PARENTS WILL NOT ASSIST Sheriff Stevens Obtains Services of County Physician Geary to At tend to Youth Lying In jured at Hospital. ST. JOHNS ASKS CARRIERS J-uhurb Likely Will Become a Sub- Station of Portland Postoffice. ' That St. Johns probably will become a sub-postofftce station of Portland now seems assured, at the request of the citizens of that thriving suburb. Under the rules of the Postoffice De partment, a carrier service cannot be installed unless an office has gross receipts of $10,000 and which St. Johns has not, but a request was made to have it made a part of the carrier sys tem of Portland, with the result that a special inspector has been appointed to investigate the matter. ' The principal matter In this invest! cation is the character of streets on whioji the carriers will have to.travel over and. as this is known to be sat isfactory, there will be a carrier service in St. Johns within a few months. .Many Campers Visit Florence. FLORENCE. Or Aug. 27. (Special.) Parties of campers arrive here daily to visit the lighthouse at Cape Heceta, Tsiltcoos Lake and other points of In terest. Among arrivals this past week have been Senator and Mrs. R. A. Booth and daughter, of Eugene, who own an Interest in a large island on Tsiltcoos Lake, and are here to inquire into the possibilities of developing their prop erty. Mrs. Llschen Miller, the author and poetess, is spending a few weeks at the Summer home of her sister, Mrs. Idaho Campbell, near Heceta. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Wllkins, of Eugene, have just returned home after camping on property owned by them on the shore of Whoahink Lake. Many walking par ties are this year enjoying the hike from Eugene to Newport via Florence. 123 Candidates in Franklin. PASCO. Wash., Aug. 27. (Special.) As provided by law. notice of the com ing primary election are being posted in Franklin County. The notices bear the names of 123 candidates for nomina tion. There are. Including those run ning In this but no other county, 64 Republicans. 46 Democrats and 13 So cialists. Exclusive of the legislative offices, there are 33 candidates in this county, 22 of whom are Republicans and 11 Democrats. A feature of the ballot is the names of seven women seeking public office, three of whom are on the Socialist ticket. Judge O. R. Holcomb is the only one seeking office on a nonpartisan ticket. Democrats Will . Be Heard. The Progressive Democratic Club has decided to hold an outdoor meeting at Seventh and Washington streets at 8 P. M. on Labor day, Monday, Septem .ber 2. This will be the first of a se ries of open-air meetings that will be held under the auspices' of this or ganization during the campaign and an effort will be made to secure for this occasion the very best available speak ers within the Democratic ranks. Laconic to a degree were the answers given by Thomas King, the 17-year-old leader in the remarkable series of au tomobile thefts for the purpose of Joy riding late at night, .when asked for etalls on the last trip, which ended in the wrecking of a new car beyond Gresham late Saturday night. King was resting easily at the Good Samaritan Hospital, awaiting an X-ray examination of his thigh, to discover whether the bone was fractured. As his parents are unwilling to render any assistance, through Sheriff Stevens, who told County Judge Cleeton of the boy s destitute condition. County Phy sician Geary's services were obtained for the youth. lad Telia Story. When told that the whole story was cut and that his brother, Mark, and Edward McGinty were held In the County- Jail, charged with the theft of various automobiles, Tom King re marked: " ell, I guess the papers may as well have It right as get it all balled up. "For one thing they've got our ages wrong. I see in one paper they put me down as 18. my brother 20 and Mac as 22. I'm only 17, my brother is two years older and Mao Is my age. An other thing. 1 don't see why they've got Mark in this at all. He didn't go wjth us, he never has been with us and he's never had anything to do with It." Questioned as to the cries of woman, which a girl nearby said she had heard. King remarked that it was ridiculous. "Why, that girl said she heard i scream at 4 A. M. The accident hap pcneO. at midnight and if there'd been any scream It would have come just after the accident. Theft of Seven Cars Denied. "We never took a girl along with us. It's one thing to risk our own necks, but it's another to risk that of a. girl. T"u see we only went for the purpose of pace. As soon as we got on Division street we let the car out all she would go, and that's the way we always did. But. by the way, here's one thing that's wrong. I never took seven cars. All that we had a hand In were Ave." - . "When did you first commence tak ing the cars?" "Let me see. so that I can get it right. Tea. The first one was during El its' week." , "Did you intend to return them close to where you found them?" "I guess so. in most cases. Not the first time, thoughT for the car went back on us on the Cast Side and we left her there." ' "Where did you take the cars from?" "Throe from- the Arlington Club, one from the Heillg Theater and the other last Saturday from the Multnomah Ho tel. We left them not so far from where we took them." Responsibility Is Assumed. King admitted he was the leading spirit in the adventures and that he aid the driving except when he let one or other take a short turn at handling the wheel. . When askod whether he realized how lucky he was to have escaped, his re ply was, "I guess I know that as well as anybody. The only thing I can't, understand is how I dislocated my leg." Up to a late hour last night Darrow W. Walker, the other occupant of the abroad and T will be away much of the time," said Mr. Wilson today." It Is stated on good authority that the Seattle politician and publisher has so arranged his affairs that he will have a fixed monthly Income and that all profits In excess of this amount are to go to certain of his employes. Alany of the older men In his newspaper are to be taken into' the company, ac cording to report. Mr. Wilson took the trip to Spokane, it Is said, merely to bid farewell to his old-time personal and political friends here. CHEHALIS T0BE IN LINE Citizens' Club Will Send Delegation to South Bend Meeting. CHEHALIS. Wash.. Aug. 27. (Spe cial.) The Chehalis Citizens' Club met last night and closed plans for a large delegation from this city to attend the meeting of the Southwest Washington Development Association, to be held at South Bend the end of the week. There was considerable enthusiasm and a goodly number have already promised to attend the meeting. Secretary Plues Is making a further . canvass today among the business and professional men. A resolution was also unanimously adopted asking the Lewis Count' Com missioners to arrange to build a bridge across the Cowlitz River in the neigh borhood of Riffe. Neslka or Kosmos. at the most advantageous point, in order to put the people of Eastern Lewis County into closer touch-with the peo ple of the business centers of the west end. The Citizens' Club has secured favorable consideration of this resolu tion by other commercial bodies "of the county and the residents of the eastern portion are especially enthusiastic over the prospect for a needed public 1m provemcnt such as is planned. car, had not been found. L LIVESTOCK IS FEATURED Polk County Fair to Make Sew Do parture in Coming Exhibit. DALLAS. Or., Aug. 27. (Special.) When the Polk County Harvest Festival was held last year, no effort was made to get exhibits other than of products of the soil. As a result, no livestock of any kind was on exhibition. However, this year a determined effort is being made to have a large eshlblt of live stock. To this end a committee con sisting of the leading farmers of all parts of the county has been appoint ed, with instructions to secure not only an agricultural exhibit, but also an .ex hibit of livestock of all kinds. Polk County is the home of nearly one-third of all the blooded livestock of the state, as well as of the leading Angora goats, and is recognized as the mohair center of the world. The showing of livestock at the fair to be held in this city on October 3, 4 and 5 promises to be excellent. The promoters of the Harvest Festi val and the School Children's Fair are anxious to have It made Into an annual county fair, supported and maintained by the county. As it is. the burden falls wholly upon the Dallas Commercial Club. KAISER TOO ILL FOR TRIP German Emperor May Have to Fore go Attendance at Berne. BERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 27. The German Emperor probably will be un able to attend the Swiss army maneu vers In September, owing to his Illness. according to an official communication made public through the German lega tion, which was addressed to the Swiss federal council. BERLIN. Aug. 27. The deep regret of the Swiss federal council in connec tion with Emperor William's illness was expressed today by the Swiss lega tion here to the German government. At the Swiss legation it was said later In the day that the Emperor was expected to go to Switzerland but that his programme would be restricted to participation in the maneuvers and a state visit to Berne. President of Xational Body in An nual Address' Says Charges in Han ford Case Seem to Him in Most Part Trivial. MILWAUKEE. Aug. 27. Fifty-four lawyers, with at least one from each state, completed today for presentation In the American Bar Association a re port denouncing as "dangerous to the country" ail movements for the recall of Judges or of Judicial decisions. The report cites that In Ohio the con stitutinnal convention declined to apply the principle of recall to the judges, but provided that laws should be passed for the prompt removal on complaint and hearing of judges for any miscon duct Involving moral turpitude. This, the report points out, substantially is the system used in Massachusetts, New- York and other slates, while besides California and Oregon, where the ju dlclal recall exists, the other states which have taken action looking to the recall are Arizona, Colorado. Nevada and North Dakota. In the latter states. the report asserts, the bar associations have started vigorous campaigns to Induce the people not to support the recall. It is pointed out that many state bar associations have formally denounced the recall. Defects Are Rerognlied Those who signed the report include Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota: W 11 Ham B. Hornblower. of New York, and Frank E. Gova, of Colorado, while Jacob M. Dickinson, ex-Secretary of War, is named as one of those who originated the commlteee to expose the fallacy of Judicial recall." We recognize that there are delects in the administration of Justice," says the committee's report, "as there are In all branches of government which are of necessity subject to the limita tions of human Infirmity. Those de fects which have called for teforms consist principally of delays and ex pense Incident to trials in the Federal and manv of the state courts. These defects. It Is the duty or an lawvers to use their Influence to re edy. The Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States have taken steps to reform the rules of practice in th Federal courts, and have called upon the bar of the country for suggestions. Without exception the committees of the bar throughout the country have recommended the simplification of prac tice so as to expedite business and save expense to litigants. Laws, Not Judges, to Blame, Declaring laws rather than judges responsible for delays and expense of nrnradure. the reoort continues. We maintain that tne recall appneu to indires will tend to deprive the pub lic of Judges of ability, character, high sense of dutv and a due regara to en lichtnnori nubile sentiment, and that such a Judiciary is absolutely necessary to the existence of a constitutional democracy. "The application of the recall to an ordinary official may be a question of expediency, but it Is not runctameniaiiy wrong. To apply it to the Judiciary is in violation of those principles of gov ernment which ages of experience have demonstrated to be wise. In tne states and in the Federal Government we have the right of Impeachment and in several of the states the right or re moval of a Judge by the Legislature. If the right of impeachment is not suf ficient, an adequate remedy can be cre ated for the removal for conduct incon sistent with his office, after complaint and opportunity to be heard In his de fense. In this way the Independence nf the ludlciarv is maintained and a judge is removed simply for incapacity or misconduct m office. Hanford Case Called Trivial S: S. Gregory, of Chicago, president of the association, in his annual ad dress said: We seem to have reached a time when the very constitution and frame of our government is under critical ex amlnatlon. The necessity for those safeguards in administration which have been deemed essential to the se curity of rights to life, to liberty and to propeity, is called into question. The progressive tide, stayed Dy constitu tional barriers, threatens now to sweep them all away As to Judge Hanford, having read such of the evidence as had been print ed in the newspapers. I venture to ex press the opinion that the matter sought to be proved seems for the most part to have been trivial and railing far short of such high crimes and mis demeanors as would warrant impeach ment of a Federal Judge. "It certainly seems as If women were entitled to self-government as well as men."
