Russell Albee was elected mayor of Portland at yesterday's election, the first to be held under the commission form ot government. This fact was estab lished late this afternoon when re turns Irom 85 precincts complete, counting first, second and third choice votes, gave Albee a lead of 531 votes over A. G. Rushlight, pres ent mayor. It was the vote ot the east side resident districts and particularly that of the women who flooded In numbers to the Albee standard that defeated Rushlight. Practically all of the large east Bide residence precincts heard from have gone for Albee. With many of these precincts in the 79 yet remain ing to be heard from, Albee's plu rality will probable be considerably increased when final returns are In. The total vote, counting all choices from the 85 precincts com pleted stood 9,340 for Albee; 8,809 for Rushlight, with McKenna, with a large mass of second and third choice votes keeping him In the race, third, with 7,370 votes.

There was no evidence then that the final summons was so soon to come to the gray haired old hero, and that his last act on this earth would be to honor the memory of those with whom he had fought his country's battles.

Wolgast made this dec laration today, with the addition that his decision does not mean that he will break with Jones, for the rea son that when the time comes, Jones "will come around." "Sure, I'll fight Watson," Wolgast said at Doyle's camp, where he Is training for a battle at Vernon June 10 with Johnny Dundee. "I would not let anything like that get away i f fin comes through with the price. That's all I am waiting for." Woluast stated that if he signs to fhrh': Watson it will not interfere with his fight here with Dundee.

Incom plete returns from 70 precincts lndl cated that Rushlight was maintain Ing his lead. Ralph C. Clyde, W. L. Brewster Robert Dieck, Will Daly and T.

Nothing definite could be learned on the outcome of the charter amend ments although It was believed that the firemens pension act had been adopted. On account of the first, second and third choice plan being used In thl election for the first time, the re turns are coming in slowly. A. L. Barbur was elected auditor by an overwhelming vote. He re celved three times as many first choice votes as his three opponent combined. PUBLISHER NELSON IS RELEASED FROM CONTEMP' The high efficiency ot the local postofflce force was demonstrated recently when A. S. Rand, of the postal department, put the office clerks through the examination that has been demanded ot all offices. This test consists of the clerk pro perly placing cards bearing the names of the 669 money order post- offices of the state according to the : counties, a specified time of 40 min utes being allowed for the test. A clerk to retain his position must make an average of at least 95 per cent In the test, but It is known that the local force made an average of at least 99.50 per cent, a remarkable record, only a single error being made In the most ot the cases, and only about a third ot the allotted time was consumed.

What Is prob ably the first Invitation a boxer has ever been tendered to spar beforo convicts was received and accepted by Bud Anderson, the Medford light weight, this week.

Bratton tunned seven, allowed only three hits and walked one; Hamilton struck out six, allowed only one hit. walked none, but hit a batsman. Hamilton's support was almost per foct. Frye, the Calvlnlstlc shortstop, played brilliantly In dofeuso, rappod out two hits and stole two bases, of which thievery tho only Waldenslan tally was resultant. Lnuner, In tho third, with two out, Hccurod tho only Christian hit of the game, and put his great speed to work by steallug Becond and third upright. Ho made a desperato effort to steal home also, and almost suc ceeded, being prevented by only cool, clean pegging and cribbing by Par ser and Taylor. Tho Chauvinistic run came In the third. With one down Fryo singled and stole second and third by close margins. In nn nttempt to nail Fryo off third, Catcher Smith threw over Teel's head and Frye trotted hotni. In the first, Taylor and Frye singled In succession, the former going to third, but Bratton, rising grandly, fanned Woodward, caused Hamilton to pop Infield and fanned Cramer. The Score.
