CULLS ROOSEVELT
OF
Congressman Willet Says He
. Destroyed Confidence
in Magnates.
TOO FREE WITH BIG STICK
President Accused of Turning on
the Gas, Not the lvight, and
Showing More Sincerity
Than Good Sense.
WASII1NOTOW. Jan. 7. The resolu
tion referring the President's message
to the several committees furnished the
occasion in the House of Representa
tives today for a number of addresses,
mestly by meinberB on the Democratic
Bide.' These covered a variety of sub-,
jecta, but those that attracted special
attention were ' by Sheppard, Of Texas,
and Willet, of New York.
The former not only made a plea tor
the restoration of the legend, "In God
We Trust," on American coins, but dis
cussed the crutse of the American bat
tleship fleet and referred to a possible
conflict with Japan.
Hits Magnates With Big Stick.
Willet placed all the blame for the
recent financial panic on President
Roosevelt, whom he denounced in se
vere terms. He charged the President
with not being: a sensible man and
With having turned on the gas and
not the light, and with going up and
down the country condemning and
striking with the bis stick the heads
of great industrial interests.
"The President had . gone forth day
after day to the people and the peo
ple of the world, and declared to them
that the men who hold the relna of
our great Industrial institutions are
dishonest and are not worthy of our
confidence. "We want cheer," he said.
"We do not want our chief execu
tive going up and down this country
condemning and striking with the big
stick everything that sticks its head
up." . '
What was wanted, he said, was a
man to perform his duties with . dig
nity and power, and with the influ
ence of all sane men bnhind him.
Sincere, but Lack9 Sense. '
"It has been; said our President is
sincere," he continued. "He may be
so, but we want good sense in the
President along with hi sincerity."
He declared that i the President was
not a sensible man, and concluded:
"It is because of what I charge him
with, with all the powers of my mind
and body, as , my profound conviction
and because of his lack of sense and
lack of due' appreciation of the true
condition of our Nation, that we have
this panic today.'.' - ....
Republican policies were attacked
by Hardwick (Ga.), who predicted' that
the only safety for the party lay in
the nomination of Secretary Taft for
the - residency.. . The. National bank
ing laws were discussed by Norrla
(Neb.),' who urged as a protection to
.depositors the taxing of bank epoelta
with the view of securinga fund for
that purpose. .- -
The resotutlon was under consider
ation when the . ose adjourned:' till
tomorrow. ' " . '.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Owing to the

WASHINGTON, Jan. .7. There is talk'tri
army circles of further - reducing the
emergency ration already heretofore re
duced from 163 ounces. Next to mainte

that this may be safely reduced in weight.

ID AS RESULT OF DUEL

Second Principal .Dying Draw at
Close Range and Fire Eight
Shot's, Six Taking Effect. . ;
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. Frank
Cochrane and T. 11. Bell, both of whom
recently arrived here from Seattle and
between whom bad.- feeling is .said to
have existed for ' some time, met
shortly before 4 o'clock this afternoon
in ttie feansbme. saloon on faansome
street, near Market street. They
went into one of the private booths,
and, after exchanging .a few words,
drew their pistols and began a duel
at close range. Kight -shots were ex
changed, six taking effort,- each man
receiving three bullets in his body.
Bell fell to. the floor and was ap
parently-dying when Cochrane' walked
out into :the"aloon, where he was
disarmed by.the barkeeper. A moment
later he felt dead. Bell was removed
to the receiving hospital, unconscious.
and it is not. believed that he will live
more than a few hours.
It is said that the cause of the trag
edy was the charge made by Cochrane,
who was a farodealer in beattle, that
Bell had won his wife's affections.. Bell
has been employed as a chauffeur.
Bell made an ante-mortem state
ment to the police tonight in which
he says that Cochrane fired the first
shot and that before drawing his re
volver ho told Bell that he had come
from Seattle to kill him because he had
been told in Seattle that Bell was in
timate with Mrs. Cochra'ne. Bell
claims that he shot In self-defense and
that he did not draw his weapon until
after Cochrane had fired one shot .
Girl Who Started Teddy
Bear Craze Is in Portland
THE Teddy Bear craze has swept the
.country from Coast to Coast. The
bear has taken the place of the blue-
eyed doll with the pink cheeks and yellow
curl. The bear is much more durable
and besides the- grown-up people about
the house can have fun with the bear.
Arthur C. Alston, a New York theatrical
manager, estimates that several million
of the bears will be sold in the United
States during the present year. Thou
sands of Teddy Bears are imported to
the United States. : The hair used on the
domestic boars is imported from Ger
many. "I happened to know just how
the Teddy Bear craze started," said Mr.
Alston, "and the story Is rather in
teresting. About four .years ago, while
the country was holding its breath wait
Insr for President Roosevelt to kill a
bear on one of his estern nunting
trips, and while everybody was talking
about Roosevelt and his bear hunting,
party of New York society people de
sired to tpring something new and
unique. And It was suggested -glving a
bear party.
"Some of the men in this particular
social set called on an Importer of Ger
man poods and asked if he could not
get them some bears. He sent" to Ger
many and had three samples of bears
made. They arrived too. late for the
party and the importer threw them aside
in his office. Summer came around and
the importer's little niece. Miss Mar
guerite Miller,, was preparing to start
to Atlantic City with her mother. In
her uncle's office one day she located
the bears. She begged for one, and her
uncle let her have it. She carried it to
Atlantic City and kept it with her con
stantlv. It was a beautiful little brown
bear; with hair as soft as velvet. This
little girl and her bear were as bad as
Mary and her lamb. They were always
together. "They attracted the attention
of the children on the board walk and
every youngster wanted one. Fond mam
mas importuned 1 the mother of the child
with the bear, but she could only give
them the address of the child's uncle in
New York, who had imported- the bear.
The parents of one child wrote to the
uncle begging him for a bear, and he sent
one at once. There then were two T.eddy
Bears on the board walk, and soon some
one else got hold of the importer and
obtained the remaining bear.
"Some men who were living at At
lantic City then arranged with a- dealer
at the resort to have a lot of bears im
ported. He did so the following Summer,
and the bears sold like hot cakes. Then
some clever chap, named the animals
Teddy Bears, and the craze started in
earnest."

actress, is playing at the Empire' Theater

Men-Iast Batch of 100 '
Talesmen Comes Today.
NEW. YORK, Jan. 7. Three Jurors
sworn to serve on the trial panel for
Harry K. Thaw represented tonight the
net results of the two days and six ses
sions of. the trial before Justice Dowlihg
in the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court. , In addition to' the trio who are
oath-bound wejf and truly to try the case.
tnere were In the Jury box at the close
of the night sitting four tentative Jurors
wno are suDject still, to peremptory chal
lenges by either side. The task if filling
tne nve vacant cnalrs will be resumed
tomorrow mornIng,.-when the last install
ment of. 100 talesmen summoned on the
original, panel -of 300 names will report
for examination.
Three Finally Accepted.
In all. 95. proposed Jurors were called and
questioned today, as against 57 .yesterday.
At the close of the afternoon session the
Jury box was filled and hopes ran high
that at least majority of those tenta
tively chosen would- prove acceptable io
both sides. "With the -beginning of the
evening session, 'however, all such hopes.
were dissipated. When the suddenly de
scended ''Storm : of peremptory challenges
cleared away, there were but. three sur
vivors, ' and it' was "agreed that they
should be sworn as - the nucleus of the
trial panel. '-.
They are Charles E. GremmelB. ' ship
broker, who Is. to be foreman; Arthur R.
Naething,:. baker and caterer, and .George
v. Cary. dry' goods dealer. Following
the' administration of -the oath to These
men. it was agreed that the Jury box
should be again filled. "
The ' fourprovisional . Jurors are. George
C. Rupprecht, salesman; Moses Gren
baum, insurance agent; John R. Maginn,
retired broker, and Thomas F. Cranston,
printer.
; Forty talesmen were examined at the
evening session, which lasted until 10:50
P. M. . ; -
"' Thaw Thin and Pale.'
t
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw was not In the
courtroom when the proceedings began.
Josiah Thaw being the only relative
in the line of chairs reserved-for the
defendant's family. Young Mrs. Thaw
came in while the first talesman was
being examined. She was ruddy of
cheek and appears in the best of
health a sharp contrast to her husr
band, who is thinner and more pallid
than a year ago. His hair, wiry and
badly .cut, gives him something of an
unkempt appearance. The first six
men icalled Jor service were- all- dis
quaimed. .. .
As on yesterday. Justice Dowling fre
quently took a hand in the questioning
of taiesmep, his interrogations usually
bringing the examinations to an abrupt
conclusion.
Judge Dowllng is not partial to long
arguments among counsel. Mr. Little
ton is thorough in his examinations.
One Question asked most of the tales
men was-what newspapers containing
purported accounts of the previous trial
they had read. He spent nearly half
an hour on William H. Roberts, secre
tary to a railway signal concern and a
native of Kngland, who was ac
cepted as Juror No. 10. Roberts de
clared he had an impression as to the
guilt or innocence of the defendant,
but it was not Very decided. He was"
excused by consent later. .
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
occasionally relieved Mr. Jerome in
conducting the preliminary ex'amina
tion of talesmen. i
'. One of the 'talesmen summoned on
the second--panel created 'something of
a sensation at the afternoon session by
-announcing that he had lost hie gold
watch and chain, valued at $150, since
coming to court. Detectives were as
signed to the case. ,
WHY HEMBREE GOES FREE
GOVERNOR MAKES REPLY TO
CRITICISMS. .
Provisions of Parole Law Make It
Incumbent on Executive . to
. Release Such Prisoners.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 7. (Special.) In
answer to numerous criticisms that have
been made upon the release of A. J.
Hembree ffem the penitentiary. Governor
Chamberlain asserts that there is grave
doubt of 'Hembree's guilt of the. murder
of his wife' and daughter, and that
whether there was doubt or not, the
Governor is not .responsible for the re
lease. Hembree was tusned loose upon
parole under provisions of the. parole law.
enacted by the Legislature of 1905.
"That statute leaves me no discretion
If the prisoner's conduct in the peniten
tiary has been good,' said the Governor
today. "His conduct in prison is hall T
have a right to take into consideration
in determining whether to grant a parole.
If that is an unwise regulation, the fault
lies with the law and not; with me. Sec
tion 3 of the act of 1205 provides:
"Hie Governor shall not hear or entertain
any petition or any. argument of attorneys for
the parole of any prisoner, but the. only ground
for the granting of a parole shall be such
prieon'er's- 'general demeanor and rerd for
good conduct at the penitentiary. This shall,
not. however, preclude the Governor from ob
taining other Information In regard to said
prisoner and in regard to the circumstances
Ukely to surround him if paroled, or from .con
sidering any recommendation in regard thereto
made by the court in which said prisoner was
committed. ' ..
"This section plainly Indicates that
conduct in prison is the sole ground for
granting a parole. I assume that Judges
are aware of this .and that when they
impose an indeterminate sentence the
character of the criminal and the nature
of his offense are such as to warrant a
parole" at the end of the minimum .term
pravided by law if the prisoner's conduct
has been good. If a convict is not a
fit subject for parole under the terms of
the statute, he should not be given an
indeterminate sentence.
"Section 2 'of the act of 1B05 makes it
my duty to require from the Superinten
dent of the Penitentiary a report from
the - behavior of a prisoner serving an
indeterminate sentence. " I did this in the
Hembree case, and the report, was that

do not see what else there was for -me
to do but grant the .parole. The xne'rlts
of the case. In the first Instance were
not within my knowledge, and . It was
not proper for me to consider them even
if they were.
'I understand, however, that there were
serious doubts as to aembree's guilt
He jvas charged with murdering his wife
and daughter and burning their oodles.
His crime was cold-blooded murder if It
was -a crime at all. Yet the Jury found
him guilty of" manslaughter, of which he
could not have .been guilty". This In itself
Indicates that the Jury had doubt as to
his guilt. I am informed, moreover," that
both the trial Judge and the Prosecuting
Attorney were not' entirely satisfied with
the .evidence- .These' matters however,
I did not take into consideration in grant
ing the parole, governing myself entirely
by the record of prison conduct, as tne
law directs.
"In paroling Hembree . I imposed ex
actly the same conditions as in all other
cases under the parole law. These con
ditions . were contained in a letter noti
fying the prisoner of his release, and by
accepting the parole he agrees to the con
ditions." .
The conditions are as follows:
I have this day certified to the Superin
tendent of the Oreeron Penitentiary an' order

said -parole has been and is granted to you
upon the following conditions:
' First. Tou shall proceed at once to your des

him.
" Second. Tou ehall under no consideration
leave the state unless granted permission to do
so by the proper authorities. '
"Third. During your parole period you shall
be under the direction and- control of the
Superintendent of the Penitentiary until the
expiration of the maximum term of your een
tence, unless sooner discharged.

Sixth. The parole in this case ts granted to

standing that the Governor may at any. time

TILLAMOOK, Or., Jan. 7. (Special.)
The business men' here are still -in 'a

getting their freight from Astoria and
In ordering more goods from Portland,
as they continue to receive word from
the business houses that the O. R. & N.
Co. and the A. C. R. R. will not receive
freight for Tillamook, owing to the con
gestion of Tillamook freight on the docks
at Astoria. As the Miami Lumber Com
pany has two steamers on the ways at
San Francisco, an effort is being made
for them to carry freight between that
port and Tillamook as soon as they are
put into commission for the lumber trade,
which will be the cause of a great deal
of the Tillamook trade going to San
Francisco. Some of the business men
have freight at Astoria which has been
