4 THE MORNING OREGONIANV THURSDAY. JULY- 30, "1903. E CAKE IF 1 That Is Announced as New Programme of Fulton Taft Forces. CAKE GOES TO'SEE BOURNE National Committeeman Williams Has Declared Open Hostility to Present State Chairman and , May Ask Him to Withdraw. Should W. M. Cake hold fast to the chairmanship of the Republican State Central Committee of Oregon, his head ship of the Republican party In this state will be ignored by the Taft and Fulton forces and by Ralph E. Williams, National committeeman for Oregon. Cake is now en route to Boston, where he will meet Senator Bourne, having set out thither last Saturday evening, after arriving from Colorado Springs in the morning. In response to a call from Bourne to retrace his steps. National Committeeman Williams has openly declared his hostility toward the Cake stewardship of Republican politics in Oregon, and is expected to make upon him a formal call to with draw. This Cake could do or refuse to do. at his option, and there could be no effective means of ousting him from the lead of the state committee, until the next meeting of the commit tee, which meets in September, and even then it Is doubtful whether he could be deposed. However, the Fulton-Taft men think they can make things very uncomfortable for Cake, and this they propose, to do. Bourne-Chaniberlaln Alliance. Cake is allied with Bourne and Chamberlain in their united effort to control the next legislative session, choose the President and Speaker, and elect Chamberlain, a Democrat, United Htates Senator. How, then, ask the Taft and the P'ulton men, it Cake is striving for election of a Democratic Benator. can he lead the Republican party and why should he. be its chair man? It will be seen that the two factions striving for mastery are the Bourne Chamberlain and the Fulton-Taft. Cake Is allied with the Bourne-inamberlciln. Kach element wants control of the party machinery and also of the Legis lature. Bourne wants Cake to hold fast to. the chairmanship and work for Chamberlain's election as Senator hence the hurry-up call to Boston. The National Republican Committee and Fulton want Ralph Williams to head the Taft campaign, hence they will ig- nore Cake. Kach Faction Has Candidate. In the . legislature each faction will have its own candidates for President and Speaker. Bourne and Chamberlain want Tom Kay, of Salem, for President, and A. W. Orton, of Portland, for Speaker. Chamberlain is lining up the Democrats as his share of the deal for Kay and Or ton. In return they are to elect him I'nlted States Senator. This will be known as the 'Statement No. 1" ticket. The opposition, anti-Statement, com monly called the Fulton-Taft forces, ap parently have centered on Jay Bower man, of Condon, for President, and C. N. McArthur. of Portland, for Speaker. Both are anti-Chamberlain, anti-Statement No. 1 Legislators. As sinews for the Bourne-Chamber-' lain campaign for control. of the Legis lature, Bourne has sent a sum of money to his local managers Thomas McCus ker, A. W. Orton and W. E. Williamson commonly reported at $1000. Last week Orton took a flight over Western Oregon to examine the political ground, and returned expressing himself satis fied. One of the places he visited was Salem, where Representative Hal Pat ton assured him of the support of three or four of his Marlon County colleague for Speaker, in return for the Bourne support of Senator Kay for President. Whether Patton can deliver the goods is a question in dispute In Salem, but Vatton. with his well-known enthusi asm, seems to have left a deep impres sion on Orton. . Bourne Will Make Survey. In Eastern Oregon the next Bourne survey Is to be made, in charge of W. J. Snodgrass, of La Grande, a well known Bourne stalwart. The same swapping with Democrats for Kay and Orton is to take place in that part of the state. All this dealing between Bourne, Statement No. 1 Republicans and Dem ocrats for election of a Democratic United States Senator and Cake's par ticipation in the sweep for Chamber lain, has antagonized the National com mittee and Taft. For this reason. If for none other, the National commit tee and Taft are unwilling to let Cake manage the Taft campaign in this state. At the Colorado Springs conference Cake was coldly received by the Repub lican state and National leaders and in formed that he would get no funds from the National committee for the campaign in Oregon. On the other hand. Commit teeman Williams was assured that If he would take charge of the Taft campaign or if Cake should be ousted, there would be a supply of fund forthcoming. In order to ascertain if Williams would dis burse a part of that money through Cake, Cake caused emissaries to Inter view Williams. They got no satisfaction, however, for Williams told them flatly, "Nary a cent." The Taft distrust of Cake goes back to the alliance between the Cake brothers and Bourne's1 hostility to Taft and his prediction that Bryan would win If Taft were nominated.

Le Rone, Fellow Worker, Shocked by Live Wire, Is Taken From Perilous Position in Air. At Seventh and Burnside streets, a point several blocks from the scene of Tuesday's fire and the big crowds, one of the most thrilling features of the disaster occurred. ' A lineman hung suspended In midair upon a live wire, in view of many persons, and was finally rescued at the risk of the lives of his rescuers. His clothing was partly burned from his body, and his cries for aid were plainly heard in the din and commotion of clanging cars, chugging automobiles and shouting men. For 10 minutes he hung imprisoned on the wire, until he was rescued by a fellow-lineman and others who volunteered. The rescue was extremely thrilling and hazardous. Leonard L. Le Rone, the lineman,, had climbed to the top of the pole and was engaged in cutting wires to aid other lineman and firemen in averting danger from overhead wires. He lost his for ting or in some other way came in contact with a live wire, for he sud denly fell back limp and apparently lifeless. He was held in his position on the wire by the buckles and straps with which he was equipped. A num ber of persons saw him hanging there and quickly a crowd gathered. As his cries of fear and 'pain became more distinct W. R. Castleman, a line man in the employ of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, ar rived. He was also cutting wires' In the burning district. He immediately secured a rope and started up the pole to the other lineman's rescue. With him were G. B. Swlnehart, of Seattle. C. M. Menzer, 141 West avenue, and a third man whose identity was withheld. Reaching the top of the pole, Castleman and the others succeeded In raising the body of Le Rone from the wire and holding it above danger until the rope could be attached to his body and the man himself lowered to the ground. By that time a large crowd had as sembled and cheers resounded as the Injured man was placed in a carriage. He was removed to St. Vincent's Hos pital, where it Is said he will recover. He Is the son of L. L. Le Rone, a weal thy citizen of Pendleton, and lives at the Ohio Hotel, Front and Madison streets. His body was badly burned and his clothing partly destroyed. Castleman, whose efforts undoubtedly savea tne lire or tne other lineman has figured conspicuously in many haz ardous undertakings. At the recent Abington building Are he performed heroic work in cutting overhead wires and averting great danger to the crowd which had gathered. Swlnehart Is guest at the Oregon Hotel and Is member of the Seattle Fixture Com pany. CALLING FOR CANDIDATES Democratic Leaders Ask Counties te Fill Up State Ticket. SEATTLE. July 29. (Special.)

The dream comes In the few seconds before the awakening, and has no relation to time or space. This is clear enough to the man who has ever been placed under an anaesthetic for a short while and found time and space eliminated. As an experi ment this writer was placed under a whiff of- chloroform by a doctor. Abso lute unconsciousness supervened. Then a return of consciousness, the questions of the universe; up through layers of consciousness, with always the feeling, "Now I have solved it" and the "no" and the "yes" alternating through cen turies of thought. And then the quizzical face of the doctor remembered after a million years. . . . "How long have I been under?" The experimenter strug gled up and saw the doctor with hU watch In hand. "Ten seconds." the doc tor said. And the dreamer had been out side time for a time that has no measure. Commemorating New York Fire. Kansas City Journal. A marble bas-relief commemorating the great fire in New York in 1835 forms a part of a building In one of the old streets of the city not far from East River water front, but it is seldom seen, as it stands In the shadow of the Third avenue ele vated line just below the track. Rosenthal's windows are money-savers. T COSTLY LIQUOR One Drink May Cause Expendi ture of $5000 by Illicit Seller; VARIOUS KINDS OF "JAGS' Jamaica' Ginger Furnishes Latest Brand Sheriffs Grow Rich on Rake-Offs and' Law Is Dead Letter. NEW YORK, July 29. To Maine the Pine Tree State-goes the record of the most expensive drinks on earth. When a noted gourmet recently spent $2000 for wines at a dinner given to 20 persons in New York it was thought that the record for high-priced libations had been broken. But in Maine a single drink and one of poor whisky at that may cost $5000. It isn't so expensive to buy as to sell, how ever, and the penalties which have been piled up by the lawmakers to be visited on the head of anyone who sells liquor read like a modern inquisition. For selling a single drink the following things could be done to the vendor: He could be Indicted on the grounds of search and seizure, common seller, nuis ance, drinking house and tippling shop: could be fined $4000 or $5000 and kept in jail for years. If that does not constitute a record price for a single drink, it is hard to discover what does. But in spite of the most rigorous pro hibition laws In the country, there is a good deal of question as to Maine's real prohibition position. That the laws are constantly evaded Is a matter of com mon knowledge. Their existence on the statute books has bred many queer inci dents in their evasion. One effect has been to bring into existence a form of in toxicatlon veculiar to Maine wnicn is commonly called the "jaky drunk." It is most frequently met in rural districts where various intoxicating "medicines' are sold, and In more decorous language is known as the Jamaica ginger jag. As the name implies, it results from copious consumption of fiery Jamaica ginger. Law's Value Doubtful. Tn Its larsrer aspects the value of Maine's prohibition law Is open to question If not as a law certainly as to tne man ner In which it has been applied. More distant states look upon Maine as the aootheosis of dryness: in that state ltsell there is much discussion of the workings of the law. Dryness loses some of its drought when viewed more closely and Maine's title as the "dryest state ever becomes a little less secure. A Maine man. Holman Day, who has observed the worKlng or tne laws i fectinir rum selling for the past 20 years, confebses. In the August number of Appleton's Magazine, that these laws have become wholly political, and have no longer a moral bearing. Summing up the whole matter, he asserts that "the folks of Maine wanted prohibi tion, but didn't want it enforced." How true this opinion is has been evidenced by the continuity with which the pro htbltion laws have been kept on the statute books, and even made more stringent, while at the same time all sorts of means of evading them were openly tolerated. Maine, for Instance, has developed rapid-transit system so remarkably rapid that It can transport a case of liquor from Boston to tne home of th thirsty Maine man in half an- hour. Numerous so-called express companies which have sprung up in various parts of the state, primarily for the- purpose of expressing liquor from Boston to Maine points whenever i it might be ordered, have now reached the point of keeping a stock of wet goods on hand. A customer ordering a case of beer, for example, is immediately supplied from the stock on hand, his order being used simply to Keep the supply up. How Law Is Evaded. In some cases to such a wonderful development was this rapid-transit carried that a man would order a sin gle drink from Boston through one of these express companies and receive i In about two . minutes. In various cities, the Appletoh article explains, the Banger plan Is followed. Under the arrangremert which takes its name from the , city which has steadfastly refused to go ary, a certain number of places are allowed by the officials to dispense liquor. Twice a year the pro prletors are arrested and fined the amount, with costs added, belnsr $110. This really amounts to nothing more than a conveniently low license. -Like all good things, however, this was car ried too far, as Mr. Day points out. "After the Bangor plan got started.' he says, "doing its snug little business an over Maine, the Sheriffs In a num ber of counties over-reached and made It a bit too snug. The charges were freely made that the rum sellers were invited Into a close corporation, only approved men being allowed to onen places. These men have declared that tney paia to officers certain sums each month, so much on a barrel of beer aie, so much on 'hard liquors.' No one ventured to explain by what right Sheriffs or their agents collected such sums. But tne fact that they were be ing collected was a matter of common knowledge, and It took the voters from two to tour years to get mad enough to euwuy lne situation. In some conn ties, with his profits from the board o prisoners, nis fees and his 'side busl ness, me snerlff cleaned u,p from io,uv, to jzo.000 a year, which pretty good for rural Maine. The sal ary oi tne Governor of the State $2000. "Androscoggin County, containing the .cviiiu largest city in the state, nomi nated and elected a Methodist minister to oe men sheriff, but strict Pi.rnr ment was so little to the taste of Anrtm scoggln, after It had been tried, that the j-uiwruuc wnen -tne min lster was renominated the county's firs political overturn In 20 years. As a mat ter of fact, the county did not want n. forcement. The voters had simply got mad because the Bangor-plan Sheriffs had "been doing too well financially.' When Androscoggin went Democratic Its saioon rorces ousted out their shops an prepared lor Dusiness. . A Typical Gin Mill. "A typical Maine saloon of the "Bangor- pian variety is worm a glance. It isn especially retiring. It makes just a little pretense at not being a saloon. In the front snop are empty cigar boxes on sneives or in cases. There Is a bar the back shop. In troublous times these back shops are barricaded by 'strong doors, a man on watcn gives the signal when officers are approaching, and he- fore they can batter through the strong door the liquors on hand are spilled down a sink. In troublous times the main stock or liquors is Kept in hides at some dls tance rrom tne saioons. or course not every stranger would recognize a cigar- box masked saloon. I have seen pronrl etors sprinkle whisky on the sidewalk In llfOflSiiS front of the place to- attract the noses of those wandering In search of a drink." In this last statement may be found the psychological basis for the saying that a i Maine man can smell a drink a mile. That prohibition has done Maine much good is Mr. Day's conclusion on that point. And yet he saye: "It is almost a waste of time to go about asking Maine men what they think of the law as a good thing for Maine. To be perfectly honest, we folks in Maine haven't made up our minds. "One thing that seems tolerably clear Is that there is no likelihood of a repeal of the Maine prohibition law In the near future. The majority of the people of the state went the law retained. They want It so much that for any political party to attempt to monkey with the laws means defeat. But as to deciding the question of prohibition Itself or whether it is a good thing for the state. L we cannot settle It here in Maine. After more than 60 years of trying we've given up the attempt to decide It. We can merely do the best that poor human na ture will let us do. The big question is just as far from being settled as it was when Noah got tired or too mucn com water, got his 'stufC' and made a fool of himself." RINTING WITHOUT LIGHT Xew Photographic Process Prom ises Important Developments. Of the many new processes whlcfi have been Invented In connection with photography during the last few years none, perhaps. Is so remarkable, or will have such far-reaching effects, as the Donisthorpe process of printing without light. The tedious waiting for hours which photographer often experiences be fore he can get a really good print from a negative, because of bad light. Is altogether abolished by this new process, says the Boston Herald, which enables one to take a print from a neg ative In a few minutes, no matter what the light may be. In fact, no light whatever Is required, and prints can be made at night Just as well ' as during the day. The inventor of the process Is-Frank W. Donisthorpe, a photography expert, who has several other discoveries to his credit. The new printing process is the result of much careful study and many experiments on . the part of Mr. Donisthorpe. and the tests to which it has been, submitted, not only by him self, but also by other Independent ex perts, proves it; in the words of one of the latter, to be the most wonderful departure li photographic methods which has yet been Introduced." The simplicity of the process, to gether with its economy, makes it great boon ' to every photographer, whether a beginner or an expert. Briefly, and without going Into too many technical details, the process is as' follows: First, the negative to be printed Is Immersed In what Is known as a hardening bath" for five minutes. It is then rinsed for two minutes, and placed In a strong dye solution for an other five minutes. And being taken out of the dye so lutlon and rinsed, the negative is laid face upward on a piece of glass, while a piece of gelatinized paper, whlcb has been soaked in water for two minutes, is laid face downward on the negative, the two being squeezed together. After a few minutes the paper can be gently pulled off, dripped for a mo ment in methylated spirits, and, after being blotted, the print will dry In frve minutes and Is finished. Immersion again for half a minute or so In the dye solution manes tne negative ready to have another print taken from It In the same manner, in fact, any number of prints can be made from a negative after one hardening bath. A MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT- How It Affected One Wife Investor in Georgia. Washington (D. C.) Post. The good people of Georgia must, be a bit old-fashioned. In some things at least, for they, still believe the marriage cere mony means what it says It means. The word "obey" has not been cut from the girl's part of the obligations, and when the young man. on hlB part, promises to "cherish" her, he is actually expected to cherish her. Through a failure to understand, this very out-of-date code, a young man of the "new thought" school came near getting himself Into difficulties a few days since. Perhaps he had voiced his opinions on matrimony a bit too early, or perhaps his prospective father-in-law subscribed to a modern newspaper and knew a few things on his own account. At any rate, while the parson was wait ing in the front room with the book In his hand the old gentleman took the bridegroom out Into the woodshed, or thereabouts. "Now, young man," he Is quoted as saying, "if you mistreat my daughter, I'll kill you. If you can't support her, she can come back home. But you can't. If you do, 1 11 run you off the place with shotgun." That was too much for the bridegroom. He "faded away" as the coyote slinks off from his prey at sunrise. Indeed, he saw a great light, too. He would have to cherish and support that girl. Just as he -was about to promise he would, or settle with the old man. It was -terribly old-fashioned In the girl's father, no doubt, and possibly little high-handed. But it probably saved the girl a good deal of urihapplness. Also it may nave discouraged the young man' new thoughts about the marriage tie be ing a very easy thing to get into and aoout as easy to get out of In a grace rui manner If one doesn't like it. Per haps the old Georgian's method cannot be recommended for general practice, but it does seem as if it might be tried on few worthless foreign counts and Dauoer princes who come to our shores looking ioi wivw to pay tneir deDtS. AMERICANS CANT COOK Our Kitchens Shown to Be Places of Wasteful Barbarity. Philadelphia Ledger. Some day a great woman reformer will arise. She will be a Susan B. Anthony or a Joan of Arc or a Florence Nightingale a woman of massive courage, mighty en ergy and splendid sense, and she will tackle In earnest the American kitchen and will smite It. and millions will rise and call her blessed. The American cannot cook. The Amer ican housekeeper does not know how to show the cook how to cook, nor how to demand a decent product from the ma terial bought and provided. The Ameri cans have nearly every fine tradition, but no tradition In cookery. The Ameri can hired cook la a person who takes up cooking just because she cannot get any thing else to do. She Is ephemeral and evanescent, and doea not stay long enough . at one post to learn anything, and if she did there would be nobody to teach her. The American kitchen is pro videdthe most humble kitchen with conveniences which our grandmothers did not dream of, and the product is a shame. There never was such a spectacle of Incapacity, wanton and sinful waste and general barbarity as la to be found in FOUR GIRLS Restored to. Health by Lydia E. Plnkham'sVegetableCom pound.

Lynn, Mass. the ordinary kitchen of respectable and comfortable Americans. Tne next most sinful nart of It. next to the filth, is the shocking waste due to the ignorance of the art of cooking. The Americans are lovely people, wno are doing pretty well in the world, but the ordinary American family with an Income of $1200 to 5000 Is an object of Just compassion.
