DEMOCRATS MUST
HIE GQ0D"-LANE
Oregon's Senator-elect Says
Party Has Difficult Task
When in Power.
NEW CONDITIONS DESIRED
Speaker at Jackson Club Asserts
That Few Men Control Wealth
of Country and Says That
Change Is Demanded.
"Democrats must make good -was
the keynote of an address delivered
last night before the Jackson Club
by Dr. Harry Lane. United States Sen
ator-elect. In his remarks he re
minded his Democratic auditors that
the perpetuity of the Democratic party
as a political organization depended en
tlrely on the delivery by that party of
Its platform pledges, which content
plated a changed order of things, par
ticularly with reference to the cona
tions under which the masses lived.
"There Is no higher type of citizen
shin than that taught in the Demo
cratlc party." said Dr. Lane. "It Is
the same doctrine that was taught
by Jesus of Nazareth. It makes for
happiness and prosperity. ro political
, party deserves to succeed: no nation
deserves to exist that falls to carry
out that doctrine.
Difficulty Is Foresee.
It Is necessary that the Democratic
party make good. The affairs of our
Government today are not carried on
In the Interest of the masses. I re
alize that It is a difficult job we are
assuming. Our mission Is not dissimi
lar from tackling a leaky vessel. It
is hard to accomplish what Is ex
pected of the successor of the dominant
party. Yet It can be accomplished If
the principles of the Democratic party
are adhered to."
Here Dr. Lane digressed from bis
subject to allege that a few men con
trolled the wealth of the country and
that stock In the average corporation
consisted largely of the watered
quality, conditions which, he said,
popular demand required should be
changed.
"When I go to Washington as your
Senator." continued Dr. Lane, "I ex
pect the support not only of every
Democrat, but of every citizen In my
Arm resolution to obtain for the com
mon people their Just and appropriate
deserts. With that co-operation, only,
can I expect to gain definite results
for the common people. I shall go to
Washington resolved to give the people
the best that is in me. If I succeed
in my mission, I must have the hearty
support and co-operation of my con
stituents." Gift Is Presented.
Amplifying the argument presented
by the United States Senator-elect.
Colonel R- A. Miller, declared the cry
of the "down-trodden and oppressed
must be heeded." He maintained that
.the Democratic principle of "equal and
exact justice to all and special privi
leges to none" necessarily should be
observed by the party in working out
the policies of the Administration
tinder the direction of President-elect
Wilson.
Concluding his remarks. Colonel
Miller eloquently presented to George
I. Smith, retiring president of the club,
beautiful watch charm, the, gift of
the organization. Mr. Smith made an
appropriate acknowledgment.
The speechmaklng was preceded by
the Installation of the following newly
elected officers: John H. Stevenson,
president; E. Versteeg, first vice
president; J.' W. McGinn, second vice
president: Fred J. Phelan, secretary:
Adolph H. Harms, treasurer; Bert E.
Haney, H. B. Van Duzer. G. W. Allen,
George L Smith, James B. Carr and
W. S. Snyder, executive committee.
Before the meeting adjourned Sena-tor-elecf
Lane explained that he would
not be able to attend the annual ban
quet of the Jackson Club, scheduled for
the Commercial Club January 8, having
accepted a similar Invitation to attend
a dinner as the guest of Seattle Demo
crats on the same anniversary.

MAYOR AIDSHUNGRY MEN
Executive Acts In Effort to Get
Money Due Laborers.
Appeals from the hungry yesterday
overcame the customary slowness of
the wheels of Justice when 100 laborers
appeared before Mayor Rushlight and
asked that they be paid for services
performed for the defunct contracting
firm of Hllllard & Maglnnis on the
Canyon P.oad sewer extension. The
men complained that since the cas has
been thrown into the bankruptcy
courts they have been unable to secure
any money and In consequence are
destitute.
Mayor Rushlight after investigation
of the circumstances called upon the
local representatives of the Maryland
Casualty Company, which concern fur
nished the bond on the Canyon Road
sewer, and demanded that the company
pay the men at once. It was explained
that the matter was in tne courts ana
it would take six months to settle It
so that wages could be paid to the men
Several of the workmen told pitiful
stories of not having had anything to
eat for days while others complained of
having- families In destitute circum
stances. "We can't get work and we
can't get our pay, said one man,
"What do you want us to do; steal?"
The Mayor, touched by the appeals,
declared that he would give the bond

CHARGE PROVES FALSE
JOHN Ii. MOORE NOT SLATER,
AS COXVICTS ALLEGE,
One of Accusers Is Sent Back to In
diana Penitentiary and Other to
Linn ton KockpUc.
Freed from a murder charge trumped
up in revenge by an ex-convict on
whom he had Informed, John L. Moore,
a former railroad detective, is coming
back to Portland and will arrive a few
days after one of his accusers is re
lodged at the Linnton rockpile and the
other is landed in Michigan City, Ind.,
to serve the remainder of a nine-year
term In the Indiana penitentiary for
robbery. Incidentally, to Police De
tectives Coleman and Snow, of the
Portland department, was given the
credit for detecting the plot by which
Moore was to have been "jobbed" into
a conviction of murder and sentenced
for the killing of J, M. Ballard, a
brakeman on the Great Northern, who
met death June 18. near Missoula.
Mont., because he Informed on Burns.
The story of the arrest, trial and ac
quittal of Moore reads like a detective
story of the vintage of 1884. Moore
knew that Ed Burns, alias George
Clifton, alias Evans, an ex-convict and
parole-breaker from the Indiana pen
itentiary, was In Portland. On the
theory that Burns was better in jail
than out, the detectives arrested Burns
and telegraphed to Michigan City for
instructions. Burns, Immediately be
lieving that Moore bad been the source
of the detectives' Information, told
Acting Chief Slover that Moore was the
murderer of Ballard, who was slain on
a coal gondola near Missoula by a
"hobo." The circumstantial story
catfsed the arrest of Moore and his re
turn to Missoula to face the charge.
Burns said that Fred Goldenberg, a
Portland "dope fiend." had heard Moore
boasting of the crime and Slover al
lowed the request of the Montana au
thorities to have Goldenberg sent to
Missoula for Moore's trial.
Wher the stories of the two and the
testimony of railroad detectives were
compared. It was shown that Burns
knew nothing of the case, although he
had testified he was present at the
killing. The case was dismissed.
Burns was sent to Michigan City to
serve out the rest of his term. Golden
berg was returned yesterday to Port
land by Deputy Sheriff Kelly, of Mis
soula. County. Montana.

prominence In official, political and
business circles became Involved In the
charges made.
Upon Wappensteln's conviction ev
ery effort was made to secure execu
tive) clemency for mm, and it was ru
mored that he would never enter the
Penitentiary, but Governor Hay then
declined favorable action and now re
jects the formal application of Wap
pensteln for a pardon, accompanied by
petitions bearing the signatures of
many people of prominence In Seattle
and elsewhere In the state.

TRACK LEASE IS AIM
Milwaukee to Arrange With
O.-W. R. & N. Company.
TERMINAL OPTIONS HELD
Proposed Plan by Which New Road
Will Come Into Portland Will
Be Beneficial to Both of
Railways, Is Declared.
It Is evident on the face of develop
ments In connection with the recent
merger of the two units of the Milwau
kee Railroad system that officials of the
road have not abandoned their inten
tion of obtaining terminals in Portland.
It la apparent, however, that a new
line will not be built Into the city, but
that a lease eventually will be signed
with the O.-W. R. & N. Co. for use of
the tracks between Portland and the
Snake River, to which point the Mil
waukee will build Its own line. As tne
Milwaukee Interests have options on
local terminal property, this arrange
ment, which would be desirable In every
way to the Harrlman line. Is considered
a probability of the near future.
Both Wonld Pro tit.
A traffic and operating agreement
letting the Milwaukee into Portland
over the O.-W. R. & N. Co.'s tracks
would be beneficial to both roads, as
only a part of their Eastern territory Is
competitive. No doubt they would have
an understanding about soliciting busi
ness in that competitive territory.
But the St. Paul territory and the
territory immediately west of there is
not now reached by the Harrlman lines,
but Is reached by the Milwaukee, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific This kind of an agreement
would let the Milwaukee compete in
Portland for business that the Harrl
man people can't get anyway, and that,
moreover, now Is going to the ancient
and relentless enemy of the Harriman
roads the Hill lines.
By letting the Milwaukee have a
chance at this business the O.-W. R. &
N. Co. not only would be striking a
blow at the Hill system, but would be
helping Itself to the revenue accruing
from the traffic handled by the Milwau
kee between Portland and the Shake
River.
Service Effective June 1.
Although no prejudice ever has exist
ed here against the Milwaukee by rea
son of the fact that It used the suffix
"Puget Sound" In the name of its
Western road, the Milwaukee officials
do not expect a full share of the local
business until they establish terminals
here.
The plan by which the Milwaukee
will run a through train between Port
land and St. Paul provides for the oper
ation of this train over the O.-W. R. &
N line bv the O.-W. R. & N. Co.'s oper
ating department The service will be
come effective June 1.

UNIVERSITY OP WASHINGTON, Se
attle, Dec. 20. (Special.) That ath
letes will be allowed to play Summer
baseball and still be eligible for all
branches of college sports except base
ball was decided today at the meeting
of the Northwest College Conference.
Hahn. of Whitman, and Roberts, of
Washington, held out against allowing
men who play baseball for money dur
ing the Summer to play college base
ball. The conference decided that May, the
Corvallis tackle, could not play with
the Multnomah Club team and, still
retain his amateur standing.
Twelve Credit Are Required.
Action was taken forcing Oregon
Agricultural College to live up to the
college entrance requirement rule for
athletes. No Oregon Agricultural Col

in college contests unless he has the 12
Carnegie credits required at other col
leges for entrance.

'"At a series of meetings which have
been of an executive nature the com
mittee has gone into the details of the
situation and has reached the conclu
sion that the principal trouble with the
service, and the trouble from which the
most complaints arise, Is the limited
number of cars during the rush hours.
"We have been working hard on the
proposition," said Chairman Joy yes
terday, "and have sifted the trouble
down to the lack of cars. There seems
to be but little complaint about too few
cars during the middle of the day, the
service on the majority of lines being
satisfactory at that time. Complaints
come from the crowded condition of the
