To make owners of hotels, lodging
houses or similar places of business
police their own premises briefly this
Is the. plan. Jy which Governor West's
special prosecutor, H. M. Esterly, hopes
to remedy vice conditions In Portland.
- In pursuance of this plan Mr. Ester
ly will ask the city council to pass an
.ordinance drafted by the municipal vice
I commission to provide that the names of
the owners or those legally responsi
ble for the operation or maintenance of
'hotels and other places shall be placed
In a conspicuous place on such build
ings. "It Is my Intention," declared Mr. Es
'terly today, "to notify the owners of
buildings In which gambling, prostitu
tion or the illegal sale of liquor is al
I lowed that I have been informed of
such law violations and that such In
fringements of the law must be discon
tinued. Would Seek Injunctions.
"If after due notification I" find that
,the violations of the law continue I
hall apply to the circuit court of Mult,
nomah. county, for an Injunction re
straining the owner of the building In
each case from maintaining a public
nuisance. Then If the laws continue to
be violated the men against whom In
junctions have been Issued will be amen
able for contempt .of court. I believe
my plan is thoroughly practicable and
wl)I prove entirely successful.
The great difficulty with carrying It
into effect right now is that the names
of those who own buildings In which
the nuisances are maintained can be as
certained only by tortuous and slow
moving Inquiry. If the council passes
the ordinance recommended by the vice
commission, in regard to the posting of
owners' names my work will be greatly
facilitated.- v
MV; Esterly visited the city hall to
day to present his plan,. ,to the health
and police committee of the cftHcouni"

Task -Hard One.-- -----
There no- quorum of the five
members of the committee, however, and
the meeting was postponed. The spe

Candidate Resigns From. Both
v Republican and Progressive
Tickets So Far "as Electoral
Fight Is Concerned.
DECISION RENDERED BY
SECRETARY OF STATE
Can Only Be Candidate for
Senator; Result Pleases
the Taft Men.
Swift changes came late yesterday
afternoon In the electoral ticket situa
tion, whereby the name of Dan K'ellaher
has been effaced as a candidate for
elector on both the Republican end Pro
gressive party tickets and the vacancy
on each ticket promptly filled.
Secretary of State Olcott sent his
deputy, S. A. Kozer, to Portland to noti
fy Kellaher and the party committees
that under his construction of the law
he had decided 'that Kellaher's name
could go on the ballot as a candidate
only once, and this for the position of
state senator, for which Kcnnaher was
'nominated by the Republicans at the
prfraarles, as well as for elector.
"It wjs too late to test the matter In
the' courts,1---said Mr. Kellaher today.
"Besides, I was "disposed to leave the
matter to the decision of the secretary
of state, and I determined to resign both
nominations for eleetor at once, so as
to leave no question about it and let the
parties flit the vacancies."
Beslgnationy Pleases Taft Men.
Kellaher's position as a Roosevelt man
on the Republican electoral tlckcx has
been a great worry to the Taft ceople,
and they breathed great sighs ot relief
when they learned of his removal from
the situation. About the same time -the
Information came that William Hanley
of Burns, another of the Republican
nominees for elector, had declined the
nomination.
Chairman C. B. Moores of the Re
publican state committee at once hustled
around and last night a crowd of the
faithful was assembled to fill the
Kellaher and Hanley vacancies. By an
assembly of more than 100 electors pre.
sided over by former Senator C. W. Ful
ton, Phil Metschan Jr. of Portland and
John L. Rand of Baker were named to
fill tha vacancies.
While the war horses were assembled
it was quicki etc

While Kellaher cannot be deprived of
the nomination on the Republican, tick
et, the "regulars" will, give their sup
port to C. W. Nottingham, who was a
senator at the last session and cordial
ly dislikes Kellaher.
Geddes Nominated.
The Progressive party executive com
mittee also met last night to fill the
Kellaher vacancy on its electoral tick
et, and nominated A. 8. Geddes of Union
county. As Kellaher's nomination on the
Progressive ticket was given by a con
vention, and not at the primaries, it

HEAVY RAIN PREVENTS

Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 20. Heavy
rains throughout the night, which con
tinued intermittently this morning,
caused a postponement until next Tues
day of the Pabst and Wisconsin trophy
automobile races, which were scheduled
to start at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
The rains rendered the track heavy
and soggy, and this, coupled with a poor
attendance, caused the management to
decide to postpone the events.

Big Task for Journals Judges
Avalanche of Photographs of' Pretty Contestants Nearly Bur
ies Journal EditorsDifficult Duty of Picking Prize
winners Will Begin Next Monday Night.
Lean jawed statisticians can rave arid
clamor all they want to. Race suicide Is
not practiced in Portland, Judging from
the number of photographs of babies
that have been entered already in The
Journal's contest which is being held for
the jurposjj lverlng the prettiest
enting a Rose City
iled on the editor's
desk and each ptsplring postman
brings more. Indications are that the
Judges will certainly ;Juve an extended
session when they begn the work of se
lecting three babies who, in their opin
ion, are the most beautiful of the whole
beautiful lot.
Examination of the pictures indicates
clearly that Portland, Is aimply crammed
full of pretty babies Infants who are
almost as good looking as their parents
believe them to be and The Journal's
only regret Is that it cannot give to
each and every parent a first prize.
"Buried" la Photographs.
Vv hen the contest started The Journal
editors believed It would be possible to
print most of the photos that would be
received. This theory, however, met a
sad and sudden death. The paper was
simply smothered by the avalanche of
photographs that swept Into the editor
ial department on the heels of the con
test announcement Wednesday. For
this reason tho editors are being com
pelled to publish only a few of the
numberless beautiful baby plcturesi
samples as It were of the other aun
dreds of babies who are every bit1 as
sweet and handsome but whose photon
cannot be printed because there Is not
space enough.
The majority of those whose babies'
pictures were among the first 60 re
ceived by The Journal, called and se
cured their tickets today for Monday
night's performance at the Helllg of
"Baby Mine," that wonderfully success
ful farce in which babies play such a
prominent part. The play opens Sun
day night and the last performance will
be given Wednesday evening.
Babies Can't Attend.
Several of the prize winners' parents
asked whether the tickets would admit
their babies also. The Journal took
the matter up with Manager Pangle of
the Helllg. He said that while he liked
youngsters he could not ee his way
clear to allow them to cQmr- to see
"Baby Mine" even if they did win tick
ets. The babies, he explained, might at
tract more attention, than the players.
As he Is tho court of last resort In
this case It Is hereby declared that tho
winning B0 babies must "treat" their
parents to theatro tickets, and remain at
home themselves.
Counting today, four more days re
main before thn contest closes Monday
night at 6 o'clock, and the Judges un
SUldred Evelyn Mcks, daughter of -
Mr. and Kra. W8. Xicka. Lents.
dertake their Herculean task of choos
ing the three prettiest babies to whom
will be awarded The Journal's three
special prises.
The first prise will be a box at the
Helllg while "Paby Mine" is on tha
boards; second place captures four lw
er -floor seat o4 third place takes two
lower seats. ' v "
Kurry with Wetmrss.
Margaret , Mayo- 1 Mrs.-"8arwyn), who
wrote the play, was born In Salem and
lived for years in Portland. Therefore
the delightful bit of comedy' she created
will prove doubly interesting to local
theatre goers.
Now don't forget the rules Of the
contest and hurry up with the photo
graphs. Baby must be four years of
age or under. The photograph must be
mailed or delivered to the city editor
of The Journal and on Its back mvist
be written plainly the name of the
baby, its age and the proper address of
Its parents. Kour more days remain to
enter the contest but if you intend to
enter your baby do it now-today!
Following are the names of some of
the bubies who were among the first
to enter the contest:

The bloodiest battle of the Nlcaraguari

evenly divided between the rebels and
