THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1907. 7 ANTS SWORN TO AGAINST BAR Dr. Matthews Takes First Step in Closing the Meadows. WARM LETTERS WRITTEN Correspondence Between Preacher and Prosecuting Attorney Brings Out Pact Thai Members of Congregation. Hold Stock. SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 22. (Special.) Dr. M. A. Matthews, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church and the most promi nent minister in this state, this afternoon wore to warrants charging Frank Clancy with conducting an illegal bar at the iMeadows. Clancy -will be arrested and i Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth Macintosh i will prosecute the case. The warrant 'has been Issued after an exchange of let ters between, the County Attorney and the divine which bristled with Innuendo and counter charges of neglect of moral as well as official duty. Matthews Makes Charges. Dr. Matthews, heading a church organi sation determined to wipe out the race track, has accused the county authorities Of maladministration in failing to prose cute the illicit bar at the race track. In response. Prosecuting Attorney Macin tosh submitted a list of stockholders in the race track, which includes the names -of half a dozen et the most prominent i Seattle business firms identified with which are members of Dr. Matthews con gregation. The County Attorney suggested that Matthews plead with his partshoners for relief. In reply Matthews denounced the County Attorney for overlooking facts In his possession and urged him to prose cute. Immediately after giving out this letter for publication, Matthews capitu lated and swore to the warrant for Clan cy's arrest. . Local Papers. Drawn In. Included in Attorney Mackintosh's let ter is an accusation that a local news paper has successfully blackmailed the race track and that falling to procure a larger fund conferred with Matthews and furnished him most of the facts in his possession. Matthews denies all knowledge of this fact but invites Mackintosh to prosecute trie newspaper people. The closing of the bar at the Meadows, which will be resisted by Its owner, is the first step in the crusade to close the track, which cannot succeed until the legislature amends the laws of this state, which legalize betting on races. A com bination between church and anti-gambling elements is working to that end now. The bar pays the fair association $300 a day for its privilege. Because the track is located within a mile of the city no legal license can be granted. TAFT'S REVISION POLICY (Continued from First Pane.) makes them familiar with the facts and who have no motive for misrepresenta tion, adopt such a report as the one I have quoted from, it makes a case for investigation into the existing tariff by Congress for the purpose of determining how much revision is needed. "The investigation in the end will be conducted by the committee of ways and means of the House of Representatives and by the finance committee of the Sen ate. The schedules are for them to rec ommend and for Congress to fix after they hear evidence of the cost of produc tion in this country and thecost of pro duction abroad, and the conditions exist ing in each trade, and if it shall turn out that popular opinion founded on such substantial evidence as that which I have cited here should prove to be unfounded, then the revision of the tariff will be confined to minor inequalities. But if the result of the investigation Justifies the report of the National Association of Manufacturers, then the revision of the excessive schedules should be substantial, and the motive for the organization and maintenance. of unlawful trusts to monop olize the manufacture and sale of articles In such schedules will be taken away. '"Objection is made to revision on the ground that we are enjoying business prosperity, tljat this will be disturbed by a proposal to. change the tariff, and that We should wait until hard times before we revise. I cannot follow the argument. The revision proposed is to be by the Re publican party and is not to be a de parture from the protective principle, but In conformity with it. It will affect mly those perspns injuriously who are making an unreasonable profit out of an exces sive rate. The present prosperity is not dependent on such a profit. ' If it were, ithen It would not be the prosperity of the whole business community, but only of a few unduly favored at the expense of the community. In the present tem per of the people general prosperity has not prevented the remedying of other abuses and injustice. I don't know why it should prevent this. "I had occasion in a speech which I de livered at Bath, Me., now about a year ago, to express my individual opinion as In favor of an immediate revision of the tariff, but I there pointed out, and I only refer to It to repeat it and emphasize .it, that the, revision of a tariff- Involves so many different interests the country over as that it could not be undertaken suc cessfully by the Republican party, and therefore ought not' to be undertaken at all, until tne party as a whole is in favor of it. I ventured to express the opinion that the sentiment in favor of a revision In the Republican party was crystallizing to .such a point that in a short time we might expect to have action upon the sub ject. What has happened In the last year lias only served to confirm the view I then expressed, and it now seems to me that even most of the extremists in the matter of the tariff are of opinion that it would be not only unwise, but unsafe, for the party to fail in its next National plat form to pledge itself to a revision of the . tariff as soon after the next Presidential election as possible. Those of us who fa vor immediate revision can well afford to wait until after the next Presidential elec tion in order to. secure substantial acqui escence by all Republicans. Certainly a delay of action for 18 months ought to furnish a reason for no protectionist to Invite the certain business disaster that Democratic revision on free-trade lines (would involve. ilore than thin tuii time should be given for the operation of a new tariff upon the business of the coun try before the people express their opinion of it. The passage of. a bill by the next Congress would mean the consideration by Congress of the tariff in the midst of a Presidential campaign, with all the opportunity., for ' misrepresentation' of its effect which its practical operation for a year or more would refute. Furthermore, with a Presidential election four years re moved, we can count on a revision less affected by political considerations than if made in the heat of a National campaign. Regulation of Railroads. Mr. Taf t went into detail on the Roose velt railroad policy, with which he dif fers only on minor points. He advocated Federal Incorporation of railroads. Federal regulation of railroad secur ities, revision of freight classification by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion and pooling of traffic subject to the Commission's -approval. He rec ommended an income tax and grad uated inheritance tax, criminal prose cution of illegal trusts and imprison ment of their officers when public opinion is ripe for such action. He an swered Mr. Bryan's statement that Mr. Roosevelt is carrying out Democratic policy by showing how they differ and severely criticised Mr. Bryan's scheme of National initiative and referendum. JUST AN IXSIGXIFICAXT TAIIt Taft Tells Southern Democracy Its Relation to Party. LEXINGTON, Ky.. Aug. 22. With a discussion of the race problem, general political issues from the Southern stand point and an appeal to Kcntuckians and others to come to the aid of the Repub lican party in support of those princi ples which he believed they favored, Sec retary of War William W. Taft today opened the Republican state campaign in this city. Calling attention to what be called the South's kick in representation in the councils of the Nation, he de clared that this was true because one single issue has made it the perpetual tail of the Democratic party, so that, however small the Northern head. It wags that tail. The South has permitted the shadows of an issue that circumstances ought long ago to have removed from political con troversy, to bipd it solidly to the Demo cratic party no matter what principles or candidates that party has adopted. He called attention to the propensity of Kentucky's developing industries and agricultural wealth and expressed the belief that many Kentucklans who fa vored a protective tariff had blindly voted the Democratic ticket because of the feel ing on the race lines. ESCAPED COXVICT RECAPTURED THROUGH SWEETHEART. Gets Away Safely, hut Love for His Former Paramour Finally Lands Him In Jail Again. HELENA. Mont., Aug. 22. (Spe cial.) H. F. Mallon, who made a sen sational escape from the state peni tentiary at Boise, Idaho, on the 19th of July was captured at Whieflsh by Chief of Police Mullln. . Mallon tells an interesting story of his escape. He was out with the prison guards doing some work, and seeing his chance, made a dash for his liberty. The guards with the blood hounds were after htm In a short time but by swimming the river and making a 75-mile hike with only scanty rai ment to protect him from the elements, and only a crust of bread he found along the railroad track for food, he succeeded in reaching a sheepherder's cabin, where he was fitted out with some clothes and a grub stake. H"e went to Butte, and although he had been out of the penitentiary a lit tle less than a month when captured he was wearing fine clothes, a diamond ring end had "plenty of money. His final undoing came by an affection which he had for a woman with whom he used to live, and who he learned was iu Whlteflsh. He telegraphed the woman he was coming for her, but she had take.n up with another man in the meantime, and on receipt of the tele gram turned it over to the police, and when Mallon arrived in Whiteflsh in stead of being greeted by his old-time companion he stepped Into the clutches of the law and was landed in Jail. FEELIXG AGAIXST HIXDOOS Vancouver Laborer Acquitted of As sault Upon Native. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 22. (Spe cial.) Frank Martell. and employe of the Pittock and Leadbetter Lumber Company, was arrested last night on a "charge of assaulting a Hindoo. He was haled be fore the Police Court and after an ex haustive examination by the police Judge was discharged. There was much interest shown in the case because of the fact that there is some feeling against the Hindoos, and the assault was to a great extent the out come of racial feeling. There are a num ber of Indian natives employed in the mills and on railroad construction and feeling among the white laborers runs high against them. . FIRST BRICK KILX IX COOS BAY 75,000 Just Completed .and Put on the Market., MARSHFIELD, Or.. Aug. 22. (Special.) J. W.

Jud Smith, third baseman for tha Los Angeles ball team, was laid on the bench for at least six weeks today by an accident that happened to him In the first inning, in which his collar bone of the left side was broken. One man was out and Centerfielder Bur dette, .of Portland, who was on second base, started to steal to third on a pitched ball. Donahue was at bat, and struck out, and ' "Happy" Hogan whipped the ball down to Smith to catch Burdette. The throw was on the left side of Smith, and he stuck out his hand and caught the ball In his gloved hand and completed a double play by tagging Burdette, who ran into Smith's out stretched arm and broke his collar bone. Smith was at once taken to a hospital, and will be out of the game for -a month. This bad accident made no difference In the result, for Red Randolph allowed the Beavers but one hit in any inning, and but two of them reached third base. Pernoll was hit hard.

Coach Murphy of the Portland Rowing Club, is getting his crews in shape for the big Astoria regatta, and from present ap pearances it looks as though the Port land men will be able to carry off every event In which they are entered.

Because of the vaca tion period, several of the men are away and the practice work of the two 'fours has been demoralized to some extent. Coach Murphy Is confident, however, that his men can win without very much more training. They are well instructed in the technical parts of the game, and a few days' hard work before- the races will put them in first-class shape, physically. One of the most important races at the coming regatta will be the senior sculls, between Ed Gloss, of Portland, and Lai rig. of Vancouver. Lalng -defeated the local man at the Seattle regatta, July 4, and is confident that he can do It again. There was some talk of bringing Alex Pape up from California to enter this race, but at present it looks as if the plan had been abandoned. The race, however, between Glass and Lalng will be important and interesting. Buys Sonoma Girl for $30,000. . CHICAGO. Aug. 22.

The examination of Mr. Eaton will be continued tomorrow. Sanderson's Memory Falls. Ex-Supervisor W. W. Sanderson, re called to the stand Tuesday afternoon for cross-examination, seemed pitifully weak and broken as he sat in the witness chair struggling to answer the questions put to him by his inquisitors. As he himself confessed, his memory has been weakened by the strain of severe illness he has undergone during the past few months, and he was forced yesterday to consult a memorandum book In which he had Jotted down the various bribes he re ceived as a Supervisor before he could re spond to the inquiries put to him. The notes had been made, he said, from what he remembered in conjunction with what he read in the papers of the testimony of the other Supervisors at the former trial, and he held the book in his hand and re ferred to It a number of times. while he was on the stand. Sanderson asserted that he knew noth ing of an immunity contract at the time he confessed all his crimes to Mr. Heney in Palo Alto on the night of March 17, and the statement called forth a merciless attack by Mr. Delmas. "Do you mean to say." demanded the latter, "that you voluntarily placed your self by your confession in a position where the prosecuting officers of this county could prosecute you and send you to the State's Prison for a felony?" Did Xot Think Bribery Wrong. Sanderson answered in the negative, and explained with the same evasion that has been employed by a number of the other past masters of boodllng that he did not consider that his acts amounted to any wrong or crime whatever. Mr. Delmas drew from the witness a state ment that he had purchased a quantity of stock in a Palo Alto land company after he had made his confession to Mr. Heney, with . an apparent endeavor to show that the J3000 which Sanderson said he had put into this concern was the same which he had received for his vote on the telephone ordinance. The witness declared, however, that the money came to him from his mother through the sale of some property. Mr. Heney touched another chord of sympathy when he brought out the fact that he anu Sanderson had been school mates 35 years ago and friends ever since that time. He drew answers from the witness which developed for the first time that while the latter was in Arizona last January he himself had gone there in an effort to obtain a confession from him, but had failed to find Sanderson when he called at the ranch where the Supervisor was staying.

Incidentally the committee will seek to find If there was any connection between the facts that Thomas H. Williams is president of the Dean Machine Company and a , former bondsman for Convict Schmitz. It 1s thought the latter fact may have induced the Bchmitz Election Commission to adopt the Dean voting machine at a corresponding profit to Williams' company. GOT ORDERS FROM HIGHER UP Telephojne Auditor's Memory Falls When He Comes to Details. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 22. E. J. dim mer was called again to the stand on the trial ft the Glass case this morning, hut, the attorneys were not ready with their authorities for submission to the Judge as to the threatened punishment for his contumacy in refusing to testify, and the case -went over to next Monday. Samuel A. Monson, bookkeeper for the company, testified that the vouchers han dled by him between October 10. 1905. and March 15, 1906, bore the signatures of the president, and vice-president and the au ditor for the president. The witness said that he would only draw checks on the order of some one higher up, Glass, Ea ton or Zimmer. He could not remember any particular checks, as too many passed through his hands. If there was no voucher accompanying a check, he would show it to Eaton and then either give it to the president or leave it on his deck. All the. stubs and stub checks which might show Individual transactions in the period Involved were burned, de clared Mr. Monson. Mr. Heney asked several times If Glass did not occupy John I. Sabln's old office after the batter's death, but the witness stuck to the opinion that he did not. After cross-examination by Mr. Coogan, in which an effort was made to get the witness to say that Glass had never or dered the drawing of a check, Mr. Heney took the witness again and went through the list of bribes given to the Supervis ors, asking' whether checks were drawn in these amounts either tor the members of the boodllng board or for Halsey, but the witness insisted in each, instance that he had no recollection one way or the other.

Halsey, William M. Abbott. W. I. Brobeck and Rudolph Schmidt for writs of permanent prohibi tion to prevent Judges of the Superior Court from proceeding with the trial of persons Indicted for bribery and other crimes by the Oliver grand Jury. For the petitioners D. M. Delmas, Alex ander C. King and Garrett W. McBnerny argued successively the illegality of the present grand Jury, hence the invalidity of the Indictments on several grounds, chief among them the contention that the inquisitorial body expired by operation of law In January of this year when the list for the selection of the 1907 grand jury was certified and returned. This Is squarely opposed to the view taken by the District Attorney and his assistants in the bribery graft prosecutions that, though the law required the empanelling of a grand jury each year, the Jury re mains in life and power until It is form ally discharged by the superior judge who called it Into being. Mr. McEnerny con cluded this afternoon. Assistant District Attorney William Hoff Cook opened for the respondents, and he will be followed by either Hiram W. Johnson or Charles Cobb, the latter of whom Is Francis J. Hency's law part ner. Should the writ be granted, as prayed for, the hundred odd indictments returned by the Oliver grand Jury against corpora tion officials charged with crimes of brib ery would be all swept away. In that event three courses would be open to the District Attorney to endeavor to. secure new indictments through the new grand Jury, to proceed against the now In dicted men by filing informations in the Superior Court, or to drop the bribery graft prosecutions out of hand.
