SHERMAN LITTLE
IN STATE
Most of New York's Voters
Were Hardly Aware of
His Existence.
IS CREATURE OF MACHINE
"Record In Congress a Blank Page.
Inside Story ot Ills Nomination
Kxplains Cannon's Fervid
Oratory at Chicago.
BY LLOYD F. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK, June 25. (Special.)
What particular strength has been added
to the Republican National ticket by the
selection of James S. Sherman as Taft's
running mate? This Is a question not
satisfactorily answered up to date. The
machine men are perfectly satisfied, of
course, but the rank and file of the party
are disposed to look upon the choice
with doubt.
Sherman has been in Congress for 20
years, with the exception of one term,
but to Republicans in this end of the
state he is merely a name. Year after
year he has been nominated In a district
that is overwhelmingly Republican, but
never has he 6tartled anybody by a record-breaking
race. For example. In 1906,
when he last appealed for votes in Herki
mer and Oneida Counties (which com
prises his Congressional district), he ran
SO) behind Charles Evans Hughes, and
in that particular territory Hearst was
regarded as exceptionally strong, as for
example, in the City of Utica.
To the average common or garden var
iety of votes, Sherman is not half as
well known by name as Senator E.
Payne, the chairman of the ways and
means committee; George R. Malby, who
was Speaker of the Assembly and State
Senator; J. Sloat Fassett or John W.
Dwight, all active figures up state, and
all in Congress.
Sherman Little Known.
Any man you meet who takes an In
terest in politics will tell you that Peter
A. Porter, "running under the emblem of
a. cow," defeated the veteran James W.
Wadsworth. They may show a lively
Interest in this incident, either for or
against the cow, but you will not be able
to arouse any enthusiasm over Sherman.
The reason Is that they do not know
where he comes from or who he Is. The
Congressmen mentioned above are men
who are leaders in the'r various sections.
Sherman's strength Is due to the boss ot
his home county. So far as dictating the
policies of Utica County goes, Sherman
stands in the same position as did Bourke
Cockran toward Tammany Hall and
Murphy has jURt kicked the Honorable
Bourke out of the organization.
Two men are responsible for Sherman
being placed upon the ticket. One is
State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff,
and the other is the Honorable Joseph
G. Cannon, Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. In the recent convention at
Chicago both almost shed tears when
they told the assembled delegates about
their love for the Honorable Jim Sher
man. What they said may be true, but
each of these politicians is glad for his
own sake to see Sherman promoted.
Reasons of Mr. Woodruff.
Mr. Woodruff is anxious to secure the
seat in the United States Senate at pres
ent occupied by the Honorable Thomas
Collier Piatt. Up to the time of the con
vention up-state Republicans insisted that
they be allowed to fill the vacancy be
cause no honors had come their way In
a generation. They had the logic on
their side and it seemed to be a political
black-eye for Woodruff.
The real leaders were not tied down to
any particular candidate but they seemed
-"sot" on having the prize for their par
ticular section.
But with a Vice-President from up
state, what right would the farmers have
to claim the Senator also? This was
the way Woodruff looked at it. He would
have enjoyed being Vice-President him
self, and, in fact, took several tons of
literature with him to Chicago. But the
mention of his ambition evoked wild cries
from delegations of other states, and the
Woodruff boom died quietly. Then It
was that Sherman loomed to the front.
"Uncle Joe's" Real Motives.
The appearance of Speaker Cannon in
the convention to second the nomination of
his "friend and colleague, James S. Sher
man," was a dramatic spectacle. The
story of how he was brought to do It is
also dramatic, although it has not at
tained wide publicity as yet. A member
of the New York delegation "hooked
Cannon." He asked him how Illinois
meant to vote on the ballot for Vice
President, and Cannon said he didn't
know. From surface indications he didn't
seem to care. Then the New Yorker got
down to business.
He told the Speaker, in diplomatic lan-
g-uage. that the Empire State would be
grievously hurt unless it had a place on
the National ticket. Should that be re
fused them, they would probably pout
until concessions had been made. Of
course the New York sentiment was In
favor of Cannon's re-election as Speaker,
but circumstances might arise (and there
was an accent on the might) where New
York's claims would be conceded for the
sake of harmony.
Cannon Easily Convinced.
Sherman was a candidate for Speaker
against Cannon some years ago, but he
did not have the White House backing at
that time, and withdrew from the race.
Perhaps Cannon thought of that, and per
haps he did not. Anyway he chewed his
cigar for a few minutes in silence. Then
he suddenly turned to the New Yorker.
"So you are going to nominate my
friend Sherman for Vice-President?" he
asked, breathless with joy. "Dear old
Jim! Illinois is with you from the drop
of the hat. And I'll second the nomina
tion myself. It will be a pleasure."
With New York clamoring for Sherman
and Illinois pining for him, is it a wonder
that the Utica Congressman landed on the
ticket? And thus a candidate for United
States Senator and a candidate for
Speaker were disposed of at one fell
swoop. But the time Woodruff had in in
ducing the Empire State delegation to line
-p for Sherman! It speaks volumes for
tittle Tim's diplomacy that he accom
plished the feat after all. .
HOW ROAD REORGANIZED
Northern Pacific Official Tells Prof
its of Syndicate.
ST. PAUL. June 25. Today's session
of the Northern Pacific rate hearing be
fore Charles IS. Otis, supreme master In
chancery, was marked by the introduc
01
tion of testimony tending to show the
issue, distribution and amount of capital
stock; the purchase by the company of
the old St. Paul & Duluth Road and the
organization of the Northwestern Im
provement Company, a subsidiary cor
poration. H. A. Gray, controller of the road, tes
tified that, under the plaii of reorgan
ization of the Northern Pacific Company
in 1896, a syndicate had been formed to
finance and carry out the reorganization
agreement. This syndicate received $77,
500.000 Qf common stock; $18,000,000 pre
ferred stock; some bonds, the present
market value of which is $S,5S3.6G9. and
$10,873,840 in cash from the old stock
holders. The syndicate delivered to the
old stockholders in return $88,000,000
worth of common stock and $17,000,000 of
preferred stoek, while the reorganization
committee received $19,873,380 In pre
ferred stock. The balance of the preferred
stock, $57,000,000 in amount, was given
in return for bonds.
JUST LET CASTRO ALONE
NO FURTHER ACTION" BEVOXD
RECALL OP SLEEPER.
Consular Officers Will Remain in
Venezuelan Cities Unless Dic
tator More Aggressive.
WASHINGTON, June 25. The Ameri
can Government Is not looking for any
further trouble In Venezuela, and the re
call of Jacob Sleeper, Charge d'Affairs,
and Lieutenant Ruggles, of the Leagtion
at Caracas, apparently ends the diplo
matic incident except so far as President
Castro Tnay add to the complication by
some official action.
Almost a dozen consulnr officers and
agents of the American Government are
stationed In the several Venezuelan (cities
and it is understood that there is no in
tention on the part of the Government to
recall them, as they are attending to the
Interests of American citizens and their
absence would be undesirable. These
agents have no diplomatic functions. But
if there should be sufficient reason, the
department will not hesitate to direct
them to surrender their exequaturs and
request officers of some other govern
ment to ' look after the interests of the
United States.
HORSES SAVED FROM FIRE
Blaze Destroys Stable and Damages
Paint Store.
Fire destroyed a frame stable belonging
to F. S. Dunning, undertaker, at East
Sixth and East Alder streets, last night,
and threatened the lives of four horses
that were locked up in the building. The
horses were saved by one of the attend
ants of the undertaking establishment
who discovered the blaze and telephoned
an alarm. Besides the stable, which was
completely destroyed, the fire burned
the rear of the store occupied by the
Strowbridge Paint & Hardware Company
at East Sixth street and Grand avenue,
Just in the rear of the undertaking es
tablishment. Owing to the oils and paints stored in
the rear of the paint store, the blaze
burned fiercely for about 10 minutes. The
damages were estimated at $1000. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
ashes in a barrel at the rear of the
Strowbridge store. This store and the
stable are separated by a very small
alley-way, and the barrel rested against
the walls of the wooden stable. Hay and
straw protruded from between the cracks
of the stable ana caught fire from the
burning barrel.
Accused of Passing Bad Check.
J. C. Burke,, a timber-cruiser, who said
that he has a brother on the city police
force, was arrested last night on a war
rant sworn out by Judge Cameron in
the Municipal Court charging him with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
The complainant against him is William
Prichard, manager of the Palace Meat
Market, who alleges that Burke gave
hUn a worthless check for $15 on June
20. Mr. Prichard applied to the District
Attorney's office, where a complaint was
drawn. It was also said at the District
Attorney's office that other complaints
had been registered there against Burke
on the same charge. The check was
drawn on Ashley & Rumelln, where Mr.
Prichard learned that Burke had not
had more than 40 cents on' deposit for
the past few weeks. The discovery of
this fact led him to apply for the war
rant for Burke's arrest. Burke was re
leased on $250 bail, which was furnished
by his son, Elmer C. Burke, 21 years old,
a stenographer, and W. A. Kelly, an
employe of the American Laundry.
Teamster Hurt in Collision.
In a streetcar accident yesterday after
noon at Nineteenth and Washington
streets George Woellner, a teamster, was
knocked from his seat .to the ground and
painfully cut about the head. He was
removed to the Good Samaritan Hospital.
W'oellner, who Is a driver for the Gam
brlnus Brewery, was turning the cor
ner gour from Washington street into
Nineteenth street when the accident oc
curred. The car westbound came up be
hind him and struck the rear end of
the brewery wagon with considerable
force.
Costly Box of Cherries.
"That was an expensive box of cherries
for me," said Max Meyer yesterday even
ing, as he laid down a $5 bill on the po
lice station desk as hts bail to guarantee
his appearance this morning In the Mu
nicipal Court. He had been arrested with
M. Sperock, another hawker, for over
staying the five minutes allowed them
under the city 'ordinance at the corner of
Third and Burnside streets, where they
were vending fruit. "It was my last
box and I wanted to clean out the load.
I suppose my fine will be about $5. I
am sorry I did not give the last box away
and go home satl&lled. It would have
been cheaper."
SOME EXCEPTIONAL VERSE
Poets, with and without National
reputations, contribute some excellent
verse, to the July Sunset. "The Master'
of Magnificence," by Herman Schef
fauer; "Lines On a Loving-Cup," by
Charles Warren Stoddard; "The Irrec
oncilable," by Jacob Brown; "To a Se
quoia Forest," by Clarence Urmy; "In
vitation," by Mabel Potter Pitts; "As
Through a Glass Darkly," by Mlra Ab
bott Maclay; and "Poco Tiempo," by
Thomas Grant Springer, are some of
the poets and their offerings that tend
to make the July Sunset an exceptional
number.

TUFT WITNESSES
YALE'S DEFEAT
But Rejoices Harvard Wins
Boat Race, as Yale
Cannot.
CHEERED BY BOTH SIDES
Observation Train on Course Re
t sounds With Echoes of the Sec
retary's Popularity College
Men Vie in Yells for Him.
NEW HAVEN. Conn., June 25. Secre
tary Taft today sustained his first de
feat since his nomination at Chicago. He
witnessed from the observation train the
loss of Yale's aquatic prestige on the
Thames at New London and the besting
of the blue by the crimson. After the
Yale, crew had stopped at the end of the
third mile, the Secretary remarked re
signedly: "It always appears to be my luck to
witness the defeats of Yale. In 17 years
we have been defeated but twice or
something like that, and I have seen both
of them."
As the Secretary greeted Bob Wrenn,
the tennis champion, and noted Harvard
man, after the race, he shook hands cor
dially and remarked;
"Well. Bob. inasmuch as Yale could
not win today I am glad that Harvard
did."
No other comment was made by the
Secretary on the boat race. He was dis
appointed, extremely disappointed, and
Mrs. Taft was correspondingly depressed.
Talks Aquatics and Politics.
Twenty-nine members of the class of
1S7S. accompanied by their wives and
children, made the trip from New Haven
to New London in a special car and
occupied a special car on the observa
tion train, from which they followed
every inch of the American classic In
aquatics. The train left New Haven
at 3 o'clock and arrived in New London
at 3:05. Throughout the trip Mr. Taft
spent the time in chatting with friends.
He had a talk with Charles F. Brooker,
Republican National committeeman, of
Connecticut, respecting the details of the
campaign.
As the train was pulling into New Lon
don, George Palmer, ai prominent man of
that city and a member of the class of
'78. invited the party to visit his resi
dence on the outskirts of the city before
the race. Mr. and Mrs. Taft and Master
Charlie Taft were taken to Mr. Palmer's
residence in an automobile. Both at the
station and along the ocean drive of sev
eral miles the Secretary was given aj
cordial greeting.
Given Yale and Harvard Yells.
On the observation train Mr. and Mrs.
Taft and the party of the class ot '78
occupied car No. 74, Judge M. C. Hollis
ter, of Cincinnati, acting as Yale yell
leader, assisted by. Judge Henry How
land of New York. They sang "Bingo"
and "Everybody takes his hat off to
Taft" with a vim, and led the yelling
for Yale on the entire train. On car
No. 8 was a Harvard contingent, led by
Bob Wrenn. The boys gave a Harvard
yell with three times three for Taft,
which the Secretary acknowledged by
lifting his hat. Instantly the class of
'78 of Yale cheered Harvard under the
leadership of Judge Howland.
On his return to New Haven at 8:55
the Secretary and Mrs. Taft were driven
directly tq the residence of W. W. Far
nam. They will leave tomorrow shortly
after 9 o'clock for New York. Mrs. Taft
and Master Charlie will go directly to
Washington. The Secretary will meet
some friends tomorrow at the Manhattan
Hotel and will visit the President at
Oyster Bay, going to Washington Sat
urday night.
ENDS LIFE WHEN DESERTED
Portland "Woman Takes Poison Be
cause HUsband Leaves Her.
OGDBN, Utah, June 25. With her
mouth burned horribly from the effects
of two ounces of carbolic acid and two
ounces of chloroform, which had been
taken with suicidal intent, the lifeless
body of Mrs. H. L. Cress, formerly of
Portland, Or., was found lying on her bed
In room No. 3 at the Broom Hotel at ten
o'clock last night.
From a badly crumpled letter found
nearby, it is evident the cause of the
rash deed was the desertion of her hus
band who registered at the hotel with
her Tuesday. On the dresser near the
head of the bed a sealed letter was found,
addressed to her father. James Buck,
267 East Thirty-seventh street, Portland,
Or., On a leaf of paper was legibly
written, . "Wire my people in Portland,
Or. James Buck. 2G7 East Thirty-seventh
street."
Her husband is supposed to have left
her Tuesday night, and the letter which
he sent to her room undoubtedly caused
Mrs. Cress to end her life. It was as
follows:
"Molly, you wire home and get yourself
a ticket, . and go to Portland and stay
there. I am too unhappy to live with -you.
When you get to Portland, you will find
a letter which explains everything plainly.
I am gone, but do that much for me.

who committed suicide in Osrden. Utah.
CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
Xew Drue, Poulnm, Xow Obtainable In
Small Quantities.
Since Its discovery one year ago. the
new drug, poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases of
eczema and other distressing skin af
flictions. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit of
eczema patients in large Jars sufficient
for a month's treatment. This was
found to be an inconvenience to many
thousands who use it for minor skin
troubles, such as pimpies, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc.,
which require but a small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and in re
sponse to urgent appeals, the dispens.
ers of poslam have been obliged to
adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package, a special fifty-cent
size, which in future may be found on
sale at the Skidmore Drug Co. and
other leading drug stores in Portland,
or may be ordered direct from the
Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West
25th Street. New York City. In all
eczema cases poslam stops Itching with
first application, and proceeds to heal
immediately; chronic cases being cured
in two weeks. In less serious skin
troubles, results are seen after an over
night application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had. free of charge, by
