mony this morning.
t B. Zaehary admits that in re
turn for pleading; a-uilty and testi
fying f"r the Government In the
Hall-Mays case. . Zarhary and Hen
dricks have been assured that their
punishment will be a fine of $2oO
and one day In the county Jail. Both
of these defendants requested the
Government for a chance to plead
Ktiilty and to tell what they knew.
V. r. Mays may ba, called as a
witness for the Government today,
further to prove the alleged agree
ment between Hall and Stelwer. It
la said that Mays. If called, will
testify that as attorney for the Butta
Creek Company he Interceded with
Hall In the Interest of the non
prosecution of Stelwer ior violating
the fence laws.
Shortly before court adjourned yester
day afternoon, W. W. Stelwer, president
of the Butte Creek Larni, Livestock -&
Lumber Company, pleaded guilty to . the
conspiracy Indictment and was Imme
diately called by Hency as a witness for
the Government against his co-defendants.
Hall and Mays. Stelwer related
the substance of a conversation he had
with Hall In Portland In 1900, when the
District Attorney told Stelwer that it
would probably be necessary for him
(Hall) to prosecute the Butte Creek Com
pany for maintaining unlawful fences.
Heney asked the witness to give his
"understanding" of that conversation,
but counsel for the defendants objected
to that form of examination and Judge
Hunt reserved his ruling until 10 o'clock
this morning, to which hour court ad
journed. Stelwer's confession and his appearance
as m witness . for the prosecution Is an
other move by Heney by which the Gov
ernment expects convincingly to fasten
the conspiracy charge against both Hall
and Mays. The alleged conspiracy has
been proved against Steiwer, Hendricks
and Zachary, officers of the Butte Creek
Company, but the testimony of these
three witnesses Is relied on by the Gov
ernment further to associate Hall and
Mays In that conspiracy. While the tes
timony of Hendricks was material to the
prosecution's case, Stelwer is considered
a more important witness, since It Is
expected to show by him that Hall de
clined to prosecute Steiwer and his asso
ciates in consideration of a political ob
ligation to Steiwer.
But there Is an Dnconlirmed rumor that
Heney today will call Franklin Pierce
Mays as a witness further to strengthen
the Government's case against Hall.
Mays Is a brother of Kdwin Mays, one
of the defendants, ami was attorney for
the Butte Creek Company. It is under
stood that should he be called he will
testify that he Interceded with Hall and
requested that Stelwer be not prosecuted
for maintaining unlawful fences.
Stelwer and Mays will be the last im
portant witnesses for the Government
and Heney expects to close his case either
late this afternoon or tomorrow.
Fulton Party to Deal?
If Senator Fulton is to be connected
In an unfavorable way with any phase of
-tlie alleged conspiracy, the threatened
disclosure by Heney will probably . de
velop at today's session In the examina
tion of Steiwer and Mays, should the lat
ter be called. Heney. it is believed, ex
pects to make good on his Implied
charges against Senator Filton of Im
proper official conduct by securing t.ie
admission from Stelwer that Fulton had
knowledge of the understanding between
Hall and Steiwer and was a party to that
agreement which involved Stetwer's vote
for Fulton for I'nited States Senator. By
the same witness testimony is expected
to show that Fulton not only knew of
the Immunity from prosecution Stelwer
and his association were enjoying, but
that he was a more active party to the
compact. In that he exerted his influence
wltii Hall to bring a civil and not a
criminal suit against the officers of the
.Butte Creek Company when Hall was
forced to act.
It was nearly 5 o'clock yesterday 'af
ternoon, following the examination of C.
B. Zachary, that Heney called W. W.
Stelwer. Entering the courtroom, Mr.
Stelwer walked to the desk of Clerk J.
A. Sladen and entered a plea of guilty
and then was sworn as a witness for the
Government. Mr. Steiwer said that he
first met Hall in the Summer or Fall of
1900. when he called at the District At
torney's office in the Federal building. Al
ter having Introduced himself, the wit
ness said he told Hall that he understood
that some complaints had been made
against the Butte Creek Company for
maintaining unlawful fences.
Hall Talks to Stelwer.
"Mr. Hall then showed me the com
plaint of E. A. PuWm.'1 testified Mr.
Steiwer, "and told me that if the mat
ter Was put up to him right, he would
have to take some action. Hall referred
to the Putnam complaint and said that If
Putnam employed an attorney and prop
erly presented his case, he. Hall, would
be obliged to proceed against the Butte
Creek Company and its officers." ,
Heney asked the witness to explain
what his "understanding" was of the
conversation he had with Hall, but Judge
Webster, counsel for Hall, Interposed an
objection, contending that Stelwer should
not be permitted to tell what he under
stood from the discussion, for the reason
that under the circumstances the witness

Throne Was Threatened by Re
publican Uprising.
undoubtedly would interpret the. inter
view with Hall in a way prejudicial to
the defendant. Heney insisted that a
conspiracy in the case at trial amounted
to a tacit understanding and that the
prosecution had the right to show the
understanding of either one or both of
the parties to the agreement. Heney fur- !
ther declared that the same; point was
raised in the Williamson case and .had
been sustained by the Supreme Court In
favor of the prosecution. He quoted the
following extract from the Williamson
decision In support of his argument:
We think It proper to permit the Interro
gation of the entrymen concerning their
understanding of the arrangement with Ges
ner and their intention at the time when
they made their preliminary declarations, as
the testimony was relevant to the question
of the nature and character of the deal
ings of the 'entrymen with the alleged con
spirators, and bore on the question of the
purpose or motive which Influenced 'the
making of the sworn statement required by
law as. a condition precedent to the purchase
of the land.
Judge Hunt requested that the decision
of the Supreme Court, together with the
records of the Williamson case, be fur
nished him, that he might determine the
application of the decision to. the point
Raised in the case on trial. He announced
tnat he would pass on tne oojecuon wnen
court convened tills morning.
Hendricks Is Cross-Examined. .
Hendricks was on the stand -until noon
yesterday, being subjected for the greater
part of the time to a vigorous cross
examination by Judge Webster, whose
evident purpose was to prove the incred
ibility of the witness. After gaining the
Admission from Hendricks that he had
been convicted of a charge of suborna
tion of perjury. Judge Webster severely
censured Hendricks for having assisted
various persons to acquire public land
by approving fraudulent filing of papers,
as well as sanctioning perjured final
proofs while serving as United . States
Commissioner. Hendricks was forced to
admit that "he had an intimation that the
claims were being taken by the entrymen
for the purpose of turning them over to
the Butte Creek Company, of which he
was secretary and treasurer.--
Hendricks was a reluctant witness on
cross-examination and revealed a very
derective memory as to dates and inci
dents connected with his visit to Port
land In May, 1900, when he suggested to
Hall the plot by which Stelwer's vote
for Senator could be controled by Hall.
In the course of the questioning, how
ever. Judge Webster learned from the
witness that he had pleaded guilty to the
conspiracy Indictment on his own accord.
Hendricks testified that when he reached
Portland, January 12 last, he caused his
attorney, Henry McGinn, to telephone T.
B. Neuhausen. special inspector to the
Interior Department who came to Mc
Ginn's office, where Hendricks voluntar
ily proposed to enter a plea of guilty.
He requested the recommendation of
Neuhausen for a reasonable sentence.
When asked what punishment had been
decided, on, Hendricks replied that this
detail had not been settled, although he
did not expect to receive anything less
than a fine of $250 and imprisonment for
one day in the County Jail, such a pen
alty having been imposed b Judge Wol
verton In a similar case and under the
eama circumstances. .
. Special Agent Loomls Involved.
While on the stand yesterday Hen
dricks made 'unfavorable disclosures
against C. El Loonils. a special agent,
who was shown to have "stood In" witii
the Butte Creek Company, although
knowing the generally fraudulent charac
ter of its operations, both in Inclosing
public land and In Inducing settlers ille
gally, to file on Government land which
was afterwards acquired by the com
pany for Its own use and benefit.
It was also while Hendricks was tes
tifying that a copy of the petition of
Wheeler County settlers to Binger Her
mann', demanding an investigation of
conditions in that county, was introduced
over the objections' of the defense. By

LISBON, Jan. 23. (By courier to Bada-
jos, Spain.) An abortive attempt to over
throw the monarchy and proclaim Portu
gal a republic was nipped in the bud last
night by the prompt action of the gov
ernment. The plot, was organized by a
small group of advanced Republicans. As
near as can be ascertained, the plan was
to assassinate Premier Franco and then
depend for success upon street risings,
supported by secret Republican and labor
organizations, armed with bombs and re-1
vol vers. !''.
The conspirators intended to take ad
vantage of various festivities to carry
out the coup d'etat. The royal family
was at Villa Viciosa, entertaining the
Duke of Abruzzi. Most of the army and
navy officers who were in the city were
attending a gala performance at. the. the
ater, while many of. the chief function
aries of state were present at a magnifi
cent ball at one of the legations.
Poflce Surprise Plotters. .
The police discovered what was in the
wind early in the evening and surrounded
a house where the ringleaders in the plot
were conferring. When they broke in the
door, the lights were extinguished, and
in the confusion that followed most of
the conspirators managed to make their
escape. Several of them were captured.

cellar.

house and the night passed without fur

Conspiracy Badly Organized.
From papers captured it was evident
that the conspiracy was badly organized
and premature. The leader has always
been an active revolutionist. After the
revolt in 1891 he escaped, to Brazil and
subsequently, being pardoned by amnes
ty, returned to Portugal. As the details
of the plot are in the hands of the po

The Premier has established a rigorous
censorship, so that news of the conspir

of Lisbon no disturbances are reported.
The peaceful section of the Republicans,
headed by Barnardino Macha, apparently
is in no way implicated in the affair.

that agitators against public order would

-WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Secretary of
War Taft Is carrying out the policy In
New York that he has directed his man
agers to follow in other states where
there are candidates for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency. In a
letter to Representative Herbert Parsons,
chairman of the Republican County Com
mittee of New York, the Secretary makes
It clear that he does not want his friends
to prosecute a campaign .as against Gov
ernor Hughes. - . The letter, which was
made public by Mr. Parsons tonight, fol
lows: "My Dear Parsons: I am aware that
you and many other friends of mine in
New York St,ite. who are also friends of
Governor Hughes, have kesitated as to
the course to pursue In respect to the
Republican nomination for the Presi
dency. I wish you- and them to know
that as' far', as I am concerned there
should be no embarrassment in this re
gard. -
"I have uniformly urged friends of mine
not to attempt to divide in my Interest
the delegation from any. state which has
a candidate of its own. Since Governor
Hughes has Indicated his willingness to
accept the .Republican nomination,-1 now
make the same request of you and my
other- friends in your state.'
, "Moreover-1 would deprecate a contest
.which might imperil Republican .victory
in New York In November. Anything
that I can do to avoid this I am anxious
to do."
TAFT STRONGER THAN FIELD
Friends Say He Is Reasonably Sure
of Xomination.
OREGONIAN NEW BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 23. It- may or may not be
true, as reported, that the President has
predicted the nomination of Secretary
Taft on the first ballot taken at the Re
publican National Convention next June,
but it is true that the President is confi
dent Taft will be nominated very early
in the game. He realizes that It Is now
Taft against the field, but from his an
alysts of the situation, according to close
friends, .he has no fear of the combined
strength of "the field."
Observers of political events agree that
Taft is today well in the lead of the
company of candidates, and while he yet
lacks reasonably safe assurance of the
votes of a majority of the delegates, he
has reason to expect very nearly enough
votes to give him the nomination. There
Is ample time before the convention to
secure enough more votes to make sure
his nomination, provided he pursues the
right course and continues to add to his
popularity.
Taft Easily Mates Friends.
Taft has a most pleasing personality:
he is a man who appeals to his fellQW
men. Wherever he has gone, either on
Government 'business or on a campaign
trip, he has made friends by the score.
and by continuing to travel and to ad
dress the voters, he is sure to increase
his following. Some of his friends,
knowing this, have urged the Secretary
to resign his Cabinet office and devote
his entire time and attention to his cam
paign. But there is little probability that
he will follow this advice. While he has
his heart set on the Presidency, he still
is aware that there is a duty imposed
upon him as head of the "War Depart
ment which he must perform, and as long
as that duty demands his attention he is
apt to remain in office. That is one of
the peculiarities of the man; it has char
acterized him throughout his entire pub
lic career.
Will Not Desert His Duty.
When he was in the Philippines he had
an opportunity to go upon the Supreme
Bench, but he felt that his duty in the
islands was not completed, so he de-

Minnesota, Chairman of Appropria
tions Committee. Who Predicts

cllned an appointment that would have
been most acceptable to him. Because
he could. still further aid the Philippines,
he later consented to accept the office of
Secretary -of- War, and since he entered
the Cabinet the Islands have had his
most watchful care. He has not brought
about everything for their relief that he
deslres-or that he believes they should
have, and-that is why he is not likely
to retire from the Cabinet. Should he
resign It would be only after he became
convinced that he could, by remaining.
do no more for the Philippine people,
whom he regards in a sense as his wards.
But Mr. Taft can remain in the Cabinet
and at the same time get about the
country, mixing with the people, and
making them acquainted with his ideas
and the-principles-for-which he stands.
He will not handle his campaign alone
there are influential Republicans in
various parts who. are even now looking
after the Interests of the Taft boom,
and as the -campaign waxes warmer.
other leaders will enter the field. The
Secretary is aware that the campaign is
yet in its infancy; a long ways from the
critical stage, and it Is not his purpose
to repeat the error of his original man
agers. in -wasting valuable ammunition
before the fight warms up. -
- States Claimed for Taft.
Mr. Taft's enthusiastic supporters claim
that the Secretary is now sure of 479
votes in : the convention; it requires 491
votes to nominate. The Pacific North
west is counted for Taft, and it seems
reasonably certain that Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho will vote for him. Cali
fornia is looked upon as a safe Taft
state and the same is true of Colorado,

Army of Unemployed.
STREET PARADE BROKEN UP
March Attempted in Defiance
of Official Warning.
LEADER UNDER ARREST
New "Coxej's Army" Had Planned
to Demand Work of til y. Says
Dr. Hell ma n, Socialist, Orig
inator of tlie Movement.'
CHICAGO, Jan. 23. An attempt o So
cialists to bring about a "march of the
unemployed" throuirh ' the downtown
streets today resulted in two sharp tights
with the police in which the would-be
marchers were routed after a number of
men had been clubbed. Dr. B. L,. Reit
man, the originator of the plan to march
through the streets, and two of his fol
lowers were arrested.
For several days Reitman, who is' a
Socialist, had been making announce
ments of his intention to hold a parade
of Mhobos" and 'unemployed''" despite
the warning given by Chief of Police
8hlppy that no march through the streets
would be permitted. Reitman continued
to defy the authorities and last night
thousands of circulars were distributed
through the downtown saloons and in the
lodging-house district, calling upon all
men out of work to assemble at 2 o'clock
on the lake front. The policemen early
In the day reiterated their statement that
the march would not be permitted, and
directed that all the police force be held
in reserve at the various stations.
Crowd Kallies to Call. -
At a minute before 2 o'clock a crowd
commenced to gather on Michigan ave
nue In froiit of the Art Institute and in
a few minutes a column, which .was
really a series of bunches of four or five
men, formed and headed by Reitman,
started vwest on Adams street. Tlie
marchers probably did not number more
than 200 at any time, but many hundreds
of people followed them along the side
walks and added to the confusion.
After marching a block west on Adams
street, Reitman counter-marched to Mich
igan avenue, passed north to Madison
street and then marched west two
squares. At this point he encoun
tered a strong squad of police under
the command of Assistant Chief of Po
lice Shuettler, who, after a command to
disband had been disregarded, ordered
his men to charge.
Police Use Clubs Freely.
The police came on at a run and the
column was instantly broken up. Several
men were knocked down and the police,
not attempting to make arrests, used
their clubs freely in quickening the foot
steps of the fleeing auriemployed." Fol
lowed closely by the police, the marchers
darted into the crowd of shoppers along
State street and several women were
pushed to the sidewalk' during the confu
sion. No arrests were made and nobody
-was seriously injured, although the police'
dealt vigorous thumps with tlicir clubs on
the heads and backs of the marchers.
A number of the marchers after gret
lng away from the police went south,
in State street, attempting to form an
other column as they went. At State
street and Jackson boulevard they had
formed the semblance of another
parade and, taking the middle of the
boulevard, they marched along six
abreast. Just before reaching Clark
street they were met by- another de
tachment of police under IJeutenants
White and Mooney. Another command
to disperse met no response, the
marchers attempting to shoulder their
way along.
Charge Mob Second Time.
The police Instantly charged, swing
ing their clubs right and left. The
marchers fled wildly, some of them
running Into the doorway of the Union
League Club, while others sought
safety within the postofflce building.
Reitman turned south In Clark street,
but was quickly caught and placed
under arrest. He showed some fight
and was handled in vigorous style.
His hat was smashed by a blow from
a policeman's club, he was knocked
down and his clothing torh. When he
regained his feet he shouted : ,
"Let me go; let me go. I know the
chief of police." He was at once taken
to police headquarters, followed by a
crowd of 2009 people. After reaching
the station Reitman said:
Reitman Protests Treatment.
"I was" arrested without cause ana
was treated brutally. Some policeman
hit me over the head with his club.
There would have been no disorder if
the police had allowed us to march
through the streSsta as we wished to do.
All we wanted was to go to the City
Hall and demand that men out of work
be given employment by the ctty."
As soon as it was known that fight
ing hid taken place In the streets.
Chief of Police. Shippy called In the
reserves from the nearby stations and
within a few minutes the Central po
lice station was filled with officers.
