THE MOKNIMi UttfiUUMAN, AVKDNESUAr. S1S"TIS.MBER ' '11, 1907. 3 CONSPIRACY AGAIN SHOWS ITS HEAD Interests Renew Effort to Poi son Public Mind Against ftoosevelt. EXPOSE CAMPAIGN GIFTS Kerlve Old Stories to Create Belief President Is Allied With Bitter, est Knemies of His Policy and Also of the People. S 'WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept. 10. (Spe cial). Is the "rich men s conspiracy, which President Roosevelt declared last Spring was forming to prevent the nom ination or a man of his type for tne Presidency next year, Retting busy? This query has been aroused by the ex ploitation within the last few days of stories purporting to give Inside facts re lative to a big fund collected under the direction of B. H. Harriman just prior to the election in 1904 and turned over to National Chairman .Cortelyou and State Chairman Odell for use in. New fork. Poisonlng Minds of People. It Is .believed here that Oyster Bay. which thus far has treated in silence the revived stories of corporation parti cipation in the 1904 campaign, sees in them unmistakable Indications that the financial, interests most bitterly, arrayed against the present administration are endeavoring to poison the public mind so as to arouse sentiment in favor of a '.successor to President Koosevelt, who will be more in harmony with the "In terests" ' than any one recognized as having the Roosevelt backing. It is sig nificant that the alleged exposure of the 5266,000 Harriman fund dame from news paper sources that have been partially nergetlc recently in assailing the Presi dent. There is a belief that the In formation on which the alleged, ex posures are based was supplied by some big financiers whose motive can scarce ly be questioned. ' Create Show of Alliance. As a matter of fact. It never has been denied that many captains of industry contributed to the campaign of "1904. Contributions, however, were made to both sides. Several months ago It was explained in a manner which seemed to satisfy the friends of the administration that Mr. Harrlman's special activity in that campaign was due to plans he had made to shunt Chauncey M. Depew off . to Paris as American ambassador and with Mr. Odell's help capture Mr. De pew's seat In the Senate. Now, however, the old stories have been put out wltn added detail, the only purpose being, ac cording to administration observation, to ' make it appear that an alliance exists be tween the President and the very men who are most anxious to have Roose yeltism crushed. ' Administration leaders are not in the least perturbed over the revival of then old stories, being confident Xbat they, will j eventually prove boomerangs and result In strengthening the candidacy of a thoroughly recognized progressive leader Tor the Presidential nomination. ' CHOICE REDUCED TO THREE Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes Against the Interests. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. (Special.) On the eve of Secretary of War Taft's de parture for the Philippines, National poli tical leaders are taking account of stock ' and invoicing the Presidential situation as it has developed up to the present time. The situation today gives prominence to three men: President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft and Governor Hughes of New York. Other persons whose names have been entered in the Republican Presidential nomination race appear at this stage as nothing more than probable "also rans." Senator Scott, of West Virginia has add ed the latest chapter to the third-term talk, declaring that the country Is Roose velt crazy and that the President will be forced to accept anothes nomination. From various parts of the country pres sure is being exerted In many ways to compel the President to reconsider his determination not to run again. Some of it is sincere and some of it is inspired by . the efforts of state leaders to hold onto their organizations and maintain .their in dividual official status. Taft Is Roosevelt's Heir. Mr. Taft's friends are more than pleased with the progress of the Secretary's cam paign and entertain no fears that third term talk will accomplish its variegated purposes. They believe the President will . adhere to his original position and that Mr. Roosevelt's strength will be Mr. Taft's strength In the end. The situation in Ohio has been smoothed out and the effect has been marked upon the rest of the country, es pecially the portions visited by the Sec retary of War in his trip across the con tinent. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, who is now In Washington, declares that his state is unequivocally a Taft state, and the conditions he depicts are believed to apply to a great part of the West. Interests Try to Use Hughes. Mr. Hughes is looming up more an more in the East. The West, it is re ported here, regards him as a stranger to a large degree and it Is conceded that the principal battleground, where the Administration forces will have to meet the Hughes movement, will be in New York and New England. It is believ;l that the financial interests in the East, as heretofore indicated, will seek to use Mr. Hughes to down Mr. Roosevelt or any man that Mr. Roosevelt Is believed to favor, he being thp most available person In sight for any such purpose. IOWA LEAXS TOWARD HUGHES Agitation of Rates and Public Util ities Causes Interest in Him. DES MOINES.! Sept. 10. (Special.) Iowa Republicans are awaiting with much interest the visit to a South Da kota Baptist convention this month of Governor Hughes, of New York, and many are hoping that he may visit Des Moines before he returns East. That much sentiment for Hughes for President exists in Iowa is beyond question, and this Is strongest among those who believe a New Yorker should head the ticket The fact thnt some Eastern newspapers have been proposing a Hughes and Cummins ticket has nothing to do with the mat ter, for Cummins is not available as a Vice-Presidential candidate, he having set his ambition on the succession to Senator Allison, who will be 80 years old before his sixth term expires in 1909. try Taft's boom in Iowa was put in charge of Lafayette Toung, of the Iowa Capital, who for years has led the stand-pat-hlgh-tarlff fight against Governor Cummins. Some of his associates have criticized bitterly Mr. Taft's declarations at Columbus, Ohio, for tariff revision. Out-and-out politicians also were made sore be cause when Mr. Taft was here in June, he declined to talk anything except ethical platitudes. Vice-President Fairbanks never ap pealed to the dominant factors in Re publican politics in Iowa, because of his alignments. It is thought that at no time will Iowa be for him nor for Cannon, Shaw nor any other man of that type in the next National Con vention. Secretary Root has warm admirers in Iowa, but his retirement from the cabinet at one time to become attorney for corporations has made him im possible in the eyes of the Iowa Re' publlcans. The insurance investigation and dis closures in New York were watched closely by Iowa people, most of whom carry Insurance. Des Moines is known as the Hartford of the West. It has 60 insurance companies of its own. When Iowa was passing a 2-cent railroad fare bill and a score of other drastic railroad measures. Its attention was directed to the strong message of Governor Hughes vetoing a 2-cent fare bill in New York. At the same time Iowans were studying the public utili ties bill which Hughes put through the New York Legislature In the public utilities contest Iowans had peculiar interest because their own Legislature had been wrought up over the fight to secure the law under which Des Moines re cently adopted the Galveston or com mission system of municipal govern ment and . which will completely revolutionize the municipal govern ment of the cities of this state, and because Theodore J. Shonts, head of the company in which are merged the rapid transit concerns of Greater New York, is an Iowa man and is president of the trustees of Drake University, an institution of the Christian Church. Primarily, of course, Iowa is for Roosevelt; next to him, for a man of his type. Its National delegates will be selected as progressive Republicans and will not support a reactionary pro gramme in the National Convention. BECKER MAY ENTER FIGHT Possible Rival for Wisconsin Repub lican Nomination for Governor. . MILWAUKEE, Sept. 10. (Special.) Many Republican conferences, most of them open, but a goodly percentage secret, will be held during the state fair this week, and matters of vital impor tance for next year may be decided. Harmony for 1908 will be the word that will guide every conference and conclu sion. The problem of the state delegation to the next Republican National convention will receive the most attention. Plans will be well laid to insure the election of men favorable to Senator La Follette in every . district. He is. assured the dele gation at large, though its makeup will depend much on the decisions next week. Anotbjer matter that probably will be put in shape is the Gubernatorial candi dacy. From all the surface Indications Governor Davidson' will be selected for another term, though this will meet with vigorous opposition from several quar ters. The latter, however, has slim chances for success. Mayor. Becker has made no public an- nouhdement of his Gubernatorial candi dacy, but It generally Is understood among those closest to him that this may be made at any time. His warm recep tions during his trips about the state ha-ve convinced him that, if he enters the state race,- he will have at-least a good chance of securing the nomlantion. If he shall become a regular candidate there will be plenty doing from the time he says so until the primaries. "Whatever the result, he will give his opponents a good run for their money. He will be heavily hampered by the popularity of the present Governor. Should there be only two candidate in the field. Davidson will be played as favorite at big odds. The talk of Congressman Esch as a pos sible candidate for Governor continues, though not a word has been heard from him. He unquestionably would have great strength among the German Repub licans, with whom he is very popular. Those on the Inside Intimate, however, that the more he studies the situation the more he will find it advisable to ac cept another Congressional nomination. of which he is certain, rather than enter a fight where the result would be, to say the- least, problematical. The Senatorial situation will be the subject of much discussion next week. While It is stated that Lieutenant-Governor W. D. Connor wjll not be In the field, but will accept renominatlon, this does not simplify matters. W. H. Hat ten, of Waupaca, continues the only avowed candidate, but there have been Intimations that S. A. Cook, of Neenah, who was a rival of Judge Quarles when he wall elected Senator, and who headed the stalwart state ticket put up by the opera-house convention in 1904, will be in the fight. With the exception noted, he has kept clear of entangling alliances. He Is a hard campaigner and has money a necessity in primary elections. Ex Speaker I. L Lenroot may enter the race as the candidate of the radical La Fol lette men. v Here and there is heard talk that Mr. Stephenson will be a candidate for re election In spite of his declaration last Spring. There. however, has not been heard a suspicion of an Intimation from him that he has changed his mind since Spring, and until he shall do so it is held that it will be unfair not to con sider his pledge binding. VETERAN WOMAN ON RANGE Mrs. Newell Injured While Riding on Sixty-eighth Birthday. SPRING HILL. Wyo.. Sept. 10. (Spe cial.) The ' accident which . befell Mrs. Harrison Newell a few days' ago has at tracted attention to her as probably the oldest horsewoman in the state who is regularly in the saddle. Throughout Wyoming there are many women who came West many years ago and who. in order to help their husbands or brothers to get a start, did much work in riding the range, branding cattle and similar work. Most have prospered so that their riding days are but a memory, but Mrs. Newell still steadily rides tWe range, although 68 years of age. A few days ago. on her sixty-eighth birthday, her horse threw her and she was painfully Injured. BUILD IT FURTHER WEST Moffatt Road Arranges Extension Through Utah to Nevada. DENVER, Col., Sept 10.

It is given out that eventually this line may be ex tended to Los Angeles or San Francisco, via GoldHeld or Tonopah, Nevada. OPENSNEWCHUROH Rabbi Wise Begins Work in Free Synagogue. STRIKES OUT BOLD LINES Has Free Pulpit, Where AH Prob lems Are Frankly and Fearlessly Discussed Backed by New York's Richest People. NETW YORK. Sept. 10. (Special). After six months of preparation the Free Syn agogue organized by Dr. Stephen S. Wise, formerly of Portland, opened in its own place of worship on Sunday, when the Jewish holidays began. The building formerly occupied by the Church of the Eternal Hope (Unlversalist) in Eighty-first street between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues, has been se cured by the new congregation, which starts out with every prospect of sucr cess. Among the leading supporters of Dr. "Wise are Jacob H. Schiff, Isfeac N. Selig man, Adolph Lewisohn, Henry Morgen thau and J. B. Greenhut, whose names are the. strongest possible guarantee of financial responsibility. Although the. church has a seating cap acity of between 800 and 900. the indi cations are that it will speedily outgrow its present quarters, and a new home In a more central locality is looked upon as a certainty within a year. The Free Synagogue also maintains a downtown branch In Clinton Hall, where services will be held every Friday even ing. Dr. Wise's Bold Plans. Tn outlining his plans to the represent ative of the Oregonian today. Dr. Wise said: "It is our aim to create a model syna gogue, a type of what the synagogue or church should be in the life of every com munity. Our pulpit Is free, It Is our Intention to deal fearlessly and frankly with such moral, social, industrial and civic problems as ought to be considered In a place consecrated to the cause " of rlghteosuness in the world. "Unless the church stands mightily and res I st 1 ess ly for the moral uplift of all human relations. It must slowly commit suicide by accepting what is as right. 'There will be no pews or dues in the Free Synagogue we will count on volun tary offerings for support, which is what a church should do. "We have planned for the Winter a series of lecture courses and classroom lectures. One of the evening courses will deal with 'The Religions of the East.' and some of the- foremost university teachers are to participate in it. Among those whose names ,1 can now give out are Prof. Richard Gottheil, of Columbia; Prof. A. V. W. Jackson, of Columbia: G. W. Knox, of Union Seminary and Prof. Jastrow of the University of Pennsyl vania. "It will be our aim to move our mem bers to social service resting upon the work of social justice. ' I have arranged with a number of distinguished men and women to de liver a series of Sunday-night ad dresses on social problems. Among: the topics to be discussed are "The State and the Wrongdoer," "Statesman ship in Philanthropy," "The Education of the People," "International Justice," 'Boy Saving," "Industrial Peace," and "The Outreachlng Church." There is also to be given a series of lectures on The Conflict of Judea with the Faith of the World." Dr. Wise added that the work out lined at Clinton Hall, in the heart of the East Side Ghetto, is no lees am bitious. A religious school is to be organized, while everyday problems will be discussed by prominent eco nomic 'and social workers. Has . Made Great Impression.

The victim wai literally riddled with bullets. Nine shots were fired into his body, any one of which would have caused death. The killing occurred in the presence of one of the most prominent young women of the town, who was Mllsap's companion when Steele assailed him with a demand to return the money Milsap won at cards. Steele was game to the last and, as he lay gasping for breath, drew a revolver and shot Mil sap in the leg.

Finds Criminal In House and Shoots at Him He Takes Pistol and Kills Her. NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 10. Mrs. Mary Lawless Rorschach, wife of Lieutenant Frank Rorschach, U. S. N., and sister of Joseph T. Lawless, former secretary of the commonwealth of Virginia, was murdered in her home. No. 832 Park ave nue. Parkview, Portsmouth, by an un known burglar early today. She was shot through the heart with her own pistol, taken from her hand by the burglar, after she had fired twice upon him through an open door, leading into the kitchen, where he was cornered. Whether the murderer was a negro or white man is unknown. He escaped, dropping the pistol as he fled from the house. Blood hounds brought from Portsmouth secured a scent but soon lost .it. Mrs. Rorschach's husband Is on the cruiser - Tennessee, with Admiral Evans' fleet off Provincetown, Mass. The shots awakened the oldest boy Frank. Jr., and the mother cried to the .boy upstairs: "Frank, somebody has taken my pistol and shot me. Go quickly for help." The boy rushed for help but when he returned with neighbors, his mother was dead. The Rorschach's home is imme diately in the rear of the Naval Hospital woods,, in Portsmouth and near a lumber mill to which negroes frequently pass. A newsboy who lives near the home, saw a negro shortly after the tragedy, run ning rapidly by his 'home towards the small footbridge where the bloodhojnds went when they caught the scent. While Mrs. Rorschach had a lamp in FIFTY - SEVEN YEARS IN BUSlNESS-EstabHshed 1850 Medium-Priced blue or and $2.50 to L It 3c her hand, the burglar was in the kitchen in the dark. She evidently heard the man and fired in his direction. Both bullets tired by the woman were found in the wall of the kitchen. Mrs. Rorschach, with her money tied in a roll and hanging around her neck, had run down the back steps. She was lying with her head on the second step. The pistol had been fired close to her left breast. Three chambers were empty. Of these, two were fired by Mrs. Rorschach and one by the burglar. Her money and Jewelry were untouched. Mrs. Rorschach was a handsome woman about 3$ years old, and one of the most accomplished musicians in Virginia. Lieutenant Ror schach was formerly of Kansas, but was appointed to the Navy from Virginia. Thomas Archer, a mulatto, was ar rested in bed at his home in Ports mouth as a suspect. He was seen to enter his house 45 mintues after the murder. His hat bore spots that looked like blood stains. Kaiser to Do Honor to Taft. BERLIN, Sept. 10.
