THE MORNING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1908.
BORAH WILL SIT
CLOSE TO THRONE
Idaho Senator Chosen by Taft
as Spokesman for His
Administration.
SUCCEEDS TO LODGE'S JOB
Strong Personal Friendship Between
Republican Nominee and Borah
Operates to Advantage
of the Senator.
OREGOXIAN NHWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 28. Senator William B.
Borah, of Idaho, will be spokesman for
the Taft administration- in the United
States Senate. He will succeed Senator
Ixdge, of Massachusetts, who has been
the recognized "mouthpiece of President
Roosevelt" for the past seven years. In
his new role, Senator Borah will spring
to the front, and will, from and after
March 4, I'M), be a conspicuous figure in
the leading debates, especially where Na
tional affairs are involved and adminis
tration policies at stake.
There is no member of the Senate
closer to Taft than Borah; and among
Taft's numerous friends in the Senate
there is none more able to espouse the
cause of the administration than the
young Senator from Idaho, who, at the
beginning of the Taft administration, will
not yet have completed the first half
of liis first term.
There may be other Senators as close
to the new President as the Junior Sen
ator from Idaho, but it so happens that,
Dol liver alone excepted, none of these
intimate friends have the peculiar adapt
ability for the work; cut out for Borah.
Requirements Are Stringent.
To be the recognized representative of
the administration in the Senate a man
must not only be able to speak, but he
must be able to analyze issues, present
his facts logically, and by the very force
fulness of ills address carry conviction as
to the propriety of the aUitude of those
he is defending-. He must be a man of
nerve, and possessed of a cool head. He
must be able to grasp the political sig
nificance of each and every move of his
adversaries, and withal, he must be able
to so represent the administration as to
avoid giving offense to Republican col
leagues not so thoroughly in sympathy
with the powers that be.
Taft and Borah Friends.
Between Taft and Borah a very strong
and very close friendship exists; not a
spasmodic growth, but the result of con
stant association, enabling each to gain
an Insight into the true character and
manliness of the other. No man enter
tains a higher regard for Taft than
Borah, and it may be said, conversely,
that Borah has no greater admirer than
the coming President.
During the past Winter Borah and Taft
have been in consultation many, many
times. They have conferred over sub
jects personal, political,- National and lo
cal. Between them is a perfect under
standing Because of his admiration for
and confidence in the Secretary of War
Senator Borah openly declared in favor
of the nomination of Taft, and from the
day his mind was made up he worked in
cessantly to assist in bringing about the
great achievement at Chicago.
In advocating Taft Borah did not work
altogether unhampered. He was very
close to the President, and listed among
his trusted friends. He was, therefore,
besought, in. season and out, by the mis
guided friends of the President, to join
the third-term movement. But he him
self knew that Roosevelt was sincere,
so he waived aside the third-termers,
and stood loyally by Taft.
Borah Already "Inside."
That Senator Borah Is already on
the "inside" is evidenced by the fact
that he was repeatedly called In con
sultation over the platform before it
was submitted to the convention at
Chicago, and though he modestly puts
aside any credit for the document in
which Taft will make his campaign,
his friends believe that his views are
fairly reflected in many sections of
that state paper. When the convention
assembled Borah was in constant touch
with the Taft leaders, and was one of
the trusted men constantly on guard
against the "allies" and against the
threatened Roosevelt stampede.
Honors to Come Unasked.
There is no doubt but Senator Borah
chose the psychological moment for
coming to the Senate. He may not
have seen far into the future when he
made his successful race for Senator,
but opportunity certainly came his
way after he landed In Washington.
Tot his Impending honors will not
come to him at his own request; for he
would never ask to represent the ad
ministration in the Senate. He will be
chosen by the new President, because
among, the .number, he best fills the
requirements, and because he Is a man
In whom Mr. Taft has Implicit confi
dence, and for. whom he . has a most
profound admiration.
liesson Is Pointed.
The facts and incidents here related
only show the advisability of sending
the right men to the United States
Senate. In a Republican administra
tion a state ought to have Repub
lican Senators, and certainly a Repub
lican state ought to be represented
by Senators of unquestioned Repub
lican faith: not out and out Democrats;
;not "non-partisans," not men who are
Populists at heart, masquerading as
Republicans, but fooling no one, least
of . all the administration. Borah was
the right man to represent Idano; the
right man under Roosevelt, as he will
be the right man under Tart.
Northwest to Benefit.
The rise of Senator Borah, and his
close alignment with the present and
succeeding adminastrations, will not
only benefit Idaho; it will benefit the
entire Northwest, for Borah is loyal
to his section and loyal to the men of
the Northwest. Washington's Senators,
present and prospective, will be in
narmony with the Taft administra
tion, but Oregon win be left In the
cold. Jt may devolve upon Senator
Borah to look after the interests of
Oregon, while caring for the Inter
ests of his own state. Senator Bourne
and Senator Chamberlain will not be
listed as friends of the incoming ad
ministration. "

as disclosing the movement of the grain
crop this year for the reason that the
crop will fall short of that of last year.
The number of vessels in port, however,
awaiting cargoes, is proportionately the
same as for the same date a year ago.
The following table shows unmistakably
the 31ferencA.i EffiJUSiUYa XAia ahlp-

the combined ports on Puget Sound:

Six large exporting firms are inter

by their orders that 46 of the fleet of
61 vessels have been ordered to come to
Portland for their cargoes.
Road Will Divert Traffic.
Of great importance to Portland as a
grain-shipping center is the railroad Hill
will build from Adrian to Pasco and for
which the final survey Is now being com
pleted. The evident purpose of this road
is to furnish a water-grade outlet for the
enormous grain yield of Eastern Wash
ington. Only one interpretation can be placed
on the orders that have been issued by
the Northern Pacific for the installation
of 72-pound steel rails between Pullman
and Howell, a distance of 20 miles, the
latter point being at the crest of the
Kendrlck grade. It unquestionably is a
step preparatory to routing grain ship
ments from the Palouse branch points
vlA Lewiston, thence to Riparla and
Pasco, which will give the company a
water-grade route all the way to Port
land and at the same time avoid the
climb over the Cascade Mountains. This
will open the Lewiston and Nez Perce

territory to Portland and Increase the
grain shipments of this port between
6,000,000 and 6,000.000 bUBhels annually.
Follow Natural Outlet.
Additional grain producing territory
will be made tributary to this city over
the same routing when the Spokane &
Inland Electric Railroad between Moscow
and Lewiston has been completed. This
railroad construction will render avail
able to Portland, territory that is not
now reached either by the O. R. & N.
or the Hill lines. Its natural outlet is
through Lewiston and the water-grade
route to this city. -
Hill's branch line from Adrian to Pasco
cannot be constructed in time to handle
this season's grain crop and in conse
quence the greater part of the product
this year will be hauled over the moun
tains to Puget Sound. But the crop from
the Palouse branch and from the Lewis
ton and Nez Perce districts is sure to be
added to the volume that will be for
warded to this city.
The improvements that have been or
dered between Pullman and Howell and
which are considered necessary to handle
the increased traffic that will follow will
be completed before the movement of tho
grain crop begins this season.
Big Bock Under Construction.
It has been announced that the bridges
of the North Bank road across the Co
lumbia and Willamette Rivers will be
ready for the operation of trains by Au
gust 15, completing communication be
tween this city and the wheat producing
districts referred to. At the same time
work has been started on the largest
grain warehouse in the Pacific Northwest.
The dock and warehouse will be located
on land adjoining the company's termi
nal grounds in this city.
New Pilot Service Helps.
Portland's position as a shipping
point will be served further through
the consolidation of the towage and
pilotage services between this city and
the sea. This authority was con
ferred at the recent election on the
Port of Portland.
The annual survey by the Govern
ment engineers disclosed that the bar
at the mouth of the river had been
partly washed away, leaving a channel
6000 feet wide and a depth of 26 feet
at low water. This news served as
an inspiration to the friends of open
river transportation and they have al
ready inaugurated steps that will In
sure a continuation of the improve
ment work now in progress.
WIFE SLAYER CONFESSES
Brutal Murderer Owns Up to Shoot
ing Ills Spouse.
SPOKANE. Wash., June 28. (Spe
cial.) Joseph Gauvitte, whose wife
was foully assassinated Just before
dark last night in the middle of a
public street, this afternoon confessed
to the Prosecuting Attorney that he is
the assassin. At this hour (lust before
midnight) the stenographer Is trans
cribing the notes of the confession.
The murdered woman left her tem
porary home about 7 o'clock to go
downtown. On her return she alighted
from a streetcar and went sputh on
her way home. She had barely reached
College avenue when Gauvitte stepped
out from his hiding place under a tree
and, pointing the revolver straight at
her, fired twice. Both bullets struck
her and both wounds were deadly.
The woman gave a piercing scream
and fell to the ground, dying in a few
moments without uttering a word.
Gauvitte ran away.
CONDEMN SIX TO DEATH

CETTINJE. June 28. The trial of 38
prisoners charged with revolutionary
activity in connection with the discovery
of scores of bombs here last year, and
during which sensational testimony was
adduced involving Crown Prince George
of Servla in a conspiracy against Mon
tenegro, resulted in six of the accused
being condemned to death, three to .life
imprisonment and 27, including five ex
Cabinet Ministers, to terms of imprison
ment ranging from six to 20 years.

Hope for Jury Trial In Supreme
Court to Determine That He Is
Sane and Should Be Free.
POUGHKEBPSIE,' N. Y., June 28.
Harry K. Thaw will leave Poughkeepsie
tomorrow morning In the custody of Under-sheriff
John Townsend, who will pro
duce him in the Supreme Court at White
Plains in obedience to a writ of Habeas
corpus Issued Friday.
Thaw will be accompanied by his new
attorney, Charles Mauschauser, of thla
city, who will ask Judge Mills to grant
a jury trial and to order him detained in
any place other than the Matteawan Asy
lum until the question qf his sanity has
been adjudicated by a Jury.
As the question of Thaw's right to a
Jury trial was not raised in the first
habeas corpus proceedings before Justice
Morschauser, who decided that Thaw was
Insane and ordered him re-committed to
Matteawan, It leaves a new issue to be
submitted to Judge Mills. From his room
In the Poughkeepsie jail Thaw gave out
a statement In which he said:

knew from our alienists that my sanity
was perfect, and therefore made no ade

Judge Morschauser. The doctor at Mat
teawan told my lawyers and me, end told
Ur. Pilgrim the middle of April, after I
had been there ten weeks, that he and
Dr. Lamb had watched me carefully and
that they were positive that I had not
the slightest symptom of paranoia. After
what he had stated to all these gentle
men we were not prepared for the way
he testified.
"In consequence of this, although Mr.
Jerome did not prove that I was not sane,
we did not prove my sanity as thoroughly
as we shouTd have done, and my- short
testimony late the last night did not im
prove our case.
"All the doctors who have seen and ex
amined me have no doubt of my sanity
whatever, except Dr. Baker, and until the
writ was served and he visited New York
no one could be more positive than he
was that I had no delusions of any kind
and was absolutely free from paranoia.
"My counsel do not wish me to return
to Matteawan, nor do I. After the con
finement to which I have been subject,
the association with criminal lunatics
might ruin my health.
"The fact that I am well mentally and
physically after two long trials and 19
months in the Tombs and three months
at Matteawan in itself practically proves
that my condition is normal in every
way."
