SEEKING EXCUSES
Wants to Keep From Taking
Stump for Bryan in
Oregon.
ASKS LETTER WRITTEN
Whereupon He Will Hare Chance to
Evade Campaigning Kentucky
Klick Objects In Resolutions
to Governor's Partisanship.
DEC LIVEft TO TAKE STt'M P.
F ALEM, Or., Oct. 15. special.)
Governor Chamberlain has .declined
tA take any part In the. Democratic
campaign in favor nf the election of
Bryan, giving aa hla reason that he
b;iee a chief executive should
nt take an active part In cam
paigns during his Incumbency. His
refusal was announced In a letter to
Alex Sweek, chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, who
hud uraed the Governor to make a
few speeches In this state in Bryan's
behalf.
That Governor Chamberlain will not
take the stump for Bryan Is the accepted
version at Democratic headquarters of the
Governor's apparent indecision. Recent I y
h announced at the Bryan headquarters
that he would make a spiking tour for
th Nebraska candidate, but so many pro
tests have reached him from persons wlio
think such partisanship would be seized
by Republican members of the Legisla
ture as a pretext for deserting their
Statement No. 1 pledge, that the Governor
has been playing for some opening lor
graceful retrrat.
In National circles of the Democratic
party Chamberlain's non-partisanship is
not well understood and his participation
In th campaign is much desired Since
Chamberlain lias twice .carried this Re
publican state for himself, Kastern Demo
crats think he ought to accomplish big
things here for Bryan. If Chamberlain
Is to be recognixed by them aa the chief
iMmocratic leader of Oregon and is to dic
tate Federal patronage here In case of
Bryan's election, many of his friends
think he ought to put his shoulder to the
wheel.
Democrats Xeed Governor.
Without Chamberlain's work Demo
crats will surely lose Oregon's electoral
votes for President. In a close race for
President those four votes might be the
balance of power. Accordingly, many
of Bryan's friends urge that Chamber
lain ought to sacrifice himself, not
Bryan, If politics In Oregon la in such
shape that both cannot win together.
However, the contrary argument ap
parently has won Chamberlain. His
friends say that the Republican plural
ity In Oregon will be so big that Cham
berlain could not defeat it. But the
qi;eetlon of how to extricate Chamber
lain from his promise to help Bryan on
the stump thus far has been a poser.
Want Letter Written.
The report was abroad yesterday that
the Governor had signified a desire that
State Chairman Sweek, National Com
mitteeman Miller and County Chairman
Thomas Join in a letter urging htm to
take the stump: whereupon the Gov
ernor would respond that after due re
flection he had decided that the people
of Oregon, whose Governor he Is. do
not want him to make a stump campaign
for Bryan; that he is Governor not of
the Democrats, but of all the people;
that he does not desire to use the of
fice of Governor for political purposes,
as. Roosevelt apparently has used the
Presidency and Hughes the Governorship
of New York. Whether this letter will
be sent to Chamberlain remains to be
seen.
I-ast night the Kentucky Klick adopt
er! resolutions opposing Chamberlain's
participation In the Bryan campaign, as
follows:
Kentucky Klick's Protest.
Wherean. It has come to the notice of
the Kentucky Kin k that various Demo
cratic committees throuiriiout the state are
wrgir.g Governor "hambrlain to stump the
rate in behalf of Bryan and Kern; there
for. Be It resolved, that w at once demand of
the National committeeman and the state
chairman that they prevent Governor
Chamberlain's tnklnr any part In the Na
tional campaign in this state, "as one Dem
ocratic X ntted States Senator is worth more
to the DfmoT.-y of Oregon than 100 Dem'
oc"8 tic upoerhe."
He it resolved, that Governor Chamber
lain's part lit pat i n In the campaign would
plne him tn a rl-iiculous position before the.
pep!e of our jtt, since he is Governor, not
only of the pemo-mts, but also of the
fnpi of Orec.'n. and would subject him to
partisan critU im. the same as President
Knr elt.
H It resolved. that it is permis
sible for our Governor to tender his
icrVifK to National Chairman Mark to
rump nut si de Oren. for Bryan and Kern,
as Governor Hughes is now doing for Re
publicans. Democrats do not expect to win Ore
gon for Hrvan. but they do expect to cut
down the Republican plurality to between
bf and votes.
ALL PARTIES REPRESENTED
Bryan Men Sought Xo Advantage,
Savs Dr. Brouglicr.
rC'RTUAN'n. Or.. Oct. 1j. (To the
Kdltor.l Wriim-silar ntRht the White
Teirplc Men's t"lui hehi a Presidential
election in the auditorium of the White
Temple. Each of the prominent candi
dates was represented by a speaker
who presented the principles and polli
ci'-s for which his party stood. The
committee who selected the speakers
had no political ax to tfrlr.d and en
deavored to pet the best possible rep
resentative for each candidate.
Your reporter seemed to think other
wise, for In the printed account of the
meetlna he said. "The Bryan forces
captured the platform at the friendly
meetlnsr of Presidential candidates at
the White Temple last nlicht, etc."
Why he tiioiurnt this I do not know,
for there were three Prohibitionists,
two Republicans and only one Iemo
crat and one Socialist who occupied
chairs on the platform. Of the speak
ers. K. S. J. McAllister was the only
Pemo rat who spoke and represented
Mr. Bryan. The printed account re
ferred to : "Mr. McAllister was ex
pected to make a ten-minute speech.
Instead he consumed the greater part
of an hour. etc A (treat many friends
feel that this statement does Mr. Mc
Allister an injustice and. aa I presided
and hed the watch, they have asked
me to corrtct It. Kach speaker was
allowed 15 minutes. Mr. Taft's repre
sentative spoke less than his allotted
time. Every one of the other three
speakers ran two or three minutes over
GHAMBERLAI
the time af ter I had rapped on the
table as a warring to close.
According to my wtch, Mr. MrAHsfr
spoke ust 17 minutes. Now this may
have scmed "ten times his allotted
period" to your reporter and to some
other stanch Republicans who didn't
like the .Democratic doctrine pro
claimed by Mr. McAllister, but as an
actual fact he spoke just IT minutes
The entire meeting was an enthusiastic
one. The points made by each speaker
were heartily applauaed and. person
ally, I thought that every candidate
was wU represented- Mr. Taft re-
1 reived the largest number of votes and,
so far as I could see. there was no
reason to complain that the Demo
crats ttari captured the platform or that
their repr"3ttntat i ve spoke longer than
the time allowed him.

TALK OVERJRAISING FEES
Sunday l aw Violators Discuss Ways
of Paying Lawyers.
A meeting of the proprietors of cigar,
candy and fruit stores and billiard-rooms
who were arrested for violating the Sunday-closing
law. was held In the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday morning, for the
purpose of discussing ways and means of
raising funds to test the constitutionality
of the law. The principal question was
the amount of the attorneys' fees. The
figure had been set by the three at
torneys engaged at J3000. and tlOOO has
been paid, leaving $3u00 owing. How
raise the balance was the problem for
the -meeting. There is J.T27.90 on hand
from subscriptions originally given, and
Jlt72.10 muft be raised among the re
tailers. Many of the retailers, believing
that the injunction granted by Circuit
Judge Gantenbein frees them from ar
rest by the police, refuse to contribute to
the deficiency fund, and some difficulty
may be experienced In getting them back
into line.
The fees on appeal of cases from the
Municipal to the Circuit Court were dis
cussed generally, and It was Intimated
that in one case they were very high.
The case mentioned was that of the drug
gists, who pooled their issues with the
retailers. They paid $250 for an hour's
consultation with a lawyer and a written
opinion and the only information they re
ceived was that they may sell today
only such articles os their pioneer pre
decessors sold in 1804 when the Sunday
law was adopted.
Expelled From Debs Party.
J. D. Stevens has been officially read
out of the Socialist party. For a number
of years Mr. Stevens has posed as a lead
ing Socialist of Portland and In that capa
cityhas made innumerable addresses in
exposition of the party's principles. His
expulsion from the party, however, has
been announced publicly by Thomas A.
Pladden. secretary of the State Committee
Socialist party 1 1 this sta-te. Mr. Sladden
has Issued a letter In which he charges
that Stevens Is more of a Populist than a
Socialist and no longer Is entitled to
commune with the adherents of the Debs
party.
There are 1U.M0 newspapers published In
the I'nited Slates; about lrtoo of them are
published daiiy. In Asia there are SOoo
pr!odical publications. Africa has only

FINISH IN WHIRL
Republican Campaign to End
in Blaze of Glory.
SEND OUT SPELLBINDERS
Orators Will Go to All Sections of
State to jroue Enthusiasm for
Taft Big Portland Rally
October 2".
Republican campaign managers of
the state propose to wind up the cam
paign by filling the last two weeks re
maining before the election with plenty
of rousing speeches that are calculated
to bring out the vote on election day.
It Is believed the last two weeks of the
campaign will dispel any remaining
apathy throughout the state and add
havdsomely to the Republican majority.
Secretary McArthur is going to send
out a number of spellbinders to strate
gic points during the coming week who
will address thousands of voters in all
parts of, the state. There will be red
fire galore and all the essentials toend
the campaign In a blaze of glory.
Campaign literature, too. together
with buttons and lithographs or tne
candidates, are beirnv sent out by both
parties. Secretary McArthur is send
ing out the last of t lie campaign docu
ments this week, together with supplies
of picmres and Taft buttons for the
faithful to wear on their lapels during
the time yet remaining before election
day.
Many thoughtless voters will cast
their ballots in accordance with the
views of the last speaker they listen
to. The management of the Oregon
campaign believes this vote is large
enough to make it worth striving for.
If the state were at all close, it might
be large enough to decide the result in
Oregon. But with a majority for Taft
already practically assured, it is the
Intention to make this as large as pos
sible in order to serve as a stinging
rebuke to Democratic hopes.
Big success is reported from the va
rious towns -where the plan of sending
out strong speakers has been followed.
Secretary McArthur is receiving reports
every day from the sections where
spell-binders arj active and they are
getting results. J. D. I-ee Is drawing
large crowds in Umatilla County and
the enthusiasm shown by his audiences
Is very gratifying to the campaign
management.
Senator Fulton is meeting -with great
success in his tour of Crook County.
He will speak at Condon tonight and
will probably reach Heppner for an ad
dress tomorrow night. R. R. Butler is
campaigning in Southern Oregon, hav
ing spoken to a large crowd at Rose
burg last night and tonighf he will
make an address at Drain. He will go
to Columbia County next and after
making speeches there will take a
steamer at Astoria and go to Coos Bay,
where he will spend the last week, cf
the campaign. Congressman Ellis will
address five meetings In Coos County.
Judge Stephen A. Lowell starts out
early next week speaking at Toledo,
Lincoln County, Monday night. George
R. Rodgers. Mayor of Salem, will speak
in the Willamette Valley until next
week, when he will go to Union County.
The last big Republican rally of the
campaign in Portland will be held at
the Armory on the night of October 27.
when Congressman Will E. Humphrey,
of Washington, will speak. The Union
Republican club will also have a rally
in the Selling-Hirsch Hall, probably on
the last Saturday night before election,
when Judge Lionel R. Webster and
Stephen A. Lowell will address the
voters.
Hobson to Stump Oregon.
Richmond Pearson Hobson. hero cf the
Merrimac. will speak In Oregon in the
Interests of Bryan's campaign. He will
arrive here about October 21 and will
visit a number of places about the state
to address the voters and urge them to
support the Democratic candidate. Mr.
Hobson Is the brilliant Congressman
from Alabama, whose hobby Is a bigger
naval force In the Pacific. He in known

Stanford to Wrangel,- where he wired
for permission and got it. but got back
too late to save any lives.
Neither of the tugs could have taken

Jackson Reid, the youthful slayer of
George F. TJe Mars, is to be tried No
vember 2 before Judge Gantenbein, in
Department No. 2 at the Courthouse,
according to announcement yesterday
that this date had been set for the
trial. The court also said that unless
the attorneys for the lad made objec

ESTATE IS IX BIG TAXGLE
Collection of Fees for War Claims
Obtained by T. A. Wood Difficult.
That John F. Logan, counsel for heirs
of the T. A. Wood estate, may have, an
opportunity to collect additional evidence
relative to the administration of t;ie es
tate by A. N. Gambell, Judge Webster, in
the County Court, continued the case until
November 12, at 10 A. M.
Yesterday was the date set for hearing
objections to the final account. V. Hosea
Wood, a son of the deceased, and Gam
beii, who was at one time City Auditor in
Po-tiand. were appointed administrators
nf Wood's estate.
T. A. Wood had been employed by a
large number of veterans who served in
the Indian wars of the Oregon Territory
Ir. 1S56 and 1S5 to collect from the Govern
n.cnt the claims for their seric3s. The
understanding was that he was to receive
W per cent. In many instances this fee
was not paid to Wood, as the Government
refused to sanction Wood's retention of
any part of the claim money. This, said
Gambell, has made it difficult for the ad
ministrator to collect, there beins 125 vet
erans who refused to make a settlement.
Mr. Gambell said that in November. 1305,
he had collected J63CO. while the disburse
ments of the estate were $2874. The wit
ness admitted that in October, 190S, the
estate paid W. Hosea Wood 3309 for 140
shares of stock in the Home Builders' As
scclation, which then owned 70 lots In
Portland. Mr. Gambell said that, at the
same time Wood paid to the estale $1000.

Bank, upon the order of the court. ,
About two years ago Lockwood ap
peared as attorney for Lynch. He
claimed the certificate for his fees.
Contempt proceedings were Instituted,
and Judge Gantenbein, in the Circuit
Court, issued a writ of habeas corpus.
Now the contempt proceedings have
been renewed.

Minutes of the recent gathering in
San Francisco to form a federation of
Pacific Coast commercial organizations
to work for the common good of the
West Coast have been received here
Edmond C. Glltner. secretary of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce, who took a
prominent part in the meeting, as did
Tom Richardson, manager of the Port
land Commercial Club.
.The record of the gathering shows the
results accomplished and the things the
new alliance, known as the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific
Coast, will" strive for. Mr. Giltner was
secretary of the meeting during Its or
ganization and he also delivered an ad
dress, as did Mr. Richardson, both of
whom spoke strongly In favor of an or

retresenting the States of Oregon, Cal
ifornia and Washington that only by the
co-operation of the three states can they
obtain the aid of Congress in carrying
out projects of vital importance to tne
Pacific Coast. Resolutions were adopted
setting forth the need ot Federal legis
lation for harmonious and successful ex
pansion of Pacific Coast trade anifc the
natural development of the Coast re
sources.
These resolutions also affirmed the two
pressing needs of the Pacific Coast as
the maintenance of a large fleet of naval
vessels In Pacific waters and Federal leg
islation to stimulate American shipping
and to send the flag of this country into
everv foreign port. The commercial or
ganizations represented pledged them
selves to work for the affiliation that
they believed would enable the several
Coast states to exert the cohesive
strength of a united community.
A constitution was adopted and the fol
lowing Pacific Coast cities were declared
to be eligible to representation in the new
organization: Portland, aan rrancisco,
Seattle, Tacoma. Spokane, Oakland, Los
Angeles and San Diego.
Mr. Giltner expresses confidence that
the move just made is one in the ; lght
direction and that It will result in great
good to the whole Pacmc coast. ie ex
Dects that by the next meeting there will
be a definite programme mapped out
whereby the Coast interests may expect
to accomplish results that will be Bene

RIVER WRECK IS RECALLED
Memories of Explosion of Steamer
Gazelle In 1854, Awakened.
PORTLAND. Oct. 15. (To the Editor.)
Now and then some Incident in our local
history recalls th first steamboat accident
on the Willamette River the explosion of
the boilers of the ataamer Gazelle as that
trim, pioneer river craft lay at her dock
on the east bank ot the river at the HUle
village of Canemah. Just above the Falls.
April 8.JS54. The boat had been con
structed by local mechanics and enterpris
ing territorial capitalists at great labor
and expense, and, with steam up and fl&ff
flying;, was Just about ready to cast off
her shore line for her maiden trip to Salem,
when the explosoon occurred, which left
the nretty craft a wreck and killed and
fatally injured a larpe number of her pas
senrers and crew. On the bank of the
river at this point still stands a building
which was tnen usea as a ? tore and de
pository of merchandise, in transit. TJntJl

Fifth Street Acheson Building
still, with some additions, is occupied by
the village grocery store. ..at
It was in front of this old building that
in April. 1861. an American flag that had
been made by the patriotic women of the
village was unfurled from the ton of a
staff which enthusiastic men had cut. car
ried down the hill on their stalwart shoul
ders and set with many demonstrations or
loyalty to the Government and cheers for
Abraham Lincoln and the Union.
Into this building the dead, the dying
and the painfully injured of our earliest
river catastrophe were borne; the stores
supply of muslin and raw cotton for band
ages; of sweet oil and flour and such other
remedies as could be Improvised for burns,
were freely levied upon for the ameliora
tion of the sufferings of the unfortunates.
Dr. Barclay, a retired surgeon of the Hud
son's Bay Company, then living in Oregon
City, and whose dust now rests under a
white shaft in Mountain View Cemetery,
came at full speed horseback to. the scene
at the behest of a breathless runner, and
by his skill much suffering was relieved
and not a few lives saved.
The horror of the scene is still felt by
the few who survive It when the incident
is recalled in connection with some name
that stands for special endeavor in the
early history of Oregon. A recent occasion
of this kind was the 55th anniversary of
the United Presbyterian Church at Albany,
at which time it was stated that Rev.
James P. Miller, the first pastor of the
then young church, "was killed in the ex
plosion of the steamer Gazelle." The grief
and dismay of the little flock, numbering
barely 14 members, at having been thus
suddenly and shockingly deprived of its
head belong to the misty realm of memory.
Bewildered, the little band was not. how
ever, discouraged, as reports of this an
niversary of the founding of the church
in which the tragic death of its first pastor
was noted, show. "The United Presbyte
rian Church of Albany" so runs the rec
ord "is the oldest church of its denom
ination in the world, one of the largest and
strongest in the city, and has one of the
best edifices in the Willamette Valley."
This church was less than fix months old
when It was so shockingly deprived of its
first pastor a man whose memory it still
reveres and whose name has an abiding
place In its archives. c.
Heavy Traffic During September.
That Portland recelced its full share
of tourist business during the month of
September Is shown by the reports of th
Transcontintntal Passenger Association,
now in session in Chicago. Advices from
the records of the association show that
Portland was the destination of 2200
tourists from the East during the month.
The total for all Pacific Coast cities was
9000, so that this city Is well up among
the tourtet centers of the Pacific Coast.
A FOOD LESSON
That the Teacher Won't Forsjret.
Teaching school Is sometimes very
arduous work. If the teacher is not
robust and In good health, she can't
do her best for her scholars or for
her own satisfaction.
When it becomes a question of prop
er food for brain work, as in school
teaching, many teachers have found
Grape-Nuts ideal.
"I have been for many years a teach
er, and several months ago found my
self In such a condition that I feared
