Disinherited.
SPOKANE, "Wash., March 20. Harrison
E. Selfridge, a -well-known Spokane citi
zen,, believes 3xe has fallen heir to $500,000
left him by a cousin dead in Spain. The
etory reads like a romance. The features
ere a disinherited son, "who remained true
to the woman of his choice, despite the
opposition of his family; a fortune made
ly an American in the Old "World; and of
a violent death through police persecution
nn murder in Spain.
In December of last year. Selfridge re
ceived a letter from Louis It. Selfridge, of
Madrid, reciting the story told to Hiram
Selfridge by his mother years ago. In
OS39 John Selfridge, an uncle of both the
men, married a French actress in .New
Tork, and his family disowned him. John
Selfridge went to France, worked for the
Panama Canal people and died, leaving a
fon, the -writer or the letter. The son,
Poula Eelfrldge, fn his first letJer.-zSala' he

TRAGEDY TAKES ON JfEW COLOR.
Indian Woman Say "White Man, Xot
Her Husband, Is Murderer.
VANCOUVER, B. C, March 20. The
Toba Inlet tragedy has taken on a new
color by the statement of the Indian wife
of Johnny Tackum, arrested as a witness
for the crown, and brought here today.
Tackum Is under arrest charged with
ehootlng John Card, who is now at the
jlty Ho'spltal here, and whoso recovery
Is Improbable. He Is also suspected ot
the murder In the north of Card's partner,
"William. Hussey, who has disappeared.
Card -charges Tackum, who Is an Indian,
with the shooting. His story is that
Tackum was beating his wife savagely
-when he and Hussey interfered to protect
her.
Tho woman tells a very different story.
Her head and body show no serious signs
of Injury, except a scar on her nose. She
denies with emphasis that Uier husband
has Ill-treated her, and charges that Card
and his partner, .Hussey, quarreled and
iought, both using firearms. It was Card,
she Intimated, who killed his partner, re
ceiving u bullet wound In return. Then,
realizing the serious consequences of his
crime, ho ingeniously shifted the blame
upon the Indian, knowing him to have
been in bad odor with the white constab
ulary In corroboration of her story other
Indians say that Card has a violent and
dangerous disposition; that he and Hussey
had had frequent quarrels of late, and
that both were drinking heavily just prior
to the tragedy. Hussey's body has not
yet been found.
Davrson Pronounces Story a Fake.
SEATTLE, March 20. A special to the
'x.mes from Dawson, Y. T.t says:
Copies of certain outside papers received
here yesterday contain rank fake stories
regarding damage done to the Klondike
jby the Trcadgold concession. There is
not a word of truth in the printed state
ments that there has been or would bo any
exodut from. Dawson. Instead of an ex
odus, the influx to Dawson is tremendous.
and the prospects for the coming season,
"were never brighter. Before the corre
spondents of the sheets mentioned wired
their fake stories, a message was received
-from Commissioner Ross, at Ottawa, indi
cating that there would be a great modi
fication or a rescinding of tho Treadgold
concession.
A great sensation was created here yes
terday by the Health Officers raiding Pres
ton's cold-storage plant and destroying 150
carcasses- of mutton and- a quantity of
poultry.
Stage fares to "White Horso have been
advanced $50, to go Into effect Monday.
CHARGES AGAINST CONSUL BO.
Also Designed to Inculpate Minister
Wn, Ills Drother-In-Lavr.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 20. Grave
charges against Chinese Consul-General
Ho Yow, designed also io in.fcu,Ipate Min
ister Wu Ting Fang., all under the seaj ot
tho Six Companies, are on file -in the For
eign Office In Pekin. says the Chronicle
this morning. "When interview ed in re
gard tothe matter. Ho Yow said:
"Yes, the MInister.has been informed by
the Foreign Office that charges are on file
and has telegraphed me to investigate and
learn their sources. There are a number
of charges, lihe greatest stress being laid
on the allegation that I am not conducting
the fight aaglnst exclusion as aggres
sively as the complainants think I should.
Another charce is that I am neglecting
my official duties and not protecting the
interests and welfare of my countrymen.
"We are Informed by the Foreign Office
that the charges bear the Imprint of the
Six Companies. I Informed the companies
and they at onco entered a disclaimer on
their minutes.'and that disclaimer will be
iorwarded to the Minister, and by him to
the Foreign Office. I am Informed that
the signatures and Imprint of the com
panies are forgeries. It is quite possible
that the charges emanated from dis
gruntled highbinders, incensed at the ef
forts to stop their practices.'
A prominent member of the Six Com
panies said:
"We were informed that the charges
comprised 28 articles. One was the charge
that a great deal of his time was devoted
to his racing stable, and that his jockeys
wore the national colors, a yellow dragon
Jacket. The Royal Government will not
permit this. Then there were other
charges of official and personal miscon
duct. "The charges against the Minister were
that he had previously been notified of all
this, but had failed to call the Consul to
account, and In that had shown neglect of
his duties."
Minister Wu and Consul-General Ho Yow
are brothers-in-law.

PRUNEGROWERS GET IT ALL RIGHT
Glle Docs Not Care What Dealers
Think He Receives for Prunes.
SALEM. Or., March 20. A few days ago
The Oregonian correspondent Inquired at
the office of the Willamette Valley Prune
Association, in this city, to learn what
activity there is In the prune market. He
was Informed that sales are being made
at the association price, a 2-cent basis
for the four sires, or 5 cents for the 40-50
size in 23-pound boxes. This statement
having been published, a Portland dealer
questioned Its truthfulness, and challenged
the association to show any bona fide sales
at that price. H. S. Glle, manager ot
tho association, was seen and asked for
more complete information. He said:
"When asked regarding the prune mar
ket, I made a statement of facts for the
information of the public. I did not seek
publicity, but gave information that The
Oregonian thought might be of interest to
its readers. To give dealers the names of
firms with which we are doing business
would be foolishness on our part, and un
fairness toward our customers. I have
been employed cs manager of the associa
tion, and it makes no difference to me
whether dealers believe we are making
tales at our prices or at any price."
R. J. Spencer, a prunegrower, who Is a
member of the association, was asked to
day whether he knows anything- concern
lng"thc prices being received for associa
tion goods. He said:
"I do not know what prices Mr. Glle is
selling the fruit for. I know that the as
sociation books show that sales are made
at 5 cents for the 40-50 size in 25-pound
boxes, or a S-cent basis. We growers aro
getting our money on that kind of a show
ing. Mr. Glle Is employed on a salary.
If he Is selling at less than association
prices and making up the difference out
of his own pocket, that is something wo
do not know about. All we care about is
the amount we get."
DEMAND MORE FOR FISH.
Fishermen's Union Asks Increase ot
50 Per Cent on Bristol Bay.
ASTORIA, March 20. The Alaska Fish
ermen's Union, of Bristol Bay, which was
organized here last Fall, has notified the
management of the local campanlcs hav
ing canneries at Bristol Bay that before
the fishermen will sign contracts for the
coming season the price of raw fish must
bo increased about 50 per cent. The prices
asked are 3 cents- for red salmon, 15 cents
for King salmon, and 1 cents for dogfish
and chums. While the demand has not
yet been granted, no trouble is antici
pated, as both sides have virtually agreed
to abide by the decision reached In San
Francisco in the controversy between the
union and the Alaska Packers'AssocIa
Uon. Voters Slow lny Registering.

SALBM, Or., March 20. Men who are
interested In the wood business in this
city say that the present outlook is that
there will be plenty of firewood on the

are the prices that prevailed In 1900, but
are less than Was obtained In 190L Last

Ihe supply was limited and a considerable
quantity 'of the supply was "cornered."
This year tho state boards made their
wood contracts in the Fall, so that the

tity of wood has been cut this Winter,

POLITICAL DUTY OF MAN
JUDGE LOWELL ADDRESSES WHIT
MAN COLLEGE STUDENTS.
Politics Necessarily Incident to Ev
ery Calling and All Should
Take Active Interest.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., March 19.
Hon. Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton,
addressed the students at Whitman Col
lege this morning on "A Political Ca
reer." Judge Ixmell held It to be the
duty .of every young man to take an
active Interest In politics. He held poll
tics necessarily Incident to every calling,
and that he who falls to act In accord
ance is delinquent In his duty as a citi
zen. As to bosses, the speaker assured
Tils hearers that they need have, no fears
on this score. The difficulty now, he held,
was tho shirking of public duty on the
part of the majority.
Judge Lowell's address Tvas one of a
series of chapel talks which have -been
given at Whitman College during tho
Winter, lectures, In fact, by prominent
men of the Inland Empire, covering in a
practical manner the various phases of
human effort, professional and otherwise,
the object being to present to the stu
dents some of the concrete things In
active life. Judge Lowell's address In
part was as follows:
Politics, under our form of government, are
necessarily Incident to every calling, and ha
who falls to accept this truth and act In ac
cordance, is delinquent In his duty as a citi
zen. The political evils which exist are not
tho result of activities, but ot noglcct, because
the men who believe In publlo faith and pri
vate Integrity are always In the majority, and
can control It they will.
This U necessarily a government of parties,
and no thinking man would have it otherwise.
It Is, therefore, the duty ot young men toi
study early the principles which the various
parties represent, and promptly to ally them
selves with that ono which stands for those
policies they believe wisest, and then to iden
tify themselves actively with party affairs. He
who falls to do this Is either too delicate or
too cowardly to bo entitled to the privileges of
American citizenship. Government Is what the
diligent make It, not what the indolent wish it.
Array yourselves at all times and upon all
occasions upon the side of political decency
and the honorable conduct of party affairs. It
will take supremo courage to do this, for ypu
will frequently find j ourselves overwhelmed by
money and machine; precincts will be colonized
and floaters voted by conscienceless candidates;
laws will be broken, and the party press will
applaud success, however attained, but tlmo
and providence will hold tho ultimate balanco
even, others will coma to your side, and the
end will be a cleansing of political life. It Is
better to stand alone right than with the mul
titude wrong. The call of the hour is the
arousing of civic conscience, for In its present
lethargy the boss and political trickster finds
his opportunity. He is always helpless when
the manhood of parties asserts Itself.
Do noj be afraid of the word "politician,"
but do jour part to mako It honorable by
divorcing It from trickery and bribery. Prac
tical politics, which means only the distribu
tion of office and the direct or Indirect pur
chase of votes, must give way to patriotic pol
itics, which shall enthrone principle and mako
It triumphant. The curse of this age in pol
itics lS the lawlessness of law enforcement.
Laws which protect the ballot must be enforced
or our institutions are doomed.
Organization 13 as necessary In politics as in
business, but It must be effected uprightly.
The difficulty now Is that through the shirking
of public duty on the part of the majority,
organization Is left to the tew, and those few
too often moke the term synonymous with com
mercialism. This condition will ohange, but
It may be necessary ultimately to compel every
citizen to abandon his private business upon
days .of election, both primary and general,
and to perform at the same- time the high pre
rogative of citizenship and the office of detec
tive. Compulsory voting may yet become nec
essaryv The primary Is the foundation of our polit
ical structure, and upon its character depends
all else In political life. If corruption and
Jobbery obtain there, their baneful Influence
Imperils parties and endangers the state. It
Is, therefore, imperative that good citizens at
