SOME DEFEATED ONES, TOO Managers of Republican Campaign Will Pay No Attention to Mon tague's Challenge for Debate Between Lane and Devlin. Republican loaders and the official of the Union Club are making great prep arations for the big opening rally of the campaign which is to be held tonight at th BelHng-Hirsch hall. All the candi dates who were nominated at the recent John L. Wendorf. L; ' . . .. V " '. - V ' " : l . ,.r i-yn sn.-n3 Chief of Police Urltzmachr is perfe cflng plans for Improving the department, and especially for policing the East Side in a iranner much more worthy of that large district ne't. Five new ee-geants, appointed hy him last Saturday night, will probably go on duty In their new position about. May 25, when the annual Inspection will be held. At that time the entire force will he reviewed by Mayor Lane and subordinates. Ins-tead of having but one patrol sergeant, there will be !x. The East Portland district will not have a police station for a while, but it will be policed In a style never before attempted. More patrolmen will be on duty there on the three ihift. and each shift wiH be In 'charge of a patrol sergeant. Similar conditions will prevail on the West Side. Sergeanta Colts and Robson will be attached to the day relief, under command at Captain Moore; Sergeant Cole and Hogeboom will be on duty with the first relief, under command of Captain Slaver, and Sergeant Wendorf and Johnson- will be assigned to the second relief, commanded by Captain Bailey. On each, relief there will be a sergeant in the field on the East Sid and the "West Side. Inasmuch as arrangements are not yet complete for the establishing of the East Side station, business will be. handled on both sides of the river from headquarters, tender the new plans, with the sergeants and IT additional patrolmen, the size of the beats will be cut down and' far better protection and better police work along all Mnes Is promised. primaries have been invited to attend the Fathering1 nnd make short addresses. "What the leaders are counting on most is the presence of those candidates who were not succpfsf ul. They also will be requested to speak, and in addition to this long list of speakers County Judge Webster and "W". M. Cake will speak for party harmony. A special effort will be made by the campaign committee to have all the de feated candidates present, and letters have been sent inviting them to attend the meeting. Whether they will all ap pear and engage In the big love feast that is being prepared by the officials of the L'nion Republican Club, Is a matter of conjecture. It Is safe to pre . dirt, however, that not all those who drew a lemon at the primaries will be on hand. The time for the wound to heal has been too short, but it is the belief of Chairman Cake and Secretary Sherwood that all but one or two of those who did not receive the nomination will attend the meeting and renew their pledges of supporting the entire Republi can ticket. Peril n to Talk on Mount Tabor.. Yesterday Chairman Cake and Secre tary Sherwood completed arrangements for holding two other meetings. Because of a request from the Republican voters of the Eight Ward, especially those living In the vaclnity of Mount Tafcor, a big political meeting has been set for Thurs day night. Thomas C. Devlin, the party nominee for Mayor will be the principal speaker at the Mount Tabor meeting. A number of the other candidates will also speak. The voters of the First and Sixth .'Wards have also put in an application for a meeting. This meeting will be held May 22, and it will be under the auspices of the South Portland Republican Club, an organisation that did very important ' work during the primary campaign. It -is not the purpose of the campaign com mittee to arrange for political meetings unless surh meetings are requested, by the voters living in the section of the) city where a meeting is thought, to be necessary in order to rouse enthusiasm. So far the only Republican candidate who has openely declared that he will 1 run as an Independent candidate for , Councilman-at-Iarge. is Dr. I M. Darts. Dr. Davis announced himself as one of the Republican candidates for Council-man-at-LArge before the primaries. His 'petition was circulated, but when it was turned in. some of the names on the petition were found to have been irregular and the petition was thrown out. Just 'about this time Dr. Davis was called to 'Sonora. Mexico, on account of illness of a relative and he had to leave his cam I palgn In the hands of others. He feels keenly disappointed because hfs petition was thrown out and that he did not have ia run for the $50 that he paid for having his petition circulated, so now he will start at once circulating an independent ; ticket. ; Challenge for Joint Pebate, ( R. W. Montague, chairman of Mayor ( Harry Lane's campaign yesterday .sent a challenge to Chairman Cake of the Re I publican campaign committee, for a joint ; debate between Mayor Lane and Mr. f Devlin. No action will be taken on the letter from Chairman Montague until , there is a meeting of the executive com ' mittee and this will not be held, until "Wednesday or Thursday. It is almost sure that nothing will come of the chal lenge. At the Republican headquarters, there is a strong sentiment against any uch an action, but the officials will not express themselves, for it is their wish that action be taken on Mr. Montagues letter by the entire executive committee. In the opinion of some of the party leaders, the present age is not of poli tical debates. It was all right, they say In the days when there were but few newspapers and there was no other means of reaching the voters. In his letter to Chairman Cake. Chair man Montague explains hfs reason for sending the challenge and says that such meetings between the two candidates for Mayor would be of benefit to the voters. By such debates, chairman Montague argues fair minded citizens could decide for themselves which of the two candidates they should cast their votes for. Chairman Montague's letter follows: Honorable W. M. Caka. Chairman Repub lican Cltjr CantraJ Committee, Iear Sir The electors of thl city r now enterin upon a. political campaign, the result of whien will profoundly affect the welfare of erery citizen. I think you will agree with me that the only rightful object of such a campaign in an intelligent and enlightened democracy like oura. Is to give the votere the best possible opportunity to determine, soberly, candidly and reasonably how their votes should be cast, and this without resoit to Improper, secret or unjust influences. Tou will agree with me too, I am sure, that It Is your duty and mine to conduct this campaign, as far as the conduct of It devolves upon tu, with these ends and none other In view. Now It Is evident that In no way, could a better opportunity be afforded fair mmded men to decide for themselves NOTICE TO VOTERS! If you have not already registered, an opportunity will be given you, at the County Clerk's office today until midnight, and tomorrow until S o'clock P. M. You nave two days In which to register. There will be no excuse for you not voting in the coming elections.

Ever since the Lincoln-Douglas debates It has been admitted that no test can better search out the weak places in any man or any cause and bring out the very right of FIVE NEW POLICE SERGEANTS WILL ASSUME DUTIES J, , : Braet Johnson. the matter, and even now a very distin guished Republican and Democrat are en gaged in such a debate in print. Therefore, with that abiding faith in the power and will of th people to decide right what is fairly placed before them, which is a fundamental article in the creed of my party, and of which that greatest man of yours, whom I mentioned above, was so noble an example, I respectfully ask your consent to a series of Joint public meetings between Mr. Devlin and Dr. Lane, and beg that in person r by committee you will meet with us at such time and place as you may designate to arrange the details. An early answer will oblige. TOLD TO HOLD THEIR TOXGtES Policemen Must Keep Political Opin ions to Themselves. 9 Politics Beems to be a mighty in teresting theme to policemen, and the temptation to discuss the city campaign from one side or another is so strong, it would appear, that it is almost irre sistible. That this is true seems to be shown by the fact that Chief Gritz macher was obliged yesterday, to dig down In his pigeonholes and rake out an old order issued several weeks ago warning the members of the force to maintain strict silence regarding can didates or any phase of the "game." Chief Oritzmacher ordered that the captains again read the order to tne patrolmen, and to add that violations have been reported to him, and to em phasize that immediate trouble will occur in any future cases arising out of disregard for the order. Captain Slover read the order and the subjoined warning to the members of the first relief, and addressed the officers of his command on his own accord, saying that he had received many complaints of violations of the order relative to politics. "Po'icemen must- not talk poliMcs with anyone." said Captain Stover. "Some of the officers appear -to think that the order is of no consequence, and that they can disregard it without trouble. I will say, however, that fu ture violations will be punished, as I will not hesitate to file charges against officers of this relief found violating the order." The most flagrant case reported to Chief Oritzmacher as to a violation of the order was that wherein Muntpical Judge Cameron accused Patrolman B. F. Smith of denouncing bis candidacy for re-eloction to the position. Judge Cameron declared that Smith had been making an open fight against him, and asked Chief Grltzmacher to investigate.

Rowe and Joe Day on a trip of several days to Collins Hot Springs, starting today. Captain J. A.

Parrish against Dr. W. H. Davis, of Albany, which was to have been tried before Judge Frazer in the Circuit Court yesterday, ended in a settlement by the attorneys at the conclusion of Mrs. Parrlsh's testimony and hotly con ducted cross-examination. Mrs. Parrish agreed to accept $100 In full adjust ment of the suit to secure the payment of $323 she alleged to be due her for the support and care of Mrs. Dora Davis, the divorced wife of the defend ant, up to the time of her death on May 14. 1905. Mrs. Parrish said on the stand that a verbal contnet had been made be tween Dr. Davis and herself, by which she whs to take care of Mrs. Davis, whom he had divorced, and pay Mrs. Parrish $30 a month. Instead of carry ing out this agreement, Mrs. Parrish testified. Dr. Davis sent the money to Mrs. Davis, on the understanding she would stay away from. Albany, where he is a practicing physician, and that Mrs. Davis would get the checks cashed and spent all of the money for liquor. Mrs. Parrish lives at 211 Park street. "Mrs. Davis came to me." said Mrs. Parrish, and asked me to take her in and care for her. I consulted with her former husband. Dr. Davis, and he agreed to contribute $30 a. month to wards her support, but all I received was $16 from the sale of some old furniture that belonged to her."

Dr. Davis refused to pay. She employed other physicians, and she declares she paid them various amounts, which had never been repaid. . Federal Indictment Probable Today.

QUARTER - BLOCK WANTED Garbage Crematory Location t'nset ' tied Harbormaster Allowed . a Launch and Money Is Given for Fire-Alarm System. All property-owners who think they have suitable sites for the proposed new City Jail will be given an opportunity to submit their prices to the Council. At the meeting of the ways and means com mittee yesterday afternoon it was voted to advertise for bids for a period of one week. Each offer must be of a quarter block as that Is the nice of the property it Is proposed to purchase. Some weeks ago the ways and means committee obtained an option on a piece W. JC Robson. of property at West Park and Flanders streets. The property was refused although the price was lower then than it can now be purchased for. It is now decided to let all owners have an equal chance to sell realty to the city. If any one of the bids is satisfactory to the committee it will be recommended to the Council. The plan is to sell the present property at Second and Oak, streets and let the pro ceeds go towards erecting the new build ing that will be used as. a jail, municipal courtroom and emergency hospital. The . committee postponed indefinitely the selection of a Bite. for the proposed new garbarge crematory. A property on the East Side had been under consldera tion, but such a protest was raised by residents of the vicinity that the plan was abandoned. A garbage crematory is such an undersirable addition to any neighborhood that the committee ex pressed its willingness to clear its hands of the entire matter. Several appropriations were reconv mended by the committee, among them one of $700 to purchase a launch for the use of the harbormaster. When Ben Biglin occupied the office he made num erous applications for a launch and since Captain Speier was appointed he has renewed this request. The committee believed that a launch would be of great service in performing the necessary work of the port and decided to allow the ex penditure. The harbormaster, also made application for a deputy, but this was not allowed. An appropriation of $1200 for the fire alarm telegraph system was allowed, and also one of $500 for the purchase of an oil sprinkler. Several sections have asked to have streets sprinkled with oil, and the city will hereafter be In a posi tion to grant such requests. The. im mediate cause of the action was the peti tion of residents on the Base Line road to have that thoroughfare oiled. BUSLNKSS ITEMS.
