Caldwell, A. II. Averlll and Ralph W. Iloyt Are Men tioned lor Mayor. Next tlg event hereabouts Is the city lection, which ia only 64 days off. It Is better than an even bet at this stage of proceeding's that there will be the usual scramble of six to a dozen as pirants for each office. . Up to the present only one aspirant lhas formally announced himself. He Is William H. Warren, Mayor Albee's private secretary, who Is avowedly In the race for Mayor. But the woods are full of others. Every large tree shields one or more of the boys who are peeking out, Indian fashion, to get a good view of the line tip before Bhylng a spear at the $8000 Job of Mayor, or one of the two joOOO Jobs as Commissioner that are to be filled. The election oomes on Monday, June 4. which Is nine weeks distant. The cfty charter provides that petitions of candidacy shall be filed not earlier than 40 days before the election, or April 26 In this Instance, and not later than 20 days before, which will be May Id. So there Is still plenty of time for pros pective candidates to take In the situ ation carefully before committing them selves. Mr. Laurgraaurd In Race. The signatures of only 100 registered . voters are required to petitions, so that formality will not deter anybody. While it is still more than a month (before any aspirant can file his petition of candidacy, some announcements of Intention to run may be expected very shortly. O. Laurgaard, one of the 12 Repre sentatives In the lower House of the Legislature from this county, has defi nitely decided to run for Commissioner. His announcement will be made at an early date. Mr. Laurgaard was engi neer fn charge of the building of the (450,000 Tumalo project, and has been In charge of various Government projects. Will H. Daly, present Commissioner f Public Utilities, has as good as an nounced himself for Mayor. To be Mayor of Portland has long been an ambition of Commissioner Daly's, and his friends consider the present the I proper time for him to make the try. City Plant to Be Issue. He will undoubtedly run on the issue f his proposed new municipal electric light and power plant, for which he has prepared an Initiative measure, author izing issuance of $1,700,000 In bonds, to TO on the ballot June 4. Commissioner Baker has not Bald he will run for Mayor, but his friends are Baying it for him. His hat seems to be as good as In the ring. He, like Com mlssioner Daly, may be considered vlr tually a certainty. Mr. Baker's term as Commissioner has two more years to run. City Treasurer Adams is considered a probable candidate for Commissioner. Jfe ran two years ago and was defeated only by a hair-breadth margin. Mr. Adams has been thinking of being a candidate for State Treasurer in 1918, co he may decide to forego the Com uisslonershlp. Others Are Receptive. City Auditor Barbur, however. Is re garded as certain to run for Commis sioner. He has served several terms as City Auditor and has been elected each time by Increasing: majorities. Among the several other prospective candidates for Mayor or Commissioner ere George W. Caldwell, former member of the Civil Service -Commission, who would like to be Mayor: A. H. Averill, former president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Ralph W. Hoyt, for sev eral years president of the Rose Fes tival Association. Both are mentioned for Mayor. Another name frequently heard In the Fame connection may be withdrawn from consideration, for George S. Shepherd" said last week that he would not be a candidate for Mayor or for Commissioner, either. Mr. Shepherd too busy on his proposed new charter to run for office. But there are many others who will. The names mentioned comprise only a sprinkling of the list. They will be jrin getting really active within the next few weeks, and then for a time the sir will tremble with the thump of hats dropping Into the ring. CTiEAN CAMPAIGX PROMISED V. It. Warner Says Rumor Mongers Are at Work Already. William H. Warren, secretary to Mayor Albee, who announced his can didacy for Mayor last week, supple mented the announcement yesterday with a statement to the effect that he is emphactically in the race to stay. "Within the past week, since my can didacy for Mayor of Portland has been definitely and publicly set forth," said Mr. Warren, "a great many voters have made Inquiry as to what kind of a cam paign It Is Intended I shall make. Be cause the ever-ready manufacturer of pre-election canards is already at work, evidently in an endeavor to discredit me thus early probably .to avoid the rush a brief statement seems proper. "Personally, It Is my Intention to con duct a clean campaign, confined to the Issues of the day, and under no cir cumstances will I "throw mud."

"It is my view that the people of Portland will be more interested in what I have to say concerning the out standing and highly important subjects connected with the campaign than as to my views regarding those who may become my rivals for the office of Mayor, whoever they may be. (At this writing I do not know.) "No matter what the inventive genius of the fertile-brained manufacturers of campaign canards may bring forth and spread broadcast to deceive the voters concerning the subject, I shall be a candidate for Mayor and have no intention whatever of withdrawing from the race for any purpose whatso ever. "Just at the present time there is a rumor to the effect that it is my intention to do something contrary to this and, while it will, probably, be im possible for me to deny all of the false statements that may be put out, I shall nevertheless consider it my duty to the voters to keep them acquainted with the facts as the campaign progresses. I will furnish this information through myself or authorized agents and will not call upon my opponents to assist me at any time. "Meanwhile, I wish again to assure the voters that, in eofar as I am. con cerned, the coming campaign shall be free of 'mud slinging and personalities. In this manner alone, as I see it, may we have an opportunity rightly to de termine the Issues that are before us." MOTHER GETS BABE Judge Rules That Grandfather Cannot Have Child.

Happy Youngster of Two Has Joy ous Time In Courtroom While Parents and Grandparents Fight for Her Custody. An attempt of a grandfather and his second wife to take from an Invalid mother her right to a fair-haired, hap py child of 2 years, her chief interest in life, was frustrated In the court of Juvenile Judge Tazwell yesterday, when he decreed that little Helen Elizabeth Mooiiey should be taken from her grandfather, E. "V. Sundstrom, of Hills dale, and given to the exclusive care of her mother, Mrs. Forreet Mooney, of 6647 East Eighty-second Btreet. Mr. and Mrs. Sundstrom endeavored show, together with Mrs. E. H. Frazelle, a well-intentioned neighbor. that Mrs. Mooney should not be allowed to keep her "daughter, who had been with the grandparents about nine months, because Mrs. Mooney was tu bercular and there was danger of the babycontracting the dread disease. Dr. William M. Campbell and Dr. Robert L. Benson, pathologist at the University of Oregon medical school testified that the mother was not tu bercular, never was, and was an In valid due to a muscular rheumatism of serious crippling nature. Bacterlolog leal examinations had shown no trace whatever or consumption, and the phy siclans agreed that it could not en danger the child's health to be with her mother. Keeling; Intenne In Hearing;. Feeling was intense during the hear lng, Mrs. Sundstrom resenting the rul ing of the court and Mr. Sundstrom also snowing much heat. At the con clusion, however, Sir. Sundstrom offered to shake hands with his non-ln-law, Mr, Mooney, but the younir man refused, his face pale and his lips set. Mrs. Mooneys condition was such that she could not appear at court. The child played quietly in the court room and flirted outrageously with grizzled court attaches. Mrs. H. P. Tichner, a neighbor who had been In the Mooney home numerous times and was well acquainted with the family, testified that conditions always were sanitary and that the mother had need of her baby daughter. Baby Means All 1o Mother. The baby girl is all the sunshin she has all she lias to live .for." said Mrs. Tichner. teare brightening her eyes. "The - child means more to her than children do to many women." Mrs. I razelle testified to visits which convinced her that Mrs. Mooney was tubercular and that the cirl should not be allowed to stay with her mother. Mr. Mooney is an elevator operator on a small salary, but has kept up home and has a maid for his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Sundstrom refused to give the child to the father when he demanded the girl recently, because their own convictions, supported by those of Mrs. Frazelle. Mr. Mooney went to the District Attorney's office for relief and threatened to file kid naping charges, at which the grand father Instituted the action before the Juvenile Court for custody of the girl, Jadse Gives Hiilingr ?'I do not think the evidence Justifies taking the child from her mother," said Judge Tazwell at the conclusion of the hearing. "No tuberculosis has been shown; the child sleeps in a differen room from her mother, and I believe the best interests of 'the child will be served if she Is allowed to remain with her mother." The court suggested that Mrs. Fra zelle be allowed to visit the home oc casionally. W. W. Banks, attorney for the father and mother, protested that Mrs. Frazelle had been "at least over zealous" in the matter and asked that if she was sent an officer of the court or another woman accompany her. Judge Tazwell said that, while he believed Mrs. Frazelle wa acting from the best of motives in taking the In terest she did In the case, that Mrs. Spring stocks of Furniture, Rugs, Ranges and Bouse Furnish ings are now at their best.
