Howell Says' That He
Will Support Him.
ASKS HIS FRIENDS TO AID
This Action Will Affect the
Primary.
MAKES STRONG COMBINATION
If Albee Loses tc Republican Norn
.nation for Mayor Then Howell
Will Be Free to Run as
an Independent.
"I am going to support Albee and re
quest my friends and supporters to do
the same."
With these -words, spoken yesterday
afternoon, George H. Howell, member of
the Executive Board and mentioned as a
strong candidate for Mayor of Portland,
threw aside all pretensions to the throne,
as it were, and cast his sword at the feet
of the champion of the Municipal Asso
ciation. If the Howell supporters do as
their leader requests, the move will have
the effect of making Albee a more for
midable candidate in the primaries of
May 6.
When approached yesterday afternoon
"on the subject, the officers and members
of the executive committee of the Muni
cipal Association -were reticent about ma
king statements.
"I believe Mr. Howell is coming to our
support," said one. "but I have nothing
to say regarding the move."
Has Large Following.
Howell is recognized as a man with a
large following and a great labor con
stituency. He has back of him the mem
bers of the police force, of the Fire De
partment and of the several labor or
ganizations, many of which have openly
pledged their support If he determined to
be a candidate. Though Howell has never
actually come to the front with a declara
tion of his candidacy, lt has been under
stood that he was making a campaign. It
was not expected that ho would be a
candidate in the primaries, as his cam
paign managers have openly avowed that
the chances there would be slim, as the
labor constituency would not. as a rule,
mako a showing at the primaries. There
fore. Howell was looked upon by other
candidates as a man who would come out
Independent after the primaries and make
the most of the battle.
His announcement that he will support
Albee, therefore, comes as a surprise to
many of his friends and supporters. It
Is believed that the move has been taken
to offset the strenuous campaign of W. B.
Glafke, and the desired result is to defeat
Glafke In the primaries. On. the other
hand it Is intimated, though not admitted,
by certain members of the Municipal As
sociation, that. should Albee. backed by
the Howell support, fall to carry the pri
maries, he will retire from the field and
the association will, in compensation for
Howell's support at the primaries, sup
port Howell as an independent candidate.
It Is deemed that In this manner the re
formers will have a chance to win out in
the end, either by means of Albee in tho
primaries, or, that falling, by means of
Howell as an Independent candidate.
Offsets Glafke's Strength.
"We recognize that Glafke Is a strong
candidate and has a chance in the pri
maries," said a prominent official of the
Municipal Association yesterday. "We
believe he will be one of the most popular
candidates."
This, coupled with the fact that Glafke
will draw, in a measure, votes that would
otherwise support Albee, Is supposed to
be the prime reason for the Howcll-Albee
combination. On the other hand, Howell
never expected to run In the primaries,
and, on the contrary, has said he would
not; and the fact that he will throw his
support to Albee loses him nothing, as
he gets the support of the Municipal As
sociation in turn if Albee does not carry
the primaries, and if Albee does carry
the primaries the chances would be slim
in any particular.
The Albee people and the Howell people
are to get together early In the week and
make final arrangments.
Mor than 25 petitions are now being- cir
culated about the city for names of Albee
supporters, and Tuesday evening at S
o'clock, in the Alisky Hall, the Albee
Club will be formed for the avowed pur
pose of electing him Mayor, if such a
thing is possible. A number of prominent
men In Portland will address this meet
ing, officers will be elected and plans of
campaign discussed.
"WILL ISSUE MUNICIPAL BONDS
St. Johns Council Will Call Special
Election for Purpose.
At a mass meeting of the citizens of St.
Johns, held last nlghc In Holbrook's Hall,
lt was decided to support the Council in
calling a special election In the near fu
ture to enable the electors to vote on the
question of Issuing- between $10,000 and
$15,000 of municipal bonds to pay the debt
of the city, amounting to about $3000, pur
chase ground on which to erect a city
hall and to erect a public dock. Mayor
W. H. King called the meeting to order
and presided. He announced that the
meeting had been called to get an expres
sion of the people.
City Attorney S. H. Greene made a
statement as to the finances of the city.
He said that the cost of the fire apparatus
purchased, amounting to $1750, a debt of
$400 to A. L. Miner, a public dock costing
nearly $300, and some other obligations
made the debt about $3000. Bonds were
to be Issued purely for public utilities and
for nothing else, under-the charter. The
City Attorney explained that the pur
poses and amount of the bonds to be is
sued would have to be specified In the
call for the special bond election.
As to the amount that would be re
quired to clear off the debt and leave
enough to purchase grounds, it was esti
mated that between $10,000 and $30,000
would be needed. A. S. Douclas spoke
for $20,000 as the right amount to provide
all the things that would be necessary,
but others spoke for a lesser sum.
It was Anally decided as the sense of
the meeting that the Council should make
a careful estimate of the amount of
money required to pay the debt and for
the fire apparatus contracted for, secure
grounds and erect a public hall, and com
plete the public dock, and then call a
special election to enable the people to
vote for or against the Issue of the
bonds. At this same election the cow
question will go to the people also, to de
termine whether cows shall be prohlblt-d
from running at large.
City Attorney Greene was asked wheth
er the Council had authority to Issue
licenses for saloons and other things un
der the charter, but he said he would
submit an opinion at the meeting of the
Council next Monday evening. It was
announced that the taxable property of
St. Johns was fixed at $360,000, and that
the revenue from taxation would be about
$900, not enough to meet current expenses.
AD0LPHE WOLFE BACK HOME
Compares Portland to Heidelberg In
Point of Beauty.
Beautiful Heidelberg, famous as the seat
of a celebrated German university, Is
toasted In song and story because Nature
has been kind in placing it amid charm
ing surroundings in which river, hill, an8.
plain make a picture. A stein song- has
even been composed In Its honor in "The
Prince of Pllsen," and Richard Mansfield,
the greatest American actor, has made
"Old Heidelberg" a vehicle in which he
has gained one of his moet lasting artistic
successes. Heidelberg students have car
ried its fame over the world. It Is there
fore pleasing to be told that our own Port
land is very similar in beauty of situation
and natural advantages to Heidelberg,
Germany. So says Adolphe Wolfe, vice
president of Lipman, Wolfe & Co., who re
turned last night from a 13 months' trip
to Europe. Mr. Wolfe is one of the di
rectors of the Lewis and Clark corpora
tion. Is vitally Interested in the success1
of the Exposition, and he Is a keen, ob
serving business man whose opinion is
worth something.
"March 29, 1S04, we that is. Mrs. Wolfe,
myself. Miss Florence Wolfe and Master
George and Miss Stella Wolfe sailed from
New York for Bremen on board the
steamer Kaiser Wllhelm der Grosse, and
by a curious coincidence we sailed from
Cherbourg In the same steamer and land
ed in New York on the return trip March
29, 1905," stated Mr. Wolfe. "No. I didn't
plan to have the matter happen that way.
It was Just a coincidence. We placed my
two younger children George and Stella
at school at Heidelberg, and Mrs. Wolfe,
myself and Miss Florence Wolfe spent the
time traveling over Europe. Heidelberg
looks very much like Portland; a river
runs through the city and there is a sim
ilarity in the beauty of natural surround
ings, but the streets are much better kept
than here. Nature has done a lot for
Portland, but the people have not done
enough. If Portland were In Germany, it
would be the prettiest place on the face
of the earth.
"Over in Europe, in the larger cities I
observed how well the streets are kept
and how clean they arc. In pavements,
asphalt. Belgian block and macadam were
used, and the surface of the streets was
kept in repair. Did a hole appear any
where on a pavement. It was Immediately
repaired, before travel made it worse. I
was last in Europe In 1S76, when many
people over there looked upon Americans
as adventurers. Now, Americans are on
perfect terms of equality with everybody,
and their presence is welcome wherever
they care to go. This Is so to a marked
extent in business circles. I met a great
many Americans, particularly In the south
of France and Italy, and among them ad
vertised the Lewis and Clark Exposition
in this city to the best of my ability. Half
of those I spoke to promised to visit our
Exposition. In preference to going to Eu
rope this Summer and early Fall, and I
have a list of people who wish me to find
rooms for them during' a part of the Ex
position period.
"We visited Germany, Austria, Switzer
land, Belgium, England. France and Italy.
We especially enjoyed the Riviera, in the
south of France, and think the three
greatest cities we saw are Paris, London
and Vienna. The most beautiful country?
Italy. Travelers generally agree that In
music and the fine arts Europe leads tho
world, but In America we lead In commer
cial activity, business, and in better ways
of living. This view has been strongly
Impressed on me during my visit abroad.
The greatest stores I saw In London and
Paris are not to be compared with Wana
maker's, in New York, or Marshall Field
& Co.'s, in Chicago, and several others.
We also excel In railroad travel, hotels
and time-saving devices. With great
pleasure I visited my former home at
Hohenzollern, Hechingen, Germany. Still,
lt Is with greater pleasure that I And my
self home again, among my friends. Port
land still remains my favorite city, and
after a tour among many cities I prefer
this one as a permanent home."
