THE MORNING- OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1914. LAFFERTY HELD UP AS POOR MATERIAL Washington Progressive Nomi nee Sees "Yellow Streak" in Independent. PARTY JUMPS UPBRAIDED O. C. Hanson, Candidate for United States Senute, Says Oregon Rep resentative Should Be Out Helping His Rival. "I have no use for a man who, when be is soundly thrashed, can't Btay whipped," declared . Ole Hanson, Pro gressive nominee for United States Sen . ator in the State of Washington, in speaking of A. W. Laft'erty. independent candidate for Congress in Multnomah County, before a large crowd in Scan dinavian Hall Tuesday night. Although Mr. Hanson's speech was, in the main, a simple appeal for sup port of the Progressive principles gen erally, he alluded several times to Rep resentative Lafiierty, whose action in running independently after his defeat at the Republican primaries last Spring he seemed particularly to resent. "Lafferty says he is independent, " ex claimed Mr. Hanson. "He ran the first time as a Republican, then as a Pro gressive and again as a Republican, and now when he is beaten he comes out independent. "A man like that must have a yellow etreak. If I wasn't game enough to Btay whipped after once I had been counted out I'd deserve never to be elected to anything. "If he'd have any good principles about him he'd get in now and help elect the man who defeated him." Independence Is Disliked, Mr. Hanson asserted that he has lit tle sympathy for the man who can't find a place in either the Republican, the Democratic the Progressive, the Socialist or one of the other regularly organized parties. There is no place In his category for the Independent candidate who once has been 4eleated in the party primaries. At another time Mr. Hanson referred in amusing style to Laft'erty. It was when ho was speaking of the investi gation recently conducted by a Govern ment commission into the farm loan systems of Europe. "The commission was composed, M he said, "of a body of honest, upright, able men and Congressman Lafterty, of Portland." The speaker dwelt at considerable length on the farm loan question. He declared that a proper system of farm loans would bring about the effective agricultural and industrial development of the Northwest. He proposed that the Government remove the restrictions on postal savings bank deposits, pay a higher rate of interest on them and lend the money to farmers at a 1 per cent advance. Wilson la Praised. He praised President Wilson for his peace policy and denounced those citi zens who are "constantly screaming for war." Modern civilization demands aboli tion of warfare, he said, and predicted tiiat the time soon will come when all warships will be sunk. He criticised the Democrats of the South for failing to abolish child labor, either in their own states or through Congressional action. He declared that it is the opposition of the Southern Democrats in Congress that prevents passage of effective child labor laws. . "I don't know anything about the tariff,' he said in brief reference to that subject, "and neither do you." ;"I never saw a man or woman who did know anything about the tariff. They think they do, but they don't. ; Tariff Rout Advocated. ""The tariff question ought to be taken out of politics and placed in the hands of a nonpartisan commission." He admonished his hearers ever to be ready to leave their party for the sake of principle. -'you're American citizens before you are Republicans, before you are Uemocrats and before you are Pro gressives," he said. -'Mr. Hanson will hold a bonfire rally at Vancouver tomorrow evening. The Democrats also have a meeting sched uled, but refused to divide the time with Hanson, although the chairman of the Progressive County Committee offered to pay all expenses. Hanson had several thousand at his bonfire rally in Spokane and a large attendance is expected. The bonfire will be built at the City Park. EAST ARMY REINFORCED t.tKMANS RETREAT, HOWEVER, SAYS PETUOUKAD. Two Columns of Czar's Troops Advanc ing; ThronBh Hungary to Join Servians. ' LONDON. Oct 7. The Russian offi cial statement given out at Petrograd today deals only with the situation on the frontier of East Prussia. It says tliat the Germans have been reinforced from Koentgsberg and that their posi tions are under a heavy artillery fire. : A Petrograd dispatch received by way of Paris says the Germans are it-treating along the East Prussian frontier. : News from Budapest, received here l way of Koine, says Russians invad ing Hungary with the intention of ef fecting a junction with the Servians, are advancing in two columns. One column is making an assault on Hoss-zuinezo-Dlhepolje (in northwest Hun tsary). 6t miles southeast of Olmutz, and the other is rapidly descending the valley of the Nagyan against Huszt province of MarniarosJ, au miles northeast of Depreczen. : The Servians are also reported to have begun a northeast advance from tm.'in. The correspondent of the Post in IVtrograd in a story contrasting Rus sian and German strategy to the dis advantage of the latter says: - "Instead of following sound military principles of seeking out the enemy's strength and endeavoring to smash it, the Germans seem to follow the lines oi least, resistance. "Both the great German defeats in . ialicta and in Western Russia exem plify the same defects in tactics of following the line of least resistance. 3r. both cases the Russians caught Itiem in precisely the same trap. In the latter case the Russians left a ?ap of 20 miles open like a mousetrap door and the Germans marched gaily in. They found no opposition until they n-.et an unpleasant surprise at the fantastic bends of the river Niemen and, while they were trying to cross tho Nienien. the jaws of the trap closes upon them. According- to another dispatch from Petrograd, the Bourse Gazette learns that, owing to favorable news from the seat of war, subscriptions will be invited for an internal loan of 500. 000.000 rubles (250,000,000) at 5 per cent. A writer in tho Army Gazette esti mates that the war with Germany will drag on for a S'ear because the Win ter campaign cannot have an intensive character. The fighting will, however, break out again in the Spring, with its previous fury, he says. FHEXCH COXTEXT TO REST Newspapers, Mail and Tobacco Arc Given Men in Trendies. LONDON, Oct. 7. The correspondent of the Times at Epernay, France, tele graphing under date of Sunday, says: "The battle of the French Rivers has entered upon its fourth week and un less some flanking movement is car ried through there appears no reason why the titantic tragedy should not continue for a long time. "Now that the perfection of the Ger man trenches is rivalled by those of the allies it has become a. struggle in which one is pitted against an invisible foe who is never seen until he springs suddenly from his hiding place. The countryside along the Aisne is a vast military rabbit warren. Both sides are resolutely determined not to give ground. The Germans are continually delivering attacks and counter attacks, but the allies are not making any definite attempt to ad vance in this regiou. They are con tent for the time being with beating back all German attacks and are not trying to occupy the enemy's trenches. "The forces of the Germans are worn by hard campaigning and frequent at tacks, while the allies' troops are fresh because they are frequently rested and changed. One feature of the allies' stonewall policy Is that the casualties ou the allies' side have been very slight recently. "Everything possible is being done to relieve the men from the strain of waiting. Tobacco and newspapers are provided and mail is delivered regular ly. The strain of waiting has been especially severe on the African troops. "One of the most useful articles of the German war equipment is a sky rocket which gives a powerful illum ination lasting 40 seconds above the ranks of the enemy, enabling the Ger man artillery officers to obtain an ac curate range of the trenches." GERMANS ATTACK VIGOROUSLY Great Force of Cavalry Disproves Report of Glanders in Horses. FROM THE BATTLE FRONT, via Paris, Oct 7. German cavalry made its reappearance on the scene of action in great force today, thus disproving the reports that all of its horses had been rendered useless owing to an epidemic of the glanders. The allies' extended front has met with vigorous counter attacks on the part of the Germans, who seem to have weakened their position on the center of the battle line in order to throw heavy masses of men'against the right and left wings. The allies, although forced back short distances at some points on their left, have been gen erally able to hold their own. The eastern wing also was the scene of severe combats today, but there the battle was between Infantry and artil lery, and the allies were able to push forward. In the center, where the infantry had been deeply intrenched since the beginning of the battle, the French and English commanders took the op portunity to relieve many regiments which had been on the advanced firing line. Two brigades of British troops, chiefly Highlanders, had not had re lief for 13 days. They had burrowed so well that their casualties were un important, but the men were thorough ly exhausted from continued watchful ness and the incessant boom of the guns. It is currently reported at the front that the Germans took 200 civilians with them when they departed from Roye. DR. G. J. SMITH ROBBED DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE'S HOUSE IS LOOTED SECOND TIME. Burirlara Armed With Key Enter When Family Is Away, but Take Little of Value From Rooms. For the second time this year bur glars entered the home of Dr. C. J. Smith, Gubernatorial candidate, at 1254 East Twenty-second street, Tuesday night, securing some jewelry, but little else of value. Entrance was effected through the rear by means of a skele ton key. The robbers entered between 8:30 and 3:15 P. M., as that was fie only time that the house was vacated. Upon her return from a visit with friends. Mr. Smith found the house had been robbed. Dr. Smith was out of town, but was expected home later at night. The house has been the mark of burglars several times. It is reported that twice during the time it was occu pied by its owner, Mrs. E. W. Langdon, it had been entered. Dr. and Mrs. Smith rented the residence about eight months ago. The latter part of last June prowlers forced an entrance while the family was away and secured more than $300 worth of jewelry and silver. The house had only been left for 43 minutes last night, the maid leaving but a short time before Mrs. Smith returned. BIG EATERS GET KIDNEY TROUBLE Take Salts at First Sign of Blad der Irritation or Backache. The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is tilled with uric acid which the kid neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead: your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon ful in a glass of water before break fast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a ood kidney flushing any time. Adv. BAKER WINS STAR Miss Irene Oshier, New York, o Play Emotional Roles. TWO TO BE LEADING WOMEN New Member of Players to Take Heavy Portrayal and Miss Bonnie to Be Ingenue Record of . Actress Is Notable. A New York emotional actress of note is coming to Portland. Not for a week, but for a season. She is to Join the Baker Players and will play lead ing emotional roles in the emotional plays which George L. Baker has prom ised for this season. Miss Irene Oshier, of New York, one of the two first American women to play "Madame X," is the actress. Also she is the "surprise" which Mr. Baker promised Portland theatergoers on his return from New York a few weeks ago. Miss Oshier will arrive in Portland in about two weeks. She will join the company as leading emotional woman. Miss Bonnie Second Star. But this is not all. Manager Baker, following the profitable example set by Daniel Frawley in developing prom ising ingenue stars, has created a star ingenue billet in the Baker company, and Miss Cora Belle Bonnie, who has shown her versatility by playing light and heavy leads without making any fuss about it, will fill the niche. "The idea," said Mr. Baker yester day, "is to have two strong leading women one for big emotional plays, the other for plays which demand a keen, talented Ingenue. When I saw Miss Bonnie's work in the East I real ized I had the actress with whom I could hope to try out successfully this plan in Portland. I brought her to Portland with this understanding and then I began to try to sign up a lead ing woman who could take care of the emotional roles. I have just been able to close negoitations with Miss Oshier, who is still busy in New York, but who will come to Portland within two weeks. "Miss Bonnie has won the Baker pa trons from the start with her ingenue portrayals and we have been overwork ing her in carrying the heavier leads pending successful negotiations for an emotional actress which I promised as the 'surprise' for Portland when I re turned from the East. Success In Notable. "In Miss Oshier I think I have one of the foremost young emotional ac tresses of America. She began her ca reer under Blanche Walsh in 'The Res surrection, followed Dorothy Donnelly as 'Madame X,' the second woman to play the part in America, and she starred in 'The Poor Little Rich Girl." Besides these telling roles. Miss Oshier has done 'The Third Degree" for Henry Harris, and she was the first leading woman of the Municipal stock company of Northhampton, Mass., the first the atrical organization conducted by a city government in America. She has been leading woman for the Manhattan stock company in New York, and with the Davis stock company in Pittsburg and in other places. Actress to Appear Soon. "This is her first stock engagement in this part of the country, although she was in Portland a few years ago with Creston Clarke. Edwin Boothe's nephew, in 'The Power That Governs.'" Miss Oshier will leave New York Appetite Follows Good Digestion Nearly everyone indulges their appetite and digestive organs are abused, resulting in a congestion of poisonous waste that clogs the bowels and causes much misery ana distress. The most effective remedy to correct this condition Is the. com bination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. This is a natural, pleasant-tasting; remedy. gentle yet positive in action, and quickly relieves indignation, con stipation, sick headache, belchlnir. etc. urug stores sell Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, and in thousands of homes it is the in dispensable family remedy. For a free trial bottle write Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 451 WaahinKton St.. Monticello. 111. October 11, and will make lier first appearance with the Baker Players October 25, when "Bought and Paid For" will be produced under the direc tion of Thos. Coffin Cooke, stage di rector of the Baker Players. The coming of Miss Oshier will mean that the Baker repertoire this season will contain some of the foremost problem and emotional plays, as well as some of the liveliest farces and comedies released for stock production. Mr. Baker is negotiating for the re lease of a "laughing" drama in which Miss Bonnie will be starred Just before the holidays. CHILD SAVING IS FIRST LURELHIRST WOULD GIVE UP IV THEY PREVENT PLAY. Recreation Grounds for Conservation of Youngsters Proposed at Kerns School District Meeting. Conservation of children is of more importance than trees, -was decided Tuesday night at a meeting of the res idents of Kerns School District, and it was agreed that the proposed recrea tion center at Laurelhurst Park or on adjoining property be approved. The chairman was William M. Davis. It was pointed out that the present playground of Kerns School, near East Twenty-eighth and Couch streets. Is being much used by children of the district, but that the location is not ideal, because of tjie multiplicity of trolley cars going to and from the car barns. A better and safer location was thought to be the site of the proposed recreation center in Laurelhurst. One speaker, from Laurelhurst, hoped that the proposed playgrounds, swim ming pool, etc., at Laurelhurst might not poil the natural beauty of the lo cation, cause some of the trees to be cut down or interfere with the proposed artificial lake. "When it comes to the conservation of trees in beautiful Laurelhurst, or the conservation of children in the school district, let us prefer children every time." asserted another speaker. The Laurelhurst crowd said that it was not opposed to the erection of a recreation center in that district. The sentiment expressed at the meeting was unanimous. Much of the good result accomplished is due to the personal interest shown by Isaac Sweet, and Mrs. Angeline E. Watson, the latter principal of Kerns School, who made speeches.
