This does not necessarily mean that his

At 10 o'clock last night the world did
not look good to I. E. Anderson. Ho was
laboring under a weight of woe and an
overdose of north end firewater, and
there seemed to lilm to be but one log
ical solution ot the difficulties under
wM' i he was laboring- suicide, ,
Having made up his mind to seek sur
cease from sorrow by taking his own
life, he confided his Intentions to all
who cared to listen. Patrolman Rob
erts was finally let In on the ground
floor of Anderson's desires, and prompt
ly put a period to events by arresting
Anderson and charging him with being
drdnk.
Anderson promptly and properly fell
Into a deep and refreshing slumber
which lasted until he was called to ap
pear before Judge Cameron In the police
court this morning. When apprised of
the situation in which he found himself
he promptly disclaimed any Intention
of passing to the great beyond before
his appointed time.
"I was out last night, and something
must have happened to me," he ex
plained to the court.
"I think you have grasped the situa
tion exactly," remarked the iidge, "and
unless you pay a fine of $3 for the use
and benefit of the people something else
will happen to you."
The fine was paid.

of W. R. Orlffith for violation of the
city building ordinance and the war

Griffith Is building a five-story frame
structure at Fourteenth and Salmon

tipouker Cuunon has been observing
the rise of the Hepburn star in many
Instances, and it Is said that he realises
It must be squelched right Therefore,
the wise ones say, he has taken ad
vantage of the opportunity afforded by
the fight over Ui anti-trust measure to
get Hepburn's scalp, so far as his as
pirations anent the speakership are Involved.
The administration's bill, so called,
waa Introduced by Representative Hep

resolution to discharge the judiciary
committee from consideration of the

FIGHT TO REOPEN
PORTLAND
GATEWAY
According to rumors current in rail
road circles today an effort will be
made by the Harrlman lines to -reopen
the Portland gateway. It Is said that
the Harrlman officials are preparing to
force the Hill lines Into opening the
gateway closed some weeks ago so as to
allow passengers to be handled In both
directions tnrougn roruana.
In case this la effected, as the rumor
has lt. the great loss to Portland threat
ened bv the closing of the gateway and
the deflection of the tourist travel bv
way of Puget sound and Spokane will
be obviated and Portland will retain
her present Important position as a
center for tourist travel.

Forest Grove, Or., March 27. A tall
with a crack across the top and located
on the identical trestle from which tha
coaches were thrown In the wreck on
the Southern Pacific railroad near this
city some weeks ago, whereby three
persons were Rilled and more than a
score Injured, waa discovered by a Jour
nal correspondent and a citlsen of For
est Grove yesterday afternoon while vis
iting the scene of the recent wreck.
The crack In the rail extends entirely
across the top, and In the center It Is
at least a quarter of an Inch deep. At
first view the crack gives the appear
ance of being two rolls joined very
closely together, and Its true nature
was only noticed by the absence of a
fishplate at that point.
While the base of the rail below the
crack has the appearance of being
sound, tne constant pounding or the car
wheels over the unsound rail might well
cause lt to break entirely through and
cause a repetition, at the same spot, of
the recent terrible accident.
A committee of Portland wholesale
grocers and Portland Commercial Club
officials met at the Portland Commer
cial club today to discuss the advisa
bility of securing the next national con
vention of the Retail Grocers' associa
tion. It waa decided to send a large
delegation to attend the 1908 conven
tion at Boston May 11-14, mid make a
winning effort to get the 1909 conven
tion. The men In attendance at today's
meeting were J. C. Mann, I'. Dresser,
W. H. Glafke, C. B. Merrick. Tom Rich
ardson and William McMurray. The
delegation will go in a special car and
will number not less than 18 men.
They will make stops at the Important
cities along the route, and will be enter
tained by commercial organizations at
various points. It Is expected that a
great deal of favorable advertising for
Oregon and the northwest will be so
cured on the trip.

ty owned by John Clark and the John
Clark Saddlery company was begun be
fore Judge Gantenbeln In the circuit
court this morning, liooks and Darjers
dug up from dusty shelves and nooks
were stacked high on the tables, and
prominent attorneys, three on a side,

The suit Is brought bv John A Plurlr
Edward L. Clark. Mrs. 'Lottie ArjDerson
and Roy W. Clark, all children of John
Clark and his late wife, Elizabeth Clark,
who died June 18. 1901. A fourth son.
W. T. Clark, declined to Join in the suit
against his father, desiring to remain
neutral. Hnd he has been made a nominal
defendant.
The suit turns upon the effect of a
bill of sale of the John Clark Saddlery
company and certain deeds executed bv
the defendant in 1894 to his wife. The
deeds cover property at Fourth and
Stark streets, park; and Oak. and other
lots in north and east Portland. The
children are now claiming the property
as heirs of their ' mother under these
deeds and the bill of sale. Their father
denies that he intended the property to
go 10 ins wne during nis nretime.
'S TIES THAT
BIND ARE UNBOUND
"Whenever I saw him he would run
away, and I would not get a chance to
talk to him," was the reason given by
Mrs. Sarah E. Doughton In explaining
to Judge Cleland in the circuit court
this morning why she had not discussed
reconciliation with. Charles H. Dough-
ton. She said the occasions referred to
were some time after they had separ
ated. When he left, and once afterward.
he told her that he would not return to
her any more.
Tha married life or the Doughtons be
gan in Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1870.
They separated In 1902, and since that
time the husband has -spent much of his
time in Alaska. Tha divorce was granted.
Campbell A. Duncan secured a divorce
from Suf-le M. Duncan,, to whom ha was
married in Linn county in .1888. He said
fcho deserted him In November, 1906, and
now is at Prinerille, refusing repeated
invitations to come to live with him ta

Medford, Or., March 27 In his ad
dress here last night H. M. Cake
aroused no little enthusiasm by the ex
planation of his position with reference
to Statement No. 1.
"I believe In Statement No. 1 because
I believe in the people," he said. "They
should have Just as much right to nay
who shall represent them In the United
States senate as in any body of repre
sentatives."
Mr. Cake is touring tho state In be
half rtt his rnndldacv for tho Retiub-
llcan nomination for 'nltad States sen
ator. There was a falr-sled crowd out
to hear htm, perhaps 200. Noticeably
absent were many of the bosses who
used to dominate local politics, lt is
said that the machine crowd is hostile
to the candidacy cf Mr. Cake.
The speaker dwelt at length on vari
ous questions of public Interest. He
spoke on the railroad question, tha im
provement of rivers and harbors and
other matters that are of great interest
at thin time. A leading feature of his
address was his urgent demand for
providing for the various needs or Oregon.

ing to day In tha United Brethren
church. The election of senators by dl
rect vote and the initiative and refer
endum are favored by a large majority
of the- delegates.
For the first time In years It looks as
though the liberal element of the state
prohibitionists will prevail against tbe
middle-of-the-road element and that In
many cases the party will Indorse candi
dates ' of other parties, especially in
county politics .In Una with this policy
Tom Word -will undoubtedly be indorsed
for sheriff.
The convention waa called to order
at 10 o'clock this morning by E. T.
Johnson. J. F. Hanson waa elected
chairman and H. C. 6chaeffer secretary.
J. P. Newall addressed the convention
on state prohibition work and said that
local option has prepared the way for a
successful state prohibition campaign
two years hence. .,
State JUpe for rrohlbltlon.
The speaker said that tbe stats was!
ripe ror prohibition now out tne move
ment had grown too fast for the party
to take advantage of It, and that two
years from now there will be no doubt
of Oregon's going in the dry list. It
seemed to be the opinion of the dele
gates that the brewers were making a
desperate ngni ana mat ii tney were
given rope enough they would hang
themselves.
This noon the committees on plat
form and nominations met and drafted
a report to be submitted to the conven
tion this afternoon. The platform will
declare for Statement No. 1 and will
take a stand against the liquor traffic,
in its every phase, sale, transportation
and manufacture.
Each delegate was given two blanks
thin morning, one a ballot for state of
ficers and the other a ballot for choice
Every delegate filled In the blanks ait he
saw fit and returned them to the com
mittee on nominations. They were used
to guide the committee In Its choice or

Friends Say That Senatorial
Candidate Believes in
Statement No. 1 and
Should Take His Stand on
Such a Platform.
WUI Senator Fulton climb aboard the
Statement No. 1 platform before he
travel much farther In hla senatorial
campalgnT This Is tha question that
interesting soma of hit closest
friends, both personal and political.
Senator Fulton aaya today that he has
experienced no chsnga In attitude and
that iita friends are not flirting' with
tha Statement No. 1 forces, yet tha
tory still gains ground that an effort
being made to get him uoon the

now coslna as Ma supporters but who
in reality ara not.
Efforts have bean made to get the
RtatAmnnt Na. 1 ntnnl 1n Multnomah
county to go to Senator Fulton, aooord-
na to tne rumors which ara current.
but tney have refused to mane any ad
vances, holding that they are not
pledged to Statement No. 1 for the man
but for tha principle which it repre
sents. They contend that tha person
ality is a mere incident in th sena
torial fight, aa tha selection of senator
rcoraina to their theory reata wr.a tne
people. . . .
aeusT) u srfaiamrat.
Falling In this endeavor friends of
the senator-are now making efforts to
swing him Into the Statement No. 1
platform in order to gain the added
strength which would com from this
out and out attitude. The argument is
being mad that Senator Fulton person
ally believes in Statement No. 1 In
theory and practice and that since lie
does It would not mean that he was at
tempting to influonce th legislature In
his favor should he come out openly
and announca hla allegiance to the prin
ciple. Hack of it all. however, is believed to
be the lurking suspicion on the part of
many or his friends that Fulton is be
ing double-crossed by the followers of
the Hodson-Beach-Balley-Reed machine.
It was stated some time ago, at about
tha time the Hodson ticket made its ap
pearance, by on of the members of the
ticket that th Intention was to give
Fulton tha nomination and then beat
htm with Chamberlain in June. This
would release th combination from any
senatorial pledge and give them free
rein In supporting whatever candidate
for senator that they might desire.
Since that time the whip of public
oblnlon has forced the Hodson ticket
away from their first pledge to vote for
"the people's choice, provided he was a
Republican," back to the straight pledge
for the Republican choice. Still the
fact remains that Fulton cannot, be a
candidate before th legislature unless
he Is elected In June, for he has taken
a pledge in his Corvallts speech not to
allow hts name to be used unless he re
ceives the popular indorsement in June.
Cake is shut out by reason of hla
Statement No. 1 platform. It Is appar
ent, therefore, that there can be no Re
