THE MORNING OBEGONlXN, SATURD'AT, DECEMBEB 31, 190 9 WORKING FOR MILLS His Supporters Believe They Can Defeat Kay. TIE-UP WITH VAWTER LIKELY Kuykendall Forces in the Senate Will Probably Assist the Multnomah Candidate for Speaker Change Mining Tax. Notwithstanding T. B. Kay's an nounoomont that he can win the Speakership against Multnomah, the boomors of A. ii Mills in this county are confident that Mr. Kay has counted more votes than arc coming: to him. It is understood that behind Mr. Mills will be the Republican organization of the state as well as of this county. Influences are now at work to snatch away members of the lower house who are said to have tied themselves up to Mr. Kay. Indications are that the or ganization in the Senate which will be headed probably by Dr. Kuykendall, of Lane, and which Is allied with the forces now behind Mr. Mills, will use Its power of legislation In the upper chamber to pull men from Mr. Kay to the Multnomah candidate in the lower chamber. "The fellows who want appropria tions and other things from the Legis lature have got to stand In," declared one of the men yesterday who Is at tho head of the Kuykendall-Mills move ment. Mills and Vawter May Unite. An alliance will be attempted be tween the Mills forces and the Vawter contingent from Southern Oregon. Mr. Vawter, who hails from Jackson Coun ty, and who is himself a candidate for the Speakership, has frequently signi fied his desire to go in with Multnomah. But he has three allies who are claimed by Kay after they shall have left him. They are believed to be Gray and Son neman, of Douglas, and Jackson, of Jackson County. The other three votes whloh arc Vawter's those of Hermann, of Coos, and Von der Hellen, of Jack son, and his own are said to be avail able for a tie-up with Multnomah. Hermann is irreconcilably hostile to Kay. Mr. Vawter Is expected to arrive at Portland in a day or two, ready to 'talk business." Inasmuch as he has votos which are claimed by Kay after the Marion man shall have withdrawn, it will bo a study whether to invite Vawter to deliver his followers to Multnomah's candidate at once or to wait until Kay has shown up all his strength. Multnomah for Kuykendall. Prom present appearances Multnomah Will give Kuykendall all its seven votes. The only doubtful vote of the scvon that of C W. Nottingham will go with the other six if nothing shall arise between now and the meeting of the Icgislaturo to change Mr. Notting ham's mind. Yesterday Mr. Notting ham said that while he had not pledged himself to stay with tho other Sena tors of his delegation, still he believed "there will bo no trouble." Mr. Not tingham added that he was strongly of the opinion that Dr. Kuykendall will be elected President' Mr. Nottingham yesterday offered Mr. Mills whatever aid his place in the Senate could con tribute to Mr. Mills' success in the House. ' TRACING THE MURDERER, Mrs. Bouton and Franklin Seen in Vicinity of Crime. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 30. Milton Franklin and Mrs. Bessie Bouton. the latter bolleved to be the victim of the Cutler Mountain murder, wore in Color edo Springs as late as Sunday, Nov. 27, according to the Information unearthed by the city detectives today. This would bring their presence in this city down to within a few days of the time it is be livod the murder was committed. A woman believed to bo Mrs. Bouton was seen in North Cheyenne Canon on Sunday. Novembor 20, and again on Sun day. November 27. Franklin, it is posi tively stated, was haved in a local bar ber shop one day during the week begin ning Novembor 20. "Whore he spent the intervening time has not yet been learned, but the officers are tracing the matter. Another clew that was furnished to the officers today was from two well-known purveyors of this city who, on December K, were driving up North Cheyenne Canyon when they were overtaken by a man who answers the description of Franklin and who was carrying a bundle rf soft material. The goneral appearanco of the man caused considerable comment, as ho did not appear to be a man accus tomed to hard manual labor. Tho en gineers are convinced that the man. enr tercd tho canyon from Cutler Mountain. Thej' say that Instead of passing the time of day, as is customary in the moun tains when people pass each other, the stranger hung his head and appeared to desire to avoid recognition. INCORPORATES IN MAINE. New Company Is Supposed to Carry Cudahy Interests. AUGUSTA, Me., Dec. 30. (Special.) A certificate of Incorporation has been filed here by tho Pacific American Fish cries Company, with a capital of $1,500,000. The president Is G. N. B. Lowes, of Chi cago, and the treasurer is M. W. Bald win, of Portland. The directors include these two, with J. R. Griffin, J. J. Her nan, H. E. "Watson and A. S. ConanL The new organization Is believed to be that of the Cudahy interests, represented by the Doming & Gould Company, and marks another step in their re-entrance In to the salmon world. E. B. Doming, the "Western representa tive f these interests and a practical salmon man. left this coast hurriedly a short time ago for Chicago, and It was no secret that he was called there to per fect plans for the new organization which would control their recent purchases of Salmon properties. The question agitating the minds of many salmon men today is what action this new company will take at the sales of the Pacific Packing & Navigation Company's properties to be held in tho near future at Juneau, Alaska. At the former sale Mr. Deming bid on .two Alaska properties, but although the bids wore low he withdrew thorn without wait ing to learn whether or not they would be confirmed. Should ho replace these bids at the Juneau sale and acquire con trol of even ono or two Alaska proper ties his company would then be one of tho most powerful factors in the salmon market. Leave the Church Out of It. LONDON. Dec 30. Row Harry A. Mason, vicar of St. Stephen's, North Bow and Rural Dran of Poplar, an nounces in his parish magazine that he would rather not oonduct the serv ice for "marriages of necessity" or in the case of the guilty parties in di vorce oases. "Surh porsons have no -right to claim or expect the divine blessing on their union," he writes. 'The proper place for porsons who, having done wrong, wish to be legally united, is the office of the Register, where the civil sanction of the state can be given without degrading reli gion by crediting it with connivance at sin." DIES IN THIBET. American Explorer Who Went in Ad vance of Younghusband. CHICAGO, Dec SO. "Word has reached Chicago of the death of Francis H. Nich ols, of this city, in Thibet. He was heading for L'Hassa, the "Forbidden City." and started on his long trip before the British expedition under Colonel Younghusband was formed. He was trav eling with a few Chinese. Details of his death were meager. It Is said a native courser brought the news to a mission ary on the Chinese border. Nichols was a correspondent during the Spanish-American "War. Returning from Cuba, he was selected to supervise the distribution of a famine iund collected for sufferers In China. Afterward he wrote "Through Hidden Shenshi." which was published in a magazine. As a result of his experiences in China, Nichols determined to go overland through Thibet and work his way to L'Hassa. "With money of his own and a fund furnished him by the American Geographical Society, he started on his expedition, leaving on March 27, 1903. He went to China first, and getting ex cellent credentials from the government, started overland toward the Thibetan border. It was his plan to live some time in the country, learning the language and getting points on the habits of the coun try before starting for the gates of L'Hassa. It is regarded as probable he died be fore reaching that place. Mrs. Mattern, Famous Artist. NEW YORK, Dec 30.

From the tenor of your editorial on "The Local Parcels Post," in The Oregonlan of December 27, one would think you were cham pioning a "sarcastic" cause or endeavoring to destroy rural free delivery. The rural letter carriers re grot very much that The Oegonlan and at least two other loading- papers of the United States should take Secretary Cowles, of the Postal Progress League, to be In ear nest in bis recommendation for a parcels post. He is either indulging in a flnc bit of sarcastic humor, or else he has insects under his thatch. "Wo do not believe that he is attempting to Injure rural free delivery in making hla ab surd recommendations, but if his suggestions are adopted that will be the ultimate end of the system. Being a rural lettercarrJer and thoroughly fa miliar with the work, I do not hesitate to say that 00 per cent of the present force in tho United States will resign if a law should bo panned requiring us to carry packages weigh ing 200 pounds or measuring six feet in length. We have buggies and carts and light mall wagons, with light horses, which have cost us an average of $200 apiece. "With such convey ances, wc are not prepared to carry heavy articles, nor have we ever done ao. If we should be required to deliver such heavy par cels as Secretary Cowles proposes we would have to quit, because we could not do eo with our present facilities, and but few of us would go to the expense of buying heavier and cost lier wagons and horsoa. Then, too, but very few of us are phyvically ablo to handle such' large packages, many carriers being only boys, others girls, and some are aged veterans of the Civil War. Very few would be ablo to do the lifting required, and they would surely seek a Job with some truck and dray company if they had to do such work, for the pay would be better and the expenses less. From the standpoint of the Postoflice De partment, the plan is not feasible. Clerks and carriers are instructed to expedite the malta, which Include in great part the news papers of the world. The Oregonlan among them. If wo were required to handle freight In heavy wagons, wo would be delaying the letters and papers, and instead of making our trips in a tew hours we would be all day on the routes, and you can readily perceive what the result would be. In the City of Washington there have been enemies to rural free delivery in high places. Many of our newspapers have not been friend ly toward the service, and there are kickers against the system everywhere, but It seems that others whom we know to be our friends are making a great mistake. Among them Is the American Grange Bull Win, official paper of the National Grange. It thinks Sccrotary Cowles is doing Just the right thing, and yet the National Grange is the mother of rural free delivery. The San Francisco Argonaut, too, seems to have made the error of in dorsing the scheme, and there are many others. Now, in justice to an underpaid class of pub lic servants, wc would request that such ab surd plans be burled deep down in oblivion by newspaper opinions instead of being approved as a good thing. The lettercarriers, the people, the whole Nation except the express and rail road companies, would welcome a parcels post service that would Increase the postal reve nues and not be a burden to the carriers nor dolay the legitimate mail matter; but when a measure Is proposed whloh would menace the rural free delivery system. It seems that "sane" people and "sane" newspapers should think three times before speaking. EUGENE L. THORP. TWO .MEN BUENED. Also Feared That Unknown Men Per ished in the Flames.

TO COMBINE LOCAL OFFICES Consolidation Will Have Effect of Abolishing Portland Office of the Chicago & St. Paul Line Forces Slightly Changed. R. R. Ritchie, Pacific Coast agent of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, reached the city last night on the delayed South ern Pacific train, from his headquarters at San Francisco, and will today 'begin the merging of the offices of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha with those of the Chicago & Northwestern road. These two lines both go to make up the Northwestern system, but heretofore, for various reasons, the offices have been kept separate and distinct. It Is now thought best, however, for reasons of economy and convenience, to put the local offices of the Northwest under one head, and with this end In view the offices of the two com panies at Portland, Seattle, Spokane and Helena will each be put under the charge of the one company or the other. In Portland the office of the Chicago & St. Paul line will be abandoned and the business will be consolidated with that of the Chicago & Northwestern. The changes In the forces of the two offices, however. will bo slight, and. such as they are, were announced last night by .Mr. Kitcme. The office of general agent will be filled by "W. A. Cox, who has been up to this time general agent for the Northwestern at Philadelphia, and who will reach Port- land in a day or. two to assume charge of his new duties on January 1, when all the changes go into effect. H. B. "Barker, who has occupied the po sition of general agent for the Chicago & Northwestern, will from January 1 be the assistant general agent, though his duties will bo practically the same as they have been heretofore. A. J. Leland and C. J. Gray, now trav eling agents for the Omaha line, will bo the two traveling agents under the con solidation. C. E. Bockmann will serve aa passenger and ticket agent, which is prac tically the same position ho now holds. J. B. Alexander, now stenographer and freight and passenger agent for the Omaha lines, will be the stenographer for tho new office, with the same duties as heretofore. C. R, 'fully will be the mes senger, which position he now holds. H. L. Slsler, now genoral agent of the Chi cago, SL Paul, Minneapolis- & Omaha, will be transferred to Seattle, where ho will hold the position of assistant general agent of the same road. The offices of the two companies at Helena and Spokane will also be merged and put under the control of the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha. Mr. Ritchie will remain in Portland for several days superintending the changes that are to be made, and will then go on to Seattlo and the other cities where ho is to consolidate the offices under the juris diction of one or the other of the two companies of the big Northwestern sys tem. RETURN OF E. E. CALVIN. Still Believed He Will Manage the Southern Pacific Lines. E. E. Calvin, general manager of tho O. R. & N. Co. and the Southorn Pacific lines in Oregon, returnod to his home last night on tho delayed Southern Pa cific train, after an extended visit In Salt Lake City and California. It has been persistently rumored that Mr. Calvin Is slated to succeed Charlos Markham as general manager of the Southern Pacific, with headquarters at San Francisco, but no confirmation of the rumor can be secured. The recent visit of Mr. Calvin to Sun Francisco and his lengthy trip over the California lines of tho Southern Pacific, however, lead to the belief that the story Is cor rect and that the Portland official will soon leave this city for San Francisco and the largor position. HAVE SOME NEW PLAYS. Multnomah Will Experiment on Seat, tie in New Year's Game. There was no practice last night, but the team will be out in full force to night for practice and will go through a stiff lot of work. Manager Watkins received a communi cation from Seattle yesterday stating that the Seattle team will be groatly strength ened over the team that defeated- Mult nomah there two weeks ago, and that they expect to win by at least two touch downs. From this it would seem that Multnomah has Its work cut out. Multnomah will have a few new plays to to' on Seattle, and if they fail to work. Coach Murphy will fall back upon straight football, and he can bo depended upon to discover any weak spot In Seat tle's line and to pound away at It, when it is once located. In spite or the' "bluo and white's" great line, they will be op posed by players worthy of their best ef forts In Pratt, Stow, Ross, Seeley, Kel ler, Jordan, Dowllng and StotL and will find it hard to gain consistently through these men. Chauncey Bishop has con sented to act as referee and with "Count" Villa as -umpire, tho spectators aro as sured of a good, clean game. The game will bo called at 2:20 P. M. and will be over before dusk. IN BRAWN DEPARTMENT.. Coaches for Rowing, Track and Base ball Arranged For. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seat tle, Doc 30. (Special.) Graduate Man ager Robert Evans, of the University of Washington, has been hard at work dur ing the present college vacation arranging matters for the coming year. He will take his office on the first day of January, and will have charge of university affairs during the remainder of the present colle giate year and the first four months of the coming year. While the matter of coaches has not been definitely settled, Evans feels that the athletes will be taken care of by the very best of men. Jim Knight will be the coach for rowing. Dr. Roller of track athletics, and Professor Thorpe will look after the baseball Inter ests. Tho manager believes that this combi nation will satisfy tho athlotes. Knight Is practically the only man that could handle rowing In Washington at this time. His knowledge of conditions and his keen In terest and enthusiasm for tho eport will be needed to onablo tho University of Washington to put out a crew able to compote against the University of Califor nia. While little, if anything, is known about Dr. Roller's ability to take care of a track team, he has a record In- the de partment of athletics which speaks well for his value as a coach. It Is expected that he will develop Tom McDonald into a Coast champion. With the hammer he has made a number of records, and also with the shot. -Professor Thorpe made his reputation as a baseball player while in the Univer sity of .Illinois. He was on one of the best nines that Illinois ever turned out. The baseball' material at Washington this year Is probably the best for the past three yeare, and it is very likely that Thorpe will turn out a winning aggrega tion.

A number of sheep which were grazing on a portion of tho Island were drowned. Efforts are being made to repair tho dike. PENDLETON'S LAST FIGHT. Draw Mill Between Queenan and Mul ten Raises Objections. PENDLETON, Or.. Dec. 30. (Special.) Perry Queenan and Barney Mullen, light weight champion of the Northwest fought a 10-round draw here tonight- The bout was clever, and the men who had met Gans, Walcott Rufo Turner and others of tho top-notchers, gave an exhibition as good as some of tho much-lauded bruising matches of tho cities. There were several hard blows- landed that laid the fighters on the floor, Mullen taking the seven count once. Queenan exhibited the greater ability to undergo punishment, and Mullen would have won on points. This will probably end fighting here for a time at least, as there is much objection from the religious organizations. Grange Committees Meet. The flnal meeting of tho committees appointed last Spring, to work for and secure tho annual convention of the Na tional Grange for Portland and to pro vide for the entertainment of the dele gates while In the city, was held yester day in the rooms of the Portland Com mercial Club.

Victory for the Tigers. The Tigers played their flnal game of basketball with the I. B. C. team on the Y. M. C. A. floor last night, and won out by the score of 27 to 11. Although the L B. C'b were clearly outclassed they put up a scrappy gamd and fought hard at all times to prevent the Tigers from scoring. Of the 11 points secured by tho I. B. C. nine came from throws on ac count of fouls. For this team H. Gan tcnbeln showed great skill at guard, and handled his clever opponent Moore, In good shape. Masters and Merritt were the stars for the Tigers, most of the points won being due to these players. Following this game the Seals and the Scrubs, both of the Y. M. C. A. tried con clusions with the big- ball and baskets. The principal feature to their match was the friendly spirit In which one man would let his opponent take the ball away from him, and often It -was very much of an Alphonse- and Gaston affair. Scores were made so fast that np attempt was made to keep a record of them. Will Send Crew to England. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.

Visits of Experts Indicate Mrs. Chad wick's Plea at Trial. CLEVELAND, Dec. 30. Bcrtlllon measurements were taken of Mrs. Chadwlck today by a Government Se cret Service expert. The purpose of the system Is the identification of crim inals. Investigation discloses that there are jio Bertlllon measures of Mme. Dovere on record at the Ohio Penitentiary. The system was In vogue prior to her coming to the prison, but it had been discontinued when she was incarcerated. Since then the system has been restored. The prison records contain a very minute description of Mme. Devere, however. Dr. C. J. Aldrich, the alienist, again called at the County Jail to see Mrs. Chadwlck today, but upon instructions Issued by United States Marshal Chand ler he was refused admittance. Dr. Aldrich stated that ho was making a study of Mrs. Chadwlck upon the re quest of her counsel, J. P. Dawley.

Eyraan, superintendent of the Massillon State Hospital for the Insane, made an examination of the woman last Tuesday. Dr. Eyman's visit was kept secret at the time. He is one of tho ablest and best known practical alienists and specialists In insanity in Ohio. DR. CHADWICK ARRIVES. Husband of Mental Millionairess Vill Land Today. NEW YORK, Dec. 31.
