THE MORNING OREGONIAN, 3IONDAT, APRIL 1, 1907. HEARST THE REAL Indications Point to the Election of Busse. REBUKE TO YELLOW EDITOR Windy City People Don't Like New York Methods. TRACTION FIGHT WILL END Afnnlclpal Ownership Now Will Mean Long-Drawn-Out Figlit in Courts Citizens Anxious for Better Service Now. r Chicago will "hold it municipal election on Tuesday. The Issue be tween Fred A. Busse, the present postmaster, and Republican candi date for Mayor, and Mayor Edward F. Dunne, Democratic candidate for re-election. Is complicated by a ref erendum on the traction question. The traction ordinance which wae recently paused by the City Council and vetoed by Mayor Dunne, pro vides for the Issue of 20-year fran chises, but stipulates that the city shall have the right to purchase on giving notice of such Intention. The ordinance Is to become effective im mediately after It has been In dorsed by public referendum. The Republicans favor the adoption of the ordinance, whlje the Democrats op pose such Indorsement and advocate assertion of the city's rights of emi nent domain, the condemnation of the streetcar property and munici pal ownership. The campaign has been a heated one. CHICAGO. March 31. If the surface in dications be not deceptive, Fred A. Busse, Republican candidate, will be elected Tuesday, the first four-year Mayor of Chicago over Mayor Wdward F. Dunne. Granting that this will be the result of the voting, it will mean that the people of Chicago, while holding to the principle of ultimate municipal ownership of the streetcar system, have, after two years nf futile hope, given up the idea of "im mediate ownership." Mayor Dunne's defeat will be a popular protest agnlnst several features of his administration, but the traction Issue is the dominant one in the campaign and on that he is to stand or fall. He was elect ed two years ago by a plurality of 25.000 votes over John Maynard Harlan on a platform calling for immediate municipal ownership. The result was Interesting to the country at large because it was the first time a big American city had gone on record at the polls on that Issue Odds High at 10 to 7. The betting 'for ten days has been strongly In favor of Mr Busse, the odds running 6 to 4 and 10 to 7. Some of the ardent admirers of Mayor Dunne have placed even money that he will be elected, but such wagers are for small amounts. On the other hand, many of Busse's close friends are giving large odds. It is prob Hble that $600,000 has been wagered In one way or another. The defeat of Mayor Dunnewill mean that the people of Chicago resent the interference of William Randolph Hearst in the campaign and in the administration of the city's affairs. It was the Hearst influence and policy that defeated the Democratic candidates on the county ticket last Fall. It the temper of the people generally be noi misjudged at this time, the resentment against Hearst Is to be carried to the ballot box. In voting against the New York editor, electors will have to vate against Dunne, and therein lies, next to the traction issue, the greatest menace to the Dunne candidacy- Will Rebuke Hearst. Hearst came here ten days ago with Mr. Brisbane and a retinue of cartoon ists, reporters and editorial writers and took personal charge of the campaign. His policy has expressed Itself, not so much in favor of Dunne as against Busse. The Hearst papers have dissem inated the most ridiculous stories about what Busse Intends to do if he is elected. The expression "ridiculous stories" is not used in any partisan spirit. It is believed that even Mayor Dunne secretly repu diates the printed report that Busse, If elected, intends to appoint a former pen itentiary convict as Chief of Police of the city. This is merely one illustration of the absurd campaign material Hearst has teen using. While Mr. Busse lay almost helpless at his home as the result of In juries sustained In a railroad wreck, the Hearst papers attacked him personally In a way that the conservative element of the Dunne following could not indorse. In addition to voting for candidates, the people are to approve or reject the trac tion ordinances passed by overwhelming vote of the City Council several weeks ago. These ordinances. Instead of being for "Immediate municipal ownership" which Is an impossibility are for "im mediate settlement of the traction ques tion" to the extent and end that the people may not have to watt for years for a decent streetcar service. Plans for Immediate Relief. . In brief, these ordinances there are two of them identical In the essential principles, applying to two different com paniesprovide for operation of the street cars by existing traction compa nies under strict supervision of the city authorities. Fifty-five per cent of the net earnings of ike companies go to the city and the municipality reserves the right to buy the property at any time upon six months notice. The purchase price for the properties of the two com panies is not to exceed $50,000,000 plus any expenditures to which the companies are put in reconstructing the lines and pro viding new equipment for a first-class service. Under the terms of the ordinances the companies are to commence the work 6f rehabilitation as soon as the measures are approved by the people at the polls and carry It on to completion as quickly as possible, There are many other feat ures of the ordinances, but all of them, are simply to safeguard the city in Its two main aims to get good service in the shortest possible time and to hold in reserve the right to bring about munici pal ownership when the people say the word. AH the work of reconstruction is to be under the supervision of a board of engineers, one member of which is to be named by the mayor, another by the companies, and the third Is to be Bion J. Arnold, an acknowledged expert on lo cal traction matters. All sorts of pre cautions are taken to compel the trac tion companies to live up. to the letter of the contract with the city. Matter Rests With People. The ordinance funs for 20 years and if the city has not then bought the lines. it can name any company to buy them on the same terms allowed to the city no bonus. If approved at the polls the meas ures are in force as soon as they are for mally approved by the interested compa nies, the Chicago City Railway having 60 ays and the Chicago Railway Company 120 days to accept. If not approved by either the people or the companies, the ordinances fall entirely just as If they had never been passed. Inasmuch as representatives of the companies acted In concert with the city authorities in agreeing upon the provi sions of the ordinances, it seems hardly probably the companies will refuse to accept them. Such refusal would be a breaking of faith so flagrant that it would react on the companies with disas trous consequences In all probability. The Democratic platform is against the ordinances on the ground that they do not adequately guard the interests of the city or the people who use the cars. It is held that they menace municipal own ership, and give the traction companies a power that Bhould not be entrusted to them. The platform declares against any thing that looks to an extension of fran chises to the companies and against all further negotiations with the companies. As a substitute it demands that the city at once institute lawsuis to condemn the street railway lines, take them over at a price agreed upon by court sanction and proceed to build a municipal system of roads under the provisions of the Mueller law passed by the state Legisla ture two years ago. Fear Long Litigation. Mayor Dunne admits that the condem nation suits would not be brought to final issue within 18 months. Opponents of his policy insist the time would be much longer than that. Everybody con cedes that the litigation would be stub born and complicated. Whether by the condemnation process the city could pro cure the properties at less cost than Is proposed in the ordinances is a debatable question. Advocates of "immediate settlement" sav it is unlikely the companies would spend a cent for new cars or equipment pending the litigation and that, there fore, the streetcar service would grow worse every day to the detriment of the city's business interests. Republicans Stand United. The registration, after revision, shows a total of 392.432 names, against 410,009 In 1905. the lists of the latter having been swelled in the Fall of 1904 because of the presidential election. Two years ago 328,000 cast votes for Mayor. The political managers expect the vote this year will be at least 360,000. Prohibition leaders claim 12.000 votes, or two or three times that cast two years ago. The Socialists place their .support at 30,000, as compared with 23.000. Both of these parties are making harder fights than ever before, but it is improbable they will be a great er factor In general results than they were two years ago. Republican wards make the best show ing in the matter of increased registra tion. This exhibit, coupled with the fact that the oartv is united an a mayoralty contest as It has not been previously In many years, strengthens the Republican leaders In their claim of victory next Tuesday. There is no concerted opposi tion to Busse anywhere along the party lines. The Legislature, strongly Repub lican, Is deferring action on the new char ter for Chicago until after the election a fact that is likely to improve the chances of Busse. Hearst Will Leave Bad Taste. Party lines will be more closely ad hered to than two years ago, but Mayor Dunne is destined to lose many votes in his party because of his traction atti tude, his school policy and especially be cause of the domination of Hearst in the campaign. Others hold that he Gas not taken the right course in the regulation of vice, but that issue is an indefinite one as between the two leading candidates. Questions of business policy and adminis trative firmness are therefore paramount. On them the battle will be lost and won. The campaign has been unusually hot, hundreds of meetings daily and tons of "literature'" being features. Dunne is supported by- the Hearst papers alone. CLEVELAND IS GRATEFUL Acknowledges Through Press Mess ages of Congratulation. PRINCETON. N. J., March 31 Ex President Grover Cleveland has furnished the following to the newspapers and re quested Its publication: 4It seems to be impossible for me to ac knowledge, except through the press of the country, the generosity and kindly consideration of my countrymen, which have been made manifest by congratula tory messages and newspaper comment on the occasion of my 70th birthday. These have deeply touched me, and In the book of grateful recollection they are written where every remaining day of my life I can turn a page and read them" IF LESS PAY, WILL STRIKE Railroads Want to Reduce Wages to Bit Eight-Hour Law. WHEELING. W. Va., March 31. Tele eraph operators in West Virginia threat en to strike if their wages are reduced when the new eight-hour law, enacted by the recent Legislature, goes into effect. The railroad companies have given notice that there will be a proportionate reduc tion in wages as soon as the act takes effect. May 9.

NO COMFORT IN BRAZIL Russia Colonists Make Complaint to Home Government. RIGA. Russia, March 31. The Governor-General of the Baltic Provinces, Lieutenan t-General Moeller-Sakhomaky, has received from Russian colonists in Frazil a letter complaining of the diffi cult position of the colonists and the un fair treatment of them by Brazilians, and asking him to prohibt emigration to the South American Republic. Riga is the starting point of a large stream of emi grants to Brazil. TO DIVIDE ALL SWAG Ruef and Schmitz Were Each to Give the Other Half of His Spoils. HELD OUT ON EACH OTHER Not All of the Slayor's Graft Blind Has Been Located Still Great er Sensations Are Prom ised by Grand Jury. SAX FRANCISCO. March 31. (Spe cial.) It was. positively established to day that a solemn agreement has existed between Mayor Schmitz and Abe Ruef to divide their boodle. When Schmitz squeezed a dollar from an unsavory re sort 50 cents went to Ruef. and when Ruef shook down a corporation for $200,- 000. $100,000 went to Schmitz. It has been established that of the $1300 a month that the Pacific States Telephone and Tele graph Company paid to Ruef, $600 a month went to the. Mayor. That this partnership for the purpose of boodle did not always run harmonious ly is also known. The two conspirators held out on each other on various occa sions. It appears, however, that Ruef held out on Schmitz oftener than the Mayor did on him. While $1,000,000 of Ruef's boodle money has been traced the prosecution has been able to locate only $750,000 of the Mayor's loot. Ruef Will Talk Later. Wrhen Ruef was asked directly today if he did not receive $1200 monthly from the Pacific States Company, he refused to give a definite answer. "I will neither affirm nor deny that," he said. At some time in the future I may have something to say." This is a characteristic speech of the captive boss. He is always going to have something to say later. Another hard-luck story has leaked out from the grand jury confessional. It is that of Supervisor Mamlock. In his confession Mamlock told how he had placed $8500 of his boodle money in a tin can which he kept in his home. At the time of the fire all was cremated, can and currency. Mamlock upon taking his seat on the Board of Supervisors was penniless. After he had served for 10 months he blossomed out as the owner of 11 automobiles. Sensations Yet to Come. From the District Attorney's office carne the information today that the revelations which would attend the in vestigation into the trolley and gas brib ery deals would eclipse in point of sen sationalism anything yet told to the grand jury. A meeting of all attorneys connected with the prosecution will be held tomor row, at which plans for the week will be decided upon. A double bill will run through the week according to present plans. The sessions of the grand jury will continue and the trial of Ruef in the French restaurant cases will occupy the boards. From Toledo, O., came the news by wire tonight that the Chief of Police had been unable to locate Abram K. Detwilet, against whom 13 indictments have been returned for bribing supvervisors. STARCH OUT OF SANDERS General Wheaton Rebukes Insolent "Hero" of Brownsville Riot. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 28. The Brownsville inves tigation that is being conducted by the Senate committee on military affairs Is pretty much of a farce. Few Senators have any interest in the inquiry and very little attention is being paid to the tes timony. For all practical purposes, the Brownsville incident is closed; nothing remains except a little political capital for Senator Foraker. who is responsible for the present investigation. Mr. Fora ker Is on hand every day; he takes a hand in the examination of each witness, and is doing what he can to revive Inter est in a dead sensation, but it is uphill work. So far as the public is concerned, in terst in the Brownsville affair died out when the Senate refused to reverse the action of the President. But the mem bers of the colored regiment who have been hanging around Washington wait ing to be called as witnesses have found the proceedings both interesting and profitable. Many of the colored men have been living In Washington for six weeks at Government expense, with nothing to do but loaf around the corridors of the Capitol during the hours the committee is in session. Some of them have been swelled up by the notoriety they have at tained since their discharge, and the more Important figures among them have lately displayed signs of arrogance. Mingo Sanders, whose case was taken up by Mr. Foraker during the debate In the Senate and who was held up to the gaze of the country as an ill-treated hero, contracted a severe case of swelled head. Sanders would strut around the Capitol with a cigar jammed In the corner of his mouth at an angle of 45 degrees, and would have the airs of a man of Impor tance. He was "doing the martyr act" at all hours of the day. One day an aged gentleman, who had spent considerable time In the military committee, came out In the corridor, walked over to where a. dozen or more of the discharged soldiers were sitting and stopping in front of Sanders, asked: "Is this Mingo Sanders?" Sanders, who was leaning back against the wall, with the ever-present cigar tilt ed at the customary angle, looked over the old gentleman for a minute and then replied haughtily: "Yep, I'se the nigger they's all talkln" about." "Well. Mingo, you have changed a great deal since I saw you last," said the old 'gentleman. "Well. Ise in ae iimetigm now, answered Sanders. "You don't remember me as well as I remember you," said the gentleman. "I'm General Wheaton." In an Instant Sanders changed. Drop ping his cigar from his mouth, he quickly assumed an erect attitude, brought his hand to his cap and saluted his former commanding officer. General Wheaton re turned the salute and. as he walked away, told Sanders his soldierly bearing was more becoming than his latter-day man ners. After that incident, Sanders has been les offensive in his conduct around Washington. KISER FOR SCENIC PHOTOS. Lobby Imperial Hotel.
