THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAI PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1914. CLEETON IS BACK IN HIS . OLD POSITION OF pniiNTV nmiRT mnfiF . uuum i i uuuni juuuu Decision Made After Confer i'ence With Supreme Jus- lilPW AWRI P IS niSP.1 flSFD Amnlmist to Constitution Makes Tim of Biz Tsars; Kolman's ' Mtatna n ILa Sard dad. I Judge T. J. Cleeton has stepped from the circuit court back to his old position of county Judge a the result of a conference yesterday witn the members of the supreme court as to the meaning and extent, of the law ebollnhlng the county court, creating the Sixth circuit court and raising himself from county to circuit Judge. "As the result of that conference I will take up probate work and will quit circuit court worlf." said Judge Cleet&n. 'The supreme Justices ex plained to me thut I am still county Judge, but am not circuit Judge and that my department or the circuit court does not exist. I will remain a county Judge until my term ex pires unless the decision la changed. A new angle was presented tnis morning as the result of a conference held last night by District Attorney Kvans with Attorneys K. E. Coovert, A. K. Clark. Jay Howerman, Judge CleetOn. ex-Judtre Uantenbetn and County Clerk Coffey. Terms Are six Tears. During the conference the fact was brought out that In an amendment to the constitution taking the courts from the constitution, with the excep tion of supreme ..court the terms of office of all Judges affected was set it six years. The amendment was panned in 1910 at the election at which Judge Cleeton was elected county Judge. District Attorney Evans and the others are of the opinion that the amendment became effective at once and should that be true it Is believed that It will mean that as county Judge Cleeton's torm would ' not end until January 1. 1917, and that a successor would not be elected until November, 11. Judge Cleeton said that the supreme Justices were not ready to determine what effect the declaring unconstitu tional of the act would mean on cir cuit court cases tried by him as cir cuit Judge, lie said that they told him probate cases could be validated by himself as county Judge and should jlo change be made In the decision he expects to validate all acts connected with estates performed by him from the time he became circuit Judge until the present. In this he can only do as the matters are again brought be fore him, but he will endeavor to have attorneys In all cases bring such mat ters up that they may be cleared. 'No question was raised by Judge Cleeton yesterday as to the effect the decision would have upon the naming tf Rufus C Holman as county com missioner to fill tho vacancy created ; when, the county court was abolished. This was done, by a separate act and District Attorney Evans Is preparing quo warranto proceedings to place the question before the supreme court that the point may be decided on a friendly basis. Mr. Evans and Mr. , Coovert, who will represent Mr. Hoi : man, hold to the theory that thelegis lature had the right b make the hoard of tjpunty commissioners distinct from the county court and that the act la broad enough to .make the elec tion valid this November to fill the vacancy. County Clerk Coffey will make no .change In the ballots unless ordered to do so by some court. The ballots at present contain provision for the election of a circuit Judge to fill the ' vacancy In department six and to fill .Mr. Holman's place as county commis sioner.

MASON Former London Correspondent for the United Press. New York, Oct. 22. The allies con tinued today to press the German line slowly backward pi Belgium, but there was no evidence of further allied gains In the north. Lille, the center of the kaiser's ad vanced entrenchments. Is being des perately held. North of It the Ger mans are giving ground. At one point on the Franco-Belgian frontier Warenton the allies are only five miles west of the line, north and south, between Lille and the coast. Three miles still farther north, at Menln, they have swung a mile or two past the Lille line. bouth of Lille, however, no gains are reported. . German Beslstance Fierce. The brief progress made eastward by the allies' movement from Arras has been checked by the Germans' fierce resistance at La Basse. The immense importance to the Teutons of protecting thefr lines of com munication against the French swing apparently led to a heavier concen tration of their forces south of the Lille than to the north of it. If the Germans can do so, undoubtedly they will hold LHle as a pivot for their line, Just as the French are Arras. If the allies' pressure becomes too strong to be resisted, their front will bend backward from Lille to the northward, but to the southward they will try to retain their north and south formation. This strategy. If continued, will end eventually In the pushing of the Ger mans back through northern Belgium to Antwerp. Such a battle front, by zigzagging, will afford protection to their lines 'of communication. The line can bend to the northeast from Lille to Antwerp without endangering their main railroad supply system. Germans Protect Xdnes. But once the allies begin to make material progress to the south and east of Lille, the kaiser's hold on French territory will be greatly Im periled. Liege, where the most important German communication line enters home territory, is almost due east of Lille. The German zone of safety. therefore, is south of the Lille-Liege line, and for this reason the Teutonic forces must prevent, at any cost, an advance by the allies south of the former city. Up to the present they- have been, on the whole, successful In this ef fort. They must continue the same strategy even at the. expense of losing all Belgium, from the frontier north of LHle to Antwerp or beyond. Extensive advances by the allies north of Lille would not, under exist ing circumstances, be decisive, but south of LHle' they would be grave, from the German standpoint. It is this area to the southward which must be watched for major strategic developments.

SMITH Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Declares His Opposition to Slates. ! SPEECH IS CONVINCING Voters Bet to Thinking by Straight From the Shoulder Arguments on live Issues of the Say. By Fred Lockley. Philomath, Or., Oct. 22. What a wonderful success along any line a man could make if he only knew what the people were thinking. The man who can most nearly interpret their wishes and desires is the man who Is most successful. It is always a ques tion with a candidate what the people are really thinking of him. Last night as I left the meeting ad dressed by Dr. Smith, I fell in back of two men who had attended the meet ing. "How did you like the doctor's talk?" said one. "I liked it pretty well," responded the other. "It struck me as a very sensible, straightforward talk. What did you think of it?" "It was a good talk, all right, and It was convincing. Who do you think will be elected?" said the first speaker. "Well both of the candi dates are good men. I am a Republi can, and I like Dr. Withycombe. but I would not be surprised to see Smith win out. There are a lot of moral issues up this year, and there is no use talking, the people are tremen dously interested In them. Smith cer tainly has backbone. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks. He talked straight from the shoulder and I be lieve he will back up his talk with his actions." That afternoon 1 happened to be standing at the corner of Cusick's bank. Three middle-aged and sub stantial looking men were discussing the political issues as I came up. I heard one of them say: "Why, I truess both of them are honest, all right, but the people are getting tired of the old school of politics. They want a governor who is a good busi-1 ness man and who will do what he thinks is rignt regardless or wnai other people think. People nowadays are voting for principles and meas-I ures. The day when they would vote the ticket straight, or, as they usej to say, 'vote for a yellow dog if it was on the ticket,' Is gone. Now- aaays 11 is tne man tney vote lor ana not the political labels." All of which goes to show that the people are thinking and discussing the Issues of the campaign. We came to Corvallis this morning, where Dr. Smith was taken in charge by County Judge W. H. M alone, Dis trict Attorney Arthur Clark and Victor P. Moses, and Introduced to the citi zens of Corvallis. Immediately after lunch the above party motored to Philomath. House Was Pull. At Philomath, Dr. Smith spoke In the moving picture halL Philomath Is an old town, and though the popu lation does not exceed 500 or 600 peo ple, they turned out a full house to hear Or. Smith s address. District Attorney Clark introduced Dr. Smith by saying, in part "Today we do not ask what part of the state the candidate comes from, we ask, will he make good. Today we do not talk ,,v. o rr,o- mii vi. performance. We ask will he eive the same careful and conscientious r-nro tn Etnfo h.isir,oK oo n hi- affnira" Mo vipVI4 Tit- nmtt).'.

Mr. Home, how of President Wilson and told of his ever, vigorously denied ever author long acquaintance with and admira- izing the use of hr name, declaring tion for Senator Chamberlain. "I be- lieve it would be a real calamity not to re-elect Senator Chamberlain," said Dr. Smith. "We can" not afford to lose the benefit of his experience and knowledge." Dr: Smith reviewed briefly the steps by which the peopid or uregon. had secured the Oregon sys. iciu una iuiu ui me political corrupt tlon of the old-time overlords that led to the-revolution that secured. foi Oregon its treedom from the bosses. "Do the ' people' want to. surrender their liberty r.' said Dr. Smith. ."If they are not vigilant and alert i they will lose it through the ' under- hndea ttpk of th i tim. who want to resume their dictatOr- Given.

I am unal terably opposed, to slates , and slate makers. I am for the rule of the peo ple by the people. If you do not waat to lose popular government in Oregon, vote down the obnoxious assembly bilL ' The state - of- Oregon has the purest Democracy in thes Union. ' Let us not retrogade or step backward." Dr. Smith reviewed the reasons for the increase of state taxes. "In 110 Benton county paid in state taxes $22,345. In 1914 it paid Ja3,083, an increase of 138 per cent In four years. The remedy is in the people's hands. It is nothing more nor less than the selection and election of the best equipped and most capable men to public office. We need a man who will take the office . of governor re alizing that he must be on the Job all the time, ever vigilant to protect the interests of the people. Not only must he be alert to keep the expenses down through the veto power, but he must be able to fight bad measures and work for good ones. "If you think the legislature needs no curb and that the governor should carry out a harmony program with the legislature. Just glance at the record of the senate for the 1913 session. They killed the act restoring the -tide lands to the state. They defeated the conspiracy statute,' which would have prevented competing companies, for ex ample, paving companies, combining to put up the price of paving and divid ing the profits. They defeated the anti-merger bill which would have done away ith fake telephone companies being organized in a town to keep out legitimate opposition and later combin ing. "The lobby and the old guard, the standpatters and interest servers, were too strong for such progressive legis tion. They killed in committee the bill restoring the Coos Bay wagon grant lands to the state. "This would have restored many thousands of acres of valuable land to the state. One thing I want to prom ise you. If I am elected governor no clique will run me. I will be . the gov ernor of all the people, vigilant to pro tect their interest and makegooa in trust reposed in me." . SNAKE IN THE GRASS ATTACK ON DIRECT PRIMARY BEING MADE (Continued from Page One.) Oregon," according to the leaflet, has offices at 310 Fenton building. Callers at 310 Fenton building yesterday were confronted by a locked door. ISO sign nnneared on the door.

Judge Fenton has Deen proclaimed repeatedly during the r,mnii as author of the assembly vm Says Judge Fenton Drew Bill. Mr Fording today admitted that Judge Fenton had drawn the bill, but denied that his interest in tne league is greater than that of any of the others "who believe the people should have chance to select their candi dates without being dynamited into the selection. ' Others interested in the league. which Mr. Fording said consists ot about 60 members, are, according to the secretary: David M. Dunne, presi dent of the Manufacturers' association; Judge John B. Cleland, John K. Gill, W. Y. Masters and others. The circular is headed: "Voters More important to Oregon than' war. No' is not enough, ainrmatlve legns- lallon " inriow of capital means lower rates of interest. Money will not flow Into Oregon until the PeP e assuJe "? p(le!f. rs that re eon is a sale place for it. "The man who talks of Rule by the PePle and decries party is either a demagogue or a fool, is another dec- laration of the circular.

I think it was that hand she shoved through the -window. I heard a shot then and started to run. I glanced over my shoulder and saw the woman running. Then I heard a sound like another shot, but I am not sure that It was. In my excitement I could not tell." Farrell was then excused and the) state rested Its case. After his motion for dismissal of the indictment against Mrs. Carman had been denied, Attorney Levy made me ionowing siaiement: i Accuse Man of Crime. ' Not only do we propose to show this defendant is innocent, but we will ' prove the murder was committed by a I man whose identity we have been un- i able to establish. We will show the ' defendant was lying: down when she : heard ' a peculiar noise, donned a kl- i mona and slippers and went to the j head of the stalrB, but did not enter j Dr. Carman's office. We will show j that the defendant saw the backs of ; two women leaving her husband's of- I fice." Thomas Crogan, driver of a moving van; testified that he saw Farrell sev eral times on the day of the murder. He said he met him first in July. Farrell asked me, said Crog&n. "if I thought the Asher or Burns De tective agency would get the Carman case. He said he wanted to get a Job eifher as a gumshoe man or witness. I told him the best he would get would be jail." The court house was jammed when the afternoon session opened yester day. The defendant entered the court room smiling and chatting with her attorney. Attorney Graham Immediately con cluded reading the statement alleged to have been made July 81 by Celia Coleman, Mrs. carman s negro maid. After he finished with the statement. Graham again questioned the negress. She admitted that a .Burns detective told her that her board would be paid if she went to New York, and that she had gone and stayed one week. Graham xcored for the AfnaA -n.-V.n Celia admitted that It was while stay-! ing with the Amos family that she decided she must change her story or , go to jail. I "So it was to the Amos woman, wife of a Burns detective," that you first told your story?" asked Graham. "Yes." Frank Farrell, a tramp, who testi fied before the grand Jury that he saw a woman running away from the Carman home, carrying a revolver, j was then called. i GITY- COMMISSIONER URGES BIG VOTE ON QUESTION OF RECALL Official Not Affected by Elec tion Sees AppaYent Indif ference Among Voters. MINISTERS WILL ASSIST Pastors Aiding; in Effort to Get People Out to the Foils on Kext Tuesday. On account of the apparent indif ference displayed regarding the re call election to be held Tuesday, C. A. Bigelow, commissioner of finance, one of the commissioners not affected by the movement, urges that everyone interested in the welfare of the city go to the polls that day and vote. Members of the Portland Ministerial association are doing everything pos sible to get the people out to vote, and it is probable that at an executive meeting, of the association to be held tomorrow morning a resolution will be adopted asking every minister to announce to his' congregation the ne cessity for voting at the special elec tion. "The responsibility in this affair," said Commissioner Bigelow this morn ing," should be fully felt by all who are interested In the city. If the vote Is a heavy one no one can have any just cause for complaint, but if there is a small number voting those who are now apparently indifferent will have themselves to blame for the re sults." , B. E. Kennedy, one of the candi dates lor mayor, and one of the active movers in the recall movement, 13 making a number of campaign talks. Voters are to vote on three issues, one being on the direct recall ques tion, another on the candidates and another on the proposed water amend ment. This measure, if adopted, will lower the minimum rate for water and make it unlawful for the city to ever raise It, provide for the quarterly pay ment of all accounts less than $20 when due and not in advance, and vro- vjding for the billing of accounts to the premises instead of to the actual tenant. . BUDGET RECEIVES BIG CUTS Dog Pound and Street Cleaning Reduced $700O. ' With the exception of the health bureau, the budget committee has fin ished its. work on the budget estimates for Mayor Albee's departments and has a good start on the estimates for Commissioner Daly's departments. Cuts in proposed expenditures of the dog pound and the street cleaning bureauv made yesterday approximated $7000, and the committee expects to make similar cuts when it considers the health budget this afternoon. Last year the committee had allowed $10,000 for electrical investieation work, but as this amount was never used the committee yesterday allowed $5000 of it and it will be used for an appraisal of the property of the Port land railway, Light & Power com pany. Superintendent Donaldson of the street cleaning bureau was allowed an increase of $10 a month in salary, a clerk was allowed $5 a month increase and two foremen, a total increase of s.z a year, two extra men were allowed to drive the automobile street cleaning machines, which are soon to be put In use. FLAW IS FOUND IX TITLE City Is Advised to Hold Back a Part of Price. That the city's title to the property purchased from H. C. Campbell near Troutaale for a detention home, for which was paid $8000, or three times its assessed valuation, is not clear, is shown by the recommendations of City Attorney .La Roche to the city commissioners. He asks that $1000 of the purchase price be withheld as security for clearing the title. According to Mr. La Roche, a wom an in the east has an interest of $350 in the property through a will of a former owner. While this can be easily cleared, he points out, it would be better to safeguard the city's in- YE OREGON GRILLE Broadway at Stark "THE HOME OF MUSIC AND MIRTH" CABARET DE LUXE L. F.

WOMAN'S SWim FOR GOVERNOR CLUB HAS A DIRECT TELEPHONE Women Backers of Demo cratic Candidate Ready to Give Voters Attention. To provide a prompt and convenient method of giving information, a di rect telephone has been installed in the headquarters , of the Woman's Smith-for-Oovernor club in the Hotel Portland. Its number is Main 2701. Mrs. John Nissen, president of the Woman's Smltb-for-Governor club is in attendance at the headquarters an swering calls made by telephone and in person by those cftesiring informa tion or literature. Many of the women who call ask for and are freely given the Smith-for-Governor posters adapted for display in the windows of residences. There are also quantities of the Smlth-for-Governor cards and the pamphlet cop ies of Dr. Smith's law enforcement ad dress made at Oregon City. Woman Has New plan. Mrs. L. P. Budahn of 5018 Sixty fourth avenue, southeast, has a plan of making votes for Dr. Smith and other candidates for whom she is working that she believes will be ef fective if generally used by the house wives of the city. "We have our meat, groceries, bread, laundry and many other articles deliv ered by a long succession of clerks, drivers and carriers," said Mrs. Bu dahn, while a caller at the Smith-for-Governor headquarters yesterday aft ernoon. ."I take enough of the time of each to find out how- he's going to vote, and if he hasn't positively made up his mind I tell him the way he should vote, and I have sufficiently Informed myself on the facts of this campaign so that I can make recommendations that result in pledges to vote for the candidates I hope to, see elected and the measures I hope to see passed. "It is amazing how widespread an influence of this kind becomes. Stands for Best Tfelngs. "I have also called upon the women of my neighborhood, and I find them uniformly anxious to learn the facts and to be governed by what is right and wrong in 'this campaign. That's the reason the women are for Dr. Smith because he is right, and because he stands for the best things." "That is true," said Mrs. Nissen. "And the result Is that the women who are going to vote for Dr. Smith are working for him. I sometimes meet women who say they are going to vote for Dr. Withycombe, but they say so in an indifferent, listless sort of a way, and apologize by adding that they Intend to do so because of their idea of loyalty to the Republican party. Among most of the women, however, I do not hear party men tioned. They are 'for Dr. Smith be cause he is the kind of man who should be elected governor. Why, in Newport, both the president and vice president of the Woman's Smlth-for-Governor club are Republicans."

That those behind the proposed re call ofvMayor H. R. Albee and Com missioners Dieck and Brewster delib erately made their plans so that a re call election would be held before j.he regular November election in hope that the law-abiding element would re main indifferent and refuse to vote, is the statement made this morning by W. H. Warren, secretary to Mayor Albee-The statement T7as prepared In dependently of the mayor and Is aimetl to arouse sentiment among the voters to go to the polls next Tuesday. Mr. Warren says, that those behind the recall are openly boasting that a light vote will be cast- and will result in their election. He further declares that a recall at this time will mean disaster and only result in chaos. He states that every story possible to con coct is being told in an endeavor to arouse sentiment in favor of the re callers and against the incumbents. Shall good government be recalled? That is the question to be decided by the people of Portland on the day of the special city election, Tuesday, Oc tober -7, generally believed to mean little more than a joke," says the state ment. It is the most expensive joke "put over" on the people for personal spite that this city or state has ever known, and I doubt if it has ever had an equal anywhere. The cost will be more than $25,000 which the city can ill afford to expend at this. time. The situation with respect 10 this recall -should interest every decent citi zen of Portland, and should aroube this community to action, so that those who are seeking the overthrow of the present administration would be com pletely "snowed under."
