.Saloon AVins on East Side.
The saloon men won a decisive vic
tory over the local option forces on
the East Side. With the exception of
St. John; which was linked with Uni
versity Park, and the further exception
of Falrvlew, every precinct in which
elections were held was carried by the
saloon people. The St. John district
goes "dry" by a majority of 24 votes.
The saloons were voted out of Falrvlew
by a majority of 3. In the district em
bracing Precincts 42, 43, 44, 46 and 47
(Sellwood and Brooklyn), the "wets"
carried the day by a majority of 400,
the vote being: For, 614; against, 914.
Kach of these precincts gave a ma
jority against the anti-saloon workers.
In the subdivisions composed of Pre
cincts 52, 62, 63, 69, 71, 72,' 74, 75, 76, 77,
78 and 79, the saloon men scored another
victory. The vote follows. For, 11S5;
against. 2440. These precincts ara
all located on the East Side. In
Precinct 72, East Seventh and Broad
way streets, the citizens were equally
divided ,on the local option question.
The vote was 105 for and 105 against,
making the precinct dry. As this pre
cinct was linked with others In the sub
division, the vote is of no particular
significance, but If it alone had been
voting, the tie vote would have pre
sented an Interesting complication.
Complete Vote on Saloons.
The complete unofficial vote In this
combination of precincts was:
Precinct. For. Against.

Mr. Cake has carried 19 counties
and Mr. Chamberlain 13, counting
Douglas a tie. The state at large,
outside of Multnomah, on the vote so
far at hand has given Chamberlain a
plurality of 652. In the following: ta
ble 17 counties out of 33 are complete
and most of the others are practically
complete. It Is not probable that the
final returns will mane a difference of
more than 100 votes In Governor
Chamberlan's plurality one way or the
other. ,
On the West Side, Precinct 3 alone voted
on the saloon question and will remain
wet by a vote of 61 for to 183 against.
The same result attended the election In
Precinct 67, which gave 93 for prohibi
tion and 127 against. Precincts 99 (Fair
view) and 102 (Troutdale) voted Jointly
and were carried by the liquor men by
the following vote: For, 125; against, 141.
Precincts 100 (Rockwood) and 101 (Gresh
am remain wet by the following vote:
For, 157; against, 178.
Mount Scott Annexation Beaten.
Annexation of the four sections in the
Mount Scott district to Portland was de
feated at the election Monday by a ma
jority of 114. The vote cast In the four
precincts involved was as follows:
Precinct No. 04, Woodstock For annexa
tion, 71; against annexation, 140; majority In
precinct against annexation, 69.
Precinct No. Ptl. South Mount Tabor, on the
north side of the Foster road For annexa
tion. 206: against. 28$; majority against an
nexation. 82.
Precinct No. 115, Ana.be! and Stewarts, south
side of the Foster road For annexation, 165;
amine. 136: majority for annexation. 1.
Precinct No. 97, I.ents, where few voted
For annexation, M: against, 37; majority -for
annexation. 17.
The total number of votes cast for an
nexation was 486, and 600 votes were cast
against annexation. However, the sur
prise is in the big majority cast against
annexation at Woodstock, where practi
cally the vote was two to one against
annexation. The two polling places in
precincts 95 and 96 were close together,
only being separated by the Foster road,
and In 95 there was a majority for an
nexation, while in 96 th6 vote was heavily
against it.
City Escapes Responsibility.
It is very likely the city escaped a con
siderable responsibility over the defeat of
annexation at this time. Whatever gain
there appeared to ba in annexation was
for the people In that territory, and not
for Portland as a whole. The Portland
School District received the school dis
tricts located In this territory and has
already erected a $45,000 schoolhouse for
the district at Arleta, which voted
against annexation a sum probably much
larger than it will collect from that sec
tion in several years' time.
This territory voted almost unanimous
ly to be annexed to tho Portland dis
15
trict, but went against annexation to the
city for the reason that a considerable
majority of the residents feared It would
increase their taxes to come into the city.
They also voted their school district into
the city to get a fine, modern school
house, which they could not build them
selves, and got it.
O. N. Ford, president of the Mount
Scott Annexation Club, said yesterday,
when the result became known beyond
question, that another annexation cam
paign will be begun next week In order
to secure another vote at annexation In
the Fall. He said petitions for this pur
pose would be circulated at once, the
fight again started and kept up until the
district is finally annexed to Portland.
Annexation of a district one mile long
and half a mile wide, adjoining Monta
vllla on the east, was defeated by a
majority of six votes.

PORTLAND, June 3.-(To the Editor.)
I desire to express my appreciation to
the voters who supported me In the elec
tion Monday. The registered Republican
vote waa 25,867, and the Democratic vote
6574. The vote actually cast was about
28,000. On the ratio of the registered vote
I therefore had to overcome a majority of
22.000. or about four votes to one. That
I reduced this vote to a majority of about
2500 Is evidence to me, despite those po
litical considerations whlclj are a constant
element, in all elections, that the people
of Multnomah County really approve the
course I have pursued In my office. That
is of more public Importance than my
election. I have every confidence that Mr.
Cameron, who is a reputable lawyer, will
be as firm In the policy of public order
and decency, afiin the Impartial admin
istration of the criminal law, as I have
tried to be, and I bespeak for him in
advance that approval of the good people
of this county which an honest service
deserves. JOHN MANNING.

OLDEST PIONEER
OFTHE CITY DEAD
William L. Higgins, Who Lived
in Portland Since 1850,
Passes Away.
CAME BEFORE TOWN NAMED
First Arrived In Columbia Klver in
Sailing Vessel in 1843 and Trad
ed With the Indiana Inter
esting Reminiscences.
William Luther Higgins. Portland's old
est pioneer resident, died at his home, 508
Broadway, early yesterday morning. He
first visited the Columbia River region in
1843 and had lived in Portland continu
ously since 1850. He was 86 years of age
and death came as the result of the weak
ness of age. The funeral will probably be
held from the First Presbyterian Church
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, although
arrangements had not been decided defi
nitely last night.
Mr. Higgins leaves three sons F. D.
and James A. Higgins, of this city, and
' & ; - o j- - -
V- "i ' -
J. W. Higgins, of Spokane and three
daughters Mrs. H. W. Hall and Miss Al
ice S. Higgins, of Portland, and Mrs. W.
B. Addy, of Spokane. James A. Higgins
is manager of the grocery department at
the store of Meier & Frank Company.
Miss Higgins Is a teacher In the Failing
School.
Mr. Higgins was born in Rhode Island
in the year 1812. He came to the Colum
bia River as one of the crew of the brig
Chenamus, Captain John H. Couch. The
Chenamus sailed from Newburyport. In
the Fall of 1842 and arrived here the fol
lowing Spring. In speaking of this voy
age Mr. Higgins. In describing It not
long ago to a friend, said:
'The only person I remember as a resi
dent of the Columbia River district at
that time was Mr. Barney, an employe
of the Hudson's Bay Company. We lit
tle thought at that time that this terri
tory would have euch a great develop
ment, although we recognized that It
would have a splendid future.
'We sailed up the river and unloaded a
house, knocked down, at Skamokawa.
Thle house was built In Newburyport to
be used as a trading store at the Indian
village. Then we engaged in salmon
packing and merchandising with the In
dians and fishermen. We proceeded from
there Into the Willamette River, dis
charging trade cargo at Oregon City, and
erected a trading-house there for Mr.
Wilson, one of the young men who came
as a messenger on the Chenamus.
"At Willamette Falls we employd
Indians to catch and cure salmon
for some time. At Skamokawa, we
took on board a cargo of salmon and
sailed for the Sandwich Islands and
thence went back to Newburyport.
Before we left the Willamette river,
we were visited by Rev. Jason Lee. a
Methodist missionary, and while an
chored off the mouth of the Cowlitz,
there came on board Dr. Richmond and
his wife and family. One of Dr. Rich
mond's daughters now lives in Lower
Albina.
"On my first trip to this country, the
only places inhabited were Vancouver,
Oregon City and Astoria, all In charge
of agents for the Hudson's Bay Com
pany. I came back to Portland to re
man In 1850. I married here in 1852
and have never left since. I have
never revisited my old home. Provi
dence. R. I.
"Portland was not yet on the map
when I visited the site of the city
first. Pettygrove did not found the
city until 1845. The only resident I
remember was William Johnson, em
ployed by the Hudson's Bay Company,
who had an Indian wife and two sons
and lived In the first house built here,
which was located in South Portland,
on block- 137, between Hood and Ma
cadam streets. Mayor Lane and the
Council. I think, should erect a monu
ment there to show where the first
house in this city stood."
Mr." Higgins played a prominent
part In the development of this city
and had followed the business of a
carpenter and contractor.
A few months ago, Mr. Higgns was
a guest at a birthday celebration given
by John C. Carson, at which Judge
George H. Williams was the third of
the trio of pioneers who did so much
to build up this section of the country.
The older residents of the city, and
particularly those pioneers who came
to Portland In the early days, were
well acquainted with Mr. Higgins and
attribute to him many sterling quali
ties that account for his success in
life.
GREAT FIRE SPECTACLE
"Eruption of Vesuvius" on Multno
mah Field Sight Worth Seeing.
The "Eruption of Mount Vesuvius."
as presented at Multnomah Field every
night this week by the famous pyro
technist. Pain, is much more than a
mere amusement venture; It is a re
enactment of one of the moet tragic
episodes of modern times, pictured in
lines of fire and tones of thunder.
The spectator sees before him, within
the great amphitheater at Twentieth
and Washington streets, a mimic city,
covering several acres of ground, with
real massive buildings, palaces, archee
and other characteristic specimens of
Neapolitan architecture In the fore
ground, and grim old Mount Vesuvius

towering high above the Ill-fated city;
Imposing pageants, exciting acrobatic
sports, pretty marches, and numerous
Interesting dramatic Incidents told In
pantomime.
In the midst of these festivities he
hears the awful grumbling of the
earthquake, and a series of tremendous
explosions that make the very earth
beneath him tremble. From the apex
of the gigantic mountain In the back
ground huge clouds of smoke burst
forth, followed by a cataclysm of real
fire and lava; the monster buildings fall
with a crash, while the hundreds of
human beings flee to safety from the
scene of carnage and destruction. The
smoke has hardly cleared above the
fallen city when the second big event
of the evening begins, a $1500 display
of Pain's most famous and beautiful
Manhattan Beach fireworks.
Tonight is naval fete at "Vesuvius."
and Is likely to be the banner night of
the week. Admiral Swinburne and of
ficers of the visiting fleet have accept
ed the management's invitation to at
tend the big spectacle tonight, and will
occupy boxes in the grandstand. Spe
cial fireworks have been prepared In
their honor, Including a large portrait
of the Admiral and a fire picture of the
Charleston. Niagara Falls in electric
fireworks will also be shown tonight,
together with 'numerous comicalities,
the big rose, magical tree, and other
set pieces.
A head-on collision of two locomo
tives is In preparation for Friday night,
and on Saturday the Portland season
of the spectacle ends.

pany and buyers on the lookout for bar
gains. Mr. Mears' mounted the block himself,
at the store, and read the report of the
inventory and also tho appraisement of
the stock made by three experts, which
placed the value of the stock at $14,612.47.
He then asked for bids and that of Wil
liam J. Bates, a local creditor, of $14,250
being the highest the entire stock was
sold to him.
This prompt closing up of the affairs
of the concern is considered by those
most interested as a wise move, for by
undertaking to sell out the stock piece
meal 30 to 60 days would have been re
quired and the expense for rental, light,
clerk hire and receiver's fee would have
eaten up at least $100 a day. With the
sale made yesterday of the whole stock
and fixtures at the figure named the
creditors will receive from 10 to 12 cents
on the $1; whereas Mr. Mears says if
time had been taken to dispose of the
stock it Is doubtful if much more than 6
cents on the $1 would have remained for
distribution.
The creditors will meet some time
within the next two weeks to elect a
trustee, who will make an apportionment
of the rnney received by the receiver.
The bankrupt firm Is supposed to have

Excellent P. S. Grant to Succeed
Fitzgerald Clerk Hennessy to
Go With District Attorney.

man who will be chief deputy, when the
new regime goes into office, Monday.
July 6. Mr. Fitzgerald is at present chief
deputy in the office of City Attorney
Kavanaugh. He will soon tender his res
ignation, to take effect July 1. Mr.
Kavanaugh expressed great regret at
the loss of Mr. Fitzgerald, and declared
him to be a most capable and conscien
tious official.
City Attorney Kavanaugh yesterday
J. jr. Fitz.uerald, Who Will Be
Chief Deputy District Attor
ney. made the announcement that he will
promote Frank S. Grant to the position
of chief deputy, soon to be left vacant
by Mr. Fitzgerald. Mr. Grant, it is said,

Tomlinson. at present the Deputy City
Attorney in the Municipal Court, will be
transferred to other duties, including the
Courthouse work and office assignments.
Mr. Kavanaugh will appoint a new man
for Police Court cases.
Promotion Is Merited.
Mr. Fltzgeralds promotion Is the logi
cal outcome of years of faithful service
as a prosecutor In the District and City
Attorney's "offices. He served as a dep
uty during the regime of ex-District At
torneys Lord and Hume, and was later
appointed as a deputy In the office of
City Attorney McNary. When Mr. Kav
anaugh was elected, he promoted Mr.
Fitzgerald to the position of chief dep
uty. In which capacity he Is now serving.
Mr." Fitzgerald is widely known as a law
yer of high ability, courage and faith
fulness, and his promotion at this time
comes as a direct result of his years of
conscientious service as a public official.
Mr. Grant, who will become the chief
deputy in the office" of the City Attor
ney. Is a young man of recognized abil
ity. He has been a deputy since Mr.
Kavanaugh was elected last year, and
has conducted the city business for his
department .at the City Hall principally.
The election of Judge Cameron to the
office of District Attorney will create
several important changes. He will re
sign as magistrate in the Police Court
in a short time, and It will devolve upon
Mayor Lane to appoint a successor.
Haney May Be Police Judge.
It Is said that Bert E. Haney, at pres
ent a deputy In the office of District At-
Frank S. Grant, Promoted to the
Position of thlrt Deputy City
Attorney.
torney Manning, stands an excellent
chance of receiving the position. Having
served as a prosecutor in the court, and
knowing its needs, it is said, is a feature
greatly in his favor. He is highly rec
ommended for the place. Since his ap
pointment by Mr. Manning he has shown
marked ability and has won an enviable
reputation for faithfulness.
Others prominently mentioned for the
appointment as Municipal Judge are John
Van Zante. V. K. Strode, Charles A. Re
train and Oglesby Young, all Democrats.
It was rumored that Councilman W. T.
Vaughn. Democratic leader of the minor
ity faction In the Council, desired the
place, but he authorized the statement
that he could not accept the appointment
even if tendered him. because he feels
it to be his duty to serve out his
term, which does not end until July 1.
190D, in the Council.
Stevenson May Succeed Hennessy.

the office of District Attorney, when
Judge Cameron takes charge. Should
Mr. Haney be the successful applicant,
it is said to be quite likely that he will
select John H. Stevenson as his clerk.
Mr. Stevenson Is at present a deputy in
the District Attorney's office.
District Attorney-elect Cameron will
have the appointment of five deputies.
He will probably resign Municipal
Judge within a few days, in order that
he may prepare to enter upon his new
duties July 6. Mayor Lane was not In a
position yesterday to make any state
ment as to the person who will succeed
as Judge when Mr. Carmeron steps out.
He Is considering the fitness of the vari
ous candidates.
IMPORTANT BENEFITS TO TIIE
CHURCH IX THIS STATE.
'ev Conference District to Have Its
Headquarters in Portland.
Advocate to Continue.
The Pacific Northwest won -some big
victories at the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. " just
held in Baltimore, and Portland was
especially fortunate. A 15th general
conference district was ordered and
the continuation of the publication of
the Pacific Christian Advocate in this
city was authorized. Dr. D. L. Rader
being re-elected as editor.
Probably the most sweeping and Im
portant piece of legislation was the
act of the general conference, remov
ing the probationary period of mem
bership In the church. This Is a rad
ical move, but one which Is generally
regarded as a wise step. It leaves great
discretionary powers with the official
boards and the pastors in all the
charges, and in eases of peculiar char
acter, the board may exercise Judg
ment as to probation; the board may
demand, If justified, but otherwise a
person may be admitted to full mem
bership under the new law, whereas,
heretofore, six months' probation was
the requirement for all.
A large number of Methodises are
particularly delighted that the grow
ing importance of the Northwest waa
finally recognized by the general con
ference, to the extent that an addi
tional general conference district was
authorized, which will include terri
tory as yet not definitely known here;
Just what the boundaries of the new
district are has not been determined.
This new district will give the Coast
more Influence and prestige with the
general boards and will bring more
money for mission work in this por
tion of the country.
The effort to remove from Portland
the Pacific Christian Advocate and to
combine It with the California Chris
tian Advocate, failed because of the
rapid growth of the Pacific Advocate
in the last four years, and more espe
cially the past two years. Dr. Rader.
the editor, suffered a severe Impair
ment of health during the first two
years. of his work, and was obliged to
go abroad; but he recovered and re
doubled his efforts to bring up the cir
culation and prestige of the paper In
the remaining period of his time.
When the general conference met. it
was not difficult for the Northwest
delegation to secure continuation of
the publication at Portland, because of
the facts they were able to present In
its favor.
Members of the Epworth League
Chapters In the Oregon Conference and
many Methodists in general ar pleased
with the fact that the general confer
ence left unaltered the amusement
paragraph, as was urged In a large pe
tition. No modification or change was
made.
China has become the greatest mis
sion field in the world, and the general
conference recognized this fact by
creating one additional episcopal resi
dence In that great empire. Two
bishops, known as general superin
tendents, will have charge in China
this quadrennlum. one being assigned
to Foo Chow and the other to Pekin.
The reduction of field workers In the
benevolent departments of the church
Is welcomed by Methodists In general,
as the action Is In the Interest of econ
omy, and throws greater responsibili
ties upon the pastors. Many believe
this will improve the service greatly.
The general conference abolished
the title of "presiding elder," chang
ing it to "district superintendent." The
change Is not particularly important,
but Is nevertheless gratifying to
Methodists, as the new title is In con
formity with the general plan of the
church, a bishop being classed as
"general superintendent."
JEALOUS AND VERY DRUNK
Causes Which Led Ben Stanton to
Shoot Councilman Goode.
SALEM, Or., June 3. (Special.) Over
indulgence In booze is given by Ben
Stanton as the cause of his shooting
Councilman J. F. Goode last night. Stan
ton, a young man of 22, was captured
at an early hour this morning by Deputy
Sheriffs Mlnto and Esch, who found him
at the home of his brother in Capital
Addition." Toung Stanton had evidently
Intended to make a desperate fight
against capture, for he had a loaded re
volver in his hand, but had fallen asleep
on the lounge where he had lain down.
He made no resistance, however, when
he was awakened and found his weapon
gone. He was taken to the County Jail,
where he will await examination before
Justice Webster on a charge of assault
with Intent to kill. He will put up a
plea of self-defense.
According to Stanton, he shot Goode In
self-defense. He says that he had been
drinking heavily during the day.
It Is learned from Stanton's brother
that Ben was not In the habit of carry
ing a revolver, but put the weapon In
his pocket yesterday morning, and when
he left the house, remarked, "Goodbye,
you'll never see me again." Th fact
that he was formerly a lover of Mrs.
Reese strengthens the belief that Jealousy
was the cause of his act. He says that
he and Jessie Shantz were never engaged
to be married. But he admits a present
fondness for her and says that he want

Mrs. Nettie Rhoades, one of the Goode
daughters, says that while demanding
permission to talk with Mrs. Reese last
night, Stanton displayed a revolver, and
when she attempted to phone for the
police he pointed the revolver at her and
commanded her to hang up the phone.
This she did. She is firmly convinced
that Stanton desired to shoot Mrs. Reese.
Mrs. Rhoades says that when Stanton

says that Stanton began firing as soon

that the shooting may be attributed to
the Jealousy of a depraved mind excited
by alcohol.
