N 16 THE 3I0RXING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVE3IBER 16, 1907. DOES NOT OPPOSE Senator Heyburn in Sympathy With Roosevelt. FREE TO CHANGE HIS MIND His Privilege to Heroine Candidate for Kenoniinatlon if He Thinks Conditions Demand Indorses Polieies of Hie President. OREXJONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Nov. 15. The attitude of Senator Heyburn with regard to President Roose velt ha been misrepresented In cerlaln papers throughout the West since the pub lication of his views In these dispatches a short time ago. To correct the errone ous Impression the Senator lias given out an authorized interview In which ho makes plain his position. Senator Heyburn was asked tlds direct question: "Is it .true, as reported, that you would oppose the renomination of President Roosevelt if he were a candidate?" The Senator's answer was as follows: "I would not. If he were a candidate for renomination I would most cheer fully and heartily support him for nomi nation and election. I estimate men by their averages, in their performance of duty, and I think President Roosevelt has made a very high average In patriot ism, wisdom and efficiency In the per formance of his duty. Free to Change His .Mind. "Whatever I have said at any time or place In regard to the use of President Roosevelt's name as a candidate has been based upon his declaration that he would not be a cundldate. Until he makes some declaration to the contrary, I do not think that without discrediting him we could Consider him a candidate. I recognize the Sact that he Is at liberty, should he con sider the circumstances warrant him in doing so, to change his views in regard to being a candidate, and thus leave the party free to nominate him for another term. "1 have no doubt that any of the men who are being spoken of as nominees for the Presidency will enforce the law of the land, and the frequent statements that are being made that It Is necessary that certain candidate shall be nominated in order to carry out what is termed the 'policy of President Roosevelt means no more than that they will continue to en force the law of the land. I believe any of those who are mentioned as candidates would enforce the law as vigorously as It Is now being enforced. In Sympathy with President. "The policy of the Government rests, under the Constitution, entirely with Congress, and is found only In the laws enacted by Congress within the Con stitutional limitations. The duty and powers of the Executive branch of the Government are clearly defined by the Constitution and the law, and the man ner of the enforcement and administra tion of the law is also clearly defined by law. The Executive can neither add to nor subtract from the law without violation of duty. We should honor the Executive for an efflclent.and vigi lant execution of the law, but w-e have a right to expect nothing less." Senator Heyburn was then asked: "What have you to say about the re peated charges that you are antagonis tic to the administration of President Roosevelt?" The Senator replied: "Only this: Such charges have been made only through ignorance of fact or through desire to create an antagonistic Impres sion against myself. I am thoroughly In sympathy with the President's en forcement of the laws of the land, and his efforts to punish those who violate them. I am not in harmony with his views. and action in regardtto the crea tion of forest reserves, but Congress has relieved him of that responsibility. The future responsibility of the forest reserve policy rests with Congress." Decries Gambling in Stocks. Asked for his views on the financial situation. Senator Heyburn said: "Action that will bring about condi tions where stocks and bonds will rep resent real values in property will make existing conditions impossible. Real values of property have not been affected by the fact that stock quota tions have fallen. Betting on the quo tations of securities of legitimate pur chase or sale of securities representing real values hut are simply gambling agencies. Real values are represented by the capacity of investments to real ize fair profits on the sum Invested and the preservation of the Investment. The remedy for existing evils can be found In the enactment of the measure I have twice introduced in the Senate providing for Governmental supervision and control of the relation between the real value of Interstate corporations' property and the fare value of stocks bonds and obligations of such corpora tions. The existing conditions are a natural result of unrestrained issue of securities and the Inflation of prices regardless of real values, which tempts gambling In securities In which there should be no gambling. 1 see no neces sity for either an extra session of Con gress or any present change of cur rency laws." CITY RICHER BY $1056 Long-Forcotten Deposit Found In Suspended Bunk. The City of Portland has become so wealthy that a little matter of J1056 escapes attention. Yesterday City Auditor Barbur reported to the Executive Board that he had discovered that this amount is on' deposit in the suspended Merchants National Bank to the credit of the city as a special deposit, being the balance on hand of the Morrison-street bridge con struction fund. Mayor Lane remarked that he did not know of the existence of this balance until the Auditor directed his attention to it. He had thought the ac count closed under a previous city ad ministration. The Auditor was instructed to report the deposit to the City Treasurer so that proper entries might be made on his books and the balance placed to the credit of the city. Salvation Army Rescue Home.. PORTLAND, Nov. 15. (To the Editor.) The officers of the Salvation Army ftescue Home, of Portland, desire to thank the many friends who have so kindly for the past 12 years helped them to help the outcast ones, many of them In their teens, often more sinned against than sinning. Our home for the unfortunate provides for them not only protection, shelter and care, but teaches them to help themselves as well. Housework and needlework ar taught in the home, and when the In mates leave, situations are found for them where they can earn an honest liv ing and care for their little ones as well. This, good work has been in progress here in Portland for the past 12 years, and for the last two years the Salvation Army Rescue Home has been located at 392 East Fifteenth street North. Two thousand dollars have been paid on the home, and there is yet $5000 to be paid. Since June, 1907. a great number of Portland friends have kindly contributed" donations in money, giving from $25 to 1 eafc-h, amounting to the total sum of $501), toward paying on our home. At this time of the year, when peace and good will abound, we feel we can ask every resident of Portland who has not already given to do all he or she can to help this worthy cause. Winter with its many needs is here, and the demands upon us are heavy. If 5000 friends of Portland will send us $1 each, we will, Soon have enough to pay for our home, which truly would be an appre ciated Thanksgiving and a Joyous Christ mas. As our rescue work is separate from other Salvation Army efforts, please do not confuse tlds article with any appeal which may be made for the poor of Port land. Adjutant Peterson's general assistant is Lieutenant M. Schanze. Captain H. Dilr boraw Is secretary. In sending your do nation, kindly make it payable to the un dersigned. ADJT. JOSIE PETERSON, Matron, 392 East Fifteenth street North. MRS. GLASS FAINTS AGAIN Breuks Down When Arraigned for Murder of Husband. Augusta Glass, accused of having murdered her husband. Abraham Glass, last Sunday afternoon, fainted when taken into the Municipal Court yester day forenoon for arraignment. After Glass' death from a pistol bullet in the back, the woman went Into hysterics and fainted when questioned by the police about the tragedy. At the hos pital, when questioned, she fainted again, and only meager details of the tragedy are obtainable from her. She adheres to the story that Glass com mitted suicide. Since the tragedy of Sunday Mrs. Glass has been at St. Vincent's Hos pital. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock a carriage was called and she was taken to the court for arraignment. Reaching the police station -she was shown the way to the anteroom of the court, where she sat In company with Dr. Mary Equl, who has been attending her since her nervous breakdown fol lowing Glass' death. A few minutes before her name was called in court the accused woman fell to the floor, seemingly in a faint, and an hour was required to revive her. It was then decided not to take her into court. Deputy District Attorney Haney and Judge Cameron stepping out of the courtroom and receiving her plea of not guilty. The woman was then assisted down stairs and driven to the County Jail, Chief Gritzmacher declining to furnish an officer to guard her at the hospital any longer. Mrs. Glass is a petite brunette of the Russian type. Her dress yesterday gave no Indication of the poverty in which the Glass family Is said to have lived after coming here from San Francisco two weeks ago. She wore an expensive sealskin sncquje and black dress and hsjf. It has been decided by the District Attorney's office to hold her for the murder of her husband. The man was shot from behind. There Is no evidence that anyone had been about the place other than Mrs. Glass, and It Is known that furious quarrels had been In progress for hours pre ceding the firing of the fatal shot. LABORERS ARE BUNCOED Swear Out Warrants for Arrest of Employment Agents. Crooked operations of local employ ment agents is a matter that has again been called to the attention of the authorities, four warrants of arrest be ing Issued yesterdaln consequence of complaints made by four loggers. These men were sent to Myrtle Creek, Or., In a remote section of Douglas County. They were told that the Myr tle Creek Lumber Company would hire them at a good salary. They paid the L. Christensen agency a round sum for booking them and expended $13.65 for tickcti to their destination. Arriving at Myrtle Creek they were advised that the lumber company was not in need of men, had not been In need of men and had never appealed to Christensen for men. Many victims would have sought employment else where in the region, but the quartet came back to Portland for an ac counting. Early In the week a Civil War vet eran. 70 years, old, returned from just such u wild goose chase on which he was sent by the Portland employment agency. This old man had to walk most of the way back from Gates City, Wash. Such, outrages are oausing con siderable Indignation and. it is urged that offenses of this sort should be put In the felony class. The agent, A. Lee Lewes, who buncoed the old veteran, got off without punishment. INNOCENT MAN ARRESTED Detectives Try to Convict After It Is Plain He Is Guiltless. Realizing that the carnival of petty crime now rampant In Portland de manded some sort of showing from the police department, two of Chief Gritz macher's star "detectives" tried to af fix guilt upon an entirely innocent man In the Municipal Court yesterday fore noon. They had arrested J. A. Shlnn, a thrifty salesman, the basis for the arrest being that the man once served in the penitentiary for implication in a fraud and since his release has been prosperous. That a man might profit by one misstep and turn his energies into profitable fields, never occurred to the sleuths. They had to arrest some one. Shlnn had been in the penitentiary, so they took him In. Not only that, but they persisted In trying to convict him after it had been made plain he was en tirely innocent. Anxiety to accredit at least one victory over the thieves to the stupid plain clothes aggregation now drawing salary from the city, led them to lose sight of the possible inno ence of their unfortunate victim. "The fact that a man has been In the penitentiary is not suffictent evidence to send him there again," said Judge Cameron. "There Is not any evidence to show this man has been engaged in other than wholly lawful pursuits. The case against him will be dismissed."

The necessity of mooring buoys in the harbor has been dwelt upon, but the city has failed to act and the need of them is now apparent. WHIiln the next week the harbor will be tilled to the limit and all available anchorage taken up. QUARANTINE OFFICER SLOW Captain Bridgett Complains or Be ing Held Up at Mouth of River. Captain George E. Bridgett, master of the steamship Asuncion, complains bit terly of the treatment received by the quarantine officer at Astoria.. The Asun cion was held up so long at the quaran tine station that she lost an entire day. Captain Bridgett says that vessels are kept waiting for several hours after en tering the quarantine grounds before the attending physician boards them. "I entered the quarantine grounds Thursday morning at 9 o'clock and It was not until 10:40 'that Dr. Holt boarded the ship. In the meantime the quarantine boat came down to look at the harbor and returned to the wharf. He lay at the dock fully three-quarters of an hour waiting for the doctor. During this de lay fog rolled in and It became so thick that I could not see a ship's length. On this account we were held up twenty four hours. Had Dr. Holt been prepared to board the vessel as soon as she reached the grounds we would have reached Port land at 5 o'clock the same evening in stead of a day later. "Dr. Holt explains his delay as being due to the poor reports forwarded him from North Head Station. I cannot see where tills is an excuse, as he has a steamer there for that purpose and has help enough to watch the quarantine sta tion during all the hours of daylight. Steamships have trouble enough with heavy weather and a breaking bar." TUG NAVIGATION IN HARBOR Modern Tosvboat Makes Her Initial Trip to This Port.

The Saginaw was going to San Francisco for her machinery. In a fog the tow line became fast in the Quinault's propeller, making necessary the casting adrift of the Saginaw.

Greene, of the police commlt tte of the Executive Board, seeks to have answered. At yesterday's session of the board a communication was received from the Civil Service Commission with reference to the discharge of H. E. Parker from the police force. Under the rules, the commission had been notified of Parker's discharge and a copy of the charges against him sent with the notification. The commission informed the board that it had investigated the charges and was not satisfied that they were of sufficient weight to justify the man's discharge. The commission recommended that Parker be reinstated, but that In view of certain features in the charges he forfeit a month's salary. At the conclusion of the reading of the commission's communication Mr. Greene Jumped to his feet, faced Mayor Lane, and fairly snapped out: "Your Honor, I move that the com munication be returned to the Civil Ser vice Commission with the request that It Inform this board by what authority It presumes to discipline the police depart ment of this city. If ttrat commission has the authority under the charter we shall be very glad to find it out, for it will re lieve us of much disagreeable duty." The motion was passed. $5.95 TAKES ONE.

The Investigations have been conducted with a view to obtaining a vaccine that will so strengthen the disease-resisting properties of the human blood that death from tuberculosis in any form shall bo oc casional. Instead of common. It is so much easier to prevent consump tion than to cure It, however, that no pre caution to guard against .the destroying germ should be neglected. It often hap pens that the disease has its start, in an apparently trivial cold couah that has been allowed to run unchecked. To break up a cold quickly there is nothing so effective as a mixture of eight ounces of whisky with two ounces of glycerine and a half ounce of the Virgin Oil of Pine. Shake well and use in tea spoon doses every four hours. It Is claimed this will cure any cough that Is Talk to Men ON Contagious Blood Poison By DR. TAYLOR, The Leading' Specialist On account of Its frightful hldeousness Syphilis or Contagious Blood Poison Is com monly called the king of all venereal dis eases. It may be either hereditary or con tracted. Once the system is tainted with It. the disease may manifest Itself In the form of scrofula, eczema, rheumatic pains, stiff or Bwollen joints, eruptions or copper-colored spots on face or body, little ulcers in the mouth or on the tongue, sore throat, swollen tonsils, falling out of the hair or eyebrows, and finally, a leprous-like decay of the flesh and bones. If you have any of these or similar symptoms, you are cordially invited to consult me immediately. If I find your fears unfounded I will quickly unburden your mind. But if your constitution is in fected with poisonous virus I will tell you so frankly and show you how to get rid of It. My special treatment for Contagious Blood Poison is practically the result of my life work, and Is indorsed by the best phy sicians of America and Europe. It contains no dangerous drugs or injurious medicines of any kind. It goes to the very bottom of the disease and forces out every particle of impurity. Soon every sign and symptom of Contagious Blood Poison disappear completely and forever. The blood, the tissue, the flesh, the bones and the whole system are cleansed, purified and restored to perfect health, and the patient prepared anew for duties and pleasures of life. Don't throw this announcement away. Cut it out; put It where you can find It, and If what I have to say to you today is not of GREAT Interest, watch for another talk.
