THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER, 7, 1906. BRAVE -BAN TO WATCH RETURNS Crowds Throng Wet Streets for News of Big Contest in New York. DEMOCRATS HOLD SESSION Local Hof-ts Convene at Powers' Place and Do Xot Give Vp Hopes of Hearst Victory Until Last Minute. While Oregon was only an onlooker in the political turmoil that ehook 43 state3 of the Union yesterday, interest In Port land could not have been more pronounced had the issues been of purely local ex traction. The streets were thronged -with people last night, all talking election. Thousands surged before the Oregonian building, braving the drenchinng rains, that they might get the latest returns from the various centers of activity. The widest and livelier interest, of course, centered upon the Hughes-Hearst fiesta forrthe Governorship of New York. The outcome of this great political con test aroused nearly as much interest as a first-class prize fight. Every word flashed across the bulletin board was read with breathless 'interest. Scores of men stood without umbrellas and were soaked to the skin Others, unable to gain footing on the crowded sidewalk, stood in the gutter, which was running with an inch or more of wa ter. There was little or mm. no cheering, yet everyone held on with a grim determina tion to see the finish of the game, no matter how unpleasant the elements -ttirsg was lively, generally in small amounts w.th plenty of cash in sight for both candidates. Hughes was a. 4 to 1 fa vorite during the aiternoon. although the greater portion of the betting was at 3 and 2 to 3. Along about 7:30 o'clock, wh.en partial returns seemed to give Hearst fome prospects of victory, the odda eased down to 2 to 1. and in some rases to 10 to 4. At S o'clock, however, the odds re sumed their old proportions, and at 10 o'clock Hearst money was hard to find. Nowhere was such keen interest in the contest manfested as at Pat Powers" place, where the lo- ! cai .Democracy con centrated itself and centrated itself and &l,iv - - prayed for Hearst's Rf T'PfV, election. Arrange- x-e. i?i.' f ments were made for special telegraph, ic returns, and ev ery scrap of infor mation available eagerness, as tne varying returns came in. the spirits of the assemblage went up or down with the ac curacy of a barometer. Once they had Hearst elected, inaugurated and at work at his desk, but the next dispatch put a sad crimp in this happy dream by placing Hughes' plurality at 11,0(10. The hopea of the local Democracy had been raited early in the day by a private telegram from Sam Wolf, who is now in New York City. Mr. Wolf had the situ ation well in hand and said Hearst was easily the victor. Pat Powers thought this settled the matter, but it was decided to sit up and watch the returns just as a matter of form. Those to assemble were .Alex Sweek. John B. Ryan. Joe JIalley, Thomas O'Day. John Manning. Eert Haney and Charles Petrain. The absence of General Kilfeather cast something of a damper upon the gathering. Inspired by the Wolf message and by the earlier reports received from New York, the meeting had practically re solved itself into a ratification celebra tion, when the cruel wires bore the sad intelligence that Hughes was ahead by a trifle of some 11.000 votes. A few minutes later the report came in that the Hughes lead was only 10,000. The effect of this was to lift the bulk of the solemnity that had crept into the session. "We've got 'em on the run now," said Powers, hopefully. "I notice Hearst is carrying the up state, and that ought to win for him," said Judge O'Day, as a fresh bunch of dispatches came In. "Sure it will," asserted Powers. "Didn't you see where The Oregonian said Buffalo was the barometer of the situation, and that if Hearst carried Buffalo he would be In the-Tace? Here is a dispatch that says he has the lead in Buffalo. Things are coming our way again. Hearst is bound to win." In the meantime a close watch on the situation in other states was being kept, and every time the word Democrat ap peared in a dispatch it brought applause or tears, according to the words imme diately preceding and following it. "I hear Larry Sullivan has swept Ne vada on the Demo cratic Senatorial ticket," 5 u g g ested Master of Ceremon ies Powers, and this intelligence drove Judge O'Day home. Not until a late hour, until their hopes of a Hearst victory had seeming ly been scattered to the winds, did the Democratic hosts sad ly wend their weary way homeward. "Hearst's defeat will break the hearts of the poor little Katzenjammer kids." said Charles Petrain. feelingly, as a sym pathetic tear slowly coursed its way lown his cheek. GERMAN EMPEROR'S VOICE How It Has Been Preserved for Fu ture Generations. Century Magazine. Through the American Ambassador, Charlemagne Tower, I applied for a "record" of the voice of the German Em peror for preservation in durable material in Harvard University, the National Mu seum At Washington and the Library of Congress at W ashington. The record is to be ,ept as a historical document for posterity. The phonetic archives at the in stitutions mentioned are to include rec ords from such persons as will presum ably have permanent historical interest for America. The importance of the undertaking can be estimated by con sidering the present value of voice records by Demosthenes, Shakespeare or Emperor William the Great. The Emperor consented, and the ap paratus was set up in the palace. I asked for four records, one for each of the institutions mentioned and one for my own scientific investigations. The Emperor, however, made only two rec ords, designating one for Harvard Univeisity and the other for the other purposes. The two records were made by a phonograph with, specially select ed recorders in wax. cylinders. Such cylinders are of no permanent value, because they are often injured by mold, and sooner or later they always crack, owing to changes in tempera ture. From each original "master record" a. metal matrix was made by coating it with graphite and then galvanoplat ing it. The wax master record was then removed (being destroyed in the process), leaving a mold from which "positives" that is, copies of the orig inal could be cast. Durable positives were cast in a hard shellac composi tion and in celluloid. Some casts were also made in wax, and new metal mat rices were made from these. In this manner the following material was ob tained: (1) A metal matrix and posi tive of Record No. 1, deposited in the National Muslim at Washington; (2) a similar 6et of Record No. 1, deposited in the Congressional Library at Wash ington; 3) a similar set of Record No. 2, deposited at Harvard University; (4) a complete set for both records fa metal matrix and positive of each. which I presented to the Emperor, and (5) a reserve set of both. These are the only records of the German Em peror's voice which exist at the pres ent time. MAY RESUME LAND TRIALS Judge Gilbert Says Heney May Come in December.

The new officers end board of directors will incorporate the club at once as & benevolent organization, when it will be in position to proceed with selection of plans and election of the proposed $10,000 clubhouse on Morris street, Albinia. Francisco, where he haft been presiding over the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, held a long conference with United States District Attorney Bristol yesterday afternoon. Beond a general discussion of the many cases, both civil and criminal, which are pending before the Federal Courts here, nothing definite was settled upon. It is believed, however, that instead of the land fraud cases going over until 1907, Special Prosecutor Heney will be on hand early in December and that the land fraud trials will be resumed. Judg,; Gilbert is of the opinion that in spile of the fact that Mr. Heney is ex ceptionally busy just now, he will have mastered the details of the graft investi gation which he is now conducting in San Francisco, so that he will come to Port land in December. Judge Gilbert says that Mr. Heney, in addition to hie graft caeesi in San Francisco, has a very im portant case coming up in Arizona, but he believes Mr. Heney will be able to con tinue his Arizona case, and this will give him an opportunity to come to Portland. This information was exceedingly pleas ing to Mr. Bristol. Judge Wolverton,v who is also in California, is expected back on Friday or Saturday. On the arrival of Judge Wolverton, there will be a confer ence between the two Federal judges and Mr. Bristol, and the calendar for the ap proaching term of the United States Court will be made up. BUYS A HOTEL PROPERTY Portland Brewing Company Invests $16,00 0 on Hood Street. The Wisconsin Hotel property, at Hood and Lincoln streets, was purchased yes terday from A. N. Fosdick by M. Reinstein. its president and manager, for the Portland Brewing Compiany. The property is an irregularly shaped piece 61x110x130. The sale was made through the Oregon-Pacific Investment Company, and the consideration was $16,000. The Brewing Company will use the property in connection with its business at pres ent, but may make improvements later. How to Detect Criminal Ears. Leslie's Weekly. The next time you catch, a burglar, sit down on him firmly and study his ears. This will be amusing for the burglar and it may add considerably to your knowl edge of the burgling profession and en able you, possibly, to detect the followers of that gentle art among your chance acquaintances. Professor Blau, a Ger man physician and scientist, has recently made public the results of an extensive study he has made of the ears of crimi nals, antl his statements are of value, if confirmed. The professor concludes that In a vast majority of cases the various parts of the external ear are larger in the case of criminals and lunatics than in normal persons. This is especially noticeable in the helix or outer border of the ear, and also in the lobe. According to Professor Blau. the larger the helix is. the lower is the state of mental de velopment. The hearing faculty, on the other hand, is keener. Professor Blau illustrates his theory with a reference to the auricles of apes, which all possess an extended outer border. Professor Blau remarks that abnormal development of the outer border is mors noticeable among criminals charged with sexual crimes than among other classes of criminals.

Whyte Evans Says He Represents Capitalists Who Will Take Prop erty for 9 9 Years Plan Fine Building. An agreement was signed yesterday whereby an option to lease the valuable block of Washington street property, owned by H. L. Pittock. was acquired by J. Whyte Evans. The contract con templates one of the most important leases, in point of value, ever negotiated on the Pacific Coast. If closed, the lease ELECTED FOR CATHOLIC YOUNG A. R. Zellar, Vioe-Prftident. will extend over a period of 99 yeaTs. The block owned by Mr. Pittock, and for which an option to lease has been given, is the largest individual holding on Washington street, the most import ant business thoroughfare in Portland. It lies north of Washington street, being bounded on the other sides by Stark, West Park and Tenth streets. At present the improvements are dwellings, but if the lease is closed, as Mr. Evans gives assurance it will be, steps will soon be taken to erect a handsome business struc ture covering the entire block. The option to lease has a stipulated duration of 60 days. At or before the end of that time, if the agreement is made permanent, Mr. Evans will give a bond to comply with the provisions embodied in the contract. He announces that with out question the lease will be closed and that at the end of two months work will commence upon the erection of the new building. The closing of the lease would be regarded as the most important event which has recently occurred in Portland real estate circles. "The contract that I have taken for the lease of Mr. Pittock's property will certainly be made permanent." said Mr. Evans last night "The deal is all financed and I regard it as closed. It is the largest lease ever made on the Pa cific Coast. The transaction is based on a valuation of the property at $500,000. "The building which we shall erect upon the property will be one of the finest in the city. It will be six. or possibly seven stories in height and will cover the entire block which we shall control. It will be in every way a building of the most modern type and its erection will in volve an outlay of more than $500,000. At present we are not ready to announce the exact purpose which the building will serve. "We shall do nothing until the first of the year, when the present improvements will be removed and excavation for the new structure begun. There will then be no further delay, but the building will be rushed to completion, and when done will be a modern building in every respect. "At this time I do not desire to an nounce the identity of those interested with me in the project. I can only say that they are outside capitalists vho have confidence in Portland and who consider this one of the most desirable opportuni ties for investment of which they have known. The money which they will ex pend and the improvement which they will make will mean a great deal to Washington street and the entire city." If the contract to lease is closed by Mr. Evans, the transaction will doubtless have a stimulating effect upon values all along Washington street. A building covering the entire block would be re garded as one of the most important of the many improvements now in prospect for Portland. Several other notable improvements for Washington street, in addition to those now in progress, have been announced and will be taken up in the Spring. FAVORS NEW YORK FORM Chamber of Commerie Working for Standard Fire Policy. That business men and the general public may be benefited by a uniform fire insurance policy form, the Cham ber of Commerce yesterday took steps to secure a standard policy. It is claimed that with the adoption of un iform policies by the different insur ance companies there will be no call for experts to pass upon a policy when a business man insures and the change will greatly facilitate business. At the regular monthly meeting of the trus tees of the chamber yesterday Secre tary Giltner was instructed to take the question up with the Secretary of State of Oregon and suggest that the New York standard insurance form be placed before the coming session of the Legislature for adoption. The appointment of delegates to the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress was authorized and the delegation will be named by the president. It was also decided to appoint delegates to the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, which will meet at Washington Decem ber 6 and 7. The naming of the dele gation will be left to the transporta- - J ': f H - if tion and navigation committees, who will act jointly. The trustees recommended that a naval attache of the United States be stationed at Yokohama- It was de cided to send letters to similar organ izations urging that they take similar action. This step was taken in ac cordance with the suggestion of Consul-General Miller that an official of this kind will encourage commercial relations with this country. The following firms and individuals were elected to membership: William T. Carroll, Evans i Sal, Portland Marble Works, Charles Stern & Co.. Sher man. Clay & Co.. McEwen & Koekey, Bailey & DeTarmond, Portland Linotyping Co., J. B. Kelly. Covell Furniture Company, S. M. Blumauer, Oregon Paper Box Company. H. Brown & Co., F. P. Keenan Company, Thomas B.

The first city prisoners for the rockpile at Kelly Butte were taken from police headquarters to the quarry yesterday afternoon in the patrol wagon and a trolley-car, guarded by Patrolman Wade and Watchman Briggs, who are in charge of the county prisoners. Seven vagrants sentenced to terms in the City Jail by Municipal Judge Cameron were sent out and will begin crushing stone this morning. In a patrol wagon the prisoners were taken, handcuffed and under guard, to First and Alder streets, where they were MEN'S CLUB, ST. MARY'S PARISH, ALBINA it " V- A. i 4 3 11 it 3. P. Kellcher, Secretary. put aboard ae trolley-car on the Oregon Water Power line, to be taken to the nearest point to Kelly Butte. From there they walked Daniel Gilmore, arrested for vagrancy and found guilty, has the longest term of any of the city prisoners sent out yes terday. He is scheduled to break rock for 90 days. Hart and Hugh Simmons, alias "the Jamaica Coon." have to serve 30 days each. Mike McNulty must serve 25 days; Jesse McGee must serve 20, and Will Stinholtz an equal number. Chief of Police Gritzmacher is elated over the fact that in the future city prisoners found guilty of vagrancy and other misdemeanors must serve time at rock-breaking instead of being held in jail, fed three square meals a day and kept warm with fires paid for by the city. It is the prediction of Chief Gritzmacher that there will be much less crime this Winter because of the establishment of the rockpile W. C. T. U. NOT INVOLVED Officers Say It Had Xo Part in Woman's Suffrage Election. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 6. fTo the Ed itor.) So much has been said in the last few days in the daily press in regard to the Woman's Christian Temperance . Union in connection with the election of officers of the Equal Suffrage Association on last Saturday, that a brief explanation seems necessary. In the absence of the state president, the members of her cabinet make this statement: The w. C. T. U. had noth ing whatever to do with this matter, were not consulted in regard to It. and knew ab solutely nothing about it. Whatever a few members have seen fit to do personally was done on their own responsibility. When tne state president returns, if ac tion in regard to the suffrage question is deemed necessary, it will be taken in a dignified manner in keeping with the prin ciples of the Christian organization we rep resent, and not as a rabble.

A runaway occurred at the Southern Pacific freight sheds at 5:45 yesterday evening which resulted in the serious injury of one of the horses of a team belonging to O. M. Allen, a furniture mover, the demolition of his wagon, and the destruction of a Union Trans fer wagon in a collision at the corner of Sixth and Couch streets- The horses were caught and taken to the Union Transfer barns, at Sixth and Glisan, where a long gash in the breast of ono of the animals was sewed up.

PRESSURE IS TOO STRONG Banker Confers With Councilmen and Mutual Concessions Are Made May Consent to East Twelfth Improvement. With the entire Brooklyn neighbor hood urging the opening of East Ninth street and members of the Council de claring that the improvement must be carried through, W. M. Ladd yester day agreed to withdraw his opposition to the improvement of the thorough fare through the tract owned by the Ladd estate, south of Division street. , : i - 1 t X TX4 1 X F. W. Washer, Tranrer. Mr. Ladd's agreement to forego further protest was made with Councilmen Rushlight and Menefee yesterday aft ernoon. In company with Mr. Ladd the two Councilmen went over the ground sur rounding the Ladd tract. Mr. Ladd renewed his objections to the exten sion of East Ninth street, asserting that he wished to hold the site for fac tory and terminal purposes. Mr. Rush light, however, urged the opening of the street, saying that the people of the neighborhood were unanimously in favor of it, and an understanding was finally reached. In return for the withdrawal of the opposition to East Ninth street, Mr. Rushlight agreed that he would not urge the opening of Ivon and Clinton streets before the Council at present. Proceedings on the latter two streets were recommended discontinued by the streets committee of the Council in re sponse to the request of Mr. Ladd at the last meeting. It i? probable that the final steps for the improvement of East Ninth street wHl be taken by the Council at its meeting this afternoon. The mat ter was held up for investigation by the streets committee, but as an agree ment has been reached it is probable that a report will be returned today. Mr. Rushlight said last night that he would endeavor to bring about a short meeting of the committee before the session of toe Council in order that action might be taken. Mr. Ladd also intimated that he might withdraw his remonstrance to the improvement of East Twelfth street. The proceedings on this street were stopped by the Ladd remon strance a short time ago, and residents in the neighborhood are very anxious to have them continued. NOW MOXTA VILLA HAS DEMAND Citizens Want Villa Avenue Opened Through Ladd Tract. c A resolution has been prepared and may be introduced at the Council meeting this afternoen providing for a 60-foot street through the Ladd tract, connecting Villa avenue with East Gilsan street, and pro viding an outlet for a very large distrlot east of this tract. This was the plan yesterday, but it may be changed eo that action will be postponed However, the intention is to seek an opening through this big tract as soon as possible. Villa avenue has been made a 60-foot street be tween the Wfberg lane, at the east side of the Ladd tract, to West avenue, but from West avenue to the city limits at Montavilla, Villa avenue is still a county road, and it will require official action to make it a street. H. B. Dickinson, of the Montavilla Im provement League, which has been urg ing the opening and improving of Villa avenue, expressed the opinion yesterday that it would be to the best interest of the Ladd estate to open an SO-foot street instead of 60-foot. There has been some talk to the effect that Mr. Ladd would not object to opening a street through the tract, following the route of the Montavilla railway, and even favored doing so. This report has not been verified, and is pot given entire credence. The people who are urging the improve ment of Villa avenue would be glad to get through this tract amicably if possible, but judging from the experience of other sections they expect to encounter obstacles. The Improvement League and Board of Trade, of Montavilla. have been working a little at cross-purposes on the width of Villa avenue, but the present indications are that it will be made a 60 foot street to the city limits at Monta villa. It could then be opened as a county road through to Fairview if the farmers interested so desired. Smothered to Death in Wheat. NEW YORK, Nov. 6 Patrick Dolan, foreman of the grain-handlers in the ele vator of the William Baird Company. Brooklyn, fell into a pit containing 3000 bushels of grain yesterday. The little kernels, rolling against one another like the myriad cogs of a great machine, gripped his feet, his ankles, his legs, his knees, crowding each other like honey cells, held him fast and drew him down with a power that was irresistible. Dolan plunged this way and then that, and with every step the quicksands gripped him more firmly. Petro Amazio. a fellow-worker, threw a rope to Dolan. which the latter seized so desperately that he pulled Amazio into the pit. Other workmen, who had been to lunch, now heard the outcries, but both men had disappeared when they reached the scene. A rush was made for the chutes through which the grain is unloaded and unfas tening the covers, the men let the wheat run into the street. Soon Amazio's body shot down the chute and Dolan's followed. The latter was dead, having been smothered, but Amazio was still alive and will recover. IT CANNOT BE REVOKED But City Attorney Says Fourth-Street Franchise May Be Regulated. There is no power vested in the city to revoke the franchise of the Southern Facific on Fourth street, according to a written opinion prepared by City Attor ney McNary in response to the request of Mayor Lane and filed with the auditor yesterday. The opinion of the City Attor ney is to the effect that the franchise granted in 1S69 is still binding, even though it was granted to the Oregon Central, a company which has been out of existence for 30 years, and which transferred its rights to the Southern Fa cific. In his communication Mayor Lane called attention to the fact that the usual power to transfer its rights to " success ors or assigns" was not included in the franchise' and questioned the legal right of the present holder because of this omission. The City Attorney holds tnat in franchises of this character the right to transfer is implied, whether expressed or not. Court decisions and leading au thorities, he says, support this view. The City Attorney sets out the belief, which he expressed to the judiciary committee some time ago. that the city has the right to regulate the use of the line on Fourth street in any way it may see fit. The city misht require the company to use electricity instead of steam as a mo tive , power, and might enforce other changes it deemed desirable. GOT A RUN FOR MONEY Portland Men Who Bet on Hearst Are Satisfied. Those sharpshooters who could not re sist the temptation to grab that Hughes 4 to I coin yesterday, are now satisfied witn the run they got for their money. Sunday there wasn't much doing with the local speculators, but yesterday morn ing when Charles Sweeny, the Spokane millionaire, deposited $2000 at. Schiller's Sixth and Washington street cigar store, and $1000 was left there by another Hughes supporter, speculating on the New York election became very active and remained active all day. While no big bets were made, nearly all the $3000. most of it at 3 to 1. was taken before nightfall. At 3 and 4 to 1, it did not take much money to eat up the $3000. A great deal of the Hearst money that was bet, was not wagered because those who got their money down were in sympathy with Hearst, or even felt that he would be elected. They figured that even if he were defeated by the man who exposed the insurance graft, they would get a run for their money, for there was a small chance that Hearst might win. A part of the $3000 which George Cald well and Ed Detrick handled, perhaps about $500. was wagered at evens that Hearst would carry New York City. The bulk of the money bet, however, waa placed on the result. MEMBERS WILL ENTERTAIN Rooms of Commercial Club Thrown Open Tonight. For the first time since the Commercial Club established itself in its temporary quarters at the corner of Alder and Sixth streets. Ladies will be welcomed to its rooms tonight, the occasion being an en tertainment for the members and their friends. A lecture on "Oregon's Scenic Attractions," by Judge C. B. Watson, of Ashland, is the leading number on the programme. Judge Watson will speak from an intimate knowledge of the many scenic features of this state. Judge Watson accompanied the Com mercial Club excursion to the Klamath country, and later to Crater Lake, and it was on this trip that he was asked to tell the excursionists something of the ge ology of the Cascade range. This talk so pleased the members of the club that they have invited the Judge to repeat his address, adding to it by enlarging on Oregon scenery. Judge Watson is familiar with the Indian legends of the Southern Oregon country, and this feature of his address will doubt less prove very attractive. The talk will he illustrated with lantern slides. LAWYERS IN CONVENTION Oregon Bar Association Meeta iu This City November 20.
