lO THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, TIIURSDAT, MAT 13, 1909. ALBEE SAYS HE IS . WILLING TO RUN Will Make Race Against Simon if No Other Independent Candidate Appears. WILL KELLAHER KEEP OUT? Enemies of Assembly Will Try to In duce East Side Aspirant Not to Kun Anti-Simon Men Will Not Support Munly, Only one string is attached to the candi dacy of State Senator H. 11. Albee for Mayor. If the antl-SImon people cannot find any other man who will tackle the Job, Senator Albee says he Is willing. One thins is certain, the opposition to Simon cannot bring Itself round to sup port Kellaher and at no stage In the game has any considerable part of it ever thought of getting behind Judge Munly, the Democratic nominee. For this reason, Albee may be expected to juiip into the fray any time. "In all probability I shall become a candidate for Mayor." said Senator Albee yesterday. "Prior to the primary elec tion. I was urged to enter the contest In opposition to Mr. Simon. Since that elec tion, tho demand from the same sources that I become a candidate has been re newed more urgently. I have been hoping that some other candidate might be elected on whom the antl-Slmon forces could unite. I am Informed that they cannot find such a man. It will only be in event some more desirable candidate cannot be found that I will consent to run." Want Kellaher Out of Fight. Friends of Albee are known to be exert ing every influence to get Kellaher, the original Independent candidate, out of the fight. They , are making no negotia tions with Munly, the Democratic nomi nee, but are demanding that Kellaher show his loyalty to the direct primary by retiring from the field. This would not be a difficult job for the East Side groceryman to do, since he has not yet qualified as a candidate by filing a nomi nating petition. Thus far he has not begun circulating his nominating peti tions and the only thing he has done towards promoting his candidacy is his pre-prtmary' announcement that he would be a candidate. At the same time, it was learned yes terday that one element of the anti-Simon forces had gone over to Munly and was preparing .to boost the Democratic nomi nee against a promised dvlded Republican strength. Just what effect on them the candidacy of Albee will have is a ques tion. It obviously depends on how this class of anti-Simon voters regard the relative chances of Munly and Albee as against the regular Republican nominee. F"rom the beginning of the present en tanglement, it has been an assured cer tainty that the anti-assembly Republicans never would support Munly as against Simon. It is for that reason they have resolved to throw their strength to a member of their own party. Professing themselves to be the only friends of the direct primary, they assert that at this time they propose to refute the charge that, in Its operation, it makes for De mocracy and the election of Democrats to office. In order to establish their case, they concede that it is up to them to support and, if possible, elect a Republi can In preference to a member of the minority party. Incidentally, It has been reported WTat Kellaher, In his proposed Independent candidacy, has not received the assurances of support he had ex pected. Taking all of these conditions Into consideration, the anti-Simon forces have decided that Albee Is the strongest man to pit against Simon. Recall Agitation Dies Down. Agitation for the retirement of those memherB of the City Council who voted for the street railway franchise two weeks ago has abated. Advocates of the proposed recnll declare that the plan has not been abandoned entirely but has been deferred only temporarily until some decision can bo reached as to how the electors will receive the nomination of Councilmen as made in the recent pri mary election. Supporters of the recall movement are considering the matter of holding a mass meeting for the purpose of nominating candidates for Councilmen to oppose the five men selected in the Republican primaries. Pending a deter mination of this matter the recall subject will be allowed to rest. 11. D. Wagnon said yesterday that there was talk of assembling a mass meeting for the nomination of candidates for Councilmen. Three of the present mem bers of the Council Dunning, Menefee and Wallace against whom it was pro posed the recall should be Invoked, were renominated in the Republican primary election. These men all supported the railway franchise and there is a possibi lity that the movement for the recall against them may be substituted by nominating men to oppose them In the June election. Vnder tho direct primary law it is re quired that independent candidates for all municipal offices, whether nominated by petition or at mass meetings, must Qualify as canoldates by filing their peti tions with the City Auditor at least 15 days before the date of the general elec tion in June. Reference to the calendar shows that these petitions must be filed not later than Saturday. May 22. 'KNOCK" CAUSES PROTEST lluslncss Men Will Trace Down Slurs on Festival. Portland commercial interests wRl take action on the report that Seattle people, and particularly the hotels, are "knock ing" the Tortland Rose Festival. If this practice is common, as is reported, steps will be taken tc put a stop to it. Secretary Kdmond C. Glltner. of the Chamber of Cm.imerce, took the matter up yesterday and sent a telegram to Tom Richardson, manager of the publicity de partment of the Commercial Club, now en route to Seattle with the Portland business men's excursion, calling his at tention to the report as published in The Oregonian. The telegram follows: "See Interview with Mr. Tucker in to day's Oregonian regarding derogatory , rmtlces Portland Rose Festival In Se attle." What will be done In the matter re mains to be decided, but first of all the report mill either be substantiated or de nied officially. FUND IS BEING RAISED New Annex for Aid Society Will Be Krected. The regular monthly meeting of the board of trustees of th.e Boys' and Girls' Aid Society was held yesterday after noon in the chambers of Judge Gilbert. Those present were: Judge George H. Williams, F. E. Beach, Dr. T. L. Eliot, Judge C. E. Wolverton, Robert S. Far rell, Frederick Strong, Mrs. Levi White, Mrs. A. G. Barker, Mrs. C. R. Templeton, Mrs. 'J. A. Sladen, Mrs. H. H. Northup and Superintendent Gardner. The members welcomed Mr. Strong, who was elected to fill the vacancy made by the death of Miss Helen F. Spalding. Dr. Eliot, of the executive committee, reported that the committee had award ed the contract for the playhouse to D. P. Winters for the carpenter work and to Williams & Beggs for the plumbing, they having been the lowest bidders. The , playhouse will cost about 1703. This will be used as a gymnasium by the boys, and is especially meant for the Winter months, when they cannot play out of doors. Dr. Eliot reported that he had been successful so far in obtaining subscrip tions toward the erection of the new wing, and expected in the near future that three-fourths of the amount re quired would be pledged and that the building would be erected. Superintendent Gardner reported that there were on hand, April 1, 68 children at the Receiving Home, and received during April 34. making a- total of 92; disposed of during the month of April 27. leaving on hand May 1 65 children. Mrs. C. R. Templeton, secretary of the ladles' advisory board, reported that the ladies were doing their best to assist the finance committee in raising the necessary funds for the erection of the new wing, and that the same was very necessary 'to be built at once, as the Home was overcrowded and the chil dren were in danger of contracting dis eases thereby. NOMINATION COST DIME COUNCILMAN" WALLACE FILES CAMPAIGN STATEMENT. Election Expense Was Just Ten Cents Simon Spent $7 3 to Be Named for Mayor. According to a sworn statement filed in the office of City Auditor Barbur yester day, it cost Councilman H. W. Wallace just 10 cents to secure a renomination to that office at the hands of the Republican voters of the Second Ward in the recent primary election. The official returns show that Councilman Wallace received the nomination over W. W. Banks by a majority of 63, the vote being: Banks 376. Wallace 439. The campaign expenses of Joseph Simon, successful Republican nominee for Mayor, aggregated $73 as detailed in an affidavit filed by Mr. Simon In the City Auditor's office yesterday. Incidentally, it develops that Mr. Simon paid into the city $30 more than was due for the announcement of his candidacy in the pamphlet which was issued by the Auditor in compliance with the direct primary law. In estimat ing the amount . of matter presented by Mr. Simon for the official publication. Auditor Barbur figured that three pages would be required, which at $30 a page, amounted to $60. As a matter of fact, Mr. Simon's announcement required only two pages, so that he paid $20 too much. The detailed Items of Mr. Simon's cam paign expenses as enumerated in his sworn statement were: Printing nominat ing petitions, $7.50; printing statement argument and cut in official publication, $00; copper halftone portrait, $2 ; photo graphs, $1.25;. printing cards, $3.25. Mr. Simon accompanied his itemized state ment of primary election expenses with the following affidavit; I, Joseph Simon, having: been a candidate at the Republican primary nominating elec tion for the office of Mayor, held at the City of Portland, Or., on May 8, A. D. 1909, being first duly sworn, on oath do say: That I have carefully examined and read the return of my election expenses and receipts hereto attached, and to the beat of my knowledge and belief that re turn is full, correct and true.

Stanford to Irop Rowing. SEATTLE, Wash., May 12. The Uni versity of Washington faces the prospect of a rowing season without an important contest. A telegram received from the athletic manager of the Leland Stanford, Jr., University declares that the Califor nia institution will not bring a .crew to Seattle to participate in the intercolle giate race. The message adds that it is probable that racing as a sport will be dropped altogether at Stanford, owing to the lack of facilities for practice. Fine Work by Public School Pupils Exhibited at Museum Collection That Will Be Sent to Seattle Pair Includes Many Useful and Beautiful Articles. ATTRACTING much favorable com ment is the exhibition of the Port land public school work in manual training and trades which is to be sent to the A-Y-P Exposition, and which may be seen this week at the Museum of Art, Fifth and Taylor streets. The collection is a representative one, done by boys ranging in age from 12 to 17 years, from the' sixth to the ninth grades, inclusive, in the manual training department. The achievements in this line are really re markable in execution and finish. Or iginal designs have been used in many instances, and the articles shown vary from the huge library tables, chairs, grandfather clocks, desks and more mas sive furniture' to the thousand and one smaller articles that can be made by a craftsman in this line. The work has been done under the direction of Will iam J. Standley, who is in charge of the department, and represents approxi mately the work of the year. The Washinston High School has a splendid contriDution. including a mas sive carved settee, which was begun by the Industrial Art Club, composed of boys attending the manual training work shops of the Portland public schools, and completed by students of the Washing ton school. Other pieces of work done by this school are a beautifully made library table, a bookcase and huge clock, handsomely carved. The Holladay school has also contrib uted a clock, of different design, but which is 'equally good in workmanship and execution. GOUNTIS COMPLETE Official Republican Vote Is An nounced by Auditor. v i SIMON'S MAJORITY IS 731 Report Tallies Almost Exactly With Figures Compiled Night of Elec tion by The Oregonian Demo crats Nominate Opponents. An idea of the accuracy of Tho Ore gonian's election day figures may be gathered by comparing the official count with the vote as published by this paper on the morning following- either a pri mary or a general election. The official count so far as the Republican ticket is concerned in the recent primary nom inating election was completed yester day, and the final figures differ only slightly from those submitted by The Oregonian to its readers Sunday morning. Not including the, names of an occa sional candidate who received one or two votes for perhaps everjj one of the offices for which nominations were made, the official count, completed yesterday, shows the following results: ' Mayor.

Woodward 252 Ellis' plurality i 12 The canvassing board also yesterday completed the count of the Democratic vote In the recent primary election with the exception of one precinct. Careless ness on the part of the election board in Precinct 66 is accountable for the fact that the official result of the Dem ocratic . vote was not ascertained yes terday. It will be impossible for Auditor Barbur to get the correct figures as to the Democratic vote in that precinct un til today. However, the count assures that the Democrats have nominated four Repub licans to as many of the principal offices in the city. City Auditor Barbur, City Treasurer Werlein and City Attorney Kavanaugh all received more votes ; at the hands of the 800 Democrats partici pating iu the election than did the mem bers of that party who had been in dorsed for those respective nominations. J. J. Jennings, unsuccessful candidate for Councilman-at-large on the" Republican ticket, also has been nominated by the opposition party to the very office he was seeking at the hands of his own party. Altogether the Democrats in nom inating 12 candidates used the names of 222 citizens. , With Precinct 56 missing the Demo cratic vote for Councilman-at-large was: D. A. Chambers. 85; H. W. Stone, 68, and J. J. Jennings, 81. For Mayor, the Democrats gave Judge Munly a plurality of 66, the vote being: Lane. 328; Munly, 384. Three of the four Republican can didates for Mayor also received Demo cratic votes as follows: Rushlight, 176; Simon, 91; McDonell. 33. The Democratic vote for the other offices was as follows: Auditor. J. W. Ferguson, 32; G. I. Smith, 113; A. L. Barbur, 150; Treasurer, J. B. Werlein, 138; S. E. Holcomb, 84; G. I. Smith, 30; City Attorney. John Manning, 8; J. P. Kavanaugh, 156; Frank Schlegel, 85. A group of about 20 boys from the Ladd and Shattuck JSchools have made a miniature dwelling which is complete in detail. The Montavilla School has con tributed some especially beautiful inlaid work, the inlays on several of the pieces being in mother of pearl. Lyndon Scott, from this school, has constructed one of the handsomest pieces in the entire col lection, a writing desk. The Sellwood and Failing Schools have, among other articles, a construction in wood showing the mechanism of an en gine. The Couch and Chapman School3 are represented with an interesting col lection in beaten copper work. Miss Allen's class, from the Sunnyside School, has contributed an embryo oisoitiee of unique lines, with a table and desk. The Trades School exhibit in practical and mechanical draughting is particu larly attractive. Equipment for all sort3 of instruments, electric gongs, wireless telegraphy, casting and molding, wood turning and draughting are exhibited ex amples of achievement in this line. The drawing and painting exhibit has been selected from the regular work of the classes, showing the development from elemental color and line work in the first grades, to the exceptionally well executed compositions of the ninth grade pupils with water-color, ink and charcoal as mediums. The collection will be on exhibition to the public during this week, ;.nd on Sun day afternoon from 2 to 6 o'clock. Ad mission is free today, Saturday and Sun day afternoon and evening.

Representative Crowd of Republi cans Attends Party Love-Feast' in Selling-Hirsch Hall. Pledges by defeated candidates to sup port the party at the election Jurie 7 formed the keynote of the Republican ratification meeting held in the Selling Hirsch " building last night. There was one exception. Councilman Rushlight, ex candidate for the nomination for Mayor, sent the following message by means of Charles E. Lockwood, .secretary of the Republican Club: "I will do nothing against the ticket as nominated. But I have not yat made up my mind whether to support it." Although he slipped in apparently un noticed, ex-Senator Fulton was observed by the chairman. Judge M. C. George, and called upon. Senator Fulton said: "I came here because I heard the Re publican jarty had had a new birth in the State of Oregon. I have heard the excellent sentiments expressed and I am sure the enthusiasm now raised will carry the ticket and party on to victory. "If it means anything to belong to a political party, it means that we believe in getting together, uniting and consult ing. , The assembly means that we should get together" and decide what is best. The people have expressed their choice and the duty of Republicans is to get together and to say the men the people have put up shall be elected." Amidst prolonged applause Joseph Simon was Introduced as Mayor Simon. "We have been unfortunate in past Re publican nominations," said. Mr. Simon. "I do not mean in 'the nominations them selves, but in the fact that the people have not ratified those nominations. It is a matter of regret to me that we have had Democratic Senators, Sheriffs and high city officials. I believe every Re publican should Join the majority apart from his personal feelings. I believe and know I shall be elected. "I don't care for ofuce now," he said, "but I certainly do not Intend to be defeated. A clean administration will cut out machine politics. There can be no such thing as machine politics now. The direct primary and general election would prevent the formation and operation of a machine." Colonel Charles E. McDonell, a de feated candidate for Mayor, spoke of the pleasure ratification gave him. "I had an ambition to be Mayor,'"' he said, "I made. a good, clean fight but I was unsuccessful. Now I have a new am bition, and that is to elect the ticket nominated from top to bottom." A- A. Bailey said he ought to be in Mr. Simon's place. . He had kept an alphabe tical index of the voters promised to sup port him and there were 15,500. He sup posed that as he had not been elected his voters had not come out. As Mr. Simon's had, he congratulated him. City Attorney Kavanaugh, City Auditor Barbur, Frank S.- Bennett, Seneca Fouts, Gay Lombard, Fred J. Brady and W. W. Banks also spoke. - The following resolution was unani mously adopted: Resolved, by the Republicans of Portlind in man meeting assembled, that we heartiiy ratify and Indorse the nominations made by the Republican voters of this city at the direct primary nominating election last Sat urday, and respectively ask every sincere Republican and citizen desiring- a good, clean and efficient city administration, to vote the ticket at the city election June 7, next.

On the coffee question a lady says: "I used to be so miserable after breakfast that I did not know how to get through the day. Life was a bur den to me. When I tried to sleep I was miserable by having .horrible dreams followed by hours of wakeful ness. Gas would rise on my stomach and I would belch almost continually. Then every few weeks I "vould have a long siege of sick headaches. I tried a list of medicines and physicians with out benefit. - "Finailly, I concluded to give up my coffee and tea altogether and use Postum. The first cup was a failure. It was widhy-washy and I offered to give the remainder of the package to any one who would take it. "I noticed later on in one of the ad vertisements that 'Postum should be boiled at least 15 minutes to make it good. I asked the cook how she made it and she said 'Just the same as I did tea, being careful not to let it steep too long.' "I read the directions and concluded Postum had not had a fair trial, so we made a new lot and boiled it 15 to 20 minutes. That time it came to the table a different beverage and was so delicious that we have been using it ever since.

FRUIT HAWKERS ARRESTED Inspector Evans Charges Nine With Selling Decayed Strawberries. Street peddlers of fruit and straw berries have received their first annual visit of inspection from Mrs. Sarah Ann Evans, City Market Inspector, and as a result no fewer than nine were In the toils of the police last night, ar rested on warrants sworn out by Mrs. Evans, and required to post $10 bail each to guarantee either their appear ance in court or to cover the amount of their prospective fines. The victims of the inspection were accused of selling strawberries unfit for . consumption, they are Mat and H. Schwartz, 251 Hooker street; N. Lentin, 435 First street; v. Wagermann, 647 Fifth stree't; W. Chekefsky, 625 First street; ' A. Labgovsky, 566 Fourth Street; N. M. Gehman, 31 North Sixth street; Moses Hafter, 1297 Kelly street and John Smith, 354 First street. All of the men arrested were caught on Monday night about 6 o'clock, be tween Washington and Morrison streets on First and Fourth streets. In pre senting the facts before Deputy City Attorney R. A. Sullivan, who prepared the complaints in each case, Mrs. Evans said that these particular peddlers had not made their appearance on the street - earlier that afternoon, anu came out late with fruit in a terribly decayed condition, evidenly bent upon catching the crowd during the even ing rush, and timing their appearance so as to avoid the inspectors. The ber ries were in such bad condition that Mrs. Evans confiscated the contents of waguna ana caused 94 crates to be destroyed , The crates bore the name of a prominent commission house on Front street. "We shall not stop at the peddlers. If it is possible to get the commission merchants," said Mrs. Evans last night. "The wholesale merchants who sell to the hawkers are really responsible. If they exercised the proper care the bad fruit would not make its appearance on the local market. I intend to watch them and if I catch any of them nap ping and find bad fruit or berries in their possession I will confiscate it and prosecute them, too."
