The major ity of whom were instructed for Taft. When the committee adjourned for the day, Taft a managers claimed a total number of delegates on the temporary roll-call pledged to Taft to be 554. According to allies the latest figure number is 539. The work of the committee today excited much more interests than that of any previous session. The visitors who were present on the former occasions were for the most part abundant today and as a rule only such people visited the Coliseum had business to transact. fJje hearinir of the Texas can efore the committee when it ad. journcd until tomorrow. They dis posed of the third, fourth, sixth, (if enth, ninth, thirteenth, fourtenth, fif teenth and sixteenth districts. It is understood unofficially that the con tests in the second and twelfth will be withdrawn and that the arguments only will concern the first, fifth eighth, tenth and eleventh districts The delegates seated todav from Texas are uninstructed, but it is said they will support Taft. It is an earn est desire of the committee to finish the work tomorrow night and in or der to facilitate this it has been de cided o consolidate the remaining Texas contests with West Virginia. The most important arrival of the day was Wade H. Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, who brought with him a draft of platform. He refused to discuss its provisions but asserted that in his opinion it would be the best platform that any political party has sanctioned in recent years. The number of Pennsylvania dele gates arrived today and it was stated that Senator Knox is m the fight to stay and the bigger the fight the bet ter they believe are his chances. S. S. Stephenson of Ohio, who opened the Foraker headquarters to day made a smilar announcement in the behalf of the Ohio senator. It is possible that his fight will result in the meeting of the resolutions corn committee over opposing the planks whijrii will be presented by represen ttves of the American Federation m Labor, and the National Associa tion of manufacturers. President Van Cleve of the Manu facturer's Association, anticipated by the issuing of -a statement today,' that the meeting proposed to be held by the labor men. He bitterly attacked the labor men's postiou and declared anything like tlie advocacy of the vmss legislation snoum oe evoiuea. I lie declared that (he union leaders i wim mid oecn me i toned n connec tion wiui tne coming labor confer ence, Gompers in particular, are Democrats, tlwtt they should not be recognized by the Chicago conven tion and if they go to Denver."

PUD GRAFTING Under the Protecting Arm of the Police MAY GO TO THE GRAND JURY Vice and Crime Are Brazenly Flaunt ed under the Eyes of Mayor Lane and Tom Greene's Police Depart ment and Other Authorities. HILL'S OPIN ION OF BRYAN n r- Says There Is No Demo cratic Party ENDORSES J JOHNSON Cry of This Political Campaign Should Be 'Taft, Candidate of, Political Patronage" REPUBLICANS DISORGANIZED fcverjr Time Bryan Says I Kent Faith" It Makes Mill SmileHi. Own States Is Republican to the lore, Explains HilL PORTLAND, June 11. With the new law in force which places the power of indictment for criminal of fenses exclusively in the hands of the grand jury, one of the first things to be called to the attention of that body is the condition of the city as re gards vice and graft. Free use of the probe by the inquisitorial body, it is asserted, will reveal an astounding conditions of affairs. Even a cursorv investigation, ac cording to allegation, shows that i gigantic system of graft prevails, embracing the North End, China town and certain disreputable resort in tne neart of the city. Concerned in this unlawful combination ami profiting financially by it, as alleged, are persons connected with the police department, the subordinate courts, county officers and other orominentlv m j connected with political parties. In fact, it is asserted, conditions rivaling those revealed bv recent r form work in San Francisco, and in proportion to the size of Portland's police department and the area and population of the districts affected, on as large a scale, will be thrown under the calcium lieht. Hundred of dollars are said to be collected month ly, by the graft circle accused of fos tering crime and immorality. Some of this bribe fund is reported to come from the Chinese, part from the French male parasitics infesting the North End, and the remainder from the white-skinned creatures living off the earnings of fallen women and making rendevzous of certain uptown joints of unsavory character. Vice and crime, it is charged, not only flourish, but are brazenly flaunt ed under the eyes of Mayor Lane and Tom Greene's police department and the other constituted authorities. Evi dence of the strongest character, it is declared, can be adduced to prove to the satisfaction of a grand jury NEW YORK. Tune 11-DavM R Mill sailed for Europe today. Dis cussing the retirement from active politics he said; "There is no Demo cratic party. When I met the late Governor Altgcldt shortly before the nrst so-caned ttryan convention, I told him the policies he represented would drive the Democratic nartv r-' j to hell, then when he begged for another try, four years later. I said: "You arc most there: stop before vou have absolutely ruined the party," but Bryan was nominated, and I saw the futility of a minority report with only ten votes behind me. "I admit the Republican party is badly disor ganized at the present time. Both the parties are. disorganized. There was an opportunity but I fear it has ueen overlooked. urn. ine cry oi tins Political cam paign should be Taft, the candidate of political patronage.' What else is he. He is put before the oeonle as a candidate by the power of political patronage, nothing else. Now both the sides in the cominir political struggle will have to go to the masses for their votes. They must draw from the masses and what bet ter man could stand against the power of the natronaee than Tohn Johnson who spent his boyhood in a county poorhousc. Think of it. Torchlight processions with banners reading "John Johnson, a poorhouse candidates," and from what I have been able to learn. Johnson is more than a mere near to the people can didate. He is a well balanced and an able man. "Every time Bryan says 'I kcot faith!' it makes me smile.. He has kept the faith indeed. He kept it out m Nebraska, his own state, which is now Republican to its political core.' The Democratc party never wanted' Bryan. Bryan wanted the Democra tic party. He forced himself onto the party in 1896 and attain what was left of the partjf in 1900 and now in lyoo he calls himself the Democratic party and says 'I have kept the faith'." that it will be warranted in takinn vigorous action to abolish the repre hensible methods in vogue and pun ish the evil doers. Never in the history of Portland were such shameful conditions no ticeable in the North End as at pres ent, and the traffic in human slaves is known to have grown enormously profitable to a few vultures in the form of men, carrying on their ne farious business tinder the protecting arm of the police.

BELLINGHAM, June ll.-Sheriff Wells of Skagit county arrived at Mount Vernon tonight from Stan", wood, bringing with him an Italian prisoner named Joe Fisher, arrested on suspicion of being connected with the murder of Mrs. Morrison at Haz- elmere. Fisher answers the descrip-' tion in part, but does not conform to age nor height given by Mrs. Morri son's daughter. She described the murderer as taller and older than Fisher. Fisher told Sheriff he had walked from Burlington to Stanwood this morning. He was very hungry when he reached Stanwood jail. From the broken remarks the sheriff erath- ered .that the man came from the Canadian" territory and passed through Blaine." In Fisher's pockets were a pocket knife with peculiarly long blades, a woman s lace trimmed handkerchief and a copy of a Seattle paper, which cotained' the first ac count of the murderer. One of Fish ers own hndkerchiefs had blood on it and his overalls were badlv stain ed, but whether the stains were made by blood is undetermined.

THE FACULTY FOR DAMNING. Of all the businesses that have to do with the public, the newspaper is the one that is most sharply in line for the praise and censure of the masses it represents, or tries to rep resent. At all events and times it is the open target for criticism, be it praising, or damning, or "damning with faint praise"; it never escapes comment, and it offers 365 fronts of offense or endorsement, in the year. The man behind the newspaper is perennially grinning or growling as the tide of expression varies day by day, but that is nothing to the public he serves. His mistakes are not like other men's, easily and completely negatived or hidden or palliated; when he blunders, it is plain black and white and with such publicity that it is accentuated and beyond all palliation; if he tells the truth about people or circumstances or events, there is always that contingent to whom the truth is a terror, a menace, a dread, and he hears from them quickly and grouchingly; if he deals in color, ambiguity, pretense, sophism try; if he smothers and hide and 'shields and distorts, no matter on what ground of social, political, com mercial or moral expediency, no mat ter what the merit of the end he serves by so doing, there is the other contingent that demands the facts about other people than themselves, and he is made to feel their displeas ure and lack of countenance. The faculty for damning seems to K' cultivated a bit more than the kindlier dispostion to. endorse and justify him in his big task of giving, and commenting upon, the current things of interest which he offers as news. This is unfortunate, too, be cause the reporter and the editor, generally speaking, are cheerfully disposed and honestly inspired and would rather give a pleasant account of their communities and people, than to disparage them. The public should take insight into tnese condi tions once in a while, if only to as certain how often, and how unjustly, it censures its local press. It is well to understand the sheer difficulty of always telling the truth openly. ASTORIA'S GOOD WORK. FIND A MARKET. If the new deep-sea fishing tests are to making good in these waters, it becomes the bounden duty of Astoria to find a market for the products ot the venture, at home and abroad. Efforts are already being made by the Chamber of Commerce to assist in this important matter, and the people themselves should not be remiss in the case. Astoria cannot absorb the entire yield of the sea fisheries; but there are enough trained men in that line of business here to know where and to whom to turn for the making of the market that is needed, and thev should, and no doubt will, do all in their power to assist. There should be no trouble in nna in and fastenine a ready market for the splendid fresh fish produced here when the worlds markets are open to the packed fish of the Columbia. One will appeal to the palate of the fish-hungry as well as the other, only the fresh article may not go so far. At all events it is up to Astoria to get in and do her utmost for the new trade, and we have no doubt she will do it, promptly and thoroughly. EDITORIAL SALAD If the increasing aeronautic news r.f the dav is a true barometer, the era of air navigation has arrived, and is one of the best copy producers.

The people of Astoria, for months past, have been engaged upon three several tasks of development along culture lines, that mean much for her nr.lift. namelv. the founding, perma nently and successfully of the Astoria Amateur Athletic Association, the Astoria Philharmonic Society, and the Astoria division of the Oregon National Guard. Every one of these departures stand for the physical and social ad vantage of the community. The ath letic group for the bodily culture and development of the young people, to whom health and strength and train ed muscles are a guaranty of endur ance and skill in the contests of life, in the maintenance of courage, the capacity to bear and do and strive; h mmical trroun. for the larger re finement, the unfoldment of the nicer cnsitiilitics and the acknowledged graces, that stand for the quicker recognition and heartier acceptance of the community in the polite world, that such acquirements invariably command; the soldierly !?roup for the best expression of the patriotic ardor and power of the community at those hours when such high asser tion is needed by the country. All are part and parcel of the civi lization of the hour and component thereof. The beauty of it is, Astoria ii establishing her branches of these accessories in down-right good fash ion, and making each, distinctively sound and excellent as thorough-going preparation can provide. This is the only way to start and maintain them, and the results will prove of gratifi cation to those who are sponsoring them, and creditable to the whole community that has contributed, and will contribute, to them.

The location of the plant is right on John Nelson's place at Onie da where he has farmed for the past 20 years. He has been using this gas 'for the past 6 years that this company is now digging down for a plentiful supply. The gas is there because it has been put to practi. cal heating and illuminating tests without a break. We want you to see the plant in operation.

Manufacturers Getting Reday to Sup' ply the Large Demand. WASHINGTON, Jun U.-If there's Ohe class of persons above another who are looking forward with eager impatient to the Chicago and Denver convention's arid the selection of the two party tickets, it's the cam paign button makers. Despite the fact that there is a brisk continuous business in the manufacture of but tons and badges for commercial and patriotic conventions and the, like, the man who is dependent for a Uv- inb on his pin money only has a real chance once in four years. Hence" it is unconcealed impatience that the campaign button men await the time when they can start the manufacture of the little tin and celluloid disks bearing the miniature portraits of the men who will be the principals in the forthcomng Presidential campaign. Of course, in these pre-convention days there has been more or less of a demand for Taft buttons, Bryan buttons, Fairbanks buttons, Johnson buttons, and buttons for each one of the likely candidates, but the real de- STEEL EAART Electrical Contractors Phone Main 3881 426 Bond Street mand will start when the campaign actually is on. And the men charged with the important work will not be long in supplying this demand. They have been all ready and"waiting for weeks; copyrights long since have been secured on sample buttons and badges containing every possible com bination of candidates. All that re, mains to be done now is to await the final choice of the convention. Im mediately this Is known, the rush will begin, and within a week the entire country will be flooded with tiny likenesses of the respective nominees. STAGE FRIGHT. BECOMING SERIOUS VICTORIA, B. C. June ll.-News was brought from China by the Tango Maru that the revolution in Yunnan and South China Js becom ing so serious that the Peking au thorities have, issued orders to the authorities of four provinces to as semble armies to attack the rebels who "organized a movement which threatens to be the largest of its kind since the Taipmg Rebellion. Seldom has a worse case of "stage fright" been witnessed in Congress than that which marked the lasjt four weeks of the session just closed. The leaders felt that they ought to adopt legislation on certain subjects as a preparation to "going before the COuntfY". but no sooner had thv mapped out a certain line of action than they were seared out of it by a violent uprising Against their pro posals in some part of the country or from some influential class of citizens. Particularly was this mi of tho cur. rency question'. Every fresh plan that was worked out to meet obiectinns in one quarter called down on the congressmen art avalanche of protest from other directions. If some genius could discover a line" of legislation that would please everybody and therefore displease1 nobodV. to he fol lowed in these years when president ial and congressional elections are to occur, he would win the eternal grat itude of "Uncle Joe" and his troubled licuteants.

Mr. Walker's visit is a pretty good n dcation that the fame of Clatsop's court house has spread far and wide throughout the state. During tne at- tr-nmnn Mavor Herman Wise played the host to Mr. Walker and showed him about the city, and it was evident that the Umatilla commissioner, who had never been in Astoria before, was agreeably surprised with the pros perity and appearance of the city. While at the Irving Club Mayor Wise borrowed a telescope so that the visitor miuht set a good view of the ciirroundine county from the htnffa The mavor and his iniest la boriously climbed to a coign of vant age and then assayed to use the glass. But it wouldnt work, first tne mayor tried to get the hanged thing into focus, and then the visitor tried to work the blamed thing.

The intention of the company is first to complete the road in the city and have the cars running as soon as possible. It was stated that cars for the use of the road had already been contracted for, and would be ready within two months. The cars will be new and of the most modern pattern. While it is the alleged intention of the man agement of the company eventually extend the line into the country, no definite action along this line will be taken at present. Nothing will be done looking to further extensions until the road in the city has been completed and put in operation. There are several directions into the county in which the road might be extended with apparent profit, but it is stated that considerable time will be required to determine which of these directions would prove the best investment at this time. It is expected that at the next meeting of the council the new franchise asked for by the Traction Company will be granted, as the provisions are prac tically the same as those of the ones under which the road was started, with the exception of changes in the rontes in the northern portion of the city, which will prove more satisfac tory to the residents, and have al ready been indorsed by them.

COMING 83 WORK HURRIED ON COLUMBIA JETTY ROCK DELIVERIES TO BE IN CREASED SOON FROM 2000 TO 4500 TONS DAILY. Rock deliveries at the Columbia River jetty will be increased soon from 2000 tons daily to about 4500 tons, and the work of pushing the structure to competion will be rushed, says the Portland Telegram. Owing to the bad weather which has prevail ed at the bar the greater part of the Spring it is feared that the project cannot be completed before the stormy season starts. But it will be so closely finished as to be about as serviceable as though every rock had been put in place. Gerald Bagnall, the United States Engineer who is iu charge of opera tions at the mouth of the Columbia, arrived at the city this morning and is well pleased with the progress which has been made. He says the limited rock deliveries and the in clement weather have delayed the work more than had been anticipated, but everything is getting in shape so that the best of results will follow be fore many days ealpse. The output at the quarries was not so great as had been expected on the start, but this matter will soon be remedied. There will be no trouble in taking care of all the shipments which can be forwarded at the jetty site. "Until very recently the bar has been too rough to permit of the sur vey now under way of being carried on continuously," says Mr. Bagnall. "As a consequence, it will take from ten days to two weeks more to com plete the soundings. While I am hop ing thlt an increased depth of water will be found, it is yet too early to state with any degree of accuracy just what the survey will reveal. As a matter of fact, I will be unable to tell much about it until the job has been finished." Mr. Bagnall is sure that the jetty will be the means of causing the bar channel to scour out to a much great er depth. He says that the new dredge, which is nearing completion on the Atlantic coast to take the place of the W. S. Ladd, will be around here before Fall. It is the intention to use her on the bar occa sional to assist in maintaining a deep channel. She is of the suction type and of twice the capacity as the Ladd, which could not be utilized at the bar. With a modern dredge in service down that way and the jetty practi cally completed this Fall, there is every assurance that the channel across the Columbia River bar will be deepened to the 30-foot mark at low tide before another season rolls around. When that has been done there will be sufficient water at the entrance to the river to accommodate the largest ship or steamer that ever visited a Pacific Coast port.

Brusie, clubman and play wright, charged with embezzlement of the funds of the Metropolitan Sur ety Company, were ordered stricken front the bonds of the court, and the bondsmen released from their obliga tions in the matter by Police Judge Weller today. From the bench, Judge Welter said that he had issued the complaint and the warrant for the ar rest of Brusie upon statements he af terwards learned were false. He spoke feelingly of the dead man, and of his friendship. The action of Judge Weller fol lowed an eloquent appeal for such action .by .Attorney Samuel Short ridge, who referred to the charges made against Brusie as hasty, malic ious and wicked. The remains of Brusie, accompanied by his widow, arrived in the city at noon today, and were conveyed to an undertaking establishment. Arrange ments for the funeral ceremonies and the cremation of the body are being made. -No one appeared to press the charges against Brusie, and it is un derstood that they will be dropped and his memory cleared of the stain placed upon it. Brusie died a few hours after his arrest. His heart had been affected. Morning Astorian delivered by car rier, 60 cents per month.

Petition For Dredging Operations in the Lewis and Deep Rivers. l Petitions have been drawn up and placed in circulation for signatures requesting the Oregon and Washing ton delegations in Congress to use their best influence toward securing appropriations from the Government to be expended in deepening the channels of the Lewis and Deep Rivers, important tributaries of the lower Columbia. The papers are be ing signed by representatives of the river navigation companies, and the business men in the small towns on the streams needing improvement. Relative to the Lewis River, the petitioners aver that for practically three months of the year the town of La Center, on the East Fork, is with out transportation facilities, It is ex plained that such is the situation dur ing the low water period, and because of it many of the farmers make no effort to raise much more produce than required for home use. If the river should be made navigable the year around, it is predicted that the ship ments from that section would be greatly increased, Concerning the other proposed pro ject the petitioners desire that the Deep River channel be dredged to seven or eight feet. At the low water mark it is but three and a half feet deep, which is inadequate to handle the tra flic. The chief industry is log ging and lumbering. Statistics have been compiled, showing that iu 190? the commerce was as follows: 90,000, 000 feet of logs, 10,000 barrels of crude oil, 600 tons of steel rails, 300 tons of machinery, 3350 tons of gro ceries and provisions, and 290,000 feet of railroad tics.
