noil Scene of Noonday Excitement
Is Enacted When J. C. Lane. De
posed Foe, Appears at Mayor
Night Meeting. Asking Voice.
Mayor Huahllrht Injected excitement
Into a street meeting yesterday at noon
when he Interrupted J. C. Lane, an anti
charter speaker, at Fifth and Alder
streets, and called him a liar, with em
bellishments. Not until the Mayor had
..-a hi. Mntitv. which Lane saya
he was not aware of previously, did the
contention lose its militant aspect ana
become purely forensic.
At the conclusion of Mayor Rush
light's speech at Ford's Hall last night.
Lane arose In the front row and asked
perm'sslon to speak. Insisting that
May w Rushlijrht had told him that he
woul have the privilege.
The chairman. EL D. Curtis, ignored
him and proceeded to Introduce the
next speaker. Waldemar Beton. A
plaln-clothea man entered the hall at
this Juncture, ami. touching the would
be speaker on the arm. told him to
keep still. Lane left the hall, declar
ing that he had not expected the Mayor
to keep his word to allow him to speak.
A number of people went out with
h'ln the corridor of the hall, with the
door closed on the meeting, he Is re
ported to have said that In return for
having yielded his soapbox to Mayor
Rushlight on a downtown street the
Mayor had promised to let him speak
at the meeting.
Mayor Rushlight, privately ques
tioned about the matter on the plat
form while Lane was holding an acri
monious debate in the corridor with
Councilman George L. Baker, said that
he bad told Lane that he could have
the plattorm after the regular speakers
were through, and that the offer still
held good.
Three policemen, besides the plain
clothes man. were present. One of
them, a sergeant, was accused by Lane
of having been sent there to keep him
from speaking. This the sergeant de
nied. Lane, who says he is speaking
against the commission charter purely
from purposes of civic good, and who
stands dally in the business district
wearing an apron which announces his
opposition to the measure, was point
ing out to a crowd of listeners at noon
at Fifth and Alder his objections.
"Under this charter Mayor Rushllscht
If he succeeds himself In office, can
foist his Ross Island pet upon the tax
payers without submitting the ques
tion to the people," said Lane.
"You're a liar." came a voice from
the crowd, and a cltisen elbowed his
way to the front, repeating his accusa
tion. If you don't keep still, I'll call a
policeman and have you arrested." said
the speaker. "Who are you anyhow?"
"I'm the Mayor of this city," re
sponded the Interrupter.
"Well. If you are Mayor Rushlight.
I'll give up this box to you to state
your side, provided you wil agree to
give me time at your meeting tonight."
The Mayor ascended the box. but It
was apparent that his emotions ham
pered Ms expression. He confined him
self largely to an attack upon Lane
and his connections, asserting that he
was a hireling of the street railway
company and the paving trust. The
rrowd enjoyed the contention hugely
and gave laughing attention to both
peakers.
"It is a fact that I called this man
a liar." said the Mayor later. "He was
telling the crowd that Ross Island
could be bought without a bond issue,
and that was a lie. He also told them
that the paving companies were for
the charter, and that Is a lie. It is not
for me to say who had the best of it,
though the crowd treated me In a very
friendly manner. I thought."
Lane says he is g"ing to follow you
up tonight." it was suggested.
"Let him do it." said the Mayor.
"We'll be prepared for him."

The Mavor had said that when he
entered office two years ago he found
that members of the Police Depart

people of the underworld, and arrest

people, having had a trial and having
been fined, he said, were turned loose
again, worse members of society than
ever.
The sneech was the longest that the
Mavor has made during the present

Other speakers at the meeting were

election.
"Although I was opposed to Mayor
Rushlight for the nomination two years
ago," said Senator Moser, "I have never
had any hesitancy about supporting
him In the present primaries. There
Is every reason why every good cltisen

should be the clean, moral city that he
has tried to make It. should support

NONUNION MEN SECURED
Strike of Wireless Operators Delays
Not Alaska Steamers.
SEATTLE, April 25. The strike of
wireless telegraph operators failed to
delay the sailing of the steamship
Yukon for Southwestern Alaska to
night. Although the two union oper
ators on the Yukon responded to the
strike call Issued by the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union of America, two
nonunion men were obtained to fill
their places and the steamer sailed on
time.
Twenty-three wireless operators quit
work yesterday IS In San Francisco
and five here. These men will be fill
lowed by others as soon as the latter
conclude their runs, the union lead
ers say.
As a result one first-grade and one
second-grade operator, Instead of two
first-grade operators, sailed on the City
of Seattle and Jefferson for Alaska last
night. Customs officials in Seattle to
day reported the matter to Collector
of Customs Harper, of Port Townsend.
Marine regulations require two wire
less operators on each vessel. J.

Republican Mayoralty Aspirant De
clares Attorney Cites Illegal
Clauses of Measure and Vet
Supports Its Advocate.
"I have the highest regard for the
legal ability of John F. Logan, mem
ber of the Civil Service Commission
and ardent supporter of Mayor Rush
light." said Gay Lombard, Republican
candidate for Mayor, speaking at Kern
Park last night, "and I wish to can
your attention to the fact that he said
here In this hall Just last night, that
the proposed commission charter that
you are to vote on one week from
tomorrow carries unconstitutional
clauses.
"What kind of a spectacle Have you
In this strange mixture? Does it not
look peculiar that Mr. Logan will talk
from the same platform with the
Mayor, yet denounce the charter as
Illegal? Do you not think that, per
haps, should the proposed charter carry
May 3 and there should follow a long
legal fight as to Its constitutionality,
that Mayor Rushlight would continue
to hold office until the courts had
gone through with the litigation? Why
is it that Mayor Kusnugnt, wno spoxe
out for the first time here last night
as favoring the charter, is asking the
people of Portland to vote for a charter
which his civil service commission
says is unconstitutional. It looks as
though there might be some connec
tion there."
Mayor's Explanation Invited.
Mr. Lombard discussed the proposed
charter for an hour. One of the points
Mr. Lombard took up was with refer
ence to the fire department, where D.
Soils Cohen, chairman of the fire com
mittee of the Executive Board, had
said the night before that much good
had been accomplished.
"I want to tell you," said Mr. Lom
bard, "why it is that several of the
fire engine houses in Portland have
not been commissioned and why there
is no apparatus for some of them.
Councilman Magulre and Dr. H. C. Flx-
ott, a member -of Mayor Rushlights
own Executive Board, went to Denver
and saw tests of apparatus, at the
Mayor's suggestion and wish. They
both condemned as inferior the very
apparatus which later was purchased
at the high bid, thereby costing the
taxpayers some $7000 more than nec
essary and at' the same time rejecting
the report of Messrs. Magulre and Fix
ott. What happened? The low bidder.
whose apparatus was equal or supe
rior to that purchased, enjoined the
administration.
"That is why you have no apparatus
for a lot of your engine-houses. That
Is some of the 'good work' that has
been done In the fire department. I
would be glad to have the Mayor ex
plain why he rejected the report of his
own special committee."
Mr. Lombard said that the many
questions he has asked as to why the
framers of the proposed charter made
it so radically different from any other
American city have gone unanswered.
Charter Called Misnomer.
"The fact Is." said Mr. Lombard, "we
are not going to vote on commission
government at all next week; we are
voting on a charter that has no re
semblance whatsoever to a commission
form: which gives the Mayor all the
power to do as he pleases in conducting
city affairs; which places no restric
tions whatever upon salaries of ap
pointive officers and which absolutely
and surely nullifies Civil Service and
makes It possible to build up a big
political ring; which In one sentence
abolishes all of the present boards and
commissions and in the next sentence
empowers the Mayor and commission
ers to rehabilitate every one of the
-resent boards and commissions and
appoint as many more as they want
o."
Mr. Lombard closed bv saying he
would, if elected, appoint a commis
sion of men and women who would not
be office-holders' and who would pro
vide a real commission form of charter
within six months to be voted on. -
