W. H. Paufhamus Is Sparring
to Run for Senator.
AMBITIONS ARE STATED
Former Leader of Fruit Industry
Lacks Nothing in Tunch In
Fighting Incumbent.
TUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash.. Jan. 29. Miles Polndexter.
United States Senator, will have op
position in the next election wherein
he will be a candidate to succeed
himself. This prospect, hitherto In
tangible and uncertain, takes defi
nite form in the positive promise of
W H. Paulhamus of I'u-yallup and
Sumner, made In a lengthy state
ment of his views addressed to tne
Washington state press under date
of January 26. ,
The only thin missing: from Mr.
1'aulhamus' statement, is a specific
declaration, either of his candidacy
or . toy way of placing someone el.se
in nomination. On the point that
.Senator Polndexter will be opposed,
he is unequivocal. From that point
on Mr. Paulhamus leaves each reader
to draw 'his own- conclusions. In clos
ing his statement he says. 'Those
who, whether wholly or in part, share
the views I have here expressed,
nhould endeavor to.agree upon a can
didate who has the vision, the nerve
to fight the battle, and the thick
soled shoes to go the route." From
which the only logical conclusion
must be that unless someone else who
suits him shall come to the front.
Mr. Paulhamus will tackle the Job
himself.
Ambitions Are Evident.
In point of fact, Mr. Paulhamus'
whole statement is as near a declara
tion of his own candidacy for United
States senator as it Is possible for a
man to go short of actually saying
that he will file as a candidate and
make the race.
"The state of Washington," he re
marks, "has a population of upwards
of 1.500.000, which would Indicate a
voting strength of more than 400.000.
Out of those 400.000 voters I doubt
if there are many of us who would
not feel It a proud distinction to be
a United States senator. For this
reason I do not wish to appear too
modest too much of a shrinking vio
let. .Such manifestation of diffidence
might mislead the public."
And going immediately on from
Phese admissions, Mr. Paulhamus
discloses the fact that the United
States scnatorship has twice been
put up to him for personal considera
tion. The first occasion was some
years ago, when It was rumored that
Senator Wesley 1. Jones intended to
resign to accept the place on the
federal court bench of this district,
made vacant by the retirement of
Judge Ilanford. Governor Hay pro
posed to Mr. Paulhamus that if Sena
tor Jones should resign he should
succeed to the. unexpired term by
executive appointment. Appreciating
the Intended complimjent, Mr. Paul
hamus says he declined to be consid
ered. And BKaln, while as a member
of the state senate he was fighting
on the dry side of the controversy
before prohibition became a legal
fact or fiction, Mr. Paulhamus says
the chief spokesman of the wets
offered him all tho financial and
political support necessary to make
the race for the United States sen
ate If ho would discontinue his ad
vocacy of aridity. This offer Mr.
Paulhamus spurned.
Itecord Is Stated.
All of these strictly perRonal mat
ters: these detailed accounts of how,
under certain circumstances and con
ditions, -he might already have been
chosen as United States senator, are
absolutely irrelevant and immaterial
to the case against Senator Poindex
. ter. In fact, except in the opening
paragraphs and toward the close of
the long statement, the name of Mr.
Polndexter does not appear at all. It
is almost entirely e tempered recital
of what Mr. Paulhamus has done and
tried to do in a public way, as state
senator, as an acknowledged leader
In the fruit Industry of the Pacific
northwest, and as an enterprising,
progressive and loyal citizen. It
anyone wishes to read Into this an
exposition of Mr. raulhamus' quali
fications for the United States sen
ate, the author of the statement cer
tainly Interposes no objections.
The Paulhamus statement, the sec
ond in his series In opposition to Sen
ator Polndexter, will be everywhere
accepted. Just as he Intended It to be,
as a declaration of his willingness
to make the fight In his own behalf
If sufficient encouragement is forth
coming from those who would like to
soe Mr. Polndexter superseded. It is
more than a "feeler." It Is a call to
arms and an almost frank offer of
leadership.
Pnnrh Larks Nothing.
The first Paulhamus broadside
gainst Mr. Polndexter was reported
by The Oregonlan bureau and pub
lished on January 17. This was writ
ten just before the senate took final
vote by which Senator Newberry was
confirmed In his seat, and was pred
icated on Mr. Paulhamus' belief that
Mr. Polndexter would certainly vote
in favor of Mr. Newberry as he did.
The more recent statement does not
touch on the Newberry case. Evi
dently, Mr. Pntilhamus feels that he
has plenty to say without reiteration.
A few weeks ago, having resigned
from the presidency of the Puyallup
& Sumner Fruit Growers' association
and the Western Washington Fair
association, Mr. Paulhamus put him
self In the hands of Tacoma physi
cians for a physical Inspection. He
was overworked and tired, but was
adjudged physically and mentally
sound. Certainly. In his determina
tion to make trouble for Senator
Polndexter there is nothing lacking
of the Paulhamus punch.

Salem Man, Too Tonw, Rejected
by Late President.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 29. (Special.)
L. D. Waring, now employed in the
Salem postofflce, today recalled how
he came within en ace of serving
under Theodore Koosevelt during the
Spanish-American war.
"Say, young man, I like your acts
and your looks, only that I'm afraid
of your age. How old are you?" This
was the way the late president ad
dressed Mr. Waring, according to
the story of the latter.
"Well," replied Mr. Waring, "ain't
you enough of a horseman to tell age
by. the teeth. I'll show you mine and
let you see I'm old enough. I want
to go to war, and I guess my teeth
are old enough and enough of them."
"Yes, I could tell the age of a
horse, but how could I tell the age
of a Jackass by his teeth?" Mr. Roose
velt retaliated. "m afraid you
weren't born leng enough ago, much
as I like your style. I'll Just write
to your father to make sure."
Mr. Waring raid this conversation
took place while he was at Fort
Worth, Tex., recruiting horses for
the Rough Riders, who were being
enlisted by the late president.
Mr. Waring said Mr. Roosevelt
wrote to his father, as stated in the
conversation, with the result that the
former's hopes of going to war were
blasted.

MYSTERY HOUSE IS HIT
Foreclosure on Home In Which
Bones Were Found Ordered.
TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 29. (Spe
cial.) Foreclosure of a mortgage of
$428.52 against the Rutherford mys
tery house in Tacoma was ordered
yesterday by Judge Ernest M. Card
of the superior court In favor of R. L.
Stoner. The mortgage originally was
for $800 and was to have been paid
at the rate of $35 per month.
The action to foreclose was not re
sisted, the plaintiff claiming that
he does not know where the defend
ants, John R. and Sarah R. Ruther
ford, are to be found. Since the Judg
ment of the court was entered on de
fault the defendants will have a year
in which to pay the costs of the court
action and to pay the remainder of
the promissory note.
The property gained notoriety early
in January through an Investigation
made to determine whether certain
bones found in the beating stove of
the house were the bones of Mrs.
Rutherford, who had mysteriously
disappeared in October of 1921. The
basement of the house has been
thoroughly dug up in an effort to
locate the body of the woman. All
efforts to trace Rutherford have
failed.

(Special.) The chief of the govern
ment army engineers recommended to
congress that it appropriate $265,000
for work on Willapa harbor and the
Willapa river, which gives ocean

Lawyers, Both Good Speakers and
Genial Mixers, Enjoy High-Score
Reputation for Integrity. -
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., Jan .29. Early participants in
the preliminary sparring for place in
the mayoralty contest, to be settled
at Seattle's municipal election in May,
.ire given double cause for disturb'
snce in the formal announcement of
his candidacy by Dan Landon, state
renator, and by the appearance in tne
political offing of Professor Clark V
Bissett, of the state university law
school.
Mr. Landon's campaign may be said
to have actually begun. He is not
much given to snap judgments, but
it is a matter of local political history
that as soon as his mind is made up
he gets busy. Having publicly da
clared his candidacy ror mayor, he
has already started to run. In the
fame archives it is also of record that
he is a famous vote-getter. Mayoralty
aspirants who have been feeling their
way or waiting for a compelling call
do not hesitate to recognize Mr. Lan
don as a formidable contender.
Professor's Race Vnuertaln.
Whether Professor Blsset can be
brought into the contest is problem
atical. Throughout his connection
with the university he has been de
voted to his classes, sparing time
only for patriotic and public work,
of which he has done a great aeat
during the war and since. , Recently,
when Frank Waterhouse & Co. ap
peared in bankruptcy proceedings in
the federal court, Professor Bissett
was named as receiver. It has been
only within the past few days that
his name has been brought to the
front as that of a possible candidate
for mayor.
Over and above the names of the
major'ty of those heretofore talked.
of for mayor, the names of Mr. Lan
don and Mr. Bissett, or Mr. Bissett
and Mr. Landon as the case might be.
would lead the list. This is particu
larly truce since Walter F. Meier,
present corporation counsel for the
c'ty, announced a few days ago that
he would be a mayoralty candidate.
One or two of those on the long list
recently reported by The Oregonian
bureau have "since appeared in the
open as candidates, wh'le others have
remained within reach of their
friends. Mr. Landon's announcement
will serve to trim the list somewhat;
and if this be followed by the formal
entry of Mr. Bissett, there will be a
general diversion of personal ambi
tions in other directions.
Populous District Represented.
As state senator for eight years Mr.
Landon has represented the most pop
ulous district in the state of Wash
ington, the 37th district consisting of
orecincts in the northern part of Se
attte and King county. This Is the
district, of more than 111,000 popula
tion, which is featured by State Sen
ator Palmer for purposes of compar
son in his plan to obtain legislative
reapportionment of the state by means
of the Initiative. No one questions
that Mr. Landon might continue to
represent this district as long as he
likes; but recently he declared he
would not be a candidate for re-electon,
perhaps, as It now appears, with
the thought in mind to run for mayor.
His capacity as a campaigner is
prodigious. A staunch bull-mooser
vhen that movement was on, he
sought the republican nomination for
congress from the Seattle and Kitsap
ccunty district in 1916, and for 24
hours after the vote was cast it
looked as if he had nosed ahead of
Representative John F. Miller.
Sharp Contest Probable.
v Nothing could be sharper than the
contrast between Mr. Bissett and Mr.
Landon. Both are lawyers of the ge
nial type, good mixers, easy to get
acquainted with. From that point the
divergence runs wide. Mr. Bissett is
a scholar, a polished and eloquent
orator, and always well groomed.
Except in the law and by the fruits
of personal experience, Mr. Landon
has little education, is a rough, ready
and noisy talker and as careless of
his attire as he is of the English
language. Each has many 'friends
and each enjoys a high-score reputa
tion for personal integrity.
Mr. Landon is in. Mr. Bissett may
or may not enter. If he does it should
be one of the most interesting of
Seattle's many thrilling city campaigns.
ABERDEEN GIRLS BETTER
Matrons Says Fewer Tnchaperoned
Juveniles Attend Dances.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Jan. 29. (Spe
cial.) Unchaperoned Juvenile attend
a nee at public dances during the last
year has materially decreased in
Aberdeen and the moral conditions in
the city have Improved, according to
Ida M. Schofield, police matron, who
rendered her yearly report yesterday.
Although the work of her department
has trebled since the matron was ap
pointed seven years ago, this increase
is not due to moral conditions in
Aberdeen alone, but in the whole
county.
Ttie police matrons attend all
dances and also the skating rink per
formances at Electric park, which Is
outside the city. Many mothers have
called on Mrs. Schofield and thanked
her for the aid she has rendered in
bringing daughters closer to the
home and parents.
LUMBERMEN PLAN VISIT
S00 Expected in Aberdeen During
Next Month.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 29. (Spe
cial.) Three hundred retail lumier
men, comprising about 100 members
of the New York Retail Lumber
Dealers' association, and about 200
from the Northwest Lumbermen's as
sociation of Minneapolis, will visit
Grays Harbor during February, ac
cording to announcement made by the
West Coast Lumbermen's association.
The New York group wilt arrive In
Seattle, February 13, going from
there to Tacoma and Gfays Harbor
and then to lumber districts south of
here. The exact date of arrival of the
Minneapolis group is not known.
An invitation has also been ex
tended by the West Coast Lumber
men's association to the Ohio dealers,
who are contemplating a trip to the
northwest.
Groping Aloine
in Life's Twilight
Tottering steps, shoulders bent from the long
carrying of life's too heavy burdens, withered face
lined and seamed; thin, silvery hair and fast dim
ming eyes that's life's twilight.
But in the homes where penniless, helpless old
men and women are tenderly cared for,, shrill
cracked voices are raised in childish laughter over
reminiscences of " crossing the plains " or courtship
in the days of the husking bee and the "lit'rary
society." There is peace and simple happiness there,
for old age finds joy only in its memories.
They need so little, these helpless old people, just
warmth, simple food and woolens to ward off the
"rheumatiz." But suppose nobody cared for these
pathetically feeble old folks who must, at best, de
pend upon strangers to perform those little offices
that only tender-hearted sons and daughters can do
properly. Thank God, there are big-hearted men
and women who will always care.
And, besides grandma and grandpa, there are
others who must depend this year for their very
existence upon these big-hearted men and women
who care the wayward girls, helpless babies that
nobody owns, helpless cripples, fatherless and
motherless children, the small army of men out of
work, how you wish you could help them all.
