EXPLAINS TIE LAW Consults A But does NOT m Physician Tell Him AIL Linn Republican Chairman Sends Circulars to Voters. 1 1 il 1 URGjES THEM TO REGISTER Pledge to Bo Offered Candidates at Primaries to Insure Harmony After the Nominations Arc Made by Popular Vote. -5 ALBANY, March 1. (Special.) There are many people who do not understand the direct primary nominations election law. Continued and persistent reports aro coming to J. S. Van Winkle, chairman of tho Linn County Republican Central Com mittee, that voters arc Insisting; that they v ill not Mate their politics, and that if this Is necessary to registration they will not register. Many seem to have the im pression that It they register as belonging: to any particular political party they will have to vote the ticket of that party straight, and cannot select the candidates thoy desire to support, regardless of poli tics, when the election comes. This Im pression seems to have arisen from the re quirement that cacli man vote for the .-hoke of candidates on the ticket of his party only at the primaries. As a result of the failure to understand tlM workings of tho direct primary law. registrations are coming In slowly, and there wlll'bo a small percentage of the voters of the county entitled to express their choice of candidates in the prima ries if registration docs not speed up soon. To remedy this condition, and if pos sible secure a full registration and nom ination of candidates that are really the pfoplr's choice. Chairman Van Winkle ha Issued a circular letter to Repub licans of Linn County, urging immediate registration. He urges that it is neces sary that Republicans register their party a 'Mint ions, as to register as an "Independent" will disfranchise a voter in the primaries. The letter is a strong one. and in addition to nonpartisan post ers urging immediate registration of vot ers. Is being sent to every precinct In the Another and perhaps much more Im-)ni-tant rt'-p. from a party viewpoint. Is a plan to have all candidates pledge tbenelvcs io support the successful men ftr the primaries. There seems to be a fMng that where there arc several can didate for the nomination for a particu lar office in the primaries, the contest hefor the primaries will engender oneMgli feeling to make rough sledding for the nominee when election time como. Attention has been called to the fart that Democrats in Lane and Marlon Counties, while following the letter of tbe direct primary law In the filing- of petitions, have arranged for holding so called mass meetings for selection of candidates and securing signatures, which is virtually an evasion of the law. as the mass meeting will take the place of a convention. By having but one candidate for each office in the primaries, there will be no contest in the Republican ranks for nom inations. While this method of nomi nating is not known to be contemplated Uy either party in Linn County, the feel ing that the man who secures a nomlna ti'Hi without contest in the primaries maimI a better show of success in the rlcikn than the one who has a sharp primary fight is generally expressed. It is to secure co-operation and support from defeated primary candidates and In sure harmony in the party between the lays of the primary and election that Mr. Van Winkle has prepared a pledge, which wilt he presented to every Republican ndidate before the primary election Is held, concluding as follows: I- . being a candidate for the nomination for the offlco of ja I.inn County, Oregon, at .the primary elec tion to bo held April 20. li0G, do hereby en case and pledge myself to support and use ever honorable means to secure the election n June 4. JIKHJ. of thow candidate who MtaJl secure the Republican nomination for the several oflleea in said county at ths primary toctton to be- held April '20. 1P0G, and espe cially the candidate receiving the nomination fr the office of will I 6upport ardently and actively. It Is argued that no good Republican will enter the primarj contest and then Knife the man who defeats him in his own arty. Nor will any man who expects to Mte the Republican ticket, whether he is defeated or is successful in the primaries, refuse to sign such a pledge. And, finally, the knowledge that defeated primary can didates arc nctivcly supporting- the candi dates of their party will tend to insure harmony In tho campaign and resultant success for the party in the election.

ORCHARD IS AGAIN IM ROOM lil, 19 (Continued From Flnt rase.) f . i outfide the door. The other witnesses scattered to get breakfast and were wait ing for the grand Jury to assemble. Promptly at 10 o'clock Foreman A. B. Moss announced the Jury was ready to begin hearing the evidence against Charles Moycr. William Haywood. George Pcttl bono and Vincent St, John. Andy Johnson was the first witness called. He was one of the first officers to take up work on the case, and it Is conjectured he told of the investigations he made regarding the assassination. Johnson picked up considerable evidence which bore out the fact that a bomb had been used to kill Steunenberg. Carries a Mysterious Handbag. Major McParland was next called. He did not remain before the grand Jurors very long, but was called later, nnd when he was called the second time he carried with him a mysterious-looking brown hand-satchel, which he never allowed to get out of his sight from the time he left Boise till he got into the grand-Jury room. It Is supposed that this satchel contained a copy of Orchard's confession and other evidence. This confession was left with tho foreman of the grand Jury. During the time between McParland's first and second appearance. Chemist Jones, who made the first analysis of the contents of powders and chemicals found among Orchard's effects and under his bed. was summoned. There were some IS tests made of this stuff, but what the analysis developed is not known. Orchard on the Stand. After the noon recess. Orchard was called before the grand Jury and he was closeted with them when time for ad journment came. That he is again telling of crimes he committed for the "Inner Circle" Is'posltlve. It took him five days In which to tell of all the depredations, and It Is believed that he will not be through with his story until noon tomor row. It ls evident that Orchard had not finished last night, for boforo train time tho officials appeared at the Saratoga Hotel and made arrangements for quar ters for him tonight. At first the man ager was not disposed to again have his hotel the headquarters for a confessed assassin, but he was talked out of his objection and assigned him to room 13. . Orchard made no objection to this. His supper was carried to the room for him, and he seemed anxious to once more get out of fight. One guard slept with Orchard and three are on guard out-slde.- Shows Effects or the Strain. While Orchard appeared to have passed through the trying ordeal today fairly well. It was noticeable tonight ihat he was even, moro Hi at case than when he was placed In the train this morning. The palor of bis face was more pro nounced, and he looked tired and Jaded. It Is stated that In all probability the cases now being Investigated will keep tbo grand Jury busy tomorrow and next day. It Is safe. It would-acem. to proph ecy that no Indictment In the cases will be returned to the court before next Mon day. SUIT OX HABEAS CORPUS Arguments Are Set for Hearing at Boise March 9. BOISE. Idaho.

Haywood and Robert Pcttlbone. charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg at Cald well on tho evening of December 30 last, setting forth In detail the grounds upon which he Is confining the prisoners at the penitentiary. The warden was represent ed In the proceeding by Attorney-General Guehn. County Attorney Van Duyn. James II. Hawley. senior counsel for the prosecution, and W. A. Stone, also re tained by the prosecution. Mr. Hawley was the only attorney In court on behalf of the stale, while At torneys Fred Miller and John F. Nugent appeared for the petitioners. The proceedings were the same on the three cases, the returns to the wrfts were made in open court ? the full bench being present, it was agreed by the at torneys that the answers to the returns should be filed not later than March S, and that the arguments In the Issues should be heard In the court on March 9. It Is expected that Attorney Richardson, of Denver, .senior attorney for the de fense, will be present at that time nnd present the principal argument on be half of the accused men. In his return Warden Whitney sets up that he is holding the prisoners for Sher iff Nichols, of Canyon County, an or der having been entered by the Probate Court In Canyon County that the jail of that county at Caldwell was an unfit place In which to hold them. Being with out proper accommodations, the holding of the men In the penitentiary Is also al leged to be with the assent of the ac cused men and their attorneys. BOMB XEARLY KILLED BRADLEY Superintendent of Bunker Hill MJnc Doomed by Inner Circle. SAN FRANCISCO. March L It devel oped here tonight that a San Francisco mystery of two years ago has been touched upon in the confession made by Harry Orchard, now in prison at Boise. Idaho, on the charge of having murdered Frank M. Steunenberg. According to Orchard's confession, as reported here, the "Inner Circle" of the Western Fed eration of Miners planned the assassina tion of every prominent man connected with the employers side In the famous Cocur d'Alcnc mining strike, and one of the attempts to commit murder took place in this city. November 17, 14, Frederick W. Bradley, superintendent of the Bunker Hill & Sul livan, mines, was living in this city In a fiat at DM Washington. -s.treu He had Just returned f rim -fle months trip of inspection, and ea the date named had beca heme only two days. On the menUng of the 17th. at 7:3 o'clock. Bradley opened his front door to go to the street. As he was opening the door lighted a match to light a cigar. Instantly, a terrific explosion followed. Bradley was hurled into the street, badly burned and bruised. He was so severely hurt that for a time it was feared ho would die. A gas jet bad been leaking in the flat, and the only plausible theory ad vanced at the time was that the explosion was due to the accumulation of gas. Orchard, however. In his confession, cays that Bradley was the victim of a bomb outrage- He declares that Bradley was. marked to die on account of the firm attitude he had maintained against the miners during the strike. He was closely watched and followed to this city. Tho members of the "Inner Circle" from a hiding place across the street from his home noted his movements. He saw when the maid opened the door to take in the morning paper, and observed that 7:43 o'clock sharply Bradley came out. On tbe morning In question; a short time after the maid appeared, one of the watches ran across the street and placed a bomb In the doorway, so arranged that when the door was opened the infernal machine would explode. The men thought Bradley was killed. Orchard says, and so reforted to headquarters. Bradley Is now in Nevada. His wife tonight admitted that she bad received a telegram statlag that Orchard had made tie ceafer4o& as outlined afeeve. Orchard Every woman dreads the ordeal of the physician's consulting room.

Detective Mc Parland emphatically denies the story re lated by Detective Swain that Orchard was or ever had been a member of any Masonic lodge in Detroit. Mich. "Orchard was at one time a Mason in good standing." said McParland. "but his membership In that order may not In any way be construed as a reflection upon the Masonic lodge. When Orchard joined the Masons he was in good standing as a citi xen. and I have the data to prove tho statement." ONLY WAY TO GET MONEY House Members Work for Omnibus Appropriations. OREGONIAN NBWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 1. Local legislation by means of Individual bills seems to be out of the question this session that Is to say. legislation that Involves appropria tions. The House leaders arc Insisting upon the most rigid economy and have al ready sidetracked countless bills for indi vidual public buildings, for river and har bor improvements, tlsh hatcheries, etc. To circumvent this opposition and get some sort of appropriations, members of the lower House are working steadily with a view to bringing- In one or more "omni bus" bills making appropriations for a great number of states and in this way compelling the leaders to surrender. This Is pure logrolling; It is legislation by might, and 1t may or may not succeed, according to tho number of men who tako an active Interest in the omnibus bills. If any omnibus bill goes through. It will probably be a public building bill, and even that, it is said, will have to be con fined to buildings heretofore authorized, where an Increase in cost is demanded, or where money is needed to erect buildings on sites heretofore purchased. It is doubt ful If any provision can be made for abso lutely new public buildings. However, members who are not interested In In creasing the cost of buildings heretofore authorized are insisting that they shall secure a share of the "pork" in the form of appropriations for new buildings, and It la quite possible that an omnibus public building bill may be drawn on such liberal lines that the leaders will have difficulty in defeating it. Before this question is finally decided, there will be a lively scrap In the House of Representatives. Both side are now preparing for the fray. Another omnibus bill that Is talked of a great deal Is the fish hatchery bill re cently reported by the House committee. For several sessions attempts have been made to pass a general bill establishing fish hatcheries In those states which have none,' or which have fewer than they believe they are entitled to. Some how this bill has always been sidetracked by the leaders, and there Is little reason to believe It can get through this session. Nevertheless. Its friends arc hopeful and have not given up the fight by any means. Early in the session there was talk of an "emergency" river and harbor bill to carry money for a few important projects which will sustain damage If they have to- wait until the regular river and harbor bill Is passed next "Winter. But It became apparent that any such bill would be loaded down with amendments until it became very nearly as large as a regular river and harbor bill. It Is absolutely out of the question to pass a general river and harbor bill this session and, rather than open up a contest , of this sort, it haa been decided to bring In no emer gency bill. This means that there will be no money for rivers and harbors -beyond what is carried In the sundry civil bill by authority of legislation of the last Con gress: that Is appropriations to pay for work now under contract. There are times when legislation by the omnibus method Is feasible, but the present eescloa offers llttla encourage Few women confide fully" In ? a physician. They simply will not tell him all. That's why many doctors fall to cure female diseases. Vegetable Compound Cures ment to advocates of this method, even though the expenditures proposed may be entirely meritorious. HORRORS OF FAMINE TOLD Men Gather "IVood in Snow, AVomen Freeze to Death. SEATTLE, March 1. The steamship Da kota brings advices from Nagasaki that the famine situation In the northern prov inces of Japan Is steadily growing graver. A second appeal has been issued by TV. E. Lampe, chairman of the foreign com mittee of relief, in which he says: "When we issued our first appeal to the foreign communities in Japan in Decem ber, we estimated that 6SO.00O persons out of a population of 2,231,557 were on the verge of starvation. Slnco then members of our committee have personally visited 2S counties and a.s many towns in the provinces of Mlyagi and Fukushima and have distributed 9C00 yen. Our first fig ures estimating those affected by the fam ine are too weak to describe the actual suffering. "Able-bodied men, ragged and hungry, are facing the snow and the ley winds to bring wood from the mountains. In the hope of earning enough through its sale to keep their starving families. Women are covering their babies with the clothing from their own bodies to keen them warm, and such conditions as theso can mean only death in the end. Families once in comfortable circumstances are now reduced to want." The appeal tells of special instances of suffering and death, among them the find ing of the body of a woman who died be cause she was too weak to give birth to a child and was frozen to' death.

A special military commission is now sitting In Berlin considering the best means of making cavalry as invisible as possible in warfare. Harmonizing the men's uniforms with natural conditions as much as possible is not enough, anil the commission is now discussing the ad visability of dyeing the horses or screen ing them with light canvas trappings. At the war office yesterday it was said that several experiments had been mailo in this direction during the war In South Africa. One official said: "Many horses were dyed, but it was found that the dye soon washed off all except gray horses. Several vegetable dyes and Condy's fluid diluted were used, but the experiments proved of little value. "Canvas trappings made the horses perspire and Impeded, their movements, and besides, when the sun is behind the cavalry, the horses' legs can be seen through the canvas. "The best screen for cavalry used In South Africa was a combination of va rious heatherlike shrubs picked up on the veldt. These plants were in many cases strung upward and downward from the trappings, and gave the appearance, when cavalry were moving slowly across the sky line, of waving vegetation."
