"It ns simply a fight between the

and aoiily government that In general
would 'favor conditions more accepta

elected moyor of Portland, to the
East Oregonian this morning.
The doctor, who is here today. to
attend the meeting of the state board

was seen In the lobby of the Hotel

other things he wild that It was not a
personal contest In any way, und de
clared that the condition would have
been the tame had Mr. Williams and
hlmrelf been out of the city, laugh
Ingly adding that possibly the city
would be better .off -without either.
He says Hint no one questions the
personal character or repututlon of
ithe present mayor, but he was. defeat
ed simply because he was surround-
ed by men and Influences of which
;the people did not approve. On the
general sentiment of Portland he
said:
'"There Is no question but that the
people of Portland are going to de
mand a closer regulation of affairs in
the future, and during my adminis
tration no open gambling will be al
lowed. The professional gambler or
adherent Is a man who does no good
In any community, for he creates
nothing and simply -press off those
who are foolish enough to become his
victims. I believe that the "tinhorn"
with his good cknhes, polished shoes
.and facicy shirt is a menaoe to the
young men and girls of a city, and
should lie compelled to go into some
-other business."
According to Dr. Lane the fight
:against lilm was not by (the better
.class of saloon men In Portland, for
;he says that those who run respucta
'ble house and obey the Jaws were
mot greath-' Interested in the fight,
rthough niny were forced by their
:assoclatlnns to line up against lilm.
"During iny campaign I made no
jiKomtses or pledges to anybody, or
to any combination, except that I
would enforce the laws and give a
good an administration as was in uiy
power," said he. "Consequently, I
am mow free to do as I see best."
The new mayor believes that the
people like to fee an official do his
duly and enforoc the laws. Accord
ing to him Sheriff Word has made a
hit by ithe way In which he closed
gambling in Portland, after the city
govermoent had rtused to do so. Now
whenever the sheriff's name Is men
tioned at a public meeting it Is greet
ed with Instant applause.
Pcrwunol AiM'ainnjip and Views.
Personally, the new mayor of Port
land Is a man of medium size, and in
the face looks like the pictures pub
lished of him during the campaign.
However, the Bpotted collar and the
checkered garb Is not In .evidence and
Is declared br him to bawe been an
out-and-out slander by Hurry Mur

According to his own statement,
the doctor Is not a Puritan, and does
not belong to a church. He swears
like a sailor when the occasion de
mands such language, drinks whis
key, but has never gambled because
he does not think he could win any
thing. He said that he has some
friends among the better class of sa
loon men In Portland, but would
rather see them in some other busi
ness. As a citizen he Is In favor of a

HELD FOR MURDER.
t'oinanloii ol Dudley Cully Accused
of Killing .lilm.
Walla Walla, June Following a
verdiot rendered by a coroner's Jury
that Dudley Cully, 'the young man
shot flown at the W. ft C. R. depot
Tuesday night, came to his death by
a gunshot wound, .inflicted by un
known parties, Harry Schonleber. a
companion of the dead boy, was for
mally charged with the crime last
evening. An Information filed by
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson was
served on the young man and he was
placed In the county Jail.
Schonleber borrowed the pistol
from a saloon about 10 o'clock, and
about an .hour afterward returned It.
He admitted being with Cully at the
time of the shooting, but says Cully
grabbed the gun away from him
(Schonleber) and shot himself. How
ever, there were no powder burns on
CuIly'B face and It Is'thought the sui
cide theory Is Impossible.
Schonleber at first denied any
knowledge of the killing, but after
ward told a rambling stoiy of Cully's
suicide.
Serious Complications Foreseen.

PERFUNCTORY" AFFAIR.
(Crowd Siniill niid Paid Mule Attention
to tlie Exercises.
From accounts given by those who
returned last evening from Portland
after having attended the exercises
on "Pendloton Day," the occasion
was not the gorgeous affair Indicated
by the accounts given 111 the Portland
papers, and, In fact, was very per
functory. According to Mr. Rader
the speeches and recitations given
were very credltnble, but the majority
of those who beard them did not un
derstand the ooenston.
The exercises were held at the Ore
gon building, and music was furnish
ed by a band. Addresses were made
by President Myers, Judge Ayers of
Heppner, Judge Bean of this city, and
by Cecil Wnde. Also an original poem
was delivered by Miss Neva Lane. A
small crowd was present, and people
continued to go In and out of the en
trance during the exercises. The la
dles are said to have remained up
stairs during the affair.
Of the hundred who went down
from Pendleton on the excursion
train, only a half dozen were at the
program, Judging from the number of
badges In evidence. ,
Another Date Selected,
Owing to the poor turnout at the
fair on June 7 and the few Pendleton
people present, Mr. Rader states that
the fair management desires to have
another date set for this place at a
later day, and another celebration
held when more people may attend
from here. This matter Is said to
have been taken up by President My
ers of the state commission, and It Is
possible that this city will be allowed
to suggest the date. '
Italy Is threatening Turkey for the
murder of Italian subjects In Arabia,
for which the Turkish government re
fuses to make amends, because it
cannot.
WAVELLE CUNNINGHAM SUICIDES.
Portland, June 9. (Special.) Wavelle Cunningham ' of Pen-
dlcten, daughter of Mrs. B. Cunningham, suicided at a lodging house
here last night by gas. She was a student at Stanford . university.
She left a note saying "This is a plain case of suicide. No use to
make any Investigation."
. Possible Motive for Murder.
Portland, June 9, S:20 p. m. (Spocial.) The police says there
was a motive for murder, and refuse to accept the suicide theory.
(Mrs. Cunningham, the mother of Wavelle, lives In this city.
Miss Cunningham has lived In Pnd!eton for some time, and was
very bright and popular young woman. A week or two ago she
bought some Jewelry In Portland, giving her check for the same. The
funds which were in the bank were In her mother's name, and Wa-
velle In giving the check signed her own name, and the bank notl-
.fled the Jeweler that she had no funds there. The firm which had
sold her the jewelry had her arrested In San Francisco. When the
matter was explained they ordered her release, but It Is supposed
that the fact of having been arrested preyed upon her mind and led
her to take the unfortunate and much to be regretted step of self-
destruction.')
