July C In today's Installment of "The Road I Traveled. a copyrighted series printed by the San Francisco Bulletin. Abraham Ruef plunges straight into the heart of the dealings that upset his political power in San Francisco and Anally sent him to San Quentin for bribery. "The first public service corporation wim wmcn i naa dealings." writes Kuer. "was a telephone comnanv, Shortly after Schmlts first election as Mayor, me company sent Its repre sentative to my office." Ruef names the company and the - man ana continues: "He stated that bis company had fre quent occasion to deal with the city, and that it would save him a great deal of trouble if he could be In touch with some one who could advise and assist him in local legal matters; that the company retained many attorneys; that it was the policy of the company to engage the most Influential men. be cause they found it produced the best results, and that he bad been author ised to retain me If I was open to em ployment. "I stated that I presumed I would not be called on to try any of the com pany's cases In court- "No, he replied. 'I will call on you from time to time for advice In matters of municipal law. "I said that I saw no objection to such a retainer, but that. I would not accept without the consent of the Mayor. Schmlts had no objection. The fee offered was 1250 a month for two years. "Every' month called, at my office and paid me the 1250. It was not by check, but In cash. I found this the system of all corporations. I sub sequently adopted the same system my self. A couple of years later this re tainer was voluntarily increased to $500 a month. - . . "This retainer would never have been tendered to me at that time and in that manner had I not been the Mayor's adviser. As I look back, it is evident that the highest Ideals would have re quired its refusal. The company would expect action in its Interest. I knew - this when I accepted the fee. "This fee was the first. It led by graduations to the acceptence of spe ? cial attorney's fees for special pur ' poses, directly to the benefit of the cor : porations." Ruef continues to tell how he was subsequently employed by a represen " tatlve. whom he names, of the United Railroads, at $500 a month, on much ' the same conditions. Even in the most Intimate conversation with this agent. Ruef writes, "he shrank, as I did, nat u rally, from discussing any question of influence. Everything was on the basis of absolute legal service, but had no misunderstanding of what was meant. Once every month I called to collect the fee. It was paid In cash. Aside from the question of right or wrong, it was not deemed polite on either side, for fear of natural mis construction, to have the check drawn in my name. Later Ruef was introduced by this agent to Patrick Calhoun, president of the united Railroads. "This is Mr. Ruef, one of our promt nent attorneys and Influential men,' Ruef says the introduction ran, "whs is our good friend and can be of much service to us. "Mr. Calhoun replied: 'Everybody has heard of Mr. Ruef. I am glad to know him and I hope to know him bet ter." "We talked of various general mat ters. No business of the company was touched upon. "This was a considerable time before the fire. I met Mr. Calhoun a number of times thereafter. He never referred to my employment as attorney. As he did not broach the subject. I did not mention it to him." PIONEER -LAWYER WHO DIED FRIDAY, WAS NATIVE OF BUCKEYE STATE. ... 0 ;-V". itliilll e ? .' William Car-y Johasoa.

BUTLER LEADS OPPONENTS Line Drawn Between "Progressive" and "Standpatter" in Affairs of Education Latter Ele ment Controls Board. CHICAGO, July 8. (Special.) A struggle for the control of the National Education Association is expected to begin Monday, when the board of dlrec tors meets. At this meeting will be considered a resolution which restricts the voting of members of the organization. An er fort will be made, it is expected, - to prevent members who have joined with in three months from voting lor of fleers of the organization. This would bar out 6000 Chicago teachers who are to become active members by paying 93 as a fee. They were expected to align themselves in support of Grace C. Strachan. styled by her supporters the "progressive can' dldate for president of the association. Miss Strachan Is the candidate of 14,000 New York teachers. According to her followers, she is opposed by the standpatters," led by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University. This element is in control of the board of directors, before which the resolution which proposes to limit the franchise if expected to come. National Politics Figaro, Too. National politics is playing a part In the fight for the control of the organ ization. - The president of Columbia was prominent In the National Republican convention on the Tart side, and the forces which are opposing hla policy In the association are trying to make use of the fact to induce teachers who were opposed to President Taft to line up with them. The American school peace League will meet in Auditorium Hall Thurs day morning. Meredith von Suttler, of Vienna, a leading worker in the peace movement of .Europe, will make the principal address. A discussion of the peace movement by High. School boys of Chicago will follow. Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University, will pre side at the meeting. Closer relation of the schools to actual Ufa, even to granting . credit toward graduation for the work of the school girl who regularly cooks the family dinner, was recommended to the association today in a report that oc cupied an entire session of the Na-. tlonal Council of Education. " Practical Edaeatfaa Desaaaded. The school, particularly the high school, which fills students' minds with knowledge of conditions IS centuries old, while knowledge of the present and of bow to earn a living Is left to be picked up haphazard was declared altogether too typical. President Felmley, of Illinois State Normal University, who read the re port, declared that the ambition of school boards to remain on the accred ited list of the universities waa large ly responsible for the situation. The big Eastern "universities, he said, by drawing students from all parts of the country, exerted Influence far out of proportion to the number of students they educate, and their tendency waa to hold the schools back to the educa tlonal Ideals of half a century or more ago. "The school," said President Felm ley, "should not set Itself up as the one Institution to which all else should bend its calendar and programme. The great trouble with our school methods has been that our studies have been things apart from' the daily life and experience of the pupil." VISION SPECIALISTS MOVE Larger and More Commodious Quar. ters Secured. On account of the many changes that are to be made In the Marquam build ing at Sixth and Morrison streets, prep aratory to the opening of the new Northwest National Bank, the firms who formerly occupied this building were compelled to seek new quarters. One of the number. D. Chambers A Son. optometrists, were fortunate In seaur lng a 10-year lease on the premises at 187 Seventh street, between Morrison and Yamhill, and have equipped their new establishment with the most mod ern appliances used in the practice of optometry. . . These "vision specialists" are plon eers in their line of work, having been in business In Chicago for many years before ooming to Portland eight years ago. Since coming to this city a very extensive business has been built up by these gentlemen. The work of both the oculist and optician have been so studied as to combine the two success fully and handle It as one, the old method of first consulting an oculist and then the optician being eliminated. Ample and modern facilities for the thorough examination of diseased con ditions makes It possible lor those sul ferine- from eye troubles to get the very best service attainable. Examin ations are made for diseased conditions but the patient Is always referred to a specialist In this particular line. During the life of D. Chambers Son "a ' pleased customer" has been considered their beet advertisement. never allowing anyone to -o away dls satisfied. This alone has been one of the chief features In the consistent and stable growth of their business. TWENTY DIE FROM HEAT (Continued From First Pace.) roofs and porches were filled with tired humanity, seeking a breath of air. No Relief la Sight. Scant hope of relief is held out by the forecasters, who say the heat wave will prevail for three more days and perhaps Increase in Intensity as the air and lake continue to warm up. Suburban trains carried thousands out to nearby resorts this afternoon and evening, and every lake steamer was crowded to the extreme limit. The official thermometer, high up in the breeze, registered 88, but down in the streets the temperature went to 99. Tenement dwellers, always the chief sufferers In extreme weather, hot or cold, abandoned their work and be sieged the Ice wagons and refrigerator cars in their neighborhoods.
