Managing Committee Advises
Against Selection of Candi

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.

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.

SELLWOOD STIRRED
BY WATER FAMINE
Residents of Suburb Hold In
dignation Meeting and Dis
cuss Remedies.
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.
LADIES' BAND MAKES HIT
Concert at the Oaks Is Well Re
ceived by-:La.rge Audience.'
Few better bands than the Navassar
Ladies' Band, which gave a concert t
the Oaks last night have ever appeared
in Portland. These young women in
their tasteful uniforms were indeed at
tractive. The programmes given yester
day afternoon and last night by the Na
vassar girls contained plenty of bright,
catchy tunes to spice up the customary
operatic selections. The solo contribu
tions, instrumental and vocal, called out
vociferous applause from the full house
that greeted the band last night.
The young women arrived Sunday night
direct from Chicago and will remain in
Portland for a limited season before go
ing to San Francisco. The band recent
ly played an extensive season at the
Hippodrome in New York.
From Sousa's "Stars and Stripes For
Ever," to a spectacular rendition of the
anvil chorus from "Trovatore," the band
acquitted itself In a masterful manner.
Miss Gilda Mae Coy sang an Ardiol waltz
song and responded to an encore with the
old-time favorite "Annie Laurie." She
has a beautiful soprano voice, admirably
trained.
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. He had been at work but a
few days and came here recently from
Boise, Idaho. He is elderly. A search
was made yesterday for the " assailant,
but he was not located. He is known to
the hotel proprietor and will probably be
arrested if he has "not left town.

Profits From Loganberries.
Salem- Statesman.
One of the leading fruit-growers
north of Salem Ac M. LaFollette con
tracted his loganberries this season to
a Portland firm for 90 cents a crate
f.o.b., which meant 60 cents net to
him. His crop yielded at the rate of
about 600 crates to the acre. 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

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

NEW YORK, July 12. A handsome
young- Russian woman, who says she
married a member of the wealthy Proc
tor family of Cincinnati, in London, last
Fall, appeared at New York police
headquarters tonight and asked that
an officer be sent with her to Cincin
nati, where she proposes groing- tomor
row to find her husband. She was told
that "the New York police had no au
thority outside of the city limits.
The woman says her husband came to
America four months after their mar
riage and that she subsequently fol
lowed him to the United States. He is
much older than she and, according to
the woman's story, is being kept from
her by relatives.
A civil suit involving stock that her
husband is alleged to have given her
is now pending in the Cipcinnati courts.
CINCINNATI. July 12. That rela
tives In this city do not seek the Rus
sian Baroness von Klelguss, alleged
wife of Percy Procter and that "they
have no interest whatever in her," was
the statement made tonight by William
C. Procter, brother of Percy Procter,
and head of the wealthy Procter family,
view here some weeks ago. when she
arrived from Europe and, through coun
sel, entered an intervening petition in
a civil suit in which stocks held by
Percy Proctor figured. She set up the
claim that she married Mr. Proctor in
Europe some years ago and that the
determination of the suit involving the
stocks would affect her dowry.
The case is still pending. Percy
Proctor Is about 64 years old and has
lived abroad for some time. '
Representatives of the Proctor fam
ily say they have no personal knowl
edge "as to whether the Baroness was
married to Percy Proctor."
William C. Proctor would only say
tonight:
"The statement that any member of

send this woman to an asylum or else
where' Is wholly without foundation.
We have no interest in her whatever."
