THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. JULY 24, 1912.
M'CUSKER URGED
TO BE CANDIDATE
Republicans Desire Opponent
to Lafferty for Represent
ative in Congress.
BULL MOOSE NOT POPULAR
I Follette Supporter Believed to
Have Necessary Qualifications
for SuccessFrogresslveness
Is ITnquestloned.
Petitions have been prepared and
will be placed in Immediate circulation
requesting Thomas McCusker, promi
nent Republican Progressive and ar
dent supporter of Senator La Follette.
to become an independent Republican
candidate (or Representative, in Con
gress from the Third District in oppo
sition to Representative Lafferty.
"I have been requested by a number
of prominent business men. Irrespec
tive of their personal choice for Presi
dent, to become a candidate for Rep
resentative In Congress from the Third
District,"' admitted Jlr. McCusker yes
terday. "Included among those who
have made the request were support
ers of La Follette, Roosevelt and Taft.
"If I should become a candidate in
opposition to Mr. Lafferty. I would
run only as a Republican, as I con
tinue to claim allegiance to that party.
I am still a Republican and a progres
sive." Independent Has Been Sought.
Ever since Lafferty came out and
declared for Roosevelt and the organ
ization of a third party. Republican
voters in this Congressional district
have been looking for an independent
to pit against him. Lafferty was re
nominated in April on the Republican
ticket, but his recent action In declar
ing for Roosevelt and the organization
of a third party is taken by Republi
cans to Involve a repudiation of the
nomination Itself. In their quest for
a Republican opponent. McCusker has
been deolded upon as the most formida
ble candidate and he will be asked to
make the race.
It was McCusker who conducted La
Follette's campaign in Oregon in the
Spring and secured second place for
the Wisconsin man in a three-cornered
fight. Besides. La Follette carried this
county, the Third" District, by nearly
1000 votes. There are other reasons
why McCusker is counted a strong can
didate by those who are urging him
to get Into the contest.
"Ball Momi la ITnpopuIar.
In the first place the rank and flic
of the Lft Follette following in Oregon
and particularly in Multnomah County,
are entirely out of sympathy with the
"Bull Moose" or third party programme
of Roosevelt, whom, they charge, double-crossed
their idol in the Presiden
tial campaign last Spring. Besides,
Lafferty has declared for Roosevelt
and the third part-. In consequence
the La Follette people are out of gear
with Lafferty and will support Mc
Cusker or any other of their own num
ber rather than line up with a man
who has abandoned the Republican
party and cast his lot with Roosevelt
and the proposed new party.
McCuskers strength as an independ
ent candidate, aver his friends, also
lies In the fact that he Is a Progres
sive of unquestioned quality and many
years' standing. In addition, it is con
ceded that McCusker. by reason of his
intense loyalty to La Follette. will
carry the La Follette vote of the
county. Another element of strength
In McCusker's probable candidacy, say
his friends, is the fact that, although
not compromising his progressiveness.
he has not left the Republican party.
It is known that he, with other La
Follette supporters, has no sympatny
with the third party movement and,
Lafferty having declared himself out
of the Republican party, .McCuSTter
would probably not be objectionable
to the Taft people.
BOND ISSUE PROTESTED
East, Side Club Thinks Auditorium
Can Be Built for $600,000.
More speed regarding: the Portland
public auditorium and a public market
is being urgred by the East Side Busi
ness Men's Club in a letter to Mayor
Rushlipht and each of the Councilmen.
Tho club believes that the people are
against additional money for the audi
torium, mainly because of the long de
lay in getting it under way. It believes
that the 9600,000 already levied is
enough to build a Rood auditorium.
Denver has one which cost less than
that amount, furnishings and all. The
Milwaukee auditorium, one of the best
in the country, is also within the limit.
The main reason for the club's stand
ing: against the raising: of more funds
toward the building: is the need of
more necessary things.
The communication to the Council in
part reads:
There Is now a decided fueling on the
part of I'ortland citizens against any In
crease In bonds for the proposed Auditor
ium, over and above the $tO0,o0O authorized.
The citizens seem to think this amount am
ple, for a number of reasons. First, be
cause we need some J2MMHH for establish
ing suitable public markets which must
come tn the near future to lower the cost
of living, as has been done and is being
done In other cities, notwithstanding the
knocks of the merchants" associations. Sec
ond, we need S-.OOO.ooo for additional parks
and playgrounds, which cannot be avoided.
The growing city demands these, and they
must be provided. We will also need an ap
propiiatlon for a municipal paving repair
plant, which Is practical and the public de
mands It. Almost before we know it, addi
tional bonds will be needed to carry on our
public dock system extension, to get ready
for and keep pace with our rrowth. We are
now bulldlnpc a public library for the city
and county at great cost. A new City Hall
will be demanded, soon, at great expense.
The municipal garbage collection bonds will
be on us soon, as well as the various bridge
bonds.

From Portland to Kenton.
A streetcar line, independent of the
Portland Railway, Light ft Power Com
pany, connecting Portland's business
district with Kenton, is to be estab
lished, if George F. Heusner succeeds
in securing: a franchise for which ap
plication to the City Council was made
yesterday. Mr. Heusner is largely in
terested In Kenton real estate. It is
proposed to use the Broadway bridge
in entering the cityr
The West Side terminus of the line

streets, in South Portland, while the
Kenton terminus will be at the city
limits, on Derby street.
"We propose to connect to the Ken
ton line, which runs from Kenton to
the Oresron Slough," said Charles H.
Carey. Mr. Heusner's attorney, last
night. "We are working entirely inde
pendent of the Portland Railway, IJght
& Power Company, ine jt-enton Dis
trict is growing rapidly. There is a
carline from Kenton to the slough, but
this will connect it with Portland's
downtown district."

years. It is to be commenced within

90 days after the franchise is approved.
The cars must be propelled by elec
tricity. Mr. Carey said last night Mr.
Heusner anticipated no trouble in se
curing power for the proposed new
line.
The aDDllcation will go before the
Council this morning, and probably will
be referred to the street committee.
The total length of the proposed line
is about seven miles, and the applica

REPORTED SALE DENIED
NORTHWESTERN' ELECTRIC OF
FICIAL MAKES STATEMENT.
Herbert Flelshhacker Points Out
Terms In Proposed Portland
Power Franchise.
Absolut, denial was made yesterday
by Herbert Flelshhacker. of the North
western Electric Company, oi tne sev
eral accusations recently circulated that
various power development concerns in
which he was Interested have been sola
to or merged with competing corpora
tions. Before entering into a discussion or
the situation relative to the application
which the Northwestern t,iectric i-um-nnnv
has made to the City Council for
a franchise permitting it to engage in
the light, heat ana power ousines m
Portland Mr. Flelshhacker took a fling
at the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company. He said:
"If the Northwestern Kiectric com
pany does not Intend to bring in new
competitive power to Portland or Is
not able to do so, then there is no rea
son for the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company to get excited. Its
very opposition is the strongest proof
that we are going to bring reiiei to
the citizens of Portland."
Flelshhacker also makes a detailed
explanation of the transactions at
Stockton, Cal., and at Sacramento, Cal.,
which were represented to have been
sales by the Flelshhacker interests to
rival and competing concerns, present
ing facts tending to prove that he and
his associates were not in control of
any of the properties reported sold
and that, in fact, the sales referred to
did not remove competition.
He DOlnts out that the franchise
pending before the Porland Council
provides that the property shall pass
into the hands of the city If an at
tempt is made to sell It to a compet
ing concern and that the Council has
power to regulate its rates.
"It is perhaps the introduction of
such a modern, liberal and public
spirited franchise," he said. "which
givea some persons great anxiety."
Mayor Rushlight yesterday received
from Mayor Rubensteln. of Stockton.
Cal.. a telegram, in which the Mayor
of the California city says that the
Fleishhackers would be welcomed into
Stockton. A previous telegram to Mayor
RuFhlight from Mayor Rubenstein was
published in Portland papers before
Mayor Rushlight received it and an
investigation followed. It was to make
certain that 'his attitude was clearly
understood that Mayor Rubensteln tele
graphed yesterday.
Mayor Rubenstein's telegram was as
follows:
"My attention has been called to the
fact that my previous communica
tion to you has been used for the pur
pose of prejudicing the application of
the Northwestern Electric Company for
a franchise in Portland. On further
investigation I And that the Fleish
hackers sold their plant to the Western
States Gas & Electric Company, who
subsequently acquired the competing
plant of the Stockton Gas Electric
Company. They always did splendid
work for the people of Stockton in
the war of good service and active
competition. We gladly would wel
come them into this field as active
competltiors at the present time. The
Fleishhackers control the Central Cali
fornia Traction Company, which op
erates local and interurban lines in and
around this city, and their service has
been of the best, and they endeavor to
please the public In every way."
The Northwestern Electric Company,
back of which are the Flelshhacker
interests. Is now trying to enter the
field in Portland for the sale of elec
tric light and current. The franchise
will be up for action before the City
Council this morning, when It is be
lieved It will be ordered published, as
required by the charter. It has been
valued by the Executive Board and is
back to the Council for passage. After
being published, the Council must then
pass or refuse to pass it.

DENNIS EXPECTED
TO STEP OUT
Central Committee Chairman
Is for T. R. and May Quit
for Taft Man.
NO SUCCESSOR CONSIDERED
Action of Kest of Republicans on
Committee, Who Are for Presi
dent, Halted TJntll Man
From La Grande Resigns. .
Having unreservedly identified him
self with the Roosevelt forces at Chi
cago, prior to the nominations that
were made by the -Republican National
convention. . Bruce Dennis, of La
Grande, chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, is ejtpected
by the members of the state committee
to resign and make way for the elec
tion of a chairman who is In sympathy
with the championship of the candidacy
of Taft and Sherman, the party's nomi
nees. Aside from Mr. Dennis, who
was elected chairman of the committee
at its first meeting following the April
primary, a majority of the members
of the committee are supporters of
President Taft.
Mr. Dennis arrived in Portland yes
terday from his Eastern Oregon home,
but denied himself to newspapermen.
It was Impossible to learn from him
what his plans are. For the same rea
son it could not be ascertained when
he expects to call the Republican State
Central Committee together. For the
last two weeks the Republican voters
of the state have been expecting some
word from their state chairman, espe
rlallv In view of his action at Chicago,
when he aligned himself with the
Roosevelt forces. But that word has
not been forthcoming.
Visit to City Stirs Speculation.
What his mission to Portland at this
time may be is a matter for further
speculation. It Is regaraed sigmncani,
however, that it is on the eve of the
"progressive" or third party conven
tion that is to be convened on the East
Side tomorrow.
There Is a report that when Mr.
Dennis does call the members of the
committee together he will tender his
resignation. Not that Mr. Dennis de
sires to quit the leadership of the state
committee, but he is said to realize
that he Is out of harmony with the
larse majority of the members of the
committee as they were chosen by the
precinct committeemen of the various
counties who were elected In the April
primary election.
The members of the state committee
owo their election to the votes of the
precinct committeemen who were
chosen in the last primary and with
few exceptions all are for Taft and the
regular nominees of the Republican
ticket
Mr. Dennis has not gone as far as
F. W. Mulkey, who permanently sev
ered his association with the Repub
lican party in order to qualify as the
candidate of the proposed National
Progressive party for United States
Senator. At the same time, so ' his
friends explain, Mr. Dennis is not de
sirous longer of heading the state com
mittee, which he knows is dominated
by Taft men. For this reason it is
presumed he will tender his resigna
tion as state chairman when he decides
to call the committee together.
Successor Not Yet Decided.
There has been no speculation as to
the probable successor of Mr. Dennis
when he steps aside. It is altogether
evident that he desires to quit the po
sition to which he has been elected.
This contemplated action on his part
will not be opposed by the majority of
the members of the committee, but the
choice of his successor will not be
considered until it is known definitely
that he will quit the chairmanship.
MORE FISH ARE PLANTED
STREAMS RECEIVE THREE CAR
LOADS TROUT WEEKLY.
Creek Taken Solely by Farmers Who
Exclude Anglers Will Not Be
. Stocked at This Time.
The Multnomah Anglers' Club is car
rying out Its plan of distributing three
carloads of trout fry every week, in con
Junction with the Bonneville hatchery
of the State Fish and Game Commis
sion. Two carloads left yesterday aft
ernoon and last night for Scappoose
Creek and Clatskanle River, where
some distributions were made last
night. The rest will be planted this
morning.
Deputy Fish Warden Craig is in
charge of the shipments and he and a
few of the members of the Anglers'
Club usually accompany the car until
the fish are poured into the rivers.
Scappoose and Clatskanle Rivers are
popular with the Portland fishers be
cause of the good opportunity to make
a one-day trip. The shipment consisted
of 75 cans, approximately 75,000 fish.
The other carload of fish for this
week's programme will be sent out
Saturday afternoon over the West Side
line. The streams which will be stocked
are: Gales Creek, Patton Creek, Scog-
gins Creek. Wilson Creek, Rock Creek,
Johnson Creek. Gaston Creek and York
Creek. The Tualatin River and the
Roaring Fork will also receive a num
ber of cans.
The itinerary originally included
Dairy Creek, one of the best trout
streams in the section. However this
is one of the streams which the farmers
have taken for their own use and plas
tered its banks with no-trespassing
signs. Therefore it will receive no fish
on this trip.
The fish will leave tne hatchery at
10 o'clock Saturday morning and lay
at the Union Depot until 4 o'clock In
the afternoon. They will be planted
during the afternoon and evening of
the same afternoon.
The streams about Gaston win re
ceive the biggest shipment, 80 cans
to be left there, 20 at mnsDoro and 40
to Reedvllle. '
The Multnomah Anglers' Club would
like to hear from fishermen in different
Darts of the country who know of
streams which should be stocked. The
application for fish should tell of the
streams which could be handled on the
same trip, and the stations where the
fish may be dropped off. Dr. E. c. Mc
Farland, 106 Swetland building, is the
secretary of the club.
PORTLAND PRODUCTS BEST
Government Official Praises' Oregon
Oats and Hay in Deposition.
Portland oats and hay are better than
either the San Francisco or Seattle
products, according to Major Jesse M.
SOOII
Baker, retired. This was his statement
in giving his deposition to the Govern
ment yesterday.
"I could get lower prices and better
oats and hay in Portland than in San
Francisco or Seattle during the three
years I was stationed here in the
Quartermaster's Department," he testi
fied. "The Puget Sound oats, raised in
an exceedingly damp climate, would
heat during the voyage to the Philip
pines, and cause trouble, while the oats
raised in Eastern Oregon and the Wil
lamette Valley remained in fine con
dition." The Major's deposition was taken in
the suit of the Government against
Kerr. Gifford & Co. for $595 for the
sacks in which the oats were shipped.
It was in 1903 that the Government
purchased from the commission mer
chants 4,000,000 pounds of oats, and
shipped them to the Philippines. It was
discovered later that the weight of-the
sacks had not been deducted, so the
Government asked for a refund. The
commission company said that the sacks
were good ones, and were worth more
by weight than the oats. The Govern
ment insisted, however, that it was
buying oats, not sacks, so it maintained
that Kerr, Gifford & Co. should return
the (595.
The commission house is spending
about $1000 defending the case, and if
it is decided in favor of the Govern
ment, may have to pay about $4000 to
cover the time of the Government's em
ployes in fighting the case, In addition
to the $595.
ADAMS IS GOAL NEXT
Tl. M. C. A. PARTY PLANS FOR
CLIMB NEXT YEAR.
Ascent of Mount Hood Is Greatlj
Enjoyed by Members of Busi
ness Men's "Gym" Classes.
So successful was the excursion to
Mount Hood by members of the busi
ness men's gymnasium classes of the
Portland Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation that it has been decided to hold
a similar outing each year. Mount
Adams has been chosen as the goal
next year of the enthusiastic Y. M.
C. A. mountain-climbers.
Although several Y. M. C. A, parties
had climbed Mount Hood previously,
the ascent last Monday was the first
that the association had conducted for
business and professional men. The
party went to Mount Hood Saturday in
six automobiles, returning to the city
late Monday night.
"Despite cold and fog the day we
climbed the mountain, we had a most
enjoyable trip," said A. M. Grilley.
physical director of the Y. M. C. A'.
"Saturday we were entertained by J.
L. Bowman, of Portland, at his Sum
mer home, and Saturday night we went
to Government Camp, where the older
men of the party defeated the younger
in a game of Indoor baseball. That
nle-ht we had a big campfire, with
songs and informal talks. One of the
most interesting of the speeches was
made by John H. Williams, or xacoma,
author of The Guardians of the Co
lumbia,' who spoke of Mount Hood's
history.
"The weather was so unfavorable
Monday that Guide Coleman was unde
cided about taking us to the summit.
By the time we had reached crater
Rock it had cleared up and we went on
to the top. The storm began again as
we were coming down, and it was so
foggy we could see only a short ois
tance. Rain froze on our clothing. Be
cause of these conditions we had to
nroceed with great care. Every one
in the party, however, enjoyed the trip
Immensely, especially the friendly ri
valry among the groups in which the
party was divided."
The Y. M. C. A. will conduct a sec
ond excursion to Mount Hood on Au
gust 10, 11 and 12. This trip will be
taken by a mixed party, which will go
to the mountain from Hood Kiver, as
cendlng the north side.
With Gun, Story-Teller
Holds Audience
Detective Howell Starts Yarn at
Headquarters, but Listeners Quiet
ly Slip Away All but One, Who
Looks into M fizmlr, and Stays It
Out Perforce.
IT was reporting time at detective
headquarters and the whole force
was waiting for duty, when Detective
Glenn Howell commenced to tell a
story.
"When Tlchenor and I were working
pawnshops we got wind one day of a
fellow that "
Detective Craddock walked tiptoe
out of the room.
"I was a-saying we got wind of a
fellow that had put up a big spark
ler," Detective Snow remarked, "See you
later," and strolled after Craddock.
"And he was a good thief, too, and
we wanted him bad, but "
Coleman, Price and Royle vanished
into the conference room, whence came
a sound- of smothered laughter.
Howell grew red in the face, but
went on bravely:
"So we fixed it up that "rich" was to
'stall' around the place while I "
Hunter, Lltherland, Hill and Epps
turned their backs and engaged in a
mumbled conversation as they walked
through the door.
Bob La Salle, youngest member of
the force, was elected to play Casa
bianca and hold the boards, "whence
all but him had fled." He, too, started
to squeeze past the narrator, when out
flashed Howell's big revolver.
"Now, doggone you, you've ' got to
hear this story whether you want to
or not." and La Salle heard it, down to;
"And I'll be blamed if the Judge
didn't give the fellow a year at the
rockpile!"
Then Howell replaced his artillery
as a shout came from the now-crowded
room the other side of the door.

OLD BRIDGE TO GO
Request for Use of Viaduct De
nied to County.
STEEL WILL BE STORED
Railroad Officiate Indifferent in At
titude to City Authorities, Whom
They Say Have Not Kept
Their Bargain.
With the opening of the new Harri
man bridge last Saturday, when the
first train was operated over it, prep
arations were made for the immediate
demolition of the old Steel bridge which
is nearing the end of its career of
usefulness.
J. P. O'Brien, general manager of
the O.-W. R. & N., has denied th
request of the county officials to al
low the old bridge to remain in use
for surface traffic pending the ad
Justment of the rental difficulties be
tween the railroad and the local au
thorities. As originally planned the O.-W. R. &
N. will begin to tear down the old
bridge August 9. A contract will be
let for its destruction. The steel parts
will be stored and used in future cul
vert construction. The smaller parts
probably will find place in re-enforcing
concrete.
Passenger service now is operated
regularly over the new structure.
Freight trains pass over it, too, while
construction trains also find it a ready
avenue for their movement.
Ever since the first train moved
over it Saturday the bridge has been
in perfect working order. Work trains
used it Sunday and Monday, ine iast
era mall train leaving here Monday
evening was routed over it, but the
first eastbound passenger train did not
cross it until yesterday morning. The
mall train carried no passengers.
O.-W. R. & N. officials have assumed
an attitude of indifference in their re
lations to the city and county. They
have fixed a price for the rental of
the upper deck which they say is rea
sonable. They point out that their original
plans did not contemplate the erection
of the upper deck, but that the city
forced them into building It. Now the
authorities are unwilling to keep their
part of the bargain, the railroad peo
ple say, by paying for the use of the
upper deck. ,
NORTH ALBINA JOINS PROTEST
President of Improvement Club In
dignant at Railroad's Action.
"The people of North Albina would
walk all the way to the Madison bridge
rather than stand for the hold-up of
the O.-W. R. & N. In regard to the
new Steel bridge," says J. H. Nolta,
president of the North Albina Improve
ment Club. "Of course tho giving up
of both bridges will mean considerable
delay and discomfort, but the robbing
of the taxpayers by such rents and
proposals as the railroad is demanding
for the new span should not be put up
with."
The North Albina club will hold a
meeting Thursday night, at which the
matter will be fully discussed. Mr.
Nolta is confident that the club will
draw up resolutions Indorsing' the ac
tion of the East Side Business Men's
Club, which sent a letter to the Coun
cil proposing the purchase of the
bridge.
