THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1909. TRAINMEN TELL TAFT NO STRIKE President of Brotherhood Says Rumors of Impending Walkout Are Absurd. NO DANGER BEFORE 1910 Demand of Easterners for Increase Cannot Be Formulated Even for Discussion Through Regular Methods Before Early 1910. CHICAGO. Dec. 6. William G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, tonight Bent a message' to President Taft. assuring him that sensa tional report regarding a general rail road strike were without foundation. Following is President Lee's message to President Taft: "In order that yourself and the public may know the truth. I deem It necessary to state that the press reports Indicating that a strike of the Brotherhood of Rail Toad Trainmen and other affiliated or ganizations Is threatened at this time, as a result of the demands made for In creased pay In the territory east of Chi cago, are absolutely without foundation. "Whatever action Is taken by the or ganization I represent will depend en tirely upon the Individual expression of the members through the general com mittee for the railways In the country, and will be handled In the usual manner. The demand of the train employes In train and yard service east of Chicago cannot take proper form even for delib erate consideration between the railway officials and their employes before the early part of 1910. "All this talk of a strike of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen and affil iated organizations Is absurd, and the membership of the organization fully realizes It." Two other railroad brotherhoods, those of the Locomotive (Firemen and Railroad Conductors. It was stated here tonight, have, decided to join the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen In the demand on Eastern railroads for a 10 per cent In crease In wages. About 1S8.000 men in all are Involved In demands to be made. RCMORS CALLED PREMATURE Declared Announcement Is to Gain Sympathy for Switchmen. KEW YORK, Dec 6. "Rumors of an Impending strike," said Vice-President Murdock. of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, today, "are premature, and we believe they are circulated to influence the roads of the Northwest into granting demands of the Switchmen's Union of North America. We have nothing to do with that movement, and have troubles enough of our own without entering Into any others. "Our proposals have not been sub mitted to the management of the East ern railroads and we have no reason to suppose that they will be refused when they are submitted. It is no secret that we have long felt we are entitled to higher wagea. A demand for them was deferred two years ago. when the finan cial panic caused a pause." A. H. Smith, vice-president and general manager of the New York Central, said today: "The company is on the most friendly terms with its employes." In other well-informed quarters it was said tonight, that as the railroads have long contemplated an Increase in freight rates, they are not in a position to treat the request for an increase in wages from their employes too brusquely. CHRISTMAS NOT TO BE GLOOMY Railroads Say They Can Handle All Freight Offered. CHICAGO. Dec. 6. The General Man agers' Association of the strike-bound railroads of the Northwest Issued a , statement tonight declaring that there would be no Rloomy Christmas for any one because of the Inability of the rail roads to handle the Christmas freight. "At the close of the sixth day of the switchmen's strike." reads the statement, "we have shown greater progress than any day since the strike was called. That we feel little, concern about our ability to move Christmas merchandise, livestock and perishable freight is evidenced by tho fact that all lines continue to accept traf fic to and from all points without re striction and. unless conditions were prac tically normal, it can be readily deter mined that the railroads would hardly use the business judgment of continuing to accept freight to fill up their terminals and freight-houses at the risk of enorm ous losses. "It has been said the coming Christmas would be a gloomy one because of failure of the railroads to transport merchandise. With reference to this we feel that the public need feel no concern." COAL FAMINE STARES YAKIMA Shipments Held .Vp by Strike East of Ellensbnrg. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Dec 6. Special.) Because of the. switchmen strike. North Yakima, is facing a coal famine. Two of the local yards are now out of coal, and the supply in the remain ing two will be out before tomorrow night. Ijocal coal companies have plenty of coal ordered, but it Is held up in the cars beyond EUensburg. The small sup ply on hand has been depleted rapidly by people who have rushed in orders in tho last few days. Unless coal reaches herts before tomorrow night. North Yakima will be facing a serious condition. FIGHT STEEL TRUST'S POLICY Presidents of Labor Unions to Meet and Plan Campaign. PITTSBURG, Dec. 6.

HILL LINES ARE ALL CLEAR Roads to Take All Kinds of Freight, Even Perishable. F. II. Fogarty and IT. A. Jackson, lo cal freight representatives of the North rn Pacific and the Great Northern, re- ; spectlvely. under instructions from St, n Paul, yesterday announced that the Hill HAMMERSTEIN DISCOVERS A ' W Carmen Meila. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. (Special.) Oscar Hammerstein has found another dramatic soprano. While the Metropolitan Opera-house is drawing on the old forces of Colonel Savage for soprani to take the place of Eames and Sembrich and the other great singers it has lost, Mr. Hammerstein is scouring Europe for new material and discovering voices unheard of in America of remarkably fine quality. His latest discovery is lime. Carmen Mells. an Italian whose debut in "Tosca" last week created something of a sensation. In recent years New York has had only one satisfactory "Tosca" Mme. Earaes. Since she re tired from the field of opera the managers haVe been seeking vainly for someone to take her place. The Mtropolitan tried Geraldine Farrar last week, but the critics unite in declaring her Tosca a failure vocally and dramatically. They are unanimous in their praise of Mme. Carmen Mells, who will appear in the opera again this week at a special per formance arranged by Mr. Hammerstein. roads would accept all classes of freight, including perishable, for all points with the exception of a few towns in Western Washington which cannot be reached be cause of high water. It is reported that all the freight busi ness in the Western division has been cleaned up and trains are being moved regularly. The announcement is made that the flood conditions will be overcome In a day or two so that freight may be accepted for. all points reached by the Hill roads. FREIGHT .MOVES IX MONTANA Conditions Become Normal and Strikebreakers on Way. MISSOULA. Mont., Dec. 6. Freight traffic on the Rocky Mountain branch of the Northern Pacific is again becoming normal. The full quota of local traiijp Is Deing sent over tne division ana today several through freights arrived In Mis soula. Not a striker has returned to work as yet. The local freight office was opened again today and freight is once more being received for shipment. Acting Superintendent M.' M. Fowler stated today that strikebreakers would arrive within two days. The strikers re fuse to talk regarding the strikebreakers, but no violence is expected. The men will be housed on the company's prop erty. Freight for West Accepted. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. The New York traffic officers of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroads today issued bulletins stating that they were accepting all freight to the Northwest without any restrictions. Officers of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul Railway state that their whole line is clear and that freight Is being accepted for all points, including St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. FRAUD METHODS TOLD OF PECULIAR ACTIONS OF WEIGHTS AT TIMES DESCRIBED. Witnesses in Sugar Case Tell How When Customs Officer Appeared, Light Flashed Signal. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. Ramifications of the scheme through which the Govern ment is alleged to have been defrauded of millions of dollars in sugar duties were gone into today at the continuation of the trial of tho former employes of the American Sugar Refining Company on charges of conspiracy to defraud. The cross-examination of Richard Parr, the deputy surveyor of customs, whose dramatic story of the raid, on the sugar docks at Williamsburg stands out as the salient feature of the trial so far, was resumed. Parr's cross-examination developed little of interest. Other witnesses testified to what seemed to them unwarranted variations in the scales for some time previous to the raid. Thomas M. Stenson, a Government weigher, testified that-in June,. 1906, he noticed the weights were running lower than ordinarily at a scale at which Kehoe, one of the defendants, was checking. He called Kehoe's attention to it, and the weights after the scales were balanced by the weigher went up at once to normal. Robert Jones, a former company em ploye who had worked under Spitzer and other superintendents on the docks, testi fied that the men who looked after the Government weighers were known about the office as the "roly poly gang." John R. Coyle, one of the defendants, was a member of this gang, he said. "We all- know on the docks," the witness continued, "that one of that 'roly poly" gang always checked the Gov ernment weighers." Frederick B. Saunders, a negro Gov ernment lawyer 'stationed for 11 years on the sugar company's docks, testified that he had seen an electric light flashed as a signal and the scales hastily balanced by the company's employes when the customs officials would appear. Vancouver to Have Theater. VANCOUVER. Wash., Dec. 6. Spe cial.) J. T. Kiggins. Mayor, asked per mission of the Council to build a two story brick building, to be used as a theater at the corner of Tenth and Main. The matter will be settled at the next meeting. NEW DRAMATIC SOPRANO EXPENSES ARE GUT Estimates for 1911 Are Put at $732,223,075. FUNDS ARE WELL GUARDED No New Work Is Authorized Except Where Regarded as Absolutely Necessary Navy Department Will Build No Warships. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. That there has been a careful scrutiny of the estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1911, is shown by the figures submitted to the House of Representa tives today by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, The grand total of estimates for 1911 is $732,223,075, which is 5103,370,303 less than the appropriations for the cur rent fiscal year and 1123,066,493 under the estimate submitted a year ago for 1910. A general cut has been made wherever possible and new work au thorized only where regarded as abso lutely necessary. Large reductions in the estimates as compared with the appropriations for the current year are: In the Treasury Department a decrease of $12,000,000 for public works; in the War Department, about $6,000,000 in the military estimate, made up of decreases in the es timates for regular supplies, construction work for the army, mounted equipment, transportation, ordnance and manufacture of arms, and $2,600,000 for public works, exclusive of the Panama Canal. , Navy Expenditures Cut. In the Navy Department, a decrease of $36,000,000. due partly to the fact that Sec retary Meyer has not asked for any money for new ships and that only $4,000. 000 Is required for armor and armament as against an appropriation of $12,452,000 for this year. In the Postofflca. Department, a reduc tion of $5,000,000 in the estimated defi ciency in the postal revenues and in the Department of Commerce and Labor, a decrease from $10,000,000 to $2,000,00 is on account of the thirteenth census. On the other hand, there is an increase of nearly $15,000,000 for Isthmian Canal expenditures. The estimates in detail tor the various departments are (cents omitted): Legislative, $13,169,679; Executive, $472, 270; State Department, $3,576,301; Treas ury. $136,998,605; Tentorial Government, $287,350; independent offices, $2,400,695; Dis tript of Columbia, $11,884,928; War, $300, 461.643; Navy, $117,029,914; Interior, $191, 224,182; Postoffice Department proper, $1, 695.690: deficiency in postal revenues, $10. 634.123: Department of Agriculture, $17, 681,1.16: Commerce and Labor, $14,187,913; Justice, $9,518,640. For collecting the corporation tax, $100,000 is asked. Total estimates required on account of the Forestry Service are $5,043,700. Of this amount, $397.5,00 is for the nrotec tion of the 26.000,000 acres recently aaaea to tne .national rorests. . Militia Expense Increased. Secretary of War Dickinson wants $1,350,000 for the encampment and-man euvers of the organized militia, as against an appropriation of $425,000 for the cur rent year. For buildings and grounds at West Point Military Academy, $1,070,- 2bz is asKea. The $17,435,724 asked for under the head of increase of the Navy is for the completing, outfitting and armament or vessels already authorized. For modern izing turrets of all ships, $54,000 Is wanted. For public works, under the hureau of yards and docks, the estimates include: Navy-Yard, Boston, 1105,000; naval station, Guantanamo. $100,000; Navy- Yard, Mare Island, siot.ooo: Navy-Yard, New York. $516,000; Navy-Yard, Norfolk. $380,000; naval station. Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. $2,045,000; Navy-Yard. Philadel phia, $215,000; Navy-Yard, Puget Sound $885,000. For land for a torpedo station near Pacific Coast, $145,000. N. Y. DEMOGRATS OUT FOR REFORM Gaynor's So-called Popularity Receives Slap From Big Leaders. JEROME IS DOWN AND OUT Though 'Former District Attorney Would Like to Be Governor, There Is Little or No Chance for Him. BY LLOYD T. LOKERGAN. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. (Special.) When tne charter members of the Demo cratic League, specially appointed puri fiers of the party of Jefferson and Jack son and Bryan, met in the Manhattan Club to organize the other day. somebody remarked that William J. Gaynor had "demonstrated his wonderful popularity." Whereupon Aspinwall Hodge arose and made, a remark that has added to his fame. "Gaynor got the Tammany vote, noth ing else," he declared. "An Indian cigar sign would have run Just as well. The name 'Gaynor' meant nothing. It would have made no difference had It been Zanziban Goldfrap, or Michael Cohen." Hodge Is Wealthy. Hodge is a militant Democrat, wealthy and of an old family. He does not want office. It is a surprise to his friends that he Is willing to accept harmony. He has decided opinions and snortingly defi'es all who do not agree with him. When Hearst was "nominated" for Mayor last month, everybody was sur prised to see Hodge on the platform with hlih. Hodge made a speech and there was nothing diplomatic about it. He declared he had no use for Repub licans, never had and never would.- So he could not support Bannard. Tammany Hall was crooked and far from Demo cratic. So he was opposed to Gaynor. Under the circumstances, he added, there was nothing for him to do except to sup port Hearst. And he openly sighed. " For I don t like his newspapers," he added, with refreshing frankness. "They are rotten.- I would not have them In my House. Some of the things he has done seem good, even admitting that he did it to advertise his Journals. He Is the best man in the race, which is why he will get my vote this year." If Hearst Had Won Out. If Hearst had been elected, Hodge would probably never have gone near him except to abuse him, but he would abuse him publicly. For this battling Democrat is never afraid to say what he thinks. His charge that "Zanzibar Goldfrap" would have run as well as William J. Gaynor did not sound correct, and poli tical statisticians have never attempted to demonstrate that fact. But, after the Hodge defiance"- the matter has been looked Into, and with surprising results. Gaynor was named for the avowed pur pose of pulling weaker men into office. Ail over town, voters declared that Gay nor was the only man on the Demo cratic ticket who could get their ballot. This was said by both Democrats and Republicans. It would have been fair to imagine, therefore, that Gaynor polled many more votes than his associates. But investi gation, based on the official canvass just completed, shows that he did not. On the city ticket with Gaynor were R. R. Moore for Controller, and John F. Galvln for President, of the Board of Aldermen. Here is the revised vote: Gaynor. 250,678; Moore, 250,136; Gal vin, 252,641. Galvin Leads Judge. In fact, the unknown Mr. Galvin led the popular Judge Gaynor by 1863, while Moore was only 542 behind the lead of the ticket. " Not much evidence of personal pop ularity there. In New York County a bitter fight was made against the Tammany county ticket, particularly George Roesch, who had been blackened during the Lexow investigation, "Christie" Sullivan and Jimmie hagen, ex-Warden of the Tombs. Everybody knew that while Gaynor would run away ahead of his ticket, these three would be left far be hind. What was the result? There were tnree city and four county candidates voted for in Manhattan. Gaynor was sixth. Here was the official vote: Gaynor. 134.478: Moore, Controller, 136,- 481; Qalvin, President Board of Alder men. 136.420; SullLvan, Sheriff, 332,681 Roesch, City Court, 134.654; Hagan, County Clerk. 136,232, and Goldwater, Register, 135.488. Even Rosch beat Gaynor. although it will be seen that they were all in bunch. - City Candidates Beat Gaynor. In Brooklyn, Ga;nor ran 600 ahead of Galvin, but in Queens and Richmond both of the city candidates, headed him by a few hundred votes. "All Gaynor got was the irreducible minimum of the Tammany vote," de Clares one observer, and that seems to be the correct analysis. The McClellan men are using these figures with telling effect. They de clare that the Mayor-elect's popularity stands on a level with his temper, and that he has neither right nor reason to look for further promotion at the hands of the party. A majority of the Democratic League, it is known, takes this view of the case, and are disposed to look down upon the Mayor-elect. "He has demonstrated an utter lack of vote-getting ability," declares one re organizer. ."And unless something unfor- seen occurs, cannot hope for further honors at the hands of his party. He is simply Tammany's only successful candi date, that is all. Murphy Expects No Courtesies. Which view of the case, it can be re liably stated, has caused Charles Francis Murphy to froth at the mouth. For he does not expect any particular courtesies from "the only man he elected." The "Hon. Fingy Conners." chairman of the Democratic state committee, has been in town of late, and is in high spirits. "There will be nothing to it next year but McClellan. he proclaimed. "He is the only big man in the state and don't you forget it. Tammany won twice with 'Little Mac Jr.,' and see what happened when he was turned down, Why, my boy, up state tney are crying for hi absolutely and actually screamln for him. He has a lead pipe cinch for the nomination, and it is a gilt-edge Govern ment bond against a plugged nickel that he will be elected hands down." From which it may be inferred that "the Hon. Fingy" Is ready to declare himself "in" on any and every scheme for the uplift of his party. District Attorney William Travers Je rome, after a period of peevish panting. has announced that he too is anxious to aid in the reform of the Democracy, whose ticket ie occasionally votes. Mr. Jerome was. nominated for a third term by a few misguided citizens, but when all the big parties declined to have any thing to do with him he declined to run. All the same his campaign expenses ex ceeded $9000 according to a statement filed with the County Clerk. 'After January." says Mr. Jerome, l will be a private citizen, and hope to earn a livelihood by the practice of law. At Present the bosses are down and out. but it will take hard worn to Keep um in retirement. "The orbsoects of Democratic suc cess are bright, if we can, get together, and also convince the people that our candidates are high-class men, deserv ing of the votes of honest citizens." It is an open secret that Jerome re gards himself as one of the "high-class men," and would not reject the nomina tion for Governor, while, for the "sake of harmony." he might consider .a chance to be Attorney-General. But Jerome will not be invited. To quote one party leader: Isn t it funny how dead a once pop ular man can become? Did you ever know a man who had more friends than Jerome had a few years ago, or who is weaker with the voters than he is today?" And the answer to the last hair of the question is "No." CATTLE SUFFER IN SNOW KANSAS, STORM - SWEPT, TIN- SHELTERED STOCK CWGHT. All Wires Down.

SMITH PICKED TO REPUBLICAN TICKET EXPECTS VICTORY IN LOS ANGELES Good Government League Just as Confident, and Saloons Clos Early to Help In Fight. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 6. (Spe cial.) At the close tonight of the first campaign in Los Angeles under the di rect primary, both sides claim victory at the polls tomorrow, the Republicans by from 3000 to 5000, and the Good Govern ment organization, an offshoot of the Lincoln-Roosevelt League, by much less. Experienced politicians are of the opin ion that Smith, the Republican candidate for Mayor, will win by at least 2500 over George Alexander, his opponent, who was elected last April to succeed A. C. Harper, recalled. The Good Government organization Is sued a last-day appeal to women to con tribute to the campaign fund, and tonight for the first time in the history of local campaigns the saloons closed in order that their proprietors and employes might be on hand early in the morning and take a hand in the election. The fight has been bitter since long before the primaries of last month, when 140 candi dates were on the ticket for all offices, the number now being reduced to 46, 23 of whom are to be elected, including Mayor, Attorney, Clerk. Auditor, Assessor, Tax Collector, Treasurer, nine Council men and seven members of the Board of Education. Piper Heldsieck tobacco is a gentle man's chew and gentlemen chew it. Do you?
