TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER ' 12, 1S22. THE 1 OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON. KOZER WILL ASK LEGAL RULING ON t ermine to acpt it. It U practically as certain that some one would enjoin him. HALL CANDIDACY With Senator Charles Hall nomi nated as an independent candidate for governor, and his acceptance of that nomination forwarded to Secretary of State Koser at Salem for acceptance, the center of' interest in the guberna torial campaign shifts to the state capitol, and the offices of the secre tary of state and the attorney general. Secretary Koser has announced that he will submit the question of the ac ceptance of Hall's domination, and the certification of his name for place on the official ballot, to the attorney gen eral for a. ruling because of the nega tive provisions of the statute of 191 -chapter 420 whch provides specifi-ca-Uv that a defeated candidate for a party nomination may not be an in dependent candidate for the same of fice at the ensuing general election. LAW IS QUOTED This law says "that no candidate for a nomination who fails to receive the hipheet number of votes for the nomination of the political party with which he was affiliated at the time of filing his petition for nomination, shall be entitled to be a candidate of any other political party, or to become an 'independent candidate a't the ensuing election, and in either case the county clerk shall not certify the name of such candidate." " It " is T further provided that the county clerk, after making the ab stract of votes in his county, shall Fend a copy of this abstract to the sec retary of srate. and that the secretary of ttate. in the presence of the gov ernor and state- treasurer, shall can vass the votes and declare the results. CAN'T BE CANDIDATE The law thvn goes on to say, "No candidate for a nomination who fails to receive the highest number of votes for the nomination of the political party with which he was affiliated at the time of filing his petition for nomina tion, thall be entitled to be the candi date of any other political party, or to become an independent candidate at the ensuing election, and in either case, the governor shalt not include in his proclamation any such candidate." From these provisions it would seem that there are three separate legal burs in front of Hall s right to have his naaie cn the ballot. First is the general Inhibition against his becoming an Independent candidate, having been defeated for the Republican nomination at the primary election. Second is the mandate that the coun ty clerks shall not put his name upon the ballot of his county. Last that the governor, even should the name have been put Uon the bal lot, may not declare his election. CONSTITl TIOXAL RIGHTS It is strenuously contended by Hall's supporters that this statute is uncon stitutional in that it not only deprives Hall of his alleged constitutional riRht to become a candidate for any office whenever he desires, but further that it takes away from the electors who placed him in nomination as an inde pendent their supposed constitutional right of nominating and voting for anyone, whom they may desire. Generally epeaking it seems to be the impression that the attorney gen eral will hold that the law is a valid exercise of legislative power, and that he will advise Secretary of State Kozer to refuse to accept Hall's nomi nation or to direct his name to be placed upon the official ballot. ONE tJUALIFICATION . There is one qualification of this contention, however, and that is that the failure of the law specifically to command the secretary of state to re fuse to accept the name for certifica tion mav leave his office, in Us aamin Istrative discretion, with no authority other than to certify the name under the broad terms of the general law regulating independent nominations, and leave the controversy to be settled by the county clerks, or by the courts at the instance of interested parties. But whichever way Koaer may turn, the right of Hall to enter the lists as an independent very probably will be taken to the supreme court. Should Koser refuse to accept the nomination for filing Halt's friends undoubtedly would mandamus him. Should he de- H ALL'S ACCEPTANCE OF jrOMIJTATIOJf BEACHES SALEM Salem. Or., Sept. II. Formal accept-J a nee of the nomination as an inde pendent candidate for governor tend ered to Charles Hall by an assembly in Portland Satarday was filed with Secretary or State Koer by Hall this morning. The certificate of nomination, "which reached the secretary of state's office Monday night, recites that the po litical .principles represented by Hall are "compulsory education and devel opment." " . ' Five other -independent candidates have filed with the secretary of state's office up to today, the last day on which certificates of nomination for independent candidates may be filed. These ae T. M. Kerrigan, independent candidate for public service commis sioner to succeed himself : P. T. Johns, industrial " labor - party candidate for congress from the Third district, and Anders D. Bergland. A. A. Hogland and J. R. Xasholna. industrial labor party candidates for state representa tives from Multnomah county. A certificate of nomination, filed for C. V. Soderback as the industrial labor party candidate for county com missioner of Multnomah county, was sent back for corrections and has not yet. been returned. Candidates who desire to file by in dividual petitions have until Septem ber 28 to register their intentions. Only one such petition has made its appearance here, that of- George L. Storey, as a candidate for circuit judge for Clackamas county, and this was returned because of lack of sufficient signatures. SALVATION An LAYS STONE FOR NEW STRUCT! E CONTEND COIHTS SHOULD DETERMINE HALL'S CASE Slem, Or.. Sept. 12. The right of Charles Hall of Marshfield to seek the Oregon gubernatorial seat. as an in dependent candidate after iiaving failed to receive the nomination of the Republican party, is a matter for court determination rather than one of cler ical jurisdiction, according to the opin ion of attorneys about the capitol who are in touch with the situation which has been brought to public attention by Hall s acceptance of the nomination tendered him by the Portland assembly. A similar situation exists with ref erence to initiative petitions filed with the secretary of state, it is pointed out here. With these the secretary of state has never regarded it as his duty haned uDon the advice of the attorney general, to go back of the records as filed with him and has filed such petitions as were presented to him when insufficient signatures were contained thereon, without inquiring into the validity of the signatures, al though recent court action on these same petitions has revealed the fact that thousands of these seemingly regular signatures were not valid. Should the attorney general hold in the matter of Hall's candidacy, as he has held m the matter of the initiative petitions, that it is not up to the secretary Of, state to go back of the records as presented to him and the name of Hall be certified to the county clerks as an independent candidate for governor, it is pointed out here that an injunction proceeding attacking the right of the secretary of state to so certify Hall's name will be the only recourse. The corner stone of the new state headquarters for the Salvation Army at Sixth and Ankeny streets was laid with impressive ceremonies Saturday afternoon, with Admiral Henry T. Mayo of the United States navy chair man of the day and the Rt. Rev. W T, Manning, bishop of New York, officiat ing. Several hundred persons. Salvation Army workers, American Legionnaires and others who were members or neither organization attended the cere mony. Admiral Mayo in his opening remarks paid tribute to the great work of the organisation and especially to its service in the World war, and ex pressed appreciation to Br,lgadler Gen era! John W. Hay, division commander of the Oregon division. Bishop Manning told of the excellent work of the organization throughout the country and said that the affection and appreciation for the Salvation Army cannot be expressed in words. A miniature silver trowel was pre sented by the Salvation Army to Bishop Manning upon the close" of his address. Several musical numbers were given and at the close of the services the building was opened r inspection. The cornerstone bears the inscrip tion : "Erected to the Honor and Glory of God and the Good of Humanity." HAMMOND LUMBER MILL BURNS DOWN (Continued FYtwn Pt One) ACTRESSES VISIT MEDFORD Medford, Sept. 12. Mrs. M. S. Vos burg and Katherine McDonald, ac tresses of Los Angeles are in Medford. They are accompanied by Jack Morrill of Gold Hill, whose ranch they will visit. miting and ripping up great sections of the plank flooring had been re sorted to. were the store Containing thousands of dollars' worth of mer chandise, the general offices and the scores, or residences of comDanv of fleers and employes, which for a time were directly in the path of the flames and threatened with complete de struction. HORSES ARE SAVED Also saved were the stables contain ing many bead of horses used in shifting lumber about the mill yards. winiam ueyo, a 14-year-old youth suffered a sprained ankle during the rire when he stepped down from a box car from which he was watching the lire. C. E. Foster, Astoria fire chief, suf fered a severe cut across the back of one hand which Incapacitated him for a short time while he received medical attention from a doctor, after which he returned to the docks and continued to direct the firemen in their battle against the flames. It is expected that an announcement as to whether the mill will be rebuilt will not be forthcoming until the re turn to Astoria of J. A. Rankin, mill superintendent, who was in California when the fire occurred. This an nouncement Is being eagerly awaited by some 2500 persons living In Astoria and directly dependent upon the mill for livelihood. The burned mill.- working one side f S hoars a day? was cutting from 415,- 000 to 425.000 feet daily. " POWER PLAST BURNED The power plant at the , mill was burned, throwing all the electrical power which provides electricity both for street and residence lamps and for 1 commercial purposes in Astoria off. Power was restored and j lights turned on at 8 -.30 o'clock in the evening when the Pacific Power Light com pany cut in with its new million dollar plant at Smith's Point LOADED CAR8 SAVED Dozens of railroad cars loaded with lumber about to be shipped were moved from the burning area by switch en gines of the Spokane, Portland & Seat tle railroad. A telegram was dispatched to Ran kin Monday evening telling him of the destruction of the plant, which orig inally was built some 20 years or more ago by the late George Hume, and later sold by him to the Hammond Lumber company, which has enlarged and improved the plant until it ranked as one of the largest in the timbered districts of Oregon and Washington. The mill. In the absence of Super intendent Rankin, was in charge of H. W. Kissling. GUARDS HOLD CROWD Twelve large boilers and many powerful dynamps were included in the elaborate equipment of the power plant upon which the city of Astoria has depended for a number of years for lights and power. Guards kept the throngs of people attracted to the blaze. which could be seen for miles up and down the Columbia river, well back of the fire lines. - All of the firefighting apparatus of the city and that of the mill company was pressed into service in combatting the fire, which was a roaring furnace in intensity, and in preventing its spread la other property in the neigh borhood. SECOND DISASTROUS FIRE This is the second disastrous mill fire here during the past year, the previous fire having totally destroyed the sawmill and other buildings of the Astoria Box company, which later pur chased the holdings and mill of the Clatsop Lumber company, which it now operates. With the destruction of the Hammond mill, this company is now the largest operating sawmill and box factory. It employs ' several hundred men. It was reported the Hammond com pany will endeavor to give employ ment to as many men as possible dur ing the period of cleaning up follow? ing the cooling of the ruins. ALLIES AND TURKS ON VERGE OF WAR (Continued From Pig On) to quench the smoldering fires In the ; Balkans, which threaten to burst into flame again with the sweeping victory' of the Turks. Henry Morgenthau. for mer American ambassador to- Turkey, declared in an exclusive interview with the United News. '''"' He fears that the Turks will become so intoxicated with their success that they will next try to recapture Con stantinople and then possibly march on Athens in an attempt , to . consider Greece and restore the old . empire of Byzantium unless peace can be ef-: footed through the good 'of fleas of the United States. ' '.' Friendly intervention by a leading American - of impartial viewpoint, would,' In Morgenthau'a opinion, tend to reconcile Anglo-French differences in the Near East and result in check ing the rise of a new Turkey. He also expressed fear of a possible alliance between the Russian Soviets and the Turks. EXTHESELT CRITICAL "The whole Near East problem has been reopened in an extremely critical way," Morgenthau told the United Xews. "The Turks will now seek to reestablish their old position and re gain Constantinople and Thrace. Now is the time for the allies to take com bined preventive -measures before' a new world war threatens. America should join in these. She should send' a strong man to the Near Bast author ized to express the firm, . impartla. viewpoint of America, and he should do everything possible to reconcile Anglo-French differences there." Pointing out that the Turks over ran Europe in 1460. Morgenthau be lieves there is danger that the Turks, intoxicated with their victories over the Greeks in Asia Minor, will attempt another conquest. POSSIBLE SOVIET ALLIANCE "The Turks probably will present such severe terms to Greece that the latter will be unable? to accept them, whereupon the Turks will, no doubt, resume fighting," Morgenthau said. "If they are allowed to gel Constantinople they will assume an arrogant, unpre cedented cry for vengeance against the Greeks. They may attempt to con quer Greece by marching- on Athens. If the ambition of the Turks is not checked there is. danger that they will form an alliance with the Russian soviet. That would constitute a great menace to the rest cf Europe. "Retention of the Dardanelles by the allies is necessary to peace in the Balkans. The late World war really began with the first Balkan war in 1912. The Balkan fires are still smouldering. They must be extin guished without being permitted to reach the proportions of the first fires. It Is to the world's Interest to see that they are extinguished. "America need not send an army to the Near East. All that is needed is the active participation of America's good offices." HOUSES DIFFER ON SUFFRAGAN ISSUE Suffragan bishops had a hectic day Monday at the episcopal General Con vention. The-, won the day' In the house of bishops, but . lost .their fight for the franchise by a much larger majority in the house of deputies. Suffragan "bishops are assistants to diocesan bishops. - They enjoy all the powers of a diocesan, except that of a seat and vote In the house of bishops and the right of succession to the diocesan upon the latter's death. For three years the suffragans have been fighting for a vote and seat in the house of bishops. Last Friday they lost the day In the house of bishops, but on Saturday the bishops voted to reconsider their ac tion at o'clock Monday. After 30 minuets of warm debate the vote was carried and the franchise was granted 68 to 1. The motion to grant them seats in the house carried with 74 bishops voting aye. While the bishops. were voting, loud applause was heard from the house of deputies, ana investigation aiscioseu that they had Just voted to table the proposal to give the suffragans a vote. In the house of deputies the racial Question was brought into the argu ment. As a result of the disagreement between the twr nouses, it is quite orobable that a committee on consulta tion will be requested by both houses to go Into the matter ana mane re ports to both houses.

The Sultan is permitted to remain there with his personal bodyguard. The Sultan, being under the eye of the allies In Constantinople, has had no hand in this uprising.
