It. 'Albec be recalled from the office of mayor?" Shall Hubert G. Dleck be re called from the office of Commis sioner?" '.Shall W. I Brewster ba re called from the office of commis sioner?" They are to vote "yes" or "no" on each question, , In addition to this they are to vote on the various candidates, using the preferential system' of voting In each cse, except that of Commissioner Brewster, whose position is being sought by only one man. City Attorney La Roche has ruled that a majoilty of votes cast on the direct recail questions will determine whether or not the officials are to be recalled said if there Is nota majority In favor of the recall in each case the vote on the candidates will amount to t nothing. For instance If there Is not a ma jority In favor of recalling Mayor Al bee, he Is to retain his position, despite the fact that he may not receive the highest number of votes among the candidates for mayor. Kennedy's Candidacy Causes Surprise. While no public announcement has been made as to who really instigated the recall, although a so-called com 'mlttee circulated the recall petitions. It Is common knowledge that B. K. Kennedy was one of the active ring leaders and had as his chief assistant 'John C. Lane, a "soapbox" agitator, who was discharged from the position ' of meat inspector for the city. Kennedy's candidacy ' occasioned .rnuch surprise, as there is nothing in his record either in Portland or in Baker. Or., where" he resided until , about four years ago, to commend him . to tho voters for the important public office he now seeks. He was Albee's , campaign manager and after election was an applicant first for the position ; of city treasurer and afterwards for that of municipal purchasing agent, . but was turned down in both In stances Jiy the city commissioners. ." This caused him to be disgruntled. It is said. Later he went to Chief of Police . Clark and, according to the chief, rep resented to him that he Btood close to the mayor and what he ordered the chief to do the chief should do with out question. He wanted the chief, j said ('lark yesterday, to change a num- of his men and advocated a plan to put Julius Knispcl. who was recently convicted of disposing of drugs. In charge of the Chinatown squad. Chief Clark asked Mayor Albee lr he had to take orders from Kennedy or If Kennedy had anything to do with running his department and when be ing told that such was not the case the chief refused to have anything more to do with the man. Long bt-forn the recall petitions Were filed Kennedy and his chief aide. Lane, were try.ing to gather informa tion which they thought could be used against Mayor Albee in the campaign. - Kennedy and Lane had worked out a acheme whereby Lane was to return to his old profession as a "soapbox" orator and talk against the mayor on 'the streets. They expect lo p:;t this plan in operation this week, it is said. One Is Labor Union Kan. Eugene K. Smith, another candi date against the mayor, is business manager of the Inside electrical work- era' local union. Smith Is the only .one 01 me uirre wn'j nas aaopta a campaign slogan. .1 W. A.

Guards and deputies with bloodhourwls are searching the hills in the Folsom dis trict today for Convict Krank Creeks, life termer, who escaped from the pris on last night in one of the most daring breaks in the history of the prison. Harold Flash, sentenced to 20 years frqm Sacramento for attempted burg lary, and Night Sergeant J. B. Drury, were killed and Guards Frank Maher and Joe Kerr were seriously wounded. The break had evidently been thor oughly planned by the convicts in or der to catch Sergeant Drury and Guard Kerr as they came into the prison bringing four revolvers to the guards. A key, invented by the convicts, at tached to a long wire which ran through a pipe to the cell door served as a means of opening the prison door.
