THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY. MAT 17, 1907. 5 NARROW ESCAPE FROM ASSASSINS Conspiracy Among Members of the Czar's Own Court. WAS BEGUN MONTHS AGO Confession of Cossack Soldier Be trays Plot Just In Time Host of Arrests Douma Will Express Great Joy. ST. PETERSBURG. May 16. Further details of the plot at Tsarskoe-Selo against the life of the. Emperor, which came to light yesterday, were obtained today, and indicate that the Emperor's escape during: Passion week was very narrow. The plot was deep-laid and the con spirators were members of the Em peror's personal court. The arrest of cine man, a Cossack Sergeant, has made it possible to trace the conspiracy back for four months, and shows that prep arations were being: made on February 2. wehn the police Issued orders to use every effort to identify the purchaser of a uniform of His Majesty's own Cos sack escort, which had been found dur ing: a raid. The use of the regulation uniform Is a favorite device of the ter rorists, and the Cossack garb is an open sesame to the principal doors of the palaces at Tsarskoe-Selo and Peterhof. After the soldier who was suspected had made his confession yesterday, the rews went the rounds anions the mem bers of the Imperial Guard. The Cos sack Sergeant, who was a gatekeeper at one of the entrances to the palace, became frightened at possible discov ery, and he also voluntarily confessed. The lower house of Parliament is taking the keenest interest In the story, and it Is expected that the leader of the Constitutional Democrats only await official confirnratlon to Introduce a motion axpresilnir Joy at the preser vation of the Emperors life. A brother o? Frimier Stolypin con P.:ns the report that numerous arrests have been mad--. Hs declares that the exsteiu'e of the plot was knoi-n from the beginning, and It was ferreted out until the entire plan was uncovered. MORE CARS ARE RUNNING Oeary-Strcet Directors Kepudiale Agreement With Carmen. SAX FRANCISCO. May 16. There were no important developments In the streetcar strike today. About 150 cars of the United Railroads were In operation over eight lines of the system. Both the officials of the United Railroads and Carmen's- Union express themselves as BatlsfieC with the situation. Contrary to an announcement made last night the Geary street line was not operated today. At a stormy meeting of the directors this afternoon the action of Secretary Shepard in signing an agree ment with the Carmen's Union to grant them the eight-hour day and $3 a day was disapproved, and Mr. Shepard there upon tendered his resignation which was accepted. J. HI Polhemus was chosen to succeed him. Mr. Shepard issued a statement in which he said he had made the agree ment on the understanding that it would be approved by President Piatt, as re quired by the rules of the company. He anticipated that the directors would also give their approval as the only step avail able to make possible the resumption of traffic on the line and prevent the road from passing into the control of the city.

He received several blows In the face before officers came to his res cue. The assailants escaped. Later a non-union conductor was dragged out of a streetcar by a crowd of 1000 union sympathizers and severely beaten. The police saved him from further Injury. The mob dispersed., and no arrests were made. Special . deputies were sworn in in anticipation of trouble. Save Others at Risk of Death. NEW YORK. May 16. Half a score of firemen risked their lives today in saving six of their comrades who had been overcome by flames and smoke In the hold of a burning oil barge lying at the White Star Line pier in the Hud son River. All the rescued men were Mrtously burned. The six had . gone Into the hold when they thought the fire had been overcome and were cut ting away a partition when a terrific burst of flames and smoke swept through the opening and enveloped them. The men dropped unconscious, and their comrades, braving the fire and smoke, went to their rescue. One by one the unconscious firemen were carried out and passed up through the hatchway to the open air. The res cuers themselves were nearly suffocated.

John Maloney, motorman on a westbound Chicago and Oak Park elevated train, proved him self a hero last night when, with bis clothing a mass of flames, he remained at his post after the circuit breaker on the motorcar set fire to the coach. His pluck averted a possible panic. He was severely burned and may not survive. Maloney escaped from the burning car by climbing out of a window to the front platform, where the flames on his garments were extinguished by two men who wrapped him in an overcoat and rolled him on the platform. He was re moved to St. Ann's Hospital. The train at the time was filled with passengers. More than 60 women and girls, passengers on the rear cars, were unaware of their danger until they ar rived at the Flfty-second-avenue station.

ORCHARD TALKS : OF IMPRISONMENT (Continued From First Page.) factory juror was secured to replace Wil liam Van Orsdale, the grocer, as Xp.-2, who was examined yesterday afternoon oh a peremptory challenge from the state. As court adjourned today, the de fense exercised its first challenge by re lieving Allen Pride, a farmer, as No. 6. Mr. Pride had testified during his exam ination that he had Invited to dinner the deputy who served him with a jury sum mons. He and the deputy discussed the case for some time, their talk hinging par ticularly upon Harry Orchard, who is to be the principal witness for the state. A talesman was called to replace Pride, but his examination was deferred until to morrow. As the work of jury selection progresses, the difficulties in the way of completing the panel seem even to be increasing. To day one after another of the talesmen were excused ecause of the strong opin ions they entertained as to the guilt or innocence of the men accused. One man called for service but dismissed by the court indicated that he was prejudiced against the state because of tho various acts attributed to the prosecution during the past year. Each Side lias Nine Challenges. . Each side still has nine peremptory challenges to exercise and there remain 57 more of the special venire to draw from. The panel as it stands tonight Is as follows: A. L. Ewing, carpenter; Joel Matthews, farmer; Samuel D. GUman, farmer; Walter Shaw, farmer; Frank E. Madden, who as yet has not been ex amined as to his qualifications; William H. McGuffln, coal dealer; George H. Mc Intyre, farmer; W. N. Rudge, farmer; Orrlce Cole, mining broker; W. W. Bisby. real estate dealer; A. P. Burns, retired business man: Samuel F. Russell, farmer. The morning session today was aban doned because of the funeral of ex-Judge Edward Nugent, of the District Court. The examination of prospective Jurors will be continued at 10 A. M. tomorrow. Judge E. L. Bryan, of Canyon County, where the Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone trials were originally set, was a guest of Judge Wood on the bench. Within 15 minutes after the session be gan, George F. Maw, a young rancher, was disqualified by the defense. He de clared that while he had no prejudice against Haywood as a man, he had a very strong prejudice against labor unions and could not give the defendant a fair trial. The state Joined In the challenge, which took Maw from the trial panel. Had Unqualified Opinions. John Henderlider and E. M. Jackson, both ranchers, who were called in turn to seat No. 2 vacated by Maw, were chal lenged and excused after declaring ' that they had formed and expressed unquali fied opinions. George Cole, formerly of New York City but now a rancher in this county, had passed a seemingly satisfactory examina tion to fill the vacancy when he an nounced that he bad been an invalid for the past six years. He was excused. Charles Mace, another rancher, was under examination for nearly half an hour. He said he had an opinion which would require some evidence to remove. A challenge by the defense was opposed by counsel for the State, but sustained by Judge Wood. Milton Burns, a Boise Valley farmer, was the fifth talesman called into the troublesome seat. He, too, had a pretty strong opinion and was excused. L. M. Campbell, a real estate dealer and former retail clerk and formerly a member of the Retail Clerks' Union, was the next talesman called. The defense resisted the challenge inter posed for prejudice by the State. Judge Wood,' however, directed him to leave the box. ' Ex-Mayor Plnney Has Opinion. J. A. Plnney, ex-Mayor of Boise, fol lowed Mr. Campbell, but was quickly excused by the consent of both sides. He had an unqualified opinion. J. E. Clinton, Jr.. cashier of the Boise City National Bank, said he had talked with persons claiming to know the facts In the case and had formed a strong opinion. He was promptly ex cused. John Utter, a rancher, offered the excuse that he had conscientious scru ples against capital punishment where the evidence was largely circumstan tial. The State challenged and was sustained by Judge Wood. During the examination of A. L. Eichelberger, a rancher and fruit grower, who was the tenth man called during the afternoon, the talesman de clared he was prejudiced against "latter-day Socialists." , "I suppose they are not connected with Latter-Day Saints?" suggested Mr. Richardson of the defense. "I think not," replied Mr. Eichel berger, amid laughter. The prosecution joined the defense in challenging the talesman and he was excused forthwith. Joel Slatthews Accepted. Joel Matthews, the eleventh man up, finally proved satisfactory as No. 2. Mr. Matthews is a farmer who came to Idaho a few years ago from Missouri. He declared that he would convict on circumstantial evidence If it removed every reasonable doubt, but he would like to have some direct testimony as well. The defense then was called upon to exercise its first peremptory challenge. Allen Pride, Juror No. 6, was desig nated. Mr. Pride Is the farmer that Deputy Sheriff Roberts talked to when summoning him as a juror. Frank E. Madden was called to fill the vacancy, but an adjournment until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock was taken before he could be examined by either side. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that a majority of the talesmen so far examined have stated that they be long to no church. One of the most intelligent admitted that his parent went to church, but he did no; know what church it was, although he knew there was a church in the village. Haywood himself has changed great ly In his demeanor within the last two days. At first he left his counsel se verely alone, and appeared to be tak ing little or no interest In the matter of the selection of a jury. Now, how ever, he scans each talesman closely, and is almost continually in conference with his counsel. He watches the pro ceedings Intently, and whenever any thing happens that brings out a laugh in the courtroom, Haywood Joins In the merriment. ( Girls Will March for Haywood. CHICAGO. May IS. Fifty girls between eight and fifteen years old, daughters of Chicago Union men, will march In the Moyer-Haywood parade next Sunday as a mark of sympathy for the 10-year-old daughter of.W. D. Haywood, on trial at Boise, Idaho, for the murder of Former Governor Steunenberg. No red flags or banners will be carried in the parade. This was decided finally by the delegates who had received an inti mation from Chief of Police Shlppy that he would not allow any anarchistic sym bols to be displayed. Delegate Morgan asked that every union man's wife, sister, or sweetheart, be in line. . Filipino Tribes Are Quiet. SAN FRANCISCO, May IS. Brigadier General H. T. Allen, organizer, and until recently chief of the Philippine constab ulary, arrived here yesterday from Ma nila on the Army transport Thomas. General Allen says there Is little trouble In the Philippines now, except In Leyte and Samar, where the hill tribes still worry the insular government. Aguin aldo is now living quietly on his ranch in the province of Cavite. where the former head of the lnsurrectos is attending strict ly to his own affairs and not participating in matters political. General Allen was succeeded as chief of the constabulary by Constable Bandholtz, of the Second Infantry. Whooping Coach. This Is a much more ds-ngerous disease than it i generally presumed to be.

Half Crew of Visiting Battleships Rides in Automobiles and Visits Tomb of Grant, NEW TORK. May 16. While high offi cers of the Japanese fighting forces, just now the guests of New York City, made official calls today, 700 sailors. Just one half of the crews of the Japanese battle ships Tsukuba and Chitose. had a holi day in Manhattan. Each with a canteen filled with straight Croton water slung around his neck, they swarmed ashore and., tumbling into automobiles provided by their Americanized cousins, saw the sights with undisguised enjoyment, con ducting themselves all the while In a manner that will remain a shining exam ple to visiting sailor laddies. Vice-Admiral G. Ijuin, of the imperial Japanese navy, paid an official visit to Rear-Admiral Joseph S. Coghlan. U. S. N.. commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard during the forenoon. The visitors returned to this city, where, at the Hotel Astor, they were the guests this evening at a private dinner. The 700 sailors who remained aboard the ships today will have their outing tomorrow. Today's visitors paid a delicate compli ment to American traditions when, pressed for time on their sightseeing tour and compelled to choose between two at tractions, they deliberately sacrificed the Bowery, supposed to be the Mecca of every visiting seaman, and Wall street, and instead made a pilgrimage to Grant's tomb and Columbia University. B0NILLA TO RENEW WAR Escapes Only to Return to Hon duras Opposed to Union. GALVESTON, Tex., May 16. General Bonilla, exiled president of Honduras, ar rived at this port from Progresso, Mex.. on the Norwegian steamer Motina this morning. The vessel will ' be released from quarantine at noon tomorrow and proceed to Texas City, whence the former President-will come to Galveston, where he expects to remain a few days. Although General Bonilla stated today that he was in search of health, it was said that he would make his way from Galveston to New Orleans, where he would board a vessel for British Hon duras, going thence to his own country, where he expects to again find enough of his friends to reinstate him in the presidency. This afternoon a newspaper reporter was enabled to board the steamer and through an interpreter asked and received answers to numerous ques tions concerning Central American condi tions. General Bonilla was guarded in many replies, but was outspoken in his defense of Hunduras in the recent war. While favorable to the confederation of Central American states with a strong central government, he stated that he did not be lieve that such a form of government was possible at the present time.

Company, the Interstate Commerce Com mission held that to make distance the sole factor - in determining a reasonable rate would introduce undue discrimina tion and create chaotic commercial conditions. Protect Against Cotton Rate. PHILADELPHIA, May 16 At the American Cotton Manufacturers' Asso ciation convention today, addresses were made by President Finiey. of the South ern Railway, and Congressman Burleson, of Texas. A resolution was presented as follows: "That this association place on record its disapproval of the action of the Inter state Commerce Commission In the case of the rate in transcontinental shipments of Southern mill products to the Orient." The action referred to was on a sale case of southern goods to the Orient in which suit was brought by New York exporters against Southern railroads to collect the difference between 85 cents, the rate from New England, and $1.23. the rate from the South. The commission decided in favor of the railroads. DON'T MISS THE I.ANE RALLY Tonight, at Armory, 10th and Couch. KI8ER KODAK DEVELOPING. Imperial Hotel Also Scenic Photos.

G. 43 IVDEN I WILL CURE YOU When I have accepted your case for treatment von may look forward to a complete and per manent cure, and with the very first treatment the curing will begin. This is pretty definite talk upon what is commonly re- f;arded as an uncertain and specu Jtive matter. But I am in h position to speak definitely and positively. With me the cure of men's diseases Is not uncertain or speculative at all. MY FEE ONLY You Pay When Cured DR. TAVI.OK. The Leading Specialist. 13 WK.lKSEM LOSSES (iONHRRHOet sythilis ;lket . rrLEs IN UNCOMPLICATED CASES. I have treated so many cases that I know just what I can do and what I cannot do, and I never promise or attempt too much. I accept no case In which I have doubt as to my ability to cure, and results are always equal to the claims I make. Following are some of the diseases 1 cure, and reasons why my cures are certain. Contracted Disorders In no other ailment peculiar to men is a prompt and thorough cure so essential. Contracted dis orrterr tend to work backward un til the most vital nerve centers be come involved in the inflamma tion. Then follows a chronic stage that stubbornly resists all ordinary treatment. Safety de mands that every vestige of in fection be eradicated at the earliest possible moment. My treatment Is thorough. The reme dies employed have a more posi tive action than has ever before been attained, and so perfect 1s my method of application that even chronic cases yield com pletely. Varicocele This most prevalent, of all dis eases of men is also the most ngl"cted. cither through dread of tiie harsh method of treatment commonly employed, or through itrnorance of the grave dangers tlnt accompany the disease. As varicocele Interferes directly with the' circulation and process of wnsto and repair throughout the generative organs, the necessity of a prompt and thorough cure cannot be too forcibly empuasized. I cure varicocele in one week by an absolutely painless process. My cures are thorough and abso lutely permanent and are ac complished without the use of knite. ligature or caustic.
