The closing session of the Independence League Convention tonight began with a tre mendous uproar, started by the bring ing In of an immense portrait of W. R. Hearst, president of the league and the man seriously mentioned as its candi date for Governor. The roar of cheers, tooting of horns, ringing of bells and a thousand forms of noise drowned the music of the band. From 8 o'clock until the hour that it actually convened there was continuous demonstration. The au ditorium was packed to its utmost ca pacity from floor to ceiling and prac tically every person waved a flag. Refuse to Await Democrats. The convention was called to order precisely at o'clock by Judge Samuel beabury, the permanent chairman. Clar ence Shearn presented the report of the committee on resolutions, covering first the reply of the league to the memo rial of Norman E. Mack, V. J. Conners and other elected delegates to the Dem ocratic State Convention, which re quested the league to postpone nomina tions until after that convention. The report said that the convention "deemed It inadvisable to postpone the Important business which it has assem bled to carry out," and then recom mended the ticket headed by Mr. Hearst. Mr. Chanler, nominated for Lieutenant-Governor, is a brother of e-Con-gressinar, William Astor Chanler. He Is a son of the late Congressman John W'inthrop Chanler and a great-grand-Bon of the original John Jacob Astor. Mr. Wnalen, for Secretary of State, la a National organizer of the Tobacco workers Industrial Union. He is the first past grand knight of the Knights of Columbus of the State of New York. Tumult Greets Hearst. The report as read was adopted, and .a committee conducted Mr. Hearst to the platform amid most tumultuous scenes. After the cheering had gone on for half an hour Mr. Hearst himself tried to stay the tumult with out stretched arms. He was finally success ful. He then spoke briefly, saying: "I am honored to have been nominat ed by this convention. I am proud to run on this platform. I am devoted, 'heart and soul, to the principles ex pressed In every line of It." When Mr. Hearst concluded, the con vention Immediately adjourned. , GREAT HOWL AGAIXST FUSIOX All Hearst's Followers Wanted Nom inations Leaders Mere Puppets. NEW YORK, Sept. 12. (Special.) The pitiful failure of the Albany conference, called foi the avowed purpose of "saving the Democratic party," has cast a gloom over the friends of William Travers Je rome, and they frankly admit that they do not know exactly where they are at. "I never saw such a unanimous lack of enthusiasm in my life." said an up state leader who had attended it. The object of the "conference" was to unite the up-state Democrats in opposi tion to the Hearst movement. The fatal defect was that there are no up-state Democrats to ignite." During the Sum mer months the Hearst men have been busy in the political vineyard gleaning delegates, and there are very few left to be converted. Four members of the state committee were in attendance and loudly demanded that the party be purified. It is an in teresting fact that all of these men have lost thilr districts to Hearst's followers, and will be stripped of their political peacock feathers in a few days. Hence their anxiety to have Hearst headed oft without delay. It was the Intention of the Independ' ence League to only name candidates for Governor . and Lieutenant-Governor and leave the rest of the ticket in the hands of a committee "with power." The idea of this, of course, was to be In a 08itlon to Indorse the Democratic state ticket. If the delegates to the Buf. falo convention should declcle that they do hot care to be saved. But the scheme created a great uproar in the Hearst camp, and the leader and his various con fident managers took to the political woods. I Last year the Hearst men had to go out with guns to get men to accept places on their ticket. This year the aspirants carry the guns, and they bit terly object to any defrt with the Demo crats because It would mean that they (the aspirants) would be debarred! from the Joy of office-seeking. Here are the views of Martin Maione, leader of an Assembly district, and they are typical of the conditions that 'exist all over Greater New York: "Last year I had to run around with tears in my eyes to get men to run for the Assembly and Board of Aldermen. told them It would not cost them a cent. and that victory was a cinch, and, much to my surprise, I told the truth. Wrhen I finally landed my candidates the big bosses told me I was a wonder, and sent me out to get an easy mark to run for Municipal Court Judge. "I finally landed a cheap lawyer, who said he thought the advertising would be good for him. And he won! Six thousand a year for ten years and it didn't cost him a cent. My Alderman and Assemblyman got more votes than that polled by the Democrats and Republicans together. "What's the result this year? Twenty- nine men are out for the Assembly, IS want to go to the State Senator, and three shyster lawyers whom I wouldn't trust to defend a yellow dog, think it Is the Supreme Court for theirs. "If we Indorse the Democratic ticket, all this bunch and their friends will become Democrats to get revenge. I can hold them all rlgnt if some of them land, but they don't want to see the regular organization get the plums when we did all the hard work last November." Jerome boomers have been gathering a lot of Information about the conduct of the Independence League, which they in tend to scatter broadcast to prove that the League is more "boss-ridden than either of the old parties. They are already telling the story of the situation in a Brooklyn district, where a certain man, who had no following, was arbitrarily made leader by the- voice of the Gllsey House managers. ' A week later he was discovered In a saloon near the Brooklyn City Hall", sadly drinking a glass of beer all by himself. "How does it seem to be a district lead er?" askeo. a friend,, who happened to spy him there. "I don't know," was the doleful reply. "I ain't a leader any more; Ihmsen says I didn't make good and he fired me. Billy Jasper"s got the Job now. Ihmsen says he's a hustler and I'm an Idiot." Thus are leaders of the "people" made and unmade. The leader of a district in Manhattan went to the Gllsey House the other day full of patriotic zeal. He enthusiastically greeted Manager Ihmsen and got to the point without delay. "The people of my district demand that I be sent to the State Senate," h said. "Where have you been for the last few days 7" was the reply. "Out of town on a vacation? I thought so. We didn't know where you were and another man Is on the Job. Maybe we will send him to the State Senate and maybe not. But the only place you are going is home." And he went. Now he is screaming for Jerome. TTJIiX DOWN CORPORATIOX MEN Colorado Democrats Decide Contests After Bitter Convention Fight. DENVER, Sept. 12. The first order of business before the Democratic state convention upon reconvening to day was the majority report of the committee on credentials, unseating the delegation from Denver County headed by Mayor Robert W. Speer and composed of supporters of the city ad ministration, and recommending the admission of the contesting delegation chosen by supporters of United States Senators Patterson and Teller and other Democrats opposed to corporation domination. The Denver contest has overshadowed the contest for ofTices, and has precipitated a bitter struggle In the convention. The Lake County (Leadvllle) contest received attention first, and the com mittee's report in favor of the Owers Patterson delegation was adopted. The El Paso County contest was next considered. After discussion, the delegation headed by James F. Burns, the millionaire mining man, was ex cluded, and the Doyle delegation was seated. The convention adjourned until 1:30 P. M., after voting to give each of the Denver contesting delegations two hours fqr debate this afternoon. The convention at the night session made the temporary organization per manent and adopted the report of the citizens' committee. After the adop tion of a platform the convention ad journed until tomorrow. CLAIMS MORAL VICTORY AVON Gompers Gratified at the Maine Vote and Will Continue Fight. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. President Samuel Gompers of the American Federa tion of Labor tonight gave the Associated Press the following statement concerning the result of the Maine election, particu larly the result In the second district, in which Representative Littlefteld was re elected by a reduced majority: I look upon the result of the election In the Second DIMrlct of Maine as a great moral victory, not only for labor, but for the people generally. Of course it would have pleased me more had Mr. Llttlefleld been defeated. Considering the fact that Maine Is regarded i a rockbound Republican stronrhold. the cutting of Mr. Llttlefleld's majority of 6S32 over his opponent In 1904 to between 700 and 800 now Lb cause for great gratification. It shows that the people have It in their power to compel decent and fair treatment at the hands of those who eeek their votes. Ve shall continue the labor camDalrn for Justice and right, for we feel very much en courared at this first appeal we have made to the conscience, sympathy and support of the American people.

TD GET OF TRADE E W. A. Mears Says Prospects for Part of Hawaiian Bus iness Are Good. ISLANDERS TO CO-OPERATE Merchant After Thorough Investi gation Finds Conditions Ripe for Entry of Local Jobbers Into New Field. HONOLULU. H. T., Sept. 3. (To the Editor.) After a sojourn of about three weeks I. sail for the States today on the Siberia. I have taken no time for my own amusement, but have, I think, ex amined into the trade situation here quite thoroughly. Besides addressing one meet ing at Hllo, on the Island of Hawali I have addressed three meetings of busi ness men and' shfppers here, and also a gathering of the principal business men at a banquet given by tne Merchants' As sociation. Of all these meetings you have undoubtedly been apprised by your Ha waiian Island exchanges. In addition to this, I have called upon and had exhaustive talks with practically every firm that would be likely to import goods, both In Honolulu and Hilo. As I wrote in my last, the sugar indus try overshadows every other Industry. I have visited two of the largest sugar plantations the Ewa (pronounced Eva) and the Honolulu, one of 7500 acres and the other 6500 acres. I believe there is no place in the world that has reduced the cultivation and pro duction of suerar down to as fine a scien tific basis as here. Of course, everything is done on an immense scale. The Ewa pumps daily for its Irrigation purposes 75,000,000 gallons of water. It has in op eration over Its own land a narrow-gauge railroad of 40 miles length. Its cultiva tors, drawn by steam traction engines, are of Immense size and number. The statistics regarding the Honolulu planta tion show only slightly Bmaller figures. The sugar houses of tne various planta tions bring the grade of the raw article to 96 degrees polarization. The very small amount of residuum in the shape of mo lasses Is used for fertilizer, while the offal (cane) is used for fuel. Big Interests Work Together. One can imagine that it takes immense capital, great executive ability and care ful management in every way to operate such a plantation successfully. And when you are aware that all the sugar factors are practically united as to a plan of action regarding mercantile affairs, one can see what a power they wield. Their purchasing agents for all supplies are the three or four great jobbing concerns of the islands. These concerns have for years had purchslng and selling- agents In oan F rancisco. Portland has never been considered as a market, simply because Portland has not seen fit to let these people know she Is a market. It has been my duty and my pleasure to acquaint them generally and individually with. Portland's capabil ity and ability to handle her due share of the trade here. You will note from my former letter and what I have written above, that there are two distinct classes of trade here the great Jobbing houses which control most of the plantation sup piles, and the smaller Jobbers and the re tailers which supplv the other consumers. The first requisite to approaching any foreign trade Is, of course, transportation facilities. Without steamships sailing di rect between Portland and the ports of the Islands, what little trade is obtained must be done, as It has always heretofore been done, second-handed, via San Fran cisco, unless we have our own Htra. un This first step was taken when through the efforts of our merchants and the Chamber of Commerce the Matson line was induced to make a trial trip. The Hilonian has just arrived with five times as much cargo' and many more passen gers than on her first trip, and her cap tain informs me much more cargo could have been obtained had our millers had longer notice and been better prepared to furnish feed. This, however, is only an Incident which will be corrected as soon as things get cunning more smooth ly and we know what is wanted. The second step was to get the great Jobbing houses here to have purchasing and sell ing agents In Portland. One of these great firms has seen the wisdom of this step, has foreseen that the Northwestern coast cities will In the near future more evenly divide with San Francisco, and has established a purchasing office In Seattle. Seattle was chosen, as It hap pened that this firm is the agent here of the American-Hawaiian Steamshin Company and desires to ship by that line, and when the office was established the ships of that line did not call at Portland. Portland Will Have Equal Chance. As they lately have been calllne there. .and as Portland Is a primary market on many more articles than the Sound, and further because the purchasing agent Is a former resident of Portland. I have no fear that Seattle or Tacoma will be most favored. The action taken by this great firm cannot but Influence the other large Jobbing houses. I have carefully shown each of them the advantages Portland has to offer, have as strongly as possi PORTLAND SHAR BRIDE GROWS COLD WHEN SHE LEARNS HER HUSBAND IS BALD Tony Arnaud's Toupee Shatters Dream of Wedded Bliss and Wife Seeks k Divorce. v WHEN Rose Zoule left Tony Ar naud after 36 hours' matrimonial experience, Tony shed tears. Rose is a beautiful woman. She danced In the "Streets of Cairo" show at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Arnaud is proprietor of two saloons In Portland the Thetis and the Alert. He has lived in Portland for 25 years, and has followed various occupations. He was a restaurant man, once worked for Inman, Poulsen & Co., and for ten years past has dispensed liquid refreshments In the red-light district. Tony Arnaud is no longer young. He wears a toupee, and when he courted and won the favor of the fair Rose he con cealed the bare pate. The night of the wedding there was a charivari and con gratulations of friends, and now Mrs. Arnaud wants a divorce and a share of Tony's worldly possessions. The case was tried In Judge Cleland's court yes terday and was taken under advisement. Arnaud testified that on .the night of the wedding he removed the toupee and his wife for the first time ascertained the baldness and asked him If she had mar ried a monkev. She was cold and refused to accept him as her husband. When she left she demanded money, and he gave her 1100 and obtained a written contract ble put the case before them, and feel confident that within the very near fu ture they too will be glad to have a resident purchasing agent in Portland. And now as to the other classes of trade. There Is no doubt at all as to where they stand. To a man they are anxious to open up new buying and sell ing markets. I am stopped on the street ten times a day and asked in a manner showing as much Interest as I have tn it as to what progress I am making, what enoeuragement I am receiving, what prospect there is of permanent transportation facilities. To sum up, then, there Is plenty of trade here. A new competitive market Is welcomed. It Is appreciated that the Matson line must be patronized, man aged and kept running, and all our job bers and manufacturers have to do Is to earnestly geek the trade keep after it steadily, carefully post each buyer here as to the exact condition of the markets by every steamer (mail) leaving San Francisco, Seattle or Portland; sending solicitors in some branches of the trade, giving good close prices, being careful of the grades of goods supplied after seek ing and getting the trade, fostering it carefully and keeping it. Sept. 4, 1906. I have J"t had a con versation with Captain Burnham, man ager of the American-Hawaiian Steam ship Company, who has Just arrived from New York. He Is on an inspection trip preparatory to arranging new sailing routes and schedules for the steamers of that line. This is made necessary on account of the near completion of the Tehuantepec Railroad .across the isthmus. It Is supposed the line will be completed and traffic inaugurated by January 1, 1907. The west coast terminal will be Salinas Cruz. The steamships will operate from New York to the eastern terminus (five ships), and from Salinas Cruz to North American ports and these islands (seven ships). As we have' already a line established to the Islands, It was not my province to ask for the establishment of another line. Still Captain Burnham gave me to understand that It was not improbable that his line would make regular sail ings in the' near future. Captain Burn ham has visited Portland and knows well all the physical questions entering into navigation problems as applicable to our port, and I can say truthfully Is not unfavorably impressed. In closing I will say that with my present knowledge of trade conditions here, with the capabilities of the Jobbers and manufacturers of Portland to handle the trade and with its present trans portation facilities and those .which will naturally follow, I am not afraid to pre dict that from now on Portland will di vide with San Francisco and Seattle a fair share of both the importing and ex porting trade of the Islands.

Rain began to fall today in the Spokane coun try and continued all afternoon, putting a stop to harvesting and threshing of all kinds. There Is a great deal of wheat In the fields, in the sacks and uncovered, about Ritzville, and should rain continue damage would result. If warm weather follows. There is a quantity of wheat to thresh, but most all harvesting is done In Whitman County. Two weeks' time Is needed to finish harvesting. Continued rains would mean great damage to wheat in the stack and In the shock. The same conditions are true -of the Potlatch and on the Nez Perces prairies. Rain will Interfere some with the thresh ing of wheat about Prosser, Wash., but probably do little or no damage, prac tically all the wheat In Horse Heaven and Rattlesnake being cut. PULAJANES KILL TWO MEN Thirteenth Infantry Suffers Loss of Machine Guns in Pursuit. MANILA, Sept. 12. A column of tha Thirteenth Infantry under Captain Fas sett was fired upon at La Paz, Island of Leyte. by Pulajanes on the night of September 10. Corporal D.. H. Pierce, of Company A, and Private A. E. Wine gardner, of Company B, were killed. A battalion of the Thirteenth Infantry was camped at La Paz. The Pulajanes fired and then ran, pursuing the same tactics used by the lnsurrectos. Machine gun detachments are on the way to Leyte. RETURNS SEALED VERDICT (Continued From Page 1.) three were not put on trial for the rea son that Mitchell Is dead, while a stipu lation was filed last April between Mr. Heney and the attorneys for Hermann whereby it wn agreed that the ex-Cora-ralssioner should be tried In Washington on a charge of destroying 36 letter-press copy books of the General Land Office before facing a Jury in this state. Wil liamson has already been convicted on a separate charge of conspiracy, and the policy of the Government prosecutor has been to permit such punishment to ex ercise a deterrent effect rather than to Insist upon the trial of other Indictments against the same persons. The defendants In the case Just tried are all preminent citizens of this city. F. P. Mays having been a State Senator at the last Legislature, and was formerly United States District Attorney for Ore gon. He is a member of the firm of Carey & Mays, and has been identified with the social and political Interests of this state for a great many years. ' Wlllard N. Jones was likewise a member of the last Legislature, having been elect ed to the lower House from Multnomah County. He has operated In timber lands or tnis state ror some time, and is reputed to be quite well oft financially. George Sorenson Is one of the best known men around town, n n H fnt- num ber of years has been engaged in the real estate business, besides being a Notary icicduo oi an aemanas. which was prepared Dy v. K. Strode, an attorney. Mr. Arnaud also told the court that Mrs. Arnaud. through Lawyers Gatens and Sweek, sought to obtain a settlement amounting to 1000 from him. He related that he bought clothing for her before marriage and took her dia monds out of "soak." When she desert ed him she went to Spokane and engaged m me Dox-rustung Duslness. "She telephoned a kiss." testified Tnnv "and also said she was sick and wanted crawfish. I sent word to her that craw- nsn were hard to get In Portland at that time, and mailed her 5." The burden of Mrs. Arnaud's complaint was that she left the defendant because he requested her to lead an immoral life. He denied the accusation. M. Apach, a grocer, and his wife, who have known the plaintiff for a long time, testified that before she was married to Arnaud they directed her attention to his line of business and told her If her face was clean to shun him. They hinted strongly tnat tltey learned that she was a woman of the world and not a child of nature. John F. Logan and James Gleason de fended Arnaud as attorneys, and Jerry Bronaugh defended the honor of the wife. FOR COREY'S BRIDE Magnificent Trousseau Being Made Up in Paris. MABEL GILMAN IN CITY Gowns Include a White Satin Wed ding Dress, Profusely Embroid ered With Orange Blossoms, and Costing $1600. PARIS. Sept. 12. (Special.) Several piles of elaborate gowns in a shop In Rue de Lapax are being shown to visiting cus tomers as a portion of the trouseau of the "future Mme. Corey." They include mag nificent white satin wedding dress, pro fusely embroidered with orange blossoms, which cost 8C00 francs ($1600), and also a number of empire evening gowns. The dressmakers will not say that this Is Mabel Gllman's trousseau, but she Is in Paris at present, and naturally is buy ing clothes. People here, who pretend to know her, say she Is to marry William E. Corey in a few weeks. The bills for the trousseau described, however, make the name "Mme", Corey. MODEST IN HER TROCSSEAC Wealthiest German Girl's Outfit Costs but $250. BERLIN, Sept. 12. Special.) The mo desty of the wedding trousseau of Miss Bertha Krupp, the richest heiress of Germany, is being contrasted by news papers with the display American heir esses make at their weddings. Miss Krupp's whole outfit, it Is stated, will cost only J250. Every Man fay Swim by Motor. PARIS, Sept. 12. The French In ventor who devised the motor boots has now conceived an adaptation of. the petrol motor for supplying the human body with mechanical power for pro pulsion in the water. Every man may thuo become his own motor-boat. In order to use the device a person need not be a swimmer, for In addi tion to its propulsive powers the ap paratus is devised to keep the body afloat. A water-tight box, containing a little petrol engine and a fuel supply, is strapped to the user's back. Other parts of the apparatus comprise a sad dle like a ram. on which the user sits; air bags to give the necessary buoy ancy, nnd a propeller which Is oper ated by the engine. Two rods give con trol of the speed, while steering is accomplished by altering the position of the hands. The inventor thinks that the chief use of the apparatus will be In life leaving, for In an emergency the oper ator has only to start tne motor Dy turning a little crank, sling the box on bis back, get into the saddle and launch himself in the water. War In Kamchatka Fisheries. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12. Though peace has been declared between the two countries, the Russian and Japanese fish ermen are still warring over the fisheries on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The schoon er ora Druhm, which arrived here yes terday from Okhtosk, where see has been on a codflshlng cruise, brought the news of a battle which resulted in the repulse of the Japanese. They had established a station on the River Ozernaya when the Russians discovered their presence on the peninsula. Gathering a large force, they made an assault on the Japanese force, who succeeded in making their escape in one of the schooners. They were unable to get one schooner away in time, and It fell Into the hands of the Russians. Tube Trust in Great Britain. GLASGOW, Sept. 12. It Is announced that a combination of Scotch and Eng lish tube manufacturers to regulate . the home and export business has been formed with a view to abolishing the present keen competition. The industry has suffered incalculably since the pre vious agreement between the firms In this line was cancelled 18 months ago. It Is understood that the new combine is wider In its scope than the old. taking in all the firms In the United Kingdom except one Clydeslde concern. It is stated that the American .producers are supporting the combine. It is expected that an ad vance in prices will soon be announced, as It is believed the agreement carries perrrtanency with it.

Albrecht is the richest Prince in, Ger many. In addition to the possession of Whose Say-so is Best? With nearly all medicines put up for Bale through druggists, one has to take the maker's say-so alone as to their cura tive value. Of course, such testimony I not that of a disinterested party ana accordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written from disinterested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, how ever, form a single and therefore striking exception, to this rale. Their claims to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their makers' say-so or praise. Their Ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid sufferers are taken Into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes In praise of the curative valne of the several ingredients entering into these well-known medicines. Amonfrt these writers we find such med ical lights as Prof- Flnley EUlnrwood. M. D, of Beanet Medical College, Chicago; Prof. Hale, of the same city; Prof. John M. Srud der. M.
