illegal trusts and monopolies, the ex
posure and punishment of evil-doers in
the public service; the more effective
regulation of the rates and service of
the great transportation lines: the over
throw of preferential railroad rates and
rebates and discriminations: the arbi
tration of lajor disputes, the ameliora
tion of the conditions of wageworkers
everywhere, the conservation of the
natural resources of the country, the
forward step in the improvement of the
inland waterways and always the
earnest support and defense of every
wholesome safeguard which has made
more secure the guarantees of life, lib
erty and prosperity.
"These are the achievements that
will make fori Theodore Roosevelt his
place in history. But more than any.
thingvelse, great, things he has done
will be an inspiration to those who
have jet greater things to do. We
declare our unfaltering adherence to
the policies thus inaugurated and
pledge their continuance under a Re
publican administration of the Gov
ernment." Stricter Railroad Regulation.
"We have approved the enactment of
a railroad rate law and the vigorous en
forcement h,v the present administration
of the statutes against rebates and dis
crimination as a result of which the ad
vantages formerly possessed by the large
shipper over the small shipper have sub
stantially disappeared. In this connection
we commend the appropriation of $50.000
by the 60th Congress in order to enable
the Interstate Commerce Commission
thoroughly to Investigate and give pub
licity to the accounts of the railroads.
"We believe, however, that the inter
state commerce law should be further
amended so as to give railroads the
right to make and publish traffic agree
ments subject to the approval of the
commission, but maintaining always the
principle of competition between natur
ally competing lines and avoiding the
common control of such lines by any
means whatsoever, and we specially
favor the enactment of such legislation
aa will provide for B'ederal restriction
against the over-issue of stocks and
bonds by interstate carriers."
The exact text of the plank relating
to the tariff as well as of the plank con
cerning anti-injunction legislation fol
lows: "The Republican party declares un
equivocally for a revision of the tariff
by a special session of Congress imme
diately upon the inauguration of the
next President, and commends the steps
already taken to this end in work as
signed to the appropriate committees
of the two houses, which are now in
vestigating the operation and effect of
existing schedules. In all tariff legis
lation the trne principle of protection
is best maintained by the imposition of
such duties as will equal the difference
between the cost of production at home
and abroad, together with a reasonable
profit to American industries, and the
benefits that follow are best secured
by the establlshement of maximum and
minimum rates which shall be applied
automatically to the trade of other
countries In accordance with their
treatment of our trade. The minimum
should represent the normal measure of
protection required for the benefits of
our own industries.
"The aim and purpose of the Repub
lican party is not only to preserve with
out excessive duties that security against
foreign competition to which American
manufacturers, farmers and producers
are entitled, but also to maintain the
high standard of living of the wage
earners of this country, who are the
most direct beneficiaries of the protec
tive system.
"Between the United States and the
Philippine Islands we favor free inter
change of products with such limitations
as to sugar and tobacco as will avoid In
jury to domestic interests.
Limit on Injunctions.
"We declare for" such an amendment of
the statutes of procedure in the Federal
courts with respect to the use of the writ
of injunction as will on the one hand
prevent the summary issue of such orders
without proper consideration and on the
other will preserve undiminished the
power of courts to enforce their process
to the end that justice may be done at
all times and to all parties."
Strengthen Sherman Law.
"The Republican party passed the Sher
man bill over jjornocratle opposition and
enforced it after Democratic dereliction. It
has been a wholesome instrument for good
in the hands of a wise and fearless ad
ministration. But experience has shown
that its effectiveness can be strengthened
and its real objects better attained by
such amendments as will give to the Fed
eral Government greater supervision and
control and the securing of publicity over
that class of interstate corporations hav
ing power and opportunities to effect mo
nopolies, and at the same time will not In
terfere with the existence of associating
among business men, farmers and wage
earners so long as their conduct or opera
tions result In a positive benefit to the
public."
Currency Law Only Makeshift.
The currency plank contains this lan
guage: "The Republican party approves the
Aldrich-Vreeland currency bill, but only
as an emergency measure. We declare
for a thorough and new system of cur
rency laws that will be in accord with
the needs of the times and which will be
more adaptable to the demands of busi
ness and more elastic in its character as
a circulating medium."
ARRESTED BY HIS FRIEND
Edgar P. Story In Trouble for Pass
ing Worthless Checks.
Two worthless checks aggregating
1145. To. a trusting Chinese merchant-tailor
and an indignant acquaintance who had
recommended him to the tailor, co'mbined
last night about midnight in a series of
circumstances which resulted in landing
Kdgar P. Story, a former employe of the
I'acine States Telephone Company, in the
City Jail. For the past six months Story,
who is a young man of good appearance'
and address, has resided at the New
Grand Central Hotel, where he made the
acquaintance of Henry B. Sterling. Two
weeks ago Story lost his position with
the telephone company, but continued to
live at the hotel.
Last Friday Story went into the tailor
shop of Charley Lee. a Chinese tailor at
93 North Third street, and on the pre
text of ordering a $40 suit got the Chi
nese to accept a check for (41.23. of which
tol was given to Story in cash and the
rest to apply as a deposit on the suit.
While Story was in the shop Sterling
passed and came in, knowing both the
tailor and his customsr. The " Chinese
asked Sterling If Story was all right, and
received a reply In the affirmative. The
next morning Story called again. This
time he had a check for J104.30. He bought
a coat for $15, and asked that he be cred
ited with $30 due on the suit ordered the.
day before. This was done and the tail
or handed his customer $64.50 in cash in
change. Yesterday the checks came back
marked worthless.
Charley Lee informed Sterling yester
day that Story had swindled him out of
nearly $100 in cash. Last night Sterling
seized Story on the street and took him
to the police station. Charley Lee was
sent for and told his story and Sterling
turned his prisoner, who admitted his
guilt, over to the police. He wa? locked
up charged with "vagrancy," and the
tailor will sign a complaint against him
this morning for forgery.
It was also said that Story had tried
to pass a check for more than $40. on the
hotel proprietor, but had not succeeded.

the selection of ten delegates to the Na
tional Convention at Denver met here to
day. Resolutions instructing the dele
gates to the National Convention to vote
for , William J. Bryan for candidate for

the other by Thomas M. Patterson,
former I'nited States Senator.
State Chairman Milton Smith called the
convention to order and announced that
the Speer delegation had been placed on
the temporary roll. Senator Patterson
and Ben Hilliard of the contesting Den
ver delegation attempted to gain tecognl
tlon for the purpose of stating their
position but were ruled out of order by
the chair.
The convention adjourned until - P.
M. and upon re-convening listened to
arguments from representatives from
each side to the Denver contest. The roll
was called on the majority report of the
credentials committee, the vote: Ayes,
452: nays. 190, thus electing the Speer
delegation.
The convention then made the tem
porary organization and adjourned till
tomorrow morning.
BRINGS IN ALASKA GOLD
City of Seattle Reaches Port With
Cargo of $1,800,000 in Dust.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 15. (Special.)
The steamship City of Seattle, which
arrived in port early thts morning from
Southwestern Alaska, brought the first
shipment of gold from Fairbanks to reach
Seattle by the Skagway route. In all, she
brought about $1,800,000, the greater part
of which was consigned to Dexter, Hor
ton & Co., bankers of this city. Another
large lot was $504,000. consigned to the
Washington Trust Company from the
Washington Alaska Bank, its branch at
Fairbanks. The gold came up the Yukon
on the Prospector, which had a difficult
trip, owing to the fact that the river is
the lowest In years, and several times it
was necessary for the Prospector to tie
cables to shore and be pulled over bars
in the river.
SCHOOL ELECTION SPIRITED
Politics Play Important Part in Ec
tacada Voting.
At Estacada last night there was a
spirited school election in which polit
ical factions are said to have taken an
active part. The district is No. 108 and
comprises Estacada, Cazadero and ad
jacent territory. The principal contest
was in the election of a school clerk,
two candidates having offered for the
position. One was J. F. Lovelace, a
candidate to succeed himself, and the
other L. E. Belfils, cashier of the Esta
cada State Bank. The anti-ReJed peo
ple are said to have supported Mr.
Lovelace. and the-Reed faction Mr. Bel
fils. The election resulted In the elec
tion of Mr. Belfils.
John Stormer, for five years a mem
ber of the school board, was unani
mously re-elected for another' term of
three years. It was also voted to add
a .fourth teacher in the school, who is
to begin in the Fall term; and the
meeting also declared in favor of a
three-mill tax on a property valuation
of $700,000 in the district.

Tart in Full Control.
After the preliminary gathering tomor
row, there will be a period of suspense
for pract'.cally two days, during which
the committees will meet and the organ
ization be perfected, so that the actual
nomination of the President is not liable
to occur before Thursday,
The business of today has been divided
chiefly between the Canvassing of states
for selection of officers and representa
tives on. the various committees plat
form, credentials. National committee,
etc. These selections by the states have
a decisive Influence in determining the
complexion of the various controlling
committees of the convention. The cau
cuses today left little room to doubt that
the Taft forces would be in substantial
control of the organization when the full
committees are assembled.
Don't Want Vice-Presidency.
Among the more important state con
ferences of the day were those of Ohio.
New York. Indiana and Iowa, as each had
some bearing upon the perplexing ques
tion of the Vice-Presidency. Each of
these gatherings brought forth the odd
negative conclusion of declaring not to
be in favor of any candidate for the Vice
Presidency, Ohio because the Taft lead
ers do not wish to be in the attitude of
dictating; New York because advocacy of
Representative Sherman or Seth Low or
any other New Yorker might Impugn the
loyalty to Governor Hughes; Iowa be
cause the state wants Senator Dolllver
to remain where he is In the Senate and
thus avoid a hari-kari of state politics;
Indiana because long-distance persuasion
has not Induced Vice-President Fairbanks
to change his attitude toward the first
and second places on the ticket. Other
state caucuses were equally, fruitless in
solving the Vice-Presidential mystery,
which deepens as a ballot approaches,
until -it really seems that the prize may
be thrown In the" arena for a nerve-racking
struggle.
The Dolllver movement experienced
varying fortunes today. Early in the day
it was reported that the White House
favored an Iowan,' either Mr. Dolllver
or Governor Cummins, which sent the
Dolllver stock up with a bound. But
this was offset by the action of the Ohio
managers, who are supposed to reflect
Secretary Taft's wishes in formally de
claring that the Taft forces are scrup
ulously avoiding the support of any Vice
Presidential candidate. Moreover, Chair
man Perkins, of the Iowa delegation,
and Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa,
called on ex-Governor Herrick, chairman
of the Ohio forces, and told him posi
tively that Mr. Dolliver could not and
would not be a candidate. This brought
the Dolliver stock down again and to
night it stands at the same level as yes
terday. The movement for Mr. Sherman or
some other New York man is similarly
connected by the decision of the s"tate
not to present a candidate for second
place until Mr. Hughes' name is , elim
inated for first place, either by the bal
lots or by his withdrawal. Congressman
Herbert Parsons, of New York, in a tele
gram sent to the Governor, today sought
to draw his attention to the opportune
ness of a withdrawal. Mr. Hughes in his
reply saw no exigency at present, which
calls for his retirement.
Cannon Wants Platform Changed.
Mr. Cannon remained in Chicago all
day and. although keeping away from
the noisy centers of convention enthu
siasm, took a most active part in the
conferences on the platform. His un
expected advent here laet night for the
express purpose of having a voice In
the document which may shape future
legislation, has led to renewed consid
eration of sumie of the details of planks,
notably those of Injunctions and trusts.
The Speaker was closeted with Senator
Hopkins, Prospective chairman of the
platform committee, for over an hour
today, and then Mr. Hopkins was clos
eted with Wade Ellis, custodian of the
platform, and Senator Long of Kansas
and Frank ti. Kellogg of Minnesota,
the only ones to whom copies have been
intrusted. M-. Cannon's friends be
lieve the injunction and trust planks
will be modified, if not eliminated, but
the custodian of the draft has given fio
evidence of making any notable
changes. The feature of the trust
plank which it said to have attracted
his particular solicitude, is one which
inferentially would exempt certain or
ganizations, including labor and farm
ing organizations, from the operations
of the law, although such exemptions
in a general law have been said to be
pronounced unconstitutional by the Su
preme Court of Illinois eome 15 years
ago.'
The name of ex-Governor Herrick, of
Ohio, is the latest one to be brought
forth for chairman of the National
committee to managei the coming cam
paign. It has been received with much
favor, owing to Mr. Herrick's close re
lations with Secretary Taft. However,
it is understoon the National commit
tee will defer the selection of a chair
man until there is opportunity to con
fer in person with the nominee.

BORAH VICTORY COMPLETE
l Continued From First pa.ge.
No matter If Heyburn should fight, he
could not defeat Lingenfelter and
Hodgin. All he could do would be to
prevent a vote on confirmation, but if
he did this. Taft, upon .entering the
White House, would reappoint both
men and Heyburn would again suffer
defeat.
Borah is as strong with Taft as with
Roosevelt and will have the upper hand
of Heyburn in administration circles
from this time forward.
Was Born in Missouri.
Mr. Lingenfelter was born in Missouri
and in 1903, moved to Lewiston, Idaho,
where he lias since practiced law. Mr.
Hodgin is Sheriff of Ada County. Idaho.
He is a young man and is understood to
have performed excellent service in con
nection with the trial of Haywood and
Pettibone.

probably be to request the County Com

will require five days. ,
It will not be necessary for the new

REVIVES OLD IDAHO SCANDAL
Lingenfelter Helped to Defend Men
Convicted of Land Frauds.
LEWISTON. Idaho. June 15. (Special.)
The appointment of C. H. Lingenfelter.
of Lewiston. to the office of United States
Attorney to succeed Norman Rulck. re
moved, revives the bitter factional fight
of the Republican party in Idaho. The
action of President Roosevelt in recom
mending the appointment of Lingenfelter
is regarded as a retraction of the admin
istration in the prosecution of the Idaho
land-fraud cases, where the Government
has expended more than J100.000 and se
cured the conviction of Kester, Ketten
bach and associates on charges of con
spiracy to defraud the Government of val
uable timber lands..
At the beginning of the prosecution of
Kester. Kettenbach and associates. Unit
ed States Senator W. E. Borah appeared
as attorney for the defendants, and Mr.
Lingenfelter was retained as associate.
Upon the election of Mr. Borah to the
office of United States Senator, he re
tired from active identification with the
cass. but was afterward made defendant
in a similar action with the Barbour
Lumber Company of South Idalio.
Through the efforts of Mr. Borah, the
removal of United States Attorney Nor
man Ruick and United States Marshal
Ruel Rounds was secured and the ap
pointment of Mr. Lingenfelter shows the
results of his influence In naming a man
who will represent the Government's In
terests in the appeal cases of Kester and
Kettenbach now lefore the Circuit Court
of Appeals.
Republicans, of Idaho who have in
dorsed the action ot the administra
tion in the prosecution of Idaho land
fraud cases assert' tonight that the
most bitter fight in the history of the
party in Idaho is now on and that the
issue of good citizenship vs. graft will
be fought to the bitter end. It Is be
lieved President Roosevelt is .unfam
iliar with the conditions surrounding
the candidacy of Mr. Lingenfelter. and
when full information is laid before him
that he will recall the appointment.

LAST night marked the occasion of the
third annual production by the Ore
gon branch of the Association of Colle
giate Alumnae. The play selected for
tills year was "Colombe'a Birthday," one
of the most characteristically Impressive
contributions which Robert Browning
made to , English literature. The per
formance was given at the Empire The
ater in the presence of w. fashionable
and appreciative audience, which re
sponded to the efforts of the talented
young Women who appeared in the va
rious roles with a sympathy and under
standing that must have made the task
an easy one to the actors. The produc
tion was under the personal direction of
Rose Eytinge, who had devoted some
weeks to the coaching of the various
members of the cast. That she did not
work In vain was demonstrated by the
finished performance which was given.
In the role of Colombe, Mrs. R. W.
Wilbur again thoroughly sustained
her reputation as an amateur ac
tress of exceptional ability. The Valence
of Eleanor McDonald was a charming
conception of a difficult and exacting
role and Margaret Nash acquitted herself
splendidly as Sabyne. A degree of en

DEACONS UP FOR JUSTICE
NOT MEX WANTED, THOUGH,
AXD OFFICER GETS SCOIUXG.
Tongues ot Fire leaders in t'ouit for
'ot ".Moving On" in Open Field
When Policeman Orders.
Four deacons of the denomination
known as "Tongues of Fire." in frock
coats and wearing solemn countenances,
faced the bar of justice in Judge Cam
eron's court yesterday morning to answer
to the charge of "refusing to move on."
The entire proceedings against them,
according to Deputy City Attorney Tom
linson, was a farce, the defendants not
being the persons wanted. In addition to
this, such a charge as the deacons were
booked for would have been untenable,
according to the Deputy City Attorney,
and it would have been impossible to con
vict them, even had they been suilty.
The blunder for the entire affair is
charged to Patrolman B. F. Sherwood, of
the Mount Tabor district, who made the
arrests. It was shown by the testimonv
in court that the "near-zealous" police
officer arrested practically everybody ex
cept the right persons.
. Following the services of the unique
faith at Mount Tabor Sunday night, a
fight ensued among several hoodlum
hangers-on who had been threatening
trouble during the evening. Bent on ar
resting somebody, 'Sherwood, in the tur
moil, got hold of the deacons. When the
four pious-looking men were arraigned
before Judge Cameron they were In
stantly picked out by the leader of the
flock as being deacons of the denomina
tion. Sherwood was then scored for his
blunder, but it was not until it was dis
covered that the charge which he had
placed against them was untenable that
the compliments became numerous. In
asmuch as the alleged blocking of traffic
took place In an open field, such a
charge was declared to be ridiculous. The
