10 WOULD B CANDIDATE LANE NAILS THE LID TIE HIE Municipal Association Not Al together Pleased. Foes of Liquor Seek to Have Saloons Near the Fair. -Grounds Closed. - TOO MANY PROHIS NAMED Selection- of Gambell and McDcvitt by Citizens' Organization Not Entirely to the Liking: of Some Members. ALL DEPENDS ON MAYOR NIL MAY T NOMINEES He Will Be Asked to Call - Special Session of Council "When Peti tion for Vote to Revoke Li censes Will Be Filed. Determined, if possible, to rid the Fair entrance of saloons, members of the Anti Saloon League will propose to the Mayor today or tomorrow that he call a special meeting of the Council next Wednesday, for passrce of ' an ordinance submitting to the electors of the city, June 5, the question whether liquor licenses at that place shall be revoked. The foes of the Fair liquor shops will submit to the tounclI at the special meet ing, if the Mayor will consent to call that body, a proposed ordinance Initiated by signatures of at least 13 per cent of the votes cast three years ago in the city election, that being the number pre-, scribed by the charter. When such a petition shall be presented to the Council that body is required by the charter to submit the initiated ordinance to the voters of the city ''at the next city elec tion." "It all depends on the Mayor." said Dr. J. R. Wilson last night, president of the Oregon Anti-Saloon League. "If he will consent to call the Council together next Wednesday, we can .present the petition at that time, signed by the required num ber of electors. In that case the Coun cil must pass the ordinance, submitting the question of revoking the saloon li censes, to the people. Unless the Mayor Is willing to call the Council Into special session next Wednesday, the question can not "be submitted to the voters at the city election June 5, and the settlement of the issue will have to be deferred. "In that case we may present the peti tion to tho next regular meeting of the Council and that body can order a special election. "The number of signatures to the peti tion would not be more than 2200, and I am quite sure that number could be se cured Tuesday and Wednesday, In time to present It to the Council Wednesday." According to the law the ticket for the election June. 5 must be prepared by the City Auditor not later than Thursday. This means that the" initiated ordinance must be presented to the Council not later than Wednesday. The Council has shown unwillingness to revoke the licenses of the saloons at the Fair entrance and foes of the liquor shops have been unable to move that body to act in the way they desire. If an ordinance were initiated by petition the Council would have no choice but to sub mit it to the approval pf the electors, and if it should receive $. majority of the votes cast on the question It would have as much binding force as If passed by the Council. OR. LANE'S OPEN LETTER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE AVRITES TO .MAYOR WILLIAMS, DIkcunmcn Latter5 Remark Regarding Mis Service an Superintendent of Stnte Insane Arj-Iuib. PORTLAND. May 20. An open letter. to the Hon. George H. Williams: In to day's Oregonian there appears an inter view with you. now Mayor of the city. also at this time a candidate for re-elec tion to that office. In which Interview you have deemed it proper to speak of me, jour opponent for that office, as follows: "Dr. Lane has little conception of the duties of this office. The most Important episode of his career was his appoint- J mept as Superintendent of the State In- i sane Asylum, from which he was removed by Governor Pennoyer." This remark was not a kindly one, and Its trend is to belittle me In the eyes of the people, before whom I am a candi date in opposition to yourself, and as such entitled to your respect as an hon orable opponent, and for that matter as an intelligent one, so long as I demean myself as such. In respect to my conception of the duties of the office .of Mayor, I do not mind saying that I am quite willing to con cede that they differ radically from yours If one may be. allowed to judge them as they appear In your public acts during the last three years. For one thing. If I am elected I shall not conceive it my duty, nor In good taste on my part, as a servant of the. people, to mete out re buff tp such honorable citizens as may call my attention to frauds which are be ing practiced In the consummation of contracts for public work for which the public have to pay. And if In the public outcry which ensues the work of the contractor has to be done over, I do not believe that I shall ever be quite able to bring myself to set up that style of doing business as the proper method to pursue, to acquire the best and most economical results, and finally set it up again as a logical reason for my re-election to office. Upon the contrary. It Is my conception that it will be my duty to demand of the contractor an exact fulfillment of his con tract, and- to sec that he is protected by fair and honorable' supervision and paid for his work when properly done and not before. This Is but. simple justice, and is a rule which I will not find hard to follow. My conception of my duty will never allow me to deceive. inyself into believing that the city' can honorably pay Its legiti mate expenses by going1-into partnership with a parcel of "brace game" gamblers lor a share of- the raKcoff which can be fleeced out -of the less' sophisticated of o.ur citizens and the stranger who conies among us. Nor do I believe that any profit can be made by such methods of carrying on public business. Quite as logical .would It be and more profitable perhaps to Import a few skilful cracks men and turn them loose upon the banks of this city for a share of the loot to be thus acquired. It will be well within my conception of my duty, if I am elected, that the peace and the welfare of the poor unhappy wives and- children of the victims of the" gam bler are of vastly more Importance than that of a class of men who blaze a broader trail of destitution for mothers, ruin for boys, and drag down to .hell more girls than any other class among us. I am a bit particular about the class of persons that I hook up with." and. in that time to come it may well be that my soul will starve for a drop of water, and If It should so happen I would prefer. that 1 might leek with soaae show of -hope into the eyes of the mothers of little children. xour reasoning may be specious, but nevertheless there will be no partnership with Larry nor Pete nor Jack, If 1 am elected Mayor. It Is my conception of duty that the orderly saloon is here by law, as I am, and unless the law shall be changed, the keeper is entitled to fair treatment, and he will get it at my hands. It-is also my conception that the dives where "knockout drops" are administered and the stranger Is enticed and robbed of his money are evil places, and the road is going to be an unpleasant one for the keeper of the same to travel If I am elected. These are a few of my conceptions of the duties of the office, which I will owe It to the people to see clearly, if I am elected. There are many others, and If space permitted I would not object to speaking them out quite frankly, for It is not my Intention nor wish In any manner to "run cunning" In a race for the office of Mayor of this city. Wherein you have said that the most important episoJe of my career was my service as Superintendent of the Oregon State Insane Asylum, you speak truly. Jt was, and I question If I would be able to do better service for the city as Its Mayor than I did for the state as Superintendent of- the asylum. If I did as well, I would have nothing to be ashamed of, nor be compelled to enter into a campaign of explanations in the event that I sought a re-election. There was nr. aftermath of scandals nor In dictments of my fellow-workers and assistants when I left that institution. Quite willingly will I let my record thefbstand for my pledges to the peo ple here. 1 do not say that any other man could not have managed it better than 1 did, but I do say that I did my best. Wherein you say that I was removed from that office by Governor Pennoyer you are In error. I served my full term and only failed to be re-elected to a second one. and just how that medicine tastes, many a man at some time sets proof from his own palate. At any rate there were no charges of graft or fraud or incompetence brought against my conduct of the office at that time or since, nor may it be done lightly by anyone. It sounds to me as If there might be a bit of malice in your state ment that I was removej by Governor Per.noyer. Before the late Governor Pennoyer died we met. and buried all animosities and shook hands, and he at that time urged me to run for Mayor against yourself, then a candidate for your first election, assuring me of his support If I did so and his hearty good wishes; and it pains me to add that he expressed a lack of confidence In your ability to give the city a decent and just management of its affairs. When I opened this campaign I said publicly that upon my part there would be nothing personal, nothing vindictive, nothing said by me which would wound your feelings. Ou fight should be cour teous 2s beseemed gentlemen who as pired to represent the city as Its ex ecutive head. So far as I am concerned I would like quite well to be allowed to continue In that manner to the endt On the other hand I shall not patiently, allow myseir to oe Hamstrung and the man who undeftakes to do so had i best he well Intrenched before he starts upon 'those tactics.

THEIR NAMES FILED Citizens' Party Nominees Are With the Auditor. OTHERS OFFER PETITIONS Fearing to Delay Until Monday, the Independent Candidates Take Xo Risk in Complying With Law Regarding Nominations. Just before the closing of the City Auditor's office yesterday afternoon, a delegation from the citizens party filed separate petitions of nomination in be half of those selected by the political organization for offices not' otherwise filled by the indorsement of a candi date from any other party. Altogether there were submitted the names of five candidates for as many different municipal offices, distributed as fol lows: T. B. McDevItt, Sr., S25 Weldler street, for Municipal Judge, with 651 signatures to his petition, Albert N. Gambell, 7GS Halght ave nue, for City Auditor, with C69 signa tures. Harry W. Stone, 195 Eleventh street, for CouncIlman-at-Large,' with 66S sig natures. Dr. S. A. Brown. 407 Yamhill street, for Councilman-at-Large. with 669 sig natures. M. A. Raymond, W02 East Washing ton street, for Councilman, Eeighth Ward, Hugh W. Wallace, nominee of the citizens party for Councilman from the Second Ward, had already filed his petition. Opposed to him are Larry Sul livan, the Republican candidate, and Charles Duggan, who will make the race for the Democrats. Leaders of the citizens" party insist that they will not be required to file petitions In behalf of Dr. Harry Lane, their candidate for Mayor, nor of any other candidate whom they indorsed, claiming that this was" rendered unnec essary by reason of their petitions hav ing already been filed. It Is the pre vailing sentiment among them, how ever, that considerable campaign lit erature will have to be promulgated in order that voters may become properly apprised of the situation. In adltlon to the foregoing. Fred T. Merrill, incumbent, yesterday filed a petition as independent candidate-. lor Councilman from the Third Ward: John Corklsh, whose residence is given as 509 Morrison street, filed a petition as Independent, candidate for Council man from the Fourth Ward In opposi tion to George S. Sheppard. the regular Republican nominee; and John M. Pif tensrer. of 624 Borthwick street, filed a petition as Independent candidate for Councilman from lhe Ninth Ward In apposition to R. E. Menefee, the Re publican nominee. The Democrats have made no nominations thus far in either of the two last-named -wards. REVOCATION OF LICENSE. City Attorney McXary Thinks Coun cil Acted Ulcfirally. It Is the opinion ot City Attorney Mc Xary that the actkm of. the City Council in Tevoking the liquor license of the Orpheum Theater last weanesnay was void. This conclusion Is based upon the Idea that the body had na "right to adopt such a relutlo witfeeut accMRp&aytog It with an offer to refund the money for the unexpired portion of the license of j the establishment. Under the clrcum i stances he thinks the Orpheum can legal- the quarter for which the license has been paid. J The Police Department "hag been cn, 1 joined from interfering .'with the liquor Itramc of the place, and as this- restrain ing order is made returnable in ten days, no action can be taken against it until this suit Is disposed of. Deputy License Officer M. A. McEach ern has served notice on Chief Hunt, as well as the proprietors of the Orpheum. to the effect that the liquor license of the latter had been revoked, but did not tender any portion of the amount due on the unexpired term for the reason that the resolution passed by the City Council did not carry with It any such Instruc tion. The usual practice, according to the officer above-named. Is to make an offer to refund at the time of service of revocation of a license, and then. In case of any refusal to accede to the terms of the order and close the place of business forthwith, to make arrests upon a warrant. In the meantime the clinking of glasses and the filling of the flowing bowl goes merrily on at the Orpheum, all of which Is Interspersed with the gay festivities Incident to the song of the siren. THE BOSTON STORE. It's the Talk of the Town. The big forced sale of the Boston Store's doomed stock of dry goods, clothing, cloaks, capes. Jackets, men's and boys' hats, furnishing goods, etc.. comer First 'and Salmon streets, now In the hands of G. W. Groves & Co., the world's greatest bargain-givers. For the past three days It has been necessary to keep the doors locked fully two-thirds of the time. Crowds of eager bargain-seekers have jammed the largo store to the doors, and the eager and rap'ld way in which people maae tneir purchases proves Devond a doubt that what they read in Groves & Co.'s advertisements they found to be the truth. Never before In Portland's busi ness history has high-grade merchandise been sold at such ridiculously-low orlces. Goods are being sold or less than the cost of the raw material, and hundreds of people have been turned away, owing to the fact that the large force of sales people have found It utterly Impossible to wait upon all who came. More help has been engaged for the coming week, and oroves & Co. wish to announce that they will make every possible effort to wait upon the crowds who will surely be pres ent. The stock Is doomed, and even dol lar's worth of merchandise must be turned Into cash before June 1. The lease of the store expires on that date, and the build Ing must be vacated. No one can pos sibly atiord to miss this grand opportu nity to secure hlghgrade merchandise at ta small fraction of Its actual value, so If you vaiue money, ao not ian to be on hand, promptly at 9 o'clock, Monday morning, when the doors will again he thrown open to admit the eager crowd or Dargamseekers. Lectures on the Indian. "The Old, Old Indians" was the subject oi a. icciure aeuverea last nignt at the Men's" Resort and People's institute, -by iuuiniu oiroiig, ana was. largely at tended. A course of three Saturday-even Ing lectures on "Indians of the Pacific Northwest" Is promised by Mc Strong, and the one last night was the first of "the series.

Found Dead In a Room. ueorge tu Stewart, colored, was found dead in a room by Patrolmen Courtney and Jones at an 'early hoar yesterday morning. Coroner Flnley was called. Death was found to be due to asthma. Stewart was aged 35 'years, ifie room in which lie was found is situated at S64 Secend street. Successful experiments have fceen made Rear .Cadiz, Spain, with an invention ef "Sener S&teerak for directing terpedees at sea fey ens T Hertzian wave Not satisfied with all the nominees on the citizens ticket, which was framed last Wednesday night In con tention, some leaders of the reform forces have announced tnat they win pick out their candidates from other .tickets. The dissatisfaction comes from the nomination of five prohibi tionists for the Council, who are con sidered to be several too many and of A. N. Gambell for Auditor, and T. B. McDevItt, Sr., for Municipal Judge. Therefore when the Municipal Asso ciation shall make Its Indorsements this week several nominees on the citi zens' ticket may find themselves de serted. At last Wednesday night's conven tion, the programme failed In several cases, notably as to Auditor, for which the leaders did not Intend to make any nomination or Indorsement. Yet a nom ination was made, that of A. N. Gam bell, on motion of a Democrat. Consid erable dissatisfaction has cropped out since. Satisfied With Devlin. "So far as I have heard," remarked a member of the executive committee of the association last night, "Auditor Devlin has been an efficient officer. When an officer of government gives satisfactory service the association has no fight to make on him." Some talk against McDevItt for Mu nicipal Judge has been heard but not much Inasmuch as the reform forces are not so well satisfied with the reg ular Republican nominee. Cameron, for that place, as with Devlin for Auditor. The citizens' camp Is content with Lane for Mayor and with most of its nominees for the Council. But the five Prohibition nominees out of the 15 se lected by the convention for the Coun cil, they fear will capsize the reform cause. The citizens' workers are very desirous of electing a majority of the next Council as well us the Mayor, be cause, the legislative branch of the city government Is quite as impor tant to their purposes as the executive.. Slate Was Broken. It was not intended by prime movers of tli convention that R. R. Steele. Prohi bition nominee for Councllman-at-Large. should be indorsed by the Citizens nor that three other Prohibition nominees for ward Councilmen should be chosen as the candidates of the convention. In the sev enth Ward, Samuel Morrow. Prohibition nominee, was Indorsed over J. E. Martin, who was to have been the Citizens' nomi nee and whose petition of nomination was almost complete. Nor was It Intended that P. Anderson. Prohibitionist In the Ninth, should defeat John M. PIttenger for the Indorsement, and yesterday PIt tenger filed a petition of Independent nom inatlon with the City Auditor, despite the victory of Anderson In the convention. But what makes most indignation jn tne "Citizen ranks Is the refusal of Prohibition Ists to line up with the Citizens' ticket. after five of their number have been put on the ticket and leaders of the Prohibi tion party took part in the making of the ticket in the Citizens' Convention and apparently bound themselves to support that ticket. WILL SUPPORT WILLTAMS. Republican .Club, by Resolution, De clares in His Favor. To show that they Intended to support Mayor Williams for re-eljctlon, although' not Williams men before the primaries. the members of the Republican Club of Portland last night adopted a resolution promising their best help to the Mayor.

Glafke are expected to sit on the platform. The resolution adopted last night follows. Whereas. In the recent primary election several worthy gentlemen entered Into friendly contest, within party lines, for the nomination for Mayor of the City of Portland; and. n hereas, faucn primary election was fairly and honestly conducted, each candl date having an equal and fair chance, with his rights properly protected under the law; and. Whereas, The candidate indorsed and supported by this, the Republican Club of Portland, failed to receive the desired nomination at such election; and. Whereas. In the interest of party unity The Prevalence of Bright's Disease "Dr. Loomis states from clinical ob servations and from a large number of autopsies at Bellevue Hospital, that 90 per cent of men and women, over 40 suffer from some form of Bright': disease." Denver Medical Times. This profoundly serious statement from one of the highest authorities in the United States, means that the average person'3 kidneys do not work -right, and that, what is commonly call ed Kidney Trouble is Bright's Dis ease, and is more common than people have any idea of. And the census bears out Loomis' distressing conclusions, for It shows that the deaths from Bright's Disease are simply appalling. Increasing from 22.330 in 1S90 to 58,748 In 1900. The admission of a Kidney trouble Is a common salutation. Mild at first, the patient Is .seldom frightened till It has thoroughly fastened. The realiza tion that it is Bright's Disease comes slowly, as the later symptoms develop and the usual treatment being futile, death results. Fulton's Renal Compound Is the only cure known for Bright's Disease.
