Old Guard and Reformers in
. Local Democracy Alike
Covet Honor.
WHY MAYOR WAS SLIGHTED
Kryan Clnb Did Not Invite Dr. Lane
to Act on Committee Because He
Openly Snubbed Body, Say
George L. Hutchln.
Oorge L. Hutohin, president of the
fBrya.n Hub, declares that the committee
from his organization Is the one real
committee to receive "William J. Bryan
vhen he arrives In Portland next Tues-
day. Mr. Hutchln does not consider the
other committees seriously. Notwithstanding-
his confidence, Mr. Hutchln
seems . doomed to disappointment at the
outset, for It la understood that Mr.
Bryan has already promised D. M. Wat
son, who represents the reform element
of the local Democracy, that he will
place himself In Mr. Watsoh's hands.
Mr. Hutchln and his friends believe
that Bryan will recognize their com
mittee. They have a bundle of corres
pondence between the officers of the
Bryan Club and the distinguished Ne
braskan, and one of the letters Bryan
says he would be dellirhted to aecerjt an
invitation to a banquet planned by the
ciritaniBation it ne oouia possibly ar-
arrange It.
Mr. Hutchin says that the reason Mayor
Ine was not appointed on the reception
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i , ij oi me nryHii uiub was be
cause he boldly snubbed the organiza
tion when It was first organized. Mayor
Iane was appointed a member of the
' reoeptlon committee of the Toung Men
"I know of no trouble In the Demo
cratic ranks." said Mr. Hutchln yester
day. "Ours Is the reception committee
and" if others desire to assist us In the
reception of Mr. Bryan we shall be
pleased to have them. But as a reception
committee we have the prior rights.
Mayor Snubs Bryan Club.
"Last Summer the State Democratic
Hub was organized in this city with a
membership of 2O0. A banquet waa given
at Watson's restaurant. Mayor Lane
was invited to deliver an address. His
Honor came to the front door, took a
look in and then went away. Evidently
the affair did not strike him favorably.
The Bryan Club did not wish a second
slight and did not Invite Mayor Lane to
become a member of the Bryan recep
tion committee. But now that he seems
anxious in the matter the Bryan Club
Kladly welcomes him to Its assistance In
honoring the greatest American citizen.
"George H. Thomas wag asked officially
as chairman of the County Democratic
-ommittee to attend the banquet given
by the Bryan Club and to make a speech.
In a caustic letter In which he took
Democrat to task for defeating his
candidates he grew eloquent on the sub
ject of harmony and did not attend the
banquet. The club is therefore surprised
that Mr. Thomas at this time should be-
come "T tntnely Interested. He Is
wplrnmfvl heartily to the assistance of
the Bryan Club. i
"Many months ago the Bryan Club
took up the matter of brinRinpr Mr. Bryan
to the pity. When it wns learned- that
he would sneak here under the auspices
of the Y. M. C. A. a banquet for Mr.
Bryan was planned by the club bearing
his name and he accepted the courtesy
provided It did. not conflict with. fti con
tract with the lyceum bureau. A mild
protest from that source caused elimina
tion of the banquet.
"The Bryan Club does not wish to
monopolize the welcome and courtesies
that will be showered upon our dis
tinguished guePt. At a recent meeting
of the Bryan Club reception committee it
wan voted to ask and ursre every iDemo
cratic organization in the city to come
forward and assist in the reception of Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan. And every Democrat
whether a member of any Democratic or
frwn izat Jon Is ureod to come forward to
welcome the Rreat Commoner. Every-
body is "Invited to greet Mr, and Mrs.
Hrynn. Republicans, Socialists and all
others."
Jjemonacles Steal a March.
Mr. HuMiin's faction lost to the. other
side in the initial skirmish of the habeas
corpus tussle That is to say members
of the- reform element, who have been
duhbed the "seltzer lemonades," will
have the Nobraskan In custody -Turing
his stay, with the possible exception of
m few hours when the Old Guard, known
as the "stralKht-itps," expect, to take
him over to the Elks' Club for a period
' of mild diversion.
The "lemonadM" won when 15. M. Wat
son was in Uncoln. just after the return
of Mr. Bryan from his globe-trotting
tour. He exacted a promise that when
Mr. Bryan came West he should have
the honor of taking the Nebraska n in
hand. The bargain was struck, and al
though the "straight-ups have appointed
their reception committee with creden
tials from the Bryan Club, the actual
keeping of the standard bearer will be to
the Rlory of the "lemonades.'
Mr. Watson belongs to the "seltzer lem-
onados" It waa he who superintended
the big- spread in his own restaurant one
nigh t last Summer. in honor of Mr.
Bryan, when the circumambient atmos-
phere W3S so tropical that the BidewaiKs
almost cracked with the heat, and yet
the parched throats of -the assembled
brethren taeited nothing- stronger and
more thirst-quenching than "orange-ade."
Hence the relation of host and guest
betwixt Messrs. Watson and Bryan Is a
"feljser lemonade" triumph and more" a
the misery where lemonade doesn't go.

MISS FLEEING BURGLAR
Special Policeman and Citizen Shoot
Badly anil oftenl
An attempt to loot the residence ot Pro
fessor Justus Burnham, principal of the
Couch School, early yesterday morning
resulted in a volley of pistol bullets being-
flred at a fleeing; burglar by Special
Policeman Joe Fltzsimmons and Jack
Shields, a citizen. At about 1 o'clock a
telephone message to Captain of Police
Bailey announced that a man was at
tempting; to break: into the Bumham resi-
dence, and Special Officer Fltzsimmons
was called up by telephone and ordered to
Investigate. The special waa the only
officer within ca.ll of the station at the
time. In company with Shields, Fltz-
simmona hurried to Seventeenth and
Kearney street. On their arrival they no
ticed nothing: wrong; and entered the
house to talk with Professor Burnham.
While the officer was being Informed that
a man had been seen attempting- to cut
out a pane of g-Iasa jn A basement door, a
servant srlrl from a nelghbqring resi
dence rushed Into the Burnham home and
announced that she had just seen a man
leave the yard and run down Seventeenth,
street.
Fltssimmons ran into the street, fbl-
lowed by Shields, and took the direction
said to have been taken by the house
breaker. The arc llg-ht at the croner of
Seventeenth and Kearney was not burn
ing and it was several seconds before the
officer caught sight of the burglar. The
latter had crossed Seventeenth street and
was running In the shadow of the Couch
School when sighted by the special, who
immediately called upon him to halt. The
command was not obeyed, whereupon
Fltzsimmons opened fire.
Two shots were sent after the fugitive
by the officer, but the latter only ran the
faster. As he reached Lovejoy street the
man again crossed the street and turned
toward Sixteenth. As he did this another
shot was fired by the pursuing officer, and
Shields coming up at the moment In
quired If the fleeing man was the robber.
On belnir answered in the affirmative, he
also opened fire. So far as known none of
the shots reached their mark and the
burglar made good his escape.
The special officer describes the burglar
as a loner-lesrsed younir man wearing- a
short, tlsrht-nttinsr llg-ht coat. Fltzsimmons
is a snort man ana was much Impressed
by the superior speed of the burglar.
Professor Burnham reports that the man
did not succeed In graining; entrance to his
bouse.

LEGISLATORS WHO FELL. A PREY
Senator Beach Txtokinir for Xote for
t-ttate l'rinter Four Years Heave.
200-a-month job of Chief of Police, has
risen ag;ain, now - that the City Council
seems to be forcing Gritzmacher, acting
chief, out of that office, by refusing him
the J2C0 and allowing him only J125 a
month, the salary of a captain of police,
the position which the law recognizes as
hJs.
Springing up on all sides are aspirants
for the 200 job. for it seems unlikely
that Lane will appoint Gritzmacher to
the place, or that Ciritzmacher would
want it. for he would have tn release his
hold on the $125 job of captain and
misrhfc not regain that sure position se
cured to him by d-vll service law of the
charter, Lane's present term will last
only five months more, and as his re
election is an uncertainty, Gitzmacher
probably will not desire to exchange for
it his present sure Job. at least such la
the gossip of Democratic brethren.
Alienated Ills Followers.
Lane alienated numbers of his Demo
cratic compatriots on becoming Mayor
In July, 1905, by not appointing a chief
out of the ranks of his Democratic fol
lowers. While Gritzmacher is nominally
a Democrat, the faithful allege that he
has not been a stanch member of his
party and that the iron-clad patriots do
not recof-nize him as one of them. Lane
appointed Gritzmacher acting chief, thus
allowing him to retain his old joh of
captain, while in fact holding that of
chief. Soon thereafter Patrick Bruin
was appointed Inspector of i olic and
chief ot the detective squad, a position
under civil service, but secured for him,
evidently, by the Mayor's influence with
the Oivil Service Commission. before
which Bruin took: his examinations. ' A
Btorm ensued, but Bruin held on and
Mayor Lane backed him up.
But not long; ano the Circuit Court
held that Bruin's appointment had been
made In violation of civil service regu-
latlons. Pursuant to this decision the
Council has refosed to appropriate money
this year for Bruin's salary of S12S a
month, and It seems tbat Bruin will have
to serve for nothing or get off the force.
Xa-st Chance to Make Peace.
"Sore" at Lane for his refusal to
choose a chief from the "old guard or
the faithful, numbers of Lane's com
patriots have been nursing- their feelingm.
threatening- to give them vent in the next
Democratic primaries and the next city
election, when. Lane will be a candidate
agan. Now they are saying that Lane
has a last chance to make peace with
them. One of the leading aspirants 18
months ago was John Lamont, who is
now boomed for the job. Lamont and his
followers have not been on the best of
terms with the Mayor, but have been
conceallnig; their feelings. Others talked
of for the place are 31. J. Clohessy, Jo-
seph F. Rellly, Dave Houston, J. B.
Ryan. John Van Zante. E. J. Jeffrey,
John Burgard. tt. "W. Parker. O. B. "Wll
1 ta.mt, George Lewis. El Versteg, George)
H. Thomas, a Freeman and a host of
others.
Manning i n the Backgronnd.
The present situation has Important
bearing on the next Democratic primaries.
for if Lane should not make peace with
bis Democratic brethren, they will line
up behind another candidate for Mayor,
who will probably be John Manning, in
this event Lane might not enter the
Democratic primaries, and Instead mie;ht
run Independent.
The situation in the police station Is an
Interesting one, If for no other reason
than that Gritzmacher and Bruin appear
about crowded out. Between the two
has existed, a rivalry, approaching close
to jealousy. Bruin's authority has been
independent and actually superior to that
of his nominal chief, and Gritzmacher
has held the place of a figurehead in
many respects.

PLANS AN, IMPROVEMENT
H. 0. Stickney May Build Apart-
ment House on Penojer Block.
If the option Is closed which H. 0.
Stlckney holds' for the lease of the
IVnnoyer block it will be Improved
with an apartment house larger and
finer than anything: now In the city.
Mr. Stickney's option will not expire
until May 1. and be is present negotiat
ing financial backing for the enterprise
which he has in hand. He feels that
success is probable, and that Portland
will gain an Improvement which will be
a credit to the city.
The Pcnnoyer block Is bounded by
Morrison, Alder, West Park and Tenth
streets. Lying; near the business sec
tion of the city, it Is an ideal site for
a costly apartment house. There is at
present a demand for more buildings
of this character and there Is on foot
a movement to erect other structures
of this class besides the one proposed
by Mr. StlcKney.
"It is too early for me to say whether
the option which I hold upon the Pan-
oyer property will be closed." said Mr.
Stlckney. "but I thins: that the chances
are very- favorable. It is a large
project and'one that takes time to work
out. but there is certainly a demand In
Portland for just such a building.
"If constructed this will be by far
the largest and most costly apartment
house in the city. Tn this particular
Portland is behind other cities of equal
or less population. Tah Spokane, for
Instance, p-tilch la much emailed than
Portland, and yet has several excellent
apartment houses. That there is the
same demand here is shown by the fact
that I have already received many ap-
plications from those who wish to be-
come tenants of the building If it is
erected."
Lents Fire Quickly Extinguished.
By the presence of mind of Miss Wiley,
daughter of a Lents real estate dealer,
and the prompt response of the volunteer

Tr. E. A. Pierce, of the open-air sani
tarium at Mllwaukie, spoke to the Moth-
erg and Teachers' Club, of Brooklyn, on
the subjectTuberculosis and Its Cure,"
at Its last meeting. He talked instruct
ively to the mothers, and in words that
were understood. He first took up the
different varieties of the disease, saying
in part:
"The disease is caused by the Intro-
"Follow Mr Lead." Raid Senator Js'ot-

bacillus, a small vegetable organism,
which appears in tuberculous masses
and is contained In the sputum In
countless numbers. This germ, which Is
the active agent. Is capable of so fine
division, when dried, that It is taken up
by the air and deposited on window
ledges, upholstery, etc., to be stirred
attain into activity by air currents, or
by dry dustinir.
"Modes of dissemination are through
abrasions of the skin or mucous mem-
branes. by Introduction Into the Intes

the lungs.
"Anything: that lowers the vitality so
that the resistive power of the patient
Is below the normal standard acts as a
contributory cause. The offspring of
diseased or feeble parents inherit a
general lack of resistive power, and
the more readily fail prey to disease.
Jt is a B;enerally accepted fact that con
sumption is not Inherited; but instead,
a weakened resistive power is conveyed
to the offspring, rendering- them liable
to become easily infected by the germ.
Cleanliness Is Important.
"From the standpoint of those that
are healthy, absolute cleanliness should
be urged. Children should be allowed
plenty of fresh air and outdoor exer
cise at all times. Their sleeping-rooms
should be well lighted and ventilated.
Their clothing should be warm, but not
excessive chest protectors and addi
tional wraps should be discouraged.
Any departure from perfect health
should at once receive the attention of
the physician. Catarrh, throat trouble
and mouth breathing: should be cor
rected. Following all illnesses, the fam-
ily physician should be consulted until
the patient nas ent Irel y recovered. The
teeth and eyes should be carefully
watched for any defects. Food should
be plain and wholesome. Children
should be taught to avoid the perni
cious habit of spitting or puttiHK pen
cils, money or toys Into the mouth, and
not to bite from the same apple with
others, or to chew gum used by other
children, and tbat infection may often
be conveyed by these means.
"Only that amount of school work
should be allowed that can he per

"Nature In her most bountiful mood
has enuowed us with a climate where
children can, with perfect safety, sleep
with the windows wide open at all
times of the year, where the weather Is
never too severe for them to enjoy
their hours of recreation In the open
air. The danger of disease would be
greatly lessened by taking advantage
of these opportunities.
"The experience of the Portland open
air sanitarium during the past two
years amply justlfles the statement that
consumption can in a very large per-
centage of cases be cured if taken In
Its early stage. The greatest good of
sanitariums, however. Is in educating
the public how to live so as to be able
to prevent the disease.

" Women's delicate nerve organ-
ism suffers much from worry, ex
citement, over-work. Headache,
nervousness, backache, stomach
trouble, and general debility are
the natural result. For all such
Dr. Miles' Nervine will be found
to be a splendid nerve tonic. It
soothes the nerves, and brings re
freshing body-building sleep and
rest.
"I have been extremely nervous for
gome years-Dr. Miles' Nervine has done
me more good than any medicine I have
vr taken. I have usod it whenever I
needed it and it always quieted my
nerves, and strengthened me so that I
feel first rate."
