SIMON'S ELECTION SEEMS SURE Munly and Albee Backers, However, Refuse to Give Up. VOTE MAY GO TO 24,000 Interest In 35 Initiative Bills Is Counted On to Bring Out Elec tors Managers of All Three Camps Are Claiming Victory. TOTIJTO FLACES JiOT CHAXGED. Voting places in today' election will be the same In every precinct as were used In the primary election last month. The polls -will open at 8 A. M. and close at 7 P. M. As In former municipal elections, electors standing in line at their respective votlnir places at 7 o'clock tonight will be permitted to vote. Today Is not a legal holiday under the state law. Under proclamation by Mayor Lan, however, offices at the City Hall will be closed for the day, but business will be transacted at the Court-house and by the banks as usual. Saloons are required to be closed while the polls are open. Indications favor the election today of Joseph Simon for Mayor and the entire Republican ticket as nominated. Sup porters of Senator Albee, Independent Ropuhlican, however, are hopeful of a his; vote and predict that If 76 per cent of the registered vote Is cast their candidate will be elected. The Demo crats are making; the extravagant claim that, regardless of the percentage of the registered vote that may be polled. Judge M. G. Munly, nominee of the minority party, will be elected. The friends of Mr. Simon will not concede that the chances of Albee will be Improved by a heavy vote and Insist that the larger the vote cast the greater will be the majorities of the regular Republican nominees. Chairman Manley, of the Republican City Central Committee; Chairman Thomas, of the Democratic City Central Committee, and Senator C. tV. Notting ham, chairman of Albee's Central Com mittee, were yesterday practically agreed in their estimates as to the probable vote that will be cast In today's elec tion. Each of the chairmen estimated the tbtal vote at from 18,000 to 21,000, or about SO per cent of the registration, which exceeds 3&000 in this city. Estimates May Be Low. It Is believed these estimates are low for the reason that Interest in the pend ing amendments undoubtedly will mate rially increase the vote today, which would be light, admittedly, if only mu niclpal officers were to be chosen. It is generally regarded a conservative es timate in predicting that the total vote will reach 22,000 and may go to 24,000. The chairmen of the organizations sup porting the three leading aspirants for the Mayoralty last night made the fol lowing forecast: A. B. Manley, chairman Republican City Central Committee I do not believe the total vote In tomorrow's election will ex ceed between 18.000 and 19.000. I am sat isfied that the entire Republican ticket. headed by Mr. Simon for Mayor, will be elected by. large majorities. For a time there was some little doubt of the election of Joseph T. Ellis, nominee for Councilman in the Tenth Ward, but re ports received from different sections of that ward yesterday assure the election of Mr. Ellis. Republicans are sanguine of making a clean sweep and electing every man on the ticket by most sub stantial majorities. Thomas Give Munly 8850. Oeorg-e H. Thomas, chairman Demo cratic City Central Committee From as surances I have received from the friends of the late Senators Corbett and Mitch ell and Judge George H. Williams, the demoralization of the Albee forces and the withdrawal of Mr. Kellaher I am confident Judge Munly will be elected Mayor tomorrow. I estimate that the total vote polled will be 21.000. distrib uted as follows: Prohibitionists, 600; So cialists. 1100; not voting for Mayor. 200; Munly, SSS0; Simon. 7700; Albee, 3250. The voters recognize in Judge Munly the log ical reform candidate and the man who stands for the direct primary and the people's interests. C. TV. Nottingham, chairman Albee's Central Committee I expect that the total vote in Monday's election will be at least 20.000. I think the chances of Mr. Albee's election are excellent. This Is a contest one cannot tell anything about. Another such election has never been held in this city. It is impossible to determine Just what the great majority of voters intend to do. Many are not com mitting themselves but they will vote right. It is the quiet vote that will count and Mr. Alhee will get his share. - CJuiet at Headquarters. Everything was quiet and peaceful at the Simon and Albee headquarters. There was considerable activity at the Demo cratic headquarters In the Merchants Trust building where several of the faith- (Uoncludcd on Page 3.) Protest May Be Made Against Al leged Violation of Agree- OTTAWA. June . Special.) The fact that the United States gunboat Nashville, which has passed through the Canadian waterway up to the Great Lakes, will make eight American cruisers there, is causing much adverse criticism in the press of the Dominion, and It is not im probable a formal protest will be made to the United States authorities in the matter. At least some inquiry will be made with reference to the situation. One member of the Federal Cabinet, whose attention was drawn to the mat ter, expressed the opinion that the Unit ed States Government has exceeded the terms of an arrangement in respect to war vessels on the lakes, but as to what action the Canadian authorities would take he declined to state, beyond assert ing the question would be looked into. At the Department of State here it was stated there was a popular misconcep tion that a treaty exists between the United States and Great Britain as to the maintenance of warships on the Great Lakes. There is, in fact, no such treaty. PIPE IS CAUSE OF DEATH Paralytic Burns; Mother In Next Room Unable to Help. BUTTE, Mont., June 6.

RESCUE LONG IN COMING Pair Drifts Against Stump, Where Line Is Thrown and Man Pulled Out Wife's Body Recovered After Heroic Efforts. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., June 6. Aaron Cohen, of Buffalo, N. Y., saw his young wife leap into the swirling river between Second and Third Sisters is lands today, only 150 feet above the brink of the cataract. Without a moment's hesitation, he fol lowed her, caught her hand, and strug gled desperately to save her. Mrs. Cohen probably died in her husband's arms. Before It was possible to bring effi cient help an hour had passed. All this time Cohen was making frantic at tempts to reach the shore. But the strug gle against the current at this point It is about 20 miles an hour was beyond his power. Fortune Aids Struggle. . iy fortune aiaea nim. However, With his f wife tightly clasped to him he bumped into a tree stump, and on this he got a grip with his one free hand. There he stayed and shouted for help. Finally word was carried to the reser vation police, and Policeman James Mar tin and three other men with ropes hur ried to the scene. Three times they threw a rope before it fell within Cohen's grasp. When he did catch it, he was too weak to tie it about his own or his wife's waist. Can't Hold Wife Above Water. The two were 20 feet away from shore, and it was extremely difficult, owing to the precarious nature of the footing, to make a good cast. Pinned against the tree by the terrific rush of water, all the strength had gone out of Cohen, and he had been unable to keep his wife's face above water. i Once Cohen had hold of the rope, the men ashore began to pull. Martin, -who was in front, slipped and fell Into the stream, but quickly regained his footing. When within 15 feet of the shore, Cohen lost his grip on his wife's body, and it was carried down stream and was lost to view. Cohen was so far gone when the rescu ers got him on shore that, he could not speak for ten minutes. His first words were: "She is out there. Go and get her. She is dead. She died in my arms."

It was in May, 1907, that the . festival idea was conceived. suggested by the rich tribute of roses which nature has bestowed upon this community, and in the brief period that has since elapsed Portland has taken and can defend a position high among the cities of the earth that hold their fiestas carnivals and other forms of distinctive and individual celebration. , Festival Echoes Reach Far. Heralded as it has been far beyond the reach of our civic voice, far beyond the confines of our state and even to the far reaches of other lands.

Jr., son of John L. Spreckels, the San Francisco multi-mil lionaire, and Miss Mary Adele Case, the petite, dark-eyed young Oregon woman who has literally sung her way from obscurity to choir fame in Paris.
