SETHLOW,EX-MAYOR
OF NEW YORK, DIES
Career Marked by Work Done
for Education, Civic Re
L form and Philanthropy
PUBLIC SERVICE NOTABLE
Adrocaey of Business Principles in
Conduct of Government Affairs
Prominent Feature of His
Work In Politics.
NEW YORK, Sept IT. Beth Low, ex
Mayor of New York and one-time presi
dent of Columbia University, died late
today at his country home. Broad
Brook Farm, Bedford Hills, N. T.. at
the age of 66 years. He had been 111
several months of a complication of
diseases.
A change for the worse was an-
nounced last night, and it was then
said the patient probably could not re
cover. Seth Low was twice Mayor of Brook
lyn, once Mayor of New York and for
11 years was president of Columbia
University. In each of these offices
lie became distinguished for public
service, and he was known through
out the country as one of the leading
figures in New York City life. .
Born in Brooklyn January 18, 1850,
he came of a long line of merchant
princes and men of culture. His grand
father, for whom he was named, was
a Harvard-bred merchant, who, pre
vious to his settlement In New York,
did a prosperous business in Salem,
Mass. His father,' Abiel Abbott Low,
founded a big business in the Importa
tion of tea and silk in New York, and
at one time had a fleet of more than
a dozen clipper ships engaged In the
China trade.
Young Low was educated at the
Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn and
then at Columbia, from which he was
graduated in 1870 at the age of 20. In
college he had been distinguished both
as a student and an athlete. On leav
ing Columbia Mr. Low went to his
father's business house, entering as a
clerk and traversing all the grades
until he was finally head of the firm.
In the meantime he became greatly In
terested in public life, particularly in
Brooklyn charities.
Business Government Insisted On.
It was during the campaign of Gaij
field for President, in ,1880, that Mr.
Low first became prominent in politics.
A Young Republican Club was organ
ized In Brooklyn to promote the Gar
field campaign and Mr. Low was se
lected as president of the club. Mu
nicipal affairs In Brooklyn were at that
time in a bad way, suffering from the
wave of extravagance and corruption
that had been set in motion by the
Tweed ring In New York. Mr. Low
and his club insisted that the Improve
ment of civic government could be ac
complished only by disregarding party
lines and National issues, so far as mu
nicipal affairs were concerned. The
principle at that time was a new one,
and Mr. Low's leadership in the move
ment resulted in his election as Mayor
of Brooklyn by the regular Republican
and Independent forces. In 1883 he
was re-elected for a second term.
He stood squarely and insistently for
business principles In local affairs, and
he carried the municipal administration
in Brooklyn to such a high point of
efficiency that he was almost uni
versally praised.
College .Administration Brilliant.
His administration as head of Co
lumbia was a brilliant one. A student
of men rather than of books, he was
notably a man of great executive and
organizing ability and a financier of
keen Insight and sound Judgment. It
was during his administration that the
university moved from downtown to
its present commanding site, covering
four city squares on Morningside
Heights. He himself gave $1,000,000
for the erection of the stately library
building, which is a memorial to his
father.
He brought about the co-ordination
of the various schools that now make
up the university, and founded the uni
versity council, which made the sphere
of university influence include nearly
5000 students and nearly 600 names on
the roster of instructors.
Asked what he considered the great
est need of American colleges and uni
versities today, Mr. Low once said:
"Each college has its specific need.
When I was in Chicago ,1 urged the
university in that city to become an
authority on railroads, since it was
situated In the greatest railroad cen
ter in the country. While at Johns
Hopkins I said that university should
give its attention to the negro prob
lem, for which its geographical loca
tion makes it particularly fitted. I
believe the University of California,
similarly, should devote itself to the
Asatlc question. As for Columbia, sit
uated In this city, I believe Its atten
tion should be turned to finance, and
on the human side it should study
carefully the immigration question."
WAREHOUSE LABOR SHORT
Eastern Oregon Is Unable to Get
Workmen Needed.
BAliBM, Or.. Bept. 17. (Special.) In
Eastern Oregon warehousemen are ex
periencing a shortage of labor, accord
ing 10 information received here by O.
P. Hoff, State Labor Commissioner.
Through Its Pendleton office the Pa
clfio Coast Elevator Company handles
63 warehouses, and It-reports that for
the last two weeks workmen have been
difficult to obtain. Wages are said to
bo $3 a day for inexperienced men and
from $3.60 to $3.75 for experienced.
According to Mr. Hoff there are 281
warehouses In Oregon under the man
agement or direction of 12S individuals
or firms.
In the Willamette Valley wages for
warenousemen are less than In Eastern
Oregon. An average of the highest
wages paid in 11 Willamette Valley
points gives the wage as $2.68 a day.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Sept. 17. Neither George Tur
ner nor Miles Polndexter, nominated
respectively as Democratic and Repub
lican candidate for the Senate in Wash
ington, complied with the law regard
ing the filing of preliminary campaign

prisonment of one year, or both; but
proving willful violation Is difficult.
To be within the law the candidates
should have mailed their expense ac

Judge Turner. mailed his on Septem-
September 6, setting forth expenditures
of $1760 and the receipt of 700 con
.ributlon from W. P. Kdrls.
Judge Turner mailed his on Septem
ber 9. stating that he had received
nothing and had spent nothing. Judge
Turner added: "I had supposed, until
my attention was called to the law,
that this statement was to bo made
after the primary and hence my fail
ure to send It in before."

ROOSEVELT PUNS
HIS WESTERN TOUR
Smashing Campaign Mapped
Out With Promise of
Much Activity.
SIX SPEECHES PROPOSED
Colonel to Take Firm Grasp on Reins
of Republican Presidential Fight.
Dates Not Definitely Known
Except at Battle Creek.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt has taken a firm grasp
on the reins of the Republican Presi
dential campaign. No longer will his
interest In the election of Charles E.
Hughes be merely apathetic
He Intends to enliven things through
out the country in the real old-fashioned
political way. A new speaking
tour Is being arranged for him, and
whether some of the powers that be at
the National party headquarters like it
or not. the Colonel's guiding and ex
perienced hand may be noticed hence
forth in shaping the lssues.upon which
the coming election depends.
A long luncheon conference at Oyster
Bay this week with Frank H. Hitch
cock and George W. Perkins resulted
in the Colonel's decision to make at
least half a dozen more speeches for
Mr. Hughes. One of these will be de
livered in New York City. The date
has not yet been determined.
West to Hear Addresses.
Another will be given at Battle
Creek. Mich., on September 30. There
will be at least two others In the West.
In fact,' the Colonel's endeavors will
be directed with greatest strength to
ward campaigning throughout the
West and Middle West, where both
sides concede the real fight will be
waged.
The manner In which the Colonel
took hold is no less interesting than
the fact itself. He is anxious that Mr.
Hughes shall be elected to fill Mr. Wil
son's place In the White House, but he
is not as optimistic about the outcome
as some of those enthusiasts who prate
about roseate prospects. Colonel Roose
velt realizes that a hard fight is ahead
of both old parties, and his determi
nation to "loosen up" and get into the
battle will be extremely gratifying to
Republicans and Progressives who
think the same way.
What has happened In the last few
weeks Is Just this:
Hitchcock actively Joined the forces
of the Republican National committee
recently, determined to contribute all
his personal efforts to electing Mr.
Hughes. Having nursed along the
Hughes boom In the early pre-conven-
tlon days, Mr. Hitchcock has a certain
amount of personal pride as well as
party feeling m accomplishing that
end. His friends among the Hughes
managers, who always wanted to see
him at the. head of the campaign any
how, used their influence with, a
weather eye on the country-wide sit
uation and Hitchcock got a sort of
roving commission to perform through
out the states, rounding up things that
needed experienced attention and had
not received It.
Blsr Flsjht Is Planned.
He will undertake that mission be
fore long. Meanwhile, however, some
of the Hughes campaigners realized
that a more vigorous fight must be
fought In the doubtful states of the
Middle West. Colonel Roosevelt, ap
parently, took the lead In turning that
realization into action. So he sent for
Hitchcock and George W. Perkins.
They went down to Sagamore Hill and
the talk was long and earnest. Big
Issues were discussed, speeches out
lined, and. In general, a more active
Roosevelt participation In the cam
paign agreed upon.
There was some pretty sparring at
National headquarters when Hitchcock
returned from Oyster Bay. It was
stated at first that Hitchcock visited
the Colonel at the request of National
Chairman- William R. Willcox, who
wanted the Colonel to assist In the
campaign generalship. It developed
later, though, that the Colonel himself,
had sent for Hitchcock and Perkins,
and that Hitchcock had an Important
message to convey to the National
chairman as a result of the Sagamore
Hill meeting.
That message. It may be said, was
substantially that Theodore Roosevelt
would get Into the campaign In earnest
and carry the Hughes standard wher
ever the fight seemed to be thickest.
Points of Attack; Awaited.
Just where the Colonel's six or more
speeches will be delivered has not yet
been decided. The Colonel's friends
who watched his performance In Maine
last week say they have received re
ports from all sections of the country
to the effect that the Lewlston utter
ance summoned Roosevelt to the fore In
the campaign; that It carried consider
able weight throughout the West,
and if followed up would go a long way
toward lining up the Progressive vote.
The Colonel was fired with enthusiasm
In that speech, and the feeling has con
tributed to his decision to continue the
effort throughout the campaign.
Frankly speaking, experienced Re
publican observers believe that they
must make tronger efforts to corral
the Progressive vote throughout the
Middle West and Western states. It Is
there that the Colonel's fire Is needed.
This election. It is generally con
ceded, will be determined by that large
element of former Progressives who
will return this year to one or the other
of the old parties. It will be a two
party fight from start to finish. And
to bring this now floating element back
to the Republican fold Is the task ahead
of the Hughes managers.
New York will be the principal bat
tleground In the Last for the Repub
licans. The rest of the East, with the
exoeptlon. possibly, of New Jersey, Is
believed to be comparatively easy.
MRS. MARYE IS HONORED

said.
"At Iwahlg we have 1000 prisoner

self-supporting. The main object of
our prison system Is educational, and
we strive always to fit men for life

the Victrola brings them jto you true to life, just as they are
