Bailey, Although Poor, Faces World With Clean Hands. CHICAGO, July 7. Speclal.). Ed ward "W. Bailey, who 14 years ago in the famous pork corner lost Ji,000r 000. together with the men asso ciated with him, last night mailed out checks for 60,000. thus wiping out the last cent of Indebtedness. He has not much money left, but faces the world with clean hands. For 14 years the payment of his obligations has been an obsession. Un der the rules of the game, he could have gone in bankruptcy, or "gone broke." and either method would have cancelled the obligations in the eyes of the law. But Mr. Bailey took a dif ferent view of things. He owed cer tain men certain amounts of money, and the repayment of these sums was his constant care, night and day. His name went for something and it stands for much today. The crash is pork which carried down many fortunes, caine August 1, 1893. Cudahy failed for $6,000,000, ftnd many of the lesser fry went under, never to emerge again. On the last day of July pork closed at $19 the barrel. The next day it opened at $18.75 and top pled to $10.50 and lard finally landed $5.90, after starting the day at $9.75. YACHTS TO BE RAFFLED Contesting Boats to Be Sold at Once to Pay Construction Cost. SEATTLE, Wash., July 7. (Special.) Both the cup challenger Seattle Spirit and the defender, Alexandra, are to' be raffled at once. The Spirit waa built by Ted Geary from subscriptions made in the form of a purchase of tickets for the raffle, and It Is related that Geary has not yet collected all of the $2600 that he put into the boat It self. The British Columbians sub scribed $3200 In the same manner to pay Fife, the famous English designer, for the Alexandra, and as soon as the fleet of yachts gets back to Victoria the boat will be raffled. Immediately on both sides of the line steps will be taken to get funds to build the yachts for next year's cup races. Everett yachtsmen have notified the Seattle Tacht Club they will challenge the right of this city to defend the cup won yesterday and a series of trial races between the two cities will be held next year.

WAGES TO BE ADVANCED Basis Is Reached on Which It f7Il Be Possible to Proceed With Building Operations In the Bay City. SAN FRANCISCO. July 7. After two months of almost continuous nego tiation fcetween the committees of building exchanges and the Heal Es tate Board, the prospect of an arrange ment of the question of wages In tho building trades has been brought meas urably nearer. , A meeting between these committees and representatives of the building trades resulted in an agreement to meet again in a week and take ' up in earnest the effort to reajh a basis on which the rebuilding of the city could be continued without Interruption by labor disputes or the handicap of almost prohibitory wages for the next 30 years. A schedule of the wages paid in all the trades connected with building has been prepared and used as a basis for making out a new schedule, which is practically the proposition of the build ers to the laborers of San Francisco. The schedule Is higher than the aver ago of other cities, even higher than the highest wage paid in each trade in most places. This is a concession to the acknowledged higher cost of living here. It is considerably lower, however, than the wages paid in moat branches of the building trades -in San Francisco. The new schedule nag already been submitted to labor representatives and a preliminary examination- on their part has developed no opposition to its general features. NO SUCH WOMAN EXISTS Story of Political Martyrdom In Mexico Proven to Be Canard. MEXICO CITY, July 7. A story emanating from New York to the ef fect that Madame Marie de Ruiz San doval, who claims to be the widow of Genera! Franco Sandoval, had received a letter from her sister, Isabel de Ruiz, DAYLIGH AHEAD Rosenberg Writes About Salmon Says Fish in Puget Sound Have Been Saved by Closed I Sunday and Prohibiting Stationary Gear Above Tidewater ASTORIA. Or., July 6 (To the Editor.) In your Issue of July 4 appears a. letter, "McGowan Retorts to Rosenberg." Were it not for your editorial. "Again the Salmon Plight," appearing in the same Issue, the following article would not have been written. Senator McGowan calls me various hard names, saying very little 4else. I am fully aware that all who advocate tbe reform, of certain abuses are usually denounced by the beneficiaries of these abuses. But I have learned that the American public takes very little stock In the statements of that side of a con troversy w h ich depend s on vi 11 fication of its opponents for support. Hence no 'answer from me to "McGowan's Retort" is needed. Entirely different, however, are the state ments made in your editorial. These state ments are backed up by the able and force ful reasoning characteristic of The Ore Ionian editorials, and if true would mean the condemnation- of the work, of the United Fishermen of the Pacific, of which organ ization I am the executive officer and the policy of which I am carrying out. ' You say In your editorial: "While rail road blasting on the north bank and heavy rainfall in Portland on Tuesday night (al most a waterspout' ) may be piloting many salmon past their eneml es, Ed Rosenberg, Henry McGowan, Sam Elmore, Prank Seu fert and Celilo Taffe, up to Warden Van Iu sen's empty hatcheries, that Is past be lieving for a person who continues to have respect for the cleverness of the salmon hunters. Nor will those gentlemen believe that such a miracle has been wrought to save the salmon from their clutches.' The United Fishermen of the Pacific is thus classed, among the enemies of the salmon. This certainly is an error on the part of the writer, though unintentional I fully believe. In the constitution of the United Fisher men of the Pacific, giving Its objects, the following appears: To work for the enact ment of laws which will give protection to its members and Insure the continuance of the fishery industry, now seriously threat ened everywhere on the Pacific throuch overfishing, through lack of effective and properly regulated and enforced closed sea sons, and for want of .sufficient hatcheries.' Example of Paget Sound. These are plain and direct words bearing on salmon protection. And they are words that have been backed up by deeds, as can be readily proven. Let us take Puget Sound district for Illustration, where during the last three years we have fought and won the fight for salmon protection. Three years ago, hatcheries on Puget Sound streams were running as empty as do now our hatcheries on the Columbia. The Puget Sound canners and trappers' combine somehow saw in this a good oppor tunity to drive out of business the Inde pendent canners and trappers and most of the drlftnet fishermen. Jointly with the Ftaser River canners' combine, they agreed to work for a law stopping salmon fishing on Puget Sound for two alternate years and establishing a 36-hour weekly closed season during other years. But in the bill; the 3&-hour weekly closing provision was a sham as far as traps were concerned. There were no specifications as to the closing of traps during the closed season. The law thus would have applied, only to drlftnet fishermen. As the two years' closing would have meant the ruin of the small Independent canners and trappers, and of many fisher men, these united to fight this trust law. Noting that this was an opportunity to get some really beneficent salmon protect ing laws, on the statutes, I insisted, on be half of the drlftnet fishermen at a confer ence with the Independent cannery and trapmen, that we Introduce a bill for a 36 hour weekly closed season, so drawn that trapowners, too, could be punished if they used their gear during the closed season. I also contended that if this were done and fishing In the rivers stopped at tidewater, we would have a plentiful supply of salmon at our hatcheries, to insure the growth and continuance of -the salmon Industry of Pu get Sound. This plan was adopted and bills Introduced in the Washington Legislature of lf05 covering these points. Drlftnet Men Work Alone. The trust measure for two years' closing was defeated after a six weeks bitter con test at Olympia- That was on a Saturday, a week before the closing of the session. The independent canners and trapmen then broke faith with the drlftnet fishermen. They hurried from Olympia, leaving me alone to get the weekly closing enacted and fishing stopped at tidewater. Attorney McCord of Seattle, legal representative of the trust, stated to me that he was in structed to oppose the weekly closing. It was thus up to the union fishermen to get the protection for our salmon. On the following Monday, State Senator Moore, now Mayor of Seattle, was asked by me to take charge of the 36-bour weekly closing measure In the Senate. He an swered, "It's no use, Rosenberg, all your friends, m eanln g the independent canners and trappers, "have left ytm and the oppo sition ta still very strongly represented. I uxgeA feim. to h.el na axsnzing that, a for in which the writer said that she, with 60 other Mexican women, were prison ers in Belem for political - reasons, is pronounced a canard by the authori ties. No such woman exists. General Sandoval, a Mexican exile, died in Guatemala on May 9, last. His broth er, who lives here, claims he was unmarried. SCHMITZ ASKS FOR HIS PAY Makes Demand on Auditor Norton for His June Salary. SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. Mayor Schmltz yesterday Sent a formal demand upon Auditor Norton for his full salary for the month of June, and for the $300 contingent fund allowed the Mayor's of fice for July. The letter contained a warning against paying these or any other sums upon the order of James L. Gallagher, the. Acting Mayor. The Auditor was notified that he, with his bondsmen," would be held personally re sponsible. Auditor Norton has decided that his only safe course Is to refuse to pay the Mayor's demands unless they bear the signatures of both Schmitx and Gallagher. Lebreton May Succed Schmltz. SAN FRANCISCO. July 7. District At torney Langdon, it Is said, has decided to advocate the selection of W. J. Lebre ton to succeed Eugene E. Schmitz as soon as the latter is sentenced by Judge Dunne. Mr. Lebreton is a banker ana philanthropist. He has been active In previous non-partisan political move ments. WRITERS ELECT- OFFICERS United Amateur Press Association Closes Seattle Convention. SEATTLE, July 7. At the eleventh an nual convention of the United Amateur Press Association of America, which closed Its sessions In this city last night, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Edward F. Daas, Milwaukee, president; E. R. Bean, Iowa, first vice-president; Irene Taylor, Bellingham, second vice president; Louis Brechler, Milwaukee, secretary; Sophia Baer, Baltimore, treas urer; Paul Cook, Vermont, official editor; S. Parker Rowell, Seattle, historian; Andrew F. Lockhart, South Dakota, lau reate recorder; E. P. Reid, California, Western manuscript manager; F. Roy Erford, Seattle. William C. Ahlhauser, Milwaukee, and Gerard Ballard, Brook lyn, directors. The next convention will be held in Milwaukee. Brick Buildings Collapse. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 7. Two brick buildings, three stories high, located near the northwestern corner of Meridian and Maryland streets in the center of the wholesale district, collapsed from some unknown cause early this morning, causing a loss of $230,000. six weeks the members of the Legislature had been continually talked to on salmon preservation, the right moment to get a good bill through had arrived. Moore then consented. Representative Frank Twlchell agreed to guard it in the House. The bUl passed and was almost ready for the Gov ernor's signature, one day before final ad journment, when somehow, overnight, the two principal clauses of the bill disappeared. Senator Moore then threatened If they were not restored, that somebody would see the Inside of prison bars. That restored these clauses and the Governor signed the bill. ' Senator Moore and Representative Twlchell If called upon, will verify these statements. Trapmen Break lav. But unfair privilege and short-sighted greed die hard. As soon as fishing com menced that year. Fish Commissioner Ker shaw, a willing servant of the canners ajyj. trappers' combine, allowed the traps to fish during the closed season, in direct violation of law. A few trapowners went through a sham trial and were fined $50. The law provided a fine from $50 to $1000, or Im prisonment from 30 days tm one year, or both fine and imprisonment. I then had several interviews with Gov ernor Mead and the Attorney-General, urg ing more effective prosecution. Assistant Attorney-General Booth took charge of the prosecution of a trapman, on evidence fur nished by the union fishermen. The case was tried before Superior Judge Prater, of King County, the attorney for the combine defending Graham, the defendant. Proof of Illegal fishing was absolute. The defense, as a last resort, produced a letter from Fish Commissioner Kershaw, wherein the trap owner waa shielded. Judge Frater, In his decision, stated : "The law has been vio lated, the ruling of the Commissioner is wrong, but In view of such ruling I do not wish this time to punish the defendant." This was really a victory for the salmon, for when shortly after Kershaw's term of office expired, and 97 per cent of the can ners and trappers of Puget Sound petitioned Governor Mead to reappoint Kershaw, the proof of his wrongdoing helped the fisher men, aided by the press and resolutions of central labor bodies, in preventing Ker shaw's reappointment. Mr. Rlseland was appointed Commissioner, enforced the closing law against the traps as well as against the glllnets and purse seines. The result was xmmedlate. Last Fall, for the first time In several years, the Puget Sound hatcheries had a plentiful sup ply of salmon. Puget Sound salmon fish eries are thus Insured of growth. Trapmen Again Foiled. An attempt waa made by the trappers, who chafed under the enforcement of the law, to have the Legislature of 190T elimi nate, in the weekly closing law, specific reference of how traps should be closed. To cover this trick, which If successful would have prevented effective prosecution of traps Illegally fishing, the minimum fine was raised In the presented bill to $250.' But we exposed the trick. A specific regu lation went Into the bill, also a clause that the Informer be paid one half of the fine. It is safe to say that neither trappers, gill netters nor purse seiners will violate the closing law without easy detection, for the Legislature also provided for more effec tive patrol service. And what we have done for Puget Sound we hope to be able to do for the Columbia. From the many assurances from many parts Cjf the State of Oregon of support to our measures, we are hopeful of soon being able to check the downward tendency of our salmon. We are confident that the sober Judgment of the voters of Oregon- will deoide next June that fishing shall stop In the nar rows of the Upper Corumbra. and the sober Judgment of the people of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California has al ready stopped fish lng for salmon wh ere similar conditions existed. The fishermen of Puget Sound have given irp 36 hours every week to the hatcheries, but there fishing stops at tidewater and no stationary gear of any kind Is allowed In our streams or the Frailer. Many of the men who have flAftwheels on the Upper Columbia have also fishing ap pliances on the Lower Columbia- There Is no attempt to debar any of these men from the lower river. Nearly all, If not all of the fishwheel owners, have become wealthy by being allowed to use wheels. Let them take some of their wealth to the lower river, start canneries there some of them have already done so and employ traps, seines or glllnets to catch their fishw The gillnet men do not ask for a monopoly of f Is hing o n the Co lumbla River, they are simply working for the abolition of "fish wheels because they know that the, wheels must go If the salmon is to be saved. Nearly every State, besides having closed seasons for game, has prohibited certain very destructive methods of shooting It. We want the same principle applied, to the salmon. I regret the length of this acrticM, but wished to be so specific that proof of my statements could be readily obtained. I be lieve that an ounce of fact is better than a pound at theory.
