OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 16. After an
exciting scene on a train passing
through this city, W. R. Hearst, the
4,angel" of the Independence party,
was served with papers today In a
Buit for $600,000 damages brought
against him by Chas. N. Haskell,
governor of Oklahoma and former
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee. An oillcer boarded the
train and found Hearst's stateroom
locked. Mrs. Hearst . announced
through the keyhole that her hus
band had gone out to send a tele
gram. The otllcer ref sed to believe
this and forced open the door. As he
fell inside of the room, Mrs. Hearst,
half dressed, rushed out Into the
aisle and Bcieamed. Then she kick
ed violently on the door of the toilet
adjoining the stateroom and Hearst
appeared and accepted service.
Haskell's suit was filed at 11
o'clock last nieht. It is based on the
statements made by Hearst that Has
kell is an agent of the Standard Oil
Co. This and similar statements

Atlanlic Iluttlchhip Fleet in Yoko
hama Tomorrow.
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 16. Side bv
side with the brilliant standards of
the Mikado, the Stars and Stripes are
today floating from ten thousand
buildings and flagstaffs in Yokohama,
waving a greeting to the mighty fleet
of American battleships that will in
a few hours enter the harbor. A half
million dollars will be expended In
the entertainment of the men of
the fleet during their stay in Japan,
and the great popular demonstration
will doubtless forever set at rest the
alarmist reports regarding the alleg
ed Japanese hostility to America and
Americans.
Drawn up In a great battle line of
welcome the monster battleships that
are the pride of Nippon will greet
the incoming American fleet with a
booming salute. For the last month
almost the entire Japanese navy has
been engaged in imposing maneuvers,
and the program of the morrow will
be the final feature of this extensive
naval practice. The sight of the navy
of Nippon, decorated In its holiday
attire, meeting and greeting the great
fleet from across the seas, will doubt
less be one of the most Imposing
naval spectacles that the world has
ever known in time of peace.
In regard to tomorrow's display of
Japan's naval strength, there is a
general feeling that If this ostensibly
Innocent demonstration does not
leave a wholesome impression on her
visitors, it at least can do no more
harm that that provided by the ap
pearance of the American fleet. The
American demonstration on the Pa
cific has been Interpreted here as a
supposed object lesson to the world,
and Japan has confessed her willing
ness to accept it as such; but Japan's
own unpretentious exhibition of what
her navy can do will be for the sake
of those with whom her interests
are more Immediately concerned.

ANGORA GOATS I .OREGON.
la a communication published In
a recent number of the Breeders'
Gazette, S. F. Zysset, of Linn county,
Oregon,, says:
"Angora goats are profitable in
the production of mohair, and on the
Pacific coast it is generally conceded
that they are more profitable than
sheep on account of their natural
habits of continually moving whllo
feeding. They never are injurious to
pastures as sheep are In killing or
eating out pastures, and any other
stock will follow and feed after them,
while I have seen stock almost starve
after sheep, it is also a fact that
they will Improve a range or make
more grass grow In any pasture
where there is more or less brush or
browse. They are profitable in com
parison with sheep or the same
amount of money Invested In any
other stock In that three Angora
goats will do as well under similar
conditions as one sheep. Where there
is more browse the difference Is
greater according to the amount of
brush.
"I have seen any number of small
flocks of Angoras In the Willamette
valley of Oregon that never receive
any feed other than what they rustle
during the year. 1 think they are
more profitable than sheep because
they are all profit. They make their
own pasture out of brush land that
will not Bupport any other stock ex
cept after the goats have killed the
brush. I have seen the best of pas
tures produced with their aid and
think they are duly entitled to their
board without charge. So far- as
Intelligence and activity are con
cerned, I have seen Angoras perform
acts that were almost human In some
respects. Those who know nothing
about goats may think I am exagger
ating. If so they had butter get a
few goats to start with and become
acquainted with them. Try and
range them alongside your apple or
chard, grain field or truck garden
and I think you . will very readily
agree with me."

ON GOTHENBURG PLAN.
Exclusive Liquor Franchise Asked i
for t hy of Mcdfortl.
MEDFORD. Or.. Oct. 15. At a
special meeting of the city council
this afternoon an ordinance was in
troduced at the request of W. L.
Vaughn, of Portland, for the snle
to the Medford Gothenburg Associa
tion of the exclusive right to sell
liquor within the corporate limits of
Medford for a period of ten years, be
ginning ou October 1, 1909; for
$f5,000, to be paid at the rate of
$r000 for the first five years and ,
$G000 the second five. I
At the present time there are nine1
saloons here, but under the rules of
the association there will be but six,
and the rules of the association pro
vide for strict regulations.
Mr. Vaughn states that the plan as
provided by the Gothenburg Associa
tion has worked admirably wherever
tried.
The Gothenburg Plan.
In connection with the above dis
patch, the Medford Tribune says edi
torially: The most satisfactory solution of
tho liquor problem the world has yet
seen Is the Gothenburg system, which
had Its origin in Gothenburg, Swed
en. It is In general use in Sweden,
Norway, Finland, Switzerland and
other European countries.
Under the Gothenburg plan a com
pany Is granted a monopoly of the
sale of liquors In the town. Man
agers at fixed snlarles are placed lu
the public houses, nnd after paying
fixed expenses and a regular divid
end, the towns securo the balance.
In Medford, a regular license will be
paid In advance instead of a per
centage of prollls.
In tho places where tho system has
been tried, the number of saloons Ik
decreased, the laws more rigidly en
forced, for failure to observe regular
tions renders the franchise liable u.
forfeiture.
The proposed Medford law pro
vides a ten-year contract for $r5.
000 to be paid for at the rate of
$;i00 a year for five years, and $t000
a year for the second five years. The
number of saloons is limited to bIx
and the district in which- they arc
located Is limited. No noisy conduct
Is to be tolerated, no minors sold
liquor, no women permitted entrance.
Hutoous nro to close Sundays, and no
gambling Is to be permitted. A $10,
000 bond Is to be given as guarantee
of conduct.
The chief benefit that would result
to Medford from such a system as
that proposed Is that It would settle
at once and for all the liquor prob
I em, put the saloon out of politics
stop the factional fight now In pro
gress bet wren prohibitionists nnd
antl-prohlbitlonists, and enable the
people to concentrate their energy
and efforts for the common good. In
stead of wasting them In endless
squabbles.
Everything In tho bounds of rea
son that a lover of law and order
could demand seems to be provided
by the Gothenburg system. The evil
and objectionable features of tho sa
loon are eliminated, yet persona!
liberty Is not Infringed.
(It Is probable that the supreme
court decision, now pending, on the
local option election by which Jack
son county was voted dry last June,
will put Medford dry, beyond the
reach of the Gothenburg or any other
lawful system.)

the oldest and best known families
of the state, was arrested today by
the Federal authorities on a charge
of emboszlement. The arrest fol

NEW YORK, Oct. 16. The an
nouncement was made today that
llainpton'B Broadway Magazine will
publish In Its forthcoming November
number letters thnt passed between
President Roosevelt nnd Win. H.
Taft relative to the republican presi
dential nomination lu which Roose
velt declined to advise Taft what
course to take. One lottor written
by Taft expresses his preference for
the Biipreme bench, but says that
"circumstances seemed to have Im
posed upon him a triiHt that he
could not disregard." In ropMy,
llnnHovelt told III in that there were
strong arguments against him taking
the Justiceship, one of which was be
cnuso ho thought Taft had the best
chnnce of being nominated for the
presidency. The letter concludes
with this statement: "No one with
wisdom can advise you."
Roosevelt's letter la dated March
10, 1908, and Taft replied four
months Inter while In Quebec Can
ada, saying that his chief reason for
hesitating to accept ine appointment
to tho supreme bench waB the condi
tion of the war department. Taft
wanted to remain In order to carry
out hlB policies relative to the Philip
pines, adding:
"I know that few, If any, even
among my friends, will credit me
with anything, but I desire to be
unconscious of such a fact If I run
for tho presidency. Circumstances
seem to have Imposed something In
tho nature of a trust which I could
not discharge by now succeeding
Justice ltrown."
