ROOSEVELT "MAN IIKIIIM)'
'ITTSHl'KG EXPOSURE.
Corporations Also Aid, Holding Such
i.ourse to ix t'licuiicr Than
Paying Extortions.
PITTSBURG. Pa.. Dec. 27. Presl
dent Roosevelt Is "the man behind'
the Pittsburg councilmanic graft ex
posure. This fact was admitted to
night by Rev. Dr. J. Leonard Levey,
vice-president of tbe Voters' Civic
League.
Roosevelt, according to Dr. Levey,
acted In response to a personal call
two weeks ago from a committee of
officials of the voters' league. On
the same train with members of the
committee who had called on the
president came six national bank ex
aminers to this city sent at the
president's request to aid in the brib
ery "cleanup." It is said the presi
dent offered to send a siiecial proBe
cuter here, as be did to San Fran
cisco, but this was not found neces
sary. In Attorney David Watson, a
close friend of the president, Roose
velt thinks the probers have the best
legal talent In the country.
That Mr. Roosevelt Iff interested
in the Voters' league Is indlcnted
from the fact that In an incredibly
short time the machinery of the Fed
eral government was in motion. In
less than a week after the arrival
here of the bank examiners the arrest
of the seven councllmen and two for
mer bankers was brought about.
And this is to be but the beginning
of ultra-sensational moves.
A sensational story Is going the
rounds today that the Pennsylvania
Railroad and other big Industrial
and financial interests are also back
of the councilmanic bribery expose.
It was said that corporations were
pur. to such an expense in getting
through any legislation for improve
ment and extensions that they decid
ed it would be cheaper to Bpend aj
large sum in ousting all the grafters
than it would be to pay them their
price.
It Is said the Pennsylvania Rail
road within the coming year hnB
some great Improvements planned,
permission to complete which will re
quire ordinances to be put through
the city councils.

Cottage Grove Heads Move
ment For New County
EDCENE TAKES BROAD VIEW
Boundary Mapped Oat Takes Id Drain,
Yoncalla and Gardiner From
This County Needs Kol "
Looked Alter
EUGENE, Or., Dec. 27. A move
ment has been art on foot by the peo
ple of Cottage Grove to form a new
county with that city as the county
seat.
It is proposed that the lino should
cross the Middle Fork of the Mc
Kenzio, run near Goshtn and thence
west to the present boundary of the
county. .This would leave the lllue
River Mining country in Lane, while
the present Bohemia district, In both
Lane and Douglas, would be included
within the boundaries of the new
county.
from the Bohemia district in
Douglas the line would run west to
the coast and Include within the lim
its of the proposed Bohemia county
the towns of Yoncalla, Drain and
Gardiner, all of which are at present
In Douglas county.
KiiKeiie 1" Willing.
Commenting upon this movement.
the Eugene Guard says:
The people who have dtsctisRCd the
new move believe that a division Is
inevitable, If not during the coming
year at least in less than four years.
They think that both the people at
uoseimrg and here In Eugene would
readily give up a part of their coun
ties to them. The only difficulty they
seem to apprehend is the location of
the new boundaries.-
Rather than fight for the division.
as the people of Hood River did, they
with lo conciliate both Douglas and
Lane county people, . and for that
matter have bronrhed the subject to
a number of Eugene people. Busi
ness men at Cottnge Grove want the
help of Eugene Influence, and pur
pose to arrange an amicable agree
ment between Cottage Grove and Eu
gene business nu n.
With the help of (he representa
tives of Lane county ard Douglas
county they think the divLon cm
easily be made In the next legislat
ure, and that there will bu no need
to attempt the Inltlr.J e.
The great betterment that Is ex
pected is in the administration of
the district affected. It Is said that
with a smnller executive distrct much
better roads would he built In all
three districts and that greater at
tention would be paid to the vital In
terests of the district.
The name for the new county has
not yet been decided upon, but In
ense a unit is formed It would prob
ably be Bohemia.

When the fun started at 1 p. m. the
floor was crowded, and the wives and
sweethearts of the members tilled the
gallery. Hundreds of bags of confetti
were tossed from the rostrum. Next
came a tmower of tin horns, followed
by rolls of multicolored tape and a
deluge of balloons. Every one was hit
with something, and the heavier the
Hmiults the greater the fun. A brl
gado stormed the gallery with con
fetti and balloons, and the screams of
laughing women sounded above the
hoarse mnr on the floor.
