TTTE .MORXIXG OHEGOXIAX, SATURDAY, XOTE31B15K 7C9, I90. 10 M'GUE URGED TO FROM RAGE DROP Bowerman and McArthur Hard at Work to Strengthen Their Candidacy. LONG CONFERENCES HELD An Pmlirnl of Senate and Speaker of House Will Not Both Bo From Multnomah, Anti-Statement Men Back .McArthur. Awrressive campaign in the Interest of their candidacy for President of the Sen ate and Speaker of the House are being conducted with energy by Senator Ja Bowerman and. Representative-! C. X. McArthur. Both were extremely act ive yesterday. prolonged conference being held with John C. McCue. Representative-elect from Clateop County, and one of McArthur s rival candidates for Speaker. McArthur and his fnends are laboring earnestly with McCue In hope, that the latter may be induced 1 to with draw from the Speakership fight and throw his strength to the Multnomah County man. With the retirement of McCue from the contest McArthur strength, it w contended by those acquainted with the - organization fight, would be J"" probab;y by several vote. In ' 1, i said McArthur could depend on the votes of McCue and the latter', col league from Clatsop. Represent ttve elect C A. Welnenweher. while Eaton o' Lane, who Is supporting McCue. would also be expected to fall In line for Mc Arth.J. With his present atrength thesa three votes would not be sufficient to elect McArthur Speaker, but they would rlce him almost within reaching dis tance of the caucus nomination. McArthur Has 2 1 Pledged. I now have M votes all signed us and pledged to .lay to the finish." said Mr McArthur yesterday. -Only today I received a letter from an Eastern Ore gon member voluntarily assuring me : of his support. Of court. I need six addi tional vote, to capture the nomination In caucus, but 1 am confident that I shall have them when the Legislature meets. There Is no question of my elec tion as Speaker, and. what Is more, the officers of both houses will be selected in a caucus of the Republican members." Senator Bowerman Is registered at the Imperial, where he Is directing his cam paign. He continues to maintain his cus tomary reticence, but his great activity hears the earmarks of Increased strength In his candidacy. He has come to Port land resolved to remain until he enlists the required ' number of votes to make him President of the Senate or learna that he cannot win the honor. The Eastern Oreson man Is signing up mem bers not only In support of his candi dacy for President, but Is negotiating with statement members with a view to bringing them Into a party caucus. A successful invasion Into the statement forces In the Senate -by Inducing tiiem to participate In a party caucua un doubtedly would add materially to the strength of Bowerman. Forres Are Working Together. Bowerman and McArthur. while work ing primarily In the interest of their own candidacy, naturally are working to- getner. vt mi jicrtimui ,ns-i.i., . Speakership, the aspirations of Beach. B.iiley and Selling. Bowerman". rival as- . mering. since the presiding officers of both houses will not go from Multnomah County. On the other hand, the defeat of McArthur would materially dimlnsh the strength of Bowerman. since either the Seaker or the President will be chosen from .Mrltnomah County. Bowerman was closeted with McCue yesterday for over two hours, and after ward took luncheon with the Astorian. If some arrangement can be effected by which McCue retires from the race for Speaker in favor of McArthur and the Clatsop delegation In the House goes over to McArsnur. tne same programme mny include the support of Bowerman ' of that county. - While a statement hold over Senator. Scholfleld has never en thused over the proepect of electing a Iiemocratlc Senator, and for that reason the anti-statement people are flirting with him for his support In organizing the Legislature. COLLEGE TO BE DEDICATED the border came to the American press through . Vienna and was censored to suit the Austrian viewpoint.' A copy of a newspaper named the Srbobran (Serf-Defender) was exhibit ed to show how the papers printed in their native languare are received from the old country by Servians in this country. The first page of the paper has over two columns blank, the in ference being that these columns orig inally contained political news that was forbidden to be sent out of the country. The paper Is printed at Ajrira, Croa tia, a province of Hungary, and doubt less contained matter that is Inimical to the union of Austria and Hungary. The border provinces of Hungary, as reported In foreign dispatches, for years have resisted the political union of that country with Austria, and It would appear from the representations of the committee of Portland "patriots" that Slavonians all over the wrorld are organising to aid their countrymen "In a fight to the death." The fight for position as regards the Adriatic has been one of many years' duration, and the edict of Austria Hungary that German should be taught and spoken In the border provinces added much to the resistance of the Slavonians against the conquerera of the provinces Uiat are now recognised by world powers as Hungarian terri torv. under the treaty with .Turkey. Dalmatla, Servia. Montenegro and Bul garia are all more or less mixed up In tiiis "fight for liberty." as the Sla vonians put it. for there are 3,iT00.O0O people resisting the advancing move ments of Austiia-Hungary. Only a small proportion of the Sla vonians engaged in the volunteer establishment in Portland are Ameri can citizens, but they express the hope that the United States will come to their nssistance in the efforts they pro pose to carry out to free their several home provinces from what they desig nate oppression.

IX OoslOf remarks Arrhbtuhop Christie SERVIANS FORM BAND One Hundred Portland Volunteers Ready to Help Fatherland. There ar about Servians In Portland who have organized a band known na the Servian Volunteers. These men receive private Information ronvaylns; to them the true state of affairs in the border countries of Hun gary inhabited by Slavonians, accord ing to the statement mad by a com mitter of the organisation that called at The Oreonian office last hlRht. The spokesman of the committee said that ti e!r names should not .be sTvn pub licity, for the reason that, while Aus tria has Consuls in this country, their country bad no diplomatic representa tive on this Cuajt and that news from As-oeiaUoii Has Great Demand for Pictorial Illustrations of City's Rose Gardens and Features. Opportunity will be given amateur pho tographers of Portland, by the Rose Fes tival Association, to get their work before the public on a large scale. Requests for a series of snap-shots of parades. float., rose gardens and other leading: features of the Portland annual floral celebration have been received from a considerable number of Eastern periodi cals. "While a large number of official views were taken, the selection is not suf ficient to satisfy the demand of the pub licity department of the festival. What President Hoyt desires Is to have every professional or amateur photographer who secured first-class reproductions of any one of the daylight or night parados. In dividual floats, or other features of the entire week's demonstration last June to submit prints to the Festial Association and all such copies as are deemed worthy of bing used to further exploit Portland as the greatest "rose city" on the Ameri can Continent, will be bought and paid for. Some of the requests for pictorial arti cles have come from leading Eastern journals whose representatives have vis ited Portland within the past year and who have become imbued with the idea that this particular section of the United States has been most sadly negleeted from tho illustrative standpoint, despite its al most unlimited opportunities for exploit ation in this Held. Among the dis tinguished special correspondents who have been In Portland within the last two months to gather distinctive literary and illustrative data have been many rep resenting leading publications. The best selection of photographs In possession of the Festival Association has been distributed among these publi cations but .a greater variety is needed and for that reason every camera "fiend' who secured any satisfactory results at all Is urged to help the festival out by submitting prints of his work. One of the possibilities of tho rose fes tival idea which has been most sadly neglected, according to President Hoyt, has been the pictorial feature. Profes sional artists have done more or less in different work, but very few of them have been able to perpetuate the real In trinsic beauties of a considerable portion of the festival endeavors. "I shall advise the executive committee of the Festival Association to offer hand some prizes for the most artistic photo graphic reproductions of any of the salient elements of our next year's cele- ' oration." declared Mr. Hoyt yesterday. 'Columns and pages may be written ex- ! tolling the grandeur and magnificence of ! the splendid celebration we are prepar ing for. yet all that may be written will not compare in absolute value with the faithful reproductions which the unfailing camera lenses will give us. What we may write- may interest our own people, b;it what we portray In photographs will speak for the festival, not only here, but all over the covntry. for the simple reason that other states and cities are. asking us to show them what we are going to do." AID FOR ALBANY COLLEGE Presbyterian t'hurclies Will Help Their Denominational School. At a meeting yesterday of the trustees of Albany College and members of the Presbyterian Ministerial Association of Portland. In the Commercial Club, the educations! situation as regards the Pres byterian denomination, was thoroughly discussed and it was decided to increase this department of the church work and place It on a more substantial foundation. Consideration was also given to the in terests of Albany Collese. It was de cided to present the work and needs of the institution before -the 'Presbyterian laymen of Portland at an early date. The members of the Katherlnir were, the truesta of President H. M. Crooks, of Albany Collese, and the board of trustees at luncheon in the Commercial Club dining-rooms, the matters discussed being taken up at that time. Those present were: President H. M. Crooks, Rey. W. S. Holt, D. D.: Rev. K. M. Sharp, p. D. : Rev. J. R. Wilson. D. D. ; Rev. W. H. Foulkes. D. P.; Rev. A. J. Montiromory. Rev. George W. Arms. Rev. J. S. Duti nln. Rev. H. H. Pratt.

Be Brought l"p, but Proposed Leg islation Only Considered. A general response from the Seniitors and Representatives-elect has followed the proposal to hold a meeting of the Multnomah County delegation in the rooms of the Portland Commercial Club tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of effecting an organization to consider pros pective legislation. Members of the dele gation who. Issued the call for the meet ing and secured the use of the assembly hall at the Commercial Club, deny vig orously the Intimation that the -conference has been proposed that either the State ment or the anti-Statement members may gain any possible advantage. Instead, any question pertaining to the Senatorial situation or the organization of the Legis lature will be disregarded while the legislators-elect take up the 6nstderation of such Important measures as are prob ably to be presented for consideration by the Legislature next January. '"To me this-unending talk and effort to create the Statement and the anti-Statement members of the Legislature Into two distinct and warring factions seems en tirely out of place." said W. J. Clemens, Representative-elect who procured ac commodations at the Commercial Club for tomorrow's meeting. "The question of whether or not Statement or anti-Statement men shall be .elected presiding offi cers of tils House and the Senate should not be permitted in any way to enter into the consideration of the great amount of important legislation which will have to be considered at the coming session of the Legislature. Thinks Senatorship Settled. "So far as the Senatorship Is concerned. I take it for granted that matter was settled In the June election. Members of the lawmaking body are now confronted with the important duty of enacting re medial legislation, and if they attend to this matter properly they will be too busy to give any of tlteir time to a wrangle over the question of organization which. If continued with the present ag gressiveness, is certain to interfere with or at least embarrass many important legislative measures. Mr. Clemens refused to Bay whom he would support for Speaker, although It is known that he is one of four Statement members from this county who has re fused to subscribe to the Bourne-Hofer scheme which binds these members to support only a Statement man for presid ing officer. He did say that being a Re publican himself he believed It the duty of the Republican members of both houses to organise by electing a Repub lican president and a Republican Speaker regardless of the position of the individual Republican as to the Senatorship. in further explanation of his position on the question of organization, Mr. Clemens made It plain that he did not propose to enter Into any sort of a compact that wotild bind his hands securely and pos sibly land him In a predicament which would call for an apology. Such a con tingency, he" suggested, would arise from any plan on the part of the Statement Re publicans of the two houses to organize the Legislature with the assistance of the Democratic members. No Statement Speaker. For that reason, if for nothing else, Mr. Clemens said he proposed to remain foot loose so that he might be In a position to support for Speaker only the man he considered best qualified for the place. The question of whether or not an aspirant for Speaker was a Statement or an anti-Statement man, he said, should nit be entertained as a possible qualifi cation of th candidate for that position. As a representative elected by the peo ple, the Portland Insurance man Insists that it is his duty to support for Speaker the man that is best qualified for the place and who can be depended upon best to administer that office in the Interest of all of the people. J. D. Abbott, another Statement mem ber from this county, also haa refused to sign up the agreement pledging a State ment organization - of the House. His position on the subject of organization is understood to be identical to that of Mr. Clemens. Fred J. Brady and B. C- Altman arc the other two members of the Mult nomah delegation In the House who are said to have withstood the appeals of their Statement colleagues to take a hand In the organization fight. The anti Statement people, however, are not count ing confidently on holding Altman In line, for it has been learned that he feels under obligations to the men who or ganized the Statement ticket for the pri maries last Spring and was accepted by them and supported as one of the men to be nominated for this county. For that reason it Is expected by the anti Statement forces that when the time comes he will join with the Statement people and assist them In such manner as thy mny request in tho matter of or ganizing the House.

Mayor Lane outlined his plan to the members of the Board, who at once ac cepted It. and this will be the method of procedure. Those who have property to sell on the Olmsted system, which is elaborate, and Is surveyed on either side of the river, will be given an opportun ity to offer it for sale at their lowest figure. If the Board thinks the price too high, condemnation proceedings win be Instituted. A list of property-owners on the boulevard and park system Is to be compiled and Mayor Lane will sum mon them to a meeting, at which the matter will he acted upon. FOUR BAD BOYS ARRESTED Lads Caught "With Guns Must An swer to Juvenile Court. Passengers on the "Sellwood cars dur ing the last few days, who passed the Crematorium, and those on the Oregon City and Cazadero cars, have noticed boys on the lagoon below, piloting rafts of crude construction. A long stick or a limb usually furnished the propelling power. Had the lads confined them selves to navigating the slough all would have gone well, except, perhaps, for a parental spanking now and then. But the neighbors discovered that the youths had several weapons in their pos session, which they were using in handy fashion. The police were notified, and Captain Bailey made an Investigation. With the assistance of Mr. Gibson and Mr. Kelso he took from the lads two 2'.'-caliber rifles and a shotgun. At the approach of the officer and the men, John Chample, Jr.. 18 years old. who lives at hil East Ninth street, was heard to remark to Eddie Cassidy, "Shoot the dirty tlog," referring to Mr. Kelso. The four boys will be obliged to appear before Judge Gantenbein, of the. Juven ile Court, to answer for their conduct. One of them had a hunting license, but thev were within the city limits. Rex Baldwin. .16 years old. living at 621 Lex ington avenue, and Harold Babb, 16, liv ing at 583 Miller avenue, were with the other two. Eddie Cassidy is but 13 years of age. and lives with his parents at 648 East Ninth street. WILL TREAT ROAD FAIRLY Isaac Mullen Discusses Milwaukie KIght-of-Wny Question. Isaac Mullen, who le one of the candi dates for Councilman in Milwaukie at the coming municipal election, said yes terday that as far as he is concerned he Is opposed, to any obstructive policy to ward the Southern Pacific Company, which Is seeking right of way through Milwaukie. "I think if the company will come be fore the people and ask what is reason able and fair," eaid Mr. Mullen, "it will receive fair treatment. Most of the dis tance through Milwaukie will be through private property, but the line must cross several streets. I don't think that the owners of private property should Insist on 10,000 for J1000 worth of property. Mr. Mullen eaid that he would favor asking the railroad company for a fair compensation for the franchise tnrougn the town, the amount to be decided on after careful consideration of the value of the franchise to the company. He thinks that the routing of the West Side trains and also the East Side trains through the heart of the town will bring In tramps and necessitate extra police men, for which provision should be made in the franchise.

The Park Board yesterday morning ac cepted the suggestion of Mayor Lane that all property to be purchased with the proceeds of the $1,000,000 bond issue for parks and boulevards be bought In the open market, and that no special agent be employed to make Investiga tions and to open preliminary negotia tions with property-owners. The Mayor has favored this plan all along, and has so stated on previous occasions. The City Council having given the Board au thority, to select ground and to post de posits where necessary to hold the prop erty until the Council has time to act. It is the duty of the Board to select and recommend the sites, and the Council's duty to purchase. , The manner of purchasing the property to .be used for parks, boulevards and playgrounds ' throughout the city has been the subject of much discussion by members of the Park Board. Some be lieved it would be wise to employ an agent and have him make the prelim inary negotiations for the Board. Others favored the condfitwation of property in the courts, while Mayor Lane held to the Idea that It would be better to make the entire matter public and seek bids from those wishing to sell. The Park Boaid met in special session yesterday morning to consider the qucx- Pinner and Entertainment Success. The dinner and entertainment given Thanksgiving night under the auspices of the Ladles' Aid Society at the First Norwegian-Danish Methodist Episcopal Church was a complete success from be ginning to end. The tables In the church parfor were crowded from tli time din ner commenced till the programme be gan at 8 o'clock. The quaint but beau tiful native costumes worn by a numler of young ladles waiting on tables added greatly to the Scandinavian-like charac ter of the festival. Miss Lalliment enter tained at tho tables with various excel lent selections on the piano, while the duets and solos rendered during the pro gramme by Miss Beyers and Mr. Koempel were highly appreciated. The singing by the Danish male chorus was of the best. But -perhaps the two numbers on the pro gramme that furnished the most merri ment were the comical dialogue, entitled, "The Police Judge and the Loafer," ren dered by Messrs. P. Petersen and Axel Moness, and the essay, entitled. "Port land in 1933," read by the paKtor, Rev. H. P. Nelsen. As the imaginary picture was drawn and the church and people ap peared in view as probability suggested they would appear 25 years hence, roars of laughter filled the house time snd again, according as various names were mentioned. - DECEMBER LIST OF NEW VICTOR RECORDS All Vocal Selections Have Accompaniments by the Victor Orchestra lO-inch, 60c No. 5577 Poet and Peasant Overture.

The City Executive Board yesterday afternoon refused to pay any heed to the strenuous protests of Attorneys Wilbur and Spencer against the action of the nolice in raidinjr the Chinese establish ments looated in a new building on North Fourth street. A long letter from tne lawvers. settine forth numerous com plaints aeainst the police, especially jjc- tective Sergeant Kay, waa read. It con tained threats to make the city party 10 a milt for damages unless the raids cease. In the letter It was stated that the police have longr made raids on the estab lishment named, wltnoui regara to whether there were any gambling games on or not. and that the Executive Board must cause this to cease or suffer the conseouences. It was asserted that the officers have battered down the doors to Chinese, homes and places of business, wholly without justification, and cited in stances where this had been done, par ticularly by Sergeant Kay. It was men- tinned that, while the ponce nave done this In Chinese establishments, nothing of the kind had been recorded In any white eamine-houses.

But when we remember yiat every part of the body every organ is nourished by the blood and the blood Is made of the food we eat, it seems reasonable to trace even eye troubles to food. A N. T. man had an Interesting ex perience at one of the great hospitals In that city that may benefit persons who have chronic eye trouble. He writes : 'Four years ago I was stricken with an eye trouble. After being unsuc cessfully treated by several physi cians and oculists. I went to a noted New York hospital. "On examination they pronounced my cose iritis (inflammation of the Iris), caused by poor blood on account of improper assimilation of food. "They had to operate on my right eye, keet-injr mc in a dark room and on a strict oict .f or several weeks. When leaving, the' doctor cautioned me In regard to saving the other eye, say ing that I must be temperate as to my diet and use neither tea nor coffee. "I told him it would be almost Im possible for me to get and live on what they had given me at the hos pital. He replied: "It is not necessary. As an official hrre I cannot recom mend any private brand of food or drink. As a frirnd I advise you to try Grape-Nuts, discard all fatty, heat ing foods as much as possible, especial ly in the morning. "This advice I have followed, except ing a. few times when T have grown careless, but danger signals always come, such as specks and blots before my eyes and some Inflammation.

"As -yet I have heard of no white mer chants or any white persons having in their homes doors of quite so thick dimen sions." The Board filed the protests of the at torneys and took no other action, so it is regarded as certain that the raids will continue. "CITIZENSHIP" THE TOPIC Interesting Discussion at Regular Meeting of Woman's Club. "Good Citizenship" was the topic of the afternoon at the Woman's Club yesterday. Mrs. G. Howard Pettinger was responsible for the excellent pro gramme, and Mrs. Robert Lutke pre sided. In the absence of Mrs. S. M.
