THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. MAY 13. 1906.
ORATION ftT ALBANY
Republicans Turn Out in Force
to Greet Candidates.
CHEERS FOR WITHYCOMBE
Nominee for Governor Shows Vp the
Fallacies of Democratic Argu
ments and Misleading Cam- '.
paign Statements.
ALBANY. Or.. May 12. (Special.) A
large, enthusiastic and representative
audience greeted the Republican candi
dates for state and county offices in the
Opera-House in Albany tonight. Members
of all political parties attended and grave
close attention- to frank and Intelligent
discussion of the Issues of the campaign.
The principal speaker of the evening was
Dr. James Withycombe. candidate for
Governor, who was- ably seconded - In
nhort addresses by Attorney-General A.
M. Crawford. Willis 8. Duniway. candi
date for State Printer, and F. W. Mul
key, candidate for United States Senator;
This, the opening rally of the Repub
lican campaign In Linn County, was emi
nently successful. The appearance of the
candidates on the rostrum was the occa
sion for an ovation that evinced the in
terest and enthusiasm of Linn Repub
licans. The ovation was turned into a
personal greeting -to Dr. Withycombe,
when the Gubernatorial candidate was
introduced the audience rising and giving
three hearty cheers.
. Dr. Withycombe gave a plain, convinc
ing statement of his position on all Issues
In the campaign. Jn a dignified manner,
without resorting to personalities, the
Republican standard-bearer pointed out
the fallacies of the Democratic argu
ments, the misleading statements the
Iemocrats are using for campaign pur
poses, and closed with an appeal for Re
public support for the entire ticket, be
cause it is representative of the princi
ples of the Republican party.
Attention was directed to the Demo
cratic claims that Governor Chamberlain
deserves credit for the enactment of the
corporations tax law and inheritance tax
law, both of which were drafted by Re
publicans, recommended by Republican
officials and introduced in the Legislature
before Mr. Chamberlain delivered his first
message, and finally were passed by a
Republican Legislature.
Attention was also directed to a bill
which the Governor vetoed. This bill
provided for the State Experiment Sta
tion to test all artificial fertilizers which
are used for enriching farm lands for
certain crops. Many thousands of dollars
are spent for this commodity annually by
farmers of Oregon, and the amount is in
creasing rapidly. Although the bill pro
vided for protection against selling an
inferior quality of fertilizers to farmers
it was vetoed. Since that time tests have
shown that much of the fertilizer passed
off on farmers is little better than com
mon sand.
A statement enthusiastically received
was that the present executive's action
on the much-talked-of Sl.000,000 appropria
tion bill showed a lack of backbone to
- perform his duty.r and cost the people
thousands of dollars interest. It was
pointed . out that ' while the Governor
claims credit for holding- the bill. the.
people did it." ' The Governor failed to
veto the bill when it came to him, and
the people had to Invoke the referendum.
Messrs. Crawford, Duniway and Mulkey
i spoke In the order In which they are
mentioned, all being well received.- Mr.
. Duniway especially made an eloquent
plea for the entire -ticket, pointing out
the fallacy of electing Democrats to carry
out Republican policies. " '
Chairman G. A. Westgate, of the state
central committee, presided at the meet
ing, and the "Withycombe Male Quartet"
furnished excellent vocal music. The
Agricultural College Band was here for
the occasion. All the county and state
candidates occupied seats on the rostrum,
and at the close of the meeting were
warmly greeted by large numbers in an
informal reception.

MITCHELL IS DENIED BAIL
Judge Frater Declares His Position
on Case of the Avenger.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 12. (Special.)
Superior Court Judge Frater today de
nied application for ball for George
Mitchell, slayer of Edmund. Creffteld, the
"Holy Roller" leader, and set date for
his pleading to the .information charging
him with murder on May 19.
Tomorrow the adherents of Crefrleld
expect him to rise from the dead. Four
days after his burial, the "Holy Roller"
leader insisted, he would come back to
them and the remnant of his following
here Is expecting- his return. Mrs. Cref
fteld, in the custody of the Folic Matron
as a witness against Mitchell, firmly be
lieves In his resurrection
In denying the application of Mitchell
for bail. Judge Frater said: "I have said
before from this bench that a man who
Invades the home of another for the pur
pose of seduction must expect- to receive
death or Injury at the hands of the in
jured, but the fact, that this may be de
served does not, however. Justify any
other to commit murder, and this court
does not want it understood that any
such killing is 'condoned. ,
"I take It from the statements which
have been made that this is a case where,
even though it is murder under the law,
the defendant ' may be acquitted. As a
Judge, however, I cannot allow myself to
be governed by my- opinions as a man
and must deal with the question at Issue
as a proposition of law. The law seems
clear' and Is not questioned even by the
attorneys for the defendant and there Is
nothing to do but refuse the motion for
bail." , .

shingle shipments. The result of experi
mental loadings will be laid before high

CENTRALIA FOUNDRY BURNS
City Hall and Laundry Saved by
Fire Department.
CENTRALIA. Wash.. May 12. (Spe
cial.) Fire broke out suddenly in the
large foundry owned by the J. P. Symons
Company, at 1 o'clock, this afternoon,
and in a little more than half an hour
the entire building was destroyed. So
sudden was the starting of the fire that
it was probably caused by an explosion
of a mixture of Inflammable dust and oil.
The City Hall Is on the . south end of
the foundry, and the large frame struc
ture recently erected by the Model Steam
Laundry is on the north end. These
buildings were saved by a great effort
by the Are department. The occupants
of the stores and offices on the west side
of Tower avenue stripped the buildings
of all movables. The only damage done
was a scorching of the paint and the
breaking of windows.' At least 115.000
damage was done to the building and ma
chinery. Patterns were destroyed, worth about
J40.000.
Only one workman saved his tools, the
rest being all destroyed. Between 20 and
30 men' will be thrown out of employ
ment. It is reported that the company
carried no insurance. Without doubt, the
foundry will be rebuilt without any loss
of time.

Steamer Costa Rica Passes
Many Off the Coast.
EVIDENTLY FROM L0GRAFT
Immense Structure Broke Away
From the Steamer Frances H.
Leggett a Week Ago Off .
Crescent City.
The steamer Costa Rica, Captain Curtis,
which arrived here last night from San
Francisco, reports having passed a large
number of scattering logs off the Califor
nia coast, between Capes Blanco and Men
docino, and this is taken as indicative of
the log ra'ft lost by the steamer Frances
H. Leggett, off Crescent City, a week
ago, having broken up in the heavy sea.
If such is the case, masters of vessels
will have to keep a sharp lookout for
these drifting logs for months, for col
lision with one of them may mean serious
damage. If not disaster.
The log raft was one of the .largest
ever sent away-from the Columbia- River,
containing in the neighborhood of 10,000,000
feet of piling.- It was constructed at

Francisco, when It broke away from the
towboat. The Leggett started out in a
heavy northwester, which appeared in her
favor, but the wind Increased until finally
the seas became so terrific in their sweep
that the captain of the Leggett found it
necessary to let go the -hawsers in order
to save his steamer. He stood by as long
as he could, but when unable to pick up
his tow again, returned to Astoria for in

Large Fleet ' Is Held Up at Port
Townsend, With No Relief In Sight.'
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash.; May 12.--(Special.)
Shipping interests are suffer
ing no slight inconvenience as the result
of an unprecedented shortage of sailors
to man the various craft. The result is
a large fleet tied up awaiting crews, with
no immediate prospects . of relief. Few
vessels bound here are due. and those
arriving afford no relief. ' Usually no diffi
culty, is experienced in securing men for
a Honolulu voyage, but now. even though
the Summer season is at hand, several
vessels with lumber for Honolulu are
being held up. It was believed for a
time that the San Francisco earthquake
would furnish some relief for the strin
gent sailor market by diverting shipping
in this direction, but such apparently is
not the case, for the fleet of loaded ves

HILL HAND IS EXPOSED
ENDEAVORING TO SHIT HARM
MAN OIT OF SEATTLE,'
It Is Aliened tfce Great JVorthena Mag
nate ' Has Overreached Himself lm
Trying to Block All Entrances.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 12. (Special.)
Hill representatives, making a des
perate Ught against the Harrlman
lines, seeking an entrance to Seattle,
have run into a trap. Before the Coun
cil committee on corporations the Har
rlman line has withdrawn Its appli
cation for a franchise on Fourth ave
nue, presented largely, as a bluff, and
offering only an alternative entrarrce
for passenger trains with almost Im
possible grades and tangents. The Hill
lines have franchises on every street
between the water front and the bluff
that skirts the shore line save Oriental,
Fourth and Sixth avenues. The Great
Northern is applying for a franchise
on- Sixth avenue to reach a ware
house the company owns. At the same
time the road "is bitterly opposing a
Harrlman entrance on Fourth avenue.
: Harrlman representatives have quiet
ly refrained from any comment upon
the Hill attitude of opposition until the
full expose of their position is made.
Today it was effectually shown that the
Hill lines were trying to deny every
thing to the Harrlman line save a
paltry entrance over Oriental avenue,
where Harrlman would- be compelled
to buy from. Hill land to reach nis sta
tion depot.
The Hill representatives declare Har
rlman could get this property through
the courts. -then add that it has been
included In depot - terminals. As such
property it cannot be taken by a rival
road. The result ef it all is to make
clear to the public that Hill is trying
to place the Council in the position ef
shunting Harrlman oft on to a blind
siding. 'Were he compelled to accept
the Hill offering he would, be placed
at tne mercy of the Hill lines.
An expose of the Hill programme has
been forced before Harrlman negotia
tions have reached an acute stage. It
comes while the manufacture of pub
lic sentiment against the sacrifice of
Fourth avenue is in an experimental
stage and too early to accomplish re
sults. Harrlman officials tonight Insist
that they have exposed the Hill hand
and that sooner or later they will get
their public grant. They- claim that
Hill has overreached himself.
: It is significant of negotiations for
a franchise that neither the Pacific
Coast Company nor. the Chicago, Mil
waukee Sc. SU Paul are interfering. In
the former Harrlman has big holdings
and naturally local officials fear to
cut in. The latter line has more fav
ors to ask and does not want to be in
volved. LOW BATES EAST.

Merchants Will Invite Business
With Hawaii.
TRANSPORTATION NEEDED
Kndeavor Will Probably Be Made
. Soon to Have American r Ha
waiian Steamers Come to
This Port.
The matter of securing regular means
of transportation between this port and
Honolulu Is. being discussed among mer
chants and shippers, and steps will prob
ably be taken soon to give all possible
encouragement to the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Company to change its
programme so as to give Portland com
munication with the Hawaiian Islands
before December 1, when the company
intends placing the steamers Nevadan
and Nebraskan on the run between San
Francisco. Portland and Puget Sound to
connect at San Francisco with the larger
steamers of the line for Honolulu and Sa
linas Crux, the western terminal of the
Tehuantepec Railroad, which is now be
ing built across the isthmus:
. President R. R. Hoge, of the Chamber
of Commerce, is in hopes that traffic
communication may be established be
tween this port and the islands, ' but he
says the matter has not been taken up
yet by the chamber, for the reason that
the members have been very busy assist
ing in the relief of the stricken people of
San Francisco.
"The Chamber of Commerce," said Mr.
HoR-e. "has taken; no action in the direc
tion of establishing trade relations with
the Hawaiian Islands or any other "terri
tory which has been tributary to 8an
Francisco. Our thought and our energies
have been directed to the relief of the
present distress of. our stricken neighbor
rather than in promoting our own in
terests in the spirit of commercialism.
To this we are distinctly opposed. As
against other centers, it is. of course,
proper that our merchants should assert
themselves, but the attitude of Portland
toward Ban Francisco Is that of the out
stretched, and not the uplifted hand."
The American-Hawaiian Company made
its present programme in reference to
extending' its service to Portland prior
