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

Fishermen Swarm to Grounds In

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.

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

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

to report because of the poor lack they
bad been having. All the boats that
were to be bad were In requisition dur

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.

County Attorney, as special prosecutor
In the case of the Commercial Bank
of Vancouver, which failed December
19. 110. 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.

FIRE CRIPPLES PLANT
ORIGIN OF CONFLAGRATION
AT ROSEBURG MYSTERIOUS.
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. The cause of the con
flagration is a mystery. Inasmuch as
the plant was operated by water power.
The owners estimate their loss at 140.
000. Insurance In the sum of 112.000
was carried on the building and ma
chinery. 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. The
local newspaper plants are crippled
through the loss of electric power.
With one exception local theaters have
suspended operations for the present.
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.
It is not probable that the Win
chester plant will resume operations
for several weeks, inasmuch as the
new machinery will have to be ordered
In th East.
This Is the third big Institution in
Douglas County to be visited by fire
within the past week. The destruction
of the lumber plant, at Leon a, last Sat
