TUB MOKXEVU OKEGONlAN. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1907. WHEAT REACHES ' GREATEST VALUE Price of May Delivery Soars to $1.093-4 in Chicago'" Market. FOREIGN SUPPLY SHORT Bulls Charge With Knthuslasm and Prlvo Bears to Despair Price Advances in Kurope and the Demand Is Strong. CHICAGO, Oct. 7. (Special.) Wheat prices soared today, to the great delight of speculators who were so fortunate as to be "long" on the market. The May delivery ascended to S1.09-H. the top price touched on the Board of Trade this year. The market was Inflated with bullish en thusiasm generated by advancing prices in foreign, markets and heavy demands from exporters, due to a shortage in sup plies abroad. Bears struggled in vain to hold prices down and were finally forced to "pocket" severe losses. The pit was thrown into a feverish state of activity by the wild scramble to buy. James A. Patten, once Mayor of Evans ton and one of the "big guns" on the Board, is leader of the bull movement and his firm did most of the buying. However, there was buying by commission-houses generally, an unmistakable, evidence of increased speculative interest. The bulls declare that the anticipated shortage in the world's supplies, which sent prices to Jl last Spring, is now being realized. Europe, they declare, will need every bushel of wheat that this country has to spare for export. The foreigners, they say, will buy regardless of prices until their wants are satisfied. R. W. Kalb ,a member of the Board who returned today from a six month's trip abroad, said that while crops in many . parts of I5urope had turned out better than anticipated last Spring, the for eigners are buying supplies wherever they are to be had. ABOLISH ALL SPECULATION Cotton Conference Takes Steps Looking to This End. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 7. "With dele gates present representing every phase of the cotton industry, the international conference of cotton spinners and grow ers met at the State Capitol building to day for a three day's session. More than 600 delegates were present, nearly 100 of these representing the great mills of Kurope. A lively fight for regulation or prohibi tion of speculative dealings in cotton was Indicated when Congressman Hetlin, of Alabama,- Introduced a resolution asking the conference to memorialize Congress and the British Parliament to stop spe culation in cotton except that actually owned. But the fact that an Investigation following a similar resolution had resulted In a refusal by the British lawmaking body to disturb existing conditions was brought out and a favorable report by the subcommittee to which the matter was finally referred will undoubtedly be accompanied by a vigorous minority re port against any such 'action. (lovernor Hoke Smith, of Georgia in bis address of welcome to the delegates caused much applause by advocating the ginning, compressing and baling of the cotton on the plantation and abolishing the manipulation of the middleman and undoubtedly this feature of the cotton in dustry will receive much attendtion.

State courts have no Jurisdiction to re strain a man from filing on a desert claim under Federal laws nor to order the man to relinquish his tiling. Such is the decision rendered by tWe State Su preme Court in the case of the Colum bia Canal Company against W. L. Ben ham. The order of the King County Court directing Benham to cease his efforts to "prove up on the claim and directing a relinquishment of the filing was set aside by the Supreme Court de cision, which showed that the Washing ton courts have no power to interfere with respect to the filing so long as the title to the land still remains In the Gov ernment. Benham contested the claim of a prior locator, won and personally filed on the land. Benham, under the Federal laws, as a member of the com pany, cannot take up a desert land claim.

TESTIMONY SHOWS IT COMPELS RAILROADS TO BUI". Even Though Independents' Prod ucts Are Satisfactory They Cannot Find Market for Lubricants. NEW YORK. Oct. 7. Testimony that railroads purchased their lubricating oils from the Standard Oil Company at prices that were higher than those of Its com petitors was heard today in the Federal suit for the dissolution of the Standard oil trust. Philip Harrison, manager of the New York Lubricating Oil Company, which has engaged in a long strife with the Standard Oil Company In the lubri cating oil industry, was on the witness stand all day and testified that, though the products of his company had proven satisfactory- to the railroads and were sold at prices under the Standard's figures, the railroads declined to renew their contracts with the New York Lu bricating Oil Company, Mr. Harrison said he was never openly told by the railroad officials why the contracts were not entered into again, but he had a well defined Idea of the cause. Mr. Harrison said that the Vacuum Oil Company, previous to 1894. manufac tured lubricating oil, but that it made an agreement with the Standard whereby It turned all of its lubricating business over to Galena Signal Oil Company, a subsidiary of the Standard. The witness said that his company made a contract with the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in 1903 to supply the road with lubricat Ing oil. On the expiration of the con- tract. President Milton Smith, of the Louisville & Nashville, refused to renew it. but would give no reason. Mr. Kellogg then placed In evidence the statement of the Galena Signal Oil Company, showing that the Louisville & Nashville, at the expiration of the contract with the New York Lubricating Oil Company, made a contract with the Galena at a higher rate than that paid the New York com pany. Mr. Harrison said President Smith had stated in a letter that the Lubricating Oil Company was entirely satisfactory. He added that the Galena agents went to Mr. Smith and told him Standard was shipping a large amount of oil on the Louisville & Nashville, and that the road should give the contract to the Galena. President 3mlth told the Galena agents that he was not paying rebates in that way, . said Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison testified that the New York Lubricating Oil Company had con tracts with the Central of Georgia Rail road and the Georgia Railroad, and that the Galena obtained contracts with the two railroads at prices -which he said he understood were higher than the prices of the New York Lubricating Oil Company. OBJECT TO IMMORAL TOWN Teachers Think Institute Should Xot Be Held In Georgetown. KENT, Wash., Oct'. 7. (Special.) The teachers here are greatly wrought up over the County Institute, which is to meet at Georgetown. October 7 to 11. They do not think it is proper to meet In a town that has .he reputation of being, and is generally conceded to be, the most immoral town in the state. A lady could not even ride through It on a streetcar on Sunday without being insulted until the county authorities compelled the saloons to close on that day. It is a little better since then.

HER SISTERS' TREACHERY Pittsburg Millionaire Says Girls Tried to Blackmail Parents and Sweetheart of One Sold Him Letters She Wrote. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Oct. 7. Interest In the sensational Hartje divorce case was revived today by the announcement that a petition had been filed by the com plainant, Augustus Hartje,-' with the Justices of the Superior Court sitting in Philadelphia, asking that the case be re-opened in order that additional evidence alleged to be damaging to the defendant, Mary Scott Hartje. could be heard The millionaire paper manufacturer has, it is said, discovered a package of letters alleged to have been written by the two sisters of Mrs. Hartje and Thomas Madine, the coachman co-respondent, and desires to show that the respondent was guilty of the charges brought against her by her husband. The letters said to have been written by Mrs. Hartje's sister -are alleged to contain admissions with re ference to the divorce case. Madine is also alleged to have made a confession to the attorneys of Mr. Hartje. and to have turned over to them masses of documentary evidence. D. T. Watson, attorney for Mrs. Hartje, stated today that the alleged letters have no bearing on the case. Augustus Hartje said the new evidence would vindicate him. He would spend his last dollar to secure vindication, he said, and asserted that before he was through he would go after everyone mixed up In the case for conspiracy. It was learned that Madine was mar ried recently and is now in Belfast with his wife. It is said that Madine intends to make that place his permanent home. Mrs. Mary Scott' Hartje, who is visiting at Llgonler Srrings, Pa., In telephonic conversation with this city today refused to discuss the new phases of the case as alleged by her husband. Further sensa tions in the case are expected. Mrs. Hartje's Secret Letters. In the petition presented to the court for Mr. Hartje, he recites that since the hearing of the case he has secured letters written by Thomas Madine, the coachman, while Madine was in Ire land, to Mrs. Hartje while she was at the Hotel Victoria-in London, and oth ers which she wrote to the coachman from there. He relates that he is In a position to prove that Mrs. Hartje ar ranged with the hotel employes to have the letters delivered privately, and that she supplied Madine with envelopes ad dressed to herself. He further avers that Mrs. Hartje arranged with a hair dresser, Ambrose, of 274 Rue St. Ho nored Paris, to mail letters through him to Madine, and that she received letters from the coachman and sent money to him through the same avenue. He re lates that the receipt of the letters by Madine were established through Ma dlne's mother at Down Patrick, Ireland, and by the testimony of the coachman's sister. The petitioner sets forth that the letters were in the possession of Ma dlne's mother until July of this year, when he wrote for them, and that on August S they were delivered by Ma dine to a representative of Mr. Hartje In Toronto, Canada. Sisters Offered to Sell Out. Other letters, -which he petitioner says he has found since the case was heard, were written, he alleges, by Helen Scott and Ida Scott to Howard A, Lappe, of Pittsburg, In which the writers indicated that unless their parents paid them a certain sum of money each month they would "turn In" for the petitioner. These letters were written, according to the petition er, on April 27 and April 29, 1907. As a sidelight on the already in volved Hartje case, argument will be had before the Superior Court tomor row on a petition to set aside the ver dict in the case of William E. Decosta who was convicted of perjury on tes timony given in the divorce suit con cerning the letters alleged to have been written by Ida Scott, sister of Mrs. Hartje. It is said they were addressed to Howard Lappe, of this city. It was Lappe who eloped to Youngstown, O., with Ida' Scott last Spring, but parental objections prevented the marriage. Re ferring to the letters today, Augustus Hartje says: Sells His Sweetheart's .Letters. 'Those letters were written in the strictest oonfidence. They -were writ ten by a girl who expected to become the wife of the man to whom they were written. I hae nothing to say about the man who will sell letters received from his former sweetheart, for that Is what he did. We have the letters, which materially helps to prove our case, and we own them' be cause we bought them." SERVING TAINTED MEATS Pendleton Police Chief Takes Dras k tic Action. With One Shipment. PENDLETON, Or.. Oct. 7. (Special.) That Pendleton people have been eating diseased meat was the startling discovery made last Saturday by Chief of Police Gurdane. Not everyone in the city has been undergoing the dangers of putrid beef and mutton, but undoubtedly & num ber of families have been exposed. For some time past it has been remarked by persons at the O. R. & N. Depot that meat shipments by express coming into Pendleton from Walla Walla have been .most carelessly handled and no precau tions taken to protect the meat from the dirt and flies and tilth. Time and again attention has been called to the filthy condition of beef quarters hanging over trucks exposed to myriads of flies, to the sun and to all the filthy secretions which abound near a railroad yard. Saturday, Chief Gurdane's attention was called to several pieces of meat In a ship ment by express from the Garden City Packing Company In Walla Walla to the Garden City shop in this city. There was a sheep, a veal and a quarter of beef, all exposed to the sun and files. The ex posed portions were already fly-bitten and the putrid masses began to give off an offensive odor. Without awaiting the ceremony of notifying the Health Officer, the Chief notified the butcher shop to which the meat was consigned to cart it out to the garbage dump and unload It, which was done. Hereafter pains will be taken to inspect the meat shipments from ART Walla Walla to Pendleton in the Interest of the local health.

NERVOUS BEFORE THE JURY JAMES SAWYER PLACED TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE. OX Shot Fellow Harvest Hand After Quarrel Pendleton's Third Murder Case This Term. PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 7. (Special.) In Judge Bean's court today James Saw yer, accused of deliberately murdering Jack Monee, nervously faced the 12 men who are to decide whether he shall go to the gallows, secure a milder punish ment or be cleared. In the estimation of thoee keeping close watch of the case at the courthouse, this is the most dif ficult case which any of the attorneys for the defense have been up against in the several murder trials just past. Sawyer is accused of murder in the first degree. The charge is that after several fights with members of a combine's crew on a ranch. In each of which he was badly beaten. Sawyer went to the bunk- house and put on his gun, declaring his inteition of killing Monee. Sawyer went back to where the crew was and, pulling his gun, fired a bullet that struck Monee In the body. Monee was brought to the city and when at the hospital gave every indication of recovering. Suddenly blood poisoning set In and he died. Sawyer is a stranger here and the chief interest In the case Is that It is the first of several murder trials in which a ver dict of hanging is possible. OUTRAGES STILL CONTINUE Jew-Baiting In Odessa Goes on and Cossacks Laugh. ODESSA, Oct. 7. The united Unionists of Odessa continued today their attacks and outrages upon Jews. They began by surrounding the Hebrew cemetery where a funeral service was going on. They stoned and then fired a volley of revolver shots at the mourning Jews, many of whom were wounded. The Jews fled in panic. Later in the day members of the Black Hundreds divided themselves Into small groups and ransacked several Jew ish shops, mercilessly beating the pro prietors. A police sergeant who attempted to in tervene was brutally attacked, where upon he drew his revolver and killed one of his assailants. There were fewer po lice than usual on the s.reets- today. After further Jew-baiting, detachments of Cossacks arrived on the scene, but in stead of pursuing the Black Hundreds, they laughed at the rapidity with which they made their escape. Up to the pres ent time, Governor-General Novitsky has made no attempt to stop the outrages, but nevertheless they are diminishing gradually. Mutiny on Road in Siberia. TOBOLSK, Siberia, Oct. 7.

NO TRACE OF W1NGFIELD Friends Fear Lake County Man Was Drowned or Murdered. SILVER LAKE, Or., Oct. 7. At last reports here, there was no trace of Mor ris Wingneld, a prominent cattle man of Southern Lake County and brother of the millionaire mining man, George Wlngfleld, of" Reno, Nev., circumstances In whose case point either to a peculiar accident or foul play. Mr. Wlngfleld was riding with his vaqueros when he yras notified that his wife was 111, and immediately started on horseback for his Warner Valley ranch. That was .the last seen of him. His horse came home that evening on the run, which would seem to indicate that he had been badly frightened. About 300 citizens of the southern part of the county were out looking for the missing man, at last reports. It is thought by some that he may have been drowned in one of the potholes that are so numerous in the Warner Valley country, while others are of the opinion that he has been murdered.
