12 THE MORNING OKEGOKTAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1903, MISS WARE iS COOL Gives Herself Up to Custody of U. S. Marshal. THEN RELEASED OH $2000 BAIL Arrests Have No Connection "With Hermann' Election Horace G. McKinley Tells How 72,000 "Was Made in School Land. Miss Marie "Ware, ex-United States Commissioner at Eugene, came to the city yesterday In response to a telephone message from her friend, Horace- G. Mc KInley, and surrendered herself to the XTnIted States Marshal to answer the charge of forgery and conspiracy -with McKinley and others. She treated the af fair coolly and as a purely business mat ter, and under the careful drilling of Carey & Mays, her la-wyers, shut herself In her room at the Imperial and re fused to say anything for publication about the case. Miss "Ware -was fully prepared on her arrival in the city, accompanied by a young -woman friend. Tastefully dressed and with a smile on her lips she pre sented herself at the office of the United States Marshal and said to Deputy Mar sha! "Wbrthlngton: "They telj me I am. to be arrested. "Well, here I am." She was taken across the hall to the office of "United States Commissioner Sladen, where her sureties, Finley Morri son and George F. McCllntock, both tim bermen, awaited her. Her bail was fixed at $2000, and each of these gentlemen be came surety for $1000. She readily agreed to June 13 as the date for her hearing, the fact that that date Is a Friday caus ing her to remark that she is not super stitious. S. A D. Puter, the third party to the alleged conspiracy, is expected in Port land before the end of the week. Judge Thomas O'Day yesterday promised John H. Hall, the United States District At torney, that Puter would come right away -without service of process. He is believed to be in "Wisconsin. The Interesting question now Is: "What ' Is the true name of John Doe, the fourth person named In the warrant? A. R. Greene, the special agent of the Interior Department, was asked the Question last night but refused to answer it, and spec ulation is busy as to the identity of the accused. No Connection "With Election. The statement that action In this case was delayed until after the election of Binger Hermann to Congress lest It should have an injurious effect on his chances is ridiculed as absurd by Mr. Greene, who fiald: "Miss "Ware was not & 'United States Xaxid Commissioner,' as she has been called, but was ' a United States Court Commissioner. She was no more under the Jurisdiction of Mr. Hermann than you are, but was appointed by the United States District Judge and was amenable to Tilm. She would have been' removed "by him If he had not taken compassion on her and allowed her to resign. By an act of the first session of the last Con gress, the jurisdiction of United States Commissioners was extended to allow United States Commissioners to take ap plications and final proofs under the timber and stone act as they had done under the homestead act. The talk about holding up the case until after Hermann's election is nonsense. Nobody ever accused me of being a friend of Hermann. The arrest of McKinley was made sooner than wo expected. We did not know ho was In the city, for our information was that he was. in Engene. He was arrested within an hour after wo found he was here, as we thus saved the expense of sending an officer to Eugene." McKlnley's Quarrel "With Lloyd. Mr. McKinley maintains that his arrest was made solely on information furnished by his former associate In business, Clyde X.loyd- This Is his story of his quarrel -with Lloyd, which Is peculiarly interest ing to the people of Oregon because it reveals that the State Is selling for 52.50 an acre school land which costs the ulti mate purchaser $24 an acre, a string of middlemen getting the difference. "The State allows each citizen to buy 320 acres of school land or lieu land at $2.50 an acre. Other men advance the money and act as attorneys for the nomi nal purchaser from the State, taking an assignment from them. In this manner S. A D. Puter became the owner of 4100 acres of timber land In Eastern Marion County, all In one body, on mineral base. I cruised the land and got options on it. Lloyd put up the money for it, paying $5.50 an acre and took an assign ment in his name, but had agreed in the presence of -witnesses to divide the profits from the sale with me. He as signed it to E. A Lawbaugh. M. B. Ran kin, and J. Frank Watson, who were agents for the purchase of timber land for "W. H. Gilbert, of Ashland. "Wis. Gilbert paid at the rate of $24 an acre -and took a deed from the State. Thus he paid $9S,400, out of which the State got $10,250 and the middlemen got the differ ence. All the cash Lloyd is out is $14. 000. and he wants to keep the $72,000 proQL In addition, Gilbert bought through Lawbaugh, Rankin and "Watson a large tract of Oregon & California railroad 3and, but I had nothing to do with that deal. "The quarrel between Lloyd and mo be gan In regard to two pieces of land In Southern Oregon, for which duplicate deeds were made, one to Lloyd, the other to Puter, I think. Lloyd bought the land lor $1200 on my advice., but without my knowledge Puter had sold the same land to McLeod, of the Hammond Lumber Company. Lloyd held me responsible for the money he had paid, because l was in terested with him. Puter had sold first, but neither Lloyd nor I knew of it. I eaia to Lloyd: 'Deduct It from the money that 1s coming to me on the other deal. but he said: 'Xo, you go and raise the money.' I got the $1200 and sent It to the First National Bank of Eugene to be paid over on condition that the Lloyds settled with me, but that was not their game. , His Suit for Share of Profit. "I began suit against Lloyd last Au gust for my share of the $72,000 profit on the deal with Gilbert and that made him sore, and ho jumped in -with the special agent and thought he would get even -with me In that way. He has said re peatedly that if I would drop the suit against him he would do all ho could to stop the proceedings against me. Ho told Mr. Hobson this less than a week ago at Eugene. The whole thing is that he vaults to keep the whole of that $72,000, though I have letters from George Lloyd, of Nelllsville, Wis., his father, saying that when the deal was closed I should get half the profits." "But -what transaction is the basis of the charge against you?" Mr. McKinley was asked. "I don't know," he answered. "I have done nothing which could be made the basis of such a charge." When Mr. Greene was told of Mr. McKlnley's explanation of the origin of the charge against him he remarked that there was plenty of evidence to support the charge lndependen of Clyde Lloyd's. "YVnlUout for a Reinstatement. HOQUIAM. Wash., June 3. (Special.) All the machinists and help in that de partment of the Northwestern Lumber Company's plant walked out this morn ing, refusing to return to work until James Walker, one of their companions, who was discharged, had been reinstated. This is not a question of wages or time, but a clash between the machinists and the mill foreman, who. they claim, had unfairly treated this man and had dis charged him -without just cause. There -is some fear of this walkout being general, as the union men will go-if ordered. DEDICATES NEW HALL. Central Alblna Board of Trade Frond of It "Work. There was a good attendance last night at the dedication of the building of the Central Alblna Board of Trade, on the corner of Mississippi avenue and. Shaver street. The hall on the second floor in which the exercises were held was deco rated in an attractive manner with a pro fusion of flowers and National colors. M. E. Thompson, president of the board, was master of ceremonies. In opening the programme he said he felt highly grati fied that the building had been completed, which had engaged the patriotic energies of the community for the past two years. Mr. Thompson said that June 12, two years ago, the Alblna Board of Trade was organized, and the club had early started the movement toward the erec tion of a public building. Some had doubted the wisdom of the project, but all the members had loyally supported the effort, which had been brought to a suc cessful conclusion. Miss Elizabeth Hoben rendered a piano solo, and then Mr. Thompson read a let ter from F. E. Boach, president of the Portland Board, regretting that he had been compelled to leave the city and could not be present. Mr. Beach said In part: "I shall hope to have the privilege of, meeting you. at an early date, as I am in hopes to see the plan again adopted to have representatives from all sub-boards FORMER PORTLAND BUSINESS MAN -DIES IN NEW YORK The death of Charles Flshel. CHARLES FISHEL. meet with the main Board along the lines on which they were first organized. Ex cellent work was done by thie old Board, and I believe much futuno good could be accomplished by again Incorporating this feature into our organization, each local Board working as they are now in their own locality for anything of special im provement to their immediate neighbor hood, and then going into the General Board to take up matters of general in terest to the entire city and state. Some of the other sub-Boards have expressed a desire to resume the former relations and I hope your Board will be of the same mind." C. W. Miller, formerly secretary of the Portland Board of Trade, who organized the Alblna Board, spoke briefly, and strongly recommended .resuming the rela tions of the local Improvement clubs with the central body. H. I. Hudson, Misses Elizabeth and Katie Hoben, Miss Julia Cole and Walde mar Seton gave pleasing selections, when Mrs. L. M. Davis, president of the La dies' Auxiliary, made a short address. A F. Flegel, Councilman from the Eleventh Ward, also spoke briefly. The remainder of the programme was made of numbers given by Frank Motter. Miss Nellie Mc Kenna, J. E. Staples, Doris Marie Bell, Florence Jackson and Edward A Jack son. At the close the Ladles' Auxiliary served lunch in the banquet hall. The building in practically completed at a cost of $5500.

CHICAGO, June 3. Men are more emo tional than women, as well as being supe rior In physical strength and inventive ness. Miss Helen Bradford Thompson, doctor of philosophy, has proved, she says, after two years of experimenting with 25 young men and 25 yousg women students. Miss Thompson is one of the leading psychologists of the country. She com pleted her work in experimental psychol ogy at the University of Chicago two years ago, and is now the director of the Psychological Laboratory at Mount Holy oke College for Women, in Massachusetts. Miss Thompson's experiments were made in psychological laboratory at the Uni versity of Chicago, and the results of her work have Just been announced In the advance sheets from a work published by the University of Chicago Press entitled, "The Mental Traits of Sex." Seven dif ferent sets of tests were applied to each of the 50 "subjects." The general results of her tests. Miss Thompson declares, "show that the superior ingenuity and superior strength of men are not due to 'sexual difference of mind,' but to the influences of society as now organized, especially in the fact that the boy is taught to be independent in thought and action -while the girl is taught obedience and dependence. ADOPT PLANS TONIGHT. Fourth of Jnly Committee Calls for Full Attendance.

His Chinese Victim at Death's Door, He Flees the City, FearlaK Police Mar AiraJce. Owing to the inactivity of the police in the case of S. Seln, who was shot by a negro In an opium Joint last Friday eight, the negro has been allowed to es cape. "Big Red," as he is commonly called, loitered about the city for sev eral days after the shooting and was not molested by the officials. As soon as he knew that the Chinaman was in a criti cal condition, he disappeared. Since those who saw- the trouble have found that the police are not making any effort to capture the disturbers of the peace, the fight of Friday night is being talked of freely. Both "Red" and a negro known as Dave Knox were using guns, and both fired several shots. At first it was thought that neither negro was Injured, but friends of the partici pants say that Knox was shot through the arm. The Chinaman, S. Seln, who was one of the proprietors of the place, fared the worst. A stray bullet fired from Red's gun struck him in the back, ranging through the chest cavity and Into his arm. "Only a stray bullet scratched his hand a little," one of the men who wished to protect the place told the officer who started lo investigate, and with this as surance the Investigation ceased. Whether the affair was ever reported by the offl- for many years a prominent business man at Portland, in New York on Juno 2, Is an nounced in a telegram received by A B. Steinbach yesterday. He was a native of St. Louis, Mo., and came to Portland with Joseph Kohn in January, 1SS5. They engaged In the clothing business here under the firm name pf Kohn & Flshel. and continued in business until 1S73, when the firm was dissolved and Mr. Flshel went into part nership with Andrew Roberts, under the firm name of Flshel & Roberts. In 1SS2 or therea bouts the firm dissolved and Mr. Flshel went to San Fran cisco and soon after to New York, where of late he had been president of the Fechhelmer, Fishel Company, manufactur ers of clothing, 74S Broadway. He was 59 years of age and had been in poor health about six months. He will be remembered by many friends among old time citizens as an energetic and honorable man of business and a genial companion and patriotic citizen. cer on the beat is not known, but. if the report was made, it ended as a report and did not arouse any action on the part of the officials. The Chinaman was taken to the hospital and has been laying almost at death's door. When asked as to his condition last night, the sister who has him In charge shook her head slowly, and cald: "He is doing as well as can be expected. His wound is a bad one." "Will he get well?" she was asked. "His chances are better than they were a few days ago," was the nearest assur ance she was able to give. In, the meantime the negro, who will be responsible for Seln's death if he does not recover, has been allowed to escape, and m case the shooting terminates as a murder ho probably will be as exempt from prosecution as the murderer of Henry Meyer a short time ago, or as the murderers of the two Chinamen killed In the recent hlahblnder war. "Red" evidently had no fear of the po lice when he thought the only charge against him could be disorderly conduct, for he was In no hurry to leave after the shooting. He talked of the scrape to his friends, and told of the interesting time he had had. When a few days later he learned that the Chinaman was in danger or dying lie thought differently. Perhaps if It should terminate as a murder, and he should still be around in such con venient places, the police would really pick him up and make an effort to obtain evidence that would convict hlra. He left apparently without even telling any of Lis friends where he was going. That Tilt In the Minister Meeting-. PORTLAND. June 3. (To the Editor.) For the sake of fairness. I think a word should be said by myself as to what real ly was said and took place in the Minis ters' meeting Monday morning. I confess I was much surprised on reading the Tuesday's Oregonian. to discover that the reporter had made so sensational an ar ticle out of what was said, and denlornd the fact at the time. I considered he was dealing frivolously with a matter which required the gravest decorum. I can see the feelings on the part of my Jewish friends in the city would be much aroused at the words attributed to the Rev. C. E. Cllne, and I can also see that his Aara feelings would be taken at so gross a mis representation before the public. Having presented the resolution myself, I beg to present tne matter through your paper in its proper light. In the first place, there was no feeling in the meeting- more than what is usual when a weighty matter upon which a difference of opinion exists is presented. In the second place, the dlf ference of Judgment was as to whether a vote should be taken in the congregations' of the city, as indicated by the second paragraph. I myself thought that would be cumbersome, and concurred in the striking of that out. In the third nlace. it was the consensus of opinion, so far as I could discover, ' that some kind of reso lution should be passed the only open opposition against such a resolution com- ing from the Rev. Mr. Cllne, and yet it is fair to say that he voted for the resolu tion in Its final form, at least I so under stand. I am represented in this morn Ing's Oregonian as saying that the report in xne uregonian of Tuesday auotinc Mr. Cllae's words Is substantially correct. That I believe, but, that I may be fully understood In the use of that phrase, and all parties be properly represented, the following will make my meaning plain. Tne oregonian quotes Mr. Cllne as say lng:"I am not opposed to the Jews on ac count of their race or religion. But we must not rush in and trouble the Secre tary of State. Russia is a Christian na- tlon, well able to take care of her own difficulties, and I protest against interfer ence with her private affairs. With all re spect to Mr. Lathrop, he knows nothing of tne situation of the Jews in Russia. He knows nothing about it, and neither do any of us." He did say that. Then he Is quoted as saying: "There are two re ports; one that the massacre was un called for." That he said. Then the re porter represents him as having said "The other, that 'ritual murder actually existed. That Mr. Cllne did not say Nor did he, in my judgment, imply any such thing. I did not have while he was speaking the. Idea of 'ritual murder" in my thought. Whether any of the other ministers did, I do not know. I consider that phrase gratuitous (the reporter's own). It Is too serious a matter to go un corrected. The rest of the speech of Mr, Cllne as reported Is correct, unless it be IN A TIGHTB02 If they run in here, they can drive a bargain today. Here are 80 wash suits in a tight box. Will 39c give them a gait ? We hope it will move you to look at them per haps they are not as good as we think let's hear what you think. LION CLOTHING CO. 165 THIRD STREET NEAR MORRISON Soon we will move to new store across the street. . the word "unjust" in the following sen tence, which he disclaims, and which I do not remember: "How are we to know that the report that the massacre was en-' tlrely unjust is true?" This is what I mean by saying that the report of the speech as given in The Oregonian is "sub stantially correct." It Is to be regretted that the unfortunate 'ritual murder' was introduced. The resolution, which was finally adopted, was agreeable to myself, and, with the substitution of the word "condemn" for the word "protest," was virtually, the one presented. In conclu sion, permit me to say that the condition of the Russian-Jew in the pale settle ments is, without question, pitiable in the extreme; and while no one claims that the Jew Is wholly blameless, nevertheless, when 6,000,000 of people anywhere on the face of earth are passing through such unspeakable suffering as are they at this time, it becomes every American, and especially every Christian, to throw the whole weight of his influence as speedily' and Intelligently as he can for the assuag ing of human misery.
