GtVIG LEAGUE FIRM
OVER RURALGRED1TS
Launching of Two or Three
Bills at Initiative Elec
tion Opposed, However.
BOND INTEREST IS ISSUE
Hiomling of Funds at Kate Higher
Than Interest on Bonds Advocat
ed Co-operation Is Vrged,
but Action Is Delayed.
"Whether the Civic League, after hav
ing drafted a rural credits bill, will
be willing to compromise with other
organizations in a movement to pre
vent the launching of two or three
bills on the same subject In the initia
tive election, is the question that de
veloped at the meeting on rural cred
its at the office of F. S. Myers yes
terday. Frankly, Mr. Myers, who is the father
of the Civic League measure, did not
bold out much prospect of the Civic
League being willing to brook any
changes In the draft it had prepared.
He Intimated that if the efforts to
, merge the pending measure should tend
to eliminate any of the salient leatures
of his own measure, the league prob
ably would go into the field alone with
its bill against all the others.
Only One Ifurt Wanted.
This intimation from Mr. Myers came
after the adoption of a motion by the
meeting, recommending that the en
deavor be made to keep more than one
measure from being put on the bal
lot, and that the Civic League and
Xlealty Board be urged to co-operate
with the committee from the state con
ference on rural credits in this aim.
The personnel of the meeting involved
representatives from the Civic League,
Xtealty Board. Chamber of Commerce
and the committee from the state con
ference. "If that motion implies that the Civic
League is bound to abide by the de
cision of such a joint conference. It vir
tually wipes the league off the map,"
said Mr. Myers, "and we have done too
much work on this matter to be willing
to be wiped off the map."
Interest Per Cent J One iMKue.
The fundamental points of difference
In the two measures discussed yester
day are that Mr. Myers' bill provides
for the lending of the funds from sale
of rural credit bonds at a higher per
cent than the Interest on the bonds, and
provides that the difference between
the rate charged the farmer and the
' rate charged the state shall be paid
lntp the school fund.
Mr. Myers' bill has no provision on
the other hand for the amortization of
the rural credit loans.
The amortization provision is em
bodied in the measure proposed by the
state conference committee, while the
supporters of this bill are strongly op
posed to the Myers idea of making the
loan a means of profit to the state to
be turned into the school fund. They
hold that a rural credit measure should
provide that the benefits go aa much as
possible to the farmer and that he
should get his money at the lowest rate
possible.
' iKMue Divides Committee.
On this point especially the commit
tee split from Mr. Myers, and, although
the motion for a conference to" merge
' the various bills was passed, the meet
ing closed with each side practically
taking the position that the other side
must yield unconditionally on its fa
vorite points, or there could be no com
promise. "If we refuse to stand for your plan
of selling the bonds at 4 per cent and
lending the money at G per cent and
turning the earnings into the school
fund, what will be the result?" Mr. C.
K. Spence, of the State Grange, asked
Mr. Myers.
"I think that we'd go right aheaI
with the measure we have as it stands,"
retorted Mr. Myers. ,
"But we are unalterably opposed to a
provision which puts the state in a
position of profiting from a rural credit
system intended to help the farmer,
and which instead puts a burden of
millions for the school fund upon him,"
said Professor Hector McPherson, of
Oregon Agricultural College.
; Co-operation Hope Expressed.
ilil cue puKiLiuiis ul me various
sides thus outlined, the meeting ad
journed on its motion to try to get to
gether and co-operate. Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow afternoon,
after the close of the luncheon of the
members' council of the Chamber of
Commerce, to investigate further the
possibility of eliminating the multipli
cation of rural credit measures on the
ballot.
At the meeting yesterday the follow
ing were present: F. S. Myers, C. C.
Chapman, H. G. Beckwith, O. C. Leiter,
J. 1. Brown, C. K. Spence, Hector Mc
Pherson, A. C. Newill. C. Oehler, David

STRAW VOTE SHOWS TREND
(Continued From First Paste.)
and Mr. Roosevelt, having refused to
permit their names to go on the ballot,
had thereby definitely and finally given
notice that they would not accept the
nomination. At the same time, by far
the greater number of women who
voted for Mr. Wilson seemed to have
their minds well made up.
The division among the men, on the
other hand, was more along the old
lines. It was possible to gain a very
good insight into the mind of the male
voter by comparison of the 1912 vote
with the preference for 1916. As wom
en in Oregon did not have the ballot
in 1912, virtually all the votes which
enumerated the 1912 candidate voted
for were cast by men.
Changes About Equal,
i ' Analysis of these votes seemed to
, Indicate that such changes as have oe
j curred in the political convictions of
' mpn vntf.ru inp. 1 ft 1 hni'p in- ahmit
equalized each other, with a slight
balance in the Republican favor.
For example: Of 212 who voted for
Taft in 1912, 170 named Hughes as
their 191S preference. 24 favored
Koosevelt, and 12 were for Wilson. Of
the other six, one was for Bryan, and
the others were scattered among other
Republican possibilities. Republican
, loss, 13 votes.
More than equalizing these 13 votes
were 36 votes for Hughes by men who
voted fpr Wilson in 1912.
And as against 23 Roosevelt adher
ents in 1912 who named Wilson as
their 1916 preference, exactly the same
number of voters who in 1912 were
for Wilson, 23 named Roosevelt as
their 1916 choice.
Heuublican Trend Shown.
iA fact worthy of attention is that
mpst of the defections from the Roose
velt vote in 1912 were to Hughes or
tome other Republican possibility
rather than to Wilson. The proportion
of these votes going Republican was
-15, to 23 for Wilson. Of the 45 Re
publican votes, oo were for Hughes.
But from a Republican viewpoint,
the most important thing demonstrated
fei this straw yptQ la that Uiq body, of
Republican voters put emphasis on
Hughes and Roosevelt as the men be
tween whom the nomination for Presi
dent lies. The host of "favorite eons"
have made little impression on Oregon
Republican voters, who see only the
stalwart figures of Hughes and Roose
velt for the leadership in 1916.
To the 468 votes for Hughes, and
S29 for Roosevelt, compare the vote
for the next high man among the pos
sibilities Root, with 19 votes. Next
to him is La Follette. with 11; Cum
mins, with 10: then Burton and Taft,
with 8 votes each.
Vote Is Representative.
As nearly as any straw vote can be
representative, the one conducted by
The Oregonian is representative of the
present state of mind, politically speak
ing, of Oregon voters. The vote was
purposely taken in the registration
headquarters so as to get the views of
as nearly representative a proportion of
members of all parties and faiths as
ordinarily are to be found together.
The count was made with great care.
The vote was canvassed by a com
mittee composed of T. B. Neuhausen.

administration to a qlose.
Mr. McDonald has been elected
as delegate from the Portland

1022 JOBS FOUND
Public Employment Bureau Re
ports for March.
WAGE ADVANCE IS NOTED
Unusual Demand for Laborers of All
Classes In Portland District
Is Keported by Director
X. P. Jolinson.
More than .1000 men were placed in
jobs by the public employment bureau.
Fourteenth and Johnson streets, during
the month of March. To be exact, 032
received employment.
Many of these men were sent .out of
Portland on railroad, lumber mill and
logging camp work. There were also
many calls for laborers and mechnica
from contractors and builders in Port
land during, the past two weeks. N. F.
Johnson, director of the employment
bureau, reports:
"There is an unusual large demand
for all kinds of laborers, and conditions
in Portland from this standpoint are
much better now than they have been
for many months. We are experiencing
some trouble in filling all orders for
out-of-town workers.
Rate of Pay Is Advanced.
"The rate of pay for unskilled labor
has been advanced several times in the
past ten days. Beginning at J1.2S per
day, it has gone up to $2.23 -and in some
cases to 12.75. Logging camp and
mill workers are in demand at'from
11.75 to $5 per day.
"There has also been a decided
change amongthe unemployed men in
mechanical and clerical lines. We have
sent many mn to high-class jobs. All
lines are improving and the men are
looking forward to a prosperous season.
"There are, however, many cases of
unemployment among a class of mar
ried men who, because of home ties and
physical inability to do hard labor, can
not command work in the camps or on
the railroads.
Jobs for 263 Women found.
"These cases are being handled as
rapidly as possible on the jobs to be
had in the city. Lawn work, garden
ing, house-cleaning and kindred lines
are being sought for these men.
"There Is also urgent need yet for
day work for women. At least a hun
dred registrations were received the
past week from women who are badly
in need of such employment.
"The women's department of the em
ployment bureau plaoed 163 women
during March."
$10,000 SUIT RENEWED
WILL E. PURD1' COXTl.MES FIGHT
AGAIXST WIXTKRS ESTATE.
Wholesale Conspiracy by Judge and
Attorneys to Deprive Him of
Property Charged.
Defeat in the $100,000 suit brought
against the H. D. Winters estate has
not discouraged Will E. Purdy. ex
candidate for Gubernatorial nomina
tion, for yesterday he filed another
suit in the Circuit Court for the re
covery of the valuable property
assigned to him by a deed the courts
have branded a forgery.
Wholesale conspiracy to which Cir
cuit'Judge McGinn and Attorneys Johp
Manning, Loyal H. McCarthy and C. M.
Idleman were parties, is alleged in the
sweeping complaint filed by Purdy.
who intends to fight his case without
an attorney. As a result of "the
machinations of the court and attor
neys," his own included, Purdy says
he was "robbed of his right to the
Grand-avenue block left him by Mr.
Winters."
The plaintiff prays for a restraining
order forbidding disposition of the
property, pending the issue now raised.
Purdy received the deed to five lots
in East Portland, he has contended.
May 1, 1909. for which he gave in part
consideration a promissory note for
$11,300. The deed was given, so Purdy
has maintained, under a secret agree
ment that it was not to be recorded
until after the death of Mr. Winters.
August 23, 1911, Agnes Butts (now
Agnes Hecker), as administratrix of
the Winters estate, attacked the val
idity of the deed. Judge McGinn held
it to be a forgery, and in 1912 jthe
Supreme Court upheld his decision on
appeal. On March 5, 1914, Purdy filed
suit for $100,000 damags, alleging that
he had been swindled out of the prop
erty. A demurrer to this suit was
sustained by Judge McGinn March 22,
1915. and an appeal to the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision of Judge
McGinn.
0.-W. R. & N. TO GIVES RISES
Increases for Conductors and Brake
men Causes Schedule Change.
Officials of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. are
arranging to put into effect within the
next few weeks a new wage schedule
that will provide slight increases in
wages for conductors and brakemen
employed in the freight service on
various parts of the system.
Agreements between officials of the
company and representatives of the
conductors' and brakemen's unions,
were reached a few days ago and all
that remains now to make the agree
ments effective i3 to put them Into
formal application.
It is estimated that the advance In
wages will benefit, the men to the
extent of approximately $50,000 a
year.
In return for this concession in wages
the men have re-arranged their hauling
schedules with the company so that
the railroad will be enabled to utilize
their new high-powered engines to the
fullest capacity.

$5000 SUIT RETRIAL WON
Judge Morrow Admits His Error In
Alder Hotel Action.
Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday ad
mitted error in instructing the jury in
the suit of Beatrice Williams against
the Alder Hotel Company and S. E. Mc
Dougal last month and granted the de
fendants a new trial. A jury awarded
Miss Williams $500 damages in the
former trial. She asked $5000 for un
lawful imprisonment in lieu of rent.
The technical ground on which the
motion for a new trial was granted
was the failure of Judge Morrow to In
struct the jury as to the necessity of
the agent in charge of the hotel prop
erty being a controlling agent rather
than an employe in assessing damages.
That is, whether Mrs. McDougal was
manager or a mere clerk in the employ
of the company.

Result of Classea Conducted by
Company's Expert.
Pies, cakes, puddings, white bread,
brown bread, corn bread and numerous
other kinds of bread atracted attention
and admiration from several hundred
interested men who visited the fourth
floor of the Welis-Fargo building yes
terday. These delicate dainties were the
prize products of the domestic science
class recently organized among the
women employes of the O.-W. R. & N.
Company in the Wells-Fargo building.
In addition to the atractive array of
eatables, the women also exhibited a
wide variety of needlework, reflecting
surprising skill to those of their asso
ciates who were unaccustomed to seeing
them perform outside their offices.
Several months ago officials of the
company manifested a desire to develop
the latent domestic talents among the
women in their offices, hence instructed
Mrs. M. 'E. King to give them a series
of lessons. Kooina were fitted up on
the fourth floor of the Wells-Fargo
building for the purpose.
Mrs. King is the regular domestic
science teacher for the company. In
season and sometimes out of season
she travels over the system and in
structs women in the art of canning,
preserving, cooking and other useful
duties around the house. She is to the
women of the Northwest what "Farmer''
Smith is to the men.
A few weeks ago Mrs. King decided
that her pupils in the general offices
had made enough progress to merit a
demonstration of their skill, so an ex
hibit was arranged.
THREE GARS COLLIDE
SEVEN PASSENGERS ESCAPE. ONE

Drives Into Another.
Three automobiles figured in a col

avenue and Shaver street yesterday, in
which seven occupants narrowly es
