SALEM. June 8. (Special.) Though the
Senatorial term for which Governor
Chamberlain has received the popular
vote will begin In March next, the Gov
ernor will retain his present office until
December and then take the oath and be
gin his duties as Senator, In case the Leg
islature shall elect him when it meets in
January.'
Congress will meet in December of this
year and adjourn March 4, 1000, just be
fore Chamberlain's term begins. It will
not convene again until December, 1909,
unless called In special session.
When asked today what his Intention
was as to giving up his present office to
take the Senatorship, Governor Chamber
lain said;
"I shall be wherever there is the most
work to do. Under ordinary circum
stances there will be nothing of impor
tance to do at Washington until Decem
ber, 1909. If I were there I could bo of
comparatively little service to the state.
There is always plenty of work for a
Governor to do and I shall stay in Ore
gon as long as my presence is not par
ticularly needed in Washington. If at
any time before Congress convenes it
should become apparent that my presence
is needed at Washington, I shall promptly
give up the executive office and go to
the National capital.
It Is the custom to allow Senators com
pensation from the beginning of their
terms, March 4, even though they do not
go to Washington until December. Gov
ernor Chamberlain says, however, that he
will not accept two salaries at the same
time, even if permitted by law.
Governor Chamberlain's Intention to re
tain the office of Governor until Decem
ber will be a disappointment to those Re
publicans who hoped to see Secretary of
State 'Benson become Governor next
March. It is by no means a disappoint
ment to Mr. Benson, for th9 official looks
forward with no pleasant sensations to
the time when he will have to fill the
office of Governor as well as that of Sec
retary of State. When he becomes Gov
ernor,' Mr. Benson will act as two mem
bers of all the State Boards. As a ma
jority of the Board ho will have control
of the Asylum, . Penitentiary, ' Reform
School, Blind School, Muto School, Home
for the Feeble-minded, the Fish Commis
sion and the Board of Capitol Building
Commissioners.
Because he will have power to remove
Democrats from positions at the Peniten
tiary, there will be many friends of Ben
son who will urge him to make room for
Republicans at that Institution. But if
he does not take office until December,
the portion of the executive term remain
ing will be only about 13 months.

Bradley's Tricks Exposed.
The fifth District then was taken Tip,
This is the Louisville district, the home
of Mr. Bradley. He spoke at length, the
time of each side having been extended
to 23 minutes. During his speech he made
the suggestion that, if Mr. Taft Is nomi
nated, it would be doubtful whether he
could carry the State of Kentucky, where
upon Clayton Blakey, attorney for the
Taft delegation, charged thatMr. Bradley
had stumped the state for Fairbanks,
making just that sort of argument. Mr.
Bradley denied the charge, and Mr.
Blakey replied that he had seen letters
written by Mr. Bradley making such
claims, and that he had personally re
ceived one of the letters. Mr. Bradley
was defeated in his case and declined to
continue with the two contests. He said
he would carry them to the credentials
committee of the convention. The com
mittee seated the Taft delegation.
Cannot Both Be Pleased.
The effort to secure a divison of the
committee occurred in the hearing of the
contest from the Fifth Kentucky District
John W. McCullough, who holds the
proxy of John W. Yerkes, the committee
man from Kentucky, demanded a division
on the question of whether the Taft or
the Fairbanks delegation should be seat
ed. Charles Scott, of Alabama, respond
ed, and the two appealed in vain for the
members to rise and be counted. They
stood for a moment, and then sat down.
When Mr. Bradley came out of the
committee-room he accosted Mr. Hitch
cock with the following: ,
"I'm tired of this brace game you are
running. .1 won't bolt the ticket myself,
but I can't speak for Kentucky."
He expressed himself with great bit
terness. Mr. Hitchcock smiled as he re
plied: "I am sorry. Governor,- but I can't see
how we could both be pleased."
Says Taft Shows Weakness.
Representative W. B. McKinley, man
ager of the Presidential boom of Joseph
G. Cannon arrived today to take charge
of the Cannon forces. Late today he
Issued a brief statement, in which he
said:
"The action of the Taft people on the
National committee simply demonstrates
the weakness of their statements that
they had enough votes to nominate Mr.
Taft without the Southern delegates or
tiiose involved in the contests, and, as
the situation now stands, we have every
reason to believe that no candidate will
have enough to nominate him on the first
ballot." '
Jfew Scheme of Allies.
The anti-Taft people today evolved a
plan to prevent Southern delegations
from controlling Republican conventions.
They declare that they will submit it to
the convention. The plan is identical
with the plan proposed by Senator Quay,
of Pennsylvania, In 1S98, but which fulled
of adoption at that time. This plan, if
adopted, will give to each state four
delegates-at-large and one for every
10,000 Republican votes cast at the last
preceding Presidential election. The effect
would be to cut oft approximately 150
delegates and give them to the Northern
states. All of the Northern states would
gain excepting Massachusetts and Ne
vada; these would lose one delegate each.

Roosevelt and Taft Say He Does as
Allies Would Do.
WASHINGTON, June 8. Any doubt
that would have existed as to whether
the Administration and Secretary Taft
approved of the methods pursued by
Frank 'H. Hitchcock, the manager of
the Taft interests In Chicago, in deal
ing with the contesting delegates be
fore the National Committee, was set
at rest by the dispatch of a telegram
today by Mr. Taft to Mr. Hitchcock, di
recting him to make no change in the
methods he Is pursuing.
President Roosevelt does not conceal
his satisfaction at the work being done
In, Chicago. The Administration views
are enclosed in the following utterance,
which actually presents , not only the
views of- the President, but those of
Secretary Taft:
"Now is the time to settle the mat
ter. Those who are falling at Chicago
are the very ones who have been mak
ing unceasing war on the Administra
tion for a long period, and, had the ta
bles been turned, would have gond the
limit of their power to eliminate the
Roosevelt influence on the party."

Ramsey's Expenses Make Wheeling
& Lake Erie Bankrupt.
TOLEDO, O., June 8. On claims ag
gregating $8,871,000, due the National
Carwheel Company of New York, the
Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad was
thrown into the hands of a receiver to
day by United States District Judge W.
W. Taylor. The petition alleges the
total indebtedness of the Wheeling to
be more than $28,000,000. B. A. Worth
ington, of Cleveland, vice-president and
general manager of the road, was ap
pointed receiver and filed a bond of
$100,000.
It is said the troubles of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie road have their foun
dation in the building of the Pittsburg
and Wabash terminals. This work was
started under President Ramsey, who
believed he could put the work through
for $16,000,000, but it had already run
up to over $40,000,000, with the work
still uncompleted. Other matters which
are said to have precipitated a receiv
ership are a note of $1,000,000 due in
August and an $8,000,000 mortgage
which falls due within a few months,
with no funds available to meet them.

LURES HIM TO HIS DEATH
Dr. M. AV. Anspitz Answers Tele
phone Call and Finds Girl With
Kevolver Waiting Woman
Tells a Pitiful Story.
NEW YORK, June 8. Sarah Koten,
the young trained nurse who lured Dr.
Martin W. Auspltz to a house in Har
lem last night by a false telephone
call and shot him to death, after ehe
had lain in wait for him for many
hours, declared today that she had no
regret for her act.
"I shot him, but I did not murder
him," she said in a cell in the police
station as she arraigned the summons
to appear in court. "I killed him be
cause he wronged me and then refused
to help me. I tried to punish him in
the courts, but found myself power
less. My father and mother are dead,
so I had to protect my honor and my
self." Sarah Koten presented a most de
jected appearance when she was ar
raigned in Police Court, far different
from the defiant young woman who
surrendered herself to the police last
night. She wept incessantly.
Recently From Russia.
Miss Koten wept as she told her story
in the Coroner's court. Ehe said she came
to America from Russia six months ago
and secured a position as nurse in Dr.
Auspltz' private hospital last November.
Dr. Auspitz, she declared, visited her
room in the hospital and assaulted her.
When she found that she -was to become
a mother, she said, the doctor suggested
a criminal operation, but she refused to
permit it and left the hospital.
"I had no friends and no money," said
Miss Koten. "I was very poor and could
not get work because of my condition. I
procured a lawyer and had Dr. Auspitz
brought before the Court of General Ses
sions. .My witnesses were discredited and
everything went his way. After he was
acquitted, I was advised to go to the Dis
trict Attorney's office. There the Assist
ant District Attorney told me that inas
much as the case had been tried there
was npthing more to be done."
Tears Her Own Hair.
Here the young woman broke down,
wept and tore her hair, striking her
breast with her hands.
Then," she continued, "I decided that
if I could get no justice in the courts,
I would be my own avenger; I could have
killed him in his own home, but I feared
to do that lest I should injure some one
else, so I decided to call him Into that
hallway. I waited and waited, and then
he came. Then I fired the shot"
Coroner Harburger held Miss Koten
without bail to await the inquest.
DIM0ND TAKES THE STAND
Tells of Relations With Hyde in
and Deals.
WASHINGTON. June 8. When the trial
of Hyde, Dimond, Benson and Schneider,
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
Government out of valuable timber lands
in the West, was resumed in the criminal
court today, Henry P. Dimond, one of
the defendants, was placed on the stand.
He formerly was an attorney at San
JTrancisco, but at present he is general
.:
manager of the Dried Fruit Association
of California.
Dimond testified that his business rela
tions with Hyde began in June, 1901.
Witness said that Hyde told him he had
a number of cases in the General Land
Office in Washington which were drag
ging along, and offered Dimond $1800 a
year, the contract being finally signed,
for Dimond to give preference to these
cases over all others. Dimond said after
familiarizing himself with the methods of
procedure before the land office,' he ar
rived in Washington in August, 1901. At
the General Land Office he was intro
duced by a friend to the chief clerk.
There were about 275 of these cases, and
Dimond said he endeavored to get at
their status, but that he found it difficult
to get the information he wanted.
Relative to the suspension of the order,
Dimond said he first learned of it from
Hyde, and at the latter's request he
came to Washington, stopping en route
at Tucson, Ariz., where he met for the
first time Joost Schneider. The result of
the Interview with Schneider and of his
investigations in Washington were report
ed to Hyde.
One of the letters written by Dimond
to Hyde, in which it was stated that
"the laxity of the system employed by
Hyde was responsible for the calamity
that happened," was read to the Jury.
The letter also showed that Dimond was
insisting that Hyde search for and pro
duce as many as possible of the persons
whose applications for public lands
passed through his office.

MILWAUKEE, June 8. Thirty dele

It Is regarded as extremely doubtful
by officers of the union if another labor
