THE MORNING OREGONIAN,. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1906. REFUSES TO PAY EXPERTS SALARY Washington State Auditor Gives Railway Commis ... siona Body Blow.. . BLOCKS IMPORTANT WORK Official Considers $1000 Month Ex orbitant for H. H. Gillette, Era . ployed in Learning Construc tion and Equipment Cost. OLYMPIA. "Wash., Sept. 28. (Special.) The task of ascertaining the cost of the construction and equipment Of the rail roads of Washington, now being carried on under the mandatory provisions of the railroad commission act of 1905, threatens to come to an abrupt close as a result of the refusal today of State Auditor Clau sen to approve the voucher for the salary of Halbert H. Gillette, the expert engineer in charge of this work. The state auditor takes the position that the salary of $1000 per month for Mr. Gillette Is exor bitant. J. C. Lawrence, a resident member of the railroad commission, tonight said: "The commission law says the commis sion shall ascertain, as early as is prac ticable, the amount of money expended In the construction and equipment per mile of every railway In Washington. For the purpose In this section named the com mission may employ sworn experts to in fopect and assist them when needed. On the question of salaries the law provides for a secretary at $2000 per annum, three clerks at $1200 each per annum, and such other' persons..: 'as. experts', as may be necessary to perform the duties that mayJ be required of. them by. this act. "The amount of money, involved In rail road construction in. Washington is pro bably J150.0W.000.- Getting at this cost is a big problem. The United States Sup reme Court has said that rate making is dependent upon, that cost. Certainly it is quite as important from the standpoint of taxation. The commission sought only the best talent to take charge of this work. We consider Mr. Gillette especially well fitted for such duties. He Is a New York engineer of national reputation and Is the author of text books on the subject of construction cost. "Mr. Gillette has other engineers work ing under him at from $125 to $150 a month and these salaries Mr. Clausen has ap proved. Uuder the plans of Mr. Gillette the entire work in this state will b com pleted within six months at a total cost not to exceed $20.000. " And yet the Stales of Wisconsin. Michigan and Minnesota, where similar work is now being car ried on, estimate ft will require from one to two years' time and the cost will run lip to from JGO.000 to $90,000. "There are plenty of cheap engineers to be had, tmt the Commission does not want to put a cheap man in charge of this Important work.' There is too much at stake. This work, in all human prob ability, will go into the courts on the question of rateti or taxation and we want to be nble to defend it with a, man of ability and reputation. The railroad com mission is perfectly willing to stand by its action in this matter. We have the authority of the Attorney General as to our legal right to employ experts and to fix their salaries. But outside of that we are perfectly willing to stand by our action. "Under our direction Mr. Gillette will Immediately begin mandamus proceedings against the state. auditor to compel him to audit tills account, I -consider It would be nothing less than a state calamity to have this work stopped, or to compel the railroad commission to put the work in the hands of an incompetent man.'

SETS VAN AUKEN FREE (Continned From Pace 1.) took to wring a confession from him. They told of his stoical denials of guilt and also of his proposition to pay up the amount stolen if the mat ter were hushed up and the investiga tion dropped. President Moore, of the Oregon Trust & Savings Company, told of a visit from Van Auker, who asked his advice as to whether he should re turn the money. Mr. Moore said he told him that if he had not taken it not to pay anything. The . gambling proclivities of Van Auker were shown in the testimony, and the prosecution developed the the ory that the money was taken to cover losses the sporting cashier had sus tained at faro. Theory of an Expert. Wjlliara Whitfield, an expert account ant from Portland, testified that the easiest way of covering up losses, had Van Auker gambled with the bank's money, would . have been to abstract funds from the gold reserve. The money missing was all in gold, and Van Auker entered on the books, soon after the robbery, a larger sum as miss ing than later developments showed "to be gone.

The prune crop of Yamhill County has been seriously affected by the recent rains and the lack of help in the orchards and dryers. Though the biggest " crop ever produced in the county, it will probably fall short of the small crop of last year; The early rains caused much of the fruit to fall on the ground and it has soured. A small majority of that on the trees was cracked. The rest of the fruit might be saved here if help could be had. It is reported that the yards at Dundee and Newberg will be unable to save more than 50 per cent. Other yards report a loss of 75 per cent of the crop. The Calbreath & Gouchee orchard of 70 acres, the largest yard in Yamhill County will lose two-thlrifls of the crop. Their large dryer will accommodate 5000 bushels but they were unable to fill it at any one time this year.' J. W. 'Keene has given up harvesting his crop and has turned the hogs in the orchard, because of lack of help. In the Judge & Galloway orchard, of Happy Valley, and the Kingery or chard, the crops are shortened over 50 per cent by lack of help. All the other orchards of the county report a corresponding loss, notwith standing the big crop of this year. Dike Young's River Lands. ASTORIA, Or., "Sept. 28. (Special.)

Soft Iron Bars Go Down Before Hard Steel Tool Fugitives Not Yet Recaptured. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 28. (Spe cial.) In a jail-break at the County Bastile between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning, three bad citizens, Robert Waddle, Guy Young and James Ken nedy, made their escape, and up to this time have not been recaptured. It was a carefully-laid plot that they carried out,, and proves that the present County Jail is not strong enough to hold pris oners, when they are provided with tools such as the saw used last night. The three men who escaped, and two others, Ingersoll. who is insane, and Bill Blevins. charged with horse-stealing, were confined in the upper cells of the Jail. In front of the cells is a corridor with a door at the north end. The prisoners were merely locked in this corridor, and not in their cells. At the south end of the corridor is a place where several cell-bars had been cut once before and repaired by patching. Here a hole about a foot square was cut. In order to make the opening it was necessary to saw through eight of the flat iron bars of which the Jail is composed. After getting out of the upper corri dor the men dropped to the floor be low, entered the bathroom and went up the Btairs leading to the female ward. A padlock was broken, and they de scended to an outer grated, window. One of the iron bars of the window was cut through at the top and bent to one side, allowing the three men to climb out to freedom. The break was not discovered until 8 o'clock this morning, when the cells were unlocked to allow the inmates of the jail to use the main corridor. According to the prisoners who did not escape, the break was made between t and 3 o'clock, and all of the sawing was done after dark last evening. Evidently, Blevins and Ingersoll had no desire for freedom, as they did not follow their companions. No alarm was given, however, by the prisoners who remained behind. The saw and several small files used by the Jail-breakers were found this morning in the woodshed. The saw is one of the kind used for sawing hard metals, and is about a foot long. It was still sharp, In spite of - the hard usage to which it was subjected. How the saw was smuggled into th Jail is a mystery, but it was no doubt easily accomplished. Friends of the prisoners, especially Indians, are often allowed to talk to inmates of the Jail through: the barred door leading into the main corridor from the Sheriff's office. As soon as the break wasdiscovered thi3 morning. Sheriff Taylor and all his deputies took up the chase, and every effort has been made to find the missing men. Waddle was held on a charge of high way robbery, committed at Echo last Winter. He is arcused of being an ac complice of Lewis, who is now in' the penitentiary, and who turned state's evidence against Waddle. James Ken nedy robbed the Imperial Restaurant of $13 while acting as night waiter, and has been sentenced to a year in the Penitentiary. Guy Young was await ing trial for stealing a suitcase at Echo. He had been in Jail several months. , It was only a few weeks ago that a Jail-break identically the same was discovered barely in time. FIHT OVER BOOKS. Stockholders of Seattle Smelting Company In a Riot. SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 28. (Spe cial.) As a result of a quarrel between two factions in the New World Smelt ing Company, a fight that almost ended in a riot occurred at a stockholders' meeting here today. Women and men shouted, .cursed and fought for the pos session of the corporation's books, which were finally retained by the president, G. L. Tanzer. Policeman Smith was one of the stockholders, and he led the rush on the president to seize the records. The corporation is composed largely of people of moderate means. They have a smelter at Cooke, Mont., In the heart of a rich mineral region. The stockholders' meeting was called to devise a means of raising $25,000 to further equip the smelter. In the course of his remarks Presi dent Tanzer several times criticised F. C. Byrne, a director and manager of the Cooke properties. Byrne started a reply, when Tanzer gathered up his records and attempted to leave the room. In a flash Smith was on his feet heading a rush toward Tanzer. He was joined by several rrfen and a number of women. Mrs. Thomas Ma son, a director, and her daughter led the women into the fray. Tanzer lost some of the records in the struggle, but he got away with most of them. He charges that the Byrne faction was really attempting to seize and destroy some of the old records that disclosed mismanagement. The fight will be carried into the courts. Alpine Season Is Over.

The paths i TORTURED BY ITCHING SCULP Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and Limbs Suffering Intense Doctors Said Too Old to Be Cured -An Old Soldier of 80 Years Declares: "CUTICURA TREATMENT IS A BLESSING" "At all times and to aU people I am willing to testify to the merits of Cu ticura. It saved me from worse than the tortures of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on' my scalp and temples, and afterwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs. I was advised to use salt and water, which I did, to no effect. I then went to a Surgeon , who commenced treating me with a wash of borax. This treatment did me no good, but rather aggravated the disease, I then told him i would go and see a phy sician in Erie. The reply was that I could go anywhere,' but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that I was too old (80 ). I went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. I bad read of the Cu ticura Remedies often. I was strongly tempted to give them a trial, so I sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent and continued taking the Resolvent until I had taken six bottles, stopping it t take the Pills. I was now getting better. I took two baths a day, and at night I let the lather of the Soap dry on. I used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. T am now cured. "The Cuticura treatment is a blessing and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. I can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such a curative.
