The want of prop- , r rapreeentatlon la keenly felt at this 1 1 mat, and It la alarming to contemplate th return of tha present councilman by reason of a division of the force seeking hla recall. If we can concen trata on one candidate e need fear no concorn ovar tha reault, and It la for Uila purpose I make an appeal to all good cttlsens to support James Magulre. Irrespective of any peraonal regard for any other candidate In tho field. For ' eome of tha other opponents of Mr. Ellla I entertain high retard, hut propose to sink and subordinate every consideration except the best Interest Of the ward. ;" "Tula man Ellla is of small and ego. tlstlcal calibre and has accompllahed nothing except to establish himself as a boaster and pretender. He haa sent to the voters a letter and statement In which he makea many claims of things accompllahed during hla term but those who have noted hla record know his pretensions sre sham. He has been In duced to submit to the people a mis ' leading charter amendment which. If . enacted, will throttle the small home owner and give to the real paving trust an actual monopoly in the city, and to corrupt councilman wider range for craft. "A great body of the Tenth ward vot - era have centered on James Magulre, who haa real Interest in tho ward and whose long residence and standing in the ward carries assurance that we will not be misrepresented In the city gov. eminent. Mr. Magulre was chosen a member of the new Port of Portland, a body of first importance in the de velopment of the city and atate. He has the confidence of his fellow mem bora of that board. Hia integrity Is attested by his business standing and reputation. We can center on him with the assurance that eur confidence will ;not be misplaced. A vote for Magulre is a vote for the Tenth ward and the City." State Inspector. Finds Track and Roadbed Flawless; Steel Cars Save Passen gers; R. R's Blame Tanks.

Perley says If the equipment had con sisted of wooden cafa the reault prob ably would have been more dlvaatrous and the train would probably have been deatroyed by fire. Not a alngle car tel racoped, as all were eteel. Perley found the track equipment without a flaw. The wreck occurred In a deep cut where thefo was seven degreea of curve, but the track waa elevated five Inches and the rails were held by modern tie-plates with four spikes at each plate. These were not damaged at the place of derail ment Railroad officials believe the larger, higher water tanks used on the new train may have had something to do with the wreck. It Is recalled that the Great Northern experienced similar wrecka when the Oriental Limited start ed. Investigation showed that when the large tanks were partially filled with water, the fluid would rush to one aide when the train was rounding a curve, causing the tender to lift and leave the rails. sf: cy;.V ; ;.- m STAG E TEAM RUNS .

WORKINGMEN'S CLUB i SEES JOKER IN ELLIS PAVING MEASURE . .Declaring' that the Ellis Initiative 'measure for competitive paving will result in granting a virtual monopoly to one paving company Instead of bringing competition Into the city's paving busi ness, a resolution was adopted by tho 'Worklngmen's Political club at Its meeting at 205 First street Wednes day evening, stating that this measure was not for the benefit of the people, Th club, of which T. Smith of the Longshoremen's union Is president, called attention In the resolution to the clause of the measure providing that all specifications must Include one non patentable" kind of pavement. It la this clause, which. It Is said, will work to the advantage of one paving ron cern. The resolution Is aa follows: "Whereas, there will appear on the ballot to be voted upon June 6, an Inl ' tlattve measure which if adopted by the voters will generally change the pro ceedlngs for the Improvements of V.gtreets and will give to the . council greater power than Is now granted, and "Whereas, said measure was proposed by Councilman Ellis and has been her alded by him as a so-called competitive paving ordinance, whereas in fact said measure provides that all specifications must Include one "non patentable" kind, nd whereas the only paving company with a "non patentable" pavement Is the Barber Asphalt company, and this company has control of all asphalt beds tn Trinidad and California, and control and monopolises all the asphalt In the world, and "Whereas, said measure takes from the executive board and gives to the council power to determine who shall be the lowcHt responsible bidder, and further gives the power to deprive the lowest bidder of the right to be awarded the contract on the ground that said lowest bidder Ik not responsible, there by adding cost to the property owners, "Be it therefore resolved, that we are opposed to said measure and believe the same to be In the interest of the paving efionopoly and not for the benefit of the people." Mts. L. E. Juston. of 115 Union ave nue north, at 7 o'clock last night, ran down and injured Elmer Benson, an Hawaiian Western Union messenger boy at the corner of Third and Oak streets.

FIRE CHIEF CONQUERS BLAZE ALL BY HIMSELF recollection whether he was sworn or not when testifying before' the council Investigating committee. During the cross-examination extend ing over tho greater part of two days, Tupper displayed remarkable self- control and memory. State's counsel stated that Tupper had undergone an operation at Hot Springs, that the wound re-opened Friday night. Despite the pain Tupper grlttlly remained on the stand, asking to be excused but twice. Friday afternoon late he was excused, and again this morrdng he was excused lor i minutes. i nat nls 111 ness has not Impaired his mentality was continually exhibited In sharp ex changes between W. It. Morris, council for the defendant, nnd the witness... At no time did Tupper permit blm self to be trapped Into making; admis sions contrary to his testimony in di rect examination and his quickness in divining the ulterior purpose of many of Morris' questlons and answering In an unexpected manner caused much backing and filling on the part of counsel for the defense. Morris' at tempts to Impeach the reliability of the witness by attempting to elicit an swers showing that Tupper testified as he did before through fear of arrest or promises of Immunity, were repeatedly answered in a way that produced con fusion. Asked If he did not sign a statement Implicating the defendant when he was called to confer with Detective Burns and Prosecutor Murphy, upon threats or rromlses, Tupper answered that he decided that he could not go before the grand Jury and perjure himself and get anything by 1t. Big "Job of Lying-." Tupper also admitted that his testi mony before the council Investigating committee waa the biggest Job of lying he had ever done. John II. Arrjyins, former proprietor of the big Casino crib house, followed Tupper on the stand. He told of going to Mayor Gill nnd attempting to secure permission to open up, and Gill referred him to Wap pensteln. About two weeks after he had opened his house with F. J. Long as manager, ne swere that the house was ordered closed and that he, accompanied by Long, visited Wappensteln's office to discover the cause He swore that Wappensteln's opening remark to them was. "What are you trying to run down I here a barorair. counter?" Took Money Along-. Prior to visiting the chief, he testi fied, he had secured money to take along and that upon the conclusion of the conference he had whispered to Long regarding the money and that Wappensteln had said "Never mind that." He said that the conference took place at about 1 o'clock In the after noon and that Wappenstjln had In structed Long to return at 6 o'clock the same afternoon. F. J. Long swore that he had re turned and had a talk with Wappen Mein who advised him to see Tupper. He went to Tupper and as tne rant were paying money, he was perfectly willing to, too. He testified that Tup per cut htm off short and that he had never paid htm any money. In refer ence to the complaint that he was cut ting prices hy reducing the room rent to women, Lonu swore that Wappen stein had told him to fix thai matter or he would put all crib houses out of buslneM.x. Asked how he happened to go to Tupper, he said h had gone to get lined up like the rest of them" and be-, cause Wapuenstein had told him to. Freddie Spauldlng. Freddie Spalding, the little fellow on crutches who is seen every afternoon at Seventh and Washington streets sell- ng Journals, has all the elements of a hero In his brave little heart. Fred lost a leg two years ago and now makes his way about with the. aid of a pair of crutches. When seven years old he fell from the sidewalk .In his home town, Salem, and broke his leg. Blood poison set in and the limb had to come off. One day after Fred got well he dp clded that he must have an artificial leg. Wooden legs cost money $100 which Is a good Oat of money for a small boy, with but one leg, to make Nothing daunted, however, Fred came to Portland and went to. selling Journ als and makes an average of f 1.76 to 12 a day.
