Messages from" the provinces are be ing censored, thus severing the provinces from communication with the capital. It is difficult to pass judgment as yet, the Times correspondent adds, but un doubtedly the popular feeling is that what is regarded here as the Inactivity of Great Britain and the activity of Russia prob ahly will restore the Shah's autocracy. The correspondent also says that it Is reported from Tabriz that the Governor of that city has taken refuge In the Rus sian Consulate.

The Novoe Vremya explains that the Shah up to the present time has observed the constitution (faithfully and says the dissolution of Parliament is permissible and would even be advisable. Similar views regarding non-intervention are held at the F"oreign Office, where it was explained today that the British and Russian measures against a dynastic upheaval were not designed to interfere -with the right of the Persian people to determine the form of government they should have, but merely to prevent blood shed and the horrors of open revolution. With regard to the situation at Urumiah, it was said at the Foreign Of fice that Turkey has promised to with draw her troops from Persian points re cently occupied, though they will re main In the region which the boundary commission is now adjudicating.

BERLIN. June 26. The Lokal Anzelger today prints a dispatch from Teheran saying that among the refugees in the British Legation there Is Takizadeh of Tabriz, one of the best and most highly educated speakers of Parliament, whom the Shah desires especially to arrest. The Shah therefore has caused the Legation to be surrounded by a company of Cos sacks. Yesterday 'a patrol of Cossacks examined carefully every person who tried to leave the Legation. The British Minister, who previously had assured the Shah that the right of asylum would be granted only in cases of extreme danger to life, sent his gov ernment's protest against such surv eillance as an unprecedented insult, and demanded the withdrawal of the Cos sacks by 6 o'clock this evening.

BRYAN'S ENEMIES IN POWER (Continued From First Page.) been the basis of the tentative agree ment between Mr. Bryan and the anti Bryan element, as Indicated by the state ments which Norman E. Mack, of New York, made yesterday after he came In from Lincoln, lies at the bottom of the sudden and sensational shift in the cur rent of affairs. The real reason for the surprising stand which the "conservative" leaders have taken since 6 o'clock tonight, the sched uled hour for the arrival of Mr. Dahlman with the final tidings as to the conven tion preliminaries from Mr. Bryan, rests apparently upon the Insistence of Mr. Bryan that Theodore E. Bell, of Califor nia, shall be temporary chairman. It Is one of the assured facts that Mr. Bell will not be the temporary chairman, unless the convention follows the prece dent set at Kansas City In 1900. when David B. Hill was turned down. No ad vice will now be taken from Lincoln as to who will be the ultimate choice. The sensationalists who are now here see prospect of a complete throw-down of the Bryan programme, which may reach as far as the defeat of Mr. Bryan as the Presidential nominee.

ONLY SEVEN CONVICTIONS Condemns Sherman Law and Says Attempted Enforcement Is Infus ing Life Into Corpse Veiled Attack on Roosevelt. " CHICAGO. June 26. Congressman Charles E. ittlefield. of Maine, ad dressing lawyers and jurists at the closing session here today of the annual meet ing of the Illinois Bar Association, made a caustic criticism "of the application of the Sherman anti-trust law. He declared that the law is wrong and branded pro posed amendments as an attempt to in fuse life Into something lifeless. His peroration contained a veiled attack upon President Roosevelt. After questioning the efficiency of the anti-trust law on the ground that It was left too much to the discretion of the juries to decide as to the "reasonableness or unreasonableness of actions which must restrain trade." he endeavored to show that no similar laws with indefinite provisos ever, had been or ever could be enforced. He then accused the Commis sioner of Corporations of misstatements as to the success of such enforcements, and adcted: Scoffs at Rbosevelfs Work. "Senator Lodge in the Republican National convention said that President Roosevelt has enforced the laws as he found them on the statute books. The Republican platform congratulates it self on the enforcement of all the laws. In the light of rases I have cited to you. It would seem that proc lamation and not performance consti tutes enforcement of the law." The speaker pointed out that but seven convictions had been secured un der the Sherman law since September 14, 1901. and continued: "It may be that the predatory rich are lurking In every corner and that malefactors of great wealth abound. If this be true and the- have been go ing about "seeking whom they may devour," the extent to which the wicked have thus far gone unwhlpped of jus tice borders upon the grotesque. . Capital Provides- for Labor. "The whole subject to which con spiracles In restraint of trade relate is an equation. On the one hand you have labor and on the other capital. You hear .more of capital in associa tion with restraint or trade than you do of labor, and then again little is heard about a conspiracy tending to create a monopoly. After all. It is not a bad thrng that capital exists, that It may provide for the existence of labor." REBELS TAKE LAS VACOS (Continued From First Page.) cut the telegraph wires and tore up some' railroad tracks. However, before com munication was Interrupted word was sent to the state capital. Governor Carde nas immediately reported the raid to the Secretary of the Interior here and despatched local troops to the scene. After imprisoning the municipal officers and further terrifying the inhabitants of the town, the tendlts got word that the troops were on their way to the scene. They then prepared to flee. This morn ing they left, passing by way of Ha cienda Hornos and the town of Mata Moros de la Guna. At this place they encountered the first detachment of troops sent to capture them. A lively fight ensued, in which one trooper was killed and several wounded. The soldiers captured one of the bandits, but the remainder made their escape and are now In the wilds of the State of Durango, having crossed the border between Coahulla and that state shortly after- the battle. The captured bandit Is now in prison In the City of Terreon. '. In giving access to the official cor respondence containing the above facts to the Associated Press and comment ing upon the happenings, Vlce-Preei-dent Corral today said: "For over a score of years the Re public of Mexico has been absolutely free from bandit raids or uprisings similar to the disgraceful affair which occurred at Viesca. For that reason the " government will mete out stern measures to these criminals In order that they and the world at large may We Are Manufacturers of "Made-In-Oregon" EVERY TRUNK STAMPED WITH A "MADE - IN Trunks repaired and taken, in ex change on new pnes. 1 Phones: Main 2774 Pac. 2090 A 1C62 A 2041 A 4134 in -' t siMiiif iii" T - . j.jggj.. fsM When you spend your money be sure you get " Made - may get your money back again.

"From private information I have re ceived today I am satisfied that most of the men concerned In today's raid have spent terms in jail." Today the President called a special session of the Cabinet at which condi tions in the State of Coahuila were dis cussed at length. The attack on Las Yacos today Is separate and distinct from the affair at Viesca. The towns are more than 100 miles distant from each other and the assaults were at least 24 hours apart. WHOLE BORDER IN FERMENT Government Calls Raiders Bandits and Minimizes Their Strength. CITY OF MEXICO. June 26. Repeated efforts to obtain official confirmation of the attack on the border towns of Las Vacos by bandits have met with failure. The Secretary of the Interior refused a statement regarding the affair. Dispatches from various points In Northern Mexico show that' section to be in a state of ferment. During all last night armed men, many of them being Americans, occupied the roofs of Banco de Naeionala and the Banco de London and Mexico. The officials still charac terize, the raiders as bandits, but it is believed that they are half-criminal mal contents, whose purpose is to loot under guise of Insurrection. It is said they have secured but $2000 thus far. The government says that the raiders do not number over 60 armed men. But othep reports place the number as larger. The railroads injured by the bandits have been repaired and trains are now carry ing troops to that region. Troops have arrived in tfce city of Tor reon and will spread over the northern country to form a network for the cap ture of the marauders. Reports of im pending trouble in the State of Nuevo Lon cannot be confirmed at this hour. ABRESTS CAPTAIN SPENCER EX-CHIEF WANTS TO BE LOCKED UP, BUT IS REFUSED. Charged With Conducting Wharfin ger's Business Without License. Expresses Opinions to Chief. Captain E. W. Spencer. ex-Chief of Police of this city, was arrested in his home, 161 Broadway", last night, on a warrant sworn out by City License Col lector M. A. McEachern, charging him with conducting the business of a wharf inger at the Washington-street dock with out a license. Mr. Spencer, who owns the river steamer named after him, was very angry over his arrest. He accom panied Patrolman Van Overn peaceably to the police station but when he ar rived at the scene of his former reign he broke into forceful condemnation of his arrest. Captain Slover conveyed the Intelligence to Chief Gritzmacher, who was ensconced in the privacy of his of fice, and came out with the Information that the formality of bail would be waived in this case, and that Mr. Spen cer might go if he would promise to ap pear in the Municipal Court at 9 o'clock this morning. "No, sir, I will not appear," vocifer ated the irate ex-Chief. "My arrest is an outrage and I shall make the city pay for it and pay dearly, too. I have been falsely arrested. I merely pay $130 per month rent for the privilege of docking there and have no more to do with the dock than you have. Lock me up. 1 will refuse to appear here In the morning." This outikirst took Captain Slover some what aback and again he disappeared Into the office of his chief. Immediately Chief Gritzmacher came out In person and he received the same kind of talk that had been used to Captain Slover. "Well, we won't lock you up. It would please you too much. You may go," said Gritzmacher. And ex-Chief Spencer went, still rumbling about the injustice done him. The warrant, which was issued by the Judge of a court, was pigeonholed, and no record made of its having been served, and the prisoner dismissed in this unusual manner.

INTEREST GROWING Work of Seaside Conference Holds Delegates. YOUNG WOMEN KEEP BUSY Dr. Van Horn, of Seattle, Delivers Address on Natural Religion. Dr. Brooks, of Berkeley, One of Speakers. SEASIDE. Or.. June 26. (Special.) As the conference of the Young Wo men's Christian Association draws to a close, the Interest in the work grows stronger. Dr. Van Horn, of Seattle, gave two splendid talks at the evening sessions on "Natural Religion." He said there Is often a strained concep tion about the relations between the every-day life and the spiritual, be cause of a misconception of the real modern science of living. Dr. Van Horn returned to Seattle yesterday, much to the regret of all who had heard him. The Portland delegation meeting was addressed by Dr. Brooks, of Berkeley. These services are a unique institution, belonging very especially to conference life. They are a summing tip of the truths learned through the day and a personal application of them to her own needs by each delegate. Being small and very informal, they encourage the expression of individual opinion. Dr. Brooks voiced the thought of the con ference in saying that It was held to bring to each one present a vision of life from the mountain top. The dele gation leaders meet each evening with Miss Hays., where they talk over mat ters, make suggestions and pray for girls about -whom they are especially concerned. In Mrs. Mossman's class, which has been studying "The Challenge of the Cities." by Joslah Strcng. much interest was excited by a debate on. "Resolved. That the sin of intemperance is a greater one than the overcrowding of our cities." The negative side won. The regular order was .somewhat changed yesterday. Instead of the morn ing platform addresses in the tent separate gatherings of students were held for the consideration of practical work In the College Associations. A most in structive meeting was led by Miss Con stance MacCorkle, general secretary of the local association, on the religious work of the 'association. A splendid policy for nextVear's work was outlined and many practical suggestions made. Other gatherings were led by Mr. Laflamme. Miss Hiilman, Miss Hugglns and other leaders of the conference. The field meet that had been planned for yesterday was postponed because of showers. But that did not prevent bathing and a driving party over to the wreck above Gearhart. H. S. H. JORDAN'S PLAN IsllETOED STANFORD TRUSTEES WILL RE TAIN PREPARATORY WORK. Cannot Make Change Under Foun der's Will School Must Be Kept Near People. SAN FRANCISCO. June 26. The board of -trustees of Stanford University, at a meeting held her today, vetoed the pjan proposed by Dr. Jordan, president of the university, to make the institution purely a university and not a college, devoting Its efforts to the higher branches of edu cational work only and eliminating the preparatory work now given in the first and second 'years. Concerning this action. President Horace Davis of the trustees said that it would be impossible to make any such change at the university as the will of the late Senator Stanford, providing for the crea tion and maintenance of the institution, expressly directed that it Bhould be kept as close to the people as possible. Prefers Prison to Rockplle. Because, he would rather serve In a military prison than on the rock pile at Kelly Butte, E. F. Burke, a young man arrested at Sixth and Burnside streets last night by Patrolman Harms, con fessed that he was a deserter from the United States Army and asked that the military authorities be notified. He had been hanging about the north end of town acting In a suspicious manner for several days. When told he probably would get about 90 days on the rock pile, Burke said he would rather take his chances In a military prison and confessed his de sertion. the Famous Trunks - OREGON" STICKER Why buy Eastern-made Trunks, knocked together by pieceworkers, and shipped into Portland to be sold by clothing, department and drug stores t Don't buy trunks that are likely to wear.
