Royalty to President Wilson at
Baltimore Convention Uecalled
When Ten Steadfast Votes
Are Swung Into Line.
Vf North Dakota alone had to elect
the President of the United States, the
I'residenf at the present time would
bo John Burke, ex-GoVernor of North
Dakota, Treasurer of the United States
and brother of Judge Thomas G. Burke.
Collector of Customs in Portland,
hora he now Is visiting.
"Pshaw! No,- I never Intended to
run for President," parried John Burke
when some one asked him yesterday
about his indorsement for the office
by the Democrats of North Dakota.
"But you had North Dakota's 10
votes at the Baltimore convention,"
he was reminded.
"Yes, I know, but I was in no way a
candidate."
"But suppose, when the deadlock
between Champ Clark and Woodrow
Wilson occurred, other delegates would
have voted for you "
"Oh. well, now," he interposed, "If
you are going to hypothecate a case "
'In that event," suggested his
brother, the judge, "you would have
to use the language of other statesmen
who are not candidates, 'No good citi
zen should refuse the nomination for
President.' "
Strength Swung; to Wilson.
While John Burke didn't exactly re
fuse the nomination, he fixed it so that
the nomination could not be offered to
him. He went to the Baltimore con
vention in 1912 with his 10 delegates,
all of whom insisted upon voting; for
him "first, last and all the time."
But before the balloting started
John Burke asked the North Dakota
delegates to cast their 10 votes for
Woodrow Wilson. They protested, but
ne insisted.
"You can do me more Rood that
way," he pleaded, "than by voting
tor me."
And on the first ballot and on each
subsequent ballot North Dakota's 10
votes went to Woodrow Wilson.
It wasn't surprising then that soon
after Mr. Wilson became President
John Burke should be appointed to the
lucrative and responsible position of
Treasurer of the United States.
Yes, "responsible" is right. When
Sir. Burke took office he signed a re
ceipt to Carml A. Thompson, his -predecessor,
for $1,500,000,000 in coin,
currency and Government bonds. It
wasn't in round numbers like that, but
ran out in odd cents. Mr. Burke didn't
remember yesterday Just how much it
was exactly. A few trifling odd mill
Ions didn't make much difference, any
way. Treasury Balance Growing.
That was more' than two years ago
when he - signed that receipt. Since
then the size of his responsibility has
been fluctuating a great deal. It is
growing bigger now every day. And
this Is the significant part of his dis
cussion yesterday corning the details
of his Job:
"We are getting, at the sub-treasury
in New York, an average of J2.6UO.000
in gold every week from Kurope, rep
resenting the trade balance in favor
of the United States.
"This means that we are shipping
$2,500,000 more goods to Europe every
week than Europe is sending in to us.
That kind of a situation soon Is bound
to make itself felt upon the country
as a. whole. It means Just that much
more business each week and puts
Just that much more money into cir
culation." The gold that comes Into Kew York
in payment oi inese trade balances
most of it is in the shape of bars
which are deposited in the sub-treasury
vaults. Gold certificates are then
Issued against them.
The Government doesn't keen all its
gold, in one place, either, explains Mr.
Burke. The gold bars which are used
as a medium of adjusting trade bal
ances are kept in Washington or In
New York, where they are handy for
shipment to Europe.
Gold Cola Kept in West.
But so far as the real gold coins
the kind that are used in ordinary cir
culation are concerned, they are kept
In greater quantity in the United
States mints in San Francisco and in
Denver than in the East. People In
the West prefer to do business with
gold, while the East prefers paper
money. That's the reason they keep
most of the sold coins in the West
ern vaults.
Mr: Burke's official presence on the
Pacific Coast right now is accounted
for by the fact that the sub-treasury
recently moved into a. new building
and he went there to see that they
didn't lose any small change in trans
fering the money. He has a crew of
experts at work now counting over the
cash.
At noon yesterday he was the guest
of honor at an informal luncheon at
the Chamber of Commerce. Those
present were: John Burke. Dr. R. C.
Coffey, Edgar B. Piper, Milton A, Mil
ler, C. A. Johns, J. W. Brewer, John
l. Pipes, N. U. Carpenter, Thomas C.
Burke.. T. A- Burke. J. N. T&al, O. M.
Clark and Frank S. Myers. Last even
ing Colonel C. E. S. Wood entertained
Air. Burke at the Arlington Club.
Mr. Burke will leave here tonight
ior r argo, is. u., to attend the "Gov.
ernors' day" celebration next Wednes
day. All the former Governors and
the present Governor of North Dakota
have been invited. -.His home is at
Devils Lake, and he intends to re
turn there when he finishes official
life at Washington.
Moon and Scenery Charm
Auto Party Into Chuckhole.
Chauffeur Regains Solid Road, Thea
WaitM Until Daylight to Discover
Turning Place Just Behind.
I
T was such a nice, smooth road.
the moon was so bright and the
scenery all around was so delightful.
So the chauffeur Just wheeled to the
right and the motor car chugged faith
fully up the long, steep hill.
Up and up It went until it was on
the crest or a young mountain, may
be 2000 feet above the Columbia River,
below Linnton, and overlooking the
City of Portland.
As near as they could Judge, they
were about 20 miles from Portland,
and the view was, "oh, bo delightful."
So they told the chauffeur to go
-Just a little bit farther." He went
on and on, until
Kerplunk! The auto plunged brutally
into four feet of thick, sticky yellow
mud.
They had been fixing the road there-

about and the mud deposit marked
the place where the fixing had started.
They all could see that. But how to
get the car back out onto the un
fixed part that was the problem.
There were only two men in the
party Edward Holman, who owned the
car, and the chauffeur. The mud was
so thick that they couldn't use a
Jack. Search far and wide could pro
duce no plank or pole. They didn't
have a block and tackle.
Maybe the women could help. Of
women there were Mrs. Holman, Dr.
Clara I. Darr and Dr. Margaret N.
Quigley. But the men didn't want to
ask the worpen. It wouldn't be very
gallant. So finally they did manage to
get a pole and a board and pry the
car loose.
Worse troubles. Once more on dry
land, they found the road too narrow
to turn the car around. The moon
had ceased doing business, and only
IRVINGTON PARK, AFTER
YEARS, IS IDEAL REALIZED
-Addison Bennett, Recalling Prediction Majje for Forest-Covered District,
Describes Impressions of Visit to Now High-Class Community.
Or..,?
BY ADDISOU BENNETT.
RVINQTOX PARK la situated in the
extreme northeastern portion of
Portland, the site being as beautiful
I
as that occupied by. any of Portland's
suburbs. It is with great pleasure that
I often visit the place and am now
able to write about it, for the reason?
that I was the first person to write
about it when the tract was placed
upon the market in the early Spring of
1891.
A few months before that it was a
forest, covered with great trees, not a
square rod of open land in the entire
tract. I then pictured it as it would
be in the future, practically as it is
now. One grave error was made, as
was the case with many of us who
wrote in those days the results were
long in coming.
But today Irvington Park is one of
Portland's finest suburbs and is occu
pied by about as fine a class of people
as can be found in any suburban com
munity in the West. Its average of
beauteous homes is large, which was
assured from the beginning, for every
lot was sold and every deed issued
with a restrictive clause preventing the
erection of shanties. So there is no
better-housed community than at Irv
ington Park in any of our suburbs.
Visit la 3Iade at Dance.
I had the great good fortune to make
several trips out there during the last
week, both by automobile and by
streetcar. The A. or Alblna, cars run
up Second street, across the O.-W. R. &
N. bridge, over to Union avenue, out
that avenue to Alberta street, thence out
to East Thirtieth street North through
the center of Irvington Park, the route
taking yo through a paved street aUbout 40 couples upon tho floor, wbll
-As'
the glare from the headlt&ht illumined
their path.
Presently from the east a great light
descended and spread all about. It re
vealed a place. Just a few yards back,
where they could turn around.
So in the dim hours of early morn
ing they rode triumphantly, albeit de
jectedly, to an early breakfast and bed.
Judge Morrpw III in San Diego.
News was received yesterday after
noon by City Auditor Barbur that
Judge Robert S. Morrow is ill in a hos
pital in San Diego. The telegram that
brought the news did not state what
the nature or exfent of the illness is,
but it is known that he is under the
care of a physician and trained nuru.
Judge Morrow went as a delegate to
the Moose convention being neld in San"
Diego, and has been in California more
than a week.

seated around were perhaps. 200 happy
people, of all ages from the we Infant
to the aged men and women.
A dozen or mora automobiles waited
on the adjacent streets; in some of
them passengers were reclining and
listening to the mus'c and the glad
voices of the dancers ar.i the audience.
It was a lovely Summer night with Just
breath enough In the air to soften the
heat and in tha heavens, overlooking
and apparently iJa.rdlng all. a full
moon looked down upon tho happy
scene, which was really a picture tak
en from some story of a fairy land.
Faadi for w Club Site Saonbt.
I found that tha platform had been
erected by tha Irvington Park Com
munity Club upon lots owned by that
club, tho site being 100 by 100 and
..nh.hiv tha finest corner in the en
tire addition. The dance was being
given by the clubs, and one is planned
for practically each Tuesday and Fri
day nigh throughout the Summer.
By these dances tho club hopes soon
to get money enough to cover the site
with a line clubhouse and they will
do it. They started out only a little
more than a year ago, and from the
beginning the people of the community
have stood solidly behind their chosen
officers as one. By the way. it is only
proper to give the names of the ladles
and gentlemen who are responsible, for
the conduct of the club this year.
Here Is the list: C. E. Cowdlng.
president; H. M. Blgelow. vice-president;
Harry Cummings, secretary:
Frank Waddell, treasurer, and the fol
lowing, added to the above, constitute
the directors: F. E. Schwan. E. M.
Baker. M. X. Fitzgerald. E. O. Rauh
and W. L Marshall.
Much of the work of management
falls to the entertainment committee,
which consists of .Mrs. Edith Schwan.
Mrs. Jessie Joy and Ell Slmonson and
X. C. Eddy. As chairman of thla-committee
Mrs. Schwan haa labored dili
gently' and Intelligently for the benefit
of the club, but she generally gives
the major portion of the credit for the
success that has attended their efforts
to Mrs. Joy and the two mera men
Mr. Simonson and Mr. Eddy.
Community Spirit la Loyal.
But that statement really gives the
ruling and dominating object of the
club to upbuild a community spirit, a
loyal spirit for their "home town." so
to speak. In talking over the work
of the crub I found It had revolution
ized the society of the section. Now
all are acquainted, all have one com
mon object the upbuilding of their
part of the city. There never was a
Uner feeling In a community than now
exists in Irvington Park and their
community club has dona it and its
wnrk will sro on benefiting one and all
and bringing them closer and closer to
gether. .
It may be that results are being ac
compliKlied there that could not be
reached in a less Intelligent community,
in a place where the average standing
is not so high. For it must bo con
that irvington Park has been
successful In bringing together a com
munity that each ono must ba proud
of.
But none of them knew it until they
had this club established and In run
ning order. Then they began, to rub
shoulders, exchange Ideas, get ac
quainted now it is one for all and all
for one when It comes to anything to
better their community with tho Irv
ington Park people.
Why Is it that every section of our
city does not have a sectional club, a
community cluo like this? Of course,
some of them have, thickly-settled por
tions lik Irvington. with its cele
brated Irvington Club. But communi
ties of six or seven hundred people,
like Irvington Park, have Just as great
need and can do Just an much for their
community. Go out thejr and learn
mors about It.

HIGH TRIBUTES PAIO
Life and Services of Late
Thomas 0'Day Eulogized.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
departed Judge Is Described as
"Faithful to Trusts, llevoted
to Kricnds, Patriotic to Coun
try, fsefnl to Profession."
Resolutions and eulogies on the life
of Thomas ODay, ex-Circuit Judge,
who died last March, were heard in the
courtroom or Circuit Judge Davis yes
terday morning. Many attorneys and
Judges who had known Jud.i O'Day
Intimately during his life and who had
been associated with him In legal prac
tice attended the meeting, and a num
ber of them addressed tho court.
"Faithful to his trusts, devoted to his
friends, patriotic to his country and
useful to his profession are terms in
which the resolution describes the late
Judge O'Day.
" The resolution says In part:
"Thomas O'Day, for 21 years a rep
resentative of the bar of Portland, two
years of which time were spent upon
the bench of the Circuit- Court, was
born in Connecticut. July 4, 1852. His
parents were. Daniel and Catherine
(Welch) O'Day. His education was ac
quired In the public schools of Illi
nois, where his parents removed when
he was an Infant, and was supplement
ed by a course in law at the State
University of Iowa, from which he was
graduated in June. 1877. Thus quail
fled for practice, he opened an office
in Bedford, la., and In 1S79 removed
tONellgh, Neb., continuing in active
connection with tha bar at that place
for ten years, or until his removal to
Portland In 16S9. In 1882 he was
married to Agnes Earl?. During 1887
he waa nominated by the Democrats for
Justice of the Supreme Court of Ne
braska. He was appointed to the bench
In Multnomah County In August. 107,
and served thereon until January, H0S.
Oreat ftympsthr I.audrd.
"To those of the bench and bar who
had the privilege of Jndge O'Day's
friendship it would be difficult to find
words fit adequately to portray . his
many fine qualities of mind, heart and
character. These flualitles were inher
ent In him, and his profession was but
another field wherein they were made
most manifest to his brethren of the
bar. His most notable characteristic
was his tender sympathy for every
form of human distress. This sympathy
he did not waste in fruitless emotion,
but translated It daily into helpful and
sacrificing assistance and effort In bo
half of tho distressed, the friendless or
unfortunate. Indeed, he lived strictly
in to the duty, enjolnti by the statute
law of the state, nue? to reject for
any personal consideration tha cause
of tho defenseless or tho oppressed.
"Ho had a keen senna of Justice,
which gave to his Judicial utterances
on tho bench and to his advocacy at the
bar a distinct and admlrsble character.
No small part of his success as an ad
vocate at tho bar wao c"ue to his ability
to Impart to tho court and Jury some
thing oS his own inspiration for Jus
tice In the causes ho undertook."
Martin I Pipes. aWo an ox-Clrcult
Judge, spoke of his Intimate relations
with Judge O'Day during tho number
of years of their association together
at the bar. His sympathetic disposi
tion, said Mr. Pipes, wsa Judge O'Day's
leading characteristic

D. Colls Cohen said his remarks
would be echoes of opinions expressed
to him bv Judge O'Day.

Justice should ba subject to a more
rigid examination and a severer test
as to righteousness of life than that of
any other human being."
"I know of no one," said Charles J-Schnabt-1,
"who la more entitled to the
sobriquet of "the grear Commoner of
Oregon.' An uncompromising believer
and advocate of tho rights of the plain
people, a respecter of their Judgment,
he lent his talents and force to the
defense of the Jury system and never
wasted time or opportunity to make
more sacred that splendid heritage of
our Anglo-Saxon forefathers."
"Tho sufferings of his fellow man
ever appealed to him." said "Samuel
White. "He abhorred injustice and re
sented It with righteous Indignation at
all times. His sense of Justice was so
keen that ho was eminently tilted for
a Judicial position."
Many others followed, with remarks
of similar nature. Among them were:
W. W. Cotton. J. B. Kerr. J. W. Had
dock. Alexander Bernstein and Judge
Oeorge N. Davis.
