KEDERAL CHOP KEFORT STARTS
BUYING MOVEMENT.
Hull Leaders Thought Accumulating
Large Holding In Anticipation
' of Further Advance.
NEW YORK. Oct 3 Although today's
Government report on the condition
of the cotton crop did not fully bear
out some of the extremely bullish prl
vate estimates. It was bullish enough
to start an active buying, movement
which advanced prices to a new high
record for the season.
While there was tremendous realis
ing, the market advanced to 14.13 cents
for December and 14.21 for March be
fore there was any reaction of conse
quence. Even then, offers were so well
absorbed that after selling off some
15 to 25 points, the market again
rallied and the'cloee was firm, with the
close 30 points above closing figures
of Saturday. - -
For the last two or three weeks, the
market has shown an advancing tend
ency based on a bullish view of crop
prospects and It now appears that some
of the same bull leaders who were
prominently connected with the move
ment oa last season are already ac
cumulating large holdings In anticipa
tion of further high prices. The effect
of this buying had been considerable
and before the Government's figures
were Issued today December contracts
which bad sold at 12.83 cents last
month were selling at 13.94 oents, while
March contracts, which had sold at
12.39 after the culmination of the old
crop bull campaign had advanced to
14.13 cents.
Late cables from Liverpool, reporting
that labor troubles In the cotton mills
had not yet been settled, seemed to at
tract comparatively little attention
here, although they may have prompted
some of the selling this afternoon.
The Southern spot markets, as offic
ially reported, were unchanged to
cent higher, but local buyers profess
to believe that the South will be found
ready to follow the speculative ad'
vance.

Cliairman Haalc, of Mount Tabor
Improvement Association, Criti
cises Scliool Board.
At the meeting of the Mount Tabor
Improvement Association last night in
the assembly hall of the Mount Tabor
Sanitarium, J. H. Haak. chairman, an
nounced that be had collected statistics
from many cities and school districts
showing the cost of erecting fireproof
schoolhouses. This report, said Mr.
Hank, established the fact that School
IMstrlet No. 1. embracing Portland and
-iclnltv. is paying the same for frame
and temporary . schoolhouses ss Eastern
districts are paying for fireproof build
lncs.
Mr. Haak reported that the statistics
had been placed In the hands of a joint
committee of the civic council and the
architects of Portland to tabulate, and
when prepared the result will be given
the public to show the cost of erecting
frame schoolhouses In Portland as com
pared to fireproof buildings erected In
Eastern cities.
The further object." said Chairman
Haak. "is to break down the present
plan of the Board of education In ac
cepting only the plans of one architect
and to throw open to competition the
plana for schoolhouses. There' seems
but one way to change the present
method of the Board of Education, and
that is in the development of public
sentiment. 'and this will be undertaken.'.
There was discussion of the sewers to
be laid In the Mount Tabor district, and
t was the sentiment of the association
that every property owner should con
stitute himself an Inspector to see that
the sewer joints are cemented and
property laid. It was reported that most
of the sewers are being laid with little
if any cement. R. C. Wright sent
In a report to the effect that
the outlook for the extension - of
Belmont street - to the summit of
Mount Tabor Is not encouraging. It was
the sentiment of the association that
the. contractors responsible for delaying
completion of the new Madisbn-street
bridge ought to he fined, bnt doubt was
expressed whether it could be done.

such. lie also said that lie regards it
the manifest duty of the whole com.
mtttee to support and promote the in
terests of every Republican candidate
for office, regardless of what faction
they may have belonged to prior to
the primary election. Mr. Logan's
statement follows:
Committee Will Not Dictate.
"Some comment has been made with
reference to the attitude of the Mult
nomah County Republican Central
Committee concerning platforms and
resolutions to be imposed upon state,
district and county candidate! on the
Republican , ticket. So far as I ant in
dividually and 'officially concerned, I
think it ridiculous and absurd on the.
part? of the Central Committer to at
tempt dictation to the Republican
ticket. We, as committeemen, were
designated by the same electorate
which nominated the1 various candi
dates.
"In effect and in law the Republi
can voters announced to the electors
of the state, these are our candidates
and the committees are our agents to
further the election of these candidates
at the election in November.': Being
bodBs created as agents for the furth
erance of the party solidarity and ul
timate election, it would be presumptu
ous on the part of the agents created
to build up. to attempt to break down
either in whole or In part We have
no business preferring one candidate
because he held a certain principle
before nomination, and rejecting anoth
er candidate because he opposed that
principle before nomination. Such a
preference would be committing the
very sin which we, as antl-assembly-Ites,
charged against the assembly
forces In nominating the assembly
ticket.
"It is true that every candidate
must be elected with reference to his
own fidelity to the prlnclr'ee of the
people as announced at the late pri
maries, and he will succeed or fail
as he measures up or falls short of a
faithful and sincere adherence to such
principles.
Assemblies Are Opposed.
"While the committee has no busi
ness to impose platforms or factional
tenets upon the present candidates,
the committee has a duty to perform
as dictated by the voice of the Repub
lican party at the primaries with ref
erence to the future conduct of the
party under the direct primary. The
Republican voters of this county at
least may be assured . that so far as I
am concerned, and so far as the per
sonnel of any committee which I shall
appoint would Indicate, there will be no
more assemblies or convocation by
any other name, the purpose of which
shall be to prefer one set of candi
dates over another in or before any
primary during the next two years.
My official acts shall oppose any at
tempt against the Integrity of the di
rect primary law. Statement No. 1 and
particularly a fair, open, non-preferential
contest by a prospective candi
date In the city election next year
and the county election the year fol
lowing.
A fair field and no favors.' not
only as to the present candidates but
aa to the city candidates In the city
election next year. and all candidates
at the general election two years
hence, shall be my platform."
Selection of a State Central Com
mitteeman and of a Congressional
Committeeman will bo made by
the oommlttee at a meeting tonight.

terday by Chairman Logan. The meet

Portland Hebrews Attend Special
- Religious Services Today In
y Synagogues of City.
Rosh Hashanna, the beginning of the
Jewish New Tear. Is being observed
by Hebrews throughout the world to
day. The holiday began at sunset last
evening with religious service and
prayer. The day was set aside aa a
holy . one by the early Jews and la
designated In the Bible as a "Day of
Blowing of Trumpets," because the ob
servance was signalized by the call to
worship on the trumpet, and in ren
dering the sacred music of the occa
sion. -
The day is devoted to a religious
feast and has no bearlil; on the calen
dar in common usage, although It is
understood to begin the year 5671 of
the Jewish era The service Is i
preaslve and Interesting- to those able
to follow it intelligently.' In the or
thodox ritual the service Is given in
Hebrew or Aramaic. In the reform
temples it is almost entirely observed
In English.
The music' of the service is peculiarly
adapted to the occasion, and when ren
dered by a choir it is stirring and pow
erful. The eventna: and morning serv
ices are made up of prayer, song and
sermon while the day Itself is sane
tlfied by family reunions, forgiveness
and renewal of friendships.
In Portland the day is being "rener-
ally observed by Jea-lsh citizens. -At
7 o clock last night at Ahaval Shoiom
Temple. Park and Clay streets, services
were conducted by Rev. R. Abraham

services. At Novah Zetek prayer and
song service were observed. The at
tendance at all. three Vemplea was
large, notwithstanding the bad weather.
Rabbi Wise paid a tribute to the Jew-.
Ifh race last night in -a sermon at 'lcm-
ple Beth Israel. He said that since the
Jewish race first came Into prorolence
hundasds of years ago, these people had
always figured in the world s history.
The Jewish people have always re
mained separate from other races and
that they were justified in following out
this idea is demonstrated by the fact that
they have occupied a distinct field of
civilization and have been among tne
first in art, music, literature, philosophy
and ethics. Close adherence to tula tra
dltlon, said the speaker, has been the
chief cause of the preservation and up
lift of the race.
In whatever country they were born
and lived, they have proved patriotic
They have had a high sense of citizen
ship and have always been law-abiding
and Industrious, being considered among
the most prominent in the financial la
stttutlons throughout the world.
"Every member of the race is respon
sible for the moral benefit of himself
and others, thereby contributing to the
uplift of his neighbors and fellow citi
zens," concluded KaDol wise.
The music at last night s service was
elaborate, being of a special nature for
the occasion.
A service will be held at 10 o'clock

CHICAGO MAX Bti'S 40 ACRES
OX MOCXT TABOR. -
Wllliam Unibeostock . Selects Nortxi
Half of Jonesmore After Cony
paring Portland With Coast.
' For 165,000, William Umbdenstock, of
Chicako, and J. Fred Larson, or Fort
land, have bough the 40 acres com
prised la the north half of Jonesmore,
on Mount Tabor. Aside from tne mag
nitude of the sale, which in itself is
considerable, the deal is of the utmost
Importance, because it illustrates in
cold dollar. and cents the confidence
a Chicago business man has in Port
land and its future.
Mr. Umbdenstock came to Portland
the middle of last week after a trip
that had taken him all over the Pa
cific Coast, and after a thorough ex
amination into all the principal cities
of the Coast. He had not been in Port
land a week before he closed this deal
for the Jones land. Grindstaff & Schalk
Is the firm of real estate brokers
through whom the deal was made.
Jonesmore is a long, narrow strip of
land lying north of Tabor Heights and
east of North Mount Tabor.- This land
was formerly owned by J. II. Jones, a
prominent sawmill man of Portland,
and after his death was held bythe
Jones heirs. It contains excellent
building sites and has been chosen by
many men of wealth for their resi
dences. The part bought - by Messrs.
Umbdenstock and Larson lies near the
intersection of East Seventieth street
and Villa avenue.
Mr. Umbdenstock considers this pur
chase an excellent investment, and with
Mr. Larson, will continue to sell lots
Mr. Larson Is sales manager for the
Fred A. Jacobs Company, but the pres
ent deal is said to be entirely his Own
and one in which the Jacobs Company
has no connection.
Mr. Umbdenstock will leave for Chi
cago today to wind up his business
there, for after this he says Portland
Is his home. He expects to be back
here in a few weeks.

penalty of $100 fine and SO days in the
City Jail tor persons, who refuse to
obey the .summons of inquisitors, or
who refuse to testify, save mat it
does not have the power' to Indict ac
cused persons, the powers of the graft
investigating committee win De sim
ilar to those of a grand Jury..
The resolution enlarging the scope of
the committee's inquiry -also pledged
the Council to protect city employes In
their positions, who may be caned upon
to give testimony. The purpose of the
resolution was to guarantee so far as
it was in the power of the Councilmen
to do so, that city employes would not
be "fired" because they testified before
the investigating committee. The reso
lution aaked for by the committee and
the motion to adjourn until 1:30 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon to consider the pro
posed ordinance granting- further pow
er to the committee went tnrougn wnn
out opposition-
The attitude of the council indicated
that every opportunity would be given
the committee to get to the bottom
of the charges of graft against city
officials. A bill was Introduced to pro
vide a fund for the expenses of the
committee. The amount to be placed
at the disposal of the inquisitors for
the purpose of employing detectives
and feathering evidence will oe aeciaea
upon by the finance committee, to
which the 4ill was referred. Chairman
Blaine said tonight that the committee
would ask for $2000. It is planned to
disburse the committees fund on the
order of the chairman, who will be re
quired to give an itemized statement
when its work is finished.
It is the purpose of the Inquisitors
to begin immediately upon the inves
tigation work as soon as it is empow
ered by ordinance to compel the at
tendance of witnesses.
Already the Inquisitors -have several
witnesses who win volunteer testi
mony, while others have indicated that
they will make no public statements
concerning graft. It is to secure the
attendance of unwilling witnesses that
the ordinance was proposed.

warrants charging him with receiving
and concealing stolen property. Shenker

up which tend to implicate several well
known characters along the waterfront
