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

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. The consideration
named In the deed is only nominal.
SPEEDING MUST GO
Chief to Detail Six Officers in
Effort to Stop It.
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.

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
