FAY YET IN CUSTODY
But He Is Held at Mandan on
Habeas Corpus.
LITTLE DOUBT OF HIS RELEASE
Wliolo Question Hinsca oxx Present
Validity of "Warrant Issued by
Governor Gecr Judge Pipes
OS for North. Dakota. .
Charles L Fay Is .still la Mandan, N. D.,
and -will remain there until next Saturday,
or longer, bo that a hearing upon habeas
corpus proceedings may be had. Judge M.
I. Pipes left yesterday for 3dandan to con
duct the proceedings for Mr. Fay, -with
the- assistance of North Dakota lawyers.
If' the habeas corpus proceedings should
fall In North Dakota, Mr. Fay's attorneys
will begin similar proceedings in Mlnne
BOta as soon as the Sheriff crosses the
Btate line at Moorhead. There seems to be
little doubt that the habeas corpus pro
ceedings -will succeed, though they might
fall upon technical questions regarding
evidence.
It -was Inferred from Mr. Fay's message
Tuesday night, announcing that he had
been released, that he "would be at liberty
'to return to Oregon. The commencement
of the habeas corpus proceedings, how-
ever,, indicates that the Sheriff has the
i Oregon man In custody. It is probable
that -when he received the notice that
i Governor Goer had revoked his warrant
;of arrest, the Bhorlff let Mr. Fay go, but
upon further Instructions from the "Wis
consin people, again took him In charge
l-until evidence of the revocation should be
'produced. The SherlffB authority is con
tained in the warrant of arrest, which he
I must regard as valid until he has legal
notice to the contrary. Judge Pipes took
with him yesterday the order made by
Governor Geer revoking the warrant, and
when this is produced it is believed that
Fay will be released. Should the revoca
tion be held not sufficient, Mr. Fay's at
torneys "will offer In evidence the testi
mony of Fay, and the affidavits of numer--
ous prominent citizens of Oregon to snow
that Fay was not a resident of "Wisconsin,
and could not have been a fugitive from
that state. If necessary, the attorneys
will' ask the North Dakota court to ap
point a commission, in the usual manner
to take the depositions of residents of
this state upon the question whether Fay
was in "Wisconsin at the time the crime
was alleged to have been committed.
Habeas corpus proceedings are practi
cally the same In all the states, this
method of relief being guaranteed by the
Constitution of the United States. The
purpose of the proceeding is to inquire"
into the authority the Sheriff has to hold
Mr Fay. Since It is unlawful for one
man to hold another captive without legal
.authority, the 'burden rests upon Sheriff
Hess to show that he is acting under valid
legal process. His answer to the habeas
corpus proceedings will be that he has a
warrant from the Governor of Oregon. To
this Judge Pipes will reply that the war
rant lias been revoked. Should the. de
cision be against Mr. Fay. an appeal may
be taken to the United States Court, as
all such proceedings are appealable to
that tribunal.
Mr. Fay has informed Mr. Scott that he
Is being caused no trouble by Sheriff
Hess. This probably means that the Sher
iff is not using more restraint than is nec
essary in carrying out the requirements of
the warrant. Mr. Fay's friends have
looked upon his arrest and hasty removal
as a sort of abduction, and they have had
feare that he might not be well treated.
The assurances from Mr. Fay have caused
much satisfaction, though It ig apparent
that the Sheriff is still making trouble In
detaining his captive. Mr. Fay's wife .
does not know of his arrest, and will not
be informed of what has occurred, for
fear the shock would injure her health.
The seeming abuse of legal process by
the people who caused the arrest of Mr.
Fay will work a hardship upon many
Sheriffs who come to this state to take
away fugitives. Almost invariably when
a Sheriff comes from another state to se
cure a fugitive, ho is anxious to return
on the first train. The Governors have
always been very accommodating in hon
oring requisitions as early as possible, so
as to save time for the Sheriffs. If it
should turn out, as now seems to be the
case, that Fay was wrongfully taken out
of. the state, the Governor may find it
advisable to bo more strict in such mat
ters in the future. In that event many
Sheriffs would suffer inconvenience for
what one Sheriff has done. When one
Governor must look with suspicion upon
a requisition Issued by another Governor,
the extradition of a fugitive is not likely
to be a process that can be accomplished
.with the promptness that would bo de
ielred. "Whether Mr. Fay be guilty or not,
taking him away from his own state to be
tried In a distant state is a proceeding
which is everywhere criticised. The cen
sure rests upon those who represented
him to be a fugitive from "Wisconsin.
"WHO JS SAFE?
, PORTIiAND. Aug"!?. (To the Editor.)
It is difficult for one knowing the facts
touching the late legal abduction of- Mr.
Fay to speak calmly or write temperately.
Here is a man who bears on his body
honorable scars of the wounds received
in battle for the flag, but scorns to apply
, for a pension, seeing he is able to provide
for himself and his family. For 20 years
he walks the streets of Portland, living a
life above reproach, a life in Its honesty
and uprightness the peer of any other life
lived In this city or commonwealth, com
manding the respect of every man who
, knows him. with a heart so full of kind
ness that it has won the affection of
every one who has needed him.
Such a man, through the blundering of
the executive and the assistance of un
trustworthy police officers of our city, is
"shanghaied" out of the state as if he
were a criminal! Police are for the prcC
tection of respectable people, not to help
in their abduction at the behest of black
: mailing or malicious people 2000 miles
away. "Would our police have been as
active to hurry him out of the state If
the case had been that of "William M.
Ladd Instead of his friend Mr. Fay?
If these are the possibilities in the City

Acting Pastor of First Congregational
Church of Portland.
Reprehensible Solemnity of the Jokce
New York Times.
In protesting against the valuation of
$o0;000 placed by the Assessors of Mount
Pleasant upon a house for which he gave
only $47,000, Mr. S. I Clemens showed
the inability, so common among humor
lots, to appreciate jokes upon themselves.
For, considering the usual method of
making valuations upon real estate for
the purpoees of taxation, this was roally
a Joke-rnot so good, of course, as that of
, the other Assessors who valued this same
house at rTO.OOO. but still sufficiently merl -torious
to deserve tho tribute of an appre
ciative smile from a brother craftsman,
i That there was an element of cruelty and
j wrong In the Joke is not particularly
against It, as jokes go, since It is their
nature to be more or less cruel, and the
victim almost Invariably finds them In
jurious, to his pride if to nothing else.
And. anyway, what does Mr. Clemens
; expect if he. who has long been "one of
' thorn city fellers.", now insists on living
out. in the country? He ought to have
learned many a year ago that vlllagca
are ruled by villagers who remain at
home all the time and attend to local
politics and tho local "machine." They
look upon the "residents," as distinguish
ed from the "Inhabitants," as fair game,
as the obviously predestined liquidators
of such part of the local expenditures as
can be Imposed upen them without driv
ing the golden geese away entirely and
forever. The valuation of a "resident's''
$47,000 house at only 950,030 was for them
considerate as well as funny, and Mrt
Clemens ought, with much self-congratulation,
to join in the general laughter.
The next thing he will be complaining
becauso suburban grocers charge twice
the city prices for vegetables.
DR. SHOEMAKER WRITES.
Ovrns Up to All The Oregonlan Said
About Smallpox at Woodland.

Editor. In defense of myself and peo
ple in wooaiano, il seems necessary xor

Is the central grounds breeding smallpox.
nor the source from which toe aieease is
spreading to other localities. All the
surrounding country being infected with
an epidemic at this period is not true,
nor did I state to any one it was.
"Wo did have a few cases of so-called
Emallpox in our vicinity, but the disease
has run its course, and soon will be a
thing of the past.
I cannot state positively of any person
Infected with smallpox going from .this
neighborhood to the Portland pesthouse
for free treatment. I have used and In
tend to use all precautions I can under
the circumstances to prevent the spread
of the disease, but many say they would
much rather contract the disease than bo
vaccinated.
I cannot force the peoplo to be vacci
nated nor remain at their homes with
the disease. I do not have the authority
to keep the disease in circumscribed
bounds, as we have a County Board of
Physicians to attend to this, and It Is
their duty to quarantine a town or com
munity whenever they see fit.
I cannot see why you hold me responsi
ble for a thing ,pr "criminal carelessness"
as you state when I am not responsi
ble. Since last Spring I have treated
only eight or ten cases of smallpox, and
fees from that source would purchase
but little bread and butter, I am sure,
ami, as The Oregonlan states, I have
charge of the disease in this community,
because Mrs. Chapman, my opponent, has
been called East for several months until
recently.
A great number have the disease, and
scarcely can recognize it, as probably no
more than a half dozen undeveloped
pustules made their appearance on their
bodies.
I notice Dr. Zan states "he Intends to
save Portland from the results of the
criminal carelessness of the people
around "Woodland." I think he can rest
mrv at rpo-arda our citizens harming him
or Portland's citizens by infecting them
with this most feared disease.
"Washington Is able to take care of
her own affairs when it becomes neces
sary. It would not Injure Portland to
have a little missionary work done, and
when nartles from the Eastern States
arrive at the Union depot on the trains
they are ushered through a portion oi
tho city to the numerous hotels where
ritv laws and reculations are violated
every hour, day and night. A little work
there and less rauit-nnamg in our cora
mnnlrv Tiv vour renresentatlve would be
good policy, as stated by many of our
citizens.
nr Wnndlnnd Postmaster's face is not
at present, as stated, a mass of pustules,
nnfl hiR p-ntire family didn't have the dis
ease in a severe form: nor do I believe
any person contracted the disease from
them. If Mr. Fields needed any punish
ment for his conduct, why didn't the ,
Portland inspector have him arrested for
such conduct, as ne was inxormea, as
stated, by one of our citizens?
Mr. Miller, "the blacksmith," of "Wood
land, never had a son in the Portland
pesthouse, as his only child is an mianc
girl babe. 3 weeks old. So you see things
nro n Httlfi mixed, and I never made half
the statements The Oregonlan says 1
did, as I met your reporter on tne street
and bad no time to stand and talk to
him.
t innlrs a little touch for Oregcn to
dictate to "Washington citizens what they
must do and what they must not ao. w e

do not desire us to come there to trade
we can trade her.
A little Investigation will satisfy any
oho we have medical laws and regula

myself and family.
I. B. SHOEMAKER, M. D.
The Oregonlan submits the foregoing
letter as entire substantiation of all tne
important statements In Its article last
Saturday. There, is smallpox at Wood
land and in its vicinity, as It has eald;
and it has been Improperly and carelessly
handled, as It has said; and It is a breed
ing ground for the disease, as it has said.
All these things appear clearly from tho
very singular contradictory Communica
tion of Dr. Shoemaker, who admits that
he "has tho disease In charge," but dis
claims all responsibility for results.
It will be observed that The Ore
gonian's correspondent declares that "we
did have a few cases of so-called emall
pox in our vicinity, but the disease has
run lis course." "When he was seen by
Tho Oregonlan reporter he remarked that
he had "Just come from the worst case
ho had yet had." The doctor afterwards
remarks in his letter "that a great number
have the disease, and can scarcely recog
nize it, as probably no more than a half
dozen undeveloped pustules made their
appearance on their bodies." Here Is
precisely the danger The Oregonlan point
ed out, and that was that smallpox is
a most contagious disease, whether mild
or malignant, and that the danger of In
fection In either case is very great
Careful reading of The Orcgonian's arti
cle will disclose that Dr. Shoemaker was
not expressly held accountable for condi
tions at "Woodland, but that the whole
community was blamed. Tho Oregonlan
cannot refrain, however, from calling at
tention to the fact that ho now accepts
for himself and his people all the blame
for tho prevalence of his disease, and ex
culpates "his opponent" whatever that
means In the medical profession. If he
had done his full duty which he has not,
the doctor would have called to his aid
the law and the authorities, and therj
would have been- compulsory vaccina
tion and rigid quarantine. Then there
would have been no particular necessity
for exploiting this serious matter con
spicuously through the columns of tne
newspapers.

BUILDINGS MAY BE CROWDED.
Large Attendance at Clinton Kelly,
Brooklyn and Stephens Schools.
It will probably be a difficult matter to
provide room for all the pupils who are
expected to present themselves at the
Clinton Kelly, Erooklyn .and Stephens
schoolhouses at or soon after the opening
of school this Fall.
Last year all these buildings were over
crowded. An extra room was provided in
the Lee Chapel building, on Powell and
East Eighteenth streets, and an extra
room was also fitted up on the second
floor of the Clinton Kelly schoolhouse,
but these only accommodated the over
flow In the latter. At the Brooklyn build
ing every room was fully occupied, and
recitations were held in the hall. At the
Stephens soma relief was afforded by
sending the highest clcss to the Central.
Carpenters will shortly fit up another
room in the Lee Chapel, on Powell street,
which may afford some relief to the
Brooklyn School. If there should be a
large increase in attendance, and from
the number of houses that have been
built this Summer near the Clinton Kelly
and also the Brooklyn school territory
there will bo a considerable Increase, it
will bo a serious problem to find room for
tho pupils. Tho Board of Education may
yet find It necessary to build a portable
building before next year is out. It Is
evident, however, that four-room addi
tions will have to be built to both Cjjnton
Kelly and Brooklyn buildings In 1903 and
an addition may also have to be provided
at Stephens.
STEAM SHOVEL IS MOVED.
Filling Under Clackamas Trestle
Will Xow Be Commenced.
The steam shovel of the Oregon Water
Power & Railway Company, which had
been at work on Mllwaukle Heights for
several weeks, was yesterday moved to
Gladstone. At Mllwaukle the fill on the
new railroad along the river has been
completed, and tho track Is now used.
The track through the main street and
ncross the long trestle has been aban
doned, and will be partially removed. The
old trestle will not be used any- more by
the cars. The saving by the new route
Is considerable, but the principal item is
the doing away with the long trestle.
A big fill will be made at the Clack
amas. For a distance of over a mile the
trestle will be displaced by a solid fill.
Dirt will be obtained at Gladstone. It will
take about three months to complete this
fill, as many hundreds of thousands of
cubic yards of dirt will be required to
displace the long trestle.

Manager Richmond Says He Has Lost
Xone of His Employes.
There was no change yesterday in the
situation at the Richmond Laundry, on
Union avenue and Weldler streets No
strike has yet occurred In that establish
ment, notwithstanding the reports put
afloat. G. W. Richmond, manager, said
last evening that not a single employe
had walked out at the Instance of E An
derson. "All my employes are here," ho
said last evening, "and none have shown
any disposition to quit me. But why
they should would be hard to say. I be
lieve in paying good wages and dividing
the profits of the business with the em
ployes. ' Most all of them belong to the
union. Anderson has been seeking to stir
up strife, but I intend to run my own
business. As he has not succeeded in
causing my employes to quit, he Is not
interfering very much."
BURRELL BEXXETT5 EXPERIEXCE.
Walked Three Miles Over Ilongh
Country After Being Shot In Foot.
Burrell Bennett, the 14-year-old son of
Hiram Bennett, East Side express agent,
who accidentally shot himself through the
left foot while hunting in Clackamas
County, Is slowly Improving. There was
serious danger of blood poisoning setting
In, but Mr. Bennett said yesterday that
his son was getting along well.
Full particulars of tho accident and the
circumstances show that he Is lucky to
save his foot. With several other boys,
he was hunting on Eagle Creek, Clack
amas County, Thursday morning. One of
the boys had killed a deer, and the other
handed Burrell the guns to hold. In some
unknown way the shotgun loaded with
buckshot was discharged. The shot
passed through and between his toes,
tearing away the bottom or his shoe and
making a hole in, the ground.
The boys were three miles away from a
house. Bandaging the wound the best
they could, the whole party started for
the house, over, tho roughest kind of
country and fallen logs. Burrell walked
all the way, and declined to be carried.
He was brought to Dover by wagon, and
then by -stage home next day. It was
about 36 hours after the accident that he
reached home, and Dr. E. H. Parker
dressed the wound. It was only by. the
closest attention that blood poisoning was
prevented.

HOPPICKERS GET WORK
MAXY GROWERS EXGAGE
PLOYES IX PORTLAND.
E3I-
Within Ten Days 23,000 Men, Women
and Children Will Be In the
Field.
A week from today there will be a gen
eral exodus of hopplckers to the hopyards
in the Willamette Valley. A week from
Monday about 25,000 men, women and chil
dren will be gathering hopst which will dis
tribute over $3,000,000 among growers, pick
ers and dealera. Many of the prow era
have already made up their lists of pick
ers, and have engaged all they can find
work for. Others are finding some diffi
culty In getting as many packers as they
want, .and are quite active in the search
for people who intend going to the hop
fields. F. J. Bolter and G. W. Massey, of
Brooks, returned to their homes last even
ing after having spent four days in Port
land engaging the people to pick their
hops. The former employed 100 pickers and
the latter 150. Mr. Bolter said last even
ing that all his pickers were engaged at
40 cents per box. and he found no difficulty
in getting all he wanted to work at that
price.
It is learned that many people who are
willing to pick hops are holding off a while
in the expectation that 50 cents will yet be
offered, and that they will get the ad
vanced price. Even those who finally en
gage to work at 40 cents want to Include
In their agreement a condition that they
shall receive 50 cents If that should be
the ruling price. Tho majority of the
growers Insist upon a straight 40-cent
agreement, so that there may be no mis
understanding later as to the price that
shall be paid. In some yards that are in
conveniently located or that are otherwise
unattractive to pickers It Is quite proba
ble that 50 cents will be paid, regardless
of what may be the ruling price In the
larger and more popular yards.
One of the unusual features of this
year's hop harvest will be . the compara
tively small nuniber of men who will be
found at work In the yards. Every able
bodied man who wants to work already
has employment at good wages, and .few
will leave their regular work for hop
picking. Many families that usually go
hopplcklng will remain at home this year
because the "man of the house" cannot
get away to go with them. Growers have
found it necessary to agree not only to
transport families to the yards. as usual,
but also to help them in setting up tents,
etc The head of the family remains at
home and the women and children must
have assistance In making camp.
Some growers talk of beginning hopplck
lng about September 2 or 3. but a larger
number say that September S will be the
day upon which the picking will begin.
Should the present dry weather continue,
the yards will be so dry and dusty as to
make the work unpleasant. One grower
yesterday expresned the hope that a good
drenching rain will fall in the next day
or two, so as to wash off the hops.- settle
the dust and clear the atmosphere. His
wish for rain wag conditioned upon Its
being foilofved by fair weather.
TAX RECEIPTS LARGER.

Tho rccelpte up to last night for tho
quarter beginning July 1. when City At
torney McNary assumed his duties, have
so far amounted to $43,236 51, an excess of
$S550 C9 over the receipts for the corre
sponding period last year, and of $4695 29
over the receipts for the entire quarter
beginning July 1 and ending September 30,
1901. A large amount yet remains out
standing, and the city officials have 23
working days in which to collect it before
the quarter ends. A city officer thinks the
total receipts for the quarter will exceed
$60,000. The Increase, he said, was not due
so much to the number of additional tax
payers as it was to the enforced collec
tions. In the past the taxeo of many had
been allowed to become delinquent, and
these persons are now compelled to pay
up or stand a trial, and possibly a fine, In
the Municipal Court.
Rochester's First Born.
PORTLAND, Ausr. 27. (To the Editor.)
Thero Is a slight mistake In this morn
ing's Oregonlan. which Is worth correct
ing perhaps only because it is a mistake.
Credit is given to Mr. Dennlson for being
the first male child born in tho City of
Rochester, N. Y.
Unless Mr. Dennlson Is willing to ad
mit that he is not white, he must forego
his title to the position, as It is a well
known fact in Rochester's local history
that the honor of being the first white
child born there helongs to the late Mor
timer Reynolds, who would now be near
ly. If not quite, 100 years old.
I have not the data of hl3 birth at hand,
but his priority Is so well known that
Mr. Dennlson's claim Immediately attract
ed ms attention.
Mr. Reynolds was one of Rochester's
most prominent citizens, accumulated a
large fortune, and upon his death be
queathed his handsome residence on
Spring street to the city as a. public
library. N. R. POTTER,
Rochester, N. Y.
A Visitor's Impression.
PORTLAND, Aug. 27. (To the Editor.)
Portland Is a fine city, with handsome
streets and noteworthy buildings rising on
every hand. 3ut why, oh, why has the
primary, the most Important and essen
tial need of any cljy been utterly neglect
ed In Portland? Is it modesty, or a penny
wise policy, or sheer lack of good sense
on the part of the municipality, that pre
vents the stroeto from being properly la
beled? On my arrival today I have had to
ask my way In every quarter of the city,
and one gentleman whom I accosted a
jitranger like myself expressed himself on
the subject with an emphasis which I
shall not reproduce, but which was emi
nently appropriate. Is this absurdity to re
main? COMMON SENSE.
