First Victory for Senator

OREGONIAN NEWS BUR K At", Wash
ington. March 20. President Roose
velt today turned down Judge J. K.
Allshie, Senator Heyburn's candidate
for Federal Judge in Idaho to suc
ceed Judge Heatty, and appointed
Frank S. Dietrich, of Pocatello, who
was endorsed by Senator Borah.
Idaho's Junior Senator thereby wins a
signal victory over his colleague, and
demonstrates at the outset of his
career that the President places the
utmost reliance in his judgment-
Notwithstanding statements re
peatedly made by Mr. Heyburn, it is
learned on the highest authority that
he made a stubborn fight for Judge
Allshie. and no longer ago than yes
terday urged the President to give
him this position. Mr. Heyburn an
nounced early in the contest that the
President had promised to allow him
to name Judge Boatty's successor and
he believed till the last that he would
win out over Mr. Borah. When Mr.
Borah was hen Mr. Heyburn assured
him in the presence of witnesses that
he would make no recommendation
until he consulted Mr. Borah, but the
very next morning he straightway
went to the President and verbally
reeommended Judge Ailshie's appoint
ment. Judge TMetrirh was chosen because
the President believed him to be the
best equipped man among numerous
candidates. The charges against
Judge Ailshie which Mr. Heyburn in
a recent statement declared 'were
inconsequential, both by the Presi
dent and Attorney-General, proved to
be regarded most seriously by the
administration and were largely ac
countable for. Judge Ailshie's defeat.
Judge Beatty will continue holding
court through March, and Judge
Tdfctrlnh will relieve him as soon as
he qualifies eary in April.

Hoyt. representing the
Attorney-General, will submit to the
Supreme Court a motion to advance
the appeal of ex-Representative Wil
liamson in the hope that the ea.se can
be trld this session and before ad

tion, which he has prepared to submit
to the court, Mr. Hoyt briefly reviews
the progress of the Williamson trial
from its inception to and Including the
action of the Circuit Court of Appeals
on March 11, and then states that his
motion to advanc e is based on. the fol
lowing reasons:
First, tills is a criminal case: sec

to he Involvel: third, it is a case of
public importance involving the ques
tion whether the Immunity from arrest
granted to Senators and members of

Father- J mi i per o walked all the way from
Mexico City to San Diego, lame as he
was, believing work founded on such suf
fering would surely endure. There are
23 missions in all. making a chain a day's
journey apart from San Francisco to
the Mexican boundary line. Around these
spread farms and vineyards, where the
Indians were taught the arts of civiliza
tion, as well as the articles of faith.
Within their hospitable walls guests and
weary travelers found a welcome as
hearty and an entertainment as good as
any offered by an Oid-World hospice.
Little Church Around Corner.
St. Mark's, New York, stands on the
site of a chapel built by Peter Stuyve
sant. the last of the Dutch Governors.
The Church of the Transfiguration, dear
to the world of player-folk as "the IJt
tle Church Around the Corner," Is a low
Gothic building in a quiet lot just off
f mn avenue, on Twenty-ninth street, and
is reached by a lych-gate that opens in
a court shaded with great trees. Many
years ago Joseph Jefferson went to the
pastor of a famous Madison-avenue
church and asked his services for the
funeral of George Holland, the veteran
actor, who had just died. The haughty
clergyman refused, but suggested that
they might be accommodated at "the
little church around the corner." To this
church Jefferson went, the rector offi
ciated at ' the funeral, and since then
the weddings and baptisms and funerals
of the people of stageland are considered
best when held at this quaint and demo
cratic church.
Oldest Washington Churches.
Washington, D. C. is rich in historic
churches, or those In which the great
people of the Nation have gathered. The
oldest one near the city is known as
St. Paul's, of Rock Creek Parish. It was
built in 1719 of brick brought from Eng
land, and the old walls are still retained
by the proud worshippers, though It was
remodeled 40 years ago. Very old graves
are there, and one of the old headstones
is pitted with thinie balls. Christ Church,
near the Navy-Yard, is the next oldest,
having been built In 1795. five years be
fore the Government took possession of
the National Capital. Presidents JefferT
son and Madison attended services tnere.
and pew No. 1 was given President Mon
roe when he came into effice. He and
his family are said to have attended
morning service almost every Sunday.
The Congressional burial ground adjoins
this, and here He -many men who have
been prominent in the legislative and ex
ecutive affairs of the Nation.
Old South Church, Boston.
Old South church. Boston, was built in
1670 and the present editlce in 17J9. It
was from thta building that the men
marched out to that fatal meeting with
the British known as the Boston mas
sacre. It was the Governor's church for
awhile and enjoys the reputation of
having been so sternly ruled that the
wives and daughters of the founders were
not admitted to membership for five
years. It was desecrated by the British
in 1776-6, the pews being taken out to
make a pig-sty and Burgoyne's men
turning the body of the building into a
riding school.
The first church In St. Mark's parish
in Virginia was built and equipped by
General Sir Alexander Spottswood. Gov
ernor of Virginia and founder of the only
American order of knighthood. "the
Knights of the Golden Horse-shoe." It
was built chiefly for the use of the
colonv of German miners and ironwork
ers which settled at the village of Ger
mans. To Governor Spottswood belongs
the honor of building and operating the
first iron furnace in America, the work
men having been secured for him by
Queen' Anne at the request of Baron
de Graffenried. who had visited Spotts
wood on his way from Georgia to Eng
land after the Indians had made it too
warm for him. Colonel Byrd. of West
over, makes mention of the church and
the "castle" of the Governor. In his
writings he also tells of the wonderful
pier-glass mirrors that His Excellency's
wife had brought from Kngland at great
expense, and how one of these was broken
by a pet deer, which wandered into the
drawing-room and was moved to fight
his own reflection.

In Dorchester County, Maryland, is one
of the many early churches built of brick

Queen Anne gave the Bible and books to
the church, and these are still preserved,
as is also a cushion said to have been
used by her majesty at her coronation.
"Old Green Hill Church" (St. Bartholo

having been built In 1733. It has the dis

St. Mary's County, was built In 1694 and
shortly before the war had a membership
of slaves so great that the black com
municants were four times as many as
the white. This church is said to have

SKXD ARMY AGAINST REBELS
Rouniania Takes Vigorous Measures.
Premier Promises Suppression.
BUCHAREST, March 30. Brigadier
General Tell, commanding , the Eighth Di
vision at Betoshani. was today placed in
command of the Fourth Army Corps,
with full powers to suppress the agrar
ian revolt. Several regiments have been
ordered to Jassy from Bucharest and
other places to reinforce the troops under
General Tell's command.
The long standing agrarian grievances
of the peasants of Roumania against the
absentee land owners, which are largely
responsible for the recent anti-Semitia
excesses, formed the subject of an inter
pellation by the opposition leader In the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday. The
Premier replied in behalf of the govern
ment, appealing to all the political par
ties to assist in reaching a Just solution
of the difficulty.
The first duty of the government was
to stop the excesses and this the Govern
ment proposed to do by all means in Its
power. The declaration of the Premier
was warmly received by all political par
ties and was ordered to be placarded
throughout the country.
ments were not "the beginning of the
end of Ruef," but merely the beginning
of the work of exposing the municipal
con uptlon in San Francisco and the
prosecution of those "high up, who
are responsible for such conditions in
this city." District Attorney Langdon
said immediately after the indictments
had been filed:
The remarkable organization of this
grafting and corruption 'In the munici
pal aialrs in San Francisco, its amaz
ing ramifications Involving million
aires and the better class of citizens,
will appal not only In this city but the
entire country when It Is fully laid
bare;
Only Beginning. Says Burns.
'"This Is only the beginning." declared
Secret Service Agent Burns. "The
evidence in the indictment filed to
day and others that have been
returned, but for the present will
remain secret, is absolutely conclusive,
and as perfect as the evidence in any case
of investigation with which 1 have been
connected."
'Ruef acted as broker and agent," he
continued, "between the corporations and
the Board of Supervisors in all matters
pertaining to the obtaining 'of privileges
from the city fathers."
Mr. Burns denied that he had been or
dered back to Washington, as reported.
and declared that it might take an en
tire year yet to complete the work that
he and Mr. Henoy have undertaken here.
He asserted that every department in the
city government would be thoroughly in
vestigated.
Consternation in Rucfs Camp.
Consternation seemed to reign In Ruefa
camp today. Following a long conference
with his attorneys this morning, Ruef de
cided that he preferred to remain In the
custody of Elisor Blggy at the St. Francis
Hotel, and his attorneys appeared before
the Supreme Court, asking that the Bp
plication of a writ making Sheriff O'Neill
custodian of the political boss be dis
missed. This was granted. Half an hour
later his attorneys again appeared before
the Supreme Court and sought to have
their former action quashed and the ap
plication for a writ reinstated. The court
took the matter under consideration un
til tomorrow.

How Facts Were Obtained.
The Indictments returned today re
sulted from the clever and indefatigable
work of Mr. Heney and Mr. Burns dur
ing the past week or ten days. The en
tering wedge was driven when Super
visors Ixmergan and Boxton were al
iased to have been trapped several days
ago by Mr. Heney and Mr. Burns in the
act of taking a small bribe. Their con
fession of all grafting with which they
were connected was followed last Sunday
by the confession of Sanderson to Mr.
Heney at Palo Alto. Sanderson, who was
formerly a schoolmate of Mr. Heney's,
went to Arizona several months ago,
and upon his return was met by Mr.
Heney. When confronted by. the latter
with evidence already in hand, Sander
son reluctantly admitted his part In the
taking of bribes. With the confession of
those three, supplemented by a mass of
information obtained from other sources,
the remainder -of ' the Supervisors, ex
cept J. J. Furey. were summoned by the
grand jury Monday.
When confronted by the confessions
of their colleagues, it is said that they
literally fell over each other to tell all
they knew, and thereby secure possible
immunity from prosecution. The Super
visors were, interrogated and sweated
by Mr. Heney and Mr. Burns from 11
o'clock in the morning until after mid
night, and made most sensational dis
closures of bribery and corruption.- It
was largely on this Information that to
day's Indictments were returned, and
others,, which, it is said, are to follow.
Furey was examined today, but George
Duffy, formerly a Supervisor, but now
president of the Board of Public Works,
has not yet been called.
After Board of Public Works Next.
It Is said that Duffy, who has here
tofore been -generally regarded as the
one guiltless member of the board, is
willing, in fact anxious, to make a clean
breast. In order to obtain Immunity. This,
however, has not yet been .granted to
him, and will depend, according to Mr.
Heney, upon certain conditions that he
also tell of the alleged corruption in the
Board of Public Works, where astound
ing conditions are said to prevail.
While neither Mr. Heney nor Mr. Lang
don will admit that the Supervisors
were promised Immunity from prosecu
tion If they confessed, it Is practically
certain that they will not be proceeded
against. In order to convict the bribe
givers, who, Mr. Heney and Mr. Burns
declare, are the actual criminals, it is
apparent that no attempt will be made
to prosecute the "small fry." if the lat
ter will give such information as it may
have.

A Carload o! Reed-French's Famous Little Bijou Pianos Unloaded
Yesterday -The Greatest $190 Piano Ever Put on the Market
on Exhibition at Reed -French's Store, Sixth and Burnside.
$5.00 a Month Installments
Lots of pianos are sold in Portland sold at all prices but for downright goodness,
no piano can touch the Reed-French Bijou at the price.
Some people say a piano can't be good at such a price -they feel like they must pay three
hundred dollars or more; but we say our $190 piano can beat, on any kind of a test, a retailer's
three hundred dollar instrument.
1 .
We make these pianos; we know what's in them. We sold four carloads last Fall, and they
behaved as well through the past Winter as pianos costing twice as much.
This car of beautiful little instruments (the first we have had since Christmas) will be on exhi
bition today.
Here's the Proposition It's the same as we made last Fall. Select a piano, pay
$5.00 a month installments, keep it 60 days, and if it isn't more than we say, pay the cartage and
get your money back. th
If you prefer to begin payments from the first, that will be satisfactory.
