PORTLAND IS OUT
FOB G.A.H.IN 1912
Sumner Post No. 12 Starts
Movement With Prom
ises of' Success.
STRONG PLEAS AT MEETING
Tjarge Delegation at Coming En
campment at Atlantic City Will
Propose This City as Place of
Conference Two Years Hence.
That the National encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic may bo
held In Portland In 1912 is more than
a probability. At the meetlne of the
Sumner Post No. 12, In its hall on East
Pine street- and Grand avenue. Satur
day night, the movement to bring this
Rreat convention to Portland in that
year was set In motion with an en
thusiasm that promises success. At
least a great effort will be made to
bring the encampment to Portland by
the delegation which will attend the
National encampment, which will be
held at Atlantic City, September 19.
A. C. Edmunds, a well-known mem-
l?r of Sumner Post, who has been com
missioned National color-bearer for the
National Encampment from the Oregon
department, brought up the question of
bringing the National Encampment to
Portland in 1912 and made a strong
plea for the advocacy of the movement
on the part of Sumner Poai. Immedi
ately there was enthusiastic response
from the large attendance. It was tho
almost unanimous sentiment that Sum
ner Post should launch the movement.
Strong Plea Voiced.
M. L. Pratt, past commander of the
department of Oregon, made a stronff
plea for. the launching of the movement.
He spoke of the high place that Sumner-
post occupied In the department of
Oregon, and declared that, with the aid
of George Wright, xLincoln-Garfiell,
Ben Butler and other Portland Posts
the movement could be set in motion.
He predicted that the entire state would
back the movement and also expressed
the belief that Washington encamp
ment, and in fact all the encampments
in the Northwest Pacific Coast would
assist, as It would mean the reunion
of the thousands of old soldiers who
have settled In the West.
"It would be," he said, "the oppor
tunity of their lives' to meet their com
rades from other portions of the Union,
perhaps for the last time, and it would
bring many thousands to Portland from
all portions of the Union, as very low
railroad rates could undoubtedly be
secured over all the lines centering in
portiana.
Mr. Pratt also said that the commer
cial bodies- and business men of Port
land could be depended on to give sub
stantial aid to the movement.
W. E. Markee delivered an address
in advocacy of the movement, and
others spoke in favor of the project.
There will be a large delegation go
from Oregon and Washington to the
National Encampment at Atlantic City,
which will go there probably Instructed
to Invite the encampment to come to
Portland In 1912. Meanwhile the matter
will be talked up among the G. A. K.
posts of the state.
J. W. Ogelibee, adjutant of Sumner
Post, said yesterday:
Much Enthusiasm Aroused.
"The boys were right In for the
movement and were full of enthusiasm.
Mr. Pratt made a magnificent talk for
it. Of course, it will take some money,
but 1913 is two years off and Portland
will grow between now and then and
will be well able to finance the move
ment then.
"To get the National Encampment in
Portland for that year would be a big
thing for Portland. In some of the
Eastern cities as high as 500.000 old
soldiers have attended the encamp
ments, xne number who would come
to Portland would run up Into the
thousands. It is a good thing to start
the movement now, and I hope and ex
pect to see all the posts of the depart
ment rally to our support."
DEPOT CHANGE WANTED
JIcrini.Kton Men Protest on Fixing
Vp Present Building.
To consult J. P. O'Brien, general man-
leper of the O. R. & N., in regard to
(Changing the site of the depot at Her-
Snuiton, 24 business men of the Irrigation
own arrived in Portland yesterday. The
railroad company hiul planned to re
model the depot at Hermiston, but the
present location is not favored by the
merchants of -that place because it is too
far from the business center.
Mr. O'Brien told the visitors that noth
ing definite would be done in rebuilding
the depot until further Investigation was
tna.de by a representative of the railroad
company.
Among those who composed the party
from Hermiston were: Mayor H. R.
Newport, Councilman W. S. Phillips W.

"Eastern Oregon and the Irrigated dis-
Itrtct of Umatilla County particularly is
enjoying a healthy and steady growth,"
I said K. K. Reeves, editor of the Hermis
ton Herald. "During the last few months
I many homeseekers have arrived In the
Hermiston country and nearly all who
I have Invested in tracts there are well
pleased with their new homes."

QUAINT ANIMAL DELIGHTS

"PICKXES," YORKTOWN MASCOT, 18 ANTEATGR.
About the queerest Inhabitant of the U. S. S. Torktown Is Pickles,
the friend of every man on board, the mascot of the Bhip and general
sanitary expert.
Pickles chases the ship for ants, which he sucks up with his pre
hensile snout and eats with gusto. Ants, bugs and beetles alike fall
prey to Pickles' voracious appetite. As a delicacy Pickles enjoys flies
and tobacco on the side. He was taken aboard at Acapulco, being cap
tured by the Chinese cook. From that moment the little animal became
the pal of every enlisted man on board. .
"One of Pickles' most extraordinary abilities lies in the fact that
he can open the door of a chest in which tobacco is kept if it has not
been locked." said one of the officers. "It would not do to blame any
one else, yet the enormous number of cigars Pickles manages to get
away with would pass belief."
He is an affectionate little animal. He cuddles, up in the most lov
ing way and will hang round with his friends the whole time. Those
whom Pickles does not like he bites, but woe betide anyone who at
tempts to retaliate. He would be in the bad books of the entire
ship's company.
Pickles looks like an enormous squirrel, save for his shout. He
has a tall that is three feet long.
HL HONORS DUE
Acting Governor to Pay Visit
to Gunboat Yorktown.
STATE MILITIA FAVORED
Bowerman Approves of Plan; to Or
ganize Reserve and Tentative
Body Will Be Made Official.
Salute to Be Given.
With the view of organizing In Port
land a naval militia. Acting Governor
Bowerman will pay an official visit to the
gunboat Torktown today, where he will
be received with a salute of 17 guns and
all other formalities due to his official
station. The Yorktown was scheduled to
sail this morning, but when informed
yesterday of the plan of the Governor to
pay his vessel a visit. Captain Blue
changed his sailing date to tomorrow
morning.
Back of theMocal effort to organize
the naval reserve Is the United States
Government, which is working through
its representative, John McNulty, the lo
cal nautical expert in charge of the
hydrographic office. Thus it was not by
mere chance that the cruiser Marblehead
and the gunboat Torktown were ordered
to this port at this time.
Aiding Mr. McNulty in organizing the
militia is George S. Shepherd, with
whom the Governor has conferred on the
matter of his visit to the warship today.
The Governor expressed his approval of
the plan to organize the reserve, and it
Is expected that as soon as he can con
fer with the members of the state mili
tary board, he will be ready to issue the
offlclnl papers which will make the
tentative organization that has been
formed, an official concern, in accord
ance with the laws of Oregon.
Appropriation Is Necessary.
While the state law provides for the
organization of a naval reserve at any
time, it can receive no pay from the
state until the Legislature passes an ap
propriation to support it. That the pro
posed militia will obtain from the state
the necessary funds for its existence.
In case the Acting Governor carries out
his plan of making It a legal organization,
has been practically assured by the local
legislators who have visited the warships
while here.
"In case the state creates the naval re
serve," said-Mr. McNulty yeserday. "the
Government is prepared to do everything !
in its power to assist the organization." :
Many inducements will be placed be- !
fore the ambitious young men whp are
eligible to join the organization. The 1
Government will furnish a regular war
vessel for their use, which will take
them on a cruise at least once a year.
Thus it is believed that it will prove a
much greater drawing card for recruits
than does the land militia, which, how- '
ever. Is sent into encampments at the
expense of the Government.
Militia Open to Many.
It was explained by Mr. McNulty yes
terday that the naval reserve is open
to men of a variety of professions, rang
ing "from a cook to an attorney."
Next to a lack of funds the greatest
obstacle at present to the proposed or
ganization is the lack of a place for
drill. An effort Is to be made to secure
for the reserve the use of the National
Guard Armory, but it Is understood that
at present the drlllrooms are used by
the infantry almost every night In the
week, with the exception of Saturday
night, which is considered an undesir
able time for drill.
However, it Is within the rights of the
Adjutant-General, W. E. Finzer, to ar
range for the use of the Armory for the
reserve In caso conditions permit him to
do so.
The naval honors that will be paid to
day to Acting Governor Bowerman. will
be second only to those that would be
tendered the President of the United
States. Should Admiral Dewey visit the
Torktown. he would receive no more for
mal attention than will the Governor.
The formal ceremonies will begin as soon
as the Governor sets his foot on deck.
The sailors will be In dress uniforms,
and will be drawn up In company front
on the deck to receive the executive of
ficer of the state. It is expected that
many people will line the shore to wit
ness the ceremonies.
Concernlne the hour the Governor will '
IN RED ANTS AND TOBACCO
visit the Torktown today there seemed to
be some uncertainty yesterday. Mr.
Shepherd, however, late in the afternoon
announced that the Governor would go
aboard the Yorktown promptly at 3
o'clock this afternoon, unless circum
stances should cause a change to he made
in the programme. With the Governor,
It is announced, will be other state of
ficials. GIRL ACCUSES MOTHER
w
Said to Be Insane, Miss Gandolfo
Asks Investigation.
Claiming that she is not insane and
that her mother and the nurse in charge
of her will nob give her the kind of
treatment she needs. Miss P. E. Gan

himself in her case, and the officer re
ported the facts to police headquarters
yesterday.
The girl said she had been treated for
insanity here and in California, but that
she was not Insane. She asked the offi

HIBERNIANS SEEK
UNION OF ORDERS
Four Great Questions to Dom
inate Convention in Port
land This Week;
LAND OWNERSHIP URGED
Irish, to Be Persuaded to Go "Back
to the Soil" Whenever Possible.
Compulsory Insurance to
Be Topic for Debate.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians,
which goes into convention tomorrow
morning, will take up at least four great
Questions. Foremost in the Irish roln-d
Is the freedom of Ireland from English
rule. To bring this about an effort will
be made at the convention to unify the
four great Irish societies, the United
Irish League, the Seinn Feinn, the Gaelic
League and the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians. A movement also is on foot
among the Hibernians to educate the
Irish of America to get "back to the
land." A strong effort will also be made
to organize a National Hibernian Insur
ance society and to provide in the by
laws . that every member of the order
shall take Insurance.
An unofficial meeting will he held at
8 o'clock tonight in Woodmen Hall,
where the delegates will have an oppor
tunity to become acquainted with tha
National officers and the Portland Hi
bernians and among themselves. Ths
ladies' auxiliary will hold a meeting In
the same building at the same time.
Delegates Are Arriving.
The delegates have taken Portland by
storm. - Everywhere Is seen the little
green badge and emblem of the order.
The Philadelphia delegation of 200 ar
rived last night on a belated train. A
part of the delegation from California also
came in yesterday on the steamer Bear
and the others will come. In today by
train. A telegram to Secretary E. H.
Deery announces that the Massachu
setts delegation will arrive from Seattle
on a special train this morning.
All the National officers are here ex
cept Rev. John D. Kennedy, one of the
five National directors, who is ill at Se
attle. James J. Began, National vice
president, and Miss Anna C. Malie. Na
tional president of the women's auxiliary,
were two of the officers who arrived yes
terday. Regarding the work mapped out for
the 47th convention, Mr. Regan said yes
terday: "We expect to bring about a union of
the four great Irish orders. The Selnn
Felnn and the United Irish League both
work for the freedom of Ireland, but the
Selnn Feinn believes that members of
the Parliament in Ireland, after being
elected, should ' remain at home, taking
no active part In the government, in this
way compelling the British to give Ire
land home rule. On the other hand, the
United Irish League believes home rule
can better be secured on the floor of
Parliament.
Individuality Not Lost.
"We hope also to affiliate with the
Gaelic League, an organization for the
promotion of the Irish language, which
25 years ago was spoken only in a small
section on the extreme western side of
the Island. The National Irish Univer
sity of Dublin makes a knowledge of the
Irish tongue necessary to matriculation.
Although the four societies will be leagued
together, they will still work along their
individual lines as they do now.
"I think an effort will be made at the
convention to Induce the placing of a
thorough course in Irish history in the
parochial schools, and to induce home
study along this line. It has already been
introduced by Professor M. G. Rohan at
Marquette University, Milwaukee. I be
lieve the American press should also give
space In the Sunday editions to Irish his
tory and to current events of that coun
try. "A resolution also probably will be In
troduced to encourage the Irish of Amer
ica to leave the cities and devote more
attention to tilling the soil. Bishop Mc
Goldrlck, of Duluth, Is doing a good work
along this line. Twenty-five years from
now the wealthy people of this country
will be the land owners, as they are in
England and Ireland. An instance of the
wealth of the farmers is seen in the fact
that at a recent gathering of farmers in
a South Dakota town there were 500
farmers and 250 automobiles. Machines
are being sold to Iowa farmers at the
rate of 3000 a month.
"Illinois has a special delegate here to
father the organization of a National In
surance society. He is John E. Long, of
Chicago."
John Qulnn, the National treasurer,
thinks each member should be compelled
to take Insurance.

BRIDGE PROBLEM LOOMS
South East Side, Interested, Will
Hold Meeting Thursday.
A large delegation from the South
East Side will attend the regular meet
ing of the South Portland Boosters next
Thursday night to discuss the question
of erecting a bridge across the Wil
lamette River in that part of the city.
It is contended that when another
bridge is built the landing on the east
side of the Willamette should be on
Ellsworth or Taggart street, the former
location being preferred. The West Side
has been contending for East Sherman
or Division street, but as these streets

are on low ground and run through the

Company, strong objections to them
have sprung up on the East Side, which
will be presented at the meeting next
Thursday night.
It is held by East Side residents that
a high location should he selected for
the East Side landing entirely above all
streetcar tracks, end that either Ells
worth or Taggart street would furnish
such a landing. It will he the first joint
meeting of people on both sides of the
river on this new bridge project.
HARMON'S CHANCE GOOD
OHIOAX IilKJEIST TO BE NOMI
NATED FOR PRESIDENT.
Veteran Serjeant-at-Arms Thinks
Democrats Are in Way to
Elect Their Candidate.
"In my opinion Judson Harmon will be
re-elected Governor of Ohio, and in that
event he surely will be the next Demo
cratic candidate for President of the
United States," said Colonel R. J. Bright,
of Washington, D. C, a veteran sergeant-at-arms
of the United States Berate, at
the Imperial Hotel last night. A ser-geant-at-arms
of the Unltec; States Sen
ate usually Is considered an authority on
politics as he is In a' position to feel the
pulse of the country and forecast the
direction of the wind. Colonel Bright is
a Democrat and served in the Senate
from 1879 until President Cleveland's first
term expired and was selected for that
important position again during the Dem
ocratic Administration from 1893 till 1897.
"Republicans as well as Democrats say
Harmon will be re-elected," he said, "and
there is no doubt in my mind that he
will be the Democratic candidate for
President. He Is an able man and would
be a harmonious candidate. The future
looks brighter for the party than it has
for a long time."
Colonel Bright always says "In my
opinion" when giving a forecast and he
speaks in a slow, calculating way.
"In my opinion," continued Colonel
Bright, "the split In the Republican party
In Kew York is more hopeless than that
In Indiana. Tim Woodruff and Repre
sentative Wadsworth have given Colonel
Roosevelt to understand that the regu
lars are unalterably opposed to the
Hughes policies. If Mayor Gay nor. of
New York, is nominated for Governor by
the Democrats, I believe he will be
- ' ' - r. ... . - -Lviiv -'J
and he can carry the 'up-state vote.'
Should he become Governor,, you havo
more Democratic timber for the Presi
dential nomination.
"In my opinion, Senator Beveridge will
not be returned to the Senate from In
diana. The Democrats carried Indiana
the last time when conditions were less
favorable. The State Senate of Indiana
will be Democratic because of the large
number of hold-over Senators who are
Democrats. The fight is over control of
the House. Republicans are not on the
right side of several Issues in the state.
Their Governor called a special session
of the Legislature and rushed through
a local option bill, establishing the coun
ty unit plan, fearing to trust legislation
to the incoming Democrats, who, with
the people, favored the township plan
of local option.
"Senator Beveridge is not popular with
the regulars because of his radical views
and he injured himself by holding up
Federal patronage that belonged to Fair
banks and Hemenway, when they were
In the Senate. The way the party is
divided, there Is a question in my mind
if Colonel Roosevelt will not dp Bever
idge more harm than good by speaking
in Indiana.
"In my opinion. Colonel Roosevelt will
have all he can do to keep the boat
from rocking till he gets ashore himself,
let alone saving New York and Indiana."
FAULTY CLAIMS PUT IN

Officers Bnsy Preparing: 'or Big
Convention of Choppers to Be
Held v Next Week.
Officers and directors of the head
camp of the Woodmen of the World will
be busily engaged all week In checking
over reports and preparing amendments
for submission to the tenth triennial
encampment of the Pacific jurisdiction
of the order, the first sessions of which
will begin next Monday morning.
One of the prominent Woodmen now
in the city is Judge B. M. Carr, of Den
ver, CoL, who is the general attorney
for the order. Mr. Carr has acted as
legal adviser for a number of years.
Among the matters brought to his at
tention is the filing of fictitious death
claims.
"All kinds of schemes are resorted to by
persons claiming to be beneficiaries. In
endeavoring to establish their claims,"
said Mr. Carr last evening. "Mysterious
disappearances, dths in mines, bliz
zards and drownings are generally given
as the causes. Within the last term six
false claims have been filed. We are
getting better fortified In this matter,
however, all the time.
"Whenever we are in doubt as to a
claim, we put forth our best efforts to
secure the facts of the case and if neces
sary employ detectives. To put a quick
end to these cases, we require ths al
leged beneficiaries to establish their
claims in court and unless the bereaved
widow is a clever actress and the jury
is not moved too strongly by sympathy,
we are successful in cutting off the un
merited gifts."
T. P. Revelle. prominent among the
Woodmen of the World, arrived In the
city yesterday. Mr. Revelle is chairman
