LOMBARD AGAIN HEARD
Candidate Outlines Ills riatform at

Gay Lombard, candidate for Mayor,
said at a meetln of Mmtavllla cltl
sens In Oddfellow's Hall, Montavllla.
lait nl.'ht. that he was In favor of
unttlnic the city and county -governments.
"You now have two sets of
rrtcors.- he nattl, "two Treasurers, two
Audtors. a Chief of Police and a t-herl-l!T.
Of course the untttna- of the city
and county Is a matter which Is for
the UKi.ilature to attend to. but I be
lieve public sentiment can be so mould
ed that the public will be In favor of
It and that it can be brought about.
Mr. Lombard raid he was In favor of
a commission form of a-overnment. but
he was not In favor of attorneys for
the pavlni; company betnr on the com
mtttee appointed to revise the charter.
The charter is to blame for many evils
of the present administration, he said.
fie said he was In favor of enforce
ment of the laws, that ha would see
that better pollre and fire protection
were provided for the auburban dis
tricts, that he believed denlxena of the
underworld should not be permitted to
parade downtown streets or maintain
houses In the residence districts and
that he would not allow saloons In res
idence districts where the sentiment
was against them.
WERLEIX .MISQCOTED, HE SAYS
Hen-arks on Veto Power Dlotorted
as Basis for Attack.
Charges that an evenlnr paper deliber
ately threw false Hutu on his statements
In an editorial published last night as
an escue for denounclnc his candidacy,
and that an interview with him. which
appeared In Tuesday's Uue of that
paper, was obtained and distorted pri
marily for the purpose of bavins: mate
rial on which to base the editorial, were
maJe last nlcht by J. E. Werleln. one
of the three men seeking; the Republican
nomination for Mayor.
A man who said his name was Smith
and that he was a reporter for the Jour
nal, came to my ofllce Tuesday and said
that he wished to obtain a comprehen
sive statement of my views on city rov
ernment. I replied that I would be glad
to elucidate my Ideas." said Mr. Werleln.
"We launched Into a discussion of the
executive branch of the jovernraent.
1'urinir the course of the conversation I
told him that I would u.-e the veto
power without stint In order to place a
damper on extravagance and undesirable
legislation.
"Incidentally I pointed out that while
the Executive Board, according to the
charter, may execute. It Is not compelled
to do so. anJ declare! tnat the members
of a board wbj would alt id:y by and
enforce all the Council's wishes as they
came up would be of no use to the city.
"I wish t say now that my record Is
so clean I defy any man to rind a blem
ish In it that some trirk of this kind
would have to be resorted to In order
to create campaign material against me.
My whole office was checked up a short
time ago by my bonding company and
everything was found In nrst-cians shape.
I have no hesitation In saying that It Is
my solemn belief that this Interview
wss obtained for the purpose of being
twisted to my disadvantage."
"I said 1 would use my veto power.
Why la such power placed In the hands
of a chief executive? Is It merely a
theoretical power or la It Intended to
be used In the Interests of the taxpay
ers? I said the Executive Board could
refuse to execute. If it could not.
why Is there such a board?
"I never aald I would not. as Mayor.
enforce an ordinance passed over my
veto by the Council. I said the char
ter did not make It obligatory on the
Executive Board to execute anything
and everything the Council might pass;
that the Board has a discretion and Is
Intended to act. at times, aa a check
upon the Council.
If the Council should pass an ordi
nance governing liquor, for example.
and I vetoed it, and It was passed over
my veto. I would enforce it. because the
Council would be responsible for It.
not the Mayor. If. however, the Coun
cil should appropriate funds for pur
poses deemed by me to be extravagant.
I should see to It that the Board did
not execute. In this way I would be
able to save the taxpayers much money.
"I was sincere In my declaration that
if the Council passed it over my veto I
would give the disputed legislation as
much publllcty as posMble and let the
public Judge which was correct. There

To' Informer, Italian Public Is In
debted for Details or Ramifi
cations of Great Crim
inal Organization.
VITERBO. Italy, April 26. (Special.)
Although the trial of the Camorrlsts
has been temporarily suspended by
reason of the ruse of the jurors in
feigning- sickness because their de
demand for higher fees was denied. In
terest In the case shows no abating.
To the public the trial has read like
a penny dreadful and many Imaginative
persons have painted Genaro Abbate
magglo, the Informer. In the lisht of
a courageous hero, daring to brave the
countless stilettos of his an (try clans
man, that the ruthless murder of Cuoc
colo and his wife might be avenged.
In whatever colors the informer is
painted by those who have followed the
fortunes of the Camorra since it was
dragged into the limelight, Abbate
mairKlo is unquestionably the most
striking figure In the case, not even
excepting- the priest "guardian angel
of the Camorra," he calls himself
whose fervent, dramatic explosions
were features of the trial a week or
two back.
Secrets Are Bared.
The public is Indebted to Abbate
maggio for the absorbing details of the
ramifications of what Is said to be one
of the most powerful secret criminal
organisations In the history of the
world.
Many Neapolitans were appalled
when Abbatemaggio related that no
lass than 14 distinct bands of 24 Cam
orrists each, augmented by 48 picciottl
(recruits). In turn aided, by twice as
many giovanl onorati (honored youths
who some day will be of the clan) prey
upon Naples.
Into eager ears the Informer told of
the valor of the Camorrlsts, their fierce,
unrelenting pledges of faithfulness to
the band, of courage, of discretion. He
told how each honored youth, must
serve his apprenticeship before he Is
recognised In the councils of the
Camorra and permitted to commit
crime In Its name.
Recruits Must Have Sponsors.
He told how after a youth had been
accepted a recruit, a member In good
standing must stand sponsor for the
lad. dwelling upon the crimes he has
committed in proof of his quallnca
tlons.
Nor is the war J"et clear to the as
pirins: recruit. There is in the
Camorrist council the terso contrario,
who acts as attorney for the order and
parries and probes the assertions of
the candidate. Tnen. it tne recruit
passes muster, he must undertake the
tlrata a kind of duel which is usual
ly perfunctory. Unless he weakens he
Is t'.ien a full-fledged Camorrist. with a
retinue of hopefuls In his wake. s
There Is talk now of a change of
venue in the Cumorrists' trial, to avoid
the delays which the clamoring jurors
aro now causing. A decision as to this
Is expected shortly.
Player SIglis Real Sighs in Police
Court While Attorney Obtains
Continuance of Case Brought
by Spouse Until May 5.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 26. (Spe
cial.) Not "the Broken Idol," but a
shattered matinee idol, seemed Thurs
ton Hall, the Alcasar Theater s hand
some leading man. when he appeared
before Police Judge Shortall today to
be arraigned on the charge preferred
by his wife. Mrs. Lucille Perry Hall.
His face was pale, his manner dis
traught, and he sighed real sighs.
Although the day before he had in
sisted that his alleged affinity, named
in Mrs. Hull's complaint as "Amy
Dale," had no existence, corporal or in
the imagination of any person except
Mrs. Hall, who, he said, deserted him
a year ago, the police h&rt discovered
that Amy Dale is charmingly alive.
They say absolutely they have cleared
the mystery of her Identity and are
now only concerned in her where
abouts. There is a warrant out for "Amy
Dale's" arrest and It Is in the hands
of Detective Sergeant Bailey, but Miss
Dale, described as being a most pre
possessing blonde, true to the character
It Is alleged she has played for the
past two years, remains in the back
ground, and the police do not know
where this background is. It was in
timated today that perhaps the young;
woman is a fugitive from justice, fly
ing eastward on the Overland.
Before his case was called today the
erstwhile dashing- leading man paced
nervously back and forth, threading
his way through the motley crowd that
throngs the narrow corridor outside
the Police Court of a morning. His
large, expressive gray eyes rolled In
quiringly as he searched the corridor
for his attorney, J. E. Alexander.
Harold Ide Cruzan appeared, as spe
cial prosecutor, representing Mrs. Hall,
who did not come to court. After Hall's
arraignment Alexander asked for a
continuance, which was granted, to
May 5. Mrs. Hall alleges that her
husband, after deserting; her, was ac
companied around the country by the
blonde and that their pictures were
published as man and wife by a Port
land rewspaper while Hall was leading
man at the Baker Theater, In the Ore

Nearly a Million Dollars Have
Been Spent in Efforts to Win It
This monogram on

SPORT is simply battle without bloodshed. It is war with the desire to
maim and kill left out. Therefore, it brings out the best in men.
And the greater the prizes, the stronger the men who compete for
them; the more intelligent the effort put forth to win; the more honor
to the winners.
The Glidden Trophy has been contested for seven times.
More people, ten times over, have seen the Glidden Tour in progress
than have seen any other automobile contest.
The Glidden Tours have passed through twenty-six states of the Union
and through Canada.
Not only is it the most famous motoring Trophy in the world, it is
one of the most celebrated trophies of sport in the whole world.
Beautiful as this Trophy is," it is not its intrinsic value which makes
it so desirable. It is the traditions of all those seven contests those
contests which crossed and recrossed the Alleghenies, the AVhite Moun
tains, the Berkshires, the Adirondacks. Those contests which drew out
their unending miles through the great West and South; those contests
which have enlisted the best engineering brains, the most highly trained
mechanics and the most skillful drivers in the industrj'.
In the 1910 Tour the longest and hardest ever held The Glidden
Trophy was won by a stock Chalmers "30" $1750, with magneto and
gas lamps. Never before had this trophy been won by a car costing less
than $4000.
The Trophy is now on exhibition in our show room. "We invite you to
come and see it, and a duplicate of the car that won it, which stands
alongside.
This is the first time that Portland people have had an opportunity
to see this famous trophy, and we sincerely trust that everyone interested
in motoring will call during the week. It will only be on display in our '
show room for one week.
