THE MORyiyg 'jDREGOKIAK, SATIJBDAY, 'APRIL IS, 1905. 5 LIGHTNING RODS UP Towne and Hearst Out Democratic Choice, for BOTH AMONG THE RADICALS Variegated Career of Towne Ha3 Landed Him in Tammany Hearst Literary Bureau Booms Him on Rate Issue. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 14. The redlcal Democracy, as represented by men who were friends of Bryan in 1895 and 1900, has taken a great deal of heart as a result of the Chi cago election, and Is already predicting that the radical Democracy will not only be on top in the party In IMS. but will also be triumphant In thb elections. One of the most ardent -Bryan men at ihe St. Louis convention last year was Charles A. Towne, who had been a Re publican Representative from Minnesota, who left the parts' in 1S96 on the silver Issue, who was appointed a Democratic Senator from Minnesota to succeeed the late Cushman K. Davis, and who later removed to New York and is- now a Dem ocratic representative from that city. Towne was very much opposed to Park er's nomination at St. Louis. Ho was on of the extremists, who, with Murphy, Bourko Cockran and others, joined with Bryan, "Weaver, the Hearst representa tives and a number of other intense radl :als to prevent Parker's nomination. It is rather interesting to note that Towne himself had ambitions at that time. Some of his friends pointed out that as much money could be raised for Towne as could be raised for Parker; that there was a certain conservative business element behind Towne, should he oe nominated, that would insure a sub stantial campaign fund. More than that. It was pointed out that Towne would secure the earnest support of Tammany is well as all of the Bryan following in the West. It seems a little chimerical to think of Charles A. Towne as a Presi dential possibility, but still he was one of the men that Tammay would have united on to beat Parker at St. Louis, if there had been any opportunity to do so. Hearst Against Towne. Towne is a good talker and he may take a place in the E9th Congress that will bring him prominently to the front as a Democratic leader. But It Is doubtful if he would be satisfactory to any of the other radical leaders, especially men like' Hearst and Bryan. Hearst opposed Tammany before and Is ready to oppose Tammany again. Hearst has already announced his opposition to McClellan, although it Is more than likely McClellan will be re-elected Mayor of New York City in spite of Hearst or any other op position. Towne's connection with Tam many is sufficient to bring about the op position of Hearst. Bryan's opposition can be counted on because Bryan wants to be In the running himself. If there is a possibility of electing a man, Bryan wants to be that man. Speaking of Hearst. It Is recalled that announcement was made for him by some of his henchmen that he would not, after Jils present term in Congress, be a candi date for any other public office.. Pos sibly that is true, but after having re ceived 200 votes in a Democratic National convention and since Democracy is now turning to radicalism, there is no reason why Hearst .should not again be a candi date for President and secure another large batch of votes, if not a nomination. In fact Hearst must be a candidate. During the preliminary campaign a year ago, and In fact for nearly a year in advance of the convention, there was a Hearst literary bureau at work and thou sands of letters were sent out to weekly Democratic papers all over the country booming him. Every letter mentioned Hearst in some favorable manner. That bureau Is still at work, and it is quite interesting to watch its method of keep ing Hearst before the people. Literary Bureau at Work. All through the last session of Con gress this bureau constantly mentioned Hearst in connection with the railroad rate bills. The letters also denounced the other Democrats for substituting the Davy bill for the Hearst bill, and Inci dentally ' criticised the Republicans for not" -allowing a vote on the Hearst bill. Following this up. the letters discussed President Roosevelt's attitude, and while in a way mentioning that he seems In earnest about rate legislation, said that lie will not be able to accomplish any thing because the bills which he cham pions are not designed to meet the con ditions, and that the only way to get legislation which will bring practical re sults is to adopt the Hearst bills. After this has been written up and every phase of it has been discussed, then there will follow a number of letters written on Hearst's personality, coming in the nature of a denial of some story about Hearst and ending with some praise of him and his work for the people. Possibly the publishers of these letters are not aware that they are from the Hearst bureau. It Is quite likely that some of them do not care. Here in Washington it is well known where the letters come from, who Is writing them and why they are being sent. Their object seems to be plain they are for the purpose of booming Hearst, keeolntr his name before the people with' a view of having the people rally around him and elect Hearst delegates to the convention that meets in 190S. MORE INDICTMENTS COMING Beef Trust Looks Forward to Today With Trembling. CHICAGO, April 14. More indictments.

STRIKE BACK AT THE FARMERS Kansas Grain-Dealers Turn Search light on Another Trust. TOPEKA, Kas.. April 14. Members of the State Grain Dealers' Association have asked the Attorney-General for an opin ion as to' the status of the National Farm ers Exchange, the immense combine of farmers which is doing business in Kan sas. This organization has subsidiary companies scattered over Kansas, Okla homa, Nebraska and other states. It is capitalized for $50,000,000 under the laws of South Dakota, but it hag never been admitted to Kansas by -the State Charter Board. To get this authority would re quire a payment of 110.000 Into the State Treasury. GETTING FACTS ON OIL RATES Garfield Begins Study of Records In Santa Fe Offices. TOPEKA, Kas., April 14. Commissioner of Corporations Garfield spent today tak ing evidence at the Santa Fe general offices here regarding the connection of that road with the Standard OH Com pany in the matter of rates- on oil. He Is covering the same ground as the suit started by the oil producers against the Santa Fe, alleging conspiracy. Mr. Gar field, called on-J. JU KoontZj general freight agent of the Santa Fe, today and asked him If he would allow a complete overhauling of the company's records that touched upon the point in question. Mr. Koontz replied that the Santa Fe had nothing to hide and that Mr. Gar Held or his men might have access to every freight tariff and record they wanted to see. Mr. Garfield then put his assistants to work in the freight agent's office and they are examining all' the freight tariffs of the past five or six years In order to arrive at the exact truth of what the Santa Fe has been doing. It was announced that nono of the Santa Fe officials would Interfere with . the investigation In any way. All they ask is that the Inquiry be made in an Impartial manner. This assured, they will do all in their power to assist the Federal authorities. There's a Trust, but Can't Prove It. AUSTIN. Tex.. April 14. The Legisla tive committee appointed to Investigate the methods of the "beef trust" and Its operations In Texas,. made a roport today and stated In substance . that, while It had made much inquiry, there had not developed evidence of a specific violation of the antl-trut law on which It could recommend the instigation of civil or crim inal proceedings against any particular person or corporation. The committee, however, expresses the opinion that an illegal combination exists and asks to be continued through the legislative vaca tion to conduct further investigation. The report was adopted.

BECAUSE HIS WIEE LEFT HIM Harry Robertson inflicts Probably Fatal Wound at. Early Morning. Despondent becaua 'of the failure of his attempts to effect a reconciliation with his wife, Harry Robertson, a sten ographer well known In Portland, shot himself above the heart with a 32-callber revolver near the corner of Alder and Fifteenth streets, at-2:30 o'clock. this morn Ing. His wife was at the Hotel Burg, only a short distance away, at the time. Rob ertson was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where he Is In a critical condi tion. " Robertson fired three shots at himself, but only one of them entered his body. uie omer two bullets Inflicting slight nesn wounds. When Robertson fired the first shot he was sitting on the curbing. He placed the revolver against his left breast and pulled the trigger. He fell w me Fiaewanc. out by supreme effort raised himself on his elbow and fired two more shots. He was so weak and excited that he was unable to aim accuratelv The guests at the Hotel Burg heard the Phots and hastened to the scene to find Robertson unconscious on the sidewalk. The patrol wagoa was called and the wounded man was taken to the hospital, bleeding profusely, although he had re gained consciousness. Robertson Is about 25 years of age. He has -been separated from his wife for about a year, and ever since then he has repeatedly threatened to take his life unless she would come back to him. This she refused to do. Early last night Rob ertson inquired at the Hotel Burg for his wife. She did not happen to be in. but Robertson Insisted she was. He then said he would shoot himself unless his wife came to the door. Mrs. Robertson, who was at a friend house, was telephoned and told of th threats of her husband. She went, imme diately to the hotel, but would not go out- siae ana talk to her husband, evidently believing that he might do her some In jury. Robertson refused to leave for sev eral hours, finally walking a few yards down the street to shoot himself. UNSIGHTLY FAIR APPROACHES Growth of Flimsy Stalls and Booths Spoils Street. PORTLAND, April 14.-(To the Editor.) On every page of your valued paper we see some article on cleaning, beautifvlng and improving our city for this Summer. Of course, there are some Ill-kept cor ners, billboards, etc., but we are certalnlv ruining the appearance of Portland in some localities, especially In the vicinity of the Fair grounds, the most important part, the part where all visitors will be sure to go. For blocks and blocks west and south of the Fair entrance you are greeted witn unsightly and temporary cigar and fruit stands. It seems that every home or residence has a stand constructed In Its front yard, either by the removal of the steps, or in some cases by the removal of two or three front rooms. These stands are built of old pieces of wood, in any old way, and you can buy everything from a gumdrop to a beaded purse. The place looks like some little mining town away up in Alaska, Instead of a city. "Money is the root of all evil." and the people who live out there seem to be after it, with no pride for their city. Why can't we have one or two nice Ice cream gardens? They can be built very cheaply, representing some garden or Summer farm, instead of a corner like that one on Thurman st. as you come out of the Fair. If one should go down Upshur street from the Fair entrance, both sides of the street are a disgrace to the city. Signs of all kinds, crooked and otherwise, and every front yard taken up either with a store or a sign, "Space to Lease." How much better It would look if these yards were all nicely kept with green plots In front of their houses. I do not object to people making money, but let us not ruin the most Important nart of the cltv. There are some nice buildings out there to rent, and there let us have our stands. Is it too late? What will our Eastern people think of the West? Everybody after the money. From Twenty-fourth and Thurman to the Fair entrance, and the same with Upshur, thore is-not one single presentable thing to look at. I hope that whoever reads this will take a walk out that way soon, and I am sure they will agree with me. AN INTERESTED NATIVE. First Aid to the Injured. Harper's Weekly.

Corfan Doyle might suspects that he must run out of plots. Not so. "The Mystery of the Golden Pince-nez," to be published tomorrow, is new and start ling equal to the very best of his first work. The story is complete in itself. - that the mutuaiization or tne company under the plan adopted by the directors will do injustice to the poucynoiaers. xne court was asked to Issue an order re straining State Superintendent of Insur ance Hendricks from taking runner pro ceedings toward the mutuaiization of the society. The action was taken by A. h.. wood ruff, of this city. In behall or rieroert G. Tull of Philadelphia, and other policy holders. Mr. Woodruff said the suit is to determine whether or not the policy holders have any right to the society s surplus and to determine tne market value of the stock. In the complaint Mr. Woodruff said that "a mutuaiization plan means insurance at cost, and that, after deducting the-ex penses of conducting the business,, an tne profits and assets of tne company Deiong to the Insured, rne principle ot mutual Insurance, upon which tne derenaant company has been represented to be con ducted, required tnat pollcy-noiaers nave return of their overpayments in the surplus of the company at such short In tervals as will incur rorreiture or conns cation to the least number. The society has failed to carry out the principles upon which it was organized, and the plain tiffs are of the opinion that the proposed amended charter will do an Injustice to the hollcy-holders. It Is also alleged In the complaint that. by reason of the society's failure to carry out the provisions ot us cnarier in re spect to the distribution of its surplus, a very large surplus has been accumulated, it avers that because of the ability of the officers to manipulate and use the same for their own personal Interest an Idea arose In the minds of some or tne stock holders that they had sbme right or own ership In the surplus, which was without foundation. "By reason of this unfound ed Idea," the complaint says, "the com pany has permitted Its surplus to be diverted from Us true Intent and purpow, and has permitted It to be used by some of Its officers or by others in a way en tirely foreign to Its proper use." Mr. Woodruff said that the policy-hoio ers had endeavored to obtain a hearing of their side of the case from the State Superintendent of Insurance, but that he had refused to grant their request Justice Blanchard. being a policy-holder in the Equitable Society, declined to en-' tertaln the application of Mr. Woodruff and referred the matter to Justice Scott, who Issued an order to Superintendent Hendricks to show cause on April IS why he should not be enjoined from aid ing In the mutuaiization of the Equitable Society.

TEXAS SENATORS NOT THERE Did Not Welcome President Because They Dislike Him. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 14. It does not appear In the accounts of the reception of the Pres ident in Texas that the United States Sen&tors were there to assist in the recep tion. The reason can be easily under stood. The Texas Senators do not like the President. They are bitter against him for many reasons. His policies have never been such as to meet with their ap proval. Both of them wero mtteriy op posed to the reciprocity treaty with Cuba, which reduced the duty on sugar and.to- bacco and other Cuban products coming into this country. Both of them were extremely bitter axal&str him on the Fan ama Canal question, and Culberson, the senior Senator, took occasion to make that- a feature of his campaign against Roosevelt last year. Bailey, the Junior Senator, does not like Roosevelt, and has spoken of him in a very contemptuous manner. But it is not because of his public poli cies that the Southern Democratic leaders arc opposing Roosevelt. Boiled down to the essence of fact, the greatest opposi tion to Roosevelt and the dislike which these people feel towards him is all on account of his having sat down at table with Booker T. Washington, a colored man. They claim that the President raised the question of social equality and has caused everlasting trouble in the Southern States where the negroes are so numerous. Talk with any Southern statesman or politician, and one will And that it Is the Booker Washington Incident that meet3 with the greatest disfavor. There is a possibility that the reason the politicians are so sore at Roosevelt on this question Is that he may have made a move which would leave them without an Isbuc Tom Watson, one of the ablest men the South has produced, and for many years a resident of Geor gia, has declared time after time that there was no sense In the race Issue: that it was raised simply by the Southern Democratic politicians for the purpose of keeping themselves In power; that It aroused a certain feeling among the poor er class of whites In the South, and that It was, the only thing that held the South em Democrarcy together. Watson ought to know, for he came very near disrupting me .Democratic party In the South In his days of greatest power. Many people may think It would have been courteous for the Texas Senators to waive their personal feelings and appear In their state and give welcome to the President, but that Is not their style. Both of them are able and strong men, men with intense prejudices, and they would not sacrifice their personal dignity to perform a courteous public duty. They are the kind of men what would consider an act of the kind hypocritical, and, what ever you may say about Culberson and Bailey, they are not to be placed In that category. They are too Intense In their feelings, and they have a public and per sonal resentment against President Roosevelt which would prevent them from performing a courtesy they did not feel. That Is" why their names did not figure among those who received the President when ho Wa3 In Texas. President's Train on Time. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. April 15.
