Fischer. He
claims that he was to have assaulted Rev.
H. G. Kemp, as well as Fischer, but that
he failed in the last case because of the
stir the first assault caused, and by the
necessity for flight. He was to have met
Pierce in Portland the day following the
assault to receive $200 from "Mysterious"
Billy Smith. Remington, after making
this assertion, seemed to regret his state
ment about Smith, and tried to smooth it
over.
Says Marshal Aided Him.
During his attempt to escape arrest it is
alleged that Pierce and Zwemmer, instead
of trying to capture the fleeing man. con
cealed him behind the doors in the Log
Cabin saloon, and that when the opportu
nity presented itself they aided him in
reaching a launch which Wilson had in
waiting to take him across the Columbia
to Kelso, Wash. The Marshal stood in
the doorway, it is said, while Remington
was concealed behind it.
The purse of $200 which was to have
been given Remington was made up in
Rainier, and was to have been brought
to Portland by Pierce. Fischer and Rev.
Mr. Kemp will arrive at 9t. Helens today
to confer with District Attorney Harrison
Allen in regard to the case. Rev. Mr.
Kemp will be the complaining witness.
All the saloons in Columbia County were
closed Sunday. It is said that this action
was taken because of the feeling that had
been aroused on account of the assault,
and that a grand jury has been summoned
to meet within a few days.
NOT ENEMIES OF FISCHER
Prominent Business Men of Rainier
Repudiate McLaren's Statement.
RAINIER, Or.. May 14. (To the Editor.)
In today's Oregonian you give space to
an Interview with Dr. C. P. McLaren
relative to the arrest. Saturday night, of
Rev. H. G. Kemp, for carrying a revolver,
and purporting to convey the sense of the
business men here as to the character of
W. C. Fischer, who was ' recently as
saulted by a hired thug.
Dr. McLaren asserts that practically
every business man in town is an enemy
of Fischer. Such a statement at this time
clearly reflects upon the business men of
Rainier as culpable in the assault upon Mr.
Fischer's life.
We. the undersigned, wish to assert that
we do not belong to the class of "business
men" who are at enmity with Mr. Fisch
er, and are not in sympathy with such
methods as his enemies employed against
him.

Power. Companies Accede to
Mayor's Demands.
FRANCHISES BECOME LAWS
Cascade Power Company and Mount
Hood Electric Company, Fearing
Lane's Veto, Come to the
Terms He Required.
Certain concessions having been made
by both the Cascade Power Company and
the Mount Hood Electric Company, Mayor
Lane yesterday permitted the ordinances
granting franchises to the two corpora
tions to become operative without his sig
nature. It was a. narrow escape for both
measures, however, aa the Mayor had the
veto message written out in the case of
the Mount Hood Company, that having
been the more recalcitrant in yielding to
his conditions.
It was the last day under the charter in
which he could take action, as the ordi
nances were passed by the Council at its
meeting May 2 and officially presented for
executive consideration two days later. It
was well understood that in case the
measures were vetoed by the Mayor they
could nover be passed over his head, as
the opposition to them in the Council was
too strong. The Cascade Power Company
saw the futility of holding out against the
Mayor's wishes, arid Beveral days ago
El R. Richardson, its president, signed a
written agreement consenting to the con
cessions demanded, which is to be incorpo
rated in the company's acceptance of the
franchise.
Held Out to Ijtst 'Moment.
The Mount Hood Electric Company
held ' out to the last, however, and it
was only when the Mayor's veto was
ready to send to the Council that the
directors finally yielded and President S.
B. Cobb attached his signature to the
same form of stipslation as that agreed
to by the Cascade" people.
In giving his reasons for imposing the
conditions upon the two corporations
Mayor Lane last night said: "These
franchises grant the companies for a pe
riod of 25 years the right to charge a
maximum rate ranging from 6' cents
per kilowatt hour for 100 to 600 or less
down to 1 cent per kilowatt hour, for
8000 to 10,000.
"For lighting and heating ipurposes
they are allowed to charge a. maximum
rate of 12 cents per kilowatt hour. The
rates to the city itself as a corporation
for lighting purposes is fixed at a maxi
mum of 2 cents per kilowatt hour, but the
city, if it desires to use this power, must
take it from the companies at their sub
stations, and must be at the expense of
erecting its own poles, conduits, wires,
lamps, and pay all expense of maintain
ing the same thereafter, which will add
about 1 cent more to the cost thereof.
"While these charges may not be too
high at this time, they are in excess of
the prices now charged in some other
cities, and in 25 . years from nqw will at
the present rate of advanceirrent being
made in all matters pertaining to elec
tricity and its use as a motive force. Re
entirely too great to be borne by the
people of this city, and I do not think
it wise for the city to enter into any such
one-sided contract.
Rate Charged In Tacoma.
"I am informed that in the neighbor
ing city of Tacoma such power is sold
for .84 of a cent per kilowatt hour, in
this, the present year of 1906. In some
Eastern cities it is sold for of a cent
per kilowatt hour. If such la the truth,
I do not think it fair to handicap our
own city, which must compete in many
ways with neighboring cities, by bind
ing it for a period of 26 years to a price
for power greatly in excess of that which
is now paid by its competitors. We can
not hope to be successful in our race as
a city if we enter it with a clog on our
feet such as this would seemingly be.
"I have taken this phase of the matter
up with the persons who are seeking
these franchises from the city, and called
their attention to the rates paid In other
cities, and asked them to incorporate
into their acceptance a clause allowing
their rates in the future to be governed
by a price not higher than the average
price which may be charged for such
current in other cities in the TTnlted
States under similar conditions, such as
source of supply and distance of trans
mission, the same to be determined by
a board of -arbitration or a court of law.
Both companies having finally agreed to
these terms, the ordinances granting the
franchises were permitted to become ef
fective without my approval under the
10-day limit."
SOCIETY HEALTH BOARDS
It Is Proposed to Form a State
Organization.
There was a meeting of the State Board
of Health in the new Knights Of Pythias
Hall yesterday morning, called by Secre
tary Robert Tenney. the gathering of phy
sicians from all parts of the state to at
tend the annual session of the State Med
ical Society making the occasion an ad
vantageous one for a well-attended meet
ing. Matters of general interest pertain
ing to the health and sanitation of Ore
gon were discussed and the suggestion of
organizing a. society composed of all
county and city health boards throughout
the state resulted in a ca.Il for a second
meeting, which was held in Dr. Tenney's
office last night.
Dr. E. P. Geary was appointed tempo
rary chairman of the new society and
WSH
Dr. Yenney temporary secretary. The Idea
of such an organisation at once became
popular for it is the opinion of all that it
will promote the general welfare of the
state from the standpoint of its public
health by causing all board members to
work in unison and absorb new ideas from
coming in contact with other workers in
the same lines. When the house of dele
gates, the business branch of the Stats
Medical Association, meets Wednesday
morning the organization of the new
health society will be perfected! a consti
tution adopted and officers duly elected.
This organization is not being formed,
for the purpose of presenting measures
to the Legislature, as has been stated,-for
the promotion of ideas arid methods con
cerning public health matters. Many
phases of contagious diseases were dis-cu-ssed
at the two meetings mentioned,
but no official action taken. The discus
sion of the treatment of tuberculosis at
this morning's session of the State Med
ical Association is looked forward to with
deep interest by all health officers.
AT THE THEATERS
What thm Press AenU Say.
SOUVENIR NIGHT AT THE BAKER
Friday Night All Receive Baume's
Picture.
A very welcome custom is established at
the Baker Theater in the giving away of
pictures of the players. Friday night will
be the first souvenir night of the present
stock season, and a picture of Edgar Baume
will be presented to each member of the
audience. After this week souvenir night
will be Monday evening. So next Monday
night a picture of the leading woman. Miss
Lawrence, will be given to everyone in the
house. . Similar pictures 'of all the company
will be given away. This rule will be kept
up each week, and if the people save the
pictures they will soon have & complete col
lection of the whole company.
The laughable and attractive comedy,
"Prince Karl," the bill this week, is show
ing the public what a splendid company has
been gathered together by Mr. Baker, and
the hit made b7 the players in this diverting
play has been instantaneous. The people
like witticism and they like to laugh heart
ily, and they like to go and see their most
popular actors and actresses. They get
just what they want at the Baker. Next
week "The Little Minister."
"The World" at the Empire.
"The World"" at the Empire this week
takes one back to the good old days when
the big sensational melodrama ruled the
stage. There is the scene on board ship, the
fire at sea, the great explosion, and finally
the hero and survivors Mlnging to a Ufa
raft, all to be rescued at the last moment by
a passing ship. Just as death seemed In
evitable. ' It Is all so realistic, so full of
energy and action, that people are absolutely
happy watching it, knowing full well that It
Is all going to come out all right In the end,
no matter how harrowing the many inci
dents. "The World" will be at the Empire
all this week, and If curiosity, real interest
or love of the production of good old times
with modern stage effects impels you, don't
miss It. It Is well worth seeing for many
reasons. Matinee Saturday.
Concert by Graham Quartet.
This evening at the Unitarian Church will
be given the second concert of the Graham
String Quartet, William Wallace Graham,
Soloist. The patronesses of the concerts are
Mrs. Richard Koehler, Mrs. J. Wesley Ladd,
