THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 15, 1909. M 0 R G A f J BOOMED FOR MAYORALTY New York Reformers Turn to Trust-Builder for Aid to Beat Tammany. HE WOULD CUT OUT WASTE Financiers Will Try to Force Him to Accept Nomination Xew ' York Grows Too Costly to Live In. Why Tammany Win. BY I.I.OTT) F. LONERGAX NEW TORK. Aug. 14. (Special.) Seven prominent members of the Com : mlttee of One Hundred, backed up by : a number of prominent financiers and business men. are preparing to launch a Mayoralty boom that Is decidedly out of the ordinary, for the name of their candidate is J. Pierpont Morgan, the financier, -who Is known all over the Klobe. It is a peculiar campaign, for they do not say that their man will accept. It is a doubtful fight, because the best 'of political experts will not say whether Mr. Morgan would be an Ideal candidate or a sure loser, while the wealth and standing of the man add unusual features to the case. In many respects it is more remarkable than the boom for Theodore Roosevelt which was launched a while ago and promptly died, because no one. believed he would take the office. l"p- to date the boom has been con fined to taxpayers' organizations and small weekly papers which reflect their views. The promoters say, however, that if they receive proper encourage ment the "Morgan boom" will make a noise like a nomination. City Too Costly to Live In. Here Is the way the matter looks to one of the leaders In the movement. He is vice-president of one of the biggest trust companies In the city, and has never been active In politics except as a cheerful giver around election times. He says: "The coming campaign must be fought along entirely new lines. We are rapidly educating the people so that they see there is graft and waste In practically every department of the city government. Besides this, the new tax rate, the highest in the history of the city, means new burdens to every householder. "New York is rapidly Increasing In ; wealth, but municipal expenses are ln : creasing at a faster rate. Men who have studied the situation and realise i what we are coming to view the future I with concern. "With 10 years more of Tammany Hall It is an absolute fact thaf only the very rich could afford to live on Manhattan Island. Excessive rents and the tunnels under the North River have driven thousands of families to New Jersey. Real estate agents who have charge of flats renting from 15 to $75 a month state tenants by the hundreds have refused to renew leases, which ex pire on October 1. Only the cheap East Fide tenements are filled up, and there the rents have been raised. "Increased taxation ultimately comes out of the man who hires a home, and at present rentals are out of proportion to the incomes of householders. Thou sands and thousands of salaried em ployes pay over half they receive to the landlord. It Is too much of a strain and Impossible to keep up. "The only way to reform present con ditions is to run the city on an economi cal basis. The only method of securing this Is to elect a Mayor who will run municipal affairs along sane business lines." Morgan Would Stop Waste. Tan anybody doubt that J. Pierpont Morgan Is the man to fill the bill? He Is the leading financier of the world, and has tackled harder problems and carried them to success. "Were he in the Mayor's chair, need less extravagances would be blocked and our finances placed on a firm basis. Four years of Morpan would bo worth 11,000, i to New York." This gentleman was asked whether he or his friends had any assurances that Mr. Morgan would accept the position, to which he replied, after a moment's hesitation: "It 14 unnecessary to say that he Is not a candidate In the common acceptance cf the term. But Mr. Morgan has proven In the past thaf he is a good citizen and ready to suffer discomfort to aid the com munity. Although I am not authorized to speak for him. Iam convinced that he iould be Induced to accept a unanimous jicmination If shown that it was his duty to do so. "How better could he round out a busy, useful life than by lending his splendid talents to the aid of his city? But it is rather early fo talk about that now. We rmist first bring about his nomination." Old line politicians are stupefied, by the "Morgan boom." It Is without paral lel In municiixil politics, and they do not know what to make of It. Tammany Man Puzzled. "Little Tim" Sullivan Is regarded as rne of the shrewdest Judgrs of local poll-tli-al conditions. He-is vice-president of the Board of Aldermen and high In the council of Tammany. When asked for an expression of opinion on the matter, said frankly: "Honestly. I cannot tell you what kind c-f a candidate J. Pierpont Morgan would m-ikc. He might run well because of his business standing, his wealth and his friends. On the other hand, the trust Issue might make him the worst beaten man in local history. Anyway. I don't frelleve he will take the nomination. "This talk about Morgan shws one thing Very clearly, and that Is the Pusionlsts re having trouble to find candidate. Tammany will win in a walk this Fall. What Sullivan says about the lack of candidates is a fact, and one that Is caus ivg much concern In the fusion camp. Many of the leaders also believe that the "issues'" which have been presented up to date. Important though they may be. re beyond the comprehension of the average voter. And It is the "average voters" who decide elections. Source of Tammany's Strength. The Evening World, which Is frankly anti-Tammany, had an Interesting editor ial the other day entitled. "Where Tam many's Strength Is." It told of the an nual outing of the Amsterdam Demo cratic Club, the organization in the 15th Assembly district, and described the hands, games and meals at the grove In College Point. Then the writer went on '"what Leader Haran of the 15th district Is doing Is a sample of what every Tam many district leader does on a greater cr le"s scale. He makes himself part of the social life of the district. He com Mnea politics and recreation, politics and t.'ie nome. politics and the family. It is the district leader's duty to see that the rent la paid, that there Is coal T In the Winter time and Ice in the Summer. I jiat the boya get atarled at work, that the fathers have Jobs, that the girls marry, that the churches are prosperous, that the police and police courts are lenient- Suppose that the tax rate has gone up, how many of the members of the Amster dam Democratic Club and their families realize the amount in dollars and cents It means to them in higher rent and costlier food ? Suppose the city government is Ineffi cient, unintelligent and wasteful, the Board of Estimate is a far-off body. Not one in a 100 voters could give the names of its members or its duties and powers. A brass band, an excursion, a balloon ascension, an all-day lunch and a parade are tangible things. They appeal to the eve. the ear and the taste. To hava a friend in power who will Intercede at the police court, who will dispense intel ligent charitv. who will act as adviser, protector and friend that is equally tan gible and most valuable. And the fusion workers are beginning to realize that they cannot win a mu nicipal election if their only ammuni tion is dry statistics. They need a good, active Issue, and a man who Is looked up to. Banker Morgan's friends, it might be added, are convinced that he Is the man and can be relied upon to supply the Issue. DIES 10 FLEE DISEASE BEIXIXGHAM MAX IXHALES GAS TO END STRl'GGLE. Overcome by Deadly Fumes as He Takes Last Drink, He Drops Whisky Bottle. LOS ANGELES, Cal. Aug. 14. (Spe cial.) Made despondent by illness, Morris Green Smith, aged 25. killed himself with gas yesterday evening at 2021 Downey avenue.

Considerable anxles. exists here over the decision of the State Board of Con trol In reierence to the rights of the two companies who are contesting for pos session of the Thief Valley Irrigation project. The Almlrall-Jacobs Company continues to work about 50 men In sur veying the tract northeast of Baker City which Is to be covered with water, and the Cookingham-Thacher people, who claim a prior right to the property, have ceased operation and disbanded their sur veying crews. It is stated through the Cookingham Thacher employes that sufficient in formation was obtained and the contour defined In such a way that it will not be necessary to progress farther until the decision Is handed down. The Almirall Jacobs survey, is so complete in detail that it will be used by the Government In case neither of the contesting com panies put in the project and the Gov ernment is forced to take up the work. TRAINS CRASH; ONE DEAD (Continued From First Pne first engine of No. 8 saw another train coming slowly down the incline. He slammed on the emergency brakes and then shouted to other members of the crew to Jump. Before they had time to lump. No. 8 had rammed So. 1 so hard that all three engines lay in the ditch. Fireman J. A. Gissage, of train No. S, was killed as he was firing his engine, and never knew what struck him. The members of the other crew escaped se rious Injuries by Jumping. Engineer Becomes Maniac. The engineer on the first engine of No. 8 Is reported to have been working extra and since the wreck has been acting like a madman. He had to be held down by friends. Smoker No. B72, attached to train No. 8. was the car In which the people were killed. All those badly Injured were In the same car. The baggage cars on both trains, the smokers and the next cars were all wrecked. The three engines are total wrecks.

HUMPHREY ACTIVE WORKER FOR 1ST Senior Congressman From Pa cific Northwest Is Man Who Does Things. MUCH IS EXPECTED OF HIM Other States Besides Washington Look Forward to His Efforts in Xext Congress With Hopefulness. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 14. As ranking Congress man from the Pacific Northwest, Wil liam E. Humphrey, of Washington, con sidering his committee assignments, will be in position to accomplish much for his state and section in the regu lar sessions of the present Congress. The very fact that he is the senior member gave him the best committees ever accorded any Representative from his Bection, and, having such commit tees, and enjoying the confidence of the House leaders, won during his six and a half years' service, he will be even more of a factor in the future than he has been In the past. The record which Mr. Humphrey made during the last regular session, and the special session Just closed, is one reflecting much credit upon him. His part in the tariff fight, his fight against free lumber and free coal, and his speeches in defense of the Indus tries of Washington, are of so recent occurrence as to require no review now. Some of the other things charged to his credit, however, things transpir ing since Mr. Humphrey came to Washington last December, are here set forth, as elaborated by Mr. Humph rey just before he left home. Subsidy Bill First. Ship subsidy is the subject that has been foremost in the mind of Mr. Humphrey ever since he first came to Congress. He always has been a great believer in the upbuilding of the Amer ican merchant marine, and he always has favored Government aid In accom plishing this end. During the 60th Congress Mr. Humphrey exerted his ut most influence to secure the passage of some sort of subsidy bill; he was not particularly pleased with the so-called "postal subvention bill." because he believed it did not go far enough. He wanted an out ar.d out subsidy bill. But when It was evident, that such a measure could not pass, he worked for the subvention plan, which went down to defeat. To keep alive public interest In the ship-subsidy question, Mr. Humphrey, during the past Winter and Spring, made a number of speeches on the sub ject, including addresses before com mercial bodies of New York, Cleveland. Baltimore, Indianapolis, Fall River, Mass.; Cincinnati, and Bay City. Adrian and Jackson. Mich. He also made an address at the dinner given by the Merchant Marine League to Speaker Cannon in this city on June 23 last. It was at this dinner that President Taft and Speaker Cannon both declared themselves in favor o a modified ocean mail subsidy. The following day Mr. Humphrey in troduced his latest ship subsidy bill, which has been referred to the mer chant marine committee, of which Mr. Humphrey is ranking member, and next Winter he will undertake not only to have his bill reported by the com mittee, but passed by the House. Mr. Humphrey will never rest until some sort of a subsidy bill has been written into the Federal statutes. Olympic Preserve His. None of Mr. Humphrey"s singe-handed accomplishments last Winter gave him greater pleasure than the creation of a Federal game preserve in the Olympic Mountains. For years he has attempted, by legislation, to have such a preserve set aside, but always without success. The day before President Roosevelt re tired from office Mr. Humphrey went to bim with a last request. "I will do what you want," said the President impetuously, "but don't bore me with the- details." Mr. Humphrey explained that he want ed the Olympic Mountains converted into a game preserve. "It shall be done," said the President, and the next day it was done, but in order to make his action conform to the law, the President ordered the conver sion of 7.V.0 acres in the heart of the Olvmpic Mountains into a "National monument." Game preserves and Na tional parks can only be created by act of Congress; National monuments may be created by Executive order. Y'et in this instance the National monument Is a game preserve in all but name. Thus did Mr. Humrey. with the connivance of the President, circumvent Congress, and attain his end. Later on, Mr. Humphrey hopes to have this National monument converted into National park, for not until then will funds be available for building roads and otherwise opening up the Olympics to tourists, campers, etc. As a National monument, however, the Olympics are as safe against hunters as If they had been, by act of Congress, made a huge game preserve. Gets Immigration Office. Speaking of the recent creation of the office of Commissioner of Immigration at Seattle, Mr. Humphrey said: "The establishment of this office is a demonstration of the fact that in the eyes of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Seattle has become one of the great ports of the country. Mr. Ellis De Bruler, who was appointed Commlssioner; is one of my closest friends, and one of my staunchest political supporters. I am better pleased over the creation of this office and the appointment of Mr. De Bruler than over anything that I have accomplished of that kind." Referring to legislation of his which had been successfully enacted into law. Mr. Humphrey mentioned his bill grant ing the privilege of immediate trans portation on dutiable goods to the pons of Blaine and Sumas: the bill extending the time for construction of the Alaska Short Line Railway, and his amendment Included in the last river and harbor bill extending the time In which James A. Moore may construct the long-delayed Lake Washington Canal. Another Humphrey bill which was suc cessful authorizes the establishment of two or more fish hatcheries on Puget Sound. This bill was twice defeated in the House before final adoption. TO CHANGE JVIARRIAGE LAW Bill In Washington House to Rempve Objectionable Features. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 14. (Spe cial.) Representative E. L. French, of Clark County, who is spending Sunday at his home at Ellsworth, said here to day that a bill was introduced this week in the House of Representatives of the State Legislature by Representative Ghent which repeals the objectionable features of the present marriage law. The bill provides that applicants for a marriage license, instead of having to present a physician's certificate which testifies to their good health, may make affidavit before the County Auditor, who Issues marwage licenses, that they are free from certain diseases specified in If this bill becomes law, the situation in Washington with regard to the ex penses connected with securing a mar riage license will be the same as it was before the present marriage law was enacted; that 1b, it will cost but S3 to get a marriage license, whereas under the present law it costs between 118 and $58. The general sentiment among the members of the lower house is in favor of amending the marriage law so as to get rid of the physical examination feature and thus put a stop to the de pletion of the county revenues, which loss has been heavy throughout the state since the marriage law went Into effect, June 10 last. E IS BAXK EXAMINER GATCH VISITS LEWISTOX. Government Official Also There to Look Up Land-Fraud Evidence? LEWISTON. Idaho. Aug. 14. Peyton Gordon, of Washington, D. C, special assistant attorney to the United States Attorney-General, was an arrival here last night, and stated today that he is here to examine evidence in the North Idaho land-fraud cases, in which Kester, Kettenbach, Dwyer and Robnett were In volved, and which has attracted atten tion for the past four years. In some of the cases above, the defendants were found guilty, but all were reversed by the higher courts, and in some instances remanded for new trial. .Mr. Gordon says that the cases will be tried again. Special agents have been here for the past two months looking up evidence, and since the' above defendants have been so closely allied with the Lewiston .National Bank in the past. It is believed that Mr. Gordon is also here to look into evidence surrounding the alleged bank shortage of more than J130.000 for which C. W. Rob nett and J. E. Chapman, former employes of the bank, have been held for Federal Court trlaL Claude Gatch, National Bank Examiner, also arrived here last night and is in conference with Mr. Gordon today. Special agents are also at the conference, and this leads to the belief that both land-fraud cases as well as the bank-shortage cases will be up for their consideration. Mr. Gordon was special prosecutor at Boise, in the Barber Lumber Company, of Boise, and Barber Moon, of Wisconsin, cases, which were recently up before Fed eral Court at Boise. He expects to re main here some time. LOGGER'S SKULL CRUSHED Third Fatality .Within Week' Xear Clatskanie. CTATSKANIB, Or., Aug. 14. (Special.)
