BOSS PUTT S BIRTHDAY IS SEVENTY TODAY He Is Still Vigorous Enough to Con trol the New York Republi can Machine. Now York, N. Y„ July 15.—This is Senator Piatt's birthday. He was born up in Oswego. Tioga county, a little town on the Erie railway, which he still claims as his residence, on the 15th of July. 1833. hence he is [0 years old. A few of his intimate friends assisted him to celebrate the event this afternoon and evening at the Oriental hotel. Manhattan beach, which place he has made his summer residence for many years. Although Mr. Piatt has grown old rapidly during the last few years, and during the Philadelphia convention was so ill that it was feared he would not recover, he has to a large degree recovered his strength, and is still vigorous enough to control the repub lican organization without question. The span of Senator Piatt's life can not be measured by years. He has known intimately, socially and polit ically. Presidents Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Johnson. Ulysses S. Grant, Chester A. Arthur. Benjamin Harrison William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. He has had a strenuous share in shaping the political careers Thomas Collier Piatt, who stands in the forefront of American politicians, as he looks today at 70. of some of them. All the republican governors of the state of New York, from Edwin D. Morgan in 1858, have been his friends, and some were po litically created by him. Vice presidents. United States sena tors, lieutenant governors, congress men, state legislators, collectors of the port of New York and other fed eral officers of the state, judges of the court of appeals, sheriffs, county clerks and county judges and all sorts and conditions of republican place holders have owed their elevation to Mr. Piatt. For thirty years Thur iow Weed shaped the course of the Whig and republican parlies in the state of New York. He was succeeded in a direct line by Wibiam H. Seward, Reuben E. Fenton and Roscoe Conk ling. Mr. Piatt was the direct politi cal heir of Mr. Conkling. Senator Piatt has held but four pub. lie offices. In 1858 he was elected clerk of Tioga county and filled the place for three years. In IST2 he was elected to the forty-third con gress. In IM4 he was re-elected to the forty-fourth congress, and in 187t> he declined a third nomination. In 1880 he was appointed a quarantine commissioner for Xew York harbor, and in 1897 he was elected United States senator to succeed Mr. Hill, who has been his political rival for many years. This year he was re elected to the senate without opposi tion in the ranks of his own party. A LOCOMOTIVE BLOWS UP. On the Union Pacific Near Cheyenne, Fatally Injuring Three Men. Cheyenne.

Sam and Ed Hall In Pendleton Jail For Obtaining Money Order Be longing to Another. Sara and Ed Hall, two brothers, are in the county jail with a term in the federal prison in prospect for them if the charge of obtaining a money order belonging to another by fraudu lent means is sustained, says the East Oregonian. The alleged facts are as follows: Several days ago Sam Hall went to the postoffice at Walla Walla and asked for mail for his sister. Maggie Hall, a resident of that place. A letter was given him and he left. The next day a lady by the name of Maggie Hall came to toe office and asked for her mail. When told that there was none for her, she said that it was strange, as she should have received a letter containing a money order from her brother at Garfield, several days be fore that time. A few day's afterward Hall again came to the office and was questioned concerning the matter, and admitted having received a letter which was not the property of his sis ter, and that the letter contained an order for $10. He promised to re turn the money, and left the office, that being the last that was seen of him. The officers of this city were no tified and were on his track for some time, but were unable to locate him. Sam Hall accompanied by his brother. Ed, who was accessory with him in the matter, came to this city, but so covered their tracks that the officers could gain no clue as to their exact whereabouts.

NOT A FELONY OPERATION OF A MERCHANDISE SLOT MACHINE IS ONLY MISDEMEANOR. Judge Bell of Seattle Renders Import ant Decision in Case of Harry Smith. The operation of a merchandise pay ing slot machine is a misdemeanor, not a felony, was the ruling made by Judge Bell Monday at Seattle, in the superior court, when called upon to pass sentence upon Harry Smith, convicted of running a trade-paying machine at 111 Yesler "Way. The court iiuflicted a fine of $100, the ex treme penalty prescribed by the anti slot machine law. The fine was promptly paid from funds of the Liquor Dealers' Protective association. Although the slot machine benefic iaries are jubilant over what they re gard as the achievement of a final decision in their favor, there was an ominous reservation in the language of the court in announcing his ruling upon the issue raised in the Smith test case. Judge Bell said that if in another case it should appear that the operation of a slot machine made its location a gambling resort, the of fense might thereby be drawn within the purview of the general law mak ing the conduct of all games of chance a felony. The attorneys for the defense in the Smith case, however, are satis fied that the law is clear upon the issue, and that the trade machines are exempt from the operation of the general gambling law. Judge Bell in timated a similar opinion when he stated that he accepted the conten tion of the defense that when two statutes conflict a special law over rides a general one. The language employed by Judge Bell made it ap parent that he believed the slot ma chine law controls as against the gambling law. in the matter of mer chandise paying machines. It is prob able that Prosecuting Attorney Scott holds the same opinion, as he an nounced that he would not appeal from the court's ruling upon the legal issue. ARMY WORM ABROAD. Prof. Waldron of Agricultural College Summoned to North Dakota. Fargo, N. D. —Some alarm is felt over the reports of the presence of army worms in the northwestern part of the state. Reports have been sent to Professor Waldron of the North Dakota Agricultural college that the worms are devastating some of the wheat fields. It is said there are myriads of them and that they take absolutely all the vegetation from the fields they infest. From the meager description sent the professor, he is inclined to be lieve the pests are the "wheat head army worms." but he will not know till he reaches the fields. He has left for Rugby and will go to all infected districts from that point and take steps to destroy the pests. LOVERS UNITED IN DEATH. Buried In a Single Grave en the Day Set for Their Marriage. Kalamazoo, Mish. —The funeral of Frank Malley and Miss Ada Patterson held at the time appointed for their wedding, is the end of a tragedy inter woven with romance since their child hood. When they were rowing on Scott's lake a squall capsized the boat and the occupants were drowned in full view of hundreds. The bodies were recovered an hour later clasped in each other's arms. Both were promi nent in society. They had known each other since childhood and had been affianced for some time. Rev. J. E. Loekwood, who was to have performed the wedding cere mony, conducted the funeral services, taking for his theme: "Until death do us part, but in death they were not parted." EASY TIMES FOR EVILDOERS. Whitman County Chaingang Has Eeen Abolished. Colfax, July 15. —No more will the petty criminals who are arrested and sentenced to terms in the county jail for small offenses be compelled to labor on the county roads. The Whit, man county chaingang, which had be gun to prove a terror to evil doers and professional hoboes, is a thing of his tory. Commissioners Klengard, who lives near Pullman and Willard. who lives in Tekoa, have voted to dispense with the chaingang on tiie grounds that the people of the county, away from Colfax, do not want it and that it does not pay. Sheriff Canutt. who has been in a wrangle with the board it almost every meeting since he as sumed office in January, has accepted he ruling of the board and will no longer try to work the prisoners. For nore than a month the chaingang has >een at work on the county roads, and farmers who travel over these in com ng to Cod'ax have commended the york in the Ui'ghest terms. A number if these went before the board and irged that the chaingang be continued tut the two commissioners, who con tit ute a majority of the board, were bstinate and flatly refused to permit le prisoners to be worked and rut ne deputy out of the sheriffs office. Do you want a bicycle free? EXPERT FEARS DEPLETION. Dr. Kanai, of Tokyo University, Re turns From Germany. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says: The condition to which the Wash ington timber area will inevitably be reduced if the present methods of logging are carried on, was the sub ject of an interview granted at the Butler hotel by Dr. Shitaro Kanai, a professor in the university at Tokyo. Japan, who. after an examination of the Washington forests two years ago, went to Germany, where he has been devoting his time to the study of reforesting of timber lands with the view of applying German methods to the timber lands of Japan. Dr. Kanai is an expert on the tim ber questions and has devoted much time within the past ten years to studying the conditions in this and some of the old world countries. He gives it as his opinion that, within ihe next five decades, the world will be depending for its supply of lumber on the reforested lands of the old world. This opinion he has reached only after the most careful study of the conditions in all countries, and he adds that while there is no want felt in the United States now. nor will there probably be for half a century, if there is not something done to again cover the logged-off lands, this country will be buying timber from Europe. "I feel that there will be many in the state of Washington engaged in the lumber business who will not agree with what I have to say," said the professor. "In fact. I know there will be, for the reason that two years ago when I spent several months on tbe coast looking into the timber conditions. I intimated the same thing and was told that I was not right. Fear of Depletion. "Unless the government of the United States or the timber men who own logged-off lands see to it a L once that a new growth is provided for, within fifty years there will not be a foot of lumber to be had in this state or in the south. Take these two districts away from the lumber industry, which is one of the very largest ones in the United States, and mills by the hundreds will be forced to close down. •'During the past two years I have been in Germany studying, for the Japanese government, the reforesting of timber lands. There the work is being carried on on a large scale, un der the supervision of the govern ment, and it is a success. At tbe present, time there is. practically speaking, no lumber in Germany ex cept what is imported. This condi tion was brought about by the very same methods that are being employ ed in the United States —waste and fire. There was no attention paid to the rejuvenating of the forests. Lumber manufacturers of Germany, like those of the United States, were impressed with the belief that the forests of the Fatherland would never be cut away, but the end came all too quickly. It was before they rea lized it, and Germany was forced to go out into the world's market for a supply. "It was about fifteen years ago that the government took the matter in hand. Reserves were set aside and the timber on them protected. The land was used for other purposes, but it was a crime to molest a tree be yond a certain thickness. The result is that within this short time Germany is rearing many young forests. I; will be thirty years or more before these trees will be fit to cut, and when they are the price of lumber will still be high, forthe supply of logs will be limited. Demand is Enormous. "Here in tbe United States there has been a tremendous development within the past few years—greater than there has ever been in any of the ol 1 world countries, within so short a time. This has required a very large amount of lumber. The depleted foreign markets have called for large amounts and the mills have been springing up like musbroons. The product of these mills has laid waste many thousands of miles of the tim ber, and yet the work goes on. The waste in this country is greater than it was in Germany at its wildest times. Timber here that has been scorched with fire is allowed to rot when it might he used, or a greater ■portion of i; might. Slabs that the Germans would only be too glad to get and work up into lumber are consigned to the wood pile and the wanton destruction goes on. "Japan has had a taste of the over sight, of reforesting. For a thousand years we have been cutting out tim ber, of course not to anything like the extent you have been here in the United States, but now we are get ting short and annually have to send to tbe United States to supply our de mands. Now it is tbe intention of the government to create a forestry department and begin the same work the Germans are engaged in. It will take fifty years perhaps, and by that time we will be entirely out of tim ber to supply our own wants, and we are not engaged in the export trade. "The government of the United States will have to resort to the same thing, and the sooner it is started the better it will be for the United States and the whole world for when the supply in America is cut off there will be want in many other countries." Dr. Kanai is accompanied by Ma taiti Keoituni. who is also attached to the Tokyo university, and who has been assisting him in his work. They will both sail for Japan on the next boat. They were met here by Consul Ohki and taken to their hotel, where they spent the day Are you busy this vacation? Work i'or the coupon prizes in the States man. TOOK LONG TRIP KIT CARSON, FREIGHT AGENT, VISITED UPPER SNAKE RIVER AND WALLOWA. Passenger on Steamer Imnaha on Her Maiden Trip From Lewiston to Imnaha Mines. Brown as a berry, Kit Carson, trav eling freight agent for the Northern Pacific has returned from a thousand mile trip on the headwaters of the Snake and in the Wallowa country, occupying three weeks. Mr. Carson was a passenger on the new steamer Imnaha plying on the Snake between Lewiston and the Imnaha mines, on her maiden voyage two weeks ago, and describes the new service made possible by the enterprise of Lewiston citizens as opening up to travel and capital a vast territory on the upper Snake river country, much of which is little known to the outside world. Mining interests on the upper Snake, Mr. Carson declares, are reach ing huge proportions and a vast sec tion of the country will be developed for agricultural purposes within a very few years. The trip up stream was without incident except where lines had to be run ashore to aid the little boat to stem the swift water of rapids.

MAGOON. Well Known Strawberry-Grower at Portland Has Passed Away. Portland.—\V. J. Magoon, after whom the Magoon strawberry is call ed, died suddenly Monday evening at his home on Gravel Hill. He had been in poor health for some months, lint the end was not anticipated by his relatives. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. Mr. Magoon was born in Ohio 65 years ago, and served in tbe Eighteenth Infantry in the civil war until discharged for disability, caused by an injury to the thigh. He came to Portland in 18S5. and settled in what afterward became a well-known fruit farm. He was an enthusiastic fruitgrower, and was greatly interest ed in the cultivation of strawberries, several new varieties of which he in troduced. The Magoon strawberry is widely known as a good producer and satisfactory berry for shipment. He had lately been developing what he called a "Black Diamond" variety, which promised to be a fine fruit. He was also the introducer of the Logan berry in Oregon.

Tacoma. —Murderer Smith, who has been hiding in the vicinity of the Oak land school for the past week, was evidently driven out of the district Saturday night by the presence of the bloodhounds. The fugitive un doubtedly lay in the brush Saturday afternoon and listened to the baying of the hounds as they coursed through the brush in search of the trail from which he had thrown them by cross ing a swamp. The last appearance that Smith is believed to have made in the district was at the house of Harry Ball, a large mansion on the terraced hill side across the gulch from the Oak land school. Someone appeared a* this house Saturday night and robbed a refrigerator on the back porch of a quantity of eatables. On discovering the loss early in the morning, the oc cupants of the house telephoned the South Tacoma police station and the posse, composed of Sheriff Urquhart, Sheriff Denholm. Officer Joles and Deputies McCullocb, Stenso, Sherman. Manly and Parsons were soon on the trail in the wake of the hounds. Smith if the man who pilfered the refrigera tor is the murderer, evidently did not follow his usual custom of keeping in the trackless woods. Traced a Hot Scent The hounds traced him for five miles along dim cattle trails without once losing the scent, but in the pasture near the obi powerhouse, in a north westerly direction from the starting point, they became confused and were not able to take up the trail again. A large number of cattle were in the pasture and many people had tramped over it during the day, and this, it is believed, added to the confusion of the dogs. The search was abandoned tempor arily at 2 o'clock, but the officers feel certain that they now know the general course that the fugitive has taken, and they expect to hear of him next along the beach between Point Defiance and Steiiacoom. May Take to the Water. The most generally accepted theory is that he will attempt to cross the narrows in a boat in the vicinity of Higgins' beach. As the man's actions are, however, very unreliable, some think that he may double on his tracks and return to the Oakland school again. A few who are familiar with the country believe that he may have made a wide detour and started in the direction of American lake or Puyallup. The officers now intend to play a waiting game and to renew the search at the jdace where Smith is next re ported seen. Sheriff Urquhart and two or three deputies remained in the woods until late last night, while the others came to town with the dogs to hold themselves in readiness to act on any report that might come in. Smith's tendency to linger in the outskirts of Tacoma is accounted for in two ways. One theory is that he desires to remain quietly in conceal ment until he has grown a beard that will be sufficient disguise for him. and tiie other theory is that he has friends here with whom he is trying to ar range a meeting. WILL TEST THE LAW. Supreme Court Asked to Pass Upon the Act of 1893. Olympia.—The legality of the law of 1593 of this state, providing that the judgments obtained in the superior court of any county shall become a lien upon any property of the debtor in that county is to be tested in a case just brought in the superior court here. It is that of Cora M. Ayer, as execu trix of tiie estate of Charles H. Aver vs. Georgia L. Foster, and involves ownership to valuable timber land ly ing on the Dcs Chutes river. The de fendant claims the title to the land through being the direct heir through iter parents, .Mr. ami Mrs. George H. Foster. The plaintiff claims under an execution sale in 1897 of only a half interest in the property. The judg ment against the property was issued after the death of defendant's mother but no transcript was ever filed so as to make the judgment a tien on any oi the real estate of her father. The plaintiff's claim is based on the act of 1893 referred to above. Defendant contends that the law of 1893 is not retroactive, and applies only to judgments subsequently obtained, and hence the conveyance from her father to her in 1894 was free from lien.

LEVITES BEG FOR QUARTER. "When the devil was sick the devil a saint would he. When the devil got well the devil a saint was he." Now that the Levites have suffered a crushing defeat 'hat threatens their loss of prestige in the city, county and state, they are showing a meek and lowly disposition and are making overtures to the Boxers for peace. So long as they held the whip hand they were arrogant and insolent, even car rying their narrow factional prejudice into business affairs, urging a boycott upon all who would not bow to the will of the dominant machine. Now they are talking conciliation and har mony for tie- sake of the "grand old party of God and mortality." gambling, gratis and sums. However, there is no danger that the Boxers will lie down in the bom of their triumph for the sake of a few paltry city and county offices that might be offered them by the Levites. Such an offer at this time would be like Satan's offer to give the Saviour all the lands they could see from the mountain top if the latter would enter the service of the devil, when in truth the wily old tempter did not own an acre. The machine can no longer give any assurance that it can deliver the goods. While Senator Ankeny has some federal patronage at bis dis posal, it is already pledged to faithful followers of the machine for past fa vors in the service of himself and Stevenson's lobby, and when these promises are fulfilled he will not have even crumbs for any of the Boxers. To unite the two republican fac tions in this county is as impossible under present conditions as to mix oil and water. The Boxers generally arc sincere supporters of Theodore Roose velt and Governor Mcßride in their fight against encroachments of pred atory corporations upon the rights of the common people. The Boxers stand by the governor in his brave fight against the railroad lobby in this state. They condemn tic debauchery of voters and the corruption of legis latures in the election of United States senators. All of the abomina tions that are condemned by the Box ers in common with loyal democrats are approved or condoned by the Levites. Therefore, the talk of har monizlng these irreconcilable views of state and national issues on the basis of spoils is as absurd as it would be to propose to unite the re publican and the democratic party on the same basis. If tin Levites wil] agree to pass a resolution at the county convention next yi ar declaring for a railway com mission and instructing the delega tion to the state convention to vote for the renomination of Governor Mc- Bride. it is not unlikely that the Box ers will agree to harmonize. But nothing short of such a complete sur render on the part of the Levites will bring about a reconciliation. As Sen ator Ankeny is bound hand and foot, soul and body by his alliance with the Grosscup-Stcvenson railroad lobby, it FOR YOUR INSPECTION. A Few Alice Rooskvelt Bracelets. A Few Golf Hat Pin Sets.

On its front page this morning the Union lias an alleged Associated Press story, nearly a column in length, under date of duly 14th, under the heading "Shot His Wife in Only a Dream." The story is nearly a week old. It ap peared in the New York Sun on July 10th. The Union has simply pieced out its meager telegraph service by raising the date on this old story. Another story of the same kind ap pears on the second page under a flar ing double-column display head read ing, "Mrs. Louise Olsen Exceeds Even Ulysses." This story appeared in eastern papers four or five days ago. If any reader of the Union believes that these stories are Associated Press dispatches fresh from the wire, he should compare the Union with any paper of even date having the full A. P. report and notice the absence of the fakes appearing in tbe Union with its comparatively meager report. In keeping with this system of mak ing a show of a big telegraphic ser vice, the morning paper is in the habit of taking news items from its ex changes in near-by towns and running them as "Specials to the Union." The Statesman would deal more, charitably with these fakes on the part of the morning paper had it not professed a holy horrror of such prac tices on the part of others not so very long ago. BLOW NEARLY KILLS FATHER. The result of the Walla Walla city election is undoubtedly a terrible blow to the Ankeny machine through out the state, and it may prove fatal to the plans of the Ankeny-Stevenson railroad combination for the control of next year's state convention against Coventor Mcßride and his commission bill. Every daily paper in the north west yesterday heralded under glar ing headlines the defeat of the Ank eny forces by the Boxers in Senator Ankeny's home town. The Oregonian story is headed, "Shook to Ankeny. Boxers Adminis ter Blow to Walla Walla Machine. Sen ator Narrowly Escapes a Rout in His Home City." etc. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has the headlines, Ankeny Men Meet De feat. Forces Demoralized in Walla Walla Election. Rebuke to Machine." etc. The Spokesman-Review headlines say. "Nearly Routed Ankeny Forces. Boxer Candidate for Marshal Wins by 3"S. Blow for Ankeny Men. Re sult Is Regarded as a Protest Against the Ankeny Methods in Municipal Politics," etc. The Tacoma Ledger has it, "Ankeny Machine Receives Hard Blow. Mu nicipal Election in Walla Walla Re sults in Victory for the Boxers." etc. THE ARTFUL DODGER. The Colfax News-Letter, a repub lican paper, scores the Colfax Ga zette in the following editorial. "There exists at Colfax a news paper that by virtue of the Ankeny gold cure, of which it partook an ex tremely large dose last fall, is now forced to assume the position of dodg er and apologist for the political ring behind it. Sonic c>f the arguments advanced on equity, etc., remind one of certain portions of Gulliver's Trav els. "The latest dodge was pulled off last week in an attempt to answer the following from "Sidelights on Poli tics" which appeared in the Spokes man-Review of Sunday. June 21st: 'Senator Oscar E. Hailey and Representative E. J. Durham openly allied themselves with the railroads. That the railroad spirit i's still at work in Whitman county, how ever, is evident from the fact that the Colfax Gazette, which professes to be tin- republican organ of the county, has failed to print even the barest mention of the fact that Governor Mcßride is to speak at Elberton. The Gazette draws inspiration from the railroad lobby.' "Instead of answering the allega tion the editroial scribbler of the Ga zette turns all the venom of hi's spleen on one "Dave" who is purported to be tbe "politician" for the Spokesman-Review. When the editor has emptied his choicest bil- THE EVENING STATESMAN. WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1903. libsgate on 'Dave" he turns hi"s at ention to certain newspapers as fol lows: 'It seems to be tbe desire of tne Spokesman-Review, the Seattle Times. ,he Colfax Commoner, and a few other rotten sheets, to cast aspersions upon all of the members, of the recent legislature who did not see fit to go down the line with the Mcßride-Pres ton senatorial gang. They would be spatter the reputation of every mem ber who voted for -Mr. Ankeny, if they could. They will cast calumny upon the name of men who are far more honorable and upright than any one of their gang ever dreamed of being.' "This cultured gentleman who dotes on honesty in politics then con cludes with a bitter personal attack on Governor Henry Mcßride. "Now, why all this abuse and bil lingsgate? To hide his own shortcom ings, of course. The average voter does not care very much who "Tbe Politician" of the Spokesman-Review is. but he knows that he hits the nail on the head pretty often. Perhaps a strict comparison of the characters of "Dave" Larimer and the editorial opologist of the Colfax Gazette would not be so very unfavorable to "Dave" after all. 'But this is not the point. The Gazette did not dodge the issue pre sented in the Spokesman-Review. A careful search of its columns fails to reveal any announcement that the governor would be at the Elberton picnic. A careful search through last week's issue shows that just 25 lines were devoted to the governor's speech at that picnic. The Colfax Commoner devotes nearly three columns to the same speech. Strange, isn't it? "Then that slam at the papers that "stand pat" with the governor! We're all in the same class, no honorable one among us, according to the Ga zette. Yet who are these honorable and upright men of whom the Gazette is so proud? Are they not the same men who before election "stood squarely on the republican platform with both feet?" Are they not the same men who in order to gain votes professed to be with Governor Mc- Bride in his fight for a railroad com mission lull "first, last, and all the time?" Did not these same men when elected turn squarely over to the other side, vote against tiie best interests of the people and violate openly and in a shameless manner their party pledges? We think so. Yet-the Ga zette says they are all honorable men, and the Gazette must know, for it claims to "tell the truth." Bah! Com pared with these moral lepers any man who strives honestly to do what is right, according to the light that is in him, is as far above them as the eagle in his loftiest flight is above the meanest worm that grovels under foot. "The Gazette moral? Save the mark! We recommend to the Gazette and to those of its like a careful peru sal of that, portion of the governor's speech at Elberton wherein he re ferred to those who deliberately vio late party pledges and the wishes of their constituents. "The Gazette is the Artful Dodger whose mission on earth at present is to attempt to defend these men who have been tided in the court of public opinion and found wanting." TICKET GOOD, PLATFORM BAD. W. J. Bryan discusses the demo cratic convention of lowa in an edi torial in the Commoner: "In the re cent lowa convention." says Mr. Bryan, "the delegation from Wapello county was chosen by a convention which indorsed the Kansas City plat form, but the reorganizers. chosen by courtesy, were on hand, and in the absence of som of the Kansas City platform democrats, cast a majority of the votes of tiie county against the platform. Mills county indorsed the Kansas City platform, but was misrepresented in the state conven tion How can an honest platform be expected from men who deal dis honestly with their constituents? "The lowa platform contains many good planks, but without improving upon tbe last national platform in any respect, it shows weakness where it departs from that document. The plank against imperialism is not clear. The coupling of Porto Rico with the Philippine islands leaves it in doubt whether the self-government mentioned is self-government in an independent republic, as demanded by the Kansas City platform, or self government as part of our nation, as a few republicans favor. "Nothing is said in the platform about arbitration, notwithstanding the increasing necessity for some just and peaceable settlement of differ ences between labor and capital. Smacks of Wall Street. "The money plank was written to deceive. It has the flavor of the platforms written by Wall street rep resentatives for both the leading par ties before 1896 and for the republi can party since. 'We insist that the integrity of the money of the nation be guarded with zealous care.' That looks rea sonable enough, but it will be found on investigation to be intended by its framers to mean the gold standard although not one of them would dare to indorse the gold standard openly in a democratic platform. Do they think the voters are fools and unable to understand the purpose of the fi nanciers? Of course the goldites will concede a few words about wanting a sufficient volume of money, but they c onstrue that to mean that we already have too much. "The convention deserves credit for denouncing an asset currency and the Aldrich bill, but such a condemna tion would have no influence on an official who showed as much contempt for his platform as some of the del egates showed for resolutions adopted by their counties. A man who is afraid to indorse bimetalism lest he may offend the financiers cannot be depended upon in any contest in which organized wealth is arrayed against the people. "The republicans are now contem plating the passage of a bill making some $600,000,000 of silver redeemable in gold, a more dangerous proposition even than the Aldrich bill or the as set currency and yet the lowa reorga nizers did not have the courage to mention it. Reorganizers and the Financiers. "The anti-trust plank is not nearly so strong or explicit as the Kansas City platform plank on this subject Here is a question of vital import ance, a question which involves the rights and interests of the people of the whole country, and the reorgani zers are impotent to bring any relief because of the same financiers who threatened a panic if the trusts are interfered with. "Xo wonder the reorganizers were unwilling to risk one of their own men on such a platform. If they had nominated one of their own kind, his candidacy on such a platform would have aroused wide-spread protest; but instead of that they place the party standard in the hands of J. B. Sullivan, one of the ablest and stanchest of the* democrats, whose county and con gressional district made a gallant fight for reaffirmation. Judge Caldwell and the other nominees were also faithful to the party in 1896. Real Fight Is Coming. "The democrats of lowa have there fore, to choose between a good ticket on a cowardly platform, partly good, and a republican ticket running on as bad a platform as could well be con ceived. What should they do? Vote for Sullivan and his associates on the ticket, but continue to fight for Kan sas City platform principles. The real contest will come next year when natioal delegates are selected. "Let loyal democrats, by considering the unfairness shown by the reorgani zes this year, learn what to expect in case the party goes back into the control of the Cleveland crowd, and let the defeat suffered by the friends of tiie Kansas City platform in the late convention arouse them to a battle royal for tin? preservation of the integrity of the party. "If those who are earnestly against plutocracy will attend the primaries and conventions and then instruct all delegates they will be spare the hu miliation which they have just suffer ed in lowa. The fight for the reaffirm ation of the last national platform and the building of a new platform in line with it is on. and must continue until a complete victory is won." BEAM IN Ol"R OWN EYE. Letter in New York Evening Post. Sir: Moved by the democratic and thoroughly American editorials which apepared in your issues of the Sth and loth respecting the brutality of the people of Belleville, 111., in dealing with a young teacher imprisoned on the charge of attempted murder, and also of the citizens of Indiana, who. in cold blood, murdered another color ed man without any provocation what ever —happening upon these, as re counted in your authoritative paper, engaged in writing a denunciatory ar ticle against the Russian government, I, on being forced to recognize the criminal indifference of our own gov ernment toward atrocities committed by American citizens against Ameri can citizens, right here on American soil, was forced to halt. We must a.lmit that it. is a matter of serious regret that we. the Amer ican people, the boastful advocates of democracy, human liberty and human ity, should, amid our strenuous ef forts, find ourselves so extremely embarrassed, through murder, open rapine and the burning alive of hu man beings—acts committed by American citizens against American born citizens, on American soil—that we know not just how to present a creditable protest to the Russian gov ernment relative to the recent and unjustifiable atrocities committed against the defenseless Jews of Kish neff, Bessarabia, without suffering our selves to be slapped back in the face by Yon Plehwe. Russia's minister of the interior. In response to our pro test against the Kishneff massacre, he has assured us that the Russian gov ernment deplored the acts of violence, has declared that Russian peasants, driven to frenzy through racial and religious hatred, and under alcoholic influences, are only a little worse than I Americans, who in cold blood or spor-1 lively lynch colored American citi zenis. A very polite way to remind us that "charity begins at home!" Furthermore, the reply of the Rus sian government forces us to a com- use 30HEMIAN Bachtold Arhermaun, Wholesale Dealers. parison of the two governments in dealing with the perpetrators and those in authority where these recent outrages have been committed. For instance: In the case of the Kishineff massacre, the Czar's government im mediately dispatched his soldiers to the scene; and. ordering an investi gation, removed the governor and chief of police of Kishineff. and also imprisoned many perpetrators. But what have we, the strenuous "benevo lent assi'milators" of the tropics done to show our disapproval of those re cent fiendish atrocities committed on American soil —in Indiana, and Belle ville, 111., where David Wyatt, (a teacher) was beaten, butchered with knives, riddled with bullets, then burned by American citizens, with the sanction of American ladies of cul ture? What have we done. I ask. to stamp our disapproval of the sportive killing of that other colored young man of Indiana, who gave no provoca tion whatever to his fiendish murder ers? What shall be done with these criminals? Does not. the welfare of society demand that they be punished? Shall we. through our silence and in difference, continue to set a premium on crimes committed against Ameri can citizens of color, and thus hasten on a race war. which many of us are striving with might and main to di vert?

Union Labor Column. EDITED BY JOHN PENN. This Department is devoted The Statesman assumes no re to the interests of Organized i sponsibility for opinions ex j Hir pressed in these columns. Published Wednesday and Saturday. PROMISED A TREA 1 What premises to be an interesting meeting tor members of organized la bor bodies ia the city, will be the lecture to be given next, week at Ar mory hall, under the jurisdiction of the Trades Council. Rev. Mr. Rice will Ik- one of tiie speakers and in all .likelihood may be followed by an other eminent clergyman who, in times past has expressed a deep inte rest in th.- objects and aims of union labor. The exact date of this event is not at present writing definitely Bottled, but every union man is re quested to watch for the announce ment in the labor department of the Statesman next Saturday. By that time arrangements will be completed and tiie date known. Let every union man attend and bring all his non union friends. DUTY OF UNION MEN. Should Strive to Strengthen the Cause of Organizations. One of the greatest of enemies any society, whether fraternal, benificiary secret or otherwise, has to contend with is that deadly lethargy, that in difference toward attending or the ful filling of duties pertaining to office. This is m> more marked in our local unions than in our local secret socie ties yet there is an indifference creep ing ovosition that it awakened it has always called for the active sympa thy and aid of all that class of men and women who believe in fair condi tions of life and justice for all men Adversity Will Be the Test. Th,- phenomenal growth of trade unionism through the last two or three years, although unparalleled in any other period of the world, is per haps not unlike the growth of the Kmghts of Labor 20 years ago It does not follow that trade unionism will live because it is so strong today. When adversity comes, as it must ome under our present system of pro duction when large numbers of men are thrown out of employment, then the great strain upon trade unionism wil! be felt. It is comparatively easy to organi/.'' workingmen when ail are employed, or while work is plentiful. It is difficult to sustain this organi zation while many men are living on the verge of starvation or want. The great growth of trade unionism has caused the workingman to feel his power; it lias necessarily made many of them arbitrary, unreason able and unjust in theif demands. This has, in many places, awakenenl a sense of resentment among a large class who otherwise would be sympa thetic towards the unions. For in stance, in the late strike of the an thracite coal workers, tbe sympathy of the whole country was with the miners. This was due not to any special knowledge on the part of the public of the condition of the striking men. but to their hatred against the coal trust, which had mono]>olized and put up the price on a necessary pro duct. The growth of these great in dustrial monopolies, whose business has been to take as much from the public as the public would stand, has set against them the great mass of the common people. These people have been sympathetic to trade unions, not so much because they un derstood trade unions, as because they hated the monopolies. At best, only a small proportion of the real workingmen are reasonably eligible to trade unionism. Farmers, small merchants and many others composing the great middle class do not belong to the unions and cannot reasonably be expected to belong to the unions. This great middle class, which really creates the sympathy for the common people, which, in fact, is the common people, have believed that they were plundered by the trusts and corporations, and have given aid to the trade unions. When .hey imagine that the trade unions are making unreasonable demands or un fair conditions their hostility will be turned against trade unionism as it is turned against the corporate con trol. Consumers Are the Real Arbiters. The friendliness of certain great in stitutions towards trade unionism is not altogether a hopeful sign. The more progressive of the monopolists, without any real sympathy for the workingmen, are beginning to feel friendly toward trade unionism. This friendship comes from the belief that they can deal with large numbers of men easier than with individual men. This leads them to tempt the trade unions with a prospect of higher wages, to gain their sympathy and their support: but the public will not long be willing to be ground to pieces by the monopolies on one hand and the trade unions on the other. The great class of men who are the consumers and who stand neither in the relation of monopolist or trade unionist will insist that through the evolutionary movements of society their condition shall be made better. To put up the price of commodities and the cost of labor means little to the workingman. but it means plunder to tbe great mass of men who cannot properly be placed in either camp. Trade unionism cannot afford to arouse the hostility of the public. Its very strength will prove its great est weakness. It must learn that In order to achieve anything permanent it must stand for such laws and con ditions as will tend to the permanent elevation of the common man. This trade unionism has done through all its past; this it must do in the future, if it shall succeed. For a movement that is not founded on sound princi ples and sound ethical conceptions cannot survive. Raising of Wages a Delusion. Many trade unionists seem to de vote their whole time to the question of raising wages. Tim raising of wages in and by itself is simply a de lusion and a snare. For instance: a carpenter raises his wages; this makes it necessary for the small 'mer chant to raise his prices; this makes it necessary for the clerk to raise his; then in turn the butcher must raise his. while the carpenter finds that he has things he buys, and in turn he must raise his wages again. When the work of trade unionism is done, just conditions will prevail and trade unionism will disappear. Trade union ism deserves to live, as it has in the past, because it has stood as the pro tection of the common people. The permanent protection of the commor people can only come by permanent changes in laws and institutions. So, above all things else, trade unionism should turn its attention to political action, not necessarily this party or that, but toward the solution by law and industrial changes of the problems of the day. For in the end natural laws must prevail. Neither the trust nor the labor or ganization can arbitrarily fix price's for a long period of time* There is c tendency in things to come back tt natural laws, and unless all agitatior and energy tends to bring about sucl natural conditions that all lal>or bf employed and all labor will reoeivd when it is said that nearly 20 ndictments have al ready been four. that it is now ex pected that nearly one thousand in dictments may be secured in Alabama alone before the investigation is closed. And the same system, it is declared, is in vogue in Georgia. South Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and Texas. The attorney general's dej>artment is much interested in the appeal which has been taken in the first conviction, that of S. N. Clyatt of Florida, a pro ducer of naval stores, who had a num ber of negroes in servitude. He was sentenced to four years. His appeal has been argued before the United States court of appeals, at New Or leans, and a decision is expected shortly. GRAY THEIR MAN. Democrats Name Him For the Presidency. Pottsville, Pa., Judge George Cray, of Delaware, former United States senator and president of tiie Anthra cite Coal Commission, is being quietly boomed in the anthracite region for the democratic nomination for the presidency. As the result of a can vass that has been made throughout the region it has been found that near ly all the miners' union officials who are democrats are heartily in favor of his nomination and. since the report ed collapse of the Cleveland boom, both Cleveland men and Bryan men are enthusiastic in declaring that Judge Gray is a man who can unite the party. Ex-Congressman James K. Reilly, who was a member of the lower house when Judge Gray was a senator and who was later United States marshal for the eastern district of Pennsylva nia thus coming very often in contact with Judge Gray, says that he is a man of such strength and power that, if he can be nominated, he will prob ably be elected. It i's pointed out that, while Judge Gray's state is a small one, it is one of the most doubtful states in the union, and he could certainly carry it for the democrats. GIRL COWES A MOB. Tried to Lynch a Murderer, but She Stood Them Off With Gun. Columbia, S. C—Mary Creech, the l«-year-old daughter of Sheriff Creech at Barnwell, stood off with a rifle a mob of armed men which had sought to lynch Herbert Sanderson, who had surrendered himself, for killing Sea born Moore. The girl was alone at the jail, her father having left the keys with her during his absence. When she leveled a gun at the crowd it fled. The murder was the result of a quarrel at a dance over a girl. O A. S T O H. I .A. Bears the Kind You Have Alwajrs Bought INJURED KNEECAP Used As a Means of De frauding Cities BROUGHT SUIT A(UI.\ST ASTORIA Was Granted $2000 Damage But Of ficials Were Give a Tip Before Money Was Paid. Astoria, Ore.—During the present week two men are to be tried in the circuit court here on the charge of perjury. They are Charlie R. Lane, alias John L. Bock, alias John Lane, and Josier S. Smith, alias George R. Rodgers. and they are accused of hav ing testified falsely in a damage suit brought by l>ane under the name of John L. Bock, against the City of As toria. In his complaint Bock alleged that on the evening of August 21, 1900, while walking along Duane street he fell through a hole in the planking and fractured his right knee cap. About a year later he filed a suit for $5000 damages. The case was tried twice, the first jury disagreeing and the sec ond giving the plaintiff a judg ment in the sum of $2500.50. Smith testified at the first trial that he was with Bock at the time he was alleged to have been injured. About two months ago a proposition was before the City Council to eompromsie the claim by the payment of $2. when District Attorney Allen received infor mation to the effect that the men were frauds. City Attorney Smith and Sheriff Linville left immediately for Contra Costa, Cal.. where Bock and Smi';h live, and soon secured suffi cient evidence to warrant their arrest on the (diarge of perjury. At the preliminary hearing testi mony was introduced showing that Bock's injury was of long standing and that he had made use of it several rimes before to secure damages from cities, corporations and individuals. An affidavit was presented from Thos. Wilkinson, warden of the California state prison at Folsom. and on it was a photograph easily recognized as Bock or Lane. It said that C. K. Lane was sent to the prison from Contra Costa county on August 19, 1895, for grand larceny, and was discharged on December 18. 1897. In its descrip tion of the prisoner the affidavit said Lane's right kneecap was badly broken and he walked lame. E. \V. Leus and C. L. Perkins testified that they had lived near the two defendants for 12 or 13 years, that Bock's true name was Charles R. that during all this time he had been lame and that Smith knew it. They also testified that about three years ago Bock or Lane secured $3i»o from Mrs. Hinton. of tH7 Folsom street, San Francisco, by claiming he Was injured on her property. In December, 1899, he got $1200 from the owner of a building being erected in San Francisco and about two years ago he was paid be tween $80 and $100 by the San Pablo Street Railway company of Oakland for the same injury. From other sources it is learned that in 1902 Bock, under the name ot John E. B. Myers, secured $2000 from the City of Seattle in settlement of a suit brought to obtain damages for breaking his leg in that city on Au gust 17, 1900, just four days after he was alleged to have been injured here. It is also alleged that shortly before coming here he sued Jacobs Bros., of Portland, on a similar charge and af ter that was dropped, he called in a prominent physician of that city, whose name the officers will not make public, to examine his leg preparatory to bringing suit against the City of Portland. The physician, it is said, pronounce-d the break an old one and tbe scheme was dropped. At the preliminary examination Bock said his true name was John L. Bock but on being arraigned in the circuit court he said it was John Lane and an order was made directing that he be proceeded against under the latter name. Smith's trial will be commenced on Wednesday and Lane's will follow immediately afterwards. WILL NAME COMMISSION. Canada and United States Prepare to Take Up Waterways. Chicago.—The Canadian and United States governments are getting ready to make the long-pending appoint ments of members of the international waterways commission for the pur pose of investigating into the interna tional features of the land waters which formed the subject of the report of the deep waterways commission of the United States about three years ago. The most interesting part of th« report is that General O. H. Ernst now at the bead of the government's engineering corps in this district, will be one of the Americans appointed. Other likely members are said to be George Y. Wisner of Detroit who served on the former commission, and Harvey D. Goulder of Cleveland, tin well known marine lawyer, and attor ney for the Lake Carriers' Association The new international commission is to take up tbe question of the ef fect on lack levels of the numerous proposed channels, improvement schemes, of the diversion of water in to the Chicago drainage canal and foi power purposes, and the probable dam" age to riparian rights resulting from rising of lake levels by means of reg ulating works at Buffalo, as recom mended by the former American com mission. j 1 For Infants gmdChild^^ Kind You Have [fei^y^^l ir 4 Always Bought I AVegetablePrepnrationforAs- Mjg U MI tag foe Stomachs 'mi». new York city.

Salis bury in the government crop and cli mate bulletin for the week ending yesterday. The weather has been fa vorable for ail crops, excepting hay. On account of the ripeness of clover there has been some cutting, when ever the clouds cleared away for a time, but there has been so little fair haying weather that most farmers have postponed their haymaking, rhere will be a largo crop if it can be secured. Oats and all vegetables, especially potatoes, are in a very thrifty condition as a result of the abundant showers. The last two weeks ef cool and showery weather have been fine for winter wheat, causing it to fill well, so that the heads will be plump and heavy, although the stalks are short, rbo wheal thin and spotty, and very weedy, as stated in previous reports. Spring wheat, especially that sown late, lias received the most benefit from the ruins. The present prospects -ir* 1 far better than ten days ago. be ing for an average yield of spring whea: in Spokane county, and slightly b. iov. tiie average in Whitman county. Bui the next ten or twelve days will be cisiVe, as the spring wheat is generally heading on 1 and will soon be in the filling stage, when the great est injury from hot winds is to be feared. In Lincoln and Adams coun ties there have been abundant show ers, and the crop will be far better than there was any prospect of two weeks, or even a week ago. In Douglas county, where tie outlook for a crop was almost hopeless ten days ago. ample rains have made a great change, specially in late sown wheat, and there is a prospect of at b ast half a crop, under continuing favorable conditions. In Walla Waila and the southeast counties showers have been beneficial to .all spring sown grain and vegetation generally. In Klickitat county corn and pota toes are growing finely. Cherries are nearly a,', gone in Yakima county, and apricots are ready to pick. The cherry crop east of the mountains was large and of excellent quality, as they were not injured by excessive moisture, as they were in the south west counties.

A contest would but strain to breaking point tbe already wrought tp feelings of the opposing factions, .hough Mr. Demerit's friends state hat there is good and sufficient grounds for bringing a contest if he should desire it. "I am willing to let the matter stand as it is," Mr. Dement said this morning when questioned. "While .here is little doubt there were some rregularities in Fremont precinct which would possibly form a sufficient ■ause for contest proceedings, I do tot deem it wise to carry the matter nto the courts. No, there will be no •ontest as far as 1 am concerned." It was rumored today that Joseph Scott, who was defeated for council nan from the Second ward by J. Z. Smith, would endeavor to secure a re count of votes cast in that ward, but as he was out of town today no verifi cation or denial of the rumor could >e obtained. SOAKED IN THE EYE.
