STATEMENT OF MAYOR AUEE.
"The. only statement I wish to
make at this time is that If it is the
.will of the people that I should be
removed as Mayor I am ready to
step down. But I do not believe it
Is. the will of the people. The whole
recall movement has come because
certain persons and certain interests
have not sot what they wanted. I
have not played politics at any stage
of the pime. There is where the
trouble is.
"Not . that any of those who are
. seeking my recall now had any occa-
Eton to expect me to play politics. I
made that very clear all through my
. campaign - and I have remained by
that policy. . Had I "played the. game
of politics there would not now be
this recall movement.
"At this time I do not wish r to
enter into any details or deal In any
personalities. Possibly the other side
. will. At that. time I will feel more
at liberty to tell some of the things
which have prompted the recallers to
"act. I do not take it that there is
. any-great number of persons demand
ing my recall because I have indis- -'.
putable proof of underhand methods
- employed in getting signers to the
petitions. .
Recall petitions, bearing: approxi
mately 9800 names, were filed with
City Auditor Barbur yesterday against
Mayor Albee - and City Commissioners
Iieck and Brewster. They were filed
by a committee comprising: M. E. Gib
son, C. W. Hohlt and A. C. Allen, which
committee has headed the recall' move
ment, which has been under way- for
about two months.
- B. E. Kennedy, a. real estate man, is
the recall candidate lor Mayor; W. E.
l.eet, an attorney, is candidate against
Commissioner Brewster and H. E. Abry,
an employe of the United States En
gineering: - Department, - is candidate
against Commissioner Dieck. "While no
public announcement has been made, it
is known that ex-Mayor Rushlight
plans to enter the race for Mayor, and
It is said to be certain that there will
be- a number of other candidates for
the Coramissionerships.
Under the provisions of the recall
amendment the officers are given five
lays in which to resign. After that
the City Auditor Is obliged to call a
cnalal al .ic t inn u'ftlifn 1 1 Have A.1 -j vfir
Albee and Commissioner Dieck both an
nounced yesterday that they would not
resign. Commissioner Brewster is out
of the city. This means that the elec
tion will be held unless legal compli
cations set in.
Tt is considered certain at the City
Hall that the filing ofs the petitions
will bring about a. test of the stand
ing of the recall -in this state. "While
under the recall amendment to the
state constitution provision is made
for the calling of a special recall elec
tion within 25 days after the filing
of the recall petitions. It is believed
the present recall will not be held
within that time because of the ques
tion being taken into the courts.
Legality Is Questioned.
According to City Attorney LaRoche
the recall amendment to the constitu
tion contemplates additional legisla
tion by the State Legislature, which
legislation has never been attended to.
The amendment, Mr. LaRoche says, pro
vides for the recall and fixes some
of the maximum conditions. It con
templates an act by the Legislature
defining the methods of procedure. As
the recall law stands now, it is said
there are no definite provisions set down
us to procedure.
The special election asked for by the
recallers in their petition would cost
the city between $20,000 and $25,000,
according to the estimate of City Aud
itor" Barbur. -
If this is done Mayor Albee and Com
missioner Dieck say it will have to
come from someone beside themselves.
Both said yesterday that they would
do nothing to prevent the recall elec
tion from being held. Commissioner
Brewster is out of the city and could
not be reached last nigbt.
' Inefficiency Is Cbarscd.
In the petitions as filed by the re
callers the three officials are charged
with inefficiency. The petition against
Mayor' Albee reads. "(1) He has vio
lated his oath of office and the city
charter by retaining his position as
Keneral manager of an insurance com
pany since his election as Mayor of
Portland. This amounts to using his
official position as Mayor to increase
the business of his insurance company.
(2) He is unfit for the office because
he Is entirely lacking in efficiency and
stability and during his administration
Tiia wobbling policies have been detri
mental to the business and industrial
life of the community. (3) Under his
administration many competent and
worthy employes of the city have been
discharged without just cause or reason
and contrary to the spirit of the Civil
Service law. (4) His management of
the city business is extravagant.'
The petitions against Commissioners
Dieck and BrewBter are identical. They
read in each case, "(1) His adminis
tration of his department has been ex
travagant. 2) He is unfit for office
because he is entlrelv lacking in sta
bility and good Judgment and the ad
ministration of his department has
been detrimental to the business and
Industrial life of the city. (3) Under
his administration many competent and
worthy employes have been discharged
without just cause or reason and con
trary to the spirit of the Civil Service
law."
Cesal Advice AVnated.
City Auditor Barbur put clerks to
work checking up the petitions as soon
as they were filed yesterday. It was
found that there were 9796 names on
the Albee petitions: 9791 on the Dieck
petitions and 9809 on the petitions
against Brewster. The petitions were
accepted for filing at 5 P. M.
"With the filing of the petitions the
recall - committee issued a general
statement, in which their views are
given in detail. In this it is declared
the petitions were circulated volun
tartly and signers were not difficult to
find. It is declared that Mayor Albee
has no backbone and made a false oath
when he took office. "Mr. Albee de
clared, when he tok office," reads the
statement. "tht he had no other busi
nesa and swore to this. As a matter of
fa.ct, be was running an insurance of

partnership with E. W. Amesbury.
and the business is now being carried
on under -the title of Albee & Ames-
bury. If Mr. Albee had disposed of
his interests prior to the taking of of
fice, how was he able to take Mr.
Amesbury into partnership January 2,
1914?"
Petty Dealing Asserted.
The statement suys Mr. Dieck has
wasted the city's money on theoretical
schemes and has been petty in his deal-
ngs wilh employes. It is said against
Mr. Brewster that for personal reasons
he attempted to oust Russell Chamber-
am, a veteran City Hall Janitor, from
the service, and even took the case into
the courts.
'While the election," reads the state
ment, "will cost the city- a little, it will
be economy. These three members of
the Commission are wasting monthly
far more money than the cost of the
election. ,
'We know the courts will decide In
favor of the recall."
The statement is signed by M. E.
Gibson, C. W. Hohlt and A. C. Allen.
tandldntes Are Announced.

call committee's candidate for Mayor,

STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER
DIECK.
"I shall offer no particular oppo
sition to the recall movement. If it
is the will, of the majority of., the .
people I will quit. 1 do not believe,
however, that it is tho will of. the
voters. The petitions filed against
me make no specif 1c ' charges except
what can be- made against any per
son in public life and. therefore X
have no answer.
"The figures showing cost of oper
ating my department are available
to the public. They' show whether
I have been extravagant -or not.'
They have been less than during the
correspond1!!:: period under the old
administration."

tion, but was unsuccessful.

the story as to why he and . Mayor

bee's campaign. He says that Mayor Al
bee, after the election, refused to pay his
campaign bills., shifting that respon
sibility to himself (Kennedy). T. B.
Nouhausen and the Progressive party.
Mayor Albee declares the story or
Mr. Kennedy is absolutely false.
Mr. IlahliKht "Considering;.
Mr. Albee says be Impressed particu
larly upon Mr. .Kennedy that he need
expect no political favors or position.
I was urged into thev campaign
gainst my own will and judgment.
and when I did finally consent to run
it was with reluctance and with the
positive and unqualified understand
ing that I would not pay out a cent.
As soon as the recall petitions were
filed yesterday the recall candidates
got their nominating petitions out and
started to circulate them. It has been

Reductions on 500 Commodi
ties Announced.
TARIFF REVISION LARGE
From 15 to 2 0 to 40 Per Cent Cuts
In Effect by American-Hawaiian
Line Between Port land and
New York Ports.
Reductions on 500 commodities in
carload and less-than-carload lots, that
range from 15 to 20 per cent and in
some cases 40 per cent, have been made
by the American-Hawaiian between !
Portland and New Vork that became
effective October 1, C. D. Kennedy.
Portland agent for the fleet, having
been officially apprised yesterday.
Soon after the opening of the Panama
Canal comparatively few rates were
lowered, effecting canned goods, iron
and steel and shipments which were
movjng in large quantities, and infor
mation arriving yesterday shows that
there virtually has been a complete
revision of he tariff.
The cut is5 cents on 100 pounds
relative to certain goods and as high
as $1 on others, such consignments as
skeletons, which took a rate of $7 are
now handled for to, which no doubt
11 interest the medical profession.
The highest rate the company had, $8
on boxed wax figures, drops to $7.
On general hardware there is a 40 per
cent reduction and the charge on
transporting cutlery is lowered from
$4 to $2.50 and such things as manl
cure sets from $4 and $5 to $1.
The immense amount of business be
ing moved via the canal is said by
shipping authorities to be - much
greater than was looked for at such
an early period and as not a large
amount of new business has been de
veloped, the railroads are said to have
lost to the water routes. For that rea
son there is to be a cut inthe trans
continental rail tariff, a measnre that
is being considered by he Transconti
nental Freight Bureau, which is in ses
sion at Chicago.
Independent Lines Busy,
Another angle of interest to shippers
is the inauguration of service between
the. two coasts by four Independent
steamship lines,' and though it is rea
soned that they will bid largely for
lumber business eastbound. they will
seek return cargoes from the Atlantic
side of just such material as is now
being handled by the regular lines, so
it is not improbable there will be fur
ther reductions effecting such bulky
cargo as the new lines will seek. .
As soon as the war ends, opine ex
porters and importers, there is certain
to be a readjustment of freights be
tween Pacific Coast ports and those in
Europe, as owners now having " ton
nage tied up are anxious to recoup
revenues lost owing to the conflict. Be
sides, manufacturers abroad are fearful
lest their business be usurped by the
Japanese and others in supplying the
American -market- -
When the war began countless or
ders for Christmas stock and the like
are reported to have been cancelled, as
the interruption of service on the At
lantic, combined with the shutdown
of European plants, make it impos
sible to guarantee delivery.
x Several Snips Coming.
The American-Hawaiian has compiled
its second tentative schedule to cover
October and November sailings that
provides for the arrival of the steamer
Navajo here Tuesday with cargo
brought ' from New -York on other
steamers that was reshipped at San
Francisco, but she is to be. followed
October 10 by tbe liner Georgian, Oc
tober 17 by the Montanan, October 21
by the Nebraskan. October 25 by the
Kentuckian. November 5 by the Hono-
lulan. November 1 4 by the Iowan and
November 18 by the Dakotan.
The Navajo departs October 8 with
cargo that will move from San Fran.
Msco on the Columbian for Charleston.
Philadelphia "and New York and the
Georgian loads for Boston and New
York, proceeding via Puget Sound, the
Montanan loading for New. York, the
Nebraskan for New York and Boston,
Kentuckian for New York by way of
Honolulu, the Honolulan and Iowan

TO RUN AGAINST THEM IN THE
the Chinese crew of the Hamburg
American liner Saxonia, which is tied
up- here on account of the war. has
refused an offer of double pay f6r a
voyage to Australia and back on the
Norwegian freighter Henrik Ibsen. They
now are loafing and drawing pay, and
are well satisfied with their situation.
The Hamburg-American Company must
send the Chinese to Hongkong if It
wishes to be rid of them.
ATLANTIC 13 NEAKIXG POUT
Portland to Greet ; First r Boston
Pacific's New Canal Fleet.
Due at San Francisco today is the
liner Atlantic, of the Boston-Pacific
fleet, a maritime organization fostered
by the old limery interests of Boston,
which is on her ..maiden voyage and
after discharging in the south proceeds
here to unloaj the last of her freight
and work an outward cargo for the
Massachusetts harbor.
The coming of tbe Atlantic means
that Portland is favored by three of
the big lines operating in the intra
Coast trade by way of the Canal, the
American-Hawaiian having taken care
of Portland shipments for. years and
W. R. Grace & Co., since they inaugur
ated service last season, with their
'Santa" fleet. Following the Atlantic
Is the steamer Pacific, both being new
ships.- Space ' engagements are being
made on the Atlantic by Statter & Co.,
Portland agents, who say- that suffix
cient business has been placed to war
rant the Atlantic " turning back from
Portland, though the Pacific will ex
tend her maiden voyage as faras Puget
Sound.
Only one of the four established lines
through the CanaJ is not including
Portland in its direct itinerary, that
boing the Luckenbach fleet, which
makes the Golden Gate its Pacific ter
minus. Goods handled by those vessels
for ' Portland are trans-shipped on
coasters.

and, while Thursday the bark Havlla

The British steamer Mexico City
finally left the harbor yesterday morn
in and made a fair run to Astoria.
Repairs to her wireless and a delay in
clearing the vessel were responsible fori
her detention, she goes direct to C.al
lao Evidence that no time Is lost here
by vessels when properly managed was
shown in the arrival at Astoria yester
day of the Grace liner Santa Clara,
which finished working cargo here
about 9 o'clock Thursday night and
left down, reaching Astoria before 7
o'clock so as to take on 1000 tons of
salmon. and 250 tons of flour. Unless

We have Bwussels carpet."
