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.

Asked Embarrassing Question
at Hearing of Alleged
Conspirators.
MAGISTRATE SHIELDS HIM
Does Not Compel Millionaire to Tell
Whether He Did Call on Actress
, Friend at Mrs. Teal's
Apartments.
NEW YORK. July 29 Frank J. Gould j
was called to tne witness-stand by the de
fense last night at the hearing of the
charges of subornation of perjury made
against Mrs. Ben Teal and Detective
Harry Mousley on account of their al
leged efforts to procure false testimony
for use against Gould in Mrs. Gould's di
vorce suit. The attorney for the prisoners
wanted to show that Gould really had vis
ited Bessie Devoe, ' the actress, in her
apartments at the Glenmore last March,
the theory .of the defense being that if
this were a fact the testimony to that ef
fect would not be false.
Gould admitted that he knew Miss
Devoe, but did not answer the question
about visiting her apartments as Ma
gistrate Corrigan sustained the ob
jections of the prosecution, holding
that the only question rt issue was
whether Mabel McCaus.and, whom the
defendants sought to suborn, had been
at Miss Devoe's apartment and had
seen Gould there. The magistrate,
who intimated that he would hold the
prisoners for trial, will announce his
decision Friday.

LINEMAN PROVES A HERO
w.
H. CASTLEMAX SAVES MAN
FROM CERTAIN DEATH.
L. L. 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.

How Long Do Dreams Last?
London Chronicle.
How long do dreams last? 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.

One Drink May Cause Expendi

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

. 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

the ordinary kitchen of respectable and

the ordinary American family with an
Income of $1200 to 5000 Is an object of Just
