of the pamphlets have been completed
by the printer, and two Republican
pamphlets and the Iemnrratt- pamph
let have been received by the Secre
tary, while the halanc of them are In
the bindery. It is probaMo, tiiat it will
require four days more to finish the
Multnomah County pamphlet.
The law required that the pamphlets
be delivered yesterday, hut failure to
have them at the Secretary's offic Is
biamed more generally to the law than
it is to the State Trlnter. There Is
such a great volume of work in con
nection with this first election tinder
the corrupt practices art and the time
between the dates when the printer re
ceived the copy and when he must de-
liver the completed work as required

a physical Impossibility. It Is argued,
to turn out such an enormoua grist of
pamphlets.

NEW FISH LAIV PROPOSED
ABRAHAM WOULD RESTRICT
WORK ON UPPER RIVERS.
Only Allow Salmon to Be Caught
ft-r Canning Below Tidewater,
Domestic I'm? Above.
ASTORIA, Or.. Sept. 11. t Special.)
"I propose to use my best endeavors
to stop fishing above tidewater for any
other purpose than for domestic con
sumption." declared Senator Albert
Abraham, candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor, at a largely
atteniled meeting of fishermen held In
Labor Hall last night.
Mr. Abraham declared tidewater
to be the only logical place at. which
salmon should be caught. He Instanced
the game laws and asserted that Inas
much as the -.ale of game outside of
Oregon Is prevented, similar action
might be taken with regard to the
salmon..
While he did not advocate any meas
ure as radical as that. Mr. Abraham
suggested what he called a progressive
half-way measure. By hia plan nsning
for canning would be permitted only
at tidewater.' Upper river fishwheels
and seiners would be prevented from
selling fish to the canneries for export.
but would be, permitted to supply the
Oregon market.
"By this means, said Mr. Abraham,
"flsh would enter into competi
tion with meat. When the farmer
realises that hia advocacy of such a
measure would mean cheaper food for
himself and family his support would
not be wanting. I believe in the man
way of catching fish Instead of the
machine way.

ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 11. (Special.)
The Fall fishing season on the Columbia
River opened at noon Saturday and more
than the average amount of gear will
nrobablv be in the water, owing to the
comparatively high prices being paid for
the raw fish.
The Sunday closing law does not apply
to the Kali season, so there need be no

the Postmaster Is signed by V. D. Hilles,
assistant secretary, and Is eatd- to have
been the result of the direct recom

Senator Bourne was last night absent
from the cltv. or was so reported at the
Portland Hotel, and his reason for recom
mending such a radical departure from
the Treasury practice of recent years
was not obtainable.

In this capacity." said Senator chamber

In the letter advising the postmaster of
the action of the Treasury Department,

That th action of the Treasury De
partment in the Portland case is a radi
cal departure from precedent Is evidenced
by the locations selected In other cities
in recent years. In S4 Louis. Detroit,
Chicago and many other cities where the
postal business Is growing, experts of the
Treasury Department have been sent to
make a selection which would expedite
mall delivery. Invariably the new post
offices have been stationed in the vicinity
of the railway terminals, and the up-town
stations have been located to accommo
date the mailing of letters and to handle
the money order ajid registry business.
Such locationo have been selected with
out resard to the wishes of citizens of
the various cities. It has been solely a
buslncse matter.

BANK EXAMINERS ARE LAX
Controller Says Effective Reports
Would Prevent Failures.
WASHINGTON. Sept.4 11. Controller
of the Currency Murray, In a statement
Issued- today, asserted that every recent
National bank failure could have been
averted If bank examiners had reported
actual conditions. The Controller, In
his statement addressed to examiners,
said:
"In almost every case of a National
bank failure, since I have been Control
ler, the Insolvency could have been
averted, had the National bank exam
iners determined the true condition and
reported his findings In time fur m
to force a correction In the administra
tions of the bank's affairs."
Condemning the excuses made by
bank examiners, Mr. Murray said he
had been compelled to undertake a per
sonal examination of the conditions in
every district, so as to ascertain at
first hand why an examiner was unable
to discover impending; disaster In the
affairs of a hank.
After reciting that examiners of
failed banks had offered excuses that
they had been unable to learn In ad
vance of a bank's true condition, that
officers and directors of banks would
not correct conditions brought to their
attention, or any one of another dozen
reasons, Mr. Murray tays:
"The Controller Is of the opinion
that a board of directors which wilr
not or cannot meet with a representa
tive of the GovernTnent for a short
time twice each year to glover in de
tail the conditions which he finds and
reports to It, is romposed of members
who are not doing their duty in any
sense of the word."

PENINSULA SCHOOL SAFE
Inspection Shows That Building Can
Be Csed Monday.
I'neaslness about the Peninsula
school building was allayed Sattrrday
after an inspection of the building: by
a committee of citizens and Deputy
Building Inspector G. L. Thornton. The
committee considers the building safe
and children will be sent to school
Monday.
Buildlnur Inspector H. E. Plummer
has asked the School Board architect
to order the contractors to repair the
arch, which collapsed last week, and
make it safe, and also Btrergthen the
other two arches, which Deputy Inspec
tor Thornton says are not properly
constructed.
School patrons on the Peninsula were
alarmed about the building last Sum
mer, when part of the roof blew off.
When a brick arch over an entrance
collapsed last week, alarm grew into
Indignation and a mass meeting was
held to protest against the manner in
which the buildins was constructed,
and many declared they would not send
their children to school. A committee
was appointed to go over the building
with the building Inspector, and this
was done yesterday. Tho building it
self was considered safe, but the arches
over the entrance must be strengthened.
ROSTAND WILL NOT TALK
Author of C'hanlcclcr" Refuses to
Converse With His Barhcr.
PAHIS. Sept. 10. fSpeclal.) Ros
tand's barber is suffering from pique.
In spite of the oft-repeated contention
that no man Is a hero to his valet, the
poet's barber Is a thorough hero wor
shiper. The wielder of the nimble razor and
scissors has shaved Rostand daily nt
Cambo for years, but he has never
heard him speak, not even when a pim
ple has been cut off. In vain ha has
given a sly tug to the poet's luxuriant
docks and' declared that "Chantecler"
was the finest cock that ever crowed
defiance to the literary world. Ros
tand keeps Invincibly silent.
The barber's pique Is all the mora
acute because other great men who
have been to Cambo as Rostand's
guests have talked as they were
shaved. Gabriel d'Annunzio, while suf
fering many things at the hands of the
Cambo barlier. has spoken to him about
Rostand, and Coquelin has been equally
cheery aa he submitted to tho razor.
The one consolation for the provoked
tonsorlal artist lies in tho hope that
Rostand Is really utilizing his silence
as a blind for close study or his wor
shiper and will presently include him
as a character in a world-stlrrlng play.

2-Year-0ld Child and 18-Year-Old
Girl Die as Wendell.
Home Burns.
START OF FIRE A MYSTERY
Parents of Myrtle Wendell Leave
Child With I,nura Ellis, Ser
vant, and Visit Fair Cor
oner to Investigate.
Two lives were snuffed out in a fire
which entirely consumed the home of
Joseph CS Wendell, at Eighty-second
street and Powell Valley road, shortly
after 7 o'clock Saturday evening.
The dead are: Myrtle Wendell, aged
2 years, and Laura Ellis, aged 18 years.
The Coroner's office will make a
thorough investigation of the tragedy.
Exact circumstances surrounding the
origin of the fire are a mystery.
Stove May Have Exploded.
It Is believed, however, that the blaze
was caused by the explosion of a gaso
line stove. Wendell and his wife were
absent from home at the. time. They
had spent the afternoon and the early
evening at the livestock fair.
Laura Kills, who is said to be the
daughter of a local expressman, waa
recently engaged by the Wendells as n
domestic. Yesterday she was placed In
care of their baby during their absence.
About the time the flames were ob
served by neighbors in the sparsely
settled neighborhood, a faint explosion
was heard in the building. When the
neighborhood was aroused and persons
arrived on the scene, prepared to com
bat the flames, the Interior of the house
was a seething furnace of fire. Al
though several attempted to brave the
heat and enter the building It was
found to be impossible until several
men had battered down a rear door.
Unconscious Forms Found.
L'pon entering, they found the un
conscious form of the Ellis girl on the
floor. She was frightfully burned frorn
head to foot. She was carried to a
neighboring house and Dr. J. H. Mc
Sloy, of Lents, was summoned. Soon
after the arrival of the physician the
Red Cross ambulance was sent to the
scene at break-neck speed. Despite
the efforts made to save the girl's life,
she died at the Good Samaritan Hos
pital at 11 o'clock last night, a few
moments after being taken to the
surgery.
Wendell and h's wife returned home
to find their home a heap of smolder
ing ruins in which the charred torso
of their baty child was concealed. The
couple were prostrated by their dis
covery. At a late hour last night the black
ened corpse of the baby was taken
from the ruins. '1 ae Coroner's office
was notified. At the request of Wen
dell, the grief-stricken father, the body
was taken In charge by the Holman
Undertaking Company to be prepared
for burial. The body of the Ellis girl
was removed from the hospital to the
morgue at midnight.
In addition to the loss of their child,
the Wendells were rendered homeless
by the complete destruction of their
property and Its contents. -ne loss
from this source aggregates $2500,
with but small insurance.
