11 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY. JULY 23, 1912- VOTER FOR LINCOLN HITS THIRD PARTY Veteran of Civil War Scores Roosevelt for "Selfish ness and Spite." BANDANA'S CALL ANSWERED Z. M. Parvln Replies to Letter or Progressives Supporters, How ever, Predict Satisfactory Mass Meeting Next Thursday. Reports reaching- the headquarters of the National Progressive Club of Ore Con cause the club officers to predict a satisfactory attendance of delegates at the mass-meeting of progressives at the East Hide Branch Library next Thursday. L. M. Lepper. secretary of the club, said yesterday that every county would be represented. The method of selecting representa tion to the convention was left to the different counties by the Portland club, which issued the call for the mass meeting. Roosevelt supporters In Marlon and Tillamook Counties have held meetings and designated five delegates to attend trie gathering. Other counties will be represented by volunteer delegates who have been Invited to attend. . When the call for the meeting was Issued several hundred letters were mailed by the Portland club to voters throughout the state, asking them to take part in the mass-meeting which is Intended to be the first step towards organizing a new party in this state following the Chicago convention on August 5. One of these letters was ad dressed to Z. M. Parvln. 165 Fourth street, Portland, Jlr. Parvln was a life long Republican and a veteran of the Civil War. He replied with a letter in which he not only refused to bolt his party but censured Roosevelt for in citing the organization of another party in order to satisfy his "selfishness and spite." "I endeavor to keep posted politi cally," wrote Mr. Parvin. "but your reference to honesty draws from me this reply. Honesty! Is it all to be found in Mr. Kellaher, Mr. Mulkey or even ex-President Roosevelt? Is all of It In either of the great political par ties? Will it all be In the proposed National Progressive party? Will this new party possess more honesty than those that have preceded it? "Some men lay claim to greater hon esty to further their own selfflsh ends politically and condemn those who op pose them, knowing that those they condemn are even better personally than they are themselves, but at the same time think the Nation or the state or the "dear people' cannot get along without them. "Abraham Lincoln did not accuse others of being dishonest. He was nominated In a convention organised on the same plan you condemn. He was called 'Honest Abe" by the people. Ho did not claim to be more honest than others. Although he may not ap preciate the fact, it is no less a fact that the man who, In the furtherance of his own personal and political In terests, calls others dishonest or charges them with acting dishonestly makes himself liable to the very same charges. "Now. gentlemen, as I address others than Mr. Kellaher. you cannot expect an elector who voted for Abraham Lin coln and Is a veteran of the Civil War of 1861-5 to "look in on you' or In any way encourage your political foolish ness. It would involve my going back on all of the political principles. Na tionally, for which I pledged my life In the War of the Rebellion and a bet ter National humanity since. But I see Roosevelt, a man of stronij and Influential personality, who has been honored by the Republican party In state and Nation as only a few have been honored, fritter his greatness away in selfishness and spite." BABIES POSE WEDNESDAY Moving Picture Beauty Contest to Be Staged at Star Theater. Entries for the prize baby show in motion pictures at .the Star Theater are numerous. The actual start of the taking of the pictures of the babies will not begin until Wednesday after noon, at 2 o'clock, in front of the The ater on Washington street. Each one of the babies will be distinctly num bered so that in voting for the pret tiest the public will be able to clearly distinguish the favorites. Arrange ments have been perfected to care properly for the little ones and their mothers. The crowds, not Interested in the pic tures, will do the management a great favor by watching the proceedings from the opposite side of the street, so that the camera man will have plenty of room to work properly. The contest will close Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after which no more babies will be photographed. The motion pictures will be developed by Sunday and the reel will be exhibited. Votes will be sl owed with each ticket. There will be three cash prizes of 25. Jlo and $10. This Is the first time such a thing has been attempted. . CHILD IS STAKE IN SUIT Mother, Married Again, Is Com plainant In Case. After a lengthy hearing, during which feeling was exhibited on both sides. Circuit Judge Gatens yesterday morning refused to order that pretty, golden-haired Kathleen Powell, aged 6. be taken from the custody of Mrs. W. T. Williamson and given Into the care of the mother, now the wife of James Sproat, a physician. Mrs. Sproat was formerly the wife of Andy L. Powell, who was connected with the City En gineer's office until a few months ago. She secured a divorce from him two years ago. In her divorce complaint. Mrs. Powell recited that her husband was addicted to intoxicants and had failed to support his family, making it neces sary for her to secure employment In a laundry at 9 a week. She stated In the complaint that the baby was with Mrs. Williamson, a sister of Powell, and Indicated a desire that the child should remain there until she was better able to support her. She did not, however, waive the right to claim the" Uttle girl at some future time. The hearing yesterday was on her applica tion for a modification of the divorce decree by which she would gain pos session of the child. She was repre sented by Attorney Dan J. Malarkey. For Mrs. Williamson and the father At torney Hall appeared. Mrs Sproat declared that Mrs. Wil liamson had taken the child to Cali fornia for ten months and was con .,iting taking her out of the state S She also charged that Mrs. Wil liamson was trying to educate the llt U. il not to love her mother. Kath leen was called and admitted that she still loved her mother best, although she also loved "Aunty Williamson." Attorney Hall brought Into the case the court record of a divorce which a former wife secured from Dr. Sproat by default. In the complaint the physi cian was charged with gross drunken ness, with lack of affection for his children and beating and otherwise maltreating his wife. " "The court will make an order that the child remain with Mrs. Williamson," said Judge Gatens-. "We will include in the order that the child must not be taken out of Multnomah County with out consent of court, and that the mother must be allowed to take the baby out at least once a week. Both parents have rights, and I want It so arranged that both may enjoy the so ciety of the child without em barrassment. It would certainly be em barrassing for Mr. Powell to have to go to Dr. Sproafs home to see his daughter. "Later," said Judge Gatens In con clusion, on noting gathering tears In Mrs. Sproafs eyes, "if it should de velop that the marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Sproat Is a success the court may see fit to make an order giving the child to the mother. They have been married only a short while. The charges made against Dr. Sproat by his former wife were serious, and I would prefer that he be put on probation for a time as It were, before permitting this little girl to be taken to his home. TAFT WATGHESNEBRASKA REPUBLICANS GCARD AGAINST "STEAL" BY NEW PARTY. Bryan, With Strong Personality, May Throw Many Votes to Wilson, Says State Delegate Blackburn. Supporters of President Taft in Ne braska hope to control the Republican state convention of that state when It meets at Lincoln July 30, according to Thomas W. Blackburn, an attorney of Omaha, who was at the Multnomah yes terday, and prevent any attempted lar ceny by the Roosevelt forces of the electoral candidates and the Repub lican organization of the state. Mr. Blackburn left last night for his home In order to attend the convention, to which he has been elected delegate. "In Nebraska we have a mixed sit uation," said Mr. Blackburn yesterday. "George W. Norris, Congressman from the Fifth District, and who was nomi nated for Senator at the April prima ries against Senator Norris Brown, has publicly espoused the Roosevelt cause. Governor Aldrlch, one of the 'seven Governors,' leans hard toward the Bull Moose party, but hopes to steer a mid dle course, as he was renominated for Governor. "The Republican state convention will make no nominations, as we have the direct primary and all nominees were seleceed in April. It will adopt the party platform. This will be the first test of strength between the war ring factions. A fight is anticipated, for the Taft contingent Is made up largely of the older leaders. I am a delegate and hope to reach Lincoln in time to take a hand. The Taft Re publicans feel that they will control the convention, declare for the- Presi dent and prevent any larceny by the Roosevelt people, who are seeking to control the electors and the organiza tion. "If the Taft men control it Is likely the third party men will organize and put in a ticket. In that event Taft candidates will be put in the places of any Roosevelt men nominated in April who now refuse to support the Presi dent. "With Bryan determined to carry the state for Wilson and the Democrats anxious to control the state, county and legislative offices, a division in Republican ranks gives the Wilson men great hope and the benefit of a strong organization of offlceseekers, for we have a long list of officials, county, state and National, to elect. "Nebraska is normally 20,000 Repub lican, but through Bryan's personal popularity Taft lost the state four years ago by 6000. Personally I am for Taft and the Republican party and have no sympathy with the Roosevelt bolt or the attempt his followers are making to capture our organization and use it for the third party candi date." urn is TEMPERANCE WORKERS WILL MEET OCTOBER 17-26.

BIG MORTGAGE RECORDED Portland Company Deeds Holdings to Secure $300,000 Bond Issue. ASTORIA, Or., July 22. (Special.) A mortagage was filed in the County Clerk's office this afternoon, whereby the Jones-Wheeler Company, of Port land, deeds all its timber holdings in Clatsop County, to the Central Trust Company, of Illinois, and 'William T. Abbott, to be held In trust as security for J300.000. in per cent bonds. The mortgage recites that the money thus derived, shall be used to liquidate the company's outstanding obligations, and to purchase additional property. A deed was filed for record this af ternoon, whereby the Seaside Door & Lumber Company sells to the jones Wheler Co.. of Portland, 2043.48 acres of timber land in the Upper Necanicum River district.

CITY ORDINANCE IS VALID Accident Toll Exacted by Faat-Driv-en Automobiles Recently, Calls Forth Petitions for Protection From Speed Maniacs. "I am going to assign about six offi cers exclusively to the duty of check ing speed maniacs, and more if neces sary," said Chief of Police Slover yes terday, discussing the tragic showing of the current month In disasters aris ing from the reckless driving of auto mobiles. "We will do what we can," said Cap tain Moore, in charge of the day re lief, "but we must have backing. One great trouble Is that when an officer makes an arrest It Is he, and not the defendant, who Is placed on trial. "This 'citizen and taxpayer gag Is never so bad as when we attempt to deal with automobile drivers," said a policeman, who is active in this line of work. "When a man has a family to support, and wealthy citizens threat en to have his star taken away for interfering with their pleasures, he is likely to be a little cautious." Speed Ordinance Is Valid. Marking the final discovery by the city authorities that the ordinance, sup posed to have been repealed by a re cent statute, is still alive, 10 cases of speeding were tried In Municipal Court yesterday. It having been found that the statute Is null, because it attempted to amend a city charter contrary to the provisions of the constitution. Promised severity of the Municipal Court in this class of offenses, because of the numerous recent accidents caused by automobiles, did not develop, the customary J10 and 20 fines being imposed. The reason given was that the cases were not aggravated. The police argue that every case where a man drives an automobile through city streets at 20 miles an hour is poten tially aggravated. Folloe Protection Petitioned. A petition bearing 28 signatures of persons living about Killingsworth and Albina avenues was received by Chief Slover yesterday, asking for police protection against speed maniacs. The petitioners say that It is unsafe to board or leave streetcars at that point. Patrolman Sherwood reported yes terday that a streetcar on which he was riding was passed by an automo bile which covered two blocks In seven seconds. That would be about SO miles an hour. The possibly fatal injury sustained by little Logan Roe, now at Good Samaritan Hospital, was an unavoid able accident, according to a report of Detective Swennes, who obtained state ments from eye-witnesses. The car which caused the injury was driven by James S, Clemence, 627 Washing ton street, who is bearing the nospitai expenses. Witnesses say he was trav eling at 10 miles an hour and stopped in seven feet. MISS BAUER'S SERIES ENDS Subject of Lecture Today Is "Opera Writers Since Wagner."

TICKET OFFICES MUST GO Rock Island, Santa Fo and Illinois Central Notified to Move. Before September 1, at least three railroad ticket offices on Third stroet will be compelled to seek other quar ters, because the building at the south east corner of Third and Alder streets has been leased to a big wholesale fruit concern which has ordered the tenants to vacate. It is probable that one or more of the office now In that building will move to rooms further west than Third street. The Rock Island, the Santa Fe, and the Illinois Central are the lines af fected. As none Is an Initial line it n.nK.hu th.t their locations after September 1 will be only temporary. Leases ot tne tiarriman uues Northern Pacific on their present quar ters will not expire until next year. The "foreign" lines probably will fol low them wherever they go.
