THE MORNIXG OREGONIAX, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 1906. HEARST ASTRIDE E Mugwumps Forming an Inde pendence League Fear They Will Be Left Off Ticket. DICKER WITH DEMOCRATS Delegates Say They Will Be Bun coed if Hearst Insists on Ad journing Convention After' It Has Nominated Him. NEW YORK. Sept. 10. (Special.) On the eve of the stat convention of the In dependence League. W. R. Hearst and the chairman of his state committee, M. B. Ihmsen, are having hard work to carry through the dicker with the members of the Democratic machine who have prom ised to deliver to Hearst the Democratic nomination In Buffalo. The Gilsey House was crowded today with members of the Independence state committee and dele gates who made known their bitter oppo sition to any deal on the part of Hearst and the league with Charles F. Murphy or any of the discredited bosses of the party. . For the most part the men who made objections were Democrats and Repub licans who had been disappointed in" the Democratic party and desired to head a real Independent movement. They wanted the offices for themselves and made their objections in loud tones. The burden of their complaint was that they would be "buncoed" if Mr. Hearst insisted on being nominated for Governor and then on adjourning the convention so that the Democratic convention at Buf falo could ml all the other places on the ticket. They wanted those places for themselves, and thought Hearst, Instead of being unselfish, was thinking only of his own advancement. Hearst's Lieutenants Get llusj. Seeing the danger, Hearst's well-trained young men started to cause a change of sentiment, and tonight the press bureau sent out several interviews, the burden of which was that Hearst was the leader of the Independents and that his nomination should be considered as of paramount im portance. He had the Issues and the party and he should get a nomination, even if others had to wait. They said that if they could Induce the Democratic com mittee to indorse the nomination of Hearst then the Democrats might be given the other places on the ticket. Very industrious work was necessary to get these expressions of sentiment, and it was by no means certain the trouble had been averted when the state convention went into session in the Gilsey House late today to map out a programme for to morrow's session of the convention. William J. Conners appeared in the ho tel soon after the committee went to work and he had in his possession a petition to the convention asking that It follow the Hearst programme and dicker with the Buffalo convention. He wanted all nomi nations deferred. Conners Will Not Show Petition. .- Conners said the petition had been .signed by a majority of up-state Demo crats. When he was asked if it had been signed by Charles K. Murphy, he said it h:id not been presented to Mur phy, because It.' was limited to men in ithe interior of the state. He would not say whether it had been signed by del egates to tho Buffalo convention or by members of the regular Democratic State Committee and members of the county committees. All that he would Eay was that it had a majority of sig natures of uy-state Democrats. As a result of the spilt in the Queen's County Democratic Central Committee, 13 members were enjoined in Flushing tonight from holding a meeting at which it was planned to rescind reso lutions adopted in support of Hearst's candidacy, and to indorse Mayor Mc Clellan in his fight against Murphy. Hearst Opposed to Fusion. Whether the state convention of the Independence League, beginning today at noon, shall nominate candidates for all or any of the state offices to be filled at tho general elections, Novem ber 6. or shall await the action of the Democratic state convention at Buf falo, was debated until long past mid night by the state committee of the league, who finally summoned Hearst, who listened. to the heated discussion. At 2:oi) o'clock this morning it was agreed that Hearst should address the gathering. After declaring that he would rather not be the party's nominee than to sacrifice his principles, Hearst said : "I am for a straight ticket and am opposed to fusion. I do not think that anyone who is disaffected should be a candidate before Tuesday's convention." Following Hearst's speech a motion was adopted referring the matter of a state ticket to the committee on reso lutions. At 3 o'clock the committee ad journed.

Jerome Going to Convention. LAKEVILLE, Conn., Sept. 10. Dis trict Attorney Jerome has decided to uttend the Democratlo state conven tion at Buffalo, September 25. "Yes, I'm going to it," said he. "I am not going as a delegate nor as an alternate, but as a man whose name has been mentioned as a candidate for the Gov ernorship. My chief interest lies in the platform which the convention will put cut. Too much in the past the plat forms of both the Republican and Democratic parties have had no sig nificance. They have been arranged to cater to this or that element or feel ing, for the sole purpose of picking up mere ragtag and bobtail votes. "I have no desire to impose my Ideas on the convention's platform commit tee, but I have a right to say, if the convention should desire to nominate me, whether or not I am willing to run on the platform to be adopted by the convention."

J., Sept. 10.

The Utah Fuel Company is known as a Gould corporation, and its stock is held by interests connected with the Rio Grande Railroad. The company holds more than 30,000 acres of coal lands in Utah and practically controls the coal output of the state.

Congressman William Sulxer, Frob ' able Democratic Nominee for Governor of New York. ing that they had been acquired from the Federal Government by gross frauds. The Utah Fuel Company, the Pleasant Valley Goal Company, an allied concern, and the officers of tne two companies were named as defendants. One of the complaints charged that the State Land Board of Utah, "by and through the failure of certain of its offi cers and agents to safeguard the state's Interests is made to appear as an active party to a gross fraud." It was charged that these state officers had permitted the coal company to select and secure Immensely valuable coal lands for a small fraction of their actual value, the locations being made as on agricultural and gracing lands, through selections by the State Land Board, instead of as mineral lands. , Other complaints charged that the coal companies had made use of dummy lo cators to secure title to coal lands. The Morton Trust Company, of New York, as a holder of a mortgage to secure bonds Issued by the Utah Fuel Company, was made a party to the action.

DEPOSITORS TO RESCUE They Help Earle to Reorganize the Wreck by Subscribing Stock. Hippie Stole Mortgages With Other Security. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10. That there will be no prosecutions against the direc tors of the Trust Company was the au thoritative statement which emanated to day from District Attorney Bell's office. Although the special bank examiners are not through with their work, enough has been learned to relieve the directors of criminal responeiblllty for the collapse of the Institution. Encouraged by the prospects of an early reorganization of the Trust Company, many depositors today visited the offices with assurances to Receiver Earle of their willingness to accept preferred stock in the rehabilitated concern. Although up to a late hour Mr; Earle had made no additional statement concerning his prop osition, it is authoritatively stated that the plan is complete. It will first be sub mitted to a meeting of the stockholders, probably on Wednesday, and after they have passed upon the proposition It will be formally approved by the directors. An investigation of the strong box of the Detere estate, for which President Hippie was trustee, today developed tho fact that mortgage papers representing $25,000 were missing. Contrary to the general belief. Hippie carried only a small amount of life insur ance. This became known today, when counsel for the Hippie family announced that policies for a total of only $7000 on the life of Hippie have been found. The experts who are investigating the affairs of the Trust Company are exam ining securities of trust funds In the care of the institution. These trusts aggregate more than $26,000,000. Up to this time there has been only a hasty examination of the securities, and with the exception of about $50,000 they were found practical ly intact. MORE FORGERIES DISCOVERED Hering Shown to Have Stolen Large Sum in One Year. CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Secret memoranda covering illegal transactions in the Stens land bank were found today by Police In spector Shlppy among the effects of Frank KowalBki, the teller, whose sui cide followed closely the exposure of tho bank's condition. The record kept by Kowalski. It Is alleged. Indicates appar ently that In less than u year Henry W. Hering, the imprisoned cashier, person ally obtained $110,800 of the money of de positors by the same means adopted by Stensland in his systematic looting of the vaults. In four months, by tho use of cash tickets, which he placed in tho drawer, he obtained $6000 more, according to Kowalskl's schedule, and In another month $5000. The discovery of Kowalskl's tell-tale fig ures was followed by the opening of a wooden cash box in a vault that had re mained unnoticed since Bank Examiner Jones took charge of the institution Au gust 4. When it was forced open In the presence of Attorney Joseph Wissenbach and Jacob W. Loeb. representing Re ceiver Fetzer, a large bundle of forged notes, the existence of which had not been suspected, and which will Increase materially, it Is believed, tho amount stolen from tho bank, was found. In ad dition there was a memorandum in hand writing of Henry W. Hering, which tal lied closely with the memorandum of Paul O. Stensland's forgeries which ho left behind when ho fled from Chicago. One of the new forged notes was for $25,000. BURKE BLUNDERS AGAIN Plain Clothes Policeman Takes In nocent Woman to Station. Plain Clothes Police Officer Burke, who has figured prominently in several ex ploits which did not do him great credit as an officer and whose trial for "try ing to get even" with a citizen took place before the Executive Commission a few days ago, last night arrested Miss Marie Robertson and conducted her to the sta tion without a warrant and acting only on a hearsay rumor. Miss Robertson proved conclusively that she was not the person Burke was looking for. Officer Burke, who has been out of the uni formed rank only , a few months, and who already prides himself on being the best detective in the department, accord ing to his own statement, marched the woman Into Chief Grltzmacher's private office without allowing her a chance to see the Captain or communicate with friends. Totally Ignoring his superior officer. Captain Bailey, the energetic sleuth, kept Miss Robertson nearly a half hour at the station, not. permitting her to come out of the private office, where ho placed her and where he personally con ducted his interrogations. Not familiar with the regulations of tho police department. Miss Robertson accompanied Burke to the station to avoid notoriety, and when ordered to sit down in the Chief's private room could not make an attempt to spea'-t to the Captain. After some time she was per mitted by Burke, who assumed the role of the commanding officer of the sta tion, to communicate with Mrs. Cooper and thus prove her entire innocence. It is believed that tho whole matter will be placed before Chief Gritzmacher today and Burke's status in the station definitely established. News of St. Johns. Bids for St. Johns' new City Hall will be opened at 4 o'clock today, and at the session of the Council tonight the con tract will be awarded. This is the sec ond call for bids, as the previous one was declared void, owing to an error of publication. The bids must be within the specified amount of the bond issue, $10,000. Work will commence Immediately after awarding of the contract. Tonight the City Council will commence balloting to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mayor Fred W. Val entine.

At present it appears that Councilmen King and Nolen, ex-Councilman B. T. Leggett and D. C. Rogers are the most prominent in the race. Regreta Attack on TJrquhart. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10.
