r i' , THE MORS1SO OKEGO.MAJf, SATURDAY MAT 18. 1907. . I I ' I 1 V,.1 SENATORS MUST SITE POSITION Chairman Brown Says Ohio Republicans Are Solid for Taft. MAY DEMAND CONVENTION dead of Committee Calls on Sen ators to Deny Report They Sup xrt Fairbanks They Don't Control the Committee. TOLEDO. O., May 17. Chairman Walter F. Brown of the Ohio State Central Com mittee today declared himself unquali fiedly for Taft. said the Republicans of Ohio were solidly in. favor of his can didacy and that Senators Foraker and Dick owe it to themselves and their friends to settle the report that they are secretly supporting the candidacy of Vice President Fairbanks. He declared, however, that the senti ment for Taft is so strong that, if further opposed or in any way misrep resented by Messrs. Foraker and Dick, it will burst all bounds and demand ex pression in a popular convention. Mr. Brown said: "There is not to my knowledge a Re publican leader whose prominence Is ac knowledged throughout Ohio who favors any candidate for the Presidency ex cept Secretary Taft." It was suggested to Mr. Brown that a belief exists with politicians in some other states that Messrs. Foraker and Dick, who are . opposing the Taft can didacy, control the state party machinery and that the power of the organization is behind them. "There was never a greater mistake than that," said Mr. Brown. "The Sena tors do not control the party machinery and they never have swayed and they do not sway the State Central Committee in any of its actions. It is the absolute truth that the commltee has never been under their control at any time since its membership was announced. Tbe organi zation is with Taft." SCHMITZ NERVOUS WRECK (Continued From First Pass.) prosecution, who suggested that Schmlts resign and allow the existing Board of Supervisors to elect his successor. While it was not so stated. It was Im plied that the choice of the board would conform to the desire of the prosecution, and that it was best that the reform forces -work out the present Board of Supervisors and ' leave the situation in the hands of the prosecution. Schmitz Denies Abdication. It was also reported that Schmitz had virtually abdicated in favor of a com mittee of seven. This was strongly denied by the Mayor, who said: District Attorney Langdon was asked tonight: "lias the prosecution entered Into any arrangement, tentative or other wise, for the virtual relieving: of the Mayor and the turning over of the actual reins of government to a com mittee of seven, representing commer cial organizations?" "The District Attorney," replied Mr. Langdon, "positively will have no deal ings with any committee appointed by Schmitz." . Mr. Langdon was also asked: "Accepting as correct the statement by a member of the prosecution that the Mayor has endeavored to make terms, would the District Attorney's office accept a confession from htm?" Schmitz 'Will Not Confess. "We will accept the confession of any criminal," he replied, i "Would an agreement to accept carry the proviso that no 'immunity strings' be attached?" 'Absolutely," he answered. W. H. Metson, one of the Mayor's attorneys, said' today: "Mr. Schmitz will not confess. He has nothing to confess. He lis not guilty." Mr. Metson stated that the Mayor will appear for trial in Judge Dunne's department of the Superior Court on Monday next. Dr. Joseph Poheim, a former Police Commissioner of this city, has, it Is said, furnished Detective William J. Burns details of Schmitz" action in compelling him to vote for the French restaurant licenses in order that Ruef could extort from the proprietors a fee -of thousands of dollars to insure their protection. Mr. Burns relies upon this confession to secure the conviction of Schmitz on the five charges of ex tortion. : TESTIFIES OX PARKSIDE DEAL Ttuef Got $30,000 Bribe Which Was Never Earned. SAN FRANCISCO, May 17. Abraham Ruef today, in his second appearance before the grand Jury, testified regard ing the Parkslde Traction Company deal, by which, according to the line of attack laid down by the prosecution, the directorate of the Parkslde cor poration paid to Ruef $30,000 to secure a street railway franchise to enhance enormously the value of the lots com posing the Parkslde real estate tract. The information in the possession of the prosecution is that, of this sum. $1000 was to be paid to each of the 18 Supervisors for voting the franchise and that the remainder, $12,000, was to be shared evenly by Ruef and Schmitz. Among the directors and stockhold ers of the Parkslde Traction Company were W. H. Crocker, one of the fore most capitalists of San Francisco; Charles K. Green, manager of the vast Crocker estate and an official of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank; G. H. Umb . sen, a wealthy real estate man: Doug las Watson, the same; F. W. Tillman, wholesale grocer; Wellington Gregg, an officer of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, and Joseph Green, capitalist, who was president of tbe corporation. Ruef Kept Unearned Bribe. All of these men were called before the grand Jury today. The fact that several of them were in the inquisito rial chamber but a few minutes gave rise to the? report that they had refused to testify. This was not conlrmed. A detail of the charge to be pursued bv the prosecution is that the origi nal bribe agreed upon by each of the ,18 Supervisors was fiiO, but that,' when the Parkslde corporation, shortly after the great Are, decided that it wanted a ! trolley Instead of a cable franchise, the , price was raised to $1000 each, and the increase was consented to. It is fur ther charged that, the bribery-graft prosecution getting under way at about this time, the effort to have a fran chise granted was postponed indefi nitely and that Ruef retained the $30,- 000 passed. - : WU1 Ruef Return Money? Ruef was asked tonight when he" emerged from the grand Jury cham ber: "Have you -made any arrangements to return to the men and corporations against whom you will testify in court the various sums of money paid by them o you for corruption purposes or as 'fees' in bribery deals" He re plied: "I will have a statement to make in that regard a little later. When I stated In Judge Dunne's court on Monday that it was my purpose henceforth to lead a life of rectitude and to atone. Insofar as could, for whatever wrong I had done In the past. I meant what I said. There was no opportunity then nor was it the best occasion to enter into details- But 1 shall presently prepare a statement covering your question." . When Ruef entered the grand Jury chamber this evening it was 6:30 o'clock and he had been waiting in an ante room since shortly after 3. Several of the grand Jurors, following the example set by all of them the day before, rose and grasped the fallen boss by the hand and expressed a desire to help him "in any way they could." Tells of Parkslde Deal. Ruef was on the stand one hour, dur ing which the Parkslde deal, which, ac cording to the prosecution programme, falls under the criminal caption of "at tempt to bribe public officers," was the subject of inquiry. The investigation of the alleged bribery of the Mayor and the Supervisors by the United Railroads Company, which formed the text of Ruefs testimony yesterday, was not re sumed today. The gas deal, comprising the charge by the prosecution that the Supervisors were bribed by the San Francisco Gas & Electric Company to fix the gas rate" for 1906 at 85 insteadt 7S cents, was gone into in the early part of the afternoon session, among the wit nesses called being President William B. Bourne and Director Cyrus Pierce. At the conclusion of the session Dis trict Attorney Langdon and Assistant District Attorney Heney refused to make any statement whatsoever. Mr. Langdon intimated that an especially binding pledge had been taken by prosecutors and Jurors to maintain secrecy. Every wit ness is being bound in a promise to keep Bllence, though no legal penalty is pro vided for the dlvulgence of his own tes timony. The grand Jury adjourned until Monday at 2 P. M. . Ruef, now that he has confessed, has improved in health and spirits. WILL FORCE FEDERATION Zelaya Pushing Guatemalan Revolu tion to Carry Out Scheme. MEXICO CITY. May 17.

BELIEVE HIM CHANGED MAN New York Correspondents Express Conviction Reputed Slayer of Steunenberg Will Tell Truth. Meet Penalty Squarely. BOISE. Idaho, May 17. (Special.) There were published this morning two signed statements, one by A. E. Thomas, of the New York Sun, the other by O'K. Davis, of the Chicago Tribune and New Yorjc Times, giving their impressions of Harry Orchard. These were assailed with much bitterness during the flurry in court. The statements follow: Harry Orchard has balanced hi" books. It has been a long and weary task, and the marks of its harrowing hours are visible upon the face of the bookkeeper. But the -.u m AniwhAil at last. . Harry Orchard knows - what he owes to the people of America and to his own conscience, ana ne has determined to pay the bill. It may be that In the currency of reparation he ha not the wherewithal to settle with his creditors, but that he Is willing to bankrupt himself In the effort to do so there is no manner of doubt. This, at all events, is the impression which I carried away with me from the half-hour's talk I had with him yesterday at the state penitentiary. Strong of Mind and Body. Harry Orchard Is said to be a very dif ferent person from the man who entered the prison 16 months and more aso. It is easy to believe It. Today, at least, he Is strong In body, keen ol mind, serene of spirit, master of himself and all his pur poses. What he said in the Interview of yesterday is told elsewhere in this news paper. It is not necessary to repeat it here. But it may be of interest to record the impression that he made upon one of those who saw him , after these many months of a seclusion which he is soon to leave tor tbe fierce light that beats upon the witness chair. Of course, the clearness of Orchard's mind and the vigor of his body are all of Importance and Interest, but the most vital thine ot all is the attitude of his mind toward the task that lies Just before him. That whatever he has said or done since his confinement began has been done o said voluntarily and without coercion or induce ments, he save his word in my hearing. I believe his statement Implicitly not be cause I know anything of his credibility, but because the man is convincing Conscience Shows In Him. Whatever the Harry Orchard of Decem ber 30, 1905, may have been, men who look like the Harry Orchard of May 18. 100T are men who tell the truth. There Is a conscience behind thoee blue, unfaltering eyes of his. How It came to be so. how it germinated, how it grew, is a storv that will some time be told. But that time is not yet. The day on which Harry Orchard takes the witness stand in the little Courthouse in Jefferson street will be a day long to be remembered in Boise and also It will be remembered quite as much for the man himself as for the story that he tells. A. E. THOMAS. Will Meet Ordeal Squarely. Orchard surprised me a good deal. From the stuff I had read about him. I was not prepared to meet Just such a clean-cut, well-dressed young fellow as he now Is. This surprise at first meeting him was increased bv J.ls talk and bis manner. These con veyed Irresistibly a strong Impression of sincerity. There was about him an air of composure and serenity which expressed more plainly than any words he couid utter the fact that he has reached a thoroughly satisfactory solution of his problem. He has squared accounts with himself. I believe he understands perfectly what is before him, and has made up his mind, to meet it squarely. He may flinch under the ordeal, but I shall be- much surprised If he breaks down. Manifestly there has been a tremendous change in Orchard since he was arrested. 'Men who have lived the life he led prior to that do not easily become in terested In ecclesiastical history, the Refor mation and the lives of George Whlttleld and John Wesley. It strikes me as signifi cant and illuminating that Orchard has chosen that line of reading. I can hardly believe that he is doing it for an ulterior purpose. His manifest intelligence, alert ness of mind, great comprehension and ready humor are more than- sufficient con tradiction of the reports of his failing strength and failing mind. O'K. DAVIS. ONE HAT IX SEVEX YEARS Because She Got Ko 3Iore, Mrs. Hunt Sues for Divorce. ALBANY, Or., May 17. (Special.) Be cause he taunted her with the. statement that his former wife bought only one hat in seven years and that cost but $1.50, Mary I. Hunt has sued Albert Hunt for divorce. She fared like her predecessor, according to the allegations In her com plaint, filed this afternoon, for she asserts that when her entire wardrobe consisted of one calico dress her husband refused, to buy her anything more. Mrs. Hunt alleges that though her hus band was a man of wealth. In order to clothe herself she was forced to secure money from her mother. Sensational allegations of cruel treatment make up the complaint. When she was ill she avers she lay in bed with so little atten tion that her hair was not combed or her bed made for nine days and then neighbors remedied the condition. In addition to asking for a divorce Mrs. Hunt Is suing for one-third or real estate valued at $2000. and also for $500 alimony and $250 attorney's fees. L. I. Swan is her attorney. The parties to the suit reside near Albany. Court Approves Sale of Road. MEDFORD, Or.. May 17. (Special.)

Grown-l'p Toy Raises : 20,000 v Pounds of Metal. New York Herald. Through the application of a fa miliar, simple boyhood plaything the Pennsylvania Railroad saves hundreds of thousands of dollars a year In time, in wages, and in wear and tear. It Is the ancient horseshoe magnet of the schooldays by which clusters of nee dles, nails and knife-blades were picked up and suspended indefinitely. But Instead of the needles and nails and knife-blades now it is heavy steel rails, scrap iron,, wheels, castings. In gots, pig iron, and everything in which steel or iron appears. . For years the loading or unloading of freight cars filled particularly with iron or steel was one of the most In convenient, tedious, and expensive . op erations of railroad work. It always took large numbers of men, and they Were required to handle each piece separately, with all the attendant de lays. If cranes were used for the heavier pieces, there were chains to be adjusted, weights to be balanced, and loads to be swung. .The expense antr7 the inconvenience were not so Im portant, but there was the tediousness. Tediousness means time, and the ob ject of the railroad of today is to anni hilate time. Modern transportation demands that it be eliminated. When it came time for the Pennsyl vania Railroad to rebuild its terminal freight yards at Greenville, Jersey city, facing on jvew York Harbor, there cropped up that old problem of how to handle the iron. Greenville stands to re-ilroad ter minals as the mouth of the Mississippi does to rivers. Every second of the day and night, 365 days in the year, a vast volume of freight pours into it, and this must be distributed for Eu rope or North, South, East and West. They handle cars there by the hun dred thousand, and they handle freight by the millions At tons. It was weari some to think that so much of it was to be handled in the old, laborious way. The men who planned the new Pennsylvania became impatient. - "There must be some other way," they declared. "ft must be found" and according to custom they concluded by saying, "Find It!" The word went forth to all the men of the country who work at that sort of thing, "We must find some new way," so they began -to cudgel their brains and rumble their hair over the problem. Out in Cleveland there was A. C. East wood, and he found himself puzzling over the order like all the others. One day. It is not known how, he remembered the magnet of his boyhood days. That solved the problem. He began to ex periment, and the result of that experi ment is now in active operation over In the yard, doing every day the work of a score of men, saving hours and hours at It, cutting down expenses, and above all cutting down the time of handling, which is the main thing. Mr. Eastwood's 'device is the electro magnet, a simple contrivance looking like a double .crown of corrugated iron and steel. Its two poles strongly marked, with its armatures concealed, and all suspend ed from the chains of a heavy crane. Around this chain is wrapped the current wire, which gives the thing life or takes it away. Nowadays a big steel car, plied high with rails, or pig iron, or scrap iron, or wheels, rolls within reach of the crane, and the man in charge swings the magnet over It. It descends and rests upon the load. A button Is pressed, and suddenly those rails appear alive. They fairly leap up to the magnet, ten tons of them at a time, all in neat and orderly array. - As the crane hoists, the pieces of metal swing clear almost without a rasp or sound, and then just as noiselessly they fall Into the new place appointed. In the car or out of it, into a waiting barge or on blocks. It is all so simple and easy. It is the same way with scrap Iron. When' the magnet dips its nose into a pile of scrap it emerges looking like an alligator pear, and every time there are the 10 tons hanging to it. It does not take long to fill or empty a car at that rate. And there is never any argument or shouting or halts for breathing spells the magnet never tires so long as the electricity Is there to stimulate it. They made a test over in the yards the other day to determine the difference be tween the old way and the new way. Six men were put to work unloading one car of wheels, while the magnet, which Is at tended by four men, went to work: on a load of exact size, material, and weight. The -magnet loaded and unloaded Its car in one hour, while the six men labored manfully at extra pressure for a half day and were just through. That settled it. Other magnets were ordered, and will soon take their places in the freight -city. . When they are all put in operation the effect will be start ling to the old-time railroad man. WASHING DISHES WEEKLY Xew Experiment In Solving a Do mestic Problem. "Victor Smith in New York Press. "D3 come and have a peep at my kitchen," said the young matron. The Sewing Society trooped in. A quick eyed spinster counted over a hundred utensils hanging along walls and shelves. "What on earth do you want with so much ware?" she inquired. "Only three in your family, and you have enough vessels to cook for a ho tel." The hostess explained: "Well, you know servants are very hard to get, and harder to keep, so I do all my own cooking. I do not care to pot wrestlo every day, so I laid in enough vessels to last a week: then I take a day off and assist Mary, my washwom an, in scrubbing everything." This young woman shed a light, and now several members of the Sewing Society are laying in great quantities of pots and kettles. "Why not?" they say. "We have our clothes washed once a week. Why sling pots and ket tles every day, or three times a day?" Tho matron does not hesitate to tell that all her china, glass and table ware are handled In the same way washed once a week. 6he has over a gross each of cups, s-Tucers, plates, knives, forks, spoons, etc., and Mary rather enJoy3 the novel task of clean ing so many pretty things -every Mon day, for she receives $2.

When the pots, kettles, dishes and glass and cut lery come out of this mixture about all they need is a rinsing or two in clear hot water to be as "clean as wax."

For all practical pur poses the Government Irrigation project In the Malheur country may be con sidered dead. It was bo announced at the time the reclamation service decided to abandon the work, at least temporarl ily. Senator Bourne' recently had- an in quiry In regard to this project and re quested the director of the reclamation service to give him a statement which could be used as authentic announcement of the Intention of the Government. The letter, which follows, bears out former statements, and by reading between the lines It is not difficult to see that there is no intention whatever of further con sidering this project. The director stated: There were several causes which led to the action of the Secretary of the Interior In withdrawing from the Malheur project. These were. In brief, as follows: The result of the last surveys showed a higher cost per acre than the landowners were apparently willing to bind themselves to pay. There were questions of adjustment with parties owning large blocks of land In the project which were not satisfactorily set tled, but which might have been arranged If the first objection had been removed.

The negotiations with the Eastern Oregon 1-and Company did not Indicate any serious difficulty In regard to an adjustment. Under the conditions now existing, it is not probable that the Reclamation service could renew Its opesatlons In the Malheur district, even If all difficulties were re moved, because of the fact that the entire reclamation fund Is now allotted to pro jects, upon practically all of which con struction has commenced and Is well ad vanced. It will doubtless be several years before sufficient funds would be available to take up a project of such size as the Malheur project. Making Cloth From Paper. Wall Street Summary. To cotton yarn and linen yarn and woolen yarn now add paper yarn! And this Is no "yarn," at that. Xylolln, or paper yarn, has been manufactured successfully, after years of experimen tation, by a Saxon named Clavies, and the same Is now used In a wide vari ety of textile fabrics.
