CLARK IS A SENATOR

the First Ballot.
HIS TRIUMPH OVER CHANDLER

Quay Goes to Washington.
HELENA, Mont.. Jan. IS. W. A. Clark,
the Butte millionaire, was this afternoon
elected United States Senator to succeed
Thomas H. Carter. Mr. Clark, In joint
session, received 57 votes of the 93 cast
on the first ballot, and was declared
elected. The session was held In the Hel
ena Auditorium, which was crowded with
people, who, with the lawmakers, cheered
the announcement of the result.
Senator Clark was present. His friends
crowded about him, one of the first to
congratulate him being F. Augustus
Helnze. Mr. Clark wis called forward
and made a speech. In which he referred
to the last campaign and to the campaign
of two years ago and the investigation
In the Senate. Speaking of the investi
gation and of Senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, who was chairman of the In
vestigating committee, Mr. Clark said:
"The whole proceedings were denounced
by hundreds of eminent lawyers familiar
with them as being unworthy of a police
court, and the record of the high-handed,
vicious and brow-beating tactics exer
cised by the chairman of the committee
will ever remain a stigma and disgrace
In the annals of the Senate as judged by
all fair-minded men. It is gratifying to
learn that he has, in his recent effort to
be returned to the Senate, been repudiat
ed by the Legislature of his state by an
overwhelming majority, a rebuke more
Etinging but not more emphatic than that
recently pronounced by the people of
Montana. The disposition of, this man
and that of myself by the people of Mon
tana and of our respective states is a
striking Illustration of that theory which
has been aptly termed, 'The Irony of
fate.' "
No one was elected for the short term,
and balloting will be resumed tomorrow.

"BaXiIum, UaaTW. The Portland city
charter bill, upon which the subcommit
tee of the Multnomah delegation is work
ing In conjunction with the Taxpayers'
League, has not yet been completed.
Some members of the delegation have
been" restive under the delay, and disposed
to complain that they should be taken
more fully Into the confidence of the
charter framers as to what Its provisions
are. But Senator Mays, chairman of the
delegation, against whom these implied
criticisms are directed, says that the work
is being expedited with all possible speed,
and will be completed, he hopes, early
next week. The skeleton of the measure
is still in Portland, and the ereat amount
of clerical work necessary to put on the
nesn or us numerous sections is being
dona there. "When the bill Is Introduced
Senator Mays believes that the road is
clear for Its prompt consideration by the
Legislature.
Senator Mays is not yet ready to talk
about the vital features of the bill, say
ing that for the most part they have not
yet been fully determined upon by the
delegation. From various sources much
information has been obtained, and Its
general policy may be outlined. It Is to
centralize the municipal authority on the
Mayor. The power to name all commis
sions, including the "Water and Port of
Portland Commissions, is vested in him,
with the significant exception that the
Water Commission and the Port of Port
land Commission are for the present to
be nominated in the bill, to hold office
until expiration of Mayor Rowe's term.
The number of these commissions is to be
reduced to five each. A majority of the
delegation appears to be in favor of con
solidating the Police and Fire Boards,
and making their term of office contem
poraneous with the Mayor's. There Is a
decided sentiment In the delegation for
the election of all commissions by the
people. This was one of the Issues, some
or the citizens think and say, upon which
they were elected. Their declaration of
principles In tho June campaign contained
the following clause:

though no radical change as to present
policies Is to be made, and some effort
Is to be mado to reduce salaries, along
lines said not to be yet determined. Other
matters may not be known until the bill
is brought to light.
Senator Mays this morning received
from Mr. J. N. Teal, of the Taxpayers'
League, the copy of a bill providing for
the selection of a charter commission,
whloh should frame a charter to be sub
mitted to and "voted upon by the people.
It may be that this measure will be in
corporated in the present bill, and bo op
erative as to subsequent charters.
It is early to discuss tho prospects of
charter legislation, but they would ap
pear to be good. In matters of that kind,
the Inclination and the policy ot past Leg
islatures has been to leave to the Judg
ment of tho Multnomah delegation what
it wants for Portland, and this Legislature
will perhaps not be an exception to the
rule. Of course, the charter is likely to be
complicated with the Senatorship, if there
is a deadlock, and other matters, and it
may require all the energies and In
fluence of the Portland members to get It
through, if It goes through at all. The
organization of the Senate by a political
faction entirely friendly to the Multnomah
delegation, and Interested in promoting its
ends, is a very potent club In the hands
of tho charter-reform party.

Derelict Slehted off Gray' Harbor
Was the Svrnn, of Santa Barbara.
HOQUIAM. Wash.. Jan. 15. The
hull of the two-masted, flat-bottomed
schooner Swan, of Santa Barbara, came
onto the beach yesterday, about 16 miles
north of the entrance to Gray's Harbor.
No rigging or signs of recent life are vis
ible. She is loaded with cord wood, la
high and dry, and will never leave her
present resting place.
(The name of the Swan does not appear
on the shipping registers, and no ves
sel answering her description has been
listed among the overdues. She Is prob
ably a small craft used ln boating cord
wood at some of the southern ports, and
may have drifted out to sea. without a

THE HISSING INCIDENT

WILL BE INVESTIGATED.
Committee on Hazing: Continues Its
Investigation of Practices at
the West Point Academy.
"WEST POINT, N. T., Jan. 16. "When
the Congressional committee met at the
military academy today, and before any
witnesses Were cilled, Congressman "Wah-
ger. of Pennsylvania, addressed the com-
mltteemen. He referred to the published
reports of the hissing incident at the
close of the afternoon session yesterday.
Mr. Wanger said that ln at least two
newspapers Army officers were charged
with taking part In the hiBslng. He de
sired, however, to express his firm be
lief that no expression of disapprobation
was made by any Army officer present at
the time. He was pleased to hear that
Colopel Hein, acting superintendent of
the academy, had Instituted a thorough
inquiry regarding the matter. Mr. Wan
ger said that since the committeemen
had been treated with the utmost cour
tesy by all the officers, he would be sorry
Ehould any erroneous impression become
prevalent throughout the country. Gen
eral E-ick and all the commiteemen con
curred with the views of the Pennsylva
nia representative, and the matter was
then dropped.
Cadet Mahaffey, of Texas, who was a
fourth class mate of ex-Cadet oBoz, was
called and s'worn. Judge Smith exam
ined the witness, and, after perus'ng
Mahaffey's testimony, he said the evi
dence given by the witness this morning
was In no way different from that on the
military court's record. The witness ad
mitted that the purpose of calling out a
fourth-class man was to have him
whipped. He had never heard of a
fourth-class man winning in a fight with
a higher class man, but had known of
two such fights that were called draws.
Cadet Albert B. Dockery, of Missouri,
acknowledged that he had exercised
young MacArthur, who was with five
or six other fourth-class men.
"What was the reason for hazing Mac
Arthur?" "For not bracing hard enough," replied
Dockery.
"Are you satisfied you hazed MacAr
thur, and that he was sick; in fact, had
convulsions after It?" said Mr. Drlggs.
"Yes, sir."
"Did you think it was cruel7"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, young man, for your informa
tion, I will tell you that I think it was
atrocious, base, detestable, disgraceful,
hishonorable, disreputable, heinous, igno
minious, ill-famed, nefarious, odious, out
rageous, scandalous, shameful, shameless,
villainous and wicked," said Mr. Drlggs,
and the torrent of adjectives almost took
away Dockery's breath.
Judge Smith got Dockery to admit that
when he found that MacArthur was ill, he
felt anxious on account of his responsibil
ity for the young fellow's condition.
"Instead of exercising this young man
to such a degree, why did you not give
him a chance to fight?" asked General
Dick.
"He could have fought instead, lf he
had chosen to do so."
"Can you think of anything more cruel
than to exercise a man Into convulsions?"
"No, sir."
"Was there anything soldierly about
It?"
"No, sir."
General Dick then made the witness ad
mit that he was worried and went to
MacArthur's tent. It was dark, and he
could see MacArthur lying still on his
bed, and that, fearing detection, MacAr
thur was allowed to lie there without
medical aid.
"Then you and the others who took part
ln the hazing of MacArthur were afraid
to report his serious condition, fearing
that by doing so the facts would becomo
known to the authorities and you would
be dismissed from the military academy?"
"Yes. sir." '
General Dick switched to the methods
of calling out fourth class men and pit
ting them agalnt practiced men, and
scored him heavily for taking part In un
manly methods of practically forcing a
newcomer to sure defeat and a sound
drubbing at the hands of a picked repre
sentative of an -upper class. The witness
waB then allowed to go.
Cadet John C. Pegram, of Virginia, said
he fought with F. M. Smith, of the third
class, In barracks, November 5 last He
was awarded the fight on a foul, and was
in the hospital for a week after it.
At the night session, the examination
of Pegram was continued, the question
ers being severe with him. General Dick
received some letters written by ex-Cadet
Booz, and when he came to the point
where Booz spoke of the report against
mm ior racing in the wrong direction
when relieving guard, Pegram said: "Booz
lied ln his answer to that complaint. I
was present at the time with Corporal
Caples, who made the report."
This assertion on the part of the witness
did not strike the chairman as being char
itable, and he tried to get witness to ad
mit this, but Pegram was adamant At
the conclusion of his testimony. Pegram
said he did not tthink that the fighting
should be done away with at the acad
emy, but General Dick made it quite clear
that he did not agree with the young ca

Grip Epidemic ln Jfew York.
NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Speaking of the
grip epidemic ln this city, Dr. Cyrus Ed
son said last night:
"Fully one-sixth of New York's popula
tion has the grip. I believe the epidemic
Is now at its height. It has been more
severe and the cases have been more
numerous than in any previous epidemic.
There are many cases of grip-pneumonia,
which is grip affecting the lungs. This
Is very dangerous. A characteristic of
grip this year Is that the temperature is
always very high. The death rate so far
has been enormously high 75 deaths ln
one week is unprecedented for grip."

POOR PLACE FOR WHEELMEN
Country Around San Francisco Bay
Offers no Attractions.
California Is not a wheelman's paradise,
and bicycle dealers are not kept so busy
as ln Oregon, according to A. A. Unruh.
T"10 hs recently returned to Portland
v. ...U...WMM, mVU c ten illUiltlia OpCltb
In the bicycle business there. He left
here last year, under the Impression that
nearly everybody rode a wheel ln the
land of eternal sunshine, and that a for
tune could be made ln a few years lf a
good location were secured. He stocked
up a store with new wheels and a large
amount of sundries, in the town of Ala
meda, where the level roads led out into
a pretty farming country in all direc
tions, but very few customers appeared,
and Mr. Unruh began to realize that
there was nothing in it.
"San Francisco," he said, yesterday, "I3
too hilly for bicycles, and the park Is tho
only place where wheels can be ridden
wjth comfort. As the people who ride
simply for amusement form a very small
proportion of the population, the num
ber of wheels ridden Is not large. There
are not nearly so many bicycles in use
In San Francisco as there are in Port
land, although the Baj' City's population
is much larger. There is a dense popula
tion across the bay, in Alameda County,
but no bicycle paths, and so wheeling Is
considerably at a discount there, too.
There are a number of fine drives out
from Oakland, but the .roads are
sprinkled with sea water, and this rusts
the spokes in a few weeks and causes
them to give way quickly. Mr. Unruh
exhibited his own wheel, in proof of this,
and. sure enough, the spokes looked as
though they were vmade of old wiLe that
had been badly eaten with rust, the
nickel-plating having been taken off by
the action of the sea water.
"A man riding along the lines between
Alemeda and Haywards." he said, ''would
meet these sprinkling wagons every lit
tle while, and even lf he alighted and
pulled his wheel aside, the road ahead
of him would be covered with a white al
kaline mud, that dries on the frame and
makes it look as if it had been white
washed. You are not allowed to ride on
the sidewalks, even that far from town,
and so there is no place for the wheel
man In any portion of the Santa Clara
Valley.
"Cheap transportation also works
against the bicycle business down there,
as you can ride from Alameda to the City
Park, 12 miles, for 15 cents, and then,
for 10 cents more one is taken a drive
of 11 miles through the park and vicin
ity. The weather is usually too warm for
comfortable wheeling, and so people pre
fer to ride four wheels instead of a
wheel.
"The fame of Multnomah bike paths
has reached that country, and there is
strong talk of building some like them
between Oakland and San Jose, but the
Callfornians have neither the scenery nor
conditions to render wheeling popular.
There are no pleasant, shady nooks for
the wheelman to stop and eat a lunch;
no sparkling brooks at which to quench
the thirst; no Mount Hood to break the
monotony of bald brown hill; and no
scent of resinous pines to sooth the
nerves nothing but clouds of white dust,
broken here and there by the glimpse of
a dry-looking orchard or of a stately
residence belonging to some business
man over in 'Frisco. Why, we have
more water in the Willamette' River at
Portland than t.ey have ln their bay
down there, and the cry Tor rain Is con
stant with them, but seldom answered."
Mr. Unruh says ho came across several
ex-Oregonians down there, who wefo
longing to get back to Webfobt once
more. One family, now living in San
Francisco, ho mentioned as being partic
ularly homesick, and the children had
been so ever since the first week or two
spent ln seeing the sights there. Mr.
Unruh will content hlmsolf hereafter ln
Portland. "I tell you," he said fervently,
"It's better to get a shower or two extra
than to live ln a country where they get
no rain at all."
THE LEAVENWORTH LYNCHING
ICansns Legislature Calls for an In
vestigation. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 16. A Joint resolu
tion was passed by the Kansas Legisla
ture today deploring and condemning the
burning at the stake of Fred Alexander
by a mob at Leavenworth yesterday. Tho
resolution favors a most "rigid investiga
tion of all the facts and circumstances at
tending the lynching, and demands that
the perpetrators be punished to the full
extent of the law. The resolution was
passed unanimously in the House, but
met with some opposition ln the Senate.
Governor Stanley decided tonight that
he would not offer a reward for the ar
rest of the perpetrators. "It would be ab
solutely no use to Issue the offer," said
the Governor. "If the guilty parties were
arrested they would necessarily have to
undergo their first trial ln Leavenworth
County, and on account of the present
condition of public sentiment there, it
would be absolutely useless to attempt to
prosecute anybody there for the crime."
The SherlfTa Defense.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. Jan. 16. Sher
iff Everhardt, who, together with Warden
Tomlinson, of the penitentiary, is respon
sible for the removal of Alexander from
the penitentiary, offered his defense this
morning. Dast night, overcome by the
strain under which he has worked since
Alexander's arrest, Everhardt went to
bed and sent out word to newspaper men
that he was too ill to make a statement.
Today he said:
"You have no Idea what a trial I have
had since Saturday night. Those who
condemn me should place themselves ln
my position. I did my duty so far as lay
within my power, but I was overwhelmed
by superior numbers. I told the Warden
that I would land Alexander In the Coun
ty Jail, and I did. When I realized that
the crowd was bent on getting my pris
oner, I stood up ln the carriage and called
to the driver to drive to the County Jail
in spite of the crowd and overrun any one
who should get In the way. I locked the
man up, and did notve up the keys, al
though several demands were made on
me. I deplore the fact that Alexander
was burned. I did my full duty as Sher
iff of Leavenworth County."
When asked regarding the report that
he had begged Governor Stanley for state
mllltla. Sheriff Everhardt said:
"I did not request that. I am now glad
the troops did not arrive, for if they jiad
there would have been several Innocent
lives lost The militia could have done
no good. Two companies would have been
powerless to suppress the mob. and I have
not the least doubt that every National
Guardsman would have been killed. It is
not for me to say whether I think the
man guilty of the crime"
The funeral of Alexander took place to
day, and was attended only bv the under
taker and his nssistants. The remains
were Interred ln the potter's field.
Nothing has been done toward making
anv arrests, and when the Mayor was
asked lf he would take any steps ln the
matter, he answered: "It .Is a state case;
I have nothing to do with It"
Miss Thole, who. It is charged, was as
saulted by Alexander and threatened with
death if she said anvthing about It. stated
to a reporter tonight that the announce
ment that she had Identified Alexander
as her assailant was erroneous. Her state
ment Is that Alexander looked like the
man, but she was not positive about it

tnat the revolutionary movement there !s
increasing, and the attempt is makings to
take possession by arms of the New York
& Bermudez Company.
The news came to the State Department
from a private but perfectly reliable
source, and was made the basis of Imme
diate repiesentations to the Navy Depart
ment Secretary Long responded prompU
ly to the request of the State Department,
and within a few minutes after its receipt
Captain Cowles. who is acting as Chief
of the Navigation Bureau during the ill
ness of Admiral Crownlnshleld, was ln
conference with Acting Secretary Hill at
the State Department respecting tho
movements of the naval vessel and -the
character of the instructions to be sent
to Lieutenant-Commander Sargent, of the
Scorpion, which happens to be the only
vessel available for the service and adja
cent to the scene of trouble. Respecting
these instructions, nothing could bo
learned at the State Department but the
statement that Commander Sargent had
been instructed to avoid bloodshed and
the destruction of property. If possible.
Still, taken in connection with what has
gone before, there is little doubt but
what, lf the disturbing forces ln Venezu
ela, whether governmental or revolution
ary, are seeking to dispossess the incum
bents in the asphalt, concession ln defi
ance of the tacit agreement that there
should be a thorough judicial Inquiry the
United States warships wilt prevent that
action, peaceably if possible, forcibly if
necessary. Guanaco Is not to be found on
the ordinary charts, but is said to be the
nearest point to the asphalt concessions
accessible to the Scorpion, lying up the
Orinoco River about two days' run from
La Guayra, so that the ship should bo
at tho seat of trouble before the end of
the present week.
The State Department also Is in receipt
of private but trustworthy advices to the
effect that the Orinoco Shipping & Trad
ing Company, two of whose vessels were
seized yesterday by the Venezuelan Gov
ernment, is an English corporation. Tho
vessels are under British reglstrybut fly
the Venezuelan flag. Under these cir
cumstances the State Department has
found Itself unable to Intervene directly
to compel restitution, but, in view of the
fact that American capital is Invested in
tho company, it has directed Minister
Loomls to use his good offices, as far a3
possible, to protect these American In
terests. Minister Bryan Rebnked.

What the skin Is to the outside of the
body, the mucous membrane Is to the in
side of the body. Every organ, evory
duct and passage of the body is lined
with mucous membranes.
A general flabblnesa of these mucous
membranes constitutes what Dr. Hart
man calls systemic catarrh. A person
with systemic catarrh cannot stand ex
ertion. He Is all tired out He is ner
vous and fidgety. He is sallow and de
pressed. He has little zest for life and Is
unfitted for business.
