DEBATE FRIDAY NIGHT riiomas Mi. Hurlburt Grows Daily la Strength In Race for Sheriff and AVomen Voters Promise Support at Polls. Although the Republican state com mittee has received no reply from Gov rnor West to the last letter of Robert A. Booth, the Governor announced at Balem yesterday that he will accept Mr. Booth's invitation to meet him at the old Heilig Theater, Eleventh and Mor rison streets, next Friday night to dis. cuss Mr. Booth's qualifications for the United States Senatorship, for which office Mr. Booth is the Republican di rect primary nominee. It has been agreed that Mr. Booth will speak for half an hour, and that the Governor speak for an hour. Mr. Booth then will take half an hour to close, answering in that time, any charges that the Governor may ad vance. The time appointed lor the speakins to begin is 7:30 Friday night. With the possible exception of some of the boxes no reservations will be made. Those earliest on the ground will have the first choice of seats after the doors open. On account of the intense public in terest that has been aroused it is ex. peeted that the capacity of the theater will be taxed. Stenographic reports of the debate will be made so -that the newspapers may have opportunity of printing the speeches in full. The Oregonian has agreed to print all that each speaker says pertinent to Mr. Booth's campaign. In response to the Governor's re peated declarations that he will make "other charges," Mr. Booth recently in vited the Governor to appear on the same platform with him. make the charges in public and give Mr. Booth an opportunity of answering them. Governor Wst has indicated his wil lingness to debate, but has stipulated a number of conditions, all of which Mr. Booth, so far as is in his power, has met. Detailed arrangements now are in the hands of C. B. Moores and Bert K. Haney, respectively Republican and liemocratic fctate chairmen. A neutral chairman will be appointed. Thomas M. Hurlburt, Republican nominee for Sheriff, has been speaking In the last few days before various civic and improvement organizations. He has addressed scores of women voters and interested them in his can didacy. There has been much confusion among certain voters over the identity of tiie two Hurlburts-whose names ap pear on the ballot. The Republican county committee has fceen particular to call attention to the fact that Thomas M. Hurlburt, the party nominee for Sheriff, is worthy of and should receive the hearty support of every Republican, and that C. M. Hurlburt, who received the nomination for Representative in the Legislature from the Multnomah-Clackamas joint district, has been repudiated by his own party because he is disqualified. On account of promises that he made to introduce a relief bill for a friend with the understanding that he was to share in the proceeds, C. M. Hurlburt will not be able to take his seat, even if he is elected, the committee points out. Thousands of independent Republi cans, therefore, are supporting Roscoe P. Hurst, the Democratic nominee for the legislative office. All classes of Republicans, however, are supporting Thomas M. Hurlburt, the choice of a majority of the voters at the direct primary election for Sheriff. Dr. James Withycombe, Republican gubernatorial nominee, will go to Marion County today to meet the voters. Dr. Withycombe was in Clack amas County yesterday and will devote most of the remaining time in this campaign to Multnomah County. A Republican rally will be held by residents ot South Portland next Mon day evening in St. Michael's Hall, on Hall street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. It is probable that R. A. Booth, Dr. Withycombe. C. N. McArthur, nom inee for Congress, Thomas M. Hurl burt and others will speak. A number of Democratic speakers were heard last night in the Giencoe School, Fast Forty-ninth and Belmont streets. Colonel Robert A. Miller, one of the Democratic candidates for Gov ernor last May, was the principal speaker. Others who spoke were Mrs. Agnes McNaughton, Mrs. Nellie C. Hughes. Democratic candidate for Coro ner, and John B. Moon, candidate for the Legislature. Half, a dozen speakers addressed an audience in the Fast Side Library last night in the interests of William Han ley, Progressive candidate for United states Senator. Among the number were Ben Reisland, G. A Johnson, Miss Helen C. Wilson, Mrs. William Millar and Anne Shannon Monroe. Music was furnished by Miss Kdith Clark Patter son and Miss Nina Joy. At a well attended smoker of the Irish-American Fellowship Club held in Alisky Hall Tuesday evening the following candidates made addresses: Dr. James Withycombe, Republican candidate for Governor; William Hanley, Progressive candidate for United States Senate: B. E. Kennedy, recall candidate for Mayor; Oscar W. Home, Republican candidate for Leg islature; Tom Sweeney, Progressive candidate for County Commissioner; E. P. Burke. Independent candidate for Constable. There was a musical pro gramme and a clever exhibition of boxing. Patrick Powers, W. P. Lillia and Edward J. Ryan had charge of the entertainment features. John Kenny, president of the Irish-American Fellow ship Club, presided. Prompt investigation revealed to the bewildered Day that his neighbors had been provoked into their spirit of jol lity by an improvised signboard in his front yard, which bore the flaming announcements of all the Democratic and Progressive candidates on the state and county tickets the obvious mis chief of his household guests the night before. Milton A. Millerr- Collector of Inter nal Revenue, has gone to Marshfield to make a series of speeches for the Democratic candidates. He will visit Bandon, North Bend, Myrtle Point and other Coos Bay towns. Sample ballots for the forthcoming peneral election are being distributed. The sheets are exactly one yard long and contain the names of 142 candi dates, besides the 29 measures submit ters to the voters either by Initiative or for the referendum. Nearly every candidate, as well as the advocates of the various measures and the various party headquarters, are well supplied with sample ballots, which are receiv ing close scrutiny by the voters. 'Union County will deliver a hand some majority for the Republican can didates November 3," said J. H. Peare, or La Grande, who was in Portland yesterday. "A far as Eastern Oregon is concerned, this is a Republican year, liven Baker County, which has been somewhat of a Democratic stronghold, will give a majority for the leading Republican candidates, in my opinion. "In regard to the Senatorial situa tion. Eastern Oregon will poll a big vote for Mr. Booth. Umatilla and Union counties will give him large majori ties. "Dr. Withycombe will carry Union County with plenty of votes to spare. Wallowa County will give a good ac count of itself and we count on Baker County to give him a substantial ma jority. It will not be surprising If Dr. Withycombe should carry Umatilla, Dr. Smith's home county. "The lumber interests In both Union and Baker counties have been bard bit by the removal of the duty on lumber. Most of the mills have been forced to cut wages 10 per cent. They are not making any profit, even with that re duction. The business interests and the working classes have had about enough of Democratic rule. The voters in our section of the state will express them selves in no uncertain terms at the coming election." Mr. Peare is chairman of the Repub lican committee of Union County and is a member of the Republican state executive committee. Judge Stephen A. Lowell arrived In Portland last night and will make a series of speeches in Western Oregon within the next few days on the "dry' amendment. He spoke at the Men's Resort last night and will speak at Pacific University, Forest Grove, this morning. He will deliver an address at Reed College tomorrow morning and will be the guest of honor at a banquet in Oregon City tomorrow night, and will address a public meeting in Ore gon City on the "dry" issue.

Tom Sweeney, Progressive candidate for County Commissioner, has just re turned from Toledo, Wash., where he has completed a contract on a section of the Pacific Highway. Mr. Sweeney will remain in Multnomah County until election and announces that he will make an aggressive personal campangn. He will make his experience as a road builder one of his campaign arguments. P. E. Greauld, of Selma, proprietor of the Selma orchards, advises the Re publican state committee that his dis .trict will "line up strong for the Re publican ticket. "I expect that we'll give the state and county candidates on the Republi can ticket a good majority," writes W. P. Simpson, of Algonia, in a letter re ceived yesterday by E. D. Baldwin, sec retary of thej Republican state commit tee. . A recent poll, impartially taken among some of the employes at the Portland Union Stockyards, gives the following results: Booth 23, Hanley 3, Chamberlain 15, Withycombe 25, Smith 17, wet 16, dry 24. Senator Chamberlain spoke yesterday in Ashland and Medford. He will be in Gold Hill, Grants Pass and other points in Jackson and Josephine coun ties today. Senator Harry Lane is on his way to Portland from Washington, D. C, and probably will arrive here on Saturday night. Senator Lane expects to take the stump for his colleague. Senator Chamberlain, during the. remaining 10 days of the campaign, following his arrival. Although the personal friends of Sen ator Lane Sim rememDer the unex plained failure of Senator Chamberlain to assist in the Lane campaign two years ago. it is apparent that "party expediency" has overcome, for the time being, the incompatibility of Oregon's two Senators, and both will work, un til iMovemoer s, at least, for "party narmony" ana "party success. One of the best jokes of the cam paign is that sprung recently on "Jack Day, treasurer of the Republican county committee. "Jack" is such an ardent, uncompro mising, back-fire double-action Repub lican, that his neighbors either have to join the Republican party or refrain from expressing their political views when he is within hearing distance. " Well, the other night there was a party at the Day domicile and most of the guests stayed reasonably late. Under the circumstances "Jack" didn't fee! like getting up very early the next morning and he was aroused from his slumber only by the sounds of laughter penetrating through his front bedroom window. When he got up he found a group of neighbors on the sidewalk In front of his house in hearty "haw haws" and offering facetious comment on "Jack's" loyalty to the Republican cause. Thomas M. Hurlburt, Republican nom inee for Sheriff, and Roscoe P. Hurst, Democratic nominee for the Legislature, addressed the Alberta Women's Im provement Club at the residence of Mrs. Josephine R. Sharp. 1033 East Twenty-fourth street North, Tuesday night. Mr. Hurlburt's attitude on prison reform made a profound impression upon the 25 or 30 women present. Mr. Hurst explained that his opponent, C M. Hurlburt .who is repudiated by Re publicans generally, is in no way re lated to Thomas M. Hurlburt. Ex-Governor Geer will go to Halsey, Linn County, next week to speak for the candidates on the Republican tick et. Governor Geer expects also to make additional speeches for the Re publican candidates before the close of the campaign. To the Ladies of Portland MRS. KATE J3.

JURY SMILES IN TRIAL Defendant Says Dauebter of Man Who Accuses Him, Wore Shoes and Gloves Found In Burned Home Prosecution Rests. Chosing Philio Davis. Ktar wHhmr for the prosecution, as the goat, the defense in the Max Albert arson trial tried a flanking movement yester day and sought to lay blame for the fire in Albert's home in Alberta upon him. The theory of the defense Is that the fire was incendiary and Davis, an enemy of Albert, set it. in support of this line of counter t. tack by the defense. Albert on th stand in his own behalf, told a nartir. ularly weird story that caused some of tne jurors to smile. The defendant said that while walking with his wife in South Portland two months after the lire they passed the daughter of Davis. who was wearing a Pair of white shoes and white silk gloves that belonged to irs. jiiDert and which disappeared meir uume at tne time or tne lire. Aloert said he was certain of the shoes because of a black spot on one of them, and he identified the gloves because of the spot on the shoes. His wife, he said, wanted to take the shoes una B'oves on tne gin in tne street. but he restrained her, . and the Davis girl went on her way in the alleged Dil fered finery without any of the trio speaking to one another. Questioned AiDert said he had complained to no one of the alleged theft, nor had he told it until the present trial. The fire that forms the basis of the trial was In November, 1912. Although firemen and neighbors, who entered the Albert home as soon as the fire was discovered, testified there was practically nothing of value in the place at that time, the following day, when tne insurance adjuster arrived. he Artistic Haines Bros.

It is the contention of the state that this stuff was brought to the house after the fire. S744 jonn Asserted. 'The place looked almost as if the people living there had moved away,' testified Detective Hammersly, who vis ited the Albert home shortly after the Are was extinguished. B. W. Rubin, insurance adjuster, who went to the house the following day. exhibited Albert's proof of loss, which the two made up at that time, in which claim was made for tiii on clothing and other effects damaged by fire. . A number of suits of clothes belong ing to Albert and dresses, the property of his wife, were on this list. But although the defendant was questioned persistently by Deputy District Attor ney Collier in regard to this clothing, he could not remember where or when he had bought a single suit. He also bought the dresses for his wife, he tes tified, but he could not recall where they were purchased. If Albert could have told where he bought the clothing, the state would have been able to check up the al leged purchases. But the best directed efforts on the part of the prosecution to learn who were the tailors lor Mr. and Mrs. Albert failed of their purpose. Alibi Is Outlined. Albert did. not acquit himself well on ccoss-examination. Clothing to the value of ?621. he testified, belonging to himself and wife, was kept in a single closet, the exact measurements of which were but a trifle over 2 by 4 feet. The defendant outlined his alibi yesterday in full. The day and night of the fire he was at his store and at the home of a friend where a party was held to announce his sister's en gagement. This part of his story came rippling from his tongue; the narrative did not halt and turn as in the attack of the prosecution on cross examination. Philip Davis, at that period of his checkered career an industrious milk man, who exercised his firebug pro clivities as a side line, testified he was Albert's landlord until a few weeks be fore the fire and that Albert suggested to him they have a fire, burning the tenant's furniture and the landlord's house, thereby collecting royally from the insurance companies. Davis ta booed this suggestion, be said. Shortly afterward Albert moved to the Sumner street residence, two blocks away, where the fire was. Grad;e Is Allcgrd. Albert said on the stand yesterday that he needed a larger house and moved for that reason. Leaving the Davis house vacant, he said, angered his former landlord and he held a grudge against him. Davis admitted his criminal propen sities in the arson line yesterday while on the tand. He maintained that, al CASH Interest.

The defense has a number of wit nesses, who will testify that Davis is a bad character and unworthy of be lief. John Ditchburn, an attorney, was the first .of these and his testimony concluded yesterday's session. He said the reputation of Davis is bad and he would not believe him under oath.

There is a fascination about playing the Haines Bros.' Player Pianos which appeals to all classes, not only to' those whose musical education has been neglected, but particularly to cultivated mu sicians; for now they can play the compositions of all the great masters, when, formerly, they could play but a comparatively few. The Haines Bros.' Player Piano will impart a broadening knowledge of the world's .greatest composers, which is a musical education in itself. Think how many have spent time and money even going to Europe to acquire this knowledge in the old -way. Here Ton "Will Pind Good Tone. Cabinet grand upright pianos.
