Is Sent by County Judge to AVatcli for Frauds and Things Happen Fast Bot- 1 Ic T'ells Prosecutor. CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Six of the nine wards, the Aldermen of which revolted against Mayor Thompson, Republican, nominated an ti -Thompson Aldermanic candidates at the primaries today. The Mayor's candidates were returned in the Third, Thirteenth and Thirty-third Wards. Unusual interest attached to the struggle by reason of the Mayor's am bition to succeed Roy O. West as Re publican National committeeman and curiosity as to what effect on the vote the enforcement of the Sunday-closing law against saloons by the Mayor would have. Women as well as men voted. The Democratic primaries - were con tested by followers of Roger fciullivan, so-called Democratic "boss" of the state, against adherents of Governor Dunne and ex-Mayor Carter Harrison. Mayor Thompson in campaign speeches asserted that the fig"ht affainst him in the nine leading "revo lutionary" wards was due to the activi ties of ex-Governor Deneen, who al ways has supported Mr. West for re election as National committeeman. Rioting- marked the closing hours of one of the most tUFbulent off-year pri mary elections Chicago has known. The most serious disturbance of the day was in the Fifth Precinct of the Twentieth Ward, where a riot call brought a squad of police to a polling place. The policemen went to the res cue of Deputy Sheriff Kramer, who with revolver drawn held an angry crowd at bay. Kramer said he had been sent to the place by County Judge Scully to watxh for frauds. "TIi iocs Happen Fast." "1 showed my credentials and chal lenged a man," said Kramer. "The elec tion judges ordered, me out. 1 refused, 1 o leave. Someone struck me in the face. Then things happened fast. Others seized me and attempted, to drag me from the room. I drew my revolver to defend myself." Richard J. Prendergast, an Assistant State's Attorney, was felled with a bottle when protesting in the Fifty second. Precinct polling place in the Twenty-first Ward against alleged frauds. Prendrrgrast was working in the in terest of his brother, John Prender gast, candidate for the Democratic nomination in the ward. He was pro testing the vote of repeaters with Courtney Scobell, a Sullivan precinct captain, when a man rushed, in from the street and. struck him in the-back of tho head with a bottle. " Two arrests were made in the Eigh teenth Ward when John Moore, 25 years old, and Frank Dodd, 23 years old, resorted to fists in settling a po litical argument They were arrested. Sectional Klghtn Intense. Intense sectional fights, particularly in the Twenty-first Ward, where the forces- of James Quinn and- John S O'Malley are striving for mastery, pro voked bitter brawls, arrests and. the frequent drawing of revolvers. Riot calls were many at least in the river wards :and from the scenes of two battlegrounds arose cries of fraud, re peating and the free use of intimida tors. Albert Haggart. 29 years old, was ar--rested, late in the afternoon after a chase in which judges and clerks or election took part. The man, it is charged, attempted to vote under the name of a voter known to be CO years old at the polling place of the Forty fifth Precinct of the Twenty-first Ward. In the Kirst Ward, which includes the downtown district, the Republican contest produced a woman candidate, Hilda Johnson Haskins. Of the fem inine vote she received 36, against 107 for William II. Schrader. The Demo crats, following immemorial custom, renominated Alderman John Cough lin, known in former years as "Bath house John." He was unopposed. Complete returns from 19 wards where fights were made on the Thomp son candidates gave the Mayor nine victories and his opponents ten. Among the Democrats Sullivan's forces were sweepingly triumphant. In complete returns indicated to a prac tical certainty that they carried 27 of the 35 wards.

PALE WIVES AND MOTHERS Many women who had s good color in their girlhood grow pale and colorless when they become wives and mothers. When the fading color in cheeks and lips is accompanied by a loss of bright, noas in the eyes and an increasing heavi ness in the step, the cause ia to be sought in the state of the blood. A hundred causes may contribute to the condition of thin blood thai is known as anemia. Overwork, lack of out-door exercise, insufficient rest and Bleep, im proper diet, these are a few of them. Xhe important thing is to restore the blood to normal, to boiid it up so that the color will return to cheeks and lips, the brightness to the eyes and lightness to the step. Dr. Williams' Pink fills are the great blood builder and invigorator. They be gin at once to increase the red corpuscles in the blood and the new blood carries strength and health to ererr part of the body. Appetite increases, digestion be comes more perfect, energy mad ambition return. A pamphlet, "Building TJpthe Blood," will be sent free on request by the Dr. Wiiimna Medicine Co., Schenectady, X.

CERTAIN melodies, or bonmote, or misquotations stick to theatrical folk like a burr. No matter how many other singers at other times may sing- it, the song remains always iden tified in the public mind with one par ticular artiet. George Damerel will always be iden tified with Lets Go Back to Maxim's." And, tell the truth, don't you always think of George Damerel and his sea sons with various Princess Sonias whenever the lovely, haunting melody of "The Merry Widow" comes to mem ory ? It is deeply imbedded in hie ca reer. And if you find yourself hum ming the melody you immediately call up a picture of the dashing, debonaire Damerel He has waltzed through my memory every time a hurdy-gurdy starts "Maxim's" or a rummaging through someone's etack of music brings his famous song to memory. We talked of it yesterday. -Mr. Damerel is being much dined and motored and luncheoned and even breakfasted by Fortlanders whom he has made h is friends during the sea sons he has visited us. 'I know they're real friends. he says, "becauser not one blessed one of them has ever tried to sell me property or shares in something," Mr. Damerel opines that- the waltz is the loveliest form of the dance. "It is a genuine terpsichorean novelty now adays," he says. "The modern dances are, after all. a sort of highly conven tionalized bacchanal and the old-fashioned waltz was well, a denatured bacchanal, anyway. It may not have eliminated entirely the idea of sex, but it was interpolative of all the grace and beauty which are inherent in the human body, both in action and repose. Yea, the waltz was a chaste and lovely dance. "In spite of the extraordinary vogue which dancing has been enjoying for the last few years and which has war ranted the newspaper, paragraphere in assuming that all the world is dance mad, the good old-fashioned waltz has been relegated to the past- Even our grandfathers have passed it by. "Now, don't think I am not in favor of modern Fteps. I am. They are a wondeful exercise, and anyone who per forms them faithfully need not roll in th morninar or bend over without bend- POLITICAL GOSSIP ALTHOUGH Harvey Wells, State Insurance Commissioner, has been prominently mentioned as a pos sible candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, he said yesterday that he will not be, and has never thought of being:, a candidate for the office. "This is definite, official and final." said Mr. Wells. "As Ions ago as early last Fall I was quoted in The Ore-g-onian as saying- I would not run, and that statement was correct absolutely. I thank my friends for their interest, but will say candidly tltat I prefer the insurance business to politics( and don't propose to be a candidate for any office." A. A. Muck, of St. Johns, has ten dered his resignation as a member of the executive committee of the Oregon Republican Club and his successor probably will be selected at a meeting of the committee today. The consti tution of the Oregon Republican Club provides that no officeholder or candi date for office may hold office in the club: Mr. Muck has announced his can didacy for the Republican nomination for County Commissioner, hence has resisnedw Among those prominently mentioned to succeed him on the com mittee is Dr. L. Victoria Hampton, one of the well-known Republican women of Portland. Arthur C. Spencer, Portland attorney, announced his candidacy yesterday for delegate-at-large to the Republican Na tional Convention and sent his formal declaration to Secretary of State Ol cott. Of the ten delegates to attend the Chicago convention from Oregon four are to be elected from the state at large. Sir. Spencer is the fifth can didate to file for delegate-at-large, the other four beinj? Charles H. Carey, of Riverdale; Frank M. Warren, J. 3-1. Worsley and C. W. Fulton, all of Port land. In his statement of candidacy Mr. Spencer says: "Our conditions demand the nom ination and election of a President who proceeds upon considerations of right and reason, and not tpon impulse or clamor; a man who stands, who acts . ; i !

"He should not be a standpatter, a progressive or a reactionary, but a man worthy of a broader and higher classi fication a patriotic citizen, who when elected will be the President of all the people for whose welfare he shall al ways stand and who shall know no party when the Natioirs honor and in terests are involved. "He should be a man whom none will dare approach on a basis of partisan ship, of rank, of Beet, of race or na tionality, but whom every man may approach with confidence and without fear in behalf of any just or worthy cause, knowing that it will be deter mined upon its merits, "The man chosen should enjoy now. and from the date of his election, the implicit confidence of the contending powers in Europe to the end that he may be a force in speeding the ter mination of that contest.

"If selected, I propose to do every honorable act within my power to se cure the nomination of that man whom the people of this state name as their choice and will support him until he wins or retires." Roswell L. Conner, of McMinville. District Attorney of Tamhill County, has filed, his declaration of candidacy for re-election, subject to the Repub lican primary. Mr. Conner has been a practicing lawyer at McMinnville for many years, and is also well known in Portland.

Chatten, o member of the lower House of the Legislature from Multnomah County six years ago, will be a candidate this year for the Re publican nomination for Joint Repre sentative from Multnomah and Clack amas counties. Sig Sichel will not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for County Commissioner. He announced last night his definite decision not to make the race. "I consider it a great compliment to have been aeked to become a candi date," said Mr. Sichel, "and thank my friends for their good wishes. I feel, however, that my business. should have all my attention." Mr. Sichel served on the city executive board when Jo seph Simon was Mayor. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 29. (Special.) C. O.

STORY-TELLER IS HEARD MOM.IE BEST WW'S AUDIENCE IX WHITE TEMPLE. InteretfnK Displays AIho Are Made In Connection With Palestine . Pageant at Church. Mollie Best and her irresistible stories took the audience by storm last night in tho White Temple. Miss Best, who is a well-known magazine writer and story-teller from New York, gives delightful delineation of the characters that make the Ghetto and the Irish quarters of the city distinctive. She tells her stories in connection wiUi the Social Service Exposition and Palestine Pageant that is being held in the White Temple under the auspices of the Port land Ministerial Association and sev eral social service organizations. Dr. Allen Moore, arrayed In the garb of an Oriental, gave a lecture on the Holy Land, illustrating his talk with a pageant of richly "costumed young people. The music and chants of the far-away lands and the ancient cere monials made the pageant spectacular. G. B. St. John explained the various exhibits, which include many .valuable features that were shown in the Pan-ama-Pacific Exposition in San Fran cisco. A number of leading members of the W. C. T. TJ. received in the booth in charge of that organization. The Presbyterian board has one of the fin est displays. The Congregationalists. Lutherans, Episcopalians and others are well represented. Various relics from the Holy Land are on view, as well as valuable em broideries from the Orient. The exhibition will be open each aft ernoon and evening this week at 2:15 and .15 o'clock. Idea of Election to Presidency Spreads to Most Members of Commerce Body. FAVORED MAN SURPRISED Consideration of Proposal Is Prom ised and Answer Is Expected In Few Days Opposition Is Xot Thought Probable. Members of the Chamber of Com merce who originated the movement to elect Theodore B. Wilcox as president of that body, are hopeful that their plan will succeed. Since the idea of electing Mr. Wilcox first was suggested It has spread with wonderful rapidity among the member ship. The movement, which started two or threo weeks ago, apparently has permeated the entire organization. While nearly every member of the Chamber has been dwelling on this thought for the last two or three weeks, it is probable that Mr. Wilcox himself was tho last person to hear of it. Not until a few days ago was he formally advised of the general demand that he accept the presidency. Then a committee of directors visited Mr. Wil cox and urged him to allow his name to be i.rcscnted. upgreatlon Is Surprise. The suggestion evidently came as a surprise to Mr. Wilcox, who expressed the view that other members might be better able to serve the Chamber in the executive capacity. He gave his assurances that as an individual mem- oer he would continue to support tho important movements that the Cham ber now has under way, but declined at that time to say that ho would allow the use of his name as a presidential possibility. Upon further presentations by the committee Mr. Wilcox agreed to con sider the proposal. He is expected to give his answer within a few days. The annual election in the Chamber takes place about April 1. So universal is tile prevailing senti ment in favor of Mr. Wilcox that it is more than probable indeed, almost certain that if he allows his name to be presented, no other candidate will appear against him. C. C. Colt, the present president, is eager to retire. Under tho rules of the organization the president must be chosen from the hoard of directors. Inasmuch as there is a vacancy in the &rain bureau, in which Mr. .Wilcox holds membership, the plan is to elect him a director lor that bureau. Ilnrcaus to Hold Elections. Kach bureau, of which there are 10, will hold its election separately. When the Chamber was reorganized a year ago each bureau elected three directors, one each for a three-year, a two-year and a one-year period. Those directors elected for the one-year period and whose terms expire this year are; Membership council, Frank E. Smith; civic bureau. Dean Vincent; retail mer chants' bureau, J. C. English; traffic and transportation, . C. B. Woodruff; trade and commerce, Nathan Strauss; industries and manufactures, O. K. Heintz; publicity and conventions, J. C. Ainsworth; Oregon development, C. C. Chapman; legislation and taxation, Edgar B. Piper; grain bureau, Thomas Kerr. Another vacancy exists on the grain bureau owing to the death of Robert Kennedy, who was elected last year for the three-year term. It is planned to elect Mr. Wilcox to this vacant place. Mr. Wilcox is president of the Port land Flouring Mills Company, operating plants and warehouses throughout the Northwest. He always has taken an active interest in the development of the territory tributary to Portland, and served as president of the old Com mercial Club. He also was president for a term of years of the Oregon De velopment League. GIRL'S ASSAILANT HELD ARTHUR. DISV, 20, IS ACCUSED BY 7-YEAR-OLD CHILD. Youth Who Was "Keening; Company" With An Older Sister Is Captured After All-Mght Cuase.

"Everybody then piled out of the lifeboat. Most of them slid across the deck into the,water on the other side. "The deck was inclined to such a de gree that-we could not stand. I grabbed at an oar and slid down the deck into the water. The waves were so strong that I found that I could not swim in them, and was washed back against the side of the ship. Finally, I man aged to reach a capsized boat a few feet away and crawled onto it. From there I coula see In the water near me several bodies of persons who were bleeding about the head.

In a letter to friends at Saskatoon. Mr. F. Gifford. of Ine Ball Rock Farm. Maymont, Saskatchewan. Canada, says: "Thanks to Frultola and Traxo I am alive. I lay on my back for sixteen days, suffering the agonies of a dozen deaths. I began taking Fruitola and was relieved of a great many gall stones. My health is now fully re stored." Fruitola possesses properties that act directly upon the intestinal parts. It is a great system cleanser, softening the congested waste and disintegrat ing the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, and quickly expels the accumulation to the great relief of the patient- Traxo is a tonic-alterative that acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices to aid digestion and removes bile from the general circulation. It serves to build up and strengthen the weakened, run-down system. Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Monticello. 111., and arrangements have been mad e to supply them through representa tive druggists. In Portland they can be obtained at The Owl Drug Co. stores. Help Your Kidneys To maintain the health of the body, it is very important that the liver, as well as the kidneys, should be kept in a healthy condition, as its secretions play a very important part in the process of digestion and assimilation ; if it becomes inactive or sluggish, various disorders arise, constipation is apt to follow, with the usual ill effects. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy has been used with beneficial results during the past 40 years. It does not do the kidneys' work (nothing can do that) but It assists in restoring and putting new vigor into them. Made from herbs and other beneficial ingredients and contains nothing injurious.
