volving an expenditure of approximate

allied lllll railroads on the property
recently acquired by them on the East

front and Union arenue.
Carl It- Gray. president of the North
Rank Road and Mill linn In Oregon,
will meet with the East Side Bunlnena
Men Club at the East Side branch li
brary on Tuesday evening and present
the plana he has prepared and which
he Is ready to carry Into execution,
provided the shippers of Portland aid
him In securing franchises for con
struction of tracks through certain
Kast Side streets and agree to patron
ize the new enterprise after It Is In
operation.
M.nm.lh Teraalaal rtaaaed.
The Improvement plans provide,
among other Items, for the construc
tion of an Immense eight or ten-story
freight terminal planned on lines sim
ilar to those of the famous Bush ter
minal In New York. It Is proposed to
operate the trains through the middle
of the building, with loading platforms
or either side. Accommodations for
v'ortng g-oods of Individual shippers
will be provided and rented. It will
also Include accommodations for ware
houses and small manufacturers.
In addition to the main terminal
building, the Hill lines will erect nu
merous smaller warehouses as soon as
they have reasonable assurance that
they ran be rented. Inducements will
be held out for factories to locate alona;
the railroad tracks. The Industries that
arc expected to develop as a result of
the Improvement are expected to sup
ply ample means for keeping them
active and make them economically
successful.
Means of connecting- this East Fide
terminal with the West Side property
of the Hill lines have not yet been de
termined, but several plans are under
consideration.
tlarrlssaa Track May Be I'seiL
The most desirable route provides for
In boldest execution. It Is for the
lllll lines to use the magnificent new
llarrlman double track, double-deck
bridge across the Willamette now Dur
ing completion. This will be possible
and entirely practicable, providing the
Hill lines can secure an approach on
each aide, as the bridge Is being built
with common-user provisions. It Is
known that representatives of the Hill
roads have been negotiating In the last
few weeks for property that will pro
vide' them with an approach to the
new bridge on both the East
and the West Eld of the river. If they
are successful In this endeavor It Is
almost certain that the new bridge
will be used.
Use of the Southern Pacific bridge
at Oswego, which waa built with com
mon user provisions, too. Is being con
sidered. Connection with this bridge
would be furnished through the pro
posed new line of the Oregon Electric
past Elk Rock, on the West Fide, and

TKidem'a Managers Eliminate

BY SUMXER CCKTIS.
WASHINGTON. May 4. (Special.)
Although they have eliminated Colonel
Roosevelt In their reviews of delegate
elections already held and in their
analysis of state situations still pend
ing, the Taft managers are preparing
to put up harder fights than ever dur
ing the remaining part of the pre
conventlon campaign.
As the alignment stands today. Colo
nel Roosevelt cunnot win enough dele
gates among those still to be elected
to capture the nomination at Chicago.
Of far greater Importance to tho Taft
forces than the numerical strength to
be gained In a few state contests, how
ever. Is to keep unbroken the align'
ment that exists. Allowance must be
made for some defection from Taft In
the South, although In the end effec
tive means may be found for prevent
ing violations of Instructions. Noth
ing, however, will serve to give ao much
moral support to a continuance of the
Taft majority that now prevails ap
parently aa a few mora popular vic
tories such aa that won In Massachu
setts. -
Overwhelsalaar Victory Desired.
A atlll further reaaon or what may
be called a variation of the reason Just
suggested Is to make the Taft strength
so formidable as to Insure his nomina
tion at Chicago on the first ballot.
There are three avowed candidatea now
in the field, and there Is no telling
what would happen If La Follette, with
his small bunch of delegates, were abla
to deadlock the situation when ballot
ing time arrived.
With many of the supporters of ex-
President Roosevelt, the underlying;
idea baa been "anything to defeat
Taft." The campaign In Its evolution
has developed on the Taft side a corre
sponding determination to defeat Roose
velt. This determination has helped to
keep some of the Influences on the Taft
aide from swerving to a dark horse
candidacy. The fight has been predi
cated on the belief, amounting to a
practical certainty, that an attempt to
play any third candidate game of strat
egy at this time would cause a break
to Roosevelt and perhaps nominate him
on the first ballot.
Park florae Talk Still Heard.
The logic of the dark horse situation
la entirely lacking, therefore, so far
aa the Taft leadera are concerned; but
as a matter of the day's news and gos
sip, talk aa to the possibility of a new
candidate cannot be Ignored. Perbapa
the roost significant feature of the sit
uation at this stage, when Taft appears
to have auch a lead that Roosevelt can
not hope to overtake him. la that cer
tain active supporters of the Colonel
are saying:
"It does not look so well aa It might
for Roosevelt, but Taft will not be re
nominated, anyhow,"
This sort of talk means that If Roose
velt cannot be nominated, and If It la
seen clearly that be la beaten before
the National convention gets to work,

Miss Dorothy Schunck, a young Bos
tonlan of unusual attractiveness. Is one
of the first women attorneys to practice
law In the San Francisco Police Courts.
She appeared today before Police Judge
Shortal In her maiden case.
It Is not to earn a livelihood that Miss
Schunck baa turned to the practice of
law here, but to lend aid to those o
her sex who are In need. She believes
that by representing; In court young
women accused of crime and seeing
that they are given an impartial hear
Ing. she will be pursuing humanitar
Ian work, that will prove well worth
while.

and wearing a Jaunty picture hat, the

room and announced that she was rep
resenting Klla Williams, a young worn
an accused of stealing clothing from a
roommate.

SANTA MONICA. Cal.. May 4. One
hundred and seventy-five thousand
persons saw new worlds records es
tablished at the fourth annual Santa
Monica automobile races here today.
Teddy Tetxlaff. of Los Angeles, driv
ing a 90-horsepower Flat, won the 303-
mile free-for-all with the phenomenal
record of 78.50 miles an hour, breaking
the previous mark of "4.63, made last
year by Harvey Herrick In a National
on the same course. Caleb Bragg, of
Pasadena, was second and David Bruce
Brown, of New York, the favorite, was
third.
In the medium-car event, Relph re
Palma. the Italian driver, in a Mercer,
set a new record of 9.54 miles an hour
for 151 miles, and In the light-car event
George Joermann, of Los Angeles, driv
ing a Maxwell, placed the 101-mlle rec.
ord for small cars at 61.86 miles an
hour.
Tires Hit .Spectator.
Only one serious accident marred the
day's racing. Kear the finish of the
free-for-all. 'David Lewis, Jn a Stutz
car, threw a tire which struck William
Ross, of Santa Monica. Ross was
knocked unconscious, but not danger
ously injured.
In his fourth lap Barn".r Oldfleld's
iuge Fiat threw a .tire at soldiers
Home turn. The tire struck R. W.
Pierce, a spectator, a glancing blow,
but did not injure him.
Again Oldfleld. going more than 100
miles an hour, dashed Into the ditch,
but tho daring driver once more es
caped unhurt, though this accident and
he breaking of a front axle spring in
the race virtually put him out of the
running.
Tetzlaff drove a beautiful race, tak-
ng the. lead in the second round. He
was never headed. Lap after lap was
reeled off at the rate of more than
00 miles an hour on the straight
aways, and It was seen early in the
race that, barring accidents, he had
far too much speed for any of the other
cars. Only twice did he stop for tire
trouble. "
Favorite Is Outclassed.
David Bruce-Brown, favorite in the
big race, and Barney Oldfleld, who an
nounced that he would be able to "come
back," were virtually "raced off their
wheels." Tetxlaff set 'a heartbreaking
pace at the very outset and through
out the long grind Bragg seemed to be
the only driver able to keep within
hailing distance of liim. Dingley, in
his powerful Simplex, was a disappoint
ment, never standing better than
fourth.
In the medium-car event De Palma
virtually had no opposition, taking the
lead at the start and showing the waj
to the finish.
The light-car event proved the iar
prise of the day. Joermann and his
Maxwell scarcely had been noticed in
the entries, but by consistent driving
Joermann. who first sat in a racing
car eight months ago, gradually forged
to the front and won with five min
utes to spare.

typified by a faultlessly white starched
collar, but yesterday it was not suf

This attack upon the head of the
commonwealth was entirely friendly
and the Governor emerged grinning
his acknowledgement that lie had been
properly dealt with.
Yesterday was Campus day at the
university. On such days are certain
small matters ' of custom to be ob
served, violations oT which have al
ways resulted In summary punishment.
Unwittingly, the Governor had trodden
on one of these traditionss by failing
to remove his collar and necktie and
they were, taken from hiin.
