ST. PAUL, Nov. 24-The Pioneer Press tomorrow will say: "Governor Van Sant has determined to fight the great railway combine, as rep resented by the Northern Securities Com pany, to the last ditch. He has decided to call an extra session of the Legislature for -the purpose of providing funds for the legal battle, and says that, should the Legislature fall to appropriate the amount asked, he will use his own private fortune to carry on the contest. "While the Gov ernor declined to make public his plans for prosecuting the fight, he does not deny that he has decided upon an extra session. This decision was Veached after a pro tracted conference with the heads of the various departments and the chairman of the House committee on appropriations. One hundred thousand dollars will be asked f or to cover the expenses of hiring counsel to assist the Attorney General And ior otner emergencies. Beyond appropriat ing, the money, the Governor does not be lieve that the Legislature can aid him materially. The anti-trust and anti-con-solldatlon laws now upon the statute books of this state are looked upon as embodying the limit of Legislative powers and the fight will be made in the courts. "Although the Governor does not antic ipate that the Legislature will hesitate to appropriate the sum asked for, he states that should it do so, he will use his pri vate fortune to carry on the struggle until it is exhausted or he has gained & deci sive victory. The call for the extra ses sion will probably not be made until the first of the year, and the date of the con vening will likely be February 1. i i Outrages by Hogalcs, ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Nov. 24.

Assassins Confess, Each Ac cusing the Other, NAMES: JNO. WADE, W.H. DALTON Boh Are Toughs Mistook Their Vic tim for Rich Gambler He Resist ed, They Killed Him Tivo Others in Custody. Haunted by the knowledge that they had been implicated in the shedding of human blood and unable by word ana action to hide the fact of their guilt, John Wade, alias Kid McFadden, and Will iam H. Dalton were arrested yesterday morning, charged with being Implicated In the murder of James Barkley Morrow last Thursday morning on theN.Kast Side. Charles Smith and "William H. Martin were 'also arrested, as they had been going around town with "Wade and Dal ton. The two latter are the principals. "Wade says that Dalton killed Morrow. Dalton says: "Wade fired the shot which killed Morrow." The police state that "Wade is the actual murderer, although he is placing the blame on Dalton. The ar rests were made by Detectives Day and Welner and Policemen Carpenter, Bailey and Gibson. The four prisoners were at first taken, to the city jail, but when the fact became known around town that men charged with the murder of young Morrow were arrested, and that one man blamed It on the other, threats were openly made on the East Side to lynch both men, "to see that no mistake was made," as one man. put it. Guards of policemen were placed inside the city Jail, in view of the arrival of a surging crowd outside. During the !firjxupanriW2f5ffWade and Dalton had.; made their confession, the two men were rapidly driven to the county jail and were then taken elsewhere, tho location of their detention being kept secret by the po- I lice. .It la believed that "Wade and Dal ton are out of town. Last night threats were made on the East Side to organize a force of mechanics and march on the city "jail, demanding that the men or men who killed Morrow be given over to them. Fortunately for law and order, no outbreak occurred, i It Is understood that Dalton will give state's evidence against his former friend "Wade. 5oth "Wade and Dalton admit be ing present when Morrow was murdered. They thought the unfortunate young man was a gambler, who they thought carried home large sums of money to his home on the East Side nearly every night. Dal ton says that Wade was the highway man who fired "the fatal shot, and the police believe his story. Clevr From Lodging-House Keeper. The clew which led to' the arrests was supplied by Mrs. WT. Whltlockj 1S1 First street, at whose house Mar.tln, Smith and Dalton roomed, and where Wade visited them. Martin introduced Bmith and Dal ton to Mrs. Whltlock early, last Wednes day night, and these twowortbles left'the house shortly afterward, accompanied by Wade, who had called in the Interval. (Mrs. Whltlock says she became suspicious of the actions of Wade and Dalton when she first met the men, and she.bocame so uneasy that she fell a prey to nervous, unaccountable fears so much so that In stead of retiring Wednesday night at her usual hour, she sat up until 3 o'xlock? Thursday mornlnsr to wait for her new! lodgers. When Wade and Dalton came lrij sight, they looked haggard and ill at ease. They went to sleep, however, and4 Mrs. Whltlock was startled to hear later in the day that young Morrow had been shot and killed on the East Side at about 12:18 o'clock on the same morning. Actions Arouse Suspicions. This was Thursday. Her lodgers rose late that day, and when Wade came she noticed that he and Dalton had an earn est conversation, mostly carried on In an undertone. It seemed to her that Wade was asking Dalton to do something which Dalton would not do. Still, Martin had beeit at her house for three months, at intervals, and had introduced the trio as friends of his, and she did not like to ask too many questions from them. But some how the strange thought arose in her mind that either Wade or Dalton had killed young Morrow. She could not shake oft the morbid thought. Saturday about noon she could not rest concerning her strange lodgers, and she walked to the room occupied temporarily by Smith and Wade, and knocked at the door. "We're dressing. Call again," growled a voice. Tm Mrs. Whltlock, and I want Into the room as soon as you men are through with it," replied the landlady. No re sponse was given, and Mrs. Whltlock went about her household duties. A few min utes afterward she went to the room lately occupied by Smith and Wade, and was surprised to see different bureau drawers open, and the contents in a state of confusion. Charged Them With Their Crime. Arve- "been -robbed," was her first thought, and by a rapid inventory she saw that jewelry and clothing valued at about $C0 was missing. Then she became angry that her confidence had been so misplaced In those under her own roof, and she waited until Martin and Dalton returned. She frankly faced these men and said that she believed they knew something about murdering: young Mor row, and that she was about to com municate with the authorities. "Do not tell," said Martin, to his friend Dalton, and Dalton looked uneasy. Smith came shortly afterward, and the four talked over the strange matter. Mrs. Whltlock leftfhem to their own thoughts and she immediately telephoned to her le gal adviser, who in turn advised her to consult with District Attorney Chamber lain. Two or three times she tried to get telephone communication with Mr. Cham berlain's office in the Chamber of Com merce building, but the line was reported to be "busy." Then she telephoned to the police station, and told 'the official who responded that her house bad been robbed, and that she wanted a policeman sent to her assistance immediately. She was as sured that the policeman on the beat would bo told to call on her. District Attorney Notified. Shortly after 10 o'clock she could bear the suspense no longer, and fearful that tho suspected men would get away, sn telephoned this time to Mr. Chamberlaln'a residence. Miss Chamberlain answered the message, and 'told her father he wns Thla.Ia the day the people come In haste from everywhere, And shower gold and' silver on The bis pile for the 'fair." , r&fTs &. wanted at the'-'phone, little dreaming of the momentous tidings. "Who's there?" asked Mr. Chamber lain, tired with a hard day's work, for he was just about to retire for the night "Never mind," replied tho voice that of a woman "I want you to -come to 181 First street, at once. Something Im portant has happened." "Can't you come to my office, during business hours? Won't it do tomorrow?" asked Mr. Chamberlain. "If you knew what I wanted you for, you'd step over here quickly," said the voice, with just a tinge of impatience. "You are working on that murder across the river, are you not? Well, it's about that. Now you understand. Ask for Mrs. Whltlock." Mr. Chamberlain assured her he would be at her house without loss of time, and he telephoned Detective Day to meet him at Third and Morrison streets. Mrs. Whltlock quickly told Mr. Chamberlain, and Detective Day her suspicions, and the trio had a talk with two men "whom they found in Dalton's room, but the men said they knew nothing of the matter of Morrow's murder. Dalton Confesses to Authorities. Just then Dalton entered the room, and with very little pressing he was, doubt less eager to earn the $500 reward he told a story In which he said that Jack Wade had shot and killed Morrow. He gave a graphic description of the affair, and said that Wade had mistaken Morrow for a gambler who generally carried plenty of money, and that when Wade asked Mor row to hold up his hands, Morrow made a motion as if to draw a gun. "Then Jack Wade shot him," concluded Dalton. The latter gave a description of his friend Wade, and said that he would be willing to show Detective Day the Whltechapel hotel where Wade slept. Detectives on Track of Wade. Feeling sure that he was on the track of the Morrow murderer at last, Detec tive Day sent word to the police station to ask Detective Welner to step up to the house. Then Day, Welner and Dal ton started out to Search for Wade. Dal ton said that Wade was hanging around Whltechapel, and at first an unsuccessful search was made over various lodging houses. Suddenly Dalton started, as the trio were passing a Third-street saloon, and said: "Why, Smith Is in that saloon. He's playing pool there, and he'll blow on us, sure." k The remark T?as perfectly true, for subsequent developments showed that at that instant Smith remarked to the man who was playing pool with him: "I wonder if those ; detectives are watching me? I've done nuthln'." But all the same Smith was noticed to walk to the door two or three times, and to eye the party nervously. Mean while the police party also suspected that Smith knew that Dalton had turned informer, and the last time Smith peeped out of the saloon he was arrested by Day and Welner and token to the police 'station. Under a fire of questions. Smith admitted that he knew where Wade was, and that the latter was not very far away from Third and Burnslde streets. Dalton was locked up in tho meantime. "Shadow" Smith Lodged in- Jail. Detective Day took Smith under his charge, and the prisoner bythlstlme was quite humble and willingly accompanied (Concluded. oa-'Eigbth Pare.) TODAY WE PUT, UP Lewis and Clark' Committees I s Wili Begin Work. LIBERAL SPIRIT IN THE AIR Organization for the Great "Work Ta Completed, nnd by "Wednesday Klght $300,000 or More Stock . Should Be Taken. Everything is in readiness for the Lewis end Clark subscription committees which will take the Held this morning. All lines of industry have been covered, all com mittees have been appointed, nearly all '"Rhus is tKe day -we dig -up for tKe jLewis" and ClarK Centennial." SMM'MwNiliis''S4i ,. .v. v- -s .- - 4. x.sW?Vta' committees have received their Instruc tions, there is a thorough understanding of what is required of every citizen of Portland at this time, and nothing ap pears to stand In the way of a quick can vass and a report to the meeting In the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange Wednes day night, that the capital stock of $300,000 has been more than taken. At the meeting in the Mining Exchange Friday night, all committees that had previously been appointed reported that they were ready for work, or about to organize. In the case of the committees on mines and miners and on corporations other than merchants, real estate and manufacturers. It was deemed advisable to reinforce the canvassing by a letter signed by President Corbett and Secre tary Reed, explaining the purposes of the Lewis and Clark Centennial. An original of this letter will be handed to each firm and corporation doing business in Port land whose head office is in another state. The text of this letter has been drafted and tho copies required for city delivery will be ready the first thing this morning. They will be handed to Chairman Cruthers and his colleagues when they call at the office of the secretary, 246 Washington street. In the matter ot the letters that must be sent out of the state to reach the home offices of the corporations that will be asked to identify themselves with Portland's great undertaking, all that re mains to be done is for Chairman Cruth ers, of the committee on corporations other than merchants, real estate and manufacturers, and Chairman J, Frank Watson, of the committee on mines and miners, to file with the secretary the names and home offices of the corpora tions to be addressed. Thus every com mittee, whether its work is in Oregon or out of Oregon, will be pushing its work before the noon hour Is past x Committees Are All Ready. The additional committees named at Friday night's meeting organized without delay Saturday. The majority of them accepted the news of their appointment, which was published In The Oregonlan, as official. Even before they received the notifications of the secretary, which were sent out by the first mail, they 'began tele phoning to headquarters that they had organized and would be In the field this morning. Persons who are wont to say that Portland Is conservative, meaning thereby that It is slow, may find a valu able lesson In the prompt attention given to these notices. The letters were dropped In the postofflce at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. Within an hour and a half the majority of the recipients telephoned to headquarters that they had conferred with their chairmen, received their in structions, and otherwise compiled with the orders of the executive committee. As might be expected, the 26 committees appointed Saturday afternoon by P. L. Willis, Secretary Reed and C. H. Mclsaac have not had an opportunity to organize. The first notice of their appointment was given through The Oregonlan yesterday. They are asked to accept this notice as official, as the short time intervening be tween then and the beginning of the can vass does not permit of the sending of mail notices. The committees are expect ed to call at headquarters as early as practicable after 8 o'clock this mprnlng to receive their subscription blanks and instructions. Canvassing Will Be Spirited. A feature of the Exposition enterprise which is especially gratifying to those who have organized the preliminary work Is the cordial spirit exhibited by all who have been requested to do committee work. There have been no point-blank refusals, and none based on doubt of Portland's ability to. hold the fair. The only reasons for declining have been inadaptability to soliciting and absence from the city while the canvass will be in progress, and these are considered satisfactory. In every such case, however, the pcrsdn who declined has, expressed .thimself as In favor of the fair4 antf. as willing to contribute liberally to the capital stock. There has been no dropping out for fear that if a man- ac cepted a place on one of the .committees he would feel morally bound to "dig up." There Is no- disposition to shirk the call which Portland Is now making to all of its citizens. Unanimity Among "Workers. The unanimity with which committee chairmen arose In their places in Friday night's meeting and reported their com mittees ready for work or practically or ganized was a surprise even to those whd know what Portland can da when it wants to unite for a forward movement. The se cret of this spirit of co-operation lies in the meetings that have been held morn ings, afternoons and evenings in the par lors or banks, in offices in the Chamber ot Commerce and other buildings, and In wholesale houses after the business of the day has been closed and the rumble ot trucks and drays on the stone pavements has been stilled. All classes of Informa tion have been considered and account has been taken of the fact that Portland has double the mercantile capital of any other cityin the Northwest, and that its job bing1 trade this year will be over $120,000, 000. Even yesterday committees were at work perfecting the final details and .i mK&K?,tzr putting everything In readiness for today and tomorrow. The Inside history of the preliminary organization would of itself make highly interesting reading. On the East Side of the river the can vass will be on geographical lines and on the West Side on Industrial lines. The East Side work will he in charge of the East Side Improvement Association and the numerous Sub-Boards of Trade. That part of the city will be canvassed block by block, by day If that will suffice, and by nignt if necessary, and not one person will be missed. Judging from tho number of blanks that have been supplied to that district, fully 200 canvassers will be at work there today. The West Side, being more, compactly built, will be more easily covered and will not require so many workers. Spirit of Liberality in the Air. Coupled with the details of organizing the committees have done some sounding of prospective subscribers and have met with responses that demonstrate what Portland 1s able to do and what it will do today and tomorrow. The incident ot the man who offered $250, whereas only $100 was expected -of him, reported In yester day's Oregonlan, is not the only one or the kind. Yesterday a man who has baen set down as a boomer of the Fair 'phoned one of the committeemen to ask how things were going. He was told that everything was In good shape and that he Would be called upon today for a sub scription. "About $J30 would "be your size," the committeeman said to the In quirer. "Is that so?" said the man at the other end of the 'phone. "What's the matter with asking us for $500, and we are not such a big firm, after all'' Headquarters at 240 "Washington. The headquarters of the preliminary or ganization and of all the committees act ing under its direction are at 246 Wash ington street Here are kept all the sub scription blanks and the minutes of the meetings of the executive committee. Committees requiring blanks, or informa tion on any point decided by the execu tive committee, will have their wants at tended to at headquarters. Committees working at a distance will be supplied with information by telephone if they will ring up Oregon 'phone, Main 993, but committeemen will be expected to call at the office for subscription blanks and In structions. More East Side Canvassers. T. M. Edmunds, president of Clinton Kelly Sub-Board of Trade, yesterday ap pointed the following Lewis and Clark canvassers for the Rlchmond-Waverly-Kenllworth district: J.

Captain Edward P. Lawton's company fit the Nineteenth, Infantry ha3 attacked and captured an insurgent fort on Bohol Island, south of Cebu, in the Vlsayan group. This fdrt was surrouded on all sides by a precipice,, and the only en trance to the higher ground was guarded by a stockade, with a line of entrenclv ments behind It. Captain Lawton sent Sergeant McMahon and-20 men to climb the precipice and attack the fort in the rear. Sergeant McMahon's party accom plished their task after three hours' climb, ing through the thick undergrowth. They took the enemy by surprise, and drovo them from the fort. As the insurgents escaped, they had to pass the remainder of Captain Lawton's company at a dis tance of 130 yards. Here the enemy suf fered terrible losses.
