,Tolltlcs Is tha great factor that !
r eaming th uncertainty and unrest in

- This conclusion is reached toy Edward
. Cookingham, vice president of the Ladd
A Tllton bank, after conferring with
many of the leading financiers of the
financial centers of th east. Mr. Cook
Ingham had been east to attend the
commencement of Princeton university,
from which his oldest ton was gradu-
" ated, and has Just returned.
'"I conferred with most tf the proml-

"and found uneasiness and uncertainty
: In financial and Industrial circles quite
i'; a large proportion of which Is attribut
. able to the political situation. Nearly
all . of the prominent financiers with
whom I talked, in response to my in

much politics.'
"Xttese men were unanimous In their
view that there was no panic or crisis
In Immediate prospect, but the general
opinion seemed to prevail that the pres
ent uncertainty and quiet would con
tinue until after tho next presidential
- "Thers are, of course, other causes
besides political ones which add to the
general feeling of uncertainty and
which enhance the general Indisposition
of capital to either embark in new en
terprises or to make use of .the large
amount of funds now on hand in the
financial centers for any purposes ex

system, which is so far Inferior to
European systems that It seems re
markable that the foremost nation of
the world In wealth. Industrial develop
ment and enterprise should be content
to go along with such an inferior and

'' tern.
"My own belief Is that a public sen
timent will have to be created through
the instrumentality of the mercantile
bodies In the various cities and towns
of the country in order that congress
may be brought to understand that the
proposed revision of our monetary laws
Is not a scheme of the bankers to bene-

country will receive even more sub-

banks themselves."
. As Mr. Cookingham is president of
: the Portland Clearing House association
It is likely he will back up his beliefs
In regard to arousing sentiment by se
curing soma action on the part of the
association which will lead to a defi

Chief Cox has said goodbye as head
of the poTlce department.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Captain
Slover will be officially Installed as
acting chief of police. With this
knowledge at hand this morning, the
retiring chief appeared before the of
ficers of the second night relief as the
officers were reporting off, and In a
short address thanked them for faith
ful service.
Ho admonished them to be true to
their new chief, their captains and ser
geants and to themselves. Ila compli
mented them on their condueC as offi
cers. "There have been many among you
who have been faithful friends to me
and you especially do I want to thank.
This is the last time I shall appear
before you as your chief and I bid you
all farewell, good luck and thank you."
The patrolmen resDOnded with hearty
applause and there were not a few who
showed deep regret at the passing of
the Cox rale.
Chief Cox has refrained from issu
ing any orders regarding the celebra
tion of tomorrow.
'Captain Slover will likely be chief
this afternoon and it is his province to
Issue orders," he said. "However, If he
should not be installed as chief before
tomorrow 1 shall issue orders to the
effect that Portland shall enjoy a sane
tourtn. a city ordinance covering that
point was passed last year and I shall
see to It that the' ordinance is lived
up to If I remain here."
Chief Cox visited the office of Mayor
Rushlight a few minutes after noon to
day to tender his resignation. Mayor
Rushlight promptly accepted the resig

chief, who went downstairs to the city
auditor's office, drew his salary war

For the purpose of instilling into the
minds of the people the value of Irish
history. Professor M. Njtoban of the
Marquette university If Milwaukee,
Wis., and chairman of thi Irish histoTy
movement for the United States and
Canada, will deliver aft Illustrated lec
ture tonight at the W. O. W. hall.
Professor Rohan was prominently
mentioned for president or the Ancient
Order of Hibernians at he convention
held in this city last year, but was un
able to accept the position because of
his connections with the university.
The plan of the Irish history move
ment Is to place in all schools where
Irish , predominate a mil historical
sketch of Ireland from 1000 years ago
down to date. Heretofore the Irish his
tory has been linked with that of Eng
land, and the organisation believes that
the country la deserving of separata dls
tlnctlon.
.."Immigration from Ireland to Amer
ica has nearly stopped," said Professor
Rohan this morning.
Prises Awarded.
"This is due to the fact that the Irish
people are gradually securing possession
of the land In the country and are no
longer slaves. If home rule Is given
the country, which now seems certain.
It will mean that there will be no more
Immigration to America and that the
Irish wljl once more be a free people.
"During the past tnree years," con
tinued Professor Rohan, "the organiza
tion of which I am chairman has placed
histories in 500 schools, 14 colleges and
7 universities. It Is Interesting to know
that the German people' as well as those
of other countries take kindly to the
Innovation and welcome any new lights
on history that the new books afford,
"In Milwaukee many German students
took prizes offered by tne society for
excellence In Irish history."
Lecture la Free.
The movement has a representative
in each state, Oregon being represented
by Deputy District Attorney Frank Col
lier, succeeding J. Hennessy Murphy,
who works to the end that the schools
of the state adopt the Irish history as a
study.
Professor Rohan states that Milwau
kee, which Is 52 per cent German popu
lation, has' the largest division of Hi
bernians in the world, and as an in
stance of their loyalty he cites that a
seller of old Irish laces who wan In
the city for the purpose of raising
money to prosecute the home rule cause
sold more laces in Milwaukee than any
other city in the world, showing, he
says, that the citizens take kindly to
the cause.
Tie lecture tonight is free. Over 100
pictures will be shown, which were
taken under the direction of Professor
Rohan during his visit to Europe three
years ago. They are said to be the
fines! pictures ever ,taken of the beau
ties of the Emerald Isle.
From Portland Professor Rohan will
go to San Francisco, an Jose and Los
Angeles. He gave his lecture in many
cities between this city, and Milwaukee,
but states that Portland Is the finest
city of them all.
