LOST LONG

AND DIES
Motive
For SuiGide of L.
H. Belser Told by Wife
Went Back to Drink Af
ter Years of Struggle
' The loss of victory for the mastery
of himself - after u struggle, covering
several years is the motive advanced by
Mrs. Lawrence II. Belser, for the suicide
of her husband who died by his own
hand mi Inst Tuesday evening. For
years Reiser had struggled to overcome
an appetite for liquor formed while he
conducted a saloon in Kentucky. Tor
thirteen years he sueeedod in keeping
the enemy at bay only to give in in an
evil moment. Mrs. Belser has stated
that he repeatedly told her that should
he ever fall again that he would destroy
himself. While greatly grieved at the
news that her Inisbnnd had died a sui
cide, she was not at n loss for n motive
when she learned that he hail been
drinking.
The Wenateheo papers, in which city
lielser was councilman, all pay the
highest tributes to his character. He
had been active there for years in the
ranks of those opposed to the saloons,
though as one paper states few knew
the terrific battle surging within his
breast that spurred him on in the fight.
The motive is borne out. by the fact
(hat although Helser had been drinking
heavily for a week previous, he had but
very little liquor on Tuesday. He was
nervous and in a condition to realize
that, liquor hud gotten the best of him
and this led him to destruction by his
own hand.
Mrs. Helser took charge of the re
mains in Portland. They will be tak
en to Wenatchee for interment as soon
as Mrs. lielser can lenve the beside
of her son, who is in a Portland hospi

New York Business Man
Says Reversal of Fire
Will Improve the Present
Situation
Howard S. lieeside, president of the
American Security & Tmst eonmnny of
Xew York, arrived in this eit Sun lay
and will visit Outer lake b ore re
turning home. Mr. Roeside close'y i
in touch with business conditions
t hroughout 1 ho east and in discussing
them yesterday said:
' i believe the decision of Judge Lnn
dis against the Standard, Oil company
was practically the beginniug of the
long felt depression and panic that we
huvo passed through, and it is my opin
ion that the reversal of the decision
by a higher tribunnl will have a marked
effect upon the general linnnciul condi
tion of tho country.
"The .O.OOO.OOO fine gave a feeling
of unrest and insecurity to largo corpo
rations as a class, and the bottom drop
ped out of the market in couseipience.
I do not believe the fact that tho pres
ident is going to push the matter fur
ther will have much effect upon the
ma rk et.
"If t he decision of Judge Land is
had been upheld by the higher court
we would have seen a great slump in
prices, but as.it is there seems to be
little quest ion that the market is on
the upward trend. The small and large
investors are coming into the market
and bonds are being absorbed daily.
This latter 1 particularly notice, and it
is to nie the most eucottritging sign of
prosperity, for it indicates that invest
ors ami conservative financial ilistit u
lions and individuals are entering the
buying field. It looks to me as if we
were facing a bull market. While 1
do not look for runaway bull market,
I believe that we are standing up a
better foundation I hau we have had
for some time, for no one can dney that
this is a bumper crop year.
' ' I am conservatively opt i mist ic on
the general situation, and believe that
we shall se a steady but gradual rise
in nil securities id' real value. A fea
ture which is striking and which must
carry a great deal of weight for t he
investor and speculator is the crop sit
uation. It is gratifying to note t hat
the wheal crop will be the best in years.
I 'pon all these, points which certainly
are of vital interest I base my expecta
tions of a rise in securities and in the
general prosperity of the count ry at
large."

Railroad Magnate Wires
Local Office For Infor
mation Regarding Road
to Crater Lake
If telegrams received by the local
office of the Southern Pacific this
morning'are uuy criterion, Edward H.
arriman, the railroad magnate will be
. i Med ford in t he near future. He
wireu today for information regarding
the road to Crater lake from this city
and lis condition for travel by automo
bile. He was advised that the roads
were in good shape and thai the trip
could be made in eight hours.
Some time ago Mayor lieddy invited
Mr. llarrimau to Medford and was ad
vised that tho trip to Oregon was to
be made for pleasure only. " However,"
concluded the message, "Medford ih not
out of reach of Pelicau Bay."
Cpon his arrival at Klamath Falls
Mr. Harriman had thu following to say
to the chamber of commerce of that
eity:
"I had no intimation of this recep
tion until I steppi-d from the boat and
unfortunately no one has put on paper
for me what I ought to say. Nothing
gives me more pleasure than to please
the people.
"When 1 stepped from the boat and
was presented with a petition request
ing that 1 attend this reception I must
confess that I was weary. 1 realized
that in additou to wanting the railroad
you also need country roads, and my
advice to the people of this country is
to construct good roads. 1 hopu that
by autumn the railroad will bo com
pleted to a point where connection
will be made with water transporta
tion and by nevt sprint it will certainly
be completed into the city.
But when
this t done if the railrods but ween
this city and the upper country ure not
improved, I assure you that you will not
see much id' Harriman or Harriman's
friends. I do not say this in a sense
of criticism or faultfinding, but simply
in the nature of friendly advice. The
people whom vou would have come here
expect irood roads. Thev are used to
them and expect them ami are willing
to pay for them, and one of the ilrst
things you want to do is to see that they
gel I hem. I have always believed in
Oregon, and particularly this part of it
will be a resort in the summer similar
to what southern California is in the
winter, and you all know what the sec
tion around Los Angeles is. This has
been made possible through the great
improvements made in Hint part of
California by the people there.
"When I landed from the boat 1 was
handed a paper containing an article in
which reference was made to "Harri
man methods.' 1 urn afraid that neither
you nor the writer of thai article really
k now what Harrimans met hods are,
Utid 1 believe that if the matter is given
closer scrutiny they will not be con
sidered in the same light t hat some
l"'"df
pic would have you believe. On
loser acipiaintance you will Ibid t hat
the Harriinaii m.-thods endeavor to be
reliable and are, I believe, as reliable
as the people of Klamath Falls."

Thirty Passengers Taken
From Burning Steamer
in Midocean-Many Are
Lost
LONDON, August 10. The timely ar
rival of tho British steamer luiogeno
saved from death many passengers on
board the Dutch ship Amstcllnud, which
caught fire off the coast of South Afri
ca on August (), according to a message
received by Lloyd s ugoncy today. A
number were drowned, but exact fig
ures are not given.
The passengers of the Aiuslelland
were in a wild panic and many more
undoubtedly would havo jumped over
board if the Imogeno had not appeared
just in time.
Lifeboats were lowered front the Im
ogeno and most of the passengers from
tho Ainstelland were taken aboard the
Britisher, while fighting apparatus was
transferred to the endangered ship and
i assistance given in fighting tho flames.
The fhe was extinguished without
serious damage to the Ainstelland, and
after I he excitement passed the pas
sengers were returned to the Dutch ship,
which was able to proceed ou its voy
age. I'he main danger was m the panic
'and it is believed that if none of the
passengers hud jumped there would have
been no casualties.

SULTAN
HAS NEW
Worrying Over the Thous
ands of Prisoners Re
cently Freed -Reunited
Families Are Rejoicing
CONSTANTINOPLE, August 10.
Although tho secession of Tabriz from
Persia and her declaration of allegi
ance to Turkey has temporarily attract
ed the attention of Turkey to tho now
esl situation in the recent political
changes in this quarter of tho globe,
the sultan is worried ovor alarming con
ditions in other sections of his empire.
Swarming out from jails and back
from banishment under protection of
the amnesty which accompanied tho sul
tan 's grant of a constitution, thousands
of long imprisoned or long exiled Turks
are today spreading torror and joy
throughout their country.
Although the amnesty was designed
to cover political offenses alouo, jailers
were disposed to interpret it liberally
and anyone who could pay a pittance
was turned loose.
Tho political prisoners woro tho flow
er of the country, nnd Turkey will ben
efit from their liberation, but many
outlaws were liberated and nro roving
over tho country. Orders have been
issued in several districts to shoot male
factors on sight.
In Macedonia the sttuat ioa 1b still
strained. Trouble is threatened be
tween the Young Turkish party, which
wants no foreign interference in Turk
ish affairs, and representatives of the
powers.
The commanders of tho Aus-
"Inn g''"d'irmio at Uskub have refused
point blank to leave the country with
their forces and a conflict is imminent
between (heir forces nnd the Young
Turks.
Tho Young Turks in Macedonia dis
trus Abdul Humid 11 and will be sat-

"'t n serious demonstration against the
Sultan in Macedonia will result in a
j reaction against the Young Turks.
I " paciiy tne loung
Turks, the Sultan has sent KeutshouK
to Macedonia to explain the new con-
"litution. Everything possible will be
I done to allay tho fear on thu part of
the Empire, as it is recognized that
