OREflON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1012. CLARK WINS IN WILD CONVENTION HEIFNER THROWS AWAY BADGE WHEN WILSON'S FORCES ARE BEATEN CHARGES OF FRAUD ARE MADE Riot 8tarts When Attempt Is Made To Stampede Delegates At Walla Walla For Bryan WALLA WALLA, Wash., May 7. Clark manager stood off an attempt to stampede the Democratic State convention this afternoon for William Jennings Bryan, voted an endorse ment of the Speaker of the House, put through their own slate of dele gates, bound them by the unit rule and programmed a formal endorse ment of Clark" President candidacy by the delegation. Wilsou made a poor showing and failed to stop the rush to Clark by ringing the changes on the magic names of the Nebraska "Commoner." It wis the finish of a remarkable politclal upset and one that Demo cratic Slate Chairman C. O. Heifner, Western manager of the Wilson cam paign, refused to stay and witness. Together w ith Mayor George F. Cot terill aud most of the other members of the King County delegation, Heif ner tore off his convention badge when the convention by an over whelming vote decided to seat the two contesting King County delega tions with half a vote apiece, and a few minutes later walked out of the hall. Later in the day Heifner wrote and gave out a bitter arraignment both of the King County Cark leaders and of the convention which seated them Though Clark subsequently polled 455 votes in the convention, the real test of Clark strength came when the fight to seat the warring King Coun ty delegations with half a vote apiece was brought to a rollcall. On the vote to seat the two King County del egations, the Clark forces polled 333 delegates to 221 cast in opposition. This vote showed that Clark still con trol even if the so-called primary dele gates are seated from King, for Clark had 36 delgates in that set, while Wil son would have added 106 to his otal. CHAMP CLARK HAS GHOST OF A SHOW TOPEKA, Kan., May 4. "Theodore Roosevelt will be the Republican and Champ Clark the Democratic nomi ness for President this year, and Champ Clark will be elected." That is the prophecy made today by Mrs. Jerry Simpson, widow of the former Seventh District Congress man. Mrs. Simpson is a spiritualist and relates several recent talks with the spirit of her husband. "It was at Wichita, only a short time a?o, that I talked with Jerry about politics," Mrs. Simpson said today. "He said he took the same in terest in politics that he alawys had taken-" " Who will be named by the Repub licans?' I asked him. " Theodore Roosevelt,' he replied. ""Who by the Democrats?' "Champ Clark.' "'Who will be elected?.' "Champ Clark. I'm for him and he will be elected.' " TITANIC STEERAGE NEW YORK, May 3. That the steerage passengers aboard the Ti tanic knew nothing of the accident which lad befallen the vessel until a torrent of water started rushing in to their quarters was the testimony to Senator William Alden Smith, chairman of the Titanic investigation committee, here today by Daniel Buckley, age 21 years, of County Cork Ireland, a steerage passenger. One of the stewards, be said, warned the in the ttteerage that they WDUiH - had better hurry to the upper decks unless they wanted to drown, tsues. ley said: "I rushed upstairs but found no life preservers and started back down but found that the water had reached r, tho third steD leading from the steerage quarters and was coming in fast . , , "i aaur a steward trvine to lock a gate which would bar us from the first and second Class aecits. a. man tried to stop the steward but was knocked down.

The results of the Republican primaries here yest erday practically assure a solid dele gation of 61 delegates for Roosevelt from Spokane County to the State Convention at Aberdeen. Returns re ceived up to the present time give RooBcvclt 304 deU-gates to the coun ty convention tomorrow with only 216 necessary to control. The result of the primaries here gives Roosevelt a decided lead for the two delegates to the National Con vention to be selected from the Third Congressional district, embracing 19 counties in the eastern section of Washington. According to the re sults of the primaries held so far tn the diHtrlct, Roosevelt is estimated to have 112 delegates to the district con vention, Taft 31 and La Follette one, with IS contested. Only 124 delegates are needed to control the convention, and 12 more votes, which could be secured by seating the contesting del egation from Chelan County, would give victory to the Roosevelt forces in the district INCOMPLETE RETURNS GIVE COL ONEL SLIGHT ADVANTAGE OVER PRESIDENT SPEAKER HAS BIG LEAD OVER WILSON Missourlan Defeats New Jersey Gov ernor By Three To One Harmon la Poor Third BALTIMORE, Md., May 6. Roose velt and Clark were well ahead in the early returns from the Maryland Pres idential preference primaries, but lat er the contest between Taft and Roosevelt became close, although the latest figures virtually assure Roose velt of victory. The Democratic fight showed that Clark and Wilson were far ahead of Harmon The indicated vote at 12:15 A. M. gave Roosevelt 66; Taft, 63; Clark. 69; Wilson, 33; Harmon, 46 uncert ain. 23. Clarke and Roosevelt leaped Into the lead early with complete delega tions from Baltimore city, which gave them each 28 delegates. Clark's pre ferential vote in this city was greater than that of Harmon and Wilson com bined. He defeated Wilson by nearly 3 to 1 and the New Jersey Governor was ahead of Governor Harmon by 2 to 1. The sweeping Clark success In Balt imore was a victory for the Democrat ic organization. In the Republican primary here the Roosevelt organiza tion downed the regular Republican organization, led by Collector of the Port William F. Stone. LEVEE GIVES WAV BATON ROUGE, La., May 3. The Mississippi River protection levee in front of the Bayou Sara, La., broke today. According to the report here there is no chance to save the town. Ijiter disnatches reported that Ba you Sara is from 5 to 15 feet under water this afternoon, and all nopes nt innninj th rrevse have been abandoned. The break now has wid ened to 75 feet and still is growing. The lower nortion of St Francis ville is three feet under water. No loss of life has been reported. Eight persons were drowned this afternoon when the Mississippi Riv er levee near Morgansea, La., broke, flrvwlini? the surrounding country. The yellow waters of the Misfissip pl today are sweeping through a 1000- foot breach in the levee at lorras in a raging torrent. It is difficult to estimate the financial loss which must come to the whole of one parish, Pointe Coupe, and parts of several others, but it is certain it will be hundreds of thousands of dollars. The sular cane, cotton, rice, and corn crops, which were well advanced, will be a total loss, and the loss of live stock will be heavy. Torras was practically cut off from wire communication last night, the water having submerged the cross arms on the telegraph poles. Special trains were run between New Roads to a point near Torras last night, to bring out refugees. Hun dreds of people forced from their homes by the water were picked up at several stations and brought to New Roads, but many refused to leave, preferring to take chances with the water. In every direction farm ers could be seen herding livestock to the levees. No los6 of life has been reported in the newly-flooded area, but many sto ries of thrilling escapes are coming in and It is known that scores of per sons still are In danger. GRAY TO BE HEAD OF GREAT NORTHERN NEW YORK, May 8. James J. Hill today confirmed a report recently cur rent that Louis Hill, his son, will re tire from the presidency of the Great Northern railroad in favor of C. R. Gray. J. J. Hill refused to discuss a report that be will resign the chair manship of the Great Northern board of directors in favor of his son. That James J. Hill will retire as chairman of the Great Northern direc torship in favor of his son, Louis WH is the general understanding and an announcement to that effect is ex pected at any time, in view of the fact that the pioneer railroad and empire builder this morning confirmed the report that his son will resign as president T. R. AND CLARK CARRY MARYLAND BE TO TAFT MANAGERS THINK IT WILL IN CREASE LEAD IN MASSA CHUSETTS ROOSEYELT DELEGATES ARE LOYAL Views Of Voters Are Divided, But President Has Better Of Sit uation Petitions Circulated BOSTON. May 2. There is to be a recount of the votes cast at the Presi dential primaries on Tuesday and the Taft leaders believe that it will show a much larger vote for President Taft and his delegates than Is apparent from the flgures that have already been Issued. Signatures for a peti tion for a recount were being secured today by the Taft men and these peti tions will be filed at the Statehouse tomorrow. The tight Rooselevelt delegate-at-large, despite a visit paid to Mr. Roosevelt today at Oyster Bay by Matthew Hale, his campaign manager In this state, Charles Baxter, who heads the delegates-at-large ticket and several Roosevelt workers, still say they will ignore the request of Mr. Roosevelt that they vote for Mr. Taft In the Chicago convention. One of them, Arthur L. Nason, said tonight; "It Is true that Mr. Roose velt has telegraphed us releasing us, but I don't see that has anything to do with it. We are pledged to the oters of the state and we are going to be loyal to the voters." Opinion is divided as to the attitude that should be taken by the delegates- at-large. Senator Stearns, of Chica go, w ho is chairman of the committee on election laws of the present legis lature, which in his opinion the Roose velt delegates-at-large ought to resign their place immediately to the eight Taft alternates who were elected. In view of the preference vote for Taft The latest figures are: President pre ference, I-a Follette, 2005; Roosevelt, 81.554; Taft 86.069. Taft's plurality, 4233. Taft's majority. 2230. Delegates-at-large Baxter (heading Roosevelt group), 76.S54. Baxter's plurality, 79S0. 5,000 ACRES FLOODED AS LEVEE BREAKS TORRAS, La., May 2. The second line of levees protecting the State Convict plantation at Angola. &., broke this afternoon, and within a short time the 5000 acres were Inun dated. The state recently completed a half million dollar sugar refinery and this will be flooded. All hope of closing the Torras crev asse was abandoned following a con ference between Governor Sanders and state engineers. The crevasse bad widened to nearly 700 feet and the levee was crumbling away rapid ly. News that the engineers had given up all hope of closing the Torras cre vasse was flashed to every town on the west side of the river within a radius of 50 miles. It means the abandonment of thousands of homes in .the territory south of Torras ana property damage that will run Into the millions. The Angola break Is across the riv er from the Torras crevasse and less than six miles distant The flood waters on the Angola side will cover thousands of acres of fine farming land along the east bank as far down as Bayou Sara and St Francisvllle, and probably will return to the Mis sissippi near Morganse, La. Women screaming and men shout ing as they hurried Into their homes and seized their children and valu ables In mad efforts to reach places of safety, and the stampeding of ani mals turned loose by their owners to seek safe places, were some of the chaotic conditions that prevailed in Torras last night when the alarm was sounded that the levee at the junction of the Old and Mississipl Riv er had given way. Although it had been known that several weak spots had developed, little attention had been paid to this by the citizens of Torras, and they were caught unprepared. Within a few minutes after the break had be come known the townspeople were in a panic. Before the streets were entirely submerged a majority of the Inhabi tants had reached places of safety. Three hundred women and children were placed on a freight train, which had just arrived in Torras. These were taken to a point below here. No loss of life has been reported, but it is feared some fatalities may occur In the interior, as the water is rushing through the country so rapid ly that sufficient warning may not have reached those living in districts remote from wire communication. Millions of dollars of loss, it Is fear ed, will be caused by the devastation of some of the most valuable farms and plantations in the state. Eleven parishes with a total pop ulation of a nnarter of a million, will eventually be Inundated by the new break. Food supplies nave Deen mass ed near Torras by the Government in of n break here, and those in charge of the work are preparing to give reller to 40.U0U people in mis vicinity. BIG DAMAGE SUIT IS SETTLED OUT OF COURT The $25,000 damage suit of fcaud Williams against the Hawley Pulp Paper Company was settled out of court Tuesday and , Ju4ge Campbell has dismissed the action. Mrs. Will iams was the mother of Jesse Crippen who was killed December 19, 1911, while assisting In loading logs on a car from a platform. A log rolled down a chute on btm, and it was al leged the accident was due to negli gence. Attorneys Brownell & Stone who represented the plaintiff declin ed to give the terms of the settlement but It is undersood the plaintiff was given a substantial sum. RECOUNT WILL 3-YEAR HOMESTEAD BILL IS APPROVED WASHINGTON May X The con ference committee tonight reached an agreement on the Borah-Junes three year homestead bill and probably will make a report to the Senate and House on Monday. The bill, as finally agreed upon, Is practically the bill ns It passed the House, with an added amendment re quiring the cultivation of one-sixteenth of the area of entry during the second year of residence ! ono eighth of the third year, before mak ing final proof. The essential fea tures of the Senate House bills are re tained. The homestead period Is reduced from five to three years and home steader are permitted to be absent from their land not to exceed five months in each year after establish ing a residence. 30 DROWN AS BIG LEVEE GIVES WAY TORRENT RUSHES THROUGH BREAK IN LOU1SANA FLOOD ING LARGE AREA SITUATION HADE CRAVE BY RAINS Entire Families Swept To Death From Housetops And 1000 Are Imperiled Slight Fall at New Orleans NEW ORLEANS, May 6. Thirty persons were drowned In Coupee par ish early today when a Hood of water from a Lreak In the levee rushed sud denly into the district. Survivors re ported that 12 bodies had been recov ered and declared the death list prob ably would total 30. Heavy rains in Louisiana nnd Miss issippi today lent additional danger to scores of cities whlh have been threatened Inundation by the flood waters of the mlssissipi'l river. With the water topping the levess at Baton Rogue, Morganza, Melville and Bayou Des Glaces, La., the situation was such as to cause Governor Sanders to Impress into service a liirge number of negroes, fonplng them to work on the levees. Thousands of women and children have left Bayou Des Glaces. Melville and other flooded sections. The prop erty loss will exceed $2,000,000. The flood situation at Point Coupee Is desperate. Motorboais have been sent to the scene to take off the refuse8- Survivors assert that whole famil ies were swept to their death from housetops when the levee broke. Gov ernment officers here have been noti fied that at least 1000 persons are im periled by being marooned in tree tops, houses and rafts. Passengers on a train which passed thrnnch Mnrennza today state that people stood at the depot In water waist deep, signalling tor me iraiu iu take them aboard. The engineer and conductor would not stop the train because of the rapid rise of water. Tha ncci train which Dassed waa de railed and its passengers thrown Into the flood. MINNEAPOLIS, May 2. Criticism of the condition which enabled the church to gain "less than 2 per cent In its membership In the last year," and cnarges that the church press was being used as "a free forum by the promoters of disaffection" were made In the Bishops' report to the quadrennial general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church today. The report, known as the "Episco pal Address," was signed by 18 Bish ops in this and six Bishops in foreign countries and is regarded as the most important document to come before the conference, as It contains the Bishops' recommendation for the fu ture guidance and policy of the church. The report was read by Bishop Earl Cranstan, of Washington, D. C. An other section upon which the Bish ops have been at work since last gen eral conference at Baltimore four years ago, will be delivered tomorrow. "In the last year." said the report. " the church has made a net gain of but 55,000, which Is less than 2 per cent, as the outcome of the year's activities and the outlay of many mil lions of dollars. The' statistical par adox glares us out of countenance. It shames and humiliates us. What are honors of offices worth In any army that does not win battles? No marvel that some are proposing to reduce the Major-Generals to post du ty and let the army dissolve Into antique ecclesiastical camps." This was a reference to the propos ed limiting of the activities of the Bishops to a local district Their Jur isdiction now Is universal. Some of the reasons for the meager growth as set forth, were laid to a too BtHct application of the law of the church demanding that all members who re move from a given commulty without their church lettera be dropped from membership after one year. "A fair calculation," the report said .. i- .t..nrtinir fact thatprob- ably not less than 500,000 members disappeared from our rons uj less use of the 'dropping process. "Nevertheless we still face the pat ent fact that our distinctive doctrines are not being emphasized a they were once, or, where preached, are discredited for the time by a gain ..vin. wnrlrt drank with vain phil osophies and filled with gluttonous Indulgences." Pleading for an emphasis on the distinctive Wesleyan doctrines, the renort eald thev were the only power I to save the nation against vice.

Judge Ham ilton passed the death sentence upon George and Charles Humphrys, con victed of the murder of Mrs. Eliza Griffith, fixing Friday, June 14, as the date of the excutlon. Tho mvn received the court's an nouncement of their doom with an air of stolid Indifference. At tne Judge's command each In turn arose, replied In the negative when asked if he had anything to say before sent ence was pronounced, and sat down when the Judge concluded. Not an expression of their faces, not a move ment ot the eyelids, not a tremble of their bodies betrayed concern or dread. It ould be seen that theirs was a real, a bruttlsh Indifference, and not a proud repression of feeling. whan IiuIl'b Hamilton told George Humphrys that his crime was the most cruel and atrocious tnai, wunin his knowledge has ever been com mitted within the state of Oregon, he awakened no expression of Inter- As tho prisoners were taken back to the Jail, which Is some distance irom the Courthouse, George lighted his pipe and smoked with apparent relish.

The prisoners were taken to the state penitentiary on the 11:30 train this morning by sheriff Gellatly and Deputies Raber and Llnnvllle, and there they will be placed in the death cell for condemned prisoners. Governor West announced after the arrest of the Humphrys that he would not commute their sentence if they were convicted of murder in the first degree, but would grant them a re prieve until after the November elec tion, which it Is expected the voters will pass upon the question of abol ishing capital punishment EBY AND FREYTAG O.
