CANDIDATES FIGHT
SHY OF PLEDGE 37
Would-Be Washington Legis
lators Inclined to Ignore
" Primary Law.
ALTERS SENATORIAL FIGHT
Vnless Sentiment Changed, Majority
of Next Legislature May Be
Free to Choose In Nam
ing Ankeny's Successor.
OLTMPIA, July 19. (Special.) Filings
of declarations of candidacy for Legis
lative positions on the Republican ticket,
which began July 10, have thrown a new
light upon the proposal of Congressman
Wesley L. Jones, made in the latter part
of June, that Senator Levi Ankeny and
he sign a compact providing for the with
drawal of the loser of the preference
vote in the primaries from the Senatorial
election content to be held by the Legis
lature next January.
Candidates for Legislative positions are
not yet falling over themselves to sub
scribe to the Section 37 pledge, declaring
their purpose to "always vote for the
candidate for United States Senator who
has received the highest number of
votes" upon their party ticket.
Unless public sentiment becomes more
demonstrative concerning this feature of
the direct primary law. it is well within
the range of possibilities that a majority
of the members of the next Legislature
will not be subscribers to the pledge.
Of the 107 members of the Legislature,
but 86 are to be elected this year. In
the Senate there are 21 hold-over Sen
ators, three of whom are Democrats.
These hold-over Senators, not having
been elected under the provisions of the
primary law. are not pledged to vote for
the party choice for United States Sen
ator. A majority of the Legislature is
64. Therefore the election of 33 unpledged
Senators and Representatives would
make up a majority of unpledged mem
bers, or If the three Democratic hold
overs are eliminated from consideration,
the election of 36 unpledged Republicans
would make the election possible of a
candidate for the United States Senate
who failed to receive the popular vote.
Politicians Play Wise Game.
While Congressman Jones' supporters
are apparently anxious to rest his case
with the voters, the more astute poli
ticians who are guiding the destinies of
the Ankeny fight have avoided, by ad
vising hirn to refuse to enter Into the
compact, the very dangerous possibility
of eliminating both candidates from suc
cess In the election by the Legislature.
While In declining to enter into the
compact, Senator Ankeny gave several
rearons for not pledging himself to with
draw from the race in the event he fails
to obtain the majority of the popular
vote, it has become understood that there
were weightier and thoroughly honorable
motives back of his refusal that were
not mentioned.
Such a compact might result in an 11
lustration of the old story of two dogs
quarreling over a bone until a third ran
away with It. There la nothing In the
law of this state that prevents a person
whose name does not appear upon the
primary election ticket as a candidate for
the United States Senate from becoming
a candidate and submitting his chances
to the Legislature.
The apathy of the candidates and vot
ers concerning the Section 37 pledge now
Illustrates that the entering into of such
a compact as that proposed by Jones
would have been equivalent to the as
sumption by the Senatorial candidates
themselves of the pledge which the law
provides may be subscribed to by the
candidates for the Legislature.
W hat Compact Would Do.
With such a compact in force, the in
terest that now exists in candidates for
the Legislature subscribing to the pledge
would not prevail and it would be prac
tically a certainty that a majority of the
members of the Legislature would be
elected without being bound to vote for
either Jones or Ankeny.
In such an event a dark horse could
enter the race with good chances of win
ning. If a man of prominence In the
state, he would have not only his per
sonal following, but very likely that of
the one of the two candidates who was
defeated In the popular choice contest.
Politicians claim that Senator Ankeny.
In refusing to enter into the compact
proposed by Mr. Jones, has not only
saved himself from the possibility of a
defeat by a third person, but probably
has done Mr. Jones a kindness.
Senator Ankeny, In his reply to Con
gressman Jones, and in previous utter
ances, has very plainly declared himself
to be in accord with the features of the
primary law rertalnlng to the choice of
United States Senators. It is not believed
by the honest element of the Jones fac
tion that Senator Ankeny will go before
the Legislature seeking election if the
voters of the state approve the primary
law by electing a majority of pledged
members of the Legislature and express
a choice for Mr. Jones.
Foresaw Third Candidate.
But there is a pretty strong suspicion
among the Ankeny men that Jones' ad
visers had In view this possibility of a
third candidate entering the race after
the primary election when they induced
him to propose to Senator Ankeny that
the loser at the polls withdraw.
Among the Jones supporters are num
bered some of Ankeny's bitterest ene
mies, who are believed to be supporting
Jones, not so much because of love for
him as because of hatred for Ankeny.
Among the Jones adherents is one. at'
least, who possesses a consuming desire
to be elected again United States Sen
ator. While It is not likely that so lone as
there is a possibility of electing Jones
there will be any defection from the
ranks of the Congressman's supporters,
some of his followers. It Is believed by
Senator Ankeny's friends, would not hesi
tate to seek the latter's defeat If Jones
retired from the fight under the terms of
the compact proposed by him.
With an unpledged majority of the
Legislature, and Jones defeated at the
polls, the Ankeny men believe that it
would be almost certain that the con
test would again result in the old and
bitter fight between Senator Ankeny and
ex-United States Senator John L. Wil
son. HITS WIFEWITH CHAIR
Another Chapter in Polish Romance
at Oregon City.
OREGON CITT. Or.. July 19. (Special.)
Antone Macizskis was arrested today by
Constable Miles, charged with assault
and battery. His wife stated that he hit
hr over the head with a chair. Mart is-
kis deposited 00 cash ball for his ap
pearance tomorrow. His arrest is the
sequel of a shooting affray last Tuesday
night, when Peter Brelltus, whose fancy
for the wife of Macizskis is evidently re
turned by the woman, went to the house
where the pair were staying. An ex
change of hard words resulted in some
wild shooting and the arrest of Brellius
and Folosko Danneserwaus. brother of
the woman, who is favoring Brellius. The
men were arrested on a charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon, though the
shot? went wild.
Macizskis offers to put up bail for the
release of his wife's brother, but she
will not agree unless Brellius is also re
leased. Macizskis says that his wife pre
fers Brellius and she can have him. The
participants in the family quarrel are
Poles and came here a few weeks ago.

OREGON CHERRIES BARRELLED FOR SHIPMENT TO
THE EAST
EUGENE, Or., July 19. (Special.) The accompanying cut, from a
photograph taken for The Oregonian, showe a barrel of cherries
preserved and ready to seal, at the Eugene cannery, where the
canning and packing of cherries is at its height. The Lane County
Fruitgrowers' Association will preserve hundreds of barrels of cher
ries this year, to ship East, to be used by preserving concerns! who rec
ognize the Willamette Valley cherry as the equal of any in the world.
The present season has not been very satisfactory for the grower
who wishes to dispose of his green fruit. The crop has been fine la
yield and quality, but prices are much lower than last year. The mem
bers of the fruit association, however, will get all there is in the
fruit, and most of their crop is being packed, canned or preserved, so
that it will keep until there to a chance for improvement in the market.
The Royal Anne is the most famous variety for this section of the
country. .'

YACHT LIMINE WINNER
TAKES TRAXS - PACIFIC RACE,

Hawallans Disappointed Losers, bnt
They Turn to and Entertain
the Victors.
HONOLULU. July 19. After a compu
tation of the time made by each vessel
and taking out the handicap allowances,
the officials today declared the yacht
Lurline. of the South Coast Yacht Club
of Southern California, the .victor in the
Trans-Paclflc yacht race, from San
Pedro, Cal.. to this port.
The Lurline arrived here at 9:34 A. M.
yesterday and the other three yachts
arrived today within six hours of each
other. The corrected time of the yachts
was as follows:
Lurline. 13 days 21 hours 31 minutes
43 seconds.
Gwendolyn II. (Seattle Tacht Club) 14
davs 14 hours 7 minutes S seconds.
Lady Maud (San Diego Yacht Club) 1
days. 16 hours 57 minutes 9 2-5 seconds.
Hawaii (Hawaiian Yacht Club) 14 days',
IS hours 46 minutes.
On July 6 and 7. on the way over, the
Gwendolyn and Lady Maud sailed in
company. 'The best day's run made by
the Gwendolyn was 194 miles, which she
made on July 16. The Lurline made 225
miles on July 12.
There is great disappointment here that
the Hawaii did not win the race. Cap
tain Harris of the Hawaii, says his ves
sel is a fine boat, although she lost the
race. He claims that the Hawaii lost at
the start. The best daily run was 200
miles.
The Lady Maud proved a surprise to
her crew in light winds. With her upper
running gear and topmast carried away
she did remarkably well, her best daily
run being 190 miles.
The parties that sailed aboard the vis
iting yachts are being entertained by the
local yachtsmen. The Lurline will re
main here ten days, and during that
time the party aboard will visit the vol
cano.

of the campers have packed their tents
and left for their homes, well satisfied
with their fortnight's outing In the beau
tiful groves of Gladstone Park.
Bishop Robert Mclntyre, of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, was the central
figure today, preaching at 2 o'clock this
aiternoon. The audltorum was crowded,
which" is unusual for Sunday. His theme
was "A Godly, a Saintly, a Holy Life Is
Possible Anywhere," and he proved his
text by showing that there were saints
even in the household of Nero from the
statement of St. Paul, whom he termed
"an eye witness, giving expert and vet
eran testimony." Bishop Mclntyre said
tnat sucn a lire is in the nature of things
because a holy life could not be drowned.
It is the constitution of the human soul
because man was made In the image of

Scriptural readings and Miss Frances
Gage, who has had charge of the Young
Vv omen s Christian Association head-
ouarters here, made an address on the
subject or -her mission work among the
Chinese.
The Willamette girls sang tonight and

There Was organized on the grounds
yesterday afternoon an association of
members of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and Woman's Relief Corps, having
for its object an annual reunion of vet
erans at Chautauqua. Past Department

A. Williams was chosen secretary. Com
mittees on reception and programme were
appointed and every year during the
Chautauqua Assembly, on Patriotic day
the veterans and their wives will

days and deeds of history.
It would not be just to give the last
account of the 1908 session, without a
word of appreciation for Harvey E.
Cross, secretary of the assembly, and
coast manager of talent for the four
Pacific Coast Chautauquas. He has car
ried on his -shoulders the work of the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua and Is
deserving of the major share of the

Salem team of the Tri-Clty League will
be before the grand Jury tomorrow at the

BULLETIN NO. 8
Motormen and Conductors
During the year ending December 31, 1907, over SO.000.000 people.
Including transfer passengers, rode on the cars of this system. This
gives a good Idea of the responsibility that devolves upon motormen
and conductors of the various lines, and Indicates the care that must
be exercised In the selection of men for these positions.
The closest attention Is paid to this branch of the business of the
Transportation Department, because It Is realized that it Is -necessary
to have men who can be relied upon to meet any and all emergencies,
as well as to go through the day's work with a pleasant and accommo
dating spirit. Rules have been adopted regulating the employment of
men for these places, which reduce to a minimum the chance for an
incompetent person to secure a position on the cars.
EMPLOYING MOTORMEN AND CONDUCTORS.
The course that applicants go through is very interesting, showing
as It does the care taken to get good men. The Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company employs over 800 carmen. Applications for
positions as motormen and conductors are received at the offices of
the Superintendents of Transportation, at -First and Alder streets ' and
Fast Water street and Hawthorne avenue. Applicants are received per
sonally by the Superintendents, and applications are accepted from those
giving suitable references. The applicant Is then subjected to an exam
ination by the company's physician as to his general physical condition,
and particularly as to his eyesight. After the examination is con
cluded, the physician's certificate is returned to the Superintendent,
and, it satisfactory, the applicant Is eligible for employment. A com
plete record of the applicants is kept, and as fa, as they are needed
they are placed under the Instruction of competent men familiar with
very detail of the duties which they will be required to perform.
, INSTRUCTION OF MOTORMEN AND CONDUCTORS,
An applicant for position, after having been examined and found
physically suitable. Is placed In charge of a competent motorman or
conductor, who gives him thorough instruction; first, regarding the na
ture of the vehicle and apparatus thereon which he Is to handle. Later
the operation of the car is placed gradually In the hands of the student
under the direct supervision of the Instructors. This period of Instruc
tion covers from ten days to three weeks, after which the student is
examined by the General Inspector, who files a certificate of efficiency
with the Superintendent. If this is satisfactory to the Superintendent,
the applicant then receives further instructions from the General In
spector and later from the General Office. From this latter point he
receives information regarding accidents and kindred subjects, and Is
thoroughly examined In order to determine his general efficiency for
the position he is to fill. If he successfully passes this examination, a
certificate is issued which he files with the General Inspector, and his
name Is then entered on the eligible list. i
The details of Instruction cover for a motorman: first the general
rules of the company: and second detailed Information regarding tne
nature of the apparatus upon the cars and the methods of handling the
same with the highest economy of time, power consumed, wear and tear
on equipment and other similar points; also with regard to tne sarety,
comfort and convenience of passengers.
For conductors: first the general rules of the company: ana sec
ond signals, issuance of transfers, names of streets, locations of narks,
public buildings, railroad stations, steamboat wharves and other points
upon which passengers may require information.
WHAT THE COMPANY REQUIRES OF ITS MEN.
One of the most Important requirements from the street railway's
point of view is that all employes shall be courteous to passengers and
patient at all times. The position of a public service employe Is fre
quently a trying one. Some people feel that they have a right to abuse
him. At times it becomes necessary to dismiss men. This may be for
any one of manv reasons. While men may otherwise be competent,
their manner mav be discourteous to passengers, or they may not pos
sess the requisite patience. Discourtesy, laziness, complaints of pas
sengers, lack of Interest and the manv things which render men In
competent in other lines, make them undesirable for employment by the
railway company.
MERIT AND DEMERIT SYSTEM.
After employment It is endeavored to hold the best men in the
company's employ. Wages are adjusted according to the term of serv
ice A system of Discipline by Record is employed, under which the
carmen receive credit marks for meritorious acts, such as exceptionally
good operation, avoiding accidents, deeds of valor, etc. Conversely,
demerit marks are placed against their records covering Infractions of
rules In proportion to the nature of the offense. This system is of
recent adoption, being placed In effect May 15. 1908. and has been
adODted In lieu of the old system of suspension, which caused a loss
of time to thl employe and suffering to both him and his family. The
effect is already noticeable and its continuance will, it is believed,,
rapidly Increase the efficiency and morale of the platform men.
