Three Aspirants From Outside Coun
ties After Votes of Portland
Lawmakers.
Eager to win votes In Multnomah
County for Speaker of the Oregon
Legislature, Frank Iavey, of Salem; W.
I. Vawter. of Medford, and B. F. Jones,
of Independence, have been running
after Multnomah lawmakers, each try
ing to show them that he has more
votes than his rivals , outside this
county, and that lie needs only tills
county's lawmakers to make his elec
tion certain.
Vawter was in Portland Monday and
yesterday and then went to Oregon
City to try his persuasions on the four
Kepresentatives from that county. He
had heard that one of the Clackamas
Representatives, while in Portland sev
eral days ago, said he would support
Davey and expected his colleagues to
do the same. This put Vawter oji
his mettle, and away he hied to the
City by the Falls. Last Tuesday
Vawter was in Astoria, where there
are two votes for Speaker. On return
ing to Portland he expressed satisfac
tion with his mission . to the City by
the Sea.
Davey was in Portland last Sunday
and has been here at otljer times on
the same mission as Vawter. Jones
has paid the city only one visit of late.
Iavey claims ,34 Republican votes;
Vawter claims 30, and Jones, claims
81. The conflict of their claims is evi
dent from the fact that there are but
69 Republican votes.
Meanwhile Chapin, aspirant in this
county, thinks he has a good chance
himself. Vawter has been trying to
lead Chapin into a, tieup, -whereby
Chapin should throw his support to
Vawter, and while Chapin might be
willing, In case a Multnomah man
should be elected President of the Sen
ate, he Is not ready ' yet for such a
pact, owing to the . uncertainty of
Multnomah in the Senate.
Davey and Vawter each say that they
expect to get six or eight votes in Mult
nomah County. Those who were nomi
nated on what was called the Bourne
ticket in Multnomah five in number
are claimed by Davey. and those nomi
nated on what was called the anti-Bourne
ticket six in number are claimed by
Vawter. Chapin expects to have the
support of at least 10 of Multnomah's 12
Representatives and says he thinks the
two others, meaning Drlscoll and Coffey,
will feel the force of public opinion draw
ing them to support a Multnomah man.
The result of the fight for President
will have big effect In the contest for
Speaker. For should a Multnomah.man
win the Presidency. Chapin will be elimi
nated, and the contest will lie between
Vawter and Davey, for it does not appear
that Jones Is gathering much support.
In that case, Multnomah forces would
probably be divided between Vawter and
Davey, Chapin's followers going to Vaw
ter. Chapin's opinion that he can unite
Multnomah's Representatives does not
have credence with the members for this
county, and they are speculating on the
probability that ColTey, Drlscoll, Adams,
Burns and Bayer will be beyond Chapin's
reach.

BUYS BELVEDERE LEASE
THEODOKE KRUSE TO OPERATE
HOTEL AXD RESTAURANT.
Purchases Business From Strobel &
Barenstecher Lease Has Over
Five Years to Run.
An Important business and lease
transfer occurred yesterday. when
Theodore Kruse purchased from Strobel
& Barenstecher their rights as pro
prietors of the Belvedere Hotel and
the Louvre cafe and restaurant. Mr.
Kruse has acquired full control of the
property under the lease held by the
present tenants.
The Belvedere and the Louvre oc
cupy a five-story brick building at the
northeast corner of Fourth and Alder
streets, with 75 feet frontage on
Fourth and 100 feet on Alder. The
building is the property of the Wilson
estate. The lease which has been
transferred was drawn up two years
ago, and will not expire for five and
one-half years. The consideration in
volved in the lease and in the present
sale is not made public. The negotia
tions were closed yesterday, and Mr.
Kruse will take charge of the busi
ness today.
Mr. Kruse Is the proprietor ot a
restaurant at Fourth and Stark
streets. It is the portion of a half
block on the south side of Stark
street, between Third and Fourth, and
owned by Rufus Mallory. Mr. Mallory
leased the property some time ago to
H. O. Stlckney, acting for others. The
lesses, who have control of the prop
erty for 30 years, are planning to erect
next Spring ah eight-story building
covering the entire half block. This
lease will force the Kruse restaurant
to secure a new location, and it Is
for this reason that the Belvedere and
Louvre have been secured.
Xew Building for Park and Alder.
A fine 'business and office building
is to be erected immediately at the
northeast corner of Park and Alder
streets by E. A. Baldwin and F. O.
Downing. Whidden & Lewis have pre
pared specifications for the structure,
which is to be six stories in height
and cover a quarter-block. Work of
clearing the ground to begin excava
tion has already commenced.
Although hot strictly a Class A
building, this structure will be modern
in design and construction. It will
cost $175,000. Steel girders and col
umns will be used, and the exterior
will be of light-colored pressed brick.
There will be a court opening on Alder
street, and another at the rear, thus
permitting all rooms to open outside.
The site Is known as the Comstock
property and was purchased by Bald
win and Downing about six years ago.
Minor Transfers.
Louis Gerlinger has sold to Barbara
B. Dalton a two-story frame building
on the west side of Second street, be
tween Oak and Pine. The building oc
cupies a site 25x95. between the police
station and an enginehouse of the Are

$17,000. Mr. Gerlinger purchased the
property six months ago for $13,500.
C. R. Berry has bought a quarter
block residence property . at East
Twenty-first and Clackamas streets.
It was purchased through the firm of
Holmes & Menefee, and the considera
tion was $3000.
Eastern .statistical publications which
have been received show that Portland
again leads the list of the cities In
gain of building activity during the
month of November. The Increase of
building In Portland .over November,
1905, was 77 per cent. The cities of
the country, as a whole, showed a
falling off during November of 21 per
cent.
SYMPATHY, JJUT NO STRIKE
fContinued From First Page.)
questions and advise the electrical
workers.
There was but little violence shown
in the streetcar strike yesterday. A
Piedmont car was derailed yesterday
morning on Holladay avenue. It was
said the accident was caused by ob
structions placed on the track.
Some hoodlum fired a shot through a
Woodlawn car last evening at Pied
mont. No damage other than a broken
window resulted. It was reported last
night that someone had fired a shot
through the Vancouver car leaving the
Columbia River ferry on the last ?rip,
but no one was hurt. Several railroad
torpedoes were placed on the tracks
at different points last night, but they
did no damage except to frighten timid
passengers when they exploded.
A fist fight occurred yesterday on a
Sellwood car on Milwaukle avenue be
tween Conductor Oscar Stanley and H.
Thompson, a motorman for the O. W.
P. Co., who is out on strike. Thomp
son says he exhibited Ms carman's
badge in lieu of farS,, as is the custom,
when Stanley tried to take it from him.
He demurred, and said he would pay
his fare if desired, and did so. Thomp
son says Stanley then reached in his
pocket and tiled to steal his badge.
In trying to prevent the conductor from
taking his badge, Thompson's coat
was torn. Stanley is then said to have
exhibited a slungshot and to have tried
to assault Thompson with It, when the
latter fought him, coming out the vic
tor. Thompson secured a warrant for
Stanley's arn.-st in the Municipal Court.
The trial was set for Friday morning.
There was to have been a meeting
of the Union Labor partv last night In
the Cooks and Walters Hall on Fifth
street, but it was postponed one week
on account of the meetings of the vari
ous union organizations in the Drew
building.
Statement by Manager Fuller.
"I am much pleased with the develop
ments of today in that there was no
interruption or Interference -with the
operation of cars," said General Man
ager Fuller last night "It is also
gratifying that such a large number bf
men stood ready to resume the evening
service.
Thfe car schedule today very nearly
reached normal conditions. Cars were
rtrn tonight on every line not previous
ly operated on the West Side, and on
tlje Union avenue lines on the East
Side. The extended .service enabled
evening shopping to be resumed, and
gave better accommodations In taking
workmen to and from their homes than
at any other time during the present
disturbance. The public freely patron
ized the various lines, showing no re
luctance or fear.
"In reference to published statements
to the effect that the 600 carmen of the
company now working have made de
mands on the company similar to those
advanced In the name of the union,
without authority or even knowledge
of the carmen actually affected, the
management wishes to say that no such
demands or requests have been made.
"A committee of four from among
the employes at the Piedmont barn did
call upon me and request my attend
ance at a meeting held at the Piea
mont barn Tuesday night. As that was
the first night chosen to operate cars,
however. It was Impossible for .me to
be present. The committe also wished
to inquire as to the plan to be followed
as to the operation of night cars in the
re-establishment of the service on the
lines which the carmen might feel were
liable to disturbances. They were
assured thrft men would not be re
quired to do work on lines that were
dangerous.
"It was the opinion of the committee
and also the sense of the subsequent
meeting that any question of hours,
runs and other conditions affecting the
relations of carmen and company should
not be taken up at this time, but should
be considered after the return to normal
operating conditions. Although the
statement has been made that the com
pany has refused requests of Its men,
this is not the case, as at the present
time there are no requests from em
ployes presented for consideration. It
has always been the policy of the
company to receive and consider such
requests when made, as has been of
frequent occurrence."
Cars Run on Schedule Time.
Cars were run yesterday on all lines
practically on schedule time. Last night
ail lines were in operation except the
Steel bridge lines. The peninsula has
been found to be unsafe for cars after
night under present conditions and until
men at work on cars are left undisturbed,
no attempt will be made to run at night.
However, as the Union Avenue cars were
in operation, the Albina district was not
without car service. St. Johns was cut
oft from communication with the city
after dark. It has been found that these
cars have had more or less trouble since
the strike started and the men operating
them are threatened more than those on
any other line. t
In addition to the cars run Tuesday
night, the South Third street, Fulton,
Fifth and Jefferson street and Portland
Heights cars were operated on the West
Side. The Vancouver, Woodlawn, Broad
way and Alberta lines were added on the
East Side. The service was not as com
plete as that operated regularly but It
appeared to meet the reoulrements.
Owing to the stormy condition yester
day, there were more people who patron
ized the cars than at any time since the
strike started. Every car, with few ex
ceptions, seemed to carry a large quota
of passengers. There are many union
men, however, who will not ride on the
cars while there is a strike in progress.
Some people of strong union sympathies
even prefer to walk to the most distant
suburbs rather than ride on cars which
the labor unions regard as "unfair."
Strike at Portland Iron Works.
A strike is on at the Portland Iron
Works. Ten machinists walked out be
cause, they allege, another of their num
ber was discharged because he is a union
man. The molders are still working, as
the shop has not yet been declared "un
fair" and the option for placing the boy
cott on the establishment has been left
with the molders, who are also union
ized. Non-union machinists are still
working at the shop. In case the place
is declared "unfair," the molders will
probably walk out and teamsters are
likely to place the shop under the ban
and refuse to haul materials to and from
the place.
NO "GUX PERMIT" ISSUED.
Strikers Ask Chief If Carmen Are
Allowed to Carry Weapons.
A delegation of striking streetcar em
ployes waited on Acting Chief of Police
Gritzmacher yesterday afternoon ani in
quired whether any special permits had
been Issued to the .nonunion car crews
allowing them to carry firearms. The
strikers declared that such a rumor was
In circulation and informed the chief
that their union had delegated them to see
about it.
Chief Gritzmacher stated emphatically
that no such permits had been granted
by him and furthermore none would be,
and that if any carmen were carrying
weapons, whether union men or not, they
were doing so in violation of the law
and were liable to arrest.
The union men declared that they had
no intention of carrying arms, but
thought if the employes of the company
had been granted permits they were en
titled to the same privilege. They went
away assuring the chief they would not
resort to violence in any manner and
that none of the strikers would carry
weapons.
Salem Linemen Xot In Sympathy.
SALEM. Or, Dec. 10. (Special.) Elec
tric linemen In Salem say they are not
members of any union, that they have
taken no interest in the talk of a sym
pathetic strike in Portland and that there
are no negotiations on foot between them
and Portland linemen with that end in
view.
HOUGHTON HALTED BY SHOT

circles as "Chick" Houghton, was ar

streets by Patrolman Bales and was
locked up on a. charge of being out

Bales has noticed Houghton and an

bring Houghton to a halt. Patrolman '
PhllliDS heard the shot of his brother
officer, but was unable to find Murray.
Captain Bailey isued orders to the
officers on the different beats to look
out for Murray and to bring him to
