Admirers of United States Senator Horah. of Idaho, among the Republican voters of this stale have started a movement to write his name- on their ballots as the party's nominee for Ylce-Preldent. Friends of Thomas Slc Cusker. who Is managing Senator La Follette's campaign In this state, havo launched a similar movement In his be half, and will strive to secure for hlrn the popular Indorsement as the candi date for Vice-Presidential honors on th Republican ticket. Senator Ilorah ts recognized as one c-f the foremost men in the United States Senate, and Ills record at Wash ington shows that he has supported all legislation In the Inlereet of the entire Pacific Northwest. Mrs. Porah Is a daughter of W. J. McConnell. formerly State Senator from Yamhill County and Preiddrnt of the Oregon State Senate In !'. He aftermard moved to Idaho, w herr. by appointment. lve served as I'nlted States Senator for a portion of a term. Subsequently he served two terms as Governor.

Although he Is not an a tlve cand'date for Vice-President. hl name has frequently been mentioned as a possible nominee. I'rlends of Mr. Borah urge that an un jiought indorsement of the Idaho man at Lie hands of Oregon Republicans In re primary election would not only be a fitting tribute to his worth and standing and the esteem In which he la held bv the people of this state, but also a snlendld compliment to Oregon's sister state. Republicans who favor Senator Borah's nomination for Vice-President mar vote for him In Friday's primary election by writing "X Borah. William F of Idaho." st the proper place on the primary ballot. CLUB EXCURSION ENJOYED Multnomah Members Make Pleasant Ueek-Fnd Trip to Gearhart. GEARHART. Or.. April 14- (Special.) After an enjoyable run of three hours yesterday, the Multnomah Club excur sion to Gearhart was transported from a city overhung with threatening clouds to where the sun shone from a cloud less sky. Week-enders at the beach re sort had two solid hours of sunshine, during which many of them went In the surf. Th ocean was as placid as on the most balmy day of Summer. The evening was passed In dancing In the vparlous parlors of the Hotel Gearhart. Arthur Cavlll and a few others started a monopoly of the ocean and the big tank which has Heen fixed up for the enjoyment of swimmer. At mid right a few of the more confirmed water-lovers went In for a swim to cool tici nerves for a i;oo. n'?hl' reft.

Declaring that she would rather die now than be murdered upon her re lease after the trial of Wong SI Sam and Lew Soon, charged with the mur der of Sold Ming last December, Ol Sen. the Chinese slave girl whose testimony la expectfd to be the means of con victing the two. last night In the City Jail drank a pint of benxinc In the ef fort to commit suicide. The quickness of Matron Simmons and Jailor Webster In administering emetics saved her life. She was taken to Good Samaritan Hos pital. Since the night after she was oroucnt back from Billings, Mont., by Detective Dav and confessed to her share In con cealing the body of the murdered man. implicating Lew Soon, a Chinese saloon keeper, and Wong SI Sam. a cook, t'l Sen frequently has declared that she did not expect to live beyond the end ing of the trial. The woman said she would be killed should she appear upon the streets without protection. Matroa Saves Life. Ol Sen has been closely watched In Jail. Yesterday afternoon she was al lowed to co out for a walk witn uetec- tlve Duy. to buy some medicine, and bought a pint of gasoline to clean ner American clothes before appearing at the trial today. She asked Matron Simmons permis sion to keep the benzine in her cell until night, but this was rerusea ana the girl was put to work on her domes In the open room of the matron's de partment. When Mrs. Simmons turned away l Sen raised the bottle to her lips and drained It. The matron hastily forced milk uown the woman's throat. Ol Sen fousht against taking the liquid, and onty drank It after she hsd been half choked. Then Jailor Webster gave her mustard In warm water. Ir. J. K. Lock was summoned and administered sedatives. Ol e Fears Host !. Vndcr the care of Detective Hyde. Ol Sen Friday visited the long house of the Hop Sings, of which she and the two men charged with the murder are members. Here she talked to friends. Her chief fear of murder Is supposed to be from the Hop Sings, whose reprisals upon the prosecutors of Hons SI Sam and Lew Soon have rostjine life and two serious wounds among Chinese since the discovery of the murder In January. Sue Ding, who was mistaken for a member of the Hop Sing tong. was killed a month after the discovery of the body of Seld Wng In a trunk at the Klnc-strcet station In Seattle. I hln Wing, a Hop Sing man. was shot and wounded In the left arm shortly after, and SelJ Wing, of the Bow Leung tons, which has been strong in the prosecu tion of- the two men charged "With the murder, was shot accidentally In the aide while running from the room In which Sue Ding was murdered at.St Second street. Odd Oresaoay I'rosslaed. Trial of Wong SI Sam. Chinese cook. accused of murdering Seid Uing. will begin In Judge McOInn s department or the Circuit Court today. As It will be followed by the trial of Lew Soon on the same charge, and as much of the testimony will be given In Chinese. through Interpreters, the hearing of the evidence of the murder Is expected to cover a long period. Administering of the oath to Chinese witnesses according to their own cus toms will Involve an elaborate cere mony, in which chickens ar beheaded.

EHRGOTT WILL EXPLAIN I'nfrtK'keil IlnptlM Prea-lier to Tell Views at CItie of pastorale. "The Preacher as a Troubler" will be the subject of an address by the Rev. A'bert Ehrgott. of the Enst Side Bap tist Church, st the Woodmen Hall on the West Side the evening of Slay 22. Hev. Mr. Ehrgott will have closed his pastorate at the East Side Baptist CTiirch, whre be has been for some time, and will he free to speak his sen timents. He will explain his Ideas of the duty pf the preacher toward mod ern conditions and what the attitude of the church should be toward these and toward the preacher. Rev. Mr. Ehrgott made the first an noumement that he would cover these questions In an address at the meet ing of the Willamette Baptist Associa tion last week, where modern civic problems were under consideration. He Relieves his position is ouch that, while the church In general may not agree with him at present, it will eventually come to his way of thinking. Regard ing a rumor that Rev. Mr. Ehrgott might start a "progressive church" here after hi.' own Ideal, he said: "I hae heard of the report and am j rot encouraging that matter. I have nothing to say as to wnat action I shall take and shall leave that matter alone at present." SALEM MAY SEIZE PLANT Mayor l.tielininnd Ailvoeales UraMic Measure With Water Conijuiny. SALEM.

SELECTIONS RANGE WIDELY Programme Sliows Pleasing Con tracts. Prom Severely Teetinl- cal Compositions to Those of Popular Flavor. I BV JOSEPH M. QUEXTIX. By far the most, lasting orchestral success scored here this season was that won at yesterday afternoon's con cert, given by the Portland Symphony Orchestra, at the Helllg Theater, be fore the largest and most enthusiastic audience of the "orchestral series. The programme was not severely technical, the selections played partook of th nature of a popular offering, they were so well known, and the event closec tho concerts of the Symphony Orches tra for the music season of 19J1-12. The orchestra men played with a surer trin and- with an ease and fin ish that gave evidence of growth of ensemble effect and a complete under standing of conditions. The audience plactMl its cordial appoval on tho se lections played and insisted on two en cores. "Tacbalfcowaky's Composition Pleases, Critically speaking, the most valu able offering musically was the "Sym- nhonie I'athetique." by TschaiKowsKy, which took 41 minutes for rendition. This was also a test piece and much curiosity was evinced to hear it played for the first time by a Portland orchestra. I'ortland last heard it through the medium of the New York Symphony Orchestra with Walter Dam- roach as conductor, i estenlay s inter pretatlon of it was very creditable to the orchestra men, and will linger gratefully In the minds of the audi ence. From the quiet and attention which reigned during its rendition. It cannot be doubted that many young people present heard It yesterday for the first time In their lives. So much for Its educative value to students. This "Symphonle Pathrtlque" must he accepted as a poem of life and death Tschalkowsky was incoherent or hes itating on the subject) with the Infant melody starting almost from nothing ness In the first movement, growing to a military picture In the third, and sinking to a sigh in the last beats Of Ihe closing measure. There Is no crashing finale with trumpet peals, only a mysterious voice ealllnfr and then silence. Bizet's suite. "L'Arliesienne." Is pret ty and graceful and worthy of the gay lAtin movement in the composer's "Carmen." without the maddening gai ety of that sensuous opera. Lighter Selections Approved. The real, popular notes of the oc casion were struck with the selections for strings In "Minuet" .( Boccherini). "To a Wild Rose" (MacDowell) and "Spring Song" (Mendelssohn).' These three compositions are well known, so much so that little girls and boys ploy them on tho family piano, and were doubtless Introduced In the programme to relieve the heaviness and statu esque beauty of the big Tschalkowsky number, and because they are de servedly favorites. The "Minuet" and "Spring Song" were neard with de lighted approval and had to be re peated, so Insistent were the encores. AnofVer well known favorite to older musicians was Weber's ".Tubal" over ture with Jts finale breaking into the tune' sung to "My Country 'Tis of Thee." It Is worthy of record that when yesterday's audience heard the first bars of "America," they stood as a sign of respect. The air was a de cided favorite with Weber and l.e used It liberally. The tune Is said by one authority to have first been sung to "God Save the King," by Henry Carey, in England, in the year 1740 at a -patriotic concert, but the origin of the air is wrapped in mystery. It is claimed as their own by Germans. Scotch and Swiss. Prob ably we shall next hear that it was composed In ancient Phoenloia, and that it was originally sung by the cave men. Fat ore Looks encouraging. M. Chrlstensen was conductor at yes terday's concert, and he fulfilled the duties of that difficult position with credit and modesty. The concertmas ter was George Jeffrey, who drew the number entitling him to play, and he did well. It Is satisfactory to know that Port land has approved of Its co-operative symphony orchestra, with conductors selected by ballot from the member ship, and that the prospects for next season are bright. H1GKS VERDICT STIRS ,VORKIXGMAX TF.LI.S CAISKS WHICH LEAD TO VIOLENCE. High Costsflf Living With Kefusjil of Employers to Increase Ixw Wage- Make Men Desperate, 1 Claim. PORTLAND. April 13 (To the Edi tor.! The Hicks trial for the killing of Wortman. a striking machinist, and the verdict of the Jury of not guilty, crises a vein of thought in my 'mind that leads to where? That there Is something radically wrong ' with our social condition is plainly evident. To my mind, the taking of hu man life is not Justifiable, except In extreme emergencies, and for self protection only when the actual danger Is evident beyond the possibility of a doubt; at the same time I do not wish to put myself on record as criticising the verdict of the Jury in this case. But from the stand point of a laboring man, the ver dict means more than the mere acquit tal of Mr. Hicks, who. In his own mind, knows whether the verdict is Just or not, and It not, the horror of the pic ture that must forever be before his eyes will be a punishment greater than anv Jury or Judge could pronounce. It is the strike, .with Its causes and effects, that is brought to my mind by this unfortunate affair. It Is said the worklngman should not strike; he shouTa. not picket: he should not boy cott. Labor Is tho workingman's capl fal. We cannot all be wealthy; we can not all be employers. No matter how "bright" some men may be in other respects, they oil have not the faculty of accumulating money, even tinder the most favorable conditions. But the av erage worklngman never has an op- 'ORTLAND WHOLESALE. At.RKTI.Tl KAI. IMI'I.EMIvSTS. Mitchell. Lewis Staver o.. Mor on -J. Srou-iinn-ell imp. Co.. S2U -a K. Morrison. JOHN DEKKB Plow t'o..

Hence it is actual need that causes ; some on strike to resort to violence, thinking thereby to hasten the strike to a satis factory conclusion. Of course. It Is a mistaken idea, but a man without a dollar to his name. little or no credit and a family with an a family's needs looking to him to sup ply these wants, is very likely to be come desperate. After all has been said, I believe the thinking public will concede that the strike is sometimes unavoidable and it might be whispered to one's self. Justifiable. Allow me to picture the condHtlon of men working at their trades in a fac tory or other concern. Ihe greed or man or desire to accumulate wealth keeps their wages down to the mini mum. Their families grow larger, ex nenses mount higher and higher. Gro ceries, meat, vegetables, milk, butter. light and gas combinations raise prices until wages have only a fraction of their original purchasing power. Rents grow higher, or If one owns his own little home, the high taxes are a heavy burden and. in the aggregate, amount to almost rent, especially if he owes on the home and Is paying Interest on deferred payments. He must have more money. Ho ex plains to the proprietor, but o in crease In wages results. His labor is all he has to sell, but the market Is controlled by rn Iron hand. The work man Is helpless. men men combine. Their cause is common. They realize they cannot live as man should live on the money they are rece'ving. But thie rnmhinpii fforts result fruitless ly. Hence the strike. Among these strikers are men who realize they can 111 afford to go on strike. They think of their families, who must suffer. But they cannot stay and work u tneir iei low workmen, no more able to be Idle than themselves, walk out of the shop or factory. They must walk out. Even hnni.i thev continue to work and the strike should result in more wages, they feel mighty small to accept tnat which was gained by the hardship ana sui ree ling of their fellow workmen and their families. They walk out. Then come days of Idleness and suf fering, r.ot only for themselves, but for their families. If they could not keep their families on wages earned at BUSINESS WHOLESALE.

And so the strike goes on and women and children continue to suffer. Then men become desperate. Then It is that violence re sults., Then come the "strikebreakers." Some of them are professionals at this business; others come thinking to bet ter their conditions. But they do not. for if the men who were familiar with the work and were located, could not live on the wages paid how long be fore history will repeat itself; then another strike, more suffering and vio lence. We are told the laboring people are not economical. My God. can a man economize on a doughnut a day? Could one expect the poor women and chil dren in Senator Bourne's cotton mills to "economize"? W'hy, with the means of the average laborer, economy moans skimping and suffering and few of the things that go to make life worth living. But, honestly, doesn't it seem that something is wrong with the system that permits the proprietor or the em plover to ride in his auto to and from work, patronize the best hotels, the aters and enjoy the best there Is in life, while the faithful, hard-working employe, with no vices, no real antag onism in his nature. Just a love of home and a desire to do the best he can for his loved ones, must walk to and from his work, over Icy streets or burning pavements, clad in coarse, worn foot wear, carrying, perhaps, his meager lunch, to be eaten in a dirty factory or workshop amid the scenes of his daily toil? Truly, there is no excuse for violence during a strike. But if some man. face to face with- the grim specter want; ground down and oppressed un til he cannot longer stifle a cry of distress; haunted by a fear of not be ing able to save one dollar of his meager wages to leave behind for the loved and dependent ones; seeing even In his dreams the grim face of his employer and feeling the hopelessness at the determined shako of the head when he asks for more money; if this man should at last turn, and for a brief period show his fangs to the em ployer, then he is dangerous, is a menace to human life and oh, well!

But, on the other hand, if an em ployer should be killed during a strike riot (can't remember an instance), what a difference. One of the 30 or 40 shy ster lawyers hanging around, looking for a Job, would be appointed to defend (?) the murderer and the defendant would get his just deserts be hanged. What 'is the answer to all this? Organized labor, on a sane basis, has done much to overcome these unequal conditions, hut what a fight it has had to mako for existence. Whether this is the answer, I do not know. Must fire be fought with fire; organi zation fought with organization? Must this suffering always continue or will an all-wise rrovidence intervene and at least lessen the suffering of the in nocent and helpless women and chil dren concerned in this unequal strug gle? EDGAR W. STAHL. JEWS TO SEEK FARM LIFE Fromcnson, Leader iri Movement, Talks of Necessity for Actin. "Forward to the soil" is the slogan brought to the Jews of Portland, by A. H. Fromenson, of Philadelphia, execu tive secretary of the National Farm School, who has been touring the Coast for the past two months on behalf of that propaganda and in the interests of the school, which Is practically the only institution of its kind in America. The National Farm School has for its object the training ef leaders of Jew ish agricultural colonics, which many farsighted members of that race deem necessary to break up the ghettos and slums of largo Atlantic Coast cities, and to prevent the duplication of these conditions and horrors in the cities of the Pacific Coast. "The imminence of this danger to the Coast is greater than many realize," Mr. Fromenson said yesterday, at the Multnonrh Hotel. Any one familiar witli Eastern conditions and aware of the fact that 700,000 Jews live in the tenements of New York City, must realize tho fu;i magnitude of its men ace. For tho Coast, the danger will be come acute as soon as Hie Panama Canal is opened, to transportation." i
