STATEMENT ISSUED TODAY
Controversy Wtm About Ittta of
.Oontraot for Building- the Blow
Coucn .school Stractnre.
. Ths special meetlag of- tho school
board yesterday afternoon at which
Boyajohn & .Arnold were awarded the
general contract Tor the construction
of the Cduch school, at Twentieth and
' lioyt streets, was today followed by
a Charge that alleged political aaplra
tlons of Director Bommer were respon
slbls'for the "failure of the board to
award the contract to the lowest bid
der, J. 8., Winters.
-Winters made the charges, which
were oromoUy denied by Dr. Bommer,
who In tarn characterized Winters as
a "tricky Individual" with whom he de
clared the board had had trouble pre
viously.
Winters' basic bid was .$112,777. and
wfth alternates- considered amounted to
I11&.S87. The Boyajohn & Arnold basio
' bid was 1116,890 and stood as the third
lowest. Including alternates, however.
It was $118,584, the second lowest
Season Zs GiYsn.
In acceDtlnn this bid. Which was
."$2897 higher than the Winters bid, ln
eluding alternates, the board acted on
the theory that .it would secure Better
work and materials than Winters
would have supplied, according to Dr.
Bommer.
i When a rote was taken. Directors
'Bommer. Alan Welch Smith and-Plum-
iner voted for Boyajohn & Arnold, ana
.Director Beach against them. "
J.. 8. Winters in a statement today
'.declared that the alleged political am
bitions of Dr.'B. A. Sommer are re
sponsible for his failure to secure the
contract despite that he was the low
eat bidder.
"My bid on the school was $112,777.
and tlfe next lowest bidder was the
Mnrhim & Shelley company with a
" figure $2300 higher than mine. Boya-
. John & Arnold were above that by $600
more, air. w inters iieu.
"The bidders were not apprised of
the, time of the meeting of the board,
but we were suspicious, and had one of
the stenographers tell us when the
meeting started. At 4:25 yesterday
afternoon we were summoned by tele
phone message. .
"The action was railroaded through.
Dr. Alan Welch Smith proposed that
the contract be let to Boyajohn & Ar
nold. His excuse was that the other
contractors, although their bids were
1 lower, were' not responsible. We were
responsioie io u "
. put up certified checks for more than
, $12,000.
Blamed on Politic.
"TV Rnmmer wanter this contract
to go to the- company that received the
bid through political motives," Mr.
Winters charged. ''He plans to be a
. candidate for mayor at the next elec
tion. The Boyajohn & Arnold company
employ union labor exclusively, while
the other two bidders, both lower, are
"open shop He wants to stand in with
. the labor unions by this. Dr. Sommer
should not spend the taxpayer's money
Id this way."
A meeting of the employers' asso
ciation was secretly held last nlgnt,
Mr. Winters declared, and it was de-
elded to make a strong protest against
the board's action. j
Mr. Winters had the contract for the
, construction of the Falling and Alns
.worth schools, and In the latter case,
... due to the "open shop" policy, is said
lo have had considerable labor trouble.
"In selecting a general contractor
.to build the Couch school building
the board. Dartlcularly myself and
Dr. Alan Welch Smith, were guided by
past experiences and a determination
to see that the district, got 100 cents
''worth of work for every dollar ex-
pended." said Dr. A. 10. Sommer, to
day, answering Winters' charges.
. "I am not running for office and I
. am not taking any Bides in labor con
troversies. In choosing our general
, contractor the proposition of an open
or closed shop principle never en
tered our minds.
Acted for the Best.
' The truth of the matter Is, I think
' that Mr. Winters is a tricky Individ
ual. I base this assumption on the
fact that the board has had trouble
With him before and 1 made up my
- mind that I for one did not Intend
to have any more.
"Winters was the general "contractor
for. the Alnsworth school, a $170100
structure, and he caused us a lot of
, trouble. For one thing, he insisted in
putting In defective material when
ordered not to. Our Inspectors had
. trouble with him also.
, "Winters' basic 'bid was $112,777.
i and the Boyajohn & Arnold bid was
$115,890. When all the alternates were
j , taken into considerations Winters'
bid would have been $116,687 and Boy
ajohn & Arnold's $119,584. This makes
the successful bidder's bid $2897 higher
. than Winters', who put in the lowest
. one. Bingham & Shelley's bid was
, the second lowest as the basio bid,
but the third lowest when alternates
Were considered.
fin selecting the contractor we did,
v we felt that we were doing the very
beat for the district, because we feel
, that the firm will do better work and
the building wiH go up without us

New York, Oct. 23. While the allies
were reporting today progress In the

on a' stupendous scale In the east.
The Germans have been driven back
west of the Vistula, according to Petro-

a minimum as reacmng zuo.uuu, a no as
a maximum at reaching 60 per cent of
the kaiser's entire Invading force.

Polk county has played In the pioneer
history of our state. We are a nation
of pioneers and now Oregon ks the
pioneer in progressive legislation. Our
nation was started by a band of God
fearing pioneers who came to the
bleak New England shore, landing at
Plymouth Rock, Their sons were the
pioneers of the Ohio valley. The sons
of these adventurous pioneers drifted
southward and westward till the Mis
sissippi valley had been settled. West
ward the pioneers wended their way
to the valley of the Missouri and the
Platte and finally your fathers and
mothers, most adventurous and cour
ageous of all, started on the long, toil
some and dangerous trip for the far
off valley of the Willamette.

He took up the record of the 1813

few of Its members had etaonis the

who gave them their pay."
He showed how Polk county's taxes
had Increased 155 per cent In four
years. He gave facts and figures to
prove his assertions. He showed how
the senate with less integrity and hon
esty than the house had In 1913 de
feated the single Item veto, the con
etaoin veto, the effort to recover for
the state the lands illegally held by
the Coos Bay Wagon Road company,
a domain of 90,000 acres which should
revert to the state. He snowed now
the senate had killed the bill passed
by the house known as the land con
demnation bill, which provided that
when land was needed for publlo pur
poses it could be purchased for twice
Its assessed valuation. "They wanted
to dodge their fair share of the burden
of taxes and yet.be allowed to hold up
the public when they came to sell their
land." said Dr. Smith.
"This Is the same corrupt gang, he,
continued, "who are trying to break
down the direct primary, who want to
restore the assembly, who do not be
lieve in the single Item veto and who
sneer at law enforcement. They over
look that the world has moved for

Mrs. Carman was excused before
the noon recess, leaving the stand with
her testimony unshaken. She did, not
contradict herself . once, replied to
questions unhesitatingly and passed
through the ordeal without the least
variation in her direct testimony."
Mrs. Carman's daughter, Elizabeth,
testified that she heard a shot on
the night of the murder, ran upstairs
and found her mother in her bedroom.
Slapped Nurse's Face.
The defendant said it was the sight
of her husband handing money to a
nurse in his. office that stirred her,
not the -fact of the nurse having kissed
him. Mrs. Carman said she slapped
the nurse's face "good and hard."
Mrs. Piatt Conklln, Mrs. Carman's
mother, testified that on the night of
the murder thedoor between the pan
try and the office, through which Celia
Coleman said she and Mrs. Carman
had passed, was closed and locked
from the office side.
Mrs. Ida Powell, ther" defendant's
sister, also was called and corroborated
much of the testimony given by Mrs.
Carman. .
DDr. Carman took the witness stand
at 2 o'clock.
DDr. Carman Testifies.
Dr. Carman testified that on the
night of the murder he went Into his
waiting room at 7 -,40 o'clock and found
a strange man there, He swore the
man said he had some one who wanted
to see the doctor, but left saying he
would return.
Dr. Carman said Mrs. Conklln, Mrs.
Powell and Celia Coleman entered bis
office after the shooting, but that
Mrs. Carman did not. He also de
clared the door between his office and
the pantry was locked.
Dr, Carman was severely cross-examined
by Prosecutor Smith, but his
testimony remained unshaken. He said
he could not recall telling anyone that
the hand he saw through the window
when the shot was fired was a wo
man's hand, but said, on the contrary,
that he had always thought It was a
man's hand.
Charles Adams, a negro, swore that
he was passing the Carman house on
the night of the tragedy and heard a
shot. He said he saw a man leap from
the fence on the west side of the

Pays for Ride He
Stole 15 Years Ago
Stranger Beturns $3 to O.-w. B, H .
Company as Conscience Money; Other
mounts Receive by Xtoad,
Conscience stricken over a ride of
30. miles stolen 15 years ago, a
stranger walked into the O.-WV R. & N.
general passenger department offices
this morning and said he wanted to
expiate "his evil deed. At this, li te day
he could not even be sure Of his dis
tance, but after some discussion, lata
two silver dollars on the counter and
said he would call , It square if the
company would.
The same individual stopped at tne
Southern Pacific offices on.tlfc third
floor of the Wells-Fargo building and
left $5 "on account" He said he had
stolen several rides on that road. Al
though the price of the fare he should
have paid was much more, he explained
that this was all he could arrora to
pay now. He promised to call later
with other Installments.
Much conscience money has been
turned into the railroads within the
last few months mostly because of
stolen rides. The North Bank re
cently accepted about $17.50 from a
former employe who said he had drawn
more pay than was coming to aim ana
afterward had used his jass, thouf.
having quit the service, he was not
entitled to it
emy. He began his career as a stocK-
man on his father s property in Kos
shire and acquired an intimate knowl
edge of stock raising, which laid the
foundation for his later successful car
eer in this country.
A short Interlude of his life was
spent in the British army in the House
hold Cavalry, better Known as the
First Life Guards.
After an honorable discharge from
the army through the Honorable Ar
thur Balfour, later premier of England,
he came to Portland, where he had
kinsmen, the lateMr; Donald and Ken
neth Macleay, also his cousin. Dr. K. A,
X. MacKenzie.
Desirous of entering the stock busi
ness he went to Grant county. In a
few years he was the owner of exten
sive holdings In the John Day valley.
He became ultimately the owner of
the well known Glen Shi el stock farm
which comprises 8000 acres and con
trols extensive adjacent ranges. Ha
was interested In diversified farming,
also.
Mr. MacRae married in November,
1897, Lilian Egan, eldest daughter of
Stephen Egan. Esq., of Dublin, Ireland,
who survives him.

said he would like to pay ,f or It with
a son it or two. so Mr. Murphy too
them into the Sunset. (The contrast
between those four bedraggled bums
and the fastidious interior of Port
land's prettiest motion picture theatre
gave him a chill.) They scrambled
to the stage and before Murphy knew
what had happened he was listening
to- a quartet, such as he had never
heard before. "The Old Oaken Buck
et" that touching old favorite, brought
tears to the eyes of the Old time theat
rical man, who thought the tear ducts
had dried up long ago. To maite
Ions: story short Murphy signed them
up. They will sing In their regular
attire (all the old time melodies),
until the wanderlust "gets them" again.
"The Tramps' Quartet" t has been
named; will give a freo concert . in
the lobby of the Sunset theatre every
noon hour while they are In Portland.
