THE 3IORXTXG - OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 16, 1906. 3 FLOW FROM EAST California's Population Re ceives 14,000 in September. STATE VERY PROSPEROUS Problem of Handling the Money That Is Pouring Into San Francisco Has Been a . Very Serious One. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Oct. 15 (Spe cial.) The past month has seen a steady flow of population into California from the Eastern states. The figures of the railroads and the California Promotion committee state that 14,000 settlers have come here in that time. Many of these settlers have gone to the country dis tricts but a fair proportion have taken up their residence in San Francisco. It 19 believed that this is simply the vanguard of an army of immigrants who are coming to locate in California. This immigration, which was at flood tide early in the Spring, was checked by the April disaster and its resumption has been a source of gratification to those who have put forth their efforts to coun teract the effect of that disaster. Reports from the rural districts of the state are more encouraging than ever be fore In the history of . the state. The hop crop just harvested was the largest known by far. For labor in the hop fields two counties alone paid out $500,000. The grape crop now being harvested will eclipse all former records. The grain yields have been large and in all cases prices have been very satisfactory. The oil output has been unprecedented and the mines have sent a golden stream from the hills to the bay. Paying Off the Mortgages. The effect of all this has been a new prosperity which overshadows even that great plentltude which -'California was enjoying prior to the earthquake- Mort gages have been paid off In the rural dis tricts 'by the thousands until the land stands today more truly In the hands of the people than ever before. In addition, the farmers) throughout the state have Improved their homes, have made them selves and tTieir families comfortable as never before ana while enjoying the fruits of existence, rest serenely with the know ledge that a good balance stands to their credit in the bank. This prosperity in the rural districts cannot but have a deep effect upon the metropolis The country banks, over loaded with money, have poured their balances into San Francisco. The Insur ance payments have added to the sums In the local vaults until the problem of handling the coin has become a serious one. Plenty of Money to Lend. . Naturally a large percentage of tne heavy losers from the fire will be unable to reconstruct their business blocks with out financial aid. It stands to reason that these immense sums now tied up In vaults will be lent out to Just such men fr reconstruction. But the money is rolling in faster than it can be lent out. It is a situation which appears incred ible to an outsider. These statements are put down' In some tf the Eastern states as "California boom bubbles," but one has only to come to SUn Francisco to see for himself. The feituation has come about so rapidly and unexpectedly that many of the banks were unprepared for it and find them selves badly embarrassed by their riches. Eastern coin is also coming to the coast in increasing quantities and has aided in bringing about a financial condi tion of brilliant hue. Business men shake hands merrily on the street these days end agree that "nothing can 6top us now unless, of course, it be," and then whisper "another one." But that danger is so remote, and preparations to mimi mize its results have progressed so far that no real concern exists. Clearing Off the Streets. The work of clearing the streets Is soon to receive a new Impetus Thousands of laborers are to be added to the force and the dirt is to fly at double its present rate. The cfty authorities are giving this phase of the question added attention. The era of crime has been a heavy weight upon the city. The conditions of the city has been such as to make crime . easy, and a boss-ridden city has always been regarded as good territory by the criminal. These two influences have com bined to bring about a series of the most brutal crimes. .There has been a shake-up in the police department, the business men have held meetings, but the effectual remedy has not yet been found Public sentiment hns reached a high pitch, and there has been some talk of reviving the methods of the vigilance committee, but calmer counsel has pre vailed. However, there is a deep-rooted and determined sentiment which has been stirred and which will not rest until out lawry has been ended. At the same time that the movement against crime has taken shape there is a feeling that in ridding the city of footpads only the first steps win have been taken toward cleansing the city. A movement to put an end to the combined reign of Abe Ruef and the Southern Pacific has gradually assumed form. Many of the business men are inclined to ascribe the growth of crime to the lax morality in city affairs which has been allowed to take root under the dominance of Ruef. Open Charges of Gram. In this connection open accusations have been made tijis week from reputable sources that the United Railroads paid J700.000 for the trolley franchises which were granted to it following the fire. It has been openly stated that of this sum the city boss received $500,000 and that the remaining $.200,000 was divided among the Supervisors. These statements, made in the public prints by Herbert Choyinski. a local at torney, which he repeats day after day. meet with general denials on the part of Ruef and the supervisors. Nevertheless, there have been no suits for libel The facts that such charges can be made as they are ar.d fail to arouse the accused to determined action have had a disastrous effect upon the city. Every act of the supervisors is regarded with suspicion There Is no unity of action, and the city-s energies are scattered, where they should be concentrated. Hit Storekeeper With Ax. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 15 Soon af ter 2 o'clock this afternoon a man en tered the establishment of Nicholas Keohern. a business man at 3666 Twenty-sixth street, and while his attention was for a moment distracted, struck him over the head with an ax. inflict ing injuries that may prove fatal. The crime was discovered almost immedi ately, and a large crowd joined in the pursuit of George Multravers. who Is said to have committed the crime. Mul travers was caught and is now under going an examination by the police. Cleaning Streets of Debris. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 15. The task of thoroughly cleaning the streets and sidewalks of the city was commenced today under the direction of the Board of Public Works. Five hundred men were placed at work clearing debris on Market street near the ferry. Rubbish was thrown from the streets onto va cant private property, and the result was strenuous protests from numerous owners. Many building sites had been entirely freed of debris, and property owners particularly objected to hav ing basements that had been cleaned filled with bricks and iron again. Property-owners had been notified to clear the sidewalks and streets In front- of their promises, and those who had not done so were compelled to stand by and watch the workmen carry out their orders. In some places the labor ers worked under police guard. Saloonkeeper Shoots Policeman. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 15. Early this morning Lieutenant Tobin, of the Southern Police Station, was notified that Christian Golsth, who kept a gro cery and bar on the northwest corner of Folsom and Twenty-second streets, was selling liquor after closing hours. He went out there, and with Corporal Lane, whp was on duty in the vicinity, finding both' the front and side doors locked, demanded entrance, announc ing they were police. The answer was a shot, and Corporal Lane, who was stationed at the froit door, fell with a ball in his Jaw. An entrance was then effected and the pro prietor, who it is alleged fired the shot, four women and one man were arrested by Lieutenant Tobin. Golsth was charged with assault to murder, and the other prisoners are held pending- an investigation. Corporal Lane was taken to a hospital, where It was found that his wound, while serious. Is not likely to prove fatal. Stopped on Street by Thugs. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15. Tester day afternoon in the children's play ground in Golden Gate Park, when sev eral people were about the vicinity, two thugs stopped Igrl Katz, of 361 Turk street, and made a demand for money. Katz replied that he had no money to give, and was attacked by the men. He was resisting when some people approached the scene and the men fled. GUTS THE RATES III TWO SALEM IS AFTER CHEAPER LIGHT AND WATER. Ordinances Introduced In City Coun cil, It Is Expected, Will Be Fought In Courts. SALEM. Or., Oct. 15. (Special.) Regulation of rates charged for water and electric light is to be undertaken by the City of Salem. At tonight's ses sion of the City Council, a special com mittee reported two ordinances cover ing this subject, and the ordinances were put through two readings. Chair man F- G- Haas, of the committee, says that there are enough Councilmen pledged to the support of the measures to insure their passage. In general, the rates fixed by the or dinances are about cne-half of the amount now charged. It Is quite cer tain, therefore, that if the ordinances should be passed the public service corporations affected will test the va lidity of the ordinances in the courts. The city charter gives the Council power to fix maximum rates. The ques tion is whether the rates specified are reasonable. The ordinances contain lengthy lists or rates to be charged, but a general idea of the way they will affect consumers may be gathered from a few items. Water Four-room residence, 50 cents a month; five to eight rooms, 75c cents; bath, 15 cents per month; toilet. 15 cents per month; irrigation, four months for nine-tenths of a cent per front foot; meter. 18 cents per 1000 up to 25,000 gallons: Light One incandescent arc lamp, $1 per month, two lamps, $1.50; three lamps, $2; eight kilowatt hours. 50 cents per month; $ to 50 kilowatt hours, 6 cents per kilowatt hour. At these rates, 1200 candle-power street lamps would cost the city about $3 per month each, whereas they now cost $5.S4. The City council realizes that it has precipitated a fight with the water, and electric, companies, but the city em ploys an attorney by the year, and the Council figures that the cost of litiga tion will not be great, and if the city wins, a large saving to the people w-ill be effected. The committee will hold a public hearing at the City Hall Wednesday evening. This ordinance, if valid, will affect rates charged the state after the ex piration of present contracts. BIG CLAIM AGAINST HILL Great Northern Stockholder Alleges President Made Illegal Profit. NEW YORK. Oct. 15 An action against the Great Northern Railroad Company and J. J. Hill, wherein charges of misconduct are made against Mr. Hill as president and a director of the rail way company, and restitution in an amount said to exceed $10,000,000, Is asked, was begun by Clarence Venner today in the United States District Court. Venner. who claims to hold 300 shares of Great Northern stock., alleges that in 1901, President Hill wrongfully and il legally carried out a plan to purchase Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Railway stock in the open market at a price said to be a little over $:so per share, but which it is alleged becama the property of the Great Northern and the Union Pacific Railway. Jointly, at $200 per share. The amount paid Is alleged to have ex ceeded $35,000,000. and President Hill is charged with making a profit of over $10,000,000. The complainant asks that res titution be made to the stockholders of this money. Many Buy Hunters' Licenses. Hunters in Portland are thicker than revolutions in Cuba, and Deputy Countv Clerk Herman Schneider Is suffering from writer's cramp on account of hav ing been kept so busy issuing permits i tor men. women ana cniidren to shoot. Since the first of the year 3902 hunters' licenses have been issued in Multnomah County and the demand for them is still keen. These permits cost SI each to cit izens of Oregon and $10 to hunters from neighboring states. As a result of this provision Oregon has many new citizens every October when the China pheasant season opens. Of the many hundreds who took out licenses this year only six hunters declared that they were from states other than Oregon. The money collected from the sale of these licenses goes to the State Treasurer, where it is said to form a fund for the enforcement of the game laws. There are thousands of people who are of the opinion that this could be put to a better purpose thn it is The banner days in Schneider's depart ment were September 29. when 3?0 li censes were issued, and October 6, when 276 were sold.

WITH BLESSING OF PASTOR BERTHA KRUPP WEDDED IN COO'TRY CHAPEL. v - Nuptials Completed in Kaiser's Pres ence Munificent Gifts to Em ployes Signalize Event. ESSEN. Prussia, Oct. 15. In the pres ence of Emperor William and 140 guests, Frauleln Bertha Krupp and Lieutenant Gustav von Bohlen und Halbach were married today in a little improvised chapel adjoining the bride's birthplace. the Villa Huguel-Huegel. The ceremony was performed by the pastor of the neigh boring village of Krupp, where the bride has long worshiped. The Emperor sat with the family while the simple Lutheran marriage service was performed, and then stepped forward and congratulated the bride and bridegroom. The bride wore a Princess" robe and heavy ivory-tinted crepe de chine, with panels of point de Venice, and had a four yard train. The veil was of Brussels lace and tulle. The bride wore myrtle blos soms oii her head and had a few sprays of these flowers at her waist. Arthur Krupp. father of her cousin, gave away the bride, wno was attended by her sister, Barbara. Lieutenant von Bohlen's broth er acted as his best man. At the wedding breakfast, which was served at the conclusion of the ceremony, the Emperor drank the health of the bride. The couple afterward left by spe cial train for Krupp Castle, at Rheineck-on-the-Rhine. where the honeymoon will be passed. The bride's traveling dress was a severely simple gray cloth costume. The wedding guests included six fore men and 14 men from the Krupp works, but the workmen generally were not given a holiday in honor of the wedding. The Emperor, after the wedding, started for Bonn. The Emperor conferred upon the bride groom the right to use the name 'Krupp Von Bohlen und Halbach." Bertha Krupp and Lieutenant von Bohl en before the wedding announced their Joint gift of $:50,000 to the workmen's in valid fund, and Miss Krupp gave notice that she had donated another jjdo.uuo to the same fund and 125 acres of land on which to build economical model dwell ings for the workmen. The bridegroom accompanied his portion of the gifts by the assurance that he will perpetuate the present relations with the working people maintained by Alfred and Fredrich Krupp. While in no sense a beauty. Frauleln Krupp is described by those who know her as a healthy-looking and robust girl who does not differ in character or man ners from thousands of other carefully reared young German women In -affluent circumstances. The position which Miss Krupp holds in the social, industrial and political affairs of the German Empire is unique. Sixty-three thousand employes are on her pay-rolls. In Germany alone she has 560 mines, while a fleet of power ful steamships convey coal and iron to Hamburg from her mines in Spain. A score of stone quarries contribute to her wealth. She has shipyards at Kiel and gun and armor works at Magdeburg, be sides the giant steel and gun works at Fssen. whose estimated -alue is J75.000.000. Miss Krupp. who is 20 years old, has been reared with a simplicity that would compare strikingly with the complicated luxury of most American households of the moneyed classes. With her 18-year- old sister Barbara, she was brought up in the seclusion of their father's beautiful country place on the River Ruhr. This palace occupied 500 men for years to con struct, and is said to surpass in splendor many royal residences. Here the girls were educated by special tutors and gov ernesses, seldom visiting the City of Es sen, three miles distant, and never the in terior of the monster works where their colossal fortunes were being forged. . Dr. von Bohlen first met Miss Krupp in ..ome. where he was first secretary of the Prussian Legation at the Vatican. He is about 36 years old. studing at Lau sanne, Strasburg, Heidelberg, and entered the diplomatic service. Since his engage ment to Frauleln Krupp he resigned ffom the diplomatio service with the intention of taking an active part in the manage ment of the Krupp works. CASTRO'S DEATH AT HAND Will Be Signal for General Revolt in Venezuela. PORT OF SPAIN. Island of Trinidad, Oct. 15. According to the latest ad vices received here from Caracas. Vene zuela, the condition of President Cos tro, who has been ill for some' time past, has grown worse.. It is asserted Baron Gufttav von Bohlen und Hal bach. that he can no longer speak or move and his death may occur in a few days. In order to conceal the facts in the case, the newspapers of Caracas have been publishing reports of acts of clemency on the part of the President and texts or news or telegrams of con gratulation, purporting to have been received by him on his reported com plete restoration to health. In connection with the critical state of President Castro's health it is as serted that an uprising, which is likely to become general throughout Venezu ela, is certain to occur on the an nouncement of his death. The sisrnal for the outbreak will be given by the lnhablntants of the western states, who already are armed. The inhabitants of the rest of the interior of Venezuela are described as being undecided on account of their ignorance of the actual condition of the President. which is carefully concealed by those in constant attendance upon him. SEED SAVED FROM BONFIRE Part ol Congressional Gift Example of Wasted Money. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 14 The Congressional farce of free seed distribution received a beau tiful .illustration a few days ago on Long island, une or the farmers on the Island had received packages of the free seeds until the accumulation took up about all his storage space. He had on hand more than 10,000 such packages, and. having no use for them, for, being progressive and up-to-date, he planted only the latest ana most improved varieties of seed, he made a bonfire. He was having a very happy time of it. when one of his neigh bors happened along and asked what he was doing. Being informed that he was burning his supply of the Congressional free seeds, he askea why they were being ournea. "Because they are worthless," was the reply. "I will agree with you there," said the neighbor, "but they might be put to a good use. What will you tak for them?" He was told he could have all he could carry away for half a dollar. The money was paid and a bushel bag filled with the remaining packages. The purchaser happened to know that an anti-free seed crusade was on. and he at once realized that the seeds savea from the burning would make an excel lent object-lesson for Congress; so he took them to the headquarters of the anti asritators. and they will now be one of the exhibits before Congress. The s'eeds were not being destroyed because they were old or worm-eaten, as once was the case, but because newer and improved varieties could readily be had, and because thev were of the commonest varieties, many of them having been discarded) years ago by progressive seed dealers, and the only Place wpere tney are obtainable is the Department of Agriculture, which sends them out as "new, rare and valuable" seeds. To determine Just how "new" these seeds were, some seed dealers examined their catalogues, with interesting results. It was found that one variety of parsnip, two of lettuce, three of turnip, one of tomato, one of onion and two of radish seed haa been catalogued by a New York firm in 1S79. One lettuce, one tomato and one muskmelon came into use in 1884. Five other varieties of lettuce were in troduced between 1S75 and 1890. The new est variety of seed was an onion intro duced by a Philadelphia firm in 1S99, while the oldest was traced back 30 years, and no one knows when it was first presented. In view of these facts, which will be presented to Congress. It is scarcely pos sible that Congress will continue the fic tion that it is sending out "new, rare and valuable" seed, even if it continues the distribution in the face of the ridicule heaped upon it by the daily and agricul tural press and the condemnation ex Dressed by the farmers and their organ izations. Testing American Armor-Plate. NEW TORK, Oct. 15. Italian naval au thorities are testing American armor plate with a view to its extensive use in the construction of battleships and cruis ers.

SURV(V0RS "MAY NOT LIVE Wingate Mine In England Wrecked and Eighty T7n conscious Brought CpFood Sent to Subter ' ranean Tomb. DURHAM. England, Oct. 15. As a re sult of an explosion at Wingate colliery, near here, at about midnight last night, 25 miners were killed and 200 are tempo rarily entombed. It is fortunate that only a small portion of the 1000 men employed in the mine were down when the explo sion took place. The cause is supposed to have been firedamp. The explosion was of terrific force, and In Wingate town many windows were broken. Before daylight signals had been ex changed with the bottom seam, .where a majority of the men were entombed, to the effect that they were safe, and with this message came a sense of great relief. As the morning advanced, the bodies of the dead men were slowly brought up. The first dead to appear were mostly old men, who had been employed as shifters and stonemen. Eighty men were brought out alive. Many of these, however, were in a critical condition, bing unconscious. Later, supplies of coffee and sandwiches were provided to those still entombed. At a late hour tonight, to -the Joy of their relatives, four men were brought up from the lower seam, where eight deaths had occurred. These men had been reck oned among the dead. Although they were much exhausted, they probably will re cover. . 1 The shaft is still blocked with wreck age, but the ventilation is good, and it is hoped that all the entombed men will be reached during the night. LAW CREATES MONOPOLY First Protest Against Meat Inspec tion Relates to Veal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. Secretary Wil son and other officials of the Depart ment of Agriculture today heard a dele gation of Chicago commission merchants, headed by Representative Mann, who pro tested against the manner jn which the meat inspection law is being enforced as to carcasses of calves and lambs shipped to Chicago from various Western and Northwestern states. They said that the construction put on the law by the carrying companies has absolutely cut off all shipments of 6ar casses from outside of Illinois and is forcing the farmers and shippers to send their animals alive to the stockyards, having the benefit of Federal inspection, thereby, they alleged, giving a monopoly of the meat business to a few persons. Steps will be taken by the Agricultural Department to remedy the injustices complained of. MAY SEXD TROOPS AFTER UTES Roving Indians Drink, Steal and Terrorize Wyoming Town. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 15. Gov ernor Brooks, of Wyoming, has been practically notified by Secretary Hitch cock that he can secure the assistance of the United States troops in the matter of the renegade Ute Indians, whose home is in Utah, if he so desires. About 300 of the Indians are encampea near the town - of Gillette, in the northwestern corner of the state, and the Governor has notified the Secretary that they are drinking, insulting the people and steal ing. He added that yesterday they defied the local police officers, and he suggested that "serious trouble is certain unless prompt action is taken." Replying, the Secretary asked: "Do you request the Government to send United States troops into Wyoming to preserve order and arrest and remove - the In dians?" Mr. Hitchcock afterward informed the Associated Press that, if such request should be made, the necessary troofs would be supplied. Silver Advances to 70.13. WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.
