POWER GIVEN COMMITTEE Nominations to Be ' Made Only ' In Event Other Candidates Cannot Be Supported Electors Put. In Field. MILWAUKEE, Sept 11. Fear of a clash with United States Senator La Follette blocked the naming of a full state Roosevelt Progressive ticket , by the state convention here today. After deliberating until tonight, the committee on nominations decided to delay acjClon. The convention directed the state committee to meet not later than September 24 and if In the Judg ment of that committee there la then no state ticket in the. field which the Roosevelt Progressive party can sup port the committee is directed to make nominations. The convention nominated Presiden tial electors and Instructed the state committee that every state candidate" named or indorsed by the Roosevelt Progressives must support the Roose velt Progressive National ticket The session was addressed by Gov ernor Johnson of California and United States Senator Poindexter of Washing ton.

Re-Popuhvtlon of State) With- Game, Planned on Extensive Scale, Is -Being Carried Out. If there are any people who believe that the City of Portland, with all its business and bustle, has lost all rem nant of the- natural charm that reigns supreme on the hill and In the vale of the removed country precincts,' let them hear of an incident which took place Tuesday in the very shadow of the Portland scyscrapers. The discovery of a native pheasant lying dead In the front yard of Dr. Lloyd Harrison's residence, at 366 Har rison street led to a critical investiga tion of the death and the resultant verdict that, it collided with a tele graph wire and met Its end by the force of its impact with the wire. Marks on the neck-of the pheasant es tablishes this fact beyond all reasona ble doubt. As a matter of fact several varieties of pheasants abound in and about Port land. The family bands are especially numerous in the Ladd's Addition tract, in Sullivan's Gulch, In the Irvington district in the edge of North Portland, on Portland Heights and in Sellwood. In any of these residence districts semi tame pheasants may be found almost any day, according to the advices received in the offices of William P. Flnley, State Game and Fish Warden, in the Yeon building. Most of these flocks are of the- famous China pheasant breed. Although many have complained, of the scarcity, of the pheasant in Oregon in late years, the fact remains that they are living in great numbers in the Willamette Valley. Not satisfied with this condition, the state game officials are endeavoring to populate the east ern and southern portions of the state, heretofore frequented but ilttle by the pheasant and to this end have estab lished many state game refuges in the eastern portions of Oregon. There are now game preserves In the South Elgin region. North Elgin region, one at the state experiment station at Union and three near Baker. The South Elgin preserve constitutes 4000 acres of land, where propagation of the spe cies is favored and no hunting is al lowed. These lands are voluntarily contrasted to the custody of the State Commission for terms of five or ten years. The Portland office last night shipped 17 crates of pheasants, six pairs arranged in each of the crates, to La Grande, to" generate on a pre serve recently established near that town. Shipments are also being made toarney County andx Klamath Coun ty. It is estimated that 1000 pairs will have been shipped by the game officials during the current year. This programme, coupled with the effect of the recent state law prohibiting the killing of pheasants for a two-year period, is expected to result in repopu lation of the original Denny pheasant and other favorite species. "Oregon has long been known to many Eastern people as a place abun dant with the China or Denny pheas ant" said Warden Flnley. "And it has been my aim to make the pheasant so common here that any inquisitive tourists cannot help seeing them as he passes through the state. I firmly believe that they will some day serve as a great advertisement of Oregon. Already they are an attraction." CARS CRASH, WOMAN HURT Rear-End Collision on Mount Hood Iine Injures Passenger.' In a rear end collision near Whitman Station, on the Mount Hood line of the Portland Railway, Light and , Power Company last night, an unidentified woman was slightly hurt. The accident occurred when the mo torraan of a car coming up failed to stop In time and ran into the rear of another car wnicn was standing su:i. The woman was bruised, but left the car before her name could be secured. EMERGEXCY VESSEL READY Three - Troopships at Fort Mason Hare Steam Up for Rush Trip. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.
