SUFFRAGE CAUSE SCORED Firm Asserts Silence Maintained on Cose Taken on Keqnest Who Are "Reputable People" Not Con nected With Ilquor Interests. ETL'GENE. Or.. Nov. 1. (Special.) Claiming that tho keeping secret of the name of persons ordering anti suffrage circulars was legitimate and that the Inadvertent omission of the house imprint was corrected as soon as the error was noticed. Yoran and Koke tonlzht issued a signed statement which calls attention to lazness In the observation of the corrupt practices act in literature Issued by the Equal Suff rage Association and othens interested In measures and candidates. Following is the statement: "The women of Eugene, issuing finned statement, declaring that the anti-suffrage literature printed by this office, was ordered and paid for by the brewers of Portland, merely stated what they imagined, not what they krew to be a fact. The work was or dered by reputable people, in no way i-onnected with the liquor Interests or with the brewers. "There was no attempt at undue secrecy, but the silence maintained was at the request of the parties ordering tho printing, who said that un account of the well-known tactics of the suff ragettes to distort facts and blacklist those who do not agree with them In the stiffrasre ' auestion' they did not want their names to be made public. Refusal Reaaoa Given. "In our refusal to give out copies of the literature when requested by tne local suffrage president we believe we acted as any responsible printer would in the case; and Just as we would have done had the antis asked to see some matter we have printed lor tne sunrag ettA The first printing done in this of fice during the suffrage campaign was done for the local suffrage league. That lob did not bear the name of the author, nor our imprint, though the suffragists have since put on such of the literature as was aispiayea Kuzene the following: "Eugene Equal Suffrage League, Toran & Koke. Printers with pen and Ink. This was done by the suffragists after they made the charge that the anti-suffrage literature was similar to that nrevlouslv Drlnted for them. "The anti-suffrage articles were all signed with the name of the authors, and only failed to bear the Imprint of our firm. This was an unintentional error, and as soon as our attention was called to the matter we immediately added the. firm name to each article. Much Literature V listened. - "The voters of the state well know that a lot of the literature now being used in this state does not bear the name of any printer; such matter Is being sent -out by the various candi dates as well as by those favoring and opposing the amendments, and the suf fragists themselves have issued circu lars and dogers that do not have the name of a printer. "They did not consider having tne printer's name or the author's placed upon the suffrage literature they or dered of us, though they raised a hue and cry because we did not put our name on the arguments of their oppo nents. "We seem to have been mixed up with the goring of the wrong ox. It has been Intimated that we intention ally and knowingly violated the law. and were averse to making known the parties ordering the work because of our connection with Brewers' Associa tion, which we positively deny." "(Signed) TV. C. Toran. Joseph H. Koke." PACL AVESSIXGEK IS THANKED Mrs. Dnnlnay Says Brewer's State ment on Suffrage Issue Good. "Will you please, through the col umns of The Morning Oregonlan, offer to my friend, Mr. Paul Wessinger, my very best thanks for his explicit state ment in connection with the charge, against the Brewers" Association by the women in Eugene. It was most clear, most concise, most gentlemanly and roost tactful, and I wish I could say the same of the writings and ut terances of some other people." So said Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway yesterday afternoon with regard to the question of the printing of the pam phlets against suffrage by some per son or persons unknown at Eugene. All along Mrs. Duniway has contend ed that the suffragist movement was entirely separate from the prohibition movement, and she said yesterday: "I have been reading the official publica tions of the various liquor dealers and interests, what are known as the trade Journals, and they take the view that 1 understood they would take, and have always thought they took all along, namely, that suffrage per se has rothlng to do with the advancement of prohibition. What Is more. It Is plain to mc they are not opposing suffrage at all this campaign." SCHOONER DRIVEN TO DOOM (Continued From Firt Pare. ) line over the wreck. If be was notified in time. The airship encountered strong" winds and sailed over an ex ceedingly rough bar, but returned without mishap. The Osprey was 58 feet long, had an engine of 73-horsepower, and was built at Coquille In 1908 for the late R. D. Hume, of the Rogue River country. When bis estate was sold to the Mac Leay estate, of Portland, the boat went with the property, and was operated by the Wedderburn Trading Company, the name of the firm under which the Curry County property was operated. Oaprey Hoodooed Boat. The Osprey had several mishaps. She first went into commission In August or September. 1908, and on fier first en try over the Rogue River bar was stranded on a sand spit at the mouth of the river. She was being towed In by the Hume boat Enterprise and while being rushed forward by a wave her towtine became entangled in the pro peller of the Enterprise and was sev ered. The Osprey floated in over the bar to the sand spit and was pulled off the spit at the next high tide. Once again when ;-c Osprey was coming into Coos Bay she had a nar row escape from being lost and in 1S09 Gucder Anderson, one of the men on the boat, was washed overboard. Captain Johnson, the master, was c widely known on the Coast. He had been very successful as a captain run ning lntohe small harbors. He had a ranch outside or weaaerourn aim leaves a wife and daughter. Johanoa Tuned om Rope. In speaking of the disaster today Cantaln Tvler. of the Roscoe. said: "He had the rope about his body, but we could not pull him off. He braced himself and tugged so hard against us that the rope parted. It Is still about his body." Chester Johnson, the egineer. who was lost, was a brother of George Johnson, who was engineer on the gas olir.e schooner WUhelmlna. which wa recently wrecked at Sluslaw Klver. Chester had worked with his brother on that boat, but quit Just the trip be fore the wreck. He had recently tola friends that this would be his last trip on the Osprey. 'Little Is known here of Peltscb, further than that he came from Aberdeen and formerly women on the dredge Oregon when she was in this harbor. He had a short time ago taken the place as seaman on the Os prey. Captain Jacobson, who was a passen ger, resided In San Francisco and leaves two daughters and a son in that city. He was master of the Ber wick, also owned by the Hume Com pany when she was wrecked several years ago. He made frequent trips to Curry County to visit a homestead he had there. The disaster has been taken up by C. A. Smith, head of the C. A. Smith Lumber Company, who is now in the city, and the facts have been forwarded to the officials at Washington, urging that something be done In the way of Jetty improvement for the betterment of the condition, of the harbor. It is not thought the bodies will be recov ered, as they probably were dashed to pieces on the rocks. None of the bodies of the six men lost on the North Star, In nearly the same place, were ever found. MARSIIFIELD HOPES IX WRECK Speedy Improvement of Jetty Plea of Chamber President. The wreck of the Osprey on the sunken north Jetty at Coos Bay yes- terdav. Is regarded bv President E. C. Ore en. of the Marshfleld Chamber of Commerce, as an argument of addition al power In the plea he Is urging before the United States Board 01 r,ngineer, for the sanction of an Immediate sur vey for the extension and improve ment of the Jetty. ' -Mr. Green is In Portland to communi cate with General Blxby, head of the Board of Engineers, who Is to arrive here November 7. In the meantime he has been In conference with Senator Bourne, to enlist his assistance in the matter. "We have been hoping that a favor able answer may be received Monday, he said. "The jetty on which the Osprey was wrecked was built 20 years ago. since that time not a ceni. noa been expended on its upkeep ana mis wreck clearly shows that In us present condition it is a menace to navigation. It proves our argument that It is nec essary to restore the Jetty, even though the bar dredge, now under construc tion, will be completed next year. , "A survey Is necessary it we are 10 secure estimates with which to go be fore the coming Congress to ask for an appropriation. When the Government engineers declined to take it up, we applied to them to authorise such a sur vey at our own expense, and I am in Portland now endeavoring to get them to reconsider their decision of several days ago ana grant our requesu "Coos Bay now ships to ban tran- clsco annually more lumber than any other city on the Pacific Coast and the shlnments for 1813 will be nearly dou ble the amount shipped in the past year.

ESTERLY MAY LOSE OUT KAY AGAINST SPECIAL COUNSEL IX LAND-FRAUD SUITS. Inference Gained That Employment Is Plan to Pay for Work Done in Vice Crusade. SALEM. Or., Nov. 1. (Special.) That H. Jt. Esterly, special prosecutor for Governor West In Portland, will not have the privilege of appearing as SDecial counsel for the state in suits brought to cancel deeds in the alleged fraudulent Benson and Hyde land transactions, appears to be the senti ment of the majority of the members of the State Land Board, regardless of the fact that the Governor announced recently that Esterly would be given such employment. State Treasurer Kay said today that he is satisfied the matter of these can cellations is a question entirely under the Jurisdiction of the State Land Board, of which he, the Governor and the Secretary of State are members. The Inference has been gained by statements of many here since the Gov ernment announced the prospective em ployment of Esterly as special counsel that he is taking this plan of com pensating Esterly for the work which he is doing in the Governor's vice cru sade In Portland. Apparently there Is no provision by law further than an appropriation of 81000 for special agents, which Is practically exhausted, by which the Governor can remunerate Esterly for this vice crusade work, and Esterly probably would have to let his compensation go before the tender mercy of the Legislators, unless some? special berth was provided for him whereby he would receive additional compensation. Some take the Governor s move to be along this line. State Treasurer Kay assumes the attitude that the Attorney General should handle the cases, and that the state school fund should not be dipped into for special counsel when the state Is adequately equipped with salaried attorneys to do the work. The Attorney-General has been working on these cases for many months," said Treasurer Kay today. "I am In favor or nanaiing mem rainer than employ special counsel. I believe that is the way the Board will decide the question. The State Land Board has taken no action whatever in the employment of special counsel to han dle these, and. as far as I am con cerned, will take no such action. , The state school fund was not cre ated for the purpose of paying fees for special legal counsel."

ROOSEVELT -WILSON LEAD consensus or opinion is now xiiat President May Lose Hay State. Tacoma's JIayor Said to Have Switched Vrom Hodge. BY M. M. MATTISON. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 1. (Special.) A guerilla warfare against minor Republican candidates seems to be well under way throughout the state. Re ports to various headquarters here in dicate that the campaign managers are not taking chances on swinging through the complete tickets, but are fighting the weakest nominees wher ever they are found. This form of fight has the advantage not only of helping the men-supported. but also in weakening the entire Re publican -ticket and in helping- the movement to make state and county tickets follow the National vote. Betting odds and committees' reports indicate that the fight for the Presi dential electors in this state lies be tween Roosevelt and Wilson, with Taft an uncertain quantity. The Repub lican nominee might win, but the con sensus of opinion is that he will lose Washington. So the "wise" money that began coming out In larger quantities today, is for either Wilson or Roose velt State May Lead National. At the same time it Is admitted that the Republican Btate and county tickets throughout the state will run ahead of the National nominees, in some in stances running far a"head. Bull Moose leaders, in particular, are eager to elect members of the Legisla ture, while Democratic politicians seem to be paying more attention to county offices. Hence, the guerrilla warfare to defeat, wherever possible, the Re publican candidates. It leaked out today that Ole Hanson, former member of the Legislature and Bull Moose campaigner, who was driven into line yesterday for Bob Hodge, consented to make an indorsement speech for Hodge only after he had been threatened with the Bull Moose opposition in his campaign for United States Senator two years from now ir he refused longer to indorse the Bull Moose gubernatorial candidate. Taeoma'a Mayor Switches. Word came to "different headquarters that Mayor W. W. Seymour, of Tacoma, who was a Bull Moose earlier in the campaign, announced his switch from Hodge to Hay. A delegation of Democrats went from Seattle to Tacoma today to aid a Liu ter meeting. The original intention was to take a number of Taft supporters who favored Lister, but because of lack of organization or lack of Interest this was found not feasible, so a Demo cratic aelegation and a fife and drum corps was sent over. A big Republican meeting scheduled for noon Saturday was called off today out of courtesy to Vice-President James Schoolcraft Sherman, whose funeral is to occur at the hour the Republican meeting was to have been held. Edgar C. Snyder and K. C. Beaton, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the Bull Moose state committee, to night sent East their . prediction that Roosevelt would carry this state by 45,000 plurality. This Is the official Bull Moose election prediction. TAFT MAY LEAD IX 1 0 COUNTIES Reports From Southwestern Wash ington Show Favorites. ' BY W. A. RUPP. (Chairman Slate Republican Committee.) -ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 1. (Spe cial.) With the practical close of the campaign tonight Republicans, Bull Moose and Democrats are resting on their oars. The winduD has left all breathless throughout the ten counties comprising this quarter of the state, and while the last fe wdays have not been markea with any great display of party en thusiasm there has been a tenseness in the political atmosphere showing. de termination in the ranks of all three. So far as sentiment over the National election Is concerned. Taft and WUson are the favorites. ' Wilson has stronger Btanding in the river counties consist ing of Clark. Skamania, Cowlitz, Klick itat and Wahkiakum than he has else where, but here the population is sparce. Chehalis, Thurston, Lewis, Ma son and Pacific counties will go for Taft. This is not alone the prediction of prominent workers, but is the hon est opinion of voters of all parties, and a conclusion easily reached by a little gum-shoeing. . Taking the ten counties together Taft probably will lead Wilson by a round majority. So far as the state ticket situation is concerned It is all Hay. Lister never had a chance in this district. Hodge has been repudiated by a large number of the Bull Moose faction and Lister is receiving little of this shifting support. The state ticket goes with Governor Hay. Bets are made that Hay will run ahead of any on the - state or Na tional ticket not only in this district but in the entire state. Betting on the National ticke has been even money for Taf and scattering odds of 2 to 1 on Roosevelt. These latter have died outV however. There is little Wilson money offered but all has been taken so far. The closest race, agree leaders of all parties, will be between Albert Johnsqn. of Hoqulam, Republican, and Stanton Warburton, Bull Moose, candidates for Congress. Warburton is the only strong man on the Roosevelt Progressive ticket in this section. He is strong because he has a generous Pierce County vote behind him. and because of the fact that he is a member of Con gress. Johnson has been gaining rapid head way during tne past two weeks, and although it is difficult to state the exact status of this race it Is though: by most observers to be neck and neck with Johnson possibly a little in the lead. TRIAL ON SANS DEFENDANT Eugene Jury Listens to Evidence Which May Hold W. H. Teal. EUGENE, Or., Nov. 1. (Special.).
