STRAW VOTE BOYS ACTIVE Tests Thus Far SIiow Baker Leading Daly in Main Contest Baker Victory Beet for Candidates for Commissioner. Only eight actual campaign working nays remain before the city election June 4. The candidates are warming- up lor a lively finish. Next week will be the busiest of the campaign. There will be meetings every night in various parts of the city. ins straw-vote boys will be particu Jarly busy. Speaking- of straw votes, the Anti Slue Law League is preparing- to take a. comprehensive straw vote In all parts or tne city in the next few days Twenty-eight ballot boxes were dis tributed yesterday, with ballots containing- spaces for first, second- and third-choice votes for all the candidates lor Mayor and Commissioner, and with four of the more important initiative measures. Eleven more ballot boxes will be distributed today. These votes will be counted Satur day. Next week a. second straw vote will be taken to indicate Just how the voters feel about the campaign in the final week. Straw votes so far taken Indicate that the main contest for Mayor is between George L. Baker and Will H. Daly, with Baker slightly in the lead. TJnder the auspices of the Multnomah Commercial Club, a debate on the $6, 000.000 road-bond issue will be held at Multnomah tonight between E. J. Adams, State Highway Commissioner, and J. C. Cunningham. The debate will be held in the Laf-a-Lot clubhouse, one block north of the Multnomah school house. It will begin at 8 o'clock. The road-bond measure will also be voted on June 4. The chances for election of each of the various candidates for City Com missioner will be increased Just 50 per cent by the election of George L. Baker as Mayor, and the reason is this: Two Commissioners are to be elected in any case, but the election of Mr. Baker as Mayor will create a third va cancy, as his term as Commissioner has two more years to run. Mr. Baker has given his pledge in such event to vote lor the man to succeed him as Commis sioner who has the next highest vote after the two Commissioners regularly elected. There Are 16 Candidates. He feels that the man thus selected will represent the true choice of the people. This method of selection has the advantage of being fair to every one concerned, including- the candidates uiemseives, lor ii gives ttiem a 60 Der cent better chance of winning- one of ma vacancies. All seven candidates for Mayor will Fpeak at the mass meeting in the Heillg x neater tomorrow night. The candi aates will speak mainly upon parks and playgrounds and set forth their at titudes on converting Marquam gulch into a playground, but they also will offer their reasons for aspiring- to the .mayor s cnair ana bid for support. Besides the candidates. Mrs. S. M. uiumauer will speak. She will plead particularly for parks and playgrounds. xne programme will open with mov ing pictures or Peninsula Park, a mod ern playground, and contrasting nie- tures of Marquam g-ulch, showing chil- oren playing in the debris will follow.

"Under abnormal conditions brought on by the war," concluded Mr. jvudu. "the people are carrying a big burden. For that reason It will be my purpose to keep taxes as low as -possible. Public funds should be spent only for abso lutely necessary purposes. There never was a time when our city government needed capable and tried business men at its head as now." George L. Baker, candidate for May or, called attention yesteraay to tne fact that he had been misunderstood in a quotation attributing to him the statement, in an address before the Laurelhurst Club, that policemen now have one day off in seven. What Mr. Baker said was that they now have two days off a month, but that he be lieves they should have one day off in seven, like other citizens. MYRIGK TRIAL DELAYED DEFENDANTS LAWYERS CONFER WITH DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Six Prospective Jurors Obtained to Try- Theatrical Manager on Charge , of Aasanlt. $100,000,000 MARK SET COUNTRY-WIDE CAMPAIGN FOR RED CROSS FUNDS PLANNED. Edward J. Myrick. theatrical man ager, was placed on trial yesterday aft ernoon before Circuit Judge Bingham on a charge of criminal assault, last January, on Adele Ella. It was late in the afternoon when the case was start ed, and only six Jurors were secured be fore adjournment. For nearly an hour before the case was called, attorneys tor ftir. .aaynctt were in consultation with District At torney Evans. Even after the hearing began, John F. Logan, or counsel xor the defense, secured another delay of half an hour after explaining to the court that such a postponement might result in expediting the trial. This action led to reports around tne Courthouse that the case might be set tled without trial in a way that would be satisfactory to the District Attorney and the parties concerned. If such ne gotiations were under way, however, it was evident later -mat tney naa not been successful. Trial of the case finally started shortly before 4 o'clock. This delay evidently was displeasing to some two score women who crowded the third floor corridor early in the afternoon, bent upon listening to the trial of the case. Many of the women remained, however, and the courtroom was crowded when the attorneys began their tiresome task of selecting a Jury. Six prospective Jurors had been ex amined and passed for cause when court adjourned last evening, and it is expected that a Jury will be selected to day. During their examination of Jury men, neither Mr. Logan nor ttoDert juc- Gulre, Mr. Myrick's attorneys, gave any inkling- as to what form the defense would take. Their questions were con fined solely as to the qualification of the men who will hear the evidence. Denuty District Attorneys wammers- lcv and Hindman are conaucting tne prosecution. .

The great est campaign the Red Cross ever has waged, designed to raise $100,000,000 to care for American soldiers who fight democracy's battle on European fields and to lend a helping hand to thousands in the districts already dev astated by the war, was launched here today at a meeting of representa tives of the larger cities of the coun try. More than 100 men and women were present from 40 cities and the meeting was enthusiastic to a degree that indi cated a strong belief in the willingness of Americans to contribute to the cause of mercy. Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, announcing the amount to be raised, said it is cer tain $100,000,000 will be required "even to approach compliance with the most pressing needs." "If each Individual American con tributes his bit thare can be no fail ure," he continued. "America, we feel sure, again will demonstrate her ability to handle a big task in a big way. We shall appeal to the generosity and for the hearty co-operation of the whole American people." Mr. Davison did not go into the de tails of the plan for raising money, but an Intensive campaign will be under taken under the leadership of some of the most prominent and active men and women in each community. Efforts will be made to obtain the co-operation and assistance of recognized lead- rs who will devote their entire atten tion for the time to the work. way between Roseourg and aiynie Point. The new road will follow a water grade as much as possible and will touch the present highway in only a few places. It was stated here today by members of the surveying party that approxi mately 1100.000 would be needed to construct the proposed road. The heav lest grade will be less than five per cent, according to Mr. Kelly. The sur veyors will leave Saturday for Cres well where they will finish several on surveyed parts of the Pacific Highway.

Josselyn, can didate for Mayor, discussed rumor that he is not a fully qualified resi dent. He said in part: "That the rumor may be put to rest I wish to say that I have been a con tinuous resident of the city of Port land since July, 1907. I have only been absent a few months -at a time and wherever I have registered In the hotels it has always been from Port land, Or. "I have never registered as a resi dent of any other place than Portland and have not voted in any other place than Portland, since the date first mentioned. "My household goods have never left my residence in Mount Tabor. I have paid taxes continually and there is no j basis whatever for the statement that I am not qualified under the city charter for the office of Mayor. My case Is in no way similar to that of Mr. Laurgaard, who did register and vote elsewhere within the last three years. "The report of my ineligibility has been very strenuously circulated by my opponents, but my name is still on the ballot and If elected and my quali fication for the office is assailed, I am advised by competent lawyers that the case would undoubtedly be decided in my favor. I shall give no further at tention to the -charge unless legal Action is taken." K. K. Kubll, candidate for City Com missioner, speaking at a meeting in Linnton yesterday emphasized the necessity for efficient administration of municipal affairs and declared that. if elected, he would endeavor to keep taxes at a minimum ana adopt a pro gramme of economy consistent with goodi business.

WHEAT CROPS IN DANGER Losses in Fall and Winter Grain in Asotin Are Felt. ASOTIN, Wash., May 24. (Special.) More Fall-sown grain either rotted or was Winter killed during the pas long Winter than was ever before known in all the years that Asotin County lands have been farmed. Th greater number of those who are hav ing to re-seed wheat are planting th Marquis or Early Bart. Reports from the Palouse and Big Bend sections of Washington and parts of Montana are of the same nature. This shortage ordinarily would be made up by additional Spring planting, but with the backward season and short age of seed In many districts, this part of the Northwest faces a possibility of this year's crop falling below that of last year.

GAIN the Army and Navy Auxll- i iary has a plan on foot to do the practical thing. In fact these patriotic women who compose the Army and Navy Auxiliary have two big plans on foot. Just now the women are giving their attention to supplying the 16 companies of which the Third Ore gon Infantry is composed with 150 dish towels to each company. In ad dition to making the towels themselves. the Auxiliary has taken up the mat ter with the school children, both boys and girls, each student to supply the auxiliary with two dish towels. The other plan is for hotels In Portland to give a special merchants' lunch, the money raised to be equally divided among the 16 companies and turned over to the mess fund of each company. burnishing eacn company with dish towels is another sample of the practical way the Army and Navy Auxiliary doeB the things which count most in the Army.

The British Tommy, as he fights and frolics, a very whimsical, courageous and likeable chap, was Introduced to all Portland last night at the Heillg Theater by Captain Ian Hay Belth, of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, in his lecture under the auspices of the Junior League, for the benefit of the Portland branch of the American Red Cross. Captain Belth, whose book. "The First Hundred Thousand." remains one of the striking literary contributions ot the war, was with the first British ex peditionary force to enter France, and o?dfctMxro Toddle upstairs or ride to terial which answered the call. "The men who did not wait to count the cost or to reason why, but came at once, the first hunndred thousand. was Captain Belth's introduction. The men, who eight months later, heard and heeded Lord" Kitchener's Instruc tion: "I can't send you any reinforce ments for at least six months; you must try and hold out." Aneedotea Delight Hearers. Captain Beith's description of the assembling of these first recruits from all tasks and trades, to the bust nees of soldiering, their naive and startling conceptions of warfare and discipline, with many an anecdote apropos. lightened the theater with spontaneous laughter again and again. There was, for Instance, tne incident of the private whom Captain Beltn summoned for scouting duty and who received detailed instructions from his officer as to the reading of maps and the care with which details of topog raphy must be observed this by way of Illustrating the motley array talent in the ranks. "He said never a word." smiled Cap tain Beith. "bht took his instructions and departed. Do you know what that man turned out to be in private life? A land surveyor!" From the perplexities of the first few months, the constant drilling, the striving for a recognition of discipline. was evolved the typical British soldier "Xess than a year later. the Cap tain said with pride, "in the opening assault at the great battle of Loos. up to -that time the greatest battle in history, I saw those same men going forth, rank upon rank, many of them to their deaths, as steadily as the most seasoned troops and they were the first hundred thousand." Roatlne Warfare Inscribed. The routine of trench warfare, from the breathless watch upon the para pets for the attack that may be launched In the dark hour before dawn. through the day and into the . night again, was described inimitably, with that touch of kindly humor and keen observance that won such instant rec ognition for the qualities of Captain Beith's work as an author. AnJ once he spoke of "our battles." pausing to say with deep feeling, in nterpolatlon, " hen I say ours. I can not tell you. what a blessed thing it s to stand up and say 'ours,' and know that It includes the whole audience efore me." He told many a tale of the trenches. grave and gay and was frequently In terrupted by the applause or laughter of those who heard him. How a cer tain regiment of fusileers went to the attack kicking a football before them. . veritable scrimmage with death and booted that pigskin right into the German trenches which, needless to say. they took. And how the Tommies, hating the steel helmets because of consequent discomfort. inveighed against these obvious protections, so hat one soldier, wounded in the head, blamed his helmet for the scalp wound, when the unsightly headgear had de flected a shell. Heillg Theater In Crowded. And the Saxon troops, chaffing and proffering friendship across No-Man's- Land, in the intervals of rest from fir ing, crying out to the laughing and appreciative Tommies, "Don't shoot! We're the Saxons. The Prussians will be here on Thursday." Captain Belth bade his audience, hlch filled the big theater to stand- ng-room capacity, be of good heart. and declared that the allied arms, once upon the defense, and again at dead lock during preparation, were now forging ahead to ultimate victory, And I need not say to you, he said, "how the heart of France Is strengthened as she goes forward, drlv- ng the Invader from her soil, by the knowledge that she Is sustained and supported by the two great English speaikng races, who are together a last." The lecture was concluded by the showing of two reels of motion pic tures of trench and camp life with the British army In France, AIRMEN RAID ENGLAND GERMAN FLYERS ESCAPE.
