Colonel lHtUr Petty Politicians
Are Only Disturber Confession
of McNamarss Deemed Bene
flclal Five In Party. .
"ITosperity Is camping in the door
yard of evervone In rortland. said
Colonel I M. Bowers. vico-president of
liie. Colorado Fuel Iron Company and
confidential asent for John V. Rocke
feller and the Standard Oil Interests,
who arrived In Portland on the private,
car Sunrise last night.
"Money Is more- plentiful now than It
has been at any time In the last three
or four years. Crops are rood, busi
ness Is good, wages are good and the,
situation everywhere, Is Improving.
"Politics alone are responsible for
any uneasiness that exists In the busi
ness world. By that I don't mean the
approaching election. I don't think
that capital Is apprehensive on that
account. The treatment accorded cap
ital by the last two administrations at
Washington has not been helpful, and
X don't think a change of any kind is
greatly feared."
Petty Politicians Biassed.
Mr. Bowers was reminded that the
opponents of the Tatt Administration
always bavs charged It with undue
friendship with "big business."
"I dnt call the prosecution of the
steel trust undue friendliness, nor do
1 rank the decisions In the Standard
Oil and tobacco cases as such."
It Is petty politicians that Is the dis
turbing element In the business world,
averted Mr. Bowers. This class ha
formed as bad as the axltators who are
i-ontlnuslly creating dissatisfaction In
ihA ranks of the laboring men.
Sir. Bowers Is greatly Interested In
t.ie McNamara case and speculated on
tie probable cause of the confessions.
Other Dvaaatltera Soseected.
Me believes that others than the lie
Nt'.tnarat brothers are Implicated In the
numerous dynamiting outrages com-n-itted
in the country In the last few
rars. The result, he said, will be
-boiome for both business and labor
organisations.
"Many of my associates." he said,
"have refused to recognise the labor
unions and continually have Ignored
them. Whether we recognise them or
not. the fact remains that they are
there. They always will be there and
I think the objection to them soon will
disappear."
Mr. Bowers Is accompanied by his
wife. R. J. Huron, general manager of
the Colorado Wyoming Railway, and
his sons. F. Taylor Bowers and wife
and Clement B. Bowers, They are trav
eling for pleasure and left this morn
ing for California.

deliver a special sermon for the occasion
Details as to Time on Beats, Location
Patrol Boxes. Etc, Is Sup
plied to Men.
As an aid further to systematlie the
police department and to regulate the
goings and comings of the patrolmen on
the different reliefs, John B. Coffey,
chairman of the police committee of the
Executive Board, has complied and
caused to be published In a vest-pocket
edition valuable and necessary Informa
tion for the members of the department.
Among the contents of the pamphlet
Is a detail showing the time at which
policemen on the different reliefs are
to report to headquarters when cover
ing their beats. The number and lo
cation of the patrol boxes on the dif
ferent beats Is shown in another com
pilation. Other Information supplied is
a list of the beau on the different re
liefs, the territory covered by each and
the hours of patrol duty thereon, to
gether with designation of the reliev
ing points. s -
The pamphlet also contains informa
tion relative to license tags, their de
scription and rules governing the licen
ses. In giving the patrolman this par
ticular Information, it Is expected that
the officers In covering their beats will
be able to .'end great assistance to the
license department of the city In seeing
that the provisions of the license ordi
nances of the qlty are strictly com
plied with and that the city derives Us
proper revenue therefrom.
The new regulations, which do not
differ materially from those now in
force, except that they are furnished
the members of the department In
printed form, went Into effect Decem
ber 1. In explanation of his purpose
In having the regulations printed and
distributed among the members of the
department. Police Commissioner Cof
fey said yesterday the plan was de
signed to acquaint the patrolmen spe
cifically with the territory covered by
their beats and at the same time to
inform them when they should report
to the police station when on duty.
With the possession of one of these
pamphlets by each patrolman, the shift
ing of the men from one relief to an
other as well as changing beats, which
Is the policy of the police committee,
can be effected without unnecessary
confusion or possible disorganisation of
the efficiency of the department. Com
pilation of the general information con
tained In the pamphlet represents six
weeks' earnest work on the part of Mr.
Coffey.

Crawford today advised
John M. Williams. Indian Justice of the
Peace of the Sllets. what course he
could pursue In case the District At
torney failed to aid him in prosecuting
offenders.
"Tours of recent dste to Governor
West saying that the District Attorney
refuses to prosecute violators of the
law in your district, has Instructed you
not to issue warrants for arrest with
out first consulting his office, and that
the County Court refuses to audit your
cost bills In criminal cases, has been
referred to this office for answer. Re
plying thereto would say If the Dis
trict Attorney refuses to support you
In your effort to punish violations of
the law you have a hard proposition on
your hands. It is made his duty to
direct proceedings In the Justice Court
and the code provides further that be
fore any Justice shall be entitled to his
tees In any prosecution the complaint
must first be submitted to and ap
proved by the District Attorney. So It
Is pretty much up to the District At
orney to bring or prevent criminal pro
ceedings. However, if the prosecuting
officer refuses to act you may appoint
a special attorney to represent the
state In criminal prosecutions and rea
sonable compensation will be allowed
therefor for yourself and the County
Court."

284 WASHINGTON STREET FOURTH
Our Pianola Pianos Mast and Shall
Be Sold or Rented Before the Holi
days, no Matter What the Sacrifice.
PAY $8 A MONTH
The Pianola Piano was considered the very best
Player Piano tip to some time ago. But the many
Improvements developed in the Autopiano have rele
gated the other instrument far to the rear. There
axe now more than twice as many Autopianos sold
than all other makes of Player Pianos combined.
We had to choose between the Autopiano and the
instrument made by the combine. We should have
been guilty of faithlessness to the interests of the
thousands of people who buy of us annually, the
people who repose confidence in us, if we had not
decided upon the Autopiano.
We are therefore determined to get rid of all
Pianola Pianos, no matter what the sacrifice. The
injunction secured by the Combine recently, whereby
it was intended to compel us to adhere to certain big
retail prices, has been dissolved. Eilers Music House
has the right to sell Pianola Pianos at any price it
sees fit, provided it offers them as so-called "second
hand." Thus it is that Pianola Pianos that have
never been used, and are the latest 'improved types,
are ticketed in our salesroom as "second-hand."
Our Special Offer
Pianola Pianos at the reduced prices, as hereto
fore advertised, on payments of $8 down and $8 a
month. Remember there are no extras. Rent a
Pianola Piano at $8 a month, and if, at any time
within a year, you determine to buy it, we will allow
all rent paid toward purchase price.
Nothing could be fairer nothing more liberal.
On this, basis we ought to dispose of every Pianola
Piano in our establishment before the Holidays.
