NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY JUL DELIVERY AT J0L1ET TODAY Supreme Court Decision Turns Loose 100 Chicago Criminals. ON LEGAL TECHNICALITY But State's Attorney Steps In to Prevent Outbreak of Crime and Will Hold Jailbirds for a. New Trial. CHICAGO. III.. Nov. 1. (Special.) The doors ,of the Jollet Penitentiary swing open tomorrow and the first batch of nearly 100 murderers, highwaymen, burg; larg and other criminals will be turned loose ae a result of a recent decision of the Supreme Court, which held that the Municipal Courts of Chicago could not le gally try cajfs In which the indictments were returned by a Cook County grand jury. The situation is one of the most serious that ever confronted Chicago. If the de cision of the highest court is to stand, it means that on the eve of Winter footpads, murderers, and criminals of all classes are to bo turned loose on the streets of the city.' State's Attorney John J. Healy, however, has decided to take drastic steps to pre vent the wholesale liberation of criminals. He construes the decision to mean that the Supreme Court never Intended that convicted criminals should be given lib erty, but that each and every man must stand trial again this time In the Crim inal Court. SETTLE DOWN TO NORMAL (Continued From rate 1.) of $79,100,000, which compares with $78.00u,D3ft In September and $133,550, 000 in October last year. The grand total of all companies Incorporated in October with a capitalization of $100, 000 and over, including other states than those of the East, was $132,425, 000, a'gainst $113,660,000 in September and $375,376,000 In October a year ago. Conditions generally in October this year militated to a greater extent than in any previous month of 1907 against the promotion of new enterprises of any sort. It is not surprising, there fore, that the aggregate incorporation should fall so largely below that of last year. Coinage In September. WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.

P IN CHICAGO HOTEL FIKE CAUSES GUESTS TO JUMP FROM WINDOWS. Three Hundred People, Scantily Clad, Driven in Early Morn- STATES DIVIDED .ON THIRD TERM Conflicting Reports as to Pub lic Sentiment for Re-election of Roosevelt. VERDICT STILL IN DOUBT No . Unanimous Expression From South or West, While In New England Support of Governor Hughes Is Growing Steadily. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 1. In spite of the claims of the Roosevelt third-term boomers, there appears to be a wide diversity of opinion as to the trend of sentiment In the Re publican party in various parts of the country. Reports do not coincide, and it is difficult to get an accurate line on the true situation. The arrival of Senators and Representatives in Washington does not clear the atmosphere, on the con trary, opinions of these men differ. A month or more ago Senator Scott, of West Virginia, who is anything but an admirer of President Roosevelt, de clared that the Republicans of his state I were unanimously demanding the renom lnation of the President. Yet Represen tative Gaines, of that state, mentioned as probable successor to Senator Elkins, comes to Washington with the "report that West Virginians entertain a very distinct prejudice against the third term Idea, and moreover, have such a regard for the President as to be willing to re spect his wishes. The President having declared he Is not a candidate and that he would not accept another nomination, the West Virginia Republicans, accord ing to Gaines, are not thinking about the possibility of renominating Roosevelt, but are trying to satisfy themselves as to which of the other candidates Is best equipped to continue the reforms Inaug urated during the Roosevelt administra tion. Gaines says that the West Virginia Republicans do not consider that the President's re-election is essential to carrying out reforms which have proven, and will prove, for the welfare of the country. Wyoming Senators Differ. Jumping out to the West, there is a like difference of opinion as to sentiment in Wyoming. Senator Warren, when, in Washington a month ago, declared that more than 60 per cent of the voters of his state, irrespective of party, were in favor of renominating Roosevelt. Sen ator Clark, of the same state, who came to Washington at a later late, said that he had not observed the slightest demand for Roosevelt's renomination, and had not seen any Indication whatsoever that Wyoming Republicans, to say nothing of the Democrats, were anxious that Roose velt should serve y third term. His ob servation had satisfied him that Wyom ing, when . the time came, would sup port some other candlate for the nomina tion. Both Senators from Montana fin strong sentiment in favor of Roosevelt's renom ination; so to the two Senators from North Dakota, but Iowa, that is no ln consierable factor In a National conven tion, apparently does not share the Mon tana and North Dakota idea. Former Representative Lacey. of that state, long chairman of the House Committee on Public Lands, and a man with no ax to grind, says that Iowa Republicans look with extreme favor upon Governor Hughes, of New York, and while they j would be pleased should Roosevelt be nominated, they are giving serious atten tion to Hughes and to Taft, though the former appears to be growing more pop ular in Iowa - Republican circles than is the esteemed Secretary of War. New England Is deeply engrossed in local campaigns this Fall, and is giving little consideration to National politics, but reports from that section show that notwithstanding the popularity of the President, the Republicans gener ally are inclined to take him at his word. In New England, as In Iowa, Governor Hughes Is growing stronger every day, though New England senti ment has by no means crystallized in his favor. There are some New Eng land politicians who believe that sec tion will get on the Roosevelt band wagon, but these men appear to be In the minority. Oregon Delegation Divided. As Senators and Congressmen drift into Washington more and more Willi be heard about the popularity of vari ous candidates, and further conflict ing reports are to be expected The two Senators from Oregon hold differ ent views of the Presidential situa tion. Senator Bourne being a most en thusiastic Roosevelt man, while his colleague has declared for Taft. Sena tor Heyburn, of Idaho, takes the Presi dent at his word, and displays no in terest in the third-term movement; his colleague recently declared his belief that Roosevelt or Taft would be nomi nated. Evidently these men view the situation in their states differently, and the very fact that they disagree is evidence that there is no unanimity of sentiment In either Oregon or Idaho. If the people of Oregon were unani mously in favor of the renomination of President Roosevelt, as Is claimed by some, it is quite natural to suppose that Senator Fulton, who is no novice in politics, would appreciate this fact and not take a position adverse to a well-deflned public sentiment, especial ly as he is soon to come up for re-election. Exactly the same situation exists in Idaho, where Senator Heyburn will soon go before the people and ask for another term. Neither Senator would Ignore the Roosevelt movement If it were as strong as claimed . by itS friends. And it Is more than probable that the next few weeks will show that other Senators, from other states. East and West, will entertain as con flicting views as those held by the men from Oregon and Idaho. The fact is apparent that there is no crystalliza tion of sentiment at the present time; the race is yet to be run; the winner is still to be picked. NINETY-FIVE MORE RETURN Operators Applying for Work at the Rate of 100 a Day.

The postcard was written from San Francisco and simp'ly said that the writer was well and prosperous. Mr. Nonnast said tner had been no rea son for Harry's leaving home two years ago, and said that it was probably an at tack of "wander lust." The card did not state whether the writer intended to re turn home. The father had offered $400 reward for a trace of the boy. SPOILS ARE IN DANGER Standpatters Aim to Kill German Tariff' Agreement.

CAXXOT SHAKE THE NATION Senator AVarrcn Says Panic Shows Trust Companies Need Control. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Senator Francis Warren, of Wyoming, who has Just re turned from a vacation trip abroad," was -greatly Interested In the recent financial disturbance and asked many questions about it when he landed. He said he be lieved there was no occasion for alarm as the troubles were merely caused by the swinging back of the pendulum. "These panics cannot hurt the country," said Mr. Warren, "I hare noticed that the country after each financial depres sion is much stronger than it was before. We see how really strong the Nation is when these panics come. The funda mental Industries of the Nation are never shaken by these conditions. I am not advocating any Idea to take powers or rights away from states, but I do think that something stronger than state con trol is necessary to govern the trust com panies. "These companies should have at least 25 per cent in reserve but we find when the upheaval comes that some of them have only 5 per cent. The power and ef ficiency of Federal supervision over finan cial companies Is manifest In tho-1 condi tion of the National banks in the- present panic."

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 1. The service pension law, passed February 6, 1907, is prov ing means of support to thousands of old soldiers who have been unable heretofore to draw any pension at all under the old laws or who have been allowed merely a nominal sum because of Insignificant disabilities. Between February 6 and June 30, 1907, the close of the fiscal year, 350,000 applications were filed undr this new law and over 120,000 of these claims have been ap proved and pensions paid. The great flood of applications caused a conges tion in the pension office and the force of clerks was wholly Incapable of handling the business as fast as it was presented, but the Commissioner of Pensions expresses belief that before the end of the next fiscal year all serv ice pensions cases will be brought up as soon as they v are presented and can be disposed ofat once. More than 2000 of the claims allowed under the new law were presented by survivors of the Mexican War and all but 17 of the Mexican claims were paid at the maximum rate of $30 a month, as nearly all the claimants were over 75 years of age. The oldest pensioner now on the roll is a survivor of the Civil War, who is 108 years of age. There are five pensioners 98 years old, one who is 97, five who are 98 and nearly 100 others ranging in age from 90 to 96. The high-water mark In the pension office was reached in 1902 when there were 999,446 pensioners on the roll. Although this is the maximum record in number of pensioners. the total amount nnM In nensinnR thnt venr -or a a I about $20,000,000 less than was paid out in the record year of 1893 when the cost of the pension roll was $156,906, 637. The total amount of pensions paid In 1902 was nearly $137,504,267. Since 1902 the number of pensioners have fallen off gradually because of the high rate of mortality among the Civil War veterans. In 1907 there were but 967,371 pensioners on the roll; the aggregate pensions amounted to $188,155,412. - The adjustment of claims under the service pension act may bring the to tal number of claims next year higher than the record of 1902. A great deal depends upon the rate at which these claims are presented In the next eight months. Another Interesting feature of the report of the Commissioner of Pen slons is the tabulated statement of tb,e amounts paid out by the Federal Gov ernment on account of various wars in which the country has been engaged.
