AVILSOX CAOE OF DISPUTE
Kntertalnnient of New Jersey Demo
crat Not Decided.
When Woodrosr Wilson. Governor of
New Jersey and possible Democratic
candidate for President, is In Portland
May 1-1. he should he a much-entertained
guest Several days ago the
Portland Commercial Club made tenta
tive arrange-neata for receiving and
. eslertaisiSo Uu diaUcguised visitor.
Officers of the Jackson Club are try
ing to locate Governor Wilson and Im
press upon him an urgent Invitation
to accept the club's hospitality and
become its exclusive guest during his
two-day sojourn In Portland.
Some friction developed among the
members of the Commercial Club when
the plans for Governor Wilson's enter
tainment were under consideration, tt
arose from a disagreement as to
whether or not certain men prominent
ly Identified with the "Oregon system
should be permitted too prominently to
figure In the programme. This feeling
wa finally compromised when It was
derided thst the Commercial Club
should look after the welfare of Wilson
on the tlrst day of his visit In Portland
and then turn him over to othera de
sirous of paying him honor.
Thp tentative programme as ar
ranged hy the Commercial Cluh con
templates meeting Governor Wilson on
his arrival, entertaining Mm with a
sight-seeing tour of the city, a noon
day meeting at the T. M. I'. A. and a
banourt at the Commercial Club- In
tiie evening. This will complete the
activities of the Commercial Cluo in
the entertainment of the New Jersey-
visitor, who will be turned over to
other friends the following day.
Robert K. McKay, secretary of the
Jarkson Club, and other officers of
tnat organisation, take the position
that since Governor Wilson la one of
the foremost Democrnts In the coun
try. It Js only risht that an organisa
tion of. real Democrats should look
after Ms entertainment while In this
ruy. I Ills position, i liry lUKini. n iui-
ttirr strengthened In view of the fact
that the proposed entertainment of
Governor Wilson by the Commercial
Club people has developed some fric
tion. All feeling, say the Jackson
Cluh off icfals. will he entirely done away
with if the entertainment of the visitor
Is left to their organization..

for Couni-ilman-at-l.arpe.
Supplementary to the tiling of his
declarstton of candidacy and petition as
an a.splrant for a nomination for Coun-climan-at-Large
In the Republican pri
mary. J. J. Jennings, a pioneer real -
tale man of Portland. In an interview
yesterday dcclarwl himself as in favor
of retrenchment In municipal expendi
tures, "fair treatment to both the public
and corporation." and tlrst-class work
by conlralcors on- municipal improve
ments. "While I realize that a progressive
rity mu-t spend money to keep abreast
of the times and Increased population.
I also feel that wo should h all tho
more careful how we. spend the public,
funds." said Mr. Jennings. "Wo should
scrutinise every expenolture as If we
ourselves were paying the bills, and no
expense should be incurred unless it is
actually necessary.
"We alo need railroads and good ear
service. The corporations should. receive
reasonable encouragement. The, man
agers should understand that any time
they have a worthy proposition they will
not he hampered by the Council. They
should understand that all they are re
on I red to do Is to give the city a xiuare
deal.
"All laws enacted should be enforced
and no evasion should he tolerated, "ftio
taxpayers have been very patient. They
are certainly paying enough for the class
of Improvements they a getting and
the. class of seYvice. being given by their
servants." .
THOMAS KEELS, OPTIMISTIC
'
Candidate Will Be "Much Obliged if
Opponents Are Split.
Kverythlng points to the erection of
George 11. Thomas. Democratic candidate
for Mayor, according to tils emphatic
siitement. made yesterday morning.
That he will be nominated seems cer
tain, as he has no opponent.
While the spectacle of a man running
ss a inon-pure. rock-ribbed Democrat
Is one worthy of special mention in Ore
gon, most of them running as "non
partisans." there are those who suspect
that Mr. Thomas will experience a queer
sensation after the votes sre, counted
June 5-
"I feel very optlmieglc." said Mr.
Thomas yesterday. "With the Republi
cans bsdly split. I think I shall be
elected. If they will bring out an In
dependent candldnte. or even two or
thtee of them, after the -primaries. I will
feel greatly obliged to the party. Many
Republicans have assured me that. If
this or that candidate Is not nominated,
they will vote for me. and I feel greatly
encouraged."
H. W. GODDARD BACK HOME
Took Trip Into Mexico and Says
Soldiers Have Snap.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Goddard. of S8
Hoyt street, have returned from a stay
In Southern California after an absence
of more than a month. During their
stay at San Diego. Mrs. Goddard was
seized with an attack of heart trouble,
which manifested such serious symp
toms that she was removed to a sani
tarium near Los Angeles. . Here she
spent four weeks and. there being no
evidences of Improvement. Mr. Goddard
sent for his son-ln-law. Dr. Horace B.
Kenton, of this city, who succeeded in
putting Mrs. Goddard In condition to
withstand the trip home. They re
turned by the steamer Beaver from San
Pedro, the ocean trip of four days be
ing very helpful to the patient. Mrs.
Goddard. while being confined to ber
bed. is rapidly recovering.
When Mr. and Mrs. Goddard reached
San Diego, on March 10. the war scare
was at Its height; however, the next
day Mr. and Mrs. Goddard. with Mr.
and Mrs. Carmody, of Long Beach, CaU
went to Tla Juana. Mexico, which Is lo
cated just Inside the Mexican line and
wss occupied by d small detachment of
the Mexican federal troops They had
thrown up shallow rifle pits around
the custom-house and soldiers were
standing guard. They carried guns, but
did not wear uniforms.
They gave civil replies to questions,
but were not Inclined to allow the
taking of photographs of the rifle pita.
The bull ring was near by and two
soldiers who were guarding that place
not only consented to Its being photo
graphed, but were persuaded with a
small piece of coin to appear In the
picture themselves.
"The war In that part of Me i fro
seemed to be a Joke. says Mr. God
dard. "The Mexicans were enjoying
themselves, as also were the United
States troops, whlrh were camped on
the border to search vehicles for arms
and ammunition."

of the flreboat George H. Williams In
preventing a spread, were, features of
a fire at 3:15 o'clock yesterday morn
ing that partly destroyed the steamer
Shaver, of the Shaver Transportation
Company's fleet. as,sli was lying at
her berth at the foot of Davis street.
The vessel is two years old and wss
constructed at a cot of t.00. She
will be rebuilt.
The fire was discovered by the
watchman shortly afier 3 o'clock and
he a-ave the alarm, but Knowles slept
So soundly that he barely escaped and
the flames, whlrh started forwurd In
the vicinity of Jhe fire hold, spread aft
with such rapidity that he was com
pelled to crawl through the pitman hole
on the starboard side, being a close
second to Appleby. wBo took the same
way.
Woman anil Clilld Escape.
Mrs. Seeley was In her stateroom, on
the upper deck forward of the dining
room, and for the first time since she
entered J he employ of the company' she
permitted' her daughter to spend the
nlg'it aboard. They were roused In
time to climb over the rail. Mrs. Seeley
carrying her child to the deck of the
steamer No Wonder, and though they
were compelled to leave in their night
clothing, practically all their apparel
was saved, as the Are was overcome
before It reached her stateroom. The
girl had been accompanied to the boat
by her dog. and In the excitement the
animal waa forgotten, but when the Are
was out he was found In the stateroom
as lively ss ever. Mrs; Seeley's canary
was' suffocated.
Captain James Shaver, head of the
corporation, after an examination In
the-morning, said he did not think the
lire had started from an oil explosion
and doubted that oil figured In any way.
aa there was no reason why the oil
burners should be tampered with at
that time of night. When discovered
the Are was forward on the main deck.
The Shaver had reached her dock soon
sfter o'clock Wednesday night, arter
having shifted the British steamer Lu-
cerle from the flour mills to the Allilna
dock, and as the steamer No h onder
was In the berth she moored alongside.
Flreboat Saves Cabin.
The first act of the crew of the
George II. 'Williams was to cut away
the Shaver's bow line, and as the flre
boat made fast to the burning steamer's
bpw. the Shaver was swung Into the
river and a stream of water was turned
Into the main doors forward. That Is
thought to have driven the Are aft and
prevented destruction of the cabin, but
It was a clear sweep of the malndeck
aft to the wheelhouse. even to the plt
mans. In the engine-room the Are was
so hot that gauges were melted from
their fastenings.
The hull was not Injured, because
the Are did not get below deck and
the hogposts were not damaged to an
extent that permitted the chains to let
go. The cabin floor will have to be
renewed, as all carlinea were burned
nd the decking was scorched through.
while aft of the amldshlp gangway the
deck fell In. It Is not thought that
the engines and boiler are damaged be
yond use. but all fittings, the dynamo
and smaller machinery will have to be
replaced. As soon as the Insurance Is
adjusted a contract will be entered into
for the reconstruction of the vessel.
The company lost the small steamer
Messenger at St- Helens 15 years ago.
and the Shaver Are was the second In
Its history.

Better "than any statement we

are these words of Mr. Cochran.
He speaks from experience, the
highest possible source of knowl
edge. If you have any of the
signs of a weak heart, such as
pain in the left shoulder or arm,
fainting and hungry spells, short
ness of breath, smothering spells,

would be entitled to half of the prop
erty, while the minor son would get
the other half.
That Hassing could never bope to
benefit from the estate of the hvlfe he
killed, even though he should be per
mitted to live. Is quite certain, as vari
ous fees would probably eat up the en
tire amount. But the unique feature
of the case Is that final disposal of the
estate is prevented until it can be
determined if Hassing Is to die as
sentenced.
Mrs. liasslng's domestic tendencies
and her ambition to have a little home
for. herself and family were made evi
dent at the trial of her husband. She
had gained possession of the lot which
is represented as her entire estate, and
it had been planned by herself and
husband ko establish on It a modest
home, had not domestic djfficultles
arose, causing her to leave him and
endeavor to make a living for herself
and child.
Although the estate of Mrs. Hassing
can go Into the hands of her adminis
trator, no money, above the necessary
expenses, can be awarded to the son
as long as tho sentence of death In
the father's case remains unexecuted
or is otherwise altered. The disposal
of an estate under similar conditions as
those In which Mrs. Hassing's estate
Is Involved Is a task the local courts
have not been called upon before to
accomplish.

Title to Land Xcar Swan Island
Being Contested.
Title to 3000 feet of waterf rontage
near Swan Island is Involved In a suit
which Judge Gantenbeln refused to dis
miss on demurrer yesterday.
j.ms w Cook has a clear title to
the land until It nears the river front
age, but the strip of land between inai
which he obtained from the donation
nnA .i.im flf rinorcre Klttredge and the
water front Is overflowed during cer
tain seasons of tne year, ana no na
held title to It by virtue of an act of
.v.. f .oo-iai.i.ir. of 1876. granting the
ownership of shore land to the owner of
tracts which border 11 on ine siae oppo
site the river.
P. P. Dabney purchased from the
State Land Board in 1902 the strip of
land separating that owned by Cook
from the river, alleging, in his petition
for purchase, that it was tldeland.
Cook brought suit to have Dabney's
claim cancelled, on the ground that
previous to the time it was purchased
by the latter from the state, by the
act .of 1876, It was owned by Cook.

on enough facts to justify a trial. They
also set up various technical points to
cupport their contention that the case
should be thrown out of court.
In overruling this demurrer. Judge
Gantenbein -Said that the only matter
to be determined was whether the
property held by Dabney was above the
low-water line of the river. If. in
presenting the case to a Jury it Is
found that the land Is above the low
water line, then it belonged to Cook
before Dabney received title from the
state, the court ruled, and if below the
low-water line, it was within the rights
of the state legally to sell to Dabney
when he applied for It. As the case
thus resolved Itself merely into a mat
ter of fact, which only a Jury could
determine, the court ruled that It
should go to trial on Its merits.
The case will come up for regular
trial. It Is expected, some time In June.
