THE MORNING OREGONTAN, WEDNESDAY, MAT 9, 1906. Can FEARS PEOPLE Great Precautions for Safety in St. Petersburg. WHEN PARLIAMENT OPENS Best Detec tives lii Kussla Guard Him Against Terrorists Xew Era ot Repression Violates tlie Pledges of Freedom. ST. PETERSBURG, May S.-Although there are few surface indications of the 'act that an earnest duel is in progress betitn the police and the terrorists and revolutionists who are thronging to the cajiTalp alert for any opportunity to strike Ernperor Nicholas or other marked men among the officials gathered here for the opening of the National Parliament, pre cautionary measures on an extensive scale "ave been taken. The police have been reinforced by the keenest men from In terior cities. The railways are being 'tched most diligently, but a search of tha baggage of three members of the lower branch of the Parliament was the only public indication of a campaign to day by which several terrorists were so Quietly bagged that the general public wa not aware of the arrests. In order to safeguard the Emperor in his passage up the river, the time of his arrival and departure is being kept a dead secret. The Nicholas Palace bridges, through the draws of which the Imperial yacht must pass, will be closed to traffic from daylight of Thursday until the de parture of the Emperor. The general pub lic win not even be admitted to a long distance view of the yacht from the- Pal ace of the Admiralty or the quays lining the river front, admission to which and to .the Palace Square will be by ticket only. The Prefect of Police, in an order is sued, which is worded, in contrast with former notifications, in the most polite terms, asks the public to keep moving while in the streets, and concludes that, "in order to avoid encounters which might cast a shadow over the solemn day, -processions and demonstrations will not be permitted." According to present plans, the speech from the throne will give the Constitu tional Democrats no point for criticism in the Parliament's reply. The Associated Press was Informed today that the speech will not touch on politics or suggest a programme. In substance, it will simply be a greeting to the Emperor's new co la borers In legislation. LIBERALS AGAIN VP IX ARMS Fundamental Law and Suppression of Meetings Show Bad Faith. ST. PETERSBURG, May 8. The danger of an early conflict between the govern ment and Parliament has been greatly Increased by what has happened within the last 34 hours. The good Impression produced by the official intimation of the new Premier that the Emperor and gov ernment were sincerely desirous of work ing in harmony with Parliament, which was accepted In good faith by the leaders of the Constitutional Democrats, enabling them to counsel moderation, has largely been dissipated, and In its place the old fueling of mistrust has been revived. The Liberals-;. ire utterly dumfounded, In view of the semi-official assurances on the Bubject, by the unexpected promul gation late last night of the obnoxious fundamental law in a slightly modified form. At one stroke it put an end to the claim which the new Cabinet tried to foster, namely, that the downfall of the Witt Cabinet was due to imperial dis approval of the original draft of the law. Strait Jacket on Parliament. An article in the law not mentioned In last night's dispatches, exempting crown lands from taxation and expropriation, and another reserving ihe power of amnesty for political prisoners to the Emperor, run counter to the already ex pressed will of the majority, and are bound to produce a clash. The only com mendable new feature of the fundamental law is a provision to the effect that im perial orders must be countersigned by ths President of the Council of Ministers or the member of the Cabinet whose de partment is affected. Put so long as the Cabinet is not responsible to Parliament It is easy for the Emperor to dismiss an unwilling Minister and replace him by one who will do his bidding. The Indignation aroused by the Emper or's attempt to build an artificial dike around the prerogative of the crown has been intensified by the action of the police last night, in dispersing a meeting of some members of the lower House of Parliament and of the upper House, or new Council of the Empire, at the Hall of the Economical Society. Without any warning, the building was surrounded by the Iomaelovsky Guard Regiment and a detachment of cavalry. Meetings Broken l"p by Police. A hundred policemen marched into the hall, where Count Heyden, a Marshal of the Nobility and a member of Parliament, was presiding, and ordered the meeting to disperse, under instructions from the Chief of Police. In spite of vigorous protests that the meeting was entirely legal under the regulations covering the Society, the Police Captain who was in charge of the police and troops was inexorable, and the members of Parliament were compelled to yield to force and left the hall, after drawing up a formal protest, which was signed by 28 members of Parliament. M. Ttodtchleff, a member of Parliament for St. Petersburg, hurried after midnight to the hall where the Constitutional Demo crats were holding their convention and announced to them the action taken by the police. An indescribable scene of fury followed, after which Rodichieff. in a speech which was cheered to the echo, declared that the government's appeal for confidence had again been false and that the people must rely upon themselves. M. Rodichieff presented a petition, in sub stance as follows: On the eve of the meeting of Parliament the Government ham flung down a new provo cation to the people by the Icsue of the funda mental law and by depriving their representa tives of the rlsht to revbe it. The ruling bureaucracy rHumed ita am-lent . power and Parliament, the center of the people's hopes, la shorn of the rights solemnly conferred upon it by the manifesto of October SO. The party of th pople'a llbrty and the members of Parliament see In thia mjc.t an open and flagrant violation of the people's rights and announce that no bureaucratic goevrnroent can stop the people's representatives from arcompllehinc their duty. When the reading of the resolution was finished there arose a storm of cries of too weak" but M. Rodichieff appealed to the members of the convention not to lose their heads. His appeal carried the day and the convention adopted the reso. lutlon by a standing vote. Aroused by the outcry oaused today by the closure of the meeting, the police tonight published an explanation of their motion, justifying It under the strict let ter of the law, which permits of the presence of only members at meetings of societies. The presence of members of Parliament and other outsiders, the explanation says, made the meeting il legal. The explanation has not allaved the public Irritation, as the law in this respect has not been enforced strictly. ficient to excite the members of Parlia- 1 ment, the local authorities inflamed- the I working classes yesterday. Without warn ing, they ordered many of the leaders of the workingmen to leave the city. They were not even given time to remove their families. The matter was brought to the attention of a meeting of 122 peasants and workmen members of Parliament, who denounced it as an attempt on the part of the government to bring about a strike on the eve of the assembling of Par liament, for the purpose of providing a struggle, and under cover of the disorder to dissolve Parliament. Nevertheless, the meeting appealed to the workmen at this critical juncture to do nothing rash and to trust in Parliament in the fight for lib erty against repression. This meeting also appointed a scandal committee to collect evidence of violations of the rights of members of Parliament, two of whom, one a priest, have been searched since their arrival in 9t. Peters burg, and also to investigate the conspir acy on the part of the ministers to induce members of Parliament to lodge in gov ernment buildings. Black Hundreds Break Out. A mass meeting of "Black Hundreds" held yesterday under the presidency of M. Buborvin poured oil on the flames by exacting an oath from all present to the effect that if Parliament is found to consist of "traitors" they will offer their lives to protect the autocracy. No better evidence of the feverish haste of the gov ernment to strengthen its defense at all points before the assembling of Parlia ment could be given than the fact that 12 columns of the Official Messenger today are devoted to ukases and orders. The Emperor has yielded to the demand of the Russian people of the Baltic prov inces and Poland, where no elections have been held, granting two seats in Parlia ment to each. They will be selected from the purely Russian inhabitants. Thirteen members are also assigned to Central Asia, Samarkand, Russian Turkestan and Syr-Darya, Asiatic Russia, with the re striction that they elect one Cossack, six for the Ussuri,. South Siberia and Trans Baikalian provinces, and one for Yak utsk, East Siberia. The Constitutional Democrats conclud ed at 6 o'clock this evening after Pro fessor Milukoff had delivered a speech during which he congratulated the party on having disappointed Its enemies, who predicted a split. He believed the ideas for which it early stood were constantly growing in the country', while on the contrary the extreme revolutionary or ganizations were passing through a. cri sis. While the struggle might be pro longed, the Professor declared amid ap plause, victory was certain in the end. CZAR SENDS HIS GREETINGS Admires Roosevelt and Americans and Welcomes Investors. ST. PETERSBURG, May 8 (Special.) Ex-Senator William D. Washburn, of Minnesota, was received in audience by Emperor Nicholas today. The Czar looked pale, but healthy and serene. In the course of his conversation with the Sena tor he said: I desire a renewal of the old friendship between the United States and Russia and closer commercial relations. Russia la & field for American enterprises. I like Amer ica and admire the Americans. I believe President Roosevelt la a great man and that the establishment of peace with Japan- was in great part due to him. Please convey to him mv slncercst regards. I think highly of Ambassador Meyer's ability and states manship and like him personally. I fully appreciate Count Wltte's ability and his services at home and abroad.

In addition to the ac cusation against Maxim Gorky of engag ing In a political propaganda, the Pro curator charges him with participation in. the December uprising here, and it is ru mored that his extradition from the Unit ed States will be asked for. The Gost has been confiscated and pro hibited from publishing pictures taken by an American photographer, showing the life led in prison by Mile. Sptrtdonovo, who killed Police Chief Luchenowffsky at Tarn bo ff. She was sentenced to be hanged, but her sentence was commuted to 20 years' Imprisonment, after she had been most brutally treated by Cossack officers, one of whom was assassinated for so doing. FREE SPEECH UNDER THE BAN Meeting of Deputies Dispersed by Troops With BHyonet. ST. PETERSBURG. May 8. Troops and the police dispersed another meet ing of the Economical Society tonight.

IGNATIEFF NOT ASSASSINATED Lender of Reactionaries In St. Pet ersburg, Not Kieff. ST. PETERSBURG, May 8. There Is no foundation In fact for the report telegraphed from Kieff today that Gen eral Count Alexis Pavolich Ignatieff had been assassinated. General Igna tieff is In St. Petersburg; tonight and not in Kieff. DAWES CHAMPIONS TRUSTS Declares Sherman Law Discourages Business'' Agreements. CINCINNATI. May 8. Charles G. Dawes. ex-Controller of the Currency, in a speech before the Bankers' Club to night declared that the Sherman anti trust law is a dead letter and a discour aging influence to business. "This is the day of trade agreements," he said, ."and the Sherman anti-trust law, by an in herent quality, nullifies its power intend ed for good. A trade agreement may or may not be in restraint of trade. I hold that there are some which are beneficial to the public, and the present law is weak in that it lacks the specific defini tion of what is a legal and what is a criminal agreement. Thus, in the carry ing on of business a business man Is pre vented from entering into agreements with competitors which are essential." LOST IN STRANGE CITY Vancouver Girl Disappears on Way to Oregon City. Ira Hughes, of Vancouver, reported to the police early this morning that his 36-year-old daughter was missing. She had left Vancouver yesterday morning: to spend the day with friends In Oregon City and expected to return yesterday af ternoon. It was found that she had not arrived In Oregon City, and as Bhe knew no one in Portland and had never been away from home alone before, it was feared that she bad become lost in this city. t aught Told While Hunting a Burglar. Mr. William i nomas Lanorgan, provin cial constable at Cnapleau. Ontario, says: I caught a severe cold while hunting a burglar in the forest swamp last Fall. Hearing of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, I tried It, and after using two email bot tles, I was completely cured." This rem edy Is intended especially for coughs and colds. It will loosen and relieve a severe cold in less time than by any other treat ment, and Is a favorite wherever its su perior excellence has become known. For WAS IT STEALING? Lawyers Argue About Perkins' Campaign Gift. JEROME INSISTS IT WAS Question Whether It Is Crime to Take Policy-Holders' Money and Give It to Campaign Committee Discussed. NEW YORK, May S. Argument was begun today upon the George W. Per kins case in the appellate division of the Supreme Court. Mr. Perkins was formerly vice-president of the New York Life Insurance Company. He was brought before the court in March on a charge brought to test the question of whether the making of political contributions by the insurance com panies constitutes a crime. The case now comes before the appellate divi sion on an appeal from a ruling by Justice Greenbaum that such contribu tions constitute larceny. Mr. Perkins was represented by ex Judge William N. Cohen, Lewis L. Del afleld and Howard S. Gans. In opposi tion to the appeal appeared District Attorney Jerome and Samuel Unter meyer. Judge Cohen contended that there Is not sufficient legal evidence to Justify the Magistrate in assuming jurisdic tion in this case, and that the prop erty taken -was contributed for the benefit of Its true owners. Judge Cohen said that, if the court Tield that in campaign contributions the property was not taken for the benefit of its true owners, the proper course of ac tion would be a civil suit to recover it. He declared that at the time it was made, Mr. Perkins' contribution -was not prohibited by law. "The chief question," said Judge Cohen, "Is one of Intent, and there is absolutely no proof of felonious intent." Jerome Argues It Was AVrong. . District Attorney Jerome made an argument In support of Justice Green baum's decision, saying: Such an expenditure as this contribution, if bronght to the -attention of the courts, would no doubt have been prohibited by In junction. To take the property of those policy-holders who are of an opposite po litical party: to take the money of persons whose families will have to rely upon It for support, to advance the interests of a party to which they ae opposed, is contrary to the whole fundamental ethical conception of this community. 1 think that such a course much be opposed bv any right-minded man. Mr. Jerome said ho would concede that to prove the commission of crime felonious Intent must be established. But he declared the expression "feloni ous intent" is one of the most elastic meaning. He added: Perkins Competent to Know. As to showing the criminal intent, a great deal of discretion resides in the court. I maintain that it is sufficient to prove that there was a moral evil, to prove that there was felonious intent. I maintain that the relator did what was "malum in se" and that he haa been very thoroughly shown to have been fully competent to know ita meaning. Further arguments against Mr. Per kins appeal were made by Mr. Unter meyer, who said that Mr. Perkins, be ing vice-president of the company and chairman of the finance committee, was just as responsible for the disburse ment of money as the president him self. Mr. Delafield. of counsel for Mr. Per kins, also spoke briefly and said that during a period of 25 years past near ly every corporation in the state has at some time or other made contribu tions to political parties.. Court re served decision. POLICY-HOLDERS ARE VNTTED Organization of Mutual Life Men In Every State. WASHINGTON, May 8. Bernard N. Baker, of Baltimore, presided over and was made permanent chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the Mutual Life In surance Company's Policy-Holders' Asso ciation, which met here today. Sixteen committeemen from states and territories and foreign countries were represented by proxies. It was decided to incorporate the association under the laws of the Dis trict of Columbia. The report of Secre tary Russell W. Pish showed that the membership extends to every state and territory in the Union, to seven Canadian provinces and to several foreign countries. A telegram from Judge Leo Raisseur, chairman of the St. Louis branch, of the association, said an "active movement is now organizing throughout Missouri." The reports from the different states indi cated activity in the' movement among policy-holders. All the large insurance companies were severely criticised for their opposition to the laws recently passed by the New York Legislature to carry out the recommenda tions of the Armstrong committee. Plans for taking the most active steps possible to extend the active work of the associa tion through state organizations were agreed upon. MUTUAL LIFE RECORDS TAKEN Jerome Seized Papers for Presenta tion Before Grand Jury. NEW YORK. May 8. Detectives from the District Attorney's office today visit ed the supply department of the Mutual Life Insurance Company and took posses sion of Its books, canceled checks and one document, which they conveyed to the Criminal Courts building. It Is be lieved that Mr. Jerome was seeking data for use by the special insurance grand Jury, OPENS WITH ENTHUSIASM (Continued Prom Page 1.) should and wisely do protect capital in its investment. The vast resources of our state call for the investment of capital for their develop ment. It is necessary that our laws should be conceived In a spirit of fairness and should hold out to capital the assurance that its Just and honest claims will be safe guarded. It is certainly possible to so frame our laws that they will guard every Interest of the people and at the same time by their justice and moderation lend no sense of insecurity to the capital which we Invite to aid in the upbuilding of our state. In all of thee matters, however, caution and good Judgment ar necessary. It la easy by a wildcat system of legislation to alarm the cautloua investor. Unwise and inflam matory laws enacted in Oregon at tha pres ent time would do much to check the invest ment of foreign capital and the starting of new enterprises which now promise addi tional employment to labor and additional prosperity to the people. A ' wtoe system of taxation la never conceived in passion or fathered by prejudice. It la the first duty of a government to be just to all persons. I heartily concur In the sentiment of the Presi dent that every man is entitled to- a aquara deal. If I am the dealer he shall have it. There 1 a demand for legislation for the supervision of private banks. The ordinary the solvency of private banking Institutions, and it Is wise that laws should be passed pro viding for a system of reporta from state and private banks, akin to tha Information now exacted by the Federal Government from National banks. I am opposed to the creation of needless offices, although it would seem as if a State Bank Examiner were a neces sity. State Land Agent No Longer Needed. The burdens of the taxpayers are sufficient ly heavy at present. They should not be In creased without good cause being shown. I be 1 i eve that t he office of t ate Land A gen t should be abolished. The lands of the State of Oregon have been for the most part dis posed of and the properties which the state now owns can be properly looked after by the clerk of the S.ate Land Board. One of the first duties of a public servant is that of economy in the expenditure of the public money. No public official should wink at the waste of the people's resources. If I shall be elected Governor it will be my effort to fight all extravagance and promote a careful and economical administration of the laws. . Riders on Appropriation BUI. Among other reforms which invite the at tention of the people of Oregon Is the perni cious custom of tacking riders on general ap propriation bills. Our constitution should be eo amended as to permit the veto power to be exercised on individual items of every ap propriation bill. Every appropriation should stand or fall upon its own merits. Bills so framed aa to prevent this call for a prompt veto, and thia power fearlessly exercised will speedily correct thia long established abuse of legislative power. The State of Oregon should adopt rational measures for the protection of our immense forest wealth. Great losses annually occur from fire which can be largely obviated by a well regulated patrol system. These losses run up into the millions of dollars, and, while the effect of this loss may not be felt at present, our indifference at least deprives posterity of a rich inheritance. I favor a broad and generous policy for the conserva tion and development of the great natural wealth which nature has so bountifully be stowed upon our state. Every legitimate means should b employed by the state to facilitate the transportation of the products of our various industrial enterprises. One of the greatest problems af fecting the general prosperity of our people is cheap transportation. The natural water ways of the state should be made available Dor unobstructed transportation at the earliest possible date. No Tribute at the Locks. The tribute exacted from the products of our farms, milts and factories at the Oregon City locks should be abolished.. By a per sistent and united effort on the part of our people this barrier to competitive transporta tion can be removed. This will mean added value to every pound of hops, every bushel of grain and to every other commercial com modity tributary to this waterway. The portage railroad at Celilo should be made as near canal conditions as practicable. The lowest possible freight rate only should be exacted. In this way a great system of transportation can be built up in the Up per Columbia and Its tributaries, thus stimu lating production and adding to the prosperity of our people over an immense area of our commonwealth. Nothing will add more to the prosperity and happiness of our rural population than will good public highways. . It is unnecessary at this time to enter into details, but suffice it to say that I believe the state should give substantial assistance to the betterment of our public highweryw. Instead of our con victs being brought Into competition with the honest skilled labor of law-abiding citi zens they should be employed upon the roads. That prison labor In the construction of roads in a success has been fully demonstrated by Multnomah County. With a well-organized co-operative effort on the part of the state and the various counties It Is confidently be lieved that within a few years material prog ress will have been made toward a better system of public highways throughout the state. Friend of School System. I am a friend of the public school system of the state. A Republican form of govern ment cannot exist except among an Intel ligent people, and all of the instincts of self preservation require the Government to provide a fair measure of education for the people. The state should, therefore, have and prop erly support higher institutions of learning. The pardoning power of the Governor should be exercised with extreme caution. "When a man has been convicted of crime by a jury of his fellow-citizens and when a court has sentenced him to a term in the peniten tiary, public justice and the public safety re quire that in all ordinary cases he should re main there during the term for which he has been sentenced. He should not be pardoned because of political influence which he can taring to bear on the Governor, nor because good-natured citizens can be induced to sign a petition for his release. 1 Kspeclally is this true of the professional criminal. The public safety demands that this class be confined, within the jails and the penitentiaries where they cannot prey upon the lives and property of law-abiding citizens. I make this statement on the sub- Ject of pardons because I believe that In the past pardons have been granted with too great" liberality. Governor a Public Servant. The Governor of Oregon should be the ser vant of the people. The people should have his ear and it Bhould be his endeavor to serve the people. If I shall be chosen Governor It will be my endeavor to administer the of fice along these lines. I shall invite sug gestions from the people on all matters re lating to the public welfare and shall en deavor to administer the office with justice to al and special privileges to none. In conclusion I commend to the considera tion of the voters of the state the other candidates of the Republican party. They have all been nominated by direct vote off the people. The primary has afforded an op portunity for a fair expression of the popular will. The primary law is on trial in this campaign. If the candidates of the majority party are defeated at the polls the primary law will be discredited and there will be an agitation for its repeal. For these reasons, and also because of my respect for my associate on the Republican ticket, I call upon aH Republicans in the state to support them at the polls. Oregon has been one of the banner Republican states of the Union. Let it prove itself so at the coming election and let our majority be so large that it will announce to the world most emphatically that the people of Oregon have confidence in that matchless leader of the Republican party Theodore Roosevelt.

Babb, the well-known horse dealer, is preparing to make a monster shipment of range horses to Alberta within the next few days. Between 600 and 800 head will tie shipped from this county, most of the animals coming from the vicinity of Pendleton, the Echo country and the section between Pendleton and Walla Walla. Mr. Babb is now at Echo, making some purchases. The horses in the big shipment will be of all classes and will be destined for the markets of Canada, While many will be heavy work animals others will he smaller and suitable for other pur poses.

Claims for Blood Money. OREGON CITY, Or., May 8. (Special.) Pending the holding of a proposed confer ence by the Marlon County authorities with the Clackamas County officials and representatives of the Oregon City Coun cil, the local authorities are making no attempt to distribute the reward money that was offered. $250 each by Oregon City and Clackamas County, for the capture of the outlaw. Frank Smith. The members of the Clackamas County Court are In re ceipt of a number of letters from persons claiming the reward in whole or In part. Distribution of the $250 reward offered by Oregon City has been left to the finance committee, and these representa tives of the municipality, together with the members of the County Court, believe that the only equitable distribution of the total amount of the reward can be deter mined by a conference of those making the offer. After the Vehicle Peddlers. WALLA WALLA. Wash., May 8. (Special.) The implement dealers of Walla Walla have again taken up the campaign against the transient vehicle peddlers that have established head quarters at Wallula. Besides the As sessor, who will go after them for their taxes, the dealers have employed trailers, who will follow the peddlers and endeavor to break up every sale attempted. The argument used by the local deal ers is in relation to the inferior qual ity of the goods offered by the tran sients and the unreliability' of any guarantee given by them. The same tactics were used by the dealers a few weeks ago. and succeeded in driving the peddlers from the county. Chance for Belated Nominees. SALEM. Or., May 8. A question has ben submitted to the Attorney-General regarding the necessity of candidates nominated for county offices at the. pri maries filing their acceptance; also to de termine whether candidates who have neglected to do so have yet time in which to file it and secure a place on the ticket. The Attorney-General holds that the filing of the acceptance is required by the law, but that there is still an opportunity for the candidates to do so. Having been nominated by individual electors of their party, and not by a convention or assem bly, they may file their acceptance at any time before 15 days previous to the day of election.
