GOVERNOR FINALLY
WINS FIGHT AGAINST
COMMANDANT ELDER
Executive Broached Matter
at Board Meeting Soon Af
ter Taking Office.
KAY IS PREVAILED UPON
Secretary Olcott Stioks j OffiolaU
Who Lost His Scalp
Anyway.
(Continued From Page One)
concerned he considered Elder a very
capable superintendent. Several year
ago the secretary waa located for a
time at Roseburg and business men at
that time told him that Elder waa
the only man who had ever been com
mandant who had made a success of
the administration of the institution.
There had been turmoil and chaos be
fore Elder took the office and since
that time everything had been satis
factory, he said.
The secretary of state inquired
what had become of the investigation
instituted by Representative Oro H.
Porter of Koseburg. Porter, it ap
peared, had sought to show that Elder
had allowed bills for labor that had
not been performed at the institution.
Governor Wins Plfht.
Governor Withycombe replied that
there waa "nothing in that Porter
stuff." Kay agreed that Porter's ac
tivities had nothing to do with Elder's
dismissal.
Olcott denounced what he declared
was a despicable attempt to besmirch
Elder's daughter. Porter came to him,
he aaid, and told that he was seeking
evidence to show that Elder's daughter
had drawn pay from the state as an
employe of the Soldiers' home nt tha
same time she was employed by a mil
liner, Minnie Bell, in Roseburg.
It developed in Porter's investiga
tion that the charges were absolutely
false, and the girl had worked for the
milliner only when she had not been
employed at the state Institution.
Kay Insisted that the cfiarges
against the girl had not been consid
ered in deciding to remove Elde-. Ol- i
cott wanted to see some affidavits
bearing on the Porter Investigation.
"Record Mr. Kay and me as voting
for the resolution,"' said Governor
Withycombe, who adjourned the meet
ing without going further into the
Porter probe.
Affidavits on file in the office of
Reoorder Goodin showed the efforts
that had been made to "get'' Elder
through his daughter. The attempt
was a failure, but showed the length
to which the opposition to Elder want.
At the time Porter made his investi
gation here It was understood that the
evidence was to be used as a basis on
which Kay would explain his change
of front from declaring that Elder
was one of the best of the heads of In
stitutions in the state to advocation
of his dismissal.
The dismissal of Elder marks thd
end of a long fight waged by Govar-!
nor Withycombe. Soon after he took1
office, the governor brought up the1
matter ut a meeting of the board of
control, but Kay and Olcott would not
agree to a change. Olcott took tha
same stand tlmt he maintained yester
day, asserting that Elder had made a
good Muperintendeat, and that he pro
posed to stand by a man when he made
good as the head of an institution.
Kay then said he was not ready to
vote for the dismissal of Elder. Kay
had from time to time during the last
four years expressed great satisfaction
with the administration of Elder.
The stand by Kay and Olcott waa
far from pleading to the governor.
"I Am a Bepoblican."
"Gentlemen, I want you to know that
I am a Republican first, last and all
the time,"' he said heatedly.
It is known that the governor has
never been at all satisfied with Elder
on account of the fact that he believed
Elder opposed him politically last yeai',
as well as on a previous occasion.
When Withycombe lined up with
Kay a month ago and agreed to vote
for the dismissal of Dr. J. H. Thomp
son as head of the feebleminded in
stitution, is was said that a trade had
been made whereby Kay would stand
witli Withycombe for the removal of
Elder.
A petition signed by practically every
business man of Roseburg, asking that
Elder be retained, was ignored by Kay
and Withycombe. The petiton waa
filed early this year.
Inquiry at the office of the state
board of control brought the informa
tion today that not a single charge or
complaint against Elder was on file or
had been at any time filed. The com
plaints, it appeared, had either een
filed with. Governor Withycomba or
Treasurer Kay. '
A letter from Grace Elder, daughter
of the commandant, employed at the
institution, who Was harrassed by a
little clique of Roseburg politicians
who werB anxious to oust Elder, is on
file in the office of the board of con
trol. Was Beady to Quit.
In it Miss Elder says she was ready
to quit at any time if it would he for

futile effort to prove she had worked
in a millinery store at the t)me she
drew pay for working for the state.
She enclosed an affidavit from Min
nie bell, the milliner, which showed
that she had not been employed In the
millinery store at the time claimed by
Porter and others.
"I had hoped we would remain here
until I finished my work as worthy
matron of the O. E. S., which came to
me by popular choice, and I feel it
means a great deal to me or any other
young woman," she said in her letter.
Captain R. C. Markee, who has been
elected commandant of the Soldiers'
home Ut Roseburg, has lived in Port
land six years. His residence is at 61 8
Prescott street and he is engaged in
the Jewelry business on the east side.
He Is a member of Sumner Post, No,

the Civil war he waa a member of com

with the Soldiers' home at Qulncy,

born in Harrison county, Ohio, June
20, 1845.
Roseburg Not Pleased.
Roeeburg, Or., Sept, 4. Expressions
of regret artd indignation were heard
on every hand here today upon receipt
of the news that W. V. Elder had been
removed as commandant of the Oregon
Soldiers' home, as it Is felt that there
is nothing behind the removal except
politics.
Mr. Elder has been a most satis
factory official, both as to his care of
the inmates and as to the general busi
ness management of the home, being
in marked contrast with the record f
his predecessor. He Is deservedly pop
ular with the old veterans in the home,
and a large part. of the Republicans
of Douglas county were actively ad
vocating his retention as commandant,
and they are very indignant over this
"piece of dirty politics," as one ex
pressed it.
A small faction of the Republican
party hero have been after Elder for
some time, and hoped to land a cer
tain Douglas county man In the place,
one of the representatives from this
couoty having made a special trip to
Salem to urge Elder's removal.
Others who have been urging his
removal are A. C. Marsters, a local
politician, and Carl O. Hhoemaker, now
state game warden, who has been con
ducting a campaign against him
through his own newspaper here. It
is safe to say that the present admin
istration has added nothing to its pop
ularity In Douglas county by Mr. El
der's removal.
Claims Precaution Is Taken.
Salem, Or.. Sept. 4. In an answer
filed with the state public service com
mission in the case of G. H. Blackburn
against the Portland Railway. Light &
Power company to compel the installa
tion of block signals at an alleged
dangerous crossing at Cottrell atation,
the defendant says that whistles are
blown, speed reduced to six miles an
hour, travel on the highway is light
and prominent signs are displayed
warning people. The defendant thinks
adequte precautions are now taken to
protect people.

FOREIGN
COMPANIES
MAY USE ANY NAME
THEY MAY DESIRE TO
State's Attorney General Up
sets Old Ruling Which
Barred Many Concerns.
WATSON ACT IS INDORSED
Former Corporation Commissioner Z.ast
.January Started to Follow tetter
of Law Instead of Opinion,
Any foreign corporation may trans
act business in Oregon, not only under
its legal name as fixed by its articles
of incorporation, but under any name
it may assume and designate as the
name it desires to use in the state,
according to an opinion of Attorney
General Brown, just rendered.
This opinion marks the reversal of
a 15-year-old ruling of the attorney
general's office, which up to this time
has been followed by the corporation
department, and which not only barred
many foreign corporations from the
transaction of business in Oregon, but
has caused frequent friction between
such corporations and the corporation
department.
According to an opinion of the attor
ney general given in 1903, it was held
that a foreign corporation, having a
name which, in the opinion of. the
secretary of state, conflicted witfi the
name of any corporation of record in
the state, could not enter the state
unless or until it changed its name so
ae to avoid the conflict. Under this
ruling the Standard Oil company could
not have entered the state of Oregon
without changing its leg"ai title had
there been any corporation of a simi
lar name on the record of the depart
ment when it made appjication to file
its charter there.
Watson Changed Procedure.
There is a provish n in the law, how
ever, which says that a foreign cor
poration desiring to transact business
in Oregon, when filing its papers,
"must set forth a full name under
which it proposes to transact business"
in the state, and Corporation Commis
sioner Ralph A. Watson, during Janu
ary last, abandoned the old opinion of

department would accept the filings
of foreign corporations should they de

name other than their legs; title.
Recently Mr. Watson presented the
application of a Delaware corporation
which desired to operate In the state
under an assumed name, and Corpora
tion Commissioner Schulderman, while
admitting the desirability of the rul
ing from the standpoint of the de
partment, questioned his authority un
der the law to accept and file the
papers, and asked Attorney General
Brown to pass upon the question.
T7pet Old BuUng.
The attorney general, realizing that
his answer involved the overturning of
a- 15-year-old construction and the es
tablishment ot a new course of pro
cedure for the state In its treatment
of foreign corporations, went into the
matter very thoroughly, as a result
of which he reversed his own depart
ment and sustained Mr. Watson's con
struction. It is believed that the new and more
liberal rule will result in the entrance
into the state of many foreign cor

What Makes the Piano May7
"Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben!" shouted
Twinkle. "Come quick; Thereth a
threet piano coming. I can hear it."
At the call. Scuffy came bounding
down the stairs from the attic, where
he had gon to search for an old hat
suitable for Dlavlna cowboy, and Sister
Bell dropped her embroidery to find
out about the orornlsed larl. Sure
enougT from fa? up'Ih; slreet came
the "tinkle, tinkle," of the piano. Sister
Bell began to dance on the smooth
grass. Scuffy turned a couple of cart
wheels and began to whistle.
"I hope they have a monkey with
them," he said, between turns. "I have
a penny to give him if they have."
"I can't hear it now. Maybe it's
gone away," breathed Bister Bell.
"No. it isn't," corrected Scuffy. "It's
only just stopped playing for a min
ute. It s going to play another piece.
It has to stop to catch its breath, I
guess."
"But It don't breathe," wa the pro
test. "Of course U breathes, else how
could it play?"
a
At this point Uncle Ben appeared on
the scene to settle the all-important
question of the moment.
"Uncle Ben," asked Sister, her cheek
flushed with the heat of argument,
"does a piano breathe?"
"Of course, it does," interrupted
Scuffy.
"I'm sorry to correct you, boy," eald
Uncle Ben, "but a piano dors not
breathe."
"Then how does it play?" Indignant
ly. "Did you ever take a string and
draw it tightly between your teetn and
stretch it to the flngere of one hand,
while you twanged It with the other?"
"Ye-e-s."
"Then you know why a piano plays.
It is made up of a whole lot of strings
made of fine wire. When these etrlnga
are twanged by little hammers which
w cause to strike when we hit the
keys, the strings vibrate. The vibra-
Good Old Days in
Portland Discussed
pages in Interesting Book of Time
Turned Back by Members of Iiang
Syne Society.
The good old days when everybody
knew everybody else in Portland were
discussed at the meeting of the Lang
Syne society at the Portland Heights
clubhouse last night.
There are 400 members, many of
whom are men who were In business
in Portland before 1811. To qualify
for membership, a business man must
have been identified with the commer
cial life of the city before that year.
J. K. Gill, president of the society,
told of his early experiences in the
book business, and what a daring step
It was considered he was making when
he removed his etore from Front to
First street.
Many were the tales of humor or of
pathos that the old folks told of the
days befora-anyone dreamed that Port
land would become a great city.
But having seen the growth of the
past half century, many of tho mem
bere behold the future with prophetic
eye, and see Portland's greatness aug
mented until she shall be the great
city of the west coast, as New York
is at the Atlantic seaboard.
-There was no formal program last
night. Everyone talked and told sto
ries, and many old friends wh live
In distant part of the city renewed
their acquaintance.
George H. Himes, assistant secre
tary of the Oregon Historical society,
showed stereopticon pictures of Port
land from Its log cabin beginnings to
tbe present.

"Why don't all the keys sound the
aarne?" This from Sister Bell.
"Because the strings are made to
grow fhorter and shorter and af-e ,
stretched tighter and tighter toward. .
the top of the keyboard. These tight- .
er, shorter strings vibrate faster than
the longer, looser ones, and make a
higher note. - -j 1
"You hav seen people ride past on
bicycles. They stretch rubber fronts
the Veat of the bicycle to the back
wheel. As they ride through the wind,
the wind twangs the tightly drawn
rubber band, causing it to vibrate and
make a singing noise. The strings of
the piano sing in the same way when ;
they gre twanged by the tiny hammers.',
"How do we know which hammer to
hit?"
"Because we know the keyboard, -and
that when we strike a certain key it
will give a certain sound. By striking
several of these keys at the same time, r
or certain ones In succession, we have
a melody, a song."
"1 think tt.e piano Is coming around
the corner now." uhouted Hcuffy. "And
oh, there's a monkey: Walt until I s
run and get my penny."
A few minutes later the children
were taking Mr. Monkey by the hand,
while the piano tinkled a merry tune, '
and the piano man smiled bro.idly at
their delight
