t 12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, I90S. AGREETO SUPPORT CHOICE OF PARTY Majority of Hodson Republi cans Come to Decision on Senatorial Question. U'REN IS THE CAUSE Withdrawal or Oregon City Man Brings Republican Factions Xcar cr Common Ground State ment Ho. 1 to Be Ignored. Withdrawal of W. S. U'Ren from the contest for L'nited State Senator caused members of the Hodson-Sichel-Beach-Ealley ticket last night to an nounce that they will vote in the Legia laBS for the Republican primary nomi nee flir United Statea Senator, whether that nominee shall win against the Dem ocratic nominee in the general election or not. This announcement was made by C. W. Hodson and Slg Siohel. with the assurance that J. C. Bayer will do the tame. The 13 candidates for the House, on the Hodson-SIchel ticket, are expected to do likewise. John Prlscoll and John B. Coffey, can didates for the Senate on the ticket with Hodson. Sichel and Bayer, were sur pied to hear of this new turn of af fairs and remarked that they did not see bow l'Ren had changed matters much regarding the Senatorship, since they believe the Republicans would surely bnve repudiated him at the primaries. They would not answer whether Hod iwm's action meant a cleavage between themselves and the rest of the ticket. The Hodson ticket. If its other mem bers shall follow Hodsons lead, now rests flatly on the platform of the Republican County Convention of February 29. which called on legislative candidates to refuse to "tnke a pledge that would re quire, them to support a Democrat, So cialist or Populist for United States Sen ator." and instead "to vote for the Re publican voters choice for United States Senator." So long as it was possible for U'Ren to win the Republican primary nomination, members of the so-called Hodson ticket say that they would not bind themselves to vote for the Republi can voters' choice In the legislature, since U'Ren is no Republican, but a Democrat-Socialist-Populist, such as the county convention expressly declared it did not wish Republicans to support. Ignore Statement No. 1. This dedaratlon means that the mem bers of the above-mentioned ticket will Ignore Statement No. I and Statement No. 2 and take in their place ,a state ment binding themselves to support the Republican voters' choice. That choice will be made by Republicans in the party primaries April 17. The declaration also means that the members of me ticket will ignore the resuit of the contest be tween the Republican nominee and the Democratic nominee (In all probability Covernor Chamberlain) in the Juno elec tion. The Republican nominee will be either Senator C. W. Fulton or H. M. Cake, since but two weeks remain for any new candidate to launch himseli a period regarded too short. It means also that the members of' the ticket will not bind themselves to vote for a Demo crat for United States Senator. This Is the attitude also of Dr. Kmmet Drake and B. B. Colwell, candidates for the (State Senate, of the Idleman-Davis-Glll element. The effect of this announcement is" to bring together at least on a common platform, so far as election of l'nited States Senator is concerned, the Hodson-Sichcl-Balley-BeHCli camp and a large part of the ldleman-JDavis-Drake-Colwcll-I'ohen camp. Some part of the last nnmed group still is boosting Statement No. 1, and may launch a Statement 1 ticket. To this part belongs C. M. Idle man, chairman of the county central committee, Ben Selling, chairman of the recent county convention. Thomas Mc Cusker, Dr. H. W. Coe and some others. Mr. Hodson and. Mr. Sichel authorized the announcement last night that they will vote in the Legislature for the "peo ple's choice" of the Republican primaries. "Who are the people?" asked Mr. Hod son, and answered, "They are the Repub lican party because there are more of them than any other persons. There fore the people's choice will be the choice of the Republican primaries. Purposo of ",0 Pledge. "My purpose in taking the pledge to Vote for the people's choice, if a Repub lican.' was to secure the election ot a Republican Senator. So long as Mr. U'Ren was a candidate there was danger of his being the choice of the Republican primaries, owing to the split vote against liiin, and even of the June election, I for one was determined to be free from any possible obligation to vote for him nnd I didn't want to be elected to the legislature tied to that obligation. "The same sentiment is held by other candidates for the Legislature. YV were resolved to take no chances with T.T'Ren. He Is no Republican. If Mr. Fulton or Mr. Cake shall be the primary choice for United States Senator I will vote for him." If a majority of the Republicans of the Legislature should be pledged to the rule of the Multnomah convention resolution. Statement 1 and the result of the June election would have no effect on the election of Senator. LEAGUE TO USE BOYCOTT Seattle Kxclusionlsts Propose to Kid City f Orientals. SEATTLE. March 12. The boycott will h used freely in Seattle as the weapon of the Asiatic Exclusion League against the Japanese. This league waa formed for the purpose of waging a campaign against Orientals. Japanese in particular. Little progress has been made in Its ef forts to drive out Japanese labor, and tonight the league decided to apply the boycott to such firms or business houses as refuse to discharge their Oriental help. The firms will nrst be given a -hance to get rid of such help, and If they do not comply with the demand of the league, will be placed on a blacklist. nce the membership of the list is made up almost exclusively of trades-unionists, who know how to apply the boycott ef fectively, the action of the league Is likely to prove serious. SLAP AT SUPREME COURT Judge Pooling Refuses to Rule on Industry Declared Lawful. SAN" FRANCISCO. March 12. Abraham Ruef's release, from the County Jail upon ball aggregating over S&AWA. which he declares he can promptly furnish, was temporarily delayed today by the absence f Judge Frank H. Dunne. Judge M. T. Doolinr, sitting for Dunne in the Tevis Bulletin criminal libel trial, declined to act in Ruef's case. Henry Ach. leading counsel for Ruef. moved to withdraw the plea of guilty and dismiss the other extortion indict ments, but Judge Doollng declared he had not been authorized by Judge Dunne to act in the matter and preferred not to do so. The court said. "Now that the indus try these defendants were engaged in has been declared lawful." the indictments would In the regular order of things have to be dismissed, but he continued the matter until Saturday morning. He also declined to consider the matter of bail for Ruef upon the other Indictments. In Judge Lawlor's department Assistant District Attorney Heney stipulated that the affidavits and proceedings on the mo tion of the defense on indictment No. S23 might apply to all 14 indictments in the United Railroad trolley .cases. Judge Lawlor said he wanted all affi davits In at the earliest possible moment, and continued the case until next Monday morning, at which time he expected both sides to have completed their evidenciary showing. This brought a flood of objections from Ach. and Judge Lawlor modified his order to the effect that the evidenciary showing must be completed by next Monday, "un less a proper showing is made to the con trary. SllfS THEY Will RECANT CHAIRMAX THOMAS THIXKS FAITHFCIj WILL RETXRX. Believes Democrats Who Have Reg istered as Republicans Will Vote Party Ticket "ext June. That the many Democrats who are registering as Republicans, in order to participate in the nomination of Repub lican candlatea in the primaries, will re turn to the Democratic fold in the June election is the firm belief of George H. Thomas, chairman of the county central 'committee, of his party. Still he does not know how so many Democrats can stretch their consciences so far as to swear on oath that they are Repub licans. "When I see good Democrats, church members and reformers, going to the County Clerk and swearing before Al mighty God that they are Republicans, it does not seem quite true. But per hape I am too straight-laced. That's what some persons tell me. "The reason for the apparent dearth of Democrats on the County's Clerk's records la that Democrats find too much pleasure in the Republican primaries. But it seems to me that each party ought to settle its family rows in its own house, we Democrats In ours and Republicans In theirs." Dearth of candidates for the Demo cratic ticket is making the leaders of that party anxious. Chairman Thomas in cluded. Only three Democratic candi dates have emerged from the woods in this county Thomas O'Day for Circuit Judge. John Manning for District Attor ney and Tom Word-for Sheriff. Said Mr. Thomas yesterday: "The direct primary law - is on trial. Since the law is new and its workings probably imperfectly understood. I wish to state to the Democrats of Multnomah County through The Oregonian that any registered Democrat, whether solicited or not. has a perfect right to become a can didate for nomination for any office to be filled. However, less than one month now remains in which to file and circu late petitions for such nominations. "Only one Democrat has signified an Intention of seeking a Democratic nomi nation for a strictly county office (that of Sheriff), though every elector has had some SO days of opportunity to become a candidate. The offices to be filled are County Commissioner. Sheriff, County Clerk, Treasurer. Assessor. Surveyor, Su perintendent of Schools. Coroner. Justice of the Peace, Constable. State Senators and Representatives. The Democratic party belongs to all of its members. Do we Democrats want a ticket?" As to whether it will be necessary for the county central committee to fill up the party ticket. Mr. Thomas said that the committee will not be called for that purpose unless it shall appear that the ticket cannot be filled any other way. He added that committee recommendations would raise the cry of "machine." LAUNCH BELL'S eOPUNE GLIDES NICEDT UNTIL- "TAIL" GIVES WAY. Experiment in Flight by New Model Machine Is Considered to Be Entirely Successful. HAMMONDSPORT, N. Y., March 12. Professor Alexander Graham Bell's new aerodrome, the "Redwing." was given its test flight over Lake Keuka to day by F. A. 'Baldwin, tho engineer in charge of its construction. The ma chine was built by tile Aerial Bxperi ment Association for Lieutenant Thomas Seldrldge. U. S. A. The aero plane, after gliding over the Ice on Lake Keuka for about 200 feet, rose gently to the height of about ten feet and sailed at that elevation for a dis tance of 319 teet at the rate of from 25 to 30 miles an hour. After having covered this distance a portion of the "tail" gave way and the aerodrome was brought down for repairs. The aerodrome was propelled by a 40-horse-power, nine-cylinder gasoline motor weighing 145 pounds. The pro peller was made ot two blades of steel meusunng six feet two inches In diameter, having a pitch of four feet and weighing 19 pounds. The aero drome proper weighs 195 pounds, the engine and apparatus about 200 pounds and the operator 17R pounds, thus giv ing the entire machine aid operator a weight ot 560 pounds. The main wing piece of the aero drome consists of two superposed sur face, leaving a spread of 45 feet from tip to tip, and an average depth from fore to aft of five feet three Inches. The surfaces are of double wire de sign and are bowed laterally. The experiment today was declared to be highly satisfactory in every way except for the minor accident to the "tail."

HOLD LONG DISCUSSION Corporation's Manager Agrees to Submit Franchise Ordinance Fully Protecting City's Rights on the Bull Run River. Amicable adjustment of all differ ences between Mayor Lane and the "Water Board and C. W. Miller, general BIDS OPENED FOR ELECTION TENTS, BOOTHS ' AND SUPPLIES TYPE OF EJECTION TEXT TO BE USED AT COMING BISECTIONS. Negotiations between the county and city to purchase the neces sary voting, booths, the expense of which is to be borne jointly, are nearly completed. The City Hall committee of the Executive Board ar-d County Clerk Fields met yesterday afternoon and opened the bids for the supplies. The contract will be let today by the Execu tive Board. The bids were below the figures anticipated by the offi cials, and by the purchase, it is said, they will save to the people much public money. The Willamette Tent & Awning Company submitted the lowest bid for tents, booths and tables, their figure being $2012 for 100. Jen nings & Sons bid the lowest on chairs, and tied the Meier & Frank Company bid on "stoves, each firm bidding $2.50 apiece for stoves. Each firm will receive an award for 25 stoves, if the recommendation 'of the committee is adopted. The Meier Sc. Frank Company bid was the lowest for lamps, being $1.17 for each, and that firm will un doubtedly receive the award. The 4 total expense of fitting up -the 1(M booths is $2675, and the rental heretofore has been nearly that amount for one election, so that it is evident the city and county will effect a great saving for tho taxpayers within the course of a few years by the purchase. manager of the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company, seems to be at hand. During the session of the Coun cil yesterday afternoon, a long discus sion of the matter was had. during which Mayor Iane and Mr.. Miller ex pressed their views. It was finally agreed that Mr. Miller will draw up a proposed franchise, setting forth what his corporation desires, and that this will be submitted to the Council for early consideration, probably within the next two ' weeks. The , Council granted, also, to the Mount Hood Com pany permits to cross over the Bull Run pipe-line at two points, one in Multnomah County, near Gresham, and the other in Clackamas County, near the confluence of the Big and Little Sandy Rivers. After being granted the courtesy of the floor, Mr. Miller addressed the Mayor and the Council on the plans of the Mount Hood Company, as touching the Bull Run reserve and water rights in the Bull Run River. He declared that it is not now, never has been and never will be the desire of the company to use any water required by the city, and offered to include this agreement In the proposed franchise, which he agreed to draft and present for consideration. Suspected Some Treachery. Speaking for himself and the members of the Water Board, Mayor Lane said that the administration, insofar as it is represented by himself and the Water Board, has no desire whatever to an tagonize the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company or any other corporation that seeks to enter legitimate business In this city and vicinity. He said the reason that there had been opposition to Mr. Miller's plans upon the part of the Water Board was that the suspicion had existed all along that the company was seeking to tie up some of the Bull Run water rights that properly belonged to the municipality, and also said that he did not like the manner in which Mr. Miller sought to secure rights-of-way over the city's watershed. Without making any attempt whatever to secure riphts-of-way by application to the Water Board or the Council, Mayor Lane said that Mr. Miller went into the Circuit Court of Clackamas County and "by tiling a misleading statement, insti tuted proceedings to condemn lhe desired rights-of-way over the city's property." That Mr. Miller set forth in court that he had "exhausted every means to se cure at the hands of the city the desired grants; whereas, he had exhausted no means," declared Mayor Lane. 'I was just a bit impatient over the way Mr. Miller did things." continued Mayor Lane. "While he always assured me and the members of the Water Board that he had no intention of using any of the water In the Bull Run reserve that might be required by the city, we felt that he intended to secure the rights-of-way he wished by agreeing not to use any of the supply now needed by the city, but that in the future he might use water urgently needed by the city, and we did not propose to stand for this, until we had at least done all In our power to stop him. Mayor States Position. "If Mr. Miller will stipulate in his fran chise that he wtil not now. or at any future time, under any circumstances whatever, attempt to use water from the Bull Run River that la needed by the city, then all my opposition to his project ceaseB." Mr. Miller, who had previously out lined the policy of his company to the Mayor and Council, replied that he is willing to draft a franchise, in which will be incorporated what he had said about the Intention of the company with regard to Bull Run water. "I have been unable to ascertain why it Is that there has been this suspicion in the minds of the Mayor and the mem bers of the Water Board that we in tended using Bull Run water that the city might need." said Mr. Miller. lt certainly never was and never will be our intention to do any such thing. We filed on the water rights there because we thought that at times there would be much water that the city could not possibly use. We will use the water of the Little Sandy River, but at certain time of the year that stream is low, and we thought we might then utilize the supply not required by the city in the Bull Run River. But we will never at tempt to take any water needed by the city.' - Mr. Miller explained that he now de sires immediate action upon the part of the city, as he wishes to hasten work on the railroad project, he said. He de clared that the plans of the company had been held in check for six months by the hostile attitude of the Mayor and the Water Board but he said that when he took the case up with the .Council he received prompt attention. Work to Be Resumed. Prom what could toe" learned from of ficials of the Mount Hood railroad, it is believed that the two obstacles in the way of resuming construction of the road have now been removed. One was the stringency of the money market and the other the contention of several members of the City Council that granting right of way across the city's water supply stream and conduits might result in damage to the water system. Now that the Council is satisfied with the representations of the Mount Hood people, it is believed work will be re sumed on construction in a short time. Machinery has been coming forward for some time intended for the power plant at Bull Run station, and the Mason Con struction Company, which has the con tract for grading and building 25 miles out of Portland, it is said, is ready "to start on its contract whenever the word Is given. BALD HEAD HIS CUE BALL Grecian Billiardist Uses Critic's Cranium as a Target. m- A bald head nearly cost Christ Korkes, a Greek, his life yesterday forenoon, when John Kacorcoras, who had been drinking, mistook the shining pate for a billiard ball and jabbed it viciously with a cue. The two men were in a North End billiard hall frequented by Greek workmen. Kacorcoras was playing bil liards as best he could under the dis advantage of -beinff drunk when Korkes wandered in. Korkes poses as something of an expert in the billiard line and he took up a Btand in front of the other's table and besan criticising the game played by Kacorcoras. According to eye witnesses. Korkes re marked that Kacorcoras couldn't make a billiard even with 60 balls on the table. Kacorcoras thereupon turned on his critic, pointed at the shining expanse of hairless cranium and said he d bet he could hit that billiard ball. Without waiting for anyone to accept the wager the fellow brought the point ot ms cue down on the bald head with terrific force. Korkes was knocked down, but not seri ously hurt. The police were called and Kacorcoras was arrested lor assault. GIRL TIED HAND AND FOOT Authorities Take Charge- of Girl Mother Says Is Wayward. On the complaint of some of the neigh bors of the family of A. W. McLung, who resides at 1136 East Twenty-seventh street, the police visited the McLung house last night and took charge of Pearl Daisy, a 13-year-old girl, who was found tied hand and foot. The girl was turned over to the Detention Home, and the case will be looked into by the Juve nile authorities today. Mrs. McLung told the police that the girl, who was her own daughter, was incorrigible and would not obey either herself or her stepfather. and that she had been tied up to prevent her spending the night away from home, as she ' had done frequently before. She said that they had formerly lived In Colorado, and that while there the girl had been so wayward that she had been confined in the Home of the Good Shep herd there.

WHITE SOX SHUT OUT By BEAVERS Bloomfield Proves a Wondsr and Two Chicago Pitch ers Go to Pieces. RUNS COME IN BUNCHES Portland Men Race Around the Dia mond Till Tired, While Chieagos Never Reach Second An eels and Oakland Outshone. BY WILJ G. MAC RAE. SANTA BARBARA, Cal.. ' March 12. (Staff Correspondency.) Little redheaded Bloomfield, the California lad that Mc Credie picked up last Fall, had no trou ble in shutting out the Chicago White Sox this afternoon. The score waa 8 to 0. The youngster pitched dizzy rinjes around the Windy City men, and. while smearing the hencoop varnish over them, he let them down with three measly singles. On e of the safe bi f f s cred i t ed to the visitors might just as well have been called an infield bunt. Captain Anderson of the White Sox sq uad, wanted today's game bad ly, be cause Billy Sullivan. Chicago's champion catcher, came up from Los Angeles just for the purpose of seeing the crew in action. In hopes of carting off the clos ing matinee. Captain Anderson tried two of the pitchers that have been selected for the regular team. Olmstead and Freeman. Olmstead started well, but cracked. " Ring Bell Four Times. In the fourth inning McCredie's colts landed on Olmstead for four singles and a double by Walsh, and the bell tolled four times for us. Cooney led off with a biff past third and, while the inner works of the Sox were going crazy over Malloy's sacrifice, foxy Cooney promptly stole third. Johnson singled, scoring Cooney. Bassey cuffed one clear of In terfefence and big Danzig, the new flrst baseman who arrived only yesterday, flew out to left. McCredie came through with a single and on the throwback; took second. Then came Walsh with his two bagger that hit tho fence in left and cleared the cushions. t In the fifth we made it seven by chas ing three more runs ever the platter. Casey led the brigade with , a biff, and Cooney stopped a bender with his fifth rib. Malloy beat out a bunt. Bassey's long, clean single scored Casey and Cooney. In a mad effort to catch Bas sey between bases Malloy scored, and Bassey made Pur tell heave the ball away. He scored on Danzig's out. Bloomfield jarred the cover off the ball In the sixth for two bases, Casey singled, and then Cooney came over with a smashing two-bagger, scoring Bloomfield. Portland could have made more runs, but the gung- was tired, so It let up. . Sox Nexer Reach Second. During the game the Sox never got a man as far as second, and only three got as far as first base. Bioomfield had the Indian sign on them from the be ginning and he looks like a comer. Dan zig also made a good impression at first. 'Beginning with to-morrow, McCredie will split his team in two. They will be called the Dutch and the Irish. McCredie" will manage one team and Mac Rae the other, and there will be a ball game every afternoon from now on. A Los Angeles fan who eaw today's game told me that the Portland team shows up better than the Angeles and that the Oakland team is a shine. The line-up: Batting Order and Score. Portland. position.

Why, the way is thus left open for the most flagrant substitution. You'd ask for the "Ramleh" and get a "Ramly" or some other inferior cigarette with a nama that sounds the same. So we are changing the name to "Helmar" which is simply "Ramleh" spelled backwards. The bos looks exactly the same and the dis tinctive quality which you so much enjoy is exactly the same. The only change is in the name which will hereafter be " Helmar " instead of " Ramleh " and this change is made to protect yon against the numerous imitations.
