Few Adjectives Indirectly.
MARSHK1ELD, Mass., Aug. 22. So
called extension of the executive au
thority was strongly deprecated in an
address delivered by Congressman
Samuel McCall this afternoon at the
Marshfleld Fair Grounds. Referring to
recent Governmental prosecutions, he
said the tine of the Standard Oil Com
pany for the offense of accepting dis
criminating; rate was probably not
greatly exceeded by all other fines im
posed by the Federal Courts since the
establishment of the Government.
Mr. McCall asked why old laws were
enforced rather than new ones de
manded, and pointed out that at the
time when Congress was asked to con
fer upon an executive department pow
er to flx a rate, there then reposed
upon the statute bookB the very act
against rebates and discriminations
whereunder this $30,000,000 fine was
imposed.
lie Fears Central Power.
"The practice in the Government,"
said Mr. McCall, "of expending the
maximum amount of noise and disturb
ance to secure the "minimum of good
may be diverting, but it is costly. I
believe the Populistic agitation started
by the rate bill, far more than the
legislation which resulted therefrom,
has financially and industrially injured
the country. If a similar public senti
ment had been created 6S years ago,
many of our great commonwealth
would today be unsettled areas.
"The effect of the rate bill will be
to augment the executive power be
yond all rational limits. The tendency
of the times appears to be to central
ize all power at Washington, and then
have It all exercised by one man. I say
let the people keep all governmental
powers not necessary to the preserva
tion of the unity and safety.

President who is egotistic, impulsive,
of immature judgment a limelight

your country be. Instead of a truly

IXSAXE MAX SCARES CITIZEXS
Resists Arrest Strenuously Found
to Be Drug Fiend.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 22. (Spe
cial.) Citizens of Fourth Plain, a few
miles east of here, were given a sensation
last evening by a man who appeared to
be either drunk or violently insane. The
man was hardly able to talk but he would
stop at a house make threatening gestures
and emit unintelligible sounds in a hoarse
gutteral voice and after creating consider
able of a scare, would leave only to ap
pear a little later at another house in the
neighborhood and go through the same
performance.
About 8 o'clock the man disappeared.
No one knows where he spent the night
but this morning he came again. Upon
his reappearance Mr. Stonehou.se, whom
he had favored with a visit the night
before, telephoned to the Sheriff . and
Deputy Sheriff George Johnson was sent
for him. He refused to go with the
deputy and it was only after consider
able struggle that he was finally put into
the rig. Then he had to be strapped to
the seat while being brought to the Jail
here.
After an investigation the Sheriff finds
that the man is William Bailey, formerly
of Portland, that he is addicted to the
drug habit and it is probably the drugs
or the lack of them that caused his In
sanity. Two years ago he was captured
in this county in one of these spells of
insanity. After spending six months in
the County Jail he appeared to be rational
and was discharged.

Week.
CORVALLIS. Or., Aug. 22. (Special.)
It is estimated that nine-tenths of the
people of Benton County will visit Cor
vallis the last three days of next week.
The occasion is the All-Benton School
Fair, and another estimate is that nine
tenths of the school pupils of the county
will be in the parade for review by Gov
ernor Chamberlain." It is also expected
that Senator Fulton will occupy a place
on the reviewing aand. Both are to make
addresses during the fair, as will also
Superintendent J. H. Ackerman, Presi
dent Kerr and others..
The exhibits of agricultural products,
sewing, cooking, canned fruits. vege
tables, drawing and other school work
will be at the County Courthouse. One
hundred American flags, 6 by 10 feet, are
among the decorations. An electric light
illumination, with red. white and blue
effects, extending along Main street and
to and including the Courthouse and
park, will be another feature. A balloon
ascension, with parachute jump, takes
place on the first two of the three days
of the fair, which begins August 29. A
city of tents, with Corvams mountain
water and fuel free to the farmers
camped there, is one of the features.

New York Leaders Fight Over
Hughes and Taft.
MOVE TO INDORSE OHIOAN
Woodruff and Parsons Lead In Sup
porting Big Secretary, but Page
Will Revive Resolution In
Favor of Governor.
NEW YORK, Aug. IS. The Times to
day says:
Trouble is already brewing in the Re
publican State Committee over the re
ported promise of Chairman Woodruff
and County Chairman Herbert Parsons
to deliver a Taft delegation from this
state at the National Convention. There
are indications that the meeting of the
committee on September 26 will be even
stormier than was the last meeting, at
which Governor Odell introduced his fa
mous Hughes resolution. The outcome
Is regarded as very uncertain.
It was ascertained yesterday that State
Senator Page is at war with the two
leaders who have pledged their support
to the President's candidate, and that he
is already busy striving with some of the
members of the committee. He proposes
at the meeting in question that a motion
shall be made to take the Odell resolu
tion indorsing Governor Hughes off the
table. He hopes, between now and the
date of the meeting, to win over a suf
ficient number of the committeemen to
insure a fight on the resolution, and, with
the aid of the Odell contingent, to pass
it. despite the opposition of Woodruff,
Parsons and their adherents.
Hughes and Roosevelt at War.
In some quarters the activity of Sena
tor Page is taken as a hint that there is
to be war between Mr. Hughes and
President Roosevelt over the New York
machine. The Governor's friends assert
that it is not that he is seeking the
Presidential nomination himself, but that
he would prefer to see the delegation
from this state to the convention repre
sent the wishes of the people of the
state rather than the dictates of a boss.
Mr. Woodruff is in for a lot of trouble
at the committee meeting, no matter
whether Mr. Page succeeds in his en
deavor or not. The Odell resolution in
favor of Mr. Hughes is certain to oe an
issue, and the activities of the Senator,
who represented, the Governor at the
State Convention last year, even if un
successful in the main, are sure to result
in the resolution receiving stronger sup
port than it obtained at the last meeting.
It is practically certain, therefore, that
Mr. Woodruff and probably Mr. Parsons
as well will be put in a position in which
they will have to declare themselves
either pro-Hughes or anti-Hughes, which
Is precisely what neither wants to do.
Odell Overjoyed at Fight.
The Odell faction is Jubilant over the
outlook. Messrs. Woodruff and Parsons
have already been sufficiently embar
rassed bv thA lnplr nf nnlrnnaffa fr ma-

that the state chairman is holding the
little power that is left to him. The
Odell men hope at the committee meet
ing to deprive him of pretty much all of
tnat power and then go anead and recon
struct the machine, with Odell or an
Odell man running things.
Mr. Woodruff, at Nantucket, has spent
a week with William Barnes. Jr., leader
of Albany County, following the confer
ence which both men had with the Presi
dent last Monday. They have been dis
cussing the non-partisan ticket plan for
the Court of Appeals Judgeship nominees
this Fall, and the preliminary work of
obtaining a Taft delegation from this
state. It is said that Mr.. Barnes is to
see to It that Albany and Erie Counties
are in line. Mr. Woodruff will deliver
Kings and Queens, Mr. Parsons is to be
held responsible for Manhattan. Nas
sau, the President's own county, will look
after itself.-
With these counties safe, the President,
Woodruff and Barnes expect to enforce
the unit rule and make the state dele
gation solid. Knowing tnis, both Senator
Page and the Odell men will proceed to
attack the Woodruff -Parsons-Barnes
forces in the sections referred to.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22. (Special.)
Customs Collector Stratton fined the
steamer Asia $1000 yesterday, for violat

earnestly cogitating the dilemma whether
to remit the fine or 'assume the punish

or the other, for he caused the vessel to
break the law. but the wily captain de
manded and obtained a cash deposit, and
if the Secretary does not remit the fine
J1000 on the Straus expense account will
find its way to Uncle Sam's Treasury via
the San Francisco Custom-House.
Mf. Stratton fined the Asia for bringing
the Straus family from Honolulu here.
One of the marine statutes prohibits a
foreign vessel carrying passengers from
one American port to another. Mr. Strat
ton smiled broadly when he assessed the
fine, which is J300 each fr the Secretary,
Mrs. Straus, their son. Private Secretary
Wood and a traveling companion. He
pointed out the section which provides
that the fine may be remitted by the Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor, if he
thinks the offense unintentional.
"It's up to Straus," said the Collector
when the ship's agents asked about miti
gating circumstances.
"Yes, it's up to Straus." remarked the
Asia's captain. "We've got his thousand.
If he does not remit it. why, we will pay
with his money." And a foehorn nur

corridors.
