THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1906. 9 THROWN If J BARGA Vanderbilt Road's Method of Getting Coal Stock. "FOR TRAFFIC REASONS" New York Central Agreed to i'urnish Cars and Bought Fuel Gift of Stock Now Worth $1,500,000. PHILADELPHIA. June 5. Contrary to expectations. President Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania Eailroad. did not appear before the. Interstate Commerce Commls elon today, when It resumed Its investi gation of the alleged connection of the railroad with the soft coal and oil inter ests. Mr. Clements said the investigation had not reached the stage that demanded the testimony of Mr. Cassatt. The New York Central Railroad, the Buffalo, Roch ester A Pittsburg Railroad and the B. A O. Railroad were under Investigation, the hearings being conducted by Meters. Cle ments and Cockrell. Stock With Traffic Contract. Examination of officials of the New York Central Railroad occupied all of the morning sesslson and a part of the after noon session. It developed that no em ployes or officials of the company hold stock in coal mining or oil companies. Vice-President E. V. "W. Rossiter, who has charge of the financial department, testified, however, that the Beech Creek Coal & Coke Company had presented to the railroad 6000 shares of stock, par value J100. "for traffic reasons." Later, when the Beech Creek Company was merged into the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Company, this stock was surren dered, the railroad receiving $1,500,000 worth of stock in the latter company. Concerning th summoning of Mr. Cas satt, Mr. Clements said: "We shall not ask the highest officials of any of the roads to appear until we have learned all that is possible from their subordinates, and then if we think we want more light on the subject we may send for them. However, we will not stop until we know all about this matter. As far as I know, there has been no communication on the subject between the Commission and President Cassatt.". Mr. Rossiter, the first witness, said he was a director of the Beech Creek Coal & Coke Company, representing the interests of the railroad company on the board. He explained that the railroad originally held 6000 shares in the Beech Creek Coal & Coke Company, and that the company was absorbed by the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Company. While now a part of the latter company. Its business was con ducted under its original title. Terms of Coal Contract. "How did the railroad acquire its stock in the original Beech Creek Coal & Coke Company?" asked Commissioner Cockrell. "It was given to the railroad In 1S01, when the coal company was organized." "The railroad paid no cash for it?" "No; it was given for traffic reasons." Mr. Rossiter said a contract had been signed by the railroad and the coal com pany and the stock given in consideration of the contract. This contract was pro duced by counsel for the railroad com pany and read by Examiner Whitney. It was dated January 17, 1901, and by Its provisions the coal company agreed to mine at least 1,000,000 tons of coal every year and the railroad company agreed to furnish cars equal to that amount of coal annually, exclusive of fuel cars. The rail road further agreed to interest itself in no other coal company, excepting the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation. The railroad also agreed to purchase 500, 000 tons of fuel coal every year. The total capital of the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Company, Mr. Rossiter thought, was 110,000,000 to 12,000,000. Railroad Owns All Stock. Mr. Rossiter said the Clearfield Corpo ration was a merger of a number of smaller companies owned by the New York Central. These companies, he said, supplied only fuel coal to the railroads. "The capital of the corporation, he said, was Jl.000.000. The witness stated that the railroad ateo owned the entire stock of the Gallitzin Coal Company, but had an agreement with the Webster Coal & Coke Company and the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Company by which the latter operated the mines. Mr. Clements questioned Mr. Rossiter concerning the policy of the New York Central as to its officials holding stock in coal mining companies. He said there was no absolute rule, but it was tacitly understood to be against the policy for officials to bold such stock. ILL.IXOIS REDUCES RATES. State Commission Makes Cut of Ten Per Cent.

RETAINS THE OLD SYSTEM Party Conventions Are Held, But Voters Elect and Instruct Del - egates, Except as to County Offices. CHICAGO. June i. (Special.) The new primary elections law recently enacted at a special session of the Illinois Legisla ture is not a pure direct-primary nomi nation law, such as that in force in the State of Oregon, but is a measure which combines the features of a direct primary and a convention system. Conventions will he held as in the past. Delegates to the conventions will be elected at prima ries held under the usual election regula tions. At the primary election the people will cast their ballots for candidates also, but the vote will be an instruction to the delegates to the convention, and will not have the effect of nominating a candidate directly, except that candidates for coun ty offices may be nominated by direct vote if desired. The instruction which the primary vote conveys to the delegate to the state con vention Is to cast one ballot for the can didate wno received the highest vote in his delegate district. After the first bal lot he is at liberty to vote as he desires. There is nothing compulsory about the observance of the instructions, but it is believed that the delegates will follow the instructions given at the polls. It will require a majority vote in the state convention to nominate. If there be two aspirants for a nomination, one of them may receive a majority of all the votes cast, and yet not have carried a major ity of all the delegate districts, in which event, if the delegates follow instruc tions, the aspirant carrying the majority of the districts would be nominated over the aspirant who received the majority vote. Where there are three or more candi dates for a nomination, one candidate may very easily carry a majority of all the delegate districts and yet not have a majority of the total vote, in which event, if the delegates carry out instruc tions, he would be nominated on the first ballot in the convention. Illinois Law a Compromise. The Illinois law is a compromise meas ure and is not claimed by any one as an ideal system for making nominations. It is generally conceded that the law will need amending, but this will be left to the discretion of Legislatures that sit after the law has been tried. At the spe cial session called by Governor Deneen for the purpose of enacting a primary law to replace that declared unconstitu tional by the Sepreme Court, there were members who held five classes of opin ion: First Those who favored the nomina tion of county officers only by a plural ity vote, not Dermittina: the names of any other candidates to be placed upon the of- nciai Dauot. Second Those who favored the nomina tion of all candidates by plurality vote. abolishing all conventions. Third Those who favored the direct nomination of such candidates as received a high plurality vote 35 per cent was named otherwise nominations to oe oy convention. Fourth Those who favored direct nom inations by a majority vote; otherwise nominations to be by convention. Fifth Those who favored a uniform date for primaries and a uniform date for conventions, leaving the management of the primaries and conventions to the judgment of the several county commit tees, as at present in 96 counties of the state. Statement by the Governor. After Governor Deneen signed the bill that was agreed upon by the Legislature, he made a statement explaining the com promise end setting forth in a general way the terms of the measure now in force. He said in part: A compromise was effected upon the basis of instructing the delegates by plu rality vote, but requiring a majority of the delegates to nominate. While the bill is not an ideal primary law, it will appear from reading it that much of the criticism to which it has been subjected is unfounded and that the bill is in fact a meritorious measure and will grow In the popular confidence as the people become familiar with its opera tion. This bill represents the best com promise that could be effected of the dif ferent views represented in the General The law enacted at the extra session provides for: First A uniform date for all party pri maries (August for this year). Second The hours for primaries to be the same as those for regular elections. Third That judges and clerks therefor shall be the regularly constituted judges and clerks for general elections. Fourth That the place for holding pri mary elections shall be the regularly constituted place for holding general elections. Fifth That the names of candidates for United States Senator, elective state of ficers (except University Trustees), Con gressmen, members of the Board of Equalization, State Senators and Repre sentatives and county officers shall ap pear on the ballot in alphabetical order, with squares In front of each. Each of ficial ballot shall be printed by the coun ty and voted secretly under the Austra lian ballot system. Provides for Secret Ballot. Sixth That a delegate ballot shall be printed and circulated by private persons, everybody being accorded that privilege, suDDlies of which mav be left with the judges inside the polling place for the use of voters; the ballot to be voted secretly. seventn i ne aeiegaxe district was maae necessary by the decision of the Supreme Court requiring uniformity. Heretofore in Cook County the delegate district was the political unit from which delegates were sent direct to state. Congressional, Senatorial and county conventions. In the other counties the county was the politi cal unit. The voters elected delegates to the county conventions only, and the countv conventions selected delegates to state. Congressional and Senatorial con ventions. It was necessary to make the district the political unit, oecause. if the county were made the unit. Cook County would have to select, in county conven tions, delegates to its ten Congressional districts and 19 Senatorial districts.- This could not be, because the law would not permit voters to select delegates to any Congressional or Senatorial convention except from those districts in which they lived. But, for convenience, it was pro vided that the voters vote in election pre cincts, the results to be certified to the County Clerk, who issues the credentials. A delegate district is defined in the act, but because a primary election is a party matter, the power to designate the pri mary eleotion precincts which shall con stitute a district (which must be compact and contiguous) was lodged in the coun ty committees of each party. Publicity One of Objects. Eighth The delegates are instructed to cast one ballot for those candidates ex- cept county officers) who receive a plu rality of the votes in the delegate dis trict. It would have been idle to have the instructions bind longer, because so long as obeyed each ballot would have been a repetition of the first. It is believed that the delegates selected will follow faith fully the will of the voters as expressed at the polls. The objection that they will not do so was urged against the senti- LIFE SAVED BY SWAMP BOOT. The Wonderful Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. SAMPLE BOTTLE SENT FREE BY MAIL.

But everybody now recognizes the fact that such a vote will be binding, as it is in all those states which have such laws. Publicity here as elsewhere will prevent indirection and manipulation. Ninth No provision regarding instruc tions for county offices was made, in or der to allow those counties which desired to nominate county officers by plurality vote to do so. Tenth The law provides that there shall be no alternatives or proxies, vacan cies being filled by delegates from the district. No one can act as an officer of a convention who is not a delegate, and the chairman of each convention shall be elected by rollcall. Credentials are is sued by the County Clerk, and the County Court determines the contests before the convention convenes. This prevents ma nipulation by the committee on creden tials and abolishes the contesting delega tion. WOMAN SWALLOWS POISON Mrs. G. D. Austey's Life Saved by Son's Prompt Actiom Because of an unhappy love affair, Mrs. G. D. Austey, of 308 Twelfth street, tried to commit suicide by swallowing poison on Morrison street, near Sixth, late last night. She was taken to Nau's Pharmacy, in the Portland Hotel, where antidotes were given and her life saved. She was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital. Mrs. Austey, who is a widow, was walk ing with her son on Morrison street, when she complained of a headache and en tered a drugstore ostensibly to get head ache tablets. Instead she bought bichlo ride of mercury antiseptic tablets and after reaching the street took ten of them, throwing the bottle away. Her son picked up the bottle and was startled to find it labeled poison. He hastily secured medical attendance and this saved her life as two or three of the tablets are sufficient to cause death. , The woman was thought to be out of danger at midnight.

The Re publican state convention tonight nomi nated the following ticket: United States Senator. Robert J. Gam ble; Representatives in Congress, Philo Hall, Brookings County, Colonel W. H. Parker, Lawrence County; Governor, Coe I. Crawford, Beadle; Lieutenant-Governor, Howard C. Shober, Hyde; State Treasurer, C. N. Cassill, Lincoln; Secre tary of State, D. D. Wipf, Hutchinson, present incumbent; Attorney-General, W. S. Clark, Spink; Superintendent Public Instruction. Hans A. Ustrud, Minnehaha; State Auditor, John Herung, Campbell; Commissioner of Schools end Public Lands, O. C. Dockken, Duell. The so-called insurgent Republicans were in full control of the convention. The first direct test between the two ele ments came on the question of indorsing a candidate for United States Senator. Gamble was proposed by the "insur gents," while the "stalwarts" named Congressman E. W. Martin, of Deadwood. The vote resulted: Gamble 901, Martin 468. The platform indorses President Roose velt as "a wise and courageous cham pion of the rights of the people, fighting the battle against special interests that seek to control the political affairs of the country." South Dakota Senators and Representa tives are commended for their support of the President's railroad policy. On the tariff the platform says: Wa steadfastly adhere to the Republican policy of protection to American Industries, but believe that the tariff rates should be modified from time to time to meet changed conditions. For the benefit of the American homebutldera and the protection of our forests, we favor the abolition of ail tariffs on lumber. The platform favors prohibition of cor poration campaign contributions and the election of United States Senators by the people. STORM AHEAD IN ARKANSAS. Warm Contests Promised at Demo cratic State Convention. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., June B. The Democratic state convention convened at 10:30 o'clock this morning and after a stormy session effected temporary or ganization and adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow. Indications are that several contests yet unannounced will appear, one for the United States Senatorial nomina tion not being improbable. What was supposed would result in a test vote of the strength of Governor Davis and Senator Berry today devel oped nothing more than a test of the strength of John S. Little, who will be the nominee for Governor. Neither Berry nor Davis will discuss his plans. INDIANA DIVIDED ON BRYAN. State Convention May Indorse His Candidacy for 1908. INDIANAPOLIS, June 5. That unusual interest is being taken in the Indiana Democratic convention, which will con vene here Thursday, is shown by the early arrival of a large number of the leaders. Possible indorsement of a candi date for the Presidency is causing much feeling between the rival wings of the party. An earnest effort will be made by tbe Hike Srcm. jf friends of William J. Bryan to have the convention declare in his favor, and Bryan sentiment was outspoken among the delegates tonight. . Says Yellow Journals Did It. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 6.

Blood, Jr., in his annual address said that public ownership of utilities is proving a failure In England and America.

Despite the opposition of many delegates from the country districts, the indications are that Edwin S. Stuart, of Philadelphia, will be nominated for Governor at the Republican state convention tomorrow.
