Aplrant for Fxccutive Position Sajs if Elected He Won't Me Down With "Bis; Interests." "If I am elected Mayor I won't lie down and go to bed with the Harrlman people like Rushlight has done." an nounced Dan Kellaher. candidate for Mayor. In each of three speches last night. "NVIther will I become a bedfellow of the Hill interests, or any other In terests. "They call me 'Common-User Dan,' nnd I am proud of the title. I tell you. when a man standa for common user, he can't be partial to any Interest. Can our present Mayor say the same?" Kellaher reviewed the Rushlight tactics In dealing with the railroads, laying emphasis on Rushlight's veto of the measure passed by the Council, which would have revoked the O.-W. K. & X. and Southern Pacific franchises on the East Side streets. He spoke first In the Foresters' hall, at East Forty-second and Yamhill streets; next at Arbor Lodge, on the Peninsula, and then to a large crowd at Sixth and Washington streets. Kellaher had been advertised as the principal speaker at Arbor Lodge, but he was late In arriving and some of the crowd had left. Before, he held the attention of a large crowd at Forest ers Hall and received the enthusiastic applause of his hearers when he as sailed the Rushlight administration for what he termed Its many short comings. He related again the story of how Rushlight had tried to trap Frank T. Collier In accepting, a bribe when Col lier was serving as a Deputy District Attorney and of how he tried to have John R Coffey, now County Clerk, In dicted by tha grand jury because Cof fey, when a member of the Rushlight Executive Board, endeavored to break up the organized vote In the North End. MAGURG BARES MAYOR'S MARK Councilman Declares Kusliliglit Is Not Saving- Taxpayers' Money. "I am not here to tell anyone for whom to vote for Mayor." spoke Coun cilman Magulre, candidate for Com missioner, at Arbor Lodge last night "but there Is one man on the ticket that I say don't vote for. That man la A. Q. Rushlight." Hearty applause greeted this announcement. Displaying a printed sheet, headed "What Rushlight Has Done." Magulre proceeded to "pick to pieces" the Rush light record of achievement aa ex ploited by the Rushlight campaign bureau. 1 "He says here." declared Magulre. "that he has saved the propery own ers and the small borne owners $3,000, 00 In street and sewer work, but the only reduction you people ever goton streets and sewers was forced through the Ellis amendment. That established competition. I became a candidate against Joe Kills when he was recalled but I want to say that that amendment was a good measure. Rushlight was a member of the Council four years. but he never did anything to reduce the price of paving. "He takes credit for aavlng 145.000 In the construction of fire engine houses, but the records of the city will show that the Mayor had nothing whatever to do with that. "He tells you about saving S2S.000 In filling Morrison street, but I had more to do with that than did Rush light. "it Is a Joke for him to tell you he Is saving you $40,000 in carfares by establishing 90 stations In the resi dence districts where you can pay your water rent. He doesn't tell you how he did that, does he. He gave a con tract to the American Express Com pany, a New Tork corporation, to col lect the rent for 1 per cent. The com pany turns around and sublets the con tract at 1-1 of l per cent. This .New York corporation Is making about $8000 a year out of the taxpayers. Magulre also denied the Rushlight allegation that water rates have been reduced and asked for persons In the audience who are paying a lower rental now than before Rushlight went into office to say so. There was no re sponse. SOLOIST GETS- DIVORCE Mrs. Mary Adele Case Beam to Re sume Maiden Xante.

Charlie. Richard, Mary, Madeline. Felix and Irvine. BT LEONE CASS BAER. I'd like to have been that proverbial rodent under a chair last night so I could have got a consensus of opinion on Eddie Toy's tremendously pleasing show "Over the River." Well, that Isn't It quite, for the consensus of opinion was given large and freely uttered and with spontaneity. That opinion was that the show Is great! But. had I been the aforementioned rat I could have gleaned from the many opinions given. Just wherein and why it pleased mostly. Was It Eddie, coy and agile, wearing his trl-cornered smile and his sense of comedy writ large and as-of-yoreT Was it the dancing, tango-texas thomases, steps done so fast and furi ous that tha stage floor must have ached for hours afterward whirling, maddening, merry dances, was it these? Or, was It the music, all new to us, thanks to some copyright act that has prohibited "correct imitators" from stealing it for vaudeville. Maybe It Was the Plot." Was it the tunes? The words maybe, only words of songs in the musical comedy and elsewhere for that matter. aren t supposed to do near a wnen in action. Was It the lines? Or the plot our dear old "Man from Mexico" all bound round with a musical setting and stuffed as full of laughs as a pudding (home-made) Is of raisins? Or d'ye reckon It was the wonderful, colorful scenes, three of them, a riot of pretty girls beautifully costumed, bet ter looking chorus men than the aver age, and daring scenic effects to be dazzle and bewilder? Personally I am inclined to think It was a composite whole made up of generous bits of all of these. Seven Little Foya Are Joys. And the scream of It all Is the seven little joyful Foys. Along about the middle of the third act they saunter in. stair step In effect, with 16-year-old Bryan leading and tiny next-to-the-baby Eddie Junior bringing up the rear. Their father. Kddle, fetches Irv ing, the S-year-old baby, in a parcel post bag, and the line of Foy-Joys is complete. All but mother, who comes in later for a bow and smile. Each of the glad-faced children has a specialty. Mary quite captured the audience, quick to recognize the re markable beauty and strength of her voice. Charley, next to the oldest, gives the best imitation of his famous dad. Then Madeleine, aged 9. and Dick do a dandy fine texaa tommy dance, whirling like madcap fairy sprites. The baby, toddling along at the tail of the line, blows kisses and looks with scorn at father's attempts to coach him. As to father Eddie. He is unchanged. His smile is still of the morning's morning variety, his voice as quiet and full of comedy quirks. His back bends In and his knees bow out In his famous walk, and he perks his head on one side and sets everyone off at a nice little giggle party all their own. First Art Haa Specialties. He has two songs to himself and one with his family. Everybody has a lot of somethings to do. The entire first act Is cabaret specialties. Pearl Mathews and James Davis, dancers who appeared three times, scattered between members, were veritable sen sations. Three acrobatic maids. Betty Fuchs. Frieda and Hilda Hlrsch. were applauded till the rafters rung In their two dancing specialties. A novelty was the Raggedy Man chorus with pretty maids hopping about in sacks with an "old clo'ea" background; another was the chop stick rag and a big hit was the "lock step-two-step glide." Eleanor Kent, big of voice, and Junoesque is Mr. Foy s prima donna. She delighted most In a solo with en semble "Iy Tango Maid." As to the plot of "Over the River" referring to Sing Sing, go back In your memory to the gentle comedy of "The Mun From Mexico." In a musical version with Foy and his family It is delightful, and a recommended chaser of blue devils. It will finish out the week at the Helllg. with a matinee to morrow.

A Little Judgment 165,000 was Portland's pop ulation In 1907. Today. 1913. It is 266,000. an Increase of 101,000. In these same six years, 16,400 new homes have been built, providing- homes for 87,000 people, 12,956 of these homes, costing under J2500, hove been built on lots costing under $700, 3444 homes that cost over $2500 have been built on lots val ued at over $700. If four months' building record continues, over 3000 homes will be built in Port land in 1913, which means that over 2300 vacant lots, valued under $700, will be taken up. These facts are posi tive proof that a $650 lot located on the Cen tral East Side is a very good Investment. Espe cially so when the price includes the Improve ments and can be bought for $10 per mo. Tou can . make no mistake in this selection. The value is there NOW, and 79 per cent of the growth Is In that di rection. Let us prove it. Umbdenstock & Larson Co.

COLLINS FOR COMMISSIONER No. 27 on Ballot JL 0. Collins, candidate for Commissioner, is a native of Portland, 42 years old. He is a civil engineer, an attorney-at-law, and is president of The Hawthorne Estate. "While his own interests are with the taxriavers. and he is of a conservative temperament, he is at the same time broad and progressive in his views ; of thoroughly democratic sympathies; belongs to no partisan taction, and is a man of good business and personal habits. He has been an officer and active member of the United Improvement Clubs' Association, materially assisting civic betterment movements and counseling progressive policies. He was a leader in the campaign conducted by these club3 for the new East Side terminals and the public docks. He was one of the committee of five initiating the "Ziegler Amend ment," enacted in 1911, which put a stop to the vacation of streets on the waterfront. He was one of the backers of the referendum on the Oregon and Adams street vacation, and defended the refer endum in the courts when an injunction was issued against its appearance on the ballot. That vacation figured in a bill of 18 parcels of right-of-way for which the 0.-"W. R. & N. demanded pay from the S. P. & S. for entrance upon, under the common user priv ilege; but has now been omitted from the appraisement, probably due to the publicity raised by this suit. Some years ago, when public opinion demanded a reorganization of the Port Commission, Governor West appointed Mr. Collins as one of the new board, but a suit in court resulted in the denial of the Governor's right to reorganize the commission or to interfere with its reorganizing itself. The result is the pursuance of the policy of diverting the foreshore by fills from the public to private title, and thus compelling the Dock Commission to repurchase what it must have for dock sites. Supporters of Mr. Collins need never fear that he will win a reputation for "constructive ability" by sacrificing the public inter ests to wealthy private interests. He is able, willing, and desirous to establish a true public policy. (Paid Advertisement.)
