CITY ATTORNEY EXPLAINS Ex-Major Itushligbt and Dr. George Parrlsh Enter Race Five As- . ptrants Xow lasted Kecall V Act Called "Jumble." MR. BREWSTER SAYS HE WILL FIGHT RECALL, "I shall not resign, and if neces sary I'll make an active canpai?n to hold -my office," -said XV. L. Brew ster. City Commissioner,' upon his return to Portland last flight from Denver. He had learned of the re call proceedings on the train only a fjw hours before arriving in Port land. "I don't think the people of Port land want to vote public officials out of office without sufficient reason. I don't believe they favor a. recall un less there )s urgent need for It. 'There is no crisis in our city gov ernment to Justify a recall. I am prepared to defend my administra tion In every particular." Coincident with the definite an nouncement yesterday that ex-Mayor Hushlight would be a recall candi date against Mayor Albee and that Dr. Geoi-ge .Parrish would be a candidate ag-ainst Commissioner Dieck. City At torney Ta Roche issued a legal opinion In which he says there must be sub mitted to the vote of the people in the recall election the direct question of whether the officials sought to be re called shall be recalled. Jf the ma jority of voters lo not vote for the recall the vote for the various can didates under the preferential system will not count. It had been feared that if a number of candidates entered the field the vote would be so split by reason of the preferential system involving voting on first, second and third choice, that the strongest man might not win. It was feared that under the preferential system the voters would not pass- di rectly upon the question of recalling the officials sought to be recalled. Recall in Question Korfn. The opinion of City Attorney La Ttoche. which has been prepared for the benefit of City Auditor Barbur, "who is preparing for the election, holds there must be submitted on the ballot the direct questions, "Shall H. R. Al bee be recalled as Mayor"? and "Shall Robert G. Dieck be recalled as Com missioner"? and "Shall William I JSrewster be, recalled as Commissioner"? The voters are to vote "yes" or "no" on each of these questions. In the case of Mayor Albee, if the majority vote is against the recall, the vote . on candidates will count for naught, even though some candidate other than Mr. Albee gets the majority of votes. Majority vote against the re call means defeat of the recall. The same applies individually to each of the Commissioners against whom the re call is aimed. Rushlight and Parrish Enter. Announcement of the candidacy of ex-Mayor Rushlight had been expected for several days. It was finally made yesterday afternoon with the an nouncement of Dr. George Parrish as a candidate against Commissioner Dieck. Both will seek public favor on the pol icy of economy, fewer laws and other promises. Mr. Rushlight declared that he had tried to stave off the recall until next Spring, believing that the officials should have at least two years in which to make good. He says that, inasmuch as the recall has been brought up at this time, he wants to get into the race, lie will commence the circulation of nominating petitions today. Dr. Parrish has been a resident of Portland for about nine vears, having come here from St. Louis. He says he has never before held or sought political position. He and Mr. Rush light will conduct a campaign" to gether. The platform of each will be: "If elected I will, during my term of office, advocate fewer laws, stricter enfurcemant. lower taxes, handle the public money the same as I handle mine, the office will be open to the public at all times, regardless of poli tics, religion or station in life." Aspirants Noir Five. The advent of these two into the race makes a total of live seeking the positions of Mayor Albee and Com missioners Dieck and Brewster. The two seeking election as Mayor are Mr Rushlight and B. 13. Kennedy, while those seeking Commissionerships are AV. A. Leet, H. E. Abry and Dr. Par rish. It is expected at the City Hall that an injunction against the recall will be sought on the ground that it entails useless expenditure of money R XV Raymond, of the Manufacturers Asso ciation, had a conference with City Attorney La Roche yesterday and an nounced that he may take the initia tive in contesting the standing of the recall amendment. It is said also that the Civic League and the Non-Partisan League are considering legal steps against the proposed recall election. Opinion Deemed Important. The opinion of City Attorney La Roche to the effect that the people will vote directly for or against the recall is considered the most important development since the filing of the re call petitions. Granting that the constitutional re call amendment is a self-executing law and authorizes, witlrout other legisla tion. ai election for the recall of the Mayor and Commissioners, a conclusion w inch is seriously doubted." said Mr I-a Roche yesterday, "we find two dis tinct provisions in the recall amend ment. "First, this measure provides for the determination of the question of the recall of the officer, and. secondlv. if the electorate determines to recall "him it then provides that candidates for his oifice may be nominated and voted upon at said special election. "The part of the law which provides for submission of the question of whether or not the officer shall be re called reads: 'If he (referring to the officer against whom a petition is filed) Khali not resign within five days after h!,iPtit,0j; islled a social election shall be ordered to be held . ., to determine whether or not the" people will recall said officer. . PP'e referring to said officer) shall con tinue to perform the duties of his of fice until the result of said special election shall be officially declareJ." majority Vote Required. "Here you have a complete provision for the submission to the electorate of the first question, shall they recall the officer or not? Then follows the second provision, 'other candidates for the of fice may be nominated to be voted for at said special election. The candidate who shall receive the highest number of votes shall be deemed elected for the remainder of the term whether it be the person against whom the recall pe tition was filed, or another.'. "So that at an election for the recall of the Mayor or one of the Commission ers a majority of the people may de cide to recall the officer and in the election for his successor, if he secures the needed vote, may succeed himself. Here you have an apparent contradic tion, as under the preferential system of voting it may be possible for a can didate who is recalled to succeed him self by a vote less than a majority. But this is of no great moment when one reflects that if some other can didate shall be chosen, he may be chosen in identically the same man ner by less than a majority vote. Act Termed "Jumble." "If this construction of the law is inapt and wrong and the preferential system of voting shall be used, then you would have the strange spectacle of recalling an officer simply by elect ing one of several candidates by pos sibly a minority "of the total vote cast. and between the two evils the first construction is not only the lesser of them, but seems to be the only, con struction that the law is capable of, giving to the words employed in this act their usual and ordinary value. The entire amendment seems to have been hastily and carelessly prepared and is certainly a Jumble." Although it had been reported that Dan Kellaher intended running for Mayor in case Mr. Rushlight announced his candidacy, Mr. Kellaher said yester day he would not enter the race. "I do not care to mix in a recall cam paign or election," he said. Investigation of the records in the Municipal Civil Service Bureau yester day revealed the fact that H. E. Abry, who is a candidate against Commis sioner Dieck, was in the city service n tituo as a surveyor, and that he failed to pass an examination January 25, 106. He served for a few months in 105 on temporary appointment.. In the examination in January, 1905, he failed to pass, receiving a rating of 55.25 per cent. In mathematics he re ceived only 10 points out of a pos sible 100. FIRE WITNESS STRUCK PLUMBER CALLED FIREBUG RE SENTS TESTIFIER'S REMARK. Prosecutor to Charge Assailant 'With Assault and Battery Burning of Sax Store Related Asaln. Internal dissensions in the so-called local "arson trust" broke into open hostilities yesterday at the close of the day's session of court, where Max Al bert is on trial for arson. Victor Gold stein, witness for the prosecution, was attacked in the Courthouse corridor a few moments after he stepped off the witness stand, by 13. Lavoff, a plumber, whom he had accused in his testimony of being a firebug. I he plumber stepped up to Gold stein and asked: "Did you say that I am a firemaker, too?" "Yes, I said so," was the reply. Then the air was full of flyiuir fists and the witness was struck three times in the face and knocked down. Attorney Malarkey asked Goldstein on cross-examination if h ltnw Lavoff. "Yes. I know him." reDlied the witness, "he is a firemaker, too." They all want to kill me." said Gold stein to the District Attorney, to whom he at once showed his wounds. A warrant charging assault and battery will be issued for the belligerent plumber. Victor Goldstein formerly was a friend of Max Albert, the defendant, in Russia. They came from the same village. They lived in New York for four years and, coming to Portland, they continued friends until last De cember, fiow they are bitter enemies. Goldstein says the strained relations came from the fact that Albert owed him $100 and refused to pay. He says Albert wrote to the wife of Goldstein in Russia, saying her husband was dead. This indirect revenge, makins: the wife of an enemy suffer, was re sented by Goldstein. While on the stand yesterday lie told. through an interpreter, what he knew of the workings of the alleged ring of firemakers. who are said to be re sponsible for many fires in this city during the past two years. He told over again the history of the Sax fire. upon which the prosecution of Max Al bert is based, as it was told to him by Albert and by others. On - cross-examination Goldstein showed he has strong dislikes. Asked t he had not said certain deroeatorv things about Albert to Frank Klick, the witness declared "He is a liar." The cross-examination sought to de velop that because of the feeling against Albert, Goldstein is not a trust worthy witness and does not tell the same story twice. . Adolph Harbeek, a janitor who cares for buildings adjoining the Sax store. at 207 First street, testified that he noticed the fumes of gasoline before the fire on the night of August 5, 1912. and shortly thereafter heard the ex plosion following the lighting of the fire. Fred Muller, a bartender in a saloon near the Sax store, testified that he smelled gasoline fumes on the night or tne lire and that L. Sax came into his place at a late hour that night. wnicn was unusual. Martin Pratt, chief deputy in Sheriff Word's office, was called as a witness to identify attachment papers that had been served on Sax in July, 1912, and which was released by the chattel mortgage. This judgment was paid in full a little later. NON-SUPPORT WINS DECREE Divorce Granted Bertha Lazinski From Pincus Lazinski. Spending his money in riotous living and failing to support her were grounds alleged by Bertha Lazinski against Pincus Lazinski, which won her a di vorce yesterday in Judge Gatens1 court. The custody of three children was given the plaintiff. Marie Smith was given a divorce from F. W. Smith by Judge McGinn, it being alleged that he had beaten and choked her. In the same court a de cree was given Anna S. from Evan J. Thomas, it being charged that the de fendant was cold and distant in his attitude and - neglected her. A decree was also given Carrie K B. Butler from D. W. Butler. Jacob W. Johnson sued Lucy Mae Johnson on the ground of desertion. ROBINSON FUNERAL TODAY Elks and Masons to Say Last Kites at Temple and Crematory. Funeral services for W.

Mlchie Is Basis or Suit to Be Heard by I inspectors at Coos Bay Game cock Sinking to Be Probed. "Carelessness and " negligence" are charged against Captain Bendergard, of the steamer .A. M. Simpson, by United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller and on which they will try the accused Monday at Marshfield. alleg ing that he failed to exercise due cau tion early in the season when his ves sel collided with the Government dredge CoL P. S. Michie, which was anchored inside Coos Bay, damaging the digger so she had to be brought to Portland for repairs. Inspectors Edwards and Fuller will leave here Sunday on the Geo. W. El der, accompanied by Arthur Merrill, clerk of the board. The dredge Michie is about to be placed in commission again through the passage of the rivers and harbors bill and Captain Reed and others of her crew will be summoned before the board Monday to testify. The Simpson proceeded to California after the collision, as she was out bound with lumber, and the testimony of her officers and those of the crew who were on duty was taken there and has been forwarded to Inspectors Ed wards and Fuller. Meanwhile the Michie was here for repairs and Captain Reed and his men testified. After considering all evi dence the inspectors have preferred charges. The Simpson was not partic ularly harmed by the accident, but the Michie was unable to operate on the bar without repairs. Another case on the calendar for the inspectors is that of the steamer Game cock, which struck a rock and went down near Sheridan's , Point, on the Middle Columbia, last month. She was raised and towed here for repairs, be ing now on the ways at the yard of the Portland Shipbuilding Company. Her stem and forefoot were carried away, planking torn off the port" side a distance of 25 or 30 feet, heavy tim bering in the hull broken and other harm done, but at that there is not as much damage as many supposed would follow the accident. At an investiga tion today Captain Zumwalt and offi cers of the Gamecock are to testify. xne Doard yesterday reinspected the speedy steamer Georgiana here and the steamer St. Johns id to be inspected Thursday. FIXCHLEV LOADS FOK KPSOM Knight of (lie Thistle on Berth at San Francisco for Kngland. To load the cargo of the British steamer Epsom, which went ashore at Carrera Point, August 9, when bound from Sydney, C B.. for Van couver, B. C, and Portland, the British steamer Finchley has been substituted. in taking the place of the Epsom it is assumed that the Finchley will pro ceed here and load whent for the United Kingdom, after discharging in rsrinsn t;olumtla. The British steamer Harrington Court, which was posted originally to sail from Galveston, October 22, to load wheat here for the United Kingdom, was reported to the Merchants' Ex change yesterday as having sailed from Pensacola on October 3. The British steamer Knight of the Thistle, which was listed to proceed here for grain, has been placed on the berth at San Francisco to load for England under engagement to G. XV. McXear. It is reported from San Francisco that the French ships Berengere and Bri zeux are on the free list there, their former charters having been cancelled. XOKWEGUX" SHIPS GAIXKKS All but One German Carrier Dropped From Grain Fleet En Koute. Showing how vessels of neutral na tions are benefiting from the European disturbance in the Northwest wheat trade is the fact on the list of vessels en route for grain, revised monthly by the Merchants' Exchange, are 13 Nor wegian vessels, while there are 18 British carriers, though the latter usually outnumber Norwegians two to one. Germany has a large fleet bound here, as a rule, but as so many char ters have been canceled, there is only one lone German coming, the Adolphus Vinnen, which sailed from Port Natal June 20. There are three French car riers, one each of the Russian. Danish and Dutch flag, and two Belgians. That the tonnage situation "has turned attention to available American carriers is indicated by a report cur rent the past few days that negotia tions have been under way to charter the American ship Wm. P. Frye. now at Bremerton, discharging coal loaded at Baltimore, and the American ship Dirigo, which reached Newport News from Ipswich September 21 and loads for this Coast. They .are wanted to transport wheat to England. CONTRABAND IS DECLARED London Information 1$ Tliat Condi tional Contraband Is Declared.

KUMERIC IS S.UNK BY E5LDEN Mistake in Name First Leads to Ke- ( port That Tymeric Was Lost. Now comes information that the Brit ish steamer Kumeric was sunk by the German cruiser Emden, off Bengal, and not the Tymeric or, as the name was first reported. Tumeric Like the Ty meric the Kumeric was a member of Andrew Weir & Co.'s fleet, and plied from here to the Far East, when Frank Waterhouse & Co. acted as Northwest agents. Captain Howie, her commander, was well known at Portland and on Puget Sound. The Kumeric had loaded cotton and grain at Galveston for Germany previous to the war and en route across the Atlantic was seized by the British and ordered to Queenstown. where she arrived August 4, and after discharging the German cargo was released. She proceeded to Liverpool and was sent from there September 10 for Calcutta, and was to have taken on cargo there for Boston and New York delivery.

Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and " loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and cloe you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, ami when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinKes. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Kither consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your phar macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then, act tine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimu late sluggish kidneys, also to neutra lize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weak ness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer vescent lithia-water drink.

Think over a few coffee-drinking friends and casually inquire if they are entirely and perfectly well and Juet how coffee treats them. If it hurts others, isn't it just possible ?

It's a Poor Bargain to s-wap health and a clear, business-like head for a few cups of coffee each day. - - Every coffee toper tries to wiggle round and charge his aches and ills to weather, overwork, too much or too little food, this, that or the other thing, but how he hates to admit that the real enemy is his Master, coffee.
