FINDS NO FAVOR
Republican City Central Com
mittee Effectively Rejects
Suggestions.
MANAGERS TO BE NAMED.
Pwincl Mcmbrre to 1U? Consulted
in Selection W. It. Mpprrvon
I Made Chairman and Jay
v
II. Vpton Secretary.
With the election of W. R. Apper
in and Jay II. Vpton. .as chairman and
etretarr. respectively, the Republican
rlty central committee efTected perma
nent organization last night at a meet
ing in the assembly hall of the Port
land Commercial Club. At the time
time, the committee effectively repulsed
f arles E. Lockwood. rejecting- every
suggestion he offered for the guid
ance of the committee. . It also refused
to permit Loc k wood to speak to a
q testion of personal privilege.
The committee Instructed Chairman
A p person to appoint a campaign or
managing committee of ten members.
The appointment of another committee
of Ave members was authorised W pre
pare rules for the government of the
committee in the general conduct of the
pending municipal campaign.
Wards to Be Represented.
Chairman -A p per son announced that
before naming either of these commit
tees he would consult with the Repub
lican candidates and also the precinct
committeemen . in the several wards'.
II said Tt would be his purpose to ap
point on the executive committee one
member from each of the ten wards In
the ilty. His selections, he said, would
te as nearly as possible the choice of
the precinct committeemen in the
ward.
The, method of appointing the mem
bers of the executive committee
aroused some discussion. Lock wood.
Charles Conroy and McKinley Mitchell
insisted that the members of that com
mittee should be chosen by the pre
cinct committeemen in the several
wards. O. 1 Mil'heraon wanted the
entire committee of 153 precinct com
mitteemen to direct the affairs of the
organization. dispensing altogether
with any executive or -other sub-com
mittee. John V. Logan. James P. Mof

position until you par him a salary of
at least ii00 a year. If these are the
only two things that the public accuse
Mr. Simon of being mistaken In. and
It he la re-elected to the office of Mayor,
can they not be corrected T I certainly
think they can.
Another Important Question for the
citizens to take into consideration is
this: There is no question In my mind
but that a commission form of govern
ment will be adopted within the next
two years. I would ask the citizens
and taxpayers of this city who. in their
opinion, la more qualified. Mr. Rush
light or Mr. Simon, to prepare and in
stall this commission. On this point,
there Is scarcely any room, for argu
ment. . t
In the editorial columns of the Even
ing Journal of May 10 It Is asserted
that Mr. Simon could not be elected.
Why can be not be elected? If the citi
zens are honest in what they say that
they want a competent man to beat
Mr. Rushlight then let them get to-
. aether, and petition Mr. Simon to run
' tki. . ? f I . W 4. ft. I H
rlotisra and that he will not turn down
the cltisens In. this crucial moment
when- millions of dollars have to be
expended within the next few years In
Improvements. As far as I am individ
ually concerned. I have not the slight
est doubt in my mind but that he can
beat Mr. Rushlight for Mayor.

Platform Not Favored.
Lock wood next proposed by motion
the appointment of a committee of 10

also rejected by the committee. W. J.
Cuddy contended that It was a waste
of time to consider the appointment of
such a committee.

nominated the present Republican can
didates for municipal offices last Sat
urday." said Mr. Cuddy. "Each of
those candidates had Issued and stood
on a platform of his own. It is not for
this committee, after these candidates
have been nominated, to presume to
formulate a platform and then ask the
candidates to subscribe to It.
"We are almply a managing commit
tee and It is our function ouly'to con
duct the campaign. In the primary
campaign, these candidates enunciated
their own platforms. The voters were
satisfied with those platforms and
nominated the several candidates. It
now remains for us to elect the ticket
and cut out this elaborate talk of
adopting platforms."
Privilege Refused Lockwood.
Mr. Logan and other members of the
committee argued In a similar vein and
Chairman Apperson ruled Lock wood's
motion out of order. But Lockwood
would not be squelched. Obtaining
recognition from the chair, lie arose to
speak on a question of personal privi
lege. He proceeded to criticise a re

Central Committee, published in The
Oregonlan last Thunky morning, but
had made little progress when he was
Interrupted by. Mr. McPherson.
"I would like to Inquire if the gen

"I am speaking to a question of per

The motion was sustained by a stand

SIMON' WANTED AS CANDIDATE

PORTLAND. May 13. To the Edi
tor.) The most pertinent question be
fore the citizens of Portland todsy is
to find the proper man to run as an in
dependent candidate against Mr. Rnsh
l'lght for Mayor. I would ask the clti
sens of this city why they are looking
Ing for a candidate, when the gentle
man who Is occupying that position at
the present time Is, I believe, one of
the most competent. -careful and pains
taking Mayors who has ever filled that
place. I have know Mr. Simon for the
past 30 years and have fought him po
litically on several occasions, but I
have never seen the man yet who
will accuse Mr. Simon of any dis
honest dealings in all his political ca
reer. When he assumed the office of
Mayor he told the taxpayers that he
would devote his dime exclusively to
that position, giving up his law busi
ness entirely.- How well be has kept
his word any citizen who has had busi
ness with the office will vouch for, be
cause there Is no detail connected with
any of the commissions with which he
has not familiarized himself. He cer
tainly has kept his word.

friends that they blame him about the

County Clerk Fields January 11. when
James B. Johnson, recently of Los An
geles, appeared at the Courthouse to
record a deed. The Instrument was for
the conveyance of three lots In Ports'
mouth Addition to Johnson by Emily
Jacques Moakley. of Los Angeles. It
was executed in Los Angeles August
29. 1910. County Clerk Fields discov'
ered that the san:e property had been
transferred July IS. 1910. ostensibly by
Mrs. Moaklev to Charles F. Glrard. A
deed purporting to convey the property
to Olrard had been filed.
At the time Glrard is said to have
received title to the property he was
conducting a restaurant on Stark street.
He owned a diamond ring, weighing
six karats, which he valued at 11600.
Glrard advertised in the local papers
to exchange the ring for city lots. He
declares that Viereck brought two men
to his place of business who were will
ing to take the ring as part -payment
for three lots they said they owned in
Portsmouth Addition..
Los Angeles Man Appears. .
" Glrard Inspected the property and
was willing to make the exchange. A
month later, the trade was closed and
Glrard says he received 4 deed to the
property and Immediately had It re
corded. On the basi of the trade, the
valuation, of the lots was placed at
12000.
About the time this deed was placed
on record, Mrs. -Moakley, In Los An
geles, exchanged title in her three lots
for Los Angeles property with James
B. Johnson. At that time her abstract
had been continued to date, and John
son was satisfied with the title. Com
ing to Portland to make his home here
and build a house on his Portsmouth
property, Johnson discovered that the
lots had been deeded to Glrard. Inves
tigators of the first transaction say
that the Instrument conveying title to
Glrard had been executed fraudulently.
' Mrs. Moakley's name as the seller;
and the name of D. R. Amadon. a
notary -public with offices at 145H
First street, are said now to be for
geries. It is alleged that Viereck. who
formerly had desk room with Amadon,
obtained possession of the notary's
seal. As witnesses to the supposed sig
nature of Mrs. Moskley the. names of
H. Andrews and Mr. Amadon were
used.
Guilt Is Denied.
At the County Jail last night Viereck
declared that he was innocent of the
charge, and that he knew nothing about
the alleged forging of names In connec
tion with the deal. Glrard. now living
at Bay City. Or.. In talking with Port
land authorities over the long-distance
telephone last night, said that he was
swindled by Viereck. and that he would
come to Portland at once to appear
against the broker. He said that he
can identify the two men who worked!
with Viereck in the transaction.
It Is said that the diamond ring re
ceived from Glrard was sold to a
Washington-street Jeweler for much
less than its value.

When Patrolman B. R. Evert out

tempted to pass a worthless check at
the Walnut Fark pharmacy last nlgnt,
he caught a man badly wanted by the
police department of Portland and de
stroyed a happy honeymoon. His bride

police station after his arrest and
surrendered a gold watch and chain,

from E. F. Schneider, a Jeweler at 280

As Patrolman Evert was almost
tramping on the heels of Dunsmore In
the exciting chase. Dunsmore sud
denly turned and drew a revolver, but
In the act of raising' it to fire the of
ficer knocked It from his grasp.
December 12, 1908, he was sentenced
to Walla Walla for one to 14 years
for passing - worthless checks under
the name of C. J. Sweeney, In Van
couver. It was also learned tnat ne
had used the names Jack Kilden and
Jack Delaney and it is said his right
name Is Elsworth Boyles. Detectives
Carpenter and Graves placed a charge
of obtainining money under false pre'
tense against him.
His bride of three days was Miss
Louise Stern, a barber, employed in a
shop at the west end of the Hawthorne
bridge. . The heartbroken woman said
she met Dunsmore in the barber shop
about six weeks ago, and Dunsmore
made such rapid progress in hi
wooing that they were married at 3
o'clock last Wednesday afternoon.

reasonable distrust of Judges have led
to statutory limitations upon their
power In the Conduct of criminal trials
which have made the trial by Jury in
this country, and especially In the
Western States, an entirely different
institution from what it was under
stood to be at the time of the adop
tion of our Constitution. In many
states Judges are not permitted to
comment upon the facts at all. They
are not even allowed to charge the
Jury after the arguments of counsel.
but they are required to submit writ
ten charges upon abstruse portions of
law with no opportunity to apply the
principles concertedly to the facts of
the case.
"The restraint that a Judge in the
course of a trial Imposes upon the
manner and conduct of counsel In an
English court Is thus wholly wanting,
with the result that there seems to
have been a substantial change in the
code of professional ethics governing
counsel and in the extreme to which
counsel. In the defense of their clients,
seem to think It is entirely proper for
them to go. Their conduct makes
neither- for the dignity of the court,

greeted with great enthusiasm when
he spoke before the City Club here to

Hiram W. Johnson, Governor of Cali

plause. When he finally reached the intro
duction of Governor Wilson, the fa

Wilson was continually interrupted
by cheers and clapping. He spoke of
the commission form of government.
the initiative, referendum and recall,
of party platforms, of the Interests, of
the barrier between the voters and
their own institutions and was listened
to intently by the great audience. He
said in part:
All Democrats Progressive.
It is Interesting to me as a Demo
crat to note that, while we have heard
a great deal of talk about insurgent
Republicans, we have heard very little
about Insurgent Democrats. Insur
gents are those who throw off author
ity. It must be that the insurgent
Republicans are throwing off the au
thority of the major portion of their
party, while Democrats are free to be
progressive without being insurgents.
It would seem that to be progressive
is not to defy the general authority of
their party colleagues. I should like
to believe that this meant that the
Democratic party as a whole is natur
ally progressive, and that it is easier.
through the Instrumentality of that
party, to accomplish the new purposes
of the day than through the Instrumen
tality of the Republican party.
It Is the sober business of the pro
gressive to understand and to act. It
Is his business to know a great deal
more than that something is wrong.
Ha must know Just what is wrong.
and when be sees It he must daily rec
ognize bis duty to act and to act along
definite lines of reform. The first and
most important thing is an apprehen
sion of the actual facts. .
Direct Legislation Indorsed.
For example, a great deal of dis
cussion is now concentrated upon pro
posed methods of reform which a great
many people Interpret as meaning that
we are Impatient of our long estab
lished Institutions; that we wish to sub
stitute for representative government
some more direct, less organic sys
tem of action on the part of the peo
ple. I do not find anywhere a desire
to dispense with or to impair repre
sentative government. What I do find
ia a very general Impression that our
governments have ceased to be ' rep
resentative; that they wear the form,
but do not exemplify the reality.
Speaking of the tariff, he said: "It is
obvious, too, that behind this wall of
special favors it has been much . more
possible than it would otherwise have
been for those who conducted our In
dustries to combine and, by combining,
to assure profits to the badly equipped
factory as well as to the well equipped;
or, if necessary, to put .' tne baaiy
to see that much of the history of com
bination and monopoly in this country
In recent years has been traceable to the
opportunities afforded the illegitimate
opportunities by the protective tariff.
Base Duties on Common Interest.
"We must base our tariff policy, like
all others upon the common Interests
without regard to special interests at
all; indeed, with a view to subordinate
special interest to the common Interest.
We must adjust it also to the common
development, which Is not permitted by
our present fiscal policy. The common
development of the capacities of the
Nation is not effected by putting some
parts of its activities In the hothouse."
WORK CREW IS TO . BLAME
e
Railroad Commission to Fix Responsi
bility for Cazaderb Crash.
SALEM, Or., May 13. (Special.)
While no order has been prepared i by I
the State Railroad Commission rela
tive to the collision last Monday be
tween a work train and a passepger
train on the Cazadero line of the
Portland Railway Light & Power "om
pany, the commission has practically
reached a conclusion as to its findings.
Blame for the accident will be placed
entirely with the crew of the work
train. The commission finds that the
crew was runnlg with the expecta
tion of keeping out of the way of No.
82, and while they knew that No. 84,
with which they collided, was on the
time of the work train, this was en
tirely overlooked by the crew and as
a result the collision occurred. G. A.
Smith was motorman on the extra
train, and W. S. Simpson, conductor.
One of the most important- parts of
the order, when It is made, will be a
recommendation by the commission
that the present block system now in
use between Portland and -Lents be
extended from Lents to Cazadero, a
distance of 25 miles. This will not
come in the form of an order by tha
commission, but merely as a recom-
mendatlon. Should the road, refuse to )
pay attention to the recommend!- j
tion, however, it is probable that
the commission will start a formal In-
vestlgatlon to force the company to- v
ward such action.
