J-
Kprtug CMeksns Are Coming.
There Is a slight increase In the sup
plies of spring chickens In the local
market at this time. The position of
the market is very good; the slightly
Increased un being quickly absorbed
iy the trade at the prices quoted In to
day's Journal. The general position
Of the poultry market is quite good at
these figures, although for a time last
week It. looked as if a low level of
values was -to rule the present ' week.
The trade realises that the present price
of chickens is Just, and most receivers
are therefore quite willing to accept
these figures at the moment.' The mar
ket will stand quite a fair lot of
dressed or live turkeys at this time. ,
Eggs Are Quoted Pinner.
There is a somewhat firmer tone In
the egg market at this time, and sales
are being made more, easily around the
prices listed here. 1 Receipts are de
creased somewhat from last week,, and
the call for storage is causing scant
supplies along the street. Even the
larger receivers are short of eggs and
have been-borrowing-or buying a ease
here and there from their neighbors In
order to fill their orders.
, Batter Going to tie Worth. .
Quite heavy shipments of butter are
reported moving in the direction of
Puget sound cities and British Columbia,
Outside creameries report many orders
from these sources during the past few
day's, and city ceamerles Jiave plenty of
business to keep their trade price
healthy. Locally the butter market is
In good shape, with prices being main
tained better than for some time.
Cheese market continues to show In
creasing arrivals, but the market re
mains steady to firm at former Vices.
Strawberries BtlU scarce, -
Strawberries are still scarce along
Front street, and the market is firm
with values ruling between $2 and $2.25
for California stock. The high price Is
for JeBsies and the low one for Dollars.
Local berries are' showing a .'slightly
Increased supply, - with quality still
checking sales. During the past 24
hours some were moved at 80o a box,
but most that came sold at 25c.
Asparagus Zs lower.
Low prices are named on asparagus
v by Front street merchants. Receipts
from local points on tne wesi siae, are
somewhat heavier and duality is getting
better. . The bulk of the local arrivals
are moving at 76o per dosen ouncnes,
although for a select lot as high as 80c
has been obtained.
Bop Trade at Xiow Ebb.
While an occasional trade is still re
ported in the hoo market around 8 and
I Ho a pound: the market is generally
considered nominal. Brewers seem to
have purchased all the hops they can
find warehouse room for, or spare the
money to purchase, and present sales
are mostly to eastern speculators who
ere willing to take a chance at prevail
ing low figures.
Brief Betes of the Trade.
Tomatoes continue very scarce.
String beans are arriving somewhat
more freely from California. Priced at
18c a pound.
A car of cabbage arrived from tioa
Angeles this morning. Best at $8.
Several cars of bananas were reported
in good condition today.
Cherries are quite plentiful, with de
mand slow around tl and 11. 50 a box.
Fish run on the upper Willamette Is
quite fair, but catch on Columbia is
still small. ....

WAR FOR RIGHT
OF THE PEOPLE
A. King "Wilson, Statement
No". 1 Candidate, Hakes
. Strong Hea.
Democrats' of ' Multnomah county
opened the campaign of their party
last night with a rousing meeting at
Jones' hall In South Portland. A num
ber of the candidates for office were
the speakers of the evening, and .these
outlined their policies and urged their
reasons for election. John Montag pro
sided at the meeting.
E. 8. J. McAllister was the first
speaker, and he urged the election of
Tom Word .for sheriff and John Man
ning for district attorney; -
A. King Wilson, Democratic nominee
for joint representative from Clacka
mas and Multnomah county, was the
next speaker. He made a strong plea
for his candidacy on the ground that
he was making the race on a straight
Statement No. 1 platform and is run
ning in opposition to. C. N. McArtbur,
who is opposed to Statement No. 1. The
speaker contended that it Is not so
much a question of the personality or
the party of a legislative candidate. It
was the question of whether the people
should rule or the bosses should come
back Into their own. The people had
declared for the direct election of
United States senators and the machine
leaders had been attempting to make
them swallow the declaration ever since
that time. The present legislative fight
was a fight for the right of the people
to' rule.
Others who made short addresses
were Oglesby Toung, candidate for
railroad, commissioner; Ed Cahalln, for
justice of the peace; Tom Word, for
sheriff; John Manning, for district at
torney, and John A. Jeffrey, candidate
for congressman from the second dis
trict Tonight the second rally of the cam
paign will be held at Lodell's hall. Sev
enteenth and Thurman streets. The
addreises will be made by practically
the same list of Speakers as those of
the meeting last night

'S GUILT
Gliief Gritzmacher Congrat
ulates Detectives on Good
Work in Capture.
Chief Gratzmacher Is satisfied that
Martin is the man guilty of the mur
der of Nathan Wolff and etated yes
terday morning before he decided to
make Martin's name public, that he
knew the man who did the work and
was as certain of his guilt as he was
of anything. Chief Gritzmacher said:
. "We know who killed Wolff and all
we have to do now is to find the man.
The evidence we have is sufficient to
convict this man if we get him. He has
not been seen since Sunday night and
we do not know whether he Is still in
the city or not. However, we know the
man."
Later, after a conference with Cap
tain Baty, Chief Gritzmacher authorized
the released of Martin's name and' Cap
tain Baty made public many of the
facts found against the man. Chief
Gritsmaoher and Captain Baty took oc
casion at the time of congratulating
the detectives engaged on the case for
the excellent work they had done and
said that the department has never
ferformed a better piece of work than
n running down Martin as the man .who
killed Wolff.
The detectives employed on the case
besides captain Baty. who was In charge
of the work, were Tom Coleman, Johnny
Price, Howell, Tlchenor, Jones, Ma
loney, Hellyer. All of these men
worked faithfully and at times went
without sleep and food for many hours
at a time.
When the call came in yesterday as
to Martin's movements. Captain Moore,
Clerk James Hunter and other office
men were on - the jump until Martin
was brought in by the patrol wagon.
Driver Gruber made a record run to the
place where Martin was arrested at
Union avenue and East Morrison
street

AKC AT WILL
BOURNE MUST
TELL FOB TUFT
Fulton Will Lead Delegates
to Republican National
Convention.
Senator Bourne can go to Chicago as
a delegate to the national convention if
he will swallow an Indorsement of W.
H. Taft, If not be can sit on the bleach
ers and watch Senator Fulton lead the
Oregon band to the meeting plaoe. This
is according to the plans of the Fulton
men who have been chosen as delegates
to the state convention which is to meet
in the Empire theatre May 14.
Fulton's friends are confident that
they now have enough delegates in line
to control the state convention and thetr
control means a delegation to the na
tional convention instructed first and
laat for Taft. It also means that
Charles W. Fulton Is their choice for
chairman of the delegation.
According to the present program the
Fulton men wijl elect both Senator Ful
ton and Bourne as members of the dele
gation. They will instruct the delega
tion for Taft and be sure that the deie-
fates are men who will put Fulton at
he head of the eight men as their
chairman and spokesman. Senator
Bourne can go along provided he will
be good and not raise a rumpus. To
make sure that there will be no slip
the state convention will Instruct the
delegation and will" see to It that the
delegates are those who stay Instructed.
John C. Young, manager of Senator
Bourne's efforts to control the conven
tion, is much disgruntled and is work
ing all wires to nold Bourne's friends
in the convention in line. Ih this he Is
looking to W. M. Cake and H. M. Cake,
chairman of the state central commit
tee and senatorial randldata, for aid. If
the Cakes do not deliver the convention
there will be trouble from Bourne's di
rection, and Cake will be Introduced to
the Bourne snub when election day
cornea
In the meantime the friends of Ful
ton and those of Bourne are working
feverishly for the control of the con
vention. After the convention, no mat-,
ter which way the wind blows, there will
be a largo rift in the Republican lute
and the song of harmony will be marred
with many discordant notes. -
