AUGUST 15. 1908. - 5 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, HJUIG HOPES ON E McBride's Opponents May Yet Have Chance to Win Nomination. GIVING ADVICE TO VOTERS Cosgrove and Mead Urge Supporters to Select Weaker Candidate for Second Choice Fail to Or ganize In Spokane County. BY JOE SMITH. FPOKAXE. Wash.. Aur. 14. SpeclaI. -But for the necond choice Mature of the state primary law the contest for the Republican nomination for the Ootiiot htp would, in my opinion, be too one sided in Eastern Washington to arouse serious Interest. Almost ' ceptlortVhe best Informed political serv ers agree that ex-Governor Henry Mc Brlde is far and away the leading candi date m the race, and local managers of the McBride campaign are confidently claiming that he will Ret 50 per cent of all the votes cast in the Republican pri maries on this side of the Cascades. The second choice provision, .however, with its entangling possibilities, creates a confusion which it is difficult to un tangle and gives to the other candidates their one hope of winning the nomina tion. Each and all they insist that Mc Bride will not receive the necessary 40 per cent of first choice votes to nominate him. and each and all they Insist that thev will lead all competitors in the number of their second choice votes. S. G. Cosgrove. who is quite generally looked upon in Eastern Washington as second hish man. went all through the early part of his campaign bidding for second choice votes, so much so that he began to be referred to as the "second choice can didate." an appellation which he now protests against as unmerited and unjust. Second Choice May Decide. Even yet. however. Mr. Cosgrove con tinues of the opinion that the second choice vote will be necessary to decide the contest, as evidenced by the fact that he has been advising his immediate supporters to throw away their second choice votes upon one of the weaker can didates. When asked to specify the name of the candidate, he suggests that they vote on second choice for W. M. Ridpath. Mr. Ridpath is taking advantage of this situation and is canvassing for the sec ond choice votes of the CosRrove men upon Mr. Coegrove's recommendation. Despite the energetic efforts made by his opponents along the same line. Mc Bride is the only candidate in the race who has succeeded in perfecting an ef fective working organization in Spokane County. The McBride club was com pleted Tuesday night at a meeting at the Spokane Theater, attended by some S0 people and addressed at length by the candidate himself on the Issues of the campaign, and starts off with some 1600 charter members. Dr. W. H. Allen, pres ident of the local school board. Is presi dent, and its leading spirits are the same men .who carried the McBride campaign In this county four years ago to its dramatic triumph In the county conven tion before the powerful opposition of the railroad forces. Among theme are Gordon C. Corbaley. Charles P. Lund, Seabury and J. W. Merritt. Joseph B. Lindsay. Dr. W. J. Howells. Adolph Munter. Arthur W. Davis and Jacob Schiller. Get No Foothold In Spokane. Both Mr. Cosgrove and Governor Mead have been endeavoring for several weeks to get a foothold in this county for the establishment of an active or ganization, but in both cases without suc cess. When the Mead forces organized at Seattle, some three weeks ago, for the state-wide work. L. P. Hornberger, a Mead appointee on the A. Y. P. expo sition commission, was called from this city to take charge of the organization. He returned to Spokane and spent the greater portion of two days trying to establish a Mead headquarters here, re turning to Seattle without having suc ceeded. The local management of Mead's campaign was offered by him to D. M. Thompson, a local real estate man and member of the last Legislature, who de clined It as being both a hopeless and a thankless undertaking. Thompson Is now supporting McBride. Other local Mead supporters of prominence are so dis couraged at the prospect of accomplish ing anything for their favorite In the Gubernatorial race that they prefer to avoid aetlx-e politics entirely, or else da vote their energies to furthering the cam paign of some favorite for some other office. About the same time that Thompson was offered the management of the Mead campaign, Mr. Cosgrove wrote from Seattle urging Thomas E. Heddle to take charge here of organizing and promoting the Cosgrove movement. Mr. Heddle replied that he had already been engaged to manage the publicity rampaign of T. D. Rockwell for the Congressional nomination, and de clined. Mr. Cosgrove has since-visited Spokane, but If he has succeeded in establishing a local branch of his Seattle- office !t has not yet burst Into the open with any announcement of Its designs. Some Hope for Democrats. Aside from these three candidates, the other contestants for the nomina tion are not looked upon as danger ous antagonists, though the second choice provision makes every aspirant whose name is on the ballot a possible winner of the nomination. Without doubt It is the Intention of scores of voters who are warmly attached to one candidate for first choice to throw their second-choice votes away on the candidate or candidates whom they look upon as the weakest. Should any considerable proportion of them pick as the weakest man the same candi date the result might possibly be the nomination of a candidate whom even the majority of those voting for him do not desire to see nominated. Such a nominee would be In grave danger of defeat at the polls, which Is the one consideration entitling the Democratic contest to serious consideration at this stage of the proceedings. Of the four Democratic candidates, politicians pick "Jack" Splawn for the winner, though Mayor Pattlson has made and Is making a vigorous cam paign and promises to run hlrS a close if not successful race. The strength of William Blackman Is chiefly among the organised labor vote of the state. Is looked upon by politicians as an un known quantity, and might possibly prove an astonishment. Dr. Byrne, since his declaration In favor of per sonal liberty. Is looked upon as al ready defeated, except possibly upon a second-choice fluke. Mead's Campaign Lacks Ginger. Reports upon the Republican con- teat Xrou outside Eastern JVashJagtonJ SECOND CHDIC - counties Indicate that the situation in Spokane Is characteristic of that gen erally on this side of the mountains. Activity in the Interests of Governor Mead is reported from Stevens, Lin coln, Okanogan and Kittitas Counties, and from Watervllle in Douglas Coun ty. In many. If not in most Instances, It is conducted or Inspired by ap pointees of the Governor. McBride managers here concede Cosgrove the three counties south of" Snake River other than Walla Walla. In Walla Walla both of the old-time factions are supporting the ex-Governor, the only opposition being a small but in tensively active Cosgrove organization under the leadership of Eugene Lorton. In Whitman County Cosgrove Is put ting up a serious contest against the McBride forces, but it is but loosely organized, if at all, while the McBride organization, under the management of Its old-time leader, U. L. Ettinger, is waging an aggressive campaign, Mr. Ettinger claiming' the county for his candidate by 60 per cent of all Re publican votes cast. In Yakima County the Inauguration of an aggressive McBride campaign was delayed for a while by the per sistent charge made by opposition can didates that McBride had entered into an alliance with Senator Ankeny against Congressman Jones, but this bit of moonshine is no longer given KArloim consideration, and nme of the closest supporters of Jones there are now supporting McBride. Cosgrove has some strength in all of the Yakima Valley Counties, but In none of them has it assumed serious proportions. GIBBONS INTERVIEWS POPE Head of Catholic Church Expresses Friendship for America. ROME. Aug. 14. Cardinal Gibbons had his farewell audience with the. Pope to day in the latter's private library. The cardinal thanked the pontiff for having granted him all that he asked for from the propaganda and from the Vatican. and the Pope replied that where the in terest of the church in America was con cerned nothing ever would be denied. In conclusion the Pope expressed the hope that he would see Cardinal Gibbons soon again. The Pope again- expressed his eatlsfae tlon with the progress of the Catholic Church in America. He praised the way in which the gospel is preached . there, and said he was preparing a strong let ter recommending the Apostolic Mission House. In Washington, which he would send to the cardinal later. After leaving the Pope, Cardinal Gib bons paid a farewell call upon Cardinal Merry del Val. the papal secretary of state, who came purposely from Castle Gondalfo for this meeting. PROTEST ON HIGH RATES Southeastern Shippers Will Com' plain to Interstate Commission. WASHINGTON'. Aug. 14. Strong pro tests against the action of the railroads In the Southeastern territory in putting Into effect August 1 increased rates on grain, grain products, fresh meats, pack ing house products and hay will be lodged with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion within the next two or three days on behalf of the State Railroad Commis sion of Alabama. This protest will be brought to the attention of the commis sion in a formal complaint against those railroads somewhat similar to the one filed recently with the commission by the A. P. Morgan Grain Company, of Atlanta. Ga-, and a few others, and it is believed will be couched in more vigorous lan guage. EDITH LUDWIG IS WEDDED (Continued From FMrat Pm.) Wednesday, tired and forlorn. He had fx Dec ted to take the long trip across the continent under different conditions. He and Miss Ludwlg had planned it all toe-ether. When he stepped on the plat form, there stood the father of the girl who had been torn from him In Chicago. "It's all right; don't worry about It," were the man's welcoming words. "It's all right, I tell "you." "But I don't understand. Ethel is back somewhere with her mother,-" was Profes sor Fitzgerald's reply. 'Well, read this and you will see, lauehed the fatner. thrusting a telegram in his hand. Professor Fitzgerald read. It read something like this: "T am lust leaving Chicago. Meet Fred, who will reach . Palo Alto Wednesday evening. Let him know I am coming." Then the two men shook hands again. Will Not Discuss Chloroform. Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald refused to make anv statement when seen after their marriage. They said that they did not care to discuss their plans, but Mrs. Fitzgerald did say that she did not care if the whole world knew she is married to the man she loves. She said the newspapers had followed her pretty closely for the last eeveral days and that they have left very little untold that has happened to her. She refused to discuss the trouble she had with her mother and would not affirm or deny the story that Mrs. Ludwlg had chloroformed her in an endeavor to keep her from coming west to marry Professor Fitzgerald. Mother Gave Consent. Dr. Fitzgerald tonight gave out an in terview In which he stated that the re ports that his wife had fled from Chicago In order to outwit her mother are false, saying that Mrs. Ludwlg accompanied the girl to the station and consented to her coming to this city to marry him. He also said that they will remain In Sacra mento several days, and will then depart for San Francisco, where they will make their home. FATHER GLAD AS DAUGHTER Withholds Judgment on Wife Till He Hears Facts. PALO ALTO, Cal.. Aug. 14. When Mr. Ludwlg heard by telegram that his daughter and Dr. Fitzgerald were at last married, he said: "I hold no animosity against my wife for this affair. Her actions were pe culiar, but I withhold Judgment on the case till I learn what really did or did not happen. "Mr. Fitzgerald will live in Palo Alto till the first of the month and then will probably move to the city. They are married now, and if Palo Alto wasn't a dry town, I'd say, "Let's have a drink.' " Xo Danger of Car Shortage. ST. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. 14. Talk of a car famine this Fall that will tie up grain movement and heavy Fall traffic is unfounded, according to local railroad men. who say there Is no cause for alarm. There will be the usual shortage of cars when the heavy grain shipments commence, the same shortage that has been experienced for years past, but nothing more serious. Reports from Chicago were to the effect that the Job bing and manufacturing interests were almost over the prospect of a car famine. pclal J Aa ahqea at RvieathaJ's, ADD NORMAL WORK Course for Teachers in High School Curriculum. OPTIONAL WITH PUPILS New Course of Study Issued by State Superintendent Ackerman Also Introduces Commercial Course. SALEM. Or., Aug. 14. (Special.) The establishment of a one-year teachers' training course, to be optional with puplla in the 10th, 11th and 12tn grades, is the principal feature of the new course of study which waj Issued by Superintendent of Public Instruc tion J. H. Ackerman today, and which will be used in all Oregon public schools hereafter. The new course of study Is practical ly the same as that heretofore in use so far as the first eight grades are concerned. The new features are found In the High Schools, which com prise the ninth. 10th. 11th and 12th grades.' The new teachers" training course is not designed to take the place of Normal School work, but is provided as an aid to those High School pupils who contemplate enter ing the teaching profession, but who cannot see their way clear 10 atteno. one of the Normal Schools. Many young people now go from the High Schools Into the common schools as teachers, and it Is the purpose of the training course to fit them better for such work. AVhat Course Includes. The course Includes 14 weeks in White's "Art of Teaching." seven weeks of oh servation work, seven weeks of practice teaching, four weeks' study of the com mon school course of study, and four weeks' study of practical school prob lemS. Superintendent Ackerman expresses the opinion that this optional work win do taken by many high school pupils who will thereby be Induced to attend one of the regular normal schools. In addlltlon to this change, a two-year commercial course has been introduced for 11th and 12th year pupils. This course is practically the same as the commercial course at the Agricultural College. It will be available only in high schools of the first class. In the regular high school course bookkeeping has been made a half-year study, experience having shown that the work can be done in that time instead of taking a full year, as in the past. It will occupy the first half of the ninth. Botany has been made mandatory instead of optional In the last half of the ninth year. In both the common school and high school courses Superintendent Ackerman has added many suggestions which will be very helpful to teachers, especially to those having little experience In school work. The new course for the first time classifies high schools, the classification being as follows:- Classification of Courses. First class A high school of the first class is one having one or more Xour-year courae.a and at least three teachers devoting the whole of their time to high school work. Second class A high school of the second class is one having one or more three-year courses and at least two teachers devoting the whole of their time to high-school work. Third class A high school of the third class is one having one or more two-year courses and at least one teacher devoting the whole of her time to high-school work. Fourth class A high school of the fourth class Is one having one or more one-year courses and at least one teacher devpting the whole of her time to high-school work. Copies of the new course of study will be ready for distribution In a few days. They will be sent to County Superintend ents, who will distribute them to teach ers. PROCLAIM NEW RELIGION Chicago Carpenter and " His Wife Prophets of Cult. CHICAGO, Aug. 14. "Doubt and be damned," is the battlecry of a new re ligion, according to Mrs. Jennie Blake ley, of 773 West Sixty-third street, who, with her husband, Albert Blakeley, is promoting it. and who togetherVomprise the "Kingdom of Heaven Churches of the First-Born." The couple claim to have received a divine manifestation from the clouds 15 years ago this coming 29th day of Au gust, and they declare tnat ui win De fall anyone who discusses It before its 15th anniversary. Blakeley is a carpenter, and has been a close student of the Bible for a long time. He and his wife were formerly members of the Latter-Day Saints Church, and expect a large following from that creed and among the Jews. They filed their charter of incorpora tion in the County Recorder's office yes terday, and while it indicates that nine persons participated in the organization of the church, Mrs. Blakeley acknowl edged that she and her husband are really the only ones who "acted," and that the others were merely "present." Blakeley is named on the papers on file as "ruler" and his wife as secretary, and - the claim is made that the Al mighty elected them. The objects of the church are given as follows: "To rule and renne. "To redeem Zion. "To set up the heavenly sanctuary. "To bind up the testimony and seat the law. To work after the spiritual order of God in all divine ordinances. To establish apostles, prophets, evan gelists, pastors and teachers with funda mental principles. To gather In all Israel." JAPANESE ARE GRIEVED Regret That Okuma's Remarks Have Been Misconstrued. TOKIO, Aug. 14. Special dispatches from New York and London printed in Japanese newspapers -represent that the recent utterance of Count Okuma attrib uting the naval expansion policy of the United States to the sudden rise of Japan to the Importance of a world power. Is arousing intense indignation and has caused a complete recrudescence of anti- Japanese sentiment throughout America. The New York newspapers are quoted as editorially urging an American-Chinese alliance for the purpose of offsetting the belligerency of Japan. One newspaper is quoted as giving the views of vv u Ting Fang, Chinese Minister to the United States, on the subject of an alliance in which he threatens Japan with "an early evidence of the real power of the Amer ican navy." Americans residing in Toklo, Yokohama and elsewhere throughout Japan are ex tremely indignant. They believe that the special dispatches exaggerate the tone of the New York newspapers and it is felt that It is particularly unfortunate that at this time anything should be permitted to retard the Increasingly, friendly. tela.UonaJmeaxi of the two nations in view of the elab orate arrangements on foot among the Japanese to welcome the American fleet and the growing cordiality exhibited on all sides toward Americans. American business men especially regret the pub lications because the revival of th,e anti Japanese propaganda in America will, they fear, undoubtedly afford gratifica tion to the competing countries repre sented here and alse seriously damage American trade. Count Okuma's frequent utterances do not create a ripple here and his most recent one was passed quite unnoticed by foreigners until the specials announced the outcry of the American newspapers. Even then, among Japanese statesmen and newspapers the first ex pression was one of amusement. JAPAX BUIIiDLXG WARSHIPS Xaval Arsenals JKept Busy Through- - out Past Year. TOKIO, Aug. 14. During last year the naval arsenals constructed one battle ship, one armored cruiser and one second-class cruiser, while two dispatch boats were built at the Mitsubishi ship building dockyard and engine works, Na gasaki, and the Kawasaki shipbuilding dockyard. Kobe. Besides these, the na val arsenals were occupied In the fitting of armament of the battleship Satsuma and the cruiser Ikoma, both launched in 1906, as well as the repairs of the Mikasa and the warships captured in the late war. The arsenals are at present build ing three destroyers and three battle ships, each displacing 20,000 tons. The Mitsubishi yard is also constructing sev eral ships, their tonnage aggregating 80, 000 tons, while the Kawasaki yard has also several ships' in course of construc tion of some 85.000 tons. In addition to these, there were built altogether 100 vessels of every description and size at shipbuilding dockyards throughout ' the country, their total tonnage aggregating. 11,356 tos. "EV,ER TALKED OF ALLIANCE Wu Ting Fang Repudiates Inter view Written by Dreamer. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Chinese Min ister Wu Ting Fang smiled when shown the Tokio dispatch which referred to an Interview alleged to have been given by him to a New York newspaper on the subject of an American-Chinese alliance. "No," said he. "of course I never said that or anything else like it. I remember the -occasion well enough. A correspon dent of one of the New York papers came here and called my attention to the state men of a possible alliance between China and the United States. He asked me what I though of it. I told him that whatever I thought of it personally, it would be manifestly improper for me as a Minister to say anything about it ex cept that it was quite interesting. My country sends me here to transact diplo matic business and I have no right to ex press an outside opinion on such matters. I am glad of the opportunity to deny ever having given such an Interview and will be glad if you will say so for me." Form Business Men's Party. TOKIO, Aug. 14. The formation is an nounced of a new political party, consist ing mainly of politicians who have hith erto ranked as independent or as busi ness men. The preliminaries of organiza tion seem to have progressed very favor ably, and according to present appear ances, the party will command some thing like 60 votes In the lower house. There is not to be any avowal of sup port to the Cabinet or of opposition to the Seiyu-Kal. The main planks of the party's platform will be adjustment of finances and rehabilitation of the em pire's foreign policy. On these great questions the members will vote In con cord, but on small matters .they will be allowed to exercise personal liberty. Japan to Pay War Debt. TOKIO. Aug. 14. The exact figures are now known with reference to the appli cation for repayment of the first install ment of the war loan. There have been four operations up to the present, and the total amount of applications for re payments under the discount system is 52.529,400 yen. This leaves about 45.000,000 yen to be repaid. The treasury has not yet given any intimationas to whether the system of documents will now be abandoned In favor of lots, but the gen eral belief Is that this change will be made, and that the firat payment by lot will take place about the 15th of September.- , - Orientalists in Session.

Bailey, dean of the Cornell College of Agriculture, who was recently appointed by President Roosevelt to be chairman of a committee of five to investigate the social, sanitary and economic conditions on American farms, sent a letter to Pres ident Roosevelt yesterday declining the appointment on the ground that he can not give the subject the time he consid ers would be necessary to such an im portant matter. When seen yesterday Bailey expressed his regret at being unable to undertake the work, saying he considered the idea highly commendable. In appointing Dean Bailey head of the commission President Roosevelt wrote him a lengthy letter. which was made public last Monday. The commission was asked to report to the President recommendations for Improving farm life. It is stated that the President will incorporate these recommendations in a message to Congress, probably early next year. BURNS NOT IN CONTEMPT San Francisco Court Upholds Graft Probing Detective. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14. Superior Judge W. P. Lawlor today dismissed the contempt proceedings instituted by Abra ham Ruef against William J.

Ruef charged Burns and some of his agents with having approached prospective Jurors in Ruefs coming trial with a view or having tnem disqualify themselves.

Mendacious statements of this sort, if repeated often enough, soon come to be accepted by unthinking people as an unquestionable fact. In order to enlighten the reader, permit us to make-a plain statement of the truth, giving the following comparative cost figures between the two lights in question. Cost figures for the Tungsten Electric Arc were taken from the advertisement mentioned above. 200 C P. Tungsten Elec Arc Per Mo. $2.25 2.70 '3.29 3.80 4.31 Lighting Hours 3 4 5 6 7 Av. Cost Per A SAVING OF ONE DOLLAR PER MONTH PER LAMP, averaging five lighting hours per day in favor of gas. The renewal of the Tungsten Lamp on account of the blackening of the bulbs, breaking of the fila ments, which are very brittle and are easily destroyed, either by handling or by the electric company's variations in voltage, is an additional expense; moreover, the longer they burn, the lower will be the illuminating power, necessitating constant renewals, the bills for which will work out to more than the account for electric current. AUTO THIEF IS FREE Diebler Jumps From Car Win dow and Escapes. NOW FUGITIVE IN MONTANA Having Stolen Automobile in Chi cago and Again in Portland, He Is Captured at Chehalis, but ' Breaks Away. CHICAGO, Aug. 14. Ernest Diebler. wanted in. Ohicajro for the theft of a $4000 autodpbile, escaped from a detective last night near Big Timber, Mont., by jumping from a window of a Pullman car. The information was received here to day In a telegram to the police depart ment from Detective Kinney, who was bringing the prisoner back from Portland, Or. Diebler was originally arrested two months ago, but was admitted to bail in Portland, whereupon, it is alleged, he promptly broke into the garage where the stolen car had been stored by the police and stole It a second time. Four days ago he was again arrested, this time at Chehalis, Wash. He had disposed of the machine. Detective Kinney had left his seat for a minute when he heard the sound of a window being opened and turned just in time to see his prisoner disappearing through it. The train was stopped and backed up, but no trace of the fugitive was found. EXCITIXW CHASE IX OREGON Diebler Slipped Through Fingers or Marshal and Fled to Seattle. C. A. Dunn, a local clrgar-dealer. was victimized out of about $400 through Diebler's visit to Portland several weeks ago. Diebler called on Dunn with the information that he had a fine auto coming from Chicago, but hadn't ready money to pay all the freight charges. Mr. Dunn put up the necessary money and took a mortgage on the auto. Diebler quietly disappeared with the machine. Then it became known the machine had been stolen from the Hayes Automobile Company, of Cht- Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to per manent success and creditable stand ing.

Lacking a more definite charge, the Marshal held him for exceeding the speed limit. Diebler put up ball. When arrested later on a minor charge, he made a sensational escape from cus tody and raced away, passing through Portland and heading for Seattle. Learning of Diebler's intended des tination, Dunn took the first train for Seattle and got charge of the fugitive, starting back for Portland with him. All went smoothly until Chehalis was reached, whereupon Diebier refused to go any further and was turned over to the Sheriff. The Portland police were notified and a detective was detailed to go after the thief, when word came that the Chicago authorities had claimed the man on a more serious charge, of stealing the auto, worth $4000. Dunn's charge against Dieb ler was merely that of obtaining money by false pretenses and the other charge, of course, took precedence. Butte Police on Lookout. BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 14.
