McBride" Belfeves Commission
Will Survive Defeat
EASTERN SECTION DESIRES IT
Governor Says He Is Loyal to the Re
publican Ticket and Struggle
Will Be Carried on With
in the Party.
SEATTLE. Wash.. May 12. (Special.)
Governor Henry ilcBrlde declared today
that he -would renew the flght for a rail
road commission later1. He acknowledged
defeat, but Insisted it was only temporary.
The Governor declares he and his friends
are loyal to the .Republican ticket, and
whatever flght they have to make will be
within the party. Speaking of his defeat
he said:
"As hope springs eternal In the human
breast; so any man dislikes the Idea of
giving up that principle for which he has
fought, and fought hard. I thought I was
right on that commission proposition. I
think so now. The voters of "Washington
of a part of "Washington have said that
I was wrong. Be that as it may, no man
can tell -what the future holds in store,
and a principle never was and never will
be won without an earnest, honest and
honorable struggle.
"I do not care to talk about the com
mission idea- I put the issue fairly be
for the people, and that great judge, the
American citizen, has answered. There
has to be an issue to acampaign, I sup
pose, and there was an issue in this one.
"1 would like to have the newspapers
eay Just one thing for me, and that Is
this: I am not the only man defeated in
this battle. I am not the only one to see
bis principles shattered and his Idol
dragged in the dust of defeat. I have
many friends throughout fhe Eastern part
of the Btate who were represented in the
convention, and they went down to defeat
with me.
"I want to express my appreciation for
their efforts and my friendship for them.
They are my friends, and friends who
Xought with me and bled for me, and I
will never forget them. The time may
come some day when I will be able to
ehow them my full appreciation, but if
that time never does come, I want them
to understand that I -will not forget them
and the -way they stood by me to the very
last."

LOOK INTO ELECTIVE SYSTEM.
Faculty of University of Oregon May
Adopt Stanford Plan.
"UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eugene,
May 3Z (Special.) Advisability of com
plete elective system was brought before
the faculty meeting, held today, for the
purpose of arranging university courses.
The plan was not brought before the
meeting without due consideration but was
a manifestation of a general desire that
has been growing for several months.
When the consideration was put to a vote
a majority of the members of the faculty
were friendly toward the movement.
As a consequence of the fact that an Im
mediate change could not -well be made a
committee of five members of the faculty
was appointed to make a careful study of
the general work done throughout the
state high schools, and a report will be
made next Fall regarding the subjects
that must be required for entrance under
such an -elective -system aswill be In
stalled. The elective system will not go
Into effect until the Fall of 1SG5.
There is some discussion Just at present
as to what kind of an elective system will
be adopted, whether fashioned after the
plan now in use at Harvard, which is en
tirely elective, or whether such a plan as
is used at Stanford is advisable, in which
case a few credits in the major subject
are required. Whatever plan Is forced into
use will meet with the approval of the
students and it Is generally understood
that the faculty favors the Stanford sys
tem. BISHOP OPENS CONFERENCE.

GOVERNOR SAYS STATE CANNOT
INTERFERE IN LOCAL DISPUTE.
Advises the Formation of s Strong
Organization to Back Efforts
' of County Officers.
SALEM, Or., May 02. SpeciaL Gov
ernor Chamberlain sees no sneans of sup
pressing lawlessness on the range in Lake
County except through the efforts of
people of that county. The Governor has
been indisposed for several days and has
been confined to his room, but read with
great regret the accounts of wholesale
sheep killing near Lakeview. On his re-
turn to his office today he was asked
whether state authorities can do any
thing to prevent similar outrages in the
future.
"The trouble seems to be due entirely to
local conditions and local differences," he
replied, "and I think local people must
find a remedy. There is no law authoriz
ing me to offer a reward for the arrest
of the men who committed the offenses.
"I do not think any one man can suc
cessfully attempt to bring the offenders
to justice. The men who were guilty of
killfng sheep by the hundred are rough
men, whose manner of life has made them
reckless and they will shoot with slight
provocation! A District Attorney can do
nothing to bring them to account.
"I think that an organization of law
abiding citizens, formed by men who will
stand together, might be effective. They
could offer a reward and give the officers
of the law assurance of loyal backing in
their work. Such an organization would
arouse public opinion and make it easier
to find the guilty persons. One or"two
men cannot do anything working alone."

Thacker, of Wells-Fargo & Co., who has
just arrived here from Seattle, said to
day: "It is known" positively that George
Gates was in Portland on April 28. That
would give him. Just time enough to
catch the steamer that sailed from Seattle
on the 29th.
"The police of Australia have been no
tified, and if Gates is on the- Aorangi it
looks very mucli as though we had him.
When we do catch the men. the case
against them is clear. There is no doubt
that the Gates boys and Arnett held up
the train at Copley on March 31 and mur
dered Express Messenger O'Neill, and
there will be little trouble In proving It."
If George Gates sailed on April 29, as it
is thought he did, the steamer is due to
touch Auckland about May 18. A cable
gram on that day may announce the ar
rest of the outlaw, who will"be returned
to this country on the next steamer
bound for this port.' Should the Aorangi
steam on to Sydney before touching at
a New Zealand port, news will come a day
or so later .

had been seen there. The man's capture
seemed assured then, but he was in
formed of the detective's plans and es
caped. Gates Intended to sail for Au
stralia, as he stated in the letter to his
mother and to Mrs. Whiteman. and it Is
thought he got away- on the Aorangi on

Evidence Against Gates.
REDDING, Cal., May 1Z According to
Detective William Ahern, who has been
at work on th Copley train robbery
case since an hour after the commission,
of the crime, the trunk found in the room
of Bruce Van Drake (George Gates) at
Dunsmuir, which Gates was anxious In
his letters to Mrs. Whiteman to have
destroyed, contained evidence that not
only clearly established George Gates'
connection with the Copley case, but held,
evidence that Just as clearly showed that
George Gates was leader of the gang
which held up several streetcars In Port
land and terrorized Seattle last Summer.
The evidence found in the trunk show
ing Gates' connection with the Northern
streetcar holdups is a pair of shoes. They
are patent leathers, with peculiar scal
lops where the uppers and bodies of the
shoes meet. At the time of the Portland
and Seattle streetcar holdups it was re
marked that the leader of the gang stood
back and directed operations; that he
was tall, erect and square-shouldered, a
description which the Oregon and Wash
ington officers now realize fits George
Gates, although they were then looking
for a soldier as the leader of the gang.
That leader always had on patent leather
shoes with peculiar scallops, similar to
those found in George Gates' trunk at
Dunsmuir since the Copley affair.
The detectives as yet have nothing to
convince them that Vernon Gates was
connected with the Northern holdups.

Announce Rernarkable Discovery
Made by Them in Montana.

Lolo Hot Springs, which has Just reached
this city, tells of a big strike of copper

Its extraction profitable.
