TXTE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAT, JULY 13, 101O. ASSEMBLY IS HOT TD-WOBK BY. SUITE Managing Committee Advises Against Selection of Candi dates in Advance. WORK OF KNOCKERS FAILS Keports Tliat Precinct Meetings Were Xot Fully Attended Are Found to Be False Xoise of Detractors Xot to Be Heeded. Resolutions were adopted last night by the Republican County Central Committee urging delegates to the County Assembly not to decide in advance of the Assembly what candidates or sets of candidates they will- support. The resolutions were unanimously adopted with every mem ber of the managing committee present. A copy will be sent out to each.-of the S27 delegates. This action served to remove all doubt as to the fairness of next Saturday's assemblage of delegates when a full list of candidates for county.. offices will be publicly compiled and recommended to the electors of the county. Further than this the committee de cided that proxies will not be recognized and that all indorsements of candidates will be made openly by delegates. There will be no committee on nominations. It was urged that delegates appearing In support of any candidate or set of candidates will be out of accord with the purposes of the meeting. Charges Are Kefuted. Criticisms of the mass meetings and the charge that many delegations were slated last Saturday nigbt were reported at the meeting. After this matter had been formally investigated and found to be wholly a fabrication, it was decided to pay no further attention to the "mali cious misrepresentations of Democratic agitators." One charge was heard to the pfCect that typewritten slips of delegates were passed around at tne mass meet ings. Several members of the committee arose and indignantly denied that such, was the case. Reports from each of the wards were then called for. The First Ward was reported upon by Charles Conroy, the Second by J. P. Kennedy, the Third by C. E. Lockwood. Fourth by McKinley Mitchell, Fifth by A. J. Fanno, Sixth by Charles Feldmen, Seventh by J. M. Kertehem, Eighth by Joseph Beve rldge. Ninth bv A. B. Manley, Tenth by A. Y. Beech, St. John by Paschal Hall and Linn ton by W. F. Harris. These " ward representatives said they had -attended one or more of the pre cinct meetings in their respective wards and found everything regular. The meet ings were generally large and the pre cincts got exactly such representatives as they wanted. Farther Attention Denied. A charge that in the eighth precinct the meeting was small and that it went thTough on previously arranged lines was.-icXutexr by. .half a. dozen, of those who attended. The facts were found to be that 30 or more Republican electors attended the meeting In precinct eight and that there was regular balloting to determine who should represent the pre cinct in the County Assembly. "Since these Democratic newspaper prevarications have now been so thoroughly exploded I think no further attention should be "paid to criticism from any such source," said Chairman Ken nedy. "We can expect such conduct as that from irresponsible publications and since misrepresentations can do the Re publican Cause nopossible harm I sug gest that we ignore all future howls that the agitators may raise. It only makes them shout all the louder to favor them with our attention." ' All members of the committee coin cided with the chairman's view and the matter was dropped. With reference to the recognition of proxies at the assembly, the matter was discussed at some length. The con census of opinion was that a full delega tion would not appear if proxies were to be allowed. "And what we want is a full turnout of the delegates," said Committeeman Hill. "We don't want 500 or 600 but 827, and I think if we decide to cut off proxies the delegates will come, especially when they realize that they will lose their rep resentation if they are not on hand. This view was indorsed by the others present. There Will Be "o Slate. The resolutions passed with reference to pre?aseembly indorsements follow: "Whereas, in accordance wrth the as sembly principle, It is not within the province of delegates to the Republican County Assembly to decide in advance of the assembly for any candidate or Bet of candidates; and whereas it Is urged that all delegates enter the as sembly free, to judge of any and all candidates purely on their merits. "Therefore, it is recommended by the managing committee of the Republican County Central Committee that no dele gates or sets of delegates pledge them selves to any candidate or set of candi dates." A report was heard to the effect that M of the 114 precincts of the county have sent In their lists of delegates as se lected at the mass meetings. Several precincts met last night and reports from these are expected today. So far as known, no precincts have failed to elect and the delay is merely one of sending In the duplicate lists of delegates to Republican headquarters. Eight precincts were heard from yes terday, as follows: Precinct 31 M. C. George, II. M. Block, F. EX Bruhot, O. J. Honeyman. Precinct 60 A. B. Hayton. John 'Miller. P. T.

AUTO CRUSHES DOCTOR CAR DASHES DOWN PRECIPI TOUS FRONT-STREET HILL. While Dr. Rosenberg Visits Patient, Dr. Calkins Is Hurled Against Pole and Much Injured. Running backwards down the steep Front-street hill at lightning speed, with Dr. J. W. Calkins, of Salt Lake City, as the sole occupant, an auto mobile belonging to Dr. J. J. Rosen berg wound up the wild dash in a col lision with a telegraph pole, Monday night. The car was knocked to pieces and Dr. Calkins was pulled from beneath the debris with his right arm broken and the muscles and flesh torn from the right leg. He is apparently not injured in ternally, and will live. Dr. Calkins Is visiting Dr. Rosenberg. Yesterday evening Dr. Rosenberg took Dr. Calkins with him to call on a pa tient. After driving the car to the top of the Front-street hill, one of the steepest in the city. Dr. Rosenberg set the brakes and got out to make his professional visit. In an inexplicable manner the brakes loosened and the machine started backwards down the hill. Dr. Calkins does not know how to drive an automobile and was at a loss what to do. The heavy car gained momentum with each revolution of the wheels until it was going at exTTress train speed with in the distance of a block. It was then too late for Dr. Calkins to jump and he remained in the car. At the end of four blocks nothing could be distinguished other than a dark object in a streak of dust. Persons sitting on their porches rushed into the street, but before they were on the sidewalk a crash was heard and the terrib' dash down the hill was abruptly ended. A crowd assembled at the telegraph pole, into which the machine had veered, and Dr. Calkins was found un derneath the heap of scrap iron and splintered tonneau, struggling to free himself. The heavy, twisted mass was lifted and the doctor was pulled out. Dr. Rosenberg heard the noise, saw the automobile pass the house of his patient like a "ffash, and ran Into the street and down to the wreck. Dr. Calkins was removed to Dr. Rosen berg's home in South Portland and his injuries were attended to. It is said the Salt Lake doctor will not lose his leg, although it is terribly mangled and will keep him in bed a long time. RIFLE PRACTICE BEGINS Soldiers Do Preliminary Work on Clackamas Range.

BOARD TO BE INTERVIEWED Plan to . Relieve Situation Agreed Upo by Mayor and Councilman Rushlight Is Declared Inade quate by Meeting. Demonstrating beyond question that sentiment is thoroughly aroused, a well attended mass meeting of Sellwood citi zens was held last night to protest against the water "famine" in the dis trict and to devise ways and means of bettering conditions. The very at mosphere was blue with sentiments1 which would have caused members of the City Council and Water Board to get red around the collar. As a result of the meettlng, the com promise reached between Mayor Simon and Councilman Rushlight, who repre sents the district, yesterday morning, was decided to be most unsatisfactory. A commitee, composed of five leading resi dents, was appointed to take up the mat ter with the Water Board today and a resolution, which dealt with the situa tion without gloves, presented by Peter Hume, president of the Bank of Sell wood, was adopted. As the situation stands. It was re cited, residents of Sellwood pay more for water than any other district and get nothing for their pay. so they said, elx months out of the year. People Must Drink. "Unless we pay,- "they declare the water will be cut off," said one speaker. "We must drink, though at times we don't have enough on hand to bathe our faces and hands. No wonder the growth of socialism is so pronounced." The meeting was well attended, there being 200 present. D. M. Donaugh was chairman and J. W. Campbell secretary. As soon as the meeting was called to order, a resolution was passed, directed to the City Council, asking that an or dinance be passed regulating the use of water, in Sellwood for watering lawns. It was suggested that it be lawful to use water on either side of the main every other day. That is, that one side use it one day and the other the next. Another resolution proposed that a large main be run through the district, the cost to be assessed again property owners. The committee to take up the matter is composed of Dr. H. C. Fexott, W. H. Moorehouse, A. R. Cumpston, W. H. Golding and J.. W. Caldwell. It will start out this morning at 9:30 o'clock from Sellwood. Rushlight Xot Present. Councilman Rushlight was not present at the meetting. By his agreement wiCh Mayor Simon a reinforcing main is to be laid as far south as Milwaukie road. This main does not reach as far as Sel wood,. and according to statements last night, the water would be used by per sons living on the line, and, in conse .quence, Sellwood would not benefit by It. In the agreement the Sellwood district was to be assessed, with other districts affected, for the cost of the improvement. This,- they say, would be unfair. Woodstock people also are in the midst of a water famine. However, Wood stock is not connected with the city sys tem, but Is supplied by a private com pany. Citizens are complaining that they cannot get an adequate water sup ply. They want the city system extend ed to take in Woodstock and will join in the movement for a new system of water mains for the South East Side. PRESIDENT HOT READY VACANCIES IV SUPREME COURT TO REMAIN UNTIL FALL. Tart Has Xot Made Up His Mind Yet About Calling Extra Session of Senate In October. BEVERLY, Mass.. July 12. President Taft today announced again . that he would not give serious consideration to filling vacancies in the TJnfted States Supreme Court until the Fall. As to calling an extra session of the Senate in October, to confirm appointees to the Supreme Court and thus to facilitate the rehearing of the Standard Oil and to bacco and corporation tax cases, the President has not definitely made up. his mind. Mr. Taft will not officially announce the new Chief Justice of the tribunal until he is ready to send in his nomination to the Senate. In case Governor Hughes is elected to the Chief Justiceship, as now seems likely, it will be necessary to make a new nomination for associate Justice. The President has offered to President Arthur Hadley, of Yale, the chairmanship of the commission authorized by Congress to investigate the subject of railroad stocks and bonds and to recommend a plan for bringing the issue of those se curities under the supervision of the In terstate Commerce Commission. If Mr. Hadley accepts, the President will con sult with him regarding the other mem: bers of the commission. Mr. Hadley is considering to what ex tent service on the commission would Interfere with his work at Yale before 'announcing a decision. Attorney-General Wiekersham and Sec retary Nagel, of the Department of Com merce and Labor, will see the President tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Nagel is going to Alaska and the President is anxious that Mr. Wiekersham will go with him. The latter has been loath to take the time but probably will do as the President The President's cruise next week wilf extend as far Xorth as Lubre Bay, which is right on the Canadian border line. The trip will begin next. Monday aid will last a week or 10 days. CHARLTON MAY GO FREE Deadlock About Extradition L.ikely to Cause Liberty. WASHINGTON. D. C, July 12. (Spe cial.) Porter Charlton, who is under arrest at Hoboken, charged with the murder of his wife at Lake Como, Italy, will not be surrendered in response to a request made by the Italian govern ment for his extradition to Italy for trial. The present intention of officers of the State Department is to decline to surrender him. This means that Charleton will go free, as there is no court in this country with jurisdiction to try him. - . A deadlock exists between the State Department and the Italian Foreign Office over the question of Charlton's extradition. The Italian government has asked his surrender and. the of ficial warrant and other extradition papers are now on their way to the Department. Secretary of State Knox, it was said, is willing to surrender Charlton only on condition that the Italian govern ment agrees to surrender in future Italians who commit crimes in this country and take refuge In their native land. The Italian government is for bidden by its penal code from extra diting its own subjects to foreign coun tries. In view of this deadlock, according to present Intentions, the request from Italy for Charlton's surrender will be denied. . TEAMSTERS IN BRAWLS TWO RIOT CALLS ARE SENT TO POLICE HEADQUARTERS. Before Officers Arrive, and Their Strikebreakers Are Severely Beaten Assailants Make Escape. Two riot calls to police headquarters were necessary to suppress the fury of a gang of striking teamsters that at tacked several strikebreakers employed by the Oregon Auto Dispatch Company, at Fifteenth and Washington streets, at 12:30 o'clock 'this morning. Although William Dale. William Adams and George Dunning, three strikebreakers, were severely beaten, no arrests were made by the handful of police which was pressed into service in response to the summons for assistance. The rioting shortly after midnight was the climax to several minor clashes be tween the factions during the early eve ning, under the leadership of a striker, said to be a man named Crowley, a gang of several teamsters pounced upon their victims. In tne melee that fol lowed, Dale's left cheek was laid open and he was temporarily disabled. A riot call was turned in and the three reserves at police headquarters held for such an emergency, aided by as many more special policemen, re sponded to the summons in the patrol wagon. By the time the plice appeared upon the scene the rioters had tied and had, in the interim, renewed their bat tle upon another crew of non-unionist near Eleventh, and Couch streets. Unable to accomplish anything save directing the three injured fighters in the first riot to a physician's office nearby, the trio of policemen bled themselves stationward. As the patrol neared its destination it was flagged and dispatched to the scene of the second riot. Again the belligerent teamsters had tied, after administering severe thumpings to the strike-breakers who sought Shelter in the shadow of the Public Trades School building.. Several bloody noses and dis colored optics marked the wake of the revengeful teamsters. A number of victims recognized their assailants and say they will swear to warrants against them for their arrest today.

STRANGE ATTACK MADE Elderly Man Felled and Wicked by Unknown Stranger. An unprovoked attack was made upon C. M. Worden, an employe of the Ore gon Auto-Despatch Company, at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, as he was leaving his quarters at the Park Hotel, Eighth and Glisan streets, to go to work. Wor den declares that he never saw his as sailant before, and that the stranger ac costed him, asking if he wished to go to work. Worden' replied affirmatively, and at once" the stranger seized him by the throat and struck Kim. Worden fell to the pavement and the man then kicked him in the face and fled- Worden was employed as a helper on the trucks.

"I shot my husband because I thought he was a burglar, and I would do it aga,in under similar circumstances. t "Men who staj' out late at night should answer promptly when their wives call 'Who's there?'

No need to inquire if there is money in growing such small fruit.- He also has one of the largest and best peach orchards In the Pacific Northwest, and the current year's product from it will return him a neat financial fortune. V8. The malic ious attacks of thte Cream of Tar tar Trusts to dis credit the superior qualities of egg-phos phate baking powder should be ignored. Dr. Moreau Morris of the New York Board of Health, says; "It may be that I am a little predjndiced. but I think I express the consensus of opinion of the medical profession when 1 say that Rochelle Salts (cream of tartar) should never be used by a person except by a physician's advice. Its continued use-induces a very unhealthy con dition of the stomach and especially of the bowels, and finally produces Constipation of an aggravated type." And the U. S. Department of Agriculture bread made from a Quart of flour leavened with tains forty-five more grains of Rochelle Salts than is contained in one Sedlitx powder. Crescent Egg-Phosphate Baking Powder sells for 25c, Is absolutely pure and wholesome. It Is guaranteed and made by the Crescent Mfg. Co., Seattle, manufacturers of Maplelne, the new flavor.

A Legislature is to be chosen, except the" hold-over Senators, this coming election, but judging from the number of initiative laws a Legislature will not be' required to meet next session.
