JONES FQH SENATOR
Yakima Congressman Says He
Will Make the Race.
NO POLITICAL PROMISES
Declares He Is Willing to Abide by
Voice of P-eople Through Direct
Primary and to Do His Duty
to State if Elected.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., July 15.
(Special.) Congressman "Wesley L. Jones
tonight definitely announced his candidacy
for the United States Senate to succeed
Levi Ankeny. In his announcement, made
In the shape of a reply to recent resolu
tions passed by a public meeting here,
Mr. Jones thanks the people who have
supported him In the past and declares
that he will not again stand for election
to the House of Representatives. Ha re
fers to the new situation created by the
direct primary law, and expresses his en
tire willingness to abide by the decision
of the people to be expressed In that man
ner. Mr. Jones' friends declare he has the
support of four-fifths of the Republican
party In the state and the majority of the
democrats.
Following is Congressman JoneB' an
nouncement: Gentlemen: Tou have presented to me
a resolution adopted at a meeting of my
friends and neighbors, asking me to be
come a candidate for the office of United
States Senator. This of itself is a great
honor, and no words of mine can ex
press my gratitude for the confidence
and good will thus manifested by my
home friends and neighbors. The people
of Yakima County and of this state
have been good to me far beyond my
deserts and the expressions of friendship
and offers of support which I have re
ceived unsolicited from all parts of the
state have touched me more than I can
eay.
"You and they have Ave times elected
me to the high office which I now oc
cupy. The hearty and unselfish support
given me heretofore Is more valued by
me than any earthly possession. I am
glad to be able to say to you that In
none of these elections have I ever made
a promise to win a vote save the prom
ise to do my duty. Nor have I ever
spent a single dollar improperly to fur
ther my election. I shall accede to your
request and will not become a candidate
for re-election to the House of Repre
sentatives. When the proper time comes
I shall file a declaration of candidacy for
the nomination for United States Sen
ator by the Republican party under the
direct primary law passed by the last
Legislature. Under that law nomina
tions for Senator are made directly by
the people and not by a caucus of the
members of the Legislature. No candi
date for the Legislature will hesitate to
pledge himself to vote for the choice of
his party as expressed at such primary,
and all of them will cheerfully and
promptly carry out such manifest will.
"I shall gladly abide by the result of
fuch primary election. The people's
choice shall be my choice. For 10 years
I will have been your servant In the
House of Representatives. My record Is
an open book to the people of the state.
Upon it and it alone I shall rely for
their support. I have made and will
make no promise or combination to se
cure the support of any one except the
promise to do all In my power. If elected,
to protect and promote the interests of
our great state."

(Special.) A Special to the Herald
from Vflnprnu-r T ( ' oa,.e.

day night and spent the morning with
Consul Dudley and United States Immi
gration Officers. With the latter he
discussed Japanese immigration from
Hawaii. He was entertained at
luncheon by the Canadian club.
Strauss, replying to a toast, spoke for
three-quarters of an hour. He leaves
here tonight on the steamer Charmer

TACOMA BARBERS ON STRIKE
Two Employers Accede to" Demands
of Workmen.
TACOMA, Wash., July 15. (Special.)
Journeymen barbers walked out in
every shop in the city this morning
except at the Club and the Donnelly
Hotel, where the master barbers met
the demand for an Increase In scale
from 15 to $17. The strike Is on In
earnest, and the Journeymen say that
unless their demands are met they will
not work.
At all shops In the city, with the
exception of the Club and the Donnelly,
the master barbers were working sin
glehanded, trying to accommodate cus
tomers; but many were turned away.
At the two shops where the demand
of the Journeymen was met, the men
worked overtime.
BIG CONVENTION AT AN END
Christian Endeavorers Listen to
Many Remarkable Speeches.
SEATTLE. July 15.-The twenty-third
International Christian Endeavor conven
tion closed tonight with roll calls of the
states and territories of the United
States and all of the foreign countries
in which the society has branches. Al
ready many of the delegates are leaving,
and tomorrow there will be a general
exodus. The society's officers call this
the greatest convention that has ever
been held. Some remarkable speeches
were made during the sessions, not the
least lntresting being that of an Alaskan
Indian, who made a vigorous plea that
the United States Government should
not segregate his people on reservations.
A renewed impetus was given the so
ciety's plan for an international , build
lng to be erected at Boston, when largely
attended meetings were held this after
noon and the financing of the building
proposition taken up. A large stock sub-
scription is being made, and from present
prospects the necessary 1300,000 will be
raised In five years.
In contrast to the threatened deficit
faced by the local convention committee
two weeks ago is the situation today, the
fund having - been oversubscribed and
plenty of money Is in the treasury.
OFF FOR MT. JEFFERSON
MAZAMAS LEAVE OX MOUNTAIN
CLIMBING EXPEDITION. '
Go to Albany and Thence to Detroit
Will Camp Tonight in the
Wild Hills.
The Mazama outing party, which is
to scale Mount Jefferson, left Port
land last night at 7:45 for Albany.
From there the party will go by train
to Detroit, where 18 pack animals await
them. They will start out from De
troit this afternon and will make
camp after a short tramp of less than
10 miles.
Tomorrow the mountain climbers
will make a longer tramp, and will
reach an unsetled country where the
wild things roam at will, the birds
sing in the trees, and where one may
quench his thirst from the babbling
mountain brook. They will camp over
night at some convenient spot select
ed by Guide S. S. Mohler and Deacon
Hicks on their advance trip, and will
go to sleep to the soft lullaby of the
breezes through the rustling pines,
taking chances of being awakened by
the howl of the coyote or the hoot of
the owl. But after such a tramp the
city folk of the party will not be dis
turbed by thoughts of wild beasts, but
will roll up in their bla,nkets and lie
down to pleasant dreams.
There were nearly 30 In the party
that left last night, and this number
will be increased later by some . who
cannot spend the full two weeks In
ine mountains, but who wish to scale
the peak.
W. A. Sprague, the chef, was at the
Union Depot yesterday checking bag
gage all day, and by 7:30 last night
nearly all the mountain climbers were
aboard the train. Part of a car had
been reserved as far as Albany, and
from there a special car takes them to
Detroit. Edmund P. Sheldon, chair
man of the outing committee, left on
the 4 o'clock train for Albany yester
day afternoon to make preliminary ar
rangements for the party.
Those who left last night are as fol
lows: Miss Agnes Plummer, Miss
Francis Beneflel, C. H. Sholes, Nelson
Gammons, H. A. Hanneman, Rodney I
Gllsan, Dr. T, D. Kerr Miss Anna L.
Rankin, F. H. Kiser. E. A. Chinland,
Walter "Vollman, Mr. Stammers, Mr.
Rise, John Nichols, S. S. Mohler, J. A.
Lee. M.- W. Gorman and W. A. Sprague,
of Portland, and Leroy Anderson and
R. Alexander Bernstein, of Los An
geles. Rev. A. D. Wagner left with
L. J. Hicks in advance of the main
party. Word ' has also been received
that Dr. John A. Sweeney, with his
wife and two daughters, and Eugene
Semple and daughter, of Seattle, will
make the trip with the party.
BIG VOTE IB EXPECTED
EXCITING CITY ELECTION AT
WEST SEASIDE SATURDAY.
Dan J. Moore Declines to Run for
Mayor Race Betwen Home
-Owners and Home-Ruler.
SEASIDE. Or., July 15. (Spesial.)
Dan J. Moore has declined the nomi
nation for Mayor, offered to him by the
Portland owners of West Seaside prop
erty, who had nominated a ticket head
ed by Mr. Moore for the approaching
election, Saturday, July 20. A. H. Wil
son, manager of the Seaside Spruce
Lumber Company, and a resident of
West Seaside, on the solicitation of a
committee from the Portland people,
has been induced to accept the nomina
tion in Mr. Moore's place.
Mr. Moore's reasons for declining
were that he had been acting as Mayor
of West Seaside for more than two
years, and he felt that he ought not
to be called on to serve longer, but
that the honor should be passed on, so
that he might have more needed time
to attend to his own business affairs.
Mr. Wilson occupies a very impor
tant position In Clatsop County's busi
ness affairs, and it is felt here that If
he should be elected Mayor, , the
scheme of progress and improvement
planned for this well-known Summer
resort will be efficiently and Judicious
ly directed.
Some of the Nominees.
Other nominations have been made
to complete the Homeowners' ticket so
that it stands as follows:
Recorder, H. M. Wheatley; Marshal,
F. D. LIndsley; Councllmen, A. Q. Long,
John F. Logan, E. C. Johnson, Edgar.
B. Piper, C. H. Precemeder, R. W.
Wilson, George H. Hill. Dan J. Ma
larkey, W. F. McGregor, G. H. George
and E. M. Grimes.
Mr. Hennlnger, nominee for Treas
urer, is the Seaside banker. Mr.
Wheatley, for Recorder, is the cashier
for F. Dresser & Co. Mr. Lindsley, for
Marshal, is a well-known citizen of
West Seaside. The candidates for
Councllmen are citizens of Portland,
Astoria and West Seaside.
The plan of the promoters of the
Homeowners' campaign is to distribute
the organization of the West Side
municipality so that the executive
branch shall consist of local residents
and the administrative branch, or
councllmen. shall be made up of property-owners
wherever they may reside.
It is felt by them that this arrange
ment ought to remove any Just criti
cism that the local government Is
directed "oy outsiders. It is on this
issue that a campaign against the pur
poses cf non-resident property-owners
has been made by local residents who
have put up a ticket of their own.
Large Vote Expected.
The approaching election has been
a subject of the deepest interest, not
only here, but among the Summer resi.
dents and visitors to Clatsop Beach
from every part of the Northwest, so
that a large vote is expected next Sat
urday. Property owners here from all
over the state have been urged to come
and vote and the backers of the Home
owners' ticket say they are coming In
large numbers. In any event, Satur
day Is expected to witness a mildly
sensational close to a unique and in
teresting contest between the Home-
owners and the Homo Rulers, the lat-
WATCH THE FIRM
THAT CRIES "WOLF"
Many Houses Jealous of Eilers
Success Wide - Awake, Wide
Open, Tair and Squara Policy
of the House of Eilers Makes
the Less Liberal and Less
Popular Firms Envious.
Values This Week at $138, $156, $198
and . Other Figures Prove That
Eilers Saves the Buyer from $50
to $150 on Every Piano Sold.
There is a great difference between
cheap pianos and pianos sold cheaply.
You can fool some of the public all the
time, and all of the public some of the
time, but you cannot fool all of the
public all of the time. The mere
assumption of any firm that a refer
ence to "Quality" is all that Is needed
in the shape of an argument Is a pretty
poor proposition, from the buyer's
standpoint.
Eilers Piano House not only gives
you positively the very lowest prices
that are asked by any firm, but also
gives you in the bargain the very
highest quality. Investigation is the
surest test. Compare the value of
pianos sold by firms who base their
claim to your patronage, alone on a
quality argument, and you will find
that equal values can be secured at
Eilers Piano House at a saving of from
$50 to $150 in every instance.
Eilers Piano House tolerates no fake
sales and firms who cry "wolf" need
to be watched. Every inducement that
is offered you at Eilers Is legitimate.
Eilers sell for less because of greater
buying power, a greater output, better
facilities for shipping, handling and
distributing. Many sales, small profits
is the Eilers policy, and it's the policy
that has made the House of Eilers the
Biggest. Busiest and Best of all.
Look into the piano values offered
by Eilers Piano House at $138. $156,
$198 and at any other price, and then
try to dupllcato the value given .any
where else. Investigate these values
this week today tomorrow. Plain
figures, strictly one-price, a definite
guarantee and easy terms. And. re
member, Eilers Piano House does not
exact one cent of tribute for the ad
vantage you have of buying from the
"Line of Highest Quality." Remember,
It's the Piano House on Washington
St.. 353, cor.- of Park the House that

GREEKS WANT PR0TECTI0
Consul Complains of Recent Rioting
at Roanoke, Va.
NEW YORK, July 15. I. C. Maximos,
Acting Consul-General of Greece at New
York, today protested to the State De
partment at Washington concerning the
mob at Roanoke, Va., Saturday night,
when several Greek restaurants and
places of business were wrecked during
a riot, and asked that the Greeks be
given the fullest possible protection.
A telegram was received at the Con
sulate here today from Roanoke, signed
by 150 Greeks, asking for protection
against a mob of rioters. The Greeks
said that the Roanoke police were unable
to cope with the situation and afford
them protection. Mr. Maximos said to
day:
'I do not think the disorders developed
from any racial differences, but rather
from Insignificant causes which devel
oped into a riot. There never have been
trouble . between Americans and the
Greeks, And there is no reason why
there should be."
DYOTT MAY. NOT ACCEPT
Brooklyn Pastor Not Sure of Re
moval to Portalnd.
BROOKLYN, N. Y., July 15.-(Speclal.)
The Rev. Luther R. Dyott, pastor of
the United Congregational Church, Lee
avenue and Hooper street, may reconsider
his tentative determination to accept the
call tendered him by the First Congre
Rational cnurcn or Portland, Or. When
Dr. Dyott returned from Portland after
looking over the field, he called his board
of deacons and trustees together, and ex
plained fully to them the situation.
Towards the close of the meeting,
suggestion was made, which. If carried
out, may Influence Dr. Dyott to remain
in charge of the United Congregational
Church. One of the members suggested
that in view of the changing population
of the eastern district, it might be well
to sell the church property and build a
new edifice in another section of the
borough, preferably in the vicinity of the
Eastern Parkway.
The deacons, it was said today, took to
the suggestion, but nothing will be done
this Summer.
