TURNERANDM'BRIDE
Spokane Convention Shows
Their Friendly Relations.
PROMOTE REPUBLICAN SCHISM
If Turner Cannot Be. Elected, His
Supporters in Legislature 31 ay
Be Manipulated In 31c
Bridc'a Interests.
SPOKANE. "Wash., Sept. 1. (Special.)
The curious overtures held out to Gov
ernor McBxIde by Senator Turner's Demo
cratic convention are partly explained by
the fact that McBride'a railway commis
sion scheme was broached by Spokane
Democrats before the Governor launched
it. Senator Turner and Governor Mc
Bride are warm personal friends. If their
political affiliations were tho same, their
views and alms could not bo more closely
allied than they aro now.
Senator Turner is the outspoken cham
pion of Roosevelt on the trust Issue, and
is backing: Governor McBrldo on every
occasion In the latter's flght for a railroad
commission.
"UThis speech yesterday before tho con
vention Senator Turner vigorously as
saulted tho Republican party, accusing It
of being dominated by the railroads. Tho
only remedial railroad legislation ever
passed, he sold, had been by tho fusion
Legislature of 1897. The lower house of
that body, he declared, had passed a com
Jnission bill, but it had been defeated by
the votes of Republican hold-over Sena
tors. Senator Turner said that ono of tho
proudest things in his life was tho fact
that he himself had drafted tho provision
in the state constitution authorizing the
creation of a railroad commission. He de
nounced the Republicans for falling to
carry out the anti-pass provision of tho
Ahe constitution by the adoption of ade
quate legislation. Ho paid a high compli
ment to Governor 3IcBride, saying ho was
better than his party.
Senator Turner and his friends have
been lining up Eastern Washington Dem
ocrats in support of McBrlde's policy
ever since the railway concession plan
'was sprung. Their work is being done
"openly and their success is remarkable.
The wlso Democratic politicians consider
at ftno strategy to play McBrlde Repub
licans against Wilson supporters, and tho
igame is being played for all It is worth.
In fact, it would seem, that Turner, if he
'cannot win, Is to throw what strength he
lias to McBrtde and his followers in the
Legislature. What bearing this might
thave in a Senatorial fight is not known.
iA.ll the Democratic Legislative nominees
fere sworn to stay with Turner to the last
ditch, but their manipulation In ilcBrldo'a
interest is not impossible.
What Platform Says.
The Democratic platform deplores the
Jdeath of McKinley; expresses abhorrence
of anarchy and demands enactment of
legislation which, shall mak,e attacks' on '
rulers Impossible. It refers to John R.
jRogers as a statesman who brought order
ut of chaos and gave the people a wise
amd economical administration. After in
dorsing tho Chicago and Kansas City
Democratic platforms, the resolutions say:
"We favor the election of United States
"Senators by the people, and to the end
that popular expression may guide the
(Democrats of Spokane County to favor
the nomination of Senator George Turner
tat the ensuing Democratic state conven
tion. "We are against the merger of allied
railroad interests in the United States into

ering of Tates is stifled and the merger of
railroad interests antagonistic to the bet

"We reaffirm our allegiance to the prln-

"We are opposed to monopolies and

"We favor a railroad commission within
the State of Washington to control rail
road charges, and to that end pledge our

to use all honorable means to secure such
a commission when elected.
"We favor the economical expenditure

"We favor tho bills indorsed by the

proposed by them for the protection of
life and limb of those who toll, and favor
in addition to such measures a law mak
ing eight hours a day's work for mechan

State of Washington.
"We earnestly favor the establishment
by law of a state railway commission, to
be appointed in the first instance by tho
Governor of tho state, Henry McBride,
and thereafter to be continued as the best
interests of the people demand, .armed

"We favor legislation to carry out the

"We instruct our nominees to the Sen

dorse the record In the United States Sen
ate of Senator George Turner. Tho
distinguished services rendered by him to
his country and party have gained for
him respect In the councils of the Nation,
and added luster to the City of Spokane
and the State of Washington. Above par
tisanship In all questions where the wel
fare of the Nation lt at stake, he has been
a zealous and able advocate of the people's
right to control trusts and monopolies,
and favors a railroad commission in the
State of Washington, to be appointed by
the present executive, Henry McBride, as
provided by our platform.
"He labored for the opening of the Co
lumbia River, the great interstate high

commercial supremacy to the cities of tho
State of Washington on Puget Sound, by
securing appropriations for tho Improve
ment of their harbors and tho advance
ment of shipping.
"His earnest support has been given to
extend the principles of tho Declaration
of Independence and the genlu3 of Ameri

Islands. He Is a leader In tho
United States Senate, of whose career the
Democracy of Spokane County may wen
be proud, representing, as it does, the
highest type of American citizenship. He
is a faithful, earnest, dignified and able
representative of the people. Be it, there

Senate be, and they are, hereby, Instruct

NO FAITH IN BAPTISM.
Preacher Says It Is Heathenish Pure
and Simple.
NEW "YORK, Sept 7. Rev. Dr. S. Mac-
Arthur, at the One Hundredth meeting of
tho "Evangelt" today assailed the doctrine
of Baptism in vigorous terms and ms
utterances were applauded wildly. The
sceno was striking. He said: "Baptism
never saved a human soul. Tho
doctrine of baptismal regeneration
is bath unreasonable and unscrlpt-
ural. Thie doctrine is heathenish,
pure and simple. The Idea that God would
forever condemn an innocent babe because
some one had not put a few drops of
water on its head and face, makes God
a tyrant and a monster and a demon.
Rather than believe in such a God I will
bo an avowed Infidel.
"This doctrine of baptismal regeneration
makes the minister of religion a worker
of malice, a fakir, a performer of mir
acles. Such teaching is a violation of all
sound reason and truo scripture teach
ing." TO HOLD THEIR OWN.

ment control of them. We shall, come to
an era of high socialism, and every one
will sooner or later be in tho trusts."
FOR CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
President Making His Own Cam-
palen Before the People.
OREGONIA1C NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 7 According to an official
who Is in close touch with; tho executive
branch of the Government, the principal
readon why President Roosevelt Is mak
ing the New England, Southern and
Northwestern tours is to aid the cause
of Cuban reciprocity. The President, he
asserts, hopes to get In closer touch with
tho people end members of Congress, and
is enough of an optimist to believe that
he will so far attain this end that when
Congress meets he will have a majority
instead of a minority In favor of Cuban
relief.
"The New England trip has had Its
beneficial effect along this line," the offi
cial said today. "This has been gained
more by personal exchange of views
than by anything he has said on tho
platform. During tne tour he had con
fidential talks with a great many mem
bers of Congress and with several Sen
ators who differ with him on the Cuban
relief question, and he believes that he has
succeeded in changing their opinions. It
does a whole lot of good to talk to a
man In his own town or In his own
home."
SIXTH MARYLAND DISTRICT.
Color Line Likely to Defeat Republi
can Nominee.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 7. There are at tho present
time two Republican nominees for con
gress from the Sixth district of Maryland
ono George A. Pearre, tho present Rep
resentative and regular nominee, and the
other Rev. Henry Newman, colored, who
has announced his intention of running
independently. Tho executive committee
of tho "Colored Republican and Justice
party." a3 it is called, has ratified the
nomination of Newman. This race Issue
arlBes almost entirely out of patronage In
tho Sixth district, and threatens to result
in the election of a Democrat to tho C8th
Congress. Pearre was elected last time by
a majority of 2671 votes, while In the dis
trict are 4975 registered colored voters,
While Newman is not expected to control
all the colored votes. It is quite probable
he can secure a sufficient number to bring
about Pearre'8 defeat, unless he Is swerved
from his purpose before election.
Tho Colored Republican and Justice
party has issued a formal call upon the
clubs and councils of tho Ex-Slave Bounty
and Pension Association to support tho
candidacy of Newman, and have issued a
like call to the colored Baptist ministers.
From this association of several hundred
thousand members the Newmanltes expect
to secure liberal contributions with which
to carry on their campaign. Newman and
several other colored Republicans intend to
canvass the entire district and make the
fight upon the plank which demands "a
pension for every ex-elave, proper treat
ment of tho colored voter, division of state
and Fedoral offices with colored men and
women," etc It is the past 'lack of con
sideratlon of the colored element in dls
tributing official plums, however, that Is
at the bottom of the dissension.
Representative Pearre shows no signs of
uneasiness over the recent uprising of tho
colored voters, and believes he will be re
elected. It is true this Is not the first time
there has been a bolt of the colored voters
In his district, but unless promises are
made or Mr. Pearre displays a marked
degree of diplomacy, it looks now as if his
present term was to be his last in Con
gross. The situation in the Sixth Mary
land district is Identical with that in the
other districts of that state. It merely
happens that the colored voters had looked
for recognition during the past few months
which was not forthcoming, and are hast
ening to exhibit their displeasure. Such
action on their part has defeated other Re
publican nominees In tho past; It may do
so again.
Americans Get in Early.
LONDON, Sept. S. A dispatch to the
Dally Mall from Malaga, Spain, says that
as a result of the British Consul at that
place having called attention to openings
for British trade, tho agents of two Amer.

WRITTEN CONFESSION.
Said Other Men "Under Arrest Are in

RICEVTLLE, la.. Sept 7. Tho body
buried hero yesterday morning, and be
lieved to be that of William Bartholin,
was exhumed this afternoon and positive
ly identified as that of the Chicago double
murderer.
The identification was made by Will
iam Mitchell, a brother of Minnie Mitchell,
one of Bartholin's victims. Detective An
drew Rohan, of Chicago, who arrived here
this morning from Chicago, and Dr. J. A.
Coey, a Chicago dentist, who had worked
on the murderer's teeth. Dr. Coey cut
out the lower jaw of the dead man which
contained thi two gold crowned teeth that
have figured so largely In the description
of Bartholin sent broadcast by the police.
The jaw was taken to Chicago tonight by
the detectives.

MURDERED MOTHER AND SWEETHEART IX CHICAGO AND COM
MITTED SUICIDE IX IOWA.
vllle, as told in the Associated Press dis
patches last night, by J. G. Pratt, a res
ident of RIcevllle. J. B. Cook, editor of a
Rlcevllle paper, discovered that the dead
man bore a striking resemblance to pub
lished pictures of tho Chicago murderer.
Inquiry here developed that Bartholin
came to Rlcevllle August 6, before the
bodies' of Mrs. Bartholin and Miss Mitch
ell were discovered. Thomas Phee, a con
tractor, doing some work here for tho
Groat Western road, Advertised for labor
ers in Chicago on August 5, offering free
transportation to the place of work.
Among those who responded was Bar
tholin, who hired under the name of
George Edwards. He worked with the
construction gang for but half a day.
After that he worken on a threshing ma
chine and in the harvest fields until last
Monday morning when he was last seen
leaving Rlcevllle In the direction of the
place where his body was found.
The text of the confession left by Bar
tholin as made public by Coroner Carpen
ter follows:
"To Whom It May Concern I want to
state I am tho Bartholin the police are
looking for. Also I wish to certify I
had no assistance of any klncTor rom any
one. Thompson, Claffey and Counselman
are all as Innocent as an unborn child j
and should be freed at once. I cannot
go Into details In regard to the crimes.
They were not planned. It was all Minnie
and I could do. My mind Is wandering.
Such a drop In life In a short time! Two
months ago traveling in tho best of com
pany; today living the life of a hobo; a
murderer.
"I Intended to go Into detail and tell
all but I cannot get my mind centered.
Even my handwriting Is disgraceful.
"But above all things I -ask to, clear
everybody from suspicion. Thero is no
second-party; I am the last.
"W. J. BARTHOLIN."
It is apparent that Bartholin and Miss
Mitchell shared In some trouble to which
the suicide referred. Several notes to
Bartholin, signed "M. M.," and Identified
by William Mitchell as the handwriting
of his sister, were turned over tonight to
the brother, who seemed eager to prevent
their publication. One Is a specimen of
tho rest. It Is addressed to "Dear Will."
and informs tho recipient that the girl
could pot meet him that night. Two of
the missives are signed "Your Darling
Sweetheart, Minnie." All are dated In
Chicago during April.
It developed today thatBartholln had
been in correspondenco with an unknown
woman in Chicago who had endeavored to
aid him financially after his arrival here.
One of these letters Bartholin accidentally
dropped from his pocket and Charles Ho
eft. a farmer for whom Bartholin was
working, read a few lines of it. Bartholin,
however, took tho letter from him after
ho had read the first few lines. Hoeft
states that tho letter was addressed to
"George Edwards," the name by which
Bartholin was known here, but that the
leter began, "My Dearest Will," as ho
remembers it, the letter read:
"My Dearest Will Lay low and get
along the best you can "
Then camo a reference to some money
matters not yet settled In Chicago for
which the receiver of the letter had evi
dently been looking. Continuing It read:
"Keep a stiff upper Up and I'll be able
to help you as soon "
Hoeft had read no more, for Bartholin
appeared and seized tho letter. This wa3
about August 23 and the following day
Bartholin left the farm.
An Impression had gained ground here
that an Immense reward had been offered
for the body of Bartholin, dead or alive,
and when the Coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that tho suicide was Bartholin, a
frantic effort was made to secure tho re
ward. Had Minnie Mitchell's Letters.
CHICAGO, Sept. 7. Chief of Police
O'Neil eays there Is no doubt as to the
identification of the body found In a field
In Iowa as that of William Bartholin.
Dr. Coey, tho dentist who filled Bar
tholin's teeth, was taken to Iowa last
night "with Detective Rohan and has fully
identified his work on the teeth, and
several letters from Minnie Mitchell were
found in the pocket of the suicide, ac
cording to a dispatch received today
from Rohan.
The charges preferred .by the police
against Claffey, Thompson and Counsel
man will be heard by the next grand
jury, which will convene one week frm
Tuesday. Said an attache of the State
Attorney's office tonight: "The confession
of Bartholin 1s not a ukase guaranteed
to free everybody. Tne fact that Bartho
lin killed three people, including himself,
will add no great -weight to this piece
of written testimony left behind. There
may be other strong evidence involving
these three men. This evidence must be
heard, wherefore the accused must remain
in jail in default of ball, unless released
on habeas corpus, and I hardly believe
that is possible."

Autumn maneuvers, which will begin next
Tuesday, and 92,000 troops are spreading
over the countryside in two armies; ono
is marching to the eastward from hero
by way of various parallel roads, while
the other is marching west from Posen.
It has been raining all day.
The general staff, which is the brains
of tho German military organization, once
a year puts armies into the field under
what would be the probablo conditions of
war and notes the result, especially In the
higher question of strategy. Each reg
iment and division Is exercised frequently
in minor maneuvers In all weathers and
under various topographical conditions,
but tho grand maneuvers, In which sev
eral entire army corps are engaged, take
place one year In one part of the empire
and tho next year In some other location
and are for the working out of fresh
combinations on a great scale.
The operations now beginning will bo
extended over a territory which is, rough
ly speaking, 30 miles wide and 50 miles
long. The hostile army, tho Blues, Is
popularly supposed to be Russian. It Is
believed to have passed tho frontier. It
Is composed of the Fifth Cons and frac
tions of ether corps. me wnoie is somo-
what less than 50,000 men strong, of which
25,000 are infantry. 17,000 cavalry, and com
prises four regiments of field artillery, de
tachments of horso artillery, machine
guns, balloonists, pioneers, telegraphists
and a commissary department. The ad
vance of the Blues Is presumed to have
crossed a line marked by the River Obra,
a tributary to the Warth, and to be seek
ing to gam the left bank of tho Oder and
possession of tho railroad Junction at
Frankfort-on-the-Oder. Tho defending
army, known as the Reds, is made up of
the Third Army Corps and the first di
vision of the guardB. It is somewhat
more than 40,000 strong and composed of
28,000 infantrymen, 11,000 cavalry, five
regiments of artillery and the usual com
plements of aeronauts.
The cavalry outposts of tho two armies
are to come in touch Tuesday morning be

FAIR BODIES IN NEW YORK
Their Simple Reception and Their
Shipment Westward.
NEW YORK( Sept. 7. In a specially
constructed mortuary chapel on the upper
deck of the steamer St. Louis, which
leached her dock today, were the bodies
of Mr. and Mrs. Charle3 L. Fair, victims
of an automobllo accident in France. The
chanel was draped heavily In black,
caught up by broad bands of whlto ribbon
and rare floral offerings were banked
around the bier In great profusion. Tho
caskets were consigned by Henry De
Berriiol to Hermann Oelrichs. They were
removed to the Grand Central Depot and
nlaced on the Palace Car Ben Wysls,
which was attached to the Chicago Special
that left this evening.
It was not known to the passengers of
the ship that the bodied were on board
until Friday, when the ship was a little
more than 2i hours from Sandy Hook. Jn
some way tho news spread through the
saloon dining-room, while the passengers
were at luncheon on that day and created
intense excitement. From that time until
the ship reached her dock, great Interest
prevailed among the passengers and many
applications were made to- Captain Pas

It was after 9 o'clock this morning when

by agents of tho New York Central Rail

removed from the ship to the pier, where
they were placed In the second cabin

quartermaster who stood guard at the

removed. Each body rested In a plain

END NOT YET IN SIGHT.
ConI Now Goinpr to Market Not Union
Labor Product.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 7. There were
many predictions that the anthracite
coal strike would be over by the first week
In September, but if the officials of the
Mlneworkers' Union are to be believed, the
struggle will continue for months unless
the coal companies grant concessions. The
operators admit they are surprised at the
way the strikers aro holding out. Ru
mors, are current, and, in fact, statements
have been made by prominent men both
in and out of the coal trade that tho
strike will be ended this month. Presi
dent John Mitchell says he knows noth
ing of a possible early ending of tho
trouble. The only move now In contem
plation is the suggestion that Governor
Stone will call an extra session of the
Legislature to deal with tho situation.
Last week more coal left the mining
region than In "any previous week since
the strike began, but tho strike officials
maintain that mcst of the coal now going
to market is "washed" from the great
culm plies, and the remainder Is coal that
had been blasted before the strike began,
which fell through tho breaking of
rotten timbering during the Idleness. Coal
Is cut in some of the mines, but as far
as can be learned, much of it Is being
done by bosses-
The number of men at work Is compar
atively small. The coal officials say they
have long lists of names of men ready to
return to work, but who fear violence.
With the coming of cooler weather the
companies look for a break, believing that
the relief now coming to the mlnework
ers will not hold out long.
Company officials do not look for a rapid
decline in the price of coal after the
strike Is over, because the demand will
be greater than the supply.

MAJOR GARDENER ARRIVES
Man Who First Reparted "Water
Cure'' of FIlipinoM.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 7-Major Cor
nelius Gardener, who reported that the
"water cure" and other forms of torture
were used by American soldiers against
rebellious natives In the Philippines, has
arrived here on the transport Buford. The
report was made In December last while
tho Major was Civil Governor of the Prov
ince of Tayabaa
"I do not know that I am to bo called
to Washington," said Major Gardener. "I
will report to the military hedaquarters
here at once. In February last I went to
Manila to Join my old regiment, the
Thirteenth Infantry, as senior Major."
"Your friends say." suggestively re
marked a reporter, "that every effort is
being made to prevent you from proving
the truth of your report."
"I made my report as I saw things and
as I saw them to be true, as a matter of
duty and conscience and for the infor
mation of Governor Taft and the Secre
tary of War. I considered the report to
be In the nature of a confidential com
munication and not for publication."
"Had you any idea, Major, that the
document might be used for political pur
poses?" "Politics?" he queried. "Why. I have
never mixed in politics- of any sort. My
politics consists of the Declaration of In
dependence and the Golden Rule.
"The civil government in the Philippines
has had many difficulties to contend with,
but they are now gradually disappearing.
I believe civil government to be a suc
cess In the Islands and I believe the work
done by the Philippine Commission in
making laws suitable to the conditions
and In organizing provincial governments
will stand as a monument to an honest and
able administration. The better classes of
tho natives the educated classes appre
ciate the difficulties and approve of the
efforts made by the commission."
