THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, JULY 27, 1908. VACANT CORNER BRINGS S 1 2 Ti . Q 0 Charles K. Henry Buys Quarter-Block From Western Realty Company. SITE WILL BE IMPROVED Present Owner Has Several Plans for Cornei' at 1'ourth and Oak Streets Formerly Owned by Dr. E. H. Parker. The unimproved quarter block, lOOx 100, at the southwest corner of Fourth Mid Oak streets, was bought Saturday from the Western Realty Company by Charles K. Henry, as a personal Invest ment. A few months ago the corner was ac quired by Joseph M. Healy from Dr. E. H. Parker, and upon the organization of the Western Realty Company It was taken In as part of the holdings of that concern, Mr. Healy being one of the principal owners of the company. The consideration in the sale'effected yesterday Is $125,000 In round numbers, there being some matters relating to street work, taxes, etc., which are to be assumed and adjusted by the parties to the sale, which may make a dlfren ence of 11000 or perhaps more in the final computation. Deal Is Important One. This purchase by Mr. Henry has sig nificance and will have marked effect In furnishing proof of the assertion made by individuals and newspapers, that Portland valuations of sites for Duel ness purposes are not only below those In cities of similar size and importance, but offer better opportunities. The fact that men with the business acumen of Theodore B. Wilcox and Mr. Henry are among the heavy buyers recently shows that local values are on a sound basis. The quarter bought by Mr. Henry Is directly opposite the new Board of Trade building and is vacant, with the exception of a small frame house on the south end of the piece, until re cently occupied by a Japanese. This is to be torn down at once and the whole made ready for an improvement of a character commensurate with the re qulrements of the locality. The ground is in the very midst of some of the most Important recent structures in Port land. The imposing Board of Trade building Is opposite; the Commercial Club building a block distant; the Wells-Fargo. Couch, Rothchild and Cor bett estate buildings within a stone's throw. Mr. Henry came to Portland about 25 years ago from Walla Walla and had the foresight to buy suburban lands in the southeast district of the East Side, where tracts are on the city maps today platted as Henry's addition and first and second additions to Henry's addition. Gradually he added to his real estate business the handling of ' whnt has become known to the trade as "inside" property. Three Plans for Building. As to the disposition of the property, Mr. Henry has at least three proposals ' under consideration. One is a building to be erected by himself of perhaps four stories, for a wholesale and retail con cern, that will lease the premises for a long term, the purpose being to use the first floor for a retail department and the upper floors for storage and wholesale business. In case this con cern secures the premises, there will be an Important addition made to the mer cantile business of Portland, for it al ready has large houses In San Francisco and Seattle. Another proposal is for a lease of the ground on a long term by a concern that would build to suit its own pur poses, probably only on a portion of the quarter block, but would erect a number of stores along the Fourth street front. This concern would build say 60 feet along Oak street by 100 feet deep. When Mr. Henry was asked last night about the purchase he said these pro posals had been brought up to him, but that he desired to decide only after mature consideration and could not now announce what would be done. Of one thing, however, he had decided, and that is that the site would be built upon without delay, and that contract would be given this week to have the site cleared of the small house and de bris. Mr. Henry, on his return from Den ver, a few weeks ago, made up his mind to buy a site in the business district and, after looking over the ground and examining the possibilities of the few vacant pieces available, finally de cided upon the corner purchased yes terday. After he had made up his mind It took but a short time to close ne gotiations with the former owners, who had their price and would sell when that was offered. From all that could be learned last night the building to be erected will be started in the near future and be ready for occupancy in record time. The new owner of the corner has the reputation of doing things promptly when once he has made up his mind. NEW GUN IS NOISELESS DEMONSTRATION ALSO SHOWS IT WILL SHOOT. Inventor Reruses Witnesses Per mission to Inspect His Gun While in Operation. WASHINGTON". July 2fi A New York correspondent of the Washington Post gives the following description of the test of the new electric gun In that city: Without any sound except the patter of bullets as they made holes through tar gets constructed of pine boards, 100 shots a second were discharged yesterday morning from a noiseless and powder less gun in the loft of the Standard Me ter Company's factory, Flatbush. At the demonstration, which was made by the. Inventor of the gun. Frederick liarwcrter, a mechanical engineer, of 2181 Bedford avenue, were several mechanical experts, who had been especially invited to witness the test. No one was permitted to inspect th gun, which was completely hidden by a wooden inclosure constructed around it in a corner of the loft. Not even the muz zle of the weapon could be seen. Through a. hole In the casement ran a funnel- shaped hopper, into which Mr. Bangerter dumped the steel bullets. Before the demonstration began Mr. Bangerter explained that his invention does not require explosives of any kind, and that compressed air has nothing to do with the discharge of the bullets. The mechanism, he explained, is simple so simple, in fact, that any one with a bent f ot machinery would understand it . li once permitted to examine the gun. Power From Electric Motor. Power from a 7-horsepower electric mo tor supplied the propelling force which discharged the bullets. This power was transmitted by a belt which ran from the flywheel of the motor through an opening in the casement and over another wheel which was connected with the gun's mechanism. 1 Xo sound except the whirl of the wheel came from the gun inclosure when the power, was turned on. .Mr. Bangerter did not enter tne uttie room housing tne weapon, for once the power is turned on it is not necessary that any one should be near the gun. Into the hopper he poured the bullets, and from the hidden muzzle of the gun came the steel billets. There was no explosion, no smoke, and no click of shells being forced empty from the magazine. The only sound that came from the gun was the dropping of the bullets into the funneL: For ten seconds the bullets were fed into the gun. The spectators, crouching behind the wooden partition that had been erected to protect them from re bounding shots, saw the target, which was about ten feet square and sixty feet away, riddled with holes within a Becond after the rain of steel began to rattle on the half-inch pine boards. The bullets were three-eighths of an inch in diameter. Made Short Work of Targets. Within two seconds there was a big gaping hole in the center of the target. Five feet in the rear of the first target was a second target, also constructed of half-Inch pine, and behind that, five feet away, was a third. Having demolished the first obstruction the bullet tore through the second, and when the power was turned off, the third target was riddled with bullets. Mr. Bangerter explained that the test had been highly successful. The demon stration yesterday was made with the second gun, constructed by Mr. Banger ter. The first discharged small shot. Mr. Bangerter, who is 35 years old, and a native of Switzerland, was encouraged to continue his studies for a noiseless, powderless gun by Dr. William H. Marsh, of Flatbush, whose tragic death from rabies six weeks ago Is still remembered. Dr. Marsh was the president of the Stan dard Meter Company. After the success of the first gun. Dr. Marsh became finan cially Interested in the second. If the gun ever brings a fortune to its inventor 10 per cent, of the money will go to the family of Dr. Marsh. "I have no intention of taking out pa tents on the gun or placing it on the market," Mr. Bangerter said. "I realize that it would be too deadly a weapon to place within the reach of every one. "After the gun for the 0.6-inch bullet is completed I shall open negotiations for its sale. Of course, the United States' shall have the first chance. I have at ready received an offer from an English syndicate. They want me to construct a gun that will come up to the British government requirements that the bullets penetrate a pine board one inch in thick ness at a distance of 300 yards. "The gun which I shall build next will do all this and be capable of discharging 600 shots a second or 30,000 a minute. To drive this gun 130 horsepower will be nec essary. By the time the new gun is com pleted I will have ready a specially con structed auto truck on wnich the weapon will be mounted. "Unless the power broke fiown it would be impossible for the enemy to capture one of these guns, whlcn are so simple that they can be mounted on a swivel and swung to any point of the compass. Two men, one operating the engine sup- plying the power and the other directing the gun, could stand on loo.oou men. MEN ARE NOT REBELS WESTERN" FEDERATION" TO AID MEXICAN'S IN" PRISON". Miners' Organization Declares Men Arrested as Conspirators Were Organizing Miners' Unions. DENVER. Colo., July 26. Aid' will be rendered the four Mexicans under arrest at Los Angeles, Cal., charged with inclt ing rebellion In Mexico, by the Western Federation of Miners. This afternoon the convention of that organization In structed its locals to send cash subscrip tions to the Bisbee, Ariz., miners local union to be used as a defense fund for the Mexicans. The Bisbee union is made the committee to handle the fund. The best legal talent available will be fur- nished for the defense of the men. It is alleged that the accused men were simply organizing Mexican labor unions and not inciting rebellion. The executive board was instructed to start a vigorous campaign for member ship in every mining camp under its jur isdiction, the campaign to include the small camps as well as the larger ones, Special instructions were given regarding the mines, smelters and mills in Colorado. The prosecution of its officers and mem bers having been ended, the organization will turn its attention to a constructive policy. One new district, to be known as Alas ka district, was created. This gives a to tal of eight districts and increases the executive board to eleven members. The question of organizing other unions than those of miners, smeltermen and millmen in camps where no other labor union Is presented was under discussion when the convention adjourned. HANL0N AND MURPHY DRAW Hanlon in Old Form, but Murphy Game and Aggressive. SAN FRANCISCO, July 36. Eddie Hanlon and Johnny Murphy fought a ten-round draw last night at Colma. The fight was a fast ope and Hanlon made good his assertion that he had returned to his old form. He forced the fighting and probably had a light shade the better. Murphy was game and aggressive, however, and any other decision than a draw would probably have been unfair. Murphy was best at long-range fight ing, while Hanlon did his best work at in-lighting. DUTCH IRE IS AROUSED Press Foresees Naval Demonstration Against President Castro. AMSTERDAM. July 26. The Coun cil of Ministers today discussed the Venezuelan question and the newspa pers for&ee a naval demonstration in view of President Castro's provocative attitude regarding the points at issue between the two countries. The situation is now accentuated by the expulsion of the Dutch Minister for personal reasons. CI GH DONS .HOLIDAY ATTIRE Dressed in Flags and Bunting for Taft's Notifica tion Day. CANDIDATE REACHES HOME Many Demand Handshake on Jour ney Through Ohio Southern Democratic Governors Send Messages ot Good Will. CINCINNATI, O.. July 26. "Notifica tion day" seemed suddenly to become a realization in this city upon the arrival or William Howard Taft. The work of planning and of general preparation for the event has been going steadily for ward for some time, but it took the pres ence ot the candidate to exhilarate the city by the unfurling of the flags, the draping of bunting and the general breezi- ness of the holiday atmosphere, all of which Is to culminate Tuesday in official functions. The reception of Mr. Taft as he stepped from the train which had brought him from New York could not have been more simple. It had been purposely planned to avoid any suggestion of function. Charles P. Taft and one or two old friends were at the station to greet the candidate. A crowd stood back of the station gate and could not resist a modest demonstration of approval, and a few friendly expres sions were snouted nere and mere as tne two brothers made their way to a car riage. All Ready for Notification. During the drive to C. P. Taft's resi dence on Pike street, a glimpse of the holiday attire of the city was had, and when the old colonial horse was readied there were decided evidences of the com ing event. Two large temporary porches just being completed on either side of the pillared entrance showed the necessity for providing for the notification committee and the local reception and arrangements committees. Directly in the center of the stone steps protruded a speakers' platform which looked out on the right and left to the spacious , lawns where standing room for 1500 persons will be eagerly sought Tuesday and perhaps many times during the coming campaign. On the south lawn Is a sleek new flagpole, on which is mounted a gilded eagle, erected to bear the flag which Mr. Taft's enthusiastic Filipino friends have sent to be raised daily during the campaign. When it is raised for the first time Tuesday morning amid a general salute of guns and whistles, it is to be the occasion of a. brief address of acceptance by'C P. Taft. This flag-raising begins the ceremonies for the day. Enthusiasm for Taft. After his arrival today Mr. Taft spent the afternoon and evening quietly at the home of his brother. He received few callers and gave himself to rest and read ing and the society of his Immediate fam ily. The trip from New York was without important incident. Here and there knowl edge that Mr. laft was aboard as his train would draw into a station resulted in cheers and a demand for handshaking and for a speech. This was so at Erie just at daybreak and the crowd was dis appointed. At Springfield the populace fared better and many men climbed over the car platform and were cordially greet ed for their effort. ' At other places Mr. Taft bowed through the car window and smiled his appreciation of the enthusiasm. Good Will From Democrats. In its enthusiasm for Mr. Taft and for Cincinnati the local arrangements com mittee sent invitations to be present to the many state Governors, and the selec tion included both Republican and Demo cratic governors. Among the answers was one from Governor Comer, of Ala bama, who said he would not be able to be present, but added: "But mark you, I want to see Mr. Bry an elected, but with the least possible damage to Mr. Taft, as we like him." Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, said: "I regret that I cannot be with you, as it would give me pleasure as a citizen, but not as a politician, to show any re spect I could to Judge Taft, as I have a very high opinion of his qualifications." A reply received to an invitation sent to Senator Foraker and signed by 8. C. Chenoweth, said that "on account of the Senator's absence from the state it will not be possible for him to be present." IT NESRO VOTE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR MAY HELP DEMOCRATS. Bryan Managers Plan to Use It in Doubtful States. Where Colored A'ote Is Large, Notably Ohio. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. July 26. It is impossible at this early day to determine just where trie negro vote will land in November. In years past the negroes have very gener ally supported the Republican ticket, but the Brownsville incident promises to have some, effect upon the colored vote this Fall, and the Democrats contemplate using that question in doubtful states where there Is a material negro element, espe cially in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. At one time, when Foraker was bitterly attacking Taft and making all manner of threats against him, the negro question promised to be a vital issue, but after Taft was nominated. Mr. Foraker prompt ly announced that he would support him, and forthwith the Brownsville issue was heavily discounted. Many negroes who looked upon Foraker with utmost admira tion, quickly declared that If Foraker was for Taft. they would support him also. Others who had felt unkindly towards the late Secretary of War, looked over the situation, and concluded that they could expect nothing from the Democratic party, as the Democrats would be very likely to turn upon them, once Roosevelt was out of the White House. Negro Leaders Interviewed. Within the past week a number of prom inent negro leaders have been interviewed upon Taft and the Brownsville affair, and from the statements quoted below It would seem that many, at least, of the negro voters Intend to support the Republican George W. Lee, of this city, while not a voter, is in touch with his people. He said: "The negro had better give the Republi can party another chance as the only party that promises him anything. I be lieve the Brownsville affair will cost the party many votes, unless it can give him some assurance of a favorabje settlement. I shall cast my destiny with the G. O. P. once more, trusting it will redeem itself from any error that it has made." Over in Philadlphia Bishop L. J. Coppin. another influential colored man, expressed this view: "The conserv ative leadrs among our peo ple do not hold the Secretary of War re- oiviiaiuia i v" i i.iiiw. . . . . . u v. j . - . .j . ...... . affair, and they will advocate the elec- J tion of Mr. Taft to give him an opportu nity to act in the interest of fair play and equal justice for all, as expressed in the Republican platform. Mr. Bryan and his party do not want and do not deserve our support." Atlanta Bishop Talks. ( From Atlanta. Ga.. comes the following statement of Bishop H. M. Turner, a negro: "A large portion of the colored people will vote and support Mr. Taft for party sake. But more will not vote at all. and others will vote for Bryan. The contest between Taft and Bryan will be close. Thousands of colored voters are indignant over the disfranchisemeni of the negro by whole states." A much more radical view is taken by J. Milton Waldron. president of the Na tional Negro American Political League, who resides in Washington. Dr. Wal dron, also a minister, recently telegraphed Bryan giving assurance that he would re ceive 6 per cent of the negro vote of the country. This assurance is discounted, however, because practically all the mem bers of the organization of which Waldron is president reside in V ashington city. and have-no vote, and this association has no branches extending out over the coun try. Bishop Waldron was one of the hot headed negroes who undertook to bull doze the Senate last session into voting with Foraker on the Brownsville matter. The bishop says he is "sore" because he feels that every "intelllgnt, self-respect ing negro knows that he will be read out of the Republican party if Mr. Roosevelt's policy triumphs next November and Mr. Taft is elected." His View Not General. How many negroes are willing to join Bishop Waldron In jumping Into the hos tile Democracy is yet to be demonstrated. Bishop Waldron's view does not entirely coincide with that of his fellow bishops in other cities. Aside from the views of colored church men is the view -of Booker T. Washington who stands at the head of his race, and is more influential than the biggest church man. He appeals to a different class, and to a great many of that better class, who, however, are themselves in the min ority. Booker Washington up to the pres ent writing, is -on the best of terms with President Roosevelt, and has failed to find sufficient excuse to justify him in chang ing his political faith. When Washington bolts it will be time to look for a general stampede. Meanwhile both parties are playing for the colored vote, and there is little doubt that the Democrats will get a larger num ber this year than in any previous cam palgn. AUSTRIAN SHOOTS HIMSELF THEN DECLARES HE WAS VIC TIM OF HOLD-UP. Police Discredit Story of Frank Linck, Who Dies Later at Good Samaritan Hospital. Frank Linck, an Austrian, shot hlm self yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock on the steps leading up to Portland Heights, at the head of Porter street, and died at 1:30 o'clock this morning at the Good Samaritan Hospital. The bullet entered in the region of the heart and for three hours the man moved from place to place with his life's blood- ebbing away. Finally he staggered to the grocery store of W. H. Smith, 275 Hooker street, and asked for aid. He was removed to the Good Samaritan Hospital. At the hospital Linck, who had first refused to give his name, declared -that he was the victim of robbers; having been held upon the' Third-street carllne by a man whom he had never seen be fore. He said that he had $150 at the time. No credit is put in this story by the police, who believe that he tells it be cause of shame for attempting to take his own life. Linck had a watch and 3 in his pockets when taken to the hospital and it is believed this is all the money he possessed. Linck was first seen by two little girls about 2 o'clock, sitting on the steps. He did not speak to them, but sat as one depressed, with his head resting on his hands. About this time B. O. Sawyer, who lives at 763 Third street, heard what he thought was a muffled report of a firearm. He walked about in the neigh borhood a little, but not discovering any thing, dismissed the subject from his mind. At 3:30 o'clock, as he passed down Third street, he saw Linck lying on the grass in front of 730 Third street. The man looked as though he might be drunk and. beyond opening his eyes and looking at Sawyer, made no sign. - R. Huffsmith, of 211 Porter street passed him still lying there at 3:45 o clock. At 5 o clock Linck staggered to bmith s grocery, store and sat down de jectedy in front of the door. He re fused to tell what was the matter with him or what his name was. but said that he would allow himself to be taken to hospital. Patrolman Lytle went to the scene and In response to his questions Linck could do nothing but maintain a sullen silence. He was removed to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where he afterwards regained consciousness. The police made a search of the neigh borhood in which the shooting is sup posed to have taken place, but could find no trace of the weapon. It is thought that Llnek threw it Into the brush on the Heights and that, it will be found later. SHAH'S BROTHER PRISONER KEPT IN FORTRESS TO FOIL PLOT OF ANTI-ROYAXISTS.

Later the scene changed to the French court at Fontainebleau and the Louvre, where Champiain was commissioned to set -out for Quebec. The court scenes were given by upwards of 1500 courtiers and court ladies, drawn from the leading families, and several hundred horses, with the open plain forming the stage on which this army of players appeared. . The final scenes showed the armies of Wolfe and Montcalm, in numbers almost equaling the original armies, marching side by side in a parade of honor. The Prince followed the production with much interest. REVIEWS NATIONS' WARSHIPS Prince Visits Each Vessel of British, American and French Navy. QUEBEC. July 26.

TOOLE IS UNDER CLOUD WAIVES IMMUNITY AND DENIES L.ND FRAUDS. Montana State Land Board Accused of Favoring Big Lumber Companies in Sales. GREAT FALLS, Mont., July 26. On ac count of charges made In connection with state timber land In the Flathead Valley district, an ' investigation has been in progress at Kalispel before Governor Xor ris, the Land Board and ex-Governor Toole, who was a member of the Board when the sales under investigation were made. The charges are to the effect that the commission favored the big land companies by selling to them through dummies valuable timber land for less than they were worth. Several witnesses testified that dummy names were used The charges involved ex-Governor Toole, Attorney-General Galen and others. F. H. Prodger asserted on the stand that Superintendent McCrea of the Northwest ern Lumber Company had told him that the reason certain patents had been held up was because the members of the State Board could not agree on a division of the boodle; that Governor Toole insisted "on having twice as much as any other member." When Mr. Toole wished to take the stand, attorneys for the complainants objected on the ground that to permit such testimony would grant immunity to any person so testifying. On behalf of the Governor himself and the other mem bers of the Board, the Attorney-General waived such immunity, Mr. Toole emphatically denied the charges made by Prodger as did Mr. Galen, Secretary of State Yoder and Su perintendent Harmon. Mr. McCrea also denied having made any such. remark to Prodger. The investigation will be con tinued and Governor Norris insists he will go to the bottom of things.
