BINGHAM MAKES ADDRESS Railroads of Western Oregon, He Says, Have Not Been Fair to the Manufacturers or Encour aged Enterprises. INDEPENDENCE, Or., June 13. (Special.) The biggest Jam ever ex perienced at the Independence Opera House was at the meeting of the Wil lamette Valley Development League last night. At the clambake and barbecue, held In the grove before the meeting, over 3200 people ivere fed. There were 1500 pounds of clams used, contributed by B. F. Jones and the people of Lincoln County for the ocaslon. At 10 o'clock at night, "when the pro gramme was almost completed. Homer Davenport arrived and was given an ovation. He delivered a talk of reas onable length, but the people -would not be satisfied until he had talked till after 11. The meeting today was of unusual interest. The locks at Oregon City, owned by a private corporation, were discussed with a earnestness that pro sages further action. "The people should not stop agitation until those locks are made free," said ex-Goyernor Gecr. L. H. Stlnsdn, of Salem, reported that he and Representative Graham had as certained that the law required the corporation operating the locks to pay 10 per cent of the receipts" over to the state; that the 10 per cent has not been collected; that the matter had been b3' them referred to the Attorney-General, and that officer had given it as his opinion that it could be collected, and stated he would proceed to do it Jf re quested by a state officer; that they ap pealed to the Governor, and that of ficial had made the request. Walter Toore, L. M. Gilbert and I. H. Bingham made talks along the same line. Mrs. Edith Tozier WJtherred talked bn the needs of Oregon and W. H. Hollls1, of Forest Grove, on public own ership. Supplemental to the railroad com mittee report adopted and a feature of today's procedings, was the address of I H- Bingham, a member of V the last Legislature, on transportation. The ex-Representative spoke with much earnestness, and his remarks were re ceived with hearty applause. He said In part as follows: Manufacturing- In the Willamette Valley in In ltft infancy, and that the possibilities are treat no one will deny. Countless tbou tand of horse-power, now running to waste, invite the energy and capital of the manu facturing world to put Into operation the very enterprises upon which the dcntlny of thin country depend. As an Illustration. I mention the Santlam, with 170,000 honpower, the MeKenrle with 225,000 horsepower, besides the Umpqua, Rogue, the mighty "Willamette and many others. It 1 a contention of the manufacturer that W per cent of the cost of manufacturing the lumber product will be required to pay for the cost Of labor which amount to the enor rnoun sum of $720,000,000, and If 25 per cent of the lumber manufactured . should And -a market in the Eattorn and Middle States, and Jt will, the railroads, would receive more than $300,000,000. enough te construct several transcontinental lines across the continent. Another of our principal products is the wool. That product is coming fart to the foreground and wo have 'available the great wool-producing cinplrr. nantern Oregon-a country that In rapidly coming to the fere, bv reason of the push and energy of the sturdy class of settlers, who are now bring ing forth its splendid resource., although the transportation facilities of this country are extremely limited. That the railroads of Western Oregon have not been fair with our manufactories up tt the present time Is a matter of record. The Southern Pacific has put forth some efforts to induce immigration. bat U there any In stance where they have offered inducements to capital to invest in manufacturing in the auctions tributary to Its lines, by guarantee ing a fair and equitable freight rate? And If you will show me- the lnstanee, will you how me where this great company has kept its word? Take for instance the- Juggling of its freight rates in Under Markliam'f administration of the Southern racifle affair, a freight ra(e jvas established which was kept intaet for more than five years. Net even the most skeptical believed that after fostering a great lumber Industry by making a rate that caused thou sands of dollar to be invested In the lum bering businese., that a railroad corporation would so far forget It duty to the state and Xeopl as to annul that rate and fix one which the officials, themselves oven admitted was prohibitory. When our people we Just beginning to enjoy prosperity from their in- fitment this great corporation, aftor con siderable haggling, took the bit In their mow th and raWd the rate ?2 per 1000 te Bay point. This meant the closing oowp of many mills, the throwing out of labor and the .crippitag ot a great lndu&trv. After a great cry had been ralfd the people heard of a readjustment, but it proved only to Ik- a KoW brick, namely, a $3. 10 rate. Xalth ranst be kept by the rail roads an well as by the people. The State of Oregon is not lehWen to any corporation or raHroad. Thoy are bofeoMea to the state and to its people. But If merged Interest court the good offices of the peo ple they should not Attempt t usurp the power which by Conntituttenal authority is vested In the reoole. Following the addross of Mr. Bing ham, a motion was carried, without dis sent, authorizing the president of the league to appoint a committee to draft an initiative transportation bill, to bo r-resonted to the loague at its next meeting. Eugene was selcted as the next moet lng place, where a convention wjll be held about September 1. GO TO CHARITIES CONTENTION Prominent Citizens of Oregon Ap pointed by the Governor.

EUGENE. Or.. June lX.-(Stoclal.)-Wlth the approach of the June term of court, which convenes next Monday, much Interest la apparent In tho case of John W. Richards, who wHl be on trial for the murder of San ford Skinner and his wife on the Mohawk two weeks ago. There are many of the neighbors who know of the condition of affairs previous to the tragedy, who strongly sympathize With Richards, and who hope to see him escape the gallows by life imprisonement. It Is alleged by some that Richards was driven to desperation by the repeated act? of his victims, and that while the killing cannot be saW to have been Justified, yet there are many mitigating circumstances, which, when laid before the court and the Jury, may be the means of securing for the man- a second-degree verdict. . The mother of Richards and the mur dered woman has retained counsel for his defense and the attorneys at least hone to make uch a defense as to secure a second-degree verdict for their client. At first It was the general impression that .the crime had been committed with slight provocation, and that Richards was naturally of a vicious disposition and bard to get along with. It is said that Mrs. Washburne. the prisoner's mother, will give much evi dence that will tend to show that the prisoner was driven to desperation and that the crime was not as cold-blooded as it would seem at first.

INVESTIGATION IS .BEGUN Xo Report Has Been Made for Years of Traffic Through Oregon City Locks or Sums Spent for Maintenance. SALEM. Or., June 13. CSpeolaU Gov ernor Chamberlain believes that the Port- Innrt 1r?ral Tvleetri? Caimunv la in debted to the State of Oregon In a con- j sWerable sum on account ot the profit of ; Its canal around the Falls of Oregon City. ; and be has started an investigation with j a. view to collecting the money. He sub- j mltted the matter to Attorney-General , Crawford today with the request that It It be found that any money Is due to the state Immediate steps be taken to enforce payment. He promU-ed the Attorney-General whatever aid he may be able to give In the work. The state's claim. If It has any. Is based upon an act of the Legislature of 1578, authorizing the Issuance of 3200,07) bonds for the aid of the Willamette Falls Canal &. Locks Company, which built the canal at Oregon City. That act ex pressly provides that one condition of the Issuance of the bonds is that the com pany and its assignees shall pay to the State of Oregon 10 per cent of Its net profits. So far as the Governor is aware, there has been no other act that releases the company from its liability, and unless the Attorney-General finds that the debt has been cancelled, the Governor will Insist that the present owner of the canal and locks pay up Its dellquency. The act appropriating the money by means of bonds also provides that the stale may at any time take the canal and locks at the actual valuation, such valuation to be ascertained In. such man ner as the Legislature may' determine. It Is believed that under that provision the state can yet take over the tltlo to the canal and locks and. if such arrange ment can be made with the Government, transfer the canal to the United States as a part of the Improvement of the Wil lamette River. The act requires the owner ot the canal and locks to keep an account of traffic through the locks and also of the ex penditures for the maintenance of the same, and to file an itemized statement of the expenditures, so that the net profits may be ascertained. It has been many years, however, since any such account has been filed and there is nothing In the records here to snow whether the canal and locks arc operated at a profit or otherwise. There would seem to be two alternatives In any event, for it the canal is operated without profit the state should be able to take the property at low valuation, while If the business yields a profit. the state should be getting 10 per cent thereof. That section ot the act. under which the state's claim Is based, roads as fol lows: The faith of the Bute f Orvgvn 1 hereby Sie4sed to administer sal fimfl a ta ma&e them available at the earliest prto4 for the payment of Mid baaa by thta act MtlMrisd ta be ismed, upn the exsrero condition that raid corpe-ratlen sha.ll cent tract eaM canal aa4 lock la the manner before srovMed ta this act. and tvt charge a greater rate ot falls than Is herein it forth. And K Is further provided that the Ucuaaec asd 9 jib eat f said beads h&)l be made upon the exprats eenditlen that Mid eerperxUon Khali par to the State of Oregon 10 per ceMttm of the net preats aristae from the totU coiletcd for pMc4ng freight and paseisr thrMgh said canal and leeks, "which iwm cf 19 per ecntam ot net profit j&alt be paM tat the common cb( fund ot this state. Attorn ey-Gonoral Crawford is examin ing the records to ascertain the status of the whole transaction between the state and the owners of the canal. PATRICIDE WOULD BE FREE HABEAS CORPUS WRIT ASKED FOR THOMAS BROW.V. Judge Rice Sent Youth Found to Be Insane to Jail Under J,uw Seldom Invoked. OLYMPIA. Wash.. June U. (Special.) Application was made to the Supreme Court today for a writ of habeas corpus, to secure the liberty of Thomas. Brown, the youthful patricide of Lewis County. Brown's trial in April for the shooting of his father the preceding December was widely published. Mental derangement was one of his defenses and the jury In its verdict found the boy "not guilty by reason of insanity." The verdict was rendered May 1. but Brown was detained In Jail and May S he was brought Into court and ordered recommitted to Jail by Judge A. E. Rice. In view of the verdict and on Ote ground that his liberation would be dangerous to the peace and safety of the community. This commitment Is under the provisions of a law seldom, if ever before. Invoked. Section 6S.535.W2 Balllnger Code provides: "When a person Informed against for an offense shall, on trial, be acquitted by reason of Insanity, the Jury In giving their verdict of not guilty shall state that it was given for such cause, and there upon. If the discharge or going at large of such Insane person shall be consid ered by the court manifestly dangerous to the peace and safety of the community, the court may order him to be committed to prison, or may give blm into the car of his friends. It they shall give bonds with surety to the satisfaction ot tho court, conditioned that he. shall be well and securely kept, otherwise he shall be discharged." The application for tho writ of habeas corpus calls Into question the constitu tionality of the above section, -alleging that it is in contravention of sections 2. It.
