COURT 'ANNULS.-:
TWO-CENT BATE
Federal Judge Has Taken All
Powers From Virginia's
Commission
SO SAYS GOV. SWANSON
Southern Kxecutlve Denounces
Judge Pritchard's Action as
High - handed and Danger
ous to Interest of Society.
RICHMOND. Va., July 28. The Times
Dispatch, in an interview today with
Governor Swanson, of Virginia, gives his
position regarding the railroad rate situ
ation in the state. The Governor says
the case In Virginia is different from that
in North Carolina, as no law establishing
rates In this state has yet been enacted,
and that the paramount authorty for fix
ing rates is vested In the corporation com
misson which Judge Prltehard recently
enjoined from publishing its order for a
uniform two-cent rate.
The Governor says that under Judge
Pritchard's injunction the commission
was prevented from "perfecting the third
act necessary to fixing the rate" (publi
cation thereof), and that thus there Is no
two-cent law in Virginia today." "Under
the constitution," said Governor Swanson,
"in order for the commission to fix a
rate. It must take three necessary steps,
viz: Give notice to the transportation
companies to appear; second, give a hear
ing and enter an order; third, publish
the order four weeks before It can take
effect."
Judge's Power Far-Reaching.
The order of Judge Prltehard in the
Virginia case it outrageous, says Gov
ernor Swanson. He says the. fixing of a
date by the corporation commission is a
legislative act, and yet he restrains this
legislative body in Virginia from doing
what Is absolutely necessary to complete
an act of legislation under our consti
tution. The corporation commission is
paramount to the General Assembly or
House in fixing rates. If Judge Prltehard
can enjoin the corporation commission
from performing its duties in fixing a rate
and completing it, he can enjoin the Leg
islature; he can enjoin Congress from
passing laws until he has examined and
ascertained whether they are. In his Judg
ment, just and constitutional.
"If this rule or order of his is per
mitted and sustained, it means the de
struction of legislative bodies, and
means that they shall become subject
to the courts. It means the destruction
of the very foundations of free institu
tions. "I have favored, and continue to
favor, ignoring this order ot Judge
Prltehard prohibiting' the corporation
commission from publishing its order
as required by the constitution, and for
the publication to proceed and the act
to be completed as required by our
constitution.
Means Destruction of Society.
"To acquiesce in the decision of
a Federal Judge in arresting the
legislative body of a state in
Its processes of enacting legisla
tion is destructive of state society and
all free Institutions. This order of
Judge Prltehard makes the Virginia
case broader and far more important
than any question of passenger rates.
"The members of the corporation
commission are prepared and willing to
proceed with publication or to do any
thing else that is necessary to vlndi
rate their rights or to attain the pur
poses desired. The delay In action has
been to enable counsel to look into the
matter thoroughly and to reach a defi
nite conclusion as to what they think
the best and most advantageous course
for the state to pursue.
"The rights and dignity of the state
will be maintained to the fullest extent.
When the 2-cent rate is perfected by
publication and becomes operative In
the state, it is my purpose to see it
enforced, and to do this I shall exercise
all the powers possessed by me as Gov
ernor." KEEP THEJNDIAN SOBER
Difficult to Enforce State' Laws
Against Selling Liquor to Indians.
ORF.GOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 2S. The Commissioner of
Indian Affairs is determined, if pos
sible, to break up liquor traffic among
the Indians of the West. A beginning
of his crusade was made in Washing
ton and Idaho by Special Agent John
W. Green, who spent the entire Spring
in a semi-successful effort to break
up the practice. The great obstacle
that confronts the Government in
Washington and Idaho, as in other
states, is the Federal law which fails
to make it a crime to sell liquor to
Indians who have received allotments
of land. Such Indians are generally
regarded as citizens, and the law can
no more prevent the sale of liquor to
the Indian citizen than to the white
citizen. The Federal courts of Wash
ington have already handed down de
cisions on this point, so the only re
lief that "can be secured in that state
is In cases where liquor is sold to In
dians who. have not received allot
ments. Got Saloonmen's Promise.
There is a Washington law, In
corporated In the Rallinger code, which
makes it a crime to sell liquor to any
Indian in the state, the penalty being
a fine of from 25 to J100. Unfor
tunately, Mr. Green found the state
authorities unwilling to enforce this
law, which appears to be a dead let
ter. Not discouraged, the advocate of
temperance went to North Yakima, re
puted to be the woret "drunken In
dian" town in Washington, and there
he circulated among the barkeepers
and saloonmen, gaining their con
fidence (he gives no particular of his
methods), and finally got from each
one a promise never again to sell
liquor to an Indian. Evidently he was
skeptical about his new-made friends,
for on top of this series of promises
he persuaded the town Council of North
Yakima to pass an ordinance provid
ing that any saloonkeeper In town who
should violate his pledge and sell
liquor to an Indian should forfeit his
license.
Finds Whiskey Men Slippery.
Chuckling over his shrewd work in
North Yakima, Mr. Green started on a
tour of towns surrounding the Yakima
reservation. He met with all kinds
of success. Some of the saloonmen
arrested at his request were acquitted;
others paid the minimum fine Imposed
by the state law, while some of the
more wary, learning of Mr. Green's ap
proach, temporarily closed their estab
lishments and disappeared until he had
vanished over the horizon.
Next the fighter of the demon rum
rriade a tour of the state, visiting Top
penish, Tulallp and lastly the circle of
little towns surrounding the Colvllle
Reservation. At Toppenish he got a pro
mise of assistance, at Tulallp nothing
was accomplished, but at Daisy, Creston,
Alma and other little places bordering
the Colvllle Reservation, Mr. Green met
with more success and managed to se
cure the arrest and conviction of some
whites who had sold liquor to unallotted
Indians. He lost more cases than he won
and some of the most persistent sellers
to the Indians slipped through his fin
gers. Varied Success in Idaho.
After spending three months in Wash
ington, Mr. Green went over into ),daho
to chase the demon off the Nez Perce
Reservation. Mr. Green says that the
liquor traffic among Indians is worse at
Fort Lapwal than at any place he ever
stopped. He made trouble for one sa
loonkeeper who had sold liquor to an
Indian. Mr. Barkeep was arrested,
taken Into court and fined $5. Mr. Green
regarded this penalty as a travesty on
Justice, but he kept at It, and finally had
two more arrests made, one of the .men
being dismissed; the other paying a fine
of $25 upon pleading guilty. This con
tinued for several weeks, Mr. Green
meanwhile visiting all the towns lying
around the reservation.
While on his rounds, Mr. Green ex
perienced an awful Jolt. He preferred
the charge of selling liquor to an In
dian against a certain saloon man; the
case went into court, and the man's
license was revoked, though no fine was
imposed. Immediately thereafter the
local Justice of the peace secured the
license taken from the culprit and em
ployed the original owner of the saloon
to operate it for him. He promised,
however, that no liquor would thereafter
be sold to Indians.
Proposes New Measures.
In his report Mr. Green says Idaho
has a very fine law prohibiting the sale
of liquor to Indians, but, as in Wash
ington, the law is not enforced. Under
its provisions a penalty as high as $600
or six months' imprisonment may be
Imposed, or .both, but fthe law does not
apparently give concern to the local au
thorities. Mr. Green thinks that special repre
sentatives of the department should be
detailed to Washington and Idaho to
watch for liquor cases, so that the local
authorities can be compelled to enforce
the law. He would have these repre
sentatives well paid. Incidentally and
finally, he closes his report with a
recommendation that his own salary be
Increased, and cites his work in Washing
ton and Idaho as the Justification therefor.

RICH FIELD FOR CROOKS
Kennel Maid Plucks Over Forty
Thousand Dollars.
London Cable Dispatch in New York
Times.
J. Pierpont Morgan's name has again
been taken, but this time not in vain,
by Mrs. Josephine Leslie, who is under
arrest charged with having used it in
obtaining f8500 on false pretenses from
Miss Blount of Dublin. The accused
woman was employed last Summer in
a house which Miss Blount visited as
a "kennel maid," to care for a lot of
pet dogs. The "kennel maid" confided
to Miss Blount that Jhe was acquainted
with J. P. Morgan, and one day read a
letter she said had come from him, in
which was this passage:
"You are a wealthy woman, but I
intend to make you a great . deal
wealthier."
The maid's husband called for her
soon afterward and took her to London,
where she invited Miss Blount to visit
her in her hotel In South Kensington.
Miss Blount did visit her, and finally
took rooms In the same hotel. One day
in March, according to the complaint.
Miss Leslie said:
"I have some wonderful news. J.
Pierpont Morgan has written to me to
put my money in a syndicate he has
gotten up with four or five of the
wealthiest men in America. I have put
in -60,000. If you want to put in
1000 you'll receive a profit of 25,000
and 12 per cent interest."
Miss Blount put in 1000 and Mrs.
Leslie gave her a check for 25,000,
payable June 10. Later Miss Blount put
in more money and received a check
for 200.000, payable In April, 1908.
Her suspicions were aroused, she said,
when, on presenting the f25,000 check,
it was returned, marked "Account
closed." Miss Blount consulted lawyers
and the arrest of Mrs. Leslie followed.

But the hands grew no better. After

"Did you tell your mamma about the

The child looked up, solemn-eyed.
"The hands can't be chapped. Mamma

the following statement today:
"The American proposition regarding
the collection of contractual pecuniary

ROSEBURG DISCOVERS " MAX
WITH TOO MAXY WIVES.
Henry W. Johnson Seems to
Have Disastrous Penchant for
Marrying Different Women.
ROSEBURG, Or., July 28. (Special.)
Henry W. Johnson, groom of one week,
is spending the eighth night of a remark
able honeymoon In the Roseburg jail.
Miss Percy Hoffman, of Portland, a for
mer flnancee of Johnson, is detained at a
hotel In the custody of the sheriff, await
ing further developments. It appears that
Johnson, after marrying a young woman
at Vancouver. Wash., a week ago.
changed his mind in the course of three
days and departed in company with Miss
Hoffman. They came direct to Roseburg
and thence headed inland, locating at
j-ieona, near Drain, where Johnson se
cured a position in the lumber mills. It
Is learned that Johnson has a wife in the
East, not to mention his lately deserted
bride, who is heartbroken in her home
at Vancouver, and the matter has been
taken up by the police departments at
Portland and Vancouver.
According to the facts In the case as
stated to the Roseburg authorities, the
local Brigham Young led the young
woman to the altar barely a week ago
at Vancouver, at which place the groom
was employed as a mill foreman. Thgir
domestic outlook appeared to be of the
brightest, until the newly-made husband
failed to put in his appearance for sup
per on the evening of the third or fourth
day. Mrs. Johnson later made the dis
covery that her husband had eloped. Miss
Hoffman is said bv the police to have
been engaged to marry Johnson, for at
least ten months prior to th6 Vancouver
marriage, which, of course, was not valid,
since Johnson has a wife in the East,
the authorities say.
Now Johnson might have got away had
he not been mercenary as well as fickle.
He induced the companion of his elope
ment, whom he had promised to marry
at his earliest convenience, to write to
her family at Portland and appeal for
funds. Miss Hoffman did so, and the
relatives. Instead of sending money as
requested, went at once to the Portland
police, who communicated with the Van
couver authorities, and thence with Rose
burg. An arrest warrant was sent on
here, and an officer made the pilgrimage
to the settlement of Leona. There was
a tragic scene when the twain were
seized. After many tears had been shed
by both, the Sheriff took them to Rose
burg, where Johnson was confined in the
jail and Miss Hoffman was quartered in
a hotel, pending the arrival of an officer
from Portland or Vancouver.
Johnson is a middle-aged man with
sandy hair, reddish complexion and a
small amount of good looks. Miss Hoff
man is considerably younger and comely.
Diplomacy of "Fighting Bob."
Harper's.
A good many false Impressions about
men are bred by their conversational
habits or their letter-writing talent.
There is "Bob" Evans, for example.
Some people once called him "Fight
ing Bob," and he promoted the concep
tion that was formed from that un
enviable term by picturesquely pur
ple talk and letters. But, as a matter
of fact, there is no more tactful, po
lite and cautious officer in the Navy
than Evans. Once in Alexandria he
was comfortably anchored in an ad
mirable berth, when the British fleet
entered under the command of one of
the Seymours. The flashshlp signalled
to the others that an American ship
was accupying the epot which the ad
miral Intended for his own ship.
Evans, reading the signals through
his glass, set his sails, reversed, and
backed out, to become the friend of
the British admiral forever after.
Schley, the tactful and the tactician
sent his men ashore in Chile, whose
people then wanted to destroy the
United States; a row followed, and a
United States boatswain was killed.
The "blustering" Evans In the Yankee
would not grant shore liberty to any
man of his fleet. He was too cautious.
A very sedate officer, one whose fame
for caution is still prevalent in the
service. Insisted upon preferring
charges against Schley, but the "hasty"
Evans advised that it should not be,
for "politics" would defeat them. Of
all men who shouldn't be taken on
their face, but on their deeds. Evans,
and other sailormen are among the
most conspicuous. Observe, too, how
many different kinds of Presidents
have affected him. Haye was a com
panion: Cleveland shot snipe with him;
Roosevelt admires him. The only Sec
retary of the Navy who did not like
him was William E. Chandler.
Willie Didn't Take a "Dare."
Harper's.
Although Johnnie's and Willie's
mothers are warm friends, those boys
are always fighting each other.
After a recent battle the victorious
Johnnie was urged by' his mother to
go and make friends with his fallen
foe. She even offered to give him a
party if he would go over and invite
Willie to come to that festivity.
After much urging Johnnie promised
to do as his mother wished. So the
party came off at the appointed time
and was violently enjoyed by all
present. But Willie did not come.
"Now, Johnnie, you did invite him?"
asked Johnnie's mother.
"Yes, I did! Yes, ma'am, I invited
him!" answered Johnnie. "I invited
him,' he added, reflectively, "and I
dared blm to come."

GQMPANY
FORMED
The Fourth Oregon Is Ushered
Into Existence at
Roseburg-
MAJOR YORAN IN COMMAND
Unanimously Elected to Office.
Some Remarkable Shooting Be
ing Done on- the Rifle Range.
One Perfect Score Made.
ROSEBURG, Or., July 28. (Special.)
Oregon now has another regiment of
state infantry, in consequence of a gen
eral order issued at the rifle range camp
near Roseburg, today, by Adjutant-General
Frazer. With the Southern Oregon
military organizations as a basis, the
new regiment was formally ushered into
existence and will be recruited up to its
full strength as rapidly as possible. Ma
jor George Y. Yoran, of the First Sep
arate Battalion, was selected to the com
mand.
The new regiment Is designated as the
Fourth Oregon Infantry, and its head
quarters will be at Eugene, where two
of the companies and the new Colonel
are stationed. The regimental staff will
be announced later by Colonel Yoran. The
companies assigned to the regiment are
A, B, C and D of the First Separate Bat
talion. Separate Companies B and F, and
Company G, of the Third Infantry.
Major Yoran's Election Unanimous
Consolidation of the Separate Battalion
and unassigned companies into regiment
al form has been under contemplation at
National Guard headquarters ror some
time past. The Southern Oregon com
panies have long since proved their right
to this recognition. The present time for
creating the regiment was selected on
account of the presence of the various
companies In camp, where the officers
could act in the matter of selecting a
commanding officer. Major Yoran's se
lection was unanimous and in fact only a
matter of form so far as his officers were
concerned. He is one of the veterans of
the Guard, and has served as Major of
the Separate Battalion for several years
past. There were no other candidates
suggested for the place. The election was
held at camp, under the supervision of
Colonel James Jackson, Inspector-Gen
eral.
Perfect Score Made on Rifle Range.
All today the 72 contestants In the
Individual Rifle competition ior meaais
offered bv the state have been on the
target range. The competition could not
be completed before dark and will be
continued in the morning. Tomorrow
afternoon the rifle teams will be mus
tered and paid preliminary to breaking
camp. The annual shoot concludes with
the individual contest, which should be
ended by 4 o'clock. If not earlier, bev
eral excellent records were made today.
The most remarkable record was that
of Private B. F. Shields, ot Koseburg
who did not loose a single point in
rapid fire work at 200 yards. Firing
ten shots Private Shields made a duiis-
eye each time. His score was 60 points
out of a possible 60. captain r. a.
Hamblin won the skirmish run. This
event proved a spirited and interesting
spectacle. The firing was done as near
ly as possible under the conditions that
would confront a rifleman In advanc
ing on a hostile force. Starting 600
yards from the target, the skirmishers
ran forward firing at will at tagets rep
resenting the head and si-olders of a
soldier. With no time for deliberate
aiming and with the range necessarily
shifted each Instant the requirements
for accurate shooting were greater than
under any other conditions. Captain
Hamblin's score was 67 out of a pos
sible 100. (
Gold Medal to Be Awarded.
To the marksman making the high
est aggregate score in skirmish, slow
and rapid firing over short and long
ranges, a solid gold medal, appropri
ately Inscribed, will be presented by the
state. It is for this medal that the
competitors are working. To those
making the best showing in one line of
shooting, sliver medals will be given.
At the close of today's shooting. Cor
poral R. L. Perdew, of Eugene, is in
the lead for the gold medals. He has
made 146 points out of a possible 200.
Private H. Dickie, of H Company, of
Portland, is a close second, with 145
points. Sergeant V. S. Howard, Port
land holds third place with 138. Lieu
tenant G. E. Houck. of Roseburg is
fourth, with 137, while two men claim
fifth place. Sergeant J. A. xtoyle and Cor
poral Frazier, each having 136. The
contest will be resumed in the morning
at 8 o'clock and will continue without
interruption until completed.
