There are three candidates for the
' two Justice of the peace nominations

Held and Fred L. Olson. Justices on the
West and East Sides, respectively, are
candidates for the nomination. Their
only opponent Is J. W. Bell. The two
re. elvinit the greatest number of votes
will become the party's nominees. The

Justice districts is brought about pro

June the candidate receiving the great
est number of votes shall be the pre
siding Justice for the first year of the
two-year term. His associate shall
serve as presiding Justice for the sec
ond year of the term.

Kasl Side, are rival candidates for the
nomination, for" which there are three
other applicants. Thomas McNamee,
who formerly was constable for the
Portland Justice court, will ask for the
nomination. The other candidates are
Fred A. Frischkorn, for years a promi
nent athlete in this city, where he has
an extensive acquaintance among the
young men. and Joe Morak. The real
contest, it is generally agreed, will be
between Wsgnt and Mautz.

altered. Klther of the two justices
may hold court and there may be as
many sessions of court as there are
Justices. The original process shall be
returnable and the parties summoned
required to appear before the presid
ing justice or the associate Justice to
he designated by the presiding Justice
at his office. Each Justice "shall have
the power. Jurisdiction and authority
to hear, try and determine -any actions,
suits or proceedings so commenced, and
which shall have been made returnable
hefore him, or may be assigned or
transferred to hint, or any motion,
application or issue therein (.subject
to the constitutional right of trial by
jury), and to make any necessary and
proper orders therein."
SETON' IS OCT OF THE RACE
Announces Withdrawal of Candidacy
for Iistrlct Attoneyship.
Waldemar Seton -yesterday retired as a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for District Attorney. In withdrawing
from the contest Mr. Scton wrote the fol
lowing letter to The Oregonian:
Sinre flrnt being mentioned as a candidate
for the office of District Attorney, many
changes have taken place In the field and
en account of these and the money, labor
end neK'ect of private business necessary
tn the contest. I do not feel Justified to con
tinue a candidate, particularly as success in
the primaries is only a preliminary to the
main contest. With alncere appreciation of
the kindness of the friends who offered me
fupnort, and assuring- them that I hare no
,'omhitiatton for deputynhln, monetary con-
eiilrratlon or otherwise, with any candidate,
hut that my retirement is solely upon the
grounds nbott stated, I thank you for pub
lishing this letter In my behalf.

KNEW MOT THE PURPOSE
Hanker Made Loans to Accused- Los
Anscles Land-Grabber.
1S ANGBI-KS. March 1.".. In the ques
tions asked Kobert V. Kenny, banker,
a Ik occupied the stand in the United
iSiaics Mmmissioner'a Court for more
t:mn two hours today in his own defense,
it oiuactioius eutermi iuto by him or War
ren Gillelen and the Pacific Furniture &
Lumber Company were shown to have
been two loans on the lumber and furni
ture of the company's plant at Seventh
and Channing streets and lumber en
route.
Kenny was placed upon the stand, this
moraine for the first time in an effort to
prove the exact nature of the dealings
he and Gillelen had with the Pacific Fur
niture & l,umber Company. A great num
ber of books, papers and notes, of which
the attorneys for the banker invited the
Government to take possession, were read
by Kenny. These papers pertained to a
loan of 125.0W, given in July. 1903, and a
following loan of $6000, both of which were
secured by the same mortgage on the
lumber, office fixtures and mill in this
city, and by subsequent notes. This debt
was said by Kenny to be an unsatisfac
tory account, and was never entirely set
tled. It developed that the Pacific Furniture
& Lumber Company, failing to raise
money at several banks in this city, at
last obtained the money it wanted from
Mr. Kenny. Notes which were givei at
that time for the $31,000 were not satis
factory, and a mortgage on the lumber in
yards, in transit, together with the mill
fixtures, was given.
Kenny said he knew nothing of the dis
position of the $31,000 beyond being told
that it was to be used to take up old
notes. Gould, Goodwin and Myers assert
that the money was expended for this
purpose, and deny that any Oregon land
was entered upon illegally or even pur
chased direct from tho Government.
"Warren Gillelen, another of the defend
ants, gave practically the same' testimony
as Mr. Kenny. The hearing was then
adjourned until Monday. Commissioner
Van Dyke is expected to render an opin
ion early next Tuesday on the plea in
abatement offered in the case against
George L. Stearns.
Benefit Performance at
the Marquam
THE) big benefit given by the asso
ciated theatrical managers of Port
land as their contribution to the general
Rose Festival fund, occurred yesterday
afternoon at the Marquam Theater, and

ance, owing to the Inclemency of the
weather, the affair was eminently suc
cessful from an artistic standpoint, and
netted the fund something over $250. It
was probably the most elaborate vaude
ville show ever given here. Acts were
contributed by all the theaters in the city

WOMAN MAY BE DEPORTED
Judge Will Also Kule on Motions in
Procedure for Damages Against
Members of the Furni-'
lure Trust.
Important decisions will be rendered
by Judge Wolverton In the United
States Court Monday morning In the
following cases: United States vs.
Flora Durand; and the Gilman Auction
& Commission Company vs. F. S. Har
mon and others. The constitutionality
of the immigration laws and the
sufficiency of their provisions are in
volved In the Durand case. Au eftort
Is being made by the Federal au
thorities to cause the deportation of
the Durand woman on the grounds that
she entered the United States in viola
tion of the Immigration laws of this
county, for the purpose of leading an
Immoral life.
Several motions vitally affecting the
issue in the suit of the Oilman Auction
& Commission Company against F. S.
Harmon and others, of the Northwest
Furniture Association, the members of
which were indicted and fined through
the efforts of a Federal grand jury
last Summer under the direction of
James Cole. ex-United States Attorney,
will also be decided. The plaintiff
company contends that through the
operation of the combine it sustained

under the provisions of the anti-trust
statutes is suing the alleged members
of the trust to, recover damages in
three times that amount, or $153,000,
Including attorney's fees. The suffi
ciency of the complaint and its allega
tions has been attacked by the de
fendant firms and corporations.
MAY DEPORT CHINESE COUPLE
California Authorities Want I.eong
So for Diamond Theft.
United States Commissioner Sladen yes
terday continued until Tuesday the pre
liminary hearing of Chin You and Leong
So, Chinese, charged with being in the
United States ' unlawfully. These sub
jects of the Flowery Kingdom make no
defense of the charge of an unlawful
entry to this country but assert that they
are merely on their honeymoon and were
arrested in 'Portland as they were passing-
through to Victoria. B. C. where they
represent they Intend taking passage by
steamer for their native land.
The police received yesterday tele
graphic Instructions from San Francisco
requesting the arrest of Iong So. the
woman, on a charge of stealing diamonds
in the Bay City, but the United States
officers refuse to surrender the custody
of the prisoner until the alleged viola
tion of the Immigration laws has been
settled. They suspect that the robbery
charge is merely a subterfuge to gain
the custody of the woman and her re
turn . to San Francisco for the purpose
of defeating the proposed deportation of
the couple. In default of the required
ball, both the man and the woman re
main in Jail.

CO CRT REFUSES INJUNCTION
Denies Petition of Property-Owners
on Belmont Street.
Judge Cleland refused to enjoin the city
yesterday from improving Belmont
street between Tenth and Twentieth
streets with bitulithic pavement. The de
cision holds that the city may use a
patented article if It is meritorious, and
that the fact that It is patented should
not prevent competition among bidders.
The decision was the result of a. suit
brought by William Donovan and others
against the city to secure an Injunction
restraining the city Executive Board from
letting the contract for the improvement
of Belmont street to the Pacific Bridge
Company.
The contention of William Donovan
and his fellow property-o-smers was that
no competition was possible when bids
of a patented article were sought. Judge
Cleland decided, however, that inasmuch
as a stipulation had been made by War
ren Brothers, the owners of the patent,
that they would furnish the ingredients
of the pavement to all contractors at the
same price, competition was possible.

Act Is Held Invalid.
The law making it a crime for a man
to live with a disreputable woman was
declared invalid by Judge Cleland yes

that this specific portion of the act is
not mentioned tn the title. The ruling of
the Court was made upon a demurrer In
terposed by counsel for Robert Baker.

were tiled provides penalties for four
crimes, but only three are mentioned in
the title. Other statutes are available to
cover such cases as the one which was
before the Court yesterday, and they will
be vigorously prosecuted.
