DISQUIET IN THE
OF
Rumors That His Supporters
Seek New Candidate for.v
President of Senate.
SICHEL NOW SPOKEN OF
Jtcach and Bailey, of Hodson's
Korccs, Sttid to Bo in Doubt.
Haines Xecds One or Two ,
Votes to Kulo Caucus.
Rumors that Hodson's supporters are
seeking a new candidate for President of
the Senate are persistent, and although
Hodson denies them, there is evident dis
quiet in his camp. Two of his Multnomah
supporters. Beach and Bailey, appear to
he (riving: trouble. Neither of them will
confess it for publication, but both are
dissatisfied with the progress of the Hod
son boom.
Bailey, in casting about for a new can
didate. Is said to be looking in the direc
tion of Sichel, of this county, while Beach
is understood to be waiting for the signal
that Hodson is down and out to support
Haines, of Washington County, who is
evidently the leading candidate at this
time.
For more than a week tales that Hod
son would be pulled down have been cir
culating. Hodson has denied them sharp
ly, saying they are like the chattering
of the inmates of the City Park monkey
age.
Signs are numerous that W. F. Mat
thews, ex-boss of Multnomah, whose in
fluence made Kuykendall President of the
preceding Senate and A. 1 Mills Speaker
of the last House, is working lor Hodson.
Hodson has repeated many times that he
knows nothing of Matthews doings. But
denials -of Matthews activity nowhere
are credited in political circles, and Hod
son has been his logical choice. It has
been reported that Matthews has told
Hodson of the difficulty and impossibility
of electing him and that coolness came
between the two in consequence of
Matthews' desire to pull Hodson down,
us he did Bailey for the Speakership two
years ano, and of Hodson's refusal to be
pulled down, but this tale can not be
verified.
Hodson's Friends Talk of Treachery.
It has been said also that Hodson's
friends feel warmth under their collars
on account of Matthews' slight to Hod
son the "double cross," as it is called,
signifying treachery. Then again it has
liren rumored that Matthews and the
Hodson forces might turn to an Eastern
Oregon man thus to take away from
Haines Kastern Oregon votes, on which
he relies perhaps to Whealdon, df Wasco,
a member of the Moody element, or to
liowerinan, of the same political stripe
as Whealdon.
Then it has been said that the. turn
might bo made to a Western Oregon Sen
atorfor this same purpose of taking
votes from Haines to Loughary, of Polk,
or Johnson, of Benton, or Coke, of Coos.
Yesterday it was rumored that the swing
might be made to Sichel. of Multnomah,
in. order to unite the opposition to Haines,
fivo votes of this county Bailey, Hodson,
Beach and Sichel and Malarkey. who has
declared he will not support Hodson.
These and many more reports are in the
air. They are cited here to show the drift
of the political current, for it would seem
that these rumors bobbing up here and
there indicate the direction matters are
floating. In one view they are evidence
of a very unsettled condition of affairs in
the "Hodson camp. They mark possibili
ties that might ensue if Hodson's support
should be transferred to another, and the
men, to one of whom the transfer would
be made.
This possible . change from Hodson is
viewed on .the Haines side with anxiety.
For three weeks past the Haines follow
ers have been guessing its effect. They
have said that they wanted Hodson to
stay In the race, because they could not
foresee what new perplexities might arise,
should his supporters center on a new
candidate, and draw to their number men
now accounted doubtful or possibly allied
with Haines. It is even said that in or
der to keep Hodson in the race, words of
encouragement have gone out from the
Haines -camp to Hodson. If this be true,
it would account for the perplexing atti
tude of several known Haines supporters,
who have been lending comfort to Hod
son. Haines Lacks One or Two Votes.
Haines, while evidently leading the
race, lacks one or two votes of the 12
needed to make him the Republican cau
cus nominee. It is said by his followers
that he has gained the two votes re
quired and one or two more, but that
their pledges are not so sure as those of
his solid ten.
For the two votes, Haines has looked to
Whealdon, but has found "nothing do
ing," except that Whealdon appeared to
be in a deal with the Hodson and
Matthews forces, and was plainly beyond
Haines' reach. Then Haines turned to
Laycock of Grant, but that Senator, as
reported in both the Haines and the Hod
son camps, has refused- to tie himself
until he shall have come to Portland and
made a personal survey of the ground.
Hart of Baiter has been approached with
the same end in view, but has said that
he does not see that either Haines or
Hodson has winning votes in sight.
Smith of Marion, claimed by both Haines
and Hodson. evidently will support Haines
if Haines can show enough votes to elect.
Johnson of Benton has apparently de
clined to make a tlc-up. Loughary of
Polk, while seemingly preferring Hodson,
has not detached himself from the
'"show-me" class of Senators.
The votes accounted safe for Haines
and Hudson are tho following:
For Haines Haines of Washington,
Wright of Yamhill. Scholfield of Clatsop,
Nottingham of Multnomah, Kay of Ma
rion, Miller of Linn-Marion, .Bingham of
Lane, Bowerman of Gilliam, McDonald of
Union, t'ole of Umatilla 10.
For Hodson Hodson. Beach, Bailey and
Sichel. of Multnomah; Booth of Lane,
Coke of Coos ti.
Doubtful Laycock of Grant. Hart of
Baker. Whealdon of Wasco, Johnson of
Benton, Loughary of Polk, Smith of Ma
rion 6.
Against Hodson Malarkey of Multno
mah. Total number of Republicans, not in
cluding Senator Mays, X; necessary for
caucus nomination. 12; necessary for elec
tion, 16.
To the doubtful list Hodson would add
Bingham. Miller. Bowerman, Laycock
and Cole', from the Haines list, but such
does not seem to be the attitude of those
men. Cole has ; promised to vote for
Malarkey, but as Malarkey is not an
active candidate. Cole is evidently not
bound to that obligation and would not
be unless there should occur a slump to
Malarkey.
What man would gather the most votes
against Haines? is the problem with his
enemies. If there should be a transfer
of votes from Hodson, could all Hodson's
present supporters be delivered to the
other candidate? One of the Senators
GAMP
DSOf
who might not be delivered Is Beach:
yet as several of Beach's intimate ad
visers are opposing Haines, it is said by
the antl-Haines followers that Beach
would not go to the Washington County
man. on leaving Hodson.
it has been an obstacle in the path of
Hodson that he has been unable to unify
the Multnomah delegation Qf Senators,
owing to Malarkey's ! and Nottingham's
hostility to him. This has bothered his
followers not a little, including C. H.
Carey and W. F. Matthews, who have
had their heads together over it fre
quently of late. The Sichel 'boom is said
to be of their making. Franchise inter
ests are highly "concerned in the matter,
too, especially the Portland General Klec
tric Company, which holds a perpetual
franchise in Portland and wishes to pre
serve it from molestation by the Legis
lature. .H. W. Goode. president of that
company, and A. L. Mills are giving' the
matter close attention. The franchise in
terests include also the Portland Gas
Company, one of, whose organizers was
Mr. Mills. These interests want a "sure"
man elected President of the Senate and
.union of Multnomah Senators.
THE NEW WATER RATES
Open Letter by Mr. Wngnon to tlie
Water Board.
H. D. Wagnon has addressed the
following open letter to the Portland
Water Board:
"To the Water Board Gentlemen:
The owners of the' Bull Run water
works were this morning given the
news that you had in your great wis
dom made a meter rate that was more
equitable to the small consumer; in
other words, that you lowered the rate
of the small user and that you raised
the rate of the large user.
"Let us see how the new rate will
affect the small user. You have been
charging him 30 cents per 1000 gallons,
and now In the magnanimous action
of your great throbbing hearts you
have cut his rate ZVt cents on each
1000 gallons. Just think of it! You
dropped his rate from 30 cents to 2654
cents. Gentlemen, your generosity will
remind the small nser of that charitable
man who butchered a bull and gave the
horns and hoofs to the poor.
"You have been charging the small
user 30 cents per 1000 gallons with no
discount, while you have been charg
ing the large user 10 cents per 1000
gallons and giving him 25 per cent dis
count; or, in other words, selling to
the large user for 7 cents per 1000
gallons. All this you have done, and
walked the streets without being
ashamed.
- "You have raised this 7-cent rate
to about 10 cents for the large user.
To, be exact, you have changed from
gallons to cubic feet. And you make
the rate per 100 cubic feet 20 cents to
the small user and 12V4 cents per 100
cubic feet to the large user. Why?
If ypu can sell water to the large user
at 12 "a cents . per 100 cubic feet, you
can sell it to the small user at the
same price, as the water handles it
self. Why take 7Vfe cents more on the
100 cubic feet from the small user? Is
that the Water Board's standard of
equity and justice?
"Gentlemen, why have you been so
liberal to the Northern Pacific Terminal
Company? Was it an object of charity?
You have not spared the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society. They have paid you
as high as $18.75 per month. And the
Children's Home you made them pay
as high as $25 per month. The Y. M. C.
A. you tax $75 per month for water.
All this ye have done, and Riven the
money taken from the charitable in
stitutions and the orphans to' the rich
landowners.
"Gentlemen, does the charter tell you
to discriminate against God s poor in
this way? In the language of the
street, you are tho limit.
"I ask the City. Council not to be a
party to this kind of discrimination
any more. They do not have to pass
an unfair water rate. They do not
have to pass a discriminating water
rate. No, gentlemen of the Council,
you can. and I think you will, refuse
to pass this discriminatory rate. The
voters of Portland want you to make
the Water Board play fair with the
small user.
"This letter I give to The Oregonlan
that it may' hand it to the people of
Portland (all the people), who own the
water that you are putting to a wrong
use." v
PROJECT NOT ABANDONED
Villa Street May Vet Be Widened to
Eighty Feet.
The effort to get a wide street through
Center Addition from Grand avenue to
the city limits is not to be abandoned.
On the contrary the scheme is to be
pushed with vigor and at a meeting of
the Council in the near future a resolu
tion will be introduced making East
Glisan 80 feet wide between Grand ave
nue and the Ladd farm, opening a street
SO feet wide through the Ladd farm and
making Villa avenue of the same -width
through to the city limits.
This is the new programme. H. B.
Dickinson, of Montavilla, says that while
no action was taken at the meeting Mon
day night, sentiment was not adverse to
a wide street. That meeting was called
to start a movement to improve Villa
avenue as a 60-foot street), but that plan
did not succeed. Mr. Dickinson says that
a man was present with a resolution to
this effect, but decided that he would not
introduce it. Mr. Dickinson expresses the
opinion that the movement for a wide
street will succeed, although it will take
hard work to get it througn.
The object of having a resolution in
troduced in the Council, he says, is to
bring the matter to a direct issue.
Beyond the city limits to Fairview the
farmers say they are ready to take care
of the extension in that direction. They
say they want an SO-foot county road.
An informal meeting of some of the
farmers was held in Montavilla Wednes
day night, and the route was discussed.
Several want the new road extended
directly eastward to the road that con
nects wth Gresham and Rairview. This
would be the most direct route, but some
others want the road to run slightly to
the north of this direct route coming out
at Fairview. a
As uoon as the route is settled on a
petition will be prepared for circulation
asking the county to open the road, con
necting with Villa avenue.

Y ADRilTTHEY
VOTED ILLEGALLY
Damaging Testimony Offered
in the Sellwood Election
Fraud Trial.
PROSECUTION RESTS CASE
Wilnesses Deelare They Were Taken
to Sellwood Precinct by Mayor
. Reed, or Kstacada, to Vote
on Local Option. i
Damaging evidence was offered in the
trial of J. W. Reed yesterday in the Cir
cuit Court for inducing voters to cast il
legal ballots at the last Sellwood elec
tion. The prosecution, after introducing
several witnesses who testified that Reed
persuaded them to participate in the Sell
wood election frauds, rested Its case, and
the defense will make an effort today to
break down the case of the state.
Testimony yesterday showed that Reed
induced Harry Young, who lives at 1444
Macadam street, to vote illegally at Sell
wood June" 4. Reed is said to have offered
to pay Young's hotel bill. Several wit
nesses testified that they did not live in
Sellwood either before- or since the elec
tion, but that they stopped at the Sell
wood Hotel over night and voted the wet
ticket there on election day.
Harry Young told yesterday how Mr.
Reed had made arrangements for himself
and others to. go to the Sellwood Hotel to
stay over night, with the understanding
that they were to vote "wet" on the fol
lowing day. The arrangement was car
ried out, the men going to the hotel for
the night, getting two meals there and
returning to their work the next morn
ing. Karly in the afternoon they went to
te polls and voted, and teir dinner was
brought to them at The Oaks.
J. E. Rischel. a resident of Oregon City,
told practically the same story as did
Y'oung, and some of the witnesses who
testified yesterday afternoon understood
they would establish their legal residence
in Sellwood by stopping at the hotel over
night. It was brought out that Reed
knew at the time he spoke to the men
about going to Sellwood that they lived
elsewhere. There were 26 men In the
crowd who stopped at the Sellwood Hotel
that night.
Keed Bid Not Intend to Break Law.
, W. T. Muir, one of the lawyers for the
defense, will endeavor t show that, while
Reed may have done wrong in getting the
men to go to Sellwood to vote, he iid it
not intending to break the law. and had
not endeavored to hide anything from
anybody. Muir will probably also try to
prove that the statute does not cover
this ease, because Reed did not induce
his employes to vote on the ticket as a
whole, but only on the prohibition ques
tion. '
County Clerk Fields, who was called
during the morning session yesterday,
testified relative to the location of Pre
cinct 37, and brought forth the affidavits
of 23 of the 26 voters from the Sellwood
Hotel.
Harry Young then testified that he was
a carpenter, formerly living at 1444 Mac
adam street. This is in the Fulton Pre
cinct. " " ,
"Mr. Reed asked me to go to Sellwood
to vote," said Mr Young in answer to
a question by Deputy District Attorney
Moser. "I told him at the time, the
Sunday before election day, that I didn't
think I could vote, but Mr. Reed insist
ed that I could. I told him that I didn't
want to be at' any expense on that ac
count, and Mr. Reed said I would not bo
out anything; , that everything would be
arranged."
Alfred Grill said that ho was a con
struction foreman, and that he worked
In Mav and June on the electric line be
tween Portland and Cazadero. One month
before election time he went to work
at The Oaks. Ho said that he never
talked with Reed about the election.
W. J. Bail, a carpenter, living at
Park Place and working at Estacada,
was called. He said that he worked with
Reed at The Oaks prior to dune 4. having
known Reed since the early part of April.
In answer to a question from the prose
cution, he said that there was something
said about voting to a party of men, he
being one of the party. He said Reed
told them that he would find a place for
them to stay that night, but that he did
not know where the place was until he
arrived in Sellwood. They arrived in Sell
wood between 5 and 6 o'clock in the eve
ning, Reed being one of the party. Mr.
Bail said there were eight or ten in the
party Who walked over, and that they
voted the next day.
Keed Spoke to Him About Voting.
Myrton Bell testified that he has lived
in Gladstone, on the O. W. P. line, for
four years, and is a carpenter. During
and after the election he was working
at The Oaks. He was one of those who
went to the Sellwood hotel, but did not
go with the party of which Mr. Reed
was a member. He said Mr. Reed spoke
to him about going to Sellwood on elec
tion day and about voting, that he usual
ly furnished him hia transporation back
and forth from work and that the O. W.
P. furnished him his luncheon that day.
He was in the habit of bringing his lunch
eon himself. v
E. H. Bollinger, who is a resident
of South Portland, said that he had never
stopped at the Sellwood Hotel except on
that one night the night before last elec.
tton day. Reed showed him a letter, he
said, which told him that he could go to
the hotel if he "wanted to. He admitted
that his signature was attached to the af
fidavit showing that he was a resident
of Preelnct 37 of Sellwood. He said he
went there with, the purpose of voting
on the prohibition question.
Henry Messing said that he now lives
in Sellwood. but that he formerly lived
at Oregon City, and was working at The
Oaks on election day. He worked under
Mr. Chapman, but never under Reed. He
said he walked up to Sellwood Sunday
night before election, going to the Sell
wood Hotel. He did -not pay his bill,' but
didn't know Reed at that time.
Shreve Haines, who lives at Clackamas
Station, four miles from Oregon City,
testified that he voted in Sellwood on
June 4, having established his legal resi
dence in that place by stopping at the
Sellwood Hotel. He believed in local op
tion, he said, but he did not vote until
after he had read a circular put out by
the Brewers' Association and circulated
by Mr. Chapman. He says he voted on
nothing but the question of prohibition.
Pages Torn From Register.
A. N. Fosdick testified yesterday after
noon that he was the proprietor of the
Sellwood Hotel at the time of the elec
tion in the Spring and that Reed . had
made arrangements with him for the ac
commodation of about 25 men for one
night. The men registered, but soon
afterward two pages were torn from the
register, he said. These two pages con
tained the names of the men who had
come there that night with Reed. Mr.
Fosdick said that he gave the men their
supper and breakfast, and the next day
sent their dinner to them at The Oaks.
in
Mr. Reed, he said, paid the bill with a
check for $25.
J. A. Morgan was called and testified
that at the time of the election he was
the night clerk at the hotel and assisted
in conveying the meals to the men at
work at The Oaks. He said that W. S.
Collins stopped at the hotel after the
election, but that he was the only one of
the. crowd of men to do so.
George Runbeck said that he resides at
Cazadero and works fori the O. W. P.
Company.' He said he was one of those
who went tcTthe Sellwood Hotel the night
before election.
County Clerk Frank Fields brought for
ward the poll-book of Multnomah County
to show that the name was duly regis
tered therein. The prosecution rested.
The court brought out that the question
is not whether or not Reed persuaded
anyone to vote for local option, but
whether he induced anyone to change his
habitation to Sellwood Precinct.
Sew Incorporations.
The Germania Land & Improvement
Company, of Oregon yesterday filed arti
cles of incorporation with the County
Clerk. Its object is to deal in real estate

SELLWOOD TO HAVE BANK
Institution to Be Established Witli
Capital of $30,000.
Announcement was made last night at
the meeting of the Sellwood Board of
Trade that a bank would be opened In
that part of the city on or about the
first of the year, with a capital stock
of $30,000. D. M. Donough, president of
the Board of Trade, said that he had en
tered into an agreement with Peter
Hume, of Brownsville, Or., after thorough
investigation, for starting the bank. It
was ascertained that the St. Johns bank
had prospered, and Mr. Donough said
that Portland bankers had Informed him
that they considered Sellwood a good
place for a bank. The intention is to
erect a two-story brick building on the
southwest corner of Umatilla avenue and
East Thirteenth street, tho lower room
to be used for the bank: The institution
will be opened as soon as temporary
quarters can be found.
J. M. Nickum called attention to the
unfortunate condition of the tug service
at the mouth of the Columbia River,
which he said was hurtful to the entire
state. He suggested that the Sellwood
Board of Trade go on record as favoring
an appropriation of $"00,000 for the con
struction of two powerful tugs for service
at the bar, inasmuch as the whole state
was interested in relieving conditions that
menaced the shipping interest. In lieu of
this suggestion a resolution was adopted
asking the Legislature to investigate.

BLUE BLOOD
May Be Aristocratic, But It's Liable to
Cmimi Cold Hands and Feet.
Wherever ' the Idea tha t blue-blooded
ancestry Is the best may have originated,
the fact is, physiologically speaking, blue
blood is bad blood.
That Is to say, the blood in the veins
which is dark and appears blue through
the white skin, is that portion of the
blood stream laden with the waste of
refuse material of tho system, after the
red blood (arterial) has carried real food
to the tissues. "Red tjlood" Is today the
mark of Nature's aristocrat.
When, from imperfect nutrition, the
blood loses its rich red color1 and becomes
dark or "blue" the result is cold hands
and feet, and more or less palpitation of
the heart, as well as general weakness.
Coffee drinking, in many persons, causes
blue blood and does not insure any coat-of-arms
or ancient pedigree except the
ancient habit of coffee drinking itself. A
"blue blooded" woman writes:
"I drank coffee for ten years.i my head
was dizzy, I had constant heartburn,
could not sleep nights, my hands and feet
were cold Summer and Winter, my blood
was poor and thin (Blue Blood!):
"Seeing so much said in praise of
Postum in the papers, my husband and I
decided to try it. That was more than a
year ago and we have used it ever sinc,e.
"Now my head is not dizzy, my hands
and feet are always warm, my nerves are
steady and I can sleep all night. A few
weeks ago, calling at a friend's house,
they said, 'What in 'the world have you
been doing? You look ten years younger.
I never saw you look so well.'
"When I told them it was on account
of Postum, that I had quit drinking
coffee, they could hardly believe it. But
some time after that they told me they
had been using Postum, too, had quit
caffee and were so much better every
way." Name given by Postum CO., Bat
