Tremont Temple, the delegates being
called to order by Mrs. Stevens. The

It was vMed to send a cablegram of
appreciation of Iady Somerset.
Mrs. Ste ens announced that the rep
resentatives ot the V. O. T. U. in dif
ferent countries had presented to I-ady
3 lenry a b-.dl to be placed in the chapel
jit London, where she worships. A
cablegram from Lady Henry was read
regarding this as follows:
"Grateful, humble, loving thanks for
the nil vor-toned voice."
Vnion Gains in Other Lands.
The report of Mrs. Agnes Stack, hon
orary secretary of the World's W. C. T.
V., was presented. It showed that gains
had been made nearly everywhere in
number of members and. activity. The
greatest proportional gain has been made
in Sweden, where a membership of Ti'S
three years ago has been raised to lit'CS.
In India there are local unions, with
a total membership of ltd. Scientilie
temperance instruction has been intro
duced in t he schools. In South Africa,
where Miss Ptack spent several months
last year, many new unions have been
organized.
There are 1U!.' brandies in Great Brit
ain with a total membership of I09.uf3.
The licensing act passed by Parliament
in VMH has proved an obstacle in the way
of tho people by prevent ing them from
suppressing the liquor trade in their own
localities. Much work has been dune in
the way of establishing coffee houses and
temperance restaurants. There has been
a la rye increase in membership in lie
land. The work is proceeding slowly but
steadily in Germany. The W. C. T. V.
of that country sent a petition to the
War Department to discontinue the issu
ance of vino and rum to the troops in
South, Africa and received a favorable
reply. Tho department is now introducing
non-alcoholic fruit juices as rapidly as
possible in place ' of liquor, although It
js not yet ready to discontinue the use of
rum entirely.
Reading- of reports continued most of
tho afternoon.
Sell No Liquor to Iturbariuns.

Miss Anna A. Gordon, one of the hon
orary secretaries, was unanimously1

in .presenting to the. other nations a treaty

JUDGE UNDER DARK CLOUD
( hotlain. oT Chicago, May He Called
Before Grand Jury.
OHIO AGO. Oct. JS . (Special.) The Chi
cago Bar Association hat; practically de
termined to ask Spate's Attorney Healy
for) a grand jury investigation of the ease
of Judge Chetlain, whose conduct has
hen under review by the association for
sef-eral months.
J. K. Phelps, an a ttoi ney of Princeton.
111.1 today told how he had been induced
to make E. J. Zimmer, Judge Chetlain's
jninute clerk, receiver, in order to have
Tudso Chetlain sign a bill he presented to
WAR
the court. Agents of the association have
been vainly hunting for Zimmer for
weeks.
Others who are wanted are various
holders of notes given by Chetlain, whom
the latter is alleged to have released when,
they were before him on criminal
charges.
Judge Chetlain became involved in the
present inquiry through his indorsement
of the claims of a mining company in
which he was interested and which after
ward collapsed, with heavy loss to investors.
REBELS ONLY SMUGGLERS
Enforcement of Customs Law
Causes Dominican Revolt.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Smugelers are
the chief promoters of political dissension
in Santo Domingo, according to reports
received at the State Department, con
cerning the unsettled conditions in the
little republic, and the failure of revo
lutionary leaders to enter into an agree
ment to surrender and keep the peace.
Monte Chrifiti is the headquarters for
smugglers, and is the center from which
all recent revolutionary movements have
developed. It is located .near the Haytien
boundary, across which it has formerly
been the custom of merchants to smuggle
large quantities of goods. Laws of the
Dominican Republic have seldom been en
forced near Monte Chrisri until recently,
and that city has practically maintained
itself at the center of an independent
province.
Since the United States has undertaken
to collect the customs at Dominican ports
a strict enforcement of customs duties
has resulted, and smugglers have been
much annoyed by collectors stationed
along the boundary between Santo Do
mingo and Hayti. Several months ago
t woe ustoms employ es were killed by

CARNEGIE 1IKKO FUND MEDALS ARE OF SOLID GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE.
The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, endowed with $5,000,000 by Andrew Carnegie, the steel king, which haa been award
ing prizes and medals for almoet two yeare, will give out their first medals immediately. The actual medalM have just been completed
by a Philadelphia firm, almost two year's time having been consumed In completing the de-sign ani etamping them. The same
l'jrn will be used for the three different classes of medals, gold, silver and bronze. The meuals are three Inches in diameter,
and a third of an inch thick, and their value can be appreciated when it is understood that they are made of solid sold, silver
or bronze.
Mr. Carneple objected to any Greek or Latin emblem and personally selected the quotation which appears on the medals:
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for hie friends."

officers ancf smugglers has since been In
tense. iiy stirrinjr up political dissension and
promoting revolution, it is said, the smug
glers hope to overthrow the government
of Prepident Caceres, which is co-operating
with the American officials in collect
ing all duties on goods entering the repub
lic. Under another President, the smug
glers feel they might enjoy greater free
dom, and at any rate the confusion
caused by revolutionary movements en
ables them to continue their occupation.
BUNCO MEN ARE CAPTURED

FRESNO. Cal., Oct' 18. The two
bunco men who' relieved Farmer Deu
tra of $5000 have heen arrested near
Madeira. They had over $1500 In a

Dangerous Lunatic Kscapcs.
LOS AXGELKS, Cal., Oct. IS. Lucien
W. Perkins, who acquired notoriety in
this vicinity two years ago on account
of his sensational prosecution of Miss
Cora Otten, of Pasadena, daughter of a
wealthy Chicago manufacturer and who
was finally adjudged insane and sent to
The asylum at Highlands, escaped from
that institution today and is now at
lariie. He is considered dangerous.
Perkins formerly lived in Chicago and
cwned a bicycle store there. He annoyed
Miss Ott?n with persistent attention on
all occasions, haunting her home, and
one occasion being found concealed in her
room. He also wrote her obnoxious let
ters and was prosecuted for It. but es
caped punishment by being sent to the
asylum.
This evening Perkins, faultlessly dressed
and apparently rational, presented himself
ot the county hospital In the outskirts of
this city and asked to be locked up. He
pave no accojnt of his movements since
his escape. When he fled from the asy
lum at Tatton, Perkins was roughly
dressed.
Wants Account of Campaign Fiind.
CINCINNATI. Oct. IS. An accounting
for the sum of $170,102, alleged to be the
amount of the Republican campaign fund
last year in this city, was demanded in
a suit iilcil today by Louis H. Keutz. a
former city employe, who says he con
tributed $15 to the fund. The petition
asks for an accounting and for the dis
tribution among the contributors of
JUO.Oi'O believed to have been on hand
after the cambism expenses were paid.

St. Paul Road's Extension
May rtorce Action. ,
CHICAGO, Oct. 18. (Special.) Has the
management of the Chicago & North
western road determined to construct a
line to the Pacific Coast.- This question
was raised again today when the direc
tors and stockholders at their annual
meetings authorized an increase of J100,
000.000 in the capital stock of the com-
ft "V
pany, making the authorized issue $200,
000,000. At the close of the meeting President
Marvin Hughett gave out the news re
garding the authorized increase, but
added that it might be years before all
or even any of the stock was actually
issued. He also declared there was no
present purpose or plan by the company
for a coast extension, but it was discussed
informally, as it has been at several
directors' meetings, ari the opinion was
expressed that at some time the North
western might be obliged to extend to
the Pacific in self-defense, if for no other
reason. Railroad men generally believe
the North-Western will extend because
the St. Paul is doing so.
The following directors were re-elected
at today's meeting: Albert Keep, Chaun
fcy M. Depew, Samuel F. Barger, James
C. Fargo, Henry C. Frick and David P.
Kimball. Mr. Keep was formerly chair
man of the board. Today he was elected
a director to fill the position made vacant
by the death of Marshall Field.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18. J. T. Harahan,
second vice-president of the Illinois
Central and one of the directors who
yesterday signed a document in the
annual meeting of the road favoring H.
W. DeForcst, who was desired by E.
H. Harriman as director of the road,
today denied he was a Hyriman man.
The declaration was drawn from Mr.
Harahan by a query as to whether or
not it was true he had been promised
the presidency of the road if Mr. Fish
Is not re-elected.

LEWISTOX. Idaho, Oct. IS. (Spe
cial.) Another incident in the mysteri
ous movements of the rival railroads
now maneuvering in the Clearwater
country was brought to light today by
the discovery that a crew of surveyors
arrived in the city Tuesday and is
expected to take the field at once. The
supposition; is that the surveyors are
O. R. & N. men and that they have
been brought from the Puget SJtund

The recent movements in the railroad

once again and that this time it is war

Northern Pacific refused the O. R. & N.
the privilege of storing timber and
steel on its right of way near the
bridge now being built over the Clear

material for the bridge will have to be

Dale Cuts His Throat.
GREENWOOD, B. C. Oct. 18. (Special.)
Soon after J. A. Dale, who murdered
two men and shot a third at Carnie, was
arrested and locked up here yesterday,
he attempted to commit suicide by cut
ting his jugular vein with an old knife.
Physicians have small hopes of his re
covery. The danger from blood poisoning
is greater than from his wounds.
Jealousy was the main cause for the
double , murder. Dale alleges that his
wife smiled neighborly upon two men
and he decided to shoot thejn the first
chance he got.

Irrigation Project Work Should
Be Done by Contract.
SENATOR FULTON AROUSED
Will Fight Government Plan to
Carry Out Klamath and-Vma-tilla
Schemes on Its
Own Account.
Unless the Reclamation Service aban
dons its plan to undertake the construc
tion of the irrigation projects at Uma
tilla and Klamath Falls, instead of hav
ing the work done by contract. Senator
Fulton is of the opinion that Oregon
settlers will lose thousands of dollars.
Yesterday at the Imperial Hotel he de
clared that if the Government under
takes the work the settlers on the land
to be reclaimed will have to stand an
expense of several dollars an acre over
and above that which would be incurred
if the projects were carried out by con
tract. He believes that the commercial
organizations of the state should unite
and demand of the Government that the
work be done -by contracts let to the
lowest bidders. When he goes to Wash
ington next month he will use all his
influence to this end.
Senator Fulton says that it is a no
torious fact that the work done by the
Government is much more expensive
than when contracts are let. He de
clares that it has been proved that there
is a great difference in the cost under
the two systems and considers the mat
ter one of grave importance. He says

the needless waste of money by the
Government, if it does the work, will
fall on the settlers who have to pay
for the construction of the projects un
dertaken by the Reclamation Service.
He believes that the work should be
done at a minimum of expense and that
there should be no extra burden im
posed on the settlers who will buy the
land reclaimed. He does not try to
disguise or conceal his alarm and ap
prehension and hopes to arouse the peo
ple of Oregon to concerted action to
avoid extravagance by the Reclamation
Service.
Imposed Many Kestrictions.
Bids for the construction of the main
ditch of the Klamath project were re
cently advertised, but no tenders were
received. Conditions and restrictions
were placed on the contracts which.
Senator Fulton says, made it imprac
ticable for Individual contractors to un
dertake the work. Finding that the
contractors did not want it, the Rec
lamation Service decided to undertake
the work, and it is understood that ma
chinery is now being purchased for that
purpose.
Bids were requested on the Umatilla
project, but all those received were
thought to be too high by the Govern
ment engineers, who again thought it
advisable to undertake the work them
selves. "it is ot vital concern to the people
of Oregon that the work at Umatilla
and Klamath be done by contract," de
clared Senator Fulton yesterday. "For
the Government to undertake the work
is contrary to the best interests of the
people and I hope the Reclamation Ser
vice will reconsider and ask for new
bids. The people of the state do not
seem to realize the importance of the
work being done by private parties, and
my attention was first attracted to the
contemplated action of the Government
by news items which have appeared in
the newspapers.
Doubts Government's Authority.
"I do not hesitate to say that if the
Government does the work that the set
tlers will lose many dollars an acre.
Government work done by the Govern
ment is very expensive, very much more
so than when done by contract. I also
doubt the authority of the Reclamation
Service to cause the work to be done
in any other manner than by contract.

"The Government never moves as ex
peditiously as the private individual does.
The same enterprise is not shown. Irt
the first place, if the Government at-
tempts the work it will have to pur
chase a complete plant. When the work;
is completed the plant will be left on
the hands of the Government engineers,
who will have to dispose of it at a,
nominal price, so low, in fact, that tho
settlers will practically have to bear the
expense of the original outlay for tha
machinery. The private contractor cart
move his plant elsewhere.
"It is impossible for the Government
to do the work as quickly and as cheap
ly as the private contractor because of
the expensive plant that has to be pur
chased, conceding that the Reclamation
Service engineers can do the work aa
economically as the Individual. But it
is not true that the Government can do
the actual work as cheaply and as
quickly as can the contractor."
Senator Fulton leaves early next montli
for Washington, where he will appear
before the officials of the Reclamation
Service to attempt to have the work
placed upon a contract basis. Congress
does not convene until the first Monday
of November, but Senator Fulton will
attend a meeting of a joint committee
from the House and Senate to consider
the revision of the general laws of the
United States, which will meet before
Congress assembles.
