03. V Gorvallis Times. Official Paper ol Benton Uonntr. OOBTAUUS, OREGON, FEB 15, 1905. "WAR SHIPS AT THE EXPOSITION. Jlctaal Fighting Vessels at Lewis and Clark Centennial. For the Lewis and Clark Centen nial, the United States government will make an absolute unique nav al exhibit. Instead of confining its exhibits of warships entirely to miniature models, the government will station a number of her largest and finest men of war in the Wil lamette river, adjoining the Fair grounds. These vessels will be open to the public for certain per iods each day, and launches will carry visitors to and from them, in order that the people may see for themselves just what a modern war ship look3 like, how it is construct' ed, equipped, manned and control! ed. , As the Government buildings are located on a peninsula, which is connected to the narrow strip of mainland separating the Willam ette river and Guilds Lake, the natural 'grand basin" ot the Ex position, access to the warships in the river from the river from the grounds is made easy, and the con venient location of the ships makes it certain that they will prove a most popular attraction. The exhibit which the navy de partment will make in the United States government building will be complete in every detail, and in teresting to everyone. It - will ' in clude large models, from eight to ten feet in length, which cost the government $8,000 to $10,000 each, and which wil embrace every type of warship, from the greatest battle ship to the little Holland submar ine torpedo boat. This array of models will include reproduction of the Maine, which was sunk in Ha vana harbor; the Brooklyn, Admir al Schley's flagship at Santiago; the Olympic, Dewey's flagship at Manilla; besides the Oregon, New York, Missouri, Columbia, Kear sarge, Iowa, Newark, St. ' Louis, Texas, Arkansas, Nashville, Ches peake, Helena, Tacoma, and An napolis and others.

Mitchell, whose name has stood for so much of leadership in Oregon politics for 40 years, is a fallen chieftain. His ioes shout it from the house tops and- his friends ad mit it. His most loyal supporters are crushed beneath the weight of the Tanner confession. . By that token, the whole fabric of the Mit chell defense, so far as public sen timent is concerned, has fallen with a crash. The old time senator himself is in the heap of debris, and cannot be extricated. The collapse is such that even his best friends wish the; man would resign from the Senate. They know that his influence is gone, and that he cannot be of further value to his state. His very presence in Wash ington and his unoccupied seat will tend, they say, to keep before the public current incidents that they are beginning to want to forget. Then there is the fear that his fast multiplying troubles .may break down his health and vacate his seat at an inopportune time. They fail to realize that the seat occupied by an appointed democrat would be infinitely more creditable to the state than a seat unoccupied because the encumbent is under indictment for a felony. . What they do know is that if their fallen idol would only resign and get out of the way. another Senator from the Mitchell faction could be elected and a chance be given for the nation at large to forget all ' this dreadful business. It is a question of rid dance, riddance, for a man who a few short months ago . stood high in public esteem as any man in Oregon, , riddance for a man who, until those fatal months had. been for decades a factor in the nation, and riddance . for him at a time when he is an old, - old man, when by every law of life his hours should be full of honor. But that Senator Mitchell will not resign is regarded as certain. ' "If he lives, the opinion here is, that he will serve out his term. It might take as long a period as that to deter mine his case in the courts. While his case pended, it is considered unlikely that the Senate would act. That body would be slowr in any event, to act against a man who has been for forty years one of its most popular and most influential members. , The friendships of a lifetime and the associations that knit men together by powerful ties, would be involved in any move ment in the Senate itself to oust the old Senator from his seat. The fine stratagem by which Judge Tanner was led into his late confession, has become known to a few people. W. J. Burns, who is in fact, the wizard that collects all the damaging evidence in the land fraud prosecutions, was tne central figure in the incident. - Burns is described as a man that would be overlooked by all who might be in search of him. His shoes are but half blacked and bis over coat is more ordinary han would be ex pected in the chief of the United States secret service. Hi3 suit is not more than ordinary and his hat may, be . a cap or a very common hat. Whether by design, or by accident, it is a fact that his appear ance would not suggest rMr. Burns to be the magician, the sleuth, the ferret, .the dreaded diviner who is apparently reading the innermost thoughts and certainly discovering the most private transactions of men of high and low degree alike. A thing known of him is that at a given moment he may be in the federal court room, and in the next instant, nowhere to be found. He disappears, not by magif, but so quietly and 'swiftly that nobody notices. But when Mr. Heney wants him, there he is. Not only is he there, but he has at his finger tips every damaging fact that Mr. Heney wants to hurl at the men, whom developments apparently show, have been doing a lot of crooked things. ' Such is Mr. Burns, whose raid upon the gang at their work has sent the whole nation agog with sensation and kept it keyed up to a high pitch of expectation for many weeks past. Judge Tanner confessed , because Mr. Burns put him in a positson where . there was . nothing else for the man to do. A' certain' contract between Senator Mitchell and Judge Tanner purported to set forth the agreement under which their part nership was conducted. This con tract purported to hive been made in 1901. It was the main reliance of Mr. Mitchell in -his defense in the - most serious charge against him. In the hands of Burns, the contract itself has. become, at the bar at least of public opinion,1 the most damaging evidence of guilt. With Mr. Heney. Mr. Burns went to Judge Tanner's house in Portlandr The lawyer was told that in evidence before the grand jury, when he asserted that the written contract was executed in 1901, he had 'perjured himself. ' Then he was told that, out of con sideration" fcr his character, stand ing and the difficult situation in which he had been , placed, one more chance would be given him to straighten himself out. Of course Judge Tanner -was angry, and he was not slow to say so. Then Mr. Burns produced the famous con tract. He struck a match and lighted the gas. He held the docu ment between himself and the light, and called Judge Tanner to his side to look. "In this contract which you say was executed in 1901,. do you see the words in the water mark, "The Whiting Paper Com pany." Judge Tanner admitted that he did and then he turned pale as Mr Burns pointed out, the date "1904" The figures.indicated the year in which the paper on which the contract was written, was man ufactured. To make the. case com plete, Mr. Burns exhibited to his victim a telegram from the Whiting PaperCompany, stating that, the water mark in their paper product was always changed on the first of January in each year, and that the paper referred to was manufactured during the year 1904. Judge Tan ner had sworn before a federal grand jury that the identical paper had been used by himself and Sen ator Mitchell in making their law partnership contract in 1901. There was nothing else in the world for him to do but go to the court and plead guilty. McBride is a name oft mentioned at the state house now. If the great joy of naming a successor to Mitchell could come suddenly to this legislature, it is considered cer tain that McBride would be the man. 5 He trains with that wingof his party that is in the ascendency in the legislative assembly. Tongue is gone and Fulton is senator. So great a man as J. N. Dolph was killed off once to make Mr. Mc Bride a senator. That was a great compliment to Mr. McBride and it must mean that he has powers not to be despised. There are other facts too that suggest such powers. Mr. McBride maintained himself for eight years as Oregon' s secre tary of state. " Theri came the six years in the senate, and at the end of the term, a $5,000 a year posi tion on the St. Louis commission appointive, by no less a. man than the distinguished Mr. Roosevelt It need be no wonder, accordingly, if at a moment .when the Mitchellites are wishing secretly and oftimes openly that their old chief would get off, that the. name of McBride Is on sundry and divers lips. If he could be elected now, he could with Mr. Fulton so strengthen the Mitch ell machine and so defend it that it may not collapse and pass tem porarily out of power, because of the shock to its vitality by these late bad doings of its great sacb.7 ems. - '. One of the appropriation bills, carrying $65,000 for a woman's building and drill shed at OAC, passed the House at three o'clock Monday afternoon. No question or cavil was raised. The item was simply read by the clerk, and a motion made that the sum be al lowed. The vote was unanimous. The same bill carried a large ap propriation for the state university, with no allowance however, . for duplication of work at OAC, In the House this morning the governor s veto of the Port of Portland bill was sustained. , The morning session adjourned, until 10 o'clock tomorrow. The local op tion bill is still in the -hands of the committee on education, consisting of Ioughary, Jayries and Pierce. THE BIG SHOOT. It Happens Next: Week What the Events are Other Features.
