T. Doollng this morning, the actual trial
tf Abraham Ruef on one of more than
1 Indictments charging him with brib
ery and corruption of the Board of Su
pervisors of the Schmltz administration,
began this afternoon.
John K. Behan. a deputy clerk for the
former Board of Supervisors, was the
first witness. 1 lis examination, which
consumed tbe entire afternoon session
of the court, was Interrupted for half
an hour by the appearance of a deputy
sheriff,' stating that Ruef was wanted
across the hall In Judge Iawlor's court
as a witness for, the prosecution In the

of the ordinance In question. This was
Introduced In evidence by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. Meney. Henry
Ach. senior counsel for Ruef. kept up a
running fire of objections to the ques
tions put to the witness by Heney.
Almost without exception - the objec
tions of the defence were overruled by
Judge Doollng. Behan was still upon
the stand when court adjourned until
morning. At the request of the defense,
all witnesses except the one on the

Uuef took a lively Interest In the pro
ceedings and busied himself with taking
notes.

deputy sheriffs and will be kept at the
big St. Francis Hotel.
In his argument In support of the
motion for a change of venue, Frank
J. Murphy. for the defense, de
clared that sentiment against Ruef
was so strong In this city, as a result
of his denunciation by press and pul
pit, that It was impossible for him to
uet a fair trial on the many charges of
bribing Supervisors.
Heney In reply denied that there ex
isted any appreciable sentiment or feel
ing against Uuef In San Francisco; de
clared that alt feeling against him had
subsided many months ago; that the
public was taking; but little Interest In
the bribery-graft cases at present; as
serted that Ruef had a wide acquaint
ance and many friends In the city who
would like to see him go free, and
stated that Instead of there being a
strong sentiment against Ruef, as be
hail declared In his affidavit, Ruef had
stated to him (Heney) that public
opinion in the city would approve of his
bring given full Immunity, and that 90
per cent of the people would sign a
petition for bis pardon.

Plot to Assassinate Him.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 29. Warned
that a number of Coreans In San Fran
clsio were preparing to assassinate the
Rev. Bishop Merriman Colbert Harris
upon his arrival here this morning on
MMUNITY
the Pacific Mall liner Cores, from the
Orient. Surveyor of the Port Woodward,
accompanied by a number of other Fed
eral attaches and members of the local
police force, met the steamer upon its
appearance In port, and placing the min
i?ter aboard the revenue cutter Golden
Gate, caused bis removal to Oakland
The action of the Government officials
came In response to a request from
Washington.

White Stevens, counsellor for the Corean
government, who was shot down at the
ferry depot while on his way to Wash
ington, and one who bad studied condi
tions In Corea under the Japanese rule
Bishop Harris was warned by the Ameri
can Ambassador to Japan and the Jap
anese officials before leaving the Orient

the Corean residents of this city.
Bishop Harris, who is on his way to
attend the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to be held
In Baltimore next month, when seen on
the Corea, said: "I am friendly to both
the Core an s and Japanese, and am at
a loss to understand why anyone should
plan to harm me. I have never given
utterance to any statements likely to
arouse feeling against me among the
Coreans."

Whether He Said It.

cisco, quoting a purported Interview
with Bishop Harris, In which he stated
that in the (occupation of Corea by the
Japanese he saw the hand of Providence
and that the Japanese were working for

San Francisco to see Bishop Harris and
ask him regarding the authenticity of the
interview and ask whether he was cor

KIXO MAXUEL IlEGOMMEXDS
REFORMS FXR PORTUGAL.
Address Opening Cortes a Vigorous
and Practical Document Peo
ple Cheer New Ruler.
LISBON. April 2fc The Portuguese
Cortes reassembled today, the eighty-
second anniversary of the establishment
of constitutional government in Portu
gal. The royal mourning for the late
King Carlos and his son ms suspended
for the occasion. King Manuel was re
spectfully greeted by the people.
King Manuel proceeded to ttie Cortes,
accompanied by many dignitaries of the
state and escorted by a strong guard of
troops. The floor of the chamber was
filled with Deputies and the galleries
were crowded with a brilliant audience.
His Majesty slowly mounted the tribune
that had been erected for bis use. His
address, which he read in strong and
full tones, was a most pathetic and at
the same time a practical and vigorous
discourse, calculated to win the sympa
thy of the people. H touched upon the
tragedy of February 1. when his father
and his brother were shot down as "the
cruel disappearance of my father and
brother."
He begged the country to concentrate
all its energies in a supreme effort to at
tain the realization of the destinies of
Portugal.
"I hope to work with you." the King
said, "In order to bring about the happi
ness of our country to which I hence
forth dedicate my life and activities."
Continuing. King Manuel recommended
a revision of the Constitution and estab
lishment of individual rights, a new elec
toral law fixing the rights of suffrage,
the revision of the decrees promulgated
by ex-Premier Franco and more rigid
and careful methods of finance whereby
the country could be placed, on a more
economical footing.
At the conclusion of the King's speech
the members of the Cortes broke out Into
cries of "Long live the King," which
were taken up and re-echoed by the
people.
BUILDS UP OLIGARCHY
Johnson Wars Against Centraliza
tion of Power In America.
DETROIT. Mich., April 29. Two evils
menace America today, said Governor
John A, Johnson, of Minnesota, in a lec
ture tonight on "The Majesty of the
Law." before the Alumni Association of
the Western High School. They are, he
said, the centralization of power In the
Federal Government and the centraliza
tion of business power in the hands of
a few men.
'Executives, too, are frequently gov
erned by expediency." he said. "Expe
diency Is always fraught with danger.
The political organization which disre
gards expediency and sticks to a prin
ciple is the one which accomplishes re
sults. America has now a system of
centralization. Instead of a government
by the people and for the people it
seems to be becoming a government by
people and for people who have been en
franchised by the people to do a quasi
public business.
"Some things have happened in the
last few years which seem to Indicate
that a few men are trying to control
everything. We have now in this coun
try an oligarchy as great as was the
oligarchy of Rome. It is the oligarchy
of business. The men who are respon
sible are making a mistake. And I
think they will be called to account soon.
We are told that the Declaration of In
dependence has no particular foroe nor
effect and that the Constitution Is a
flexible document, also that we may be
come a great world power.
"I cannot make myself believe tbat
they have ceased to be living, breathing
forces."

ALL PROPORTION
John H. Norris Gives Figures
on Cost and Selling Price
of Print Paper.
MANN DEEPLY IMPRESSED
Chairman of House Committer Says
He Will Probe Discrepancy to
Bottom Arbitrary Meth
ods of Trust Revealed.
WASHINGTON, April 29 More evi
dence tending to show there is a com
bination of paper manufacturers to fix
the price of white paper in the United
States was adduced today before the spe
cial committee of the House, which is
Investigating the subject of duty on wood
pulp and print paper as affecting the price
In the United States.
John H. Norris, chairman of the paper
committee of the Newspaper Publishers'
Association, presented numerous letters
and documents to bear out this conten
tion.
Apparently the committee was particu
larly Impressed with the annual state
ment of the International Paper Company
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1907,
showing an Increased cost of production
of 60 cents a ton as against the raise of
the price of paper of $12 a ton. Chair
man Mann, appreciating the importance
of this testimony, announced that he
would go to the bottom to ascertain the
cause of bo large an increase in the price
of paper.
Questions for Trust.
During the day Mr. Norris formulated
a number of questions which he wished
the committee to propound at once to the
International Paper Company, and oth
ers, and also submitted the names of a
dozen persons identified with the paper
business whom he desired subpenaed.
Resuming his testimony today before
the select committee of the House on
wood pulp and print paper, Mr. Norris
furnished the committee with data show
ing that H. G. Craig & Co. controlled
the output of seven independent mills.
Until these mills were combined Into one
selling agency, Mr. Norris said, there was
no concentration or control or news print
paper mills. Responding to a series of
questions from Chairman Mann, Mr. Nor
ris said that the mills controlled by Craig
& Co. did not undertake to make sales
independently.
"Is It your claim. Mr. Mann asked,
"that all these mills agree upon a price
wh ioh Craig & Co. ca rry out, or a f ter
conference they decide upon the price
which they carry out. so that there is no
variation In price no competition?
'The claim of the publishers," the wit
ness replied, "is that In some way, either
by direction of Craig & Co., or by ar
rangement with them, a common price is
agreed on among the mills.
Several original letters from publishers
were put In evidence, giving Indications
of the existence of a paper trust.
By way of fixing the date when the
paper companies refused to make quota
tions, Mr. Norris produced in evidence a
number of letters from paper manufac
turers In response to requests for prices.
Stafford Grows Curious.
'Was that because they did not have
any paper on hand to meet the demand
of the newspapers?" Mr. Stafford in
quired.
"It shows," replied Mr. Norris. "that
in some way which we have not yet un
covered It was a part of the programme
by which they would not make quota
tions." Most of the letters were dated June or
July, 1907. As a part of the formulation
of the testimony with respect to combina
tions of the various groups of paper com
panies. Mr. Norris at this point put In
evidence a list of officers and by-laws of
the new sulphHe pulp association, which
was published November 23. 1907.
These by-laws provided for the tabula
tion of a monthly confidential report on
tonnage, agreed prices, names of buyers.
terms of contracts, etc The association,
he said, bad been in the lutbit of holding
meetings at the Hotel Astor, New York,
at which prices were fixed.
"The new by-laws," said Mr. Norris,
'were devised, so we change and expect
to prove. Immediately following the com
plaints of the publishers, and in order
that this association might be 'within the
Federal statutes.
Responding to a question by Mr. Mann.
Mr. Norris said he did not know In what
proportion sulphite pulp was made by
news print paper manufacturers for them
selves. He thought, however, that most
of the newspaper print paper manufac
turers did make their own sulphite pulp.
Did Not Affect Cost.
'Our contention Is," saJd be. "that to
the extent that the Sulphite Pulp Asso
ciation fixed the price for the market it
did affect the cost of material entering
into news print paper."
The witness was unable to state the
amount of sulphite pulp manufactured in
Canada.
When, at 11:30 o'clock, the bells an
nounced tbat there was no quorum In the
House, Mr. Mann remarked:
Well, Mr. Norris, you may suspend.
We are again interrupted In the midst of
the bearing by the demand In the House
for senseless rollcall. We are required to
go over to the Capitol, all of us, in order
to make a quorum.
SUICIDE'S FIRM SUSPENDS
Notice Follows Tragic Ieath of
Charles1 Coster, Broker.
NEW YORK. April 29. Following the
suicide last night of Charles Coster, a
prominent broker and society man. the
stock exchange firm of Coster, Knapp &
Co., of which Mr. Coster was a member,
announced Its suspension today on the
floor of the New York Stock ISxchange.
The firm was a prominent one and had
done an extensive business.
Mr. Coster, who was rated as a million
aire, had prepared for his voluntary death
with a coolness and thoroughness which
proved beyond any doubt that the act was
premeditated. He selected a time when
Mrs. Coster was at a reception, and after
preparing himself for bed telephoned to
his family physician that Mrs. Coster had
a tee v ere cold and asked him to come to
the house at once. Soon after the doctor
arrived Coster retired to his room and
sent a bullet through his head. The shot
rang through the house just as Mrs.
Coster entered, returning from the recep
tion and she rushed to her husband's
room. At the door of the room Bhe met
the family physician, who had found her
husband dead, with the smoking revolver
in his hand.
The relative of Coster last night were
at a loss to account for his' act. Today,
however, J. M. Knapp, of the failed firm,
INCREAS
issued a formal statement in which he
declared that Coster had been speculat
ing heavily and that this speculation
brought about the suspension of the firm.
WILL FIGHT APPROPRIATION
Cyras II. 'Walker Explains Why He
Can't Recede From Hfs Position.
ALBANY. Or.. April 27. To the Edi
tor.) Your vigorous editorials not long
since, getting after me, figuratively speak
ing, so set me "on the run'' that I had
to take time to get my breath. Now that
I have recovered my "wind" again. I
renew the race.
Although It may seem irreverent. I fain
would quote the language addressed to
Jonah: "Doest thou well to be angry?"
Jonah rv:4-
In your editorial criticising my state
ment that "After nearly TO years in Ore
gon. I surely know as well as any one
can what are her needs along every line
of earnest endeavor." you say "that
there are certain people here before him
some of whom still linger on the stage,
whose judgment in regard to matters
educational, industrial and political would
not be confidently put forward as the es
sence of true wisdom."
Your reference is evidently to the In
dians, for they are the only people who
were here before I was; now living.
If I remember aright it Was the vote
(as was claimed) of these same people
on the Silet and Grand Ronde reserva
tions who sent one of our Congressmen
to Washington by a small margin some
years ago.
If they were Intelligent enough to vote
for a Republican Congressman as against
a Populist, why are they not competent
to express an opinion as to the needs of
Oregon, or even to pass resolutions la
voring the University of Oregon?
It is amusing to note the various
reasons given for the calling of the
referendum upon House bill No. 37, that
amends section 3o29, Bellinger and Cot
ton's code, which gave the University of
Oregon H7.5U0 annually and increases the
sum to $125,000 annually and continuously
and no reverting of funds to the State
Treasury.
One reason given was that It was "the
outcome of the actions of some dis
gruntled politicians." An Eastern paper
had it brought by "some farmers in the
Willamette Valley who had conscientious
scruples against higher education." and
who are denounced as "mossbacks."
Lastly come the Manufacturers Associa
tion of the Northwest who the other day
stated in the resolutions passed favoring
the University that it was caused by
"Jealousies."
All wrong, as I will briefly show.
In the five minutes' talk I gave at the
Y. M. C. A. parlors In Portland, the
other evening, during the discussion of
the appropriation measure, between Eu
gene Palmer and J. Keaney. I explained
the matter and will now do so again.
The Legislature of Oregon, In 1905, passed
what is known as the "omnibus appro
priation bill," A referendum was in
voked upon the same. It failed in the
June election of 1906. mainly as there is
good reason to believe because, thousands
of votes were cast Just contrary to what
was Intended. A prominent lawyer in
Albany says he would have so voted
had he not taken the second look at the
ballot title, and my skeleton ballot now
before me shows that I voted "yes" when
I meant to vote "no," and I was nardly
then in my dotage, though I may be so
now.
The failure of this referendum was a
disappointment to many people, particu
larly the farmers, but they "nursed their
wrath" until Governor Chamberlain's
veto of the University measure so brought
that Institution Into the limelight that It
gave them another occasion to referend.
I was one of the Prohibitionists that did
not vote for George Chamberlain for
Governor, as Is claimed many did.
I believe in sustaining an official who
stands by the Interests of the common
people, no matter what his politics, so
I wrote a resolution commending the
Governor for his exercise of the veto
power and also one favoring a referen
dum upon the J125.O00 appropriation for
the State University. This was seconded
by Kugene Palmer ' and unanimously
passed by the Linn County council. After
several weeks' delay, and at the Instance
of some Marlon County grangers, a coun
cil committee of three was selected, one
a .Republican, one a Democrat and one a
Prohibitionist a nonpartisan committee,
and not "disgruntled politicians."
With no means at hand save that se

circulated our petitions, securing nearly
2000 names more than was necessary;

Judge Galloway jrave the Unlversltv
alumni more than they asked, for the

present, and voters will be "all In the
dark" when they go into the polling booth
unless they post themselves beforehand.
This is the massive wall we are "un
against" and to this add the lack of
the "sinews of war," while our odoo-
nents have means to flood the state with
their literature and take the stump In
favor of the University.
Under such conditions we mav lose the
