THE OIIZGOU DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND.- OKSGOIt wzdijesday, octoeei: is. i:.:. s 11 r CHICAGO OFHCER IE TO I. Detective Sergeant .Cartan of the Chicago police, arrived lata Tuesday night to return Glenn T. Aldrlch to that city to answer several charges of passing bogus checks. . . Atdrlch had been held by the Portland authorities for a week awaiting the ar rival of Chicago authorities, Aldrlch refused to talk when Cartan approached him with questions this morning. He will be taken back Saturday. ' . Tha Chicago police contend that Ald rlch'a, trouble Is the outgrowth of sev eral riotous days of high life during which the man passed bogus checks to approximately 14000. The first com plaint, according to the police, was made y Rothschilds company, on whom Aid rich la alleged to have passed a dor us check for $700. The complaint was filed after word reached that city that Aid rich was arrested here. Several other ' checks, one to the Coliseum hotel for $225. one to the Franco-American Auto Livery company for $450, the Marshall Field company for $750 and the Marigold Garden $600, are also alleged to have been passed by him during carousals. Besides the checks Itemised Aldrlch Is said to have passed innumerable other smaller checks on hotels, restaurants and business establishments, some of "which were paid, the police say, by Ald rtch's father before prosecution was started. - Detective Sergeant Cartan said Ald rtch's father Is one of the owners of the Wilson Packing company. G. O P. FEARS FLIP F (Continued Prom P I On) . Senator Harding, floundering In a oon fusion of views regsrdlng the League of Nations, Is to prospect during the next week the states recently traversed by the Democratic candidates. Ills managers concede their embar rassment as a result of their candidate's Indecision, but they are confident that "It will take a more serious break than he .has mads for him to lose, as one of them put it at St. Louis last night" The rival managers are far apart on the result of the presidential contest and sre scarcer? any nearer In their view as to the states that are considered by them to be really doubtful. ; BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT The Democrat candidate, carrying hia mission Into Republican Illinois and un certain Indiana today, does not concede the possibility of the opposition carry ing Kentucky. Missouri. West Virginia and Maryland with a total of 46 electoral votes. The Republican managers In In diana and Illinois are confident that the M votes from those states will fall to. Harding and that he stands better than an even chance of winning Ken tucky, West Virginia and Maryland. The fight made by Harding's managers In Tennessee Is In the nature of spec ulative long shot, due to their ahflity to finance an effort to break the South. There Is no question but that the Republicans will make a better showing In that state than ever before, but it is not at all probable they will carry It for Harding. The Impression obtained at close range In the states which Cox has visited during he last week Is that the Republican leaders do not think their ticket will be a walkover In the oountry at large. Theyare extremely sanguine, however, tbat even Harding will not be able to defeat himself by lack of decision. T. ey are not concerned about him personally, but they want to win and they have a plentiful supply of money to enable them to keep the advantage. LEAGUE HELD LIGHTLY - The great majority of these men don't View the League of Nations issue as the controlling factor in determining the re. -It. - That Is the professional Republican estimate of the one Issue which the Democratic candidate and his advisers have by persistent agitation made the supreme test of partisan division. It is .possible to encounter Republicans of Importance who express hopes that the Democratic candidate and his advocates will continue to exploit the issue on the theory that it will ttke the minds of the people off other features of the campaign. ' Spellbinders sent out by the Repub ' Jlcan national committee keep off the League of Nations and talk of the de . linquencles of Wilson's administration and predict continuance of its policies If Cox is elected. .

RETURN H GLENN ALDRICH FLOPPING 0 HARDING ID) ID Orcgonllfc that they bold " the ' president in high regard. ' ' . ' ' -- An audience of 15,000 la St. Lotus Monday night cheered the stricken presi dent for it minutes in extending a very cordial welcome to the Democratic presidential candidate. ETEBASS SURE OF STATE The 8t Louis crowd, by the way. wis a most Impressive event, even for that emotional state. Enthusiasm was un bounded, but It came before and not after the earnest and careful analysis of the League of Nations covenant by Mr. Cox. He was encouraged by the demon stration, nevertheless, as also by the assurance of Champ Clark. David R. Francis and other veterans of the party. They told him Missouri would duplicate the 29,000 it gave Wilson four years ago. and that St. Louis would wipe out the 4000 It gave to Hughes. Republican managers told me last night that Missouri will be close, but "we will win by 10.000 on the League of Nations issue, which will bring us at least 40,000 votes." Next to Indiana and Ohio, the Repub '.Icans are paying more attention to Mis souri than any other state in the Middle West. They count heavily on the In fluence of the Reed faction, although that Democrat Irreconcilable is appar ently supporting the candidates of his party. SPEItCEB DEFEAT FORESEE' Republican managers are making an aggressive campaign to reelect Senator Spencer, but the Impression seems to be general that Breckenrldge Long will beat him. The race issue Is destined to play an .Important part in deciding the battle for Missouri, as it will in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. The Repub lican national committee Is conducting a systematic canvass of the colored vote In .all of these states. Women of that race have no Just cause for complaint of lack of attention. They are proving gullible victims of loquacious and per suasive organizers of their own rsce who are working under the direction of the Republican state managers with profit. Some of ,the inducements heM out by the organisers would be most ludicrous were it not" for the acceptance of them as true. . Appointment to office and so cial recognition at the Whit House are suggested. The Republican managers In Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Mis souri arc stopping at nothing to line colored voters up for Senator Harding. Governor Cox has encountered evi dence of this appeal to race prejudice everywhere and has once or twice called attention to It Jn addresses. Republi can managers of Ohio, Indiana and even Illinois and Kentucky make no effort to conceal their dependence on voters of this type or their Intention to devote a great part of their financial budget to coralllng them In central and southern Illinois, through which Governor Cox passed yesterday and today. COL'RT COLORED VOTE The colored vote was of large importance to the Republican state ticket in Illinois until yesterday, when Lieutenant Governor Ogleeby, the Lowden candidate for gov ernor, struck hia colors and agreed to their recognition of Lent Small, tho Thompson nominee. His renunciation has Improved the Harding chances in Illinois, concerning which national man agers were worried. Their snxlety caused them to pay an unusual amount of attention to colored voters, particu larly the women. A leading Republican of Illinois told me in Peoria today that 60 per cent of the $600,000 fund expended In the state had been set aside to keep colored broth ers In liner He said that the Oglesby surrender is going to cause a revision of the tariff sheet because the colored voters are not so important today as they were yesterday.. The. same combination ex ist In Ohio, toward which the Demo cratic candidate Is working hia way pre liminary to a final attempt to turn the tide in Eastern states where surface conditions favor the opposition. The con fidence of the Democratlo candidate that the tide will turn his way during the last 21 days Is not to be shaken. He thinks the conscience of the country will be aroused by the churches and vindi cate his conviction that the League of Nations issue will finally give the bat tle to his party. Hunter Buys License After Arrest; Date Proves His Undoing Joe Orselll of Beaverton went hunting without a license. While this is not an unusual occur ence in Itself, Orselll happened to meet a game warden in the woods. This warden was Joe Craig. Orselll told Craig he had a license but had left it at home. This circumstance did not add any unusual aspect to the case. But tho deputy allowed the hunter to go in search of his license. The hun ter turned up the next day with a license dated several days back, but In court Tuesday, it was proved that Orselll bought his license the day after his arrest and had It dated back a week The hunter paid a $30 fine and $4 costs. Reservations Still Open in Trade Trip To Eastern Oregon Kleven reservations for the Eastern Oregon trade excursion still remain to be filled, according to a statement made by E. I. Welnbaum, secretary of the excursion committee this morning. A total of 89 reservations have been made while accommodations are provided for 100 excursionists. Details of entertainments befng pre pared in the various cities and towns to be visited are alowly drifting into the committee. A message was received from Baker this morning saying that all plans had been completed at that point and that a valley automobile trip and a banquet would be the principal featured. The special train engaged for the trip will leave Portland at 8 o clock Sunday evening, returning . to this city at 7 o'clock the following Sunday morning. Borah Will Tackle Ohio and Indiana; CooHdge in South New York, Oct 1J. TJ. P.) Colonel Thomas Vf. Miller, head of the Repub lican national committee speakers bu reau, announced today Senator Borai will make several speeches In Indiana and Ohio and Governor Coolidgt will fill dates In several southern states. Governor CooHdge, accompanied by Governors Morrow of Kentucky and Low den of Illinois, will begin hia southern trip from Washington October 17. Restitution Is Made A signed order dismissing the civil suit brought by the government against Patrick Rellly was obtained Tuesday In the federal court by Assistant United States Attorney Veatch. The suit is ended. Veatch explained, because Rellly paid $84. which waa due on Juniper trees, which Rellly ts aald to bare removed from the public -domalny j RAIL LINES FEAR CANAL FREIGHTAGE MAY BE RUINOUS Serious consideration of the rapid development of lntercoaatal ship ping through the Panama canal la being given by railroad officials of the transcontinental lines who sea in) this competition a possible Jeopardy to their through freight business. That this matter is being carefully studied and that the railroad officials of the transcontinental lines may have to take steps to retain their business was Intimated by H. El Lounsbury, gen eral freight agent of the O-W. R. N.. w,ho returned this morning from Chicago where he 'attended a meeting of execu tive officers of the transcontinental freight bureau October 6, 7 and 8. Questioned as to the possibility of a rate war between the steamship and rail operators, Lounsbury expressed the opin ion that a ruining competition of such a nature would be highly improbable, but qualified his statement by saying: "Transcontinental rail lines do not want to go out of the coast to coast business snd If competition gets too bitter, some action on the part of the railroads may be necessary." Lounsbury attended the lumber rate bearing in Chicago and said that while no disposition was made ef the case, a definite decision would be made very soon. i He also attended the apple rate hear ing at which the rail lines decided not to change the rate on apple shipments from western growing centers to east ern markets. COLUMBUS TAKES BJCK SEAT; DAYTOBE SACRED (Con tinned From Pace One.) watches by a local Jeweler. All and all It begins to look hopeful for a demo crat victory In Ohio. The commonwealth has apparently went nuts. Just about time for the pastime to start the stands was Infested by a dele gation from the plasterers. Bricklayers and Masons witch is in convention here this week. ' The plasterers expected to do a bigbu slness wile in Cleveland but they found the gang pretty well plas tered already. The break of the game come In the 4th inning when Larry Gardner was on 3d base, and Doc Johnston on first and 2 guys out. MASTER MIXDS SETTLE "SERIOUS" .The master minds met in the middle of the diamond, and had a long argu ment about witch as the surest and safest way to let Gardner score, and steel the serious. They decided to leave Doc try a delayed steal, and Miller was to throw the ball back to Grimes and grimes was to throw it wild to center field. The strategy worked like a charm. The game went along slow because in the world serious this year the Umpires throw a new ball out 'every other pitch so as to not leave and one ball in there long enough to get contaminated, and every time they was a new ball th rowed to grimes he took off his glove to shake hands with it, so as he wouldnt half to say "please excuse my glove." Immediately after the battle they was a mad scramble on the field for pos session of the ball that was in play at the finish. I did not-take part in this episode. MIDNIGHT SHOW GOES BIO Monday night, witch was our last night In Cleveland, they was a special midnight show put on at the Prospect theatre lor the visiting newspapers and other stray pugs. The headliner of the show was Johnnys Kilbane who was making his debut as a actor It was thought Advisable to treat us to the sight of a champion fighter as the serious has seemed so lonesome without Abe Atteil. Well Johnnie was the leading man in a play in witch they was 4 other char acters. The plot was as follows: The gal's father said he had a friend named Johnnie Kilbane who was a fighter. The gal said that all fighters was rough necks, and bad eggs, and she didn't want no rough neck and he would have Johnny prove It to her. So a meeting was arranged between them, and During the introduction .. the plot got lost. Johnny sung and danced and played the violin and leave me asaure Henry Caruso, and carl Randall and Mike El man that Johnny is still the feather weight boxer of the world. The funnist lines In the play was supplied by loud voices In the audience, one of them was "We want liquor" and it went big. RUBE 8ISG8 SWAN SOKG Well the serious is over and the out of town boys is starting home tonight The boys from Brooklyn is not. down hearted.

ULti Pi: Cgg & 3 S O VI THREE-MILL LEVY NEEDED TO AVOID JAYS FUNK That reauthorization by the voters at the election November 2 of the 3 mill tax, the same as was approved at the last election to cover the pres ent year, is the only action that can prevent a complete disruption of the city service beginning December 1. IS the declaration of. City Auditor Funk. His statement is based on an analysis of the financial difficulties confronting the city. The situation, stated briefly, says Funk, Is that the city charter aa adopted by the Voters several years ago fixed a limit of eight mills of taxation for the city. As the city grew this limit waa nearly reached In 1917. that amount of levy providing but little more than enough to maintain the service of that time. When the war period came and costs Jumped and the purchasing value of a dollar declined, this limit had to be removed and waa removed by vote of the people on a showing made by the city council. The voters by their vote have provided for an increase for each year since then. The last vote waa a year ago when the three mill special levy was authorised. WHAT CITY 18 FACING The situation now confronting the city is that of having this three mills elim inated and forcing the city to return to a basis much less than that of 1917 for the reason that eight mills would raise no more now than It did then and a dollar will only go about half as far in buying supplies, equipment etc., for mach services aa the fire department po lice department playgrounds, street cleaning, street repairing, etc Further more the voters since 1917 have added vastly to the city's annual expense and have at the same time enacted measures that have reduced the city's revenue. It is possible therefore to get an Idea of what faces the city if the three mtus fail. Since 1917 the voters have adopted the two platoon system for the fire depart UN s . . , , ; , ;; mill i " 1 iiiifiiM.ii i i " i uy;i yimum.M i in nnm.i i.l.i . m.Ln mp.. i aFlTIHtfsf IX , '- oMvvY I VfesBsjsMtfesj iMml . ;r7 fer I fear!

The voters have alio eliminated the former t per cent charge-on all public lmprov ments, requiring that the city pay for engineering these Improvements from money reoaived from taxation. This means an expense for taxation of $50,000 oa each $1,000,000 worth of street im provements. Next year the property owners have petitioned for many im provements and this engineering cost will run high. DAY FOR LEAGUE Boston, Mass.. Oct. IS. (U. P.)

COOL DEE OPPOSES c&Irgg HOYT SUBMITS HIS FINDINGS ON Chairman Hoyt of the county commissioners, who returned a few days ago from an extensive Inspec tion trip to gather ideas for the new Multnomah county hospital, met with Commissioners Muck and Hoi man and Button & Whitney, archi tects for the local hospital, Tuesday afternoon. The Inspections began at Seattle and extended to Vancouver, B. C, St Paul, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, New York, Brooklyn. Philadelphia. Montreal and other cities. The Vancouver hospital, says Hoyt pays its superintendent $7600 a year and has 1300 beds. The operating cost is $7.50 per hospital patient per day. The Cook county hospital at Chicago has 2700 beds and the per capita cost is nearly $1 a day, while cost prices ranged between these figures In the other hospitals visited. Hoyt said a striking feature was that in no place did he find the hos pitala more than half filled and that the general reason given for this situ ation was that prohibition of the liquor traffic 4iad cut down hospital cases ma terially all over the country.
