FIGHT TO -THE LAST DITCH
Van Sant "Will Call a Special Session
to Provide Funds.
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.

tim for Rich Gambler He Resist

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

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.

Detective Day took Smith under his
charge, and the prisoner bythlstlme was

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

committeemen will be expected to call at

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

tance of 130 yards. Here the enemy suf
fered terrible losses. The Insurgents do-
