THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1907. THE! WILL FACE LONG LIST GRIME Moyer, Haywood and Petti bone Must Answer for Colorado Outrages. SO STATES MR. DARROW llrfrnsc Figures Out Wliat Prosecu tion Expects to Do and in An ticipation Is Gathering Mass of Evidence for Clients. DENVER, Colo.. March 31. (Special.) When C. R. Moyer. W. D. Haywood and O A. Pettlbone. officials of the Western federation of Miners, and T. Lamer, a former member of the executive commit tee, face a jury at Boise May 1. they will be placed on trial for the murder of ex Governor Steunenberg of Idaho, but the prosecution will attempt to bring into the case the assumption that they are guilty of the Independence. Colo., explo sion, the killing of Detective Lyle Gre gory in Denver, the assassination of Ar thur Collins at Telluride. Colo., and the entire list of crimes with which the West ern Federation has been charged. This Is in substance the declaration of Clarence M. Harrow, the famous Chicago attorney, who. with E. F. Richardson, of Denver, has charge of the defense. "The prosecution will endeavor to prove a great conspiracy," Attorney Darrow said last night in an Interview. "All the tragedies enacted in Colorado will be brought into the case by the prosecu tion, its idea being to show that while the accused men were in Colorado when Steunenbcrg was assassinated, by prov ing their connection with the crimes in Colorado, they fasten also the guilt of the Idaho tragedy upon them. "Believing this to be the procedure the prosecution will follow, we are now gath ering evidence to combat it. I shall f.pend a week in Cripple Creek looking Into the Independence explosion, which has never been thoroughly gone into. We shall also visit Telluride In search of evi dence there." Asked as to what bearing the result of the trial of Steve Adams has on the Moyer-.Haywoori and Pettlbone case. At torney Darrow said that it could be con strued as a hopeful omen. Darrow will go to Idaho after attending to matters here in which he is interested. B. F. Richardson will remain In Denver until Just ttefore the trial begins to look after the Colorado end. START P0WERPLANT WORK Willamette Falls Will Be Farther Hnrne.-sed to Make "Juice." OREGON CITY, Or., March 31. (Spe cial.) One hundred -thousand dollars will be expended thht Summer in this city by the Portland Railway. Dlght & Power Company, and work will be started as snon as possible at the basin on the east side of Willamette Falls, where the com pany Intends to erect a big power plant next year. Excavations will be made and the rock will be used in the construction of a concrete flood wall across the head of the basin and close to the side of the basin as far as old Station A. which will be demolished In order to make room for the new plant. This wall will be uti lized for a coffer dam for the new plant, and the company will also build a con crete dam around the falls, to connect with the dam that was built from the ex treme west side to the center of the falls several years ago. Thomas W. Sullivan, hydraulic engineer of the company, arrived here today to superintend this work, and says that snundlnes will be taken at once, the ac tual work to start as soon as the stage of water permits. "We expect to complete this work be fore October 1 of this year." said Mr. Sullivan this afternoon. "Between 100 and 150 men will be employed constantly, and under favorahle conditions there will he no delay. Heavy concrete piers will he constructed on the west side of the river, and these piers will support a drift boom which will be maintained for the purpose of diverting floating drift from Station B pond. We are also going to make extensive repairs to the canal and locks this year. "It is possible that the construction of the new high-power plant will be com menced by next Spring. This will be built in sections of 10,000 horsepower each, with three units to each section. "Our company has just started the con struction of a new 25.000 horsepower plant on the Clackamas River, about two and one-half miles from the dBkadero plant that has just been placed in operation, and the new plant will be an improve ment over the one at Caxadero, in that there will be no dykes or long flumes to build, and the construction will be of concrete throughout." With the removal of Station A, the first plant of the Portland General Electric Company will disappear. The original plant was put up in 18S9 and 1890 and housed two sections. It was made of cheap frame boards, but was afterwards reconstructed, and during the great flood of 180 the building stood the fury of the raging waters and was not materially damaged.

WAR ON SEMI-PROFESSIONALS Pacific Northwest Association Will Warn Amateurs. SEATTLE, Wash.. March 31 (Special.) The Pacific Northwest Association, the governing body in amateur athletics of the Northwest, has decided to make war on the semi-professional baseball clubs playing in Oregon and Washington. A circular letter has been prepared and will be sent to all the papers of the North west warning amateurs that they will lose their sanding if they Join the semi professional clubs. The Northwest Association is anxious to build up a series of purely amateur clubs and will encourage such organiza tions to add other branches of amateur sport and if satisfactory to equip meet ing rooms, or clubhouses. Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, of Portland, was primarily responsible for the big fight that is to tie waged on the semi-professionals. It Is insisted, how ever, that the line will not be drawn sharply against those amateurs who hai'e offended in the past, but who are willing to keep a clean record for the future. It has also been decided by the North west Association that the organization will hold future athletic meets under its auspices instead of delegating these meet ings to the various clubs. The big out door meet of the Seattle Athletic Club to be held this Spring will be the last of th club affairs. XEEDS SANCTION OF A. A. XI. Otherwse Tonight Boxing Tourna ment Will Be "Professional." Unless the management of the boxing tournament which is to be held tonight under the auspices of the W. O. W. In their new hall, at Eleventh street, gets the permission of the Amateur Athletic Union to hold the meet, all who take part will be declared professionals. A telegram to this effect was received by The Oregonlan last night from H. H. Herdman, who Is In Seattle. Professor Herdman. who Is one of the local mem bers of the Amateur Athletic Union exe cutive committee, says that he has no desire to interfere with the programme of the W. O. W. and that he will sanction the tournament If every boxer taking part will go to Frank Watkins and se-1 cure a card from the A. A. U. Professor Herdman has been authorized to sanction the tournament if the management will . show that it intends to conduct a purely I amateur meet. He will arrive from Seat- tie this morning and It is not thought there will be any difficulty in arranging I for the meet with the sanction of the A. A. U. The point in question is covered in ! Rule four of the Official Athletic Rules of the Amateur Athletic Union. This rule says: "Any person competing or ex hibiting at open sports, or any athletic entertainment that is not given under sanction of the Amateur Athletic Union or one of Its allied members, 3hall there bv disqualify himself from competing at any sports given under sanction of the Amateur Athletic Union. "A rule which has recently been adopted by the A. A. li. absolutely pro hibits the reinstatement of any one who has been declared a professional. The tournament tonight will be the first ever held under the auspices of the W. O. W- athletic club, and some of the best padded mitt artists in the city will appear in the squared arena. One of the features of the evening will be the heavyweight go between Lau rence Madden, who aspires to cham pionship honors, and William Chapin, of the W. O. W. club. Madden Is the reputed champion of the Oregon Agri cultural College, and is expected to put up a fast tight. There will be five other classes, as follows: 156-pound class, 145-pound class, 125-pound class, 115-pound class. Hood Bottler and Ted Rushton, two well-known local boxers, will give an exhibition match. A number of en tries have been made in each class, and when the referee calls time some cork ing tights are looked for. The officials will be Jack Day, referee; J. P. Kav anaugh, timekeeper, and A. L. Barbur, announcer. His Defeat Not Conclusive. ' The defeat of Edgar Frank at New ark last Friday night in the prelimi naries for the 125-pound wrestling cnampionship of the United States is still the leading topic of discussion, at Multnomah Club. Frank will leave New York in time to enter the lnter club meet at Spokane, April 12. Wheth er or not this will be the last appear- Photos by Ftratton, Woodland, Wash. GEORGE BAXTER. ance on the mat of the clever light weight Is a question that is causing considerable gossip. Frank has in tended to retire for some time, but his marvelous improvement In the last year has brought great pressure to bear on him to remain in the game. Few particulars have been received here in regard to the bout in which Frank was defeated, other than that the decision was a very close one, and the great throng of spectators loudly condemned the decision of the referee. Fred Rennick, who has been skepti cal In- regard to 6-mlnute contests from the start, said yesterday: "Edgar Frank is the best 125-pound wrestler in the United States today, and the fact that Dole, the Intercol legiate champion, won a decision over him in6 minutes does not indicate anything. Probably at least half of the 6 minutes, if not more, were taken up before the first hold was secured, and 3 minutes, or even 6, gives a wrestler no time to demonstrate his ability. Frank is a great wrestler when underneath, as was demonstrat ed in the match with Tilly, the 150 pound Seattle wrestler. It is easy to hold the upper position when once se cured, if no attempt is made by the man on top to throw his opponent. No peferee should render a decision against a man because he is under neath, for often the under man is the aggressor. "Had the match between Dole and Frank been 15 minutes and for two falls out of three, I think a different story would have been told. There is another thing that was perhaps detri mental to Frank, and that is feeling of the East against the West. When there is any doubt in a case like the frank-Dole bout. It Is certain that the Eastern man will get the advantage. Take, for example, the record of Dan Kelly; Oregon's great sprinter. When 'ne made his great record run at Spo kane the Eastern critics immediately got out their hammers, and have made the anvil ring ever since. "In spite of Frank's defeat at New ark, if he remains in the wrestling game I expect to see him crowned king of the 125-pound wrestlers." There are approximately 75.000 electric Elgns In the United States. Havem One Doctor No sense in running from one doctor to another. Select the best one, then stand by him.

Berger Says Roose velt Is Aiding Socialists. THEY LIKE HIS AGITATION National Committee Has Started a Campaign to Spread Socialistic Doctrine In 26 States of the Union. MILWAUKEE, Wis.. March 31. Victor L. Berger, the Socialist leader, tonight announced the plans of the National Ex ecutive Board, of which he is a member, for spreading Socialism into 26 states of i the Union where interest is now luke warm. Mr. Berger, who is one of the most thoughtful students in the party, makes the statement that President Roosevelt had stolen many of his Ideas from the Socialists. "All this recent agitation .and unrest," said Mr. Berger, "and the showing up of how corporations are running things is making votes for us and swelling our membership. "The people are awakening. They are becoming more liberal, and beginning to understand social conditions 'better. Why, look at President Roosevelt, his agitations and exposures are helping us immensely. He is paving the way for Socialism. While he Is not of our faith, neverthe less he is helping us. Every' time he shows up the corporations he makes votes for us. The more he agitates the bet ter we like it. He is convincing the people that we know what we are talk ing about. Why, he has even stolen some of our ideas. "The entire country has been divided into three classes of states as follows: Class 1 New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin and California. Class 2 Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Idaho. Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky. Mine, Maryland. Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota. Missouri, Montana, New Hamp shire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylva nia, Rhode Island. Texas, Vermont, Wash ington and West Virginia. Class 3 Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ne braska, North Dakota, South Dakota. Ne vada, New Mexico. North Carolina. South Carolina, Utah, Tennessee and Wyoming. The scheme of the Socialists is believed to be the preliminary campaign which they are making for the present. y BRUTAL CRIME WOODLAND (Continued From Flret Page.) father nor the son was1 armed with a revolver, and nothing in the way of fire arms could be found in the boxcar or in the railroad yards. The Coroner, how ever, found beneath the body of the mur dered man a 32-caliber revolver, two of Its chambers being empty. The supposi tion is that, following the shooting of their companion, the Baxters threw their guns into the slough that lies along the railroad yards, and then deposited- either one of their own revolvers, or that belong ing to the dead man, beside the corpse, after having Inserted two empty cart ridges. But for the fact that Foster had been shot four times, this circumstance would have supported a suicide theory. At least, it would have diverted much sus picion from the Baxters. Murdered Man Is Burled. The body of the murdered man was buried here this afternoon, following the inquest. As 60on as the verdict of the jury was returned, formally charging Baxter and his son with the crime, the accused men were taken to Kalama by Sheriff Klrby, where they will be- impris oned in the county jail. "Baxter and his son were about the hardest looking citizens I have ever seen," said E. H. Flagg. editor of the Rainier Gazette, last night. Mr. Flagg was at Kalama Saturday night and joined Sheriff Klrby and posse early yes terday morning and went to Woodland, where he assisted in capturing the mur derers of Foster. Mr. Flagg came to Portland last night, having secured photo graphs of the murderers and the scene of the crime. He reports that the elder Foster is about 53 years old, while the son Is not more than 32. DATE SET FOR MOHAIR SALE Polk County Growers to Sell Po 1 April 20. DALLAS. Or.. March 3L (Special.)

The I CURE MEN ONLY I have treated men's diseases only for twenty-live years, and one year of my prac tice represents a greater volume of good ex perience than several ve-i's brings the aver age physician or specialist. In explanation of this statoment will say that I have been the busiest specialist upon this coast, curing several cases to other physicians' one. I be gan my practice with accurate knowledge concerning men's diseases, and my patients have received thoroughly scientific treatment. I "nave not only treated an unusual number of cases, but have treated them rightly, thus acquiring an abundance of the very best kind of experience experience of positive value to those I treat and experience that enables me to offer cures with certainty of effecting them. WEAKNESS . My ability to cure those derangements commonly termed "weakness" has done more to extend my reputation as a specialist in men's diseases than any other thing. I was the flrst to discover that "weakness" is mere ly a symptom resulting from a chronically Inflamed prostate gland, and that to remove this inflammation is the only method of per manently restoring lost vigor. To this day my system of local treatment is the only scientific one in use. In years I have not failed to effect a complete cure. There are two reasons for this. First, the unequaled effectiveness of my method; second, because I attempt to cure no incurable cases. My long experience enables me to recognize those that have passed into an incurable stage, and I treat only such as I know I can cure.
