SEARCH FOR AUTO VICTIMS CEASES Two Press Claims for Machine Taken From Waters of uregon biougn. DIVER HOLDS POSSESSION Bodies Are Expected to Rise to Sur face Soon by Natural Action of River Theory That Day and Woman Live Held Absurd. Yesterday" was the ninth day since the touring car containing Frisco Day and Mabel Monto crashed from the trestle on the "Vancouver road into Oregon Slough, but the surging waters have so far failed to give up their prey. Search for the bodies has practically ceased, as 3t is believed that they will come to the surface fcefore very long. That there was no grdund for the sen sational rumors that Frisco Day and Mabel Monto eloped, sending the big automobile to destruction to throw pur suers oft the track, has been established beyond the shadow of doubt. Accord- I ... -.11 .Apiwmn.. that Via. frTrA t J 1 1 m inuiuuuj i.uui. ......... - light, both Day and the woman were In toxicated on the fatal Friday night, and their wild ride led them to death. '. Many Claimants for Car. 1 Just who has first claim on the wrecked automobile, which was raised from its bed 65 feet below the surface of Oregon Blough on the Sunday following the acci dent, seems to be the mooted question at the present time. There are three claimants of the machine, one of them being the actual owner. Mrs. II. M. Geren is the owner of the car. According to information which came out during the investigation of the ' accident, Mrs. Geren had left the car with the Hollenbeck Motor Car Company, from whose garage it was to be placed in the rent service until it had earned enough "money to clear a debt amounting to about ISO against It. Frisco Day was the driver, and had charge of the machine on the ,' night In question. Auto Is Attached. Following the raising of the car, Man iaeer Hcllenbeck had the death auto at tached by Constable Wagner to satisfy the charges against it. The machine was taken in charge by the Constable, but, it appearing that there was no danger , at the car being maaen, or spirited away, It was allowed to - remain on the scow upon which it was placed when first lifted from the water. The scow, as it developed, belonged to Fred De Rock, the submarine diver, through whose efforts it was secured from the bottom of the slough. De Rock was engaged by the county to dive in an ef fort to locate the bodies of the victims. When he had made two descents, climb ing in and all around the machine where it rested in the murky depths of the slough, - and could find no trace of the unfortunate occupants, De Rock says his work for the county was finished. Another Dive Made. Another perilous descent wa made by the submarine diver, however, this time for the purpose of fastening a cable on the machine, so that it could be hoisted to the surface. De Rock performed this service successfully, and he maintains that the owner of the car, Mrs. Geren, is indebted to him for the work. As yet, however, he apparently has been unable to reach a satisfactory settlement with Mrs. Geren. and;" as a consequence, he is keeping possession of the auto. With Ed Hollenbeck after the machine for garage charges and Diver De Rock holding onto it for submarine services for which he has not been recompensed, Mrs. Geren is beginning to feel that it is more of a burden than it Is worth. As far as that is concerned, however, it is said that the automobile is still in such condition that it can be put into com mission after repairs to the amount of over $500 have been made. The engine, tires and considerable of the important parts of the machine are intact. and only need cleaning and fixing up to put them into .condition. In the meantime "Fritz" De Rock is going ahead on the theory that "posses sion is nine points of the law" and, not withstanding the attachment proceedings, is keeping the death auto on ,his scow. HORSE BEATER ARRESTED Hfll Clausen Uses Brutal Method . When His Steed Balks. The brutal' method employed by Hill Clausen, aged 30, a plasterer living at 1061 Concord street, to "break" his horse from balking, landed him in the police station yesterday on a charge of cruelty to animals. Clausen tied the horse to a tree and lashed it with ar whip until both sides of the animal were covered with great, swollen welts. " Neighbors who saw Clausen "break ing" his horse telephoned to the police station for an officer to compel him to stop. Patrolman Barstow Investigated the case and compelled Clausen to desist. The officer telephoned the facts to Ser geant Crate, and the sergeant also went out on an investigation and took Clausen to the police station with him. Clausen said that a horse trainer told him the method he adopted was the only way to cure his horse of balking. White BInffs Has Early Peaches. WHITE BLUFFS, Wash., June 19. (Special.) - White Bluffs asserts the honor of breaking all Northwest rec ords for early peach production. Re cently Bonn Bros, picked several ripe peaches in their orchard near town, and they are of fair size and excellent flavor. They were grown on two-year-old trees- SCHOOL ELECTION TO BE HELD TODAY Contest Between I. N. Fleisch- ner and William H. Daly Will Be Decided. POLLS WILL OPEN AT 2 P. M. Until 6 o'clock. Voters of Rnth Sexes, Who Are Taxpayers, May Mark Ballots Both Sides Is- , sue Appeals to Supporters.. At 2 o'clock this afternoon election booths will be opened at 23 polling places In the city Included in School District No. 1, and one of the most vigorously-waged school election cam paigns Portland has known will come to a climax. The polls will be open until 6 o'clock P. M. and It is expected a heavy vote will be cast. . The names of three candidates are on the ballot for the place on the Board of Education now occupied by I. N. Fleischner, including Mr. Fleischner himself, who is a candidate for" re election. Mrs. Maria L. T. Hidden and William H. Daly are the other candi dates. During the last ten days, when the campaign has been warmest, the con test has practically narrowed down be tween Fleischner and Daly. Mr. Fleischner Is seeking the support of the business men and property-owners of the city, while Mr. Daly is running; on a strictly union labor platform. Fleischner Forces Confident. At the. campaign headquarters of each last night confidence was ex pressed in a favorable return when the ballots are counted. "We expect that between 6000 and 6000 -ballots will be cast," said Henry Reed, secretary of the Fleischner Cam paign Association. "If there are that many, Mr. Fleischner will be elected, hands down. If the vote is not repre sentative, he may have a close race." "We are counting on winning," was the simple statement of H. J. Parkin son, editor of the Labor Press and a Daly worker. Statements to the voters were Issued by the campaign associations of each of the two leading candidates last night. That for Mr. Fleischner was signed by Colonel David M. Dunne, president of the association, and Henry Reed, secretary. It follows: Every taxpayer should vote at today's -election for ! K. Flelochner for school direc tor. Mr. Fleischner stands for the decent and orderly management of the schools upon business principles. His re-election will de feat the attempt, now being-, made for the first time in the history of Portland, to create an entering- wedge In the school sys tem for professional paid agitators, reckless ness, turmoil and appeal to class prejudice. If Mr. Fleischner Is to be elected, the voters must come out and vote for htm. Stay-at-home voters will not do anv cood. Go to the polls early and stay there until you cast your vote f ors Mr. Fleischner. Do not lose your place at the -oolls because of any obstructive tactics the opposition may attempt, mere win oe ponce at the polls to preserve order. Polls open at 2 o'clock and close at 6. Tou may vote at any polling place. You do not have to be registered for the school election. Daly Supporters Talk. The Daly committee, which has head quarters in the Labor Temple, Issued the following: - Our aim In this campaign has beeq to bring to the attention of the taxpayers the need of placing on the school board men or women who will adopt needed changes In the system of conducting school affairs. For one thing, we believe there should be In augurated a system of accounting that would make it impossible for employes of the board to present unjust bllla and through sharp and dishonest practices bring discredit upon the directors themselves. In the past, there has been an absolute lack of an accounting system such as Is de manded by the successful business man of today. We have appealed to the voters of the district to elect Mr. Daly upon the grounds and with the belief that new blood and new ideas on the school board will be of material benefit to the district, particularly from an educational standpoint. The members of the present school board represent very largely the business element of the community. We do not believe It possible for them to have any other than a theoretical Idea, of the needs of the wage earning teacher and mechanic. ' The latter have their problems and they can best be met by those from their own ranks. If the voters at this time believe it wise to have all elements represented on the school board, we believe it will redound to the benefit of this school district.

The Nova Scotia Legislature has refused to pass a bill compelling the recognition of labor unions Counties Would Be Permitted to In cur Debt to Build Highways of Permanent Character. The Oregon Good Roads Association has launched a movement to give counties of the state an opportunity to assume a bonded indebtedness for the construction of good roads, and an Initiative petition is now being circulated throughout the state to bring the question before the vot ters in November. Judge Webster, who has "stumped" the greater part of the state in the Interest of good roads, is an earnest advocate of an amendment to the present law which will give the counties the right to issue bonds. - "If this amendment is passed, it does not mean that every county positively must bond itself." said Judge Webster last night. "It simply means that the counties have the right of bonding them selves if they so desire, and I, believe that the majority of counties would be glad of the opportunity. Are the counties afraid to trust themselves with this privl lege now? If not, why should they nold back from the proposed amendment? "There is no reason why future genera tions should not share the burden of building good roads, for they also will reap the benefits. With money secured by issuing bonds, the counties could build roads of a permanent character, which 231 WASHINGTON STL PORTLAND ORCGON- tAKEH OF HENS MTHIS would last many years. It is not the idea of plunging a county Into debt, but the idea of securing substantial highways and allowing those who come after us to as sist in the payment of them, which we are driving at." The following is the constitutional pro vision as it will read when amended ac cording to the initiative petition present ed by the Oregon Good Roads Associa tion: Section 10, Article XI. No county shall create any debts or liabilities which shall, singly or In the aggregate, exceed the sum of $5000, except to suppress Insurrection or repel Invasion, or to build permanent roads within the county, but debts for permanent roads shall be Incurred only on approval of a majority of those voting on the question. In this regard, the following copy of a resolution passed by the Oregon State Grange at its session at Oregon City on May 17 last. Is pertinent: Whereas, The most Important question of Interest to farmers under consideration to day is the building of permanent public high ways in order to lessen the cost of transpor tation of farm produce to the nearest mar ket: therefore, be It ' Resolved. That we heartily Indorse any proposal to remove any constitutional re strictions on the people's power to obtain and pay for good roads. Freight Overcharge Asserted. SALEM, Or., June 19.
