Ice Palace Held Big Enough to Handle All Who Will Come Lt to Hear Nominee. RINK CAPACITY IS 12,000 Heavy Demands on Candidate Make It Improbable That He 'Will Take Speaking Tour of the Willamette Valley. Although the date when Charles Evans Hughes is to speak in Portland next Wednesday night. August 16. at 8:15 o'clock has been definitely known for only a few days, already applica tions by the hundred are coming into Republican state headquarters in the Selling building asking that seats be reserved for the applicants. The letters are coming from all parts of the state. The writers, fearing that in the crush of people who will be out that evening to hear Mr. Hughes they will not be able to get seats, are anxious to make some arrangements to make certain that they will be taken care of. No Seats 'Will Be Reserved. It was definitely decided yesterday, however, by the committee in charge, of which National Committeeman Ralph E. Williams is chairman, that no seats will be reserved for anybody. An an nouncement to this effect was made in the afternoon. The decision not to reserve any seats was reached following the engagement of the Ice Palace, formerly the Ice Hippodrome, at Twenty-first and Marshall streets, as the place where Mr. Hughes will deliver his ad dress. The entire floor of the huge audi torium, including the space used for skating in the Winter, will be laid with board flooring on which chairs will be placed. The committee was assured yesterday by the Ice Palace manage ment that between 9000 and 10,000 per sons can be seated comfortably. Palace Capacity 12.O0O. ' After all the seats have been taken there will still be standing space left for 1500 to 2000 persons. The entire capacity of the big hippodrome will be close to 13,000 persons. This is nearly three times the capacity of the Armory, which was first selected for the meet ing, and should provide room for every body. In view of the great seating capacity of the Ice Palace it is quite probable that out of consideration for Mr. Hughes, who is making one of the most strenuous campaigns a candidate has ever undertaken, the proposed 3 o'clock meeting Wednesday afternoon for wom en will be canceled. One reason for the tentative decision to have such a meeting was the belief that the Armory would prove inade quate to seat the thousands who will be out to hear Mr. Hughes. Of course, the women's meeting would have to be abandoned anyway If Mr. Hughes should heed the request of the committee to overrule the decision made Thursday by his advance agent, A. N. Rodway, that no trip up the Willam ette Valley should be made. Valley Trip Urged. The committee telegraphed direct to Mr. Hughes to request that he over rule Mn Rodway and consent to put in most of his day here riding up the Val ley as far as Eugene in a special train, making speeches at various stops going- and returning. No answer had been received last night, but In view of the very hard speaking programme still ahead of him after he leaves Oregon, which makes it udvisable that he conserve his voice and energy, it is hardly considered probable that Mr. Hughes will agree to the change. . One -ot the prominent Valley Republi cans here to urge the committee to brine Mr. Hughes that way, if possible. is Colonel Mercer, of Eugene. Colonel Mercer is almost an advocate of taking Mr. Hughes to Eugene by force, If necessary. Word was received by the committee yesterday from Pendleton that a score or more Republicans of Umatilla County are planning to make the trip to Port land next Wednesday and attend the Ice Palace meeting in a body. Among those who are taking a leading part in organization of the party are J Sommerville. W. M. Slusher, E. W. Mc- Coraas and Clarence Bishop. Much Work to Be Done. Much remains to be done at the Ice Palace between now and Wednesday night to prepare it for the huge crowd expected. In addition to the work of flooring and arranginE- seats, the location of the platform from which Mr. Hughes will speak is yet to be arranged. Ex tensive tests of the acoustic properties of the building will be conducted with a view to placing this platform to the best possible advantage. A sounding board also will be put up behind the speaker, if necessary. At the Billy Sunday meeting Tuesday only a little more than one-third the floor space at the Ice Palace was floored over, making it necessary for several thousand persons to stand. This will not be the case at the big Hughes meeting. The entire floor will be boarded Owing to the limited platform space At the Ice Palace, only members of the State Central Committee, state officers of the Hughes alliance and county chairmen will have seats on the stage.

Claims of delegates for their expenses to National party conventions cannot be audited by the Secretary of State. Attorney-General Brown today advised Secretary Olcott. Failure of the Legis lature to provide an appropriation for payment ot party delegates expenses. It Is pointed out. makes it Impossible to pay their expenses for attending the conventions. The Attorney-General also held that money paid by members of a candi date s party at the primary for secur ing signatures and preparing: the pe tition, or for filing the declaration of candidacy, does not need to be In cluded In the candidate's sworn state ment of expenses nor in the limitation imposed upon his expenditures. ro restriction In the amount which delegates to National party conven uons may spena is placed by law upon them, the Attorney-General de clared, since toe office of delegate Is not a public one, and also because since no salary attaches. It does not come within the meaning of the corrupt practices act. Xon-slnk.ble. non-collapsible and rid ing upright at all times, while 75 to 100 persons can De accommodated, with water and food supplies for three weeks and a. change of air every half minute, are some of the principal ad vantages of a new lifebuoy, built along the general lines - of large conical- shaped navigation buoys, which Is be ing finished here and will be tested off Municipal Dock No. 1 on Monday. The buoy is being put together at the plant of W. G. McFherson Company on North Nineteenth street. It Is the Invention of A. A. Unruh, of Portland, and is being turned out by the V. S. Under & Overseas Lifebuoy Company, an Oregon corporation, headed by R. w. talrfoull. The buoy to be tried here Is nine feet high and has a diameter of 12 feet and is made of 12-gauge galvanised steel, the total weight being about 2000 pounds, and. if carried upright on the deck of & vessel. Mr. Fairfoull says it will occupy deck space three feet and six inches in diameter, that being the size, of the base. Inside the shell are arranged tiers of seats in circles in which passengers may be strapped, and provision Is made for carrying food and water under each seat, while on top. in the conning tower, is an air valve for the admission of fresh air and in the bottom of the buoy is installed a pump for forcing out the foul air, the supply of oxygen being regulated by the man on watch In the tower. The buoy has a double bottom and by means of a sea-cock water Is ad mitted for ballast, and the amount car ried is to be regulated by the number of passengers. Lights are provided, red ones in the conning tower and white ones below for illuminating the interior, they being operated by stor age batteries. We propose manufacturing the buoys at the McPherson plant and in such sizes as vessel owners desire, that depending on the ships aboard which they are to be carried, said Mr. Falr foulL "Mr. Unruh began working on the buoy soon after the Titanic disaster, making a small model at first, and we are sure the invention carries out all the important details required for get ting persons aboard in time of panic "The buov will be held in a cradle alongside the ship when in service, and on being filled and lowered away it will be released automatically on strik ing the water, which cannot be done with the present day lifeboats. It can not swamp alongside a ship as life boats do. and no matter if drawn into the vortex of a sinking ship, will come to the surface, we propose to have public exhibition in the main harbor week from Sunday, and at that time will have the buoy alongside a barge and fully demonstrate all features. HATDEJf DIKE M.VY BE RAISED Government Is Asked to Sanction Proposed Work by Port. A contention that the permanent im provement of North Portland harbor depends on a dike at the head of Hay- den Island being raised a few feet so that freshet waters will not flow over it and depoeit sediment in the channel dug each year caused the Fort of Fort- land Commission to request the Gov ernment to sanction the dike improve ment. In that connection it is thought probable the Port of Vancouver will have an interest. . The first channel work done by the Port of Portland in that harbor was under the direction of the Corps of Engineers. U. S. A., the district being later Included in the Port of Portland zone, so last season the Port cleared the channel of sediment, providing I governing depth of 20 feet. The estab lishment of a shipyard there, reopening of sawmills ani prospective industrial additions to the Peninsula s commercial wealth have resulted in a. request for 25-foot channel, which la to be un dertaken as soon as a dredge Is avail able.
