RESIGNATION SOON TO COME
Result of Stormy Interview
- With Roosevelt.
GRIPPE IS READY EXCUSE
Keeps Him Away From .Treasury,
N'ot From Morgan Will Be Pres- '
ident of Knickerbocker Trust.
One Reason for Delay.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. (Special.)
Secretary Cortelyou hits resigned. This
is the announcement that came coupled
with his return from New York tonight.
The story current here Is that the presi
dency of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany has bej?n offered to him.
As a matter of fact, the best Informa
tion obtainable here is that Mr. Cortel
you resigned at the close of a stormy
private session with President Roosevelt
following; on a Cabinet meeting some time
Rgo. Mr: Cortelyou's tenure of office, in
the Cabinet was made impossible" by the
quarrel which he had with " the Presl
dent following representations made to
Mr. RooBevelt of Mr. Cortelyou's alleged
interference with the Taft plan of cam
paign. Immediately after that, Mr. Cor
telyou left the Treasury Department and
went home, explaining that he was sick
of the grip. Since then he has recovered
from the grip, but has. not been near the
department.
Claims Equal to Taft's.
He ha attended Cabinet meetings,
and after each of 'them has teled to
persuade the President that he was as
much entitled to the support of the
administration for the Presidency as
Mr. Taft. In each case he hus entirely
failed. The result of his failure is his
resignation.
According to the story current to
nght, Mr. Cortelyou resigned some time
r ago, his resignation to take effect
whenever the President should find a
man suitable for the place. The
premature publication of It tonight Is
not authorised, and Is very likely to
be denied. However that may be, the
best of authority is that Mr. Cortel
you's resignation has been in the
President's lian'ds for some time.
When Mr. Cortelyou was asked about
it tonight, he made a general denial,
but would not go Into particulars nor
submit to 'cross-questioning. He di
rected -the telephone company at 9
o'clock to call him no more until 8
A. M. It has not been possible tonight
to get confirmation from the White
House. .
Well Inough to See Morgan.
. Mr. Cortelyou has been absent from
the Treasury Department since Decem
ber IS. He recovered from Hie grippe
so that he could attend a New Year
reception, all the cabinet meetings and
go to Brooklyn to make a speech. He
also received visitors at his home. One
of these was J. Plerpont Morgan, who
called last week. Mr. Cortelyou de
nied that Mr". Morgan's visit had polit
ical meaning.
It is believed the acceptance of Mr.
Cortelyou'e resignation was deferred
until he has answered the questions
the Senate put to him. Tie is under
fire for the methods used by the Treas
ury to relieve the financial stringency.
The information has been promised by
' noon tomorrow.
PLAGUE CAMPAIGN ENDED
Only One Xew Case Since Christmas
In San Francisco.
PAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14. The cam
paign for the eradication of the bu
bonic plague in San Francisco, whioh
lias been conducted by Dr. Rupert Blue
and a staff of 15D medical officials of
lh United States Marine Hospital, Is
almost over. Only one case of plague
has occurred in this city since Decem
ber 26, and it was a Japanese who was
tnl;en ill after arriving from Stege,
Contra Costa, where he is believed to
have contracted the disease. The local
health authorities announce that no
further daily plague bulletins will be
issued.
Since the origin of the plague in this
city last May there have been 137 veri
fied cases. Of these 17 were verified
hy dlnicHl examination and ICO by
bacteriological investigation. Of the
total number of persons who contract
ed this disease, 74 died and 63 rccov
ered. Only two cases remain under
treatment, and at the Isolation Hos
pital there still remain IS suspects
under observation.
While the plague has practically
been stamped out, the sanitary cant'
Vaign of Dr. Blue and the local health
authorities will continue for some
timo to come.
MUST EXPLAIN OPINIONS
t.oltl Tells of Attitude of Congrega
tion to Dr. Hanna,
ROME, Jan. 14. Cardinal Gotti, Prefect
of the Congregation of the Propaganda,
mftde a report today to the Pope of the
meeting held yesterday. He declared that
the failure to select Rev. Edward J.
Hanna, of Rochester, for the office of
Coadjutor Archbishop of San Francisco,
did not assume anything of a personal
nature against the candidate, even in the
eyes of tliose who opposed his election. It
being generally admitted that he deserves
election, but, said Cardinal Gotti, it did
not seem advisable, under present cir
cumstances, when the struggle against
modernism is being carried on so vigor
ously, and when other ecclesiastics guilty
of the same errors as Dr. Hanna has
been accused of have been punished, espe
cially in France and Germany.
For this reason, he said.- it was deemed
indispensable that Dr. Hanna publicly
demonstrate that he is not guilty of the
charges made against him, explaining his
opinions with regard to what he wrote in
the American Catholic Encyclopedia and
the New York Review, and publishing

HONOLULU, Jan.- 14. A local Japa
nese newspaper prints an interview with
Viscount Aoki, late Japanese Ambassador
to America, in which Viscount Aoki is
quoted as follows:
'I do not approve of manual laborers
going to America. They, cannot expect,
after Japan's Ion? Isolation, to establish,
themselves in any Western country.
"Destiny and opportunity are in Asia,
in Corea and Manchuria."
Viscount Aoki also expressed himself
as opposed to Japanese seeking naturali
sation in America, for the reason that
citizenship is only needed by those who
contemplate .permanent residence.
Split in Japanese Cabinet.
TOKIO, Jan. 14. The resignation of
the entire cabinet was narrowly averted
today. ' The Premier, Marquis Salon jl ten
dered his resignation to the Emperor this
afternoon at 4 o'clock, but His Majesty
declined to receive it, while the alternative
resignations of Toshlro Sakatani, Minister
of Finance, and Tsadnre Yamagata, "Min
ister of Communications, were accepted.
Mashisa Matsuda, Minister of Justice,
will combine the portfolio of Finance, and
Keihara, Minister of the Interior, will
combine that of the Minister of Com
munications. This leaves the cabinet
without any new element and removes
the disputants, who have been the dis
turbing factors some time past. .

cluded his remarks at 'Carnegie Hall to

NEW YORK. Jam 14. The attorneys
for Harry K. Thaw, at his trial today,
began relentlessly to build up the case of
legal insanity which they interposed in.
his behalf as a. defense for the killing of
Stanford White. The two principal wit
nesses of the day were Charles H. Koeh
ler, of Winona , Minn., who acted as in
structor to Thaw in the Wooster (Ohio)
University, in 1S86. and Mrs. Amy Gro
zette, of San Mateo, Cal.. who attended
Thaw as a trained nurse at Monte Carlo,
in 1897. They both told of the young
man's eccentricities, and declared that
his manner always was Irrational. Dr.
John T. Deemar. of Kittanning. Pa., one
of the Thaw family physicians, also was
heard, as were the attendant physicians
of three institutions for the insane where
members of the Thaw family of botn the
paternal and maternal sides were con
fined. Shuts Out Much Evidence.
District Attorney Jerome, by unexpect
edly invoking the sacred privilege of
physician and patient, blocked much of
the testimony, as to unsoundness of mind
in the Thaw family, but the calling of
witnesses and the questions they were
allowed by the court to answer, left the
desired impression upon the jury. Mr.
Jerome explained that the law compelled
him to object to such testimony without
an express waiver from the patient Even
the nnrse : who attended Thaw wsie not
allowed to testify until Thaw personally
had made a waiver of the confidential
privilege In open court.
Thaw's Crazy Ancestors.
Dr. Deemar. testified he treated Thaw
for St. Vitus dance and measles. He re
peated this testimony and told also of at
tending members of the Copley family.
the mother's branch of the defendant's
antecedents. Dr. Deemar said a brother
of the older Mrs. Thaw became an Imbe
cile. Dr: C. G. Wagner, of BInghamton. N.
Y, and Dr. Smith. Jeliiffe, two alienists
of the- defense, were present.
-Dr. Deemar was asked as to the pres
ent mental condition and whereabouts
oj John Ross, a paternal cousin of the
defendant, but Mr. Jerome objected on the
grounds that the doctor obtained his in
formation while acting in a professional
capacity and it would require a waiver
from his client before he could testify.
Justice Dowling sustained the objec
tion over the protest of Mr. Littleton.
On cross-examination Mr. Jerome drew
out the fact that Henry Copley, while in
capacitated for . mental work, was never
confined In an asylum. . ..
Dr. William S. Butler, of Roanoke. Va.,
former assistant physician at the Western
Lunatic Asylum, Staunton,- Va., where
.Horace Thaw, a paternal cousin of Harry
K. Thaw, was confined, was asked as to
Horace Thaw's condition up to the time of
his death. Mr. " Jerome again objected

and was sustained. The District Attorney
also successfully objected to the intro

admitted to the asylum on the ground
that It was hearsay.
Mr. Littleton took an exception to the
ruling. .

Dr. L. 8. Foster, of Norfolk, Va., for
merly of the Eastern State Hospital for
the Insane at Williamsburg, Va., where
William S. Thaw, another cousin of the
defendant, was confined, next was called
to the stand.
Dr. Foster was asked to Identify the
records of theaasylum as to the admit
tance of William S. Thaw,, and did so.
When the record was offered in evi
dence, 'Mr. Jerome objected on the ground
that it was incompetent 'estimony, and
was sustained. t "
Mr. Littleton here recalled Dr. Deemar,
and succeeded. In circumventing the for
mer objections of the District Attorney

said he ceased to be Ross' physician after
the latter had been committed to the Hope
Institution for Feeble-minded. He was

BOYERTOWN, Pa., Jan. 14. When
nightfall put a stop to the work of
recovering the dead from the ruinj of
the Rhoadeg Opera-House, where last
night's holocaust occurred, the official
roll 6f victims numbered 167. Whether
any more bodies are buried beneath the
ruins cannot be positively stated, but
it is the belief of those who had charge
of the grewsome work that all of the
dead have been removed, and that the
total list of victims will not go over
170. The ratio of women and girls to
men and boys is about 9 to 1. Work
of identification will not be begun until
tomorrow, as most of the bodies are
still lying in a confused Btate at the
four Improvised morgues.
Every Family Lost in Mourning.
The population of the place is about !
2500, and the disaster paralyzed the
town, and the people are going about
dazed. It is safe to say that everybody
in the place, either lost one or more
relatives or was intimately acquainted
with those who died In the fire. In
several cases, whole families were
wiped out.
It was almost daylight, this morning
before the flames were extinguished
and rescuers were able to enter the
ruins to remove the dead. The morn
ing was bitter-cold and by the time the
benumbed and exhausted firemen began
the task of disentangling the mass of
burned beams and twisted iron the en
tire ruins were coated with ice and
there was danger of the walls falling.
The work was slow at first and It was 7
o'clock before the first body was re
moved. Recovering tlie Bodies.
Coroner Strasser, of Reading, who
reached the scene shortly after midnight
last night, had a detail of men ready to
tag the bodies and keep a record of the
description of every corpse removed. Tlje
bodies were so badly burned, however,
that there was little to describe them by,
'and not half of the victims will ever be
identified.

Company offered men to help, and soon
had two carloads of laborers and carpen

ing bodies then moved so rapidly that
victims were being taken from the ruins
at the rate of two every five minutes.
Origin of the Fire.
For several months thes Sunday school

PORTTO CONTROL
PILOTSANDDUTIES
LargerPowersPlanned
for District.
INITIATIVE IS TO BE INVOKED
Present Commission's Author
ity to Be Extended.
MEASURE A SUBSTITUTE'.
Instead of Creating Port of Colum
bia, Port of Portland Will Bo
Given Greater Latitude In
Regulating the Service.
Control of pilotage and towage between
Portland and the. sea, to be vested. In
the Port of Portland Commission, Is the
purpose of an amendment to the charter .
of the port district proposed by the navi- !
gation committee of the Chamber of ,
Commerce for enactment under the ini-
tiative at the June election by the voters
of the district. The Port Commission j
row exercises only the function of itn- ;
proving the river channel from this city j
to the sea. Pilotage on the oar is con-
trolled by an Astoria commission, ap-,
pointed by the Governor. Pilotage in the
river Is performed by pilots licensed by
the United States. Ship towage on the
bar and in the river is performed by :
boats of the O. R. & N.
The proposed amendment to the dls
trict charter will consolidate control of J
pilotage and towage, on the bar and in j
the river, in the Port Commission, with-
out abolishing the Bar Pilot Commission
at Astoria, or attempting to repeal the I
state law that ordains compulsory pilot-'
age and fixes rates of pilot service. .
. Abandon Port of Columbia.
This plan of amending the port charter;
Is & substitute for the creation of . the ;
Port of Columbia, which citizens of Clat-'
sop County defeated In the Supreme
Court. The Port of Columbia was estab
lished by an act of the Legislature,
passed at the last Bession, and embraced
Multnomah, Columbia and Clatsop Coun-1
ties. The Supreme Court held the act in
valid, on the ground that the port dis
trict was in the nature of a municipality '
which new amendments to the constitu
tion forbid the Legislature to create.
The Port of Columbia was to be gov
erned by a commission of five members, i
three from Multnomah, one from Clatsop,
and one from Columbia. The Commission
was to control pilotage and towage at t
the mouth of the Columbia, but not be
tween Portland and Astoria. This would :
have abolished the State Pilot Commis
sion, controlled by two Astoria members, !
transferred control of the bar pilots from I
Astoria to Portland, and given control of
bar towage to Portland, thus consolidat
ing two services on the bar which are in
timately connected, and which should be
conducted for the aid of each.-other in the
Interest of Columbia River commerce,
centered In Portland.
9500,000 Bonds Authorized.
The new plan is more desirable than
the other, so far aa Portland interests
are concerned, since unwilling Clatsop
County will not be -yoked up with
Multnomah. The powers of the Port of
Portland are to be extended to the
building, or purchasing, or leasing of
river towboats, bar tugs and pilot
boats. The port Is to be authorized to
raise I50),000 for these purposes by
the sale of 6 per cent bonds, which
shall be paid within ten years, one
tenth each year. The port commission is
to be authorized to levy an additional
-mlll tax, which will supply a reve
nue of about $100,000 on the last
assessment, and 'whatever other tax as
shall be needed to pay interest on
bonds and retire bonds in the annual
installments.
The equipment needed will be prob
ably three river towboats, two bar tugs,
and one pilot b.oat run by steam.
The Port Commission wilt be author
ized to fix a combined charge for pilot
age and towage of sailing vessels between
the sea and Portland; alio to fix a charge
for pilotage of steam vessels, but this
rate "shall in no respect exceed the
charges fixed by the State of Oregon fori
pilots upon the bar pilotage grounds and
upon the river pilotage grounds upon the'
Columbia and Willamette Rivera." TheJ
Port of Portland w(U hot be authorized;
to cut under the pilot rates now fixed by!
law, but will be able to control pilotage
by its authority over bar and river tow
age. For these two classes of service the
Port Commission will fix a combined rate.'
Pilots to Use Port's Boats.
The bar pilots will find it to their ad
vantage to use the Port's tugs and pilot
boat for approaching vessels. For this
privilege the pilots now pay to the O. R.:
& N. tugs one-tenth of their earnings, and
it is believed they will pay the Port that
much, or more. Or, the pilots may con
sent to take salaries from the Port, in lieu
of the fees which the law now allows
them. After enactment of the amendment
to the Port charter,, the Legislature will
be called upon to repeal the laws fixing
pilotage rates and ordaining compulsory
pilotage.
The bill will be initiated by signatures
of not less than 1400 legal voters In the
Port of Portland district, that number
being 8 per cent of the vote cast by the'
district for Supreme Judge in June, 1906.
