Wright Questions Political Honor of Method Revealed by Hoosevelt Followers "Snipe Shooting" Is Condemned. Declaring that the recent Bull Moose convention at Chicago furnished manifestations of "religio-politiclsis." Robert C. Wright, chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Central Committee, yesterday que -tloned tne motive behind the agita tlon of Charles W. Ackerson and other members of the third party In this county for a complete state and county ticket In Oregon ana -a"' County. Mr. Wright denounces the contemplated action of the third party workers in this state as dishonest party management and an unfair treat ment of Republican nominees who hare been regularly nominated In this state for both state ana county ojljuc, Goldea Oe.lt Brought Forth. T notice Mr. Ackerson. erstwhile delegate to the Republican National nntinn nnhllclv criticises the Re publican County Central Committee for ending a letter inquiring mo oi .tutus of candidates." said Mr, Wright yesterday. "The County Cen tral Committee proposes vigorously to etand for Republican principles uu will not hesitate to answer crroam. Tt us first look over the happen Ings of the last few days. Behold a great assembly in Chicago! The sooth sayers and priests bring forth a gold en moose calf. Straightway an tne people bow down and worship it, cry ing aloud. There is no god but this god. and Roosevelt is Its prophet.' And the prophet went into a trance t Oyster Bay. Out of his visions he put forth many a long chapter of his polit ical koran for the guidance of the faithful who shall go forth to slay the political Infidels with rire ana swora. Aian lonk unon the great high riH.fit Reoree W Perkins. Has he not said to the multitude, 'I have walked and I have talked with the angelsr There shall be a great altar In the new temple of the moose. There shall be candlesticks and a "big stick,' all of purest gold. A stream of gold and silver shall pour down from the moose head upon the altar and the great pile thereof will dassle the people. Bo the multitude there assembled shouted and danced with Joy and played upon their cymbals and musical instruments. The nroDhet himself started the howling dervishes In their mad dance. Hs waved his bandana and with political Ingenuity kept up this religious ier- vor. xReliKlo-FolltlelsIs" Appears "The Republican party can never be charged with making such a mockery and travesty of religion for political purposes. Its gatherings have always rendered a dignified and proper respect for religious matters. The crowd at the Chicago conven tion seems to have developed a new form of nervous ailment. Perhaps it might be called rellglo - politicals. These nervous diseases are contagious and the publlo should be protected against them. If the case at Chicago shall be examined by ethical philoso phers the patients may be found to . have lost holding-nuts from their moral stay-bolts and have gone morally wrong. If they shall be examined by alienists they may find It a plain case of screws loose over politics and re ligion hopelessly mixed. -Mr. Ackerson certainly takes an astonishing position If the new party Is to be run on moral and honest lines. He ought to remember that the pri mary law expressly recognise parties and says that no independent or non partisan candidate shall be .permitted to use any word of the name of any existing political party or organization in his candidacy. "Now he. and others of the so-called new party propose that all Republicans nominated as such who will support the Bull Moose movement shall be sup ported by his party. He is going to find out how the candidates stand se cretly and pass the word down the line. That is, he will encourage any candidate to bear false witness on the ballot before the voters of Oregon. Political Honesty at Stake. "It Is presumed that when the crowd at Chicago repeated the Lord's Prayer Jt did not omit "Lead us not Into temp tation but deliver us from evlL' If a man received a nomination in the first place lawfully and then keeps It after he no longer has a right to it. then he la guilty of political larceny acting as a trustee of that trust. "Mr. Ackerson says he knows per sonally of some candidates who are with his party. Is It possible that where the great prophet has failed to capture the Republican organization In a state his followers there will carry on a guerrilla warfare and snipe-shoot as many candidates aa they can? This is not honest party management or honest for candidates. "The alienists say there are more persons suffering with nervous trou bles outside than inside the asylums. It la Indeed a sorrowful spectacle to see for the first tlmo in our history an ex President leading a crowd of nervous people and many who. are In the game for profit alone. The County Central Committee believes that all good citi zens In the Republican party are in favor of a sane and righteous progress which will not disturb every business and social relation. The committee knows that the great majority want this and the committee Intends to carry on a vigorous cam paign on that Una. The matter is a serious one for every working man and every man with much or little capital. The simple question is, do we want his country run by a lot of cranks and camp followers out for the graft or by men who have and will use sober and sane Judgment In managing our affairs. Before the ides of November many will recover from their mental disorder especially those who fall to get Bull Moose nominations, as likewise their friends. Selling Attitude Favored. "The committee notes with pleasure that Mr. Selling believes In this kind of sane progress. He Informed the chairman that he desired to win his election fairly and honestly or not at alL The' committee will give him hearty suport. The publlo may rest assured that this committee will not inject any re ligious hypocrisy Into its campaign. "Mr Ackerson says his party wants a progressive ticket from President to Constable. He says their idea Is to win the election. There you have the policy of this Bull Moose party as out lined by one who ought to know. "It would seem that If the great prophet of the Bull, Moose should die rT.orxow this country would sink Into oblivion like the lost Atlantis. Re publicans believe the country can ex 1st without the prophet. MCLKEY TO OPEX CAMPAIGN Progressive Candidate for Senator Will Speak at Forest Grove. Frederick W.

Prettvman's version of the trouble between Dr. Marie juqui ana himself in the Medical building on tne night of May 16, which led to his in dictment on a charge of assault ana battery, and the starting by Dr. Equl of suit to recover 130.000 special, gen eral and Tunltlve damages from the Pacific Trust Company, which owns tne building, is contained in the answer of the trust company filed In Circuit Court vesterdav. Dr. Equl. it Is stated, naa rauea ior several months previous to May to pay the agreed rental jot rooms Vli-ii oi the building, whloh she was occupying, and had been ordered to vacate May 1.

On the night of the row witn pretty- man, who is superintendent oi iuo building. Dr. Equl, it Is alleged, came Into the building with "another re- male" and threw eggs about the floors. Another charge Is that she rang the elevator bell repeatedly ana persist ently, and leered In the face of the operator when he responded.

LEASE OF BRIDGE FINALLY AGGEPTED Councilmen Pass Emergency Clause After Agreement Seems Hopeless.- VIADUCT IS IN USE TODAY Amendment Is Adopted Providing That City Does Not Forfeit Its Right to Collect for Priv ilege Given Builders. After two hours of heated arguments the City Council at a special session yesterday morning passed, ordinances which will- make possible the opening today of the upper deck of the new Harrlroan bridge for team, automobile and pedestrian traffic. At the eleventh hour the city secured a temporary lease on the entire upper deck of the bridge and granted the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany revocable permits, which will make possible the use of the bridge for streetcars as soon as tracks can be laid. . The terms of the permits were at first considered toe stringent for the company to accept and announcement that they , would be rejected was made to the Council. Later at a conference with "Mayor Rushlight and others President Josselyn of the company an nounced his willingness to accept and said the work of tracklaylng will be begun at once. The settlement of the bridge problem came at a point in the Council proceed ings when it seemed that all hope of an adjustment had passed. A vote had been taken and the ' pur pose of the bridge rental ordinance had been defeated because there were too few Councilmen In favor to make the emergency clause applicable so that the ordinance-could be made effective as soon as signed by the Mayor. Three Councilmen, who had voted against the measure, swltohed, after voting, so that It was passed with the emergency clause attached. Under the terms of the ordinance the city secures control of the entire upper deck of the bridge, reserving to itself the right to sublease to the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company at a rental of $1500 a month for the opera tion of streetcars over the bridge and the approaches. The city will pay at the rate of 5 per cent a year on the cost of the upper span, based on the re port or cost compiled by Engineer Ralph Modjeski, representing the city, and other bridge engineers representing the o.-w. R. & N. Co., owner of the bridge. The streetcar company was granted 90-day permit to operate cars over the approaches and over the bridge at a rental of 118,000 a year, or 1500 a month. The temporary arrangement be tween the city and the O.-W. R. & N. Company will be in force only during the six weeks or two months which will be required by the engineers to make their estimates of cost, after which the agreement will automatically expire and the bridge be closed to traf flc unless a permanent lease is secured by the city. Opinions Vary ia Dlaeaalon. Before the question came up for vote there was a general fuss on various phases of the subject, in which every member of the Council and a number of outsiders took part. The first trouble arose when Coun cilman Jennings interposed an amend ment to the rental ordinance which. In effect, provided for the payment by the O.-W. R, & N. Company of 1 per cent of the bridge cost to the city for the right of the company to maintain the bridge. This brought up the question of who has the right to grant bridge- bulldlng privileges. Councilmen Jen nlngs and Magulre contended that the right rests with the city, while City Attorney Grant contended that the Su preme Court has ruled that all the rights necessary can be secured from the Port of Portland and Congress, as was done In this case. Councilman Ma gulre contended that the company has paid nothing for the privilege of build ing and using the bridge, and that he considered 1 per cent a fair price. This he said, would reduce the annual rental of the bridge to the city to A per cent of the cost. Councilman Burgard con tended that the city under the present agreement will have to pay but 8 per cent of the bridge cost, the streetcar company paying the balance. . He said that any attempt on the part or tne city to require the payment by the com pany of a fee for .the bridge privilege would cause litigation which would de feat the present emergency. Daly Amendment Carries, Councilman Daly then Interposed an amendment to the ordinance providing against the possibility of the city for feiting any of Its rights to collect for the bridge privilege under the terms of the temporary arrangement. The Jen nings resolution was defeated and the Daly amendment adopted. After much bickering on this and other subjects the ordinance came to a vote In its new form, carrying the tem porary bridge rental plan and the Daly amendment. Councilmen Clyde. Jen nings and Magulre voted against It, while the other nine members of the Council present voted In favor of it. This vote, although favorable to the or dinance, defeated Its purpose, because there were not sufficient votes to carry the emergency clause which was neces sary to make the bridge opening possi ble at once. Councilman Magulre, following an appeal for fairness by Councilman Daly, arose and declared his unwilling ness to take the role of an obstruction ist, and he changed his vote. Similar action was later taken-by Jennings and Clyde, which gave the 12 votes neces sary to pass the emergency. This com pleted the bridge-opening question. Then came the question or allowing the streetcar company to operate cars over the bridge. A proposed revocable permit was Introduced covering the east approach on Adams street from Holladay street to the approach. No sooner had the permit been read than there was an objection' to Its passage without a time limitation. Councilman Clyde Insisted on the automatic expira tion of the permit in two months. Ma autre Is Dissenter. This led to arguments pro and con and finally resulted in the time being extended to 90 days. This means that the streetcar company will be required to lay its tracks over Adams street. Dav Daving costs and make Improve ments to the extent of probably $10,000 for the privilege of operating cars over the street for 90 days. At the end of that time it will be necessary for the company to secure a franchise or a new permit. Councilman Magulre lurtner Insisted on a valuation being placed on the permit, declaring that the company hould pay at least szsu a montn ior the use of the street. He later reduced the amount to $100 a month. This led to heated arguments which terminated with the declaration by J. E. Werleln, representing the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, that -he did not believe the company would accept the proposed permit with the 80 days limitation, not to mention the $100 a month street rental. After further argument Councilman Magulre objected to the passage of in permit ordinance. This legally disposed of the permit. Later, after it became apparent that hope for car service over the bridge had passed, councilman jua guire withdrew his objection and the permit ordinance was passed by unam mous vote. The emergency clause was attached. At the outset the company was un willing to accept the Adams-street per mlt. Late yesterday afternoon the company changed its""attitude at conference held at the office of Presl dent Josselyn In the Electric build ing, which was attended by Mayor Rushlight and City Engineer Hurlburt reDresentlng J.he city and Presiden Josselyn and Vice-President Fuller representing the company. At this conference President Josselyn an nounced that his company would pro ceed to put Its tracks down upon the street under the revocable permit with the understanding that the Mayor would use his good offices In getting the 90-dav limit eliminated by the Council. It was agreed also that the railway company will pay to the city $1500 a month rent for crossing the upper deck of the bridge from the day upon which operation of cars Is commenced as long as the revocable permit or new fran chise permits until such time as the charter amendment proposed by the Mayor making a 3 cent per car rate on all bridges In the city Is passed upon. Another ordinance with the emergency was passed providing for the payment of salaries of gatekeepers and bridge tenders for the new bridge and alsi for navment of the rental during the run of the temporary lease. A sum of $8.5 was appropriated from the general fund for this purpose. STONE STORY UNTRUE VArDEVILXISTS NOT IX FATAL AVTO WRECK HERE.

Lynch Shows Portland Rail road Engineers New Models. John A. Lynch, Inventor and patentee Of the new tubular architrave bridge, who Is preparing; a practical test of the new design which will attract a number of engineers to the Northwest In the near future. Is in Portland for a few days conferring with engineers of the various railroads in Portland. Mr. Lynch Is spending several thousand dollars at Spokane, where he is erect lng two full-size spans of the new bridge, which is to be demolished if possible under great stress. As there has never been a practical test for the making of a formula on the bridge, many engineers and scientific mathe maticians are planning to witness the attempted destruction. Mr. Lynch asserts his design will give a bridge made from concrete Just four times the strength of any other bridge now known. His patent Is the result of three years of work. Besides being stronger, Mr. Lynch declares the idea will cost less than one-third that of other concrete bridges on the existing designs. C. P. Bohland. bridge engineer of the Great Northern, experts for the O.-W. R. & N. and others, have Investigated the design and will witness the test this Fall In Spokane. The bridge Is a combination of canti lever and arch and from a scientific viewpoint. If the test Is successful, may revolutionize modern concrete bridge building, says Mr. Lynch. Mr. Lynch is at the Portland Hotel for a few days exhibiting his demon stration models to local engineers. Several conferences have been held with O.-W. R. & N. men with the in tention of interesting them In the new type, which may be taken up as an ex periment on some of the new construc tion and extension wora oi mat ruau.

"JOYRIDERS" UNDER BAN Vagrancy Statute to Be Enforced to Letteir Midnight Is Closing Hour on Saturday In Future. Rigid Order Issued. DAY'S DEVELOPMENTS IN WAR ON DISORDERLY ROAD- ' HOUSES. Two rioters at The Hut Friday morning get Jail sentences. Sheriff Stevens serves notice , on taverns that they must close promptly at 1 o'clock dally and at midnight Saturdays. Vagrancy statute will be enforced against persons found on the roads after reasonable hours. Nulaanse act will be used against contumacious keepers of roadhousea. Special attention to be given to motorcycle riders who carry young girls Into the country after night. Sheriff will ask police to arrest all Joyriders for being out. after hours when found on streets coming from roadhousea Enforcement of the vagrancy stat ute, carrying a penalty of six months in Jail, against persons found on 'the roads after 1 o clock in the morning, and prosecutions under the nuisance statute for keepers of disorderly road- houses, were the war measures an nounced yesterday by Sheriff Stevens when he heard of a riot which occurred early yesterday morning at the noto rious Hut tavern on the Llnnton road. Deputy Sheriff Bulger in an automo bile spent half of last night carrying the ultimatum to the roadhousea. "I was in Tacoma when I heard of this thing," said the Sheriff. "It made me so mad that I couldn't get here quick enough and I have been getting madder ever since. Sheriff Issues Ultimatum. "I have tried tef1 be reasonable with these places, but they don't appreciate It. It Isn't safe for decent people to go near their places at night, and de cent people don't do it. I shall enforce the statutes rigidly as indicated, and shall write to Chief Slover in the morning asking blm to aid us by arresting for being out after hours the Joyriders coming from the roadhouses to the city. If people want to ride in automobiles after l o clock they will do it at their peril." To Deputy Bulger, the Sheriff said You will make the rounds of these places and tell them that if they are open one minute after 1 o'clock we will arrest them under the general nuisance act. If there is any disorder before A. M. we will slap locks on their doors and let them fight It out. If they try to tell you that there is no law for it, you Invite them tp try It and see. On Saturday night the hour will be 12 o'clock, as now. Tell the Holly Lodge, Seven-mile House and Twelve-mile House that we don't recognise their right to sell liquor at all, even If they have club licenses. Tell them that If there Is any dancing we will arrest those present as common nuisances. Stevens Wants New Law. "As soon as the Legislature meets," continued the Sheriff, "I am going to Salem and leg my best for a law that will put these hell-holes completely out of business. Everyone knows that I am no Sunday school person, but I won't stand for such rottenness as this." The vagrancy law, passed largely through the efforts of Sheriff Stevens, appears to cover the case. It provides that, any person shall be deemed a vagrant who wanders the streets or highways at late or unusual hours of the night, or who engages in riotous or disorderly conduct, or uses profane or abusive language. "And It applies as well to motorcy cle riders with a 'chicken' on the back seat," added Sheriff Stevens. Bennle Newman, Dan Black and Lee Nichols, publlo chauffeurs, are being held in the County Jail under $500 cash ball each as vagrants,; Senaca Fouts, late aspirant for the. Republican nom ination for District Attorney, is nurs- ng a sore neck; Homer Reed, another chauffeur, is held in the County Jail aa a witness, and Lloyd Murray, Bob Mad ison and C. Ulrlch, the last-named also an automobile driver, are exhibiting various and sundry scars as a result of free-for-all fight which took place at the Hut early yesterday morning. Police Captain Keller and four pa trolmen accompanied Deputy Sheriff Bulger to the scene of the brawl, but Newman and his associates had gone. They were arrested shortly afterwards n a downtown restaurant. Murray, Madison and Ulrlch are said to be the victims, Newman, Black and Nichols the aggressors, with Fouts a would-be peacemaker. W. S. Swag gert and two bartenders are also said to have endeavored to terminate the trouble. In Justice Bell's court yesterday. Lee Nichols and Dan Black pleaded guilty and were sentenced to a fine of $50 and Imprisonment for 30 days. Benny New man, who was arrested a year, ago for a similar offense, when he was charged with having struck matches to see to black a woman's eyes, entered a plea of not guilty and demanded a Jury trial. He will be tried next Wednesday. WOMAN JUMPS TO DEATH Aged Patient, Crazed by Illness, Leaps From Hospital Window. VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 9. (Spe cial.)

Members of the medical profession In the city are strongly of the opinion that Portland should be represented at the Fifteenth International Congress .on Hygiene and Demography, which Is to be held in Washington, septemDer a 28. An invitation, made in the name of the President was sent to the Mayor some time ago, but so far no decision has been reached. "This congress," said a prominent physician yesterday, "has never met be fore in the United States, nor will it meet here again for 30 years. As far as real benefits to the country are con cerned, little good would be accom plished without representatives from all the large cities in every state. These delegates could bring hack much val uable information, and discussions, as to the healthiness of various localities, would be bound to result. In such case, for Portland, with the lowest death rate, and its Ideal climatic conditions, not to be represented would be little short of foolishness. Compared with the benefits to be derived, the expense of sending a delegate would be trivial. "Were It possible to take a vote of citizens on the matter. I think without doubt the large majority would be In favor of sending a representative, bo- cause public health work is now con sidered with the utmost Importance. In a letter to Dr. C. H. Wheeler, city health officer, the assistant secretary general. Selskar M. Gunn, urges that Portland be represented, adding tnat In his opinion, and Judging by the num ber of cities that have already decided to send representatives, the city which does not will be an exception. 01 GARS M Jffl HOURLY SERVICE, 12:30 TO 6 A. M., URGED IX ORDIN'AXCE. Failure of Street Railway Company to Keep Promise Given as Cause for Councilman's Request. As a result of the failure of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany to carry out Its agreement to op erate late cars to various parts of the city, steps were taken yesterday by the street committee of the City Council to require an owl service on various lines from 12:30 A. M. to 6 A. M. daily. A proposed ordinance to this effect was adopted by the street committee and will go to the Council for passage at its next session. The proposed ordinance was introduced in the committee meeting by Council man Monks, who was the main backer of the original owl car ordinance, which was pigeonholed several months ago, when the company agreed to oper ate cars on all lines as late as 1:30 A. M and as early as 6 A. M. Coun cilman Monks declared that the prom ise has not been kept. "The company started out with its late cars as promised," said Council man Monks yesterday, "but the service has gradually dropped off until now comparatively few cars are operated on the late schedule. I have had all kinds of complaints on this subject and believe that It is time to require the com pany to give an hourly service all night. It Is done in other cities and there is no reason why It should not be here." There was no apparent objection to the measure by members of the com mittee and it was recommended for passage by unanimous vote. The pro posed measure, if passed by the Coun cil, will require the hourly cars '-n the following lines: Fulton-cemeteries, North and South Portland. Morrison street, Jefferson street, Portland Heights, Washington street. Russell and Shaver, Mount Tabor, Hakthorne avenue, Sellwood, Wood stock, Waverly-Richmond, East An keny, Rose City Park.

Because the plaintiff's attorney, W. M. La Force, could not set up that his client had not entered into the con tract "with his eyes open," as the Judge expressed It, Circuit Judge Mc Ginn yesterday morning sustained a demurrer to the complaint in the case of J. W. Sloan against Leila Sloan, an action for 'annulment of a marriage en tered Into at Vancouver, Wash., No vember 9, 1910. The ground of com plaint was that Mrs. Sloan was divorced from Benham Diets September 3, 1910, and that six months had not elapsed before her remarriage. Attorney Hammersly, representing the woman, demurred on two grounds. He contended, first, that Sloan was not entitled to equitable relief of the kind demanded, for the reason that he know all about the divorce when he entered Into the marriage contract, and, sec ond, that Judge Bean, of the Oregon Supreme Court, held, in a decision handed down in August, 1911, that the object of the law requiring that re marriage of a party to a divorce shall not occur within six mqnths Is to guard the right of appeal only, and that it does not apply to default cases where in no right of appeal exists. Mrs. ietz secured her divorce by default. . "If your client can set up here that he was not aware of this divorce and the fact that Mrs. Diets was remarry ing within six months, he may have When the blood becomes infected with any tinhealthy humor the ef fect Is shown by boils, pimples, and rashes or eruptions on the skin.
