6 THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER- 25, 1914. ASSERTIONS MADE BY PARRISH V R U SLY DENIED BY R. G.DIECK Commissioner Asserts That Neltrier LmplOyeS NOT tX-J pense Has Been Increased COMPARISONS ARE MADE CfcAtf K4 y ScaJl Caa&ldlte A Sectored To B Xnxmrte or bert's "Omnipotence." That statements made by Dr. George Parrlsh, a recall candidate for tha of fice held by Robert O. Dieck, .attacks ln tha department of public works for extravagance and Inefficiency, are In the main gross misrepresentations or the results of unreliable informa tion, as -can be clearly shown, is the charge made by Commissioner Dieck In a. st augment prepared yesterday. According to Commissioner Dieck, Dr. Parrlsh claims that the number of employes ot the department has been I greatly, increased. Mr. Dieck says that thl i untrue, tut in Jun If II thrii Were employed under the city en gineer 380. while In June, 1814, there were employed by the department of pub-lie, works (exclusive of the bureau of buildings and the plumbing In spector's office) a totai of 246. Fur thermore, the department has followed the deduction In public improvements y a reduction of 40 field men, says Commissioner Dteyk. That the number of high-salaried employes was formerly less than half now employed Is one of the statements declared erroneous by Mr. Dieck. Here Is what he says: Deductions ghoold Be Mads. "Dr. Parrlsh' own tabulations show that the payroll for June, 1913, ex ceeded that for June, 1914,, by $785.37. Furthermore, he forgets to state that $2088.52 should be deducted from the June. 1914, pay row for items which did not exist or for work not done 1 1 n f 1 r tha .Tun 19111 nnvrntl a a frhl lows: "Weed cutting. $1101.84; Carroll cen tral market. $57.02; elimination of grade crossings, $395; commissioner's salary (a fixed charge under the charter),- $41(1.66; secretary's salary, $125; total, $2095. This leaves an actual re duction of $2880.89 in favor of this department. Commissioner Dieck also refutes the statements accredited to Dr. Parrlsh that here were formerly four office engineers getting $7800 a year, where there are nine now getting $23,720 a year. Mr. Dieck states that there were formerly nine men getting $16,800 a year, while now there are nine men getting $20,820 a year. Work Much Heavier Vow. Reference has ben made to the record office. Commissioner Dieck declares that there were formerly three employed, but there are now four, one man being transferred from another office In the department He says that the great mass of resolu tions, ordinances, etc, governing pub lic work, was formerly prepared by the city auditor, but are now prepared In this department without additional help. Actual records, he states, show that the correspondence now handled is at least three times that handled by the office of the former city engl- He says that there is only one I Increase in the main office of the department, and the main office now handles an accounting system which was never done before. The system is such now, says Mr. Dieck, that any taxpayer can learn the exact fin- ! anclal condition of the department and the way the money is being spent. Bay Statement Is TaUehood.

I vnj. m iiv time nag puimcB en tered into the conduct of the office, aye Mr. Dieck. Another statement made by Commis sioner Dieck Is that the charges made by Mr. Parrlsh that the traffic and other questionable surveys are not necessary and not consistent with a policy to keep down taxes, are ab surd. , . The traffic survey is. not an experi ment, contends Mr. Dieck, for It has keen extensively used for 'many years In Americas oltles and by the French government, which constructed the finest streets and roads in the world upon Information secured from like ; w i uci-iares mat me sur veys are essential on which to baso sewer and street improvements. Sxpeadltures Steadily Decrease. Figures have been DreDared hv him te show that the average monthly ex- .ieumiures nave sieaaiiy decreased In gpite of a noticeable Improvement In character, and amount of maintenance on streets, bridges and sewers. Mr " Dieck says that Dr. Parrlsh has failed to mention that the department will - return to the general fund practically dv.uvu in savings alter completing all work and correcting much defective cpimrucuon wnicn it inherited. He also states that Dr. Parrlsh has omitted to state that the city engineer ; for 1912 should be charged for an ex penditure of $79,992.83 from the spe cial bridge fund, whereas during his administration only $3,523.64 has been .- taken from this fund In designs for .; the elimination "Of grade crossines. Other charges alleged to have been made by Dr. Parrlsh are answered la , detail by Commissioner Dieck. . Cost of Faring- Xa. . He further declares that Dr. Par rlsh made no mention ox the fact that the cost of pavements has dropped from ths average of $1,788 for first class pavements to an average of - si. 54 a square yard, and for snonnd : class pavements from $1,416 a square ' yard to $1,889 a square yard. Mr. Dieck contends- that If the $879,020.50 in hard surface pavements constructed during 1914 had been constructed un der former prices the work would have . cost the property owners $941,462.30. kence the department is entitled to gome credit for a saving of $62,441.73. In concluding Commissioner Dieck - gays that Dr. Parrlsh personally ap peared at his office to compliment the department for Its efficiency. He also states that his office rooms" have been conducted strictly for the transaction of public business and not with an pen door for handshaking or polities.

Le Ansle, Oct. 24. Fire brok out shortly after midnight thi moro in on the wharf of the' Crescent Wharf & Warehouse company at San Pedro and spread with fierce rapidity. they were sweeping the wharf sheds ana tne Die; wsrenouse 01 trie ureseni company and toward ihe depot, sheds and wharf of the Salt Lake railroad. Lack of fire fighting facilities gave the flames full sway and at 1 o'clock this rooming It appeared that ail that portlen of East San Pedro was doomed. Police estimates of the extent of the damage already Incurred at 1 o'clock placed the amount at $100,000, but the Increasing fury of the blaze at that hour Indicated that the loss would run far beyond that and that the en tire section ot East San Pedro seemed doomed. IS CAPTURED BY SWEDISH CONTRALTO Mme, Julia Claussen Wins Hearts of Audience as-Soloist, With Appollo Club, , By J. L. W. When Mme. Julia Claussen. the Swedish contralto sang America in In "Aida" here with the Chicago Grand Opera company a little more than six months ago she- won admiration, ap plause and repeated curtain calls for her charming voice and splendid act ing, but last night as soloist with the Apollo club, she completely cap tivated musical Portland. She not only charmed with her voice; she won the hearts of her audience. Mme. Claussen as a concert artist was practically unknown to Portland, and in grand opera she had been heard here but once, but the Heilig was taxed to capacity last night with a critical audience, filled with expectation and anticipation, because of the Impression made by this rising star on her former visit. It was but for her to sing the first strains of the ever, to dispell any fear of disap- I pointment, and as the concert pro gressed, so her voice grew In color and volume till the last, when It rose to a glorious climax in Schubert's "Omnipotence," that held the audience spell bound. Bespond to Encores. It was a triumphal finale, and the listeners refused to leave their seats until the contralto. Director W. H. Boyer and Edgar E. Coursen, Port land's dean of accompanists, had re sponded to recalls half a dozen times or more. Last night's concert was the club's most ambitious undertaking and by far Its greatest success and It fixed a standard difficult perhaps to surpass. The program was chosen with great discrimination, opening with the fa vorite "Pilgrims Chorus" from Wag ner's "Tannhauser," by the chorus with Mr. Coursen and William C Mc Culloch at the pianos. The shading was exquisite and put the audience into splendid mood for what was to follow. These were two dainty num bers. "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" by Gaines, and "Reveries" by Storch, both sung a capella and softly but with tremendous power in reserve like a river that winds quietly but inevitably through its well defined channel. Than "Elizabeth's Prayer" from Tannhauser," Mme. Claussen could hardly have chosen anything more suitable for her opening number. It proved adapted for her big, luscious and so remarkably even voice. SeU d&m one hears a eontralto, or mezzo soprano with the absolutely even tone quality throughout the register as that of Mme. Claussen. Other Hmabari Sung. Other numbers in which she was heard was Wagner's "Dreams," Saint Saens' "Mon Coeur" from "Samson and Dellla," SJokren's "Molnet" (The Cloud), Peterson Berger's "Serenade," Greig's "Efteraarstormen" (Autumn storm) and "Drifting." MacDermld's "Sacrament" and "Little Playmates" by Tuckfield. All of these were sung in the original and with splendid dic tion, in response to the insistent ap plause after each number, the cantra trice graciously gave "Annie Laurie," "Long, Long Ago" and "To a May Day," the latter named a Norwegian song written by the Swedish com poser. Sjogren. The big chorus made a particular hit with the little Jocular song, "The Elf Man" by Gibson, which it had to re peat. This and the preceding "Sum mer Lullaby" by Gibson, were also sung a capella and with most artistic phrasing. The most difficult number tendered by the- chorus was perhaps "Sunrise" by Podbertsky. It was given with a splendid dramatic effect. The club now numbers about 70 ac tive members and tha associate list has been increased with a great many names since last season. W. A. Mont gomery is now president, with J B. Pilkington as vice president and Sid ney G. Lathrop as secretary. Suffragettes Are for World Peace Columbus, Ohio, Oct 24. Nearly 1000 suffragettes marched iU a driz sllng rain in a torchlight parade here tonight, esoortlng Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt. president of the Interna tional Woman'e Suffrage alliance, to Memorial hall, where she spoke to S0O0 people. Mrs. Harlret Taylor Upton, state president, predicted the suffrage amendment would carry November 3 by a big majority. Mrs. Catt ' advocated world wide peace which could be insured by the establishment of an International par liament to make laws and an Inter national court to Interpret these laws with women as well as men taking part In making the laws and enforcin" them. Raid Is Fruitiest. Acting upon information th th. law relative to the sale of liquor was being violated, Governor West d- tailed a squad of four militiamen unaer captain Metcalfe to the Beil tavern, formerly Gra ton's tavern, at Mllwaukie, late last night. Upon their arrival the place was found practi cally tenantless. No arrests were made. MUSCAL PODTLAND mm m. f lit : MAI t IU KALLi IU rULLo IN RECALL ELECTION Citizens Advised to Study the Ballot in Order to Vote In telligently, THREE QUESTIONS ASKED Opinion as to Bees 11, Officials and Water Sate Ovdlaanoe Sought. The recall election will be held Tues day. It Is the duty of every registered voter to vote. Unless voters do their duty the recall may be successful. Study the ballot elsewhere repro duced in The Journal and prepare to vote intelligently. The list of polling places is also printed. Find where you are to vote, and vote early. Beoome familiar with first and sec ond choice voting provisions of the ballot. On the ballot you nswer three ques tions: Do you or do you not desire the recall of Mayor Albee and Com mlssioners Dieck and Brewster?. Do you or do you not want to elect suc cessors to them? Do you or do you not favor Commissioner Daly ordi nance for quarterly collection of water rates? Above all, VOTE, People who oppose the recall have been heard to say, "We will have noth ing to da with lc" , By which they, mean they will not vote, thinking thereby to defeat the recall. Totes Will Count. r Thelr's Is the surest way to make the recall election a victory for the recallers. The recallers will not need to be urged to get out and vote. They have their o.wn motives to urge them. If others stay away from the polls their worda may condemn the recall but their acts will support it. The votes cast at the polls will de termine the outcome of the recall elec tion. Votes alone count. If the people of Portland do thelf duty they will poll the largest vote ever cast at a city election. If such a vote is cast the recall will be de- feated Public sentiment is against it. A decisive rebuke will thus be admin istered to Kennedy. Leet, and Abrey. who are chiefly responsible for forcing upon the people at this time a $25,000 special election cost, not because the officials they seek to recall are guilty of corruption, malfeasance or gross Incompetency, but because Kennedy, Abrey and Leet want the offices these officials hold. The rebuke is necessary to discour age others from ever again lightly in voking the recall In Portland. Superintendent Alderman of the pub lic schools lias asked all teachers to talk to the children tomorrow about the Importance of citizens doing their duty in voting. The children will write essays giving reasons for voting- and these they will carry home for their parents to read. It Is intended that the children shall receive not alone lessens la language and penmanship, but lessons in citi zenship and that these lessons shall be carried to their parents. If tha schools can do so much, cannot every good citizen both vote and urge others to do so? Everything la In readiness for the recall election to be held Tuesday. The official ballots are ready and the ballot boxes will be ready for distri bution to the various polling places the first thing Tuesday morning. Every employe that could be spared from City Auditor Barbus office has been working strenuously preparing for the election ever since the recall petitions were filed and now every thing indicates that the election will be held without a hitch. The police bureau will lend all as sistance possible to assist the judges and clerks and the city auditor's men. The members of the three reliefs of the bureau will report on duty at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and distribute the ballot boxes and tally sheets. The saloons are to be closed from 8 o'eloek in the morning until 8 o'clock at night. Twenty men will be held In reserve at headquarters. Under the preferential system of voting as shown on the ballot print ed elsewhere In The Journal today, If a ballot contain more than one vote for the same candidate, enly the one vote highest is to be counted. If the majority of the votes cast are to recall Mayor H. K. Albee or either one of tha two commissioners the candidates receiving the majority of the first choice votes for the three offices shall be elected. If the can dictates, however, do not receive a majority of the first choice votes then the second choice votes shall be added and the candidates receiving a majority of the first and second choice votes shall be elected. A tie between two candidates ahaJl be de cided in favor of the one having the largest number of first choice votes. If the majority of the votes cast on the recall questions in the cases of Mayor H. R. Albee and Commie sioners Robert G. Dieck and W. L. Brewster are for the recall in any in stances, the vote on the candidates amounts to nothing. Should one of the ' men be recalled, however, the candidate receiving the highest num ber of votes is to be elected. S0L0NS FINISH SESSION THAT RAN 567 DAYS ( Continued from Pag One.) grees will reconvene in extraordinary session about the middle of November to consider cotton legislation." Henry was asked later to elaborate upon his statement of a positive knowledge that there will be an extra session. He said his statement was as far as he could go. The end of the session was not accompanied by en livening scenes that generally mark a wind up. Ther wa a round of hand clapping as Speaker Clark thanked the members for their faithful services and then almost everybody dashed for a train, President Wilson arrived here short. ly before 13 o'clock from Pittsburg. He was surprised to find that congrese ! nad adjourned, not having been advised while en route. Clark praise Congress Work. With the record breaking session of congress practically at an end. the fol. lowing expression concerning It .'achievement were made especially for the United Press, today by represent atives of the three parties: By Speaker Champ Clark: "The Baltimore platform contains a multi tude of promises. We have redeemed several of them, are in process of re deeming others and purpose to re deem them alL Jn my Judgment a majority of the American people In dorse the achievements of the Demo cratic administration, for have kept the faith. We stand confidently on our record on this contest." By Majority Leader Underwood: "The Democratic party la entitled to the confidence of the people because it has kept Its pledges to them. It has revised the tariff downward to a revenue basis, has shifted the burden of taxation from those least able to pay to those most able to bear the burden, haa reformed the banking and currency -laws, has furnished the nec essary supplemental legislation to make effective the provisions of the Sherman law to prohibit monopoly with the least possible disturbance to business, and It has further Remon strated that it can efficiently admin ister tha affairs of tha national gov ernment" SKaaa Critlelsea Democrats. By Republican Leader Mann: "There is lack of confidence throughout the country, and why should not it de vedop? There has been no legisla tion since Mr. Wilson became presi dent whih tended to restore confi dence. Whenever the Democratic par ty is In power and has an opportunity to legislate or attack the business of the country through the administra tion there necessarily comes lack of confidence." By Representative Rupley, Progres sive, of Pennsylvania: "The great con structive measures that were passed by this congress' were passed with the assistance of the Progressives and so called Progressive Republicans. In the future we will demonstrate that the Progressive party should have been entrusted with the passage of these great constructive pieces of leg islation. One big blot oh the achieve ments of the Democratic administra tion is the failure to pass the immigra tion bills." By Senator Polndexter, Progressive: 'This congress Is entitled to undisputed credit for several far-reaching and ex cellent measures. Among the best is the bank reserve act. The anti-trust bill was shamefully weakened by omit ting all criminal penalties against the individual violators. The war tax bill is a misomer and unpardonable." MORE THAN 300,000 VOTERS REGISTERED IN OREGON FOR ELECTION (Continued from Page One.) the close of registration In the counties. The increase In the registration this year over that of 1912, when 159,888 were on the lists and when 144.11$ ballots were cast, is due to the grant ing of the franchise to the women of the state, as well as to the inter est taken in the election Issues this year by practically every voter. In 1910 there was considerable interest in the election in Oregon, but the vote was only 120,248. There is a possibility that the reg istration this year may be 305,000 and it is estimated that the percentage of those who fall to cast their ballots will be small. British Aeroplane Shot.
