VACANT CORNER
BRINGS S 1 2 Ti . Q 0
Charles K. Henry Buys Quarter-Block
From Western
Realty Company.
SITE WILL BE IMPROVED
Present Owner Has Several Plans
for Cornei' at 1'ourth and Oak
Streets Formerly Owned
by Dr. E. H. Parker.
The unimproved quarter block, lOOx
100, at the southwest corner of Fourth
Mid Oak streets, was bought Saturday
from the Western Realty Company by
Charles K. Henry, as a personal Invest
ment. A few months ago the corner was ac
quired by Joseph M. Healy from Dr.
E. H. Parker, and upon the organization
of the Western Realty Company It was
taken In as part of the holdings of that
concern, Mr. Healy being one of the
principal owners of the company.
The consideration in the sale'effected
yesterday Is $125,000 In round numbers,
there being some matters relating to
street work, taxes, etc., which are to
be assumed and adjusted by the parties
to the sale, which may make a dlfren
ence of 11000 or perhaps more in the
final computation.
Deal Is Important One.
This purchase by Mr. Henry has sig
nificance and will have marked effect In
furnishing proof of the assertion made
by individuals and newspapers, that
Portland valuations of sites for Duel
ness purposes are not only below those
In cities of similar size and importance,
but offer better opportunities.
The fact that men with the business
acumen of Theodore B. Wilcox and Mr.
Henry are among the heavy buyers
recently shows that local values are on
a sound basis.
The quarter bought by Mr. Henry
Is directly opposite the new Board of
Trade building and is vacant, with the
exception of a small frame house on
the south end of the piece, until re
cently occupied by a Japanese. This is
to be torn down at once and the whole
made ready for an improvement of a
character commensurate with the re
qulrements of the locality. The ground
is in the very midst of some of the most
Important recent structures in Port
land. The imposing Board of Trade
building Is opposite; the Commercial
Club building a block distant; the
Wells-Fargo. Couch, Rothchild and Cor
bett estate buildings within a stone's
throw.
Mr. Henry came to Portland about
25 years ago from Walla Walla and
had the foresight to buy suburban lands
in the southeast district of the East
Side, where tracts are on the city maps
today platted as Henry's addition and
first and second additions to Henry's
addition. Gradually he added to his
real estate business the handling of
' whnt has become known to the trade
as "inside" property.
Three Plans for Building.
As to the disposition of the property,
Mr. Henry has at least three proposals
' under consideration. One is a building
to be erected by himself of perhaps four
stories, for a wholesale and retail con
cern, that will lease the premises for
a long term, the purpose being to use
the first floor for a retail department
and the upper floors for storage and
wholesale business. In case this con
cern secures the premises, there will be
an Important addition made to the mer
cantile business of Portland, for it al
ready has large houses In San Francisco
and Seattle.
Another proposal is for a lease of the
ground on a long term by a concern
that would build to suit its own pur
poses, probably only on a portion of
the quarter block, but would erect a
number of stores along the Fourth
street front. This concern would build
say 60 feet along Oak street by 100
feet deep.
When Mr. Henry was asked last night
about the purchase he said these pro
posals had been brought up to him,
but that he desired to decide only after
mature consideration and could not now
announce what would be done. Of one
thing, however, he had decided, and
that is that the site would be built
upon without delay, and that contract
would be given this week to have the
site cleared of the small house and de
bris. Mr. Henry, on his return from Den
ver, a few weeks ago, made up his mind
to buy a site in the business district
and, after looking over the ground and
examining the possibilities of the few
vacant pieces available, finally de
cided upon the corner purchased yes
terday. After he had made up his mind
It took but a short time to close ne
gotiations with the former owners,
who had their price and would sell
when that was offered.
From all that could be learned last
night the building to be erected will
be started in the near future and be
ready for occupancy in record time.
The new owner of the corner has the
reputation of doing things promptly
when once he has made up his mind.
NEW GUN IS NOISELESS
DEMONSTRATION ALSO SHOWS
IT WILL SHOOT.
Inventor Reruses Witnesses Per
mission to Inspect His Gun
While in Operation.
WASHINGTON". July 2fi A New York
correspondent of the Washington Post
gives the following description of the
test of the new electric gun In that
city:
Without any sound except the patter of
bullets as they made holes through tar
gets constructed of pine boards, 100 shots
a second were discharged yesterday
morning from a noiseless and powder
less gun in the loft of the Standard Me
ter Company's factory, Flatbush.
At the demonstration, which was made
by the. Inventor of the gun. Frederick
liarwcrter, a mechanical engineer, of 2181
Bedford avenue, were several mechanical
experts, who had been especially invited
to witness the test.
No one was permitted to inspect th
gun, which was completely hidden by a
wooden inclosure constructed around it in
a corner of the loft. Not even the muz
zle of the weapon could be seen. Through
a. hole In the casement ran a funnel-
shaped hopper, into which Mr. Bangerter
dumped the steel bullets.
Before the demonstration began Mr.
Bangerter explained that his invention
does not require explosives of any kind,
and that compressed air has nothing to
do with the discharge of the bullets. The
mechanism, he explained, is simple so
simple, in fact, that any one with a bent
f ot machinery would understand it . li
once permitted to examine the gun.
Power From Electric Motor.
Power from a 7-horsepower electric mo
tor supplied the propelling force which
discharged the bullets. This power was
transmitted by a belt which ran from the
flywheel of the motor through an opening
in the casement and over another wheel
which was connected with the gun's
mechanism. 1
Xo sound except the whirl of the wheel
came from the gun inclosure when the
power, was turned on. .Mr. Bangerter
did not enter tne uttie room housing tne
weapon, for once the power is turned on
it is not necessary that any one should
be near the gun.
Into the hopper he poured the bullets,
and from the hidden muzzle of the gun
came the steel billets. There was no
explosion, no smoke, and no click of shells
being forced empty from the magazine.
The only sound that came from the gun
was the dropping of the bullets into the
funneL:
For ten seconds the bullets were fed
into the gun. The spectators, crouching
behind the wooden partition that had
been erected to protect them from re
bounding shots, saw the target, which
was about ten feet square and sixty
feet away, riddled with holes within a
Becond after the rain of steel began to
rattle on the half-inch pine boards. The
bullets were three-eighths of an inch in
diameter.
Made Short Work of Targets.
Within two seconds there was a big
gaping hole in the center of the target.
Five feet in the rear of the first target
was a second target, also constructed of
half-Inch pine, and behind that, five feet
away, was a third. Having demolished
the first obstruction the bullet tore
through the second, and when the power
was turned off, the third target was
riddled with bullets.
Mr. Bangerter explained that the test
had been highly successful. The demon
stration yesterday was made with the
second gun, constructed by Mr. Banger
ter. The first discharged small shot.
Mr. Bangerter, who is 35 years old, and
a native of Switzerland, was encouraged
to continue his studies for a noiseless,
powderless gun by Dr. William H. Marsh,
of Flatbush, whose tragic death from
rabies six weeks ago Is still remembered.
Dr. Marsh was the president of the Stan
dard Meter Company. After the success
of the first gun. Dr. Marsh became finan
cially Interested in the second. If the
gun ever brings a fortune to its inventor
10 per cent, of the money will go to the
family of Dr. Marsh.
"I have no intention of taking out pa
tents on the gun or placing it on the
market," Mr. Bangerter said. "I realize
that it would be too deadly a weapon to
place within the reach of every one.
"After the gun for the 0.6-inch bullet
is completed I shall open negotiations for
its sale. Of course, the United States'
shall have the first chance. I have at
ready received an offer from an English
syndicate. They want me to construct
a gun that will come up to the British
government requirements that the bullets
penetrate a pine board one inch in thick
ness at a distance of 300 yards.
"The gun which I shall build next will
do all this and be capable of discharging
600 shots a second or 30,000 a minute. To
drive this gun 130 horsepower will be nec
essary. By the time the new gun is com
pleted I will have ready a specially con
structed auto truck on wnich the weapon
will be mounted.
"Unless the power broke fiown it would
be impossible for the enemy to capture
one of these guns, whlcn are so simple
that they can be mounted on a swivel
and swung to any point of the compass.
Two men, one operating the engine sup-
plying the power and the other directing
the gun, could stand on loo.oou men.
MEN ARE NOT REBELS
WESTERN" FEDERATION" TO AID
MEXICAN'S IN" PRISON".
Miners' Organization Declares Men
Arrested as Conspirators Were
Organizing Miners' Unions.
DENVER. Colo., July 26. Aid' will be
rendered the four Mexicans under arrest
at Los Angeles, Cal., charged with inclt
ing rebellion In Mexico, by the Western
Federation of Miners. This afternoon the
convention of that organization In
structed its locals to send cash subscrip
tions to the Bisbee, Ariz., miners local
union to be used as a defense fund for
the Mexicans. The Bisbee union is made
the committee to handle the fund. The
best legal talent available will be fur-
nished for the defense of the men. It is
alleged that the accused men were simply
organizing Mexican labor unions and not
inciting rebellion.
The executive board was instructed to
start a vigorous campaign for member
ship in every mining camp under its jur
isdiction, the campaign to include the
small camps as well as the larger ones,
Special instructions were given regarding
the mines, smelters and mills in Colorado.
The prosecution of its officers and mem
bers having been ended, the organization
will turn its attention to a constructive
policy.
One new district, to be known as Alas
ka district, was created. This gives a to
tal of eight districts and increases the
executive board to eleven members. The
question of organizing other unions than
those of miners, smeltermen and millmen
in camps where no other labor union Is
presented was under discussion when
the convention adjourned.
HANL0N AND MURPHY DRAW
Hanlon in Old Form, but Murphy
Game and Aggressive.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 36. Eddie
Hanlon and Johnny Murphy fought a
ten-round draw last night at Colma.
The fight was a fast ope and Hanlon
made good his assertion that he had
returned to his old form. He forced
the fighting and probably had a light
shade the better.
Murphy was game and aggressive,
however, and any other decision than a
draw would probably have been unfair.
Murphy was best at long-range fight
ing, while Hanlon did his best work at
in-lighting.

.HOLIDAY ATTIRE
Dressed in Flags and Bunting
for Taft's Notifica
tion Day.
CANDIDATE REACHES HOME
Many Demand Handshake on Jour
ney Through Ohio Southern
Democratic Governors Send
Messages ot Good Will.
CINCINNATI, O.. July 26. "Notifica
tion day" seemed suddenly to become a
realization in this city upon the arrival
or William Howard Taft. The work
of planning and of general preparation
for the event has been going steadily for
ward for some time, but it took the pres
ence ot the candidate to exhilarate the
city by the unfurling of the flags, the
draping of bunting and the general breezi-
ness of the holiday atmosphere, all of
which Is to culminate Tuesday in official
functions.
The reception of Mr. Taft as he stepped
from the train which had brought him
from New York could not have been more
simple. It had been purposely planned to
avoid any suggestion of function. Charles
P. Taft and one or two old friends were
at the station to greet the candidate. A
crowd stood back of the station gate and
could not resist a modest demonstration
of approval, and a few friendly expres
sions were snouted nere and mere as tne
two brothers made their way to a car
riage.
All Ready for Notification.
During the drive to C. P. Taft's resi
dence on Pike street, a glimpse of the
holiday attire of the city was had, and
when the old colonial horse was readied
there were decided evidences of the com
ing event. Two large temporary porches
just being completed on either side of the
pillared entrance showed the necessity for
providing for the notification committee
and the local reception and arrangements
committees.
Directly in the center of the stone
steps protruded a speakers' platform
which looked out on the right and left to
the spacious , lawns where standing room
for 1500 persons will be eagerly sought
Tuesday and perhaps many times during
the coming campaign. On the south lawn
Is a sleek new flagpole, on which is
mounted a gilded eagle, erected to bear
the flag which Mr. Taft's enthusiastic
Filipino friends have sent to be raised
daily during the campaign. When it is
raised for the first time Tuesday morning
amid a general salute of guns and
whistles, it is to be the occasion of a.
brief address of acceptance by'C P. Taft.
This flag-raising begins the ceremonies
for the day.
Enthusiasm for Taft.
After his arrival today Mr. Taft spent
the afternoon and evening quietly at the
home of his brother. He received few
callers and gave himself to rest and read
ing and the society of his Immediate fam
ily. The trip from New York was without
important incident. Here and there knowl
edge that Mr. laft was aboard as his
train would draw into a station resulted
in cheers and a demand for handshaking
and for a speech. This was so at Erie
just at daybreak and the crowd was dis
appointed. At Springfield the populace
fared better and many men climbed over
the car platform and were cordially greet
ed for their effort. ' At other places Mr.
Taft bowed through the car window and
smiled his appreciation of the enthusiasm.
Good Will From Democrats.
In its enthusiasm for Mr. Taft and for
Cincinnati the local arrangements com
mittee sent invitations to be present to
the many state Governors, and the selec
tion included both Republican and Demo
cratic governors. Among the answers
was one from Governor Comer, of Ala
bama, who said he would not be able to
be present, but added:
"But mark you, I want to see Mr. Bry
an elected, but with the least possible
damage to Mr. Taft, as we like him."
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, said:
"I regret that I cannot be with you,
as it would give me pleasure as a citizen,
but not as a politician, to show any re
spect I could to Judge Taft, as I have a
very high opinion of his qualifications."
A reply received to an invitation sent to
Senator Foraker and signed by 8. C.
Chenoweth, said that "on account of the
Senator's absence from the state it will
not be possible for him to be present."
IT NESRO VOTE
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR MAY
HELP DEMOCRATS.
Bryan Managers Plan to Use It in
Doubtful States. Where Colored
A'ote Is Large, Notably Ohio.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 26. It is impossible at this
early day to determine just where trie
negro vote will land in November. In
years past the negroes have very gener
ally supported the Republican ticket, but
the Brownsville incident promises to have
some, effect upon the colored vote this
Fall, and the Democrats contemplate using
that question in doubtful states where
there Is a material negro element, espe
cially in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
At one time, when Foraker was bitterly
attacking Taft and making all manner of
threats against him, the negro question
promised to be a vital issue, but after
Taft was nominated. Mr. Foraker prompt
ly announced that he would support him,
and forthwith the Brownsville issue was
heavily discounted. Many negroes who
looked upon Foraker with utmost admira
tion, quickly declared that If Foraker was
for Taft. they would support him also.
Others who had felt unkindly towards the
late Secretary of War, looked over the
situation, and concluded that they could
expect nothing from the Democratic party,
as the Democrats would be very likely
to turn upon them, once Roosevelt was
out of the White House.
Negro Leaders Interviewed.
Within the past week a number of prom
inent negro leaders have been interviewed
upon Taft and the Brownsville affair, and
from the statements quoted below It would
seem that many, at least, of the negro
voters Intend to support the Republican
George W. Lee, of this city,
while not a voter, is in touch with his
people. He said:
"The negro had better give the Republi
can party another chance as the only
party that promises him anything. I be
lieve the Brownsville affair will cost the
party many votes, unless it can give him
some assurance of a favorabje settlement.
I shall cast my destiny with the G. O. P.
once more, trusting it will redeem itself
from any error that it has made."
Over in Philadlphia Bishop L. J. Coppin.
another influential colored man, expressed
this view:
"The conserv ative leadrs among our peo
ple do not hold the Secretary of War re-
oiviiaiuia i v" i i.iiiw. . . . . . u v. j . - . .j . ...... .
affair, and they will advocate the elec- J
tion of Mr. Taft to give him an opportu
nity to act in the interest of fair play
and equal justice for all, as expressed in
the Republican platform. Mr. Bryan and
his party do not want and do not deserve
our support."
Atlanta Bishop Talks. (
From Atlanta. Ga.. comes the following
statement of Bishop H. M. Turner, a
negro:
"A large portion of the colored people
will vote and support Mr. Taft for party
sake. But more will not vote at all. and
others will vote for Bryan. The contest
between Taft and Bryan will be close.
Thousands of colored voters are indignant
over the disfranchisemeni of the negro by
whole states."
A much more radical view is taken by
J. Milton Waldron. president of the Na
tional Negro American Political League,
who resides in Washington. Dr. Wal
dron, also a minister, recently telegraphed
Bryan giving assurance that he would re
ceive 6 per cent of the negro vote of the
country. This assurance is discounted,
however, because practically all the mem
bers of the organization of which Waldron
is president reside in V ashington city.
and have-no vote, and this association has
no branches extending out over the coun
try.
Bishop Waldron was one of the hot
headed negroes who undertook to bull
doze the Senate last session into voting
with Foraker on the Brownsville matter.
The bishop says he is "sore" because he
feels that every "intelllgnt, self-respect
ing negro knows that he will be read out
of the Republican party if Mr. Roosevelt's
policy triumphs next November and Mr.
Taft is elected."
His View Not General.
How many negroes are willing to join
Bishop Waldron In jumping Into the hos
tile Democracy is yet to be demonstrated.
Bishop Waldron's view does not entirely
coincide with that of his fellow bishops
in other cities.
Aside from the views of colored church
men is the view -of Booker T. Washington
who stands at the head of his race, and is
more influential than the biggest church
man. He appeals to a different class,
and to a great many of that better class,
who, however, are themselves in the min
ority. Booker Washington up to the pres
ent writing, is -on the best of terms with
President Roosevelt, and has failed to find
sufficient excuse to justify him in chang
ing his political faith. When Washington
bolts it will be time to look for a general
stampede.
Meanwhile both parties are playing for
the colored vote, and there is little doubt
that the Democrats will get a larger num
ber this year than in any previous cam
palgn. AUSTRIAN SHOOTS HIMSELF
THEN DECLARES HE WAS VIC
TIM OF HOLD-UP.
Police Discredit Story of Frank
Linck, Who Dies Later at Good
Samaritan Hospital.
Frank Linck, an Austrian, shot hlm
self yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock
on the steps leading up to Portland
Heights, at the head of Porter street,
and died at 1:30 o'clock this morning
at the Good Samaritan Hospital. The
bullet entered in the region of the
heart and for three hours the man
moved from place to place with his
life's blood- ebbing away. Finally he
staggered to the grocery store of W.
H. Smith, 275 Hooker street, and asked
for aid. He was removed to the Good
Samaritan Hospital.
At the hospital Linck, who had first
refused to give his name, declared -that
he was the victim of robbers; having
been held upon the' Third-street carllne
by a man whom he had never seen be
fore. He said that he had $150 at the
time.
No credit is put in this story by the
police, who believe that he tells it be
cause of shame for attempting to take
his own life. Linck had a watch and 3
in his pockets when taken to the hospital
and it is believed this is all the money
he possessed.
Linck was first seen by two little girls
about 2 o'clock, sitting on the steps.
He did not speak to them, but sat as one
depressed, with his head resting on his
hands. About this time B. O. Sawyer,
who lives at 763 Third street, heard what
he thought was a muffled report of a
firearm. He walked about in the neigh
borhood a little, but not discovering any
thing, dismissed the subject from his
mind. At 3:30 o'clock, as he passed down
Third street, he saw Linck lying on the
grass in front of 730 Third street. The
man looked as though he might be
drunk and. beyond opening his eyes and
looking at Sawyer, made no sign.
- R. Huffsmith, of 211 Porter street
passed him still lying there at 3:45
o clock. At 5 o clock Linck staggered to
bmith s grocery, store and sat down de
jectedy in front of the door. He re
fused to tell what was the matter with
him or what his name was. but said that
he would allow himself to be taken to
hospital.
Patrolman Lytle went to the scene and
In response to his questions Linck could
do nothing but maintain a sullen silence.
He was removed to the Good Samaritan
Hospital, where he afterwards regained
consciousness.
The police made a search of the neigh
borhood in which the shooting is sup
posed to have taken place, but could find
no trace of the weapon. It is thought
that Llnek threw it Into the brush on
the Heights and that, it will be found
later.

California and the Territory of Alaska',
compelling ship-owners to employ mem
bers of their union.
The complaint also recites that
threats of physical force have been
made. It is stated that on Tuesday
strikers boarded the steamship Jeffer
son and assaulted nonunion men who
were at work stowing cargo. Threats
to kill were made. The same thing
happened aboard the Santa Clara and
both boay were forced to sail without
full cargoes.
The companies say they complained
to the Chief of Police and were refused
protection. The Chief, however, denies
this. The hearing on making the In
junction permanent was set for August
3. Union men say they will avoid servsice
of the court's order by keeping officers of
the union out of the city.

testified that dummy names were used
The charges involved ex-Governor Toole,
Attorney-General Galen and others. F.
H. Prodger asserted on the stand that
Superintendent McCrea of the Northwest

the reason certain patents had been held
up was because the members of the State
Board could not agree on a division of
the boodle; that Governor Toole insisted
"on having twice as much as any other
member."
When Mr. Toole wished to take the
stand, attorneys for the complainants
objected on the ground that to permit
such testimony would grant immunity to
any person so testifying. On behalf of
the Governor himself and the other mem
bers of the Board, the Attorney-General
waived such immunity,
Mr. Toole emphatically denied the
charges made by Prodger as did Mr.
Galen, Secretary of State Yoder and Su
perintendent Harmon. Mr. McCrea also
denied having made any such. remark to
Prodger. The investigation will be con
tinued and Governor Norris insists he will
