POLITICS IS ESCHEWED According to Bylaws "Pacific Woodman" Is Strictly Nonparti san, bat Current Number Is Strongly for Bryan. Surprise was mingled with indignation among the members of the Woodmen of the World in this city yesterday after they had reviewed the contents of the October number of the Pacific Woodman, the official organ of the order, published In San Francisco. The publication con tained a formal indorsement of the can didacy of William Jennings Bryan and an extended commendatory article on the candidacy of John Paulson, Democratic nominee for Governor of Washington. This pronounced stand politically on the part of the Woodman has thoroughly aroused local members of the order, who declare that the by-laws and constitution of tlielr organization expressly prohibit any participation by the official organ In subjects of a religious or a political nature. Tiie contents of the Woodman for this month to which members of the order in this city especially take exception In clude on the first page an article under the caption, "What Democracy Means." Under this heading follow ten references to the Democratic National platform, in cluding an indorsement of the candidacy of Pattison for Governor of Washing ton and the following formal indorsement of the candidacy of Bryan as "our" can didate in the following terms: "W. J. Bryan, the most progressive man of the age, our candidate for Presi dent." Strong Indorsement of Pattison. In addition to the short series of para graphs in which both Bryan and Pat tison are Indorsed as the candidates of the Woodmen, there la a column article. Including a portrait of Pattison. in which the candidacy of the Democratic nominee for Governor of Washington Is warmly commended. This story appears under the caption, "From Newsboy to Governor; John Pat tison, of Colfax; An Inspiration to Every Poor Boy." As an Introduction to the story ap pears the following paragraph: "The following story of the life of John Patti son. of Colfax, candidate for Governo.-. was written by a prominent Jurist of the state of Washington." The Woodman is printed In San Frao cisco under direction of the board of managers of the order. The editor of the publication is M. T. Moses, past head consul of the order, who Is held personally responsible for these unusual utterances of the paper. The Woodman Is the official organ of the Woodmen of tne World of the Pacific Jurisdiction, which embraces the following nine states: Utah, Colorado. Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Mon tana and Arizona. In those states the order has a membership of about 100.000, among whom the paper circulates. Xo C'liunce for Retroaction. T.nnn.. Knw amnnf. t h members of the order in this city perhaps would not be so great but for the fact that the In dorsement of ths two Democrats Is printed In tne last issue wi tne y"1 .7 fore election practically on the eve of election, and too late to permit of an explanation or a correction through the same avenue before the day of the elec tion. Local Woodmen now propose to forward a protest directly to Head Con sul Boak and copies are now being cir culated among the members of the order In this city. A copy 01 mis pennon oo follows: . . . , ..- i . , WitrM la a. DO- litlCll machine, as Indicated In the Paclflc Woodman, under uaio ' , -- j i tKMnvh with tha or- tne uniifraifinru. -e,-- " . . der. We haTO been members of tne order for manv veara sno up io me vii" have been perfectly satisned with it, but we feel that It ahould ateer cfcar of politics and that the aubtect ahould not be dia cussed by the Pa.-ltlc Woodman (the mouth-pit-re ot the order 1 even though Bryan may be a member of It. Barbur Vents Disapproval. "The editor of the Pacific Woodman is appointed from a fraternal and not a po litical consideration," declared A. L. Bar bur clerk of Webfoot Camp. No. 65. with a membership of 1300. "The Woodman Is the official publication of the order for the Pacific Jurisdiction and Is sup posed to be non-pollttcal and nen-rell- ( glou for the order Includes members of all political affiliations and religious denominations. The publication is In tended to be devoted solely to the best Interests of the order. It Is published monthlv under the direction of the board of governors, at an expense per issue of about 150. including a salary of J12S a Ifionth. The contents of each Issue are subject to review by Head Consul I. I. Boak but it is a practical certainty that the official head of the order did not see the articles objected to or they would not have appeared. Of course. I do not know that there Is anything which pro hibits the paper from printing advertise ments of candidates for political office at regular advertising rates, but the arti cles Indorsing Bryan and Pattison are printed as pure reading matter. In vio lation of the regulations governing the publication of the paper, which explicitly prohibit all volunteer political expres sions as to political parties and candi dates." Jennings Favors Reprimand. "There are two things that the Wood men seek to keep out of their organiza tion religion and politics.", said J. J. Jennings, consul commander of Prospect Camp. No. 140, and president of the com mittee having In charge the management of the head camp session of the Wood men, which meets here In July. 191" Under its constitution and by-laws, neither has any place In the order, which exists purelv for fraternal purposes. The editor, who must be responsible for printing this partisan expression, should be reprimanded severely by the member ship of the order for thus seeKlng, through a fraternal publication, without any offietal authorization whatever, to advance the interests of any political party or the candidate of any party." Voodworth Greatly Surprised. ..n i nthap tl-AnHmnn in athis rmuniii. w..,. --- Jurisdiction was more surprised than I at the contents of the first page of this month's issue of the Pacific Woodman," said J. M. Woodworth. clerk of Multno mah Camp, No. 177. Including a mem bership of nearly 1300. ' "The Pattison and Bryan articles certainly were not the proper thing to be printed in a paper of the fraternal character of the Wood man. Undoubtedly the Woodmen will take the matter up and register with the head officers of the order a vigorous pro test against such tacttcs. The Woodmen order always has refrained from a par ticipation In politics and religion and the action of the order's official publication is certainly a radical departure from its established policy." Aumack Finds "o Excuse. "Most assuredly I de not approve of the partisan expressions contained in this month's issue of the Pacific Woodman," remarked L. N. Aumack. past consul of Prospect Camp. No. 140. "and I have written to Head Consul Boak to thtt ef fect. The official organ of any frater nal order should be strictly non-partisan. The mere fact that Mr. Bryan is a mem ber of the order is no reason why the paper should advocate his election. Be sides, any discussion of religious or- po litical subjects in the paper Is strictly prohibited by the constitution and by laws of the order." ( MINING DISTRICT ACTIVE Portland Engineer Returns From Trip to Santiaiu Country.. A. S. Wells, a Portland mining en gineer who visited the Santiam min ing district during the past week, re ports renewed activity in that section. Heretofore it has been difficult to operate the mines on account of the lack of roads and consequent difficul ties in getting In the necessary sup piles, but through the Joint effort of Marlon County and the miners, a road Is being built from Gates to the min ing camps. Marion County pays for the erection of the bridges. In the construction of the road to the mining district. Otto Hansen, of Salem, has been particularly helpful in initiating the work. There are six companies doing de veloping work In the district. Otto Hansen has just ordered a compressed air drill to be used in development lines. The Gold Creek Mining Ac Mill ing Company, of Salem, will spend i 15.000 on its claim the coming season, which will be operated by water power. Paul Gadson, of the Portland Smelting Company, has submitted t5 the mine-owners of the district a plan to erect and operate a 100-ton smelter as soon as the mines will supply him with 100 tons of ore a day. with the result that there Is renewed activity. Manager Smith, of the Electric Mining & Milling Company, of Portland, will take charge of the company's plant and push operations. With the erec tion of a 100-ton smelter It is ex pected that the development of the mines In the district will be pushed with more activity than ever. Engineer Wells found that consid erable development work has been done along practical and successful lines. There is plenty ot water-power In the district for operating mills, furnishing electric lights and power tor other purposes. WED, THEN PART AT ALTAR Discarded Woman Thrusts Clilld Into Arms of Bridegroom. CHICAGO. Oct. 26. A dispatch to the Tribune- from Fall River, Mass., Eays: Like the climax in a drama was the revenue of a- discarded woman at the wedding of her suitor and her rival here yesterday. The marriage of Charles J. Reagan, banker, and Miss Mary B. Chadwick was the social event of the season. The church was filled with friends. After the ceremony, the bride and members of the wedding party started down the aisle as the wedding march was. played. A closely veiled woman, clad In black, arose, picked up a 4-year-old boy and held him out to Mr. Reagan. "Stop, Charles Reagan," she cried. 'Miss MiaB Sullivan!" gasped Rea gan. "Yes, It is I," answered the woman. "Here he Is. Here is your child. I've taken care of him for four years. Now you must take him you and your wife." The woman turned and walked out. The bride fainted and friends were horrorstricken. Reagan stood alone In the church aisle, holding In his arms the baby who was crying for his moth er. When the bride revived she re turned to hor home alone. Mr. Reagan left town last evening, refusing to make known his destination. He took the child with him. MOTHER-IN-LAW IN SUIT Dentist Asks $10,000 for Gunshot Wound She Inflicted. NEW YORK. Oct. 26. James W. Simpson, the dentist who was accused of the murder of his father-in-law, Bartlcy Horner, and was later shot by his mother-in-law, as he was trying to enter the house in which Mrs. Horner and Mrs. Simpson were living, has sued Mrs. Horner tor 10,000 damages for the -latter shooting, which he claims was "without cause or provocation." Mrs. Horner In her answer to the suit recites the facts of the killing of her husband, who died as the result of wounds caused by a discharge from a gun in Simpson's hands, which Simpson claimed and the jury decided was dis charged bv accident. She says she was a witness against Simpson in his trial I and that her daughter afterwards re fused to live with Simpson, but resided with her. Simpson had been forbidden the house, but attempted to see his wife, and Mrs. Horner shot him be cause. Bhe said, she had been told he entertained very bitter feelings against her. and she was afraid he would try to kill her. Defendant Fails to Appear. Because George W. Beaver failed to appear before Judge Morrow yesterday morning when the suit, brought against him by G. L.. J. T. and C. H. Davenport came up for trial, he must pay the plaintiffs 20 or Judgment will be taken against him.

PROTESTS ARE FEW Less Than One Per Cent of Taxpayers Before Board. EQUALIZATION WORK ENDS Total Number of Complaints Against Valuations Fixed by Assessor Is 376, Out or S8.000 Persons Subject to Taxation. When the County Board of Equaliza tion closed Its sessions yesterday after noon the records showed that less than 1 per cent of the 88.000 persona subject to taxation on the personal rolls had filed protests against their assessments. The total number of protests received was 376 as against 340 last year, but the total num ber of personal statements received this year exceeded those of last year by more than 40W. Quite a number of the protests were due to-The assessor's inquiries Into the stand ing of estates. The records of the probate court were searched, and the result was the placing of many persons upon the rolls. Subsequent investigation showed that tle funds-of the estates had been distributed, and the attorneys and ad ministrators had neglected to file final accounts. - "The inattention of the parties in charge of these matters," said County Assessor Sigler after the adjournment of the Board, "caused us a great deal of trou ble. If the affairs of estates had been closely looked after, my office, the Courtly Court and the County Board of Equalization would not have to take up and consider the papers filed, and the parties involved would not have been compelled to appear before us here with a protest and again for adjustment or for cancellation of their assessment. Owing to these estate cases many people will have to .come before us again, and all this trouble to them would have btsen avoided if the attorneys had attended to the final details in the court." Then the Assessor turned about to re ceive a protest from the Hawthorne es tate, which la incorporated. The estate was assessed at $546,500 on 123 lots In Hawthorne Park and Park Addition, and asked that the figure be reduced to $463, 450. The property was largely unim proved, the petition stated, and the as sessment was unjust. The assessment on block A had been increased from $53,400 In 1S07 to $85,000 in 1908. and on block B from $55,000 to $75,000. The estate asked for a reduction of 10 per cent below the valua tion of 1907, or an assessment not In ex cess of the figure of that year. Three personal statements were' filed by K. A. J. Mackenzie. In the first he ob jects to the assessment of $7000 on his fur niture. The furniture, he said, had always been assessed too high, and no account had been taken of depreciation In Its value. He asked that the figure be re duced to $4000. On lot 8, block 8. he was assessed for $33,000 and $6200 for improve ments. He thought a reasonable assess ment was $35,000. On lots 3 and 3. block 3, Couch Addition, he waa assessed for $47,000. He asked for a reduction of $2000 on these lots. Clementina Rodney objected to the as sessment of $23,600 on lots 1 and 2, block 25, Albina. She had never been offered more than $32,000 for the property, she says, and Its monthly rental Is only $150. "I'll give you an option on this property for one week at $250 an acre, $3250 for the 13 acres, and I think I might take an offer of $2500 cash for tiie tract," ran the pro test of the lb. x Land Company to the Board. The company has IS acres' In Mountain View Park Addition, assessed at $2500. It says the land is covered with brush, abounds with ravines and Is not susceptible to. cultivation. It asks .that the assessment be reduced to $1300. J. Beigbeder complains against his as sessment of $14,000 on lot 8. block 58. Couch Addition, and $15,850 for improvements thereon. He says the Improvements were partly destroyed by fire recently. He leaves the amount of reduction to tha Board. ELKS MAKING GREAT PLANS Committees on Arrangements for Trip to Grand Lodge Report.
