THE MORNING' OREGOMN, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1910. ! i t i : -4 II ELDS VOTE TOMORROW HESLLT OF COXGER CHARGES MERE GUESSWORK. Both. Members Slay Resign, One la Certain, to Go, but Whether Ac cuser or Accused Is Unknown. AiZAXr, X. Y., March 2& The 49 rnembers of the State Senate -who com prise the Jury in the Allds-Conger bribery case will vote Tuesday on the Question of whether Senator Conger has suc ceeded in makinfr good his charge that Senator Allds, while majority leader of the Assembly, In 1901. demanded, received and accepted $1000 for influencing high way legislation. What the verdict will be no one knows. Corridor gossip has been busy with specu lation and predictions have been freely offered, but these forecasts have been mere guess work. Should the verdict be against Allds, he will be given an opportunity to resign, otherwise a motion will probably be made to expel him. If the Senate decides Con ger has not proved his case and his resig nation is not forthcoming, a motion to expel him probably will be. made. Senator Allds declared before the in vestigation began if the charges were true there were "two Senators unfit in the Senate." If untrue, "then one is un fit." If true, there is reason to believe that if the charges are sustained and Allds resigns, or is expelled, an effort will be made to expel Conger if he does not re sign. With the Allds case out of the way, the question of a broader investigation of al leged corruption will have to be settled.

Jeffries will be the headliner and Frank Gotch will be another one. There will be enough more to make up a party of 25. We will start from San Francisco one week after the fight and probably have, the first per formance in Texas." "But suppose that Jeffries is knocked out?" was the query. "Impossible," was the answer. "Jeff is already under the wire, and there is not a chance in the world for him to lose: besides, I can tell you that Jeff won't retire from the Brlng so long as there are any colored "gentlemen on earth to dispute his title. He will quit for good if some good white man comes to the front to defend the title, but he is liable to be in the game until he is B0 years old. If any more Jack Johnsons should show up." Berger said that he had not closed with Joe Choynski to become adviser as yet, but hopes to before he leaves for the Coast. Choynski thinks he will be un able to get away from his buiness, but he has hopes of arranging his plans.

Colton. alias Wallace, held in the county jail to await trial on two charges of highway robbery, made a murderous assault on Deputy Sheriff Harry Draper in the cell-room of the county Jail Sunday afternoon with a brick wrapped in a cloth.

Draper has a severe scalp wound, the seriousness of which will not be known until a closer examination can be made. It is believed, however, that the deputy sheriff's skull is not fractured. Draper raised his arm as Colton Blade a murderous swing with the brick and the blow caught him on the arm and back part of the head. Draper 'was dazed by the blow, but did not fall.

(Special.) of the Interior Department that Idaho is entitled to 76,000 on a 5 per cent basis from public land sales In this state covering the period from Its admission Into statehood in 1890 to 1899, has urged Governor Brady to Insist on an investiga tion of the state records to ascertain where the money went if paid, and if not paid, to find the grounds the Interior Department has for its denial. State Treasurer Hastings says he has located the money received on the 5 per cent basis for land sales from 1893 to 1898, which had been "sandwiched" into the records of the office under various ac counts. Hints at misappropriation are made, but are scoffed at by state offi cials, who believe that the present con troversy between the state and the Gov ernment is due to a misunderstanding. With a view of putting members of the Idaho Congressional delegation on the scent of the missing funds. Governor Brady wrote them personal letters. A few days ago Senator Heyburn replied, saying that so far as he had been able to ascertain. Idaho had received, every penny that was due it, and if there was no accounting for it, the state hooks must be in error. It was through this letter that the State Treasurer was able to lo cate the "sandwiched" accounts. This would have closed the case, but Governor Brady, still believing he was right, demanded a further investigation. It was then discovered that cash pay ment has not been made to Idaho by the Government covering a period of 20 years. Due to the probing of Governor Brady, the state has practically abandoned its first claim for $75,000 and substituted a claim for $85,000. This brings before the state and the Interior Department the question as to whether the claim of a state for S per cent of the public land sales where scrip wae used Instead of cash payments, can be substantiated. AERONAUTS DRAW CODE FRANCE CLUB SUBMITS REGU LATIONS TO REPUBLIC. Aviators Must Keep 150 Feet Above Ground, Trips in Fog Taboo. Building Lights Provided. PARIS, March 28. Rules and regu lations controlling the navigation of the air haye been formulated by the Aero Club of France and have been submitted to the French government as the basis for a national law. The code, elaborated after much study, aims to meet the rights and interests of all of the aeroplanists and balloonist flying through space and of man and man's property on the earth below Following are some ef the club's sug gestions: Aerial craft, whether aeroplane or diri gible balloon, must not circulate lower than 150 feet above private property Flying above cities requires a permit from the municipalities. Flying in a fog is not allowed and the transportation of explosives, except hunt ing ammunition. Is prohibited. For the protection of the aeronaut it is recommended the proprietors of high buildings and other structures be re quired to illuminate their property at night at each level of 250 feet, while electric wires strung above 150 feet from the ground should be marked each 600 feet with a white flag by day and a white light by night. At the Theaters "STT. ELMO." Iramatld by YVtllard Holromb, From the Novel by Augusta J. Evans. CAST. St. Elmo Marray. .. .Charles K. Ounn Rev. John Hammond. Bellew Baldwin Gordon Leigh Edgar R. Sinclair Mr. Dent Ralph Bell Mr. Clinton ............ .Jas. McCaro Aaron Hunt. ...... .Edgar R. Sinclair Marry Hammond . . . . George Baldwin Shadrach Chris Lynton Sheriff James Dufraln Edna Earl Gerda Nelson Mrs. Murray. .' Mrs. Cooper Agnes Powell Louise Brownell Mrs Wood. .Georgia Woodthorpe labathn Edith Cooper PARTICULARLY appropriate for an Easter week theatrical offering is "St. Elmo," at the Baker Theater. For the first time in Portland the authorized dramatiza tion of Augusta J. Evans" well-known novel is being given. Perhaps the really re markable thing about "St. Elmo" is that at some time or other every person has read it, or heard its story told. No mod ern one of the "six best sellers" ever has enjoyed a similar popularity of this old fashioned,' semi-religious novel out" of the years long since past. Possibly no heroine like Edna Earie ever lived; it is a certainty that her pro totype is not abroad today. A young dam sel afflicted with rhetoric which is thrown off her system by means of platitudes, exhortations, prayerlets and quotations from the Scriptures could not consistently be hailed as the , accepted and modern handmaiden of joy and mental relaxation that the theater as a place of amusement is supposed to afford. But this Etina is acceptable platitudes, sermonettes and all. She conveys a proper impression of the sweetness and strength that conventional taste associates with the character. The role of Edna Earle is assumed by Gerda Nelson, who is sufficiently attract ive, and possesses requisite ability to de note the various phases of the orphan girl her gentleness, charm and morality but she is not effective in the big emo tional and dramatic moments of the play, particularly in the first act, when she witnesses the. murder of Murray Ham mond and discusses it with the same tenseness and fervor that she would use in asking for a transfer. The titular role of St. Elmo Murray is taken by Charles E. Gunn, whose treat ment of the character Is an excellent bit of work. He emphasizes the salient points of the role, and plays with Impressive dignity. Bellew Baldwin is capable as Rev. John Hammond, and Edgar R. Sin clair acquits himself with credit as the old blacksmith, Edna's grandfather. One of the best bits of work is that of Geor gia Woodthorpe, whose humorous charac terization of an old woman with proclivi ties for conversation bad a telling and instantaneous effect upon the audience. The production was made In conformity with the limitations of the period at which the story occurred. Particularly attractive were the women's gowns, with flounced skirts and dainty fichus. As a performance It offers no compell ing artistic inducements, yet the decided novelty of the revival of the old-time re ligious story compensated evidently for incidental shortcomings. RAILROAD READY TO BUILD Steel Bridge AVill Soon Span Che halis at Aberdeen. ABERDEEN, Wash., March 28. (Spe cial.)
