At 3 A. M., Kith complete returns
from 21 precincts and Incomplete re
turns from 47 precinct., Harry liSae,
Democrat, leads Thomas C Devlin, Re
publican, for Mayor by 333 -votes.
Harry Lane's re-election as Mayor of
the City of Portland la Indicated by the
Incomplete election returns by a majority
of 600 to 1000 votes. All of the Republi
can city ticket with the exception of
Thomas C. Devlin is elected by large
majorities. M. J. Driscoll, George B.
Cellars and John Annand are elected
Oouncllmen-at-Large by large Majorities.
All of the Bepublican candidates for
Councllmen are successful with the ex
ception of Robert A. Preston in the
First Ward wbo was defeated by T. J.
Concannon.
All of the amendments to the city
charter prlvldlng for bond Issue have
carried while those providing lor the
Increase of salaries for city officials have
been decisively defeated. The economy
gns franchise has carried.
The total vote cast was 17.195. out of a
total registered vote of 25.386. showing
that 5 per cent of the total registered
vote was cast. In 1905 the total vote cast
wns 14,a&7.
Mr. Devlin showed his greatest strength
on the West Side, which lie will carry by
U0 votes if the present ratio continues to
hold for the balance of the votes to be
counted. At 3 A. M. on the West Side
tii'SO votes had been counted, or five-eighths
of the West Side vote. Devlin has a lead
of XW.
on the Kast Side with 3"00 votes
counted out of a total vote cast of 905lV
ljine has a lead of 1100. If he continues
to carry the F.ast Side in the same ratio,
l.ane will come across the Willamette
River with 2500 to 3(KX votes to the good.
Tills would wipe out Devlin's lead
of 1000 to 1200 on the west side and
give the Democratic candidate a ma
jority of 1500 to 2000. Devlin's only
ohance Is to make unexpected gains on
the west side and Lane to sustain un
expected losses on the east side.
In spite of the predictions of trouble,
because of the large amount of money
that was wagered on the outcome, the en
tire election passed off without even a
street fight. The North End went through
the election without a call for the poiice,
and for the first time In the history of a
local election that section of the city -was
closod as tight as a drum. It was easy to
see that the saloons of the North End
were closed. The flotsam and jetsam of
that part of the underworld had a chance
to enjoy their annual outing, and instead
of hanging around accustomed haunts, the
.riff-raff sought the green grass and the
sun of the parks in front of the Custom
House.
Down town the crowd remained until 1
o'clock. At the corner of Sixth and
Washington, a crowd of several hundred
people gathered and discussed the 'situa
tion. Fragmentary returns were re
ceived at Schiller's cigar store and while
Devlin was showing In front as the
West Side votes were cast there was
plenty of noise. Then when the Kast
Side vote begun to come straggling in
and Mayor Line's increase showed itself,
there were cheers for Lane. Judging

from the noise that was made. It would
have been difficult to judge which of the
candidates the crowd was for. "When 1
o'clock was reached, the Devlin follow
ers finally gave up hope and went home.
This left only the Lane rooters on the
ground. They cheered and made a noise
until finally persuaded to disperse by two
big policemen.
The Devlin people died hard. In fact
they had not given up hope when they
returned home. "Walt until the votes
are all counted." was their departing;
shots at the Lane rooters. What the
feelings of those who had wagered
large sums on the mayoralty light
thought or felt Is not known. But few
of tho men who had bet Into thou
sands on the result mingled with the
crowd. "Suppressed emotion" would
accurately describe what they felt.
During the day a great many voters,
because they had moved since their
registration, were not allowed to vote.
Perhaps the largest number who were
disqualified was in the Sixth precinct,
at Fourteenth and Irving streets,
where ' some ' 150 voters were' not' al-'
lowed to cast their votes. These men
had formerly resided on Ninth, Tenth
and Kleventh streets and had been dis
possessed by the building of the new
Portland Seattle Railway terminals
and had failed to re-register from their
new residences.
At the Republican headquarters yes
terday It was predicted that Mayor
Lane would not carry his own pre
cinct, but the count showed that Lane
received 63 votes and Devlin 38.
Devlin carried his precinct by 102 to 76
for Lane.
By the result of yesterday's election
the following bond issues were author
ized: $3,000,000 of water bonds;
J1.000.00O of park and boulevard bonds.
J50O.00O of dock bonds.
$450,000 of Madison-street bridge bonds.
$275,000 of fireboat and water mains
bonds.
' Of the municipal laws proposed by
Initiative, the act creating- a board of
engineer examiners, the act regulating
electric wiring have been defeated.
The acts Increasing the retail liquor
license to 800 and regulating the
number cf saloons has carried, as has
that prescribing the license fees for

Also Charged With Pro

SAX FRANCISCO, June S. The
grand Jury late this evening filed with
District Attorney Langdon a formal
complaint against Chief of Police Jere
miah F. Dlnan, charging him with wil
ful and corrupt misconduct In office
in that he subverted the law in en
deavoring to secure the acquittal of a
defendant without the knowledge of
the District Attorney. The defendant
in the case was Mayor Schmitz and
the investigation by the grand Jury
grew out of the accusation of Assistant
District Attorney Francis J. ' Heney
that Dlnan had attempted to . tamper
with the talesmen drawn for the Jury
which Is to try the Mayor on a charge
of extortion. .
Dlnan was accused by Mr. Heney, of
having detailed some- of his officers
to interview prospective jurors in the

Interest of Schmitz. The Chief prac
tically admitted having detailed men
to shadow some of the men on the
venire, but declared that he did so be
cause he wanted to see that no im
proper person got on the jury.
Another basis for the information
filed by the grand Jury Is the accusa
tion that the Chief afforded protection
to a disorderly resort.
Dinan has ten days to answer the
complaint, and must stand trial in the
Superior Court,' with removal from his

WASHINGTON, June 3. The Weather
Bureau reports that while the mercury
has risen considerably in the last 24 hours
generally east of the Mississippi, except
in New England, the temperature is still
much below the seasonal average, except
out in the West Gulf States. A fall of 10
to 20 degrees has occurred In the middle
Mississippi Valley and the Plains States.
The official forecasters tonight prophesy
warmer weather tomorrow in the Kast,
but cooler in Missouri and thence south
westward to Northern Texas. The tem
perature in the Northwest will rise. The
outlook Is for genuine Summer weather
the latter part of the week.

THAT SPOT USED TO BE THE
STRIKE GALLED OFF
Seamen's Delegates Abandon
Pension Fight.
HAVRE REPUDIATES ACTION
Minister and Cabinet Promise Relief
and Immunity to Strikers, but
Acceptance of Decision Re
mains In Doubt.
PARIS, June 3. The extended strike
of the seamen has virtually come t'o
an end, with the capitulation of the
strikers, who are expected 'to resume
work at the home and colonial points
tomorrow morning. . Captain Lapere,
one of the strikers delegates, con
veyed the information to the Minister
of Marine Thomson at a late hour this
evening. He Informed M. Thomson
that the strike committee assembled
In Paris had telegraphed the follow
ing message to all ports:
"The delegates have been In confer
ence with the Minister of Marine and
the naval committee of the Chamber
of Deputies. " The Minister has aban
doned the prosecution of deserters,
and' he has requested the navigation
companies to reinstate all' the officers
and men. The members of the naval
committee assured ' the delegates that
REPUBLICAN PARTY"
M Thomson's proposition In the mat
ter of pensions would be improved.
The delegates, therefore, immediately
proposed that the strike cease."
Impossible to Grant Demands.
In the course of bis conference with
the strikers" delegates, M. . Thomson
declared It was impossible to accede
to their demands. He said, however.
that any proposition would be consid
ered If the strikers returned to duty
immediately, no punishement would be
tneted out, and the shipowners would
be requested to retain both officers
and men in their former positions.
The firm attitude of the Minister and
his promise that no penalties would be
inflicted apparently convinced the
strikers that it would be wiser to ac
cept the government's proposal to in
crease the pensions of seamen from
140.80 to 7S. and ot officers from 8166
to $200 a year, than to paralyse com
merce and thus entirely alienate) the
sympathy of the public, which has
already been greatly strained.
Later In the day delegates received
similar advice .from the president of the
naval committee of the Chamber of Dep
uties, who declared that although the
committee was prepared to examine the
men's demands . carefully, he did not
think Parliament .could adopt a more lib
eral measure than that offered by the
government:
Only Possible Hitch.
At the end of this conference the dele
gates talked the matter over together.
with the result that the message urging
their comrades to return to duty was
drawn up and sent. '
The only possibility of a hitch appears
to be that the men might decline to fol
low the advice ' of ' their delegates, but
persons who are well Informed regard
this as unlikely, and there is reason td
believe that work will be generally re
sumed tomorrow.
Dispatches received here say that meet
ings were held this eevning at various
points at which it was voted to continue
the strike, but it is evident these steps
were taken before the receipt of the mes
sages advising the cessation of the strike.
HAVRE TO CONTINUE STRIKE
Repudiates Action of Delegates and
Recalls Them.
HAVRE, June 3. Three thousand strik
ers held a meeting here this evening after
the receipt of the message from the dele
gates in Paris . advising the men to re
sume work. In spite of this recommend
ation, the meeting voted to continue the
strike until tbe pensions of the men were
raised to $120 a year. The Havre dele
gates were telegraphed to return at once
from Paris.
DROPS IRISH COUNCIL BILL
England Promises Relief for Evicted
Tenants and Education.
LONDON, June 3. In the House of
Commons today - Premier Campbell-Ban-Herman
formally announced that the gov
ernment. In view of the rejection of the
Irish bill by the Nationalists' convention
In Dublin, has decided' to' drop the
measure. ...
Premier Carapbell-Bannerman said that
the government Intended to introduce dur
ing the present session an "evicted ten
ants", xestoration .bill,, with . powers of
compulsory purchase.
As the cabinet had decided against an
Autumn session, the Premier continued,
11 was necessary to drop the licensing
bill. This, however; would be the first
measure to be taken up at the next ses
sion. The measure designed . to relieve
the passive restates from paying educa
tion rates for religious Instruction, the
Premier further announced, also would be
crowded out, but the government was de
termined to introduce at the next session
a comprehensive education bill, putting
the whole education system of the coun
try in order.
PUT TIES ON S. P. TRACK
Evident Intent to AVreck Train Near
San Jose, Cal.
SAN JOSE!, Cal., June 3. An attempt
to wreck the early morning train be
tween this city and San Francisco was
thwarted today by the fortunate discov
ery, shortly before 5 o'clock of a large
pile of ties on . the Southern Pacific
track, at a point near Santa Clara. Also
a rail had been loosened, and had not the
discovery been made just in time, a
frightful wreck almost certainly would
have resulted. Officers are busy in an
attempt to run down the criminal and
two arrests have been made, the men In
custody being tramps.

BOISE, Idaho, June 3. Twelve men to
try William D. Haywood for hislife on
the charge that1 he murdered ex-Governor
Frank Bteunenberg have been chosen
and bound by oath to honestly deal the
law's Justice between state and prisoner.
Haywood has heard the indictment
charging him with the crime and tomor
row, after the state has recited its case
and made promise of proof, the first
chapter of the sickening tale of the
Caldwell crime will be retold.
The wearisome work of jury selection
ended quickly and unexpectedly this
morning. Alfred Eoff, the first talesman
examined, was declared qualified after
strong and repeated protest from the de
fense. Mr. Eoff said that he had an
opinion, that he would carry his opinion
into the trial, that he could not presume
the defendant innocent, and that he
would not like to be tried himself by a
man who had an opinion, but despite
these conditions of his mind he thought
that, if sworn as a juror, he could fairly
try the case according to the law and
evidence. Four challenges for cause
against him failed, but the minute he
was passed the defense expended its
tenth and last challenge to get rid of
him.
' Twelfth Man Found, Jury Sworn.
O. V. Sebern, the next talesman called,
proved the last one needed. When a
resident of Wyoming, Mr. Bebern served
as a member of the Tom Horn jury an?
the defense went into the question quite
thoroughly, but In the end the talesman
qualified in a manner satisfactory to
both sides. The defense had contem
plated making a request for permission
to reopen the examination of certain
Jurors, but this plan was abandoned and,
when Judge Wood ordered the Jury
sworn, no objection came from either
side.
The courtroom hushed to silence as the
12 men rose In their places and facing
the clerk's desk on the left, raised their
right hands tn solemn asseveration of
their pledge to do exact justice by the
accused. It was an Impressive scene and
there came another two hours later, when
after the midday recess Haywood lis
tened to the reading of the Indictment
against himself, Moyer, PetUbone, and
Blmpklns.
Haywood Hears Indictment.
Haywood, had come to the courtroom
whitened somewhat In color from his
illness of Saturday, but, as the clerk
walked In front of the jurybox and began
reading the indictment a little tide of
blood came up along his neck and spread .
over his cheeks. His wife and daughters
sat at his side during the brief afternoon
session at which the Indictment was
read. Haywood talked with them and
his counsel after the statement was read
and then, as he rose to. return to his
cell, smiled a friendly greeting at a
friend sitting near the end of the bench.
Tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock
James H. Hawiey. for the state, will
address the court with the state's
opening statement. He has prepared
no manuscript and said today that he
would be very brief.
"I. am going now to think the matter
over and Jot down some headings," he
said, "and from these headings I will
talk. I may write one portion of tha
