THE 3IORSIXG OREGOyiAN. FRIDAY, MAT 22, 1914? .7 VACATION SCHOOLS' TEACHERS CHOSEN Board Decides on Faculty of Summer Session, but Not for Regular Fall Term. FOUR DISTRICTS ADDED Ockley Green, Lents, Richmond and Woodlaun Want Special Classes and Request Is Granted1 Xew Law Raises Question. Teachers were elected by the School Board yesterday to serve in the 12 Summer schools to be operated in Port land, beginning: July 1, but it did not elect the teachers to serve for the regular school term opening next Fall. The election of teachers was the or der of the day, but the superintend ent's office had not completed its list of recommendations, and, besides, Di rector Munly was not present and the Board decided to defer the matter until an adjourned meeting Monday night, when this and other important special matters will come up. In view of the operation of the 1913 school law, the civil service provisions of which place all teachers elected for tho third time on the permanent list, the question arose yesterday as to whether teachers on this list could not be dismissed when they were married. Originally, all contracts became an nulled automatically when a teacher married. Director Sommer said he be lieved it would be a good plan to settle this question before the Board proceed ed with the election of teachers. As a matter of accommodation two prospective teachers who live in the East, George F. Karnopp, a graduate of Yale, and Frederick Nims, a gradu ate of the University of Wisconsin, were elected yesterday as English teachers to serve in the Jefferson High School. in response to petitions signed by the taxpayers in the respective dis tricts, the Board decided to add four additional Summer schools this year The buildings affected are the Ockley Green, Lents, Richmond and Woodlawn. Delegations appeared before the Board yesterday from the first three of these territories. Principals and teachers will be selected for these buildings as soon as possible.

OrKanlsatlon of Republicans to Bring Victory la State Advocated by Candidate Losing In l'rimary. OREGON CITY. Or., May 19. (To the Editor.) Permit me to say that at all times and under all circumstances I have supported the freneral Republican ticket. I became a candidate for Gov ernor on what we will call a dry plat form. I am standing on that platform now and intend to continue to stand "on It. When I announced myself as a can didate, I assumed, or tried to show the way. or. perhaps, it might be more proper to say. -tried to suggest to the temperance people a way whereby they could unite and nominate a man rep resenting their ideas in the Republi can primary. Our Prohibition friends concluded that it would bo wise not to register as Republicans, but to organize a con vention of their own and nominate a ticket. This, of course, eliminated any possible chance of iny nomination, if I ever had any. and this is the reason why I made no campaign in the state except to speak in three places. The Republicans in this state have expressed themselves as desiring to have Ir. Withycombe, of Benton Coun ty, as their standard-bearer in the cam paign of this year. I can have no ob jection, as a. Republican or as an in dividual, to this choice. I have known Withycombe for 20 years as an able, upright and patriotic gentleman, fully cquipped to lead the party in this cam pain to victory. No law-abiding man in this state can have any objection to him. No one who believes in law enforcement and the greater develop ment of this state can tind any legit imate reason, from the standpoint of a Republican, for opposing his election. 1 believe that the Republicans of this state ought to get together and work In harmony to achieve a victory this year, as they should have done in 1906 and in 1910. The result of past ao tions is that we have a Democratic Governor and two Democratic United States Senators, and both of these Sen ators are misrepresenting and have continued to misrepresent the real sen timents and the material interest and welfare of the people of this state. This is going to be a Republican year. "We can already see the effect upon the business interests as well as the markets and the general slack in business of the policy that these two gentlemen, representing Oregon in the United States Senate, have advocated and voted for in obedience to the policy of the present National Administration. We should organize a thorough cam paign in this state and go to work to carry it for the Republican ticket from top to bottom and to prepare for the PROMHEXT PORTLAND MA SON PASSES AWAY AT AGE OF 79. lllliiillllptiil iiipiiiia1 Samuel E. Wishard. Samuel K. "Wishard, pioneer of 1852, a thirty-second degree Ma son and member of Washington Lodge No. 46, A. F. and A. M., died early Tuesday morning at his home. 474 East Stark street. He was 79 years old. Mr. Wish ard crossed the plains to Oregon in 1852. His family settled near Lebanon on a donation land claim. He afterward came to Portland, where he made his home for more than 45 years. In 1869 Mr. Wishard was ini tiated in Washington Lodge, A. F. and A. M. He was the first member received into that lodge. He was a member of the Scottish Rite. Besides the widow, Mr. Wishard is survived by three sis ters, Mrs. Luclnda Crowder, of AlDany. Or.: Mrs. J. R. Rickey and Mrs. W. A. Cummings, of Portland. The funeral was held yesterday at 3:30 P. M". from Scottish Rite Cathedral, under the auspices of the Masonic order. struggle in 1916. I therefore desire to say that the Republican ticket will have whatever support I am capable of giving it. GEORGE C. BROWNELL WOOL PRICES ARE HIGH FIGURES EQUALED O.V I. V TWICE BEFORE IN 25 YEARS. Total of r.00,000 Pounds of Umatilla County's Clips Change, Hands. Every Clip Offered Is Sold. PENDLETON, Or., . May 21. (Spe cial. Only twice before in 25 years has Umatilla County wool sold for prices equal to those secured by Pilot Rock growers at the public sale held in that place today. This was the first public sealed-bid sale held in Oregon ibis year. More than 500,000 pounds changed hands. Every clip offered was sold. The prices received ranged as much as 514 cents in advance of the prices paid for the" same clips last year. An unusual feature of the sale was the fact that the "line wool" clip of the J. E. Smith Company topped the market at 19 cents. As a rule the "coarse" wool brings the higher price. The following is the list of the grow ers with the amounts sold and prices received: Cunningham Company. 110,000 pounds at 18 cents: Pat Doherty, 40,000 pounds (coarse) at 19 cents; Pat Doherty. 10, 000 pounds (fine) at 17; S. G. Jones, 18,000 pounds at 16: A. P. Warner, 9000 pounds at 17 VI; C. W. Matthews, 15.000 pounds at 18 ; Ilugg Bros., 9000 pounds at 19H: K. G. Warner, 60,000 pounds at 188 ; A. A. Cole, 49,000 pounds at 1S?8: Andy Rust, 28.000 pounds at 18?i: Morgan Edwards. 12, 000 pounds, 18; Joo Pedro, 40,000 pounds, 18Vi; Charles Johnson. 36,000 pounds. 18; J- E. Smith Company. 65, 000 pounds at 19 (this is higher than the price bid for this 'Clip last year). The Cunningham clip, the largest sold, brought 4 cents more than last year. DIAMOND THIEF IS FREED Sa 1cm Police T u m Man Loose Thought to Be Adept Kobber. SALEM, Or.. May 21. (Special.) A man who grave his name as Jack Rea gan and said he was the son of a prominent New York City broker, is called by the iSalem police today the smoothest diamond thief who ever op erated in ,the city. The man visited several jewelry stores and at the last one stole two diamond pins. He was captured as he was about to board a trajn for Port land. The pins were recovered and the young- man beg-g-ed to be released. He was fined $25 in Justice Court, paying $15 of it himself and inducing a man he never saw before to advance him $10. Then he boarded a train for Port land promising to return the $10 when he reached the Benson Hotel, where he declared he was staying. The police are now sorry the man was not de tained, for they believe he is a pro fessional diamond thief. BLUE SKY - LAW INVOKED OlUo Threatens Washington If Ad vertisements of State Continue. OLTMPIA, Wash.. May 21. (Special.) Secretary of State I. M. Howell is threatened with the penalties of Ohio's blue sky law. in a letter from Joseph H. Harper, that state's Commissioner of Securities, because of a series of advertisements he has placed in East ern papers, calling attention to the possibilities for farmers in this state. Commissioner Harper, in his letter, advises the Washington official that he must take out a dealer's license if he is to continue advertising in Ohio. Mr. Howell, replying, points out that he is offering nothing for sale and de clines to admit the bearing of the Ohio blue sky law in this case. BENSON NOW LEADS M'NARY 120 VOTES Unofficial Returns for Repub lican Nomination for Su preme Bench Completed. OFFICIAL COUNT REQUIRED State Record Shows K. A. Booth for United States Senator and T. B. Kay, for Treasurer, Polled Big Vote, Though Unopposed. Complete but unofficial returns from every county in the state now give Henry I Benson, of Klamath Falls, a lead of 120 votes over Charles L. Mc Nary, of Salem, for the Republican nomination for the Supreme Court Bench. The total vote In the state, as indi cated by the unofficial returns, is 34, 610 for Judge Benson and 34,340 for Judge McNary. Official returns rapidly are coming into the office of the Secretary of State and show little variation from the unofficial reports. The votes of Douglas. Hood River, Klamath. Lincoln, Morrow, Shermau. Umatilla, Union and Wheeler counties were reported yesterday and showed exactly the same figures as previously presented in The Oregonian. The vote is so close, however, that it is possible that a complete canvass of the returns will be made before the nomination is awarded. On account of the close vote for the Supreme Court nomination the official canvass of the vote on the other state offices is being delayed, but no mate rial changes have been reported in the count. It is evident, however, that R. A. Booth, of Eugene, candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senator, although unopposed. receivea almost tne tun vote of the Republican party. Those counties that have reported the full vote give Mr. Booth's vote equal almost to the aggregate vote or tne eight candidates for Governor. His vote, it is estimated, is equal to that of Thomas B. Kay, State Treas urer, who was nominated, without op position, for re-election. The contest for the gubernatorial nomination centered the full vote of the Republican party on the candidates for that office. Every man who voted the Republican ticket voted for Gov ernor, and the fact that most of them also voted for Mr. Booth and Mr. Kay, although they had no opposition, is pointed to by their friends as evidence of their popularity. The Democratic returns still show Dr. C. J. Smith well in the lead for the nomination for Governor. TWO XOMIXATIOXS AIIK NOTED Republican Supreme Court Candi date Gets Democratic Vote. ALBANY, Or.. May 21. (Special.) Lawrence T. Harris, of Kugene, not only led all the candidates for the Supreme Court in the vote in the Re publican primaries in Linn County, but he carried the county for the Demo cratic nomination as well.

Crawford, the two Democrats whose names were suggested for writing in. Charles 'L. McNary, another of the Republican candidates, received 14 votes for the Democratic nomination.

GAS INQUIRY OUTLINED GOVERNOR SAYS PORTLAND FRAN CHISE! PROBE! IS ARRANGED. Mayor Is Consulted and City Attorney Instructed to Aid State Officials la Maklag In ventilation. SALEM, Or., May 21. (Special.) Goverenor West said tonight that he had conferred with Mayor Albee re garding the investigation of the Port land gas franchises as provided in a resolution adopted at the last session of the -Legislature.
