"NegliDt and Incompetent"
Verdict in Uaas Case
THREE OFFICERS TO SUFFER
Heney to Undergo Second Operation
Rockefeller Admits Railroad
Interests
Special to the Evening Review.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 24. The
verdict rendered late yesterday at
the Inquest of Morris Haas, the
would-be assassin of Francis J. Hen
ey, censures the police for allowing
Haas to commit suicide. The ver
dict, In part reads:
"We find from numerous witnesses
that gross negligence and Incompe
tency wns shown by the police and
other officials having In charge the
searching of the prisoner in not prop
erly safeguarding the best interests
of the people, thus making It pos
sible for the prisoner to secrete on his
person the derringer with which he
committed suicide."
The verdict deplores the feeling of
animosity between the police and the
district attorney's office and sug
gests that Mayor Taylor make an in
vestigation of this.
As the result of the verdict, Chief
of Police Illggy will file charges of
neglect against Capt. Thomas Duke,
Detective Sergeant Tom Burke and
Patrolman John Kohl, who failed to
search Haas thoroughly in his cell.
The prisoner was allowed, at his own
request, to keep on his shoes, and in
one of the shoes Haas is alleged to
have secreted the derringer. The
three accused officers assert, how
ever, that the weapon was banded to
Haas by some unknown person.

NEW YORK. Nov. 24. At his
cross-examination today, John D.
Rockefeller, when asked if he could
name the railroads in which he is In
terested, replied:
"I am quite sure I could, but I am
quite certain that those gentlemen
from the stock exchange back there
(pointing to the rear of the court
room) will think me foolish if 1 an
nounce my investments publicly."
Inquisitor Kellogg Insisted, bow

he held bonds and stocks in the lead

several of these concerns.

N HUD
Turkey Shipments This Year
Will Total 15,000 Head
PRICE HIGHEST IN 12 YEARS
Value of Other Poultry Added Brings to
Growers Golden Harvest of
About $45,000 '
Shipments' of turkeys from Douglas
County this year will probably not ex
ceed a total of 15,000 head, against
about i20.000 .last year. For the
Thanksgiving trade,' -the shipments
havfl aggregated about 10,000 head,
and it is 'estimatnd by local dealers j
that not .over3Q00 more wilt follow
for Christinas and New Year's. Early
in the Beason in September 3200
head of the choice holiday birds
were shipped out of the county to
Portland and thence to the Philip
pines as part of an order from the
government to supply the troops sta
tioned in the islands. This consign
ment was made by R. G. Young &
Co., of Oakland, who. this year, as
usual, lead all other Individual ship
pers in the county.
The shortage of turkeys this year
is ascribed to an unfavorable Beason
for their propagation. The price re
ceived by the growers, however, Is
on oil average of 4 cents per pound
more than pain last year, and the
highest in 12 years. Choke birds,
dre?eed, brought as high as 22
centy per pound for Thanksgiving
trade and the price may go even
higher for' the Christmas shipments.
One dealer says there were nearly as
many turkeys raised this year in the
county as In 1907, hut that the grow
eis are holding a larg? portion of
them back, with the expectation of
getting still fancier prices during the
December demand.
On deliveries closed this week and
during September for. the Philippine
shipment, growers were paid on an
average of 2.25 per head. Figur
ing that this rate will prevail during
the December deliveries, the sum of
nearly $35,000 will have been dis
bursed among the growers for out
side shipments during the year. To
this must be added the value of about
2500 turkeys which will be consumed
at home either on Thanksgiving or
the later holidays, and a large quan
tlty of ducks, geese and chickens
which go to meet holiday require
ments. This will bring the total
revenue up to a figure ranging close
around the 845,000 mark, unap-
proached by any other county In the
state.
To the shipments for the Thanks
giving trade. Oakland shinned about
4500 and Roseburg contributed about
.1200 birds, while perhaps 2000 more
were consigned from Yoncalla and
Drain. In the Oakland shipments
were some 1200 head raised at Myr
tle Creek, Kiddle and Canyon vllle.
From Roseburg, the biggest consign
ment was made by Harness & John
son, grocers, 1700 head, and they
estimote that they will ship fully 800
more In December. George Kohl
hagen, the butcher, sent away 1200
head during the past week and he
expects to ship as many more for the
Christinas and New Year trade. Max
Weiss, grocer, supplied 250 head of
turkeys for the Philippine order in
September, but shipped only 100
head for the Thanksgiving market.
Ky & Co., grocers, consigned 300
head and the llunsaker-Guest Gro
cery Company shipped 100 more. The
last three named will probably not
ship more than GOO turkeys In all
during December.
Most of the turkeys found their
way Into the markets In San Fran
cisco and Portland. A large batch
went to Tacoma, while about 2000
head were consigned to Oakland,
Calif., which city will be the head
quarters of a large territory in the
distribution of turkeys among thr
employes of the Wells, Fargo Express
Company.

VI' TO OREGON lKKKJATION.
Ownership of Oregon City Ixukri Now
KttH With Congress.
PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 23. The
last spike has been driven, so far as
any action by the engineering author
ities can be taken In advance of con
gress making the necessary appro
priation for the government owner
ship of the locks and canal at Oregon
City. Major MeAdoo is completing
his report on the basts cost of labor
and materials to supplement the re
port of the board of engineers for
merly made, and it will be forwarded
this week to the chief engineers at
Washington.
"This means," said Colonel Hofer,
who, as chairman of the Willamette
Valley Open Ulver association, hnB
been pushing the preliminaries all
along the lino, "that when congress
meets all the official data and engin
eering information will be officially
at the disposal of congress on which
to base an appropriation. It will be
up to our delegation to secure the
proper clause In the rivers and har
bors bill that Is going to be put
through at this session to mnke avail
able the money already appropriated
by the state and whatever else is
necessary to secure the locks and
canal and make them forever free to
the people.
"Free locks and canal on the Wil
lamette means a reduction of from
$7.50 to $25 on every car load of
freight that comes In or out of the
valley, because the 50 cents a ton toll
collected at the falls of the Willam
ette by a private corporation is added
and absorbed as a differential by all
railroads handling freight in that ter
ritory. I am assured by the steam
boat companies doing business on the
river that they will Immediately re
duce their tariffs 50 cents a ton when
the locks are made free.
"There will not only bo a large
number of new boats put on tho up
per river, but the money spent for
keeping an open channel In the Wil
lamette will be doing the poople some
good. A large amount of trafllo that
is now Impossible on account of the
prohibitive tolls will be created, such
as piling, sawlogs, railroad ties, cord
wood and building materials like
brick.
"Many owners of land will be able
to clear the same and put the cord
wood Into Portland on barges, reduc
ing the cost of fuel at Portland pot,
sibly from one to two dollars per
cord, as the fuel will more than pay
tho cost or clearing the land. The
people of tho Willamette Valloy re
joice at every step taken In tho direc
tion of their commercial freedom.
but In nothing more than the posslb
illty of free locks."
