ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. June 10. Senator
Borah, after a conference -with the
President and Secretary Taft. an
nounced this mornlne that the Re
publican nominee for the Vice-Presidency
would be a Western man.
"He Is going to live as far west as
Iowa." he said, "If not farther."
It is well known that Mr. Taft
looks with keen favor upon Senator
Dolllver as his running mate, but
Mr. Dolliver's nomination might re
sult In the election of Governor
Cummins'., to the Senate, and Mr.
Dolllver, because of the situation In
Iowa, may dec'.ine to run.
Because of Mr. Borah's intimate
relations with Taft and the Presi
dent, unusual significance attaches
to his statement. As he was leaving.
Mr. Borah Jocularly suggested the
availability of Senator Piles, of
Washington. for Vice-Presidential
nominee.
CHICAGO, June 10. (Special.) With
clinched and riveted votes only three
ihort of enough to nominate on the basis
of the allies' figuring, with 98 contested
delegates' seats still to be decided by the
National Committee, and with fully half
of these seats conceded by the opposition,
the Taft managers thought the time op
portune tonight to give some attention
to affairs minor to the Presidency.
Statisticians, using their own unpreju
diced tables, computed the Taft strength
at the conclusion of today's contest de
ciding by the National Committee at 504
13 more votes than enough to nominate
on the first ballot and a net gain of 117
since the consideration of contests was
begun.
The only real question remaining at
all doubtful now Is as to whether the
nomination may be made by acclama
tion. No great surprise would be oc
casioned were the "favorite son" nomi
nating addresses next week to be
turned Into Taft seconding speeches.
Third-Term Talk Revived.
In the Taft hour of triumph, the to-be-expected
third-term roorback raised
Itself. It c6uld be traced to no definite
source, appearing, as it did, in a half
dozen or so differenc forms. Several
leaders of the "allies" declared they
had heard talk about efforts under way
to spring' a Roosevelt stampede, but
one and all disowned responsibility
for the reports, and declared that
they were not attempting to turn the
convention away from Mr. Taft.
One of the manifestations of the Roose
velt talk revival came through "second
elective term" literature, which found its
way into the mail of delegates already
on the ground. Other manifestations in
volved reports of secret work being done
to line up the Empire State delegation
for the President and work of the same
kind in Iowa and elsewhere.
Stampede Xot Possible.
The Taft men of the National commit
tee and the shrewd leaders of the anti
Taft forces took no stock in any of the
stories about attempts to spring a Roose
velt surprise. All the developments since
the first of the big Republican politicians
arrived in Chicago to participate in the
preliminaries have operated to remove
any possibility of a stampede.
Several conferences were held on the
subject, and tonight, after the proposi
tion had been dissected and shredded and
put under the microscope, the allied
forces were divided among- themselves,
part of them urging that a stampede
would be in order to defeat Mr. Taft, the
others urging that Mr. Taft in the White
House would be preferable to four years
more of Mr. Roosevelt.
GIVKS OXE VOTE TO FORAKER
Committee Decides More Contests for
Taft His Total Now 504.
CHICAGO, June 10. The Republican
National Committee by its work today de
cided contests in two states at large
and 14 districts, the net result being that
33 full and two one-half votes were added
to the number already possessed by Wil
liam H. Taft and two one-half votes were
given to Senator J. B. Foraker. The
committee has yet to consider contests at
large in four states and a total of 3S
district contests and two from the ter
ritories, involving a total of !4 votes.
Previous to the meeting of the com
mittee the number of Taft instructed dele
gates was 3S7. The work of the com
mittee as far as It has progressed has

Only Daughter or Dead Millionaire
Once 'Worked In Chicago Store.
Now in Galveston.
GALVESTON, Tex., June 10. (Special.)
Louise Whiting Belmont Clarke, claim
ing to be the only daughter of O. H. P.
Belmont, the New York millionaire, by
his first wife, Sarah Whiting, has been
a resident of Galveston for several years.
She was placed in St. Mary's Convent on
account of a love affair, although ad
mitting that her stepmother, Alva Van
derbilt, did not like her. :
After two years in the convent, she
escaped and at the age of 16 made her
way to Chicago and worked in a store.
While on a visit in Baltimore she mar
ried Charles A. Hughes, a clerk, who
died two years later. She then went to
Chicago, where she married John T.
Clarke, and a child was born to them,
which was lost in the Galveston storm of
September, 1900.
The young woman is cultured and, like
her father, very strongheaded.
GIRLS DISLIKE BASEBALL
Team of Female Players From Chi
cago Has Much Trouble.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 10. Tell
ing a tale of woe that was pathetic, Bir
die Carlton and her team of female base
ball players from Chicago arrived in the
city this morning and the first thing
the captain did was to Insert a want ad.
in an evening paper for athletic gfls
who want to Join the club.
Femininity and baseball do not jibe,
according to the experiences' of the base
ball club now in the city. One of the
girls was struck in the eye a few days
ago and is now on the hospital list with
a decorated orb. Another player was
taken sick and is now in the hospital
at Everett. Yesterday a hot liner from
the bat struck a mi6S on second base
right on the shin bone, and she has been
bo discouraged ever since that there is
little chance of her playing again.
"The western girls don't seem to take
to ball playing as they do in the East,"
said Miss Carlton. "I have met several
girls on Puget Sound who would like to
play ball, but they think the game is
too rough."

POSSES FILL CANADIAN WOODS
Reward of $2000 Posted for
Slayer of Mrs. Morrison.
ALL ROADS ARE GUARDED
Fiend Who Assaulted and Killed
naze I mere, B. C, Woman Thought
to Be Making His Way Toward
the Cascade Mountains.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 10.
Aroused by the fiendish nature of the
crime and stimulated still further by
the Provincial government's offer of a
reward of $2000, hundreds of armed
men are tonight searching the woods
in the vicinity of Blaine for the slayer
of Mrs. Mary Morrison, who was out
raged and murdered near her home
In Hazelmere, B. C, yesterday. For
20 miles east from Blaine posses are
scattered through the heavy forest
along the international boundary line
and the greatest man-hunt the Pacific
Northwest has known since the pur
suit of Harry Tracy, the outlaw, in
the Summer of 1902, is in progress.
Roads and Trails Guarded. '
Citizens on both sides of the boundary
have joined in the hunt, which is being
directed by Detective Staine, of the Pro
vincial Police, assisted by a squad of
picked men, who started out from Blaine
this evening. It is the theory of the
Canadian police that the murderer is
still on the northern side of the boun
dary line, and will make an attempt to
cross the Cascade Mountains in order to
reach the railroad at a distance from
the scene of his crime.
The country is thickly timbered and in
the heavy underbrush the fugitive will
be obliged to travel slowly. Therefore
Detective Staine has hurried posses east
ward and every road and trail between
Blaine and the mountains 'is being pat
roled. Lynching Is Threatened.
No crime in recent years has stirred
the public more deeply than the Hazel
mere murder, and the murderer in all
probability will be lynched on the spot
if caught. It was partly for the purpose
of preventing summary vengeance from
being taken that Detective Staine was
reinforced today after the chase began.
Late this afternoon a roughly
dressed man was discovered in the
woods near Blaine and arrested by a
citizens' posse as answering the de
scription of the murderer. He proved
to be a lumberjack in the employ of
the Boundary mill, and proved that he
was at work in . the mill at the time
Mrs. Morrison was murdered.
Sheriff Williams. of Whatcom
County, visited Hazelmere today and
began an investigation of the crime.
His theory is that the fugitive Is
traveling southward and deputies are
guarding the roads between ' this city
and Blaine.
Mrs. Morrison, the murdered woman,
was 43 years of age and was the
mother of six children, ranging in age
from 2 to IS years.
THE STRANGE ANIMAL
I
Binshingly Admits Impending Mar
riage, but Can Do Without Fi
ance's Ready Cash.
CHICAGO. June 10. (Special.) Tender
romance found its way into the strong
hold of rough and vociferous politicians
today when Miss Edna Goodrich, the
actress, who "was once a Chicago school
girl, arrived at the Auditorium Annex
and, blushing and timorous, allowed it to
be whispered about that she would be
married to J. H. MacMillan, of Berkeley,
Cal., said to be a millionaire, some time
next Winter.
Miss Goodrich added that she Intended
then to give up the stage and live on the
Pacific Coast. She said:
"I wish to deny most strongly the
untrue stories printed to the effect that
I am using Mr. MacMillan's money. That's
not true. I have ample funds of my own
and do not have to ask Mr. MacMillan
or anyone else for ready cash."
Edna Goodrich was one of the promi
nent characters mentioned In the Thaw
murder trial and has been leading wom
an in Nat Goodwin's company for several
years.

Assembly Passes Bills.
ALB ANT, N. T., June ' 10. Veterans
of many sensational legislative battles
confess that their memores lack a com
plete parallel to the extraordinary ses
sion existing here tonight on the eve
of the second struggle in the - Senate
over the bills embodying the renewed
recommendation of Governor Hughes
that the legal discrimination be abol
ished, which for 13 years has practically
protected public gambling at race
tracks in this state. A conference of
the Republican Senators late agreed
upon a limitation of debate which
should bring the bills to a final vote
probably late tomorrow afternoon or in
the evening. This was followed by a
meeting of the finance cdmmittee to
consider the joint resolution adopted
some time ago by the assembly fixing
the hour for final adjournment of the
extraordinary session at 2 o'clock to
morrow afternoon.
Card Up Opposition's Sleeve.
In this committee meeting, Senator
Grady, leader of the Democratic minor
ity, who has led oh the Senate floor the
opposition to the anti-gambling bills,
surprised everybody not .in his confi
dence by suddenly agreeing for his own
part that debate should be so limited
as ti brinr the final vote at noon. Up
to tat moment it had been expected
that the opposition would exhaust every
means to delay the vote.
Most observers Interpret Mr. Grady's
attitude as indicating that the opposi
tion has in reserve the fledged vote or
the equally effective absence from the
Senate chamber at the critical moment
of one or more of the 25 Senators 'who
voted forhe bills on April 8 in the reg
ular session, when they failed of pas
sage by a tie vote.
Tomorrow's battle will be entirely in
the Senate, for the Assembly this after
noon passed both anti-gambling bills, the
majority In their favor being reduced
from the former vote of 126 to 7 and 126
to 9 to 100 to 24 and 98 to 26.
Sick Senator Arrlies.
Senator Otto G. Foelker, of Brooklyn,
whose vote is indispensable to the pas
sage of the bills, accompanied by Dr.
Murphy, his physician, arrived in Al
bany tonight from Staatsburg, where he
has been confined to his bed for a month
after an operation for appendicitis. The
Senator looked very sick and was driven
at once with Dr. Murphy to a private
house, where he will spend the night.
Mr. Foelker suffered a collapse soon
after reaching the house. At midnight
Dr. Murphy said:
"The Senator has undertaken a task

UNVEILS FATHER'S STATUE
Clarence Mackay at Nevada Univer
sity Wife Given Degree.
RENO, Nev., June 10. -The ceremon
ies of the week at the University of
Nevada were brought to a close today
by the presfentation of the bounding of
the School of .Mines as the Mackay
memorial and the unveiling of the sta
tue of John W. Mackay, by his son,
Clarence.
In the spacious gymnasium which
was not large enough to accommodate
the assembled crowds, the morning ex
ercises began. On the stage were Pres
ident Stubbs, of the University, Colonel
George Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Mackay and the members of the Board
of Regents, Bishop Roberts and others.
After an address by Colonel Harvey,
scholarship prizes were awarded and
the degree of doctor of laws was then
conferred upon George B. McC. Harvey
and others As Mrs. Mackay walked
from the stage wearing her new honor
of master of arts, she kissed her hus
band ' softly and then sat down and
wept silently.
After the ceremonies the boys com
pelled Mr. Mackay to' dress as a miner
and on their shoulders carried him to
the gymnasium where a delightful
luncheon was given. Mr. Mackay gave
a dinner for them at the Riverside Ho
tel. This evening a ball and reception
was held in the gymnasium.

Takahira Says Alarm About Japan
ese Policy Is Causeless.
PRINCETON, N. J., June 10. On accepting-
the degree of doctor of laws
at Princeton commencement exercises
today. Baron Takahira, Japanese Am
bassador at Washington, spoke of the
similar degree conferred by Princeton
upon the late Secretary John Hay, and
said that Mr. Hay was the father of
the open-door policy in the Far East,
with which Japan had to concern her
self seriously. This policy Baron
Takahira alluded to as "Mr. Hsy's
child." He declarod that the growth
of this child is shown by the steady
gl-owth of American imports into Co
rea and Manchuria, as evidenced in the
official reports of the United States
Government, and despite so many
stories and prophecies advanced in the
press against the Japanese attitude.
Continuing, Baron Takahira said:
"The recent conclusion of a con
vention between the United States and
Japan for the mutual protection In
Corea and China of Invention designs,
trade-marks and copyrights of Ameri
can citizens and Japanese subjects
leaves no room for any suspicion of
our sincere desire not only to main
tain, but to develop as much as pos
sible the principle of the open door
and equal opportunities In these coun
tries, and I do not see what can make
certain observers feel so nervous."
DYNAMITE WRECKS A CAR
Tossed From Track at Clevelund and
Many Passengers Cut.
CLEVELAND, July 11. Four pas
sengers and the motorman and con
ductor were injured shortly after mid
night this morning, when a Cedar
avenue car, o?und east for Euclid
Heights, was wrecked on Murray Hill
by what is supposed to have been a
charge of dynamite.
As the car was ascending the' hill
it passed over the explosive. The
force of the detonation tossed it from
the track, wrecked the floor and shat
tered all the windows. The passen
gers and crew were cut by glass and
bruised by being thrown against the
woodwork. None suffered fatal inju
ries. The police believe the dynamiting is
an echo of the streetcar strike, which
has not been officially declared off.
ESTHETICS OF DANCING
Instructor Says the Art Unites
Thoughts and Motion.
CHICAGO, June 10. (Special.) Beau
tiful thoughts these are the pillars of
expuisite dancing. One must possess
them before one can properly Merry
Widow-waltz, or even buck-and-wing.
This sweet truth was graven today in
the minds of the delegates to the third
session of the National Association of
Dancing Masters.
Miss Margaret Thuma, a dancing in
structor well known in Pittsburg, was
the lecturer. She soon proved that the
City of Smoke is the core of things
esthetic. She drilled her fellows in
ways of dancing- instruction that few
ever dreamed of before. Miss Thuma
mantalned, first and foremost, that one
must entertain beautiful thoughts be-
1 fore one can do beautiful dances.

KANSAS CITY. June 10. Late to
nlfrht the Kaw broke out of the dam
formed by the Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific bridges by cutting
through the railway embankment '
south of the Morris Packing- House.
The rush of -water and drift through
the new channel carried down a part
of the elevated cattle shuts leading
from the packing house to the stock
rards. The current also cut a 40
foot gap through the track of the
Union Pacific at the west approach
to the bridge.
KANSAS CITY, June 10. All calcula
tions of the Weather Bureau and river
experts as to the duration and extent of
the flood at the junction of the Kaw and
Mtesourl Rivers were upset today by the
continued rise of the Missouri River, due
to heavy rains in Dakota and Nebraska.
At 5 P. M. the Missouri River was 27.2
feet above low water, a rise of .2 since
noon.
The Kaw has overflowed most of the
railroad yards, the stockyards and the
residence and manufacturing district of
Armourdale. Ten feet of water is run
ning through Kansas avenue, the main
street of Arrnourt!ale.
The flood Is the highest since that of
1903, but the water is more than seven
feet lower than in Oiat year.
Five railroad lines out of Kansas City
are now tied up and three others will be
out of service before midnight. The lines
tied up are the Union Faciflc, Santa Fe
and Rock Island, west, and the Burling
ton and Missouri Pacific, north.
Convention Hall was opened today to
shelter refugees. At least 15,000 persona
have been driven from their homes.
Dlonyso Trakatos, a Greek packing
house employe, was drowned from a raft
in Third street, Kansas City, Kan., to
night. The overflow is bound to cause trouble
east of here as far as St. Louis, it Is
predicted, as it reaches into the Mlssis-
