DEATH

1 , Frederick W. Mulkey, for a few weeks
-United States senator from Oregon and
for another few weeks candidate .for
...the same position, has succeeded In or
- lamenting the already badly marred
countenance of the Oregon U. O. P. with
, another full-slsed and prominent bump.
. - Incidentally he has added another snarl
and tangle to the Inextricable mage of
. political conditions and may drive the
. Fulton and Bourne forces under the
'. aunt cover. Whatever happen, though.
It would seem that H. M. Cake, the Re
publican nominee for United States aen-
ator, will get the double cross in the
Jong run, .
Mr. Mulkey has political ambitions
and aspirations of future statesman
' ahlp. Sines he was elected United
'. States senator for a term of six weeks
at tbe last session of the legislature
' he has hankered after a longer taste of
the Joys of officialdom. He entered the
senatorial contest very early, but find-
ing that his aspirations did not strike
so resDonslve a chord as he anticipated
'. ha' withdrew. 'Since then he has been4
: In the background, only emerging once
Into the spotlight, when he presided at
i the Heney anti-Pulton meeting at the
Exposition rink.
- Sain for Band Wagoa.
Mr.Futton was defeated. Mr. Cake
' was nominated. Senator Bourn is
"boosting for his "second elective term."
Mr. Mulkey and his friend, 8. C. Beach,
who is playing a more or less lone po
litical hand, saw lbs great light, heard
the knock of opportunity and engaged
two rooms at the Imperial from May
12 to 14, as Taft headquarters, Into
which to lure the unwary delegates to
the state convention.
Mr. Beach, who is taking the lead In
the new movement, and Mr. Mulkey,
who Is financing the proposition, argue
that Senator Fulton, being defeated, is
down and out. Since Senator Fulton
was the original Taft boomer and has
- been eliminated, therefore opportunity
la ripe for a new Moses to lead the
Taft delegation to the Chicago conven
tion. Mr. Mulkey believes be Is that
It is believed that should Mulkey lead
a Taft delegation to Chicago, should
Taft be nominated and- elected, that
Mulkey would stand high In the graces
of the new administration and that ha
and' Beach would have generous hands
In the distribution of Oregon's political
patronage. Cake and Bourne, or Cham
berlain and Bourne, would not be given
much consideration, not having been
Taft boosters. Such Is the course of
reasoning.
Mr. Mulkey, however, has stirred up
' an additional discordant ripple on the
surface of the) officially smooth Reoub-
lican political pond. Fulton's friends
do not like him, and have still less
love for 8. C. Beach. They say -they
wll! not tread the same path and-that
before they will Join with the Mulkey-
Beach program they will bolt to the
Bourne camp. If this takes place the
result will ait unmstructed delega
tion, which will include both- Fulton
and ' Bourne. : Bourne men look with
suspicion on this proposition, however,
fearing that once the delegation Is
formed II will be found to have
' sufficient Taft ''mem- among ita members
to elect Fulton chairman and deliver
the- Oregon representation over to Taft
axter tie delegation reaches Chicago.
- -;-,' Bonne's mends Active. -With
'the appearance of Mulkev and
Beach In the offing. H. M. Cake and his
forces are just one step farther In the
ambush. '- Mulkey la not friendly to
Cake, yet expects no serious opposition
from him in the organization of the
state convention. Bourne expects aid
and earnest assistance. If Bourne gets
what he expects Mulkey win un sheath
his knife and keep It bare during the
rest of the campaign. If Bourne does
not get what he expects his friends will
rub a Ut tie salt into the already gaping
wounds. Either way Mr. Cake leans, he
will lean up against the knives of manv :
of Senator Fulton's friends, who have
already sharpened up their weapons and
are brandishing them, Mr. Cake Is In
the position of an innocent bystander
he is sura to get hit. no matter which

Landslips a srew Orief
The company has in the last few
months encountered great difficulty In
securing rights of way for the pro
posed railroad between Portland and
Bull Run. People owning plateau farms
around Gresham have demanded as
high as $1,000 and 11,500 per acre for
lands desired for the railroad right of
way. The company early In the under
taking declared that It would not sub
mit to being held up, and that it would
abandon the project before it would pay
the prices asked by a number of own
ers. During the fall a large land slide
from the side of Bull Run canyon began
creeping down upon the power house
site, and this caused no end of trouble.
A bulkhead about 600 feet long built
along the side of the canyon Is at
S resent holding the slide from further
escent.
The winter ralnsnave wrought havoc
with the grade cut by the company
through Sandy river canyon for about
two miles. Innumerable land slides
have occurred, and at many points the
grade has been burled or been carried
away down to the river 800 or 400 feet
below.

According 10 a report tne cleaner re-
nnrtnil t rt ihtt nnt i thin mnrntnv that
a man had left a coat and vest smeared
with blood at his place Friday ntsht
and wanted It cleaned In a hurry.
According- to the cleaners atorv he
thought nothing about the incident, as
tne man said the blood was splashed on
tils clothing while In a fight. The
cleaner ran the articles through a steam
cleaning process, removed all the blood
ana then reported the matter to Chief
Gritzmacher. Detectives Hellyer anl
Maioney were put on the clue, but re
ported nothing which would In any wav
connect the clothing with . that of the
murderer.
It is said that the blood on the coat
and vest was not sufficient to Indicate
that the clothing belonged to the man
who so fiendishly wielded the ax on
Wolff. According to the cleaner the
blood on the coat was about the collar
such as a man would get in a street
fight. Other splotches of blood were
on the vest, but not sufficient to indi
cate that they came to the ..man who
leaned over Wolff and chopped tbe un
fortunate man's head .with the short
broken ax.
However, the police are watching for
the owner to return' to claim the ?loth

EVIL III MAN
Speaker at Ministerial Meet
ing Takes Socialism as
His Subject.
A resolution was passed by the gen
eral ministerial association this morn
ing in the Interest of the anti-saloon
league, to discuss the local option caxfi-
palgn In the various pulpits next Sun
day,, or if that conflicts with other
plans individually, to take It up the fol-
owing gunoay.
The paper or tne day was f auaciea,
Fragments and Assumptions," by Rev.
JS. M. bnarp, dealing witn tne ques
tion of socialism. An interesting little
passage-at-arms occurred between H.
W. Stone of the Y. M. C. A. and the
writer of the paper. Mr. Stone re
sented the allusion in The paper to
Henry George, and classing of lilm with
agnostics and socialists.
Mr. Sharp showed that he had quoted
him as standing for the nationalization
of the land which imputation Mr. Stone
also repudiated, in tne paper, Mr.
8 harp said that the growth of certain
misconceptions under the guise of so
cialism are largely Influencing the
thought of laboring men toward he
church. Some of the leading fallacies
of the socialistic doctrine he named
that labor is the sole source of wealth;
that the rich are aettlna richer and the
poor poorer, the value of readjustment
which would come with the nationalisa
tion of the land, and the theory that
property is theft. Taking these one by
one he showed that labor is not the sole
source of wealth, but Intelligence and
utility are prime factors in determining
value; that the poor are not getting
poorer, out on tne contrary are snarm
with the rich the great prosperity an
added progress that ths last century
has brought; that the nationalisation of
tana is an attack on private ownership
ana carriea to its logical conclusion
questions a man's right , to himself or
even to Jiis bones,'- that the theory
mat iaDor is a source or wealth leadd
Inevitably to the conclusion that a man
has a right to the result of his labor.
which he may either consume, save or
give away.
In conclusion Mr. Sharp said that
while evils are apparent in the present
industrial system, he Is of the opinion
that they cannot be cured by any social
istic scheme, but by overcoming tha
evil which is in the heart of man.
"Sin." he said, "Is-at the root of tbe
evils and we shall not begin to cure
until with the eye of faith ws 'be
hold the Lamb of God which taketh
away the sin of the world.' "
