ana and California.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 20. William
English Walling, of Indianapolis, his
wife and sister-in-law. Miss Rose
Strunsky, were arrested in this city to
night by a force of gendarmes because
of their association witn several mem
bers of the Finnish Progressive party.
They were still being held at the gen
darmes' headquarters at a late hour
tonight. A representative of the Amer
ican Embassy appeared at the head
quarters in their behalf, but he could
take no action until tomorrow morn
ing. Kellogg Durland, another American,
and a friend of Mr. Walling, who has
been in St. Petersburg gathering ma
terial for a series of lectures, also was
taken into custody, but later he was
released. There wan no evidence on
which to hold Mr. Durland.
Mr. Walling Is a wealthy Socialist.
He is a grandson of the late William E.
English, who was vice-presidential can
didate in 1889, when General Hancock
ran for the American presidency. For
several years past Mr. Walling has
taken an active Interest in the Russian
struggle, and this Is the third time he
has visited Russia.
Arrested in Fashionable Hotel.
The Finns with whom Mr. Walling has
been associated also were arrested. In
this party there are three men and one
woman. The woman is the wife of Pro
fessor Malmburg,' of Helslngfors Uni
versity. The Finns have been in St.
Petersburg for several days. They have
been under close police observation. Yes
terday and today the Finns, Mr. and Mrs.
Walling, and Miss Straunsky joined to
gether, and tonight the entire party was
taken Into custody.
The arrest took place at the Hotel de
France, one of the leading hostelries of
this city. The rooms of the Walling
party and the Finns were thoroughly
searched by a colonel of gendarmes and
several assistants. All the baggage and
effects of the Walling party and the
four Finns were opened, and the gen
darmes took possession of a large quan
tity of books and other documentary ma
terial. Mr. Walling and hts wife, who Is
known to the literary world as Anna
Straunsky, and Miss Straunsky, were
taken to the gendarme headquarters, be
cause all the prisons are overcrowded,
and no other place to confine them could
be found. Mr. Walling was sent to the
detention prison, his wife to the woman's
prison, and Miss Straunsky, who - ap
parently Is regarded as the most impor
tantcaptJve, to the new Jail recently
built for the famous third section of the
secret police.
Shadowed for Two Tears.
It was Impossible to learn tonight
what the charge was against the
Finns. It will determine the accusa
tion against Mr. Walling, but a mem
ber of the Secret Service who accom
panied the gendarmes who made the
arrest said the order of arrest had
originated In his section and that the
Secret Service had been shadowing Mr.
Walling constantly for two years past.
The police have been Instructed to
look, also, for James M. James, a New
Tork newspaper men, who has been
over here for a New York weekly and
several Socialist papers. Mr. James
left St. Petersburg several days ago,
and has not yet returned. He has been
taken Into custody twice during raids
on revolutionary gatherings In thla
city, and was released upon proving
that he was present In his Journalistic
capacity only.

Petersburg from attending the Social
ist congress In Germany end France.
He has also spent several months re
cently In Geneva, where he frequented
the headquarters .of the Russian revo
lutionists. He Is lntlmata with many
leading revolutionists and liberals. Mr.
Walling is accused by the police of
furnishing financial aid to the revolu
tion, though this charge Is not the
foundation for his arrest tonight.
The arrest of William English Walling
in St. Petersburg tonight bears a strik
ing resemblance to certain reports of his
arrest in the Russian capital In January,
1906. which originated with the editor of a
Jewish newspaper In New. York, but
which was at once denied from St. Pe
tersburg and declared to be without foun
dation. Member Chicago Family.

Reward Offered Through National
Magazine of Boston Premises
for Articles Laid In Three As-
sertlons by Oregon Senator.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 20. Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., of Oregon, United States Senator, hap
taken a unique step to test the sentiment
of the country on the Presidential situa
tion. Through the National Magazine,
of Boston, Mass., he has offered a cash
prize reward of $1000, open to the Ameri
can people, for the strongest and best
written argument in support of his fol
lowing assertions:
First. That the sovereign people and
not Theodore Roosevelt, the Individual and
public servant, . will decide who ' shall be
his successor.
Second. That Theodore Roosevelt can
not decline a second elective term or at
tempt to name Ills successor without mak
ing his own personal desires or egotistical
opinions paramount to the combined wishes
and Intelligence of the Republican party
and the electorate of the Nation.
Brain Deduction, Not Heart Emotion
Third. That Roosevelt's honesty, cour-age,-
Initiative, Imagination, versatility, and
tremendous capacity for work, with heart
and brain constantly attuned to the peo
ple's rights and commands, and his insist
ence upon the enforcement, rather than
avoidance of laws,- and the protection of
the rights of men and property, have to
an unparalleled degree gained the confi
dence of all people; that, in the popular
mind. Roosevelt, during his executlveshtp.
has demonstrated his ability and determin
ation to make good as the people's chief
public servant, and not their dictator; that
this confidence, being a brain deduction and
not a heart emotion, is impossible of de
struction except by his betrayal; that by
tlie selection of any other man. business
contraction and restriction must exist dur
ing the. period necessary for him to demon
strate to the people's satisfaction his abil
ity and determination to make good, and,
therefore, that. barring death or sericsjs
illness. President Roosevelt must and will
be selected and elected for a second elective
term.
- The prize will be awarded March 15,
1908, the contest closing one month ear
lier, and three Judges, gentlemen of high
standing, will be named shortly to pass
upon the arguments submitted.
Let the People Be Heard.
Senator Bourne, speaking of this offer,
said tonight: "Frankly, my purpose is
to secure discussions and agitations re
sulting In conviction and crystallization of
opinion. Confident that the overwhelming
sentiment of the country, regardless of
party, favors the renomlnation and re
election of Roosevelt, I take this method
of Inviting an expression on the subject.
The propositions set forth speak for them
selves, and the responses thereto will at
least, tend to disclose the popular feeling
existing today. If the yiews which I
hold and which are shared fully, I may
add. by men from every section with
whom I am brought Into contact are the
views of the. American people generally,
then it Is well to establish that fact and
establish it at once. The earlier the dem
onstration, the better for the country.
Renew Era of Good Times.
"Nothing more conductive to business
success and public tranquility could pos
sibly occur at this time. In my opinion,
than . the substitution of uncertainty for
uncertainty regarding the Presidency. It
would be worth hundreds of millions of
dollars to our material Interests. The
business world would profit Incalculably
by the assurance or reassurance such a
certainty would bring. The administra
tion's policies are accepted and approved.
Only the knowledge that Roosevelt will
continue at the helm Is needed to in
augurate anew an era of prosperity on a
safer and sounder basis than ever before.
Call it a third term or second elective
term, as you like; the exigencies of the
times demand that he serve four years
more.- It is a patriotic duty which he
owes to his country. He cannot shirk it,
if he would, without making self greater
than country and forfeiting the respect
and public confidence he now holds. He
will not shirk It once the people make
their wishes known. Now Is the time for
them to be heard."

night. He was disturbed frequently by
fits of coughing, which were followed by
nervous restlessness. This morning the
patient rose at his usual hour, but he
was not able to attend the religious serv

SMALL QUITS IN TEARS

Admits Defeat for Restoration to
Old Position Pathetic Appeal
Fa,lls on Deaf Ears.
CHICAGO. Oct. 20. (Special.) Followed
by Jeers and hisses S. J. Small, former
president of the Commercial Telegra
phers' Union, left Ulrlch's Hall In tears
this afternoon. He did not get the vindi
cation which he sought at the hands of
the rank and file of the local union.
As Small left the hall he appeared
broken-hearted and declared he had given
up the.fight for restoration to his former
position. His successor, W. W. Beattie,
of "Washington, who was vice-president
of the organization, was formally recog
nized as the new head of the union. He
announced that his policy would be an
aggressive one.
When the meeting opened. President
Small, who had been waiting In an ante
room, for a chance to be heard, was in
vited to the platform. Hardly had he
ascended the steps to the platform, when
a number of strikers got up and left the
room. The others hooted, and hissed so
that the words of the former president
were drowned. In a pathetic way he ap
pealed to the older members of the union
saying he had children and ' that they
should -not be disgraced by the branding
of their father as dishonest without one
bit of evidence and without a hearing.
This appeal, however, had little effect,
although a great many of the strikers
after the meeting had adjourned agreed
that Small had been treated shamefully
and at least should have been received
with common decency.
It was voted to assess broker and
leased wire operators two days' pay each
week In lieu of calling them out on strike.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. (Special.) The
babbling tongue of a woman has cost
the Helnzes J65.830.000. This is the price
so far as Is known of the innocent mix
ing of business talk with a discussion of
salads and the prevailing styles.' Keen
detectives in the employ of the enemies
of Heinze skillfully managed to let a
woman talk, and laid mines under the
Heinze bridges as fast as they were built.
Woman Came From Butte.
. The story is going the rounds today of
a woman who came here some time ago
from Butte, Mont., and stopped at the
Waldorf-Astoria, which Is headquarters
for Montana mining men. F. Augustus
Heinze had known her In Butte, and
thought so well of her friendship that he
discussed with her the formation of the
pool to corner United Copper, At various
times and stages of the pool formation,
the woman became acquainted with the
plans to buy up all the loose stock.
She knew of the "gentlemen's agree
ment" and, not realizing the stern neces
sity for absolute silence on the subject,
talked over her Information with two
women chums who visited her at the
hotel daily and sometimes several times
each day. Over the luncheon fable they
mixed fashions with copper, and after the
meals certain detectives Immediately
were put In possession of all the Infor
mation they had gleaned. This was quick
ly turned over to the enemies of Heinze,
who took steps to checkmate the corner.
Best Friend Turns Traitor.
However. It was necessary to buy up
some member of the "gentlemen's co
terie," for the Heinze crowd had posses
sion of much more than a majority of
the stock before the information
"leaked." One member was finally per
suaded to flood ' the market with his
stock, and United Copper broke from $60
a share to $10, and the Helnzes were un
done. The woman who gave tip the In
formation was utterly Innocent of any
wrong intention, but the Heinze opposi
tion worked against him through one of
his most loyal friends.

Japan's Heir Apparent Concludes

SEOUL, Oct. 20. The climax of the fes
tivities in this city in honor of the visit
ing Japanese Crown Prince was reached
last night in a lantern procession in
which 10,000 persons took part. It was
witnessed by the Crown Prince of Japan
and the Crown Prince of Corea, and their
respective suites, from a hill near the
residency. For several hours the City of
Mi
on
Seoul, which is composed of one-story
houses, appeared to be intersected by
waving streams of colored lire. The pro
cession was divided into sections corre
sponding to the various divisions of the
city. Bach section was acco panied by a
band of music The national air of Japan
was rendered more frequently than any
other piece. The Crown Prin.o of Japan
bade farewell to the Emperor and the
ex-Emperor of Corea last night and
thanked them warmly for the hospitality
extended to him In Seoul.
The Crown Prince of Corea has formed
a great friendship for the Crown Prince
of Japan. He accompanied him every
where during the last few days, and this
afternoon went down to Chemulpo with
the Japanese visitor and bade him fare
well on board - the Japanese warship in
the harbor. It Is difficult to gauge the
real feeling of the Coreans in the matter
of this visit to Seoul of the young man
who ultimately is destined to become Em

long residence In Seoul are of the opinion
that It has produced an excellent Impres

BAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. (Special.)
Justice William G. Lorlgan, of the Su
preme Court of California, started upon
the trail of his son-in-law, Benjamin A.
Healy, before the sun had risen this
morning. After he had laid siege to
Healy's domicile for an nour and a half
he won two bloodless but Important vic
tories In the campaign Instituted by his
daughter to obtain a divorce from Healy.
Justice Lor i pan not only succeeded In
serving upon Healy a summons to answer
In the divorce suit, but he dragged from a
closet in Healy's apartments at 680 Waller
street a young woman whose description
tallies so closely with that of Miss Mabel
Benjamin, who Is named as co-respondent
In Mrs. Healy's suit for divorce, that
the Jurist quit the trail well satisfied
with the result of the early morning
Bklrmish.
In her application for divorce, filed on
Friday, Mrs.. Healy had charged that her
husband and Mabel Benjamin were occu
pying apartments at 680 Waller street.
She whom the complaint accuses of being
the "affinity"' In the case. Is a striking
brunette, about 22 years of age. Mbss
Benjamin and Clubman Healy have been
seen together frequently of late.
After the summons had been served
upon his son-in-law. Justice Lorigan
walked Into the room from which Healy
had emerged. Apparently It was unten

that Healy bad a companion to share the
apartment. But the Justice gave rein to
his suspicions and began "nosing around."
Opening the door of a closet, he brought
to view the shrinking form of a young
woman. She was attired in a kimono and
her face was hidden by a black veil, so
heavy that It was impossible to distin
guish her features. Seemingly she was
young and a brunette.
The case assumes added importance
from the fact that a fortune is at stake,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. (Special.)
In an editorial that covered the entire
first page of the Examiner, William R.
Hearst came out this morning for Daniel
A. Ryan, the Republican candidate for
Mayor. Accustomed as San Franciscans
are to the political vagaries of the edi
tor, the sudden switch on the part of
Hearst came as a distinct surprise.
It was all the more a surprise by reason
of the fact that as recently as September
19 Hearst denounced Ryan for accepting
the nomination. At that time Hearst
likened him to one who has collected
funds for a charitable purpose and then
turned them to his own use.
In this mornmg's editorial, Hearst calls
McCarthy the friend and ally of Schmitz.
and although he refers In complimentary
terms to the high" personal standing of
Dr. Taylor, he asserts that Taylor lacks
"progressive efficiency."
Advantage to McCarthy.
The attitude of Hearst Is generally re
garded as a further slap at the graft
prosecution, which favors the election of
Taylor, for the refusal of the prosecution
to place Hearst's man In the Mayor's
chair when Schmitz was sent to prison.
It Is not believed that Hearst's attitude
will have a great effect upon the election.
It will militate against Taylor and to the
advantage of McCarthy. For this reason
some politicians profess to see In the edi
torial a boost for McCarthy.
An aggregation bf union men Inimical
to McCarthy and friendly to Taylor, rep
resenting 4000 voters, has passed the fol
lowing resolutions:
Union Men Denounce McCflrty.
Whereas the once well-meanlnjr so-called
Union ' Labor party nan degenerated Into a
scramble for office, and appears now to be
a convenience for the corporations and others
desiring special privileges; and
Whereas, the head of the so-called Union
Labor party ticket undoubtedly Is oppoeed by
character and disposition to democratic and
popular government, centralization of power
being always the policy of P. H. McCarthy;
and
Whereas, He fought the Union Labor party
bitterly and hard until it developed Into a
machine for graft: and
Whereas, his affinity la in the branch county
Jail and he dare not deny It; therefore be it
Repudiate Labor Ticket.
Reeo'.ved. that as the announcements of
Prank McGowan disclose a policy that could
only mean the release of Calhoun and the
other bribers and grafters, we of the Build
ing Trades Good Government Club repudiate
the entire so-called Union Labor party ticket
and indorse Edward R. Taylor for Mayor. Wil
liam H. Langdon for District Attorney and
the whole good government ticket, which will
Insure the continued prosecution of the vio
lators ot law.
