4 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATUIIDAT, JUNE 5, 1913. MR. DALY GALLED TO TASK Oil FACTS George Tuttle, Veteran Angler, Says Water Supply at Source Unlimited. MOST GOES TO WASTE Driest Months Show Only Little Kfrect on Stream AYhich Still Has More Than City Pipes Can Carry Away, lie Says. 'When Commissioner Daly, in his en thusiasm for metering the city, makes the statement that there is danger of shortage in the city's water supply from Bull Run River, he is either talk ing about something he doesn't know, or he is misstating the facts," said Cieorge Tuttle, of 729 Northup street, a veteran angler and Oregon pioneer who has lived in Portland since 1863, yesterday. "I have fished in the Bull Run River since 1863. I fished there and knew that stream before Mr. Daly was born. I have fished there since the city's first pipeline was installed, and also since the second pipeline was put in, in all seasons of the year when there was any fishing, and I have never seen the time when there wasn't at least as much water running unused down stream as flowed in through the in take. "Last February, March and April were the dryest Winter and Spring months Portland has had since 1863, in my recollection. I and L. P. W. Quim by, another pioneer and old-time an gler, fished up to the intake in April, the climax of the dry spell, and there was three times as much water flowing away as the pipes took in. . "August and September are the dry est months in the year and the only time when there could be a possible shortage of water. I have fished up to the intake many times in September, and since the second pipeline was in stalled, and there was never a time that I did not see as much water again as the pipes could take running over the spillway, i "Mr. Daly can talk about the danger of 'water shortage' to people who don't know that stream, but he can't make such arguments go with an old-timer like me, who knows the stream and has seen the intake under all condi tions. "If Commissioner Daly would put in larger distributing mains in the dis tricts where they are too small, a change that must be made in a very short time, anyway, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on in his meter cam paign." Another volunteer organization of prominent women has been formed to work among their friends in the inter est of George L. Baker for City Com missioner. The organization is an in formal one, and the members are women who ordinarily would not per mit the use of their names in politics. They are Mrs.' Warren E. Thomas, Mrs. James E. Appleby, Mrs. W. A. Bushong, Mrs. Harry Palmer. Mrs. John F. Logan. Mrs. Frank K. "W'atkins, Mrs. William Woodham, - Mrs. - A. T. Brown, Mrs. .Frank D. Butler, Mrs. C. J. Andrews, Mrs. .1. E. Davidson and Miss Grace O'Neill and Miss Elizabeth Wells. W. J. Patton, president of the Port land Rowing Club, Kenneth Beebe, commodore of the Portland Motor Boat Club, and Robert B. Bain, Jr., commo dore of the Oregon Yacht Club, have sent a. Joint letter to members of the three organizations in behalf of the candidacy for City Commissioner of C. V. Cooper. Mr. Cooper in his campaign Is promising that if elected he will work for better conditions in the appli cation of civil service rules under the city's civil service. He asserts that much injustice has been done city em ployes under civil service, and that the rules need remodeling. Monroe Goldstein, candidate for City Auditor, has been conducting a quiet, though active campaign, in which he has the assistance of many personal friends and volunteer workers. He has been accompanied at every meeting at which he has spoken by "Jet." a pet cocker spaniel, said to be the only liv ing animal survivor in Oregon of the San Francisco fire and earthquake. "Jet" can do almost everything but talk, but declines to discuss the cam paign. The Swedish 8inging Club has in dorsed Dr. George Parrlsh for City Commissioner. Dr. Parrish was a mem ter of the St. Louis Turn Verein years ago, and the Portland Turn Verein has also indorsed his candidacy. Dr. F. H. Dammasch, president of the Confed eration of German-Speaking Societies in Oregon, has written a personal let ter to his friends asking them to sup port Dr. Parrish. Another active sup porter of Dr. Parrish is Mrs. Mary P. Reynolds, clubwoman and property owner in the Lents district. Commissioner Brewster, who Is a candidate for re-election, speaking at a meeting in the Rose City skating rink. East Frist and Morrison streets, last night, reviewed his work in con nection with the city parks and play grounds, which he said were never in better condition than now. Commis sioner Brewster also spoke last night at a meeting in Gevurtz Hall, Front and Gibbs streets. George W. Caldwell, candidate Tor City Commissioner, spoke before stu dents and faculty and several invited guests at the Hill Military Academy yesterday morning. In the afternoon there was a meeting of Mr. Caldwell's campaign committee, at which plans were made to comb the city today with personal workers in his behalf. To day's work will end Mr. Caldwell's ac tive campaign. Commissioner Bigelow, who is seek ing re-election, explained his pubLic market policy in detail, and told how the Bureau of Finance has been han dled under his administration, at two meetings Thursday night. One was at the Rose City skating rnk. East First and Morrison streets, and the other at GeVurtz Hall, Front and Gibbs streets. Mr. Bigelow will speak at noon meet ings of Portland granges and at meet ings arranged for him in private homes In the Peninsula district today. Workers for William Adams for City Commissioner visited the factories yes terday. Today they will devote their attention to the wholesale houses of the city. Practically the whole city has already been covered, so that efforts are now being concentrated on a few districts. This afternoon Mr. Adams will make a talk at the carmen's pic nic at Crystal Lake Park, near Mil waukie. He will finish his active cam. paign at midnight. Much to the disappointment of the theatrical branch of the Baker Boost ers' Club, the big meeting at the Baker Theater tonight, which they had ar ranged and announced, will not be held Mr. Baker was obliged to cancel the meeting plan yesterday because he had so many other engagements on the closing night of his campaign that he found Jt would be impossible for him to attend. The theatrical men had ar ranged for singing and several acts from local theaters, and had also mace arrangements for a number of speak ers besides Mr. Baker. Interest in the election among voters appears to have increased in the last few days. Indications now are that be tween 50,000 and 60,000 will cast votes, out of a registration of approximately 85.000. If there were 50,000 votes, and each voter exercised his first, second and third choice privilege, there would be 150,000 votes to count Many voters however intend to vote only for first choice. Today will see the real finish of the city campaign. The election is Mon day, June 7. While candidates thus have Sunday as an additional working day, all active campaigning will end tonight. There may be a little persona work on Sunday, but candidates are chary of appearing before Sunday meet ings. The campaign is probably the quietest before an important election the city has ever had. The Colored Women's Republican Club held a meeting last Wednesday night at the Central Library in the interest of Dr. George Parrish for City Commissioner. The speakers were Seneca Fouts, Conrad P. Olson, Mrs. F. D. Reed, William Penn and the presi dent of the club, Mrs. L. K. Weeks. Mrs. George Holiday and Mrs. V. K. Keene sang, accompanied by Mrs. W. D. Alflen and Miss Norma Keene. Mrs. Waldo Bagle was secretary of the meeting. By special invitation of the Parent Teacher Association of the Shattuck School, George L. Baker, candidate for City Commissioner, made an address at a meeting of the association in the Shattuck School, Harrison street be tween Fifth and Sixth, yesterday after noon. Three hundred and sixty women were present. Mr. Baker's talk was re ceived with much enthusiasm. There was also a musical programme, and p.mong the entertainers were the Misses Irene and Marie Watson, who demon strated the pretty "butterfly" dance. Mr. Baker was the only candidate invited to appear before the association. HIGH MASON TAKES PART JOH-V 11. COWLES, OF" WASHINGTON, AT SCOTTISH RITE REUNION.

Dr. David Starr Jordan will give an address at a luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce at noon today under the auspices of the Chamber, the Civic League and the Oregon Peace Society. Yesterday, in addition to his address at noon before the Progressive Business Men's Club, he spoke before the grade teachers of Portland at the Lincoln High School at 3 o'clock, and last night before members of the University Club at a dinner given in his honor. The subject of his address last night was "War and the Breed." and the major points of it were covered in his address before the teachers in the afternoon. President Foster, of Reed College, ar ranged for the entertainment at tn University Club and presided. Dr. Jordan in his address developed the theory that war, by destroying the fittest men of a race, leave the unfit to father the next generation, with an inevitable decadence. "The best men of England went to the wars in India," he said, "and the result today is the slums in London. The best men of the nation died in for eign wars, leaving the unfit to breed a generation that would slide down the path of least resistance." The destruction of the lives of the best men of New England he declared to be responsible for Boston ceasing to be the center of intellectual culture in the New World. Among those present at the banquet given at the University Club besides Dr. Jordan and his party were:- Dr. Foster, A. AV. Chance, R. R. Duniway, A. R. Watzek, Dr. Joyce, R. B. Sweezey, R. L. Donald.

BISHOP CRITICISES FLOCKS . ARE YOU A MISS0URIAN? If so, join with the Humane Society in the chorus, "You've Got to Quit Kickin" My Dog Around." and vote for the Humane Society amendment to the city charter. No. 110 YES. HUMANITY FIRST. (Paid Adv. by Oregon Humane Society.) Religious Sentiment Is Declared by Prelate to Be Lack ins 'n Port land, Especially In Their Particular Circles. Troubles of the Taylor-street Meth odists were aired once more last night, when officials of all the Methodist churches in the city met at First Church on invitation of Bishop R. J. Cooke to hear a report of the present status of the case. The bishop called the meeting in re sponse to a petition received from more than 350 members of the Methodist churches in various parts of the city. The petition prayed that the Taylor street church be reopened as a place of worship. The meeting last night failed to ac complish the end sought by the peti tioners. The bishop protested his inabil ity, both legal and ecclesiastical, to reopen the Taylor-street church. Many who had signed the petition went away dissatisfied. The breach between the Taylor-street and the First Church was not healed. Situation Is As of Old. The situation remains precisely where it was before the meeting was called. The proceedings were not conducted last night entirely according to . the wishes of many petitioners The bishop opened the meeting by an nouncing briefly the purposes for which it had been called. He then turned the meeting over to the First Church trus tees, with Dr. F. L. Loveland, the pas tor, presiding. Dr. Loveland called on George F. Johnson, a member of the official board, who presented a full report of the pro. ceedings in connection with the con solidation of the two churches. Dr. Loveland prefaced his introduction- of Mr. Johnson with the declaration that the meeting could accomplish nothing other than hearing, this statement, and that he understood such was all that the petitioners desired. Biqhop'a Utterances Heated. But no one seemed satisfied to come and hear only a legal and financial statement. As soon as Mr. Johnson had finished numerous delegates asked questions. The bishop was ready with his answers, and it required only a little time to draw him into an active discussion. The bishop grew quite heated in some of his utterances. He continued to ex pound his previously expressed theory that the two congregations should re main united and that the old Taylor street building should be used as a mission. "Why, it's a shame," declared the bishop, "that a city the syne of Port land cannot even support a single mis sion. It is a sad reflection on Method ism, v "We have In this town men who are hungry for religion. Men are" around us every day who want physical and spiritual assistance. What is Method ism doing to help them? There isn't a single place to which they can go. There isn't a place, even, where a child can go. Lack of Religion Charged. BishoD Cooke urged that the Taylor- street members agree to the plan he suggested on the ground that it would serve to build up the church and to promote religious welfare. He deplored what he said was -lack of religious sentiment in the city, and especially among the Methodist Church. "What did I find when I came here? he asked. "I found two Methodist churches dying; actually dying. Neither one of them was filling its place in the community." At the conclusion of the bishop s remarks several members asked him why the Taylor-street building could not be reopened without Jeopardizing the rights to the property claimed by the First Church. To reopen it, they pointed out, would preclude the neces sity of holding services in the streets, as the Taylor-street worshipers now are doing every Sunday. But the bishop met this suggestion by the opinion that this action would be in contempt of court, inasmuch as that point now is involved in the case pending in the Supreme Court. Dr. Loveland then explained that he would be willing, as pastor of the First Church, to grant letters of member ship to any communicants who wanted to withdraw and worship at Taylor street or at any other place. Taylor Folk Deny Implication. This, it was argued, wasn't much of sl concession. Inasmuch as the pastor is required to -issue such letters any way, on request of members in good standing. Some of the delegates interpreted the bishop's subsequent utterances as an intimation that the petitions call ing for the meeting had been prompted by the dissatisfied Taylor-street mem bers, and several of them were quick to deny this suggestion. The following churches were repre sented: Rose City Park, Sunnyside, Trinity, Woodstock, Woodlawn, Cen tral, Centenary and first Inasmuch as the Taylor-street people have no organization of their own, they were not represented. employe of the Ogilveys, and one time a suitor of Ogilvey's youngest daugh ter, was arrested by Sheriff Taylor this afternoon and is held on a charge of murder. The tragedy was discovered this morning when Henry Stubblef ield, a farm hand, found the body of Mrs. Ogilvey on the porch of her home and Mr. Ogilvey unconscious inside the house. A note written by Mr. Ogilvey last night as a dying declaration, named Dale as the slayer. Regaining consciousness Mr. Ogilvey gave a more detailed account of the shooting, say ing Dale stopped at the house between 8 and 9 P. M. and quarreled with Mrs. Ogilvey. The husband went toward them, when Dale shot the woman through the chest, Mr. Ogilvey eald. She fell in her husband's arms and Dale fired another shot at them. Dale was found at his home drunk, with a loaded rifle at his side. A posse surrounded the house awaiting the arrival of the Sheriff, but Dale of fered no resistance. He professed a complete lapse of menory concerning events prior and following the time of shooting. He said he was drugged and robbed in Pendle ton yesterday and was in a desperate mood when he left the city to go home. His place adjoins the OgUvey ranch. Dale is married. Amateur Baseball Bookings June 6. TAXATION SUIT DECIDED Owner f La nd and Holder of Con tract Must Both Pay. A fine point on taxation was decided yesterday by Circuit Judge Kavanaugh, when County Assessor Reed's action in assessing a piece of land and also as sessing a contract for the sale of the same land was upheld. The property In question was part of the estate of Isaiah Buckman, who died a year ago. Before his death, Mr. Buckman sold the Etna sub-division to W. H. Mall for $130,000. At the time of Mr. Buckman's death, according to the inventory, $56,000 was due on this property, the title to which still re mained with Mr. Buckman's estate. Mr. Reed assessed the sub-division. In making out his personal tax list, he also assessed Mr. Buckman's contract for sale at about half its value, or 1 2 8.000. MAN SHOT; WIFE SLAIN Ex-Employe of Eastern Oregon Parmer 't,nder Arrest.

SKILLED MEN RECALLED France Will Bring Munition Makers iVom Trenches. PARIS, June 4. The chamber of deputies today discussed a proposed law transferring from the auxiliary service to the active service every mobilized man capable of performing military duty at the front. The heads of industries manufacturing war ma terial have forwarded a protest against the withdrawal of men from work on which skill and experience are needed to complete contracts for the government. It is pointed out in the protest that many men able to fight are driving au tomobiles and can easily be replaced. In this connection it was proposed to leave skilled workmen to make shells and guns, and bring back others from the front more useful In the manufac ture of war munitions and replace them by unskilled men now in the auxiliary service.

Reinforcement of Germans Indicated, London Believes Attempt Made to Shell Verdun at Long Range. LONDON, June 4. British, French and German official reports agree to day that tha fighting has been intense on the western front, and the British and German accounts are in accord in indicating engagements of especial se verity between those two contenders. The Berlin report says that the village and Chauteau of Hooge, except a few houses, has been taken by the Germans, who have repulsed British counter-attacks - with "sanguinary losses." Of this, the British account, made public by Sir John French, says: "Since we seized come outbuildings on the grounds of a ruined chateau at Hooge, our trenches have been subjected, to a heavy bombardment." The German account indicates also heavy fighting near Givenchy. Berlin says British troops succeeded in ad vancing to the German positions last night, but were driven out by a counter-attack, with heavy losses. Field Marshal French, in reporting on this latter movement, says the British had occupied the German tranches in" the night, but were unable to hold them after daylight, owing to the fire of the Germans. Paris chronicles progress for the allies to the north of Arras, the cap ture of a trench at Souchez and the repulse of a German counter-attack at Neuville-St. "Vaast. In- this latter re gion a gain of about 300 feet is asserted by Paris. Farther east the Germans are said to have tried ineffectively to shell Verdun with a single long-range gun. and also to have thrown a few pro jectiles at St. Die. while the French have bombarded the southern front of the entrenched camp of Metz. It is believed in London that the Germans are sending extensive rein forcements to the western front. L. M. SULLIVAN INDICTED Ex-Promoter Formally Accused of Using Mails for Lottery.
