THE MOItXIXG OREGOXIAX. FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1909. ALBEE FORMALLY ENTERS CONTEST Announces That He Will Lead Faction Opposed to Simon in Mayoralty Race. PLANS 'FOR HIS CAMPAIGN Friends Will Endeavor to Induce Kellaher to Withdraw, That Chances May Bo Better to Defeat Nominee. H. R. Albee. State Senator, yesterday yielded to the demands of the anti-Simon forces and consented to become an in dependent candidate for Mayor. In an nouncing his candidacy Mr. Albee ad mitted that he did so with some re luctance and only when his friends as sured him that he was the only man on whom the opposition to Simon could concentrate , with anything like united support. Othfr than to say that he would make the fight on an antl-maehlne platform a an earnest friend and advocate of the direct primary, Mr. Alboe was not Jirepared yesterday to make any definite announcement as to a platform. Neither has he decided on any plan of cam paign. It will be his purpose, however, to come Into personnl contact with as many voters as possible before the elec tion, June 7. Xo Other Candidate Available. "The announcement in The Oregonian this morning that I was willing to be come an independent candidate if no other man could bo found on whom the opposition to Mr. Simon could 'unite did the work," said Mr. Albee yester day. "I was urged to enter the contest before the primary election, but would not consent. Following the assembly end the result of the primary nominating election increased pressure was brought to hear on me, with the result that I have decided to ask from the voters of Portland their support as an Independent anti-machine candidate for election as Mayor. I consented to become a candi date only when I was assured by my Xrlends that no other man was available on whom they could concentrate their strength as much as they could on me. As a friend and believer In the direct pri mary I shall go before the people for their indorsement." Mr. Albee Is not without some experi ence In Portland and Multnomah County rmlltlca. Beveral years aro he served aa a member of the City Council. Four years tigo he was supported by the re form forces for the Republican nomina tion for Mayor and ' was defeated by Oeorge H. Williams by about 900 votes. Last June he was elected State Senator from this county as a member tof he Statement No. 1 ticket. ' May Crowd Out Kellaher. Friends of Mr. Albee will first direct their efforts to keep his legislative col league. Senator Kellaher, who contem plates becoming an independent candi date, out of the race. - They will under take to convince the Bafit Side aspirant that Mr. Albee is the stronger candidate and that with the anti-Simon vote di vided between two men the election of the regular Republican nominee in June will be just as easy as was his nomina tion in the primary election. If Mr. Kellaher will agree to retire, friends of Mr. Albee believe he has a chance to win. They recognize that there is no likelihood of Judge Munly, the pemocratic nominee, getting out of the field. At the same time they do not regard Mr. Munly's candidacy seriously, for the reason, they aver, that he will not be able to land the full Democratic vote, while he cannot expect any Re publican support. Mr. Albee's support ers are confident that he will be sup ported by the Iane Democrats, or at least many of them. There are three steps in the campaign programme of the Albee people. In the first place they will urge Mr. Kellaher to quit the fight that the anti-Simon Re publican strength may be concentrated on Mr. Albee. Tt will also be repre sented to the voters that the direct pri mary law Is at stake in the approaching election and that Mr. Albee stands for its preservation. - In the third place some definite plan will be arranged for getting a full vote out in the June elec tion. Mr. - Albee's supporters are stak ing the possibility of their candidate's success In no small - measure on their . ability to get out their full vote. They appreciate the fact that the Simon forces will get their voters out on election day and are aware that their only chance of winning Is to get out the opposition vote. riUXT PAMPHLET FOK VOTERS Auditor Will Issue Synopsis of Fro posed Laws. Under the provisions of the direct primary law. City Auditor Karbur Is having printed 5000 pamphlets, con taining a synoposis of the 82 questions proposed either by he initiative or referendum, on which the voters "of this city will be expected to vote next month. The printing of the pamphlet, which will consist of 164 pages, has been delayed by reason of the fact that the authority of the Auditor to place four of the measures on the bal lot has been taken Into court. That officer has been made the de fendant In two mandamus suits brought to require him to place on the ballot the petition carrying a bond issue of J!. 000. 000 for a municipal light plant and another creating an excise board for the regulation of the liquor traffic, injunction suits have been tiled against the Auditor restraining him from plac ing on the ballot the proposal for the Market-street bridge and the measure proposed by the electrical linemen and providing for a more careful hanging of these wires. It will be impossible to complete printing the pamphlet be fore these questions have been settled In the courts. CLOSED RIVER BRIDGES Writer Recommends: 5 to I A. M. ; Noon to 2 and 5 to 8 P. M- PORTLAXD, May 13. (To the Editor.) The Oregonlan's agitation for the regu lation of opening the bridges across the Willamette River is very proper and to the point. It Is plain that something Should be" done, and done speedily. The greater wonder is that the public lias stood the nuisance and abuse as long as it has.- But practical regulating is called for. To close the bridges only one hour , at noon, morning and evening, would i only make it worse for some people, i The only.snni3lbl regulation s'.Mild be this: Close the draws between o and 9 in the morning, 12' and 2 at noon and 5 and 8 o'clock in the evening.. Just at 5 A. M. workingmen to go to work com mence crossing" the bridges. . and up to 9 A. M., when office men go to work, there should be no interruption in the traffic. The draws should be closed between noon and 2 P. M. because some people take lunch between noon and 1 P. M., others between 1 and 2 P. M-. and should also be closed between S and 8 P. M. Just at 6 P. M. people leave their work at build ings, offices, etc., and there . Is a con stant stream of travelers over the bridges up to 8 P. M., some people coming from work, others having been home for din ner and going back to church, societies, etc. During these hours, traffic should not be delayed on account of opened draws. This is very sensible, and noth ing less will be satisfactory. Ninety eight per cent of the people have a right to the bridges for nine hours of the day. when the 2 per cent have the bridges 15 hours, and during these IS hours the draws should never remain open more than 10 minutes at one time. The writer lived for a long time in a city, a larger port than Portland, where the bridges are opened only during four hours of the day. between 9 and 11 A. M. and 2 and 4 P. M. There, the bridges are swung right around, so that when the boat is half way through on one side of the draw, the other end commences clos ing the other way. so that no time is lost. Why Is not this done in Portland? One correspondent in The Oregonian complains about the operators of the bridges, and there are reasons for com plaints. It seems as if these operators are generally engaged spying a boat in the far distance, and that they open the draws a long time before necessary, of fending the thousands who cross the bridges and pay their salaries, all to ac commodate a few tramps on the river. T remember well one occasion showing plainly the unfitness of the men some times in charge. Some years ago the city had arranged fireworks on the East Side for July 4. Just as the entertainment was over and thousands of people began to return over the Steel bridge to reach home, a small craft signalled the bridge, and Instead of "blowing down" the boat, notifying it by the, whistle to wait, the bridge was closed against thousands of people, to let the boat pass. There was such a jam on the bridge, every inch of it crowded, not only the sidewalks but the driveways as well, that it was im possible to move, and the bridge rocked to and fro like a drunken man, caused by the moving about of the people. Never did I expect to come off the bridge alive that time, and it is a great wonder that the bridge did not tip over, causing deaths by the hundred. Now, it is plain that said bridge operators were at that time either half asleep or otherwise men tally unfit for their trust,, and if there are yet such men on any of the bridges, they should certainlv be removed. ALBRECHT 3. SCHUMANN. POSTMEN WILL PARADE MAIL-CARRIERS ARE TO GO AFTER ELK TROPHY. More Than 2 0 Organizations Agree to Participate in "Homecoming Day" June 7. Picking up the gauntlet flung down by the Maccabees as announced in yester day's Oregonian, the Portland Mail Car riers" Association has notified the "Homecoming day" committee of tMe Rose Festival that there would be at least 100 of Uncle Sam's uniformed employes ready to, fight for the big Klk trophy,, which now seems to be the prize for which the many fra ternal associations are struggling. The employes of the local office have a well trained organization, and they voted unanimously to go after the classic prize of the opening parade. Arrangements will be made to have a band lead the di vision of mail carriers, and between now and June 7, when the parade is to be held, there will be special coaching In fancy drills and maneuvers. Chairman Seneca Fouts said after meeting with the committee that he thought it would be an easy matter to arrange to have the boys appear in the parade immediately following the Ore gon National Guard, for the reason that both organizations represented branches of the Government service. The Elk trophy, which Is to be awarded to the organizations making the best appearance in the parade, is to be one of the finest loving-cups that has ever been hung up in a celebration in Port land. The matter of cost has not been considered, the plan .of the Klks being to show their Interest in the affair, because they c,ould not enter a marching club and felt ihat they ought ta do something to how their Hvlc pride and loyal citizenship. It is now assured that the "Home coming day" parade will be a fine turn out of military, fraternal and social or ganizations, more than 20 individual or ganizations having offered their serviced. The Royal Arcanum is planning some unique forms of .entertainment for this event -which the, committee will not di vulge. O. O. Hall, secretary of Oregon Council No. 1582, says in his letter that every assistance, that can be ren lero.1 will be given, and that means the Royal Arcanum will spare no means to pet into the running. Joe Clark, corresponding secretary of the Bricklayers' International Union No. .1. of Oregon, called at the meeting yes terday and said that his organization had named a committee and that It was ready to do anything it could to help out the Festival. He said:' "As a matter, of fact I would like to see every man in the city of Portland who has the least bit of pride in this good old tpwn In his heart Jump in and help make 'Homecoming day" and all the other days the . big success they ought to .be. The Festival is a bigger thing than most of is know anything about, .and if I . had my own way. the whole week would be a civic holiday." Nothing that Portland has ever done has given us. one-tenth the advertising all over the country that the Rose Festival has. - As a union man I want to declare myself as a Rose Festival booster 24 hours in the day the year around."

FACILITIES TO BE TAXED Several Trains Have Been Chartered and Other Parties Will Come in Special Cars Will Be Well Entertained. More delegates will be present at Port land during the National Retail Grocers' Convention, June 2-5, than have attended any other convention held by tne asser tion. So certain is this that Charles B. Merrick, secretary of the local associa tion, is beginning to feel worried to know how hotel accommodations will be found for all who come. Not only the delegates are coming, but many have notified the National secretary of their intention to bring their families. In one respect there is a limit to the number that can be cared for. The ban quent hall of the Commercial Club, where the delegates will be entertained on their last day. seats exactly 350,. while the Bailey Gatzert, which will carry about 650, is intended to accommodate all the visitors, whether they are delegates or members of city and state associations. The banquet will be given only to dele gates who have presented their creden tials. Anxious to See Roses. One reason that Is causing the rush to Portland Is the unique advertising car ried out by the Portland delegation at Boston last year. Although Denver had been pulling hard for the convention for a year, the small Portland delegation. In two days' work, stampeded a majority of 80 in favor of Oregon and Oregon roses. There will be at least four special trains bringing delegates and their friends and a considerable number of spe cial cars. The special trains will travel to Portland via San rrancisco. There is one exception, the St. Louis train, which reverses the usual route and will come to Portland via Canada, returning via California. This train will remain the full four days in Portland, and will stop one day at the A-Y-P Fair. This train will leave St. Louis May 24, running over the Burlington to St. Paul, where a stop of one day will be made. From St. Paul the run will be over the Canadian Pacific to Vancouver. One day will be spent sightseeing in Winnipeg and another at Banff, where a ride will be taken to the Canadian National Park and other points of interest. Corpulent grocers will have the opportunity to try the efficacy of . sulphur springs, while those of the party wishing to bathe in ice-cold fresh water will be accommo dated. At Glacier a visit will be paid to Illo clllewaet Glacier. Illoctllewaet means mountain of Ice' and at this time of year the great glacier will be In excellent con dition. From Glacier the scenic route through Kicking Horse Pass and the Fraser River Canyon will be followed to Vancouver.. Seattle will be reached June 1 and Portland in time for the opening of the convention the following day. At Portland delegates may stay in the sleepers If they wish or special rates have been provided at two of the local hotels. It is expeted that most of the visitors will want to get out of the cars. Leaving Portland, stops will be made at Mount Shasta, . San Francisco, San Jose, Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Bar bara, Los Angeles, Santa Catalina Islands, Riverside and Salt Lake City. From Salt Lake City, those wishing to visit the Yellowstone National Park may make the side trip, but on ordinary schedule the party will be back in St. Louis, June 18. The St. Louis train will embrace mem bers from Arkansas, as well as from St. Paul and Minneapolis. The train will travel 65S2 miles at an individual" cost of J7.14 a day. Dally travel will average 250 miles. A piano Is to be carried and dancing is to be a feature for the young people. The excursion means great self-denial on the part of the grocers. It occurs in their busiest month. The usual time for the convention is January, but the Port , land delegation wanted the visitors when the roses were in bloom to fulfill the promise made last year at Boston, when half a dozen .girls distributed Portland roses among the delegates. THUGS ASSAULT AND ROB Texas Citizen Pays Costly Visit to Bad Lands. , As the outcome of leaving his wife behind and going out to take in the sights of Portland alone, H. W. Case, of Pecos City, Tex., is nursing an empty purse and divers bad bruises about the face and head, not to mention an ex cessive dark brown taste.

MALE FLIRTS IN JAIL PliAZA BLOCK MASHERS LAN GUISH IN CELL. James No la n and 31. Fitzsimmons Are Arrested After Annoying Two Young Women. By wandering Into the south Plaza block, reserved for -women, and attempt ing to form the acquaintance of two girls who were seated at a bench in the shade, two young mashers came to grief late yesterday afternoon. On complaint of the girls the male flirts were seized by the police and summarily thrown In jail. The police are becoming' annoyed by the frequency of complaints against mashers and harsh treatment is here after to be accorded all who are caught annoying women on the streets. James Nolan and M. Fitzsimmons, 11 First street, are the young- men now in jail as a result of their flirtatious con duct. Miss Magdalene Mertz, 3724 Bast Morrison street, and Miss Ethel Halsey, 131H Union avenue, are the ones who were annoyed. They have -been cited to appear in the Municipal Court this morn ing to describe the conduct of the two young men. Nolan and Fitzeimmons set forth on their mashing expedition about 4 o'clock. Unmindful of the fact that men are not permitted to enter the south Plaza block, unless escorting women, the two ven turesome Lotharios went boldy into the restricted area and began ogling the women they met. Miss Mertz and Miss Halsey were seated in the shade eating1 peanuts when the bold mashers came up. With brazen impudence Nolan and Fitzsimmons walked up to the bench, sat down, one on each side of the young women, and attempted to pick up a conversation. "Fine weather, girls. Great for a drive. Are you on?" and kindred re marks emanated from the youths. Mis taking silence for encouragement, Fitz simmons grew bold enough to reach over and dip his fingers Into Miss Mertz' bag of peanuts. "There's too many of them nuts for one little girl to eat," he said in his most captivating -voiced And then the storm broke.. The young woman told him what she thought of him. Then she left the place with Miss Halsey. En countering a policeman, they told him of their experience, and the mashers were arrested. "One hundred dollars bail apiece," was Captain Moore's order when the pair was led before him. Captain Moore has lit tle patience with mashers. There wasn't J 25 between the two, and inasmuch as they could devise no means of raising $100 apiece they were locked up in the darkest and most dreary cell that Night Jailer Burke could pick out.
