SOME CARPENTERS WANTED TO ENCASE AND PACK CASES, CABINETS AND FIXTURES STOR WILL START NEW PARTY III OREGON Hugh H. Mclsaac Here in In terests of Independence League. SAYS PROSPECTS BRIGHT Declares League Stands for Princi ples jSot Advocated by Either ot Old Parties Make Active Cam palgn in This State. Hugh H. Mclsaac, chairman of tho executive committee of the Independ ence League of California, and Paclfio Coast organizer for the Independence party, is in Portland for the purpose of completing the organization of this new political party in Oregon. Edward P.ainey and J. L. Elgholz, organizers of the Independence party, visited Portland about six weeks ago and took the preliminary steps towards establishing this organization in this state. Before leaving for the State of Washington on a similar errand next week, Jlr. Mclsaac expects to complete arrangements for a general mass meet ing to be held at Portland some time this month for the purpose of select ing eight delegates to attend the Na tional convention of the Independence party in Chicago July 27. This party also will have a Presidential ticket In the field in Oregon at the Novem ber election. It is the plan to select Presidential electors either by petition or nominate them at a mass meeting to which all persons Interested in the principles of the Independence party will be asked to participate. Sentiment Strong in Country. "I find throughout the country a sen timent strongly favoring our organiza tion." said Mr. Mclsaac last night. "There seems to be considerable dis satisfaction among the people gener ally with the two old parties and they have about decided to look to another source for remedial legislation. For several months the officers of the In dependence League in California have been receiving letters from residents of this state, urging us to organize such a party in this state. In fact the In dependence forces already have per fected organizations in 35 states, the majority of which have selected their delegates to the Chicago convention. The members of this party held a state convention in California on May 16 and selected their delegates. It will be arranged so that all of the dele gates from the Pacific Coast states. In cluding Oregon, California, Washing ton. Utah, Nevada and Idaho, will as semble at Ogden and proceed to Chi cago in a party. , Active Campaign in Oregon. "The Independence party will make an active campaign in Oregon this Fall. Considerable preliminary organ ' t7.atlon has bei dona already and our E OPEN 9:30 A. coming into this state at this time is merely a part of the plan of the Na tional campaign of the Independence party. "The Independence party will meet In National convention In Chicago In July for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President. Who the nominees will be cannot be foreshadowed. There Is a strong sentiment in the party for J .a Follette. He may be the nominee, or it may be Thomas L. Higsen, who for 20 years has persistently fought the Standard Oil and other trusts in Massa chusetts, and who made a remarkable run on the Independence party ticket for Governor of that stte. Whoever the nominee may be, he will be a man who stands sincerely for the principles the party advocates. Makes Creditable Showing. "The Independence forces have taken part in three state campaigns, and In each one Its showing has been a reve lation to the politicians of the old par ties. In two elections we beat the Democrats decisively, and In the third, the California campaign, which lasted three weeks, we polled nearly 50.000 votes. In the West our organization already has developed considerable strength in California and Nevada. In the latter state at the election in No vember we expect to e'.ect enough members to give us control o the State Legislature. We are also counting on electing a Congressman from that state. In California we havo every reason to believe that we will be suc cessful to the extent that we will elect several members of the State Legis lature and perhaps two or three of the Congressmen from that state. "We have received much encourage ment from all parts of Oregon and ex pect to be abU to organize our party here with, a creditable membership to begin with. Our principles arc: "Direct nomination to end boss rule and clique-controlled conventions; se vere and effective legislation against all forms of corrupt practices at elec tions; the election of United .States Senators and Judges by the people; we declare for an Income tax. Ourcandi dates are pledged to the Initiative, ref erendum and the recall. These meas ures apparently are popular with the people of Oregon. They will be perpet uated by the Independence party." MAN OF TELECONI Is Visiting Portland. James Austin Larson, originator of Tel econi, is In Portland for a few days, rest ing after one of the greatest campaigns of healing in the West. Mr. Larson's work is interesting because he is Intro ducing a comparatively new system of treatment and that it is successful is evi denced by the wonderful cures he is making. He claims that vibration is the secret of life and he has mastered its applica tion to the treatment of human Ills. Stories of cures brought about through Teleconi have been published through out the Northwest, extending as far north as British Columbia. One of the most remarkable cures ever attributed to Teleconi was that of Joseph Boehrh, of Seattle. Mr. Boehm. up to two months ago, was a helpless cripple, brought about through his work for the Government in Honolulu. He was unable to walk then without the aid of strong assistants and crutches. Now he walks without any assistance whatever. According to the story of himself and his friends, a single treatment by James Austin Larson accomplished this wonder ful result and the formerly helpless crip ple can do the work of a Btrong man. Mr. Larson is registered at the Oregon Hotel and is enjoying the Rose Festival while recuperating from the arduous cam paign, be has Just completed. ENTIRE BANKRUPT STOCK OF THE J. M. ACHESON CO.

"WASHINGTON, June 5 The Internal Revenue Department has planned a series of prosecutions for alleged infractions of the Internal revenue laws all over the United States. Officers of that depart ment made seizures yesterday at two lo cal drugstores on the ground that they were selling cigars in contravention of the internal revenue laws. The tops of boxes to which the majority of the stamps were affixed have been removed, thereby leaving the packages unprotected by proper stamps. The Government contends this is prima facie evidence of the non-payment of the taxes, and cigars not protected by stamps must be declared forfeited to the United States. First Meeting In July. WASHINGTON, June 5. The Senate committee on finance, which was author ized to make an investigation of the tariff during the recess of Congress to be in readiness to take up a review of the tariff next Winter, will hold its first meeting for this purpose about the middle of July. It has not yet been decided when "hearings will be held. Sometime in November probably will be fixed for that purpose. GUN PUT WINES ON MAN ENGLISH AERONAUT SAYS MAX MAY YET FLY ALONE. Alexander Predicts Possibility of RU ' valing Birds Finds Serious Defects in Airships. NEW YORK, June 6. Patrick T. Alex ander, the wealthy Englishman, who in clines strongly to aeronautics, was a pas senger on the Mauretanla, having arrived In this city last Saturday morning on the Campania for "just a few days or rest." Before leaving the city, Mr. Alex ander said: A man In rowing a boat pulls 70 or SO pound?; in fact, with the same kind of an arrangement as a rowing machine In a gym nasium, on man Is able to pull or lift 600 pounds. Might It not be poseible, with suitable surfaces of wings, for a man to pro pel himself through the air by his own power? Wo are now lifting in a 15-mile wind nearly three pounds to the square foot. Speaking of flying machines generally, Mr. Alexander said: They are being built too light to be prac ticable. The lighter the machine the more easily it is ca.Qt about by the wind puffs. The trouble abroad is the procuring of motors which will run without overheating. Gasoline motors are being built so light that they cannot be kept cool. The machines are not perfected to such a degree that a motor of more weight can be carried. There Is no rea son why machines should be built so light there must be a better form than that gen erally followed. Even with the present forma It mleit be possible to generate artificial currents of air against the planee. These artificial currents of air would assist in lifting the machine, would reduce the power necessary to drive them, and would ward off outside eddies and currents which tend to deflect tho course of a machine. The plan would not be dirQfclt to try out. TO 9:3 HE HELPED PARKER Not Necessary to Buy His Sup port in 1904, Says Bryan. DENIES WORLD'S CHARGES Xebraskan Says He Had hut Remote Personal Interest In State Cam palgn That YearChal lenges His Accusers. LINCOLN, Neb., Juno 5. In a Gtatnment given last night to the Associated Press, William J. Bryan replies to an article that appeared a. -week ago In the New York World, charging that Mr. Bryan was the beneficiary of a campaign contribu tion made by Thomas F. Ryan. Mr. Bry an declares if Mr. Ryan made the con tribution, it was without his knowledge or consent, and he repeats his former statement that when It Is proven to him that Mr. Ryan did make the contribution, he will see that the money ,1s returned to the donor. Mr. Bryan says: "I have Just read the World's story charging, first, that my brother-in-law, Mr. Allen, chairman of the Democratic committee, had a conference with Mr Sheehan in 1901 in regard to the cam paign funds. "Second, that Mr. Sheehan as Mr. Ryan's attorney secured from Mr. Ryan $20,000 for the Nebraska campaign. "Third, that Mr. Ryan made the con tribution to secure my open and unquali fied support of Judge Parker. "Fourth, that to disguise the source of the contribution, Mr. Ryan gave the check to Mr. Sheehan and that Mr. Sheehan gave his checks to Mr. Alien. Bryan Adds His Statement. "Chairman Allen and Mr. Dahlman, the Nebraska member of the National Demo cratic Committee, have already denied the World's charges and stated that the only money received came from the National committee, but I desire to add the fol lowing statement: "Mr. Allen says he never saw either Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan, and I have no rea son to doubt his word. If Mr. Ryan con tributed to the Nebraska campaign, it was not with my knowledge or consent. While I had but a remote personal interest in the Nebraska campaign that year, I am Interested in Nebraska politics, and am so interested in National politics that I am not willing to be in the slightest degree obligated to any favor-seeking corpora tion. If, therefore, the World will secure either from Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan a statement, or prove In any other way that Mr. Ryan gave to Mr. Sheehan or to any one else or to the National committee, any sum whatever with the understanding that the sum would be used In the Ne braska campaign, I shall see that the amount is returned to Mr. Ryan. Gave Parker His Support. "As to the charge that my support of Judge Parker was purchased, I need only say that I announced my support of Judge, Parker immediately after the St. Louis convention, and that support was open and unqualified from the convention un til the polls closed. I had opposed his nomination .bat be had no more loyal sun- The Store Will Be Open at 9:30 Today and continue from day to day until the entire stock and store equipment of this big, fine store are disposed of.

While the World was selling Its columns to the Republican commltteo to be used in caricaturing Jndtrf Parker, my paper was urging his election." MONEY WAS SPEXT FOR BERG Thomas H. Tibbies Comes to Defense of Bryan. OMAHA, June 6. Some additional light is thrown on the disposition of the now famous $15,000 "slush fund" raised in New York in 1904 and spent in the Ne braska campaign, by a statement given out today by Thomas II. Tibbies, the Populist nominee for Vice-President, in 1904. At that time Mr. Tibbies was editor of the Independent at Lincoln, and Bryan's Commoner was printed by the Indepen dent plant. Bryan's editorial desk was In the In dependent office. Mr. Tibbies says: "I know right where $5000 of that fund went. It went Into a special edition of 96,000 copies of the Independent which was got out for the purpose of eulogizing Governor Berg for Governor. The entire paper was given up to his candidacy In that edition. The Independent was Pop ulist and Berg was the fusion candidate for Governor. This amount was handed us by Tom Allen. James C. Dahlman Rnd Colonel G. Maher, and tbey secured the funds from the Democratic National Committee on a trip which they made to New York. Tho day after Bryan returned from the St. Louis convention he dropped Into the Independent office, sat down at his desk and began writing an editorial. The first words were, 'I shall support Parker." We put that editorial in type and ran It In the Commoner the following week. All that was done long before there was any talk of needing money In the Nebraska election, and should dls- ONLY $5 PER MONTH "SCIENCE" is "Organized Knowledge" and for the Cure of Catarrh the ImponderoTherapy Treatment is the boiled down and filtered KNOWLEDGE of all the best schools of MEDICAL SCIENCE By this treatment we are daily effecting CURES of cases that have for years defied the highest medical skill; and we will take your case NOW for the very low fee of ONLY $5 PER MONTH RHEUMATISM, NERVOUS DISEASES and all affections of the EYE, EAR, NOSE and THROAT re spond quickly to the healing properties of this wonderful CURE.
