Vigorous, Clean Young Man Seeks District Attorneyship ;
JAMES COLE IN CHARACTERISTIC TOSE.
"James Cole, candidate' for the Be
. publican Domination for 'district at
torney for the fourth judicial district"
In , words, and in print, the. phrase
above dors not bold ao much of sig
nificance . to the average reader and
voter. Byt In fact Jt la potential of
great results for the good and improved
citizenship Of Multnomah county. In
'brief it mean that the people of the
city of I'ortland and of Multnomah
county havo it In their power to elect
a young: man to office who la the soul
of earnestness and of Industry and who
in animated by the rather novel Idea
that the first obligation of a proeecut-
Ing attorney la to do his full duty to
the public. It means that (here la now
before the people of the fourth dlstrlfrt
a potential district attorney who. If
elected, would see to it that the laws
of the state would be enforced, a man
who would not shirk his duty or bend
from the part of right because of per
sonal friendship or private Influence.
James Cole, the candiJate, U a young
man. In years he has not traveled far,
but In preparation he has gone a great
distance. He has done that thing which
many, older than he, have not done; he
baa become a man, fearless. Independ
ent, unafraid, seeking that which Is
Just, working for that which Is right.
You have to know "Jim" Cole to ap
preciate him. . Me does not have the
silver tongue. lie has not kissed tho
blarney stone. His eloquence Is em
bryonic He Is no politician. But he Is
a man, and a cltlxen, earnest, thought
ful, purposeful. He wants to do right
and he wants to .make Portland and
Multnomah, county clean, a place of
homes and honesty and straight deal
ing. For that reason and purpose he
has allowed his friends to persuade
him that It is a duty which tie owes
to the rest of tha cltlsens of this com
munity to become a candidate for of
fice. ' In his campaign for the Republican
nomination James Cole Is not hurling
empty phrase or campaign rhetoric
against the ears of his listeners. He is
telling them Just what he means, is
promising Just what he would do if
he were district attorney. He is out
lining his plans.
There is this much about it, though,
and all those who hear Jamea Cole
speak can aee its truth. If James Cole
should be elected district attorney he
would be boss of his office. He would
deal out Justice as it should be meted
out, taking no heed of the wealth or
the (poverty, the Influence or the lack
of Influence of those who came before
the br of justice. He would Join
hands honestly, fairly, with the blind
goddess, and would look et tha offense
and not at the men aa they came be
fore him. The bejeweled hands of
those who grow fat on the income of
the flowing, bowl could not draw, him
out of the iirect line of fairness. The
holders of favors and of corporate
power could not warp his Judgment. He
would be the sorvant, and the protector.
of the whole people, not of any claas
or cult or creed. He would be the dis
trict attorney.
So, in short, James Cole is a man. in
dependent, open, fearless, unattached.
He la not owned by any individual or
set of individuals. He is his own mas
ter nnd stands firm noon his own feet.
He never has been bought, and never
can be. He wants to give the -people
or roiiiana ana aiuitnoman. county a
clean administration, to show them
what an independent, law-enforclns- dis
trict attorney should do for tha district.
He may not be eloquent, but he would
be honest. He may not be an orator,
but he would be an official friend of
the people. He may not be a politi
cian, but he would be a man. In all
that the term Implies, one who would
give to all their dues and to none an
advantage. Ha would be a law enforcer.
an nonesi servant or me nonest people,
and for that reason he is meeting with
support ana encouragement among I
moso woo want sn nonesi- oxnciat in I
ox nee.
FOR HER BOY
Mrs. O'Connell. Berates Di
Yorccd Husband in Court,
: Demanding He Tell Her
the "Whereabouts of the
' Child at Once.
; Bitterly lamenting the outcome of her
- divorce case, becauae the custody of her
11-yeer-old boy bad been awarded to
her husband, Mrs. Julia O'Connell creax-
. d a scans in Judge O'Day's department
of the circuit court yesterday afternoon.
After demanding of Judge O'Day that
the whereabouts of the boy be made
known to her, the almost frantic woman
- pounded the table In front of the bench
and exclaimed:
"It's a shame, the way I am treated
here."
Judra O'Day was lust leaving the
bench and he admonished the woman to
": keep still, saying he wanted to hear no
more from her. As the Judge and the
attorneys went Into consultation in tne
chambers of the court a few moments
i later Mrs. O'Connell, boiling with rage,
-walked behind the chair where sat her
husband, Dennis O'Connell. and In loud
tones berated mm.
' JTrenaled woman Creates Scene.
... ...,W. 1 anil 1 .h.
' Tou have no right to keep our boy, and
you win nave to Buiier ror mis some
day. - There la a Just God, and you will
live to repent of this. This is an out
rage, and you will live to repent It
. fou are a miserable rascal, you are."
O'Connell listened quietly to this ti
rade, but scarcely moved in his chair.
He looked' away from his wife and only
Bmlled, without looking at her, aa she
stamped the floor and brought down a
clialr wltn. a Dang upon tne iioor. ine
-.courtroom behind was , well filled with
curious onlookers,; but all the court of
ficials were absent for the moment and
to one attempted to interrere witn tne
fr en tied woman as she poured forth her
fury. Still declaring that she would
have her boy, she finally walked from
the room, her anger now giving way to
a flood of tears. For some time she
stood in the corridor, crying aa though
her heart would break.
Mrs. O'Connell's outburst followed the
decision of Judge O'Day granting her a
divorce and awarding one of the chil
dren to each parent Their little girl,
2 years Of age, has been with her moth
er since the parents separated. Tha
boy has been with his father, or where
bis father placed him. but the where
abouts of the boy have been concealed
irom tne tnotner. Tne boy was a wit
ness in the trial of the divorce case In
favor of his father.
' Hotly Contested Suit.
Rarely has a divorce case been more
hotly contested than that of the O'Con-
nells. The original complaint,- charging
cruelty, waa filed by Mrs. O'Connell
Over one year ago. O'Connell filed an
answer and cross-complaint but later
withdrew the cross-complaint He waa
willing his wife should have a divorce
and centered his fight on retaining the
custody of the boy and resistence to his
wife's claims to a large ahare of his
property. She alleged that she had lent
him a large sum of money that he failed
to repay. The total value o the prop
erty is petween is,uuu ana iib.ooo.
judge O Day did not divide the prop.
erty yesterday, saying that he desired
to leoK over tne cronertv before he acts.
This was agreeable to both sides, and in
company with the attorneya for each
be will Inspect all that the O'Connells
own.
Parents Mar Visit Children.
The marriage that has proved so mn
tually unhappy took place in Glencoe,
Oregon, in IKS 3. O'Connell is a car-
penfer and contractor, and by hard work
has accumulated the most of his prop
erty that Is now in dispute. After the
testimony had been heard last fall Judge
o way suggested a reconciliation and
gave the warring husband and wife
friendly advice to settle their troubles
Neither was willing to continue married
Hie. however, ana delay Has apparently
only added to the bitterness of feeling,
Alter tne aecree is prepared the rath
er will be required to reveal where
the boy is staying, and his mother
will be permitted to visit him. O'Con
nell will also have the privilege of vis
itlng the little girl at , her mother's
home.

Health Board Considering
Several Suitable Loca
tions on East Side.
It is up to the health board to recem-
mend a site for Portland s new crema
tory, and after sending In a communi
cation to the council recommending the
site at East Third and East Everett
streets it withdrew the message and
will give the matter further considera
tion before maKing a recommendation.
Just why the health board withdrew
its communication to the council before
that body met Wednesday has not been
revealed. There waa no special meeting
or tne- ooara caiiea lor mat purpose,
but a hurried call of several members
resulted In the withdrawal of the recom
mendation for the site at East Third
and Eaat Everett It la said that the
board has several other sites under Con-
eideratft'n and does not want the own
ers to boost the prices before options
can oe securea on tne property,
The site at East Third and East
Everett is an Ideal place for the crema
tory because of the formation or tne
land. A half block could be secured
at this point fronting on a bluff over
hanging a slough. The incinerator
could be erected so that garbage wagons
could enter and leave either on Everett
or Third streets and the ashes be dumped
into the eiougn. ino city is at present
using the terminus or East Third .street
as a dumping ground for street sweepings.
Another site tnat would be favorable
for a crematory is north of East Burn-
side street between the railroad tracks.
This property is owned by the O. R. &
N. company. The disadvantage of this
site would be the difficulty encountered
by the garbage wagons In entering and
leaving the crematory.
Anotner east side site tnat would be
an advantage over the present site is
the one at the terminus of East Davis
street. This property, like the site at
East Third and East Everett streets, is
on an elevation ana wouia oe ad
vantageous for the crematory.
Several other sites are being consid
ered by the health board and it is
probable that of these one will be
recommended. -After tne board decides
upon a site an effort will be made to
secure an option on the property before
recommendation is maae to tne coun
cil. - '-f - -' -
The site at East Third and. East Ev
erett streets was the one recommended
by experts who visited Portland at the
time of tne lewis ana uiaric exposition.
These men made an inspection of all the
available sites In the city and recom
mended .the one at East Third and East
Everett streets to the health board. - At
that .time, the property could nave been
bought for $30,000. It la believed that
It could, be. secured at the same price at
uie present time.
