THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1908. 3 ARM y D SC PUN Colonel Stewart, an officer and member of an honored Maryland family. June BUTTERICK Patterns Now on Sale, 15c All the Latest $1.18 Fiction Paper Novels, 10c UNDER ASSAULT Warren Resents Rayner's Championship of Colonel Stewart. THREAT TO ROOSEVELT Maryland Senator Admits Telling President lie Would Move Keso- , lutlon V'nless Inquiry Ordered. , Motion Sent to Committee. WASHINGTON, May 13. Rayner to day called up in the Senate his joint res olutlon directing the President to appoint a court of inquiry in the case of Colonel W. E. Stewart and said that, if he could be assured of a report during the pres ent week, he would not object to sending It to the committee on military affairs. He said he was willing to change the resolution, making it merely an expres sion of the- opinion of the Senate and having it request -instead of directing the President to appoint a committee on inquiry. Warren, chairman of the com mittee, said: "The resolution is not only a reproof to the President, but It is an attack on the discipline of the army and, in a way, of the navy also." He objected to establishing a prece dent by which Army orders to officers may be held up by appealing to a Sen ator. This statement was accompanied by a motion by Warren to refer the resolu tion to the military committee, a motion which followed a suggestion by Aldrich that unanimous consent be given to con sider the resolution at this time. The discussion was on the motion to refer it. Right of Ofricer to Trial. "The right of a man to a trial before punishment and the attitude of the Presi dent that he holds a constitutional office as Commander-in-Chief of' the Army, in which he is not responsible to law." de clared Bacon, "are questions of impor tance in this case. So far as the officer is concerned," he added, "I am not fa vorably impressed with him. He has not been a desirable officer." Rayner asked Warren whether, if the resolution should be referred to the com mittee on military affairs, he would be permitted to appear before the committee and submit some further authorities on the, subject. Rayner said he had modi fied his resolution to express the opinion of the Senate that Colonel Stewart was entitled to a court of inquiry and to "re quesf the President to grant the court of inquiry. Did Xot Threaten Roosevelt. Something of a sensation was created by Warren asking Rayner "whether he had approached the executive with a threat that, if this man was not removed from Fort Grant, this resolution would be presented In the Senate." "I utterly deny that proposition." re plied Rayner. "and I hope the executive has not made such a statement." Ho added that he had not seen the President for two years until two weeks ago, when he was requested to go to the White House and that, when he re sponded to the invitation, the President showed him voluminous typewritten mat ter about Colonel Stewart. He had not "threatened" the President, only stating that unless the court of Inquiry was or dered he would offer a resolution in the Senate. "As if anybody could threaten the Pres ident," exclaimed Rayner, amid laugh ter. Warren said this question was suggested by newspaper reports only. Rayner stating that Colonel Stew art, had been sent to a fort up in the clouds. 2000 or 3000 feet above the sea. Warren interrupted . with the remark that many Senators lived in altitudes higher than Fort Grant. No Hight to Punish. Five times, said Rayner, the Presi dent repeated In his letters that his treatment of Colonel Stewart was a punishment, which, he added, "under the laws of this country he hus no right to inflict, yet he is proceeding by punishment to drive him into retire ment." Taliaferro of Florida had a letter read showing that Colonel Stewart had been ordered away from Fort St. Fran cis, St. Augustine, merely because of a protest by the State of Florida, which has control of Fort St. Francis. He had received a letter from the Presi dent in which the latter said the pun ishment Inflicted upon Colonel Stew art was incident to the discipline of the Army and concluded by saying that, as commander-in-chief, he neither could nor would surrender the right to exercise judgment. He expressed the opinion that a court-martial might be necessary to provide punishment for Colonel Stewart. The resolution was then referred to the committee on military affairs. War ren saying: Rayner would be welcome to appear before the committee. TOOK ONLY COURSE OPES Ttoosevelt Explains Action Toward Stewart No Race Distinction. WASHINGTON, May 13. Light on the precise attitude taken by President Roosevelt in the case of Colonel William F. Stewart, of the Coast Artillery, has been given to certain of the President's friends in Congress, and the prediction is made that the recent speech of Senator Rayner, of Maryland, may be replied to with vigor. It is explained that in de tailing Colonel Stewart to Fort Grant Ariz., without command, the President has taken the one course open to him in desirably avoiding any procedure which might result in the punishment of colonel Stewart by depriving him of his pay upon retirement. In giving effect of his determination to eliminate Colonel Stewart from com manding troops, for the good of the Army, it is explained that the method adopted by the President is regarded as mom direct ana at tha same time le gally Justifiable. Should he. as demanded by Mr. Kayner, order a board of inaulrv the finding of such a board would go to the President for review. He might ap prove or disapprove the finding and might make any order with reference thereto which seemed In his Judgment lo De warranted. In his present action the President has before him, according to Information ob tainable, reports from sources which he considers equally competent and reliable military sources as would result from a board of inquiry. On these he has acted and the Justification for his action is declared to be for the good of the Army. It is also pointed out that the Presi dent has made not the slightest distinc tion between the subject of his action when that subject was the negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry involved in the Brownsville affair and when It was. OVER 64 CENTS A BUSHEL R. C. McCloskey Gives Figures on Cost of Raising Wheat. SPOKANE, Wash., May 13. (Special.) By the testimony of ex-3enator R. C. Mc Closkey, of Garfield, the State Railway Commission probably will bo largely in fluenced in its decision in the wheat rate hearing, brought by farmers in the vicin ity of Rltzville. The hearing, which was begun Monday in Ritzvllle, was continued in Spokane today and will toe finally con cluded in Olympia. The Commission seeks to establish the profit in raising wheat after the railroad haul and other expenses are figured. McCloskey was sought as a witness both by the plaintiffs and by the rail roads, and his testimony is, therefore, considered as favorable to the defend ants as if he had been supoenaed by them. His testimony was all carefully given from compiled statistics taken from his own experience. He is one of the largest and most representative farmers In Whitman County, having formerly been president of the State Wheatgrowers" As sociation. According to Mr. McCloskey's figures, It costs $14.19 an acre to produce wheat on Summer fallow land with a yield of 35 bushels an acre. In this expense he does not include interest on his land, 'which he values at $55 an acre. Adding the item of interest at 7 per cent, it brings Mr. McCloskey's figures up to over 64 cents a bushel as the cost of producing wheat. RAIXS HELP DRY FARMERS Insure Crop Where Xone Was in Prospect Stock Helped Also. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. May 13. (Special.) 'Inquiries made from here to day by telephone and telegraph through the dry farming belt from this city to the Columbia River regarding the re cent rainfall resulted in the receipt of encouraging reports. From most of the points in the belt come statements to the effect that while the crops of grain will be greatly below the average of last year an unusually favorable season for the dry farmer, there is a prospect of at least a harvest. The unusually dry Winter was followed by an almost rain less Spring and only during the past few days has there been any precipitation worth mentioning. Jn some sections the farmers are looking forward to a loss on the year's operations, but the amount of the loss has been greatly reduced. The late rains have been very grateful to the stockmen of the valley also. Owing to the dry Winter and Spring the hills were almost bare of feed and a movement was started a few days ago to endeavor to have the Forestry De partment open the reserves for the live stock two months earlier than usual. Cattle and sheepmen complained that Unless this should be done they would have very heavy losses. But now reports from the ranges are that a new crop of feed is sprouting and the' stock will have a better chance than was anticipated. The late rains and cold weather have not been favorable for the orchardlsts, many of whom complain that the early peach crop has been lost owing to the fact that the sap could not run In the trees freely. On the other hand. Horti cultural Inspector J. M. Brown, who has Just completed a tour of the. orchard sections, declares that the fruit crop this year, taken all around, promises to be the heaviest on record. He also reports that the orchards are free from pests, due to energetic sprinkling. "REAVER" MAKES APPEARANCE Annual of University of Oregon Pub ' lished, by Junior Class. . UNIVERSITY O FOREGON.

JjA POTITE OFFICIALS DEYY STORY ABOUT IiAMPHERE. Attorney for Accused Farmhand Also Says Client Has Xot Admitted Guilt. .. LA PORTE, Ind., May 13. Denials by La Porte officials that Rev. Dr. T. A. Schell had revealed to them the sub stance of hie conversations with Lam phere and the discovery of evidence that Mrs. Bella Gunness was aided by an accomplice in luring: her victims to the farm were the chief develop ments In the case today. The denials came from Dr. C. S. Mack, Coroner; C. E. Smutzer and R. S. Smith, Prosecut ing; Attorney. In addition, H. W. Wor den, attorney for the prisoner. Issued a formal statement that he had given his client strict Instructions not to discuss the charges against him, and conclud ing: "The fact is that Lampliere has never made a confession to anyone, and never will. He has nothing to confess." Coroner Mack has received and made public the results of his Investigations on all the known bodies except that supposed to have been Ole Budsberg, of Iola, Wis. The four burned bodies found in the ruins of the house are dead issues, so far as further investi gation by the Coroner is concerned. None of the other bodies has been Identified to any degree, and it Is scarcely likely that they will be, being decomposed fragmentary masses of flesh and bone. What developments do come probably will be in the direc tion of establishing Identity of mora of the mysterious men who were seen to enter the farmhouse but never to leave it. Yesterday three such per sons were connected up with the Gun ness woman, the evidence regarding John Moe, of Elbow Lake, Minn., and Henry Gerholt, of Scandinavia, Wis., being almost conclusive. The fate of George Brady, of Tuscola, III., is less certain. Moe was traced to the farm by means of the banking transactions which preceded his visit. Coroner Mack today received from Osage, Kan., inquiries concerning Emil Tell, who left that city about a month ago to come to La Porte. One of the watches found in the ruins of the Gunness home was shown today to be a watch of Ole Budsberg, one of the supposed victims of Mrs. Gunness, from Iola, Wis. OFTEN' HAD ItOLTj OF BILLS Schell Tells of Lamphere's Wealth and Prodigality. BALTIMORE, May 13. Rev. Dr. E. A. Schell, of La Porte, Ind., speaking again today about the "Gunness farm trag edy," denied that he had said that Ray Lamphere helped to kill the Gunness chil dren, but had no part in the slaying of any men except Helgelein. He said: "Mrs. Gunness, as I said yesterday, was an attractive woman in her way. She dressed richly, and even, you might say. in good taste, but her manner of talking and her speech itself her vagaries of grammar betrayed a low origin. She could best be described as 'Mrs. New Rich.' "Lamphere is a man who drinks hard, and has borne an unpleasant reputation. He was the son of a drunkard, and a man to be pitied because of his ancestry and training, or lack of it. On two or three occasions recently he has come into town with a roll of bills, which he has generally managed to get rid of in a day or a night. Some time ago I constituted myself a sort of civic league and went after certain saloonkeepers in the town who were violating the law, and I found Established 185 0- FI FT Y-EIGHT YEARS IN B USIN ESS-Etablihed 1850 ' Good Merchandise Only Quality Considered Oar Prices Are Always the Lowest $2.25 Lace S2.75 Lace Nottingham Lace Curtains in neat plain effects ; largw1 vari ety of patterns, both in plain and figured centers, in madras weave and Scotch lace effects ; 3 yards long, 45 to 50 in. wide. $4.00-$4.50 LACE CURTAINS AT $3.15 $5.00-$5.50 LACE CURTAINS AT $3.89 $6.00-$6.50 LACE CURTAINS AT $4.79 $7.50-$8.00 LACE CURTAINS AT $5.89 Large variety of patterns in all this season's best effects in Renaissance, Cluny, Marie Antoinette, La Savoie, Irish Point, Battenberg and new novelty effects; all made of good quality of imported bobbinet; white or Arabian color, 2y2 and 3 yards long.

'"The house in which Mrs. Gunness lived had borne a bad name for years, a house of crime, and 20 years ago a place of resort foil the;- gilded youth of Chicago, which was only 69 miles away, and for some men of wealth and prom inence who were not exactly youths. When the woman who ran it sold It, an other took it up and it became a disre putable house of cheaper grade. "Three years ago, when Mrs. Gunness came from Boston and bought the house, people thought its character would change, because at that time she was looked upon as entirely respectable. The place was a rather imposing one for the neighborhood, the house being worth $7000 or $8000 and the farm containing 75 acres." SHEA WILL NOT HEAD BOLT Alaska Republican Convention to Xante- Corson Delegate. SEATTLE, Wash., May 13. A cable to the Post-Intelligencer from Ketchikan, May 13, says: The Alaska Republican convention met at 9 o'clock this morning and took ah adjournment of one hour in order to give the committee on credentials time to re port.

Mayor Shea declined and stated he would re main in convention and not permit his name to be used in a bolt. John W. Corson will be nominated for delegate to Congress on the first ballot, with practically no opposition. CHERRY CITY IX FESTIVAL Salem Will Be Represented In Rose Festival Parade. SALEM. Or., May 13. (Special.) Salem will be represented at the Rose Festival in Portland during the first week of June. This was definitely decided at- the meet ing this evening of the Board of Trade.

(Special.) A telegram was received from St. Helens this afternoon stating Judge McBride had granted the motion to Quash the writ of mandamus heretofore Issued by him, directing the County Court to call a local option election in Astoria precincts 2 and 3. Judge McBride held that signers of a petition have a right to withdraw their names and sustained the action of the County Court in permitting the with drawal of signers and then denying the petitions on account of their insufficiency. This decision means that the only local option contests In Astoria will be in three precincts which are now "dry." China and India contain more taan half of the world's population.
