BETTING MONEY
GOING
BEGGING
Thousands of Dollars on Cham
berlain and Manning
Not Taken.'
WORD HAS FEW BACKERS
Four Business Men Place $25,000
at a to 1 on Sheriff Stevens,
but Mule or It Is Cov
ered During Day.
Thousands of dollars on Sheriff Stev
ens. Governor Chamberlain and District
Attorney Manning went beggig yester
day. Ac several of the betting head
quarters 2 to 1 were the. odds that the
6tevens supporters offered on their man,
but even this tempting bait did not
make the Word men loosen up. During
the day there was very little wagered
on today's battle at the polls, but at all
times the supply of Chamberlain and
Manning money exceeded the demand.
Perhaps it is because the banks have
been cloned for two days that the bet
ting so far has been very light. Unless
there should be an awakening this morn
ing, not over $6000 or JS000 will be bet
on the outcome. Had there been takers
for all of the Chamberlain money in
sight, the figures would have reached
:X,000, for there were several business
men who expressed themselves as will
ing to bet from J5000 to 110,000 that the
final count would show the Governor in
front. The largest bet was the one ot
$1009 made at the Perkins Hotel early
last week. Since then several J500 bets
have been made.
At George Caldwell's t'-.ere was posted
on the blackboard J2000 of Stevens money
that did not get Into action because there
wasn't a Word man around with the
necessary $1000. There was also $2o0 on
Chamberlain and t' on Manning that
did not get on. At Schiller's the largest
deposit was made. Four prominent busi
ness men. whose names were kept secret,
left fJo.QOO there to bet at 2 to 1 on
Stevens. The instructions on this bet
were "Bet it all or anv part of it on
Stevens and give the Word people 2 to 1
for their money." At the same place
$1000 on Chamberlain and $1000 on Man
ning were posted, with Instructions from
the men who left the money there to
send for more up to $10,000 if this was
taken.
There were bets of $3 and $10 made
without end. There was nearly $1000 bet
that Stevens would defeat Word by 2000
or more. On the other candidates the
wagers were scattering and very small.
There were many people who thought
well of Judge O'Day's chances, but tne
ahsenoe of Morrow money made it im
possible to get this money plaoed. There
is still time for the plungers to get into
action, for usually the betting is kept up
until late in the afternoon and frequently
right up to the closing time of the polls.

rousing cheers.
Early yesterday morning Harbormaster
J. Speier. John Driscol and Captain El
more Groves, of the Port of Portland,
and Harry J. Strowbridge went down the
river in a launch as far as St. John,
where they met the two vessels and ac
companied them to their moorings. The
Charleston is in charge of Commander
F. E. Beatty, who will relinquish the po
sition July 1. being in line for promotion.
Commander E. H. Glennon is in charge
of the Yorktown.
Salute .by Excursion Craft.
The river steamers Beaver, Charles R.
Spencer and the Bailey Gatzert, each
heavily loaded with excursionists, sound
ed a cordial welcome to the war vessels
that was almost drowned by the cheers
Df the excursionists as the craft steamed
ay in midstream. The war vessels were
ilso saluted by the French bark Edmond
Rostand and the Italian bark Emanuele
Accame, which dipped their flags as the
Charleston and Yorktown passed.
Throughout the day, Innumerable ex
cursion launches and other craft were
Jrafted into service to transport the hun
flrcds of visitors to the cruiser and the
gunboat. Others lined up on the east
bank of the river and viewed the vessels.
During the week visitors will be received
on both the cruiser and the gunboat be
tween the hours of 1 and 4:30 o'clock
every afternoon. The visiting fleet can be
reached by launches that will be operated
throughout the week from almost any of
the numerous docks, while a splendid
view of both vessels can be had from the
Steel Bridge.
AVI 1 1 'Welcoiiie Fleet Today.
Harbormaster Speier gave his personal
attention to the wants of the command
ers of the two vessels and saw that their
every requirement was supplied. The
wharf at the foot of Stark street has
been reserved especially for the conveni
ence of the launches from the two war
vessels.
The reception committee that was
named by the Rose Festival management
formally to welcome the officers and en
listed men of the fleet to the city will
do so today.
Iate yesterday the committee communi

Portland Commercial Club tonight.
Japs Visit Vessels.
Among the visitors to the Charleston
during the afternoon were two innocent
looking Japanese, but they were not seen
to make any diagram of the guns or the
general arrangement of the cruiser, which
probably accounts for the fact that no
particular attention was paid to them.
During the afternoon, a lad of 8 years.
whoso attendance at Sunday school a fewj

Sunday-school pamphlet which peeped out
of his pocket, made a misstep on the
float alongside the Charleston and fell
into the river. Coming to the surface, he
grabbed the line with which the float was
held, and drew himself to more secure
footing. Without saying a word, the
thoroughly drenched lad shook the water
from his clothes as best he could, and,
thrusting his hands in his pockets, made
tor the gangway and boarded tho vessel.
where he was soon lost to sight among
the crowd of Sunday sightseers.
Sailboat Is Capsized.
At 4 o'clock the yacht Athalon capsized
near the west bank of the river, opposite
the Charleston, throwing Its crew, Rich
ard McKay, Robert C. Wilson and. two
young men friends into the river. The
mishap was witnessed by some of the
subordinate officers of the cruiser, who
immediately ordered a lifeboat lowered,
and a full crew of jackies a few seconds
later were on their way to assist the
yachtsmen, who had scrambled from the
water onto the upturned craft, where
they were rescued by a launch which
preceded the lifeboat.
"The Jolly Canemen," an organization
consisting of the enlisted men on the
Charleston, will give its annual ball at
the Armory tomorrow night. Invitations
will be issued today for the affair, which
will be.a military ball, all of the men ap
pearing in uniform. The band of the
Charlestown will furnish music for the
dancers.
The Pacific Telephone Company yes
terday installed one of its instruments
aboard the cruiser Charleston for the
convenience of the officers and men. The
telephone is connected with the local ex
change. Its number is fc-ast 9j.

Germany May Cause Trouble.
PARIS. May 31. The government this
week will define before the French Par
liament its position relative to the evac
uation of the Chaouia district in Moroc
co by publishing its instruction to Gen
eral d'Amadee. the commander of the
French forces in Morocco, which already
have been communicated to the powers.
These provide for the gradual with
drawal of the French troops and their re
placement by a native Moorish contingent
as rapidly as they can be organized.
So far as the situation regarding;
the two Sultans is concerned, France
intends to await developments. The
chances of Abd el Aziz, the Sultan of
record, to retain his office, eeem almost
hopeless, but it is thought that there
might be a shift in fortune. If, how
ever, Mulal Hafid, the so-called Sultan
of the South, enters Fez and secures
the submission of Tangier, thus becom
ing de facto Sultan, France will notify
the signatory powers of the Algeciras
act.
A delicate diplomatic situation then
would be created, unlecs the- powers
act in concert.
Mulai Hafid has already offered to
accept the stipulation of the Algeciras
act, but anxiety exists here that Ger
many may provoke trouble.

Daughter Are Objected To.
OAKFIELD. Wis.. May 31. While at
tending services at the Methodist Episco
pal Church this morning Grant Pool,
aged 35 years, shot and killed Mrs. B. H.
Orvis, a leading resident of the village.
Rev. Sabin Halsey had completed the
services and had gone to the vestibule
door to shake hands with the members of
the congregation as they left the church.
Pool occupied a pew in the church di
rectly in front of Mrs. Orvis and fol
lowed her to the door. Mrs. Orvis was
about to shake hands with Mr. Halsey
when Pool pulled a revolver, firing- three
shots in rapid succession, one bullet en
tering the heart, causing instant death.
Mrs. Orvis fell into the arms of her hus
band. Mr. Halsey asked the congregation
to remain and offer prayer for the dy
ing woman. The congregation was
panic-stricken, however, and fled from
the church in haste. The pastor re
mained and prayed over the body.
It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Orvis ob
jected to Pool's attentions to their
daughter, and that this was the cause
of the shooting.

Theodore A. Bell, of California,
Visits Portland.
OVERTHREW GAVIN M'NAB
Ex-Congressman Declares That Con
trol or Politics by Railroads of
Southern States Will End
Within Two Years.
Ex-Congressman- Theodore A. Bell, who
two weeks ago wrested the control of
tho California Democratic convention
from Gavin McNab, for ten years Demo
cratic boss of that state, arrived in Port
land yesterday morning from Spokane
and left last night for San Francisco.
Although still in his 30s "Mr. Bell has
been acclaimed the new Moses of his
party and in addition to succeeding to
the control of the state organization he
will head a solid Bryan delegation from
California to the National Democratic
convention.
For a number of years Mr. Bell worked
in conjunction with McNab. whose polit
ical methods until recently were com
paratively clean, and two years ago they
together defeated the Hearst forces in
the Democratic party of California. When
the Democrats assembled in state con
vention two weeks ago, McNab sought to
dictate a programme that should be fol
lowed out in the interest of machine poli
tics, but Bell rebelled, refusing absolutely
to yield to McNab's" dictation and his
questionable methods. Bell then set out
to organize the state convention in oppo
sition to McNab, which he succeeded in
doing, forcing the ex-leader to withdraw
all opposition and to announce his re
tirement as party boss. At the time Mc
Nab at San Francisco was announcing
his retirement Bell in the state conven
tion at Fresno was reading out of the
party two delegates that were alleged to
have been sent to the state convention
by the Southern Pacific Company for the
purpose of wresting the control of the
convention from, the rank and file of the
Democracy.
"The people of California have fol
lowed the Oregon Senatorial contest with
a great deal of Interest," said Mr. Bell,
yesterday. "Californians are manifest
ing a deep Interest in the political sys
tem in use in your state. The Democrats
are favorable to the Initiative and refer
endum and the direct primary; in fact,
we have declared for those measures in
our platform.
"The great tendency in California poli
tics at this time is away from party or
ganization. The supreme issue before the
people is the overthrow of the railroad
domination of the political system of the
state. They realize the futility of inaug
urating any reforms while the railroad
controls the various departments of the
state government. The Democratic party
nas just held a convention to eliminate
all railroad influences. The party is now
stronger and cleaner than ever before.
The conditions in the political world in
the past have been such as to drive good
men out of politics.
"I predict that within two years the
railroads will be deprived of their pres
ent political supremacy. The Democrats
will then take the lead, assisted by the
better element in the Republican party.
The people of California are going to
vote for men of character who are abso
lutely free from railroad influence.
"The Lincoln-Roosevelt League, which
is the reform Republican party, is gain
ing steadily. At the recent convention at
Sacramento they mustered 275 votes
against the regular 350 votes of the rail
road element. The indications are that
the league will get control of the August
primaries. As I said before, all reforms
will begin with the overthrow of the rail
roads' political power, and the people of
California are working steadily to that
end."

Aldrich is a blufer. He can't bluff this

One Man Who Bluffed Joe.
"You say Aldrich is a bluffer." re
marked Mr. Reynolds, "and Aldrich says
you are a bluffer. I think you are both
right. But the country isn't bluffing. The
country means business. If you bicker
and quarrel and fool -around and go
home without doing something and a
currency stringency comes next Fall,
well, God help the Republican party."
Uncle Joe then began to calm down
and talk business. Before Mr. Reynolds
and the other bankers left Washington
they had secured a practical agreement

Like Bloodthirsty Wild Beasts.
She declared that at about 1 o'clock
in the morning she had been awakened
by the entrance of three men and a
woman, who sprang upon "her like wild
beasts' and tied her to the bed. Evi
dently they had mistaken her for her
16-year-old daughter, who was absent in
the country, as one of the men said:
"Your father had an exhibition sale
of pictures; tell us where the money is."
She pointed to a drawer in the bureau,

her?"

no clue to the murderers. Late tonight
It was reported that an Italian has been
arrested as one of the assassins.' The
police believe that the murderers entered
the house by the means of false keys.
Mme. Steinheil's injuries are slight,
but she is suffering from very severe
nervous shock. She. states that the as

R. L.' STEVENS,
WARNING TO VOTERS
Do not be misled by any cooked-up and juggled figures purporting to show that Mr. "Word's administration of the Tax Depart
ment was any more economical to the taxpayers than my own administration. I can select certain periods of several months each,
which would make a much more favorable showing than the above. Those figures, however, cover the only years in which either
Mr. Word or myself had an opportunity to make a full twelve-months' showing with a tax roll. Mr. "Word and his Democratic
friends display a very poor opinion of the intelligence of the voters when they attempt to convey the impression that a $2,S00,0OO
roll should be handled at the same cost as the $2,076,000 roll handled by Mr, Word. If my record was so bad and showed such
wastefulness, why did not Mr. Word set forth the facts in detail, showing the size of the roll and of the delinquent tax list?
Was it to the advantage of the taxpayers fo have $6000 more delinquent on a roll $640,000 smaller than mine? Or was it only
an advantage to the ex-Sheriff, who is speculating in tax titles, In yesterday's paper my Democratic friends stated that I had
done nothing to enforce the liquor or gambling laws. The copy of an unsolicited letter of the Municipal Association thanking
me for enforcing those laws appeared in the same paper and, of course, proves that someone was lying. I do not think it was
the Municipal Association. The same kind of misrepresentation and villification has been heaped on me since the beginning of
the campaign; but if re-elected, I will make no change in my policy, but will continue to enforce all laws all the time, with strict
impartiality. The matter of feeding the prisoners is, as I have explained before, not an issue in the Sheriff's campaign. The
question is before the voters in the shape of a law, which will definitely settle the matter one way or the other. If that bill
passes, neither Mr. Word nor myself can change its provisions, and in any event, the present practice of working the prisoners
on the county roads will be continued. In conclusion, I will respectfully ask the voters to regard the record as llie best evir
dence and to pay no attention to eleventh-hour campaign lies emanating from my political enemies. It. L. STEVENS.

HERMOSIL.LO. Mex., May 31. After
a war which has continued intermittently
for more than 120 years, the Yaqul Na
tion is about to sever tribal relations,
and its 20.000 members are to settle down
Into peaceable and law-abiding citizens.
On May 7 last, I.ouis Rule, head of
the Yaqul Nation, asked for a conference,
by which peace could be arranged. With
06 of his followers, he was met in the
Bacatete Mountains by Colonel Jose Gon
zales Salas, and other officers of the Mex
ican Army. The conference lasted three
hours and is believed to have paved the
way to a lasting peace. At first Chief
Rule assumed the aggressive in his de
mands, but was evidently prepared, to
waive them as occasion demanded. In
the end terms acceptable to both parties
were agreed upon.
Conditions of Submission.
These provide unconditional submission
of the YaqUis to the authority of the gov
ernment, that the lives and property of
the. Indians be respected and that they
be protected in all the rights and privi
leges accorded to Mexican citizens under
existing laws, provided, however, for the
time being they must not go North of
Ores; that all arms and munitions of
war In the hands of the Indians be de
livered to the military authorities; that
pmissarles be sent to different Yao.ui
bands instructing them to cease hostili

submitting Indians until such time as
work can be provided for them.

VOTE 3 1 6 X YES
FOR SHERIFF
The Record Is the Best Evidence"
Each two-year term beginning July 1st gives the Sheriff one entire calendar year in office. Mr. Word's full
year was 1905. Mr. Stevens' full year was 1907. During those years, neither official had any "leavings"
from his predecessor to look after. Here is the result:
: : : : 3 : '
1907 Stevens .... 18 $2,804,481.34 $13,159.01 .00435 $34,980.90 .0123
1905 Word...... 13 $2,161,657.81 $11.419.37 .00528 $40 673.86 .0185
These figures, "taken from the official records, show the cost per dollar of tax collecting under Mr. "Word's
administration to have been 21.4 per cent higher than uder Mr. Stevens' administration, although employes'
salaries have been higher since the last Legislature advanced them, and under the new law two deputies for
merly used in the tax department are now kept busy in the Assessor's office making divisions. During the 24
months in which Mr. "Word was in office, he turned over to the County Treasurer $4,132,108.13. In the first
twenty-two months of Mr. Stevens' term, he turned over to the Treasurer 5,385,474.48
fied with the terms proposed, said he be
lieved his people would accept them if
enough time was given to unite all
families and parties so as to present
themselves in a body. He-fixed June lo
as the date upon which the united people
present themselves for ratification of the
terms of settlement.
That the Indians are acting in good
faith is evidenced by the surrender of
bands to the different authorities. Sev
eral already have given themselves up.
The Government, however, is taking no
chances. Troops are being massed in the
district with all possible haste.
The cost of the prolonged warfare to
both Indians and the Government, as well
as to the residents of the district in which
it has been waged, has been tremendous.
Great wrongs have been committed on
both sides, but so far as can be learned,
the present administrative officers are
not at fault. The loss of life can never
be computed, but it is known to be enor-
! mously large and the loss In property will,
I it is believed, easily reach J.vO.onO.000.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE CIRCUIT JUDGE
DEPARTMENT NO. 2
NO. 32
It is now assured that Mr. Morrow will be elected Circuit Judge of
Department No.. 2. His professional fitness and his dignity and high
character all combine to that end. Party allegiance lias always pre
vailed in Oregon. The Democratic talk of non-partisanship has been
tried before, without success. Even Judge Ilailcy failed of re-election
on that. issue. Judge O'Day was defeated for Judge ot the Supremo
Court of Nebraska and came to Oregon, where he tried to be elected
a Circuit Judge as a non-partisan, but failed again. In 1808 he was
defeated by 4.100 votes for the same office. Then in 10012 he lost again
for Judge of the Supreme Court. Each time the Democrats talked
non-partisanship, but the Republicans repudiated it every time, and
they will not now desert a dignified and worthy candidate of their
own party. '

NEW YORK, May 31. The speculative,
outlook became somewhat unsettled last
week by reason of the confused factor
in the sharp reaction which set in In tha
