THE 3IORXING- OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY. MAY 1, 1907. n i V E OF PEACE FLUTTERS y Mayor McClellan Declines Sacrifice His Efficient Chief of Police. to WON'T BOW TO SULLIVANS Murphy Has Stumbling-Block Put in Way of Harmonious Coali tion of Warring New York Democratic Factions. ' NEW YORK, April 30. (Special. As the inevitable price of peace and of a perfect working coalition with Mayor McClellan, the Sullivans -demand the head of General Theodore Bingham, Commissioner of Police. The price Mayor McClellan positive ly refuses to pay. As a natural consequence, the dove of peace, which appeared hovering ex pectantly over the dome of the City llall ail day Monday, was frightened away today with the loss of most of its pin feathers. Two facts may be accepted as final. the Mayor's closest friends say. One of these is that he never will be found playing the role of the suppliant prodi gal to Charles F. Murphy, and the other is that he never will consent to sacri fice General Bingham and an honest. effclent administration of the police department to conciliate the Sullivans. NO KACTIOX CAN CONTROL C 'liulrman of Ohio Committee De clares Its Independence. COUUMBUS, Q.f April 30. Walter E "Rrown, of Toledo, chiiirman of the Re publican State Central Committee, In a statement issued tonight declares no faction can control that committee. Ho said: Thi newspaper talk that the leaders of any faction in the party ran control tho action of the Republican State Central Committee la rot. The members of the committee without exception are men of experience in politic. Hble to think and act for themselves. The two votes thua far taken by the committee re significant. In the selection of a chair- m an of the state executive committee seven members voted against Senator Dick, because they were fully convinced that to Intrust the management of the lat year's campaign to mm. was to Invito disaster. The election of a chairman of the State Cen tral Committee in no sene factional. It wa purely a personal matter. There were three candidates, W. H. Phipps, of Paul- dins; Con Ktldall and myself. I am not aware that Menator Foraker tk any interest In that election. So far an Senator Iick took any part he irave his preference to Air. Phipps. My election was brought about by the veterans on the committee, vith whom I had served for several years. It had no other signifi cance. Mm of sense before acting- ' in Important matters are always glad to counsel with others with experience and whose advice may be Illuminating. The members of the Kepubll can Staie Central Committee, I venture to say, are mm of wn. They are also men who, when the time comes to act. will act each upon his own personal Judgment and rejpond billty and with a single eye to the advance ment of the b-t Interests of the whole party." TAKES UP AN OLD THEME Koosevelt Again Writes Suleltle; on Itace NEW YORK, April 30. In a letter to tile editor of the Review of Reviews, President Roosevelt takes exception to ccrtatn statements made In an article on "The Doctor in the Public School." published in the April number of the periodical, and takes occasion to renew Ills expressions on the subject of race suicide. "This writer states clearly." says the President, "that It is an erroneous Idea to assume that the average family should have a larger number of healthy chil dren than the present birth rate showed. The vital statistics of a state like Mas sachusetts shows that there the average native American family of native Ameri can descent has so few children that the birth rate has fallen below the death rate. This, of course, means race suicide, and it ought to be understood that after a while there are no children to go to school. The question of their health in school would not even be academic." Continuing. Mr. Roosevelt says: "The greatest problem of civilization Is to be found In the fact that? the well-to-do families tend to die out; there re suits In consequence, a tendency to elim ination, instead of the survival of the fittest, and the moral attitude which helps on this tendency is, of course, strengthened when it is apologized for and praised in a magazine like yours. "Our people could still exist under all kinds of iniquities In government; under a debased currency, under official cor ruption, under the rule of a socialistic proletariat, under wealthy oligarchy. "All. these things would be bad for us, but the country would still exic. Hut it could not continue to exist if it paid heed to the expressed or Implied teachings of such articles as these."

Of the 50 talesmen composing the new venire Issued yesterday by Judge Dunne for the completion of the Ruef jury, 45 answered their names in court today.

Hiram Johnson, special counsel for the prosecution, stung by Henry Ach's fre quent sneering references to him as "pri vate counsel employed for public prose cution." finally said: "I've heard enough of these slurs di rected against "priiate counsel." and I am tired of It. I would rather appear for the prosecution of a boodler and a rogue, a thief and a scoundrel a man who has shamelessly robbed his own city than I would against almost any other type of citizen. That's my posi tion.'"

"The jury, Mr. Ach." said Judge Dunne, "will be instructed on all phases of the law at the proper time."

CHICAGO, April 30. Special.) The traffic and operating departments of the Harriman and the Hill lines have united in a strenuous effort to prevent a recur rence of a coal famine next Winter in the West and Northwest. Orders have been issued by the highest officials of the various roads ind have the sanction of E. H. Harriman and James J. Hill, requiring all of the officials to make every effort to induce the coal dealers to lay in their Winter's supply in the Sum mer months. The officials of the railroads dread an other such coal famine as occurred last Winter, when they were blamed for the Buffering and destitution which reigned in the West land Northwest many weeks. At that time the Interstate Commerce Commission took the problem in hand and issued orders which required the Hill roads to discontinue all other traffic until they succeeded in get-ting coal to the suf fering people along their lines. This proved an expensive operation and the railroads do not want a recurrence. Accordingly a personal canvas Is being made in all the cities, and coal dealers are being urged personally to co-operate with the railroads in placing the western country beyond the possibility of another coal famine. Every facility and induce ment is offered the dealers and In many places the efforts are meeting with suc cess. , It is the purpose of the railroads either to get the West and Northwest adequate ly coaled dcring the warm months, or to place tne blame for any future famine where they say it rightfully belongs aeaiers wno wait until the last moment to get their Winter supply.
