Result of First Day's
Recount. .
These hot days are sure to find many folks unprepared for the weather, especially after the long, cool
Spring. Our stocks are well and carefully selected. Goods that would grace any person or home are here, at
prices in reach of alL Because we buy and sell only for cash; that saves us large discounts, and having no
"charge" accounts we lose nothing through bad bills. The saving on these two items are enormous. You
can readily see why it is that we can sell our goods for less money than any other house in the city.
By reading the following prices carefully and comparing them with others you will find that you can
SAVE MONEY by buying here.

The recount shows a gain of two
for Ptevens and a ' loss of two for
Word, rmfklng a total gain of four
for Stevens from the six precincts.
Robert L. Stevens, Sheriff-elect, drove
several spikes into hts election certificate
yesterday when In the recount of bal
lots cast In the Shrievalty contest the
first six precincts Increased his plurality
from five to nine votes. Stevens gained
two votes and Word lost two votes, thus
making four votes In favor of the Re
publican candidate. What Is regarded as
particularly significant and tends to In
crease the feeling of security on the part
of the Stevens adherents is that all but
one of the six were Stevens precincts,
and it was supposed that If any mistakes
whatever were discovered In these that
they would be favorable to Word In the
recount.
Friends of Stevens received the news
of the first blood being drawn by their
candidate with the utmost Interest, and
his stock began a rapid ascent. No lit
tle rejoicing and enthusiasm was dis
played about town last night when the
result of the first day of the contest be
came " generally known. The supporters
of Word declare that they place abso
lutely no Importance upon the recount
of yesterday, and attribute the gain of
Stevens to luck - and say that It is no
criterion to what Is to follow. Tbey ex
pect startling developments when the re
count Is well under way favorable to
Word. The betting upon the outcome of
the recount Is becoming quite brisk, and
the friends of Stevens have In some In
stances offered odds.
Judge Frazer Presides.
The recount was presided over by Judge
Fraier In department No. 3 of the Cir
cuit Court. It began at about 10 o'clock
in the morning, and was adjourned short
ly before 5 o'clock in the . afternoon. It
will begin this morning promptly at 9
o'clock. The ballots cast In precincts 1,
2. 3, 4, E and 6 were recounted yester
day. It Is not believed that all of the
ballot boxes can possibly be gone over
Inside of 10 or 12 days, as the votes
are counted at the rate of about 200 an
hour. There are nearly 20,000 votes to
be recounted.
The lntensest Interest was exhibited
during the progress of the trial. The
hall was crowded with an expectant and
eager throng, composed largely of the
friends of the two candidates. All day
long there was a procession of men lead
ing to and from the courtroom. Many
would drop In for Just a few moments
to learn of the latest developments, but
there were some who' remained during
all of the recount.
Stevens was represented by Dan J.
Malarkey, and the attorneys for Word
were Henry fl McGinn and V. K. Strode.
Deputy Sheriff George P. Morden acted
as teller for the Word forces, while David
B. Mackie represented Stevens. Robert
Donavan was clerk for Stevens, while
W. W. Mcintosh was Word's clerk.
County Clerk Frank S. Fields had charge
of the ballots, assisted by F. G. Wilde
and E. R. Lounsbury. Harvey Moreland
and Henry J. Kallsky were assistant
clerks. .
Stevens was present all during the re
count. The ballots were taken from the
boxes by County Clerk Fields and ar
ranged upon the long table, which had
been placed In position by the clerks.
Stevens occupied the first seat next to
the pile of ballots and he carefully ex
amined them one by one, handing them
to his attorney, Mr. Malarkey.
He in turn scanned them to see if they
were defective In any way, and passed
them along to Deputy Sheriff Morden and
Mr. Strode, who passed them to a clerk,
who called out the vote, which waB tal
lied by three more clerks. Each ballot
was most rigidly scrutinized and every
mistake was brought to the attention of
Judge Frazer, who decided whether or
not the ballot was to be counted. Gen
erally, Stevens would be the first to find
mistakes upon the Word ballots, to which
he would call the attention of Mr. Ma
larkey, who in most Instances would en
deavor to have them thrown out upon
the grounds that they were defective.
Mr. Strode would then most vigorously
object. Mr. Strode In turn would ob
ject to ballots for Stevens which were
not marked precisely as they should have
been. Several dozen ballots were ob
jected to and the court had to decide
upon them. Exceptions were taken to rul
ings of Judge Frazer upon 29 ballots,
which he will pass upon later. These
29 votes were counted and Just about as
many of them are for Word as for
Stevens.
Stevens gained three votes by the court
recognizing ballots which the election
officers had ruled void because of some
trifling error. One of these votes gained
was offset by the loss of another, ballot
for him. which was declared defective.
Word lost two votes on the decision of
the court that the ballots contained dis
tinguishing marks. Superfluous marks
upon ballots are technically known as
distinguishing marks. One of the ballots
In question had figures written upon it
and another was marked with a letter K.
Stevens lost his one v ballot because of
Its being disfigured with a large cross
for which there was no apparent occasion.

PROMOTION F0R BECKWITH
Former Portland Man AVells-Fargo
General Agent Here. .
The announcement was made yester
day that Harry Beckwith has been ap
pointed general agent of Wells-Fargo
& Co.'s office in Portland to succeed
Kugene Shelby, who has been promoted
to superintendent of the western divi
sion of the company with headquarters
at San Francisco. Mr. Beckwith, who is
a former Portland man, until the recent
change was made was assistant super
intendent at San Francisco. The change
is supposed to have gone into effect
yesterday and Mr. Beckwith will ar
rive in Portland the latter part of the
week to assume his new duties, when
Mr. Shelby will depart, for San Fran
cisco. The position of agent and assistant
superintendent at Portland which Mr.
Shelby occupies has been abolished and
the office of general agent substituted.
Mr. Beckwith lived in Portland until
three years ago and was with the Pa
cific Express Company. Mrs. Beckwith
is now in Portland.
Yesterday Mr. Shelby was presented
with a handsome gold match safe by
his fellow members of the noon gymna
sium class of the Y. M. C. A.
Employes of the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
office last evening presented Mr. Shelby
with a complete traveling set, which con
sists of a leather trunk, suitcase and
Gladstone bag. As his duties will require
considerable traveling, it was thought
that no more fitting, appropriate testi
monial of the esteem in which Mr. Shelby
Is held by all those who have worked witu
him could be given than the traveling
set. The presentation was made by George
E. Waite.

CREDIT MEN'S ELECTION
Choose Officers for Coming Year
and Hold Banquet. "
The Portland Association of Credit
Men held its annual election of officers
and regular monthly banquet last eve
ning at 6:30 o'clock at the Commer
cial Club. There was a good attend
ance, covers for 25 being laid. A splen
did dinner was served and the best of
good feeling prevailed. Paul D. Haas,
the retiring vice-president, presided.
Atter the regular routine business,
the following officers of the associa
tion were chosen to serve for the en
suing year: Paul De Haas, of the
Dougherty-FIthian Shoe Company,
president; J. L. Schultz, Prael-Hegele
Company, vice-president; F. S. West,
Goodyear Rubber Company, treasurer;
W. L. Abrams, Allen & Lewis, secre
tary. Three members of the executive
committee, to serve two years, A. H.

Dr. W. F. Freeman's AVlfe Receives
Liight on His Character.
That Dr. W. F. Freeman, of Toledo,
Wash., has eloped, or at least deserted
his wife Is now the general belief of those
familiar with the, case. Freeman is the
Individual who left his wife alone and
friendless at the St. Charles Hotel Mon
day and kept half the police force busy
looking for him. He took with him his
3-year-old son and $1000 in cash.
Mrs. Freeman has learned since that
her husband is reported to have deserted
a wife in Iowa a number of years ago.
She returned home yesterday to investi
gate a report that her husband has eloped
with a Toledo girl. The police have
learned that a man answering the descrip
tion of Freeman boarded a train at the
Union Denot Monday evening. He was
accompanied by a little boy.

WIT.IJAM M'MURRAY. WHO IS IV LINE FOR PROMOTION TO GENERAL
PASSENGER AGENT OF THE O. R. N. CO.
Although no word has come direct from Traffic Director Stubbs, of the
Harrlman system, as to the successor of A. L. Craig as general passenger
agent for the O. R. & N. Co., it Is generally believed among Portland railroad
men that William McMurray, assistant general passenger agent, will get the
plum. He has already been directed to take charge of the office when Mr.
Craig leaves, and It is probable that his temporary appointment will be made
permanent.
It Is known that Mr. McMurray Is a close friend of Mr. Stubbs and his
appointment as assistant general passenger agent was due partly to that fact.
That Mr. McMurray has "made good" here is well known, and probably no
one Is more cognizant of this fact than Mr. Stubbs, who Is credited with keep
ing in close touch with his subordinates.
. Mr. McMurray's long experience in the passenger business and his suavity
In dealing with the traveling public are both factors In bringing him forward
for promotion.
Government Rewards His Efficient
Service by Reappointment Ac
counts of Office Inspected,'
Found to Be Correct.
David M. Dunne was yesterday inducted
into office as Collector of Internal Reve
nue in the local district, which makes the
third Successive term for the local man.
At 10 o'clock the. Collector., accompanied
by B. M. Thomas and Frank Drlscoll. reve
nue agents, appeared before United States
District Judge Wolverton, at the Federal
Court, and the oath of office was admin
istered to Collector Dunne for the third
time.
Previous to the reappointment of Col
lector Dunne, the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue at Washington, D. C, had
sent several agents to the local office to
examine into the conduct of the same,
and as all reports gave the conduct of
the local office a high rating, it was de
cided to continue the Incumbent Collector
In office, for the department Is anxious
to retain all faithful servants whose
worth has been tested and approved.
Collector's Bond Approved..
Following the instructions of the chief
of his department. Revenue Agent B. M.
Thomas quietly Journeyed to Portland and
commenced checking up the accounts pre
vious to the transferring of the office
from the Collector back to himself, as
the routine of the office requires the same
procedure in reappointing a Collector as
though a new official were being induct
ed. The Collector's bond had to be re
placed wjth a new bond, and this was
readily secured.
Owing to a rumor going the rounds at
the Federal building that a new Collector
was to be appointed, the selection of the
incumbent created considerable surprise
among the other officials.
The efficient service rendered the Gov
ernment during his two terms as Collec
tor is best described in the words of
Revenue Agent Thomas, who. in referring
to the reappointment yesterday, said:
"Acting under Instructions from the
Chief of the Internal Revenue office, at
Washington, D. C, where Collector Dunne
is highly thought of, I proceeded north
from San Francisco for the purpose of
overseeing the transfer of the office from
the incumbent to himself.
"The transfer of the accounts and the
renewal of Collector Dunne's bond were
completed this morning, and I am highly
pleased to eay that his account do not
vary a quarter of a cent, which is a re
markable evidence of the capability of
the force handling the work under the
collector. You see this office handles
over 11,000,000 worth of revenue stamps
during the year, and these stamps are
of all denominations, ranging from one
eighth, one-quarter and one-half cent
stamps to higher values, and all are prac
tically alike, which demonstrates that the
handling of these has been in excellent
handA. These stamps include the revenue
on cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, rectifying
liquor, both wholesale and retail liquor
and other taxed articles.
"In checking up the offices of the serv
ice we grade each office, numbering them
from one to five, according to the condi
tion in which we find them. In this re
spect I am pleased to state that in my
report Colonel Dunne's office will have
the rating number one, which means that
it could not have been conducted in a
better manner. It Is very seldom that
an office Is given this rating, and Port
land may well be proud to have so effi
cient a representative of the Government
numbered among her citizens."
Efficient Record Rewarded.
When asked as to whether it was not
unusual for the department to retain the
same man as collector over two terms,
Revenue Agent Thomas said: "It is not
a frequent occurrence, for as a rule pol
itical influence is usually brought to
bear for the appointment of a new man
to each office, and only an efficient rec
ord during the term of office, or an un
usually strong pull with the head of the
department, serves to retain a man. In
the case of Colonel Dunne his efficient
services have brought a reward in the
shape of a third term, for his work is
highly appreciated at Washington."
Colonel David M. Dunne was first ap
pointed to the office of Collector of In
ternal Revenue' for this district on March
21, 1SS8. This was during the term of
President McKinley. On the expiration
of his first term he was reappointed un
der Roosevelt's administration. His re
appointment to a third term Is a flat
tering testimonial and his many friends
kept him busy yesterday acknowledging
their felicitations.
GIVE A ROSE FESTIVAL

Methodist Church Tomorrow Night.

place of the annual rose show, and to

vited, will be given at Grace Methodist

JONES MUCH SURPRISED
Says He Knows of No Reason fop F.
C. Cook's Attack.
The startling accusation made by Fred
C. Cook, local representative of the Roe
bllngs Construction Company, that T. J.
Jones, architect for the Portland School
Board Is entirely Incompetent to fill the
posltio'n he holds, and knows next to
nothing about his business, was widely
commented on in building circles yester
day. Mr. Cook made the declaration be
fore the health and police committees of
the Council Tuesday. He said In part:
"What are the schools in this city?
Nothing more than flretraps. It is a men
ace to the children to have a man design
ing the schoolhouses of the city who is
no more competent than Mr. Jones. He
knows next to nothing about his business
and is no more fit for the position than a
schoolboy would be who has spent a few
months in an architect's office.'"
Mr. Cook's statement was made during
a discussion on proposed changes in tue
building ordinances in the course of which
architects and builders were invited to
ofTer suggestions.
When seen yesterday Mr. Jones ex
pressed great surprise at Mr. Cook's
statement. He said he did not know of
any reason why Mr. Cook should have
made the statement, and in fact, did not
know Mr. Cook personally. Mr. Jones
says he has been in Portland nearly 25
years, and so far as the schoolhouses are
concerned has not heard a single com
plaint. Mr. Jones is the designer of the
East Side High School, his design having
been the winner in an open competition.
So far as could be learned, the Roeblinga
Construction Company has no offices In
this city, and Mr. Cook up to a year ago
was a salesman for an agricultural im
plement concern in this city. He could
not be found yesterday, but Mr. Jones
assured the reporter he would Investigate
the matter and would probably have some
thing to say on the subject today.
H0USEWARMING IS HELD
Rock Island Club Formally Thrown
Open to Visitors.
The Rock Island Club on the Willam
ette River was formally opened last night.
The club building was handsomely dec
orated and Portland society people filled
It till a late hour. The new clubhouse
is reached by the Oregon City cars, or
by boat. Many preferred last night to
make the trip from the city In their
private launches and sail boats. The
bridge from the bank near Island sta
tion on the car line has not yet been
completed, but launches were at the dis
posal of the visitors and frequent trips
were maie from the shore, to the island.
There was music and dancing and late
in the evening a banquet was served.
The club has an ideal location for a
Summer resort. Situated on an island in
the middle of the river, some six miles
from the city. It commands a superb
view down the river. Near about on the
island are beautiful groves of trees, which
if the plans of the club do not mis
carry will shade picnic grounds. Plans
have also been drawn for tennis courts
and other Improvements.
The clubhouse Is well built and com
modious. It stands well up from the
water and is surrounded by a large open
veranda. Inside are a dining-room, a
billiard room and dance hall.
About 600 people attended the house-warming.
