Democrats May Lose
Denver County.
PRECINCT VOTE PUT . OUT
Supreme'Court Decides Gross
Frauds Were Committed,
LEGISLATURE IS AFFECTED
Republicans Have to Gain but Few
Votes to Control Both Houses
Governor Peabody Cannot
Overcome-Lead of Adams.
DENVER, Dec. 14. By. deciding today
to throw out the vote.' of Precinct Seven,
Ward Eight, of this city, .owing to alleged
frauds committed there at the late ;elec
tlon, the Supreme Court, established a
precedent that may be .applied to many
other precincts in which, it is alleged, the
court's Injunctive order was violated, and
thereby vitally effect the -results - of the
election. Should similar action be taken
In other cases to the" extent1 demanded by
the Republican lawyers, it will, result In
the election of the entire Republican gov
ernment in this county, and give them
control of both branches of he Legis
lature. In the face of the returns, the
Republicans have a majority In the
House and the Democrats a majority In
the Senate.
Another result of the exclusion of a few
precints would be to put the Republi
cans in possession of all the city and
county offices except the Mayoralty,
should the Supreme Court decide that the
Spring flection was not legal and that
these offices .were to be filled at the No
vember election. The Democratic ma
jorities ran from 700 to 2000.
The returns of lour city precincts in
which election officials have already been
convicted of contempt of court, all of
which may bo ordered thrown out, are as
follows:
Ward Five, Precinct Six, Democratic
257. Republican 56; Ward Five, Precinct
Nine, Democratic 284, Republican 79;
Ward Seven, Precinct Eight, Democratic
196, Republican 21; Ward Seven. Precinct
Ten, Democratic 369, Republican 96.
Totals. Democratic, 1206; Ttepubllcan, 202.
Democratic majority, 1004.
Should the entire vote of eight city
wards, over which the Supreme Court as
sumed jurisdiction, be disregarded, Alva
Adams, Democratic candidate, would
'lose 18,845 votes, and Governor James II.
Peabody 8541, a net loss of 10,304 for
Adams, but this alone would not result in
his defeat, as his - majority in the state
Is something over 11,000.
In. announcing the decision to exclude
the returns of Precinct Eight, Ward
Seven, Chief Justice Gabbert said:
"Frauds cannot be prevented fully
unless the court assumes jurisdiction to
prevent them and power to undo them
in all cases where they are committed In
violation of its orders. A court of equity
has the power to effectuate its orders,
and the motion will, therefore, be sus
tained." f
Dissenting from the opinion of Justices
Gabbert and Campbell, Justice Steele
Said:
"In my opinion, the finding of the
court is unwarranted, unprecedented,
and directly contrary to the law. This
court has no power to take the action
that it has. I had no opportunity to pre
pare a written opinion in the matter, but
I will do so later."
By permission of the Supreme Court,
which had warned all lower courts to
discontinue taking jurisdiction in election
matters during the pendency of contempt
proceedings before the high court, the
grand jury now investigating both the
May and November elections, today
opened the ballot-boxes of Precinct 2,
Ward Six. The particular inquiry was
Into the manner of extending the totals
of votes, cast for all candidates. It was
found that Democratic candidates suffered
losses by reason of extensions being writ
ten after the wrong names.
Democratic leaders charge that the er
rors were not accidental and further al
lege that election officials were influenced
into making the erroneous records.
WOMAN JUDGE THREATENED
Denver Returns Signed Because She
Feared She Would Be Put in Jail.
DENVER, Dec. 14. The hearing of
contempt charges was resumed today by
the Supreme Court, the case from Pre
cinct Two, Ward Seven, being taken up
The defendants are Leonard Rogers,
Democratic candidate for the State Sen
ate; Frank W. Lee, Police Captain;
Michael Geer. Constable; William G.
Adams, Louis Hamburg and John P. Ken
drick. The complaining witness is Jay
Cook. Jr., Supreme Court watcher. The
prosecution presented evidence tending to
show that there was repeating, and bal
lot-box stuffing, lor which the defend
ants were responsible.
Mrs. Anna Anderson, the Republican
Judge, testified that voting of names reg
istered from vacant lots was common.
When she refused to sign the. returns, she
said. Leonard Rogers threatened to put
her in JalL The Republican watchers
were forcibly ejected from the polling
place.
Police Captain Lee, one of the defend
ants, examined the witness in his own be
half and obtained from them admissions
that he. had no part in any disturbances
that occurred and that no complaints were
made to him.
The court ordered Captain Lee dis
charged. The court denied the request of
the Republican attorneys for the opening
of the ballot box irom this precinct on
the ground that the evidence of fraud did
not warrant such a course.
While the trial was In progress Thomas
Kinsley, prizefighter, who was a special
officer In this precinct, was brought Into
court and his name was added to the list
of. defendants. He was arrested upon
passing through the city today.

Mr. Beckwith's statement declared that
they received from Reynolds Information
to the effect "that everything was all
rltrht." and that a large amount of good
securities belonging to Mrs. Chadwlck
was held by the Wade Park Bank. This
encouraged him to make loans to Mrs.
Chadwlck.
Mr. Beckwith's statement set forth the
fact that Mrs. Chadwick had secured large
loans from other bankers and had met
them promptly. There was no reason to
believe that she would not treat loans
made by the Oberlin bank in the same
manner. -
The second witness was T. K. Whitney.
Township Treasurer of Oberlin. "He said
James Severance, treasurer of Oberlin
College, narrated the facts connected' with
loans made to Mrs. Chadwlck by tne coi

WHAT
HERE ARE CHANGES
Gresham Informs the: World
. ' of Its Needs. - .
WANT ALL KINDS OF WORKERS
Doctor, Baker, Banker, Dressmaker,
Milliner, Hotelkeeper, Singing
Teacher and Lawyer Will Be
. Welcomed.
"I am delegated by the City Council to
tell you what Gresham wants," said Mrs.
Julia D. Regner, of Gresham, yesterday,
calling at The Oregonian Otflce.
"Gresham is an Incorporated city now,
but is so close to Portland that people do
not think of It as one.
"Gresham needs a doctor, and a lawyer
and a bakery and a bank; a dressmaker,
a milliner and a hotelkeeper.
"They ought to have written them down.
but I guess I have remembered them all.
"Gresham is a nice place with seven
trains a day, but we need a lawyer. There
Is no lawyer there, and every time we
want to draw up a deed or do anything
like that we have to come to Portland. I
thought that you might find some lawyer
in Portland who would like to come out
there There are so many here.
T don't know that there would be law
enough for him to make a living, but "he
could work at -something else the rest of
the time. We couldn't get carpenters
enough last Summer and there is only one
bricklayer in the town.
"The hotel is vacant and we want some
one to keep it." continued the ambassa
dor of the Council. "And we want another
doctor. There is one doctor there now,
but he has so much to do out in the sur
rounding country, as well as in town,
that he. can't handle all his business.
"And the bank. There are 400 people in
Gresham and there Is not a real poor per
son In. the place. I. had to come clear to
Portland today Just to "get some money.
There Is lots of room for a bank.
"We would like also tohave a singing
teacher. There are lots "of young people
out at'Gresham and they, should be taught
to sing by, right. principles. We ought to
have a teacher, and a singing school, so
that-the boys and girls would have some
place -to go and learn 'to sing."
Today the 'exodus for Gresham should
begin.
Women, Seeking Aims Barred.
HEW -YORK, Dec 14. Proprietors of
several well-known hotels, restaurants
and cafes in- Broadway " especially in the
.theater district, have adopted ,a-ruIeofM

excluding women of the Salvation Army
and Volunteers of America, who seek
contributions from patrons.
At some of the hostelrles it was stated
that there bad been no objection to' the
women when they came singly, but that
recently halt a dozen were seeking dona
tions at the same time, and guests had
been annoyed to such an extent that it
had been decided to adopt the new rule
excluding them entirely. Many leading
hotels have not, however, made a ruling
on the subject.
MANY WILL BE HERE.
Traveling Passenger Agents
Have Great Convention.
Will
The American Association of Travel
ing Passenger Agents, which is now In
annual convention In Mexico City and
which voted, a couple of days ago, to
make Portland the convention city of
1905, is composed of about 500 members
from all parts of the United States and
Canada. There ari now about 200 of
the members in attendance at the an
nual meeting In Mexico.
It is thought that a large majority
of the membership will take advantage
of the opportunity to come to Portland
next year. The regular time of the
meeting is in September, but an effort
will be made to place the next conven
tion a little earlier In order that the
visitors will have a chance to see the
Fair in. full swing, and also that they
may be here In the best season of tho
year.
This convention, while It will not be
so large In numbers as many others
scheduled for the coming year, will
nevertheless be one of the most im
portant. Each member of the associa
tion Is a man who annually covers
many thousands of miles throughout
the different parts of the United States,
and if these people areehown the many
advantages of the West, which In many
cases are now unknown, the effect can
not be other than beneficial.
A' great dear of crOdlt Is to be given
M. J. Roche, of this city, who, aS travel
ing passenger agent of the Denver &
Rio Grande, has worked earnestly to
bring the ' convention here and who
made the speech placing Portland in
nomination for the honor.

HIS WAR ON FRAUD
President Roosevelt Started
the Investigation.
HITCHCOCK NOT RESPONSIBLE
Unfriendliness to Congressmen Not
the Motive, Says Colonel Greene,
but Determination to Punish
Flagrant Criminals.
Colonel A.'R. Greene, special inspector
for the Department of the Interior, who
has devoted two yeara to the unearthing
of land frauds in this state, as the spe
cial representative of President Roose
velt, consented yesterday to give a state
ment clearing up various perplexing- fea
tures connected with the prosecutions of
land-fraud conspirators upon the Pacific
slope.
Colonel Greene's statement definitely
fixes the responsibility for the prosecu
tlons upon President Roosevelt, and at
the same, time denies that the prosecu
tlons are being pushed at the instance of
Secretary Hitchcock because of his al
leged unfriendliness toward certain rep
resentatives of this state In the Congress
of the United States. The statement fol
lows:
President nooseveit Responsible.
"The present Investigation into the con
dltlon of public lands In this country, and
the prosecutions that have resulted so far
have been at the Instance of President
Roos'evelt personally. It is a mistake to
attribute the activity in the prosecution
of land frauds to Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock alone, as if he were the orig
inator of the policy. He Is the unfllnch
lng and uncompromising agent to execute.
tne courageous win or tne resident, and
the utmost harmony prevails and doubt
less will prevail between them in this
matter. The President, when he became
Informed over two years ago that infrac
tlons of the public land laws4 especially
in the timbered regions of the Pacific
Coast, were assuming gigantic propor
tions, resolved upon applying the most
drastic remedies within his power. These
violations of the public land laws were
not confined to Oregon; Indeed, it is
doubtful If equally as great or greater
frauds were not being perpetrated in Cal
lfornla, Washington, Idaho, Montana and
possibly other public-land states.
"PerbajM ona reason why the invest!
gations In Oregon have received greater
notoriety was because the Commissioner
of the General Land Office under whose
administration the greatest frauds were
committed was a resident of this state.
"It will be remembered that the first
Important prosecutions were begun m

prominent violators of the law In the
States of Idaho. California. Colorado ana
Washington before the investigation of
the Oregon frauds began.
The attack on land frauds, which be
gan 24 years ago, centered in uregon
chiefly because it wa3 the point of least
resistance; in other words, the frauds in
this state had assumed a more flagrant
and defiant character than elsewhere, and
the' agents and abettors of the crimes be
ing committed seemed to offer, more vul-
erable lines of approach than else
where."
' Special "correspondents at Washington
have attributed the reason for Oregon's
being, singled out as a point of most
lsorous attack to an alleged personal
animosity said to exist between the Sec
retary of the Interlorand Congressman
Binger Herman. Regarding this Colonel
Greene said:
It Is preposterous to say that this at
tack was made against Commissioner
Hermann personally, for he was.no more
Commissioner of the State of Oregon tnan
that of any other public-land state of the
Union. Indeed, it might reasonably have
been assumed that violators of the land
laws would be more careful and fearful
of detection in the Commissioner's Own
state than elsewhere because of the
fidelity with which he would defend the
good name of his own state. In fact, the
determination of the seat of war m ure
gon was more of an accident than other
wise, and came about through the com
paratively small matter of investigating
the Surveyor-Generals office of tnis
state.
This investigation was begun In the
Spring of 1302, and during the progress of
It a most appalling condition was uncov
ered in regard to the public surveys dur
ing the period since 1S97. A part of the
results of this Investigation were the sus
pension of all surveying contracts then
uncompleted, the covering back into tne
treasury of the $20,000 appropriated for
public surveys for the years 1902-03,. the
peremptory dismissal of the chisf clerk
and Surveyor-Genera) Henry Meldrum.
and the trial, and -conviction of the latter
for forgery of the names of alleged set
tlers for surveying contracts which he
let to relatives without advertisement and
at excessive rates. Fourteen surveying
contracts, taken at random from among
the number which have been let during
the administration of this officer and his
predecessor were found-to "be fraudulent.
and on all of those to which the statute
of limitation has not applied prosecutions
will follow.
How Frauds Were Discovered.
"Tne investigation of the Surveyor-Gen
eral's office Involved an examination in
the field in more than half the counties of
the State of Oregon, and. while this ex
amination was going on a mass of facts
came into the possession of the agents of
the Interior Department in regard to
fraudulent entries of land throughout the
state, and it was from disclosures thus
obtained that the prosecutions now pend-.
ing were brought.
"It should be said, in justice to the
United States District Attorney for the
District of Oregon. Hon. John H. Hall,
that, up to the time of the Investigations
last referred to, he had not received such
support from representatives of the In
terior Department as he had reason to
expect, several of such agents having
been In the employ of the land ring and
hindering, rather than helping, the ends
of justice. Actions are brought upon in
formation, and with few exceptions it
was. apparently the policy of the special
agents to cover up and condone rather
than .expose and. punish Infractions of the
land laws.
"So fully satisfied was President Roose
velt of the ability and earnestness of Mr.
Hall that he was reappointed without
consulting the wishes of the Oregon dele
gation." INDULGES IN GUNPLAY.
Fireman Has His Life Threatened in
Second-Hand Store.
A sensational gunplay occurred last
night in an auction store operated by S.
Mazarousky, at Third and' Burnside
streets, according to the statements to
Captain Moore of H. Holt, a plpeman on
the -fireboat George H. Williams. He Is
corroborated by Mike Long, Mat Mattson
and Ole Larson, who claim they wit
nessed the affair.
In addition to the alleged drawing of a
revolver and a threat to kill Holt, made
by. a man whose name Is not known at
thl3 time. Holt alleges he was "film
flammed" out of $5 by the auctioneer. In
fact, it was the loss of the money that
brought on the other trouble.
Holt alleges he bid 10 cents for a foun
tain pen( and that it was sold to him. He
says he' placed a $3 gold piece on the
counter, and that the cashier switched it,
placing a nickel there in its stead.
Captain Moore detailed Policeman Tee-
vin to investigate the case, and he report
ed back, that Mazarousky and the other
men in the store denied everything. Holt
was Instructed to call upon Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Haney this morning and
swear to a complaint against the man he
claims switched the nickel on him and the
one who threatened, as he alleges, to kill
him.
Mazarousky has a very bad reputation
In police circled, he having been under ar
rest numerous times for serious offenses.
WANTS NEW BRIDGES.
Consolidated Railway Threatens to
Take Mattero In Its Own Hands.
The Portland Consolidated Railway Com
pany wants new and safe bridges for Its
use. as well as for the public, ana nas in
formed the Mayor that unless the city
takes Immediate steps to repair the old
and dangerous bridges on Grand avenue,
between East Oak and East Stark, and
the equally unsafe structure on Williams
avenue at Weldler street, the Railway
company will put the bridges in good con
dltlon and charge the cost to the city.
The Mayor, in replying to the letter of
C. F. Swlgert. manager of the company,
promises that the repairs will be made as
.rapidly as possible; that plans have been
drawn for the structures for some time.
and the only thing delaying proceedings
was the objections of the property-owners
who do not want to be submitted to the
extra expense entailed by the construction
of the bridges.
HURRY TO PAY TAX.
Delinquents Get Busy to Avoid Be
ing Arrested.
The publication of the names of
those merchants who had neglected to
pay their occupation tax brought
number of the delinquents to the license
department at the City Hall in a hurry
yesterday. Wararnts had been made
out for them and they did not like the
Idea of being arrested. Therefore the
money rolled In all day, Two more war
rants, one for the Povey Bros. Glass
Company, and the other for the Hay
wood Bros. & waKeneid company, were
made out In the Municipal Court yes
terday morning.
The occupation tax ordinance pro
vides a heavy penalty. All those threat
ened with arrest have been repeatedly
notified by the inspectors.
GREENE HAS QUIT
Boston People Will Not
See Lawson in Fight
BIG CROWD DISAPPOINTED
Many Gather in the Street Ex
pecting Clash Any Moment,
TRAFFIC IS GREATLY IMPEDED
Colonel Now Declares He Had No Idea
of Making a Gunplay, but Loss
of Millions Would Anger
Any Man.
BOSTON, Dec: 14. (Special.) Col
onel William C. Greene, of Arizona and
New Tork, sorely disappointed a crowd
of several thousand people today by his
continued failure to make good his
half-page threats to do somethings aw
ful to Thomas W. Lawson. But the
failure of today was not without Its
compensations, for thelncldent has
now become one of the funniest things
that ever happened in Boston and New
York financial circles. The morning"
newspapers had been unable to get
from Colonel Greene any satisfactory
statement as to his excuse for not
showing: up yesterday and having it
out with Lawson.
At 2:30 the crowd began to gather
in the square in State street in front
of the old State House, anxious to wit
ness the expected meeting of Lawson
and Greene, and at 3:30 there were sev
eral thousand there and a squad of
police was called out to keep the
street-car tracks open and assist truck
men on their way. Lawson himself left
his room In Young's Hotel and walked
unaccompanied to his office on State
street, the windows of which overlook
the scene of tho anticipated meeting.
From these windows he looked out Into
the square until 3:30. Then he was
driven to his home. While tho crowd
was waiting to see the fun a message
had come from New York saying the
telegram to Lawson saying he waa on
the 10 o'clock train was a "fake," put
up by some practical joker.
Greene was further quoted as say
ing: "I decline to be egged. I won't
be driven into anything rash. A lot of
people would like to see me make a
fool of myself."
"But," said the reporter, "you volun
tarily stated to the public through the
advertising columns of the New York
and Boston papers that you would go
to Boston and have it out with Law-
son.
"I was hot when I said it," answered
the Colonel. "It would make any man
hot to lo3e several millions. I never
meant to make a gun play. The epi
sode is closed. Lawson is all right,
but he has no right to pound me. I
repeat that the episode is closed."
