" ' T""v to the Vote Cutt for Re-election of Incum- bent to Carry On Work He Bc- gan by Driving Gloom " From Behind Bars. Sheriff Hurlburt has introduced a - novel feature in his campaign for re-"- election. Instead of delivering long speeches at the meetings he attends, ' lie simply gives his hearers a glimpse of some of the constructive things he j - has done during his 18 months in of- Xice and then puts himself on the wit- j ness stand to be quizzed by his aud r ienc For instance, at Gresham the other 1 day, where ne spoke -to two gather ings, one of the women, Mrs. Clanahan, "wanted to know about the way the Sheriff conducted the women's de- partment of the county jail. The Sher rr iff told how he had changed the meth 2 ods U3fld in the women's branch of the prison. The women prisoners are entirely ? separate from all others and are under 7 the sole and direct management of women matrons, appointed on the rec- ommendation of the women's organ- izations of Portland. Instead of one visiting day a week as formerly, he permits reasonable visiting at all times virtually. K "Sheriff, how long have you been in, and did not your opponent, have 'm the office six years?" inquired Mr. Honey in the meeting. AVhoIesonie System Inaugurated. "1 was elected by the people in H 1914," replied Sheriff Hurlburt, "and have been in office since January, ' 3 915 just about 18 months. Yes, my 3 opponent had three terms six years." "What changes have you made in the ;. county prisons?" wanted to know an . other in the audience. "The prisoners all get clean, whole- - come and ample of food, well cooked; I have put in the 'honor system' at w JCelly Butte, where prisoners are sent to break rock; also the reward-for-service plan, whereby the prisoners are paid a small amount a das' for efficient work. This is given them - when discharged. They then have a '.' lew dollars as an aid to honest work." ''"t "Sheriff, I want to congratulate you on the new method installed .in the ' tax-colecting department," said Frank - I McGuire, real estate man, at one of 1 the downtown luncheons he attended 2 yesterday. "If you had done nothing more than that during your 18 months - in office, the people ought to re-elect you." " Savins of Time "Welcomed. P The speaker then pointed out how a taxpayer now gets his or her state- t went immediately on asking for it at the Courthouse and how he or she may attend to this duty in five min " utes. whereas it used to require from a half to an hour or more. "I have gone on the theory the peo- - pie elected me to attend to their - business and to save them time and money," said Sheriff Hurlburt at that luncheon. "One of the first things we 4 installed was the new system of col lecting taxes. It has worked well and everybody seems to like it. I . know we have collected more taxes x and with less trouble and expense. Putting himself on the witness stand at a meeting on the Peninsula the oth f?r evening, one of the women wanted ' him to explain about the jails and to -' know how the experiment had panned v out at Kelly Butte. diloom Driven Out of Prisons. "My plan," answered the Sheriff, "has been simply to put a little sun- 3 shine into the prisons. Because a man 5 or woman is in jail ought not to bar ; him or her from consideration. Hu , mane treatment can't hurt anybody. It does help. And it can be done without interfering with proper dis ' oipline. One of the practical results is found in saving the county about 50 .' per cent on Us crushed rock, which t we have done at Kelly Butte during t the first month it has been under the i Sheriff's office, i Perhaps the first time on record on the Pacific Coast, prisoners in the county jail here last week held their kangaroo court and adopted resolu- tions urging the re-election of Sheriff Hurlburt The prisoners at Sing Sing prison i New York, voted for the retention of . ex-Warden Thomas Mott Osborne, of . that institution. -That seems to be the only other instance where inmates have so expressed themselves. It is unique thing. Humane treatment is responsible. FAITH IN MAN UNSHAKEN Chicago Prosecutor buys Public Plays Bis Part In Convictions. iiilCAliU. May s.

When the tour closed In Chicago a week ago. Miss Brooks left immediately for Port land. An evening or two before the engagement closed she fell a victim to a peculiar accident, in miscalculating step, and sprained both ankles.

Judge Hears Story of AVild Adventures. Craggy and gray as a weathered rock. but with weakness shakinir through his limbs, Martin Cox delivered an axiom on the virtue of thrift, as he spoke to Municipal Judge Langguth yesterday morning. "Any man in the. country is duty bound," he declared in. the accents of old Urin, "by the almighty God, to luk after his own savin s.

He struck the j rail with a grimed fist. "Why, ll wouldn't take a million dollars, or many of them, and take the life of the young- est man or the oldest boy. Don't e blame me, judge, fer I earned the money laid and honest." The courtroom crowd, ever alert to comedy of the pathetic, did not laugh. And Martin Cox moved back and forth I along the rail, peering sharply here and there, as he explained why bo really wanted to buy a revolver in Van couver. "Now, a lone man goin' through the city at night time, they're liable to take your blood and bones and be done for ye!" He wagged Ills head wisely. "I was a dead man many the year ago. if 'twasn't for the gun," he assured the court. 'Wild Tale Helated. Of tilts with thugs and fcalldogs, when he "was a young man In Boston many years ago." Martin Cox rambled on. He told of lodging-house doors that opened warily, of wolfish eyes that scanned the sleeper, of his rush and leaD to freedom, waving the revolver that frightened back his foes. Either Martin Cox is a concentrated library of yellow fiction, or his youth was wild as a motion picture hero s. "Ye can now do as ye plaze with me,' he concluded his defense of "gun toting." "How old are you?" Judge Langguth asked him. "Well, pardner, I was born in. 1842," was the affable reply. "Have you any money? "I have $1800 where I can lay me hands on It at any time." "I want to know where it is," the judge persisted. "Ah." said Martin Cox. with a guile ful smile that split a hundred wrinkles. "It 'twouldn't do ye any good, for you couldn't never find it!" Until Seneca Fouts or other friends make some arrangement for his future, Judge Langguth ordered that he be held In the City Jail. Deputy District Attorney Deich demanded that Cox be placed under bond to keep the peace. Locomotive Stolen to Get Drink. rOSXELLSVILLE. Pi... May 1.

BY JOHN BAHTRAM KELLET. Th nnvnl base committee feels that 1 It rinnot too often reiterate the neces- slty for the establishment of a naval base of the first class ai or ne.r mouth of the Columbia River at tnis time. The Oregon delegation is ex tremely hopeful of the success of the campaign. Portland Is throwing a tre mendous impetus into me 115111. a promising tight now. Plain horse sense requires a lock on the door of a house. The same sense requires a lock on the gates of a nation. At present there is none on the gate to the Inland Km pire or on the elde doors at Grays Harbor or Coos Bay. A unit of our fleet stationed in the mouth of the Co lumbia would furnish that lock for 300 miles of coast line. Adjutant-General White recently told some members of the naval base com mittee that the United Mutes v ar oi- : lege realized that the first stand that I could be made in the Columbia Basin would be in the Bear River Valley In Utah. That would mean the evacua tion of this Coast. This is perhaps a remote chance, but the knowledge is disturbing and the situation inexcus able. Any war has seemed remote un til it broke out. Portland Intercut Artlve. Portland has taken the matter in hand, arrayed itself behind the com mittee and is bringing its strongest in fluence to bear' in the campaign. The Oregon delegation reports that the mat ter is favorably looked upon in asn- ncton. The fight from the beginning has been in the open and the weapons n the hands of the Columbia Basin ad vocates have been powerful. The favorable action of the Cham ber of Commerce, the moral support ot the leading organizations of the city and the generous support of the busi ness men have been a tremendous fac tor In the campaign. iiugene, Salem and Astoria also have thrown them selves into the fight, both morally and financially. With a continuance of such concerted efforts founded on a patriotic and common sense basis, nothing can beat the Columbia Basin in its fight for rea sonable naval equipment at the mouth of the great river. In little more than a week more tnan $1000 of the necessary funds to conduct the campaign have been contmniieu by Portland. These contributions are making it possible for the committee to continue Its work in Washington and throughout the Columbia Basin. Portland Subscriptions Annoanerd.
