OREGONIAN NEWS BURBAf. Wash
ington. Aug. 23. The right of Nelson W.
AMrich and other corporation Senator
longer to control the United States Sen
ate, dictating Its policies and shaping
legislation. Is very likely to be ques
tioned when the 61st Congress organizes.
A revolt la threatened, and not any
petty revolt at that. The. young blood
In the present Senate is chafing under
the Aldrlch lash: there Is widespread
discontent, and during the past year
there has been much talk of overthrow
ing the Aldrlch dynasty.
This agitation bids fair to come to a
head at the beginning of the next ad
ministration, and action will follow If
the Insurgents can count enough vol
unteers . to storm the Intrenchments
which, have long shielded the corpora
tion army. Whether or not the In
surgents attack the enemy will depend
largely upon the type of new men who
enter the Senate on the 4th of March,
next.
Senate Remains Republican.
As the Senate Is now constituted there
arc SI Republicans and 31 Democrats.
It is conceded that the Senate will re
main Republican throughout the next
administration, regardless of whether
Taft or Bryan shall be elected In No
vember. The majority of 30 Is too large
to be overcome in four years, especially
when only one-third of the Senate Is
chosen every two years. Therefore, the
minority can be Ignored, und the Re
publican membership alone reckoned
with.
The Republican ranks at present are
about equally divided, the slight ad
vantage being with the Aldrlch cor
poration crowd, because they are In con
trol. But if a well-arranged revolt Is
undertaken the Republicans would di
vide about evenly, eliminating nine Sen
ators of uncertain allegiance; men likely
to flop either way, as the fight might go.
Figuring on the changes which it 13
known will take place on the 4th of
March, the Aldrlch crowd can count
26 Senators, the insurgents 26, and nine
on the fence.
These Are With Aldrlch.
In the event of a fight Aldrich could
count safely on the following Senators:
Aldrich. R. I.
Btlitio. N. J.
Burnham. X. H.
Burrow.. Mich.
Clark, Wyo.
Crane. Mm.
Cullom. 111.
Ipw. N. Y.

Kean. X. J.
Knox. Pa.
I.odK. Mas.
MeCumber. X. D.
Penrose. Pa.
Pcott. W. Va.
Stewart. Vt.
Wetmore. R. I.
These Are Insurgents.
Arrayed against this crowd would be
26 Insurgents certain to take part In re
volt if It can be demonstrated In advance
that their cause stands a good chance of
winning:
Bevertdjre. Ind.
Borah. Idaho.
Bourne, Oregon.
Brown. Neb.
Burkett. Neb.
Clapp, Minn.
Curtis. Kas.
rvlxon. Mont.
Dolliver. Ia.

La. Follette. Wis.
Nelson. Minn.
Nixon. Nev.
Pile. Wash.
Smont, Utah.
Sutherland. Utah.
Warner, Mo.
Warren. Wyo.
Flint. CaL
To equalise the forces must be added to
the insurgent list the successors to the
late Senator Allison, Iowa: to Senators
Ankeny. Washington: Hansbrough, North
Dakota; KIttredge, South JJakotay Long,
of Kansas; Piatt, of New York, and
Stephenson, of Wisconsin. Fulton, of
Oregon, if succeeded by a Democrat,
will mean the loss of one vote to tho
insurgents, but Teller, of Colorado. Dem
ocrat, will be succeeded by a Republi
can, who will probably be -of the in
surgent type. This makes the two force
evenly divided, with the following doubt
ful: Brandeiree. Conn.
Bulkiey. ronn.
Carter. Mont.
Dillingham. Vt
Guggenheim. Colo.
Perkins. Cal.
Smith. Mich.
Richardson. Del.
Successor to Piatt,
New Tork.
No Insurgent Leader as Vet.
Just now there is no organization
among the Insurgents; neither have they
a recognized leader. But plans roughly
outlined last Winter are likely to be per
fected during the coming short session,
and the three months prior to March 4
will afford plenty or opportunity for or
ganizing. Senator Beveridge wants to
lead the revolt, but he is not qualified;
he is too Impetuous; too headstrong, and
Is utterly lacking in personal magnetism;
he repels rather than attracts men.
Therefore he is not likely to be the Moses
to lead the Senate from under the iron
rule of Aldrich.
Senator La Follette also wants to lead,
but La Follette is far too radical. There

ARE READY FOR HOME RULE
Cubans Qualified for Self-Government,
According to Magoon.
HOT SPRINGS, Va., Aug. 23. Charles
E. Magoon. Provisional Governor of
Cuba, talked with Mr. Taft today re
garding conditions In Cuba.
That the people of Cuba are qualified
for self-government Is the positive as
sertion of Governor Magoon. The Cuban
people, he Indicated, are heartily In
favor of government ownership of pub
lic utilities. They now own the tele
graph lines and the test of the popular
will, which has Just been made on the
question of private concessions for tele
phone lines, he believes, has demon
strated their desire for government
ownership. The test referred to was
made at the suggestion of President
Roosevelt and consisted in the sub
mission to the 82 provinces of the draft
of a law, which, if approved and en
acted, would have resulted, according
to Governor Magoon, in the telephone
business of the island going Into the
hands of the present Havana Telephone
Company. The concession of this com
pany expires in 1910. whereupon the tele
phone lines and plant of the company
In that city will revert to the Cuban
government.
Governor Magoon left tonight for
Oyster Bay. where he will see the Presi
dent Tuesday.

Sub-Treasury Mystery
Begins to Clear.
G. W. FITZGERALD ARRESTED
Loss of $175,000 Laid to
Former Assorting Teller.
REPORTER ACTS AS SLEUTH
Traps Discharged Clerk as He Tries
to Pass Bills of Large Denomina
tion Others Said to Be Impli
cated In Clever Conspiracy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23. The mystery of
the theft of J175.000 from the United
States Sub-Treasury a year and a half
ago, one of the largest losses the Gov
ernment has ever suffered In this man
ner, is believed to have been solved
by the arrest at an early hour today
of George W. Fitzgerald.
Others are believed to have been Im
plicated in the crime, which for months
completely baffled the Government
secret service men. Fitzgerald was an
assorting teller under Assistant Treas
urer William Boldenweck. Suspicion
at the time of the theft. February 20,
1907, rested on him, but so plausible
was his story and so intense his ap
parent Interest in discovering the real
culprit that interest ceased to center
on him.
Secured Bills in Big Sums.
Much work was done on the theory
that the crime had been perpetrated by
a .colored man. Meanwhile Fitzgerald
was discharged from the Government
employ for culpable negligence in
allowing such a theft to.be consum
mated under his very eyes. The money
stolen had been used and was tied in
packages, some of which had been
marked for destruction at Washington.
Any of them would readily have passed
anywhere except for their large de
nominations. None of the bills was
under $500, and some were of $5000 and
$10,000 denominations, the $10,000 ones
predominating.
Reporter Turns Detective.
The theft created much excitement
throughout the country and Congress,
at the last session, was asked and re
fused to release Assistant Treasurer,
Boldenweck from liability, although it
was- promised that Congress would
again consider the matter at Its next
session.
Meanwhile Herbert F. Young, a
former Chicago newspaper reporter and
now head of the Young Secret Service
Agency, became interested in the case,
at first without official connection, but
later as the agent of Mr. Boldenweck.
Mr. Young's attention was directed to
Fitzgerald. The latter, upon his dis
charge from the Sub-Treasury, stated
that his whole fortune consisted of $600
in cash and a stock certificate for
$100). His wife had a $700 interest in
the estate of her mother, which was
valued at about $4000 and was in liti
gation. Suspect Begins to Speculate.
Fitzgerald, however, according to Mrs.
Young, embarked In speculation on a
scale not consistent with the size of his
reputed means. There was, however,
no ostentation in Fitzgerald's life. The
lavish display which detectives In
variably look for in tracing stolen funds
was absent. Fitzgerald bought eggs for
speculation and stored them. In July,
1907, he Inaugurated an egg deal which
ultimately. It Is stated, involved an ex
penditure of $7000 and in "March a sim
ilar deal involved him, according to Mr.
Young, to the extent of $15,000. Inci
dentally the former teller had become
the possessor, in his wife's name, of a
neat brick residence in RogersPark, a
suburb of Chicago, and valued at $S500.

FAVORS POSTAL SAVINGS
Postmaster-General Agrees Willi
Judge Taft That This Would
Be Safer System and
Reach More People.
HOT SPRINGS, Va., Aug. 23. Postmaster-General
Meyer, who is here conferring
with Judge Taft, today expressed himself ;
in an Interview on the general political ,
situation and on the Democratic proposl- ;
tionN of guaranteeing National bank de- j
posits, declaring the latter to be "ona
step farther tpward socialism."
"There are," he said, "thousands of
voters In every state who do not get out
to the polls unless they feel there is a
real necessity for them to vote. There
fore, if Interest Is not sufficiently aroused 1
and the Importance of this coming elec
tion fully appreciated, several states may
be lost by default.
First Sight Deceiving.
"In the present campaign the Demo
cratic candidate Is bringing forward a
short cut and plausible panacea against
panics, the guaranteeing of deposits In
National banks. At first sight this would
appear to be a sort of Insurance. Insur
ance, however, Is a contract whereby one
party voluntarily pays to another party a
fixed sum for Indemnity against loss and
not to exceed an agreed amount. The
guaranteeing proposition compels by law
the banks to pay unknown sums for fu
ture losses, and to an unknown amount,
and subject to an unknown risk over
which they have no control.
Puts Burden on Honest Banks.
"The Democratic platform pledges
the party to compulsory guaranteeing?
of deposits for all National banks,
where provisions are available for all
state financial institutions desiring to
use them.
"The guaranteeing of deposits by
all National banks would mean nothing
less than that the conservative and
honestly managed banks would have
to pay the debts of banks which have
been .badly and dishonestly managed.
Under this system there would be
nothing to prevent a not over-scrupulous
banking officer in the competi
tion of obtaining deposits by going
to parties and offering them six per
cent for their deposits, claiming that
they had no risks, as deposits are
guaranteed. The bank, In turn, would
have to make Investments which would
involve great risks in order to make
any money.
Would Encourage Speculation.
"If successful, this . would tend to
Increase speculation, which Is one of
the misfortunes of the present day,
with the wildcat schemes and high
finance that have been so much in
evidence wllhin the last year.
"The proposed system would result In
revolutionizing the methods of banks and
state banks and trust companies would
be forced to enter under the same ar
rangements in order to have their de
posits guaranteed, which would be an In
justice to .the National banks, as tha
stockholders In the National banks aro
subject to double liability for deposits,
which Is not true of state banks.
"The deposits In savings banks through
out the country amount to about three
and one-half billions. What greater in-'
Justice can be imagined than these de
posits, which are made by wage-earners
and Individuals of very moderate means,
should be taxed In order to pay for the
losses of mismanaged banks.
Postal Savings Banks Far Better.
"As Mr. Taft has said in his speech
of acceptance. The Republican party
prefers the postal savings banks as a
method tried, safe end known to be safe,
and as reaching many more people with
out banking facilities than the new sys
tem proposed.'
"In the postal savings banks the de
posits are guaranteed by the Government,
because the Government has received the
deposits and made Itself responsible.
They are let hack into tha channels of
trade by depositing them In the National
banks in the districts where they have
been brought to the postoffice.
"The system of guaranteeing deposits
In National banks as proposed by tha
Democratic party Is one step' farther
toward socialism."
