THE MORNING OREGONIANi TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1900.,
TO ELECTA SENATOR
Extraordinary Session of the
California Legislature.
BOTH HOUSES READY FOR BUSINESS
Governor's Message Denounced Those
Responsible at Regular Session
for Failure to Elect.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 29. The sen
ate and assembly of California today per
fected lis organization to meet in extra
ordinary session Much difference of opin
ion prevailed among the members as to
the necessity of reorganizing. The repub
lican majority of the senate caucused on
the subject, and It was conceded that it
was necessary to reorganize. This was
done by the re-election of the officers and
many of the attaches of the regular ses
sion. The assemblymen did not caucus. Two
resolutions were Introduced In this body,
one of which declared the house to be or
ganized and ready for business. The
other, a substitute, declaring the ottt
cers of the regular session to be under its
provisions elected. The word "elected"
led to an extended debate, which resulted
in the substitute being withdrawn and
the original resolution adopted. The body
thus proceeded immediately to business
-without reorganization. It was conceded,
however, that the vote for United States
senator should not be taken until the sec
ond Tuesday after reorganization, a week
from tomorrow.
By 5 o'clock the two houses were ready
to receive the governor's message. The
governor, as a special privilege, asked to
be permitted to read it to the houses sit
ting jointly, a thing unprecedented In the
history of California legislatures. The re
quest was granted. The message con
tained some 7000 words, treating the sev
eral purposes for which the legislature
had been called together. The most im
portant of these was the matter of elect
ing a United States senator to succeed
the Hon. Stephen M. "White. Those who
were responsible for the failure to elect
at the regular session -were severely de
nounced, and the republican papers,
which, according to the governor, were in
a measure responsible for It, were se
verely condemned. The Importance of the
state's having a full representation In
congress at this particular time, when the
nation is expanding westward, was treat
ed at length. The whole proceeding was
of so unusual a nature that it created an
interest bordering on the sensational.
SENATOR BLACKBURN'S COMMISSION
Taylor Will Not Issue It Before the
Contest Is Settled.
FRANKFORT. Ky.. Jan. 29. It is not
likely that United States Senator-elect
Blackburn will receive any commission
from Governor Taylor until the present
gubernatorial contest has been finally set
tled. Governor Taylor. It is said on excel
lent authority, will assume the position
that If it is decided he is illegally the gov
ernor of Kentucky, the legislators who
elected Blackburn, and who were declared
elected at the same election at which he
was a candidate for governor, were also
Illegally elected, and have not, therefore,
the power to choose a senator.
The beginning of the end of the contest
-was at hand today, this being the last
day for the taking of evidence. Tomor
row arguments will commence. The de
cision of the contest board is looked for
in about one week after the conclusion of
the arguments. The evidence today relat
ed chiefly to tissue ballots and the use of
the militia.
Ex-Governor Bradley was called as a
-witness. He was followed by G. W. Gist,
of Henry county, who was asked whether
he was in the republican headquarters in
XfOu.svllle election night, and heard Gov
ernor Bradley say that had he heard of
Judge Toney's injunction an hour and a
half sooner he -would have had the troops
out and changed the returns. Witness
Gist said he heard Governor Bradley make
the statement Indicated.
Representative Kalday, of Louisville, In
rebuttal of the statement, testified he was
present at the time the remark was al
leged to have been made, and he denied
that Governor Bradley made such a state
ment. At the close of the session. Gover
nor Bradley denied that he ever made the
statement testified to by Gist.
The house did not meet until 11:30 today.
So many members were absent and so
many paired that no attempt was made
to transact business, and the house ad
journed. BRYAN IX NEW ENGLAND.
Pleaded "With His Reception by
Democrats in the East.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
William J. Bryan spent a quiet Sunday
in this city, and left in the evening- for
Providence, via New York. Mr. Bryan's
visit to Providence will be his second
entry Into New England, and while he
does not, of course, look for substantial
results from that section, he believes the
indications from his Eastern reception
will be of value to the party throughout
the country.
"I have been greatly pleased," he said,
"at the Interest manifested by democrats
of the East in what I have had ti say
upon the great issues before the people.'
There Is every indication of the return of
every man, who, misunderstanding the
Issues of the last campaign, went off to
the enemy, and I believe that as the real
meaning of the principles of the Chicago
platform are better understood by the
people of the East, not only will we regain
the democrats, but we will also make seri
ous inroads in the ranks of our oppo
nents." Mr. Bryan does not believe that the re
publicans will hold out the hope of inter
national bimetalisrn in their platform of
1900. He expects to see their platform de
clare unequivocally for the gold stand
ard. FIGHT WITH BANDITS.
Attempt to Rob an Express Train
Was Frustrated.
HOLDEN. Mo., Dec. 29. John Jackson,
a detective for the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway, from Sedalia. was shot
tnrough the head by an unknown man
here early this morning. Yesterday Su
perintendent Hardy, of the Missouri' Pa
cific railroad, learned that an attempt
would be made to rob the express car on
the east-hound Missouri Pacific train, No.
8, due here at 3:0S A. M.. for St. Louis.
A posse was organized in Sedalia under
command of W. A. Cunningham, a secret
bci vitc omcer oi me Missouri Pacific and
left here on a special train at 8:30 o'clock
last night for Warrensburg, where the
sheriff and special officers were taken
aboard. When the train reached Holden
the officers were informed that the sus
pected men were at a resort, and It was
decided to arrest them then, as It was
believed enough evidence had been se
cured to bring about their conviction
The marshal of the town, another officer
and Jackson, started to make the arrest
saying they did not need assistance. Jack
son entered the house. One of the men
fiwd, and a ball passed through Jackson's
Head just over the right eye. The officers
returned the bandit's shot, but he and his
companions, of whom there were about
six, escaped. Later one of them, badly
wounded, was captured. Jackson, who
was taken to the hospital at Sedalia', can
not recover. The arrested robber said his
name was Shores, and confessed numer
ous robberies. He admitted having held
tip the Missouri Pacific agent at Ipde-
pendence a few nights ago, and of having
robbed the Plttsfield postofiice last Fri
day night
It is believed Shores and the man who
shot Jackson and escaped held up a Mis
souri paasenger train west of Kansas
City, January 9. robbing the sleeping-car
passengers. Bloodhounds have been sent
for to track the robbers. The proprietors
of the resort where the men were cor
ralled have been arrested for" harboring
the robbers.
Robber Gang Run Dawn.
CHEYENNE, "Wyo., Jan. 29. A report
has reached this city that a posse of Union
Pacific detectives, headed by Tom Horn,
had run down two of the Union Pacific
trainrobbers in the Hole in the Wall, and
after a desperate fight, killed both of them.
One of the pursuing party was shot, but
it Is thought not seriously. It Is known
that the robbers separated In two gangs
after leaving the railroad, and the men
reported killed were those who were .trailed
through the mountains so closely and af
terwards escaped.
It Is supposed that they returned to the
Hole In the Wall when they thought the
pursuit was over, and the detectives have
been watching the rendezvous ever since,
until they got their men.

TOOLE WAS EXONERATED
CHARGES AGAIXST OXE OF CLARK'S
OPPONENTS WERE WITHDRAWN.
Plenty of Money In Circulation in
Montunn After the Election
Bank Accounts of Legislators.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. The senate
committee on privileges and elections to
day heard a number of witnesses on minor
points Involved in the charges against Sen
ator Clark, of Montana. The protestants
took occasion, during the day, to withdraw
all intimations against Hon. J. K. Toole,
who withdrew from the Montana contest
for United States senator under circum
stances which the protestants were at
first Inclined to consider suspiciously fa
vorable to Mr. Clark. The prosecution al3o
declined, during the day, to put two wit-
CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES, FIRST DISTRICT
i
t " ' :
CLAUD GATCH, OF SALEM.
Claud Gatch, Marlon county's choice for the republican congressional nomination In the
' first district, is a native of Oregon's sister state, Washington. He was born June 29, 1850, and
arrived at Salem with his parent?, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Gatch, when he was 0 weeks old. The
story of the drive of the Gatch family to the Cowlitz river and the trip in canoes with the In
dians is one of a thousand of like character told at Oregon firesides. Except a few years in
California and in Portland, where his father was principal of the old Portland academy, Mr.
Gatch has spent his life in Salem. In the early '70s he carried The Oreconlan; was elected
page in the legislature of 1874; attended Willamette university, and cast his first vote for
Gai field and. Arthur, In 18S0. In 18S0 he obtained employment in the banking house of Ladd
& Bush, of w"hlch firm he Is now cashier. In 1S92 he was elected mayor of Salem by a major
ity of over two to one over nls democratic opponent. He strove for economy in the city ex
penditures, and resisted the Issuance of bonds by the city council. In 1804 he was re-elected
without opposition. In 1806 he was elected vice-president of the republican league of Oregon,
and In 1S08 he was elected president of the league. Mr. Gatch was one of the early advo
cates of the gold standard In the party in Oregon. As a member of the state convention of
1893, he Introduced the minority rt'port from the committee upon platform, opposing the free
and unlimited coinage of ullver. This report was defeated by a small majority. Mr. Gatch
believes in expansion, or, aa he terms it, the "American policy." He says the, flag, once up,
should never be pulled down. Mr. Gatch Is a prominent Odd Fellow, having been grand mas
ter of the Jurisdiction of Oregon and its grand representative to the sovereign grand lodge,
Boston, 1898, and Detroit, 1899. He was married in 1885 to Helen M. Plunimer, daughter of
Dr. O. P. S. Plummer, of Portland.
nesses on the stand who had been sum
moned at their instance, because the men
had talked unsatisfactorily since their ar
rival In Washington. Both ex-Senator Ed.
munds and Mr. Campbell said it would
be unfair to both sides to call the witnesses
to testify.
At the beginning of today's session,
Campbell, counsel for the protestants,
made a brief statement exonerating Hon.
J. K. Toole from any unfair participation
in the election of Clark. Campbell said
the prosecution Tiad been informed be
fore witnesses were called that Too.e had
secured money as a consideration for his
withdrawing from the senatorial race in
Clark's Interest, and on this account the
Toole bank account had been gone Into
in making the investigation. Since the be
ginning of this proceeding, the prose
cution had been convinced that this accu
sation was without foundation and was
satisfied Toole had not been In any way
dishonoiably connected with Clark in the
election. Hence Campbell expressed a de
sire tfiat any reference to Toole should be
expunged from the record of the commit
tee's proceedings.
Faulkner, for the defense, concurred in
this wish.
The first witness of the day was E. D.
"V. More, fusion representative in the
Montana legislature from Meagher coun
ty, and at present engaged as dairyman
and owner of a cold-storage plant at
Bozeman. Campbell, in his questions,
sought to bring out the fact that More
had suddenly come Into possession of con
siderable money about the time of the
adjournment of the legislature. More ad
mitted he had deposited considerable
money at the bank since the adjourn
ment, but said he had received ?250J lrom
his partner, Rhoades, and over $3000 from
his brother. He had sold the latter a half
Interest in a ranch for $7000, and this money
had been in part payment of the obliga
tion. He also borrowed money at the
First National bank, of Bozeman.
More stated he had not voted for Clark
until the 11th or 12th ballot, having pre
viously voted for Hartman for senator. He
said In reply to Faulkner he had received
no offer of pay- for his vote from Clark,
and no consideration was given him for
that vote. As between Clark and Daly,
the people of Meagher county were friend
ly to Clark.
George L. Ramsey, cashier of the Union
Bank & Trust Company, of Helena, the
next witness, produced a memorandum of
$1000 bills paid out by the bank, beginning
with January 10, 1S99. The record showed
that the bank had had demands for large
bills from the State Savings bank, of
Butte, sending the Institution $30,000 the
7th and another $30,000 the 13th of that
month in these bills. Most of the large
bills were received from other banks, but
occasionally one or two were deposited
at a time by individuals. For the month
of March, 67 $1000 bills passed through the
bank; for the month of February, seven,
and for January, 12. For other months
the average was about the same as for
January and February, but not so large
as for March, when the demands from the
Butte banks for the large bills was met.
Among the Individual depositors of largo
bills were Massina Bullard, a Helena law
yer, Deputy County Clrk Bery, J. E: Cul
len and J. H. Geiger. who successfully
contested the seat of Whiteside as state
senator. In the latter case the bill was
of the denomination of $500. Mr. Bullaid
had not only deposited a $1000 bill Febru
ary 7, but had received $3000 in $1000 bills
the 2d of that month.
In response to questions, Mr. Ramsey
stated that In May last Mr. Geiger had
deposited a certificate of deposit from the
bank for $2500 in exchange for which he
had given Geiger a certificate for $1500
and a draft for $1500. It was at the same
time that Geiger had brought a $500 bill
into the bank which he had changed. One
of the parties to whom the bank had paid
out large bills was a Mr. Wellcome, who,
Mr. Ramsey explained, was not the J. B.
Wellcome prominent in this case.
D. O. Becker, clerk of the Helena hotel.
was interrogated by Senator Chandler as
to a ?500 bill In the possession of the com
mittee. . This bore certain identification
marks, including, "D. O. B.," the initial
of the witness. He was asked if he had
written these marks, and said he had not
and knew nothing about the bill. He sug
gested that he might have deposited it, and
the bank added the mark as a. means of
telling from whom it was received.
At the afternoon session, W. B. Dolenty.
a banker of Townsend, testified concerning
the banking and financial transactions of
State Senator W. E. Tlerney. The latter,
the witness said, owed the bank $10,000
prior to the meeting of the legislature.
This had been paid off since then. The
witness also said Tierney had, in late
months, Invested in bank shocks. He con
sidered Mr. Tierney worth about $15,003,
or $10,000 more than he was prior to his
election. Replying to a question he said
he had "an idea" where the money came
from with which the indebtedness to his
bank was paid, but he did not state ills
suspicions. The $10,000 was paid at differ
ent times, and a large part of it was paid
in currency, the remainder being paid with
checks signed by A. M. Darsey & Co.,
merchants. Some of the currency paid in
by Mr. Tierney was wet and sandy, Indi
cating, as he (the witness) believed, that
the money had been buried. One of the
bills deposited was of the denomination
of $500.
On cross-examination, Mr. Dolenty said
that the $10,000 was really owed by the
firm of Darsey & Co., of which Tierney
was a member, and he held Tierney re
sponsible for the debt. He also admitted
that he had sought the nomination for
state senator, which went to Mr. Tierney,
and also that Mr. Tierney had recently
started a rival bank.
Alexander C. Johnson, cashier of the
American National bank, of Helena, tes
tified concerning the sale of $46,000 worth
of stock in the Fergus County bank, wrhich
had been made by him for ex-United
States Senator T. C. Power, after the elec
tion of Mr. Clark. The witness said he
had, previous to the sale of the stock,
asked State Senator Hobson to find a cus
tomer for him. The sale had been con
summated by Cashier Kurtz, of the Mon
tana National bank, but he had not said
where the purchase money came from.
At this point the names of Ben Hill and
L. L. Wright, two Witnesses from Mon
tana, who had been summoned, were
sailed, but both Mr. Campbell and ex
Senator Edmunds said they did not believe
It would be fair to themselves or to Mr.
Clark to have them testify. The Intima
tion was that they had made contradic
tory statements, and It -appeared neither
side desired their testimony.
Powell Block, of White Sulphur Springs,
a member of the Montana house of repre
sentatives, who voted for Mr. Clark for the
senate, was the next witness, tout his( tes
timony was not material.
C. H". Fortman, treasurer of the Jeffer
son Club, of Helena, identified a letter re
ceived from Senator Clark, in which the
latter had referred to his son, C. W. Clark,
and Mr. Wellcome as his representatives
in Helena. Mr. Fortman said that during
the sitting of the legislature last winter,
he had asked Mr. Clark for a contrlbu- j
ticn of $200 with which to pay the lndebt
edness of the club, and the latter replied
saying he would refer the request tohIs
son or Mr. Wellcome, as they had charge
of all his expenses In Helena.

LEFT TO THE COMMISSION
SETTLEMENT OF THE QUESTION OF
PHILIPPINE CHURCH PROPERTY.
Rights of the Friars Burial of a
Washing-ton Volunteer at
Vancouver. ,
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
President McKiniey has determined
to leave to the new Philippine com
mission the question of the dis
position of church property In the
archipelago. The commission will con
sult with the municipal officials relative to
the action to be taken, and the status of
the friars who remain In the Islands will
also be determined. At the same tlmo
the administration will have to decide
what shall be done with church property
in the islands of Puerto Rico and the
claims of the Catholic clergy both here
and in the Philippines for the continuance
of the support they received from the gov
ernment of Spain, and which the clergy as
sert Is guaranteed them by the treaty of
Paris.
Tlieee questions are embarrassing to the
administration, especially as they are
raised on the eve of the presidential cam
paign, and there is no desire on the part
of the officials to take any action which
may be offensive to the Catholic voters of
the country. While no formal claims
have as yet been preferred by representa
tives of the Catholic church for restora
tion to the church of certain public build
ings and lands in Puerto Rico, General
Davis understands that it is the intention
to claim ownership to several valuable
structures In San Juan, and to ask for the
surrender of the property.
These edifices, it is asserted, belonged
originally to certain rpMgious orders, but
were taken possession of by Spain, held
as public property, and finally transferred
as such to the United States.

Hundreds of Your Friends Are Taking Advan
tage of the $5 Rate of Ors. Copefand and
Montgomery, and Being Cured of Long
standing Troubles by These Specialists
They Furnish the Most Scientific Treatment
of A!I Diseases for $5 a Month, Medicines
Included.
Until the Innovation made by Drs.
Copelnnd nnd Montgomery, in placing-
medical skill and. thorough sci
entific treatment for all aitteases
within the reach o all by nmlcins
their total cliarce tor treatment and
medicines at ?3 a month, It was al
most impossible for people in moder
ate circumstances to obtain the aid
of sUillful nnd conscientious special
ists. It was, and still Is, for thut
matter, a frequent occurrence to
hear complaints made over the ex
cessive fees charged by those claim
ing; to be specialists. Drs. Copelnnd
nnd Montgomery's charge is but $5 a
month, including; all medicines, nnd
the time required for a cure under
their system is shorter than that oc
cupied by any other method. More
over, their cures are genuine and
permanent. The fact, that, in spite
of their vrell-estnblishetl nnd fairly
earned reputation for honest work,
skillful treatment nnd nncceaiifal
results, they still maintain this low
charge of 5 a month, shows that
they aim not alone at financial suc
cess us practitioners, but ns well at
the accomplishment of the greatest
possible good in the community.
Their practice, which has long been
several times larger than any other
in this city, is still constantly in
creasing, demonstrating continually
that the public appreciates low
charges when combined with un
questionable skill, thoroughness
nnd professional honesty.
THESE SPEAK
CURED OF A VERY
SEVERE AND DANGEROUS I
THROAT TROUBLE
Mr. Iecester Snipes, The Dalles,
Or., well known In the vicinity, having
been born and raised in that busy little
city. In speaking or his treatment and
cure of a severe case of catarrh com
plicated with bronchial trouble, Mr.
Snipes said:
"My trouble came on about 15 years ago
as a result of exposure, and in spite of
all I could do I grevr gradually worse
each year and suffered more Intensely.
"My home physicians were unable to
do anything for me more than afford a.
little temporary relief. Some of the doc
tors I consulted said I had asthma, and
one of the very best physicians on the
coast diagnosed my case as consumption,
and said my only hope was In a change
of climate. I held a very fine position at
that time, which I gave up at a great
sacrifice, and did a3 he advised. I stayed
away until I seemed entirely well, but
just as soon as winter set In my trouble
returned and I suffered worse than ever.
"My head was stopped up and I had
headache all the time. My throat was
dry and sore and I had a distressing
cough, accompanied by pains in the chest
and a soreness through the left lung.
After I went to bed there would be a tick
ling in the throat, which set me to cough
ing The air passages seemed to contract
and close up. I would sit up In bed,
sometimes the greater part of the night,
coughing and gasping for breath. I often
thought I would Choke before I could
get relief. After coughing until I was
completely exhausted I would raise a lot
of stringy mucus, which gave me relief,
but the next night it was the same old
story. Under this suffering and loss of
sleep I lost flesh and strength.
"I had doctored until I had but little
confidence In doctors or medicine, but
this fall, on the urgent advice of a friend,
who was personally acquainted with the
great success of the Copeland treatment
In cases like mine. I decided to make one
more effort for relief, for I felt I could
not spend another winter In suffering and
misery. I began to Improve from the first
and now feel as well as I ever did in
ray life. The winter is almost over now
and although I have been out in all kinds
of weather, I have not had one bit of
trouble. This Is the first winter in 15

FROM EXPERIENCE
years that I have passed in comfort and
without loss of time on account of sick
ness, and I give the credit of It to the
Copeland physicians, for they have sure
ly cured me.
CATARRH OF STOMACH
AND B0WEL5
Mr. J. H. Otto, 27-i Fourth street,
Portland. Several years ago I took a
course of treatment at the Copeland In
stitute for a catarrhal trouble, affecting
my head, stomach and bowels, the result
of an attack of Panama fever 29 years
before. At that time I was In ray 63d
year and thought this would be against
a cure, but under the treatment given
me my catarrh got well and my stomach
and bowels healed. My appetite returned
and I gained in weight and strength I
am now as well as any man of my age,
due to the excellent treatment I received
at the Copeland Institute.
Miss M. A. Taylor, -MO East Sher
man street. Portland. I suffered from
catarrh since childhood. The worst of my
trouble was In my stomach and bowels.
Everything I ate gave me sreat distress,
followed by bloating and belching. My
stomach was sore and tender. I had diar
rhoea, with gas and gurgling in the bow
els. The disease affected my ears and I
had a ringing and buzzinff In the left ear
and my hearing was very dull. I began
a course of treatment at the Copeland
Institute and am thankful to say that now
I am strong and well.
RHEUMATISM AND DEAFNESS.
Mrs. Iu H. Clarke, well known In
and about Portland, residing at Gresham.
I am 69 years of age and had suffered for
years with rheumatism and deafness. I
was completely crippled with rheumatism,
being compelled to use crutches all tho
time. My deafness came on gradually,
but when I began my treatment I was
almost totally deaf. Even my own voice
sounded far off. People had to speak
right into my cars to make me hear. I
was nearly distracted with a ringing and
buzzing and sounds like the roar of the
ocean In my ears. I couldn't eat or sleep
and was weak and nervous.
The Copeland physicians cured me completely-
I have no more rheumatism and
I hear nearly as well as i ever uiu m my
. life. I consider this wonderful In a wom
an of my age and never fall to give the
Copeland physicians the praise they so
richly deserve.
