WANTS FULD EXAMINATION.
Governor Mead Would Probe Peni
tentiary Election Frauds.
OLYMPIA. "Wash.. July 7. (Special.)
Governor Mead will Investigate the
charges that certain employes of the
state penitentiary near Walla Walla
fraudulently registered for tho city elec
tion and that on preliminary examina
tion before magistrate were discharged
because of the fact that the registration
oath they had taken had been improperly
administered. The Governor today issued
the following statement:
"I regret that there was not a full
and complete hearing on the capes-. In
asmuch as these state employes were
charged with violating the state laws, I
think they phould have waived all techni
calities and insisted on a full and com
plete Investigation and trial. They havo
not done so, and consequently I have
called upon the County Attorney of Walla
Walla county and the superintendent of
the penitentiary for a full report of all
the facts and circumstances. I consider
that the people of the state are entitled
to complete knowledge of the whole mat-
"Employes at a state insrtituflon have a
right to continue their resldonco at their
former place of abode or to change their
legal residence to the place where they
are employed. That Is a matter to be
settled by their own sense of right. The
state, however, cannot tolerate any at
tempt by Its employes to violate the elec
tion laws. If Investigation shows that
any such attempt has been made by any
employe of the penitentiary he certainly
will be relieved from service.
Mr. A. F. Kecs has been making an ex
emplary record as Superintendent of tho
Penitentiary and has surrounded himself
with men who are proving their com
petency. His success at the head of the
institution is apparent to all who are
familiar with it. I cannot but feel there
fore that when the facts- are presented
they will not reflect on him or his ad
ministration." H. C. BOYD KILLS HIMSELF

cials of Which Are Arrested.
SPOKANE. July 7. H. C. Boyd, aged 35.

JUGGLE WITH ASSESSMENTS
County Assessors in Washington to
Disregard State Commissioners.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. July 7. (Special.)
An opinion filed by the State Board of
Tax Commissioners today, advises County
Assessors to make their assessments at
a uniform rate upon all classes of prop
erty, regardless of any classification by
the State Board of Equalization. The
commission says:
"It is not generally understood by the
taxpayer at large that the equal lzatioc.
made by the State Board, or In other
words, the values placed upon all classes
of property by tho State Board, are not
the values upon which the rates of taxa
tion are computed. Such values are fixed
by the. State Board solely for the pur.
pose of determining what sums of money
shall be paid by each county Into the
several state funds. Such sums being
ascertained, the rate necessary to raise
them is computed and extended by tho
several County Auditors upon the values
fixed by the County Boards. The rais
ing or lowering of the value of any class
of property by the State Board does not
in any way affect the amount of taxes
that such property Is required to pay."

GOVERNORS AT ODDS
Washington and Minnesota
Differ Over Extradition;
IDA JOHNSON IN QUESTION
Mead Incensed at Action of Johnson
In. Refusing Extradition on J.
31. Allen, but Not Now In
clined to Retaliate.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. July 7. (Special.)
Dispatches sent out from St. Paul "yes
terday, to the effect that Governor Mead
had turned down tho requisition of Gov
ernor Johnson, of Minnesota, for Mrs.
Ida Johnson, In retaliation for the re
fusal of Governor Johnson to honor Gov
ernor Mead's requisition for Jessie M.
Allen, last April, are denied by tho exec
utive department. Governor Mead wired
Governor Johnson this morning that ho
had taken no action.
Deputy Sheriff George Loth, of St.
Paul, presented the Minnesota requisi
tion to Governor Mead at his home Just
before the Governor took the train for
Prosser last Monday. Loth was Informed
that he would have to wait until Gov
ernor Mead returned. The papers wero
not filed until today, and a formal hear
ing will be held tomorrow, when a Seat
tle attorney will appear- In behalf of
Mrs. Johnson, to resist extradition. Mrs.
Johnson Is wanted on a charge of baby
farming.
It Is undoubtedly true that there is
hard feeling toward Governor Johnson
of Minnesota because, of the Allen requi
sition Incident, and, although Governor
.Mead Is said to have expressed surprise
at Governor Johnson In expecting cour
tesies from the Governor of this state.
It Is asserted that Minnesota requisitions
will be honored in proper form.
Miss Allen was accused of killing her
Infant child In Douglas County. She was
located In Minnesota, and A. A. Lvttle
was sent after her with requisition pa-
pors. The requisition was denied, accord
ing to the official return, because .of de
fects in the papers. Governor Johnson
did not reply to a telegraphic inquiry
from Go-ernor Mead, asking whether
Miss Allen would be held until the de
fects could be rectified, nor did he deign
xo repiy to a telegram from the Attornev-
General of this state, citing decisions or
the Minnesota courts, which squarely
hold his objections to be groundless.
vv nat particularly Incensed Governor
Mead was the fact that Governor John-
son afterwards gave an Interview to St.
"aul papers. In which he said he had
turned down the case because, upon In
vestigation, he found the charge was duo
10 a lamuy rcud. The requisition Issued
by Governor Johnson, now under mn:M.
eratlon. contains the same alleged de
tect that was given as the official reason
for denying the Allen extradition vis..
absence of an affidavit showing the per
petration of the crime charged. "

FEDERAL COMPANY ACCUSED
OF BAD FAITH.
President of Bunker Hill Company
Claims It Is Trying to
Force Sale.
BOISE. Idaho. July 7. (Special.) In tho
United States Court today Judge Beatty
heard the application for an order of sur
vey made by the Federal Mining & Smelt
ing Company in its suit against the Bun
ker Hill Company to quiet title to tho
Republican mining claim at Wardner. Tho
order was denied by the court.
A feature of the proceedings was the in
troduction of an affidavit hy F. W. Brad
ley, president of the Bunker Hill Com
pany. In which ho alleged his belief that
the Federal Company was paying divi
dends In excess of its earnings, and that
the suit had been brought to force tho
Bunker Hill to sell out the mines at a
low price, the Inference being that tho
property would be secured for the Federal
Company and enable It to earn dividends.
Mr. Bradley was recently reported to have
been appointed manager of tho Federal
Company, and his declination of the posi
tion has aroused wide comment In tho
mining world.
In the affidavit Mr. Bradley set forth
that the American Smelters Securities
Company owns a majority of the common
stock of the Federal Company, and there
by controls the management of the Fed
eral; that It owns all the stock of the
Tacoma Smelter Company, and tho Selby
Company; that since March 1 It has In
duced the Bunker Hill Company to enter
Into a contract to ship all Its ores for 23
years to the Tacoma smelter at an agreed
price, the contract requiring the Bunker
Hill Company to operate Its Dronertv ao-
itively, at all tlcacs. ad to jsiilp the
smelter as nearly as possible equal
amounts each month. Continuing, the af-
naavit says:
"That because of the fact that said
complainant and Its predecessors In Inter
est haye never heretofore asserted any
rignts to the ore bodies now and for a
long time In possession of this respondent
oy reason of any pretended claim of "the
Republican Fraction claim, affiant verllv
believes that this suit Is brought In bad
faith and for the purposes above set
lorth."
Judge Beatty held that the showing so
far made convinced him that the Federal
Company had a right to the great ore
bodies In question. He further held an
examination was not necessary at this
time, as the questions at Issue had been
litigated in his and other courts In other
cases, and that the testimony to be given
by other experts was not likely to change
results previously reached.

Declare.
OREGON CITr. Or.. Julv 7. fSnHai
Sheriff John R. Shaver and Constable H.
W. Trcmbath this evening visited every
saloon and cigar store In the city and
closed every gambling game tight. No
arrests were made, but the proprietors of
tho places visited and the men who have
been conducting the gambling games were
notineu tnat gambling of all kinds must
cease Immediately. It Is tho purpose of
Deputy District Attorney Schuebcl, as
sisted by Sheriff Shaver and Constable
Trcmbath. strictly to enforce the laws
with respect to gambling, and persons vio
lating the laws will be promptly arrested
and fined. Before D o'clock tonight every
gambling resort In the city had been de
serted. Now that the county authorities hnv
taken charge of the situation, the next
oojecuve point win be the MHwaukle pool
room, which it Is known will be visited
and closed down Just as soon as the nu-
tnontlcs are In possession of the desired
evidence to Justify their action. It was
decided by the officers In mnklntr to
night's raid that no arrests should be
made, for the reason that the games were
running by permission of the city author
ities, but the first violation will result
in the arrest of all participants.
The situation In Oregon City on the
gambling issue Is unusual. In tho annual
munlicpal election last December J. U.
Campbell, the Republican nominee, ooenlv
declared that In event of his election gam
Dung wouia oe suppressed and the laws
relating to the saloons would be rigidly
enforced. In tho election ho was the low
man of three candidates, neither of the
other two candidates taking a stand on
the subject. The result of tho election
clearly indicated a desire for an open
town, but upon taking his seat Mayor
Sommcr declined to tolerate open gam
bling until a few days ago. when games
were resumed. There followed a contro
versy between the city and the county
officials as to whom was responsible for
tno resumption of open gambling In th3
city. The municipal authorities persisted
In shouldering the responsibility on the
county officials, and the latter have acted
And. what Is more. It is proposed that Ore
gon city shall remain in the strictest
sense a closed town. The moral wave
may yet Include nickel-ln-the-slot cigar
machines, which may be put out of busi
ness.
Not only will gambling be entirely sud
pressed, but the county officials propose
to maxe a clean Job. EL Matthias and
Henry Roos. two Oregon City saloon deal
ers, have been charged with selling
liquor to minors, and will be arraigned In
tho Justice Court tomorrow. Denutv Dis
trict Attorney Svhuebel stated tonight that
violations of the law prohibiting the salo
of Intoxicants to minora will not only be
strictly enforced, but the loitering of mi
nors about those resorts will also be the
occasion for issuing warrants.

Prisoners Amused Becanse Friends
Become Enthusiastic Before They
Learn His Identity.
SALEM. Or.. July 7. (Special.) Prison
convicts employed at the rock crusher on
tne county road south, of Salem think they
have a huge Joke on prominent members
of the Quaker Church at Rosedale. At
any rate, an Incident that occurred a few
aays ago struck the "cons" as being ex
ceedingly -runny," and they have been
laughing over It ever since.
About 20 convicts are employed at the
rock crusher, and, in order to save time
In travel, they are kept at a farmhouse
near Rosedale Instead of being brought to
the prison every night. Rosedale Is tho
center of a Quaker settlement, and the
good people of that place took a personal
Interest In the welfare of the unfortunate
men In stripes. Fresh fruit and other
delicacies were sent to the camp for the
prisoners, ana two weeks ago permission
was secured to have the men attend
church services on Sunday. Tho meeting
was held in a grove. After the preacher
had closed a sermon particularly appro
priate to a congregation made up In part
oi convicted crlmlnnls. It was announced
that, in accordance with the custom of
tho church, opportunity would be given
for any to speak who felt so moved.
One of the first who accepted the invi
tation was a convict. He gave a- very
touching account of his own religious ex
perience, and then entered upon a discus
sion of theological subjects, quoting the
Bible freely and growing eloquent as ho
proceeded.
That the audience was deeply Impressed
by the man's remarks was apparent, and
when he sat down one of the most active
members of tho church followed with a
warm Indorsement of all that had been
said. The speaker declared that SO years
ago he had the same religious experience
as that described by the prisoner, and
tcit that the unfortunate man s salvation
was sure.
For several days the good people of
Rosedale talked among themselves of tho
brilliant, eloquent and deeply religious
man condemned to toll upon the rockplle
In prison stripes. It was believed that,
though the man might once have erred,
he had certainly repented and changed
to a sinless lifo.
Probably the good Impression the man's
fervent words had made would have led
to appeals for his liberation had not some
one Inquired his namo and learned that ho
Is none other than Joshua Creffleld. tho
Holy Roller leader, whose teachings sent
six Corvallls women to the Insane asylum
and whose practices led to his conviction
of the crime of adultery. The good
Friends of Rosedale have ceased to talk
of the eloquent nddress and the pathetic
portrayal of religious experience.

IN THE MUNICIPAL
COURT
Louis Schlesslnger. an alleged doctor.
arrested on charge of practicing- medi
cine without a license and assault and
battery. Is a much-abused person, ac
cording" to the statement of L. E.
Crouch, who appeared for the defend
ant when the case was called before
Judge Cameron yesterday. The case
was not ready for trial, and the ques
tion of ball was under discussion.
'I think the defendant will appear
for trial and that It would be perfectly
safe to let him go on his own recogn-
nlzance." said Attorney Crouch. "He
came here as soon as he read In The
Oregonlan that he was wanted. He is
a well known man: Judge Williams has
known him for 20 years. Schlesslnger
has no money, for ho gives all he earns
to help the poor."
"If ho Is so well known and so high
ly respected so philanthropic why Is
it some of those he has known for 20
years can't put up J50 ball for him?"
asked Deputy District Attorney Haney.
Judge Cameron decided that Schles
slnger would have to put up $50 ball
or go to Jail, and the bail was secured.
The case will be heard today.
L. W. Shulz went on a spree, was
robbed of $35. had two men arrested
for larceny, a jury of six acquitted the
defendants and the old man had to pay
$8.50 court costs. There Is a sore spot
In Shulz's heart, but the evidence was
so weak that after hearing It and de
liberating upon It for a long time a
verdict of not guilty was returned by
H. W. Goddard. J. C. Stuart. David S.
Stearns. Vic Phalon, G. R? Struble and
George Hartman.
Frank Hanshaw and L. C. Pontius
were accused of the robbery, and al
though there wa's .some evidence that
showed they might have taken tho
money. It was not very strong. The
worst evidence against them was given
by Daisy Mendenhall. who said that
Hanshaw told her Shultz had somo
money which he proposed to get. Sub
sequently tho defense Impeached the
woman's testimony.
A barber shop at 84 North Sixth
street is so notoriously bad that tho
proprietor of the Hood Hotel overhead
has posted signs warning his guests to
shun the establishment. This Is the
shop complained of Thursday by Al
bert Kratzke and J. Walz. as the re
sult of which Louis Schofleld, a barber,
was arrested. It was charged that the
complainants suffered extortion In tho
place.
Yesterday the complainants and the
defendant got together in court and

"Six months In tho County Jail." -was
the sentence uttered by Judge Cameron
yesterday after he heard the evidence In
the care against Kittle Gray, charged
with robbing Edmund Reeves, a logger.
of $25.
Attorney Alex Bernstein, for the de
fense, aroso and appealed the case.
Judge Cameron remarked at th
close of the case that aside from the
actual testimony of Reeves, which was
very convincing, the fact that the ac
cused woman was found immediately
arter tho robbery hiding under the
house showed her guilt.
Kittle Gray Is a colored woman of
the North End district, and has fre
quently been In court. Patrolman Rob
erts testified that when he went to
make the arrest of the woman he found
Jier hiding under the house. Two other
t
colored women were with her, both o
whom were fined $10 Thursday on
charges of vagrancy.
Fines aggregating $125 wero impos
ed on tho men arrested In a raid at
Chandler's saloon. Park and Flanders
ptreets, Thursday night by Policemen
Burko and Craddock. All were charged
with gambling. When the patrolmen,
swooped down upon the place a gamo
of craps was In progress.
Chandler was fined $25 and the oth
ers, all negroes, were fined $10 each.
All the fines were Immediately paid.
"I have agreed to this because I
think it the best way to handle the
cases." said Deputy City Attorney Fitz
gerald. "But It must be understood
that this game must close. It will not
be allowed to run and these defendants
must not understand that they are to
be permitted to run the game."
"We understand that we cannot run
now," said W. M. Davis, counsel for
tho defense. "At any rate we have just
been running a-little game for pas
time." Leo Gong was fined $100 by Judg
Cameron for conducting an opium den
at 147 Second street, in which seven
white men were found Thursday night,
when Sergeant of Police Hogeboom and
Patrolmen Galbralth and Daly made a
spectacular raid. Numerous excuses
were given by the white men for being"
found In the establishment, but all were
found guilty with one exception. He
was released and the other flvo wcra
sentenced to serve 10 days In jail.
Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald
stated to Judge Cameron that citizens
had called attention to the opium den,
paying they had seen men and women
entering there, and that once they saw;
two young girls go In.
"When Informed of this," said Mr.
Fitzgerald, "I went to the Captain ot
Police and gave him directions con
cerning it. I told him to have the place
watched by plain clothes officers and
to arrest every person found In there.
It was one of the most successful raids
ever made."
'
It cost I. Toll $10 to violate a polica
regulation concerning hotel runners at
the Union Depot. Judge Cameron found
the defendant guilty and fined him.
after which he cautioned him not to
come again Into court on a similar
charge.
Toll made the mistake of tackling;
Policeman Scallen, who was In charga
of two prisoners, escorting them to
headquarters. The officer was In plain
clothes and Toll did not know him. so
the "runner" left his position and fol
lowed the three men at least 25 feet
according to the evidence.
Policeman Scallen swore that he told
Toll to quit soliciting and to get back
into line, but Toll persisted and was
arrested.
Toll contended that be was not out
of line, and declured that he knew tha
policeman, but Judge Cameron re
marked that he thought It likely that
had Toll recognized Scallen he would
not have been quite so persistent. It
was Toll's second appearance on a
similar charge, but previously Judge
Hogue was on the bench and dis
charged him.
Whether or not Mary Jeffreys went
intd a certain drug store on North.
Sixth street to purchase a bar of soap
depends her liberty. She Is charged

The woman, who is a negress, claims
that the Turk is mistaken in the per
son, and declares she never saw him
until ho laid hold of her on the street
July 5 and called a policeman to arrtst
her.
A portion of tho case was heard yes

fense an opportunity to bring In a wit
ness to show that the woman was In
the drug store that night.

tor, was arrested upon complaint ot
Mrs. C A. Moore, in whoso employ he
was for somo time. She charged him
with larceny by bailee of $50, but he
wa3 discharged. Judge Cameron de
cided that as she advanced the money
to Bower, he agreeing to do some work
for her In the future. It was merely a
breach of faith. A civil action, tho
court said, would have to be filed If
the complainant wished to secure the
$50.
