The filing yesterday of the nominat ing: petitions of five more asplranta for commlsslonershlps at the city election, June 2. raised the total number of can didates to 4E. There are 39 out for Commissioner, two for City Auditor and four for Mayor. Those who Joined In the race yesterday are F. J. Evans, E. L. Sechrist, C R. Ie Burgh. A. W. Lam bert and T. & Williams. Each of their petitions contained more than 100 sig natures. City Auditor Barbur yesterday began the task of arranging the ballot for the election. It Is his Intention to have this work completed and ready for the printer as soon as the time limit for the filing of new petitions expires. In addition to the long list of candidates, there will be 11 Initiative measures submitted to the voters. City Attorney Grant has prepared most of the ballot titles and has sent them to the City Auditor, who will ar range a place on the ballot for them, subject to their change by the City Council. The Council will consider any proposed changes In the wording of the titles at a special meeting this morn ing at 1:30 o'clock. Early Flllncs to Be Recognise. Auditor Barbur has decided that un less legal proceedings are Instituted to stop such action he will place the names of candidates on the ballot In the order or their filing, taking the names of persons who filed at 7 o'clock Satur day night first. This will give Ralph C Clyde first place on the list. A strong protest was made against the Auditor doing this, because of the fact that the petitions of those who filed Saturday night were secured before the polls closed In the election which de termined whether or not the com mission charter was to be established. City Attorney Grant, when asked for an opinion on the regularity of these petitions, said he believed they were all right, and has advised Auditor Barbur to place the names on the ballot In the order of their filing. The only way this can be prevented Is by some per son securing an Injunction to prohibit such action. In which event It prob ably would be impossible to hold the election on June 2. Ha yea Comaaeaee Fillaa;. It was announced by Christopher Hayes, an attorney who Is circulating the petitions of about 75 candidates, that he will commence to file for his candidates today. Solicitors who have been securing names hare practically completed the preparation of the peti tions of about 33 of the 75 aspirants. Auditor Barbur says It is apparent that many candidates are holding out for places at the end of the list, be lieving that It Is an advantage to have the names either at the top or the bottom of the list. Many candidates have expressed their desire to foot the list and are holding back their peti tion with that end in view. Candidates can enter the race up to 6 o'clock P. M. Monday. The charter provides that no candidate shall file later than 20 days before the election or earlier than 40 days before. An ex citing rush of asplranta Is expected Saturday and Monday, particularly Monday. A lively time la anticipated late Monday, when the various as plranta Jockey for the final place in the list.

The measures to be withdrawn In clude proposed charter amendments to provide Increases lor memoers or, me City Council, the City Attorney, the City Engineer, the City Treasurer and the Clerk and Judge of Municipal Court. If these are taken off the bal lot there will be 11 proposed charter amendments remaining. JIDE GATEXS SOT TO RCX Juvenile Jurist Tells Friends He Will Not Seek. Mayoralty. After having considered requests of friends that he enter the race for M.vor under the commission govern tnent. Circuit Judge Catena yesterday announced that be would not be a been urged by dosens of business men and others to become a candidate. "The Mayoralty of Portland should be alluring to the ambition of any man." said Judge Gatens yesterday, in announcing his Intention to remain out of the race. "But there is Important work, for me to do in the Juvenile Court and for which I have planned. I should not want to lay down this work to enter a race for a position already sought by eminent gentlemen who are among mj, friends." PREFERENTIAL VOTIXG IS HIT Women Hear One Explanation of System and Reject It. The preferential voting system was explained to a small crowd of women who gathered In the auditorium of the Medical Building yesterday af ternoon. John T. Dougall was the speaker. He showed how the system is supposed to work and declared In answer to a question' that. If the women want to be certain to elect any Individual, they should not nse the sec ond or third-choice vote for any other candidate. A resolution was adopted, declaring the preferential voting plan to be a plan to put Incompetent men In office. and the women present agreed to concentrate their votes on one set of men or women candidates for Mayor and Commissioners. They will try to do this In order to throw their Influ ence to those whom they believe to be proper persons to hold office under the new charter and to avoid scattering their votes thereby assisting in putting those whom they do not believe are as lit Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway, "Mother of Suffrage." saw herself in moving pictures yesterday for the first time.

It seemed the cook had bade "adieu." likewise the washerwoman, too. At first within the House of Jones there followed sad despondent moans. No hopeful word could reconcile, no honied kiss insoire a smile. "I never knew be- Cold Dust as Strike Breaker fore" said she, "how horrid household cares could be." "Upon my word I'm up at six and working still as midnight ticks. I scrub and run and wash and shine to keep the little things in line, and yet around me here and there I see undone another share. I almost feel as if I'd like to join the other ones on Strike. Some morning try it get a mop; go through from cellar to the top, and I will venture you must see, the greater burdens fall on me." Now Mr. Jones was passing wise and later, sprang a glad sur prise. Through friends who praised the"G0LD DUST WAY he brought a package home one day.
