'.:-'-' -V I W Y"-''j T.i Although the Albee-Dleck-Brewstr recall election will cost the city about . 25,000, the three officials whom the recallers seek to remove from office ex pressed satisfaction yesterday over the , outcome of the Columbia County case in the State Supreme Court involving ; the legality of the recall. The decision in this case settles all controversy as -to the right of City Auditor Barbur and . the City Commission to make the re ' quired expenditures for the election in Portland. - Mayor Albee said he was well satis- Tied and was glad that the election was to be held. "The recall agitation against the present administration." said the Mayor, "Btarted when we took office in July, IS 13. It has been kept up ever since. It has done the city a great deal of harm and I am extremely glad that wo are to have an election to settle the question. I believe the rebuke the voters will administer to the recall agi tators who have disturbed the city for nearly a year and a half will put the quietus on the recall for a while. DiaaTuntled Fenom Blamed. "Personally I believe in the recall when it is used rightly. It is not, how ever, intended for use as a weapon with which dissatisfied office-seekers might eek revenge. It is intended for use in case of malfeasance in office or gross incompetence. These things are not involved in the present recall. The rea son the recall has been brought on is because certain individuals and cer tain interests have not received at my hands and the hands of the other Com missioners the favors which they de sired. -"I have conducted my office on a non political basis. That does not meet the approval of certain interests, naturally. They do not want honesty in office Therefore the present recall." PRACTICAL nurse can fanage home and - Commisisoners Dieck and Brewster expressed satisfaction over the outcome of the recall case, both saying the recallers would be defeated overwhelm ingly, and that such an outcome will put an end to recall disturbances. City Not Involved In Cane. City Attorney LaRoche declared that the only part the city played in the Supreme Court case was to ask for an early decision of the Columbia County case. The officials here were notified by George Mason, of the Non-Partisan League, that if expenditures were made for a recall election in Portland while the Supreme Court case was pending .the individual officials would be held responsible for the expenditures if the . recall was held to be void. City Attor ney LaRoche appeared in the case only to ask an early decision that the Port land election could be held as sched uled if the recall should be considered valid. In the election Mayor Albee will be opposed by B. K. Kennedy, a real estate operator, and Eugene E. Smith, busi ness agent of Electrical Workers' Union, No. 48. Commisioner Dieck will be opposed by H. E. Abry, an engineer, and George Parrish. a physi cian. Commissioner Brewster will be .opposed by W. A. Leet, an attorney. Officials Not to Campaign. No campaign will be conducted by Mayor Albee or Commisisoners Dieck and Brewster. All three officials said yesterday they believe their work of the past year r.nd a half speaks for itself, and that no campaigning will be necessary. The recall candidates started their campaign yesterday. Cards were put out and arrangements made for various forms of publicity for the platforms and slogans they have arranged. The recall candidates probably will hold a series of street meetings and assemblages in nails about the city to expound their promises and platforms. Although no arrangements of the kind have been made by the officials now In office they may speak at meetings If invited. At a meeting of the City Commission yesterday Commissioner Daly was up held in a plan to send with the water hills this month notices of the water measure which is to appear on the ballot. The notice will set forth ths provisions of the water measure in brief and ask all waterusers to vote on the question. "Water Measure Triple. The measure provides for the assess ment of water rental charges against premises instead of against occupants of premises, as at present; provides for the collection of water rental quar terly net in advance instead of monthly in advance, as at present, and fixes the minimum for water rental at 50 cents a month. It is said the fixing of the minimum at 50 cents a month will make very little chance in the rates. The mini mum rate at present is 50 cents a . month on all service excepting me tered services. For meters the proposed minimum would not reduce bills unless the water used did not exceed 50 cents worth. At present the minimum for metered service is 75 cents. The measure would cause no reduction in flat rates. The ballot title to the water measure reads: "An ordinance providing for collecting household water rates quar terly (not in advance), making rates chargeable to premises served, refund ing all deposits and prepayments and establishing a minimum of 50 cents per month for water." ADVOCATE SEES VICTORY Ii. C. 'Sheldon Says Normal School Measures Will Pass. That the people of Oregon will re store the three-normal school system November 3 is the opinion of Benja min C. Sheldon, of Medford, expressed at the Perkins Hotel, where he was stopping, yesterday. In his work in behalf of the normal school measures Mr. Sheldon has gone all over the state, and everywhere, he pays, he has received an interested and respectful hearing. Mr. Sheldon argues that the normal school is not an institution of higher education, but in purpose and Influ ence has to do directly with the rudi mentary schools. "Normal schools are a fundamental part of our common school system, and regulate its efficiency," said Mr. Shel don. "Oregon spends $5,250,000 annually on her common schools, and competent teachers should be provided in Oregon to have charge of expenditure of this vast sum." RECALL iW RUSHED Supreme Court Decision Sends Election Work Ahead. CITY HALL IS BUSY PLACE Auditor liarbur and Assistants Are Compelled to Ijabor Overtime in Getting Election Supplies in Shape for Voters. As soon as word of the decision of the Supreme Court in the recall legal ity case was heard yesterday City Auditor Barbur put all his force to work on arrangements. The entire force was required to work the full day in spite of the fact that the City Hall closed at noon as usual on Sat urdays. A force of stenographers and clerks were put to work getting out election notices and notices to judges and clerks while others were taking the ballot boxes from the vaults, cleaning them out and preparing them for the election. One man cared for the wrap ping of the supplies while others pasted the proper notices on the boxes. Before 5 o'clock the day's work had been finished. At that time .3516 letters to judges and clerks were .dropped into the mail. There are 293 precincts to be covered by the election. : There are 12 election officials for each precinct, six on the day board and six on the night board. A letter containing two election notices and a letter notifying the clerk or Judge of his appointment was mailed to each judge and clerk. There were 3516 letters in all and each contained three different notices, making a total of 10.548 notices in all. Men will be put to work tomorrow, posting the election notices throughout the city. This will take two or three days. Sample recall ballots have gone to the printer on rush order and will be delivered at the City Hall tomor row. Owing to the fact that there was considerable doubt as to the outcome of the recall case In the Supreme Court involving the legality of the law, as many of the expensive arrangements as possible were held off. Details were so made, however, that it will be pos sible to complete all arrangements in ample time for the election. The election will cost about $25,000. One of the principal expenses will be the hiring of judges and clerks. There are 12 election officials to each pre cinct, each of whom will receive $3 for the day. Each of the members of the day board will receive $1 ad ditional for lunch. The members of the night board will receive pay for meals It the work of decking up the ballots is not completed by midnight. This means that the Judges and clerks will cost the city at least $12,306 and, it meals are required by the night board, there will be an additional $879. Xew York Slisslonary Speaks. Herman Swartz, secretary of the Na tional Home Missionary Society, of New lorn, was guest of the Portland Congregational Club Friday night at a banquet given at the Atkinson Memorial Congregational Church, East Couch and East Twenty-ninth streets. Dr. Swartz delivered an address on "The Co-operation of Churches." F. G. Smith, of the First Congregational Church, presided. Representatives of nearly &U city and suburban Congregational churches were present. Boy's Arms Fractured by Fall. Alfred 'Winter, the 13-year-old son of Attorney J. P. winter, sustained a fracture to each arm early yesterday, when he fell from a tree near his home. 826 East Washington street, while play ing with other children.

Goodwin, Soon at Heilig, Says, "Best Way to Manage 'Em Is to Let 'Em Alone;" "Anyway, Yon Don't Pick 'Em; They Pick Yon." NAT C. GOODWIN', variously re ferred to as the "Bad Boy of Mat rimony" and "Love's Prime Min ister," will be the attraction at the Hei lig Theater October 29, SO and 81, in his three-act farcical comedy, "Never Say Die." The title of the play does not refer to Mr. Goodwin's future in tentions In the marriage market. "It's no crime trying to establish a home," Mr. Goodwin complained recent ly when he was asked to say a little something about the matrimonial ven tures. "Anyway, you don't pick a wife, if that's what you want to talk to me about. They pick you. At least that's what generally happened to me." Mr. Goodwin grunted, inelegantly when asked the best way to manage a woman. "The best way to manage 'em. Jf you ask me," he growled, "is to let 'em alone." The talk drifted around to the' matter of age, and Mr. Goodwin said he wasn't 58 years old, as reported. As a matter of -fact, he said he is hardly 57. "And that isn't old," he argued. "Just look at John Drew. He is six years older than I am. Crane Is ten, and Forbes-Robertson seven. I guess I am good for eight or ten years more before 1 retire. And I want another fortune before I quit." Recalled to the subject of marriage, Mr. Goodwin said he had nothing "un kind to 6ay about the women" who had borne his name. "It is true that I married Maxine El liott out of a stock company and that when she left me she owned a theater, but I'm not saying anything against her," he said. "If I have anyone to blame for mistakes, I blame myself. You've got to take a chance when you get married. It's a matter of selection. If it comes right, you win. If it don't, you don't! "Marriages are not all alike, any more than faces are all alike," he add ed. "No man can offer anybody else any advice. The only way to find out is to make a try.

Mr. Goodwin said he and Miss More land were married in Los Angeles over a year ago, and he denies the rumor that he had saved her lite. "I was thrown out of a boat because the man who was rowing it didn't know how to handle it in the surf," he said "Miss Moreland was in another boat entirely "til h ' I i s 1 & y r i t if - . - I III V68 i -' 'Jr J SALEM. Or.. Oct. 17. (Special.) The recall election in Portland tor the Mavoraltv and two Commissioners was authorized legally, according to a de cision of the Supreme Court today in the case of the state In relation of Andrew I Clark asralnst W. A. Har ris. County Judge of Columbia County. It is held that the provision or ine constitution (seation 18, article 2) re latins to the recall is self-executing and offers a complete method of pro cedure. At a recent recall election Judge Harris was defeated for County Judge by Mr. ClarK. ine juage De clined to vacate the office on the ground that the procedure had not been according to law and the election was illegal. Mr. Clark instituted quo war ranto proceedings In the Supreme Court, and the decision is in his favor. Members of the Board of County Com missioners, who were recalled at the same election, also will have to vacate their offices. Other Caae Separate. The court will render a separate opinion in the case of Glenn R. Metx- ger. who defeated W. ts. Ulnar a, jjis trict Attorney of Columbia County, at the same election. It was contended by Mr. Dillard that the office of Dis trict Attorney is a state ornce. ana that the election was illegal because t was called by county authorities when the law provides that recall elec tions for state offices must be called by the Secretary of State. Justice Ramsey, who wrote the opinion, says the constitution is suffi ciently specific as to the percentage of electors required on petitions for a recall: that it does not confer power upon the legislative Assembly to pro vide for the recalling o oflicers ana not a mere declaration of principles to be made operative by the Legisla ture. The court holds that every of ficer is subject, under the amendment, to recall, t s the amendment provides and not as the law-making department may provide. Recall Clansea Absolute. The court further says: "Nothing whatever is omitted that is necessary to effect the recall. Its provisions are absolute, not conditional. Its terms indicate an intention that it shall be operative as soon as it shall be adopted by the people. There is nothing to be done by the Legislature to put it Into operation. It is clear from the terms of the section that its framers and the electors who adopted it did not intend that it should be in abeyance until the law-making power should pass some act in its aid. If they had intended to confer power on the Legislature for a recall of pub lic officers, they could have done so in a few words, and it would not have been necessary- to use BOO words In conferring this power. It is evident from the wording of this section that its framers and the electors who adopted it desired to make It effective immediately." Seetlon Provides for Cost. The court says that the clause which provides for additional legislation as an aid in the operation of the section relates to the payment by the public treasury of special election campaign expenses, and is a direction to the Legislature to pass such an act. Bearing in mind," continues tne opinion, "that this section provides a complete method of procedure lor el' fectlng a recall, and that its language Indicates an Intention that It should be operative immediately, we hold that it is self-executing as to all Its provisions except the clause that requires the Legislature to pass an act providing for the payment of a reasonable special election campaign expenses of the offi cer subject to recall. -As to the latter provision it is novr self -executing, but the failure of the Legislature ta pass such an act does not prevent the en forcement of the provisions for the re call. People's latent Interpreted. "To hold that the failure of the law making department to enact a law re quiring the payment of the reasonable campaign expenses of the onicer bud jected to the recall out of the treasury operates as a suspension oi tne ngnt to recall a public officer, would, in our judgment, defeat the intention of the electors who adopted said section is. We believe that their Intention was that the right to recall a public officer should exist as soon as said constitu tional provision took effect. "It is hardly necessary for us to say that we have nothing to do with the wisdom of the provision for the recall. Obviously it can be abused. All members of the court concurred in the opinion. XEW OFFICIALS TAKE REIN'S Recalled Columbia County Court Is Replaced by Victors.'. ST. HELEN'S, Or., Oct. 1". (Special.) Columbia County's new court already has been sworn in and will take office Monday. By written stipulation the old court, now recalled and the court elect had agreed to abide by the decision of the Supreme Court. The recall followed a split in the county over the dlsposi tion of road funds. Members of the old court say they gladly step down and bow to the will of the people. The recall of the County Attorney has not been decided by the Supreme Court. RECEIVERSHIP IS ASKED Stockholder of American Life Jt Ac cident Company Petitioner. A receiver is asked for the American Life & Accident Insurance Company in a suit brought yesterday by F. E. Pow ell, a stockholder, who alleges a deal has been made whereby the assets of the concern are to be turned over to the First National Life Insurance Com pany, a corporation of the State of Washington, and stockholders are charging that fraud occurred in the transaction and are now threatening to bring suit against the American company. It is alleged that if these threats are carried out the company will bo made Insolvent and while at present there are assets to the value of $15,009 in this state, these will be dissipated if these suits are brought.
