CAPTAIN MAGGENN
FAVORS I. BOOTH
Coos Bull Moose Leader Says
Progressives and Republi
cans Must Combine.
ALTERNATIVE IS DEFEAT
breakwater's Master Avers That With
Union of Parties Colonel Roose
velt Logical Candidate for
President in 1916.
Captain T. J. Macgenn, master of the
steamer Breakwater and chairman of
the Progressive county central com
mittee of Coos County, who, in the
1912 Presidential campaign was one of
the most influential Progressive party
leaders of that section, announced yes
terday when he arrived in port with
the Breakwater from Marshfleld, that
he will support R. A. Booth, the Re
publican candidate for United States
benator.
"I shall work for Mr. Booth and vote
for him, and I favor a union of the
Progressive and Republican parties in
Oregon," said Captain Macgeen. "There
is no sensible reason why the Republi
cans and Progressives should not get
together behind the candidacies of men
who can beat the Democrats.
'Differences Are Slight."
"I have given the best that was In
me to the Progressive party. I am still
a Progressive. But 1 feel that pro
gressive policies will best be served by
amalgamating with the Republican
party. With the old Republican lead
ers eliminated, our differences are now
very slight. I feel that there Is noth
ing to be gained, and very much to be
lost, by our working to cress purposes
and keeping the Democrats in power.
"In my opinion. Colonel William Han
ley, the Progressive nominee for United
States Senator, has no chance of being
elected. Mr. Booth has a fine chance.
and he would make a fine Senator. By
voting for Colonel Hanley. Progres
sives will only split Mr. -Booth's
strength without aiding Mr. Hanley,
and help the chances of Senator Cham
berlain, the Democratic nominee.
Mr. Booth Is Praised.
"Mr. Booth is the type of man that
Oregon needs in the United States
Senate. He made a fine impression in
Marshfleld on July 4, when he de
livered the Independence day address
there. Mr. Booth not only made the
finest Fourth of July address ever
given in Marshfleld, but I might almost
say it was the finest ever given in
OressSn, or even on the Pacific Coast.
Colonel Hanley also spoke there on
the Fourth, but it was Mr. Booth's
talk that made the deep impression
"Not only shall I work for Mr. Booth,
but I Intend to get other Progressives
in Coos County together and urge them
to do the same. It is Oregon's chance
to begin the end of Democratic domina
tion of the state. I believe that Mr.
Booth Is truly a progressive Republi
can, and that his election will be to
the best interests of the whole state.
Captain Admires Roosevelt.
Captain Macgenn is a great admirer
of Theodore Roosevelt. He was one of
the delegates to the Progressive con
vention which nominated Mr. Roosevelt
for President in 1912, and he took a
very active personal part in that cam
paign. "Theodore Roosevelt," said the Cap
tain, "is the biggest man in America
today. You might compare him to
Oliver Cromwell. He is really the Pro
gressive party at present. Personally,
I am a Roosevelt Progressive, but
Roosevelt Progressive or 'Teddy' Re
publican, it is about the same. With
the Progressive and Republican parties
getting together as they should do,'
Colonel Roosevelt is the logical Repub
lican candidate for President n 1916."

That he trained a bulldog to eat cats

RUNAWAY GIRLS ARRESTED
Pair From Springfeld Held Await

Dora Stickles and Nellie Tlbbetts,
each 18 years old, ran away from their
homes in Springfield and arrived in
Portland late Thursday. Yesterday
morning they were taken Into custody
by Wilms P. Chandler, of the Bureau
for the Protection of Women, and are
being held.
The girls are said to have engaged a
room at the Y. W. C. A. and did not
come back to occupy it. Miss Chandler
has taken their case up with the Lane
County authorities.
Contrary to the statement Tuesday
that there would be no immediate
changes in the personnel of the bridge
crews, Madison Welch, who supplanted
M. J. Murnane as superintendent of

men who comprise the bridge repair

Those discharged by Superintendent
Welch since Wednesday are: John

that he did not toucn liquor in any
form save on rare occasions, and then
only In moderation at an occasional
social function. He Baid that he had
never been under the influence of
liquor to any degree in his life.
In this he was strongly corroborates
later by several witnesses. One or
them wag Dr. J. M. Edwards,, now a
practicing physician of Portland, a
friend of 17 years, who had known
him intimately In Mankato, Minn.,
where Mr. Clark lived before coming
to Portland In 1906, and where he
met Mrs. Clark and married her.
Doctor Tells of Temperance.
Dr. Edwards testified with emphasis
that Mr. Clark was extremely tem
perate in his habits, and that he had
known him to use liquor only very
rarely, and then only in small quantities.
Other witnesses who had known Mr.
Clark intimately since he came to Port
land testified to the same effect. Among
them were: Gus C. Moser and Dr.
Henry Waldo Coe.
Another of these stories wnicn jar.
Clark refuted was to the effect that
he had been guilty of Improper per
sonal conduct In Mankato before their
marriage
in this connection Mr. C'larK gave
something of the history of his early
professional life in Mankato, begin
ning in lSae, wnen ne was aammeu
to the bar, and ending witn nis re
moval to Portand In 1906. He started
at the age of 23, he said, with no
practice and no clients, and ended in
1906. with one of the largest practices
in that part of Minnesota.
In all that time, he said, his pro
fessional standing was of the highest
and his personal conduct was never
questioned.
In this again, ne was empnaticany
corroborated by Dr. Edwards. The
doctor testified apparently with deep
feeling. He rejated how he had known
Mr. Clack from the day he had begun
practice "on the ground floor with
two books, to the time in 1906, when he
removed to Portland, leaving the
largest law practice in Southern Min
nesota." Past Record Is Attested.
No lawyer in the entire section, said
Dr. Edwards, stood higher, profes
sionally or personally, than Mr. Clark.
He spoke with especial warmth when
he testified that in all Mr. Clark's
residence in Minnesota he had never
heard raised against him the slightest
question concerning his professional
integrity or personal conduct. He de
clared that to his personal knowledge
Mr. Clark's whole life had been free
from any tinge of scandal.
Several other stories which Mrs.
Clark had circulated were discussed by
Mr. Clark. He cited an instance in
which Mrs. Clark had gone to many
lawyers, doctors, clergymen and others
and told them stories reflecting on his
professional Integrity and personal
morality.
While Mr. Clark was on the stand,
Mr. Logan questioned him concerning
a taxlcab bill for septemDer, isu
which had been run up by Mrs. Clark
amounting to 1147.45.
Many Taxi Bills, He Says.
Mr. Clark explained that this was
only one of many taxicab bills con
tracted by Mrs. Clark in the last year,
which ranged from about ?50 a month
to $150 a month. This particular Din
he explained, he had investigated. .
His testimony in this connection had
a bearing on Mrs. Clark's suit, now
pending against Rev. A. A. Morrison,
of -Trinity Church, for $25,000 for de
famation of character, though neither
the suit nor Dr. Morrison was men
tloned. Mr. Clark explained that he
had discovered, in his efforts to find
how his wife could have ridden in taxi-
cabs to the extent of $-47.45 in one
month, that after he left home in tne
morning she would call a taxi and go
to St. Vincent's Hospital.
There she would frequently stay all
day. Mr. Clark said, receiving callers
there, apparently as a nervous patient,
until evening. She would usually
ascertain by telephone when Mr. Clark
was coming home, call another taxi,
and be at the house when he got there,
he added.
This was at about the time when
Mrs Clark brought her litigation
against Dr. Morrison, In which she
declared that her differences with him

ij Deputy Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures Buchtel said tonight he had done
his biggest and smallest day's work
today. Admitting that his statement
was somewhat contradictory, Mr. Buch
tel explained as follows:
"Charles L. Hanson, Sealer of Weights
and Measures of Jackson County, wrote
me to certify to his set of metric
weights for use in testing scales in his
county. In checking the weights I
found that the set was short a one-
tenth of a milligram weight. As we do
not keep them in stock, I believed it
my duty to make him one, and it has
been some job. I made it from a strip
of gold-plated aluminum ware.
The weight, which hardly can be seen
with the naked eye, was tested on
scales in Mr. Buchtel's office, which
will weigh one-thirty-two-thousandths
of a grain, and was made by gradually
wearing away bits of the metal until
the right weight was obtained.
"I do not think Mr. Hanson ever will
have use for the weight," continued
Mr. Buchtel, "but I have the satisfac

Anderson and the Court will Ignore It

Dr. Van Brakle continues to express

"This communication is a hodge-podge
of reiteration that I have no legal
right to hold the office and a recon

time dismissed as having no bearing on
the situation.
"If the members of the State Board
feel that their decision is legal, they
probably are perfectly aware that the
courts of the state are always open to
them to prove such a contention, and
as I have constantly stated, whenever
either the State Board of Health or the
local physicians legally can prove that

cept such a decision and not any

The letter received by Judge Ander

ground that he is not the graduate of
