Open Friday Evening Until 8- Saturday Evening Until 10 Portland X 322 Morrison Street, Near Sixth ailoringf Company Portland Hotel Block WILLI KING! BAD' Oregon Democrats Insist on Abdication From Committee. REFUSAL IS POINT BLANK Now, However, H. M. Easterley, Elec tor! by People on National Party Body Is About to Have His I Side of "Controversy Heard. I Will It. King is "in bad" again with Oregon Democrats, though much it bothers him. This time the Honorable Will has stirred up a fine little ruction by declining to abdicate as Democratic National Committeeman from Oregon In favor of H. M. Esterly. who was the overwhelming choice of his party for that desirable position at the pri mary election of June. 1914. That isn't all. Mr. King is reputed to be laboring nights to persuade the Na tional Committee at its coming meet ing at Washington, December 7. not to accept Mr. Esterly's credentials. This action, naturally, would leave Mr. Ksterly on the outside looking In at Mr. King sitting in his accustomed place. Mr. Klnir Simply Won't Ralgn. When Mr. King landed the J6000 job of solicitor for the United States Rec lamation Service two years ago after camping in Washington for several months, it was suggested by some of the boys back home that he had won honor and glory enough and should re sign as National Committeeman to let some other patriot have a chance. This Mr. King enthusiastically declined to do. The next move was up to the Oregon Democrats. They wasted no time. The Baltimore National Convention which nominated Woodrow Wilson in 1912. adapted a resolution to the effect that National Committeemen thereafter should be elected by members of the partjf in the respective states, and that they should hold office from the re ceipt of thei"- credentials. The Oregon Legislature of 1913 also passed a law providing that political parties should elect their National Committeemen at the primary election of 1914. and every four years there after, to serve until their successors Qualified. Mr. Kins Never Framed. Acting under this law and the ruling of the Baltimore convention, the "home boys" in Oregon proceeded to elect Mr. Ksterly as National Committeeman by a majority of 11.000 votes over W. H. Cannon, of Medrord. his only opponent. Mr. King did not deign to run. Mr. Ksterley's election was duly certified and he was generally congratulated and greeted as Democratic National Committeeman from Oregon. Did this move stump the Honorable Will? It did not not. It apparently dtd not even feaze him. All it accom plished was to stir him to action. The worst 'enemy of the Honorable Will would not deny that he can be an ex tremely busy little bee when he so de sires, as he dH desire on this occasion. Having the not inconsiderable ad vantage of being on the ground at Washington and in touch with the most influential members of the Na tional Committee, the Honorable Will went to work. He has been at work ever since, and there are indications here and there that he ts not working altogether in vain. ' Mr. Eaterley Will Be There. ' The, Honorable Will maintains, and he is maintaining a. good stout case of it, that he was regularly appointed National Committeeman by the Demo cratic National Committee, and that as such appointee he automatically holds office until the next National Conven tion in spite of all the votes and all the elections of all the Democrats of Ore gon. Mr. Esterly, however,- will have a chance to present his side of the ques tion. He ha' received a telegram from William F. McCombs, chairman of the National Commitee. notfying him that the committee V'll meet at the New Willard Hotel, Washington, D. C, at 11 A. M. December 7, to determine the time and place to hold the next Demo cratic National Convention, "the set tling of any contests involving mem bership on the committee," and other business. "You are urgently requested to be present, personally if possible," the telegram concludes. . Mr. Esterly said last night that he would be there. 100 BOYS PLAN COMPANY MEETING AT LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL ABOVSES ENTHUSIASM. LAND DEAL CLEARED Enlistment Blanks Passed Oat After Talk by Adjutatnt-General White. Officers Guide Organizing." Blanks for enlistment in the Oregon National Guard were asked for by more than 100 of the boys of Lincoln High School at the conclusion of a talk given them yesterday by Adjutant-General George A. White, of the Oregon National Guard. General White and City Superintend ent R. Alderman, representing the committee in whose hands the details of the plan for the enlistment of high school boys in the militia was left, called at the Lincoln High School yes terday noon and addressed the boys after they had been assembled by the principal of the school. T. T. Davis. General White, on behalf of the com mittee and at the request of Mr. Alder man, made a straightforward state ment of the duties that will be re quired of those that care to enlist in the guard service and initiate the formation' of cadet companies. When he had concluded a number of ques tions were answered by General Whtie and enlistment blanks were given to those boys who showed a desire to en list in the militia. There was a de cided exhibition of enthusiasm among the boys over the prospect of becom ing members of the Oregon National Guard under the school provisions. Rules and regulations cftvering the enlistment of all recruits in the state militia apply to high school boys and all those who are more than IS years of-age are eligible If the consent of the parents is gained. Since the. boys asked for the enlistment blanks it is strictly "up to them" now to form the first company of recruits. Since General White is to leave to night to attend a conference of adjutant-generals from all of the states in the Union, that -convenes in San Francisco within the next few days, it win be necessary for the work of or ganizing the recruits to be left in the hands of officers In the Oregon Nation al Guard, designated by General White before his departure. General White will be in San Fran cisco about a week. Sutherlln iWne Company Robed. ROSEBTJRG. Or., Nov. 4. (Snecial.l Secreting himself in the rear rooms of the Sutherlin Wine Company, some unknown person late last night robbed that establishment of 1175 in cash and liquors and tobaccos valued approxi mately $100. Sheriff Quins went to Sutherlin today, but was unable to find any clew to the thief. Option of Stark-Street Lots Taken for Californians. ANOTHER SALE PROBABLE laadaiu were originally -made 4a a- town najnd- Ia&&au. ia Ganna&y J. C. Ainsworth Says Friends of His Propose Purchasing Property and 13-Story Building Con templated as Investment. Reports that options for the pur chase of the property at the northeast corner of Sixth and Alder streets had been acquired with a view to providing a future home for the United States National Bank were dispelled yester day, when J. C. Ainsworth; president of the United States National, denied em phatically that the bank intends to move. Mr. Ainsworth explained at the same time that the options had been taken by some friends of his in California, who consulted him regarding it before they acted. He advised them to take the option, believing that purchase of the property and its improvement with a substantial business building would bo mutually advantageous to the in vestors as well as to' the city. Many Humors Afloat. . Ever since The Oregonian last Satur day made the first announcement that an option had been given for purchase of the corner in question numerous rumors have- been afloat. One such rumor had it that T. B. Wilcox, who owns the Imperial Hotel property, had acquired options on both Stark-street corners on the west side of Sixth street. But Mr. Ainsworth's explanation dis poses of any possible connection that Mr. Wilcox may have had with the transaction. It is understood that if the California people close their option and purchase the property, they will improve it with a substantial 12-story business struc ture. In this connection it has been re ported that the Southern Pacitlc Rail road is seeking a lease on the proposed new building and that the negotiations are being conducted on behalf of the southern Pacific, but officials of that railroad deny any knowledge of It. Southern Pacific Mentioned. Several years ago the Southern Pa cine contemplated seriously the lease or a building ample to accommodate Its general offices in the upper floors and Its city ticket offices on the ground floor. But since then additional space has been aecured In the Wells-Fargo Duuaing and some of the Southern Pa cine offices have been consolidated. Officials of the road declare that they will retain their offices in the Wells- r argo building indefinitely. The quarter block upon which the California investors have taken an option is valued In the option at J275, 000. This Is apportioned. $175,000 for me corner lot. which Is owned by H ana m. won, ana fiou.ouj ror the In side lot, owned by Alexander Wagner. Wakefleld, Fries & Co., local realty brokers, handled the option for the tjaiiiornia people. At the same time negotiations have been in progress for lease or purchase or the quarter block at the southwest corner of Sixth and Stark streets, im mediately east of the Imperial Hotel, although no option has been given so far as is inown. Both this corner and the corner opposite are eovered with eld .wooden buildings that no- longer harmonize with the -modern structures surrounding them. " HOBO ON TRAIN KILLS TWO Brakeman and Companion Are Vic tims Near Vista. KENNEWICK. Wash.. Nov. 4. (Spe cial.) As the result of an altercation with hobos who were stealing a. ride on a westbound Northern Pacinc freight train and whom they were at tempting to put oft the train, O. O. Burns, a brakeman, and J. McCann, his companion, and formerly a brakeman. are dead. The tragedy occurred, near Vista, five miles west of here. earJv Tuesday night. According to the story of the train men, Burns and" McCann climbed onto a, coal car'where three men were rid ing and ordered them to get oft while the train was going-over the Vista Hill at a slow rate. The men refused, and in the trouble that ensued one of the three men drew a gun and shot Mc Cann, killing him instantly. He then shot Burns, who, falling, fractured his skull, from which he died after reach ing Pasco, several hours later. Two of the- three men have been taken and are lodged in the Kenne- wick jail. They, however, plead inno cence to any implication in the crime, saying that the man who did th,e shoot ing got away. p'our other suspects have been taken by officers who are' scouring the country in an attempt to apprehend the man who did the shoot-i ing. THE INSPIRED IDIOT "The-j ewelry business has gone nuts,"- said the Idiot. "They have begun selling- two months ahead of time, and they are all fighting each other, and you, my dear public, are getting the benefit by paying f ojj their wonderful (?) ads, and a' good fat profit besides. "I noticed in one of their ads Thursday that they stated as follows: 'Great Scott! . If you ever see anyone selling clothing as cheap as these diamonds, you just put me next; I need a new suit of clothes.'- "My dear ad writer, you just wait Until the high-priced clothiers get started, and im mediately you will save 25 per cent, just as the people are now saving 25 per cent to 50 per cent on your goods. "If you fellows weren't mak ing 100 per cent profit in the beginning you wouldn't be able to reduce the price of your stock 25 per' cent to 50 $er cent no more than the high-priced cloth ing stores would be able to re duce their goods 25 per cent if they were not making a big, fat, juicy profit at the beginning. "The thousands of dollars that are being spent for those won derful big ads must come out of J somebody's v pocket, and I -am quite sure that the benevolent sales makers are not losing any money."
