SALKM. Or.. April 15. (Special.)
"Before an audience of 3000 people
Francis J. Honey this afternoon de
nounced the persistent effort of Sen
' ator C. W. Kulton to protect his po
litical friends from prosecution by the
Government. The address, delivered in
Marion Square, was chiefly a Rood cit
izenship npeech and Senator Fulton
wan mentioned only incidentally, as
were Ruef. Schmltz and the Aldermen
whom Folk prosecuted in St. Louis.
Though Heney spoke for throe hours
and a half the audience remained to
the end. frequently greeting liis re
marks with applause and occasionally
breaking forth in cheers. L. H. Mc
Millan presided and introduced tne
speaker.
Mr. Heney. among; other things, said
that his purpose Is not to put men In
Jail but to show the people of this and
other states the maimer in which men
or corporations of wealth control con
ventions, name the candidates, bribe pub
lic officials and thereby secure advantages
and prutcetlon not enjoyed by the people
K'nerally. This having been shown, he
mill. II remained for tho people to rem
e.lv existing evils on election day. The
nudiriice laughed over hia reference to
"how beautifully the machine worked In
Oregon." and he was cheered when he
said that the people of this stale do not
appreciate what they have in the direct
primary and Statement No. 1.
Kulton and His "Friends."'
The .imttli-Mitchcll-Kulton bribery af
fair he did not mention except to say
that the people of Salem know pretty
well what took place in the legislative
session of lsi7 and that it would be un
necessary for him to repeat the story.
After telling of the graft prosecutions in
San Francisco and tho efforts of larjau
business Interests there to discredit and
hinder his work aa soon as he began
prosecuting Ruef and Schmltz, he turned
to Oregon and discussed Fulton.
When Senator Fulton spoke in Salem
a few days ago. ha admitted standing by
his friends, and this Mr. Heney made the
subject of frequent reference. He said
that for the protection of hia "friends"
Fulton had tried to prevent his (Heney's)
employment 10 prosecute the land-fraud
cases. He related at length the efforts
of Senator Fulton to secure for W. N.
lones patents to land in the Silrts. coun
try, which patents were refused for fraud.
Jones, he said, was a member of t?.e Leg
islature and a "friend" of Fulton.
Attack San Francisco Paper.
He went over In general way the
correspondence and negotiations con
cerning the appointment of a District
Attorney, in which both Senators
Mitchell and Fulton had sought to pro
tect their "friend'' Brownell. Then he
took up the Steiwer matter and Jabbed
Fulton for trying to protect another
"friend" from prosecution. In a similar
strain he referred to Fulton's active
interest In Williamson. Hermann and
Mays. Nearly every reference to one
of Fulton's "friends" aroused laughter.
An unexpected incident in tho ad
dress wsa a scathing denunciation of
Alfred Holman. proprietor of the San
Francisco Argonaut, an article from
which Heney's enemies have had pub
lif'hed in Oregon papers as an adver
tisement. Holman Is well known In
Salem, and for that reason the scoring
he received was of particular interest.
. Honey called him a "sycophant and a
parasite upon the rich." and declared
that Holman would rather go t.o hades
In a palace car than to heaven In a
tourist. He asserted that Holman lwid
commended his prosecution of the San
Francisco Supervisor but changed his
attitude when the prosecution disclosed
crime higher up.
Not Making Political Speeches.
During the address someone in the
audience sent up a note saying that it
had been rumored that he has been
employed by Governor Chamberlain to
come here and attack Fulton. "
In a dramatic manner, Heney replied
that there is not money enough In the
1'nitcd Stales to hire him to make a
political speech for any man.
When the applause had aubslded he
said that he loves the people of Oregon
because he believes they are honest, as
evidenced hy the fact that every Oregon
jury he has tried a case before has
done Its duty. He proposes jto devote
his spare time the rent of his life, he
said, to exposing the rascality of Dem
ocrats and riepublioans alike.
While In Salem, Mr. Heney is a guest
of Hon. A. Fush. Mr. Heney will go
to Portland tomorrow and deliver an
address In Dr. Clarence True Wilson's
church on the East Side In the evening.

Say Heney's Speech Has Pone More '
Good Than Harm.
Friends of Senator Fulton In Portland
yesterday declared that they were not
alarmed over Heney's presence in this
city. They Insist that the graft prose
cutor is doing Fulton more good than
harm and the announcement that Heney
would return and deliver another address
here was greeted with smiles by Fulton's
supporters. Tt is contended by the friends
of the Senator that Heney's address at
the Exposition building Saturday night
was not only a disappointment, but a dis
mal failure, so far as associating Fulton
with anything detrimental to his record
aa a legislator was concerned. They
charge further that Heney's address Sat
urday night was but a reiteration of his
former general accusations, which were
not corroborated or substantiated.
Senator Fulton will address the voters
at Ija Grande tonight, returning to Port
land tomorrow morning. At the Armory
tomorrow night, Fulton will deliver his
first public address in Portland, when his
friends predict that he -will be able to
explain satisfactorily every charge of
questionable official conduct thst has
Jjeen preferred by Heney. Wednesday
night Senator Fulton will speak at Oregon
City, closing the campaign with another
meeting in Portland Thursday night. This
meeting will be held In the Savoy Hall,
Raat Btirnside and Grand avenue.
DROUGHT KILLING LAMBS
EWES CANNOT FURNISH MIL.K
TO KEEP THEM ALIVE.
Some Flocks Depleted as Much a
BO Per Cent Hurrying Them
on to Forest Reserve.
PENDLETON. Or.. April II. (Special.)
Losses totaling thousands of dollars are
being suffered weekly by the sheepmen
of Kastern Oregon on account of the ex
tended drought which this section of the
state is experiencing, according- to prom
inent woolgrowers. who are in the city
to attend the meeting of the executive
committee of the State Woolgrowers As
sociation and the advisory board of the
eastern division of the Blue Mountain
forest.
The loss is due to the death of a large
percentage of the lamb crop, many flocks
being depleted as much as 60 per cent.
John Kilkenny, a prominent sheepowner,
from Hcppner, said:
"I am expecting the heaviest losses this
year in the crop of young lambs that the
sheepmen have had for many years.
The lack of rainfall during the Spring
and tho few anows during the late Win
ter have prevented the grass from grow
ing as rapidly as It should. But it is not
the graas which Is the most desperate
need of the bands. It Is water. 1 have
never known of the water being more
scarce than it is this year. Without water
to drink, the ewes will be unable to sup
ply the sucking lambs with sufficient
milk to .keep them alive. I have already
heard of thousands having died this sea
son from this cause. My flock has not
suffered in the least from the cold, but
the lambs have already begun to die, and
I can see no way to stop the loss.".
Floekmasters are making feverish haste
to get their flocks on the Forest Reserve
range to protect themselves against fur
ther loss, but the Government restrictions
make the 'transfer necessarily slow.

erty moved onto the streets from
buildings in the path of the flames.
Colonel Wood, commanding the ma
rines at the Charlestowm Navy-yard,
volunteered the services of the One
Hundred and Fifth Company, stationed
at the Navy-yard. and. on request of
Mayor Beck, the company was sent to
the fire under command of Captain
Hill. Rear-Admiral Swift, of the Navy
yard, also sent out all the men from
the receiving ship Wabash who were
not already off on leave. These sailors
were not sent under command of an
officer, but were instructed to give
their services wherever needed.
Marines with fixed bayonets held
back the crowds, while the militia and
sailors helped families remove their
goods. Advance squads of the military
and police were sent ahead, warning
families living in the path of the fire,
which leaped block after block with
astonishing rapidity.
The crowds generally were easily
handled. Occasionally some excited
man would burst through the cordon
of militia and marines to dash into a
house for some forgotten valuables, but
the presence of so many uniformed
guards overawed the rougher element.
Starts In Rag Warehouse.
The fire started on the marshes
bordering the eastern division tracks
of the Boston & Maine Railroad, in the
rear of the Boston Blacking Company's
works, where employes were drying
out rags. The works are situated at
the end of West Third street, half a
mile north of the heart of the city.
A aeries of long, low wooden build
ings comprised the works, stored for
the most part with old rags and paper.
The exact cause of the fire is not
known, but it is supposed that spon
taneous combustion among the rags
was responsible.
A high wind blowing at 45 miles
an hour from the northwest drove the
flames from the rag heaps directly
upon the wooden buildings of the Bos
ton Blacking Company. The build
ings were soon a mass of flames and.
as the surrounding property consisted
largely of wooden buildings used for
the storage of rags, the fire depart
ment realized that a serious fire was
threatened and a general alarm .was
sounded. In the gale, shingles, burn
ing paper, oil-soaked rags were flung
high into the air and went soaring
over the city.
Dozen Factories in Flames.
Within half an hour the Rosen
felt Bros.- three-story wooden rag fac
tory on Maple street was in flames, as
was the Chaplis & Sodden Carworks.
Tons of tarred paper were stored in
the factory and clouds of smoke ren
dered the firemen's work extremely
difficult. Soon a dozen factories and
cheap tenements west' of Everett ave
nue were in flames- and the firemen
say they were utterly unnble to cope
with the conflagration.
Realizing that the city was appar
ently doomed if the flames could not
be stopped at Everett avenue. Fire
Chief H. A. Spencer summoned help
from Boston and nil the surrounding
cities and towns. Four alarms were
rung In on the Boston circuit and all
the available apparatus was sent across
the harbor. Early" in the afternoon aid
hod arrived from Lynn, Haverhill.
Wakefield. Salem,- Maiden, Cambridge,
Winthrop and Revere.
Congregation in Burning Church.
The first evidence of the fire on tha
East side was when the roof of the
People's Methodist Episcopal . Church
on Fourth street was eee.i to be ablaze.
The services were in progress .Inside
at the time and the congregation waa
unaware that a serious fire was raging
outside. Some one ouillficd the .pastor.
He immediately turned to his people,
tolJ them of the danger, and advised
them to file slowly from the building.
Twenty . minutes later there, was not
a vestige of the edifice left.
Heaps of'burnlng enjbers and a suf
focacing cloud of dust hurled down
across- Everett ' avenue- by -the gale,
coupler) with the ii.tense h-eat. drove
the fireme.rtfrom their posts anrt.those
families nearest the conflagration had
only-TimetoTusTi-from their homes nnd
save their lives, losing all their pos
sessions. , "
. Far down Everett avenue to the
srutli the firemen battled with the
flames In an endeavor to save part of
the business section 'and to confine the
fire to that part J of,' the city between
the railroad tracks and Everett avenue.
Within an area of half of a square
were several churches and schools.
One by one they fell before the flames.
When the polish Catholic Church
caught fire the pastor had Just closed
service "and many people were In snd
about the edifice. In 15 minutes the
entire top of the church was in flames.
All tho movable effects and furniture
were removed. The loss on the Polish
Church is estimated at J75.000.
. Burning of Church Spire.
A hundred yards away, at the corner
of Chestnut and Fourth streets, the
First tlniversalist Church caught fire
and was soon enveloped in flames. The
pastor declared that tho loss would be
fully $8(1,000. A spectacular feature of
the burning of the Universalist Church
was the picture of the flames as they
burned completely around the base of
the great golden cross which tipped
the spire. For a few minutes It stood
out agisjnst the sky a flaming golden
beacon and then with a rrash tumbled
headlong into the roof, breaking as it
struck .the roof, one part going into the
interior of the edifice and the other
striking the street. .
Fp to this time the fire had been
confined to the west of Everett avenue.
That it could be stopped was beyond
all question an impossibility, how
ever, for already embers had started
fires all the way from Everett avenue
across Broadway, leaping the business
strtet of the city and creating new
sources of danger in the poorer tene
menVresidentiai portion of the city be
tween Broadway and the waterfront.
Spreading to tne northeast from Ever
ett avenue, the fire seised upon the
rows of business blocks facing on
Broadway and enveloped one after an
other, creeping slowly but steadily
toward Chase Square, tne center of the
cltv.
The Fitx Public Library, a magnifi
cent stone structure, was destroyed and
the flames-crept toward the Ford Hos
pital.
Patients Rushed From Hospitals.
By requisitioning the ambulances
from surrounding towns and cities and
calling into service all available car
riages the police were able speedily
to remove the -inmates of the Frost
Hospital and the Children's Hospital to
retreats of safety at the city limits.
It Was none too soon, for both hospita
buildings were shortjy consumed.
The tire at the Fits Library marked the
limit of the burned area on Broadway to
the east. On Broadway the Masonic Tern
pie and Oddfellows building were burned,
as were 12 business blocks, mostly of
brick construction. The fire swept down
Hroadwav west to within a block of
Chelsea Square, where It seemed to be
held in check late in the afternoon. In
the meantime, between Broadway and the
waterfront the southern section- of the
city was in flames. No one knew where
! the Are would spring up next. All of the
firemen were in the enter of the city
and a half-mile square of the residen
tial section was in flames, with no pro
tection available or possible. Al! the
money men possessed was offered to
teamsters to cart away household goods,
but there were few teams to be had.
Flight of the Homeless.
Over Chelsea bridge into East Boston
streamed a long line of fire refus-es. lug
ging what few household effects they were
able to save. Push carts, drays and even
baby carriages were piled high with fur
niture and bedding. Hundreds of per
sons carried huge bundles tied up in
sheets. These were mostly gray-headed
women of the . foreign chasse. Amang
these poor people there did not seem to
be any panic- All seemed stunned by
the disaster that had wiped out their
homes.
Several of the large type of cars used
bv the Boston Elevated Railway In the
East Boston tunnel, and abandoned when
It was found necessary to shut off the
power, were left helpless in the streets
swept by the flames. In the flrehouse of
Engine Company No. 1. a brick atrue-.
ture, at the corner of Marginal and Es
sex streets, were stored many trunks and
other fcrniture, -wfhtch had to be aban
doned on command of a marine, who
warned the people Juet as the flames
broke out In the rear of the building.
City Hall Makes One Bite.
The greatest damage was done when
the fire reached the City Hall Square,
at the Junction of Park and "Washing
ton streets. The First Baptist Church
first caught Are on the highest part af
the spire. Soon the roof was In flames,
and then the embers settled down on
the unoccupied church building of St.
Luke's Episcopal Parish, and the quar
ters of the Veteran Firemen's Associa
tion. The tower of the Unitarian
Church on Hawthorne street then be
came enveloped In flames, and In a few
moments every building In the square,
with exception of the City Hall, was in
flames.
For a time it looked as if the mag
nificent City Hall, built of brick and
sepatated from all other buildings by
a wide area, might be saved. The hope
was but momentary, however, for about
3 o'clock a tiny flickering flame was
seen gaining headway under the coping
of the cupola. Gathering force in the
mighty wind, the flames licked the
cupola, exposed the great bell in the
tower and crept down into the main
structure. Next to the element se
cured control of the Interior, and then
the entire structure was swept away
and a dozen other new buildings in the
vicinity had ignited from the sparks
and heat. Within a half-hour, in thia
one square, four churches and the City
Hall were leveled to the ground.
Driven From Their Refuge.
Down Maverick, Congress and Essex
streets the fire swept by leaps and
bounds'. A four-story brick building at
the corner of Congress and Shurtleff
streets was seemingly far removed
from danger and had been sought by
many families as temporary storage
for their effects. Suddenly came tho
cry that .the block was afire. Again
men. women and children, but a few
momenta before congratulating them
selves on their distance from danger.
were hurrying into the streets with all
they possessed. Half an hour later the
block was flat.
It was the same story throughout
the whole southessit side. Down the
waterfront the flames swept. Factories
along Maverick and Marginal streets
were enveloped in flames. Behind the
banks of flames families were cut off
for a time from help and escape. East
and Shawmut avenue, on Maverick and
Congress streets, were scores of fami
lies burned out and homeless, who were
helpless to convey their possessions to
s, place of safety. Steadily tliey were
rorced back by the flames, which were
being hurled down upon them by the
gale until It became necessary in or
der to save their lives to retreat
around the wharf frontage toward
Kevere.
Great Oiltanks Explode.
Suddenly there was a terrific explosion
and the oil tanks of the Tidewater Oil
Company on the waterfront burst into
flames. Thousands of gs lions of oil were
soon burning, and gigantic clouds of black
smoke curled and rose Into the sky, mak
ing it as night all over the Bast End. The
smoke was seen as far away as Ports
mouth, N. H.
Firebrands were swept across Chelsea
Creek to East Boston and Ave dwellings
in Wadsworth street and vicinity were
consumed. The East Boston works of
the Standard Oil Company were at one
time in danger and the work of the fire
men was directed especially toward pre
venting an explosion of the oil tanks
This work was difficult, and for a long
time Its success was doubtful, as burning
oil spread out over the water and blazing
embers constantly were being driven by
the gale across the creek.
At 9 o'clock word spread among the
weary firemen that the stand at the
square had succeeded and that the fire
at last was under control.
Burned Hainan Bodies.
Medical Examiner McGrath said at 10
o'clock tonight that two bodies had been
found. A body at the corner of Essex
and Highland streets the medical exam
iner believed to be that of a young wo
man perhaps 20 years old. The other
body was found in the ruins of a building
at 12 Watts street. This Is also thought
to be that of a woman. The only pos
sible means of Identification of either of
the bodies Is by teeth peculiarities. At
this time it was also reported that the
bodies of a man an woman were in the
ruins on Broadway, but it was imposslblo
to make any search until the ruins be
came cooler.
Guarding Ruins, Aiding Homeless
The force of National Guardsmen
called to patrol the streets of the
burned section was increased tonight
by the arrival of Company L of the
Fifth Infantry. Company B of the
Eighth Infantry, and the Fifth Corps
of Coast Artillery. A marine guard
or 100 men under Captain Charles S.
Hill was. also on duty. Four squads
or marines were placed to protect val
uable safes In the ruins of different
buildirgs. A detail of 75 policemen
from Boston was stationed at various
entrances to the city with orders to
prevent anybody from coming in, with
the exception of firemen, policemen,
soldiers and newspapermen.
It Is estimated tonight that nearly
10.000 persons. are homeless. Neighbor
ing cities and .the commonweal'.h
hastened to the assistance of the fire
sutferers. Two representatives of tho
State Board of Charity were on the
scene early, being sent by Acting Gov
error Draper. The Boston charitable
authorities were also prompt to give
assistance, while the Salvation Army
and the Associated Charities made
every effort to care for the homeless.
Thousands were sent to Boston, where
they were furnished with food and
lodging at numerous public buildings,
such as schools, armories, etc. Various
halls, churches and other public build
ings in the unburned section of Chel
sea were also thrown open to shelter
the unfortunates.
In addition to offers of financial aid
and shelter for the homeless came
guarantees from bakers, dairies, farms
and provision , dealers of a plentiful
supply of food. A relief committee was
formed-which will meet to consider
definite measures of relief.
