Councilman A. G. RuBhIIght this

mayor, this being hie first ornciai an
, noun cement though he stated nearly si I
months ago that he Would s make the
' mayoralty race and has ever since then-
visiting voters In all parte of the city,
Simultaneously with his filing of no
tice of intention in mo eny auauor
office today. Mr. Rushlight made public
; liia platform. In this he strongly em
, - phaslxes the fact that he Is free from
. an corporate Influence and will.. If

public to the best of his ability, with
out having any ante-electlon promises

ing his freedom of action curtailed or
tied up.
, Sars ice's Qualified.
He promises. If elevated to the may
- erelty, to give the people an honest and
efficient administration, and says he Is
-out fer-the-nomlnatlon. as He pas1 been
from the beginning. "Irrespective of
, ' who' "runs, or who stays, believing as I
-do that T am qualified to fill the of
fice." Following la Mr. Rushlight's
platform In full:
"To the voters of the City of Portland
"Having filed my Intention to seek
the Republican nomination for mayor
of the cltjrof Portland, and being de
vpendent upon the whole people for my
success, I believe It my duty to, at the
outset, present to you some of the
' principles for which I stand.
"i will, to the utmost of my ability,
practice economy, so that the taxpayer
' may -be released, at least In part, from
a constantly Increasing burden. ,
"I will absolutely oppose the giving
by vacation, or otherwise, of any city
vproperty, street, or any special privi
lege to any corporation, or Individual,
except there 1st given to. the city ample
v compensation therefor.
"i will prevent the extension of the
'water system to any . unoccupied tract
., or addition, no matter what Income may
, - be guaranteed on the cost, as long as
i any populated district shall need water.
"I am in favor of Increasing the fa
' cllity Of travel between the east and
' the west sides of the river, and to that
end will honestly cooperate with ' the
people In 'securing transit between the
j two sections of the city.'. .- .? .
Another contribution to the literature
tot the mayorullty campaign was fur
i nlshed yesterday by J, E. Werleln. His
platform- has a mild flavor and lacks
, the Insurgent tinge which runs through
the appeals of Rushlight and Lombard.
lie dwells principally, on economy and
'administrative reforms.
Werteia. is Mild. ,
. On one point only does Werleln ap-
parently - cross the path ; of Mayor Si
mon. This Is In giving a pledge that
' he will never give his aid to the vaca-
tion of a Street, but will let the people
. themselves r decide upon It. He eays
' he would submit to the voters on initla
tlve "all such matters as. have merit In
-them" on this line. Property of the
--.city should be held In trust, he save,
until other, disposition Is ordered by
direct vote of the people.
, Werleln praises the police department,
pronouncing it as fine as any In the
country, but says there is room for
great improvement. He says he would
hae the . , patrolmen storehouses of
- knowledge In reference to city laws
- and beld responsible for all violations
on their respective beats. .
The fire department ' is likewise
f praised, but Portland is stated not to
receive the service to which It Is en-

The lack of foresight of Oeorge La
Verne In not taking the cap of a foun
tain pen from the room of Peter John
son, a Mount Angel resident who was
brutally assaulted yesterday morning
was responsible for his arrest and for
the. fact that Jie Is now charged with
assault and robbery.
Johnson was assaulted at an early
hour, and after being beaten into in
sensibility was robbed of $25.- Detec
tives Tlchenor and, Ho well who were as
signed to the case yesterday searched
La Verne's room and found a part of a
fountain pen which fitted exactly to a
pen cap found In the pool of blood In
which Johnson was found lying. The
arrest of La Verne followed. ,
By a strange coincidence, another man
by the name of Johnson has been
robbed at the Foster hotel J. P. John
son of -Chehalls reported early this
morning that .he had been robbed of a
purse containing $85, while he was
partially drunk.
Shortly afterward Patrolmen Vessey

Second and Burnslde quarreling over
the division of some money, and a little
eave-dropping brought out the fact that

the excuse that he was taking 16 to
save Johnson from being robbed.
O. W. Fldler, Dixon's companion, waa

for robbery. Before the men had quar
reled over the division of the spoils.

MINISTER PROTESTS
AGAINST QUARANTINE
In a letter addressed to City Health
Officer C. H. Wheeler today. Rev. A: J.
Adams, pastor of the Kern Park Chris
tian church, declares he has been f ut
to useless expense for medical services
because of the quarantine of hia wife
and daughter for scarlet fever. He
says deputies from the health office
ordered the quarantine three weeks ago
and stated at the time that develop
ments of the contagion would be noted
in the little Adams girl's case within a
few days. The minister says those de
velopments have so far failed to de
velop and that three doctors and trained
nurses have said there is "nothing to
the scarlet fever diagnosis."
The letter writer asks Dr. Wheeler to
make a personal investigation of the
case. -

Onnw with Bats.
The question Of protection frm .
diseases has been agitated for some time :
by Dr. Wheeler, city health officer. He
has been lnvestigs ting conditions, and
found there was hot enough precaution
taken. While Harbormaster Speler tries
to examine each, ship that enters the
harbor, bis force of men Is not large
enough to insure a good inspection of
each vessel.
The Rygja recently arrived in nnrt
and . an Investigation showed it was
overrun with rats. Men were set tn
work killing them, and tha boat waa
fumigated. This condition brought the
attenUon of the health authorities to
the necessity for Immediate action, and
a conference was held one evening last
ween. The question of handling the
campaign was of such magnitude that
the men came to the conclusion that the
county and state should loin hands and
finance the matter. It was also advis
able to employ men whose duty Is to
enforce the law in regard to unloading
ships, and center their attention, on
the prevention of diseases.
Great Sanger Seen.
The physicians told the county court
this morning that rats easily carried
bubonic plague and other, foreign dis
eases, which If started here would
cause much troubla While there have
been no cases of this kind . reported, ,
the physicians and officials declare it Is
time to take steps to prevent them..
The plan Is for the county to employ
three men to look after this question.
Their duty will be to see that all boats
put out their rat guards, anchor no less
than six feet from the shore line, and
fumigate the boats. . All ballast will
also be examined and fumigated. i
County Judge Cleeton . and. Commis
sioners Ligbtner and Hart said they
would agree to any plan formulated by
the physicians. They agreed that there
was danger of troubles, and that now Is
the time to check It The three county
officials told the physicians to proceed
with whatever plans they considered ad
visable, and report to the court This
will be done at once.
