TELLS OF
POLITICAL PLOT
Charges Editor Sullivan and
Mayor Lane With
Alliance.
TO DELIVER IRISH VOTE
Former Police Captain Says Cam
eron and Lane Will Help Each
Other Promises Expose at
Mass Meeting.
Two weeks ago The Oregonian pub
lished an article wherein it was stated
among other things as local poli
tical gossip that Patrick K. Sulli
van manager of the Catholic Sen
tinel of this city, had political aspira
tions, and that in furtherance of the
ume he was active as an officer of
local Irish-American societies in sup
pressing, or endeavoring to suppress
any demonstration on the part of such
organizations sympathizing: with or
indorsing the attitude of ex-Police Cap
tain Patrick Bruin toward the Cane
administration immediately following
his resignation from the police de
partment. On March 9 last, Sullivan,
over his signature, with three others,
denied all statements made in the article
a hove mentioned "as unfounded in fact
and not true."
On March 21 Sullivan was appointed
by Mayor Unc as a member of his
Executive Board. Last night ex-Captain
Bruin called at The Oregonian of
fice and requested the subjoined
signed statement published.
Bruin Makes Investigation.
Bruin also said that ten days ago
he had heard of the report of Sulli
van's proposed addition to Mayor
Lane's cabinet and that he started a
personal Investigation to run down a
rumor whether or not Sullivan's ap
pointment had anything to do with his
activity among the fraternal organi
zations In squelching any attempt in
the way of resolutions favorable to
Bruin. He said that as a result of his
investigations he has collected a chain
of circumstances which will convince
any reasonable man that Sullivan's ap
pointment to the Executive Board of
this city is the result of a deal with
the Lane people, for which Sullivan is
to use his personal influence and also
that of his paper to support the Lane
administration among the Irish or
ganizations and the Catholic people of
the city in general.
"I say. without fear of successful
contradiction." said Captain Bruin,
"that this Is one of the rawest politi
cal deals ever consummated in this
city. Lane has lost caste among our
people and he knows It, and Sullivan
can't restore it.
"My friends are arranging a mass meet
ing where I can get the ear of the Irish
men of the city unhampered by parlia
mentary tactics and where I can present
my case fairly and squarely to -them.
I am not asking a certificate of character,
1 am not Interested In any political clique,
but I don't propose to be made the 'fall
guy' between the Iane boosters on one
side and an alleged religious newspaper
man with a lot of political huneombe in
his columns as a consideration for his
tenure of office.
"Another piece of deception," continued
Bruin, ,"is. Sullivsn Is not a Democrat,
lie has always affiliated with the Repub
lican parly heretofore. An Inspection of
the registration list will likely find him
registered as a Republican now unless he
has changed over since this deal with
Iane.
Says Case Is Convincing.
"After hearing my statement at this
proposed meeting, I am confident any
man In search of facts will agree with
me that I have made out a good case
against Sullivan, based upon the circum
stances I will bring to light, and showing
clearly that Sullivan haa gone over to
Ijne in spite of all his protestations in
the past that he Is not in politics. He is
In politics and he and his tools have de
ceived and buncoed the Organized Irish
men of this city as I will show."
Bruin also declares as a result of his
investigation that he has discovered a
lineup between Cameron and the Lane
men.
"The Lane supporters have always been
anti-Manning." he said. "The plan is to
throw the Lane support to Cameron for
I'istrlot Attorney. This for two reasons:
Lane is ambitious to be Governor, so Is
Cameron: l.ane agrees to support Cam
eron for District Attorney provided Cam
eron keeps out of the race for Governor
and throws his support to Lane. In the
event of Cameron's election as District
Attorney. ljne will appoint a Democrat
as police Juilge and cut out the "reform-run-mad'
policy, adopt a 'saner' one. re
construct his fences and go before the
people as a Grover Cleveland reformer,
that Is. a reformer who believes in per
sonal liberty, and personal liberty of
the Lane brand will in the future be much
in evidence in the north end of this city."
Bruin to Tell All at Mass Meeting.
PORTLAND. March 2!.-rTo the Edi
tor.) Patrick B. Sullivan, manager of
the Catholic Sentinel, of this city, has
sold out to the Lane administration in
consideration of his appointment to
Lane's Kxecutive Board. He also agrees
to use all the Influence of the Catholic
Hentlnel In support of the Lane adminis
tration and to use his personal influence
with the Irish and Catholic societies of
thl city In consideration of that appoint
ment. The deal was closed at a private
dinner in Sullivan's home March 15 last
at which time and place Tom Greene.
P. K. Sullivan. Kdward Deery and John
OTUre were present. This with a lot
of other evidence I will prove to the sat
isfaction of any falrminded man at a
mass meeting of Irishmen, probably Sun
day night next. In a hall to be announced
later. p. BRI IX.

1 THE WHITE-BREASTED SWALLOW. .
....1
BT WILLIAM L. FINLET.
THE OTHER morning, March 10. I
heard the first notes of violet-green
swallow and. running out, I looked
up and saw the new arrival fluttering
and skimming above the orchard. I have
been out almost every" day, and this
single bird is the first of the year. As
I watched him he circled and dropped
to the birdhouse on the hill above our
back door, and hung at the threshhold
twittering as if he knew the place. If
lie were a new bird he intended to file
his claim before others arrived. He was
the very first swallow I had seen this
year, and the fact that be came direct
ly down to the house seemed to show
that he was acquainted and had been
here before. I watched him for an
hour or so. but lie seemed alone, and
after a while he disappeared in the sky,
I wonder where he went; he seemed sud
denly to drop out of the sky and he
departed as he came.
There is no doubt that the same birds
return to the same places year after
year. I have known this on account of
peculiarities of birds, their methods of
building and the places they have built.
What a sense of location the swallow
has. for his journey from the South
leads him through trackless paths of
the unmeasured regions of the sky, yet
he had some compass and sign post that
Is unknown to us. From his lofty
course how does he know just when he
gets back to his old home? Where now
Is he spending the night? If it rains for
a week, he wili disappear as suddenly
as he came, but the minute another
bright day dawns I know he will be here
again, and he will remain till the cold
of Winter drives him away. No wonder
people used to think the swallows dived
Into the mud to spend the Winter they
appear so suddenly and are away again
so mysteriously.
I have watched the change coming on
since the first of the year. Even in
what we call the dead of Winter I went
out one day and found the pussy-willows
pushing out their silver-gray heads and
the brown catkins of the hazel growing
so long that they were swinging in the
SCRAMBLE FOB STATE JOB
SEVEN REPUBLICANS WOULD BE
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
Only One Democrat Has Been Men
tioned for Position Now Held
by C. B. Aitchison.
Seven Republican candidates scrambling
for the iW job of Railroad Commis
sioner for the Second District, now held
by C. B. Aitchison, through appointment
by State Treasurer Steel, make a lively
scene in the political arena. Aitehfson's
rivals are: C. C. Loucks. W. H. Hurl
burt. H. B. Humphries, A. X. Hamilton.
Joseph Gaston and Howard Whiting. In
the First District T. K. Campbell, now
Commissioner, as yet has no oppositipn.
Whether the Democrats in the Second
District will trot out a candidate to run
against the Republican nominee is not
known. Thus far the only Democratic
candidate mentioned is J. X. Teal, in
dorsed for the Job by the Kentucky Klick.
The only reason for the many candi
dates in the Second District seems to be
Aitchlson's connection with the Ross
bank, before his appointment aa Com
missioner. This has caused rival aspir
ants to believe that the popular tide will
sweep Aitchison out of office. But roost
observers think the foes of Aitchison have
brought out too many candidates, since
they will scatter their votes among six
seekers of the office, while Aitchison'6
followers will be united. Aitchison was
Indorsed last Saturday by the Oregon and
Washington Lumber Manufacturers' As
sociation. Aitchison will probably receive
the support also of a considerable element
of shippers in Portland, who persuaded
State Treasurer Steel to appoint him last
February.
I-ou.-ks expects to obtain the support of
the railway employes and of affiliated la
bor interests. Hurlburt relies on his long
connection with the shipping public. In
the service of the O. R. & N. and the Ore
gon Water Power & Railway Company
to bring him before the people favorably.
Humphries poses as Eastern Oregon's
candidate, hailing from La Grande. Jo
seph Gaston was formerly a railroad pro
jector and constructor, having served in
those capacities In the building of the line
now known as the Yamhill division of
the Southern Pacific. Whiting was build
ing inspector of Portland under Mayor
Williams. Hamilton was a member " of
Oregon's old Railroad Commission.
POUNDING HEAVILY ON REEF
Steamer Saratoga Certain to Become
a Total Loss.
S RATTLE. Wash.. March 22. The Post
Intelligencer received the following spe
cial cable from Valdez, Alaska:
Captain Svhage. of the wrecked steam
ship Saratoga, has given up all hooe of
saving the vessel, which struck on the
breeze. The round buttons of the dog
wood blooms had begun to form. - If I
should fix my mind on weather condi
tions I never could tell just where Win
ter left on" and Spring began. Every
month has had some warm days of sun
shine when I was almost persuaded that
Spring was in the air. There has been
but one slight snow since the trees
dropped their leaves last Fall, and that
lasted but half a day.
Even If I had not noticed other signs,
T should know that Spring has arrived
because I saw the grouse flowers in
bloom for the first time on the second
Sunday in March.' Then I began searching.
Along the south 6lope toward the river
I found a few Spring beauties just
poking their heads out of the leafy mould.
We have had hard rains and winds
but the temperature has "Ueen
mild. The few days preceding this spell
has had its effect, for this morning as
T came up the hillside in front of the
house T saw the first 1 trilliums of the
year. Something in the sight and odor
of the first trilliums appenls to me as
no other flower. My mind associates
them so closely with the arrival of
Spring, the coming of the birds, the bud
ding trees, and the warm days. The ap
pearance of these "wood lilies" that grow
so abundantly along the shaded slopes
and In the ravines is the choicest invita
tion a child has to go to the hills.
A few days ago I saw the bluebirds
Inspecting the hole in one of my old
apple trees. When you see an orchardlst
who allows his trees to remain full of
holes to furnish homes for the birds you
may know he is a mighty poor horticul
turist, for the cavities that houses young
birds in Summer shelter Insect pests
during the Winter. They should all be
tightly closed, but for all the fruit I can
not think of closing the round door that
admits a pair of bluebirds to the heart
of one of my Baldwin trees. But I will
cleanse the place carefully in the Fall.
The violet - green or white - breasted
swallow is the first of its family to ar
rive from the South. His white breast
and back that gleams violet and green
in the sunshine, distinguish him from
his cousins, the cliff or cave swallow, and
the brownish, rough-winged swallow. He
is more associated with our home life.
He bears the same relation to the home
as the barn swallow and purple marten
reef at the west end of Busby Island last
Friday. Early in the morning there was
no water In the holds and it was antici
pated that it would- be possible to float
her. To this end the crew worked all
the harder to jettison the cargo of ore,
and late in the afternoon accomplished
the task of heaving all the ore overboard.
When the ore was removed, however,
the support it gave to the bulkheads was
lost, and in the' swell produced by a
southeast wind the bulkheads gave way.
The straining of the vessel with this
stiffening removed caused several plates
to crack and the vessel at low tide was
lying with seven feet of water in her
hold. She is hard on the reef with the
rising tide, and with the southwest wind
developing into a gale, she is pounding
heavily on the rocks, and is expected to
break up within the next 12 hours.
CANADIAN SHIPPING ALARMED
Foreign Bottoms Have Right to
Handle Bonded Goods.
VANCOUVER, B. C. . March 22.
(Special.) That the coasting laws of
Canada as at present worded are no bar
to American or other foreign vessels
handling Canadian bonded goods was the
rude shock Vancouver shipping interests
received through an interpretation of the
laws by Commissioner of Customs Mc
Dougall. Following the certainty that an Im
mense tonnage of Grand Trunk Pacific
supplies shipped from Eastern Canada
via the Grand Trunk to Chicago and
thence west via the Great Northern will
soon be routed and will probably be
trans-shipped at Seattle for Prince Ru
pert an agitation to have the coasting
laws enforced arose. Investigation de
veloped the astonishing fact that the
laws do not prevent foreign vessels
handling Canadian bonded freight so
long as they transport it from an Amer
ican to a Canadian port.
For years American vessels have been
handling this freight from Seattle to
Victoria nd from Vancouver to Skag
way, but It was thought they were do
ing so only under a privilege granted
by order in council. It has now turned
out that It was no privilege, but a right.
The result is that a strong attempt will
be made to have the laws amended so
that the interests of Canadian shipping
may be conserved.
"Lone Democrat" to Run Again.
NORTH POWDER, Or.. March 22.
Special.) Herman Rothchlld. the
"lone Democrat" of the House in the
last Oregon Assembly, has announced
his candidacy for the Democratic nom
ination for representative for Union
County. The county central committee
lor that party met at La Grande yes
terday and decided to put a full ticket
In the field. They phoned to Mr. Roth
child, asking him to make the race,
and he signified his willingness to do
so. He is a pioneer of this section.

in many sections of the country. The
violet-green swallow is one of my con
stant Spring companions. He has given
up his ancestral home in the midst of
the forest and taken to civilized dwell
ings near human abodes. He rents a
modern bird house, if one is handy, or
climbs into the vacant corner of some
building by way of a knot hole.
Th one thing necessary to a violet
green's nest is a good bed of feathers
and these are always handier to get
about a farmyard. I always keep a sup
ply of these on hand when the swallows
are nesting. When I stand on the hill
side and blow up the feathers they ask
for nothing better, and I thoroughly en
joy the sport. At first I blew the feath
ers in the air and the birds skimmed
past and caught them before they
touched the ground. Gradually they be
came bolder especialy when three or four
swallows were in the game: they often
flitted by and took the feathers before
they left m- hand. The news of a
feather supply spreads rapidly. Try it
and see. One morning I had six differ
ent birds all skimming about me and
circling to catch the feathers I let loose.
The competition was so sharp I thought
I might have a little more excitement
at the birds' expense. I took two light
feathers and tied each one at the end
of a fine thread a few feet apart. When
I saw one of the birds coming I blew
them into the air. No sooner had they
left my hand than one was snapped up
and the bird behind dived for the second,
but it moved off at the tail of the first
bird at such a pace that he Increased
speed to take it. The first swallow had
not gone far till he seemed to get fright
ened at the feather that followed hard
at his tail. He dropped it only to see It
snapped up in the fraction of a second,
and that quickly the tables were turned
and he was away after the lost treasure.
The aerial race became exciting. The
swallow with the feather started for his
house on the top of the barn, but he was
cut off and had to circle higher. Around
and around, higher and higher, twisting,
dodging, curving up and down, they went
till the first bird, by a swift spurt, got
hold of the trailing feather and by a
short turn dived straight for the top of
the house and disappeared In his round
doorway.

Following the banquet a public meeting
will be held at the White Temple, at
which matters of general interest will
be discussed: After the meeting Dr.
Fisher will leave for the Inland Empire

main reason of Dr. Fisher's visit to the
Northwest, will be held at Seattle.
Experiment With Potatoes.
"WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE.
Pullman. March 22. (Special.) Professor
A. G. Craig, of the experiment station, is
sending out many varieties of potatoes to
the farmers In the counties of Eastern
Washington, for the purpose of determin
ing the adaptibillty of the various varie
ties to different localities in the Inland
Empire. The plan is . to send several
kinds of potatoes to each farmer, and re
ceive a report from the grower at the
end of -the season. It Is probable that
when the data is all in the information
will be published in a small bulletin by
the station. The varieties being sent out
include Burpee's Extra Early. Champion
of the World, New Queen, Sweet Home,
White Early Ohio. White Rose. White
Monmouth. King of the Earliest, Early
Excelsior and Bovee.
Grape-Nuts Food is made
of Wheat and Barley, in
large 10-lb. loaves which
are first baked, then sliced
and again baked until rock
hard. The slices are then
ground into the granules
called Grape-Nuts.
The long baking changes
the starch of the cereals to
a form of sugar which is
easily digested and quickly

'Every American citizen who fails to
place his name on the registration books
at the County Clerk's office should be
disfranchised for a term of. years. I
would be in tavor of a law to that effect,
for he is as much a criminal as the
bosses who place men in office who are
untrue to their trust. He is a traitor to
his country." With these words C. M.
Idleman, chairman of the Multnomah
County Republican Central Committee,
scored derelict citizens in an interview
last night.
"I believe as an abstract principle that
every community has as good men in
office as it is entitled to. If the people
will not come out and select the best
men, they are just as guilty of crime as
the men who attempt to control politics
by placing bad men In office. The man
who fails to register or vote is aa much
an anarchist aa the bomb-thrower, for
by his neglect of duty he Is permitting
the destruction of the government, if not
directly planning It.
"Under the primary law I am confident
that if 'the people would exercise the
privileges given them in selecting can
didates, there would not be any question
but that the offices would be filled with
proper men. Some parts of the primary
law, of course, will ha.ve to be com
pleted. I do not think the law Is perfect
yet. In the main, however. I believe it
is calculated to give the people the op
portunity they have been crying for so
long, to vote for the men they want in
office. '-'
No Excuse for Negligent.
"I dare say that if the citizens of the
community 1 would do their duty at the
polls there would be no need of such a
cleaning up of prominent criminals as
has been going on in San Francisco for
months. Whether a man is a Republican
or a Democrat, he ought to register and
to cast his vote. At a recent meeting of
the Republican central committee each
committeeman was Instructed to bring
out every citizen in his precinct. The
people ought to realize that it is their
duty to register, that they are com
mitting a crime against the community
if they don't. No man -in our Republic
can live to himself. He is dependent upon
all the others, and he ought to be will
ing to place his shoulder under the
burden and bear a portion of it. That s
all there is to this government in
dividual responsibility. Take that away
and we have a state of chaos. I. believe
all school children should be strongly
Impressed with this responsibility. If
crooks and criminals get hold of the
reins of our government, it is the fault
of the community.
"I find it is more largely the merchants
and workingmen who fail to register than
any other classes. And it Is usually these
very men, who haven't time, or are too
tired, who rail the longest and howl the
loudest when an unfit man is placed in
office. I don't blame the weary work
ingman so much for failing to register
as I do the commercial man or the
banker, but they are all to blame. There
is no man. however rich or poor, who
should not be interested In politics, for
politics In this country comes into every
man's home."
County Clerk Fields said last night that
it was found upon investigation that only
about two-thirds of the men in a local
wholesale house had registered. He ex
pressed his belief that a similar condi
tion prevails in many other parts of the
city. He intends to take up the registra
tion question today with the superinten
dents of the various carbarns of the city,
and with other employers and foremen.

publicans, 3S35 are Democrats and 112S are
of other party affiliations. Every voter
must register this year In order to vote
at the primaries. It makes no difference
whether he was registered two years ago
or not.
The necessity of having all the eligible
voters in the county on the books is
being given serious consideration by the
various commercial bodies in the city
Aside from the value of having a wider
interest shown in matters affecting the
public welfare, stress Is laid upon the
fact that on the number of actual regis
trations, is computed the population of
the city.
Early , in the week communications were
sent out by the Manufacturers' Assocla
tion to all ita members, a large number of
whom are corporations, requesting that
they permit their employes to register
during office hours in cases where it is
not convenient for clerks and others to do
so at other periods of the day.
The question of increasing the registra
tions wilt be discussed at the meeting of
the board of governors of the Portland
Commercial Club this morning and an
appeal will be addressed to all of the
club's members. The Chamber of Com
merce will hold, a special meeting within
a day or two to act in the matter of
securing a larger voting list.
When asked yesterday ' what action. If
any. would be taken by the Commercial
Club in the matter. Manager Tom
Richardson said:
"The necessity of having Portland's full
voting strength represented at the polls
has been urged right along by the Com
mercial Club. We also appreciate the
fact that the city's population is to some
extent computed on the number of reg
istrations entered. Portland can easily
register 35,000 people if she will. One of
the great difficulties is that many people
are not well informed regarding the reg
istration laws. Many men think they are
eligible to vote because they were regis
tered last year or the year before; even
people Interested in politics make that
mistake.
Other Organizations Act.
"The Chamber of Commerce will be
glad to do anything it can to increase the
number of registrations, said President
Swifter t yesterday. "I will call a meeting
early In the week and discuss the matter
with the trustees. People have always
been slow about registering In this com
munity. As a matter of fact, there has
not been enough of a fight to get the
people interested. People are inclined to
be indifferent unless there is something in
particular they wish reformed. Portland
can and certainly should show a larger
voting list."
"We have already sent out communi
cations to all of our members." said
President Linn, of the Manufacturers
Association, "requesting them to grant
their employes time during office hours,
where necessary, to enable them to
register. The trouble here is that certain
districts of the county are too remote and
residents cannot make the trip to Port
land without considerable inconvenience
and expense. At St. John, for instance,
it takes about a half a day for a man
to come to Portland, register at the
Courthouse and return home. Some ar
rangement ought to be made whereby
registrations can be made In each dis
trict. A laboring man cannot very well
sacrifice the time and expense to come to
Portland from outside points for this
purpose: A canvass of the various mills
in the city and vicinity has shown that
not more than half of the mill employes
are registered at the present time."

Watch out for the signs!
Those little pains and aches that come and go: the spells of weakness; that feelins; of
numbness, of lassitude; those restless nights; despondency; the occasional loss of memory,
that dullness of brain, drowsiness and lack of courage and energ-y are the true signs that
point to Physical . Breakdown.
It Is through these signs that Nature gives you warning of abuse, neglect. Through these
signs that she cries out for help. Kelp for the tired and aching body, the worn-out and
shattered nervous system, the wasted tissue, he weakened muscles.
It's a shame trat so many men neglect these warning signals and allow themselves to
sink deeper and deeper until they become physical and mental wrecks overwhelmed with
despair!
You wouldn't be as mean to your dog as you are to your own God-given body and mind,
which your duty to yourself and to mankind should prompt you to protect and make the
most of.
You can't fool Nature. She demands the full return of principal and interest for every
jraft you make upon your bodily vitality, and if you don't make good she forecloses the
mortgage and out of business you get.
It really seems strange that men who arc SERIOUSLY WEAK will
go to the charlatan, when they might just as easily AND FAR MORE
SATISFACTORILY, spend the .time consulting physicians of known
merit. To the weak, rundown and nervous man no better advice can be
given than this:
SEEK HELP WHERE IT IS CEBTAISi TO BE KOI NO.
If you persist In going to those who have no standing professionally.
HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO BE CURED? This Institution has built
ip its splendid practice more by the free advertising given it by its
PERFECTLY SATISFIED ' PATIENTS, who have received the benefit
of ita modern,. . scientific and legitimate methods, than in any other,
way. If you are not a perfect man come to us. Isn't It worth the
little time It will take when you are CERTAIN that you will have the
benefit of HONEST, SINCERE physicians who never attempt to deceive
you in any way? A consultation costs you nothing EXCEPT your own
time.

chronic disease, the best and cheapest way Is to have It attended to at an

Sleep
Sleep is nature's re
building period, -when the
energy .used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength' sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. Dr. Miles'
Nervine quiets the irri
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
"For over two years T suffered un
told agonlea; my friends thought I
was going . craxy. I could not sleep
nor rest at all. I tried different doc
tors, but tailed to find relief. My
head would ache all the time; I was
like one drunk; could not. concentrate
my mind, and waa eo restless and
worried that sleep waa out of the
question. After taking one bottle of
Dr. Miles' Nervine I felt wonderfully
changed. I am now on my third bot
tle and am gaining all the time. X
can lie down end aleep like & child. -and
am able to do my work."
