Present Postmaster Passing
k Around Petition for In
f dorsemeiit by Business
j Men At Outs With Sen-
ator Bourne.
,Johm W. Mlnto, Portland's present
' ostmaster, wants to hold bis Job tor
Mother four years In spite of the fact
that he IS not of the political camp.of
Penetor Jonathan Bourne, who baa the
Job to give. In order to strengthen his
chances Mr. Mlflto Is now circulating a
petition among: the business men, which
document Indorses bis administration or
the office and recommends that he be
retained as the chief mall custodian of
" the municipality. . . ,
' iBut Mr. Mlnto is not the only can
didate by any manner of means. There
are others-and among them .the strife
Is growing sharp and keener as the tlmo
for Senator Bournes advent in the city
draws near. One of the others is L. H.
Adams, business partner of Senator
Bourne and two years ago his stanch
. legislative supporter during the etrenu-
ous days of the Bourne campaign.
Mr. Adams has been one of the can
didates for appointment by i Senator
Bourne for some .time. He wanted the
Job maybe before he went to the legis
lature, but gave place, for a, time, to
John B. Coffey, who was the house whip
and right hand man or trie uourne coi
. limn In the Multnomah delegation dur
ln- the session of 1907. Mr. Coffey,
however,-old not seem to fall Into the
familiar graces of Senator Bourne, and
' so Mr. Adams went after the plum.
A...W. Orton, who has. been one-of the
tnueh talked of candidates for the speaK
. crahin .of thfc-'heit home. Is also an
; aspirant for the postmasterahip. It was
heralded that Orton was vthe Bourne
candidate for .the speakership. Lately,
however. It has been contended that Mr.
' Orton would gladly step out Of the race
' as soon as any other Statement No. 1
. candidate showed . as much or more
strength. In recent days Orton. has been
laying plans for- securing Mr, Mlnto's
iob and It is expected that In that task
e will be aided by Thomas McCnsker,
a Bourne 'lieutenant, who was men-
lnn4-fnr lha nlSee but who -contends
. that ho would not have It on a silver
.- platter,
Fred 3. Brady, another of the State
. irtent No. 1 members of the nextlegls-
. . lature, is also said to be angling lor
. the Mlnto job. Because of Brady's ap
pearance as a candidate it Is said tnat
triers ts a good deal of rivalry between
him and Orton, each thinking that the
other should get out of the .way and
crtand aside while the lucky one gave
. the clad hand to . the senator wnen ne
reaches his home city. --
Also in the list is John B. Coffey. Mr,
Coffey fell from grace In the Bourne
camp soon after the last legislature for
some mystej-ious reason, but his applica
tion lor-tne jou Doing acknowledged oj
fvenator Bourne In "the laconic message
"Tour communication has been, receivea
and ftlaruut Ml flta." .
Since ; that time Mr. Coffey has
changed his views regarding Statement
) No. I -and Is now an anti-statement
; member of the legislature, standing on
a. platform exactly opposite to that
-ehosen at his former campaign, It Is
rot believed that he will be very cor
dially received by the senator when the
latter reaches Portland, but still it is
believed that r volley win urge upon
Senator Bourne the political debt owing
to Coffey as s result of his pro-Bourne
activities , two .years ago, and as ; yet
However the scramble. turns out It Is
certain that Senator Bourne will be the
center -of an- admlrlng-drde of -potential
postmasters when . he reaches the
Oregon metropolis, ; each and every ' one

JAIL HOUSES SIX
CHARGEDWITHMURDER
14 DEATHS. BUT
ONLV 3 RECORDS
At a meeting of the health board, this
morning City Health Officer Dr. Esther
C. Pool reported that but three cases of
pulmonary, tuberculosis", had been , re
ported to the health department In Au-
fust, whereas 14 -deaths from the same
isease were noted on the 'death cer
tificates. Dr. Pohl stated that she was
at a loss to understand where the extra
cases came from unless te physicians
in attendance had neglected to ..report
them.
Dr. Pohl stated that. such failure only
serves to spread the disease and does
not afford the health department an
opportunity to fumigate and properly
'pare for the public health.
INO action was xaxen oy mo rawru
in regard to the matter, but It Is ex-
Fee ted that at its next session, when a
ull - attendance is present, .the city
health jaff leer - will be - Instructed to
prosecute all such physicians who fail
to report such cases to. the health de-
fiartment. In that pulmonary tubercu
osis claims a large number of - persons
each month, the Jaoard Is desirous of
doing all in Its power to stamp out .the
disease within the city. This cannot
be done, they feel, unless all the phy
sicians In the city aid the department
in carrying out the work. '
Other business which came before the
board this mornJnjr, related to routine
matters such as approving the monthly
Bayrolls of the department and estimat
ig the expenses.
