4 REJECTION OF MINISTER GOES UP TO GOMPERS The rejection of Rev. w. .1. Hindley as a fraternal delegate to the Central La- hor union -will he formally put before President Gomp- ers of the American Federa- tion of Labor by the action of the Typographical union in adopting resolutions of withdrawal from the central body. The Typographical union last night formally notified the Central Labor union ot its withdrawal from that body on account of the rejec- tion of the credentials of Rev. \V. J. Hindley as a fraternal delegate. Resolutions adopted hy the union, which In scathing terms denounced .the action of the central body in this particular instance, were read last night. The resolutions charged the re- fusal of admission to the meetings of the central body to a representa- tive of The Press to the saloon in- fluence, and also stated that the same influence had threatened t_o_ have the representative of the | Printing Pressmen expelled be- cause of the stand taken by that organization in favor of seating Rev. Hindley. The printers also denounced the ! state representative of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. C. O. j Young, in the following language: j "That we regret that the state rep- resentative of the American Fed- eration of Labor should throw his influence and efTorls upon the sitle so manifestly against the best in- terests of organized labor of this city, as well as distinctly at variance with the expressly policy of the American Federation of Labor." The reading of the resolutions was received without comment, no attempt being made to deny or dis- prove any charge preferred by the Typographical union. The matter was referred to the organization committee to see what action can he taken for the pur- pose of bringing pressure to hear ion the union to return its represen- tatives. MOORE SCORED ON DOUST The fact that W. .T. Doust. can- didate for mayor on the republican ticket, did not accept the invitation of the Fourth Ward Civic club and address it and state his policy in the matter of administering city af- fairs, if elected, today has created considerable adverse criticism, par- ticularly because C. Herbert Moore, ihe other candidate on the republi- can ticket, addressed the Civic club of the German eMthodiat church and stated that he was in favor of a cleaner and more moral adminis- tration than that now In power. Doust and his lieutenants stead fastly refuse to announce them- selves either for or against local conditions coming up as an issue In the campaign. Cordon Corbaley has taken charge of the registration for the Moore campaign and at a meeting in Dahms & Wheeler's office last night laid plans to boost registra- tion and get the Moore men out to the primaries. E. F. Waggoner, the Doust marshal of registration, is about a week ahead of Corbaley. having heen strenuously at this sort of worl; and having sent post cards to every voter in the city urg- ing immediate registration. The 10,000 mark has been pass- ed in the registration books and tonight there will be more than 10.Son registered. It will be sev- eral days yet before the heavier registration will begin. The fig- ures of E. F. Waggoner, who says he expects a 14,000 registration and 12.000 vote, are considered too high by old politicians. Not more than 7o per cent of the registration has voted In the past history of the city. FORT WRIGHT HEARING An official hearing for and against the right of way across the Fort Wright military reservation, asked for by the Portland & Seat- tle railway, will be held at 10 o'clock Friday morning In the coun- cil chambers.

While so much publicity has been given the fact that a petition was being sign- ed in protest against the right of way. another petition has been quietly circulating recommending the project.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE CANDIDATES ARE CAREFUL Talk about your graceful side- stepping," said Dr. Munro this morning, "We had iho greatest exhibition of the art at the moot- ing last night of tho Fourth Ward Improvement club. The Spokes- man-Review says that candidate J. T, Snyder favored the initiative and referendum. Mr. Snyder did not say anything of the kind. Wiiat he did say was that the law might lie a good tiling." He did not be- lieve in raising saloon licenses. The answers of other candidates an' said to have been about as definite on many of the questions asked by members of the club. George M. Reasoner, republican candidate for councilman, said he was heartily in favor of the initia- tive and referendum, hut would not commit himself on Sunday closing. Ceorgj w. Burcn, democrat; Robert L. Dalke. republican; ("has. W. Mohr, republican, and .lames Maxwell, democrat, all sidestepped tho Sunday closing of saloons. .\. .1 Laumer, democrat candidate for re-election, promised to con- tinue his efforts for the betterment of the ward. Frank Ledwith came out squarely and said he did not. favor Sunday closing and would give 1 man all tho licenses he wanted as long as he conducted an orderly house. J. T. Synder baa the backing of the saloon element and the W. W. P. Co. it is known that "Dutch .lake" attempted to rrerea; Council- man Laumer' for Snyder al the last election. There is little doubt hut the reputed boss of the \u25a0'Tender- loin" was acting for the power monopoly. The scheme adopted was to se- cure the assistance of the waid rep- resentative of the Retail Liquor Dealers' association and through him convince B. Schade. the brew- er, that the association wns out to defeat Laumer. Schade has a number of saloons along North ' Monroe and these saloon men were j instructed to go down tho line against Laumer. When Schade was informed that the whole thing was a Job to defeat Laumer and that the liquor dealers had not started a fight against Laumer, he called his forces off and refused to per- mit himself to be used for the pur- pose of electing W. W. P. can- didates. E. A. Cooney, democrat candidate for council, sent it Utter, being un- able to be present in person, stat-j ing he favored the initiative and referendum law and tne strict reg-j ulation of vice. RUEF AS RUEF SEES HIM BY C. H. TAVENNER I j SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.~"Af- tei nil, Mr, Ruef. does it really pay Ito be a politician ?" Small, book-nosed, but with his I eyes radiant with onihusiasm, the i shrewde st of all political bosses i meditated. He was In one of his 6 rooma at tbe St. Francis hotel. |If he would have as much as turn- ied the knob of his door and looked lout Into the hallway he would have seen a half dozen detectives peek- ing around the corners. "I will give you my v iews," he , said Obligingly, "but I don't expect j to see them in print. Newspapers i never quote me coirectly. "It does pay- It P avf ' business | men to take interest in politics be-, cause on the kind of officials they put into office depends the pros-j parity of the city. It pays the WOrklngman because his taxes will be higher if an extravagant or cor- rupt man is at the bead of the city's government. " pays women to study politics because politics di- rectly affects the public schools. "Any man thai doesn't vote is a criminal. If there is grafting among city officials all the men that di'ln't vote at the election that put them in office should be round ed up and charged jointly with the offenders. "There is no city, county or state that has an absolutely pure govern- ment, and there never will be un- til everybody votes. "Yes, it pays to be a i>o!itioian. but not an office holder. There is a continual rain of mud on public servants. Faithfulness is not ap- preciated. But few good men want to accept an office." "But. does it pay to be in poli- tics if you are going to lie honest?'' the political boss was asked. "There is no profession in which dishonesty pays," he answered smilingly. "But you made money in poli- tics, didn't you?" asked one of the newspaper men. "The very Idea," exclaimed the sharp little man. "I made my money in real estate." ' Ruef is of the type of men who 1 thinks twice before lie speaks and then says something else. He I never loses his head, but saves I half his anger for the next time!, Nor is he built along the line- of the typical "ward healer." lie is neither blunt nor coarse. If you would call him a thief, he would probably smilingly assure you you were in the wrong. And if he should start to assure you of anything, he would no donbt SPOKANE PRESS, TUESDAY, APRIL 2,1907. accomplish his purpose. For it is in his personality that this great little man stands head and should- ers above any political boss that any city ever produced. Men go to his office furious with rage and coem out smiling. He is always courteous, always patient and al- ways persistent. On the street Ruef would never be taken for the genius he is, how- ever. You might think him a well- to-do second hand dealer, but never for a man who made a clean mil- lion out of the political game, and that without ever having held an ofTVee. Ruef has the reputation of "sticking" by his friends. Al- though 4J) years old he was never married. "My sister is my sweet- heart." is the way he puts it. And the real fact is that Ruef still has political friends aplenty, more than Mayor Schmitz, no doubt. San Francisco is glad to be free from his power, yet for this little man who could do things an occasional kind word is heard.

Tho propounding of these questions was for the purpose of crystalizing sentiment in favor of these improvements. Those opposed to publishing re- plies of candidates said a number of the staunch friends of organized labor now in office had requested that such action be taken by the central body, as they did not want publicity, being afraid they would lose some votes if they went on record for these propositions. E. A. Cooney, candidate for coun- cilman in the Fourth ward, said he was not in favor of the motion and wanted every candidate to be com- pelled to place himself on record on these questions. Others held to the same view ami Ihe motion was lost, witli the result that some of the "gumshoe" politicians \u25a0will have to go on record publicly one way or the other. The Central Labor union also voted down a proposition to try to pledge candidates for office to sup- port any move sanctioned by the Central Labor union and the Structural alliance. John McChessney, candidate for the nomination for comptroller on the republican ticket, said he was opposed to the entire proposition, that no man would want to pledge himself in advance for measure of which lie knew nothing. The Clerks' union reported mak- ing progress. The demand for service by union clerks on the part of union men is having a good effect in building up the local union. KNOCKS MEMORY OUT COSHOCTON, 0..
