Plnkerton Chief at Baker Swain
Carries War to Boise.
BAKER CITT, Oct 8. (Special.) S. C.
Thlelo. assistant chief of the Plnkerton
Detective Agency, arrived In the city to
day to look over the ground personally
and Investigate the Brown dynamiting
rase for his own satisfaction. He has
not been employed by any one and what
ever work he does will be for his own
personal satisfaction, as he and Brown
were very close friends and had done
considerable work together.
In speaking of the case Mr. Thlcle said
that he did not think that the Western
Federation of Miners had any connec
tion with the case, as Brown was their
friend atid had been summoned to tes
tify In, the Pcttlbone trial.
Captain Swain of the Thlele agency has
gone to Boise and created a stir there
by declaring that Governor Gooding In
terfered with him In his Investigation of
the case by sending men here to hinder
him In the work. It was rumored here
today that Detective McPartland. of
Boise, was in the city in connection with
the case, but neither the Chief of Police,
the Sheriff or any one else has seen
him here.
Harry Draper has returned to Spokane
with his hounds without accomplishing
anything in the case.
THINKS FEDERATION GFIIvTX
Orchard " Expresses Opinion Elmer
Sticks to Charge Against Swain.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 8. In the opin
ion of Harry Orchard the Western
Federation of Miners is responsible for
the death of ex-Sheriff Harvey Brown
at Baker City. He says he believes the
murder was committed to revenge
work done by Brown in assisting the
state to get evidence against those
accused of the assassination of ex
Governor Steunenberg.
When first Informed of the Baker
City tragedy Orchard predicted that
very shortly the papers would be printing-
Interviews with those conneoted
svlth the Federation, In which it
would be claimed that Brown was a
friend of the Federation.
Charles E. Elmer, private secretary
to Governor Gooding, today reiterated
his charges against Captain Swain, who
has charge of the detectives investigat
ing the Brown case. Mr. Elmer states
that when he went to Baker City he
had no knowledge that Captain Swain
was working on the case, and that ha
did not know it until he had talked for
three-quarters of an hour with the
authorities there.
When he met Captain Swain he was
greeted cordially by the Spokane de
tective, he says. Captain Swain told
him he had absolutely no clew, but
that the crime was a parallel case with
the Steunenberg murder. Elmer said:
"I asked Captain Swain what the
dogs had done. He told me the tracks
had been crossed by so many persons
that the dogs had been unable to work.
I learned the dogs had taken a trail
and had followed It toward the home
of Mrs. Klnnlson and again In the same
direction. I was told by the owner of
the dogs later that Swain had called
them off, that they had not been given
an opportunity to show whether or
not they could pick up the scent after
dropping It near the depot."
When I learned that Captain Swain
was In charge of the Investigation." said
Elmer, "I determined to leave Baker City
for homo and say nothing. I was In
tending to leave that night, but I had a
long-distance telephone talk with Gov
ernor Gooding. We talked the matter
over and came to the conclusion that
the authorities of Baker City should be
put In possession of some facts regarding
Idaho's experiences with Captain Swain.
It was a duty, as we considered It.
"I then went to the Mayor, District At
torney and Sheriff and told them can
didly what I knew. I told them I did
not question Captain Swain's ability as
a detective, but I had reasons to ques
tion his motives. I told them It was
Captain Swain's fault that Jack Simp
Ttins got away: that Swain told us an
absolute falsehood, which resulted in
Slmpkins' escaping, and that we bad
proofs that such was true, i ioia mem
that as far as I was concerned the In
formation I had given them need never
heroine nubile.
"I left Baker City without DreatninK a
word of what I had told them to any
one. I gave no Information to any
newspaper men. All that was sent out
by the newspaper men concerning that
Interview must have come from the Baker
officials, and probably through Captain
Swain. They must have gone to Swain
Immediately, and he at once, building up
a defense, called the newspaper men
around him and gave them the inter
views that have been published."

Steady as Clockwork, but Over
all, for Chicago, Is Nervous- Is
Retired After Ninth Inning.
CHICAGO. Oct. 8. Detroit and Chi
cago, leaders of the American and Na
tional Leagues respectively, played !12
strenuous innings to a tie here today in
the first game of the eerlea for the base
ball championship of the world. The
contest was replete with sensational sit
uations and when Umpire OTay of the
National League called tha play off on
account of darkness most of the 24,377
spectators sighed with relief, and went
home well satisfied -with the outcome.
Overall and Donovan were the oppos
ing pitchers, but the former was taken
out when Chicago had tied the score In
the ninth inning; and had men on bases
waiting to score the winning runs.
Moran was sent In to bat for him, but
before the latter had time to deliver the
needed hit, Evers tried to steal home
and was out by a narrow margin, retir
ing the side. Reulbach finished the game
and for. three innings retired Detroit's
heavy hitters without the semblance of
a hit.
Crowd targe hut Orderly.
The contest was watched by an Immense
crowd, the enlarged stands being packed
to capacity, while a thin fringe Of enthu
siasts occupied Btandlng room in deep
center field. The game was called
3:39 o'clock. The crowd was remarkable
for its spirit of fair play and courtesy
and the 60 police had no trouble at all
In keeping It within bounds. When play
started the spectators In the field seats
were unable to see over the hats of the
persons In front, whereupon men and
women alike removed their hats and tied
handkerchiefs about their ears, sitting
with this slight covering through two and
a half hours of baseball and in a breeze
that was at times chiliy.
Teams Evenly Matched.
The game itself was evenly contested.
Both teams broke under fire, Chtgaco
mixing two of its errors with two hits
In the eighth inning, until Detroit scored
all three of its runs, while the visitors
returned the compliment In the next in
ning, allowing Chicago to tie the score
Captain Coughlin's error came In this
round and was costly. With runners on

While this was going on. Overall retired
from the game and when the visitors
went to bat in the extra innings they had
to face Keulbach's speedy delivery In
the growing darkness.
Overall Passes First Man.
The tall pitcher waa In rare form, hav
ing good control, and against his curves
and shoots such batsmen as Schaefer,
Crawford and Cobb were helpless. Over
all was visibly nervous when Jones, the
first batsman, faced him and failed to
get any one of the first four balls
pitched over the plate. The Detroit con
tingent had its first chance to cheer as
their left fielder trotted to first base,
and took full advantage of It. Schaefer
tried to sacrifice, hut his bunt was too
fast and Steinfeldt. by a quick throw,
forced Jones at second. Crawford drove
a long fly to extreme deep ' center, but
Slagle waa waiting for the ball. . Then
Schaefer tried out Kllng's throwing arm
and found it good, being an easy out,

went to third on a series of bad throws
by Catcher Schmidt Captain Chance
struck out, however, and Steinfeldt could
not drive the ball past Donovan.
Detroit did nothing in the second, but
Chicago waa full of ginger and threat
ened again. Kling received a base on
balls to start, was sacrificed to second
and went to third on an out, where he
stood while Tinker registered the first
of three strikeouts.
Detroit took its turn at looking dan
gerous In the next session, Schmidt hit
ting cleanly to left and going to third
on a sacrifice and Jones' infield . hit.
Donovan had struck out meanwhile, and
Scfiaefer's grounder to Tinker ended the
inning.
Chicago Gets First Run.
Chicago scored the first run of the
contest in the next inning. Chance drew
a base on balls, Steinfeldt sacrificed
prettily and Kling came forward with
a short fly to left field, which Jones
could not reach. Chance had turned
third as the hall struck the ground and
tore for home. He had to slide to beat
the throw, but accomplished the trick.
and then Schmidt relayed the ball to
Schaefer, retiring Kling, who had tried
to take an extra base on the throw to
the plate.
Evers followed with another hit and
stole second, but Donovan tightened
up and struck out Schulte. Detroit
tried to get the run back at once, but
after Crawford had hit safely to left
and gone to second on an out, he was
doubled up with Coughlln when Evers
captured the latter's short fly back of
second base and relayed the ball to

LUMBERMEN SUE
FOR INJUNCTION
Proposed Advance in
Rates Blocked.
FEDERAL COURT SIGNS ORDER
Conspiracy In Violation of the
Sherman Law Charged.
RAILROADS IN COMBINE
Oregon Millowners and Dealers
Boldly Assert That Harrlman and
Hill Work Together to Throt
tle . a Leading: Industry-.
NATURB OF SUIT. Lumbermen
ask United States Circuit Court for
Injunction restraining railroads from
enforcing proposed advance In rates
to be made November 1 on luzrber
shipments from Oregon until contro
versy can be passed on by Inter
state Commerce Commission. Hill
and Harrlman lines charged with
forming Illegal combination under
which rates on lumber are fixed and
maintained In restraint of Inter-,
state trade, whereby competition Is
stifled and future of Industry In Ore
gon threatened.
SHOWING MADE IN PETITION.
Net earnings of both the HU1 and
Harrlman systems have been increas
ing annually at rates now In force,
by which Oregon lumber dealers are
enabled to meet competition In Chi
cago and Detroit and other North
Central markets only by cutting
prices of their product until there
remains but a slight margin of profit.
RATES ARB ATTACKED. Rates
now In force discriminate against the
Oregon producer In favor of the Wis
consin and Minnesota timberman.
New rates impose an additional
freight charge of $5 on each car of
lumber and $36 on each car of' shin
gles shipped from Oregon to St.
Paul, Detroit, and Chicago territory.
REASONS FOR SUIT. Advance
in rates would result in driving Ore
gon lumbermen out of competing
markets, disrupt established trade re
lations, and demoralize prices to the
extent that many mills would be re
quired to shut down or make enor
mous sacrifices in the disposition of
their product.
ACTION TAKEN BT COURT.
Railroad companies cited to appear
in court October 29 and show cause
why restraining order and Injunction
should not be granted.
An application for an Injunction, re
straining; the transcontinental railroads
from enforcing a proposed increase in
freight rates on lumber shipments
from Oregon to E as tern terminals, was
yesterday filed in ' the United States
Circuit Court by an association of lum
bermen. The revised tariff published
by the railroads becomes effective No
vena be r 1, and the lumber manufactur
ers and dealers. seek to have the com
panies restrained from imposing any
additional burden In freight rates un
til the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion can hear testimony on the sub
ject and make a decision.
Judge Wolverton Issued an order cit
ing each of the defendant transpor
tation companies to appear in court
October 29 to show cause why a re
straining order and injunction should
not be issued against them as peti
tioned for by the mlllowners. Teal
& Minor, Thomas O. Greene and A. B.
Wlnfree appear as counsel for the
complainants.
Railroads In a Combine.
In their petition for an Injunction
the lumbermen charge that the Hill
and Harrlman systems, by concurrence
and concert, fix and maintain the
freight rates on all forest products
from points within the state of Ore
gon to points In all of the other states.
As a result of this alleged conspiracy
and community of Interest. It Is fur
ther alleged that the element of com
petition In transportation circles has
been entirely removed, since the rail
road systems which are named, as de
fendants In the pending proceeding,
control all the rail transportation In
this state.
It Is further represented that all of
the defendant lines operate In con
junction with each other through the
medium of an agency known as the
Transcontinental Freight Bureau, with
headquarters at Chicago, where all
rates affecting the transportation of
freight from Oregon and the Pacific
Northwest to points outside of this
state are fixed.
Nature of the Increase.
By reference to the proposed tariff
it is shown that the new rates mean
an Increase In freight charges on lum
ber amounting substantially to 10 cents
per 100 pounds, to what Is known as
the Denver, St. Paul and Chicago ter
ritories, 7 1-2 cents per 100 pounds to
St. Louis territory and 6 cents per 100
pounds to Missouri River territory and
certain southeastern destinations In
other states.
These rates are declared to be un
reasonable, extortionate, ' prohibitive
and discriminatory. In restraint of ln-
ter-state trade and In violation of the
Interstate Commerce Act. It Is
charged that the rates have been fixed
regardless of the rights of the public
and in such a manner as to eliminate
all competition through the formation
of an Illegal combination.
Give Startling Figures.
Continuing, the petition sets out
that the complainants have more than
$60,000,000 Invested in the lumber busi
ness, this estimate not Including the
value of the standing timber. More
than- 50,000 persons in this state are
directly engaged In the industry while
not less than 100,000 are dependent on
It. ' The annual payroll Is about $30
000,000. Annually the output in this
state aggregates 2,000,000,000 feet, rep
resenting a market value of $30,000,
000. The freight paid on shipments
of lumber out of the state approxl
mates $12,000,000 annually, this esti
mate being based on the movement by
rail of 600,000,000 feet of timber, rep
resenting about 30,000 carloads.
Discrimination Is Shown.
It Is further pointed out that while
on an average freight charges of the
different railroad systems have de
creased between 1900 and 1906, the
charges on lumber shipments from this
state have remained substantially the
same as they were In 1893. Consider
ing that the earnings of the railroads
have been Increasing annually, the
lumbermen consider that It Is unrea
sonable that a further tax should be
levied against them In the form of in
creased freight rates.
An enforcement of the proposed new
rates, It Is shown In the petition.
means an additional charge Of about
$50 on each car of lumber and $36 on
each car of shingles from Oregon to
St. Paul, Denver, Chicago or other
Eastern markets.
Another result. It is charged, would
be the serious demoralization of the
lumber market, which Is not now any
too stable, and the confiscation of the
property of the complainants.
Parties to the Salt.
The plaintiffs In the pending pro
ceeding are the Oregon & Washington
Lumber Manufacturers' Association,
Eastern & Western Lumber Company,
The Curtlss Lumber Company, Clark &
Wilson Lumber Company, Portland
Lumber Company, Peninsula Lumber
Company, North Pacific Lumber Com
pany, Bridal Veil Lumbering Company
and the Stanley-Smith Lumber Com
pany. The defendant railroad compa
nies are: The Unibn Pacific, Oregon
Short Line, the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation, Southern Pacific, Oregon &
California and Corvallis & Eastern
designated as the "Harrlman lines," and
the Great Northern, Chicago, Burling
ton & Qulncy; Northern Pacific and the
Astoria & Columbia River, called the
"Hill lines."
Conspiracy Is Charged.
After charging first that an Illegal
combination exists among the different
railroads for the purpose of fixing and
maintaining rates, the complainants de
clare to the court that the new tariff
has been prepared:
In pursuance of a combination and con
piracy to stifle and destroy all competl
tlon among all of said defendants respecting
the transportation of forest products from
the State of Oregon and other Northwest
Pacific States and to exact and extort an
unreasonable and unjust compensation for
the services performed in transporting said
forest products, and to divert to the treas
uries of said railway oompanles, through
such unjust and unreasonable transporta
tion tax. all. or nearly all. of the profits
of the business of the complalntans and
others engaged In the manufacture of lum
ber In the 6tate of Oregon, and of the other
Pacific Northwest states, without regard to
the reasonableness of said rates or to the
value of the services to be performed and
the cost of transporting said products.
That each and all of said defendants
well knew, at the time said tariff rates
were agreed upon and adopted, that said

COMES OUT IN SWEATB0X
Pretended Discoverer of Denver
Dynamite Plot Proves to Be Its
Author Had Crowd of
Millionaires Marked.
DENVER, Colo., Oct. 8. Governor
Henry A. Buchtel, David H. Moffatt,
president of the First National Bank of
Denver, and Charles B. Kountz, presi
dent of the Colorado National Bank, re
ceived through the malls today Infernal
machines containing sufficient dynamite
to have caused great destruction of lives
and property had they been exploded.
Fortunately, warning had' been given to
the recipients of the machines by the
Chief of Police, Michael Delaney, who
had obtained a confession from Kemp V.
Blgelow, by whom they' were mailed.
Blglow confessed also that he had sent
Infernal machines to Lawrence C. Phlppa
and Edward Chase, but these were not
delivered today. The machines received
by Messrs. Moffatt and Kountz were
turned over to the police department.
Warning- Save9 Bnchtel's Life.
The one sent to Governor Buchtel was
received by the Governor's private secre
tary, Alfred C. Montgomery, who re
moved the wrapper, disclosing a box
with a sliding cover. His suspicions
were aroused and he reported the mat
ter to the Governor, who then Informed
him that he had been warned by the
Chief of Police to be on the lookout for
an infernal machine. Adjutant-General
Kelly and officers of the police depart
ment were called In and the box was
carefully opened by them In such a man
ner as to avoid explosion of Its contents.
It was found to contain two sticks of
dynamite, to which were attached fuses
and caps and which were packed In
black powder. The sliding top was lined
with sandpaper and the matches had
been placed with their heads In contact
with the sandpaper, so that they would
have been lighted if the box had been
opened in the manner Intended, thus
undoubtedly causing an explosion of the
dynamite.
The other Infernal machines were
counterparts of this one.
Hoped to Become a Hero.
Tonight, In the presence of Chief of
Police Delany, Police Commissioner
Hewitt, representatives of newspapers
and Fred Moffat, a nephew of David H.
Moffat, Blgelow made a confession In
which he admitted sending the Infernal
machines, and explained his motive. He
said that he was unable to earn enougTT
at his regular employment to keep him
properly and conceived the Idea of mak
ing a hero of himself, with probable
financial reward as a result.
Blgelow's Story About Chase.
Blgelow, who Is 21 years of age,
arrived In Denver several weeks ago
and secured a position as clerk
in the Kendrick book and station
ery store. He said re was the
son of C. L. Blgelow, Superintendent
of Schools In Bryan, Ohio. On Sunday
night Blgelow notified the police depart-
ment that he ' had overheard two men
talking about a plot to kill Edward
Chase, the Governor and other promi
nent citizens and that Mr.. Chase's resi
dence was to be blown up that night.
A search In the vicinity of the residence
resulted in the discovery of a package
containing 61 sticks df dynamite.
Confession Saves Their Lives.
Blgelow's story was regarded with
suspicion and he was placed under ar
rest Monday night. Today he confessed
that he himself placed the dynamite ,
near Mr. Chase's house, where It was
found, and that he had sent several In
fernal machines by mall. Had this con
fession not been obtained In time to give
warning to the men to whom the ma
chines had been sent, those who opened
the boxes containing the dynamite would
undoubtedly have been killed.
EXTORT MONEY BY GRATITTTDB
Blgelow's Scheme Was to Warn Vic
tlms After Sending Dynamite.
DENVER, ColoM Oct. 8. (Special.)
Kemp V. Blgelow, the young book
store clerk, who yesterday revealed a
plot to dynamite D. H. Moffatt, Charles
B. Kountz and half a dozen other
Denver millionaires, tonight broke
down and confessed that he had
evolved the scheme to get money from
grateful millionaires. He also con
fessed that he had sent dynamite
bombs through the mall to several
Denver millionaires and these were
received by the persons to whom they
were addressed today. There were
no fuses, clockwork or caps attached
to the bombs, and they did not en
danger the lives of their recipients,
but they did place In grave Jeopardy
the mail clerks and carriers who han
dled them. If Blgelow proves to ba
sane, he will go to tua penitentiary.
