TO BEAT M'BRIDE
Railroads Seek Control
of Senate.
DAYS OF LOBBY ARE OYER
Corrupt Methods Will, Be
Employed No More,
HILL AND MELLEN MISSED IT
They Fifrnred, to Their Sorrow, That
Reduction in Grain Rate Would
Forestall Any Hostile Action
by State Convention.
Washington railroads profess to be
tied up to no Senatorial candidate,' and
are keeping their hands off this fight.
Their preference, however. Is for An
keny or "Wilson, with the choice almost
a toss-up. Their one desire Is to defeat
Preston, because he represents Gover
nor McBride's policy, but until the
time of election they are not likely to
enter Into any combination.
TACOMA, Sept. 26. (Special.) Railroad
politicians have received positive Instruc
tions to keep their hands off Senatorial
politics, and to attend strictly to the duty
of protecting the railroads against the
McBrlde policies. For that reason, there
Is an appreciable lack of interest shown
In railroad quarters relative to the -three-cornered
light for United States Sena
tor. The railroafls Intend to make certain of
the State Senate. This, from all figures
given by reliable politicians, is already
pretty certain, but the men who are di
recting the railroad fight will not concede
the point at this Ume, preferring to wait
until the last vestige of doubt has disap
peared. The railroad managers were as
sured that no harm would came of the
last Republican State. Convention,, but
thWgatherlng "aid "pass'.resolutlons wfilch
the railroads did not like. Profiting by
the mistakes made prior to the state con
vention, the railroads will begin In time
to protect themselves.
Railroads Refuse to Give Money.
Concldcnt to the last state convention
has come a story that sheds a new light
upon the railroads' failure to control the
Republican gathering. It develops that
Presidents Hill and Mellen vastly over
estimated the effect of their concessions
to East Side gralnraisers and would not
listen to the polltlcil workers In this
state that the convention was In danger.
Applications for funds to carry on the
fight were turned down, and a Jarge part
of the money that was used by the rail
roads was advanced by the political work
ers who foresaw the result of McBride's
campaign.
There was money to be had by the rail
road politicians outside of the railroad
offices, but this Involved some Senatorial
political work. As it was the only thing
available, this money was used, but It was
spent on the Legislative ticket. So while
the earlier returns Indicated the railroad
politicians were beaten, they had pro
tected themselves by seizing the Legisla
ture. Now that more money Is available
to protect what has been gained, the rail
road politicians will attempt to justify
their course to the Eastern magnates. It
Is doubtful, however, if the men In the
East will ever understand what the poli
ticians working In this state have done,
for there 13 a new head to railroad poli
tics, and one that Is supercritical. From
this source has emanated the order that
Senatorial politics- will be divorced from
railroad work In the future.
Almost Sure of State Senate.
The first attention of the Tairoad poli
ticians Is being given to the State Senate.
An examination of the list of hold-over
Senators shows tho railroads have an ad
vantage there, and a study of the person
nel of the Legislative tickets throughout
the state Indicates that the railroads
should have no trouble In controlling the
lawmaking body. But the railroads will
make certain of their men in each dis
trict. Where both Republican and Dem
ocratic nominees are "right" there will
be no interference, and the two men will
be permitted to fight it out along any
lines they choose. But where reports
show there Is a doubt as to the probable
action of certain nominees, while the
other man would vote with the railroads,
any needed assistance will be given the
man whom the railroads can depend upon.
The railroad politicians do not fear Gov
ernor McBrlde and his political workers,
so far as any influence they may exert
upon a vote, but they are extremely anx
ious to avoid any unpleasant complica
tions. For that reason work Is being bent
toward making it unnecessary to gather
a lobby at Olympla this Winter. If the
railroads have a perfect understanding
with a majority of the members of the
Senate, or even with both houses, details
of organization and control of Legisla
tive work will be left to members of. the
two houses, with possibly a few trusted
lieutenants who are above all suspicion
In the capital to look after matters and
receive reports.
Xo Lobby Will Be Maintained.
Stories of the use of money by the rail
roads at the state capital have always
been exaggerated. While' there Is no doubt
some corruption has been practiced, the
extent of the lobby's work In this direc
tion is not understood. But one thing
can be stated safely now: There will be
no corrupt methods attempted by the
roads this Winter. The "railroad" Sen
ators who are picked out to win and to
protect the Interests of the roads are men
who honestly believe the roads' light is
just, and most of them cannot be touched
with money.
Granting, however, that the, use of
money was necessary and the roads de
cided to try Jt, the work would not be'
done in Olympla. The railroad politi
cians well know their ground too well to
make that necessary, and If any "fixing"
has to be done, It will be done away
from the capital and before the session
convenes. But that such politics will be
played Is a contingency so remote that it
is not even considered now.
There is ono possibility of Senatorial
politics being drawn into the railroad
fight. That Is that it may be found at the
last moment that the railroads cannot
quite control. Then a deal to trade vote
for vote may be made with any Senator
ial candidate. That Is a card the new
railroad plan of campaign allows tho
managers to hold In reserve.
It Is faithfully insisted by railroad poli
ticians that they are not tied up in any
way with either Wilson or Ankeny. This
Is probably true, for If the roads were
GRAVE FEARS ARE ENTERTAINED FOR HIS SAFETY.
SJAYORT-TH'OMAS J.
placed under obligations to either, man,
these obligations have probably been dis
charged. The railroads unquestionably"
prefer to see one of these men elected,
and outside a. few men. It is a toss-up as
to choice. Even among the strong An
keny men in the railroad forces, Wilson
Is a second choice, and they would work
as hard for the Spokane man as for An
keny, If such a move became necessary
In order to defeat Preston.

WILL ASK FOR HIS PARDON
Friends of ex-Newspaper Man to
Take Up His Case With the Board.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 26. Arrange
ments were completed tonight for the
presentation tomorrow to the Board of
Pardons of an Imposing petition for the
release of Frank Hamilton, an ex-newspaper
man, now serving a seven-year
term In the Stillwater Penitentiary for
killing Leonard Day, a young million
aire. Day was stnhbed in an early morning
brawl In tho West Hotel, and for a time
doubt was felt as to whether Hamilton
or another member of the party had given
the fatal thrust. At the time of the trial
many Intimations developed of a scandal,
which was never disclosed, but which
led to the suspicion that the real motive
for the affray had not been fully told.
Hamilton has wealthy relatives In the
East. He came here from Denver, where
he had served as sporting editor of sev
eral papers.
Mayor Ames Cut Off Payroll.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 26. Mayor Ame.s
was cut off the September payroll by the

of the City Attorney that the absent ex
ecutive Is entitled to his salary. Mayor
Ames tendered his resignation some time
ago, but it has not been acted upon. He
Is under indictment of several bribery
charges.

rious accident that has prevented his re-
HUMES, OF SEATTLE.
turn to his- Summer camp. In company
with his son,' Mayor Humes left about
3:30 o'clock ' Thursday afternoon on a
hunting trip, determined to kill the moth
er of two cub bears which he had secured
a day or two previously. The two hunt
er separated, the Mayor entering a
densely wooded country after promising
to meet hie son at a point about a mile
and a half distant.
Tho Mayor failed to keep his promise,
and, after waiting a short time, his son
bean a search. In which he was joined
later by a second son. The two continued
tho search all Thursday night, and to
day the Mayor's brother ' haa been with
them. No trace of ,the missing man has
been found, and three big searching par
ties . will leave at 4 o'clock tomorrow
morning to take up the work again.
Friends ' who have been with Mayor
Hunfes on hunting expeditions declare that
he would not give up any chance of finding
his bear, and In the event he had wounded
one or found the tracks of a bear he want
ed, he would have followed It to any dis
tance. In this way, they argue, he may
have merely become lost In the woods.
The country In which the Mayor was
hunting Is unusually densely wooded. The
Seattle & International tracks skirt the
lake shore, while back of this line the dis
trict Is heavily timbered, with occasional
opeplngs that have been loggedoff. These
opens, however, have since grown up
with a dense underbrush. Through this
belt of timber run a number of small
trails, some of them blind and others
possible to follow, but even with their
assistance one might readily be lost a
few rods from the railroad track.
The Mayor was more familiar with this
country than almost any other man In
Seattle. He has hunted over It as far as
Lake McAleer, and has tramped over the
Swamp Creek country to some extent
Though It is possible he lost his bearings
or persisted In following bear tracks too
far. In view of the fact that he knew the
country so well, this Is not probable.
The search for the Mayor was given up
when darkness made It Impossible to pro-
; cecd further, and "will be resumed at the
first Indication of dawn this morning.
The special train chartered will leave at
4 o'clock from the depot Jay. Sam and
Stnrk Humes, the latter the Mayor's eld
est son. are to accompany the party on
the train. It Is likely this party will have
commenced operations before the second
party of searchers, which is to leave
LcechI Pari: at the same hour, can reach
the ground in a launch.
FRIGHTFUL TRAIN WRECK
j Special Crashes Into Stock Car, and
Wreck Takes Fire Six Lives Lost.
RAWLINS. Wyo.. Sept 27.-A frightful
freight wreck occurred In the western
part of the city at midnight last night,
and It Is believed that at least six men
are under the wreck, which Is now burn
ing fiercely. An extra fruit and stock
special, with Engineer Patnoe, came In at
midnight There is a pretty heavy grade
coming Into the yards from the West, and
the air brakes failed to work. The en
gineer whistled for brakes, but it was too
late for the hand brakes to have any ef
fect on the heavy train", which crashed
into a long stock train standing on a side
track. About 15 cars were piled on top
of the engine, and almost instantly they
broke Into flames. Engineer Patnoe was
thrown under the wreck, and it Is said
that at least four or five otherB shared a
like fate. Rescuerssuccecded In clearing
away the wreck sufficiently to talk to En
gineer Patnoe, who Is still alive, but they
are unable to get him out, and it is feared
he will be burned to death.
There were at least a dozen men who
were riding on and in the cars, beating
their way over the road. It Is not known
how many of them escaped. Not more
than four or five have been seen, but It is
believed that more than that number got
off when It was learned that the engineer
had lost control of his train.
The fire department Is on the scene, and
has four streams of water on the lire, but
does not appear to be making much head
way, as the broken cars are piled up In
splinters, and the wind Js blowing. A
large number of sheep were burned to
death.
CAN DO NO MORE FOR JEWS
America Has Xo Issue, Xott That
RouBianin Has "Stopped Emigration.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. The report
that the government of Roumanla haa
discontinued the Issue of passports to
Jews intending to emigrate to America,
though not officially confirmed, is re
garded by the Washington authorities as
an Immediate and direct recognition by
Roumanla of the accuracy of the state
ments made by Secretary Hay In the note
respecting the evils of this Jewish, emi
gration and the underlying causes. The
reported suspension of emigration would
be regarded as removing the only direct
issue between the United tSate3 and Rou
manla, and, while we may continue to
have a deep concern in the betterment or
the condition of the Roumanian Jews, tho
United States Government must for the
time being rest content with what it has
done In the issue of the identical note to
the powers.
As to the effect upon the Jews them
selves of the suspension of the right to
emigrate to America, the opinion ex
pressed here is that the order will ac
centuate the evils from which the Jews
are suffering at present, and the fact in
the end, by attracting the attention of
the powers and exciting the humane sen
timents of civilization, will force an
amelioration of the condition of the Jews.
ROUMANIA WRITES BRITAIN.
Inquires Whether Its Views Coincide
With Those of Hay.
LONDON, Sept. 26. Thus far the Brit
ish government hao received no replies
from the signatories of the Berlin treaty
to its note supporting Secretary Hay's
initiative in the question of the treat-
me'nt of the Roumanian Jewe. The gov
ernment of Roumanla, however, through
Its Minister in London, has submitted a
long exposition of the situation from the
Roumanian standpoint, explaining that
the government Is riot In a position to
.prevent the emigration of Jews, and ask
ing whether the views of the British gov
ernment coincide with those of the Amer
ican Secretary of State.
Old Jewish. . Law Called to Mind.
VIENNA, Sept 26. A disrpatch to the
Pester Lloyd from Bucharest, Roumanla,
calls attention to an old law by which
a Jew may be compelled by the Rou
manian courts of law to talce an oath In
a shameful and medieval manner. The
Jew Is placed In an open coffin In the
synagogue, clad In his grave clothes, and
Is forced to repeat the curses and male
dictions uttered by the rabbi upon Tilm
and every member of his family If he falls
to tell the truth. All agitation to get this
law repealed says the dispatch, has been
futile, and although It has fallen Into
desuetude, it may still be Invoked If the
Christian party In a lawsuit demands and
the Judge consents.
Russia Has Taken Xo Action on Note.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 26. The Rus
sian Foreign Ofilce has not yet acted on
Secretary Hay's note regarding the Rou
manian Jews, and does not anticipate
practical results therefrom. Apparently
Russia intends to leave the initiative to
the other signatories, as the question is
regarded as an internal affair "of Rou
manla. The government of Russia is not
inclined to Insist on the performance ot
the Berlin treaty. It Is pointed out that
even If the powers acquiesced in Secre
tary Hay's proposal, Roumanla could al
ways claim that her anti-Semitic legisla
tion, was nonreligious and purely economic.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 26. David E. Thompson, of
Lincoln, Neb., was today appointed Min
ister to Brazil, and this action on the part
of President Roosevelt is expected to pre
vent any differences in the Republican
party which might arise out of the last
Senatorial contest In Nebraska. Thomp
son was a candidate, as was also Melkle
john, the Assistant Secretary of War, but
it was not possible, either by combination
or any sort of a deal, to secure the elec
tion of either of them, and Deltrlch was
chosen. Both Thompson and Melklejohn
acquiesced In the selection, and Thompson
Is now rewarded with a foreign mission.
He had the Indorsement of both tho Ne
braska Senators.
It Is also probable that the selection of
Thompson will have a tendency to curb
the violence of the Nebraska Senatora
against Cuban reciprocity, which they ex
hiblted in the last session of Congress.
It is not probable that any attempt will
be made to do anything for Melklejohn,
who, in fact. Is practically out of Ne
braska politics.
The compensation of the post to which
Mr. Thompson is appointed is $12,000 per
annum, and, while In recent years it has
not been the scene of any particular dip
lomatic episodes. It is believed that, ow
ing to the pending dispute between Brazil.
Bolivia and Peru over the territory of
Acre, and the necessity in the near future
of a readjustment of tariff arrangements
between Brazil and the United States, Mr.
Thompson's post will offer considerable
opportunities for personal distinction.
LONG PROMINENT IN HIS STATE.
Appointee Hns Worked His Way Up
From a Railroad Brnkeman.
LINCOLN, Nob.. Sept. 26. David E.
Thompson, who was today appointed Min
ister to Brazil, has been a prominent fig
ure in Republican politics In Nebraska
for many years. He began life a3 a
brakernan on the Burlington & Missouri
River Railroad: was promoted to tho
mechanical department, and finally be
came a progressive railroad man. He Is
interested largely In real estate. He was
one of the leading figures In the triangu
lar Senatorial contest between Melkle
john. Thompson and Deltrlch, which re
sulted in the election of Deltrlch, tho
present Senator. It Is understood that
the Senator Is the principal sponsor of
Mr. Thompson in his diplomatic aspira
tions. Mr. Thompson said he could not say at
this time whether he would accept and
said that, in case of his acceptance, such
action would in no way Interfere with his
newspaper, which begins publication next
week. Mr. Thompson also said that ho
was not a candidate for United States
Senator.
