20 THE HORNING OHEGOXIAX, PRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1905. GINKS TRY TO SEE FIB S August Ziegenfuss ami John Connell Succeed fn Being Locked Up. . EACH HAS HIS OWN NOTION Connell Wants-the Vice-President to Take the- Transportation Lines and the Other "Wants Ari zona Judge Removed. Seeking to gain an audience with Vice President Fairbanks, John Connell and August. Ziegenfuss pressed forward too eagerly as the distinguished official, ac companied hy President Goode and the Congressional delegation, was entering the New York building to partake of luncheon at 2 o'clock yesterday. Both men were arrested by secret serVlce agents aa "cranks." They were not re garded as of the dangerous type, but their persistence led the detecth'es to take them Into custody. Connell wanted to deliver to Vice Presi dent Fairbanks a letter, demanding that the United States Government take im mediate control of the railroads and fur nish transportation "to hobos and oth ers." Ziegenfuss wished to secure the removal of the Judge of the Fourth Ju dicial district of Arizona for denying him "the rights of a citizen, and refusing to grant him protection for his property." Locked up lu Exposition Jail. Connell and Ziegenfuss were locked up In the jail at Exposition police head quarters by order of Chief of Detectives Donahae. Ziegenfuss was soon ejected from the grounds, but Connell was held. It Is thought ho will be released also. Connell is an Australian, who appears to be radical in his views as to Govern ment ownership of transporation lines. Of late he ".has been employed In the grading camp on the Fair grounds. When arrested he was much inclined to make trouble unless allowed to deliver the let ter to Vice-President Fairbanks, but when Chief Donahae agreed to hand the document to the official, Connell was sat isfied. "I have accomplished the object of my efforts," said Connell when seen in his cell last night. "My mission was per formed, and I feel at case. I think when my letter Is read by the Vice-President, he will take up the matter right away. I do not murmur at being thrown Into Jail; I would gladly remain here the rest of my life, if my efforts shall bring forth the desired result." Connell carried his letter in an unad dressed blue envelope in his hand, and it was plainly visible. As he pressed closer and closer to Vice-President Fairbanks, the secret service detective from the Na tional Bureau of Identification at Wash ington, D. C. saw him. Having had years of experience, and having arrested many "cranks" In his time, the detective took charge of Connell. as he believed him to be on some such a mission as he afterwards admitted. Letter of Connell. The letter Connell wished to deliver to Vice-President Fairbanks covered seven sheets of writing paper, finely written. It was of a very rabid nature and hard to read, giving the impression that the writer was mentally unbalanced. Chief Donahae jdoes not consider him a dan gerous crank, but of the kind who must be suppressed. Ziegenfuss was arrested shortly after Connell was taken Into custody. He was seen by Proprietor Warrcnt of the Cen tral Stables, who furnished carriages for the Vice-President and Congressional delegation. He was making inquiry as to how to get to sec the Vice-President, and was pointed out to Exposition guards who arrested him. He was very angry, and threatened to make trouble for Chief Donahae, when locked up. He was very roughly attired, slovenly in appearance and so filthy that he had to be turned loose Immediately. He was ejected from the grounds, and vowed vengeance on the police. Ziegenfuss Is en route from Arizona to Frazer River. B. C. With his 14-year-old son. ho is traveling In a "prairie schooner," now camped at Woodlawn. He claimed ho owned mining property In Arjzona, which some persons had been attempting to wrest from him. Ho de clared that the Judge of the Fourth Ju dicial District of Arizona refused him redress and he wanted to demand the removal of the official at the hands of Vice-President Fairbanks.

GROWERS TO POOL HOPS Representatives oC .26,000. Bales Ap prove Proposed Plan. SALEM, Or., June L (Special.) "Grow- -ers who represent 26,000 bales of the Ore gon hop crop of i903 have expressed their approval of'tbe plan of forming a cor poration of growers, and have signified their desire to place their bops In the poeL" This Is the statement made to night by Conrad Krebs, who sent out a circular letter to growers last Saturday suggesting that & corporation he formed for The purpose of marketing the hop crop of 1903. Replies from a large number of. growers have not yet been received. Mr. Krebs says that those who have thus given the pooling plan their approval arc among the most prominent growers of their several communities, and that, unless something now unforeseen happens, the pool will be successfully formed. The practical pledg ing of 26,000 bales at the Kart makes It almost certain that the greater part of the Oregon crop will be pooled, and h has no doubt that Washington and Cali fornia growers will form pools also and join in controlling the market In 1935-6. A meeting of growers will be called for the latter part of June, when the cor poration will be formally organized. Victim of Pickpockets. Royal Miller, a resident of Point City. Eastern Oregon, met three men in front of the Hotel Portland last evening.

Slanderous and False Circular to In jure Mayor Williams' Candidacy Is Exposed by Citing the Facts In the Case. On Wednesday afternoon Information reached Mayor Williams to the effect that the city would be flooded on the eve of election with a lot of lying and slander ous circulars, supposed to have emanated from a so-called "Citizens' Committee." The specimen copies of these circulars that have fallen Into the hands- of the Mayor bear the signatures of C W. Not tingham, chairman; George H. Howell, secretary; J. A. Martin, S. J. Barber, N. H. Bird. M. E. Thompson. J. E. Martin, J. T. Wilson and D. D. Warner The Mayor was especially Indignant that Howell's name should appear upon these circulars, claiming that such action savored strongly of base Ingratitude, as he had appointed Howell a member of the Executive Board and otherwise assisted him into prominence, only to be rewarded by a stab In the back. The circulars make particular -reference to the alleged Tanner Creek sewer, Mor rison street and Front street bridge scan dals, laying stress upon the Idea that graft was practiced when the awards were made under this construction work by the city. Unless Howell's signature was forged to the circular denouncing the Mayor in connection with the Front street bridge matter, he Is placed In an unenviable light, as the records show that while a member of the Executive Board he was present when the award mi ttia(v and. In fact made the motion awarding the contract to the Pacific Con struction Company, of which F. M. But ler was secretary. This was the concern that constructed the Front street bridge. Transcript Is Given. A transcript from the official minutes of the proceedings of the Executive Board at the time reads as follows: "A special meeting of the Executive Board of the city of Portland. Oregon, called In the manner provided by Section 161. of the charter of the city of Port land, was held this 10th day of August, 1301. at 4 o'clock P. M. "Those present were: His Honor, May or Williams, presiding, and Messrs. Beebe. Boise, Gllsan. Goddard, Howell and Weber 7. "On motion of Mr. Goddard, duly sec onded and carried unanimously. It was ordered that the bid of the Pacific Con struction Company, by J. J. Maney. man ager, of Everett. Washington, for the con struction of the bridge over Marquam Gulch, on Front street, be rejected, and that the certified check submitted with said bid be returned. The City Attorney being present, reported verbally that he had examined the proceedings for the con struction of the bridge on Front street over Marquam Gulch, as provided by Or dinance No. 13S36. and that he could find no legal objection to awarding the con tract for the construction of said bridge to the Pacific Construction Company, F. M. Butler secretary. In pursuance of the i action of the Executive Board at its reg ular meeting August 5, 1S04. "Mr." Howell then moved that In pursu ance of the report of the City Attorney, the contract for the construction of the bridge on Front street over Marquam Gulch, as provided by Ordinance No. 12336, be awarded to the Pacific Construc tion Company, F. M. Butler, secretary. In accordance with the terms of their bid therefor, for the sum of $55,315, which motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously, the City Attorney being re quested to prepare the necessary form of contract and bond therefor." Minutes of Proceedings. The minutes of the proceedings of the Executive Board on.-August 5 show also that Howell was present upon that occa sion, and voted with the other members to rescind the contract that had formerly been awarded to the Everett company, and accepting the bid of the other concern. Mayor Williams says, and this state ment is borne out by the records on file in the office of the City Auditor, that all the proceedings incident to the matters connected with the Tanner -Creek sewer. Morrison street and Front street bridges. and in fact everything where alleged scandals have In any way figured, were discussed' openly and -above board; that reporters for all the local newspapers were present at each meeting of the Ex ecutive Board, and printed all the de tails connected therewith. He says also that the circulars' referred to, which it Is proposed shall be scattered broadcast throughout the city at a time when It will be considered too late to make any reply, are a fair sample of the mendacity of the attacks That are being made upon him as a last desperate resort of his beaten political enemies. i m fZ TTF1 OTHvniriL- rlav ! .Tim p.

E LMD THAN WATE "WASHEVGTOX IS FAST RECLAIMING "WASTE TEIUUTCItY. Over Acre In .'the? State Are Xctv Uader Irrlgfatlea Ditches. OLYMPIA. Wash., June L (Special.) That there are now "330.000 acres of land In this state under Irrigating ditches Is one of the leading statements in an article furnished the statistical department of the Secretary of State's office by Profes sor O. L. Waller, of the Washington IState College, who Is also employed by the Gov ernment as an Irrigation- expert. These figures show .that the acreage has far more than doubled In the last five years. The last "United States census re port, issued In 1900, gives the acreage Irri gated In "Washington at 133,470 acres. The estimates made by Professor Waller do not include extensions and high-line ditches in the Yakima Valley already sur veyed, the estimated acreage of which Is about 400.000. nor does It include about 1.340,000 acres now under Investigation out side of the Taklroa Valley by" the United States Reclamation Service. "There are far more lands In this state the elevation 6f which makes them, pos dble to Irrigate," says Professor "Waller, "than there is water- to Irrigate, them. So It Is safe to say that In a few years every available source of water supply will be In use. The average yields of Irrigated lands are given In tons per -acre as follows: Al falfa. 8; timothy and clover, 4; orchard products. 8; potatoes, 10; corn, 1.5; hops. 1.25; miscellaneous, o. Average net re turns are given at 330 per acre upon hay land and from 3100 to 5300 per acre upon hops and fruits. Break from the Teton Jail. -HEIiENA, Mont.
