THE MORXING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY. OCTOBER, 9, 1906.
FINALLY DECIDE
TO LET
T
Roosevelt and'Shonts Agree
on Method of Dig
ging Canal.
WILL SOON PUBLISH TERMS
Chinese Laborers to Bo Turned Over
to Contractors Taft Will Have
Hand In Letting Chi
nese Contract.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. It has been
finally dechTed that the Panama Canal
will be completed by contract. In a few
daya the Commission will make public
a statement setting forth its reasons for
favoring the contract system, and at that
time a form of. contract will also prob
ably be published showing exactly the
sort of document believed by the com
missioners to be necesfary for safeguard
ing the work.
President Roosevelt Is known to sup
port the commission In Its position that
the work can be done more satisfactorily
bv contractors than by the Government.
He had a long conference with Chairman
Shonts today on the subject and the
various arguments in favor of the con
tract system were discussed fully.
This change in building the canal will
In no way affect the employment of
Chinese labor. Proposals for furnishing
the Chinese labor wore made undjr such
conditions that they can be transferred to
contractors and the terms can be fullilled
In such a manner that the Government
can give the coolies just as much protec
tion as It could if the Government were
the direct employer. It is likely that no
disposition will he made of the bids for
supplying Chinese labor until after the
return of Secretary Tart from Cuba, as
he assisted In drawing tho specifications
under which proposals were offered and
is much interested in the conditions under
which the Chinese are to be taken to
the Isthmus.
The President still Intends to visit the
isthmus this Fall and. unless there be
some change for the worse In the Cuban
situation, will probably leave for Colon
a short time after the election.

governing party thut It could not agree with
Itself. It became a struggling tangle of hos
tile faction. And there was the certain result
Browing out of its nature as the party of op
position. Must Follow Roofievelt.
The opposition as the minority of the House
Is UBeful as an opposition, hut the opposition
s a majority of the House becomes Instantly,
Instead of a helner In legislation, an ob
structor of legislation. The party of gov
ernment In a majority In rhe Houie must
follow Theodore Roosevelt, the head of -that
party and of the Government, or be discred
ited. The party of opposition In a majority In
the House would seek merely to embarrass the
Administration, who does not knov .that. If
the next . House 1a Democratic, it win bend
every energy, exhaust every resource, to malre
the Administration a failure In order to elect
an opposition President. With an opposition
House, who does not know that Instead of
broad statesmanship being practiced for the,
good of the people, small politics would be
played for the advantage of a party.
Vote to Support President.
' If the American people believe In Theodore
Roosevelt, they should support him by elect
Ins a House which Is pledged to make his
administration a continued bucccm rather than
a House, whose purpose would be to make It
a failure. We ask for a vote of confidence In
the Administration; the opposition asks for a
vote of censure of the Administration, and
that is all there Is to this campaign. So It is
that unless the Republican party has grown
careless In administering the Government, It
Is the party which can govern best, and, If
this is true, the only real question of this
campaign is settled In its favor, for the Re
publican party has been more careful In ad
ministering; the people's affairs during the laat
five years than It ever has been before. Pure
and able administration are synonymous, with
the name of Theodore Roosevelt.

ized." The letter, concludes with the

BRITAIN ACCEPTS TERMS
Real Fishermen of Newfoundland
Concede American Rights.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The news
that (he modus Vivendi between the
United States and Great Britain re
garding the .Newfoundland fisheries
had finally been signed was conveyed
to Secretary Root v In a cablegram
from Ambassador Reid today, advising
him that the British Government had
accepted the terms. No information
has been received at the State Depart
ment concerning the proposed resigna
tion of the officials of the Newfound
land Government on account of the new
agreement.
Some facts in relation to the New
foundland Govjrnment and the fisher
ies were stated, in which it appears
that the British Government has been
very much embarrassed during the ne
gotiations on account of the demands
of Newfoundland. The Newfoundland
Government is under the control of
the merchant fishermen of the Island,
those who buy. cure and sell the fish
ing products. They oppose any Amer
ican fishing rights, including those
guaranteed by the treaty of 1818, and
are dissatisfied with any arrangement
that the Brltisii Government makes to
carry out the terms of that treaty.
The real fishermen of the island are
not in harmony with the restrictions
of the Newfoundland Government, such
as denying the privilege of selling bait
and of allowing the fishermen to take
employment on the American fishing
vessels. The Newfoundland Govern
ment has no real responsibility In the
way of carrying out obligations. That
devolves upon the British Government.
SAT BRITAIN BACKED DOWN
Newfoundland People Angry at
Agreement With America.
ST. JOHNS. N. F., Oct. 8. Popular
anger against the modus vlvendl ar
ranged by the United States and the
British Governments relating to the
Newfoundland herring fisheries Is
growing. There is a general feeling
that the compromise arrived at was a
backdown on the part of the British
Ministry.
V
America Got Best of John Bull.

opinions on the modus Vivendi have been

States proposed an alternative to allow
American boats to take on crews within
the three-mile limit, but again Newfound

It impossible to satisfy the demands of
Newfoundland, agreed to the modus Vi

BRIDGE TOLLS SOON RAISED
Terminal Association Said to Have
Bought Structure of Alton.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8.-The hearing of the
ouster suit of the Government against
the Terminal Railroad Association was
resumed today. Charles E. McEwtng, a
brick manufacturer of Calhodn County,
Illinois, testified that six months after
the reported sale of the Alton bridge
to the Terminal Association, three years
ago, the rate on material across the
bridge had advanced from the former
rate of four-tenths of a cent per 100
pounds to 1 cent.
W. K. Kavanaugh, president of th
Wiggins Ferry Company and of the
Interstate Oar & Car Transfer Company,
gave testimony that showed that the In
terstate Company is a Terminal holder.

HAMLET LEFT OUT
Standard 011 .Trial Without
Rockefeller.
WILL TRY HIM SEPARATELY
0"hlo Will Endeavor Today to Con
vict Octopus of Conspiracy
Against Trade First Test
of Valentine Law.
FINDLAY, Ohio.. Oct. 8. Charged
with, "conspiracy against trade" in
violation of the anti-trust laws of the
state, the Standard Oil Company, of
Ohio, and its alleged constituent com
panies, the Buckeye Pipe Lino Com
pany, and the Manhattan Oil Company,
will be placed on trial here tomorrow
before Judge Gideon G. Banker and a
Jury In the Probate Court of Hancock
County. In the original Information
filed last June by County Prosecutor
William L. David, John D. Rockefeller
was made a party to the suit, but
through the granting of a request for
a separate trial Mr. Rockefeller will
not be called as a defendant until the
case against the company has been
disposed of. Mr. Rockefeller, it is said,
will not be summoned as a witness
and will not attend the trial.
Trust Disputes Jurisdiction.
If the manner of instituting the suit
by information instead of by grand
Jury Indictment and the Jurisdiction
assumed by the Probate Court are up
held in the higher state courts, the
case will assume added importance as
indicating an easier and more direct
method for action against alleged trade
conspiracies. Both the manner of
bringing the suit and the Jurisdiction
of the Probate Court have been ques
tioned by the attorneys for the de
fense, but Judge Banker has decided
against them on all points and no ap
peal can be taken on these prelimi
nary questions until the case has been
tried.
, Offense Is Misdemeanor.
Judge Banker ruled that a violation
of the Valentine law constitutes a
misdemeanor and? that the last session
of the Legislature gave Probate Courts
concurrent Jurisdiction with common
ideas courts over all misdemeanors.
To this ruling, as well as that on other
technical points, the defense took ex
ception. The Valentine law, under which the
action was brought, was passed July
1, 189S. It defines a trust elaborately
as a combination of capital, skill or
acts by two or more persons, - firms.
etc., to create or carry out restrictions
in trade. Violations of the act are
defined as "conspiracy against trade"
and are punishable by a fine of from
$50 to $5000, or imprisonment for from
six to 12 months.
General Reputation Is Proof.
As to the evidence required to con
vict the statute says: '
It shall be sufficient to prove that a
trust or combination as defined herein
exists and that the defendant belonged
to it or acted for or in connection -with
it. without proving all the members be
longing to It, or proving or producing any
article of agreement or any written in
strument on which It may have been
based; or that it was evidenced by any
written instrument at RlUThe character
of the trust or combination alleged may
be established by proof of its general
reputation as such.
BETRAYED ' BY ACCIDENT
Hungarian Count's Wife In Poverty
While He Courts Another.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8. Publication on ac
count of an automobile-accident, in which
both were severely injured, of the engage
ment of Count Charles Miarry de Lukac
sevich, of Hungary, and Miss Geraldlne
M. Randall, of this city, has resulted in
the engagement being broken oft through
the efforts of his former fiancee and her
mother, and the Count has been forced to
provide for his wife, who was discovered
living in poverty in the Hungarian quar
ter. The automobile accident was directly
the cause of all the Count's woes. While
wooing Miss Randell he had passed him
self as a single man, and was soon to lead
her to the altar. But the accident with
its subsequent disclosures revealed his
dual life, brought to light the wife he had
left to starve, and sent him into the
courts. The woman who bears his name
has begun divorce proceedings, while Miss
Randall's parents demand. damages on ac
count of personal injuries which their
daughter sustained by being thrown from
the automobile.
Incidentally the Count talks of re
plevying a yellow diamond which the
American girl now possesses, and is
wondering if she will sue him for the
fractious automobile, which he ears
that she will claim. The Count told
romantic stories of his former life. He
described the great estates of his
father, went into details concerning
his army experience, and exhibited his
decorations. It was a story all true
enough, except that he. omitted to
state that he had been disinherited
and banished from home. He produced
a certificate written in Hungarian set
ting forth that his wife had died in
the Hungarian town of Godollo.
