TT THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. - TORTLAND, : JUNE 26, lgiO. SENATORIAL FIGHT WILL BE AVOIDED Washington Republican Con vention Will Also Ignore the Prohibition Jssue. CAUCUSES NOT POSSIBLE King County Committee Will Ap point, as Funds Are Not Availa ble for Other Method Jjetter Written, by Chairman. SEATTLE, June 25. (Special) Chairman R. S. Terhune, of the King County Republican central committee,, has written a letter to L. H. Gray, president of the John L. Wilson Sena torial club, throwing light on the dec! sion of the committee to appoint the 162 delegates to the state judicial nom inating convention at Tacoma, August . The action of the county commit tee was unanimous, and was taken after consultation with James . Hoge, state chairman. The reason lies in a lack of funds to hold caucuses, pri maries and county convention. . Mr. Terhune says: "We estimate that this would cost In the neighborhood of V2S00, and al though we have made an effort to get subscriptions for this purpose, we have not met with any success. If ;ou, or ' anybody interested, can suggest any legitimate means for raising this money the central committee will be very glad to Issue a call for caucuses and primaries for the selection of dele gates to a county convention. Unless money can be raised, it will be impos sible to hold the county convention, and It will be incumbent on . the central committee to appointed the delegates. "In the selection of these delegates the county precinct men and all Re publicans In the different wards and districts will be consulted by the sev eral committeemen for the different wards and districts, so that all Repub licans will be consulted "before the ap pointmehts are made. Fight Has Xo Bearing. "It might be well to suggest that we do not see how the Senatorial candi dacy of Judge Burke, John I Wilson or John E. Humphries has any bearing upon the selection of the delegates to the state convention, and in the selec tlon of the candidates the central com mittee will not take into consideration the aspirations of these gentlemen. "We would further state that we will welcome any suggestions from any Re publicans in King County, but we do not propose to consult any Democrats or near-Democrats In the appointment of delegates to the Republican state convention." Most of the other counties of the state will follow the example set by King, and leave the appointment of delegates to the county committee. A conspicuous exception is Thurston County, where, it is reported, there is a strong "dry" sentiment and a determi nation to send a "dry" delegation to Tacoma. Chairman Terhune has en countered similar opposition in this county, from a number of Republicans In the North End who would hold convention with the object of naming delegates who would be expected to agitars- prohibition, or the "county unit," at the state convention, with the object of securing the insertion of strong temperance plank in the plat form. The Royal Arch, under President Manning, of Everett, is alive to the situation, and is keeping a close watch The Intention is to hold the state con vention to a strict declaralon of Re publican principles, including an in dorsement of the T.ft administration without any juggling of temperance sentiment, or any reference to senator ial politics. This solution is said to be satisfactory to all candidates. It will permit a definition of what constitutes Republicanism, and it probably will have the effect of reading Congressman Foindexter, now a senatorial aspirant, out or the party. "Blind Pig" Is Fought. in Koyai Arcn is waging war aaglnst the "blind pig." It is directing its energies to the towns, and for most part Is leaving the rural communltie alone. Conditions in Okanogan, Clallam and Kitsap are reported as satisfactory. In Kitsap, for example, Charleston went "dry," while Bremerton remain "wet" and since Charleston will soon be annexed to. Bremerton, the victory . lies wltn the "wets." That a drastic liquor measure is to be made an issue is indicated by Gov ' ernor Hay. In a letter to the State Grange he says: "I am in favor of the county unit for local option, with the possible exceo tlon of eliminating cities of the' first class from the county unit. Counties in which there are cities of the first class would have two units; and as further restriction upon this traffic expect 10 recommend 10 ine next leg lsiature to pass a Din confining th sale of liquor to daylight hours only in such communities where Its sale is permitted by law. Undoubtedly this attitude, where! the Governor represents a large num -fcer of citizens, has stirred the Royal Arch. The liquor men are apparently anxious to acquire a good reputation. President Manning says: "The Royal Arch was organized In conscientious effort to Improve saloo conditions. Give us another year, and we will place the business on a footing in xnis Biaie insi is mcomparaDly bet ter than anywhere else. We know that we are In danger of attack from those . who do not want to obey the law,, but we can ias.e care or tnat situation. We know, that we are subject to an noyance from those who think that the voting-out of saloons disposes liquor sales; and we know that it does not. If we can carry on the reform movement In our own ranks. I am con vlnced that we will accomplish more than any reform movement outside th business couia ever nope to accom pllsh." Under the circumstances, there is disposition to. keen the temperance question in the background, so far as the Judicial nominating convention 1 concerned. The meaning probably is that the work of the. Tacoma gathering will be restricted closely to the duty of selecting Republican candidates for the five positions on the Supreme bench.

BESULT IS CERTAIN Dickinson Says ; Ballinger Will Be Vindicated. ATTACKS CALLED BRUTAL PRICE HUSHED TO SOUTH ALLEGED FORGER LOSES FIGHT FOR LIBERTY IN OREGON. ' Mandamus Proceedings and Kid? naplng Charges Fail to Hold. California Gets Prisoner. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., June 25. (Spe cial.) Although George L, Price, the telephone promoter who is charged with forgery, is now. on his way to San Fran cisco, having left here this morning under shackles, in charge of Detective Lord, the trouble which came out of his arrest and the attempt to hold him for the California officers has apparently only begun. An attempt was made to start man damus proceedings to prevent the Sheriff turning the prisoner over to the California officer, but the attorney was 10 minutes late In getting his papers filed. He then tried to secure a warrant for the arrest of a detective on - the charge of kidnaping. but this paper could not be prepared until after the train had left with the officer and prisoner. The attorney now declares action will be filed against Dis trict Attorney Kuykendall and Sheriff Barnes charging them with aiding in kidnaping Price. He says he will act only in the interest of fair play be cause the officers filed the local charge of conducting a lottery against Price and took him before the grand Jury simply to hold him until the California officer could arrive. . The attorney says the requisition papers were of no effect, though they were signed by the Oregon Governor until the grand jury had acted 'upon this charge. Kuykendall states that he acted under the order of the Governor. The District Attorney Is not worrying about any charge which may be brought against him for being a participant in kidnaping Price.

' "I shall snend four days in Japan and go from the Orient to the Occi dent by way of the railroad across Siberia, visiting St. Petersburg, Lon don and other cities of Europe. "There is but one way for the Bal linger-Plnchot investigation to turn out. Secretary Ballinger will be com pletely vindicated,- said Secretary Dickinson, speaking of National ar fairs. "There has not been a scintilla of evidence to prove any of the charges against him. "Judge Ballinger has made good emphatically as . Secretai y- ot the In terior. He has proved himself patient under senseless and brutal attacks, a man of self-control and courage and a roost capable adviser to tne presi dent. He is highly esteemed In Wasn-lngton. '"President Taft'a programme for legislation has been carried out and his pledges to the people redeemed. Now that the railroad bill has passed, the financial situation should quickly be simplified. The railroads will be in much better shape than before to carry out their enterprises. There is every Indication that we will have continued prosperity and that the confidence of the investing public in railroad securi ties will be improved and maintained, so that the railroads and the people of the country can go about their busi ness.

That property sometimes comes to public off! cera unsought is shown by the fact that Sheriff Smith, of Linn County, is now the unwilling possessor of seven dogs. How to give away the canines before the City of Albany collects a dog tax on them is a problem that la beginning to cause him loss of sleep- Some time ago an old bachelor ' was committed to the State Insane Asylum and bequeathed to the Sheriff hie dog. Smith didn't want the animal, but would not let it starve, so kept It at the Coun ty Jail. He finally gave it away to farmer for whom its former owner had worked but the dog developed a strong proclivity tor sucking eggs and was re turned to the Sheriff. A few days ago a litter of six pups arrived. The puppies do not appear to belong to any particular strain or canines but are just plain dogs and as their maternal ancestor has no reputation for anything but sucking eggs, tmerirr Smith, despite the. fact that he Is a skillful talker and good politician, has failed In all efforts to get anybody about the Courthouse to take the canines off his nands.

The - bishop's experiences reached back to the days of Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, with whom the movement as it now exists in the Anglican church began. He was of the opinion that good results would follow their use in this country,, and in our own day, if only the difficulty of securing trustworthy mlssioners in sufficient numbers were overcome.

DATTON, Wash.. June 23. (Special.) With the advent of the combine harves ter, replacing the steamer and horse power harvesting outfits In the wheat fields of Eastern Oregon and Washington, this is becoming an age of specialties among harvest hands. The time when untried youths and city folk seeking out ings could take the place of a good band around a machine, are gone forever, and men not familiar with the mechanism and workings of the combine are no longer wanted by farmers In this part of the country. Of the seven men required to operate a combine machine, at least six must have expert knowledge of their work. There must be a man o drive from 24 to 30 head of horses, four abreast, who must be an adept at handling horses; the header man and separator tender must be thorough machinists; the sack "lacers" must be experts, too, as well as the manager of the crew. With the pass ing of the old-time harvesting outfits which required only such unskilled labor ers as hoe-downs, straw stackers, header wagon drivers, loaders, sack jigs, water haulers, firemen and roustabouts, the death knell is sounded for unskilled labor. If the transition seems a hardship to the laboring man, the change has not been without Its lasting benefits. Harvest hands are now paid the wages due ex perts from $3 to $6 and even 37 a day. In time, so the farmers think, this will no doubt entirely eliminate the nomadic harvest hordes of the years gone by tramps, shiftless and undependable work ers and a few good men who followed, the course of harvest from Southern Oregon on through the Touchet, Walla Walla, Snake River, Palouse and North Idaho countries. STORY IS NOT BORNE OUT Salt Lake Girl Falls to Prove Tale She Told Police.

The girl failed to substantiate this story when she was on the witness stand and finally admitted that her right name was Erma Johnson, and that she had left Salt Lake several weeks ago with Andrew Morphis, the Greek proprietor of a coffee house. Morphis and the girl, who said she was 18 years of age but looked older, have been living in Portland several days. - Advices received from Salt Lake by the police last, night are to the effect that Morphis is being sought there on a charge of abduction preferred by the girl's mother soma time ago. The girl's first statement that members of her family had offered a reward of $1000 for her has not been borne out. LIVING COST TO COST WAR Tacoma Hotel Men and Produce "Wholesalers In Controversy. TACOMA. Wash., June 25. The hotel and restaurant men of this city and the produce wholesalers are on the verge of Industrial war.
