WASHINGTON MAN DECLARES
HEARING OF EVIDENCE
' CHANGED MIND '
COLLOQUY WITH SMITH EXCITING
Perjury On Both Sides Admitted and
Lawsuit Involving Husband
And Wife Is Men
tioned WASHINGTON, July 10. When
the Senate took up the Lorimer case
today it was indicated that a vote
would be reached tomorrow.
Senator Johnson, the first speaker,
condemned as "un-Christian and un
American" Colonel Roosevelt's course
in declining to sit with Senator Lori
mer at the Hamilton Club's dinner at
Chicago.
Senator Jones, of Washington, who
opposed Lorimer at the first trial, but
who supports him now, said he had
changed his conviction because he had
personally heard the witnesses
against Lorimer. He complained of
public clamor in the case and charg
ed it of having too much influence
in determining the votes of Senators.
, iThis statement aroused William
Alden Smith, of Michigan, who con
fessed to irritation as to what he
characterized as covert and insinuat
ing intimations in the press in sup
port of Mr. Lorimer that those in op
position are lacking honesty and cour
age and are subject to influence by
public clamor.
Senator Jones denied any intention
of criticising the attitude of others,
but asserted there had been too much
effort to control public sentiment in
opposition to Lorimer. He admitted
there also had been perjury on both
sides.
The two Senators discussed the evi
dence at some length .and Mr. Smith
finally referred to the recent lawsuit
brought in Chicago by John Henning
against Clarence Funk, general man
ager of the International Harvester
Company, in which Henning charged
Funk with alienation of his wife's af
fections. Henning lost his case and his wife
is said to have confessed that the
charge was a conspiracy to injure
Funk for his testimony against Lori
mer. Senator Smith said he thought
the suit had been brought to affect
the Lorimer case.
References to perjury brought out
a vigorous statement from Senatoi
Jones. He expressed the opinion
that the money distributed by Lee
O'Neil Browne had been contributed
by "whiskey interests."
"There is no positive evidence,-' but
from the record it is the most prob
able theory as to where the money
came from,'5' he said.
"Isn't it just as reasonable to sup
pose that the corruption fund was us
ed to elect Lorimer as to influence
legislation?" "Senator Pomerene ask
ed. -
"I do not think so," replied Mr.
Jones. "It was a legislative fund and
there is nothing in the record to in
dicate that the money was used for
any other purpose."
PLOT STARTED TO
I
JUAREZ, July 10. When General
Pascual Orozco, Sr., arrives here he
must face dissatisfaction in the ranks
of his soldiers. A new rebel junta
has been organized, and secretly has
been working among the troops with
the idea of persuading them to aban
don the leadership of General Orozco
and recognize General de la Fuent as
military cnier, with Emelio Vasquez
Gomez as civil head of the rebel
cause.
The Vasquista sympathizers, origi
nators of the present revolt, which
was appropriated by Orozco, who re
pudiated Vasquez Gomez, have risen
again, and the mutinous spirit con
spicuous among the rebels of late
may be traced to Vasquista influence.
It is understood the Vaspuista leaders
will meet in a few days in San An
jftonio, Tex., and, it is reported, will
discuss plans for deposing Orozco.
The Vasquistas have been anxious
ver since Emilio Vasquez Gomez was
overtthrown by Ornzon
charge of the revolution, but not un
til recent events, when Orozco began
to meet with military reverses, have
they found encouraging response in
- the rebel ranks..
- General Orozco was expected to
'reach here today. His stay in Juarez
it was declared .would be short. His
next headquarters will be at Casa
Grandes, 140 miles southwest on the
Mexican Northwestern Railroad, from
which point the rebel invasion of the
v State of Sonora will be directed.

Have Been

The City Council, at a meeting Wed
nesday afternoon, awarded a contract
for furnishing 3,000 cubic yards of
rock for repairing the macadam
streets to the Oregon Engineering &
Construction Company. The bid was
$1.85 a cubic yard, which was five
cents lower a cubic yard than the bid
of Williams Bros, and ten cents low
er than rock has been obtained by the
city before.
Councilman Tooze and a represent
ative of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company Wednesday after
noon made a tour of the streets with
a view of locating circuit poles and
poles for arc lamps. The council in
sists that the company shall live up
to the provisions of the franchise in
obtaining permits before setting poles
The poles also will be painted soon
after they are placed in the ground,
and it is expected that the sixteen
new arc lamps which hnvA been or
dered will be installed within two
weeks. The poles will be placed at
the edge of alleys wherever practic
able and only in a few instances will
be placed in parkings.
Councilman Tooze announced Wed
nesday evening that the work of re
pairing Molalla Avenue was progress
ing rapidly. . The street will be put
in fine condition in a short time,
which will not only be a boon to per
sons who have homes on it, but to
farmers living along the Molalla road.
The work of oiling the streets will
be finished probably this week. Parts
of Madison, Jackson, Washington,
Fifth and Sixth streets have been oil
ed. Washington street, which was re
cently made, will be given a thorough
rolling ,and it will be made one of the
finest thoroughfares in the city.
PAIR COMES TO CITY
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Deisel, of
Monterey, Cal., were in this city Wed
nesday on their way to Portland,
where they will spend today. Mr. and
Mrs. Deisel have been visiting the lat
ter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Stuber in Washington, and are at
present guests of Mr. and Mrs. Keil,
of New Era, where they will remain
until the last of the week.
Mr. and Mrs. Deisel are making the
trip overland, having a fine house
wagon, which is neatly furnished, and
has all conveniences with built-in
wardrobes and built-in cupboards.
During the rainy season the owners
partake of their meals inside of the
house. They expect to reach their
home in November. They are the
owners of two mules, "Becky," and
"Jack," and a white horse "Dick,"
which is the leader. The mules fol
low close behind the horse's heels ev
en when not attached to the wagon
Old "Becky" is a most intelligent ani
mal. Mr. and Mrs. Deisel have lost two
fox terriers since they have been at
New Era. One was lost in Oregon City
Saturday and the other they lost near
New Era. The one which dissapear-
ed in Oregon City is a yellow and
white dog .slightly streaked with
black, and has a bob tajl; while "Del"
the other fox terrier is of black:
white and yellow, and also has a bob
tail.
ROYALIST REBELS
CAPTURE BIG TOWN
LISBON, Portugal, July "10. The
Royalist rebels in North Portugal
again outmaneuvered the Republican
government troops today. After the
sanguinary encounter at Cabe Ceiras
de Basto, where the Royalists defeat
ed the Fifth Regiment of Infantry .re
inforcements of - government troops
were rushed to the scene.
A strong cordon of infantry this
morning advanced slowly on the in-
surrectiopary town, pouring in a
heavy fire. A few scattered shots
were the only response, and when the
final assault was made with fixed bay
onets the besiegers found the streets
deserted and all the houses empty.
The inhabitants had withdrawn to the
mountains with the Royalists, and
now are hidden in the passes.
Unless the government decides to
weaken the garrisons of Lisbon and
Oporto, which would be a dangerous
measure to take in view of the possi
bility of revolutionary outbreaks in
the big cities, it seems likely the Roy
alist warfare in the Northern Prov
inces will continue for some time.

PORTLAND, July 10, (Special.)
Elks who are members of -lodges hav
ing a low initiation fee still will be
required to pay the differential if
they affiliate with another lodge hav
ing a high initiation fee, as a result
of the action at the grand lodge ses
sion this afternoon.
Upon the request of many smaller
lodges the judiciary committee, wmcn
considers all proposed changes in the
constitution, investigated the propos
ed change in the law allowing any
Elk to transfer to another without
paying the differential in the event
that the lodge to which he transrers
has a higher rate of initiation than
the one with which he originally was
afhiliated.
After a short sharp fight on the con
vention floor this afternoon the Elks
grand lodge definitely decided to ban
ish "goat riding" from the pale of the
order. Heretofore "rough-house work"
has been permissible at special ses
sions of the subordinate lodges. The
majority of smaller lodges took ad
vantage of this liberty -to put candi
dates through a series of stunts, be
fore the serious work of initiation
was undertaken.
The matter was brought before the
grand lodge for settlement today
when the ritual committee's report
was taken up for - consideration. In
regard to "goat riding" the commit
tee favored its absolute prohibition
but suggested that the grand lodge
should decide the question as the com

FINN IS VICTOR IN OTHER CONTEST
New York Representatives Lead At
End of Second Lap and Crowd
Thinks One Will
Win
STOCKHOLM, Juy 10. Unexpect
ed defeat was the portion of the Am
ericans in the Olympic games here to
day. With five men qualified for the
final of the 1500 meter race, including
the best performers seen here, it was
believed the Americans would fill all
the point places. Instead, the race
was won by Jackson, the British
crack, who made his run after the
field had straightened away in the
home stretch.
To win, Jackson had to hang up a
new world's record for the distance,
his time being 3:56 4-5,. as against the
old record of 3:59 4-5. -
Aranaud, the French sprinter, took
the lead at the start and held it for
two laps, closely pressed by John
Paul Jones and Abel Kiviat, the New
York representatives. At the end of
the second lap the two Americans
sprinted into the lead, and then the
spectators believed it was all over.
Instead, Jackson, who had been con
stantly improving his position from
the start, began his great sprint in
the stretch, and soon passed both
leaders. The effort told on Jones,
who dropped back, absolutely "all in"
Kiviat tried to go one, but he was
staggering and in the last jump Nor
man Taber, of Brown University man
aged to get up alongside, making the
finish so close that the judges could
not decide who was entitled to the
honor.
The judges, after inspecting the
photographic plates, placed Kiviat
second and Taber third, making three
additional points for the American
team.
The result of the 5000 meter race
was, as expected, a triumph for Fin
land. The race was won by H. Kole
hainen of Finland, with the French
crack J. Bouin, in the place position
and E. W. Hutzon of England, third.
The 5000 meter race was so bitter
ly contested that Louis Scott? the Pat
terson youth who essayed to set the
pace early, was forced to quit before
it was half over. Porter, the English
champion, from whom great things
were also looked for, dropped out in
the eleventh lap. Bonhag, the veter
an American runner, finished fourth,
beaten only 10 feet for third honors.
The time for the race was 14 : 06 3-5, a
ne world's record for the distance.
Kolehainen, the winner, and Bouin,
the Frenchman who finished . second,
alternated in the lead in the last lap.
Ten feet from the finish the Finn for
ged to the front and managed to get
home winner by a narrow margin. -
OREGON CITY ELKS

UNIFORMED DELEGATION TO
LEAVE ON SPECIAL CARS
AT 8 O'CLOCK
ALL BUSINESS HOUSES TO CLOSE
Big Rush Of Visitors To City Is Ex
pected Tomorrow Special
Car Service Is
Arranged
Oregon City will be deserted today.
There is a reason. The Elks are go
ing to give a big. parade in Portland,
and the inhabitants of this city are
going to see the pageant. . The post
office, courthouse, and virtually all
the business' houses and factories
will be closed. And although the city
will be depopulated today it will be
a busy, bustling one tomorrow for
then is when the visiting Elks are ex
pected to begin coming this way.
Thousands, it is thought, will come
here tomorrow and there will be en
tertainment for all. The Elks home
and Commercial Club will keep open
house, and an entertainment commit
tee, of which B. T. McBain will be the
head will see that all have a good
time. Plenty automobiles will be sup
plied for showing the visitors about
the city and through the county.
The Elks uniformed delegation will
leave the city on special cars at 8
o'clock this morning to participate in
the great parade. . More than 100
men who have been drilling for
months will participate and, while the
men are not boasting, it is confident
ly believed that they will bring home
a prize. The suits are just as nifty
as the most fastidious could wish.
And after the parade is over, if noth
ing happens, the coats may be used
for smoking jackets.
While there were not as many vis
itors Wednesday as had been expect
ed, O. D. Eby and the other members
of the entertainment committee for
the day were kept busy showing the
strangers the sights. Automobiles
were furnished gratis and the merry
Elks and their families were shown
through the city, and taken on trips
through the county. Mr. Eby was
chairman of the committee.
The Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, anticipating a big
crowd, will run special cars all day
and far into the night.

condition of Mr. Spence were received
by his relatives JVednesday.

ASSEMBLY TO PUBLISH PAPER
McCormick And His Dog With "Log
ical Understanding" Are
Feature of Second
' Day's Program
McCormick and his beautiful Scotch
Collie, "Bronte," captivated the large
audience Wednesday, as the "Child
ren's Day" feature for the second day
of the Chautauqua assembly. More
than 2,000 boys and girls ranging in
age from babies in arm's to "Dad"
Burgess,' Gladstone's ninety-five year
old 'kid' gathered in the main auditor
ium from every corner of old Clack
amas County and were" most royally
entertained. "Bronte" is .a beautiful
Scotch Collie with a logical under
standing and is perhaps the- most :
famous dog in the United States.
She's not a circus dog in any way;
neither does she cavort about like a
"noun' dog" at a national convention.
Instead she gives a most puzling exhi
bition of animal mentality, and yes
terday easily convinced the most
skeptical that her work was entirely
different than that of the ordinary
trick dog. Mental suggestion is the
real secret of the dog's wonderful
work, according to her master, Mr.
McCormick. The pair proved a great
feature for the Chautauqua; the man,
an imitator of the speech of animals;
the animal an imitator of the minds
of men.
In the evening program Professor
Bassett gave a - most interesting ad
dress on the "Appreciation of Poetry"
S. Piatt Jones gave some splendid
rapid fire character work.
"Chautauqua's Own Hour" occu
pied the 11 o'clock session Wednesday
morning. The annual love feast of
patrons and directors and stockhold
ers was replete with optimism and
elaborate plans for. next year's work,
in matters of park improvement, etc.
were outlined by the management.
Most important was the plan for the
publication of a Willamette Valley
Chautauqua paper ,to be issued quart
erly and to be known" as the "Chau
tauqua." The idea as suggested by
the "Father of Gladstone," Hon. H. E.
Cross, met with popular favor and at
the conclusion of the meeting sub
scriptions poured in. Another Idea,
necessitated bjf.the gSwing move
ment, was the plan for a year-round
manager for the Gladstone time-tried
institution, and in all probabiity this
personage will be chosen soon. Ar
rangements for the sale of $500 ad
dititonal stock will be completed soon
as a result of today's enthusiastic
forum hour.
Class work began in earnest Wed
nesday. In keeping with the Shake
speare year, Professor Lee Emerson
Bassett of Stanford University made
his opening address to 250 enthusias
tic Shakespeare students at 9:00 a".,
m. He gave a most interesting his
tory of the great poet's life, pointing
him out as belonging not only to one
age but to all ages in his wonderful in
tuition, his delineation of character,
and his human sympathy. According
to Professor Bassett, the great gen
ius lived at a time when the world
was breaking away from dogmatic fa
talism, and in that way brought out
human sympathy for mankind, mak
ing the whole world love him.

voices under the able direction of
