10 THE MOBSLVG OKKGOSIAX, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1906. CHAMBERLAIN FOR THE PRESIDENCY Democrats of the Coast Are Now Boosting Governor, for Nomination. WHAT ALEX SWEEK SAYS Thinks It Would Be a Great Thing for an Oregon Man to Enter the Race for the Nomination. Democrats of the Pacific Coast regard Governor George E. Chamberlain as a possible Presidential candidate, and It Is declared by some that at the next con vention of the Democratic party, which will be held two years hence, a right will foe made to secure his nomlnatloxi. Alex Sweek, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, stated yesterday that he believed that Governor Chamberlain, If he bo desired, could secure the support of the Western and Southern delegations lor the Presidential nomination. There has been some little publicity given the likelihood of Governor Cham berlain being a candidate for the Vice Presidency, with Bryan as the nominee lor President. Mr. Sweek, however, is decidedly of the opinion that if the name of Governor Chamberlain is brought be fore the convention, that it will be for the Presidential nomination. Following the election of last Monday dozens of telegrams were received at the Demo- cratic headquarters congratulating the ' Oregon Democracy upon the victory they had achieved in the election of Governor Chamberlain, and suggesting that the "West unite upon him as their candidate for the Presidential nomination at the next National convention. Boosted by Coast Democrats. Mr. Sweek, when seen yesterday, said lie could not, for various reasons, divulge some of the telegrams that had been re ceived, but confirmed the report that some of them strongly mentioned the name of Governor Chamberlain for President. He eald that some of these messages were from among the most prominent Demo crats upon the Pacific Coast. For some time, leaders of the Demo cratic party In the East have taken marked interest In the election in Oregon, and It has been stated that they also have considered Governor Chamberlain a pos ible candidate for the nomination for President upon the Democratic ticket, provided he could be re-elected to the Gubernatorial chair in Oregon. Before the elections a great deal of correspond ence was carried on between the party leaders in Oregon and the prominent Democrats of the East. When questioned yesterday as to whether the name of Gov ernor Chamberlain had been mentioned in the light of a probable or possible candi date at the annual convention, Mr. Sweek declined to answer either in the affirma tive, or the negative. He stated that he was not In a position to make any state ment regarding the correspondence. Ills Friends Enthusiastic. Some of the friends of Governor Cham berlain are highly enthusiastic over the proposed concentration of the Western Democrats upon Governor Chamberlain as their Moses, and say they -will do as much as they can to give impetus to the movement. They are of the conviction that Governor Chamberlain could control the Western delegations and are satisfied he could receive the support of the dele gates from the South. They are not con fident that he could secure the nomina tion, but think that he could make a creditable showing, which woulud retlect much credit upon him and bring Oregon prominently to the front. It was learned from an authoritative source yesterday that two years ago at the National convention, held at St. Louis, when Judge Parker was nominated, that the Southern delegation offered to sup port Governor Chamberlain for the Vice Presidency, but that he refused to be a candidate. He is originally ffom the South, where he has many very influential relatives and friends. Alex Sweck's Statement. "There is a very strong sentiment among the Democrats of the West in fa vor of making an attempt to secure the Presidential nomination for Governor Chamberlain, and it may crystallize into something definite," said Mr. Sweek yes terday afternoon. "I believe, as do others, that he could swing the support of the delegations from the Western and South ern Suites. The many telegrams received from the prominent Democrats from all along the Pacific Coast which mentioned his name in that respect, and other cir cumstances, give us some grounds for that belief. "From my way of looking, I hardly think that It is probable that Governor Chamberlain could secure the nomination. If Oregon were situated in the Middle West, or in the East, his wonderful per sonality, splendm record in office and the great victory he has won, would, in my estimation, make him one of the strong est men the Democrats could put up for President. Not for Vice-President. "But I doubt If the big Eastern leaders would support any man from the Far "West. Governor Chamberlain could prob ably be nominated for Vice-President, but 1 do not think that his admirers and fthose who are ready and willing to sup port him want this. It would be a splen did thing for Oregon if he could make a good race, whether or not he was suc cessful. "Because of the recent election in Ore son, Governor Chamberlain has attracted much favorable attention in the East. The two remarkable campaigns for Governor he has conducted in this state are almost wflhout precedent, as he won both times In the face of an overwhelming Republi can majority. This has aroused consid erable enthusiasm among the Democrats of the Pacific Coast, and has set the lead ers in the East to talking." AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. TWO CONCERTS TODAY. Famous Hawaiian Band of Hono lulu at the Heilig Theater. The last two concerts of the Royal Ha waiian Band of Honolulu will be given at The Helllic Theater this afternoon at 2:15 and tonight at 8:13.

RECOUNT MAT BE DELAYED COURT IS CROWDED WITH ACTION'S AT LAW. Suggestion Is Made That Judge Prom Another District May Be Called to Preside. Indications are that there may be some delay in recounting the votes in the con test between Sheriff Word and Robert L. Stevens, for the office of Sheriff. Henry 13. McGinn, attorney for Sheriff Word, in the contest notice, asks that the recount begin June 18. Judge Sears has discov ered that the court will be very busy at that time, and also that Mr. McGinn is one of the attorneys In the Jew Nun mur der case, the trial of which begins June 18. Mr. McGinn has stated that the con test can proceed without his presence, and that W. T. Vaughn will represent Sheriff Word's interests as counsel. Judge Sears has been considering the advisability of calling in one of the outside Judges, and the name of Judge Eakin has been sug gested as a desirable jurist to preside over the recount. It will be necessary to pay the expenses of a Judge from another district, which Judge Sears does not care to do out of his own pocket. The attor ney representing Mr. Stevens has not yet appeared in court, and no official action has been taken at all by Judge Sears, who has merely informally discussed the matter. Just what will be done remains to be seen. INDIAN BOY MISSING. t May Have Fallen Overboard Prom Steamer Roanoke. George Wildman, an Indian boy 11. years old, has disappeared in a mysterious man ner. A week ago the boy was put aboard the Roanoke, at Eureka, Cal.. with pas sage paid to Portland, whence he was to go to the Indian school at Chemawa. Pro fessor Campbell was on hand to meet the boy, but he failed to appear. The steam ship attaches did not recall having seen we bov during the voyage from Eureka and yet his name appears on the pas senger list. The police were notified yesterday and are investigating. It is thought possible tha.t the boy fell overboard while at. sea and was not observed by passengers or crew. GRAT HAIR QUICRXT RESTORED To its natural color by using Alfredum'a Egyptian Henna.

'if - - p,"rfr As l k" : eAse Lifje ivm v r , . f i A i ' ' -0- --I'' J' Annexation of territory embraced in the Montavllla school district and the northern portion of Mount Tabor, district No. 5, brings into the city an esti mated population of 4000. with the problems of supplying the new residents with water and schoola. The agitation for the annexation of this district had been in progress for the past 15 years. The main argument used was al ways Inadequate water supply, which was given renewed force in recent years by the great shortage of water, causing positive suffering until the City of Portland came to the relief of the two districts a year ago by selling the Mount Ta bor Water Company 50,000 gallons of water a day. Part of the Mount Tabor district had already been annexed under the In itiative and referendum and legislative enactment, with a provision that It should not affect the school government of district No. 5. Therefore, what ever may be the status of the portion annexed Monday, that portion of No. 6 south of the Base Line road is not now a part of the Portland district People In the annexed territory want Bull Run water. They are supplied by the Mount Tabor Water Company, which has but a limited supply and small mains. They are to be supplied from the 24-inch main now being laid from the high-service reservoir, which will supply 35.000 people. Just what course will be taken to supply the people with Bull Run water remains to be seen. It is announced that the local water company will soon Issue a statement to the consumers announcing what action the company will take un der the changed conditions. Along with schools and water will come street Improvements, fire protec tion, electric lights, police, sewers and other things. The people will realize what the responsibilities of being part of the city really means, and they will also find that all these advantages will have to be paid for by them, but that on the whole they will be largely the gainers by annexation.

Local commercial and civic organiza tions are to meet , this afternoon for the purpose of determining whether Portland shall have a celebration on July 4 this year. Mayor Lane yesterday issued a call for such a meeting, to which he invited delegations from the Commercial Club, Chamber of Commerce, Ad Men's League, Bast Side Improvement Associa tion, Portland Rowing Club, Initiative One Hundred and the Board of Trade. The meeting will be held in the City Council chamber at 3 o'clock. The call for the meeting is due largely to the efforts of Dan McAllen, who ad dressed a letter to the Mayor a few MAP OF TERRITORY ANNEXED AS THE RESULT OF days ago, urging that immediate steps be taken to arrange an elaborate celebration. Mr. McAllen will be present at the meet ing and will take the lead in asking that plans for a celebration be laid. Although the citizens of Portland have been put to unusual expense this year by their large contributions to the San Fran cisco relief fund and other public sub scriptions, many of the business men are ready to contribute liberally to a fund for a celebration of the Fourth. It is probable that committees will be chosen to take charge of the matter. APPRECIATES HIS WORK Withycombe Thanks Westgate for His Work.

Ethel Marie McPherson was divorced from Joseph McPherson, formerly a bar- TO THE CITY OF PORTLAND THE ELECTION SreriOfS "i we too a o tender in the Elk saloon, by Judge Sears yesterday. The couple were married in British Columbia in 1897, and have two children a boy 8 years old, and a girl, aged 5 years. Mrs, McPherson testified that her husband abandoned her in No vember, 1902, and that in September, 1904. she sought and met him in Portland and requested him to resume marital relations with her, which he refused to do. Mrs. McPherson further stated that McPherson J had not provided anything for the sup port of the children for the past four years. In November, 1906, McPherson was tried and convicted in Judge Cleiand's court, on a charge of selling liquor to Josephine Bates and Estelle Veal, minors. He was fined $360, and in default of payment, served a sentence on the rockpile. Katie FJ. McClear was granted a divorce from E. F. McClear by Judge Sears, be cause of cruel treatment. McClear, ac cording to evidence given by his wife, drank to excess, and choked and beat her. She said that on September 6, 1905, while they were living at 2494 Front street. he threw her through a doorway Into the hall, and then dragged her back Into the room and beat her and threatened to kill her. She also Informed the court that McClear neglected to support her, and hung around saloons. The litigants were married in Oregon City in August, 190. W ife Deserts Him. Edgar Haulenbeck was granted a di vorce by Judge Sears from Anna G. Haul enbeck, because of desertion beginning in the year 1900. They have no children, and there were no property rights at issue. They were married In 1895. The plaintiff testified that his wife went to St. Paul on a visit, and refused to return to him, although he twice sent her money to do so. His evidence was corroborated by his brother. Because of cruel treatment, Isabelle Sutford was divorced from Frank M. Sut- ford. a storekeeper and farmer at Lents The couple were married in 1882. and have six children, who were awarded to the custody of the mother. Mr. Sutford set tled the question of property rights with his wife, transferring to her property valued at about J7000. The defendant is said to have been guilty of infidelity on numerous occasions, but the plaintiff did not press that charge against nim. Will Prove Stubborn Contest. The suit of Katie J. Wilson against Joshua E. Wilson for a dissolution of the matrimonial bonds . and for a-division of nrooerty promises to be stubbornly contested. Mrs. Wilson In her complaint recites that the defend ant was guilty of cruel treatment toward her. and threatened to kill her and their two sons, aged respect ively 8 and 5 years. She further al leges that her husband owns valua ble real estate In East Portland and has J2000 in the First National Bank. Mr. Wilson Is a carpenter and he ad mits that he owns houses and lots at Grand avenue and Shaeffer street. He asserts in affidavits which he has sworn to that his wife wrote letters to him telling him that there was no love between them, and advising him that she would agree to a divorce, if he deeded to her one-half of the prop erty. Mr. Wilson also avers that his wife was authorized to withdraw his money from the bank, and either now has possession of it all or has spent It. He denies her charges of cruel treatment or that he ever threatened her on the children. Mr. Wilson has filed a number of affidavits In his own behalf. An affi davit subscribed to by Mrs. Minnie Sprague sets forth that Mrs. Wilson had a private letter box at the Post office and received letters from Charles W. Flynn, and 'did not 'want her husband to know of it. Affidavit further declares that Mrs. Wilson told her she was glad she left New Mexico because the boys there were too fond of her.

Moser, refused to answer questions concerning the disposition he made of money received from the sale of property in Cloverdale.

More applications for positions dur ing the coming year in the public schools of Portland have been re ceived by City Superintendent Rigler than have been filed any year in the past. The annual election of teachers will take place within a few days and indications are thafthe Board of Ed ucation will be fairly swamped with applications when it takes un the difficult task of choosing teachers. The exact time of the meeting will be set at the meeting of the board next Monday evening. Altogether about 850 applications for positions In the schools have been submitted to the board for its consid eration. Including the physical cul ture department as well as the teach ers there Is employment for 415 per sons in the schools of the city. With the exception of six, all of the pres ent teachers have asked to be con tinued in their present places during nt vear. In addition to these, 460 new applications have been filed, which Is nearly 2 JO more than usual ly received. Superintendent Rigler believes that the unusually large numoer. oi appu canto this vear is due to the Lewis and Clark Fair. A large portion of the new names submitted come from without the state. These, almost without excep tion, he says, are young people who came to Portland during tne exposition ana were so well pleased with the city that thev now desire to return and so seek permanent employment as teach ers. Others of the applicants are local persons and some come from other parts of Oregon. It is believed that In the great ma Jority of cases the positions will go to the nresent occupants as It Is gener ally conceded that the teachers of the city have been doing excellent work during the present year. STANDS HALFAND HALF Eight Counties Accept Prohibition and Eight Reject It. Eight Oregon counties accepted Prohi bition in Monday's election and eight re jected it. They are: "Dry" Sherman, Lincoln, Linn, Lane, Tillamook, Benton, Yamhill and Wallowa. "Wet Gilliam, Morrow, Malheur, Crook, Columbia, Polk, Lake and Coos. In Gilliam, Prohibition was defeated by 75 votes. In Crook, it was defeated in every precinct except one Mill Creek- and carried there by only one vote. In Sherman, the majority for Prohibition was 75. May Change Location of Office. Fred L. Olson, the newly elected Jus tice of the Peace for the East Portland District, desires to establish his office In the Burkhard building, at Union ave nue and East Bumaide street. The office Is at the present time located at Grand avenue and East Morrison streets, and certain attorneys think it should be kept there by Mr. Olson when he takes his of fice. Mr. Olson thinks the Burkhard building Is a more central point. Tester- day Mr. Olson and his counsel. John F. Logan, talked the matter over with Judge Webster and County Commissioners Barnes and Lightner, and It is probable that the new location will be agreed upon, A;HEALTHYiHA!R.
