THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1906. 5 HEW T ON BEGINS Moderates Take to the Woods Against American Intervention. MALL -BANDS PLUNDERING leaders of Palma Party Reported at Head of Men Who Are Gather ing Forces Montalvo Sud denly Leaves Havana. HAVANA. Oct. 31. CSpecial.) Reports of a Moderate uprising In Santa Clara and Matanzas Provinces reached here to night, causing great alarm in the city, and bringing back the old feeling of un rest which prevailed Just before American intervention. The movement Is 6aid to be concen trated In ten or a dossn bands of roving Moderates, composed of a. score of men each. Several bande are reported In dif ferent parts of Havana Province and along the north coast. Among the cities which report having seen the insurrection ists are Punta Brava and El Cano. In thes cities the bands are composed of a greater number of men than are report ed to be rising in Santa Clara and Matan zas ProvlnceM and committing depreda tions on plantation owners in the vicinity. So far they have taken to the woods and are gathering horses from the plantations. The names of the leaders are not given in the reports received, but it Is said on good authority that the highest members of the Moderate party are implicated. Among the names mentioned are those of Montalvo, Freyre Andrado and others. At midnight Governor Magoon was still awaiting detailed reports, but none had arrived. General Montalvo visited the National Palace this afternoon and it is now rumor ed that he left this evening. Where he has gone is unknown, but rumors say he is with some of the Moderate bands which have taken to the woods. last Spring. Accompanied by Mrs. De pew, his son and two friends, he occupied a box at the New Amsterdam Theater. The Senator seemed to have entirely re covered his health, and appeared to thor oughly enjoy the performance. ' LAW DEFEATS JUSTICE Taft Tells of Absurd limitations Which Protect Big Criminals. OMAHA, Oct SI. Secretary Taft spoke twice here today, once at the Burwood Theater and again at the Boyd, both places being packed to suffocation, while hundrecte were turned away. In his Burwood speech Mr. Taft first discussed the trust question. He declared that, while the Democrats talk a great deal about the trusts, there is a lack of sincerity in it all. They do not, in the first place, tell what a trust is, nor do they give any well defined plan for their suppression. The Secretary then went on to define the term trust as it is commonly used and to enumerate the evils growing out of such institutions. He then took up the history of anti trust legislation, claiming that the only effective laws for the regulation of these great corporations have been enacted by Republican votes. Mr. Taft spoke of the many difficulties the present administration has encounter ed in ita efforts to enforce the anti-trust law. He declared that some of the consti tutional limitations on the prosecution of criminals are absurd, and their effect in many cases is to defeat the ends of Jus tice. He declared that many of the tech nical obstructions of which criminals. through the shrewdness of their lawyers. are accustomed to take advantage, should be removed. Notwithstanding these difficulties, he said, the administration's activity and the good worx of the last Congress had ere- W.C.T.U.

The adoption of a number of resolutions, among them one asking President Roosevelt to mention in his annual message to Congress the liquor traffic as "one of the evils that menace ' our Nation." together with a number of other recommendations of various inter est, were among the features of the day's proceedings. " The general session was taken 4ip prin cipally with short addresses by superin tendents. In the afternoon the reading of the reports of the standing committees and the final report of the executive com mittee wound up the final business of the session. Tonight Jubilee exercises were hei with addresses by the presidents of the van ous state delegations and prize member- Ship banners were presented.

FIELDING WINS VICTORY Unseated Canadian Minister Elected in Nova Scotia. Re. LIVERPOOL. N. S.. Oct. 31.-The ad ministration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier won a pronounced victory in a bye-election held in the Queens-Shelburne district today to fill the vacancy in the Federal Parliament caused by the unseating of W. 3. Field Jng. Finance Minister and Liberal leader in Nova Scotia, for irregularities commit ted by his agents in the general election Mr. Fielding was re-elected by more than 3000 majority over Dr. W. C. Weldon, the Conservative candidate. The defeat of Weldon by so decisive a vote Is attributed to the defection of cer tain Conservatives who were not in favor of opposition to the return of the Finance Minister. The defeated candidate Is dean of the law school of Dalhousie University, FIVE SCALDED TO DEATH Steam From Broken Boiler Cooks Men in Sugar-House. NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 31 Five persons were scalded to death by a column of escaping steam from a broken boiler in a sugar house near vacherie. La., yester day. A hole two feet square burst in the boiler drum, which stood about 12 feet away from the sugar house. The escap ing steam plowed a trench about three feet deep in the ground until it struck the nugar houpe foundations. This obstruction deflected the column of steam and hot water upward, so that it entered the sugar house. Depew's First Public Appearance. NEW YORK. Oct. 31. Senator Chaun cey M.

LIKFAS TRUSTS TO BIG HOGS Bonaparte Wants Little Fellows to . Get Fair Share. DENTON. Md., Oct. 31. Secretary Bonaparte spoke here today at a meet ing in the interest of illiam H. Jackson the Republican nominee for Congress in the first district of Maryland. Mr. Bona parts's speech was a plea for the con tinuation of the next House of Repre sentatives in Republican-hands. He quot ed figures showing the increase of the foreign commerce of the country since 1S96, when the Republicans came into power, in support of his contention that the National prosperity was due to Re publican Administration. "But this very prosperity," he contin ued, "is the source of some serious em barrassment. When a Nation grows rich the individuals who make up the Nation grow rich also and in some cases some of the individuals always grow far richer than others. We have developed a crop of Croesuses without precedent in his tory, and, moreover, the long-distance telephone, the ocean, cable and the' de velopment of corporate agencies enable these multi-millionaires to unite their wealth in huge combinations which threaten the commercial liberties of their fellow citizens and even bid defiance to our laws." ' Mr. Bonaparte likened the trusts to a pen of pigs in which the big. strong, over fed hog crowded the little ones away from their feed and got far more than its share. "Our big. strong, greedy, overprosper ous trusts are animals of the like order. They crowd their smaller and weaker fel lows from the feeding trough so that these don't get their fair share of our National prosperity. The problem is how to so fence off the great beasts as to give the little ones a show. "The Democrats propose to cut off the supply of swill, or. in other words, to destroy our prosperity by unsettling all our business relations. No- doubt this process would soon make the big hogs as thin a razorbacks, but would the small ones fare any better? "Remember, we don't complain of the former because they are themselves big and fat, but because they make others small and thin. The fatter the big pigs become the better for their owner and the more money the trusts make the better for the American people, provided in the one case all the little pigs get fat too, or at all events as fat as these can and in the other that all dealers outside of the trusts have a fair field and the trusts have no favor. "Our President wants and has always wanted a square deal for everyone, whether pig, lion or man, and under his leadership the Republican party has tried to put and keep each of our trusts in its own pen where it can't crowd any of the little fellows around it. To these ends, he has asked the aid of Congress and of the courts to keep the corporations and individual wealth of the country in due subjection to the law. not to make rich men poor, for to do this would only make poor men poorer, but make rich men law abiding so that poor men may become rich if they will. And Congress as well as the courts have responded to his appeal." No Change of Venue for Hering. CHICAGO. Oct 31. The application of Henry W. Hering. formerly cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, of which Paul O. Stensland was president, for a change of venue from Cook County was denied today.'

S. Says H. B. Miller. JAPS BUILT UP COMMERCE They Realize Good "Will Must Exist II Trade Is to Flourish and Are Anxious .to Foster Both. Japan is not looking for either an armed or commercial war with the United States, but instead is anxious to strengthen the friendly relations which now exist be tween the two countries. There is no country in the world which the Japanese regard in a more friendly spirit than thfey do the United States. This is the view of the newspaper sto ries to the effect that Japan is preparing for a war with the United States, taken by Consul-General H. B. Miller, of Yoko hama, who is now a guest at the Oregon Hotel. He holds the deep-rooted convic tion that the Japanese government is not antazonistic to America and its interests. and scouts the idea of the two countries meeting in conflict. "I do not believe that the Japanese want to create any trouble with this country." said .he yesterday. "I am firmly con vinced that there is no country whose good-will is more earnestly sought than that of the United States. "I do not think that the Japanese are acting because of hidden motives when they complain of the treatment of their students In San Francisco. The Japanese are an intensely sensitive people, and it also might be well to mention that they are a very sensible people in their inter national relations. "They are great admirers of President Roosevelt. Throughout Japan there is a distinctly friendly feeling towards Amer ica, and I feel sure that the Japanese will not do anything rash to break the pleas ant relations which now exist. "They are not likely to create war, and their thoughts at this time are primarily in the direction of the creation of a great commercial and industrial nation. They are bending every energy toward the es tablishment of manufactures to provide for the Oriental trade. They realize bet ter than we do that the commercial rela tions with this country are growing more intimate and extensive, and that peace and good-will is essential to the expansion of their trade. "So far as I know., Japan has great faith In the present Administration and believes that her citizens will get fair treatment. Whatever differences may arise. I am certain that the statesmen of the two countries can adjust them fairly and without friction." BUSINESS ITEMS. If Babr I Cutting Teeth B cere and ue that old and well-tried rem edy.

DESPITE his 70 years and more, the warm blood of youth coursed with such feverish heat through the veins of John Blkington. a local taxidermist, that yesterday afternoon he came to the con clusion that one of Cupid's darts had penetrated the cardiac region of his anat omy, and that the only remedy was con tained in the balm of matrimony. Acting upon this idea, he repaired to the County Clerk's office and told his troubles to Dep uty Christenson. who forthwith issued a marriage license entitling Blkington to lead Mary V. Shaver, a blushing damsel of 61. to the altar. "You see. it wu Just like this." explained the prospective bridegroom, as hi eyes grew brighter and his cheeks took on a crimson glow, "Mary said she was lonely in this world and I said I was ditto, and without ever popping' I up and tells her I would go and get the license and that we would be together the rest of our lives: so make it good and solid, young man." The accom modating deputy did as requested, and not only added a flourish or two on the precious document to make it more binding, but put on an extra seal be sides and wished the aged taxidermist all kinds of happiness as he proudly went in search of the other party to the transaction. Pain in the side nearly always com from a disordered liver and is promptly relieved by Carter's Little Liver Pills. Don't forget this..
