COREY RESIGNS AS CHIEF CLERK He Declares His Intent to Run for Secretaryship at Next Election. QUESTION PUT UP TO HIM Benson's Ibrmc Kiglit-Hand Man ; Assert Be Was Given Choice of Resigning or Withdraw ing From Race. SALEil. Or.. May L-SpecIal.)-H. II. Corey, chief clerk la the office of the Secretary of Stat, reilgned after a con ference with Secretary Ben W. Olcott. In which he was ordered to decline to be a candidate for the office of Secretary. t the next election, as a consideration for holding his present position. Such a result of conditions has been pending for some time. Chief Clerk Corey has received letters from every section of the stmt urging him to be candidate. All of the thousands of friends of ex-Secretary Frank W. Ben son have. Joined In urging this move, and the mall here has been full of solicita tions dally. Corey received his appoint ment from Frank W. Benson. Although a subordinate in the office, he rapidly worked up and. when Mr. HnKon was compelled to leave for Cali fornia because of Ill-health, he left ths entire mnnaement of affairs in the hands of Corey. During the trying cam paign, wbn it was left to Corey to care for Mr. Benson's Interests and handle the office as well, he was In full charge and carried through the campaign and fflce work successfully. Just as Mr. Benson had made full ar rangements to offer the chief clerk an dvance In salary, word came from the south that the Secreary was dead. With the appointment of Mr. Olcott. Olcott and vrnor West conferred as to the em ployes that should stay, and a pact was Entered Into relative to Olcotts re-election. It wss determined that It would be good politics to allow Corey to stay provided that he would renounce his ambitions as a candidate for Secretary .f State. This was not put up to him forcibly ontll last week, and he was told to take a few days to consider It. He Most Ieclde at Once. t Today Olcott told Corey that he must definitely announce his position, and Corey decided that he would rather take the position of one not bound down by a pledge, thsn to retain bis place In the Secretary's office. It Is evident that Corey was retained to sidetrack h"s chances for election. Oovsrnor West, with his knowledge or the "game." knows that Olcotts chances for re-election are none too rood. He Is aware of the fact that Corey would be one of the strongest contenders and plans were made to sidetrack Corey and place him In an irretrievable position by allowing him to hold his clerkship and place him for ever out of the running as a plausible Tlepubllcan candidate for Secretary of State. With this end In view the halt has been held out to offer him plenty of time, hoping that be would remain. Corey, regardless of this, has consent ed to give Olcott every chance in the world to make good. "Although resigning." he stated to night." I appreciate that a new man In the office is severely handicapped. I have told Mr. Olcott that I will re main as long as he wishes me to with out any pay whatsoever, until such time a he la accustomed to the office work and will be able to secure a chief clerk who can handle all of the de tails. Xo One I Selected for Place. "I am a candidate for Secretary of State. I have received word from hun dreds of leading men In every part of Oregon and I am confident that the Republican party will give me Its warmest support. In my long connec tion with the office I know Its every detail and I am certain that If the people of Oregon desire efficient serv ice I can give it to them." Secretary Olcott stated that he has no on In mind aa a successor to Mr. Corsy. It Is generally conceded, how ever, that Frank S. Lovell will be ten dered the position. Mr. Lovell was In the Secretary's office for over 10 years and was formerly chief clerk. He Is a close friend of Governor Wesfa and will, it Is believed, be offered the place at least. Secretary Olcott said. In commenting on Corey's resignation: "I tendered the position of chief dark to Mr. Corey several day ago. He asked time to consider It. He gave me his decision today. This was to the effect he had decided not to remain, hut to resign with the Intention of be coming a candidate for the office of Secretary of State, lie alo said that he had been Importuned by many friends to do t'-.ls. Mr. Corey and I have been friends of long standing and I have only good to say of him. My slncerest and best wishes accompany him."

WALTONS HAVE SUCCESS OPENING OP SEASON AT OREGON' CITY KXCOCRAGIXG. Fishermen Swarm to Grounds In Antos, Cars and on Foot and Land Big Ones. OREGON" CITT, Or, May 1. (Spe- cal.) The fishermen are coming off of tne river with many good catches. Earlier in the day the luck seemed to be against tbem. but later changed. E. P. Klllott and W. P. Althoff brought In four fine fish, averaging 40 pounds each. I. Holsman. of Portland, brought one 40-pounder In with him. and W. F. Mark us. a sporting goods deale of Portland, had two that weighed 45. One party from Salem brought In IS. Charley Meyer, of Portland, had four beauties. Many others are bringing In single catches and there are still about 150 people on the water. Every car arriving in Oregon City during the day hat had a number of Waltons from Portland, who antici pated good sport, but few of those on the river bad much luck. Some of the fishermen came In their automobiles and took the same run of luck accorded by the God of Sports that their humbler comrades were compelled to accept. The boats presented an interesting appearance and the rocks were lined with a crowd of carious and Interested spectators. There were no accidents to mar the day's sport, but many had nar row and others amusing escapes In the white water close to the falls. The at traction of the water tumbling over the rocks seemed to be too much for many of .the disciples of Walton, and they pulled In too close, only to be driven bark by the current Several fine fish were caught, one man getting four fine salmon. His name could not be learned. Others bad varying luck. Most of those who ar rived early In the morning were still on the liver at a late hour In the even ing. The few who came In, had little to report because of the poor lack they bad been having. All the boats that were to be bad were In requisition dur ing the day. It being decidedly difficult to obtain any kind of service during the latter part of the afternoon. STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER GIVES HIS POSITION. Women Not to Be Employed Mxre Than Eight Hours In Washing ton After June . OLTMPIA. TVash.. May 1. (Special.) According to Charles F. Hubbard. Stat Labor Commissioner, a law. Is a law, and the new eight-hour law for women Is going to be strictly enforced. And he holds that it applies to all women workers In mechanical or mercantile establishments. laundry, hotel and restaurant, whether they be employed In running machines that produce ma terial for sale, or as bookkeepers or office girls, and he says it also Includes stenographers. Mr. Hubbard has had hundreds of the copies of the new eight-hour law for women printed on stiff cardboard, and Is sending them broadcast throughout the state, for the new law goes Into effect June . There Is no excuse, he declares, for employers of labor plead ing Ignorance and that. In his opinion, when the statute opens with the phrase "No female shall be employed . more than eight hours during any day." It means Just what It says. He announces that the language is so plain that there is no po3llillty for the law being misunderstood, and therefore he proposes to enforce It. Commissioner Hubbard holds the law to apply to all branches of an establish ment. Thus the girls In the front office of a laundry or other place get th same protection as th girls engaged In manual labor, and he even applies it to the girls working In. the editorial departments of newspapers, as news paper plants are mechanical establish, ments.

This action was taken this afternoon at the depositors' meeting in the County Courthouse, at which about ISO were present. The County Commissioners of Clark County made an appropriation of 1500 to pay the fee required by the special prosecutor. The plan of the Depositors' Associa tion now is to secure the services of Mr. Ferguson, an expert accountant, of Portland, to go through the bank books, and glv tb result of his In vestigation to Mr. Pipes and Mr. Tempos, and if they find that there has been any criminality in the handl ing of the affairs of the bank, to have warrants drawn .against those held responsible. If they believe, when this Investigation has been made, that a grand Jury Is necessary. Judge Mo Master, of th Superior Court, will call It, as he has promised. At the meeting today a collection was taken to bo used to defray neces sary expenses in hiring the expert accountant, and to send a man to dif ferent cities where evidenoe is believed by members of the committee to be, showing, or tending to show, that partnership existed between H. C Phil lips and Frank Aldrlifh, to whom large sums of money wer loaned by tb bank Mr. Tempos said ha had been Investi gating the case, but when asked by Captain Alfred Aloe, who presided at the meeting, if be had found lenough evidence to warrant the arrest of the bank's officials. Mr. Tempes replied he had not. Captain Aloe said that the warrant would be signed at once If the County Attorney would say . that sufficient -evidence had been secured to warrant It. Mr. Pipes. It Is understood, is not to prosecute the case for the4500 retainer fee, but Is simply to make an investi gation of the bank's affairs, and then, if he finds criminality, to recommend prosecution, or the calling of a grand Jury. In conjunction with the County Attorney, Mr. Tempes. Captain Aloe said that the time has come for the depositors to do some thing about prosecutilon, or quit. If anything has been done that Is wrong and it . can be found out, the guilty ones should be prosecuted, he said. If they have not, the matter should be dropped, he added. He suggested that both civil and criminal suits be started. Mrs. Carrie Mayer, a member of the depositors' committee, snld - she had asked Gilbert Daniels, cashier, why he had not Informed her the bank was In a shaky condition, adding that It was her confidence in him that caused her to keep her money there. She said that if Daniels had resigned, she would have taken out all of the money she bad lh the bank. She said, when asked today, that the bank had paid her 8 per cent on her savings deposits, bat she did not even then grow suspicious. Mr. Tempes was called and he said he had come to the conclusion that an expert accountant was absolutely necessary, and suggested that the de positors contribute to a 'slush fund' to pay incidental expenses, and in case of an emergency. A committee composed of Captain Alfred Aloe. Charles W. Hall, and H. D. Steel was appointed to supervise the expenditure of the de positors, contribution fund, and to as sist in the proposed investigation.

Small Industries and Newspapers Inconvienced by Burning of Ken dall Powerhouse. ROSEBURG, Or., May 1. (Special.) Kendall brothers' water and light plant, at Winchester, five miles north of Roseburg, was destroyed by fire, which originated In the generatlng-room early today.

As a result of the fire the auxiliary plant maintained in Roseburg Is used to Its capacity and many of the smaller industries have been compelled to re sort to gasoline motors for power.

Eliminating power circuits, the com pany expects to be able to furnish con sumers with light and water through its auxiliary station in a few days. Roseburg is in darkness tonight.
