Set New Standard i The follo.wing is a personal. letter received by a vfrien(i from the Rev. Stephen, S. Wise, formerly rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel: "New York,- May 22. I am deeply interested, I need hardly say,' m. the coming J mayoralty election. I rejoiced to - learn that 'Mayor Lane had been' renominated at the primaries without lift inga finger in his own behalf. I hope with all my heart that Mayor Lane may be triumphantly reelected. - I am thinking not at all of Mayor Lane? I am thinking altogether of the best interests of the city of Portland and of the opportunity which the citizenship of l'ortland faces, at the coming election to demonstrate that good government is not to be an experiment, but is to be permanently es tablished. "The defeat of "Mayor Lane at this time wouldrbe a grave set back to the cause of municipal' government in America. Mayor Lane has rendered noteworthy service to the city of Portland throughout the last two years. He has not been a Democratic mayor; but the mayor of a whole city, and I daresay that not even the most partisan Republican will venture to doubt for a moment that Mayor Lane's administration has -set a new standard in the conduct of municipal affairs for future-incumbents of the mayoral office. ' : ; . ' ; :" ' ' . '" "In all the years of my mannooi I 'do not know, of a mayor who has served the welfare fef Jiis --sity, with Uitf devotion .and wjsdojm than has Mayor Lane. - If I were a citizen of Portland 1 would k labor earnestly for his reelection, although, ras you know, I am a Roosevelt Republican, Lane is a Roosevelt Democrat. "I have no fear that Mayor Lane will fail of election. The elec torate of Portland is too independent and discerning to fail to re ward a faithful public servant. His defeat, which , is unthinkable, would be tantamount to an invitation to partisanship to resume its domination of municipal affairs-in Portland.. We are fast reach ing the time when men will be as little concerned about the national political affiliations of a candidate for municipal office as they are in the cut of his coat. I rejoice to think that Portland has already ''led the way. .. "Time and again since I have come to New York I have spoken x at public meetings of the almost unique political independence and integrity of the yoters of Portland and Oregon. I know Portland so well and I love Portland so well that I feel assured that Mayor Lane will be reelected to th office the duties of which he has for two years discharged with1 fidelity, impartiality and integrity.

Eighteen days and nights . without sleep was the direct cause of ' William Shuman shedding copious tears when he pleaded guilty before Judge Charles E. Wolverton in the United States district court IIiIh morning "of sending an ob scene letter through the mail to Annie Walker, the famous Montana girl horse thief. A possible sentence of five years at McNeils island and a possible fine of $5,(100 were otily secondary circum stances that-caused Shuman to over flow, lie was sentenced to serve five months In the county Jail. Shuman put up a plea full of heart rending, lachrymose statements, "v In whlelv he told of the wrongs perpe trated upon him by the strenuous An nie.' Especially did he dwell tnpon the attempt of .Annie to kill ; him. Five cartridges whistled about and through his body before he could put bullet dis tance between himself and the. fair Amaeon.' In qurt Shuman pointed wildly at his arm and hand, where some of', the girl's bullets plowed their way. A "Why didn't you sever your, relations with the girl?" asked, the court. V : "I did try to, but, she loved me so, I could not break away," . was the -.reply. Shuman told between his sobs how he met Miss Walker In Taeomafell In love with her and she with ?hlm, and then how he tried to live apart from her when he learned of her past reputa tion, and from all that has been-said of Annie she has ji past that reflects creait upon jsnunmn s decision to r fuse to have anything to do with her.

Mayor Caufleld of Oregon City de livered the pasteboard rolls bearing the messages to the waiting youngsters at the bridge this morning and a moment afterward six runners were stretching their necks In an effort to be first In completing the first relay. The start ers were Hussey, Mount TAbor; Hale, Hawthorne; Ashbaugh, Shattuck; Gandy, Highland; Lincoln. Alnsworth; Penson, Atkinson. 'Down the road for the first half mile a neck to neck race was in progres then thte breaths began to come faster and faster and the gaps between the various racers increased perceptibly. Some even slowed down to a walk. Ashbaugh won the first relay In six minutes for Shattuck, but during the 12 relays following Hawthorne runners maintained first place until the race was completed. This was due to the long period of spring training which the latter have carried on in anticipation of the event. Kawthorne Takes Lead.

Mayor Lane has issued the following: There was published today by , Mr. J. H.

Some time ago complaint was made by Mr. -Anderson against some certain houses of that character which were lo cated near his place of business, ; and acting upon his complaint , such nouses were ordered closed, . and were closed. Immediately following this the charge was made by the woman. who kept such house that Mr. Anderson had been for some time engaged in an attempts to force her and others whj had business connections with her to .purchase hi place of business, presumably to "be used for the same kind of business.
