TRAITOR DEGRADED
Soldier at Fort Canfay Threat
ened Roosevelt.
GETS TEH YEARS AT ALCATRAZ
Frank Rakotvskl, Polish .Anarchist,
Who "Would Emulate Czolgosx,
Is Dishonorably Dismissed
Before His Comrades.
There passed through Portland yester
day a former private of tho United States
Army, who was publicly degraded before
the post guard at Fort Canby a few
hours before, and was about to depart (or
Alcatraz Island, tho bleak military prison
of the Federal Government, where he
will serve a 10-year sentence for publicly
declaring his intention to assassinate
President Roosevelt when his term of en
listment expired, and for Indorsing the
crime of Czolgosz. He was closely guard
ed by a detail of his former comrades, and
In their stern, faces was no sympathy for
the fellow, who was no longer a soldier,
who had been court-martialed and dis
missed from the service in dishonor and
disgrace. .
Frank RakowskI is his name, and he
Is a native of Poland. He was a mem
ben of the artillery company stationed at
Fort Stevens, commanded by Captain
Harold Cloke. Some time before Christ
mas he was ordered to Fort Columbia,
Wash., on detached duty. A few days
before the holiday Rakowski was in Chin
ook, and was under the influence of liquor.
The assassination of President McKinley
was spoken of in a saloon, and RakowskI
was present. He was In his uniform as
a soldier in the Army of the United
States, which will account In a measure
for the startling effect upon his auditors
when he declared:
"President McKinley got what he de
served. My time of enlistment In the
Army will soon expire. When It does I'll
see that President Roosevelt gets the
same dose Czolgosz gave McKinley."
It was a marvel that Rakowski was not
lynched on the spot. His anarchistic ut
terances were heard by several persons
in the saloon, and when they compre
hended the treasonable threat made In
direct and unmistakable language triey
rushed for hlro, and bore him to the
floor. But for the Intervention of officers
of the peace he would have undoubtedly
been beaten to death. As It was. it took
several -officers, exertir.tr .their "united.
'strength, to tear his assailants from mm.
cuetodyaad -""jigC
Peace Dalton, of Ilwaco. 2v
He was imprisoned at Fort Canby and a'
court-martial ordered, the members being
Major Humphries, president; Lieutenants
Spurr. Tobln. Weeks. McBrlde and Pour
rle. He was arraigned on a charge of
violating the 63d article of war, which
covers a multitude of offenses under the
general classification of "conduct to the
prejudice of military discipline." There
was plenty of evidence to support the
charge against RakowskI, and the court
martial, found him guilty.
The sentence Imposed was dishonorable
discharge, forfeiture of all pay and al
lowances, and confinement In the military
prison at Alcatraz Island for a period, of
10 years. The findings of the court were
forwarded to Colonel C. A. Coolidge, who
is in charge of the Department of the
Columbia, In the absence of General Ran
dall, and that officer approved the
charges. A formal order carrying out the
decrees of the court was sent to Fort
Canby, and yesterday morning orders
were received to start with the prisoner
for the California prison.
The post guard of 21 men, the entire
strength of the fort, was summoned to
the parade ground. Rakowski was
brought from the guardhouse and halted
In a position where all of the men could
see him. Then Lieutenant Tobln, officer
of the day, read in slow, measured tones
the order of approval of the findings of
the court-martial, RakowskI was dishon
orably mustered out of the Army, and
was taken back to the guardhouse, to re
main until the morning boat left for As
toria, where connection was made for
Portland.
But little Is known of Rakowskl's ca
reer previous to joining the Army. From
statements made to soldiers of the fort.
It was learned that he formerly lived on
Milwaukee avenue, Ch'cago. Previous to
his declaration In the Chinook saloon. It
was not known that RakowskI cherished
anarchistic sympathies. Captain Cloke
was seen by an Oregonian correspondent
last night at Astoria, and In speaking of
the degraded man said:
"The man seemed to be a quiet fellow.
Prior to the time of his anarchistic ut
terances at Chinook, he never gave any
trouble. He was drunk when he threat
ened the life of the President, but that
docs not excuse him."
The case of RakowskI Is the second in
stance of anarchy reported from Colum
bia River posts. The other offender was
stationed at Fort Stevens, and made a
statement similar to that of Rakowski.
The soldiers who overheard him gave him
a beating," which all but rendered him
unconscious. Ke was threatened with
death If he remained in the service, or
In the vicinity of the post at the expira
tion of .21 house. The hint was sufficient
the man disappeared.
THE ATMOSPHERE' CLEARED
Both Arbitration Plans Passed
Through Pan-American Congress.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 17. The atmos
phere of the Pan-American conference
was suddenly cleared this morning, and
with the best of feeling prevailing on all
sides, both the plans of compulsory arbi
tration and The Hague agreement passed
through the conference. W. I. Buchanan,
of the United St&es delegation, afforded a
means whereby, in spite of yesterday's
discussion, both Ecuador and Chile might
adhere to The Hague convention, propos
ing that the minutes of the last two ses
sions, showing the feeling of Chile with

regard to arbitration, should form part
(as annexes) of the protocol, whereby the
nations represented at the conference ex
press their acceptance of The Hague con
vention. Now that the arbitration question has
been disposed of, the conference will has
ten the work that is still before It. and
will be able to close its session lria week
or 10 days.
The Peruvian delegates express them
selves as In general satisfied with the '
solution of the arbitration difficulty. It
Is declared that the Peruvians and their
nllies have won a great diplomatic victory
by obtaining admittance Into the confer

HUNDREDS WERE KILLED
EARTHQUAKE WRECKED A CITY IN
SOUTHERN MEXICO.
Three Hundred Lost Their "Lives and,
as Many More Were Injured at
Chllpanxlngo.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 17. One of the
most terrible catastrophes in the history
of the "State of Guerrero Is reported to
have occurred late yesterday afternoon,
when an extremely violent earthquake'
shock Was felt at Chllpanzlngo, causing
a great loss of life and Injuring many per
sons. Details from the stricken district
are very meager, but scattering reports
received here indicate that probably 300
people were killed, and as'many more In
jured. It is known that the State Capitol,
the parish church and many business
houses and residences are in ruins, and
that there is much suffering ns a result
of the awful seismic disturbance. One of
the edifices, that suffered most was the
federal telegraph office, which explains the
paucity of news that has so far reached
this city.
Meager details finally began to arrive
here. The telegraph lines and apparatus
at Chllpanzingo were badly damaged, but
the employes, all of whom were unin
jured, quickly proceeded to erect an Im
provised telegraph office on the outskirts
of the city.
The number of deaths was greater in
the parish church than in any single place,
as a crowd of worshipers was gathered
there for the afternoon service. The solid
masonry walls and the roof came top
pling down on the worshipers, and many
of those within were killed.
The War Department has ordered troops
In the neighborhood to co-operate in the
work of rescue. Until this work Is com-,
pleted. It will be Impossible accurately to
learn the number of victims. It is be
lieved, however, that this Is one of the
most destructive seismic phenomena that
has ever occurred In Mexico. The great
er part of the population of Chllpanzingo
are now camping out under tents around,
the town, which is five days Journey from
the national capital.
Earthquake shocks were felt in many;
other cities and towns. In the City of
Mexico the earthquake occurred at 5:17
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was of
such violence as to shake the most sub
stantial buildings. The Pan-American
Congress was in session at the time, and
many of the delegates were greatly
alarmed. The first movement here was
one of trepidation, and was very sharp.
It was followed by an earthly oscillatory
movement north-northeast to south-southwest.
The duration was 53 seconds. The
damage In this city was slight.
The State of Guerrero has always been
the focus of seismic disturbances. Re
ports received here state that the shock
was very severe at Chllapa. No casualties
are so far reported from there.
Tho duration of the Chllpanzingo shock
was less than that In the City of Mexico,
having lasted 50 seconds, against 55 sec
onds at the capital.
Up to 11 o'clock tonight, no further
news had come from Chllpanzingo.
The earthquake was 'also Intense at
Iguala, In-the State of Guerrero, destroy
ing the parish church, and many buildings
In the city and neighborhood. Among the
latter was the sugar mill of General Fria
ble, an American. The mill had Just been
completed and fitted up with American
machinery at a coat of $200,000. The prop
erty loss Is immense throughout the State
of Guerrero.
The Associated Press correspondent has
Just seen a private telegram from Chll
panzingo from a gentleman to relatives
In this city, saying: "I and family are
safe. Many houses destroyed."
The fact that he does not refer to loss
of life Is considered significant, and It is
now believed that the loss of life was ex
aggerated. The Kentucky Legislature.
FRANKFORT. Ky.. Jan. 17. The Sen
ate today unanimously concurred in the
House resolutions asking Congress to pro

The House resolution petitioning Con
gress to remove the revenue tax on to

criticising the trust.

Behalf of Crocker.
IN SPITE OF THE COMPROMISE
Roosevelt May Take the Mntter la
His Ovrn'llnnds and Reappoint
Ide Marshal Subsidy Bill
Report.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. Since the pub
lication of the compromise that had been
agreed upon by members of the Washlng-
i ton delegation, whereby Marshal Ide is to
i oe appointed collector of customs ana
J Hopkins be made Marshal, Senator Foster
hao been making frantic efforts to secure
the appointment of his favorite. Crocker,
of Walla Walla, as Collector In place of
Ide. It looks very much as If Foster
will have to accept the terms of the com
promise, however, and allow Ide's ap- .
pointment. or ele Ide will be reappointed
Marshal in the face of his protesjt. The
Attorney-General would be very glad to
have this done, and If his influence could
accomplish It, Ide would be allowed to
continue In his present position. It te un
derstood the Pre&Ident Is becoming quite
vexed at the Senator's persistence in be
half of Crocker, and his refusal to abide
by the terms of the compromise, and if
some final step is not taken soon. Presi
dent Roosevelt may take the entire matter
Into hia own hands and act Independently.
Should this be done, Ide will succeed him
self. Panama Route Iniprnctlcnble.
Senator Mitchell says that investigation
that he has made regarding the Panama
Canal convinces him that It is thoroughly
Impracticable, and that. If the Government
should purchase It, It would have end
less litigation on Its hands and many
difficulties to encounter before all of the
claims and contentions could be settled.
The thorough Investigation which the inter-oceanic
canal committee Is giving to
all propositions Is such that he believes
all lawyers of the Senate will be con
vinced that a great mistake would be
made to accept the offer of the Panama,
Canal Company, and 'that, even if no
money were Involved, other complications
are sufficient to condemn the acquisition
of the canal property by the United
States. An effort has been made to make
It appear that the President favors the
Panama route, but this does .not see.

Senator Mitchell will still insist upon the
Nicaragua route.
Honse May Yield on Tariff Bill.
Some Republicans may oppose the re
duction of 25 per cent in the Philippine
tariff bill. Burrows of Michigan Is one
of these, because his state Is very much
Interested In the production of beet sugar.
Others representing the sugar Interests
say that not a sufficient amount of sugar
will come from the Philippines to endan
ger the production In the United States,
and that Cuban sugar Is really the only
menace to either the cancgrowers or the
boet-sugar producers. A majority of the
Senate will stand by the report of the
committee In favor of a reduction.
Members of the House are decidedly
piqued at the-action of the Senate com
mittee, as they believe that the Republi
can party and the Republican Administra
tion were committed to the full DIngley
rates at the time the other bill was rushed
through. Payne and some of his high pro
tectionist colleagues on the ways and
means committee may undertake to make
a flght against the Senate reduction, but
there is every Indication that the House
will be compelled to yield, as many Re
publican Representatives voted for the
bill under private protest and excuse
themselves on the ground that It is sim
ply a temporary measure.
The Subsidy Bill.
While the subsidy bill, a favorable re
port on which was authorized today, is
considered by many as a great improve
ment over that offered In the last Con
gress, yet It does not meet with any more
favor from those who oppose any subsidy
than d'id the lost bill. It Is asserted that,
notwithstanding the attempt to favor slow
freighters, the fast American lines will be
more benefited by this bill than any other
Interest. It seems likely that the House
will not act on the shipping bill, at least
until after the Fall elections, because
members fear that their interests might
be endangered by voting for such a meas
ure, and the programme now Is to pass
the bill through the Senate at the long
session and to crowd It through the House
at the short session.
Taconia and Spokane Buildings.
The Senate public buildings committee
today called on Senator Turner for data
regarding Senator Foster's bill appropri
ating JS50.0Q0 for a public building at Ta
coma and his own bill appropriating $500.
000 for a public building at Spokane. Both
bills will be favorably reported next Fri
day. The committee Is not disposed to
allow the full amount for Tacoma, asthe
department recommends but JSOO.OOO, the
Dame as It does for Spokane. It is quite
probable that both bills as reported will
carry between 54OO.O0O and $500,000.
Olympla land Office Flsht.
Senator Foster has taken up with Sec
retary Hitchcock the appointment of a
Register and Receiver at the Olympla
Land Office. It is believed the Senator
favors the removal of the Register, Decke
bach, and the appointment of Mr. Stock
ing, a member of the State Legislature, to
the vacancy. A strong effort la also being
made to retain Receiver Scobey, but
strong protests have been filed against
his reappointment on the ground that he
has not faithfully performed the duties
of his office. The Secretary Is believed to
be In sympathy with Senator Foster'a
