OPEN LETTER IS WRITTEN
Executive Committee Addresses AH
Who Had Funds In Title Bank
In Support of District
Attorney.
In a letter Issued yesterday the execu
tive committee of the Depositors' Associa
tion of the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany Indorsed the candidacy of District
Attorney John Manning for re-election
and recommended him to the support of
every depositor In the bank. The, letter
will be mailed to every depositor of the
defunct institution. In lt the members
of the committee affirm "their belief that
the re-election of Mr. Manning at the
coming: June election Is demanded by the
Interests of the depositors and the people
of Multnomah County. The letter Is
signed by 3. J. Barber, president of the
Depositors' Association; W. P. Swope,
secretary of the Depositors' Association;
J. O'B. Scobey, chairman of the executive
committee; N. Solomon and C. E. Moul
ton, members of the executive committee.
The letter of Indorsement follows:
Portland, Or.. May 8. To the Depositors:
At the last public meeting- of the deposi
tors of the ituspended Title Guarantee As
Trust Company, your executive committee
reported the agreement with W. M. Ladd,
whereby the deposit of each depositor of
the bank is secured. Although .the agree
ment was printed in full In The 'Oregonian
of January 10, 1008, many Inquiries come
to members of the executive committee aj
mot dally as to the terms of that agree
ment. We Inclose a printed cbpy herewith
for your information.
Among other actions taken by the de
positors' meeting at that time was the
unanimous adoption of the following reso
lution: "Whereas, It appears to the members of
this association that it was largely through
the efforts of Honorable John Manning,
District Attorney for Multnomah County,
that the depositors of the defunct Title
Guarantee & Trust Company Bank have
been secured so that they will receive their
deposits In full, with interest thereon, and
that without his earnest and efficient co
operation such result could not have been
accomplished; and,
"VvhereaB, This Is the first Instance in
the history of suspended banks In the City
of Portland that a result of this character
has been accomplished, and depositors fully
secured: therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the thanks of this asso
ciation of depositors of the late Title
Guarantee & Trust Company Bank are due
and are hereby tendered to Mr. Manning In
grateful recognition of his services in this
matter."
The depositors are now secure, so far as
their money is concerned by reason of the
efforts of Mr. Manning as set out in the
foregoing resolution, but the affairs of this
bank and those lately connected with it
are not yet disposed of. We believe that the
interests of the depositors and of Mult
nomah County demand the re-election of
Mr. Manning at the coming June election.
In grateful recognition of the efforts of Mr.
Manning in the Interests of the depositors
and of the public generally, your committee
heartily indorses his candidacy for re
election and respectfully recommend him
to the support of every depositor of the
late bank.
MITCIlEL.Ii STATES POSITION
He's Xot for Taft, but for Hughes
or tia, Follette.
PORTLAND, Or., May 9, 1908. (To
the Editor.) I noticed In this morn
ing's Oregonian that you placed me
among- the Bourne men at the state
convention May 14. I wish to state
that 1 am not In the Bourne camp nor
the Taft camp. I am decidedly in the
Hughes or La. Follette camp, believing
that either of them would be a strong
er nomination than Secretary Taft's.
That Is why I favor an unlnstructed
delegation; not because Senator Bourne
wishes this kind of a delegation to
trade or stampede to Roosevelt. I am
decidedly opposed to the third-term
proposition as a bad precedent to
establish. Besides President Roosevelt
says he doesn't want It, and that ought
to settle It. There Is nothing absolutely
positive that Taft will be nominated,
and it would certainly do Oregon no
harm to at least have one Hughes and
ono La Follette representative on the
delegation.
Senator La Follette is particularly
friendly to Oregon, and has a number
of friends In this state and Is particu
larly anxious to have his nomination
seconded by an Oregon man, and I feel
that we should at least pay him that
compliment. I have no personal Inter
est In the outcome, only 'to see the
strongest and best man win at Chicago.
Personally, I believe Hughes the
strongest man to nominate. Those Re
publicans of Oregon who are so en
thusiastic for Secretary Taft and an In
structed delegation might be placed In
an embarrassing position If they should
fail to deliver the electoral vote of
Oregon in November. Under existing
conditions there is nothing certain
about Oregon politics. I therefore
think it a wise policy to select to go
to the National Convention our very
best timber, whether It be Senator
Fulton, Senator Bourno or any other
good, clean representative Republican,
to use their best Judgment on condi
tions as they find them while on the
ground. McKINLKT MITCHELL.
South Portland Republican Rally.
Sheriff Stevens will open his cam
paign for re-election at a Republican
rally to be held under the auspices of
the South Portland Republican Club,
at Jones Hall, Front and Glbbs streets,
next Wednesday night. George J.
Cameron, candidate for District Attor
ney, and R. G. Morrow, for Circuit
Judge will be the other principal
speakers of the evening. Aside from
the short addresses by candidates,
there will be a debate on the proposed
"Recall" amendment, between V. S.
U'Ren, of Oregon City, father of the
amendment, and W. R. McGarry, of
this city, who will contend that the
measure should not be supported by
the voters of the State. Vocal solos
will be rendered by Miss Lena Harwas
and Frank D. Hennessy, and some gen
uine comedy stunts are promised In the
appearance of Johnson and Bailey,
amateur minstrels. W. P. Lillls, presi
dent of the South Portland Club, will
preside as chairman of the meeting.

SPECIALS
Tyrolese singers and dancers from the
Zillerthal. First brought to America to
make melody in the Alpine vilage at the
St. Louis Exposition, this band of singers
has worked its way Into fame. It has a
larger repertoire of national songs and
airs, tuneful melodies and popular selec
tions, than any musical company travel
ing today. Added to this Is the natural
melody of the Tyrolean Alps, from which
the singers come, the quaint and tuneful
yodel songs they feature and their grace
ful dancing in .the costumes and dances of
all nations. As much desired as any, how
ever. Is their rendition of old ballads of
Engand and other countries in the cos
tumes of the time and place.
But the Tyrolean singers do not furnish
the only feature of the opening bill. The
amusement way will hold many new feat
ures during the coming season. One of
these Is destined to prove itself immensely
popular. Shrouded in mystery so far, no
one knows what the "Tickler" holds for
the amusement-hunting public. The mys
tery will be solved on Saturday, however.
In addition to this will be the daredevil
automobile ride of Harry Breton, the fa
mous Figure Eight, the games of electric
baseball and many other new novelties.
Rain or shine, the people will be taken
care of, as the "atrdome" has been com
pleted and Is capable of holding 3000 peo
ple, should it become necessary. The
streetcar service will be excellent, and al
together it is expected that the opening
of the resort will prove more enjoyable
than any previously held.

Protests Result In Favorable Letter
to Senator Fulton From the
Quartermaster-General.
From a letter addressed to Senator
Fulton by Quartermaster-General Ale
shlre, received yesterday by the Cham
ber of Commerce, it was learned that
It is the desire and the policy of the
Quartermaster's Department to local
ize the source of supply, so far as the
lopal markets will permit, and that
there is no objection on the part of
that office to a modification of the cir
cular permitting the purchase of sup
plies in Portland for the Department
of the Columbia where the local prices
warrant the awarding of such busi
ness to Portland merchants. This
modification of the recent clrcu'ar au

result of the protests made by the local !
commercial bodies through the Oregon
delegation at Washington, With regard
to the new order. ,
General Aleshire's letter Is as fol
lows:
Washington, May 9. War Depart
ment, Office of Quartermastr-General,
Honorable C. W. Fulton, United States
Senate, Washington, D. C.
My Dear Senator Fulton: Referring
to your call at this office a few days
ago, and to your telephonic request of
this date for information as to the
purchase of supplies at Portland, Ore
gon, I beg to advise you that I have
deferred replying to your inquiry
pending the receipt of Information
from the chief quartermaster. Depart
ment of the Columbia, that woul1 en
able me to adjust the matter satisfac
torily to all concerned. I find from
the records of this office that during
the fiscal years 1907 to 1908, practi
cally from 80 to 90 per cent of all the
supplies used in the Department of the
Columbia were furnished from Jeffer
sonville and other Eastern depots, and
that the remaining supplies were pur
chased In Portland and other North
western markets, under the direction
of the chief quartermaster.
It Is the desire and the policy of this
department to localize the source of
supply so far as the local markets will
permit, and with this end in view this
office notified the chief quartermaster,
Department of the Columbia, that
there is no objection on the part of
this office to modification of circular
No. 1, 1908, providing for supply by
chief quartermaster, Department of
the Columbia, of such articles under
such Items as Portland prices indicate
can be secured. In that market more
favorably than from sources now pro
vided, and with the understanding that
no additional expense will be incurred
for .storage facilities and employes
over present authorization. With this
understanding the chief quartermaster
has been requested to submit an Item
ized report of articles by ltemd which
he recommends be authorized pur
chased by the chief quartermaster.
As soon as the Information suffi
ciently definite to act upon is received
steps will be taken to arrange for the
purchase of such additional supplies
In Portland and the other Northwest
ern markets as In the opinion of the
chief quartermaster can be done to the
advantage of the Government, as well
as to restore the comparatively small
amount of business which may have
been taken from the city by the cir
cular referred to.
Very truly yours,
J. B. ALESHIRE,
, Quarmaster-General, U. S. Army.

DEATH OF W. L GASTON
Brother of Joseph Gaston and Early
Oregon Railway Contractor.
W. L. Gaston, a brother of Joseph
Gaston of this city, and a prominent
railway contractor; died at the latter's
home Friday night after a lingering
illness. The deceased was formerly an
officer In the United States Army and
was one of the men detailed by Presi
dent Buchanan to go to Utah to sup
press the Mormons who were raiding
emigrant trains In 1857. Later he was
stationed at Fort Walla Walla, where
he saw service in the Indian uprisings
of Eastern Washington and Oregon.
On leaving the army Mr. Gaston re
turned to his home in the East, but
shortly went to California where he
engaged In civil engineering and se-
j cured the contract for the first railway
from Marysvllle, Cal., to Portland, and
for a time had personal supervision of
the traffic between Jacksonville, Or.,
and this city. Since his connection
with the Southern Pacific, then the
Oregon & California Railway, ceased,
he was connected with various enter
prises In different parts of the state,
previous to returning to his home In
Pennsylvania In 1879. He returned to
Portland last year, and has been living
at the home of his brother since his
arrival.
The deceased is survived by his wid
ow and five children, the latter bein
Joseph and Douglas Gaston and Mrs.
Mary York, of Portland; Mrs. Annie
