IF TAFT DII'T Kill IT, HOW Regarding Governor Haskells Relations With the Standard Oil Bryan Claims Ho Knowledge N ASTORIA SUBURBS GET RURAL 'PHONES Pacific States Telephone Company Complete Line Between Carnahan and Warrenton A farmers' telephone line, con structed in connection with the lines of the Pacific States, Company, has just been completed between War renton and Carnahan and therefore the residents of that rural section are now in telephonic connection with each other, and with Astoria and the outside world. This line has only seven subscrib ers tocommence with, but it is ex pected that it will soon be extended to many othc,r farm houses in .that vicinity. While connected with the Pacific States lines, and built under the direction of Mr. L. A. Newton, one of the representatives ot the company, nevertheless the line is an independent one anu is owucu v ly by an independent company form ed of the seven present subscribers. The Clatsop Plains Farmers' Tele phone Company is the name of the organization that owns and controls the new rural line, and Mrs. Georgie Pennington is the president of the organization; and F. P. -Parker, sec retary and treasurer. The board of directors is composed of W. H. Be hana, O, C. Hansen, R. B, Poole, L. A. Newton. In addition to the names of those mentioned above there are three other stockholders Hurlbut Poole, J. H. Kenny and E. A.' Taylor. Heretofore the Pacific States Com pany carried on the policy of con structing rural lines and renting the use of its lines and instruments at a certain rate per year, just as the sub scribers in the cities are charged, but this plan proved unsatisfactory Inasmuch as it was not always an easv thing to keep men on the grounds to watch the lines and keep up repairs, etc., and therefore a new nolicv of the company is to build such lines and sell them outright to the rural subscribers, just as was done in the case of the Clatsop Plains Company. It is understood that this line, which of course is in compara tively minature shape yet, cost only about $750, there being 15 shares of stock issued for this sum at., a share. The onlv further cost to the subscribers is the' nominal sum of $2.40 a vear. which is paid to the Pa cific States Company for 'switching charges at Warrenton, with which the line is connected. One of the best features of the new rural line is that the Pacific States Comnanv -ocrmits free service be tween all of the subscribers of the Clatsop 'Plains" line-and any and all subscribers of the Pacific Mates m Warrenton and Astoria. That is, no long distance charge is made, and the service is accounted merely a tocai one. Hence if anyone 1 in Astoria wishes to talk with any one on the Clatsop Plains line it is only required (Continued on page 4) BERLIN. Sept. 26. Two trains on the Berlin Elevated Railroad were in collision early this afternoon. As a result 18 persons are dead, while many sustained injuries. The accident was caused by a misplaced signal. One of the cars which was crowded with passengers was thrown into the street .40 feet below and shattered. The oolice were quickly at the scene and the work "of extricating the dead and wounded was begun. Ambulances were summoned and waited close to the sceneof the wreck while the in jured were brought out. Then each wagon with its suffering passengers hastened to a hospital. The collision occurred in the heart of the eastern commercial district, upon what is known as, the triangle, a notable piece of railroad construc tion where three double tracks cross, A model of this crossing was ex hibited at the St. Louis Exposition. Among the dead is Richard Wendt, an architect. Most of the deaths resulted from contact with the electrified rails. NEW YORK, Sept. 26. One point still separates New York an Chicago with the former in the lead in the National League pennant race. Both teams won two games apiece today.

New York... 90 52 .634 Chicago 93 54 ,633 New York's defeat yesterday only intensified interest in the- season's closing games of which the last is set for October 7. With New York leading Chicago by only a single point and Pittsburg but five notches further down, the double header games here today between New York 'and Cincinnati and Chicago and Brooklyn meant something. 1 New York has yet five more games to play than Chicago. In this fact, however, there was not so much comfort as before yesterday's unex pected slump, to Cincinnati, at the Polo Grounds. The procession of pitchers to and from the box, unable to conquer Cincinnati's batting, was dis heartening to the New York sup porters. The possibility of a change in. the position of all three leading teams indicated tremendous crowds Tat the games today, and preparations were made for handling them. 1 Early in the game the pressure of 'the crowd was so great that the 1 gates leading to the field were thrown (Continued on page 8) MILWAUKEE. Sept. 26-Defend- ing his knowledge of Governor Has kell against the charges which nave l.een brought against him "Until. the charges can be examined in some court where partisanship does not hi.-." Colonel Bryan today gave out for publication his reply to President Roosevelt's open letter. Bryan spcans nf the election of Haskell as Gover nor of Oklahoma and says, "The Con stitution was adopted and Haskell plected in soke of your admin istration and in spite of the speech made in Oklahoma by Judge latt. Rrvan charges among other things that the steel trust with your ex press consent "purchased one ot its largest rivals and thus, obtained con trol of more than 50 per cent of the total output. He asks the fresiaeni if he will insist "That in permitting this you showed less favor to monop olistic corporations than l uo m vV it Brvan abruptly charges that Governor Hughes quoted by Roosevelt as having "Riddled the .lomnrmHr trust remedy." and was himself beneficiary of the trusts and cites campaign contributions to tne Hughes; election fund two years ago. Among these are J. P.-Morgan, John D. Rockefeller,' Carnegie and Nelson Cromwell. Bryan says as f resident, quoted Hughes, he takes it for grant ed that Judge Taft has, not express himself satisfactorily on the trust question. After making known the fact that Haskell has voluntarily it "That he may be free to prose cute those who have brought the charges against him,'' Bryan opens the letter by the allusion to Okloho ma politics. He next goes on to say that he would not consider it neces sary to address the President further had not the letter undertaken to make political capital out of the Ha.kcll affair, and attempt to show that Brvan's relation to Haskell im plied insincerity of his opposition to trusts. Continuing Bryan declares for 18 vears he has fought trusts, and asserts that the President cannot find an act or word which justifies, this chartre. Declaring that he never had been informed of any charge made against Haskell but on the contrary had known him as a leader in Okla homa responsible for the constitution of that state, Bryan turns to" tne President's charge that Haskell's connection with the Standard Oil in terests was a matter of common no tnrietv in Ohio and asks if this be true ,why it was Judge Taft did not feel it his duty to tell the people of Oklahoma of this when laft spoke in Oklahoma. Tf Taft did not have that knowl erlae. whv should it be assumed, asks Bryan, that he (Bryan) had it, and if Roosevelt fcls it- his patriotic duty to denounce Haskell when he is only a member of the national orga nization, why did not Taft feel it his Autv tn denounce Haskell when he was aspiring to be chief executive of the great state. Bryan declares he had no-knowledge of the Prairie Oil case which was started when Bryan was in uen-. ntii after Haskell had been ap pointed treasurer of the national committee. So far as the arucic i the "Outlook" as quoted by Roose velt, Bryan says his attention had not been called to it until ne reau dawpH's letter, and even though he had seen it he would have hardly felt justified "In deciding as prompt ly as you do on an ex-parte state ment investigation." 1 "i Bryan compares the republican and democratic platforms, making his de ductions from the comparison that the republican party is lukewarm on MRS. RICE TELLS OF RUSTINS PLANNING Large Crowds Gather to Hear Woman Relate the Gruesome Story of the Omaha Tragedy "(Contimd on pag 8.) OMAHA. Sept. 26. Rain did not deter the crowd, anxious to hear Mrs. Abbie Rice tell her gruesome story of the tragic taking off of Dr. Jrrederick Rustin, as he had related to her it was to occur, and when Judge Craw ford's branch of the police court be gan at 9:30, the crowd was even larg er than yesterday. Mrs. Rice was the first witness called. She took up her narrative where it was left off yesterday when counsel for the de fense attempted to prevent her giving testimony before the court on ac count of alleged hearsay. The nervousness that yesterday characterized her actions was not ap parent this morning, and. her replies were given in a free and easy manner. Yesterday her story stopped at a point where she began to relate to the court what Dr. Rustin had told her were his plans to have Davis re lieve her of the proposed shooting and how he was to give Davis a sui cide dose in exchange for his grue some service. Counsel for the defense gave evi dence of an intention to fight every point in the testimony where he found an opening, by objecting freely. Mrs. Rice, however, was permitted to say that Rustin told her he had arranged with a man to kill him, and later she was permitted to identify this man as Davis. The state then rested. Counsel for the defense was given an opportunity to cross exam ine the witness, but this was defer red until Monday. BASEBALL GAMES. National League. New York 6, 3, Cincinnati 2, 1.

Chairman Hitchcock, of the Na tional Republican Campaign Commit tee, announces that the battle is to open immediately, all along the line, and never cease until Mr. Taft is where the people want him. This sounds alright and has been waited for patiently for sometime, with growing wonder at the delay there of. Mr. Bryan's campaign has been on for a long while; indeed, it has been on, without cessation, since 1896; it is always on, and will not fail to be on, until Gabriel does his trumpeting stunt. (And then some-) According to dispatches of politi cal color and significance, there is to netly in line with their most signifi cant and valued expression in frater nal work; and the craft owes it to it self to take such steps as will forever clear it of the undeserved reoroach. The time will come swiftly when the imitation tooth will have to be em ployed, if this work of slaughter is not stopped peremptorily; and the day may well be anticipated by those most at interest, and for the credit and honest renown of one of the best associations of men in existance to day, we bespeak such prompt action as will, for all time to come put final check upon the outrage. A TRIUMPHAL TRIO. be a general scrap made for the j then some, Astoria needs,' and is going to have, three things each and all indispensa ble to her future success as a com mercial center a well-defined and le gally constituted, port; a fine and per manent seawall with grades and sew ers to match it; and the common point rate of grain. These three, and scalps of the notables on both sides, in office and out of it, but within the line of battle. And we are not averse to the clean-up; it will not hurt either party, and the people will be vastly benefitted by the wholesale elimina tion, even if it shall include Mr. Cor telyou who is, in the minds of many Americans, conspicuously warped and concentrated to and upon Mr. Cortel you who, not very long since, came within an ace of forgetting the man who made him what he is, a national figure. Governor Haskell makes a startling and logical example of what might be done in this behalf. We are all ready for the fray out here in Oregon. Republicans are, in this relation, at least, a solid unit, on the far west coast, and Mr. Taft and Brer' Hitchcock may rest easy on the score of the returns from the Bea ver State. We might not tender so broad an assurance if there were any local issues set up for November, but so simple a proposition as Taft or Bryan needs but little bolstering, in deed, to make doubly-sure the' suc cess of the Great Ohioan. Go to it! We're right behind you!!. OUT-PRICED THE DIAMOND. We would rather see the tooth of the Elk-beast soar to values' far tran scending those of the diamond, bulk for bulk, than to have to chronicle any more of the shameless butcheries of that splendid animal, done for the sole, and specious, purpose of traffic The Port, and its commission, are perhaps, the most essential of the three advantages, since it may be used, .with logical certainty, in the acquirement of the other two, since both are indigenous to and correlr ated with, this initial and popular measure. Once the Port of Astoria is estab lished by the will of the people, in workable and guarded shape, it will be vastly easier to plan and build a seawall; and the task of securing the coveted rate on grain will be made a good deal simpler; for the port- com mission can carry out the provisions for a seawall and reduce the scheme to its best limitations of cost, labor and responsibility, while its authenticated interest in the grain rate will be re cognized and understood of all men. There is no use for many and var ied commissions; they do but set up local jealousies and contests of au thority; cheap wranglings that any community can well afford to avoid; they are all right in distinct and in dependent relations that under no circumstances of contract or conflict with each other, but where they inter-weave they invariably interlock and thwart the will of the people in all directions. The meeting tomorrow night at the Chamber of Commerce should be well attended by the rank and file of Astoria citizenship, and the Port of Astoria and its Commission should be given such an endorsement and launching as -will land it so far on the m its teeth. We can readily under- major side of the municipal vote in stand the ardent desire of every mem- j December next as to make it the car- ber of the great fraternity of America, the Elks, to possess an original and normal specimen of the tooth, since it is the signet of an immense and honored craft, but no man may con done an ardor that broaches the sanc tity of a dying strain of magnificent animals in the very midst of civili zation. There is enough of that sort of thing in the outer wilds of. the earth, in the savage, commercial glut tony for the ivory of the elephant, the plumes of the rare birds and oth er evilly inspired pursuits whereby the vanities, luxuries and non-essentials of life are kept pace with. It is, unhappily, impossible to disen gage the B. P. O. E. from this wretch ed practice, because, while it is not, assuredly, done by ,s the Elks themselves, it is done in behalf of that which is known to be pre-emi- dinal, commanding element of civic interest for all time to come What We Buy.

After narrating the provisions of the bill, Mr. Taft said: "The objection has been made that this is paternalism and socialism and introducing the government into the banking business. .The objection, is without weight. If there were savl ings bankfl in all the country as nu merous and as easy of access as they are in Massachusetts, in the New En gland States ami inNfew York it might be said that the postal saving tuink was an invasion of territory j property occupied by private cuter- j prises, although even then it could j be pointed out that the function per- j formed by the postal savings bank is j much more comprehensive than that of the ordinary savings banks. But j when it is conidered that in only j eleven of thirty five states are there saving bank facilities, when it is known that in the Middle West, east of the Rocky mountains, the average distance from any postoffice to a bank of any kind is 35 nriles, and west of the Rockies is 55 niiles, it can be rea dily understood that the private en terprises does not supply the need of savings banks which in order to furnish a motive and opportunity for access to the class whose welfare it is sought thereby to improve. Of the $3,500,000,000 deposits in savings Ibanks thirty three percent is in New England, 36 percent in New x ork, 21 percent in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illi nois, Iowa and California, leaving 8 percent of the total in other states. "We should not deny to our people throughout the country, opportunity to make the small deposits with the security of the government promises to pay principal and interest. Such a system will add greatly to the mon ey savings of the country. The fear by any class of banks that this would interfere with their business the experience in other coun tries has shown to be utterly unfoun ded. Where savings banks are establish ed they pay a higher rate of interest than the government will pay for de posits in the postal savings banks, and confer privileges on their deposi- j tors which it would be impossible to i grant under a government system. j A signifiacnt fact in connection with the postal savings banks of those countries where they have been most successful is that one third of the depositors of the postal savings banks abroad are minors and two hirds of them are workingmen. "The postal savings banks would perform a most useful function in case of panics because they are gov ernment intittutions with the whole credit of the government behind them, and would attract the deposits of those small depositors whose runs in panic times upon the banks pro duce such disastrous consequences. The deposit of this money in govern ment offices and the power of the gov ernment institutions with the whole ey in the national banks in the neigh borhood would furnish a means of meeting an exigency that no other ystem proposed has thus far of fered. "This postal savings bank system, however, does not meet the unquali fied approval of the democratic par ty. It hasnot the vote catching qual ity and involves orrfy the old fash ioned gradual movement toward bet ter things by means of industry and thrift and saving. The party under its present leadership must have some thing which offers a short cut to re form at the cost of the honest and the industrious. The democratic platform pledges the party to the support of a system by which all the national banks of the country are required to guarantee the deposits to the deposi tors in every bank, and this guaranty is to be performed by a tax upon each bank in proportion to its deposits, the proceeds of the tax to constitute a fund from which the depositors of any failing bank are to be paid and if the amount of the tax is not suffi cient to raise the fund required, that it is to be raised by subsequent as sessment on all the banks of the country and state banks are to be allowed to come in and get the bene fit of the same guaranty, under con ditions to be imposed by law. While the democratic platform does not ela borate the system it 'is to be inferred from the fact that the precedent in Oklahoma is relied upon, that the pro visions are to be like the Oklahoma law, and these are as above stated. "No one can dispute the importance of making the deposits in every na tional bank as secure as possible, pro vided the remedy adopted is not it self worse than the evil to be cured. The government has imposed certain limitations upon national banks which have already tended to reduce the losses of depositors. The result has been to introduce into national banks a class of men of high character and great business and banking ability, and the losses in the last forty years to depositors in na tional banks have been reduced to an average annual loss of one twenty sixth of one per cent of total deposits. If the loss even though small if would be of great benefit and should HAS JUST ARRIVED We will take great pleasure in showing you our line whether you intend purchasing at the present time or, not.

The question is whether we are to bring about an avoidance of this loss by the proposed democra tic remedy, or in a more conscrva tive and gradual way by perfecting the examination of bank and by rig id prosecution of all who violate the banking laws. BRYAN'S REMEDY. "The remedy proposed by Mr, Uryan will make the conservative banker pay for the negligence, care lessness, lack of confidence or dis honesty of the failing banker. It takes from one man without fault on his part money to pay for the default of another. .That is socialistic doctrine, and so violates all equitable princi ples that the remedy should be con demned for this reason. "To say, as Mr. Bryan docs, that the postal saving bank system is more socialistic than this is to give a curi ous definition to socialism. Postal savings banks take no man's money to make up for the default of anoth er. It merely uses an arm ot tne government which is not and cannot be discharged by private enterprises. Whereas the enforced guaranty plan takes out of one man's plan engaged in business of banking money to pay for another man's default. That is j pure socialism. Mr. Bryan suggests the expenses connected with the examination of banks, imposes a burden on one man for the default of another. There is Lno analogy whatever between the rea sonable requirements for the exami nation of all banks and the taking out of one man's pocket money to pay for the fault of another. It is a reason able imposition upon all banks that their accounts should be examined, and that their methods of doing busi ness should be constantly under pub lic supervision and it is reasoning, er roneous as it is refined to make the pro-rata cost of a general. bank ex amination a precedent for taking mon ey out fo one man's pocket for ano ther man's default, "It has been shown that in the state of Connecticut that if this system had been in force during the last ten years,' and the tax had been paid out but $31,000 would have been receiv ed. This illustrates the unjust, in equitable and socialistic character of a compulsory system most complete ly. "Now let us pass the socialistic and inequitable feature of this system and come to the questions whether it, will really help materrs. It is per- U. S. Postal Station 1 ASTORIA, OREGON.

MEN AND MESSAGES 4 The steamship Rose City .came down the river yesterday and docked at the O. R. N. piers at 4:30 o'cldck p. in. with 317 passengers, and left out for the Bay City half an hour latet. As she was about to leave a fishboat, for which shipping arrange ments had been made, was about to be hauled on board by the davits, when an attachment was served by Sheriff Pomeroy in behalf of the Tal- lant-Grant Canning Company, and the boat was left behind. There is some question of the boat being tak en without leave, or of failure in its purchase price, which could not be determined last night. On the Rose City's passenger list out of this port, the following names appeared: Miss T. 2tV. Hendrickson, Miss V. Yutalo, Miss G. A. Matthews, D. M. Stuart Jr.,, 'Miss H. Turgala, and four people in the steerage. With a fine of $3000 entered up aginst her for failure to supply her self with proper consular bills of health on her departure from China, by Collector of Customs McGregor, of this port, the Norwegian steamship Guernsey left up the river for Port land, and will load out wheat for EuYopean delivery. The steamship Xebraskan arrived down from the metropolis early yes terday afternoon and went to the Kinney dock direct, where she loaded 2000 cases of salmon, and left down immediately for the lower harbor, whence she will leave out on the first flood, for Seattle, for more cargo. -"The Lurline got alongside the Fisher dock last evening about 6:30, and went back on time, with a good load of freight and plenty of people, among whom were: H. D. Davis, Mrs. S. E. Chamberlain, Mr. and Mrs. Ehlinger, Capt. C. R. Spencer, Miss Floy George. The Portland-Asiatic steamship Numantia came down from Portland yesterday, in charge of Captain Ar chie Pease, and went to sea, bound for China and Japan, without any de lay in this port.

In this way the line should prove very popu lar and very valuable with the users of the rural line, as it puts them in direct and free touch with this city. .With the use of the rural. lines the farmer in an isolated district need no longer feel himself cut off from the rest of the world. To him the 'phones are proving a great blessing and a fine practical benefit. He can learn the markets in the city, he can call a physician if necessary, and in a score of ways he can put the phones to a use that saves him much delay and energy, It is understood that a similar line may be installed in the John Day dis-. trict by. Mr. Newton. That the. Pacific States Company will prosecute its arrangements for the new system with all speed in this city is said by Mr. Newton to be an assured conclusion. In a day or two one of the men from the general offices in Portland is expected here to look into the matter of greatly ex tending the subscription list. It is planned to have only the single and two-party lines under the new sys tem. .Mr Newton, who is quite well known in Astoria, was in the city yesterday and he now expects to take up the matter of a rural line for the John Day district. Meanwhile there is every assurance that the Pacific States Company will grant to Astoria the kind of a service that it should have had long ago, and probably by the first of the year the new service will be introduced. Commander.. Charles F. Pond, U. S. N commanding the Thirteenth Liuluhoiise District, embracing the North Pacific, from the California line to the out-posts of Alaska, with his brother, W. E. Pond, his niece Miss Pond, and a friend, Mis. Les ter, reached this port yesterday from a. pleasant cruise up on Pugct Sound, J on the fine light-house tender Arm j ria, Captain William E. Gregory j commanding. The ship herself has been nearly over the entire district, j delivering supplies and making good i all buoys and channel fixtures that needed care or replenishing, and has been three months on the cruise. Commandr Pond relieved Comman der Werlich during the month of June last, and came from the cruiser Buffalo, which ship he commanded for sometime.! He is a very pleas ant gentleman and deeply-interested in his new assignment out here. The present tour of inspection began on the 3rd of August, and Commander Pond went only as far as Sitka, re turning to the lower coast in obe dience to urgent summons from the department on other matter of im portance, but his party went on with the ship and enjoyed the cruise to the utmost.. All stations in Southeast Alaska were visited and as far north as Onn alaska, all manner of work being done in behalf of the service from Sitka and Ounalaska, down the coast, homeward, the Armcria reaching Se attle again on the 23rd of the pres ent month. v Commander Pond expects the light house fleet that lately left New, York, in these waters, on or about the first of January next; three of the ten ders have been assigned as follows, the Manzanita, to this the 13th sta tion; the Sequoia, to the 12th Cali fornia, station, and the Kukui, to Hon olulu and Hawaiian waters. The three light-ships going to their sev eral stations as follows: No.- 88, to the relief of No. 50, off the mouth of the Columbia; another to the Swift sure reefs, off Cape lattery; the third being assigned to relief duty on this station, and going wheresoever or dered. Commander Pond reports the dis trict in perfect order so far as he has gone, and has reason to believe that it is generally in prime condition at all points; but says there is great and constant call for additional aids to navigation all along the whole upper coast, and they are so indisputably essential, that he believes there will be a notable access of improvements everywhere in this field, during the next few years. In company with Major Mclndoe, of the U. S. Engineers, he will short ly make a trip to Orford, to inspect conditions down there, with a view to the installation of a light-house, or a litrht-shin off that headland; ami cp thence to Puget Sound, where the re cent mis-chance that befel the U. S. S. Colorado, has moved the Govern ment to set up new aids to naviga tion in Puget Sound. The Armeria will leave up for Portland at 9 o'clock this morning; and on the way up, the river will be carefully examined for such needed rangelights and other sides as may be required between this port and the metropolis. PERSONAL MENTION I. C. Sutton, one of Salom's high ly respected citizens, is in the city for a few days, and is domiciled at the home of his son, J. Oak Sutton, of the Morning Astorian office force.

About 25 or 30 of the- leading demo crats of the city met in the common council chamber last night for the purpose of organizing for the fall campaign, and after the session thoe reported it an interesting and en thusiastic one. It was voted to organize a Clatsop County Bryan Club, and after this organization was determined upon officers were elected as follows: President, R. M. Woodin; treasurer, B. F. Allen; secretary, James T. Wal lace. These officers also compromise the executive committee, and in their hands will be placed all the active work of the campaign work. Headquarters will be secured, and an effort made to instil all the inter est and activity into the presidential campaign that is possible. It is like ly that some leading speaUrs will also be asked to "orate and spell bind the populace, and froih all accounts of the meeting last night it looks ns if the democrats will make the Clat sop and Astoria Republicans wake up, and "hustle" a bit to preserve the normal Republican vote. The meeting last night had not been given any publicity, as it was desired to first perfect an organiza tion before the public at large was in vited to attend the sessions.

Mayor Wise left tip on the evening train, and at 8 o'clock began making a talk to the session there, and stopped a little be fore 9 o'clock, ju in time to'catch the night train back to town.

At the cloc of lh ftcsxion yester day, Judge Mcltridc adjourned court until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, -u hen the case of the State against I'niil Jaiuscii is set for trial. Judge McBride found it necessary to go to Hillfboro on Tuesday, it is said, and therefore the session was ad journed over until the day follow ing, j The case of L. Darling vs. Mrs. Millie Taylor, D. H. Welch, the Tal-lunl-Grant Company, et. al., occu pied the attention of the court most of the day yesterday and no other case was tried. For this case a jury was called and it returned a verdict last evening for the plaintiff in the sum of $99.50, as against all of the defendants, except the Tallant-Grant Company, and as to them the case was dintuixscd. Judge McBride had set Monday morning for the time of passing sent ence upon Robert Casey, theOlney man convicted of assault on a young girl, but this matter will now neces sarily also pass- over to Wednesday moVning. The grand jury did not complete its labors yesterday as had been expect ed, and it had a busy day of it. It is said to be probable that it will com plete its work by Monday night. Sev eral police officers were called before the body again yesterday and it is assumd that the question of Sunday closing is up for consideration. Mem bers of the Civic Improvement League have also been subpocned in this behalf. PASSING OUR DEBTS Oil IS UNFAIR POLICY The following communication was handed into this office last evening by a well known citizen, and speaks plainly for itself ,and is therefore published without comment: "Editor Astorian: J, take the As torian, and have'read in it about the seawall to be'made. I say if we are going to have a seawall let the men who own the water lots build it and pay for it. Seems to me there is a nigger on the fence somewhere, and these people who own lots are put ting up a job on the men who have invested their hard earnings in hill homes. Does this crowd think we on the hill are suckers enough to vote a tax on ourselves for the next 40 or 50 years, to build and keep in repair an old wooden wall along the mud fiats. I heard a man who works for the city say, 'Let the childreffW for it!' I'll bet that man didn't have to pay any of his father's debts, any how I know I didn't have to pay any of my father's bills, and I am sure I am not going to leave any debts be hind for my children or anybody etses i children to settle, if I can help it. 1 just can't understand how any man owning a home on the hillside could be sucker enough, or fool enough to vote for a bill that would tax himself for eternity for somethingHhat would not benefit him. Doe's this water land crowd think we have honey to feed the birds? If they have money to bum let them build their own sea walls and not ask us for help. -"HILL TAXPAYER." THE BEST OBTAINABLE.

The boys marched out last evening, a consid erable number of them going in a body at 4 o'clock, and the others leaving for the camp as soon as their workaday duties permitted them to go. The encampment will be con ducted on strictly military lines, and the time will not be passed in fun only. There will be drilling, and this afternoon a sham battle is scheduled to take place at 2 o'clock. For the purpose of seeing that the soldier boys don't go hungry, a cook has been employed and he will see that there are beans for breakfast, din ner and supper and for any and all luncheons; Probably there will be something besides beans, too, but it would hartlly be a regular encamp ment if the beans were not the, main dish. The members of the company have looked forward with considerable in terest to this encampment and if it passes off pleasantly and in the profit able manner that is hoped for, it is planned to have others of a similar nature at frequent periods. Probably there will be a goodly number of visitors at the encampment today, especially if the day is pleas ant. There will be no difficulty in finding the camp by simply taking the road to the bridge. Oysters. Day Center Oyster House, 420 Bond street. Oysters wholesale and retail.

I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straight en them, and with a death-like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working ;with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suitcase and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel. without it), ran to the water-tank, put a double dose of the medicine In the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in 20 minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was'all right, and I re ceived the thinks ot every passenger in the car."

SUNDAY, SEFL 27 THE MORNING ASTOUIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. Makes Good Address (Continued from page 2) mitt, Aow at mUsiblc, uiulcr the national banking net for banks to organize with a cupi tl of $725,000. The security which banks offer the depositors depend upon the amount of capital, the Amount of surplus and public confi dence in the officcri of little exper ience and indifferent reputation can not offer the public exactly the same security for the payment of deport! at ft bank with a capital of $500,000 a surplus of $250,000 and with officer known to be honest and able. Dc poitors, therefore insofar a ecurlty of deports in concerned are as likely to make their deposits in the $25,000 bank a in the bank with the capital of $500,000. "It i proposed to introduce into the law a limitation ato the amount of interest which tinder' the. system can be offered and paid on deport. Tlii it i aid Will prevent bank from offering excessive rate of Interest to obtain deposit. A limitation of this sort is difficult to fix, because condi tion vary so much in different parts of the country. That which would be high in one part of the country would be low in another, and that which w'rtild be high one season and certain condition would be another time. Hence, whatever limitation is Imposed. except when the normal interest I highest there mut always be an opportunity for those inviting deposit to pay a higher rate than that which conservative banker would pay. "If the loac were limited to one twenty-sixth of one per cent the amount of the tax on deposit of course would be small and each bank could readily pay It, although the principal would be an entire depart ure from equity; but the effect of a guarantee system on the character of banking would be such that the loc arising from recklessness would great ly increase, and the tax must Increase to meet the losses on every .bank in proportion. Instead of lost equal to one twenty-sixth of one per cent an nually it would rapidly increase in every financial stringency. Two ob jections are made to the conclusion that an enforced guaranty; syMcm would lead to reckless and disaster In banking. One is that the govern ment examination would prevent, and the other" is that an insult to the banking community to assume that the national bankers of this country, in view of their present high charac ter would yield to the temptation to recklessness presented by the system. 1 answer to the first objection that the government examinations do not now prvent banks from failing; that 'it is difficult for a bank examiner to discover the unwise recklessness and speculative loan, and that often such loans are made between the government examination and then the evil i done and cannot be reme died by strict supervision. Second, while 1 fully concede the general high character of the banker throughout thi country, my point is that the opportunity to obtain de posits and invest them on very little capital afforded by the guaranty se curity will attract into the banking business men of no experience and of speculative tendencies and will dis tinctly lower the tone of the banking business. THE KANSAS LAW. St' has been said by Mr. Bryan that republican of Kansas byadopt a plank in favor of a kind of guaranty of deposits, rebuke me for my opposition to the plan outlined in the democratic platform. This is en tirely inaccurate. The republicans ot recommcnucu me mcnt to pay the loss to depositors in any bank in the agreement,'" It is the voluntary feature of the Kansas pro posal that makes the radical differ ence between It and that of the demo cratic platform. It is entirely con ceivable that bank in the same neigh borhood and within the observation of each other may profitably and safely accept and guarantee the se curity of all for the benefit, of each, especially when they can select their partners. "One of the great merit claimed for the enforced guaranty of deposit Is that it will prevent panics. It is sufficient to say that the plan pro posed cannot prevent panic. A panic is not stayed by the promise that money will ultimately be forthcom ing. It can only be stayed by the production of money itself, When a financial stringency is on, It Is the cash the man needs and to say that he will get it next week certainly doe not assist him. No one who has heard that hi bank was going to fail will delay in immediately applying for hi money merely because he is assured that at some time in the future he will gt it. Therefore, the system could not stay the panic unlcm the fund were large enough to enable the bank to pay all of their depositors at the time of the run. A tax is proportion ed only to the lost sustained after liquidation and payment, to that the funds would be utterly inadequate to meet the demand for ready money which would prevent a panic. The total deposit of the national banks are $5,000,000.000. -One-half of one per cent upon that, and this is a much large percentage than proposed would make a fund of $25,000,000. The amount of money "that was needed to stay the late panic in New York banks alone was many time this sum. In other words, the cash need ed to stay a panic it is impossible to accumulate in any other way except by such emergency measure as is provided in the Aldrich-Vrceland bill in which bank are given an oppor tunity upon proper security to issue $5KVK)0,000 to meet such an emer gency, and are' prevented from over issuing by the imposition of heavy tax of five per cent.

The difference from the business and the tieing up of atsets between the .system is radical. It would be impossible to bring in the state, banks without making the supervision of them as strict as on the national banks, and if that supervision is to be strict, it must be under national auspices, and therefore in effect they must become national banks,. This will entirely destroy the system of state bank and will introduce into the national bank ing trust companies and savings banks. "Mr. Bryan says that as the gov ernment has the security why should not the individual depositor have the security? The government usually ha a large fund. The law requires that it exact security for its depos it. It is so large a fund that the bank can afford to give good secur ity to obtain it. It is to be observed, however, that the security given to the government is the security of the bank which get the deposits and, not the security of every other bank in the community. If, as between the banker and his depositor, the deposit is of sufficient benefit to make it an object of the bank to give security that is one thing: but to require every jj Beginning k'anmi have nasace of a law by which banks if they choose may enter into arrange- other bank to give security to that 1 mcnt with other banks by which depositor is an .entirely different they shall all be subject to an assess- thing.
