POLITICAL SUPPORTER OF GOVERNOR WEST, APPOINTED STATE PRINTER. I n 1 f Tt- ' 1 tM" . II. A. Appointment on Day of Late Official's Funeral Is Sub ject of Comment. BITTER FIGHT IS RECALLED Condition Arises Which Mr. Duni way Tried to Guard Against and State Will Be Compelled to Buy Plant for Short Tse. SALEM, Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) R. A. HarriB, recently state printing ex pert, was appointed State Printer by Governor West today, the announce ment being made over long-distance telephone from the Executive's Sum mer home at Cannon Beach. Harris, who will succeed the late Willis S. Duniway, will take charge of the de partment at once, and it is reported the entire office will be reorganized. The appointment is regarded as- the payment of a political debt, Harris having stood with the Governor in his fights on Mr. Duniway. Under a law passed at the session of the Legislature in 1911 the ap pointee will serve as State Printer un til January 1, 1915, at a salary of $4000 a year. An act passed at the 1913 session, which will become opera tive January 1, 1915, provides for a State Printer at a salary of $1800 a year. Friends of Mr. Duniway today com mented upon the appointment of his successor being announced the day of the late State Printer's funeral. Governor's Aid Given. Because of a conflict of laws, jokers in the one passed in 1911, which Is now in effect, and the probable reor ganization of the department, it is not improbable that the office will be in more or less chaotic condition for some time. Mr. Duniway predicted such a condition when he urged the recent Legislature to repeal the law of 1911 providing for a. flat salary for the State Printer, after the passage at the session of 1913 of a bill authoriz ing the contract system. . Governor West appointed Harris state printing expert soon after he as sumed the duties of the office of Gov ernor. It was declared at the time that the appointment was made in payment for services Harris had ren dered during the campaign for Gov ernor. Harris fought for the flat sal ary law for the State Printer In the Leg islaure of 1911, and won his fight with the aid of the Governor. It was freely said, at the time that he was slated for the place in case the bill became a law. The bill was at first defeated in the House, but Governor West sent a message to that body intimating that certain appropriation measures might be vetoed if the flat salary bill failed to pass. It was passed, with the pro vision that it should not become ef fective until January 1, 1916, when THr. Duniway"s term of office would have expired. - Attaclc Made on Duniway. Mr. Duniway's enemies did not stop here. Soon after the close of the ses sion of the Legislature they Initiated a bill to put the flat salary law into ef fect at once. It was defeated in every county. Mr. Duniway proved to the people that he was fighting for their interests. The Legislature at the recent ses sion passed a bill providing for a new system in state printing, part of which may be let by contract. Mr. Duniway urged after the passage of this meas ure the repeal of the one of 1911, ar guing that should he die or another emergency arise, under the old act the state would have to purchase a print ing plant, which would become useless when the law providing for the con tract system becomes effective January 1, 1915. The law repealing the meas ure was passed, but the Governor ve toed it, announcing that it might be the means of a referendum being in voked on the 1913 law and restoring the old system. The House passed the bill over the veto, but the Senate sustained it by a small vote. Announcement also was made today that Arthur Lawrence probably would be named as secretary of the Board of Control, which will have supervision over the state printing department. The place will pay a salary of $2000 a year. An appropriation of $20,000 for the purchase of a printing plant was made by the flat salary bill. Whether an attempt will be made to purchase the plant of Mr. Duniway or a new one will be obtained has not been divulged. R. A. HARRIS NAMED AS STATE PRINTER HARRIS. However, the law makes it mandatory that a plant be provided, and under the law it will be of no use to the state after January 1, 1915.

MARSHFIELD, Or., Aug. 7. (Spe cial.) It would take more than the loss of a leg and an arm to blight the love of Miss Edna DeMasters for How ard Brett. They were childhood sweethearts in old Virginia and a couple of years ago Brett came West to make his fortune.. He came to Coos Bay a year ago and took a position with the Smith-Powers Logging Company. Six months later he was caught on a trestle by a log ging train and had his left arm and leg cut off. Three or four weeks ago he went to Portland to have artificial limbs fitted. He returned this week with the artificial limbs and also a bride. AVhen Miss DeMasters heard of his tragedy she wrote him that it would make no difference with their plans for matrimony and in fact urged that it take place at once. Just what the oxchange of letters was can only be guessed. At any rate she met him in Portland and their marriage followed. Brett has arranged to take an in terest in the Portland house that sold him the artificial limbs and will, after settling his affairs here, return to Portland. COURT ENJOINS STRIKERS Seattle Teamsters Ordered Xot to Molest Strikebreakers. SEATTLE, Aug. 7.

Story of Recommendation of Candi date for Rockpile Superintend ent Based on Letter. Taking exception to a statement in The Oregonian of August t to the effect that he had recommended Julius Knis pel for the position of superintendent of the rockpile at Linnton, Governor West last night sent the following tele gram to The Oregonian: "Seaside, Or., Aug. 7. (To the Editor-) Report Oregonian August 4 that I had indorsed Julius Knispel for ap pointment superintendent city rockpile unfounded. I have indorsed no one for that position. Please make correction. (Signed) OSWALD WEST." The statement made in The Oregonian was based on a letter sent by Governor West to Mayor Albee from the Seward Hotel by special messenger, in which Mr. Knispel was lauded by the Gover nor because of his (Knlspel's) prison policy. The letter was sent at a time when it was generally known that Mr. Knispel was considered for the position of superintendent of the rockpile to take the place of A. G. Ross. In the letter the Governor stated that he knew Knispel and believed- him to be trying to do what was right. He mentioned specifically Knlspel's ideas and inten tions in the matter of prison reform. He said the Mayor knew his own busi ness and for that reason he (the Gov ernor) did not indorse him for any par ticular position. The article in The Oregonian relating to the incident was as follows: "Knis pel has been strongly recommended to Mayor Albee by a number of prominent people, including Governor West and all but two of the Circuit Judges of this county. The Governor wrote a personal letter to the Mayor favorable to Knis pel, and letters -also have been written by the judges and others." PARTY SPLIT PREDICTED SPOKANE ELECTION BRINGS DIS CORD TO FRONT. Progressive Leaders Dissatisfied and Three Leagues May Be Organized. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 7. (Special.) Three Progressive Leagues may be or ganized in Spokane where one existed before, as a result of the contest at the annual election last Tuesday, where the organization forces behind State Chairman L. Roy Slater, Horace Kim ball and A. W. avis succeeded in electing their ticket of trustees over the opposition of O. C. Moore, president of the league. Women who have been interested in the Progressive movement say that they are disgusteo with the scrap and, though leaders refuse to be quoted, they declare their intention of or ganizing a league exclusively for fem inine voters. Suppbrters of O. C. Moore also de clare that a second league is needed and, while r.o actual call for meetings has been issued, missionaries have been busy in sounding possible sup porters tor both or the new organiza tions contemplated. Meanwhile W. A. Monten. temporary chairman of the Board of Trustees, has called a meeting to be held in the Lewis and Clark High School August 11, tor tne election of officers. It i possible that a contest will come up and that the Moore partisans will en deavor to elect their own ticket of league officials, rather than to form a new body. Monten has been mentioned prominently as the next president, but i. w. Durham s name was also broached today. Many committeemen including Monten, were anxious to bring about harmony by electing a set or orriciais suitable to all concerned. Knights to Stay at New Haven. BOSTON, Aug. 7. After voting by a large majority late today not to move the headquarters of the order from New Haven, Conn., to Washington, D. C the Knights of Columbus, in su preme convention, chose St. Paul as their meeting place in 1914 and then adjourned. A ball tonight closed the convention. The turning down of the proposition to change headquarters also disposed of the plan to build a ir.000,000 home for the order in the capital city. Action on proposed changes in the insurance laws of the order was postponed until 1914. 7th Day of Greatest Shoe Value Sale Ever Held in the City And we wish to thank the good people of Portland for their patronage and confidence in our representations.

REHEARING LIMIT 30 DAYS Advisability of Giving Sew City Em ployes Priority Over Those leav ing Service and Examina tions Considered. ' Rules requiring that the heads of city departments notify the Civil Serv ice Commission when any employe has been absent more than the regular leave-term of 30 days, and that the time for rehearing after a Civil Service employe has been dismissed be limited to 30 days, were decided on at a meet ing of the Civil Service commission last night. Clerk Tupper was instructed to prepare the rules ready for adoption at the next meeting of the board two weeks hence. The Commission decided to hold Its regular meeting on alternate Thurs days, aLlP. M., in the Council chamber, instead sttc alternate Wednesdays, as heretofore, because Wednesday is a regular meeting day of the commis sion. The next meeting of the Com mission will be Thursday, August 21. The advisability of establishing a rule that city employes who have left the service of the city voluntarily, if they are reinstated, shall take a place at the bottom of the eligible list, in stead of at the top, as at present, was also discussed. The Commission considered the forms of civil service examinations for the various departments, including those for the places of private secretaries to the various City Commissioners. The cases of policemen who have been absent for more than the regular leave of absence were discussed, and it is probable that the Commission may enforce the rule which gives it pow er to dismiss all employes who have been absent for more than 30 days without the consent of the Commis sion. , "These men undoubtedly know the rules," said Commissioner Caldwell, "and if they don't they should be taught what they are by dismissal. On the eligible or waiting list we have a num ber of men who have passed the ex amination and are otherwise qualified and they cannot be put to work regu larly so long aa some of the regular policemen or firemen or other employes are likely to come back. Clerk Tupper was instructed to se cure data from both the police and fire departments, showing the number of absentees, how long they have been absent, the cause of absence and other facts that may be valuable to the Com mission in considering the' cases. There were present at last night's meeting Commissioners Clark and CaldwelL PORTLAND BOY IS BITTEN Jess Digman Suffers Flesh Wound When Snapped by Dog. SEASIDE. Or., Aug. 7. (Special.)

Why take all the trouble necessary to produce a well-made soup of this character when the work has already been done for you so perfectly in Campbell's Vegetable Soup? You could hardly gather in a day's marketing the sixteen different vege tables and all the other nourishing ingredients we use in this favorite Campbell "kind". You could not buy better materials nor prepare and blend them more carefully than we do. And no one could pro duce a more wholesome and satisfying soup. Try it and see.

Life of ex-President Spared Only in Recognition of His Standing - With Powers. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. (Special.) Dr. Sun Tat Sen, father of the Chinese Republic and its provisional president, has been ordered banished from that country forever and three of his asso ciates are under sentence of death, as a result of their revolutionary propa ganda. Since the issuance of this govern mental edict the four men have been in hiding in Canton trying to escape the penalty imposed on them. This is the news brought here today by Bertram Webb, who arrived in San Francisco today on the Shenyo Maru, after traveling about China. Fellow passengers who visited Shanghai while the liner was in that port confirm the story of the banishment of Dr. Sun. Shanghai was excited over the Gov ernment's edict, eaid Webb, and the present whereabouts of former chief executive of China, as well as of his associates, is not known. They are said to be hiding in Canton, seeking to evade the order that has been issued Imperatively. The general opinion in Shanghai, said Webb, was that the government had considered ordering Dr. Sun Tat Sen's execution, but that he was spared in recognition of the distinction and reputation which he holds with the world's powers. A four-mile tunnel through the Selklrks, built ot a cost of 12,0OO,00O. will eliminate the delays caused by landildee experienced by a Canadian railroad. 2rirjnrK SS- rip! ilSlll J
