TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1909. TOO FEW KNIVES TO KILU'CBEDIE Democrats Must Muster Big Army of Republican Allies to Do It. FIND JUDGE IS ELIGIBLE Hopes of Disqualifying Him Fade on Studying Federal Constitution. ' All-Xight Study or Law Is Fruitless. TACOMA. Oct. 1. (Special.) In the fccond Congressional district of Wash ington. In which Judge V,'. TV. Mo Credie. of Vancouver, has been nomi nated for Congress by the Republicans, the normal plurality of that party is in excess of 17.000. The defeat of Judge MrOredle would therefore mean a knifing of the ticket to an extent of which the present disap pointment in Pierce County gives no in dication. Now that the situation Is being con sidered in its reasonable light, the Demo crats apparently have decided that they have not such a good chance to elect the Congressman as they supposed im mediately after the dissatisfied Tacoma delegates returned home. Therefore a new phase of the situation has been broached by calling attention to section IS of article four of the state constitu tion. This section reads as follows: Straw Clutched by Democrats. "The judges of the Supreme Court and the Judges of the Superior Court shall be Ineligible to any other office or public employment than a judicial office or em ployment during the term for which they shall have been elected." On its face thi apparently would make Judge McCrecMa Ineligible to Congress, and some Democrats have professed to believe that th.y ree a method provided under the circumstances of beating the Republicans out of a Representative in the Second district. As a matter of fact, however, this sec tion of the constitution was thoroughly considered and discussed after the cau cus In Olympia last Tuesday night and there Is a complete and effective answer to the question raised. It Breaks In Their Hands. This answer is found In the United States Constitution, which takes preced ence over the state constitution. Section Ave of article one of the former con tains the following: "Each house shall be the judge of the elections, return and qualifications of its own members." At Olympia, Immediately after the cau cus decision was reached, the Ashton men called attention to the provision of the state constitution quoted. Represen tatives of the Attorney-General's office were consulted and W. V. Tanner. As sistant Attorney-General. referred the questioners to the provision of the Fed eral constitution, and expressed the opinion that there could be no doubt about Judge McCredies eligibility. Nevertheless lawyer-members of the Pierce County delegation went to the State Library and searched for decisions until 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. It is understood that all the decisions found sustained the contention that the state constitution would not affect the eligibil ity of a candidate situated as is Judge McCredie. It Is absolutely certain that if any grounds could have been discov ered foF raising a serious question as to Judge McCredies qualifications, they would have been presented Wednesday before or during the convention proceed ings. Can't Keep Xante Orf Ballot. There is some talk that the Democrats tray seek to prevent the placing of Judge McCredie s name on the ballot. It Is asserted that the decisions bearing on the point relate in all the Instances so far found to the qualifications of the can didates in question after the election had been held. The decisions, so far as found. do not cover the right of a Judge to have hls name appear on the Congressional ballot when nominated for the office. It is pointed out, however, that this would avail the Democrats nothing, because if they won the case some other Republican would be named to fill the vacancy on the ticket. Ab a matter of fact, there Is a prec edent in this state for permitting the nomination to go without question. Con gressman Miles Polndexter was elected only last year, before the expiration of the terra for which he was elected as Judge of the Superior Court of Spokane County. He has taken his seat In Con gress without question. Odds Too Big to Overcome. Well-informed politicians here have no doubt concerning the success of the Re publican Congressional candidate. In the Second district last year Cushman had a majority over Browder D. Brown, his Democratic opponent, of 17.&44. While !t might be said that Cushman was an un usually popular candidate, the official vote of the district shows that tn the same counties S. G. Cosgrove. the Re publican candidate for Governor, ran ahead of Cusnir.an ti votes, mis plu rality in the counties making up the Sec ond Congressional district was 17.S&6. The lowest man on the state ticket in the last election was J. H. Behively. State Insur ance Commissioner. His plurality In the counties comprising the Second Congres sional district was Just one less than 17.000 voles. That 17.000 Is the normal plurality in the district in a Presidential year prob ably means that it will be considerably less in a special election, but the relative strength of the Republicans and Demo crats in the district is about two and one half to one. The odds are so strong that even conservative-minded observers here admit that Judge McCredie is as good as elected. REPUBLICANS TO DO HOXORS Judge McCredie to Be Tendered Reception Tuesday Evening. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Oct. 1 (Special.) A grand public reception, not merely of the citizens of this county, but of the Republicans from all over the Second Congressional district, including the dele gates to the convention that nominated him. will be held !n the tabernacle in tills city on Tuesday, October 5. In honor of Judge W. W. McCredie. the Republican nominee for Congress. It was at first planned .to hold a recep tion In the club rooms of the Commer cial Club, to which all the citizens of Vancouver would be invited, but the scope' of the reception was enlarged so as to Include the Republicans of the dis trict. The first committee appointed met last evening and arranged for the larger gathering, and a subcommittee, composed of John Elwell. Donald McMaster and J. J. Padden, waa selected to take, charge - t. n-ns-T- mm. nA the imuinsr of in' vitations. Prominent speakers will de liver addresses. DEMOCRATS TO TAKE ' ACTION Propose to Keep Judge McCredle'a Name From Ballot. I ILl 1 I . " MH ' " ' To prevent the name of McCredie go- , L.H. k.A Ing on the - congressional Supreme Court win be asked to enjoin the Secretary of State, according to the statement made by local Democrats to- "'Itate Law Librarian C. Will Shaffer, secretary of the State Bar Association, and who is a Democrat, says: "Of course the state constitution disquali fies McCredie. But inasmuch as the Federal Constitution makes each nouse of Congress sole Judge of qualifications of its own members and as the House is Republican. It probably would not oust McCredie to seat a Democrat. Pos sible state courts might enjoin the Sec retary of State from placing McCredie's name on the ticket on the ground of this disqualification, and again, state courts might refuse to take Jurisdiction because of the Federal question in volved. There are cases both ways re ported." SOPHOMORES BEG OFF SORRY ' NOW THEY. PLAYED PRANKS ON FRESHMEN. Grown Bold by Numbers, First-Year Men Are Said to Hare Invited Attack From Sophomores. - UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Or., Oct. 1. (Special.) Nearly 20 sopho mores came before the advisory-committee of the faculty this afternoon to con fess their share In' last Friday night's hazing, and the others have decided to appear before the committee tomorrow morning. ' Their action is a vresult of the meeting of the sophomore men called by Presi dent Alton today noon. Here. It was the consensus of opinion that, through a thoughtless deed, the hazers had brought the name of the university In an un favorable light before the people of the state and that the only thing to do was to pay the penalty, whatever it might be. The sophomores, however, signed a pe tition appealing for leniency for their implicated fellow-classmen, on the ground that the stunts enacted on the freshmen had all been of a comical and not of a dangerous nature. The students thus' far interviewed by the faculty have maintained that the hazing was not part of an organized plan, but was taken up on the spur of the moment. Further, that a band of freshman easily distinguished by their green caps and made bold by numbers, had gone down the street inviting attack. Some of the sophomores even claimed to have been pushed into the gutter by the first-year men. The freshmen also held a meeting at noon today, at which a resolution was passed appealing to ;he faculty to show leniency to the sophomores and stating that they bore no ill-will against the second-year men for Friday night's pro ceedings. LINE - UP LOCATORS WIN Land Office Decides Craig Mountain Case Against Contestants. LEWISTON. Idaho. Oct. 1. (Special.) An apparent quietus has been given the movement started several weeks ago to secure the cancellation of more than 30 entries to land on Craig Mountain by the General Land Office in its recommenda tions to the local Land Office to dismiss the contest case entitled James G. Shaw vs. H. R. Freeland. The contest was Instituted on the grounds that Freeland and others en tered Into a conspiracy to organize a line In the Land Office building to the ex clusion of others, and that through the successful operation of this plan the en try to the land in controversy was se cured. The affidavit of contest is ordered re jected on the ground that, if the charges were proven, they would not warrant a cancellation of the entry. The contestant Is given 30 days to appeal. The land secured by the entrymen was rnrmriv n rtnrt of the Nez Perce Indian reservation. It was opened for settle ment August 2 and prior to the tlme'set for receiving the filings a line was main tained in the Land Office building. . The Freeland case was considered one of the strongest with which to make a test and it is not expected the many other contest cases now under prepara tion will be filed. Approximately 5000 acres was Involved, valuable for agri culture and timbey. OFFICIAL SEEKS DAMAGES Marshal Arrested on Graft Charge Demands $5000. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Oct. 1. (Spe cial.)

IS MEYERS FUGITIVE Assassin Will Never Be Taken Alive, Say Those Who Know Desperate Youth. CRIME IS COLD-BLOODED Salem Policeman, Dying, Says Shooting Was Unprovoked Sec ond Shot Fired After Wounded Officer Had Fallen. SALEM. Or.. Oct. 1. (Special.) Pa trolman Thomas M. Eckart. who was shot early this morning by George Meyers as he was taking Meyers to jail, died shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon, at the Salem Hospital. .In an ante-mortem statement, Eckart de tailed the circumstances leading up to the shooting. The cold-blooded and unprovoked killing of the officer has produced much bitter feeling, and there are some fears of mob violence if Meyers is caotured. ReDorts were in circula tion late this evening that Meyers had been captured at Independence, nut they proved to be unfounded. Meyers Is Desperate Man. Those who know Meyers state that he will never be taken alive If he gets an Inkling of the death of his victim, and as Meyers Is well known as a sportsman and a crack shot with a rifle or revolver. It Is feared there will be more blood shed before he Is cap tured. Mayor Rodgers announces that the city of Salem will pay a reward of $50 for the capture of the assassin, and Chief of Police- Gibson and Sheriff Minto have offered to add to this $25 each from their own pockets If Meyers is captured alive. . Fugitive Is Youngest Son. The fugitive is the fifth son of Jo seph Meyers, of Portland, who founded the largest mercantile business In Sa lem and who sold out a year or more to his sons. H. W. and M. L. Meyers, who are now conducting the business. During the past year the Meyers fam ily has been much In the limelight, owing to the efforts of the sons to prevent their father marrying Mrs. Durette. and the theft of a box of se curities, valued at $50,000, while the valuables were In transit between Sa lem and Portland. Shot Down in Cold Blood. Eckart, in his dying statement of the shooting, says he was met on the street by Morley Myers, who requested that the officer remove George from Mor lay's room, the, latter saying the father had given orders that George should be kept out. George agreed to accom pany the officer, but made threats that he would "get" his brother Morley. As they walked toward the Jail the conver sation was friendly. The two men stopped a few feet In front of the jail, and Meyers remarked: Some one is In there looking in-, the . window." -As Eckart turned from the window to face Meyers, the prisoner, with a curse, pulled a pistol from his slicker and shot. Eckart, the bullet entering the abdomen. Eckart fell to the ground, and Meyers, turning back, shot the of ficer again, the bullet taking effect in his knee. Meyers Worked in Portland. Meyers Is a plumber by trade and has been employed until quite recently in Portland. Alt'hough he has never been in serious trouble before, he has been a heavy drinker and is quick tem pered and Inclined to be troublesome Eckart was an excellent officer and very popular. He had been on the force only about a year during his last en gagement, but was formerly on the force and also Chief of the Fire Depart ment. He leaves a widow and family of four boys and one girl. Late tonight Meyers was still at large, notwithstanding the fact that a constant search of the city and surrounding coun try has been kept up since 1 o'clock this morning, when Eckart was shot. Both the Sheriff's office and the city police force is carrying extra deputies tonight, and every train and exit from the city Is being watched, and every part of the city vigilantly patroled. Young Meyers has spent practically his entire life In Salem, and knows the city thoroughly. Also his frequent hunting trips have made him thoroughly familiar with the surrounding country in every di rection. For these reaesons It may be a difficult matter to locate the fugitive. NEZ PERCE LOOKS DRY IDAHO VOTERS ASK ELECTION TO FIGHT SALOONS. Delicate Point of Law Involved In Any Action County Commission ers May Decide Upon. LEWISTON, Idaho, Oct. 1. (Special.) Local-option petitions bearing the names of 3-422 voters of Nez Perce County were filed with the County Auditor this afternoon asking the f-ountv Commissioners to call a special election for the purpose of submitting to the voters the question of abolish ing the saloons. The Idaho local-option law requires that 40 per cent of the votes polled at the last election for Secretary of State must be represented on the local-option petitions and the records show that 2939 names would have been sufficient to compel the Commissioners to call the election. The law also requires that the Commissioners set the day of election within 10 days after the regu lar meeting convenes and the date shall not be. less than 30 or more than 60 days from that time. Prominent lawyers of the city believe the Commissioners cannot take action at their next meeting, which convenes October 11, because the law also pro vides the petitions shall be on file In the Auditor's office at least 10 days be fore the meeting of the Commissioners. They hold the petitions could not have been filed later than September 30 to receive the attention of the board 'at the coming meeting. It is definitely stated that this point will be fought out in the courts should the Commis sioners decide to set an election day at the coming tenm. The next regular meeting of the board will be in January. - Tour cough annoys you.

(Concluded on Pais 8.) mentary order, and that this gave rise to the Impression the railroad would make the reduction without legal protest. How ever, the Washington Commission's or der has been altered so it does not take effect until November 1, which- may be the occasion for the delay in notifying the North Bank officials. AH Reductions to Be Met. The O. R. & N. Company apparently is preparing to revise its Washington sched ules. At least Jt te stated authoritatively that the Northern Pacific rates will be met. Mr. Coman yesterday said that In meeting the Northern Pacific reduced nt it had not been the intention to ap ply the same rates to equivalent territory in Orego but he admitted that this might be brought about by the Oregon Commission's order. The O. R.'& N. reduced rates are to apply to all Washington points, and to points west of Wallula in Oregon, where ratea now in effect may be lower than the reduced rates for the longer haul to Washington points. Mr. Coman said some reductions would probably be necessary In Oregon along the main line west of Wal lula, In meeting the Northern Pacific cut, but that these reductions would not be very material. Points in that territory now take rates based on The Dalles rate, which in turn is controlled somewhat by water competition. The Dalles rate to Portland is J1.50, which. It is asserted. 1s relatively lower than rates from Wash ington points to Portland. There is some speculation in Portland as to other effects the new Washington rates may have and it is suggested the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, in view of the reduction forced upon them, may seek to make up the loss in profits by diverting wheat that otherwise would go over the mountains to Puget Sound, to Portland via the cheaper route offered by the down-hill water grades of the North Bank. Surprise will not be felt if Portland's grain exportations show an enormous increase following the putting in effect of the new rates. O. R. & N. Alone Affected. As to the points affected by the Oregon Commission's rate ' order, the issue is almost solely one for the O. R. & N. The Northern Pacific has a short branch running into Oregon but the Northern Pacific is not affected by an Oregon or der nearly so much as is the O. ,R. & N. by a Washington order reducing grain rates. Extracts from the Oregon Commission s order received by The Oregonian last night from Salem show the order becomes effective October 20. W. W. Cotton, coun sel for'the O. R. & N., and R. B. Miller, general freight agent, are both in Spo kane attending the Spokane rate hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. A decision as to the course the railroad company will pursue will not be made until after their return. As to the Washington reductionr.l they are looked upon now simply as a matter of working out details. The Investigation on which the Oregon Commission's order is based covered wheat, rye. oats. Dariey, wheat, grain screenings, corn (Kaffir or common, not dried, and not Including pop corn) malt, flour and millfeed. The in vestigation was on the commission's own motion, and embraced the main line of the O. R. & N., the Condon branch, Hepp ner branch, Shaniko branch. Elgin branch. Pilot Rock branch and Washington divi sion points. ' The rate per 100 pounds from Portland to Heppner is cut from. 14 cenU to 12 cents; Portland to Pendleton, from 15, cents to 13H cents; Portland to Baker City, 20H cents to 18 cents, and other stations show a proportionate reduction, arid In some cases a much larger cut.
