ROYAL BLOOD
MURDERER'S
Frank Constantine Boasts of
Descent From Italian
Kings. ;
TELLS STORY OF CRIME
Bays Mrs. Gentry, Unhappy With
Husband, AVanted to Flee With
Him and Being Refused Cut
Her Own Throat.
CHICAGO. Sept. 20. Frank J. Con
stantine, on trial for i the murder of
Mrs. Loulso Gentry, took the stand In
Uis own defense today. He showed ab
solute composure and testified without
hesitation. He said that, when he en
gaged a room in the Gentry home, he
told Mrs. Gentry that his father was
& wealthy real estate man.
"Did you ever tell them you were of
royal blood?"
"I did. I am a descendant from
Italian royalty."
Constantine declared he had heard"
Mr. and Mrs. Gentry quarreling many
times. On the day of the tragedy, he
told Mrs. Gentry he was about to
leave the city, and she persisted in
asking him to take her with him. He
positively refused. Then she, accord
In to his story, picked up the razor
with which he had been shaving and
rut her own throat. He declared that
he carried her down to the door of
Dr. Doherty's office, pounded on the
door and then left her standing there,
while he ran for another doctor.
He said that he noticed, wltile hunt
ing for this second "doctor, that there
was blood on the sleeve of his coat and
he thought that. If he returned, he
would be accused of the murder and
would not receK-e justice in the court
because he was a stranger In the city.
He had always since wanted to give
himself up. but had been dissuaded by
the members of his family.
The state introduced letters from
Mrs. Gentry to her husband, shortly
before her death, showing her devo
tion to him. Constantine on cross-examination
refused to Identify letters
signed with the names of his sister,
found In' his room after his flight.
He also repudiated a letter from his
mother, found in his pocket at the
time of his arrest.
He was asked to take the razor
with which Mrs. Gentry was killed and
Indicate how she had drawn it across
her throat. He refused and woujd not
touch the razor.

was reported as being mentally defective.
A subpoena was issued early In the week

lagher, and that when summoned to ap
pear shf curs-ed the court, and declared
she would not obey the order-;
She was not in court yesterday, and
Judge Frater Issued a bench warrant for

her in. She fought so desperately that
the police manacled her hands and then
she kicked at the officers all the way
from her home on Minor avenue, near

she was sent back home. The child will
be taken to the home for defective youth

LOS ANGELES WILL APPEAL
New Lumber Rates Prevent Eastern
Trade in Oregon Lumber. .
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Sept. 20. The ex
pected rise in the freight rate on lumber
to Eastern points from Los Angeles came
today and local dealers will appeal to the
Interstate Commerce Commission against
what they term the exorbitant charges.
The increases in the schedule, which are
to take place October 1, are as follows:
To Chicago, 10 cents; to Mississippi
River points. 12'2 cents; to Missouri River
poirits, about 15 cents.
It Is said that - these rates Work a
heavy hardship upon shippers who, be
cause of lack of railroad facilities, are un
able to ship their product direct to the
East by" rail from Oregon and Washing
ton. They have been shipping largely
by water to Southern ports and then re
whipping by rail from here, but'' the in
crease in freight rates makes this route
impossible.

The evening of October 17, 1!06, there
took place the most sensational, event In
the history of Parhamism ,until the
present case. At a Parham meeting In
Zion City 24 converts were overcome by
an alleged visitation of a ' "gift of

began speaking In foreign languages,
with which they had not had the slightest

Since that time the Parhamites have
not gained great publicity, but the growth

steady.
Parham, the head of the sect, is not in
Zion City now but is expected back
shortly by his followers. The present
leaders In Zion City are' said to be men
known as "brother Tom" and "Deacon

VERY RARELY SUCCEEDS
Regulation Vnder Strict Laws Better
AVay to Manage Public Utilities
Is Opinion of Speaker at
. Municipalities Conference.
NORFOLK. Va., Sept. 20. Major Barry
Mahool. of Baltimore, was unanimously
elected president of the League of Amer
ican Municipalities. The convention ad
journed after selecting Omaha for the
1108 convention over Los Angeles and
other cities. r
Municipal ownership constituted the
principal subjectof. discussion at the
closing session. Edward A. Moffatt,
secretary of the National Civic Federa
tion's investigating: committee gave an
address on municipal ownership His.
strong address was answered by Pres
ident Dunne, of Chicago, who advo
cated the municipal ownership idea.
Tn the absence of II. J. Gonden, of
Chicago, a paper prepared by him In
opposition to municipal ownership was
rpad by Courtman Young, of Kansas
City.
The advartr of municipal ownership and op
eration of public utilities in the United Stateo
and Canada has ben due in a great measure
to emotional prejudice and error in estimating
financial results. The ownership and opera
tion of utilities are matter of pure economics.
They are most emphatically- not moral ques
tions, despite the efforts to make It appear so.
Who owns and operates public utilities i
trvlal compared to how they are operated.
Success Depends on Capacity.
In finding thaf'the success of municipal op-
ration of public utilities depends upon the
existence in the city of a high capacity for
municipal government the investigating com
mittee of the National Civic Federation in its
nearly unanmous rpyiort stated a great truth.
This "hiph capacity" f.r municipal government
has yt to he established in America. The.
fault is rot In the public official but in the
people, too much concerned in personal Affairs
to give public officials proper attention, sup
port and encouragement.
Fairly succwful municipal operation Is pos
sible when all conditions are favorable and
public interest In the subject Is fresh, vigor
ous and wholesome. Such interest, however,
soon wears out in actual practice.
Try Regulation First.
Public utilities represent a real problem. If
other methods than municipal ownership can
solve the problem more satisfactorily, it is
nothing less than absurd to contend for tne
theory as mere doctrine, since in its very best
guise it has obvious weaknesses and disquali
fications. It -is- only recently that we have discovered
-some of the latent powers of our forms of
popular government. Ten years ago laws like
the pubJlc utilities acts of New York and
Wisconsin would have been regarded as im
possible. True, countless efforts have been
made before to regulate and control corpora
tions of different kind?. Failures to get good
results caused these attempts to become objects
of derision. Under these conditions the theory
of municipal -ownership waxed fat and hearty.
Ownership Xo Automatic Remedy.
That the.murtlcipal ownership wave has done
good as a punishment and a warning i not to
be denied. .Perhaps the greatest evil remain
ing lies In the widespread and assiduously nur
tured impression that the scheme is, potentially
meritorious and-susceptible to universal appli
cation, r There may be places a very few
where it is a good thing to hold in reserve
over corporations holding long-time franchises
or "perpetual" rifirhts, or where the admission
of other corporations of the same kind Is not
feasible.. But the American public should be
rescued from the idea that municipal owner
ship is an automatic remedy for various muni
cipal ilfs fas the Civic Federation's committee
Insists it !s not), and taught the truth. The
truth is nothing more nor leas than that suc
cessful municipal ownership under a form of
popular government la extremely hard to at
tain. It must be the product of conditions not
found In the average American city and rightly
classed as abnormal.
We are entering on 'an era. I believe, wi.en
the former derUion of our governmental efforts
to regulate corporations will be forgotten by
the successful and satisfactory regulation of
these corporations by properly constituted au
thorities. .-Backed by well defined and earnest
sentiment, there Is no ground to fear that any
law or set of laws will not be rigidly en
forced. In the past the methods towards
regulation have been, crude and ineffective,
because both officials and people recognized
the crudenesrt. , New methods are being per
fected and the support of the body politic as
sures thorough execution. .
Corporations at Law's Mercy.
A public service corporation under statutes
such as exist in New York and Wisconsin is
absolutely at the mercy of agenta of the law,
equipped with adequate devices to secure obe
dience. The capital Invested in the.e cor
porations does not wtah to be devoured In
whole or in part. The only alternative lies In
treating the public fairly in the matter of
prices and service and living up to the law,-
This plan certainly Is sounder and more apt
to produce the results expected than the adop
tion of municipal ownership with Its attendant
eonfusion of direction, susceptibility to "prac
tical" politics, usual (financial losses and not
unusual Inefficiency. All that municipal own
ership can hope to save a community in a
monetary, sense are the "profits, which are
thought to be making the stockholders of serv
ice corporations rich. It Is a matter of com
mon knowledge that these profits are being
and have been reduced to slender margins,
and with many companies, wiped out alto
gether. The inability of municipal plants to
buy supplies, materials, brains or labor as
cheaply as private industries more than over
comes this margin.
SHALL THEY FUSE OR NDT?
QVESTIOX FOR SAX FRANCISCO
DEMOCRATS TO DECIDE.
Convention Will A'ote Tonight.
Union Labor Party Under Boss
McCarthy Rejects Fusion.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 20. (Special.)
The -city of San. Francisco-is on tip
toe, awajtlhg the action of. the Demo
cratic municipal . convention, which will
meet tomorro.w: , night. The ' Republican
and Uniom Labor parties have gone on
record, the former for fusion and the
latter against'. it, so it remains for the
Democratic party to decide the issue.
The politicians of the party are against
fusion, but the voting rank and file have
been .loud in their cry for "citizenship
above" partisanship." ;l
Should the- Democrats decide upon fu
sion Vith the Republicans, the joint
candidate for Mayor would be either Ed
ward R. Taylor, the incumbent, or Daniel
A. Ryan, leader of the Republican forces.
The overwhelming sentiment throughout
the city is for fusion,; but the machine
politicians of all three parties have vig
orously opposed it.
The Republican convention wac the first
to meet. , Pad ;1 A. Byant tha young at.
OH
torney - who routed the Herrin forces at
the primary, was the party choice for
Mayor, but instead of nominating him,
the convention adopted a resolution call
ing for the selection of a conference com
mittee to meet with like committees from
the X'nion. Labor and Democratic parties
to agree on a single ticket or at least
upon candidates for Mayor and District
Attornoy.
The Union Iabor party met last night
and P. H. McCarthy, president of the
Building Trades Council, captured the
convention and refused even to consider
a- resolution looking to fusion. Mr. Mc
Carthy is now as complete boss of the
ITnion IHbor party as ever Ruef was. It
Is Mr. McCarthy's plan to force the Re
publicans and Democrats into fuKion and.
taking advantage of the class antagonism
stirred up by the recent strikes, . carry
the Union Labor party through to vic
tory. McCarthy has not yet decided
whether to run himself or to select some
one else as candidate for Mayor.
When the Democrats meet tomorrow
night a resolution calling for fusion
will be introduced. This will be the
beginning and not the end of the dif
ficulty. Some of the delegates will
support fusion with the Republicans
and others will ask that attempts be
made to ' Join with the Union Labor
party. Should a committee be named
to meet with the Republicans, the
Democrats would Insist upon the nom
ination of Dr. Taylor, and the Repub
licans would stand firm for Mr. Ryan.
To complicate matters further, the
Good Government League has circu
lated petitions in behalf of Dr. Tay
lor and his name will appear upon the
ballot as an independent candidate.
Dr. Taylor is not an active candidate,
but is sincere when he says that he
would feel it his duty to run in case
any considerable body of citizens
should desire him to do so.
As to the nomination of District At
torney Langdon, there is little doubt.
He Is at outs with the Democratic
machine, but will at any rate get the
nomination from the Republicans.
While all this maneuvering is going
on in the political conventions, ther
is an overwhelming sentiment among
the conservative elements of . all par
ties for the election of both Dr. Tay
lor and Mr. Langdon. The chief op
position to them comes from those ma
chine politicians who recognize that
they will be severed from their Jobs,
the self-seeking labor politicians, and
the indicted plutocracy.
EUGEHE IN NEED OF LABOR
SCARCITY OF WORKIXGMEJV
BLOCKS IMPROVEMENTS.
Building Boom Greatest In History
of City Contractors Will Work
Throughout Winter.
EUGENE.. Or.. Sept. 30. (Special.) En
gone has probably never experienced be
fore such a lack of help .in all depart
ments where labor is needed. While this
fact has resulted in the payment of very
high wages to labor. It is noticeable on
every hand that the material advance
ment Cf this city, which during the pres
ent Summer has been by far the greatest
in Eugene's history, would have easily
doubled, had the men to do the work
been available.
The shortage -of help has not been con
fined to the day laborer and the farm
hand, but the question, of domestic help
is fully as baffling. The only place where
help seems to be plentiful is in the stores,
where many girls and women seem avail
able. -
The indications are strong now that
further paving, after the present con
tracts have been completed, cannot be
done In Eugene this season. The main
reason for this is the impossibility of
securing men. even at the highest wages.
Ever since the paving work was begun
here the company have been short of
hands, and have employed boys at .men's
wages. The prices paid for day laborers
have increased from 20 to 30 per cent and
it is doubtful if twice the wages offered
would have secured a great increase in
the number of laborers,- as everybody
seems to have too much to do. As much
paving as has been done would be com.
pleted this Kail at the prices paid on
Willamette could the arrangement have
been made.
The same conditions have applied and
continue to apply to the work on the
Eugene intorurban railway. although
with the force of boys and men at work
very good progress is being made. But
instead of having the track' completed to
the University by the middle of this
month, the work would have been
finished to Springfield by this time, could
the crews have been secured. ' Instead of
having full crews at work on the track
work, at the new car barns and on sur
veys they are doing the best they can
with a few men at each place.
Scores of people- who are ready aod
apxious to put up residences in different
parts of the city, have given the matter
up for the season,' as there " is so much
building that all available carpenters and
mechanics are. employed.
Reports from contractors show that
there will be no slack season for build
ing during the Winter and unless more
help is secured by Spring, next Summer
will be a repetition of this as far as
building Is concerned, for there are more
business houses and dwellings under con
tract to be built in the near future than
there are at present under construction.
Next year will be by far the greatest
building year Eugene has ' ever known,
and there are contracts already signed up
that would employ twice the number of
mechanics at- present available for 12
months.
