V .8 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. FORTLAlSTD, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBR UARY 25. 1904. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AT SWORDS' POINTS 'Straggle for Control Appears Inevitable at ; To night's Meeting of the County Central Com: mittec Rival Factions Evenly Balanced ' The hopes of an amicable adjustment ' Of the difference! between the two ele- , menta In tbe Democratic county central committee seem doomed to disappoint ment. The committee is to meet at S -o'clock this evening In the Mining ex change. Chamber of Commerce building, and the Indications . point to a stormy session. A fight for control, between tbe conservative element, headed by the chairman, Alex. Sweek, and the more radical faction,- led by Newton McCoy, George H. .Thomas and I T. Peery, seems to be. Inevitable. The conserva tive faction includes in Us ranks Gov ernor Chamberlain, Judge Bellinger and many others - of thsTyrominent t Demo crats of the city. The Immediate Issue Is the question whether the nomination of delegates to the county convention - shall; be In - the hands of the executive committer which Is controlled by . the McCoy-Thomas, Peery wing, or whether It shall be han dled by the general committee, in which . the conservatives are supposed to be in the majority. Upon the determination of this question will depend the control of the convention. . , : ' ' . The conservatives believe that . they . have majority of four or five in . the general committee, and it Is quite pos sible that they may attempt to put through a. resolution abolishing the ex ecutive committee. The reason for such action lies in the provision of the elec tion i laws which vests the - "managing committee" of any political party with the right to nominate! delegates to be voted for at the primaries. , The mem bers of the. executive committee claim that their body is clearly tbe managing committee of the Democratic party in this county, and that they have there fore the sole right to make the nomina tions, although they have, called for recommendations from the various pre cincts. To avoid any legal question that might be raised, it has been proposed by jsome of the conservatives that the ex- 'ecutrve committee be abolished, thereby leaving the general committee as the managing committee. - it tbe necessary .number of votes can be secured, this will probably be dona. Tbe conservatives say that they would be quite willing to leave the nomination , of delegates to the Democrat of the city and county, if they can be assured of a general expression of the party's choice. To this end they would be satis fled to have the nominations made in ward meetings. ; But they object to the plan advocated by the executive com mittee, of calling primary meetings to make "recommendations," on the ground that in many precincts where Democrats are few the meetings would not be at tended and no -recommendations - would be" medewltlirtbjr result" that the se lection of nominees would . be left en tirely, to -the executive committee. "They argue that this would result In the nom ination of adherents . of r the McCoy-Thomas-Feery faction, which would thus gain control of the convention.: The conservatives assert that If they are victorious in tonight's meeting it wlH mean that the nomination of dele gates ' will be left to the Democratic voters, who .win choose for themselves the men to represent them. . They think that the majority of the Democrats of Multnomah county are in sympathy with them, rather than with the rival fac tion. -. , , . The McCoy-Thomas-Peery faction ac cuses Chairman Bweek of ' being se cretly In favor of fusion with the Simon Republicans, a charge which he has re peatedly and , emphatically denied, and they contend that he and his adherents should not be Intrusted with, the man agement of the Democratic campaign. But Sweek has put . himself on record so plainly as opposed' to fusion, and has so consistently advocated a straight parly ticket, . that the accusation finds little credence. --.r . ... There appears to be nothing In ' the election laws to prevent the removal of the executive committee,. If a majority of the general committee see fit to do it. and the breach between the two factions has become so wide that such summary action is quite prooaDie 11 tne con servatives can muster the votes. " Two-, years ago Alex Bweek was elected chairman of the general commit tee by a voce of 14 to 2. and his friends assert that the majority of the com mlttee is still with him. Peery and his allies Insist, however, that when it comes to a showdown tney wiu oe found to have the upper hand. m ORDINANCE ALMOST READY nw ma ajto pvrvouta oasx- K A2T CI WILL BOOS SB XSPOBTB9 8T TK2 SPBCXAX COMMITTEE TO rxs COTOCXL ajt xmtobtamt MXASTTM, P. I. JACOBY WEDS A PORTLAND GIRL 2?i.i-'v.Si.;-':K!i. J' MRS. MAT KOSHLAND JACOBT. One of the, most elaborate weddings mf tbe season was celebrated at the Portland ; hotel ; last night. Miss May KqKlfland,' daughter, of Theodore Bern he lot of Portland, was the bride, and Philip L Jacoby of San Francisco,' the groom. The wedding took place In the large parlor, 'which ,was transformed by palms, flowers and lights into .a bower. The f our pillars which-eupport the cen tral arch of the room were wound with ropes of smllax. and about them were banked palms and clusters ' of stately caster lilies.; Midway between the pil lars were pyramids of pink and white azaleas, crowned with," crystal vases from which drooped long stemmed American Beauty roses. From these pyramids, white satin ribbons were fes tooned to the nUlara on either side, where they were held In place by huge bunches of pink and white Maman Cochet roses. . At the, end of the aisle thus formed, in the alcove, was a canopy of smllax studded with tiny electric lights. At the front of the canopy white doves held in their beaks white ribbons which fell gracefully to the pil lars on either side. The background of palms, and ferns was interspersed with callas and , caster lilies. The mantles were banked with ferns and American Beauty roses, while the mirrors on either side reflected .the-graceful ar rangement of palms and lilies. To the' wedding music from Lohengrin,- the bridal party entered, the two bridesmaids, Miss May . Batchelor and Miss Fay Lavenson coming first, then the maid Of honor. Miss Koshland, the little - ring-bearer, Helen Abrahamson. the bride leaning on the arm of her father,, followed by Mrs. L N. Jacoby and Helen Cohn, mother and Uncle of 1 believe that every street that ex tends fo the river should be provided with a concrete bulkhead. I am will ing to vote the money" Councilman A. K.

I've got to skirmish around myself, and pay $1,800 in taxes within a few days." Executive Commit teeman William Flledner. "1 wish I could say as much. Mr. Bentley. During the consideration of the new fire and' bulldlhg ordinance bill this morning by the special committee that has been drafting It, Councilman Bent ley and- Mr. Fleidner put themselves on record In a short Informal debate The councilman went so far as to state that everything, possible should be done by the. city to protect Its streets, andHhs executive committeeman stated his op position to what he considered needless expense. ' The special -committee was in session two hours this ' morning and - succeeded In checking over about half of the new bill.- The final meeting will be held Sat urday morning at 10:10 o'clock. Chair man Bentley stated that he desired to present the bill to the council next Wed nesday evening. The bill Is lengthy and covers the ground of 60 ordinances now in effect : The committee has been at work on it for over six months. ' Every thlng pertaining to building .construc tion, fire protection and the fire limits Is defined. No changes of Importance were suggested at .today's meeting.' Several architects and building contractors were in' ' attendance. A communication . was read from W. H. Gordon, suggesting that the ordinance be made as complete as possible. During the argument regarding bulk heads, Mr. Flledner declared there were other things of vital importance that should not be overlooked. ''Why, we can't even find room for our new Areboat, which we paid 140.000 for," he said. "Talk about the city protecting its streets. Some of you gentlemen may not know it, but the Jefferson street de pot belongs to the city of Portland. But the loss of the site to the city cannot be blamed on any one party. A Repub lican legislature gave it away and a Democratic Judge confirmed the gift. We have the privilege to land our boat, but no place to keep it." ' Th members of the special committee which drafted the bill are: Chairman, A. K. Bentley, council; William Flledner, executive board; J. P. Sharkey, council; W. K. Roberts, fire marshal; W.

The scene of one of the hardest con tested legal ; battles witnessed In th county for years has been transferred from th county to the state circuit court. Notice of. appeal from the de cision of County Judge Webster was filed today by Bronaugn Bronaugh, counsel -for C H. Buell, who Is endeav oring to prevent a county road . being laid out in the Trmontaddltloa The transcript on appeal Is a bulky docu ment containing a copy Of oil th trans. actions In the county court from Aug ust 19, 1903, to February 4, 1904. i. James F. Hugglns and Others ' peti tioned for the road and Judge. Webster appointed viewers. They reported fa vorably, saying the proposed road would cut off an eighth of a mile and connect Corvallls and Tremont additions. Buell then came forward as remonstrant, de claring that Hugglns did not care to see the road built as a matter of public utility, but because he has a store lo cated at what would be its terminus. He averred that the proposed highway would confiscate nine-tenths of an acre Of his own property worth $500, and cut off one and three-quarters acres from the main tract causing blm damage in the amount of 11,000. '. The viewers Investigated -the charges and reported that such a road '-would not damage Buell property in the least After months of litigation - the court overruled a motion to quash proceed ings and ordered the road built From this order, issued on last February 4, an appeal Is now taken to the state circuit court - Preferred Stock Canned Goods. Allen as Lewis', Best Brand. ; . Four hours after - reaching Tillamook light the British ' bark Thistlebank, which arrived In port last evening) was safely anchored at Astoria. Captain Parry, commander of the bark, says at 6 o'clock in the morning he was abreast Tillamook light and two hours later' a pilot was aboard and a tugboat along- ide. . At 10:30 o'clock the bar had been crossed and the vessel was lying in the still waters of the Columbia. It Is believed by marine men that this is one of the best records that has been made in recent years. Usually during the winter season a ship has to beat around on the outside several days be fore she is reached by a tugboat The Thistlebank brought a general cargo from Antwerp, a portion of which was discharged at Los Angeles. . The shipment for Portland amounts to 1,400 tons, and consists principally of cement glass, pig iron, whluky and beer. It is being discharged at the foot of Pine street ' . .t Just before Cape Horn was reached J. Williams, the cook, died suddenly of heart disease, . and his body was burled at sea. In speaking of the passage. Captain Parry this morning said: "W left Antwerp on July 21, 190S. Coming down the English channel con trary winds were encountered. - We cleared th Scllly islands on the seventh day out' Ther were favorable' winds to and through ' the northeast trades, losing the latter in 24 degrees north and 28 degree west longitude; light to strong solthwest monsoons td ; the equator, which was crossed on. the thirty-second day out "Then ther were favorable southeast trades to 25 degrees south, followed by northeast to north winds to the river Platte, South America, to Staten islands strong west and southwest winds, and we experienced great difficulty getting south and west We rounded Cape St Johns, Staten Island, on September 26, after being 65 days out From that date until November 9 continuous gales were experienced, two or three of them being particularly severe. We were nearly 60 days going from 50 degrees south in the Atlantic to 60 degrees south in the Pacific, during which time some of our principal sails were lost We had un favorable winds to 82 degrees south, when fine weather was once more ex perienced and carried until our arrival at Port Los Angeles on January 2. We left the California port on February 4, and made the passage up the coast to Astoria in Just 18 days." The Thistlebank Is not ohartered. IN MEMORY OF . CHARLES M'CWJR.
