rU Glavls, former special agent Jn the
United States land office, offered his
wife a permanent government Job and
ettwrnev's fees If she -would consent

bribe set forth In, the ,rworn statement
of Mrs. Maud E. Glavla 'filed today in
" th superior court . i--:.,.:.,-:,
Mrs. Glavis Is now In Washington,
but says that If her husband had sent
hpr sufficient funds, Instead .of offer
(tiff her government positions to leave
him. she would now be In ber home
near Portland. It was this aislre. she
say, to return to her own that caused
Mrs. Glavls to turn down her husband's
offers of lobs without inquiring how
Glavls could back up his . promise, of
unlimited federal patronage.
Action Began last -Winter.
Glavls began divorce action last
winter, but has not seen fit to file his
complaint and his attorneys have re
fused to date to Intimate his allegation
on the ground that it is none of the
public's business. In the Interroga
tories propounded to Mrs. Glavls, her
brother and sister, special Stress Is put
upon the theory of desertion, which she
strenuously denies.
Mrs. Glavls says she married the
fo:-mer land office agent in Baltimore,
In March. 1905, and immediately came
we-rt with him. '
She states that she left Portland De.
cenber 29, 1907, to go to the bedside
In Washington of her dying father John
P. M. Flaas, who passed away on Feb
ruary t. 190S.
Would Guarantee Position. -
"On February 6, 1908," says Mrs., Gla
vls, "j received a, letter rrom my nus
hand, in .which he said hd wanted to
ru'Ite the separation final,, and that, he
;111 not see why he should mar both
our, lives. I replied that I would not
listen to his proposition for a divorce
and said that I wanted to come and
live with him as his wife. -
'I always have been willing and ready
to do that. He wrote me another letter
saying that a divorce eold e obtained
on the grounds of desertion after one
ye:ir; He said he would guarantee me
a atovernment position if I would con
sent to a divorce and would pay all at
torney's fees. He did not want to give
me alimony, but was. willing to make
a ( ash settlement., j- 7'T"-V :', '
.V'l wrote him every day for about a
Bj.;nth, ant repeatedly told him that I
. wr, Ud not consent to a divorce, that I
willing and anxious to forgive him
tnr retain my place as his wife. He
ret Hed that my letters were ot no
avail, that ,he. wanted to , be free.
"He threatened to desert me and not
-;rpert me If I returned to Portland
trvm Washington. He did not send me
enough money to return and when later
he was In Washington he did not call
ur-m me. I saw him one day at the
ca-jltol and had a business conversation
v-Uh him."'

ing teamster, wai nearly killed yester
day afternoon by missiles thrown from

undergoing construction at the corner of
Eighteenth and Flanders streets.
Lanaker "was unloading lumber for
use in the interior finishings of the
buildings when a block of wood came
whirling down. Some trees stand be
side - the building, and as the- block
passed through the leaves Its direction
was affected, and Instead ot striking
Lanaker it passed close to his head.
An instant later a piece of iron fol
lowed, the direction of this missile also
being disturbed when it passed through
the tree. However.- it struck Lanaker a
glancing blow on the head. Inflicting a
bad scalp wound.
The special officer who accompanies
Lanaker on his deliveries rushed into
the building, but all men employed on
the -work denied knowing who thaw at

were made, and that was. in the case
ot Judge It It Northup, Who slipped
in on the ticket
Six Wot nominated. -
Six candidates for the house of rep
resentatives were not nominated, be
cause of lack of time, and this remaln-
ing. portion of the elate will be fixed up
at an , adjourned meeting of the con
vention to he , held Monday night, at
the same place.at 8 o'clock. Since the
slated candidates ;, of.v the corporation
committee lead thes remaining candl
dates, It Is safe to presume that they
will b lifted onto the ticket tomorrow
night providing the corporations keep
their nerve and the delegates do not
get scared and afraid to stand up to
the gaff. -"''.-''.
Not in recent years, and seldom In the
years 'gone by, have. the people of Mult
nomah county - seen so . wellrolled ad
smooth-running a convention. ' In the
good old days there were contests In
the convention, cases where men tried
to break In-over, the fences that, were
bullded up about the chosen few. This
was seen In a few, instances yesterday
afternoon, but for the most part things
went through with a whoop, the only
trouble being the inability of Chairman
Stapleton to keep order long enough for
the result ot the balloting to be heard.
014 Warhorses There. . .
And not of recent years have the peo
ple of Multnomah county seen on exhibi
tion officially and in one day so many
of the old line warhorses champing at
the bits and breathing eloquence and a
desire to serve the great mass ot the
horny handed sons , of the soil as was
gathered together in "the Masonio Tern-
Die yesterday afternoon,
Wallace McCamant Bv F. Eddy, A. B.
ManleyV ChatStesk B." Moores, T. T Geer,
Major Kenrioay. -W. W., Banks, A. L,
Mills,. S. a Beach and a long list of the
other old warriors were in evidence,
Then there were" the smaller lights, such
as Charlie Lockwood. Jimmy Kertchem,
Max G. Cohen, W. M Barry. Sam Mason
and those renegades of the Statement
No. 1 camp, L.-D. Mahone and Fred
Brady. All were there eager for Ihe
fray.
The convention Opened In the after
noon with the report of the credentials
committee,-whleh threw the rival dele'
gationa from precinct 79 out ol the con
vention. alleging that the first delega-
tlon did not favor the convention plan,
and therefore would be a thorn In the
side of the gathering, and contending
that the second delegation had not been
legally elected.
tt.-i'V- Jars Convention.
This deprived the convention of the
presence and assistance of Lou D. cole,
one of the old time nenenmen or me
Simon machine wh was chairman of
the two meetings in precinct 79 and
who refused to sign the certificates of
the first meeting ratifying the election
of the delegates. ;"
i After the credential committee had
reported. A. L. Mills, president of the
First National ' bank, moved that the
temporary officer be made permanent
and this was done, so continuing George
W. Stapleton as chairman, David N. Mo
sessohn as secretary and Arthur Lang-
eruth as assistant secretary.
Tom Hislop Jarred the convention's
feelings a little bit by suggesting -that
the report of the committee on order of
business, presented by A. L. Mills, be
amended so that all the delegates to the
state convention be - selcted . from the
body of the convention, each ward being
given its proportional representation.
"Assembly Good Thing."
: W. "W. Banks came to the ' support of
Mr. Mills, however, and said that there
were any number of good men out
side the convention who wanted to go
to the state convention, and that they
wouldn't be allowed o go.
John T. Whalley, who has not been
very nromlnent politically since the
old time conventions went out of fash'
ion, assisted Mr. Banks. " He said that
according to the plan of the committee
on program the convention was to be
allowed to name ; approximately two
thirds of the state delegates, but that
the special committee of 13, one from
each ward and threa rrom tne county,
was to 'pick out a select list of dele
gates from outside the convention. Mr.
HIslop's amendment was snowed under.
Judge M. C George read the report
of the committee on resolutions, whioh
resolved that the assembly was a good
thing, pledged the support of all the
delegates to the nominees of the con
vention and Indorsed the admlnlstra-
tlon of, president Taft .;: ,
Insult to 'Candidates.
Dr. William Deveney introduced
resolution binding all unsuccessful can
dldates before the convention to sup
port the nominees ' of the convention,
but Chairman Stapleton said that' such
a resolution was an insult to the can
dldates, and the resolution was put on
the table.'
Then the convention began to enjoy
the program. William C. Bristol placed
Louis J. Clarke In nomination for Joint
senator from Multnomah, - Clackamas
and Columbia counties, and introduced
a resolution binding the delegation to
the state convention to his candidacy.
The nomination and the resolution was
seconded by E. B. Piper and went
through with a whoop unanimously.
Wallace McCamant nominated Jack
R. Latourette for Joint representative
from Multnomah and Clackamas coun-
A. M . M. . ' A.1 1L S
lies ma u was movea uiw. una nomi
nation be made - unanimous. This car
ried' with another -whoop though there
were some delegatea who howled during
the process and wanted to know who
Latourette was, anyhow. "We don
know him," they yelled, but as they did
not seem to be on the inside no atten
tlon was paid to them. ,
UoCamant Takes Floor.
Wallace McCamant again took' the
floor and nominated a man "young in
years but old In experience, who did not
vo'te for a Democrat for United States
senator, Clifton N. McArthur." This
nomination wad als6 shot through,
unanimously.
Then came the representative ticket
For this there were 30 nominations,
and after the ballots were cast the tell
era-retired tq.,.a, side room to count
them. This took all afternoon and was
completed so late that the convention
had to adjourn until tomorrow night

they were entrusted would be able to
have ample time to lnstruot their dele
gates how to vote, . ,
That the Instructions' were kept in
the main is shown by the result of thej
vote' Cast for the 30 nominees of the
convention. Only one man who was
not on the ticket was nominated, that
being Judge 1L H.' Northup, who was
favored by the convention because of
his long residence in th state and his
record with the oldtime men who made
up the bulk of the convention.
Beginning with the head or tne cor
poration slate, ; things went through
with a whoop until the list of represen
tatives was reached. :v s
.Clark If omlnated.
Louis G. Clarke was nominated by
the unanimous vote of the convention
for Joint senator from Multnomah,
Clackamas and Columbia counties. The
ratification of his nomination will be
demanded in, the state convention next
Thursday.
. At the last moment the slate makers
switched Dr. J. R. iWetherbee from
Joint representative and put Jack K.
Latourette in his place. This was done
because of th fact that Latourette is
a native of Oregon City, and was raised
in ' Clackamas county. , . It was consid
ered that he would be stronger for the
Joint position than as a candidate In
Multnomah county alone. . He received
the nomination without contest though
a few or the uninitiated demanded to
know who he was and where he cam a
from.
C. N. McArthur was -nominated tor
state senator without opposition, and
was given, the unanimous vote of. the
convention. Both Latourette and Mc
Arthur were, nominated by Wallace Mc
Camant who has offices in the Electrlo
building, and Is well knowij to those
wno louoweu ine conventions or - me
olden days. Clarke was nominated by
W.'C. Bristol. . -

Passing to the slate proposed for the
house of representatives, five out of the
12 men named were nominated and the
remainder ranked well toward the re
quired majority necessary fop nomina
tion. If the corporation "advisory com
mittee" keeps its lierve and stays In
the game until tomorrow night It 19
safe to presume that the remainder of
the Slate will be landed.
Those of the slate who were nomi
nated were Joseph W. Beveridge, R. S.
Farrell, Dr. J. It. Wetherbee, John C
McCue and Charles Hi Moores.
The vote received by the entire repre
sentative slate was as follows: H. D.

. John,' H. 'Gibson, a real "estate man
of the' north end of the county, who
spends most -of file time In Portland,
was chosen by the assembly forces to
aulda the steam roller . in - its . course.
When he named the committees he did
not give the anti-assembly forces rep
resentation, although a change of nine
votes in a total or is J wouia nave de
feated him for chairman' ana given

Makea,; Queer. JttuUng , '
Gibson 'reversed the ruling of Llvy
Stlpp, who as chairman of . the county
central committee presided In the 'early
stages of the meeting by holding that
if the members of a delegation present
from any 'precinct were va unit they
could vote the absentees the ame;way.
For instance, two delegates could cast
six -or eight votes representing ab
sentees but It the 'delegation were ' di
vided only those present were counted.
This operated to the advantage or tne
assembly forces and gave them abnor
mal strength after Gibson had the ma
chinery well oiled., .r-
Gibson, declared ; Out of order an
amendment offered by B. CV Carter,
whom he had- defeated for- chairman,
W which Carter sough to; place the
assembly on record against any nom
inations ; for county offices, s; He : de
clared a motion by Van Horn to ad
journ put of order until a ' protesting
roar for fair play went up. Then he
put the motion, and after a vociferous
chorus, of apparently equal "volume on
each aide,, declared it lost, . ...
: H Saoaxe Seal Promised.
One of the dramatlo moments of the
assembly ; cam when Chairman Gibson
ruled, the Carter amendment oujf of or
der. Carter, rushed to . within arm's
length of . the chairman, and Shaking
his finger In -the face of . the steam
roller engineer, shouted: ' '
"Tou promised .to give-us a square
deal, and you are not doing It"
Gibson calmly turned aside, recog
nized another speaker, and gave no
heed to a demand by Carter for an ap
peal from hla ruling.
The platform" committee, composed of
George Horton, 'chairman, W. A. Gar
ner, Ben Smith, H. S. Mount and C.
M. Lake, saved . Itself the trouble of
composition by adopting, with a few
slight changes, the fesolutions adopted
by the Marlon county assembly one
week earlier. The clause approving the
constitutional convention, adopted In
Marlon county, Was omitted, but the
bulk; , of the , resolutions followed the
Marlon text letter for letter... ; ti, i .

declared not to be in violation of the

The resolutions were declared carried on
a vive voce vote,, there" being a scatter
ing of "Noes," and many, not" voting.
Three resolutions offered by, anti-as
sembly members and smothered In com
mittee were loaded with fireworks. One
of these, which is a fair sample of all
three, was presented by J. W. Van Horn
of Oswego, and read as follows: '
. .-"Whereas, The direct primary law
provides the method by which political
parties subject to Its provisions must
nominate their party candidates . for
public .office,, and said law was made
by the people of Oregon to abolish the
evils of - boss rule and machine-made

"Whereas, ,We,i the-delegates to, the

In abiding by the laws of Oregon until
they are legally repealed or amended
In the manner provided by the constltu
tlon, and we believe the attempt to
nominate or make recommendations for
nominations for Republican candidates
for state or county offices is lllogal.
therefore, , ' ,. ,
Statement Men Protest.
Be It resolved, by the Republican
delegates so assembled, that on behalf
Of the' Republican party of Clackamas
county, we refuse to take part or lot
in acting as a representative body of
Republicans to make recommendations
of candidates for state or county of
fices, by sending delegates to the state
convention or assembly, or In any other
manner, and that we do here and now
adjourn finally and without delay,"
When O. W. Eastham moved for the
appointment of a, committee by the
chairman to confer with the precinct
delegations and make up a list of dele
gates to the state assembly, he made a
little harmony talk. He said he be
lieved there would be -little opposition
to this proposal by the anti-assembly
men, and said he himself was not In
favor of nominating a county ticket
Favors Direct Primary.
Van Horn replied, saying this was a
pretty speech. He wanted harmony; too,
but not at the expense of the direct pri
mary and Statement No. 1.
"I believe in the direct primary," be
said, "and do not think we should coun
tenance any effort on the part of th
machine to get back "Into power. There
la no question but that the predatory
Interests, the street railway, the electrio
light companies and th railroads are
favoring the assembly. There is no
question but Joe Simon and Harvey
Scott want to be back in power, and if
we go on with the assembly from one
year to another they will be back."
Carter said he came to the meeting
willing to concede aomethlng, and he
would offer no objection to the election
of delegates to the state assembly, He
said that would do no good and no harm,
as the people will pass on the wisdom
of. the assembly's action at the prl
marles. But he was opposed to a coun
ty ticket, and moved an-' amendmerit to
Eastham's motion to the effect that no
county ticket be named. Then followed
the ruling of the chairman, declaring
Carter out of order, - , - f
O. W. Eastham. M. J. Lee. J. T. Town
ley, J. W. Reed and William Soott were
named as the committee to select the
delegates to the state assembly. , The
result of this was a clever coup -on the
part of Eastham, who Is a candidate for
Joint senator from Clackamas and Mult
nomah. With the selection of. the dele
gates In his own hands,-.the chances of
C. G Huntley to capture Jth Claokamaa

and Ontario delegates maae up two
thirls of the assembly. Besides the
40 dulrgates there were 16 proxies, mak
ing 66 votea out of a possible 103.
However, these were not needed, as the

everything of importanc was voted upon
before the questions could arise.
C. II. Brown of Ontario, W. M. Jones
of Westfall and C.,0. Wilson of Nyssa
wero appointed to select the 16 "dele
gates to the etat assembly.

The amusing side of the convention
came , when Deputy District Attorney
Duncan asked what was to be done to
ward the recommendation and indorse
ment of .a senator and representative in
congress, In the hope of ending the
matter, Sherman McCullough Jestingly
stated that the party had no senators
and had noneed of t representative
This started the fun. s
.Ellis Has One Prienl '
Congressman Ellis had at least one
friend In the convention and that was
W. L. Gibson of Nyssa,- He wanted the
delegates to the state assembly in
structed to recommend. EM for relec
tlon, 'At once Colonel W.heeler Jumped
up and opposed Ellis, saying that he had
lost all th irrigation funds from this
district ' Gibson and Wheeler then went
after each 'other,- The gavel cama down
lively until BepiVsentatlv W, H- Brook
moved that Gibson's motion to instruct
th delegataa be laid on the table. It
was plain that the convention was op
posed to Ellis, for the vote auitting
the fight was unanimous.
This killed any Other 'recommenda
tions that might hav been made,, for
nothing was aald toward th choosing of
county or atate officers. .
m It Is said that the committee had
placed th indorsement of Ellis In the
resolutions, Vrhlch were adopted by the
assembly, i but when the ring leaders
caught the resolution before it was pre
sented they Induced the committee to
cross it out hoping, that the fight and
decision. -which- finally cm--tonight
might be averted. -
, Representative Brook saved th situ
ation by moving that the delegatea b
sent to the ;, atate assernblywitheut in
structions. v:-.rr :K '
fe Resolutions were passed opposing tne
creation of Otis county from Malheur,
Harney and Grant counties.
