COUNSEL SEES REPORTERS
Hartridge Says He Desires That No
One Shall Be Misled by Untrue
Stories Arfectlng Either
Side of the Case.
NEW YORK. July 15. Mrs. William
Thaw was prohibited today by the prison
rules from visiting her son. Harry Ken
dall Thaw, In the Tombs, but it was an
nounced that she will see him some time
tomorrow, probably in the afternoon. It
will be the first meeting of mother and
son since the tragedy on the Madison
Square roof garden, when Thaw shot
down Stanford White.
Mrs. Thaw Is at the Hotel Lorratne,
where Mrs. Nesbit Thaw, her daughter-Jn-Jaw,
has been making her home since
Harry Thaw was arrested. There was a
consultation at the elder Mrs. Thaw's
apartments this afternoon, at which Clif
ford W. Hartridgc, who has become chief
counsel to the prisoner since the hitter's
unexpected dismissal of the law firm of
Black. Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge. was
present. What was transacted is not
known, and Mr. Hartridge declined after
ward to say what changes. If any, were
contemplated In the line of defense.
In speaking of the case today. Mr. Hart
ridge said that, while he realized Thaw
was "in an awful hole." he did not believe
any Jury would ever convict him of any
thing. "I feel as sure of that." said the attor
ney, "aa I do that I am standing here.
I would stake my soul on It."
Previous to making the statement, Mr.
Hartridge had explained that for years
he had been a personal and even intimate
friend of Thaw, and It was as such that
he originally was called into the case. As
to the reasons leading up to the decision
on the part of Thaw to dispense with the
services of Black, Olcott. Gruber & Bo
nynge. Mr. Hartridge said he could not
speak at this time. He said:
"Judge Olcott is a personal and profes
sional friend of mine, and it would not be
fair to him or to Harry to talk about that
phase of the case until I shall have had
an interview with Judge Olcott. I expect
to see him tomorrow and get from him
the results of his work of the last two
weeks or more." Mr. Hartridge then said
to the reporters:
"I want a full and frank understanding
with the men who are going to follow
this case for the newspapers. I wish,
first of all, that nobody shall be misled,
and that no stories detrimental or untrue
as to ellner side shall get Into print and
be credited to the counsel for Harry
Thaw. As it is, many stories have been
printed that have hurt the case in the
minds of the public and the friends of
both persons most concerned in the affair.
All that we want is the truth. It will
come out In good time."
From a suggestion made by Hartridge.
It Is evident that both Thaw and his wife
are anxious to make some kind of a state
ment, for the new chief counsel said that,
among other plans he had in mind, was
one providing that Harry and Mrs. Harry
Thaw should write out for him whatever
they think or feel that the newspapers
should know and he would pass on the
articles and. if he approved them, would
give them to the newspapermen.
It is known to those who have talked
to Thaw and his wife that there are sev
eral subjects on which both wish to speak,
but their lips have been sealed by their
counsel. These subjects deal in 'good part
of their early life and family relations.
Hartridge refused to give a hint as to the
line the defense would take.
"It will be months before the case will
be brought up for trial, anyway." he said.
"I do not look for the trial before No
vember or more probably December."
TEST OF CANNED MEATS
Congress Will Know What Is the Ef
fect of Age.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 15. The bureau of chemis
try. Agricultural Department, is to carry
on a series of tests thl Summer to ascer
tain definitely whether canned meats de
teriorate. One of the bitter contentions
over the meat-lnepectlon amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill hinged
on the Senate requirement that packers
should place the date of manufacture on
each can of meat. v
The packers, however, insisted that this
was unwarranted, because they claimed
that meat, once put up In air-tight cans,
would last forever. They declared that
canned meat was as good In ten years as
It was In ten days, and they brought to
bear testimony of an official of the de
partment to corroborate their statements.
Some members of Congress had their
doubts about this, however, so it has
Been decided to make a thorough Inves
tigation and find out wll?ther the packers
were correct or not.
It is a well-known fact that vast quan
tities of canned meats furnished the
American troops during the Spanish War
were tainted much of It was absolutely
spoiled. It is also known that a great
deal of this moat had been canned sev
eral years previous in the expectation
that it would be shipped to Japan to sup
ply her army and navy during the Chinese-Japanese
War. Whether this meat
spoiled because it was improperly canned
or whether it spoiled because it had long
been canned is not officially known. That
it was spoiled Is not questioned, and that
very fact Is Justification for making a
careful investigation into this question.
The packers, during the late fight, set
up the cry that a date on canned meat
would needlessly injure their business, in
that people would not buy old meat if
they knew it was old. They asserted that
meat canned ten years ago, served along
with meat canned only a week ago, could
not be distinguished from the fresh prod
uct. No one In Congress had positive
knowledge to the contrary, and in the last
days of the session it was Impossible to
have an official test made, so the dating
of labels was dropped from the law. as
requested by the packers. an as Insisted
upon by the House committee and
Speaker Cannon.
If It shall develop during the investiga
tions this Summer that the packers mis
represented the facts, and If It shall be
disclosed that meat deteriorates in the
can after a reasonable time. President
Roosevelt will -insist upon an amendment
to the meat-inspection law at the next
session, and the men who beat this re
quirement in the present law will be un
able to withstand the pressure.
The packers and the House committee
may be able to trick the two houses of
Congress once, but they will not be able
to ropeat the stunt. The Senate reluc
tantly surrendered this label provision in
the last session, and if the Investigations
of the department show a necessity for
THAW
ANXIOUS
dating the labels on canned meats, it Is
reasonable to expect a more rigid pro
vision on this point than was Intended
to have been incorporated in the exist
ing law.
Had the meat bill come up in the early
days of the session, and had there been
ample time for its consideration, it would
unquestionably have been a more satisfac
tory law than that which was signed the
day of adjournment.
TRANSPORT OF LIVESTOCK
Government Will Hold the Railroads
to Letter of Law.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 15. The Heyburn 36-hour
livestock bill, which became a law June
29, occasioned so much criticism among
humane societies all over the country
that Secretary Wilson has determined to
see to It that the new law is rigidly ad
hered to, and that livestock in transit are
given the most humane treatment possi
ble. He has issued a circular letter to
all the railroads of the country which
handle livestock, calling their attention
to the law and notifying them in advance
that they will be held to a strict account
ability. In his letter the Secretary says:
Aa you are probably aware, there waa con
siderable opposition to the repeal of Sections
4386-00 of the revised statutes, particularly
from those persons who have interested them
selves In the humane treatment of animals.
I have determined to enforce this law strictly
and rigidly, and give you this notice at this
time in order that you may be able so to
arrange the matter of transportation of live
stock on your lines that violations of the new
law need not occur.
At the expiration of 30 days from the date
of this letter (July 7) the inspectors of the
department will be directed to report all
violations of the law, and these will be trans
mitted to the Department of Justice for in
stitution of suit and the collection of penal
ties. Under the old law the department pur
sued the plan of allowing railroad companies
to confess Judgment and pay the minimum
penalty of $100 per case. This practice will
not be followed In tha enforcement of this
law.
Among other things, Secretary Wilson
will see to it that cattle, sheep and hogs
are not shipped continuously for more
than 28 hours unless a special permit has
been granted extending the time to 36
hours. Secondly, he will insist that the
railroads load and unload the stock at
watering points in a strictly humane
manner, and that proper food and water
fs supplied at all such points. Moreover
he will require the railroads to keep these
resting stations in clean, sanitary condi
tion, as stipulated in the new law.
The Heyburn act imposes a penalty
ranging from $100 to $500 for Infractions
of its provisions, and the Secretary will
not be content with accepting the mini
mum penalty In cases where gross negli
gence has been proven against the rail
road companies. Whenever any railroad
Is found to be a repeated violator of the
law, the department will seek to have
the maximum penalty imposed.
While he is insisting upon a rigid en
forcement of the new law, Secretary Wil
son is a strong believer In its provisions
and was one of the warmest advocates
the measure had. He believes it more
humane, under proper conditions, to ship
livestock for 36-hour periods between
stops for feeding and rest than to unload
every 28 hours, but he will only issue
permits for these extensions when he Is
satisfied that the livestock will be ade-f
quately cared for. He holds the railroads
responsible for the proper transportation
of stock going from the range to market.
Ends Life With Poison.
LOS ANGELES, July 15. Ida Kelsey,
25 years old, committed suicide some time
last night by drinking carbolic acid. Gain
ing no response to repeated calls at her
room this morning, her door was broken
down by her employer, Mr. Osborne. The
girl was stretched on the floor, dead.
Miss Kelsey came to Los Angeles sev
eral weeks ago from Salt Lake City,
where her mother lives at 222 West Third
street. Recently she appeared to be un
dergoing mental stress, but refused to
tell the Osbornes what the trouble was.
Pasadena Pastor at Sellwood.
Rev. Ralph W. Miller, of Pasadena,
Cal., is visiting at the home of his father,
A. F. Miller, at Sellwood. Mr. Miller oc
cupied the pulpit of the Sellwood Metho
dist Church last evening. He is the pas
tor of a large church in Pasadena, and Is
now taking a six weeks' vacation.
Holds Mission Festival.
The annual mission festival of St. Paul's
German Lutheran Church was held yes
terday in Hawthorne Park. There were
services at 10:30 A. M. and 2 P. M. The
speakers were Rev. August Krause of
Portland, Rev. E. Eberele of Salem and
Rev. C. Buechler of Peninsular.

IN THIS LEMOCSINE YOU CAN READ BY ELECTRIC LIGHT. WARM YOURSELF BY A RADIATOR, AND EVEN PEEP AT YOURSELF IN A MIRROR.
The H. L. Keats Auto Company yesterday received a 40-horsepower Lemousine, or opera car, from the Pope Manufacturing Company. The car has a
speed of more than 30 miles an hour, can accommodate seven passengers, and has a gasoline capacity of 17 gallons, sufficient to run 270 miles. It Is fitted with
special tires bearing the monogram of the car, and also with special non-slipping corrugations; it has a leather top, mahogany lined, patent leather fenders
and double French plate-glass windows; it is trimmed in blue and black and has two large gas headlights, two electric sidelights and an electric signal light
in the rear. The electric lights can all be manipulated from the interior. The car is fitted with anti-rattling devices throughout, and has an improvement
whereby the noise of the engine can be dispensed with.
The interior is finished In blue broadcloth. In the top is an electric light for reading, while in the floor a radiator is provided to warm the car In cold
weather. On one side is a clock, a toilet case, a mirror and smelling salts, while on the other is a tray for receiving lighted cigars. It is fitted with an elec
trical Indicator for signaling the driver and also with a speaking tube which terminates near the driver's ear.
The new Lemousine is not for the use of the public but negotiations are on for its sale to a prominent Portlander, whose name is not yet announced.
NO FIGHT IN KING
Piles and Humphrey Have
Reached an Agreement.
EACH TO AID THE OTHER
Reception to Be Given the Senator
by Seattle Men Will Include the
Congressman, at the Sug-
gestion of the Former.
SEATTLE, July IS. (Special.) There
will be no fight in Kins County between
United States Senator S. H. Piles and
Congressman Will E. Humphrey. There
s a perfect understanding between the
two, which includes their friends. Hum
phrey Is to have the state delegation to
aid him in his fight for a renomination.
and, If Piles should find It necessary to
ask for help, Humphrey will insist upon
the Senator's Tight to name the legisla
tive ticket.
There was a time, after Piles had been
elected, when trouble could easily have
been made between the Senator and Con
gressman. Neither Piles nor his sup
porters believed Humphrey had aided him
as he should. Time did much to heal
this feeling, and contact in Congressional
work did the rest.
The two King County members of Con
gress will be tendered a Joint reception
July 25. This joint reception is partially
the work of Piles. It was suggested at
first by the King County Republican Club,
avowedly a Piles organization, with a
membership of 400 men who think enough
of political activity to pay Jo a year for
the privilege of membership. The club
wanted a reception for Piles, but when it
was suggested to the. latter he drew
Humphrey into it.
There has crept a bit of local politics
into that reception. It is to be held in
the hotel of State Senator W. G. Potts,
a candidate for re-election. Lest this
circumstance give rise to comment, the
club placed Prank A. Renick, State Rep
resentative and candidate against Potts,
at the head of the reception committee.
Renick is regarded as the Piles choice for
the Senatorial nomination. Almost di
rectly across the street from Potts' ho
tel Is that of George Stevenson, but a
reception at Stevenson's hotel in view of
the fight that is being made on him
might embarass someone, and the club
did not consider the place.
In a vague and indefinite sort of way It
Was understood when Piles' was elected
that King County would work with the
northwestern counties in Republican poli
tics. This might have been interpreted
to mean that F. H. Brownell, Snohomish
County possibility for Congressman,
would be aided by Piles. Both politicians
have not expected Piles to fight his home
candidate, and the agreement between
him and Humphrey is not likely to give
any offense In the northwest. There are
coming nominations that can be parcelled
out.
The close understanding In King Coun
ty is duplicated by that extending through
the state. Senators Ankeny and Piles
both favor the renomination of the pres
ent Congressional delegation. It Is known
to Ankeny's friends that he encouraged
in Spokane, Adams, Columbia and other
east side counties an indorsement of
Jones, Cushman and Humphrey. The
Spokane resolution meets Ankeny's ap
proval, and it is the one he has urged
in other counties.
Ankeny, of course, wants to keep Jones
and Cushman as friendly as possible.
Both Congressmen are pretty generally
understood to have pronounced Senator
ial ambitions. Jones lives on Ankeny's
side of the state, and Is a possibility to
be reckoned with at all times. It does
not hurt any to have him under obliga
tions to the senior Senator.
The three Congressmen are themselves
tied up In an effort to accomplish the
renomination of the trio and the addition
of Senatorial support means that in each
county as conventions are held the pro
posal to renominate all will be made, if
possible it is to be carried. Thus the
Congressional nominations will be deter
mined before the state convention meets.
The Spokane demand for districting the
state into Congressional districts is not
popular with any of the Congressmen.
None of the Representatives is in a posi
tion at present to make a fight against
such a plan, but it is pretty generally
understood that they will advise against

ing by Expert

districting. The Congressmen make the
broad suggestion that while elected at
large, they represent the entire state,
and that it is easier in a division of Con
gressional work to act in this manner.
Politically the advantage to the Con
gressmen In nominations at large Is ob
vious. The Congressional situation, summar
ized, is that the delegation wants to "let
well enough alone." Mutual interests ef
fected the combination that will likely
control the coming state convention.
CONVENTION WILL SETTLE IT
Borah Says Rumors of Combinations
Are False.
BOISE, Idaho, July 15. (Special.) It
having been learned that efforts are be
ing made In some localities to Induce sup
porters of Borah to oppose the convention
plan of nominating Senators, on the the
ory that he will be a candidate for the
Senatorship if the plan be defeated, he to
day gave out the following authorized
statement:
"The reports that I will continue to be
a candidate if the etate convention fails
to nominate are wholly unfounded. That
matter has been gone over many times
with friends who have urged me to
change my attitude, but there has been
and there will be no change. I am al
ways ready and willing to yield on mere
matters of policy, but on this matter the
course to be pursued is plain, and I be
lieve my friends are all coming to see it
that way.
"9o far as principle is concerned, the
fight is now won. This matter of electing
a Senator by the people is now being dis
cussed in the homes, among the people,
and passed right down in their caucuses
and county conventions. While some are
saying 'We won't,' the very thing to
which they object is now being done. All
this has been accomplished In a four
weeks' campaign. Now, whatever shall
happen at Pocatello, Idaho, will not turn
back the people. They have gotten hold
of the matter and they will not let loose
until It Is fully and fairly settled.
"I want to say, too, that the rumors
that I am forming combinations with
reference to the Governorship are wholly
false. There is no alliance with any can
didate for that office. I am entirely will
ing that the principle upon which I rest
shall stand or fall upon its merits, and I
am not asking any Gubernatorial candi
dates to shoulder any part of the fight
I would like this thoroughly understood.
Three candidates are entitled to an open
field disembarrassed by this matter, and
so far aa I am concerned they will
have it.
"As to local matters, the whole thing is
in the hands of the organization. I am
not wishing to take anything out of their
hands."

PEST OF SAGE RUTS
Hay Crops of Crook County
Destroyed by Rodents.
MULTIPLY VERY RAPIDLY
Poison Destroys Thousands, but
Without Apparent Effect on
the Myriads That Swarm
in the Fields.
FRIN EVTLLE, Or., July 15. (Special.)
Authentic reports from Hay Creek con
cerning the damage wrought by sage
rats are appalling. Notwithstanding tne
fact that the Baldwin Sheep & Land
Company,' of Hay Creek, has put forth
every effort to eliminate the pest, the
rats appear to increase like flies, and all
attempts at crop protection are in vain.
The company is in despair and has been
compelled to purchase much hay In
Crooked River Valley in advance for next
Winter's feeding.
L. Enderud, secretary of the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Company, which seems to
he the worst sufferer from the pest, says
in a communication:
"We have had several fine fields of
grain completely destroyed by these rats,
and they have also done considerable
damage in our alfalfa fields. It would
be difficult to state just what the damages
are in dollars and cents, but it is a seri
ous matter to the company. We have
poisoned thousands of these little de
stroyers, but It seems that while we
have been able to clear them out with
poison in a certain field, it has taken but
a few days for a new lot to occupy the
same ground.
"It seems that they come in from the
hills faster than we can kill them off
with poison, and thus all our efforts to
destroy them have been practically In
effective. Then again, we have noticed
that as soon as the grain and alfalfa
had attained sufficient growth to afford
them plenty of food, they would not take
the poison we put out. Our experience
with this is that the only time effective
poisoning can be done is early in the
Spring, before the rats can find any green
vegetation to live on.
"We have looked into the matter of In
oculating them with a disease that
would spread among and kill them off.

This, we have been Informed by officials
of the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington, can be readily done, but there is
a serious drawback to this process. The
disease is highly contagious and may be
communicated to any stock grazing on
the same ground. This makes the in
oculating very dangerous to experiment
with. Were it not for this grave outlook
the company would certainly order it
done, as we know of no other remedy
that will prove effective."
From the foregoing communication it
will be easily seen that the problem of
destroying the sage rat is a serious one.
Little is known of the habits of the pest.
It may be that this Winter will see them
cleaned out by natural process, as they
have never been known In such numbers
In this county before. Then, next year
may see them In vastly increased num
bers, preying upon every bit of vegetation
to be found. The problem is one for the
Agricultural Department to solve, since
poison and inoculation of any known
disease are ineffective.
AFRAID OF HER HUSBAND.
