THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, 3IAY 24, 1910. DEMOCRATS READY TO At Least Three State Offices to Be Striven for Hotly by Minority Party. HOPE TO ELECT GOVERNOR Two Representatives In Congress Also Included Anions Objects Sought Assembly Talk la Kife In Minority Ranks. A full ticket will be submitted by the Democratic party In Multnomah County and all Oregon this Fall In the general state and county elections. That Is, If the necessary number of candidates can be found to fill out the ticket, who are willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of party pride end organization. - There will be only one qualification, as developments thus far show. Each candidate must subscribe to the lead ership of United States Senator Cham berlain. Oregon's Junior Senator has absolute control of his party's ma chinery and according to local leaders could. If he cared, name the entire ticket. Three State Oflces Wanted.- Democrata this year will be really serious about three states offices, and possibly five. One county office In particular will be sought. Other nom inations will be given In the nature of empty honors. That is the situation at present, its action on other offices depending on what happens at the Re publican county assembly July 16 and the state assembly July 21. The state offices are those of the two Representatives in Congress and the Governorship. A strong fight may be made to have Justices King and Slater of the State Supreme Court, who were appointed by Senator Chamber lain while Governor, to fill out unex pired terms, returned to their seats. Circuit Judge "W. N. Gatens. who ilke-wise-was appointed by Governor Cham berlain, will make the race for re election. There is little hope, however, of his success. It Is thought. Assembly Talk Heard. A strong sentiment is already held by some party leaders for an assem bly of Democrats along the line of the Republican assembly, where recom mendations will be made to the regu lar primary September 24 for nomina tions. This undoubtedly would be done, from expressions gathered dur ing the last week in a canvass of sen timent among leading Democrats of Portland, were it not for the fact that already local leaders have been trying to make political capital out of the fact that the Republicans are to hold one. It is argued by leaders that there is little probability of general Demo cratic success and that instead of as pirants for nominations being forced to spend momy making a campaign for them before the primary. It would be better to meet in convention and decide these matters. "Were it not for a lack of Congres sional possibilities the Democrats would center' their strength on that fight, owing to the existence of what is called an insurgent . feeling. Espe cially would they do this in the second district. The only name thus far men tioned is that of C. K. Henry, a well known real estate man. Mr. Henry has so many and large, business affairs, however, that It is Tlot believed he could be prevailed upon to make the race. Alignment Is Made. Democratic leaders and' self-constl-xtuted labor organization leaders al ready have made an alignment for mu tual advantages, it is said, and the fact that Mr. Henry is not overly strong with union labor would be against him and in the event of his nomination might result in a split of otherwise entirely friendly relations. There are several who would look with favor on; the Gubernatorial nomi nation. Among these are Tom Word, ex-Sheriff of Multnomah County; Tod Rinehart, of Baker City; Judge M. G. Munly, of Portland; Dr. Harry Lane, ex-Mayor of Portland; Judge James Hamilton, of Roseburg, end J. . H. Smith, of Astoria. For minor offices few names are be ing mentioned. In an effort to arouse party enthusiasm a state jubilee will 'be held In Portland some time within the next two months. UNIFORMITY IS ADVOCATED Books In All Countries Should Be Alike, Says Educator. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 23. (Spe cial.) That there should be a uniform selection of books for all public schools throughout the state, is the opinion of J. V. Flke, principal of the Minnehaha School, and who had charge of the state examinations for applicants de siring to get a certificate from the eighth grade. Now there is only county uniformity, and the state questions for examina tions are not chosen with reference to any particular county, which, it is held by a number of those taking the examinations, makes it manifestly un fair. Sixty-five young people, who had taken the eighth grade work, took V-ie examinations for certificates in Van- couver Friday and Saturday, and it is estimated by those conducting the ex- , amlnations that not more tfian one-half will pass. This is not altogether the fault of the applicants, as the questions were not picked out with reference to the books they had been studying. DEVLIN SUITSDUE SOON Effort to Secure Postponement of Cases Fails. Determined effort to have postponed until the Fall term the. hearing of the suits of Receiver Devlin against the former officers and directors of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, was made in the Circuit Court yesterday by Attorney C. W7-Fulton. The case is one in which the receiver is attempt ing to secure the return of sums al leged to have been wrongfully, dissi pated by the former officers prior to the suspension of the bank In the panic of 1907. , Mr. Fulton pointed out that a large number of attorneys were concerned in the case, and that it would be impossi ble to find a date on which, some of . than aid not bare. Important engage MAKE CAMPA ments, unless the case was set for the beginning of the Fall term, when all concerned could commence with a clean calendar. The request was strongly opposed by A E. Clark, attorney for the receiver, who said that if delays were granted until all the attorneys could find clear time the case would never come to trial. "I suppose these gentlemen would be willing to have the suit dis missed entirely." he said. Attorneys for other defendants be side the Moores, represented by Mr. Fulton, expressed their readiness to be gin the trial, but thought some defer ence should be shown to his engage ments. As Mr. Fulton Is at present engaged in the Scriber trial in the Fed eral Court, it was agreed by all that the cases should not be set ,for the present week. Judge Morrow insisted, however, that sufficient delay had al ready been granted. "Thia Is an Important case, involv ing a matter of general interest to the public and I think it should be dis posed of." said Judge Morrow. "The Supreme Court has promised to send another Judge here, largely on account of this case, and to put it off now would put the bench and bar in a silly position before the public. I will set the case for next Monday." This being found to be a legal holi day, the Judge amended the order and it was finally determined that the trial shall commence on Tuesday, May 31.

CLEW SOUGHT TO MURDER Davidteon Still Prisoner Pending In quiry Into Thrasher's Death. JACKSONVILLE, Or., May 23. (Spe cial.) Though there were no new de velopments In the. Thrasher murder case here today, it Is probable that the In vestigation at Ayer's Spur, where young Jesse Thrasher met death, will reveal a clew leading to the slayer of the Jack sonville Doy on the night of May 3.

With the an nouncement that the family had offered a reward of $250, together with $500 by the county authorities and mill company, for which the dead man worked, it was expected that the slayer would be run to earth early. The authorities here are in ignorance as to the whereabouts of the Putnam Xamily, the daughter of which was the at traction of the lumber camp and believed to be the cause of trouble between Thrasher and his slayer.

Cattlemen Disagree With Corpora tions Over Space Allowed lor Animals In Transit. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 23. Controversy has arisen between the railroads and large livestock shippers in regard to space in cars which must be afforded animals in transit from one state to another in order to make unloading unnecessary and still comply with the 28-hour law. The Agricultural Department today ten tatively announced that If cars are not loaded beyond the minimum weight fixed by the tariffs, the department will npt for the present raise the question as" to whether sufficient space Is provided. for animals to rest; but railroads which load beyond the minimum and do not unload for the rest will have to take their chances of prosecution in the courts. The department will Institute test cases and secure rulings from Federal CourtB as to what space" must be afforded. The department says this is the only course open, since no power is given the Secre tary of Agriculture by law to make regu lations regarding space to be afforded in the cars. In. all cases where livestock is not un loaded en route for rest, water and feed ing, cars must be provided with facilities for feeding and watering in transit and livestock must, when so fed and watered, receive proper feed and water.

PERSIA CAUSES CONCERN GERMANY, GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA INVOLVED. Germany Protests Against Joint Warning Not to Grant Rail - way Concessions. BERLIN, May 23. A serious diplo matic controversy is in progress be tween the German government on one side and Great Britain and Russia on the other, regarding an open door in Persia. Germany protests against the joint warning of the other two powers to Persia not to grant railway concessions to Germans. This warning was deliv ered some weeks ago, and the dispute arose much as did the difference be tween Germany and France in Morocco. Complications in Persia have been anticipated since it was made known in St. Petersburg that Russia and Great Britain would refuse to admit the po litical Interests of a third power in that kingdom. The Anglo-Russian note, to which objection is made, demanded that Persia should not grant strategic rail road concessions to a third power or negotiate a loan with one, thus impair ing the security of earlier Anglo-Russian loans. Soon after the note was Issued Count von Pourtales. the German Ambassador at St. Petersburg, made representations to the Russian government intimating that the attitude of Russia and Great Britain was a matter of concern to Ger many. LILLIS PROTEST HEARD Unjustified Arrest Alleged Against Corporation's Special Officer. ' Unjustified arrests, said to have been made by W. P.

The arrest Sunday of Louis Thomp son by Lillis on the charge of having exceeded the speed limit and running over a child, was found to have been an error, and the case was dismissed, as Lillis failed to support the charge with the necessary evidence. On the other hand, It is asserted that the automo bile being driven by Thompson was not only within the legal speed limit, but that it did not run over any per son. A child ran behind the automo bile in an attempt to catch a car on Washington street, and fell in the street in a way that caused Lillis to think that he had been run over. Lu lls gave chase in a taxlcab, and after overtaking Thompson, returned him to the police station, where the charge was dismisssed.
