GETS ' FAT ' APPOINTMENT
Piatt Announces Olcott as Candidate
for County Chairman to Suc
ceed Halpin Illggihs
Holds the Balance.
2CEW YORK, -Nov. 18:-(SpecJal)-Pro-clalmlng
that . President Roosovelt is in
complete sympathyTvith him. Senator
Piatt began Ills effort today to dethrone
State Chairman Odell and County Chair
man Halpin Vlth tie announcement that.
Congressman J. "Van Vechtcn Olcott Is
his candidate for chairman of the. New
York Republican County Committee. Odell
retaliated by Issuing summonses to all
the New York- County district leaders to
confer with him at the Fifth-Avenue Ho
tel next Monday and co-operate with him
In blocklng'the attempt to depose Halpin.
Senator Piatt withdrew his declaration
against the renominatlon of Governor
Higgins, In the hope that the latter would
turn his vast patronage against Odell.
Odell, on the other hand, counts on aid
from Higgins, whose nomination he made
possible. a year ago, and appears sanguine
of dealing his venerable rival a final blow
before the new year dawns.
The first real test of the respective pow
ers of the aspirants for leadership will be
at the New York County Convention, the
last week in "December, at which there
is to be "organization," as Odell main
tains; "reorganization," as Piatt insists,
and "reconstruction," as William M. Ivins
declares it, for the state campaign of.
1206. "With 'the "sympathy" of the Pres
ident, Piatt boasts that he will replace
Halpin with Olcott. Odell and his allies
scoff at this and prophesy that they will
win by nearly two to one.
Almost every Piatt district leader is a
"Federal officeholder, while nearly every
Odell man has a state job. Thus the final
attltudo of Higgins, who controls state
patronage, probably will settle the con
test. PKOOF HE RECOGNIZES PI1A.TT
"President Appoints His Man Marshal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. (Special.) Tho

ever served the court."
HiIEGAIi BALLOTS EXAMINED
Investigation of New York Election
Frauds Is Being Continued.
NEW YORK. Nov. 18. The counting of
so-called void and protested ballots in the
First Assembly District of Manhattan
was completed before Justice Geigerich in
the Supreme Court today and as a. result
both the McClellan and Hearst lawyers
-who were present claim slight gains. It
was Impossible to arrive at the exact re
sult because It Is not known how many
of the ballots had been counted by the
election inspectors November 7. One of
the lawyers representing Mayor McClel
lan said the Mayor had gained ten votes,
while a Hearst attorney claimed a jraln
of 12. Each claim is disputed.
It was said by members of the Tam
many Hall law committee tonight that
the canvass of the general roturns in one
fifth of the entire city showed a net gain
for Hearst of 150 votes, and that if this
rute was maintained the plurality of 2000
given McClellan would be reduced by
only a ftw hundred votes.
It Is understood that the Hearst man
agers will go into court Monday in an
effort to have the ballot-boxes opened.
Justice Geigerich sat for two hours to
day examining ballots which had been
returned as void or protested in the
First Assombly District. Many of tho bal
lots were subjected to an examination by
a magnifying glass and over each there
was a contest. The examination will
continue next week.

propriations in this part , of tho coun

ARMY: NEEDS OFFICERS,
Chaffee Says It Would Bo Crippled
in' Time of -War. '
WASHINGTON. .Nov. 18. ''The Army Is
unofflcered." says lieutenant-General
Adna R. Chaffee, Chief of Staff, In his
annual report to the Secretary of War.
He says this condition exists for the
Army in peace, and In "time of war" It
would be in a badlv crlDnled roritflrinn.
There are 517 officers absent on detailed
duty. These officers are detailed in the
general staff, recruiting service, at the
various academies and schools nna nn dif
ferent kinds of duty required by orders
and regulations. General Chaffee thinks
that provision should be made to fill
these vacancies caused by details which
are permanent In character.
General Chaffee discusses thn dcnfin-
in the Army, and makes the following
succestlons:
"Some suitable legislation affecting the
political right of deserters and an aroused
puDiic opinion mat desertion from the
military service of the Nation J
nant in the minds of all good citizens,
constitute the Dractlcal method nn thl
only effectual means In my opinion for
tn.e material aDatement or the crime re
f erred to."
He isavs the wisdom of h rroofinn
the general staff has been abundantly
demonstrated. In the first division. In ad
dition to a vast amount of other infor
mation, elaborate data have been col
lected as to the number of vessels pro
curable for use as transports at the vari
ous seaports of the Atlantic and Gulf
Coasts, and the number of troops they
will accommodate, the camp and storage
facilities at the ports, the railroads lead
ing thereto, and the sidings and rolling
stock available.
The second division has been engaged in
the collection, classification and prepara
tion of military information for ready
reference In case of- need and in the dis
semination of non-confidential profession
al data. In the form'of publications, mono
graphs, reports, memoranda, etc.
,.The third division. In, addition to its
duties as the permanent personnel of the
Army war college, reviewed during the
year the educational system of the Army,
and after careful study looking to its im
provement, endered reports which result
ed in remodeling the system in some re-'
spects. Studies of problems relating to
Coast defense were made, with special
loference to the .needs of the artillery
corps, In relation to. submarine defense,
the care and operation of electrical In
stallations at coast forts, and reports ren
dered covering these subjects.
The Lieutenant-General discusses the
report of the Board of Ordnance, whose
corps, he says, Is hampered by a shortage
of officers. The Chief of Ordnance has
also found It impossible to Issufertho now
model rifle, but it is expected that the
troops will be supplied in time for target
practice next year. Some changes have
been made, and. It has been necessary to
substitute the. knife bayonet for the rod
bayonet.
The Chief of Ordnance has adopted tho
practice of "targeting" every rifle -before
issue to the troops, the purpose being, to
make certain that the sights of each are
practically placed. It lias been ascer
tained by extended tests that the muzzle
velocity may be 100 feet per second less
than originally contemplated with the
gratifying result that twice the number
nf shots may be fired out before the bar
rel is sufficiently worn to noticeably, af
fect accuracy for target practice, and this
gain without loss of efficiency as a mili
tary rifle.
It has been dotermlnea, practically - so,
that an error was committed when the
eallber of the revolver was reduced from
45 to 38 for efficiency, the efficiency as
sured by the change being merely a re
duction in weight of the revolver, but
this, as now found, at a sacrifice -of actual
utility, stopping power and shock effect.
WILL REBUILD THE OREGON
KA3IOUS IIA.TTLESHIP TO BE E.Y-
TIRELY REMODELED.
Will Spend Two Yearn at Bremerton oh
Return From Orient New Popfet
Sound Dock.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. IS. The Navy Department
expects that the battlosnip Oregon wm
romain at the Puget Sound Navy-yard
the bettor part of two years undergo
ing a complete overhauling. Many
parts of the ship are to be practically
rebuilt The turrets are to be equipped
with electric controlling apparatus and
features which have become obsolete
are to be replaced by the latest pattern
known In naval construction. Work will
be begun early In January, as soon as
the Oregon arrives from the Philip
pines. Secretary Bonaparte Is now consid
ering the naval estimates. What he will
recommend for the Puget Sound Navy
yard is unknown, but there Is a belief
that he may indorse the recommenda
tion of the Bureau of Yards and Docks
that $1,230,000 be appropriated to build
a new drydock. It eccms improbable
that Congress, In its economical mood,
will authorize a new dock this session,
but Congressional action will depend
largely upon the amount of pressure
the Washington delegation can bring
to bear.
GEXERAIi OIIAFFEE TO RETIRE
Old "Veteran Ilns Almost Readied
Age Limit of Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. It Is under
stood definitely that General Chaffee, who
will reach the age limit of active service
on April 14 next, will retire some time
prior to that date, probably in January.
He has so notified the President and the
Secretary of War. He expects to leave
Washington and go with his family to
California.
As Chief of Staff he will be succeeded
by Major-General Bates, now Assistant
Chief of Staff. After General Bates lias
served a few months as the head of the
Army he is expected to be succeeded by
Major-General Corbln, who now com
mands the Division of the Philippines. Un
der the law General Corbln will retire
from active service next September. In
the natural course of succession Genoral
MacArthur will follow Genoral Corbln as
Chief of Staff, and he would be followed
in turn by General Leonard Wood.
Will Keep Money In Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. Secretary
Shaw had a' brief conference with the
President today, but at its conolusion
did not Jndlcato its nature. When
asked whother it was ills intention to
put Into operation any plan for the
srelief of the money market, he replied
that he could npt say what he might do
later, but he had no present intention
of making additional deposits with Na
tlonal banks. It Is qulto certain. Sec
retary Shaw believes, that bad he made
deposits with the banks heretofore, it
would have resulted in considerable
gold going abroad. He thinks it would
be better, therefore, for the money to
remain in the Treasury.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. IS. Tho Cramp Shipbuild
ing Company is conferring with Sen
ator Dubois relative to the launching of
the battleship Idaho on December 9, its

CHOICE IF TYRANT!
Poles Fear Kaiser's Aid to
Suppress. Revolt.
WITTE CALLED HIS TOOL
Concessions Only Designed to Pre
vent Demand for Autonomy.
Moderates Draw Back Be
fore Threats of Reds.
LONDON Nov. 18. (Special.) It is Po
land, and not St Petersburg or Penza,
that 4?ivcs the Russian Prime Minister,
Count Witte the rrcatest anxiety. Strikes
and pretenders are bad enough, but they
are less formidable than tne aangera mai
led hint to proclaim the ancient kingdom
in a state of siege.- Nothing else that has
occurred since the imperial manifesto ap
peared, October 30, has made so damaging
an impression upon the Paris iiourse.
As far back as September 15 it was
known, that Nicholas had resolved to re
turn to a more liberal attitude toward
the- Poles The edict on religious toiora
tlon was an earnest of this change of pol
icy. Then came tho regulation concerning
the use of the Polish language in schools.
This was followed by a promise through
Witte of a considerable representation in
the Douma. Paris and London applauded
these professions as calculated to put new
vigor Into the. life of the country and to
consolidate its patriotic sentiments. row
It Is obvious that all these measures were
part of WIttc's scheme to forestall Po
land's formal demand for autonomy.
Witte has never been a 'friend of Polish
nationalism, and his enemlos among the
Russian Liberals arc denouncing him as
more the tool of Emperor William than
the Minister 6f the Czar in withholding
tho benefits of the ukases.
Kaiser Worse Than Czar.
Undoubtedly the Kaiser Is behind the
proclamation, but he may be hoist with
his own potard. Witte has no humor for
German Intervention in Russian Poland,
on the Machiavellian pro text that noth
ing else will keep German Poland prop
erly subsorvient to the Hohenzollerns.
Russian Poles prefer a Russian to a Ger
man tyrant and the remarkable modifica
tion of pretensions by the Warsaw dele
gation In St. Petersburg lnce the pur
poses of the Kaiser became known Indi
cates that conservative Polish sentiment
realizes the folly of being ground to pieces
between the upper and nether millstones
of Berlin and St Petersburg.
Herein lies the best guaranty of a com
promise adjustment In the capital of
Nicholas, and even in Odessa and Moscow,
It looks as If the revolutionary factions
had overtrained. The moderates, who in
clude more of the "intellectuals." support
the principle of the strike to show the
solidarity of Russian popular feeling
against the industrial policy of the bureau
cracy, but they have no desire for an
archy and Its horrors. For one brilliant
fanatic like Maxim Gorky, who Is raising
some of tho bloodthirsty and anarchistic
cries of the French Revolution, there are
hundreds of saner spirits among the In
telligent classes who counsel the working
men lo go slowly.
WIfte's View of Strike.
"This is a noiitirjti Ktriir airt thn im
perturbable Wltte to tho Polish; delegates.
-ana j. cannot recaon witn it as I do with
n. Strike for Inrltiefrlnl hattrmnn( T I.
led by men who wish to get their hands
upon inc tnroat or tne government They
are essentially anarchists and nihilists.
They pretend to bo trying to help Poland
and to prevent mutiny from receiving the
punishment it deserves, but they lie, and
they know they He."
Men like Hessen. editor of the Pravo, a
consistently rational advocate of the con
stitutional programme, recognize the Jus
tice of Witte's statement They are
alarmed lest the violence of the extremists
drive away from the constitutional move
ment thousands of the well-to-do middle
classes. The detestation felt by all Lib
erals for the religious despotism main
tained by Poblcdonostseff is as hearty as
that of any Socialists; but the Liberals
aro not willing to sweep away all .the re
ligious institutions In the fashion urged by
Gorky and the militant wing.
CZAR PRAYS WITH CLERGY
Unites With Them In Desire for
Peace Under Reform.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. IS. The Em
peror yesterday received at Tsars koo-Solo
a deputation of clergy from the Holy
Synod and Joined with them in prayers
for the restoration of peace and tranquil
lity in Russia, the anpeasomont of class
hatreds and the establishment of mutual
relations of love and confidence botweon
all the citizens of the empire.
The ceremony was Impressive. The
archbishop, bishops and priests In tho
gorgeous cloth of gold vestmonts of tho
Russian church, headed by the Metropoli
tan, went in procession to the reception
hall of the Alexander Palace, chanting
prayers for the welfare of tho empire and
the safety of the imperial house. The
Metropolitan, Antonlus, in his address
thanked His Majesty in behalf of the
clergy for the imperial reform manifesto,
the great historical Importance of which
they recognized, and they prayed to the
Lord to give the country peace and to
holp all the faithful subjects of His Maj
esty calmly and wisely to accept the
benefits granted them and to turn tholr
hearts from the spirit of violence and riot
which was destructive of all liberty.
The Metropolitan then formally blessed
the Emperor with a sacred Icon, which
His Majesty devoutly kissed and ex
pressed his gratitude for the blessing. Ho
said:
"Together with you and the whole Rus
sian nation, I constantly pray tho Lord
to pacify the Russian pcoplo and send
them piety and firm faith.
"I strongly desire all the clergy, espe
cially the village priests, to exercise sin
cerity. Christian zeal toward the restora
tion of peace among their congregations,
and to faithfully perform their duties."
REACTION" AGAINST THE REDS
Conservative Elements Rally to
Witte and Strike Is Breaking.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. IS. The sud
den awakening of the Conservative and
Liberal elements " o the Imperative ne
cessity for resisting: to the utmost the
attempt of the Radicals and Socialists,
who aro conducting tho present strike
to obtain the upper hand, has galvan
ized the leaders Into action, and has
started a healthy movement in favor of
entirely cutting loose from the Rad
ical wing.
Dmitri Shipoft and Guskoff and other
leaders of various groups. Including
constitutional demands, have gone to
Moscow to urge the Zemstvoists assem
bling here to unite the forces which de
sire to prevent anarchy in condemning
the political strike and to Join in sup
porting the-government In its efforts to
restore tranquillity and Introduce the
new regime. The government is able to
take tt firmer stand because of this re
action in public opinion.
Count Witte believed that such a re
action must come, but he wisely waited
until public sentiment showed a dispo
sition to support the government before
Initiating energetlo xneaaarea. By kis
direction, the Prefect of Police, General
Dedulin, issued the proclamation yes
terday Instructing the tradesmen not to
yield to the threats of the agitators and
walking delegates, who ordered them to
close their shops, and promising the
trades police and military" protection.
Order to Government Employes.
A government note was simultane
ously issued prohibiting government
employes from participating In organ
izations actively opposing' the govern
ment It points out that the restriction
of political activity on the part of the
government employes Is not subversive
of their liberties, but is Imperative to
the maintenance of discipline; calls at
tention to the fact that In free coun
tries like the United States pernicious
political aatlvity on the part of officials
Is inhibited, and recalls the fact that
less than a fortnight ago the French
Chamber of Deputies supported Pre
mier Rouvier's decision not to permit
the political organizations of state
servants.
The noto Is directed particularly
against the attempt to organize in
Moscow the Society of Post and Tele
graph Employes, the avowed object of
which is to compel the 'convocation of
a constituent assembly, and whose
members pledge themselves to donate
60 per cent of their salaries to the
strike fund. The stopping of the posts
and telegraphs, it is pointed out, would
endanger the life of the state, and
every employe joining the organization
referred to will instantly be dismissed.
The employes of the government rail
roads also are threatened with dismis
sal If they Join the strike.
Dissension Kills Strike.
Tho break in the ranks of the strik
ers in Poland, and the refusal of many
organizations In the interior and prac
tically those of the railroad men at
Moscow, to strike on account of Po
land! and then the fierce dissensions
which have broken out among the
workmen's leaders at St Petersburg,
seem to doom the strike movement to
failure, and, temporarily at least must
inflict a defeat on the Social Demo
crats. The government has taken the occa
sion to deny ortlcially that the meas
ures taken in Poland were in anyiwny
Incited "by Germany, or that any ar
rangement "exists with Germany upon
the subject
The proclamation of the Profect of Po
lice had the desired effect in preventing
the adtatOrs f mm frvfnc tn ariunt. f
threats whloh they made last night to
compel the closing of the shops and also,
led to the abandonment of the demon
strations planned to lake place in front
of the prisons.
LONG AS FRENCH REVOLUTIOX
Opinion of French Authority on Up
heaval in Russia.
PARIS, Nov. IS. Anatole Lerov-Riwn-
Hou, a member of the French Acadomy,
and an eminent authority on Russia, has
addressed a notable letter to the Journal
des Debats upon the Russian revolution.
He said. In part: "
"The evonts transpiring in the Russian
Empire are nothing less than a great
revolution, which promises to be as long
and tragic as the French Revolution, al
though It U yet to be hoped that the Rus
sian revolution may not bring about the
fall of the thrbne and dynasty. The revo
lution will be social and political, whether
It assumes a torrential character, sweep
ing over all boundaries, or whether It Is
guided in regular Channels through the
foresight of Count Wltte.
"As In the case or the French Revolu
tion, there will be In Russia a transfer
of power and property to new hands. In
the eyes of most Russians, It is the bu
reaucratic autocracy which must end. It
was never the army nor the fleet which
was defeated by the Japanese, but the foe
vanquished was the autocracy. The re
cent savage violence and slaughter of
Jews, with porhaps more victims than
throughout the reign of terror of tho
French Revolution, Is attributable to the
autocratic regime."

MORE BENEATH SURFACE
CALIFORNIA SCENTS MORE INSUR
ANCE SCANDAL.
Records Show Clunle Sought Informa
tion of Rig Companies Not
Required by Law.
SAX FRANCISCO. Nov. 13. (Spe
cial.) Local Insurance circles are very
perceptibly agitated by the reports
coming from the New York Legisla
tive investigation into the insurance
scandal, which reports show that some
of the most prominent California law
yers and officials were connected with
transactions Involving hoavy expendi
tures by some of the giant companies
transactions which have'at least a pe
culiar appearance. It Is expected that
further startling revelations will be
made.
Insurance Commissioner E. Myron
Wolf says his attention has never been
called to the matter officially, but the
records of his office bear out some of
the statements made by Register ilc
Curdy yestorday, particularly the
statement that Andrew J. Clunle com
pelled the insurance companies to make
answer to a large number of questions
not embraced In the regular schedule
of Interrogatories, prepared and ac
cepted by the State Commissioners all
over tjie country.
The record-book of the Insurance
Commissioner's office shows that on
July S, which is Just about tho time

somewhat drastic investigation of the
Equitable, the Mutual Life and the
New York Life, tho tlfen Commissioner

asking Interpretation of the right of
certain companies to do business in this
state. Clunle called the attention of
the Attorney-General to the statute
providing that life insurance com
panies doing business In this state

HELD TO LETTER OP LAW
Chlckcrlng Explains tho Attltudo of
Clunle on Insurance.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IS. Attorney
TV. H. Qhlckering said last night, in ref
erence to the testimony given yesterday
by Samuel S. McCurdy at the Insurance
investigation In New York:
"It is true that I represent the Mutual
Life hero as a legal adviser, but that I
was paid $17,50 la ridiculous and false. I
happened to be in New York at the time
referred to in the New York dispatch.
My son was dangerously 111 In a hospital
at Yonkera That was the reason for my
being Bast at that time. It Is true that I
met Governor Budd In New York at that
time. "We discussed Insurance matters
with the Mutual Life people. Our con
ference had reference to the attitude of
the then California Insurance Commis
sioner, A. J. Clunle, toward the life In
surance companies.
"You see, Clunle was Insisting upon
both life and fire Insurance companies
living up to the letter of the law. He
was a little bit ugly in that he made
much of trivial and technical matters.
"We had one dispute with him.
"When the late A. B. Forbes was gen
eral manager for tho Mutual Life here.
Clunle found that some of the men on
his bond were dead. He insisted that, if
Forbes bond was not renewed withaddi
tional bondsmen. Mutual Life policy-'
holders In California might suffer. There
was nothing In this contention of Clunle.
However, his request was reasonable as
to perfecting Forbes bond, and it was
complied with.
"On the whole. I should say Clunle was
tho first State Insurance Commissioner'
who tried to make his office mean some
thing, and his antagonistic attitude to
ward the companies made them mora

Short CutsinClothes
Making
Hot Fiat-Iron Used Instead of theNeedls.
Did you ever notice what a fetlinp: of
Satisfaction there is when you wear a New
Coat the first day or iwot
It makes a fellow feel that he is Imma
culate, and that everybody knows it
You have wondered why it is that it
wouldn't remain in that condition, instead
of getting kumpy, wrinkled and txctsted
after the first damp day.
Blamed it to the Weather, of course.
Naturally. Everybody docs. Whv? Be
cause about SO per cent of all clothing is
affected by dampness.
People get used to things. They get in
a rut. "What can't be Cured must be
Endured", they say.
Ah! but it can be cured. It should cot
be necessary to send your suit or overcoat
to Dry Dock (for pressing) every time it's
out in the rain.
It's Human Nature to take Short Cuts
t save Trouble and Expense.
If a tailor sews a seam a sixteenth of
an inch out of its true line.it makes a
Glaring Defect in the garment.
Lots of little Defects creep into Clothes
in the process of Making.
The Short-cut Remedy for such faults
is the Hot Flat-Iron.
In the hands of an Expert, the heat and
moisture so applied. Shrinks or Stretches
cloth to cover these defects temporarily.
Then the goods are sold, on their
Looks.
The coat is worn until a damp day
brings out the defects that the Hot-iron
had masked and the purchaser finds him
self "sold": although he doesn't know it,
always.
He is used to this harmless Trickery
or resigned.
There is just one way to remove thesa
defects PERMANENTLY.
That is, by "Sincere" Revision, by
careful Hand-Needlc-Work.
That's the kind of workmanship that
you get in Sincerity Clothes. And
they'remade in a big. Wholesome, sanitary
factory, by Men-Tailors.
There are plenty of Nice-Looking
clothes on sale everywhere. ,
Pretty Pictures help to show you how
they look when first worn.
But it's worth wnile having clothes that
also hold shape, by reason of having the
ritrht kind of Needle-Work and MATER
IALS. It means quite an expense to press
clothes constantly.
But it isn't always easy for a Novice to
tell a "Sincerity-Made garment, espe
cially when the salesman wants to sell the
other kind.
So here's an easy Test:
Lay the coat on a tabic, as in the pic
ture. If it is made Sincerely, the line of
the collar where it turns over will be
straight and true. So will the edge of the
collar.
If it is "doctored" by tho Hot Flat-iron,
the oulefedge and the collar itself will be
wavy and wrinkled.
Thai's easy to remember.
Now. if you value style, quality and
Sincere Tailoring, it will repay you many
times for the Trouble, to insist on having
SINCERITY CLOTHES.
If your regular dealer hasn't them, and
will not oblige you. write us for the name
of a "Sincerity" dealer, who does, and
will.
The Sincerity label reads:
