TAX INCREASE EXPLAINED City Executive Says He Has Sought to Conduct Clean Campaign and AVill Jjet the People Judge for Themselves. "j With bis usual speech dealing with 'the causes for Increased taxes lu Port land in the last two years. Mayor Rush light last night brought his campaign : t a close before a large crowd In the Bungalow Theater. Also on the pro jrrammc for the windup meeting was W . O. AUcLaren, ex-ccnator P ulton, w '. "H. Fitzgrerald and several others. The Mayor went into the details of ! what he has done during the two years fie has been Mayor. He mentioned the establishment of water pay stations. r the build in p: of a. new incinerator plant, the erection of a new jail, the adoption ' of the commission form of provernment ' and the adoption of tentative plans for ' a system of public markets. .Practically the only new improve ; Bient he mentioned that he has not ex plained at previous meetings was the : recent establishment of a rule at the : crematory that no poods or produce suitable for food shall be burned, but : ahall be turned over to the charitable organizations of the city for distribu tion to the poor. He reiterated his statement about having cleaned up the police depart- ment, sayinR that he has ousted some : of the crooks, and will get some others if permitted to remain in office. Re .frardlnjr the proposed public market, he 1 said he has not done anything- as yet, : but has laid some good plans. Let the People -Judfce Sayii Mayor. "I have tried to make a clean cam paign." said the Mayor in conclusion. "In none of my speeches have I said a word agrainst my opponent. I consid er that the dignity of the office of Mayor la too sacred for that official to i slinsr muri at soma nprson who is sek t inr the position. I have attempted to ' conduct a clean campaign. I have told my own story and allowed the others to tU theirs. Let the people be the judges. "I am not a public speaker and for that reason I have been handicapped in my campaign. I have only been able - to tell in the simple language of a jlumber, which is my vocation, the facts regarding my administration as 1 have seen taem. W. G- MacLaren. who is a member of the Rushlight Vice Commission, an . peared on the platform and reiterated Ihls statement about vice conditions in Portland. He declared that through the efforts of the Mayor the city has been cleaned up until "it is the clean est rltv on the Pacific Coast." It bad been expected that he would explain how it is that at present he declares the city is a "garden of roses compared with what it was two years ago while In a report of the vice com jnisslon in January, which report he f signed. It was set forth that condi . tions are vile and that 431 places out xif 647 Jnvetmsated were found to be dmmoral. He made no attempt Cd reconcile the two statements. Portable Audience .Leads Applause. C. W. Fulton. ex-United States Sena tor, gave much the same speech as the one he delivered several nights ago at a Rushlight meeting in Upper AJblna. He declared that Mayor Rushlight haB kept his promises. F. W. Jobelman, a resident of Mount Boo tt spolTe on the work of the Mayor. He -gave him credit for about everything that has been put through In Portland In the last four or five years. The stage and body of the theater was well crowded with the supporters of the MHyor, including "Pat" Mc Ar thur, Chief of Police Slover, Jay Bower man, Ferdinand E. Reed, C. E, Lock wood and others of the Mayor's port able audience, which has been used to lad the applause at the various meet lngs held In the city in the last two weeks. On the outside was a force of plain clothes policemen on hand to prevent any of the disturbance which had been predicted for the meeting. No trouoio was experienced. TRIMBLE TO SHOW UP MAYOR Centenary Pastor to Take Exception to Rev. Mr. MacLaren. Declaring that Mayor Rushlight has none nothing to clean up the vice con ditlons in Portland in the past and need not be expected to do anything along tnis line in the future. Rev. lk H. Trim hie, pastor of Centenary Church, a member of the Rushlight vice commis sion, announced yesterday that he wi! devote 16 minutes' time at his church 'tonight In showing up the real record at the -Mayor. The service will com 'menee at 7:45 o'clock. W. o. MacLaren, a member of the commission, has come to the defense of Mayor Rushlight with a statemen that the Mayor has cleaned up the city.' said rr. Trimble yetterday. "I take ex. ception to the remarks of Mr. Mac L&ren. I. too, am & member of the vice commission appointed by Mayor Rush light and X am in . position to know as much or more about conditions than does he. "Mayor Rushlight has done nothing to assist In cleaning up the city. The people who expect service from him along this line need not expect any re suits In the future if he is continued as Mayor. The Mayor has delayed ac tlon along this line. He has remained idle on the pretense of waiting fo the vice commission. He has used the vice commission as a 'goat' in his In activity. I don't know what the oh ject is of Mr. MacLaren making the statements He did regarding conditions. I think the people should know. "To present the facts I will devote 1 minutes of my sermon Sunday night to explaining the real and unquestionable facta regarding the action of the Mayor. 1 will attempt to show what he has done; what he has not done and what he can be expected to do In the future if he is re-elected." VON KLEIN REACHES CITY (Continued From Flr.t Pm(. fcsked me to step down to the police station. I went along: with them, realis ing that It was the only proper thin to do. On coming: to the police station :hey asked me my name, and I tol -hem that I would not lie to them but that I was not the man of the lime which she give at the station. Straaucer Goes Boad. "Realizing" that I was well known Jiad no desire to have my name brought ut In print. Ia consequence I said nothing for four or five days until had secured counsel, and then gave m 1 AS DONE name. I told the officers that I was j willing to return to Portland and face thia charge, but my attorney advised me to sue out a writ of habeas corpus. and I naturally took his advice. The numerous continuances were re quested as much on the part of the at torney for the plaintiff as on that o my attorney. For some reason or other the report got out that I had oodles of money and everybody was here with his 'hand out. I was kept in Chicago by threats, and strong in fluences were brought to bear to bring forth the supposed bank roll. When they found that I did not have the sup posed bank roll I was turned over to Detective Joe Day. An absolute strang er went my bond, and I appeared in ourt at ail times when necessary. 1 have been misrepresented, and many statements -have been miscon strued. I am some distance from friends, and as far as ray finances go, they consist of a very few dollars at the present moment, I have no idea of hiring an - attorney, nor have I money o pay for one. t nless unforseen cond itions ariso I shall fight my own caae and call for a jury trial, and I have every reason to believe that I will go ree. My heart and conscience are clean. Chivalrous Spirit Prompts. "I could not have been treated better on, my trip from Chicago here had I been with my own family. Detective Joe Day gave me all the privileges pos sible under the conditions and put me on my honor. He will verify my state ments that he had no cause to regret it. I have a good defense in this mat ter, but to tell the facts of it would not be justice to myself. I have lots of certified evidence as to this woman and her character. However, having no wish to vilify any woman, I shall ot mention the name unless necessary to impeach her testimony. I am in hopes that I will be allowed a copy of the Constitution -of the United States, of criminal procedure in Oregon, and the laws of this great state, so that I shall know how to proceed in this matter. T want to thank those who have given me the benefit of the doubt, and assure those who may be interested in the outcome of this case that I shall come out victorious. I have no way of getting a bond here and unless some tranger should come forward and go my bond, on my word of honor, I sup pose I shall have to remain in jail, like any other person charged with a crime." APPLE MEN DON'T AGREE HOOD RIVER. WANTS A MAIN OF FICE OF SEXiTjIXG AGENCY. Growers in Mass Meeting Leave Question of Affiliation to Di rectors of TTnion. HOOD RIVER, Or., May 31. (Spe cial.) Although th decision of the Hood River applegrowers In mass meet ing here this afternoon, when, repre sentatives were present from the nine divisions into which the states of Ida ho, Montana, Washington and Oregon had been divided by the North Pacific Distributors, was favorable to the cen tral distributing and selling agency organized last Fall at Spokane, the en tire responsibility of affiliation with the distributors was left to the board of dirootors of the Applegrowers As sociation, the recently-formed combina tion of local apple sales companies. As to whether or not local fruit will be shipped by the distributors this year hangs on the concession of the board of. trustees of the central agency, allow ing the Western Oregon districts to have a main office at Hood River in stead of having all of the business of the concern transacted at Spokane. When the representatives from the other Northwestern districts had re turned from a twilight ride over the valley and had finished a banquet ten dered them. It was thought that the action of affiliation at a joint meeting of the trustees of the Central Agency and the board of directors of the local association would be a mere formality. However, the point of establishment of a branch of the distributors here cre ated, an Issue between the members of the distributor trustees east of the Cas cades and local growers and the de liberations bid fair to be conducted until the wee small hours of Sunday morning. The following members of the board of trustees attended tonight's meeting: J. H. Robblns, general manager of the Yakima Valley Fruit Growers' Asso ciation: J. A. Gealltly, of Wenatohee. who has superseded W. T. Clark, the latter having recently resigned; Harry Huber. of Milton ; w. N. Yost, of Meri dian, Idaho; H. C. Sampson, secretary, of Spokane, and W. M. Sackett, of Ham ilton, Mont. H. F. Davidson, of this city, who is treasurer of the organiza tion, and a nephew of the executive committee, was also present. The following members of the ex ecutive committee of the Yakima Val ley Fruit Growers' Association were here: F. E. Sickels, secretary presi dent of the Lower Naches District As sociation; O. S. Follonsbe, of the Zlllah Association; A. J. Pressy. of the Silah Association; F. F. Morris, vice-presi dent, of the Grand View Association; J. J. Rudkin. of the Kennewkk Asso ciation, and 1 B. Parsons, of the North Nob Hill district. Other marketman and growers here were A. G. Masey, of vvenatchee; W. S. Brown, of Corvallls, representative of the Benton County Association: W. K. Newell, of Gaston; Owris Doran, of Spokane, and J. M. Carroll, of Mosier. The trustees of the Distributors were accompanied by N. C. Richards, of Spo- Kane, tneir general counsel.

RAGE ENDS IN DIN OF STREET TALKS Music of Many Bands Blends With Oratorical Strains and Voters' Cheers. CAMPAIGN'S CLOSE JOYOUS Five Mayoralty and Most of' 75 Com mlsstonershlp Aspirants Repre sented In Battery of Fleas Fired on Last Night. American citizens in Portland cer tatnly exercised their constitutional right of free speech last night. That part of the population not en gaged In exercising this privilege gave passive Banction to its use by others, for they stood attentively by. and like the Romans of old, lent critical ears to the appeals of the modem Marc An tonys who have developed into prac tical politicians appealing in bold hut practical manner for votes. . It was the closlnir night of probably the most interesting campaign in the history of Portland the first cam paign under the newly adopted com mission form of srovernment. Each of the five candidates for Mayor and nearly all of the 75 candidates for Commissioner were represented on the streets within the busy and eventful evening. Orator?, Music and Cheeri Blend. The husky voices of a dozen speak ers, the loud blare of half a dozen brass bands and the discordant cheers of 5000 throats combined to make it also a mighty noisy evening. Moreover, it was a happy and joy- ous one. The fun started early. it contlued until midnight. It never abated in the Interim. An auto truck carrying & brass band Dlavins- popular airs and bearing ban ners proclaiming the candidacy of H. R. Albee for Mayor was tne nrsi aem onstration of the night. It met with a cordial reception in every street through which it moved. The Albee float had hardly passed from sight and sound when a proces sion of automobiles, headed by a band, and presenting the candidacy of C. L. McKenna for Mayor, made its appear ance. It likewise was given a hearty welcome. The McKenna supporters remained much in evidence throughout the nisrht. They held forth at the northeas' corner of Sixth and Wash ington streets and one of their number constantly was speaking. Kellaher Rivals Attacked. Diagonally across the street inter section was another automobile from which a battery of Kellaher speakers issuea repeated voueys vji yoruiti at tacks against each or tne otner canai dates the while setting forth the plat form upon which "Common User Dan' Is seeking to be elected. In front of the Wilcox building xom J. Lewis, a Socialist orator with tre mendous lung power and keen wit, kept a large crowd interested In the canal dacy of W. J. Smith, who also would De Mayor. Midway between Washington and Alder streets, on Sixth street, J. C. Lane spoke in support of Albee. On his breast was pinned a sign bearing tne slogan. 1 Am Against Rushlight." Lane is a speaker of no mean ability and never failed to attract a crowd- He changed his position several times within the evening so as to attract the attention of a maximum number of voters, but many voters followed him from place to place. Meanwhile the Albee band continuea parading through the streets, playing popular and patriotic airs and receiv ing loud appla-use wherever it appeared. Toward the latter part of tne even ing the street crowds were offered the paradox or seeing tne socialist ieaa ers who- are espousing the cause of the "downtrodden masses,'' riding proudly through the streets in automobiles and led by a hand. Socialists Gather Strength. Tnis Socialistic procession continued throuerh the streets for more than an hour. It gathered strength as it pro ceeded. By the time it reached its greatest proportions it contained more than 1000 men and a good many women. They were good natured and possessed of a full measure of the spirit or tne occasion. They cheered and sang as they marched. As they passed the stands of the other speakers they cheered so loudly that the voices of the others were completely drowned and they had to desist until after the tumultuous throng had moved- out of range. "Social Ownership or iudiic utilities Is the slogan under which the Social istic candidates are making their cam paign. At the northeast corner of Sixth and Washington streets a young man made feeble but futile efforts to enlist the sympathy of those about him In the candidacy of one Ralph C. Clyde for Commissioner. He found himself un equal to the task and .fter a fruitless quarter of an hour drove disgustedly away In his automobile. Rushlight Is Attacked. The Kellaher orators directed their arguments principally against Mayor -RnahHtrht and pointea out max na is supported b7 a weekly paper that is the official organ of an association of employers who are advocating a closed shop and destruction -i me unions. About 10 o'clock Kellaher himself appeared and made a brief speech. He was given an ovation. There was a literal avalanche of can didates' cards, though. They were thrown from the windows of tall build- in irs and from the tonneaus of passing automobiles, virtually aeiuging tne -Mode in the streets. It was not nnu tne srroKe or ia an nounced the dawn of a new day that thev ceased their activity. As this new day is Sunday ana as tomorrow is elec tion day these midnight orators fur nished the last verbal volleys of the campaign. PRESIDENT URGES ACTION Curency Legislation at This Session Declared Essential. WASHINGTON, May 31.
