PURE FOOD MEN
WITH ROOSEVELT
With One Voice Condemn Crit
icism on Treatment
of Packers.
WHO CAUSED PUBLICITY?
Not President, but Chairman of
House Committee Manufactur
ers Ask States to Conform
Willi Federal Iaw.
HARTFORD. Conn., July 19 Criti
cism by Frank Thurber, a New York
lawyer and formerly a manufacturer,
of the methods pursued by President
Roosevelt in connection with the in
vestigation of the packers, was the
chief feature of this afternoon's session
of the National Pure Food Convention.
He characterized as hysterical the
publicity given to the reports con
cerning the packing-houses by the
President. He did not see why the
President should have ignored his offi
cial reports and turned them over to
social settlement men to decide.
B. H. Needham, of Washington, In
reply to this criticism, said that. If It
had not been for the action of the
chairman of the agricultural commit
tee of the House, these reports would
never have been published.
A motion was passed unanimously
disapproving the sentiments expressed
against President Roosevelt.
The following resolution presented
to the convention fn behalf of nearly
100 manufacturers and dealers of the
East. West and Middle West, was read
and referred to the committee on reso
lutions: Resolved, That the undersigned manufac
turers and dealers of food products hereby
request the officers having charge of the en.
forcement of the food laws of the several
states to adopt rules In harmony with the
regulations which may be adopted by the
Federal officials, Insofar as they can con
sistently do so.
The convention proceeded to the elec
tion of officers at the close of the ses
sion. H. Ankeny. of Columbus, O..
was elected president by unanimous
vote, and R. M. Allen, of Kentucky,
was re-elected secretary. A commit
tee of five was appointed by the chair
man to bring in nominations for the
other officials.

agree to vote to reduce the assessable
value of the property of the street-car

the company representatives at his house,
and completed negotiations in the bath
room with witnesses concealed in an up
per room, where they could hear the con
versation and see the money change

Navigates Successfully Over New
York and Lands Safely.
NEW YORK, July 19. (Special.)
After probably the most exciting and
unique experience a woman air navigator
ever encountered. Mrs. Julian P. Thomas,
wife of Dr. Thomas, landed safely tonight
from the balloon Nirvana at the foot of
the Palisades on the New Jersey shore
of the Hudson River, opposite Harlem.
She was in the air for more than three
hours.
In the balloon was Mrs. Thomas with
her husband and Roy Knabenshue. the
Toledo aeronaut. She cruised all over
Manhattan and upper Staten Island,
tacking with each change of the wind.
At 5 o'clock the balloon headed for the
Battery In its second trip south, appar
ently sinking lower and lower and for a
time it seemed as if disaster must come,
and that It would be smashed against
the mammoth skyscrapers.
Just as the balloon seemed to be sink
ing dangerously near the tall structures,
another current of air caught it and car
ried It straight upward and northward.
Then another cBrrent swung it along and
it started westward, passing over Hud
son River where the valve was opened,
permitting the balloon to sink gradually
until it landed in a good place.
Mrs. Thomas was enthusiastic tonight
over her trip and announced her inten
tion of making another as soon as she
could. She stated that at no time was
she frightened, and that she always had
confidence in the successful termination
of the voyage. " i
WANTS TO KEEP HIS WORD
Gourdain Appeals to Supreme Court
to Put Him In Prison.
NARRAGANSETT PIER, R. I.. July
19. Louis Gourdain, the Chicago and New
Orleans lottery dealer, who is seeking
to be returned to the Jollet, 111., peni
tentiary, from which he was recently re
leased, arrived here from New York to
night and went to the home of Justice
White, of the Supreme Court of the
United States. Justice White informed
him that he would not accept the peti
tion or order until it had been filed with
the clerk of the court.
The interview between Justice White
and his visitor was a pleasant one. as
Justice White was formerly acquainted
with Gourdain's father and both came
from La Forche Parish, La.
In the petition, Gourdain explained, he
had set forth that during his trial he
had given his word that if convicted he
would not appeal from the sentence, but
in some mysterious way an attorney had
afterward intervened and had secured a
pardon for him, which Gourdain. at the
earnest eolleitaaon of his wife, had ac
cepted by signing the required bond.
Afterward, Gourdain explained, he re
pented of his action, as lie considered his
honor involved because of his promise
made in court prior to his conviction, and
he therefore desired to be returned to the
penitentiary.
"This is my last attempt to have the
sentence of the court enforced," said
Gourdain. "My release from Joliet was
against my wish or desire, and if I am
not taken back, I shall spend the next
four years in my own jail, an exact re
plica of the penitentiary in miniature. I
shall have a cell built exactly like the cell
I occupied in the prison until I was
turned out through the efforts of W.
Knox Hannes, an attorney, who acted on
his own Initiative, and not by my direc
tion. I bought the ground for my Jail
for N500.
"If Justice White refuses to return me
to the penitentiary, I will enter the cell
(.very night, get up every morning when
the penitentiary gong rings and eat prison
fare in prison garb. I will be Convict No.
9S00, and will go every day to my bank In
Chicago and work to pile up more money
to add to what I have already, and which
I will distribute among the persons who
invested with me and who lost on my
advice. I
"Immediately when my term has ex
pired, whether In the public or in my
private prison, I will carry out my Inten
tion of wiping the Gourdain family off
the map. I have a steam yacht, the Im
perial, now in the Gulf of Mexico. She
will be brought to a convenient port, and
I will go aboard with about 100 of my
own blood relatives all Gourdains and
we will sail away, and that will be the
last ever heard of us. There will be no
messages from land or sea. The family
will disappear.
"But before this takes place." he contin
ued, "restitution will be made to all per
sons who made me their trustee. In
vestors who placed their money with me
on options In the capital oil lands and the
Winn oil lands, in Louisiana, which were
listed on the Louisiana Stock Exchange,
will get their money back before the
Gourdain family is wiped off."

WILL ENFORCE LAW
Government Champions Eight
Hour System.
MAKE CONTRACTORS OBEY
Federal Officials In Charge of Pub
lic Works Ordered to Prosecute
Violators Law Ignored in
Interest of Economy.
"WASHINGTON, July 19. Action of the
greatest importance to labor circles is
contemplated In a direction given by the
President to officers in charge of public
works at the instance of Secretary TafL
This is to employ the Government's own
officers to direct and punish violations
of the law of 1902, providing that except
In case of an emergency, work on Gov
ernment buildings, ships and other prop
erties shall be limited to eight hours each
day tor each workman.
Congress Smothered BUI.
An effort was made oy the forces of
organized labor during the last session of
Congress to secure legislation to this end,
but so effective was the opposition of
the great contracting firms that adjourn
ment was had without action, though the
House committee on labor consumed
many hours in listening to powerful argu
ments on either side of the question.
Heretofore It has been the practice of
executive officers, when complaint was
madf; by labor unions that the eight-hour
law was being violated by contractors
engaged on public enterprises, to reply
that it was not their business; that the
law was binding on the contractors and
that, if the labor unions felt aggrieved
and knew of violations of the law, they
should proceed themselves legally against
the offenders. The labor unions pointed
out that it was almost impossible for
them to secure the necessary evidence.
'W ill Increase Cost of Work.
The effect of the order on the cost of
Government work is expected to be very
great. It is kn.wn that it has been
almost the rule for the Government con
tractors to work their men ten and 12
and even more hours per day; if they
cannot do this, they assert that they
must increase by 20 or 25 per cent the
amount of their bids, so that Congress
must either increase by like percentage
the appropriations for public works or
must correspondingly reduce the amount
of work authorized.
ELKS PARADE IN SPLENDOR
Thousands of Bright Uniforms
March Through Denver Streets.
DENVER, Colo.. July 19. Festivities
in connection with the reunion of the
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks
culminated today in the annual parade,
which was the finest pageant Denver
has ever witnessed. Under a clear sky,
with a light breeze, all conditions were
propitious, and enormous crowds lined
the streets through which the proces
sion 'moved.
There fere 12.400 persons, representing
248 lodges, and many magnificent floats
illustrative of the cities whose lodges pro
vided them. Every lodge had a dis
tinctive uniform, gorgeous or domical.
Interspersed in the procession were 28
bands, the Royal Hawaiian Concert
Band holding the place of honor a: the
head of the line with the Midland hund
of Colorado Springs. Denver Lodge.
600 strong, and its mounted escort
team, all in blue serge suits with pur
ple cuffs and collars and white straw
hats, with purple bands, acted as es
cort of honor to Grand Esquire P. P.
Christensen and staff.
The Colorado division was .he Jnrg
est in point of numbers. It was head
ed by General Sherman ML Bell. Clos
ing the procession was an automobile
and carriage division, in which were
500 vehicles decorated with colors ar.d
elk heads. Ladies and children ac
companying the Elks generally rode
in the carriages and automobiles.
The first division consisted of a po
lice escort, officers and members of
the grand lodge in decorated carriages
and the Denver lodge acting as escort
of honor. Following this division
marched New Tork Lodge. No. 1, the
parent organization of the order, with
other herds from the Empire State
trailing after according to their senior
ity. Philadelphia Lodge, No. 2, with
other Pennsylvania herds, came next,
followed by San Francisco, No. 3, and
California lodges. The next position
was assigned to Chicago, No. 4, other
Illinois lodges following.
Along Sixteenth street the marchers
were showered with flowers and snow
balls, several carloads of snow having
been brought from the summit of the
Rocky Mountains by the Moffat road to
show the diversity o ' the Colorado cli
mate. The following prizes were awarded in
connection with the parade: Band march
ing contest First, cowboy band of Idaho
Springs, Colo.. $500.
Best appearance in line First, Detroit,
$500.
Uniforms First. Kansas City, $500.
Most attractive float First, Central
City, Colo.. $250.
Most beautiful banner Aetna, Pa., $150
punchbowl.
Kansas City won the prize for the larg
est number of men In line, and Colorado
Springs for the largest number from Col
orado exclusive of Denver.
This afternoon rapid progress was made
by the grand lodge on the new constitu
tion, and by 5:30 every clause had been
considered and debated. At that hour bal
loting was begun and the constitution
was adopted by a large majority. It is a
complete change of the organic law and
now goes back to subordinate lodges for
approval. If they vote to adoptWt, it be
comes law after the next convention.
The particular point that caused the
most debate was in regard to the judicial
feature of the proposed new organiza
tion. It provides that a sort of court
shall be named, consisting of five mem
bers appointed by the grand exalted ruler,
to be known as the grand forum. This Is
the court of last resort to which appeal
can be taken. After considerable discus
sion It was agreed that the grand lodge
can have the pardoning power, just as a
Governor or President has.
The board of governors of the National
Home was abolished and the management
of the Home was vested in the board of
trustees and the grand lodge officers.
State associations are recognized' only
as social organizations, and have no pow
ers of legislation binding on the order.
Tonight the grand lodge is further con
sidering the new ritual.

VRGE PAULHAMUS' CHOICE.
Seattle Manufacturers Asfc Place for
Him on Interstate Commission.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 19. (Special.)
The Manufacturers' Association of Seattle
this afternoon asked Senator Piles to
make a fight for the appointment of
W. H. Paulhamus, of Sumner, for mem
bership on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. A similar request was made to
Senator Piles several months ago, but the
passage of the new railroad rate bill and
the appointment of Franklin K. Lane, of
San Francisco, has given support to a
new movement.
The Manufacturers' Association alleged
today to be able to show that 60 per
cent of the all traffic of the Pacific
Coast Is contributed by Washington and
based its light for Paulhamus' selection I
upon the contention that a man familiar
with Northwestern traffic conditions is
necessary on the commission.

will elect to be tried separately, and will
plead not guilty.
"I believe the religion is dead forever,"
said Mrs. Creffleld. "We had intended to
continue our faith here, but it would have
been a revised faith, and one against
which there could not have been a breath
of suspicion. What we did in Oregon we
thought right at the time. We have
found further light since, and view our
practices three years ago as wrong. It is
not for the public to know what the Inner
workings of our religion were. 'Holy
Rolle)rlsm' Is not spreading, and there is
little danger of It doing so."

SUNNYSIDE DEAL CLOSED
Trivial Objections to Purchase of
Irrigation Canal Removed in
Hitchcock's Absence and Cir
cumlocution Office Weeps.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 19. Acting Secretary of
the Interior Ryan today approved the
purchase of the Sunnyslde irrigation
canal, in Eastern Washington, and
autnorized the payment of $250,000 for
the same to the Washington Irrigation
Company. The approval of this pur
chase removes the last obstacle in the
way of the construction by the Gov
ernment of the Tieton and Sunnyslde
irrigation projects.
Had this sale not been concluded to
day, the Washington Irrigation Com
pany would have withdrawn its offer
and the Government would have been
obliged to abandon both its projects,
or else enter upon prolonged litiga
tion. Notwithstanding the fact that
Secretary Hitchcock approved the Tie
ton and Sunnyside projects more than
six months ago and authorized the
purchase of the Sunnyside canal at
the above price, the owners of the
canal have been unable to collect one
cent from the Government, because the
Secretary of the Interior has not ap
proved the formal purchase, sonic of
the Government lawyers having found
trivial objections which they believed

cock, on his counselors' advice, refused
to pay over the money.
Three weeks ago President E. F.
Blaine, representing the owners of the
canal, came to Washington to conclude
the sale, if possible, but encountered
endless red tape. Exasperated beyond
endurance, he called on Acting Secre
tary Ryan this morning, told him
there was no legitimate excuse for
holding off longer, and said that, un
less tile Government closed the deal
for the Sunnyside canal by tonight, his
company would withdraw its offer
and not sell to the Government.
Director Walcott. of the Reclama
tion Service, who has all along urged
the waiving of trivial objection and re
peatedly recommended the purchase,
called on Mr. Ryan, and, owing to his
personal efforts, Mr. Ryan overrode
Mr. Hitchcock's advisers, and before
the department closed tonight directed
tharf. the Goovenment take over the
! canal, and that the Treasury Depart
ment pay over $250,000 to the Wash
ington Canal Company. 1
Mr. Blaine says his company would
have gone on enlarging its canal and
selling water to settlers, leaving the
Government to enter new fields. There
Is now no reason why contracts for
the Tieton and Sunnyside projects
should not be immediately entered into.
