t .Frederick W, Hulkey has not , lost
hope. - He still bms afar off, but still
visible to the naked eye, the alluring
rainbow ef the senatorial toga as worn
by himself in Washington, only he has
apparently changed his allegiance from
the ranks of Statement No. 1 and Is
putting his trust In a divided legists
ture, , an old-time senatorial battle at
Salem and the proverbial swiftness of
u the fabled black horse.
. In other words, Mr. Mulkey would
like to be a dark horse at Salem next
January , and In order to be one with
, prospects he would like to see a small,
' .or if possible a large, coterie of friend
. unpledged by Statement No. 1 In the
' legislature' to come to hi aid at the
psychological moment and lead him out
, of the darkened stall Into the light of
victory.
' ' Oets Gold reet,
Mr. Mulkey announced himself a can
'. dldate for the United States senate on
the Republican ticket some long time
go before there were other candidates
In the field. At that time he stood
solid on the Statement No. 1 platform
and spent some time In making a tour
of the state In the interests of his can
dldacy. Upon his return to Portland his
campaign lagged and one morning it
was announced that Mr. Mulkey had de-
' cided to withdraw from the contest, he
stating that he had not received the
, support from the champions of State
ment No. 1 that he was led to believe
' should come to him.
The announcement by Mr. Mulkey that
he would retire from the contest nat-
,'urally put him aside as a senatorial pos-
slbilliy so far as the public mind was
concerned, but he has now come back
into the light once more from a point
opposite his exit.
According to the story that Is being
' passed around discreetly In political clr-
cles Mr. Mulkey has evidently become
Imbued with the idea that there will be
. enough anti-Statement No. 1 members
In the legislature to start something
when the senatorial election becomes the
order of tha da v. He has figured It out
i that there is strong probability that
. Governor Chamberlain, lr ne runs ror
the senate, may capture tne popular
' vote in June. Out of this he expects to
see a fight arise.
Where There's Ufa There's Soap.
With this argument as a basts for
his hopes Mr. Mulkey recently has been
robing in a gentle way Into the legls
Uve situation. Men in Portland who
are prominent in ousinem ana pontics
and who are friendly to Mr. Mulkey
have been aeked whether they would not
become candidates for the legislature
on an anti-Statement No. 1 ticket Not
only in Portland, but in other parts of
the state the same proposition has been
made. .
Mr. Mulkey himseir has made tne re-
quest in some instances and from his
talk It has been gathered that he would
be pleased to be a dark horse if the
services of a dark horse should become
available to the struggling legislators.
It has been gathered from the confer
ences that have taken place that Mr.
Mulkey would like to have a few un
pledged friends In the legislature to
serve in an emergency in the senatorial
situation as a Mulkey nucleus capable
of drawing , to it more and more votes
until the mystic 46 had been registered
for him.

This change of front on the part of
f r vfiiiknv can be nolnted to as an
other evidence of the causes which are
underlying much of the opposition to
statement wo. j. mora who am iw

Paris, Feb. 15. Germany has refused
to interfere, singly at least, with
France's management of Moroccoan af
fairs. That the sultan has complained
of Gallic aggressions has been admitted
by the minister of foreign affairs In an
answer in the chamber of deputies, to
an interpellation by M. Jaures.
The German minister, the chamber
was assured, has behaved with perfect
courtesy In the matter, giving the
strongest verbal assurances that his
government is loyal to the Algecirus
agreement.
Replying to the sultan's appeal to
Berlin and his assertions that France
has overstepped the limits of the treaty,
he said the kaiser answered that he
cannot act alone and that Morocco, if
dissatisfied, must appeal not to Ger
many, but to Europe for a new confer
ence.

San Francisco, Feb. 16. "An ounce of

"The proceedings, according to evi
dence brought out." said Judge Conlan,
"showed one of the most remarkable
I cases that ha. ever come to the atten
tion of this court. The complainant,
although he is a common laboring man,
and the defendant Is a bank president, is
entitled to Justice, and when he Is as

day and then is disappointed several
times by this defendant and finally
threatened with a revolver. Is entitled
to some consideration at the hands of
the law.
"The evidence shows that two prom

by the defendant in the name of the
bank he represented. It also shows that
a letter in the form of a promissory
note was sent by the defendant to the
complainant, promising to pay within
certain days, and that In the meantime
the defendant engaged the complainant
to work upon his buildings at Elmhurst
and owed him besides the amount in
the defunct bank S66 for painting
and doing some work on the defendant's

State Guaranty of Deposits.

Guthrie. Okla.. Feb. 15. Oklahoma's
law providing for a state guaranty of
bank deposits, which is to become oper
ative today, marks one of the most ad
vanced steps that has been taken in
any part of the country to solve a great
financial problem by restoring public
confidence In banks. The provisions of
the statute are of a very simple char
acter. Each state bank is required to
pay to the state banking board a sum
eaual to 1 per cent of its average dally
deposits. Whenever this sum is de
pleted it shall be Increased by further
assessments, wnen a Dank rails tne
state bank examiner steps in and pays

These payments become a first lien on

his county, qualified to do so, would
