THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, 3IAT 22, 1906.
ATTACK 111 RETORT
Crimes, of Corporations De
nounced by Gaynor.
BELMONT REPLIES ANGRILY
Farewell to Committee Sent Abroad
to Study Public Ownership Is
Marked by Bitter Speeches by
Judge and Financier.
NEW YORK. Max 21. At a dinner to
night by the New York Civic Federation
to the members of the investigating com
mittee ot the federation on municipal
ownership on the eve of their departure
for Europe. Superior Court Justice 'Will
iam J. Gaynor made an attack on corpor
ations, to which August Belmont, who
was also a guest at the dinner, made a
spirited reply. Judge Gaynor said:
In this day great franchises represent
nothing but perpetual tax on the people
of the community. A franchise is granted
for 89 vears. Nine years is more rea
sonable than 999 at this tim in the his
tory of the country. Certain rights are
granted to great corporations under tha
high-sounding name ot public franchises,
which are nothing more than gifts. These
gifts are bonded, stocked, doubled up and
continued for many years, a tax upon
the people.
Calls Corporations Dishonest.
Even in this presence I say the action
of these corporations is something dis
honest enough to shock the moral sense
of the God-fearing people of this com
munity. 1.31 week in Washington we had that
great debate on the railroads as a sys
tem. If the railroads be taken as an
example, we shall have before us for our
consideration some startling facts.
The horrible crime of the corporations
have come to be understood by the peo
ple. The people realize that great utili
ties are not being operated for the pur
pose of public wealth, but for the ag
grandizement of one man. which is the
reverse of public sentiment and public
Remand. Corporations have :aken private
property, which can only be taken pos
session of upon the assumption that cer
tain rights are to revert to the owners
of that property, when In fact they are
providing no return to the people.
W have recently had explained to us
bow a certain man or a certain interest
ran carry freight from one section of
the country to another for one-half of
what other men have to pay. Suppose
a man with 100 head of cattle had been
allowed to pass through a toll rate by
paying one-half of what his neighbor
bad to pay. What do you suppose the
people at that time would have done?
Why, they would have torn down the
toll gate and ultimately we will tear
down the railroads, destroy them, peace
ably if we can, forcibly if we must.
Belmont Replies Angrily.
Mr. Belmont said in response:
I want to repudiate In the most unqual
ified terms the insinuations that I man
ageor that my associates manage
these corporations in any other spirit
than that of honest or of correct pur
pose, or with any purpose other than
that of complying with every letter of
the law. I think that every corporation
and" that- every corporation manager is
entitled to be heard in court first, and
that his action shall be tested after the
verdict of the court and not before. You
know to what I refer and therefore it
will not be necessary for me to repeat
it. and I am sorry that I have to make
this statement. - .
When Mr. Belmont had1 concluded " hi
retort to ,wh- Justice Gaynor had to
say, he turned and, looking the Justice in
the face, struck the table a blow with
his hand which caused the china to rat
tie. Continuing. Mr. Belmont said:
Wants Impartial Report.
So anxious was this organization that
the report of the committee should be
absolutely impartial that it took every
step to free the committee from any pos
sible embarrassment to the federation
other than It should lean upon that body
for its expenses. The federation has
chosen Its own committee and, whatever
the result may be, ita work will bear
no hall mark of any special Interests,
and least of all has there been made any
effort to create any argument against
municipal ownership of public utilities,
as has been Intimated here tonight.
I wanted to be here tonight because
it has been insinuated by those who de
sired to discredit thla committee that It
had another purpose in view. Realizing
that the subject before the people was
one that was going to be discussed on
the stump during our political cam
paigns and vitally concerned the two ele
ments which the federation is trvtng to
bring together, the federation thought it
should. If possible, open for the public
a text book on municipal ownership. I
knew that that would probably be said
to you. but from the fact that T am the
representative of a large traction com
pany. I thought that I would like to tell
you myself, because It has nothing what
ever to do with myself.
At the meeting of the committee T said
that. If the result of this investigation
furnished an argument for the acquisi
tion by the municipalities of the proper
ties which I hRve been elected to man
age that would not deter me. On the
contrary, as a citizen, I welcome a cor
rect interpretation of this subject.
ARGVES OX HEARST'S CONTEST
Lawyer Repeats Allegations of the
Wholesale Fraud In Election.
ALBANY. N. Y.. May 21. Attornov
General Mayer today gave a hearing on
the application of William R. Hearst for
permission to commence quo warranto
proceedings to test the title of George
B. MoClellan to the office of Mayor of
New York City.
Clarence J. Shearn. attorney for Mr.
Hearst. In presenting his argument, said
Mr. Hearst asked for the opportunity for
a recount because he believed he had
received the largest number of ballots:
because the ballots had not been truth
fully counted; because intimidation and
violence had prevented a full expression
of the elective franchise, and because
be had been the object of conspiracy on
the part of certain election officials.
Mr. Shearn declared that In 800 out of
19-48 districts there had been a miscount,
and that fact alone should warrant the
granting of tho application. Mr. Hearst,
he said, had no representation among
election officers, and the bi-partisan
boards in some districts were nothing
more than a farce.
Corporation Counsel Butts said that Mr.
Hearst had failed to present a prima
lacie case in behalf ot his application.
Mr. Mayer reserved his decision.

Bombthrower Severely Wounds Op
pressor and Is Captured in Flight.
KALISZ. Russian Poland. May 21. A
second attempt on the life of Count Kel
ler, a Colonel of dTagoons and nephew of
Lieutenant-General Count Keller, who

than 30 wounds from splinters of tha
bomb, was saved from Instant death by
the too good aim of hla assailant, tha
bomb exploding directly beneath tha
body of Colonel Keller'a horse, which
received the major portion of tha charge.
The wounded man may recover.
Tha explosion shattered the windows la
all the adjacent houses, and ruptured
the, ear drums of Colonel Keller's aida
de "camp. The bomb-thrower attempted
to escape, but became entangled tn
hedge, and was arrested by pursuing sol'
diers, who were forced to use their
sabers before they could subdue him. He
was severely wounded.

-NOT FIGHT OX FALSE ISSUE
Douma Dodges Quarrel With Czar
and Votes on Land Question.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 21. (2:25
P. M.) The threatened storm . over the
Emperor s refusal to receive the delega
tion from the lower house of Parliament.
appointed to present to him its reply to
the speech from the tnrone. has been
averted. The house this afternoon adopt
ed a resolution to proceed with the regu
lar order of business, and the discussion
of the agrarian question began.
The moderate leaders of the Const!
tutional Democrats, after laboring with
the hotheads until the early morning
hours, succeeded in convincing them that
It would be a fatal blunder to precipitate
a conflict upon a false issue, and a reso
lution was prepared pointing out that
the importance of the address consisted
in Its contents and not in the form in
which It is transmitted to the Emperor.
A resolution of Novgorodseff, urging the
necessity for overlooking minor incidents
and getting to work on agrarian ques
tions was unanimously adopted, after
which the House proceeded with the agra
rian debate. The project adopted by "the
convention of the Constitutional Demo
crats, laying down the general principle
that the land belonged to those who tilled
it, was formally presented, but was tem
porarily laid aside to permit the organiza
tion of committees to examine credentials
and investigate the election of members.
Eleven committees, Including the entire
membership of the House, distributed by
lot, were appointed for this purpose.
No ministers had been present in the
House up to the hour of the recess.
After an hour's - discussion, the House
adjourned without fixing any date for tho
next session, which will probably be
Thursday.

T. J. IMEWHILL MAY SUCCEED
Teacher Who Had Quarrel With Wife
and Step-Children Makes Grave
Accusations Against Charac
ter of His Spouse.
E. A. Milner yesterday tendered his
resignation as principal of the oodlawn
School, and Superintendent Frank Rigler
assumed charge of the institution, r. J.
Newbill, principal of a public school at
Independence, Or., will iu ail probability
be Milner's successor, as be came here
last night in response to a request from
Mr. Rigler. and this morning will accom
pany the latter to Woodlawn, where he
will temporarily act as principal until
the City Board of Education is in a posi
tion to make a permanent selection.
Milner's resignation was the direct re
sult of the family row which took place
at his residence last Saturday night, and
In which he is reported to have come out
second best. He presented his resignation
In the form of a letter, making serious
charges against his wife, and accusing
her of all kinds of Improper conduct with
other men. It is understood that he will
leave here as soon as possible, Texas
being his objective point so far as known.
Neighbors- assert that Milner was ex
ceedingly drunk Saturday afternoon, his
condition bordering on delirium tremens.
This is at variance with the statement of
Superintendent Rigler, who last night de
clared that Milner was perfectly sober
up to noon on that day, at the time he
left the weekly meeting of teachers. If
OBJECTS TO RESULT OF CRAN
ING VP DAY.
J. H. Mann, who resides at Til East
Tamhill street, appeared at the May
or's office yesterday and registered
a vigorous protest against future
"cleanlng-up" days In general, and
the affair of last Friday tn particu
lar. He stated that there was a
large vacant lot alongside his prom
ises, and that during tha absence of
himself and family on the holiday,
delegations from various sections of
the city used the lot as a dumping
ground for all the refuse from their
cellars and basements, so that when
members of his household returned
they were confronted with such an
array of ancient barrels, dilapidated
coal oil cans, boots and shoes, besides
a full line of furnishing goods that
had seen better days, that a doubt
existed in their mind as to whether
they had reached their own habita
tion or Incidentally run afoul of the
garbage crematory.
Mayor Xane promised to Investi
gate the situation, and, if necessary,
call upon the City Street Cleaning
Department to render relief.
At last accounts Mr. Mann was
headed In the direction of the office
of Francis J. McKenna.
he became intoxicated It must have been
sometime afterwards, according to Mr.
Rigler. Yesterday The Orgonian received
the following letter from Mr. Milner bear
ing upon the subject of his domestic
troubles:
Portland. Or.. May 20. (To the Editor.)
The sensational statement that I assaulted
Mrs. Milner or children Is absolutely false.
She and her children are In the same physi
cal condition today they were a week
ago. Every resident of Woodlawn knows
this. I was assaulted, but that does not
matter. The moral status is: How many
married men of Portland would consent for
their-wives to come home drunk? And
how many married men would consent for
their wives to associate with prizefighters
and North-End dlvekeepers? And many
mora, but that's all.
EDGAR A. MILNER.
This letter was evidently written at
a time last Sunday when Its author was
still smarting from the effects of the
castlgatlon he received at the hands of
his stepson and stepdaughter as a re
ward for his assault upon their mother.
The statement has been made that
Mrs. Milner gave her husband $25 upon
condition tnat he should leave Port
land, and that this amount represented
his total wealth. The facts are that
while he may have received the money
from his wife, he was also paid more
than $&0 at the office of the City Board
of Education on account of what was
due him for May salary.

ond and Morrison streets. Tomorrow
the Grand Lodge will begin itB meet
ings and Thursday the annual festivi
ties of the Muscovites will take place.
Many, of the delegates to the different
meetings are already in the city and
others will come today. Many, how
ever, will not arrive until tomorrow
as the Grand Lodge has much the larg
est membership and those who oome
for it alone will not come until to
morrow morning. Among the delega
tions which arrived last night were
those from Southern Oregon, repre
senting the lodges at Jacksonville, Ash
land, Grant's Pass and Gold Hill.
No special business is scheduled for
the Grand Encampment other than the
usual reports of officers and the elec
tion of officers for the coming year.
Claude Gatch, the present grand patri
arch, will preside at the session and he
will also probably be chosen grand
representative to the Superior Grand
Encampment which meets at Toronto,
Canada, in September. Offices in the
Grand Encampment are given by cus
tojn In direct promotion, with the ex
ception of grand junior warden, which
is open to competition. It is filled at
present by E. J. Sealy. The Grand En
campment will conclude Its session this
afternoon.
Mrs. E. E. Frazer. highest officer
of the Rebekah Assembly, will preside
at the meeting of that organization.
The usual business will be taken up
and meetings will be held both morn
ing and afternoon, today and tomor
row. If the matters requiring attention
are not concluded In that time, the or
ganization will convene again on
Thursday.
The social features of the annual
gathering of Oddfellows will not be
given so great prominence this year
as usual. It has been customary in the
past to hold an elaborate banquet, but
this has been dispensed with because
of the large contributions which the
order in Oregon has made to the San
Francisco relief fund.
SAYS HE SHOT AT BURGLAR
PROPRIETOR OF THE ELLA
SUMMONS THE POLICE.
Declares That Intruder Also Shot at
Him, and Exhibits Perfor
ated Nightrobe.
The Ella, at Washington and Ella
streets, seems to be a favorite haunt
of burglars, as three distinct attempts
have been made within the last .two
weeks. The circumstances of the per
sistent attempts to rob the house are
shrouded in mystery and the police are
at a loss to understand It.
Mrs. Martin, the proprietor of the
house, called the police stattlon up
about 1 o'clock this morning and asked
that an officer be immediately sent as
someone was trying to enter the house.
Hardly five minutes elapsed when the
telephone bell rang again and this time
Mr. Martin informed Captain Bailey
that he shot at the burglar twice, who
returned the shot.
As the case seemed very suspicious
Captain Bailey lost no time In going
to the house with several officers to
Investigate the story.
On arrival the policemen found Mr.
Martin in his night robe with a revolver
in his hand. Two large holes In his
robe were caused, Mr. Martin said, by
the shot of the burglar. The holes were
burned out In two places and it seems
strange how a bullet could have entered
one side of the robe and come "out on
the other without hitting Mr. Martin or
even scorching his underwear. Mr. Mar
tin was greatly agitated and his version
of the story was that he was awakened
late In the night by a noise on his back
porch. Having in mind the two previous
attempts of burglars to enter the house.
Mr. Martin went downstairs and says
he saw a man leaving his back porch.
Mr. Martin shot at him several times,
when the attempted burglar. Mr. Mar
tin said, jumped over a low fence into
a neighbor's yard and shot at Mr. Mar
tin. The latter says he at first thought
he was struck by the bullet and directly
afterwards the robe caught fire In two
places, presumably from the shot.
Mr. Martin's revolver still had five
cartridges In It and he said he would
throw the weapon away tomorrow and
buy a shotgun. His wife and several
ladies in the house corroborated Mr.
Martin's story so far as the shooting
was concerned. The darkness prevented
anyone seeing the burglar, although one
of the neighbors said that she saw a
suspicious character about 10 o'clock last
night prowling around the alley back of
the house.
Captain Bailey left several officers to
meet the Intruder if he ventures to make
another visit, and the case will proba
bly be thoroughly investigated today.
Murder on Rockefeller Estate.
NEW YORK . May 21. A special to
the Times from Tarrytown, N. T., says:
There was a shooting affray last night
on John D. Rockefeler's place at Pocan-
tico Hills, as a result of which one man
is dead and another dying. It Is said
that another wounded man disappeared.
There have been several fights about
here among the Italians who are em
ployed in laying out roads. According to
a witness of the trouble last night, a
group of men were talking in an excited
manner, when suddenly there were sev
eral shots, and the men scattered. John
Content fell and died instantly; shot
through the forehead. A second man,
who will probably die. is named Tony
Dominick. He was shot In the head,
and also in the side.
Exterminates His Family.
WOODCLJFFE, N. J., May 21. John
Cole, an engineer, killed his daughter.
Maria, with an ax today, attacked his
wife with the same weapon, striking her
in the head and probably fatally injuring
her, and then killed himself by shooting.
Cole attacked his daughter from behind
as she stood watching a young man who
Jiad called upon her and had Just de
parted. He drove the ax into her skull
and she died Instantly. The mother ran
from the house, but was overtaken by
Cole, who rendered her unconscious with
a single blow, then shot himself.

CONVENTION SO VOTES
Papers of Interest to the Profession
Are Read at the Annual Ses
sion of the Oregon
Association.
Members of the Oregon Dental Asso
ciation, which opened its annual conven
tion last night with a meeting In the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, will
contribute liberally to relieve the unfor
tunate practitioners who suffered from
the San Francisco catastrophe. Not only
will individual subscriptions be taken,
but the association last night voted to
give a substantial sum aa an organiza
tion. At the close of the present convention,
the association will turn over to a com
mittee every cent In the treasury, to be
forwarded to the San Francisco dentists.
In order to have this donation as large
as possible, the usual annual banquet will
be dispensed with, and expenses will be
curtailed wherever possible. It was pro
posed to double the membership dues, in
order to Increase the size of the gift, but
this will not be done, as it waa remem
bered that no meeting was held last year,
and that dues for two years are now
available. This will be a 4 assessment
upon each member,, of whom there are
now about 100 in the organization.
The San Francisco Subscription.
The committee appointed to take charge
of the San Francisco subscriptions, ap
pointed by President Clark, consists of
Drs. A. W. Chance, S. J. Barber and
Jean Cline. They will communicate im
mediately with the profession In San
Francisco and ascertain to whom to send
the money, so that it will most promptly
be distributed among the dentists of tne
Bay City. . A communication was read
from the Ijos Angeles dentists, asserting
that their fellow-practitioners in San
Francisco were among the most needy
sufferers from the fire, as they lost their
apparatus, offices, homes and to a large
extent their practice.
Almost 100 members were present at the
session -of the convention, representing
practically all parts of the state. The
meetings are to be continued today, and
will be given up almost entirely to prac
tical discussion and clinics.
President Clark opened the session by
reading his annual report, which Bhowed
that the organization was in a flourish
ing condition and wae doing a good work
as a means of bringing together the den
tists of the state and enabling them to
compare notes and listen to discussion by
experts upon various subjects. He rec
ommended that the dues be raised to 5
in order to supply the association with
sufficient funds to bring speakers from a
distance to the annual meetings. He also
opened the discussion which led to the
appropriation of money for the California
relief fund.
Two papers were presented during the
evening, one by Dr. W. F. Lewis, of
Portland, upon "Rationale of Plastics,"
the other by John Hood, a member of the
firm of Hood & Reynolds, of Boston,
upon "Gold For Dental Purposes."
In discussing the subject of plastics.
Dr. Lewis asserted that certain combi
nations of cement and amalgam were
equal to gold for filling teeth. The use

cent during the past ten years and would
be used still less for dental purposes in
the future. He gave as reasons that
gold necessitated the waste of tooth tis
sue In preparing cavities, caused pnln to
insert, and made the mouth unslehtly.
"I do not believe In abandoning gold
fillings entirely." he said. "They are de
sirable In some cases, but In others a
plastic filling Is fully as good and often
better. If dentists would give the same
care to the preparation of an analysis
filling that they do to a gold one they
would receive the same satisfactory re

be given to placing a plastic filling as
a gold one. and that the dentist ts en
