He Is a member of tha majority fno tlou. which la opposed to almost everything Mayor Lane and the minor ity favor. Mr. Kellaher Is a Blanch friend or tho Mayor and la a member of the minority. Mr. Haker contends that It la unfair for tha city to order firemen stationed In the theaters and then compel the theater management to pay the bill. He says that there Is no need for fire men In theaters here. The ordinance la tho result of a suggestion made by Marcus A. Kleisch ner, of tho Executive Hoard. 8c vera, I weeks ago he Introduced H resolution In the Board meeting, seeking to se cure firemen for the theaters. T. O.

HURLBURT GAINING. Now Conceded StroiiRCst Candidate for Stt Knllrond CoinmlHNlotior. With the approach of the primary elec tion the tide of public sentiment Is turn ing toward V. H.

Tne trumped up choree that Mr. Hurl-hurt Is the can didate of the railroad Intcrests-the only charge that hla most active opponent could conjure up to Injure him has been exploded and fnllen flat. The publlo now generally knows that Mr. Unrlbnrt Is perhaps the most independent candidate In tho race and that he Is not the candi date of any class, community or Interest. Tlie public also knows that ho 1s not In any way connected with, or Interested In. any transportation company, either di rectly or Indirectly, and that If elected to the off.-e he will perform his duties with out fear or favor. What. In the eyes of Intelligent voters, Is n source of special strength to Mr. Hurlburfs candidacy Is his expert knowl edge of transportation problems In their various relations to employes, shippers and the traveling public, miring -the 35 rears he haa been In the railroad service, In every department construction, oper ating and traffic he hns acquired a fund of knowledge that must be of Inestimable value to a Railroad Commission.

The annual meeting of tho directors of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad printed and at noon this banner and Kelly appeared at the restaurant, taking up a position near the entrance. The banner announced that th restaurant was "unfair- and advised union men not to patronize it. Just at that time hundreds of union men were on their way to lunch and they began collecting in front of the place. There were hoots and jeer and catcalls which kept up until Scheerer rushed out of his place in a rape and attacked Kelly. Kelly struck at his assailant with the banner but did no damage. Scheerer struck his tormentor several blows before bing pulled away . by the crowd. Scheerer's assistant then rushed out of the restaurant and demolished the union banner before he could be prevented. It was at this auspicious moment that the police arrived. The crowd was getting noisy and bad natured but no effort was made to resist the policemen. In ten minutes the street was cleared.
