THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1907 3 PLAN III T Klaw & Erlanger Aim to Con trol 500 Houses in Eu rope and America. WILL ABSORB VAUDEVILLE $100,000,000 to Be the Sum Repre sented In This Latest Expansion of Theatrical Magnates Slayer Goes Abroad to Investigate. NEW YORK, July 18. (Special.) A gigantic chain of theaters for vaude ville and legitimate dramatic purposes, including 500 leading theaters In this country and many scattered about Europe, Is the latest plan of the Klaw A Erlanger syndicate. Lvy Mayer, general counsel for the big Eastern theaterlcal managers, sailed today for London on the Krona Prince Wllhelm, wlrh the express purpose, it is said, of passing & legal opinion upon the plans already drawn up in London. With the leasing of certain theaters, the erec tion of others ard the consummation of necessary contracts, over $100,000, 000 will be be sum represented In this latest expansion movement of the Klaw & Erlanger Interests. Not only will many of the leading theaters abroad come under the control of the Ameri can theatrical men, but many of the very high-priced European vaudeville attractions will come under the ex clusive management of the American Invaders abroad. A. R. Erlanger confirmed the report of the plans to create the International trust, in an interview given out in Pittsburg yesterday. Mr. Erlanger was in that city, in connection with a deal for the purchase of a Bite for a new theater to be erected there. "It is true that we are about to make our interests co-extensive with Europe and America." declared the theatrical man. "I can see no reason why a homogeneity of management end ownership will not be highly beneficial to the public, the players, the produc ers and the owners. We have secured, and will present in this country next season, all the big vaudeville acts of Europe, as well as the principal plays." POSTAL LINFS MANIFEST Submits Statement of Wages Earned by- Employes. XEW YORK, July 1.-The visit of La. bor Commissioner Neill to San Francisco in connection with the telegraphers strike at that point affords the Postal Telegraph Cable Company the opportuni ty to present its side of the case to Mr Neill, the public, and to the company's employes generally throughout the United States. The company submits as the strongest possible refutation of the false state ments of the striking employes that they have been underpaid, the following sum mary of its San Francisco main office payroll for the month of May, the month preceding the strike. "The average wage earned and paid telegraphers who worked at the key for the month was $112.52, or at the rate of 44 3-4 cents per hour. The highest class men are paid at the rate of $99 per month, each. These men draw an aver age pay of $131 each for the month, the highest drawing $153.12, the lowest $116 81 the average pay being at the rate of 64 cents per hour worked. The next grade of telegraphers are rated at $93.50 per month, each. These averaged during the month $115.39 each the maximum pay being $132.48, the min imum $94.90, the average pay per hour worked being 46.7 cents. . 'The third class of telegraphers are rate at $88 per month each, and earned an average of $106.83 each, ranging from $S8 to $135.88, the average pay per hour being 41 cents. "Five other operators, whose monthly rating was from $66 to $S5, earned an average of $S4.95, their average pay being within a fraction of M cents per hour Day men work nine hours, night men work seven and one-half hours, and late night men, seven hours. All time worked beyond these hours Is extra, and is paid for at the rate of seven hours for a day. In addition to the regular monthly wages earned, and In addition, to overtime worked and paid for at the rate of seven hours per day, certain telegraphers on Important circuits are paid a "bonus" or by "piece work" for all messages handled during the working day,' in excess of the established minimum capacity of the wire. One operator thus earned during the regular hnurn fr- vhiH larly paid, $36.84; another operator earned $33.81; another, $30.86; another, $24.54. and so on." OPERATORS MAKE REPLY Secretary Russell Answers State ment of Postal Company. CHICAGO. July 16. Secretary Rus sell, of the .Commercial Telegraphers' Union, tonight issued the following statement In reply to the statement Issued by the Postal Telegraph Com pany: "The statement of the Postal Tele graph Company Is misleading, as it in not stated the number of hours,' work required of the men, that they might earn the amount mentioned. The com pany has merely struck an average from the entire payroll. "Taking accurate figures, we find the telegraph operator who received a sal ary of $99 for the month of May, which netted 27 working days, received ex actly $3.66 2-3 per day, and 52 3-7 cents for each hour overtime worked. In order to make the sum mentioned by the company, the telegraph operator had to work over nme days extra. The aame facts apply to the employes who received the second-grade salary. They were compelled to work from nine to ten days extra, to make the money the company endeavor to show that they were paid as a regular recompense. In addition to this, the greater majority of the operators concerned in the pres ent controversy did not receive the top salary, nor even the second-class sal ary." EARL KN1TE IS DROWNED Meets Death While Helping With Log Drive Xear Salem. SALEM. Or., July 16. (Special.)

ABERDEEN SHORT OF WATER Sawmill Asked to Conserve Their Supply May Force Shutdown. ABERDEEN. Wash.. July 16. (Special.) As a' result of the unusual dry weather there is likely to he shortage of water during August. The city authori ties each year are confronted with the water problem, owing to the limited sup ply which can only be remedied by ex tending the mains 2o miles north, at enor mous expense. The city's growth and limited water supply are questions which have perplexed several administrations in the past, 'and this year with the long con tinued drouth the situation is much more menacing than before. The Mayor and Council have Issued warnlnga to the mill men and large users of water, and this. it is thought, will result in a saving of 2.oup.ooo gallons this month, besides re ducing the expense of operating the water plant. Unless heavy rain falls this month, all the mills, or some of them, mi't necessarily be closed In August. Elonement Is Frustrated. TACOMA. Wash.. July 16. (Special.)

K. TEXER CONCEDED GRAND EXALTED RULER. Contest Over Grand Treasurer and Secretary Hotly Contested Dal las, Texas, Gets Next Meeting. PHILADELPHIA, July 16. The grand lodge of Benevolent and Pro tective Order of Elks, after two busi ness sessions today; adjourned without having made any announcement as to the result of its elections. It Is gene rally conceded, however, that John H. K. Tener, of Charleroi, Pa., has been chosen grand exalted ruler of the or der. - The only official announcement, so far, is that Dallas, Tex., has been chosen for holding the next grand lodge reunion, and that Judge Henry A. Melvin had appointed the following to constitute the grand forum: Charles E. O. Pickett. Waterloo, Iowa, for a term of 10 years; Marc Rohner.lDetrolt, two years; William H. Moore, Seattle, three years; Thomas J. Cogan, Cincinnati, four years, and Robert W. Brown, Louisville, five years. The new body, which is really a court and will decide all matters within the organization, came into life with the . adoption of a new constitution, which went Into effect today. Under the system adopted, the forum will be infused with new blood each year, the term of one member of the body ex piring annually. Members of the order said there were several unexpected and close fights. Grand Secretary Robinson stated after the lodge adjourned at 5 o'clock that there were 1700 ballots to count, and that there would be no official announcement until tomorrow. .John W. Wagner, of Kansas City, was opposed for grand treasurer by R. W. Leach, of New York. Fred Robinson, who It was expected would be unani mously re-elected grand secretary, also found George A. Reynolds, of Saginaw, Mich., a competitor. Among the candidates for places on the board of trustees Is Benjamin F. McNulty, of San Francisco. According to the report of the secre tary, the order has now passed the quarter of a million mark In member ship, there being in existence 1081 lodges with a membership of 254,532. The report of the grand trustees rec ommends that owing to the large fund now in the treasury, amounting to more than $250,000, the per capita tax be re duced to 15 cents. A feature of the reunion is the elab orate entertaining of the ladles accom panying the out-of-town Elks. The State Fencibles Armory, a spacious structure, has been placed at their dis posal, and is being used as headquar ters. DEMOCRACY IS DEFINED Tammany Adopts Resolutions Cov ering Sentiments of Party. NEW YORK, July 16. District leaders and 2000 members of the general com mittee of Tammany Hall, met at the Wigwam tonight and adopted resolutions defining democracy as the application to political institutions a divine injunction to the first man, "In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread," and touching upon affairs political of local, state, and National Importance. The resolutions were presented for the executive committee by Congressman W. Bourke Cockran. The resolutions, which were adopted amid a tumult of applause, reaffirmed the definition of Democracy as declared by Tammany on March 19, 1906, and em bodied in the Democratic state platform of last year. They set forth that man Is entitled to. only what he produces, and the trusts are condemned in" that they have reaped where they have not sown. Concerning the tariff, it is declared that duties levied upon articles that can be produced hene cheaper than elsewhere are without Justification or defense. "This organization," the resolution con tinues, "views with profound distress and serious alarm an unmistakable decline of the courts in popular respect and confi dence, and we believe that if this decline be not arrested, the ruin of republican institution is inevitable." Methods of court procedure are sharply attacked, as making almost hopeless the advantagious conclusions of the suit of a poor litigant against a wealthy man or corporation. . Although not stated In the- resolution, it was subsequently intimated that the reference to the court delays was inspired by the slow headway made in the election contest case of William R. Hearst against Mayor McClellan. DEATH LIST GROWS Nine Numbered Among Victims of Georgia Disaster. TWO MORE LIKELY TO DIE Five Others in Serious Condition, but Hopes Are Entertained That Three of Them May Survive. Japan Extends Sympathy. BOSTON, July 16. The bodies of six of the victims of the explosion on board the battleship Georgia, today have been claimed by relatives, and sent home from the United States Naval Hospital, at Chelsea, and two more bodies will be sent tomorrow. The body of the ninth victim of the disaster. Seamen Edward F. Walsh of Lynn, who died this afternoon, still lies on a cot at the Naval Hospital, where his life went out. He recogni zed his mother today, held out one hand toward her, but could not speak. Of the other 12 brave lads who faced death in the turret of the battleship Georgia, and who now lie swathed in bandages on their white cots in the Naval Hospital, It is possible that two seamen, James P. Thomas, of Brooklyn. N. Y., and Louis O. Meese. of Cincinnati, may not survive the night. Five others are- in a serious condition, with strong hopes that three of them may recover. While the rest of the Injured are well on the way to full recovery, no word of complaint, of criticism, or of pain comes from the sufferers, but frequently from the burned and swollen lips is whispered a question as to how the "other fellows" are getting along. At the head of each cot in the Naval Hospital stands a bouquet of flowers sent today by Admiral Yamamoto, of the Japanese Navy, through his aide. Lieutenant - Commander Taniguchi. Beautiful wreaths bearing the colors of Japanese and the card of the Jap anese admiral, were also placed on the coffins of Lieutenant Goodrich and Midshipman Goldthwalte, when their bodies were sent home today, and bou quets similarly Inscribed accompanied the body of each seaman. The body of Lieutenant Casper Good rich was sent to Stone Church, N. J., Rear Admiral and Mrs. Casper Goodrich accompanying it, and the funeral will be held Thursday. The body of Midshipman Faulkner Goldthwalte was sent to HopklnsviUe. Ky.. In care of his mother, Mrs. William C. Goldthwalte. Chief Turret Captain William J. Thatcher was sent to. his mother, Mrs. Louisa Thatcher, Wilmington. Del. Lieutenant Colonel Frederick M. Hodg son, U. S. A., and Mrs. Hodgson, uncle and aunt of Midshipman John T. Cruse, came today from -Philadelphia, while Major Charles Cruse, -father of the in jured midshlpmn, is on his way here from Omaha, and is expected to arrive tomorrow noon. The condition of Cruse, while serious. Is yet hopeful. Frank Schlapp, boatswain's mate, of North Adams, Mass., probably will re cover. Schlapp has once before been a victim of an explosion while in the serv ice, being one of three who were Injured In the explosion in the six-inch turret of the Kearsarge on April 13, 1906. Seaman James P. Thomas, who. enlisted at New York, is in a most critical con dition, and his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Thomas, are constant ly near his cot. Louis G. Meese, ordinary seaman, who enlisted at Cincinnati; John A. Bush, ordinary seaman, who enlisted at New York; Harold L. Gilbert, of Southwick, Mass.; Orley Taglund, chief yeoman, who enlisted at Charleston, S. C, and whose father resides in Rushford, Minn.; John L. Malek. ordinary seaman, of Cleveland, O.; and John Fone, ordi nary seaman, of Trenton, N. J., are In a critical condition, with some hope, bow ever, of the recovery of the last three. Samuel L. Rosenberger, ordinary sea man, of Philadelphia; Charles Elch, or dinary seaman, and Charles Hansell, gunner's mate, of New York, are all on the roq,d to recovery. NOT DUE TO CARELESSNESS Tragedy On Battleship Georgia Ascribed to Falling Soot. WASHINGTON, July 16. It is said at the Navy Department that it is ex tremely improbable that the accident aboard the battleship Georgia resulted from any carelessness on the part of the personnel of the ship. A short time ago a thorough inspection was made of every detail of the Georgia's ordnance by Commander Schofleld, one of the most expert of the ordnance officers of the Navy. This inspection Included every one of the guns, he details of the turret mechanism, the workings of the ammunition hoists, (which in the case of the superimposed turrets' of the Georgia are rather more compli cated than in the ordinary type) and, finally and most important, the hand ling of the . guns and mechanism and ammunition by the sailors. It was stated that the ship's crew was exact in all respects, and was fol lowing firing regulations in every es sential detail. In the absence of any other plausible explanation, the officials here are dis posed to give consideration to the theory advanced by some of the Georgia's officers, when they came ashore at Boston, that the powder charge of the eight-inch gun was fired accidentally by a clot of soot, which came floating down smouldering from the ship's smoke-pipe and settled by chance into the open scuttle on top of the turret, alighting directly on the 60-pound bag of smokeless powder in the arms of the loader at the breech of the gun. It is pointed out that the bag Inclos ing the powder is made of thin stuff, which is rather inflammable. In fact, it is necessary that it should be soft in order to be entirely consumed in the bore of the gun after the charge is expioaea, otnerwise nits or burning cloth might accidentally explode the next charge of powder Introduced before the breech of the gun could be closed. Such accidents have occurred in the past, so the bags are purposely made thin and inflammable. In case of ammunition used in battle, the bagging is frequently made of silk, with a view to securing still greater strength and perfect com bustion' of the envelope after firing. It is proposed to carry the principle still further, and the Ordnance Bureau is- experimenting with a method of Impreg nating the cloth with collodion, to make it at once waterproof and highly inflam mable. In answer to an Inquiry as to whether it Is customary to have the scuttle on top of the turret open while target prac tice is going on, it was said at the de partment that this was almost a neces sity, owing to the high temperature of the turret while the guns are consuming rapidly great quantities of smokeless powder, with its enormous beat-generating power. The opening also affords an easy means of communication for orders.

It Is said to be a curious illustration of the Irony of fate that the men apparently perished In the Georgia's turret through the very means adopted by them to se cure their safety. When asked what additional precaution could be suggested as the result of this last accident, the officials of the depart ment confessed themselves at a loss at present; they stated that there Is noth ing to do but await the findings of the board of examination, which has con vened, and with the data then at hand, to endeavor to frame some change In methods that will eliminate this last source of danger. The following telegram from President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay, regarding the accident on the battleship Georgia, was received at the Navy Department this afternoon: ' - "I am Inexpressibly shocked and grieved at the dreadful accident on the Georgia, and at the death of the gallant officers and men. I wish full particulars at the earliest possible date. Let me know the. condition of the 'wounded men. Repeat this to the captain of the Geor gia."

Knights of the Maccabees of the World, opened here today. One of the most Important matters that- will be con sidered, is a proposition which has been made that various Maccabees lodges be consolidated Into one great body, In cluding" the two organizations of the Ladies of the Maccabees. Supreme Commander Markey in his report, recommended addition of a new ritual with three degrees, that the total and permanent disability feature be re-established, that a fund be created for the establishment of a home for the aged and orphans. Mr. Markey said that since the addition of the "step" rate plan at the last review, and the beginning of large reserved funds, the membership lias come to generally understand that this was a necessary and wise action, and that general harmony now prevailed. Tollce Catch Fugitive. Detectives Mallett and Hill, while engaged In searching for Tom Hodges, a man wanted In Seattle on a charge of assault with Intent to kill, came upon their man engaged In a fight with an other man at the corner of First and Madison streets at 11 o'clock last night. The officers arrested Hodges and an other man named P. Webster, who was Intoxicated, and lodged them both In .the City Jail. They returned to the scene of the fight and located Hodges' belligerent opponent, who gave his name as Ed Donegan, who was also locked up. Donegan had received such a mauling that he required the atten tion of City Physician Zelgler, who dressed his wounds previous to his being locked up for the night.

FOUR PRETENDERS APPEAR Discovery of Sending of Delegation to Hague Causes Terror In Seoul Japan May Put New Ruler on the Throne. SEOUL, via Tokio, July 16. The crisis in Corean affairs and the conse quent panic. In court circles was heightened Saturday when the Em peror Jearned that Viscount HayashI, Foreign Minister of Japan, was coming to Seoul to untangle the knot caused by the sending of a deputation to The Hague to protest against Japan's atti tude toward Corea, This latest intrigue, following a year's hostile observation of the work of Marquis Ito, the Japanese resident general, has weakened the Corean throne more than anything that has occurred since the murder of the Queen. The silence of Marquis Ito pending the action of the Toklo Gov ernment has demoralized and panicked the Court and Cabinet. The latter for three days thought that the Emperor would send a representative to Tokio for the purpose of denying the Em peror's responsibility for sending a delegation to The Hague, but on July 9 the Emperor stopped all communica tions to him and retired to a secluded country place, where .he remains un aware of the nation's predicament. Besides Prince Plk Tun Ho, for whom Marquis Ito Interceded and who was brought back to Corea from exile, Prince TI Chung Tong, another exile, who has been waiting at Fusan since last Saturday, Is a pretender to the throne, which has now four candidates. In addition to all this, the throne Is thought by some to be threatened by the Influence of foreign precedents, by which offending sovereigns under protectorates are removed, In view of the Emperor's continued resistance to Japanese pressure. Indicated by his confident support of The Hague depu tation question. The succession to the'Corean throne Is described here as a hidden bomb.
