Iff THE MORNING OREGONIA2T, SATUIOMlY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1905. CONFIDENCE IK TIE LOVE FEAST Republicans Think it Will Bripg Harmony . to THeir Party. SENATOR FULTON'S VIEWS Ghnirman Baker Says That by Bring ing Men Together Ho Hopes 3Iuch From the Reunion of ,the Republicans. the St- John Lumber Comp&ay (Doug las plant). These tiro plants occupied about 1000 feet of water front, and stood so close together that In case fire broke out In one the other was sure to be de stroyed. Immediately following the de struction of the plants, it was announced that both companies would rebuild on substantially their old foundations, but on much larger scales. Since then one of the owners Interested has argued that a single large plant would be better than two small ones built as were the former two plants, and could be operated at much less expense, while the danger from Are would be reduced one-half from what it would be with two mills 1ft proximity. If the plans propped we carried out, the consolidated plant will occupy all the water front bf the two plants destroyed, And also the water-front lands of the Central Lumber Company, owned by N. B. Rankin. This would give the company a frontage of about 1600 feet or more, and It would be one of the largest sawmills In the city. It is announced that fair progress is making in the negotiations for this consolidation plan, and that the prospects of its being carried out are ex cellent. It will give St. Johns quite a boom if this consolidation should take place as proposed. UPTON AND EVANS TESTIFY GIVE THEIR EVIDENCE IX THE CATON CASE. Confident that the Republican re union for October 12 will open the way to hRrmony, Frank C. Baker, chairman f the State Central Committee, is go ing ahead with arrangements for the levofeawt. In the last three days he has received messages from many parts of the state, commending the peace con ference. Senator Fulton is an fvocate of the conference, and says that even should M lasting results come of It, still, It oan bring no harm and the chances In its favor are strong. "The Republicans of Oregon' said he la-st night, "are pretty good people, and if they can put away their old feuds lng enough' to meet together, they will discover It. If past disputes cannot be roconjciled, what Is the use of keep ing them alive? Cannot the guiding minds of the party, those who believe In its principles and have confidence in its purposes, put aside the old troubles fr the sake of the future? It is my be ll of that they can: therefore I have con fidence that the proposodsreunion will turn out successfully in many ways. Finds Finn Laudable. The reunion plan is larudable. It may bring good to the party and the princi ples for which the party stands; cer tainly It can bring no evil. Whenever persons begin on an enterprise they S4Mtult together and In this case when many thousands of Republicans wish to attain an end, it Is right and fitting tnit they should confer. It should be plain that Mr. Baker has no personal m4s to sorv In this matter. The con ference is net called to grind any man's ax or te boom any man's opportunities for office; In fact, the conference 'will probably banlsa altogether, discussion f candidates for office." Common Basis of Understanding. Senator Fulton continued to say that there ought t be some common basis of understanding for all Republicans and that he for one was willing to go Into any united movement and to work with any and all of the nolltlcal ele ments that heretofore have been at Vr any papers. I kept the key for two war. He was ready to do this whatever political sacrifices It should 'entail on himself. Any candidate that the party sitotild nominate, he would support with all the energy that he possessed. If he hotieved that this, or that candidate for a nomination was stronger than an etnar. he would forego that opinion and Join In support of whatever candidate the party should pick at the prlmarlos. Mr. Baker, he said, had called the mooting because he was in the fittest place to do it. As chairman of the Statj Bontral Committee. Mr. Baker was the Than to take the initiative in bringing the discordant elements into harmony. Mr. Baker had conducted the last two state campaigns In an able manner and occupied the head place In the party and Senator Fulton did not know of any Republican In the state in a bettor portion to issue a call for a reunion. Invitations So Far Issued. Invitations to the lovefeast thus far havo boon Issued only to members of the State Contral Committee, who are to Invite other Republicans from their own res)ecUve counties. Mr. Baker will Is sue the summons In Multnomah County and says that he will request Republi cans of every camp to attend. Said he: "It has been alleged that my object is to make peace in the party. That is not the case; my object is to bring Re publicans together in a reunion and to give them opportunity to make peace themselves. . "If the meeting shall succeed in promot ing harmony I shall take no credit to myself for Itg achievement. Nor shall I undertake In any way to direct the af fairs of the conference. -When President Roosevelt succeeded in bringing the Czar's and the Mikado's envoys Into conference, they were the ones that made the peace; he only gave them the opportunity to make it He Hopes for Harmony. T trust that the so-called lovefeast win build up such a public sentiment, from its deliberations, that Republicans win feel themselves constrained to sup port the primary nominees." Mr. Baker has sent out a second letter .to members of the central committee ask ing them to Invite "all Republicans" who they believe "will attend the reunion." The first letter requested them to Invito a "goodly number of representative Re publloenH." Mr. Baker says further In the pocond letter: "Let them understand that the Re publican party wants the direct primary .law to have a fair trial, and that we ex pect all Republicans to express their choice of candidates at the primaries, and afterward to stand by the tick'et nom- Inated at those primarlea" Mr. Baker asks the committeemen to publish In the county press the names of the men Invited to the reunion. CHARTER A SPECIAL TRAIN Two Theatrical Companies Go to San Francisco Tonight. The Wilton Lackaye Company, now ap pearing at the Marquam, and the Briga dier Burlesquers, now at the Baker, have chartered a special train over the South ern Pacific to take them to San Fran disco In time to open their engagements in that city. It had been planned to omit the regular Saturday performance at both theaters to enable the companies to catch the regular south-bound train, but. through the special arrangement that have been made, the special will leave the Union Station late at night, thus en abling them both to give Saturday-night performances. MAY B UlLDij ARGE SAWMILL Own wners of the St. JohnsPIant Xego tiatlng for Consolidation. Negotiations are in progress by which one- large sawmill may be erected on the St. Johns water front to take the place of the two small plants recently de stroyed by fire, and owned by the Oregon Fir - Lumber Cpmaay (Coop aatni gd Tell How They Went to the Residence of Caton at Solicitation of His Sister. ' To refute the statement of counsel for the administrator of the estate of Bcii Jamln F. Caton, Jay W. Upton and Dud ley Evans took the witness stand In Judge Sears' Court yesterday, and testi fied that they knew nothing whate'cr regarding the $2000 certificate of deposit Involved In this litigation. Both positive ly asserted that they had never seen it. Upton said he and Evans went to Ca ton's residence, at Kenllworth, where ho was alleged to be barricaded In his house and armed with a shotgun, at the solici tation of Mrs. Elizabeth Lovelace, Ca ton's sister. The old man was represent ed to be In a dangerous mood, and prob ably Insane. This was on March 6, 1H6 Upton was at that time bailiff of the County Court, and In the line of his du ties such cases were brought to his no tice. Evans was as now county health officer. "She worked on my sympathy." said Upton, and I went out of my way to go and see Caton." Upton said "he and Evans went to the house where Caton was said to be armed and had nailed himself In. They found a shotgun in the room with Caton, a pis tol on the table, and fwp pistols upstairs under the pillow. "Caton told ma he had some money up stairs," continued Upton, "which he went upstairs and procured, going alone. There were several hundred dollars, and he took It with him to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was given a receipt for It." This money was afterwards de livered to the administrator. "I never saw the certificate of deposit days, when Mrs. Lovelace oaxne for it. and returned it to me. I retained it until, 1 think. Administrator Harry E. Northup came after It. "I went to Caton's house merely as an accommodation. I was not required to do so; that was Mr. Evans business. I went with Evans because he -thought the man was dangerous and he ought to have some one with him." Evans corroborated the evidence given by Upton. The principal evidence for the defense was given by A. W. Lambert, cashier of the Citizens National Bank, which col lected the certificate of deposit for A. N. Wilson, the alleged owner. Mr. Lambert stated that the bank had possession of the certificate three or four days before it became due, on April 2S, and perhaps a week. It was collected on April 27, and after this suit was begun the money was turned Into court, Mr. Lambert said he was testifylhg from memory. Wilson came to the bank accompanied by Charles F. Lord, and Lord identified him. and Lord Indorsed the certificate at his re quest. The witness described. Wilson as a man about 55 years old. with hair slightly gray. The evidence of Mr. Lam bert contradicts the evidence of E. M. Simonton that R. O. Scott presented the certificate to him the day b6fore It was due. . In arguing the case to the Jury, W. S. Hufford. attorney for the administrator, commented on the fact that A. N. Wil son, who is said to be In New York, made no personal appearance In the case. The case will be given to the Jury by Judge Sears this morning. BEST VALUE$QN EARTH Today we will show the strongest lines of new Fall suits. Fall coats.
