STEEL DENIES ALL GUILT
II I Charged HI HcIumuis With
Hom and Other Hank Officials
Were Criminal and Convic
tion I Promised.
IMMrii-t Attrmv Manning vsterday
announced that ho would Indict State
Treagunr Steel fr his connection with
the indict. d officers of the Title Guaran
tee & Trust l'oniany in their conversion
N of siato funds. Mr. Manning said, he
would not deride on what charge. Mr.
fiteel would be imltrted until lie had
concluded an investigation he is making
as to the relations between the State
T reaHurer and the bank officials. It is
pruliuhle tlie Indictment will chars Steel
with convert ins the educational funds of
the utate to his own Mse by turning
it over to the Title bank as a check de
posit. It is learned at the District Attorney's
office that Mr. Steel would have been
indicted at t he same time bills were re
turned against J. Thorburn Rnsi, John
Aitchison, T. T. Burkhart and tSeorge H.
hut for the fact that he was wanted
as a witness for the prosecution and had
he been indicted lie would not have been
Available in that capacity. However,
Steel was a disappointment to the state
In the Ross trial, failing to shed any
light on his deposit of state funds and
how they were handled by the bank. The
Attitude of Steel at that time was such
h to convince Mr. Manning that the wit
ness was withholding much that would
have been material to the state and it
was for that reason the District Attor
ney began a further inquiry into Steel's
transactions with the bank and which un
doubtedly will result in the indictment of
that official.
Threatens to liulict.
"I propose to indict State Treasurer
Ft eel for hia partieipation in the con
version of the educational funds of the
state to the use of the officials of the
Title Guarantee & Trust Company," said
District Attorney Manning" last night.
"Kvery new development serves only
more positively to associate Mr. Steel
with the unlawful operations of the in
dicted bank officials and I feel that It is
my duty to punish this man Just as
much as It is to prosecute the bank
officials themselves. There is no question
liut that Steel was connected with the
transaction of which Ross has been con
victed. The manner in which the State
Treasurer shielded Ross while a witness
for the prosecution in the recent trial
convinced me that there was something in
addition to the truth he was seking to
shield.
! am not prepared to say on what
grounds Steel will be Indicted and cannot
say until 1 have concluded an investi
gation I ant now making. It is possible
that he will be charged with converting
th educational fund of the state to his
own use by turning It over to the Title
Guarantee & Trust Company's bank as a
check deposit. From an investigation I
am conducting 1 may tind that Steel can
he Indicted in connection with the item
of J4HS of which he claims to have no
knowledge, although the entry on the
brink books appears to indicate that It
was a credit in Steel's favor of an m
terest payment on state funds deposited
In the bank. There is still another charge
on which the State Treasurer can be
reached through an indictment and which
1 consider even stronger than the other
two but I cannot discuss it now. I am
fully convinced that if indicted there can
be no question of securing the convic
tion of Steel."
Relations Were Criminal.
District Attorney Manning is convinced
that the relations of Ross. Burkhart and
Steel were much closer than was brought
out at the Ross trial because of the un
willingness of Steel as a witness. It is
also considered probable that knowledge
of the Investigation Mr. Manning is niak- (
lug or Meet and his relations with the
wrecked bunk has influenced Burkhart in
his reported decision, to plead guilty.
Harrison Allen, attorney fur Burkhart.
stoutly denies that his client contem
plates admitting his guilt, but it is under
stood that the bank's treasurer has made
overtures of the kind to the District At
torney's office in the interest of a mini
mum punishment. Mr. Manning, how
ever, refuses to discuss the report, which
also has it that Burkhart is to become a
witness for the state in the event Steel is
Indicted, and relate some of the Inner se
crets of the defunct bank's system of
high finance, including the relations sus
tained by Rosfi and Steel.
"The charge that 1. as State Treasurer,
had any irregular relations with tiie
Title Guarantee & Trust Company is ab
furd and is not supported by the facts,'
said State Treasurer Steel last night. "My
only relations with the bank were purely
of a business character, and were not
nctuated by political or other considera
tions. I am surprised that any expert
should undertake to make out anything
irregular of t hose rel art ions from an in
vestigation of the bunk records.
.Merely u Coincidence.
"I can only say that it is a coincidence
that the entry of $4148. or any other sum.
on t he books of the bank should equal
the interest calculation on any particular
mount of state fund that might have
Iv en in the bank at any time. My trans
itions with the bank were nil straight
so far as I knew, and I again declare
that I have never at any time received
from thbi hank, or from any other bank,
one cent of Interest on state funds de
posited in such institutions that was not
turned into the state treasury. In fact,
1 entered into business relations with the
Title Guarantee & Trust Bunk only after
1 had satisfied myself of its condition
and honestly believed that it was perfect
ly safe. Had I not every confidence in
the stability of the institution. 1 would
never have allowed more than one
fourth of -the money on deposit there to
remain.
'Aa fo the threatened indictment of my
self. I cannot imagine what I am to he
indicted for. I do not fear an indictment.
Krom the time 1 took charge of the office
of State Treasurer to the present time,
my hooks have at all times been open to
the inspection of the public. 1 have al
ways been willing to have the hooks ex
amined thoroughly, believing that the of
fice is in as good shape as that of any
other State Treasurer's accounts in the
Cnitcd States. I am satisfied that a fur
ther investigation will reveal to all fair
minded persons that there was at no time
anything questionable in my relations
w ith th suspended bank."
Governor Chamberlain last night de
clined to discuss the subject of Treas
urer Steel's probable Indictment. "Be
cause of my relations with Mr. Steel
on the State Board." 1 do not wfsii at
tills time to make any statement." said
the- Governor. "My greatest interest in

Chit-Chat of Sporting
World
BY WILL. G. MAC RAE.
PRESIDENT PUDL.IAM. of the Na
tional League, suggests that baseball
scorers should hold annual meetings. If
this should be done, there would be a
uniformity of scoring that would put an
end of all the present confusion. Presij
dent Pulliam has also made a recent
ruling on base stealing. When a double
steal is successfully executed both base
runners get credit, but if the catcher
naps one. there is no stolen base. In
case a catcher drops the ball, and the
runner is started to steal as the pitcher
delivers the ball, he gets the stolen base.
Get your dogs benched early this morn
ing. This will save a lot of worry by
the Kennel Club officials.
There will be another year of the gloss
finished ball among the minor leagues.
The manufacturers can supply only the
major league with the lossless article.
A claim that the minor leagues are
stronger than ever, based on- the games
they have won from major league teams.
Is opposed by Sporting Life, which says
that It's due to the foul strike rule. We
agree with our Boston friend. The minors
are faster, and have great ball players on
their rolls of honor.
President Johnson, of the American
League, stamped out rowdy baseball; now
he is after rowdy rooters. Here's success
to you, Ben.

Chamberlain Opens Senatorial
Campaign.
RIGHT ON STATEMENT NO. 1
Governor Points With Pride to Fact
That lie Was One or Original
Supporters and Agrees Always
to Follow People's Wishes.
Before an audience of BOO people in
Bickner's Hall, at St. John, last night.
Governor Chamberlain delivered the open
ing speech in his Senatorial campaign,
setting forth his views on the issues be
fore the people and the needs of the
state in the matter of legislation and ap
propriations. tSovernqr Chamberlain was
listened to with close attention through
out his address, his remarks frequently
eliciting loud applause! Rev. F. L. Young
acted as chairman and introduced the
speaker.
Preceding Governor Chamberlain's ad
dress. Bishop Barclay was introduced and
delivered, a short speech. At the con
clusion of the principal address. ex-Sheriff
Word, Prosecuting Attorney Manning and
J. A. Jeffrey, candidate for Congress
from the Second District, spoke briefly.
Governor Chamberlain's opening re
remarks were devoted to a review of the
advanced position that the state has
taken in the matter of legislation. He
traced the growth of 8lie initiative and
referendum and the causes which were
favorable to its development. The Gov
ernor laid especial stress on the fact that
when the doctrine was first originated
and when a large number of the public
men of the state were opposed to it, he
advocated it as a timely and effective
measure. He also stated that in Mr.
Cakes previous campaign he had not
declared himself with regard to State
ment No. 1.
To the assertion that In electing a
Democrat to the Senate he would be
powerless to serve his constituents be
cause he would not be In accord with
the party In power. Governor Cham
berlain expressed the conviction that
such a condition would not In the
least hamper his influence or effi
ciency. He said he believed the Quali
fications for the office of Senator
were competency, capability and fit
ness. If he were not capable of fill
ing the office, then, he said the peo
ple should elect Mr. Cake, but not to
be deceived by the argument that a
Democrat would be able to do nothing
for his constituents. In support of
this claim. Governor Chamberlain re
ferred to ex-Congressman Hermann,
who secured many appropriations for
this state during the Cleveland admin
istration. He also referred to the
heavy appropriations for waterway
improvements in the South which are
secured exclusively by Democratic
members.
It was during the terms of Senators
Fulton anad Gearin. who held oppos
ing political views, the speaker point
ed out, that the largest appropriation
for the mouth of the Columbia was
secured. By statistics furnished him
by the Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, the Governor showed that in
states where the senatorial represent
ation has been divided, the results to
their constituents in the matter of
appropriations have been quite as fa
vorable as in states where the repre
sentation has represented but one
party.
The Governor said he had during his
term of office always tried to find
out what the people want. He be
lieved it necessary that the people
should present their needs and that
their representative in the Senate
should be one who knows how to pre
sent their needs. He dwelt at length
on the importance to this state of the
deepening of the waterways, in solv
ing the problems of transportation,
and gave the results of his observa
tions on his trip down the Mississippi
with President Roosevelt and at the
Waterways Congress at Memphis,
Tenn.
The reclamation work In this state
was referred to, and the system by
which the work is expedited by pri
vate corpoiations. He believed, he
said, that the work should be done
solely by the Government.
I promise you," said the speaker,
to do my level best, should I be
elected, to see to it that the money
that Oregon pays Into the United
States Treasury comes baclt to the
people where it properly belongs."
He expressed himself strongly in
favor of an employers liability law.
He also favored the eight-hour day,
FIRST GUN
-
pointing out the urgent necessity of
shortening the hours of railroad em
ployes. The Governor advocated a rigid
exclusion law against Oriental immi
grants. "It Is not a question of senti
ment." said he, "it Is a question of
self-preservation and the preservation
of our liberties. It should be settled,
not by bullets, but by ballots; not by
revolution, but by law. We want no
new race questions introduced Into our
civilization."
Tariff revision, the conservation of
the water powers of the state and
other natural resources, the establish
ment of a postal savings bank, and
an inheritance tax were other meas
ures which received the speaker's in
dorsement. POLICE STOP HER SPEECH

PREACHES AGAINST EVILS OF
HOP-PICKING.
ORBOOX CITY. April 28. (Spe
cial. ) Rev. John M. Linden, pastor
of the First Baptist church, has in
stituted a vigorous crusade against
the members of his church picking
hops, stating that it Is encouraging
the liquor interests. In a. sermon Sun
day night, before a crowded church,
he said: "It requires a quickened
conscience to crystallize action
against hop-picking, which is part
of the process of beer-making. No
follower of Christ, vhose body is
the temple of the living God, oug-ht
to be engaged In helping along the
brewery business, especially when
he Is urged by Scripture to avoid
even the appearance of evil."
Casey began an impromptu address at
Seventh avenue and One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street and soon had an aud
ience of 1000 or more listening to her.
Undaunted by cries and impolite remarks
from the crowd, the Chicago speaker
persisted and by the time she was ready
to introduce Mrs. "Wells, the crowd
blocked traffic on the busy street and
soon extra forces of police were called
for.
The crowd absolutely refused to let the
English speaker proceed and after de
claring herself through with Harlem for
all time, Mrs. Wells and her companion
abandoned the field and permitted the
police to escort them to a car.
NEED ADDED FACILITIES
Adjutant-General Flnier Speak, for
Proposed Bill. Showing How
Inadequate Present equip
ment Is In This Mate.
Indorsement of the armory bill, which
ia to be voted on under the referendum
at the June election, was unanimously
glven last nlpht at a largely-attended
meeting of the Spanish-American Wr
veterans. The veterans pledged them
selves to support the bill earnestly, as
Individuals and as an organization, tak
ing the stand that the passage of the bill
makes for better military training and,
therefore, is a measure of National as
well as local Importance. The view was
taken that under the American policy of
keeping a small Army, it becomes the
American people to be willing to spend at
least a few dollars to facilitate the train
ing of a large and Inexpensive reserve
fighting force such as the National
Guard.
Indorsement of the bill was recommend
ed by Adjutant-General V. E. Finaer.
who spoke earnestly on the need of the
measure. He pointed out that 12 company
stations In the state are now without suit
able armories for their weekly drills
and for the storing of equipment. The
armory bill, as passed by the last Legis
lature, he explained, sets apart J25.000
Rer year ror lour years for the construc
tion of suitable state armories. ArIHb
from the patriotic motives which should
compel a large and favorable vote on the
measure, ne saia tne investment is a
good one from the standpoint of dollars
and cents. The state now pays J5000 per
year for armories and thus, he said, it
would be only a very few years until the
structures would pay for themselves.
A formal resolution was then drawn up,
presented and unanimously adopted. The
resolution is as follows:
Whereaa, Th. last session of the legisla
ture, by an almost unanimous vote, paesed
a bill appropriating $25,000 annually for four
years for the construction of armories for
the Oregon National Guard, and
Whereas. The referendum hasp been Invoiced
to defeat said appropriation, which action we
believe to haye been inspired by people who
do not realize the great need of these build
ing or are animated by unpatriotic motives,
detrimental to the best interests of the State
of Oregon, and
Whereas. The defeat of the pending appro
priation bill by the voters of the state would
Injure the efficiency of the National Ouard
and would be a direct reflection on the Second
Oregon Volunteer infantry, who went to the
Philippine Inlands from this state during the
Spanish-American War. and did noble service
for the state and Nation, therefore, be It
Resolved, by Scout Young Camp.' No. 2.

that we express our hearty approval of the
appropriation of $25,000 yearly for four years,
and we pledge our Individual efforts to en

citizens of Oregon to not only vote for the
pending bill at the coming June election, but
to use alt honorable and legitimate means to
induce all those who have the welfare of the
citizen soldiers and the State of Oregon at
