XORTH YAKIMA. Wash, Aug. 2.
(Special.) What with Congressman Jones
running for the United States Senator-
ship: Rev. Le Johnson contesting lor ine
ngresslonal nomination in the Third
District, and "Honest Jack-' Splawn in
training for the Governorship In me .uem
ocratic primaries. Yakima County looms
11 eonsDicuously In state pontics.
Splawn. who is a distinguished pioneer
of the Yakima Valley and an old Demo
cratic warhorse. is to be promoted by his
enthusiastic follower as the -cowboy can
didate" of the Democracy. His backers,
who are confident of his nomination in the
Democratic primaries, calculate with
equal positlveness that they have a win
ning; chance with him at the head of the
Democratic ticket, no ' matter who the
Republicans may nominate.
It is expected that as a result of the
etrenuosity in the fight for the Repub
lican gubernatorial nomination the suc
cessful candidate will be greatly weakened
by the factional divisions that have been
intensified during the long and tire
some primary campaign. The battle on
Pplawn's behalf after the nominations
have been made is to be conducted ag
gressively, according to the present in
tention of his supporters, with a great
hullaballoo for reform in the financial
administration of state affairs. Splawn
has many Republican admirers in his
home county here, who respect him for
his sturdy honesty and sterling qualities
of heart and brain.
Predict Dereat for McBrlde.
Some among these local Republicans ex
press the belief that the Democratic
"cowboy candidate-' stands an excellent
show of election in the event of McBride's
nomination; inasmuch as Splawn is rec
ognized as a strong local option man, not
in sympathy with the prohibition plank
of the Democratic state platform. It is
thought that there would be such a Re
publican vote in the state against Mc
Brlde. who has come to be recognized as
the saloon men's candidate, that it might
turn the tide of success in Splawn'a
favor.
Lee Johnson seems to have his troubles
in this, his home county, owing to the
apparent abundance of proof that he has
tied his Congressional fortunes as an east
side tall to the Ankeny Senatorial kite.
In the northern part of the valley he is
regarded as a traitor to the Jones cause;
not so much because he is running for
Congress from Yakima County as for the
reason that well-sustained proof has been
found of his underground connection with
the management of the Ankeny campaign.
On the other Tiand. his friends in the
southern part of the valley do not seem to I
count his alliance as against him. It is
questionable whether Johnson carries his
home county.
Large Vote Expected.
Early in the campaign considerable
doubt was expressed on all sides as to the
probability of getting out a respectable
vote in the primary election of September
8: at least in the farming counties of the
eastern division of the state. It was con
tended that the necessities of. harvest
would make thousands of farmers indif
ferent to the Importance of the primary
election. Within the past two weeks,
however, it has become evident from re
ports received at the Jones headquarters
that the farmers Intend to make con
siderable personal sacrifice in order to
give the new primary law a fair test. On
the other hand, the conditions of the
weather and early maturing of crops have
been such that the harvest will be very
far advanced by September 8. so that at
present not less than four-fifths of the
normal Republican vote Is expected to ap-
pear at the polls on primary election day
jn Eastern Washington.
It was not taken Into account by the
pessimists that the primary election
law is Intended to serve as a powerful
machine In compelling registration and
the exercise of the suffrage. I'nder its
provisions so many candidates have
appeared In the field that the pressure
of their personal ambitions Is felt
everywhere, and acts like converging
forces on all elements of the suffrage.
It is proving to he a case in which
every individual friend an acquaint
ance of every one of the numerous can
didates lr urged on personal grounds
to perform the duty of registering in
the precinct- where registration Is re
quired. an- in the outside precincts
tho same pressure will serve to urge
an unexpected number of voters into
the polling places.
Jones' Supporters Confident.
The executive committee of the Jones
Club are sanguine of the Congress
man's success and base their predic
tions on the results of the methods
that have been pursued. The charac
ter and motives of this committee have
never been thoroughly understood.
As a matter of fa-t, it is a voluntary
association of not to exceed two dozen
personal friends of the Congressman
who reside In his own county. These
gentlemen got together last March and
oragnized on a basis of personal con
tributions to a fund which was to
maintain headquarters in North Yak
ima and provide for the publicity needs
of the Congressman's fight. The total
contribution of the little coterie was
about 12200 and enough of this re
mains to conduct the headquarters
until the primary election is over. This
fund cover rental and office expenses,
the salaries of a secretary and stenog
rapher, and a pretty heavy outlay for
postage stamps, necessarily used in
conducting the correspondence of the
committee.
Refuses to Make Combinations.
Communication by mail has been
continued since last April with work
ing supporters of the Congressman
throughout the state and by a well
established system of advices the com
mittee haa kept in touch at all times
with the conditions of the campaign.
.After the committee had made ar
rangements for establishing headquar
ters. Congressman Jones was notified
at Washington. Gratified at the fact
that his home friends had taken up
his cause In this spirited manner, he
virtually turned over the management
of his campaign to the committee with
the two following positive injunctions:
"First Not to make any promise on
my behalf with reference to any ap-'
pointment of any kind or character.
"Second Not to make any combina
tion with any other candidate by which I
am made to promise support in consid
eration of his support."
He added: "I want to comply with
the law as well as the spirit of the
primary election statute- That has
been my position all the time, and that
is the position I desire to keep through
out the campaign, no matter what the
final result may be. All other mat
ters I am glad to leave to the com
mittee to act upon as their Judgment
dictates."
Leaves Choice to Voters.
In sunnlemental instructions, he says
"I want my friends to give out the
Idea snuarelv that I do not ask any con
vention, state or county, to indorse my
candidacy. I want that matter left en
tirelv to the' primaries."
Under these instructions the committee
proceeded to give effect to the spirit of
the direct primary law, so far as it ap
plied to the election of United States
Senator.
With due regard for the Federal Con
stitution, the Legislature of Washington
in passing the primary law, in section 37
made the filing of a pledge by Legisla
tive candidates optional: the terms of
thte pledge to require that the candidate
If elected would vote for United States
Senator for that candidate of his party
who was given the highest vote in the
primaries. The committee prepared a
platform resolution to be submitted to
the county conventions of the state. This
resolution demanded that all Republican
candidates for the Legislature file the
pledge as prescribed in section 37 of tha
law. It was circulated throughout tne
date by the committee with the result
that 25 of the 37 counties adopted it and
the state convention followed suit by
incorporating it in the state platform.
The two counties-that failed to pass the
resolution were Skamania and Wahki
akum, and It Is understood that In both
cases the neglect was unintentional. A
spirited party Interest in the enforcement
of this resolution has been stimulated and
sustained throughout the state.
WILLIAMS IS SUSPECTED
(Continued From First Page.)
day from his country place at Long Green
Valley. He talked over the telephone with
his wife at Atlantic City. Mrs. Williams
told him she would return to Baltimore
this evening. Mr. Williams persisted in
his refusal to discuss the shooting af
fair, but H. Cavendish Darrell. who is
associated with Mr. Williams in the prac
tice of law. made the following state
ment in his partner's behalf:
"Mr. Williams has been very much
annoyed by the reports that he was In
Atlantic City Wednesday night. He
was never near the place. He returned
from Europe on the Kron Prinzessin
Cecllle Tuesday. After spending a few
hours at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New
York, he came to Baltimore. He spent
Tuesday night at the Maryland Club,
and went out on Wednesday to his
country home at Long Green Valley.
His Movements AVell Known.
"I talked to him on the telephone as
late as 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
and again on Thursday morning. Mr.
Williams' movements from the time he
reached his home Wednesday until he
came to Baltimore again this morning
are known to everyone about his place,
and it is ridiculous to intimate that he
was In Atlantic City.
"Mr. Williams did not know that his
wife was at Atlantic City until he re
turned to Baltimore on Tuesday."
Two Baltimore physicians arrived
here this afternoon and are in consulta
tion with the doctors at the Atlantic
City Hospital as to whether they had
better operate at once upon Mr. Rob
erts or wait until tomorrow.
John M. Roberts, a brother of Charles
Roberts, and J. O. Norrls, of Baltimore,
to see whom Charles came here today,
gave versions of the shooting. They in
sisted there could be no explanation other
than attempted robbery. John M. Roberts
said:
Had Aot Planned to Be Alone.
There is absolutely nothing to conceal
and every statement is frankly made. My
brother came down here to see Mr. Norris
on business. Wednesday evening he In
vited all the Baltimore and Maryland
party here, including the gentlemen, to
dine with him at the Shelburn. The gen
tlemen declined the invitation, but several
of the ladies accepted. They went to the
Shelburn and dined. It was later when
my brother invited everyone to take a
chair ride on the Boardwalk, but only
Mrs. Williams cared to go, as the night
was stormy and they were tired. So my
brother and Mrs. Williams called a chair
and started. Intending to take only a
short ride. It was positively not an ar
rangement of Charlie and Mrs. Williams
to go out alone. They were alone only
by the chance fact that the rest who had
been to dinner did not care to take the
ride."
Mrs. Roberts, wife of the victim, ar
rived here last night, and has been at
his bedside at the hospital ever since.
She refused to talk. of the occurrence.

ments In the case of Charles B. Rob
erts of this city, an attempt upon
whose life was made at Atlantic City
Wednesday night while he was riding
in a wheel chair with Mrs. W. S. O.
Williams, also of this city, have cre
ated a sensation in the circles in which
they were known.
Manv have been ready to accept tne
theory that Roberts was the victim of
a highwayman, but the Atlantic City
police assert that W. s. U. imams
will be called as a witness.
Mrs. Williams did not return to this
city this afternoon, although her chil
dren who were with her at the sea
side reached here at 4 P. M., and are
now at the country residence of the
family. W. 8. G. Williams has been
in the city today, according to reports.
For a number of years the Roberts
and Williams families have been on
intimate terms, the heads of the two
houses being of approximately the
same age and moving in the same cir
cles of society. In view of these re
lations it was pointed out by some of
Mr. Roberts' friends that his meeting
Mrs. Williams and riding with her in
the rolling chair Was quite in keeping
with the friendly relations their two
families enjoyed.
The husband of Mrs. Williams re
turned from a two months' trip to Eu

little concerning the affair. He ex
pressed surprise when told that the
woman with Mr. Roberts was his wife,
saying that she was In Boston the
last time he heard from her. He said
that he saw Mr. Roberts last Tuesday
night for the first time since he re
turned home and told him how glad
he was to see him. Mr. Roberts did
not go to Atlantic City until the next
afternoon.

FALLACIES OFBRYAN PLAN
(Continued From First Pafte.)
ifledly declared A. L. Mills, president
of the First National Bank, yesterday.
"The man who pays the most interest
will get the deposits as the depositor
knows that all of the banks, conserv
ative and otherwise, are responsible
to him for his deposits wheresoever
placed. The result would be that there
would be no incentive for careful and
conservative banking. The manage
ment of all the banks would grow more
and more lax and in the end the pub
lic would pay the price.
Logical Result of Plan.
"Why should all of the banks in
the country guarantee each other's de
posits when they have no voice in the
management of other than their own
banking Institution? As well make all
the insurance companies guarantee the
policies, fire and life, of each other.
As well make all the railroads guaran
tee to the lnnoceht stockholders equal
dividends regardless of the corpora
tion in which they invest their money.
As well make a guarantee that every
piece of land would produce 40 bushels
of wheat to the acre, allowing nothing
for thrift, care and good Judgment.
"In other words, why stop at banks
guaranteeing the deposits of each other
and not extend the principle by having
the United States Government guarantee
behind the banks all of the deposits of
the country? Or, better yet, .why not
have the United States run the banks,
railroads, the insurance companies and,
In fact, have a truly fraternal govern
ment in every respect and let us all be
beneficiaries of the Government?
"It Is my opinion that should such a
scheme as proposed by Bryan ever be put
Into operation.- conservative, careful
banking would become a thing of the past
and banks thus conducted would go into
liquidation, leaving the field open to
theorists and exploiters, to the ultimate
great loss of the common people.
Wonld Retire From Field.
"Personally, should the First National
Bank, of Portland, be forced Into any
such scheme by which we might be forced
to guarantee deposits in any bank man
aged by such financiers as Mr. Bryan,
over whose actions the First National
would have no control. I should recom
mend to our stockholders a speedy liqui
dation before the value of our property
was destroyed by . the acts of those over
whom we could exercise no control."
R. L. Durham, vice-president of the
Merchants' National Bank, concurred in
the views of Mr. Mills, and declared that
the enactment of any such legislation as
that proposed by Bryan for guaranteeing
bank deposits would have the dual effect
of increasing rascally operations by wild
cat banking institutions and the discour
aging of careful and conservative bank
ing. "The plan suggested by Mr. Bryan, if
introduced, would have the certain effect
of encouraging less conservative banking
methods." said Mr. Durham. "That is
the concensus of bankers who are con
ducting an entirely legitimate banking
business. It would be absolutely impossi
ble to carry Bryan's scheme into effect
and provide equitable protection to de
positors in all banks. Knowledge by the
nonconservative banker that the deposits
in his institution were guaranteed by a
fund contributed to by all other banks
would tend only to more reckless trans
actions on his part. It would conduce to
rascallity. to the great injury of bankers
who were doing a legitimate business."
Says Scheme Is Visionary.
"Every sensible banking Institution re
gards any attempted scheme for guaran
teeing the deposits of all banks as being
entirely visionary and altogether out of
the question," said R. Lea Barnes, vice
president of the United States National
"Bank. "This theory Is being promulgated
by Bryan at this time purely for vote
getting purposes and those believing in
conservative banking will not be fooled."
Benjamin L Cohen, president of the
Portland Trust Company of Oregon, said:
"Mr. Bryan is an adept at making a
plausible argument in favor of an unwise
measure. His Topeka speech is well cal
culated to impress those who are not
fully informed as to the practicability of
a guarantee of bank deposits, but I feel
most strongly that the common sense of
the American people can be trusted to
detect the fallacy of his arguments and
that long before election day they will be
prepared to vote upon this subject as In
telligently as they did upon his former pet
measure, 'free silver.'
. Put Premium on Fraud.
"The attempt to make a universal guar
antee of bank deposits Is vicious In prin
ciple, wrong in theory and incapable of
accomplishment. It would put a premium
upon incompetency, sloth and fradulent
rascality. No sane banker would be will
ing to contribute out of the funds under
his control for the relief of those of whose
conduct he was ignorant or whose meth
ods did not meet with his approval. Any
kind of guarantee Is a species of In
surance, but all forms of Insurance are
based on a careful -selection of risks, after
due examination and investigation of the
risk proposed to be assumed. Did any
insurance company ever agree to insure
all comers? The question answers itself.
"There is no more reason for the 'guar
antee of bank deposits than there is for
the guarantee of grocers' bills. All the
wealth of the General Government would
not suffice to meet demands In time of
general panic and when the proposed sys
tem once broke down, the effects of its
failure would be far more disastrous than
anything we have experienced in the
past."
REPUBLICANSJN COUNCIL
(Continued From First Page.)
of the House of Representatives shall
not be changed by the coming elec
tions if his Influence and advice can
prevent it.
"Should the President, highly as his
political Judgment is valued, or should
our National candidates, Mr. Taft or
Mr. Sherman, or should I. as chairman
of the Republican state committee, or
should the committee itself attempt to
direct the course c-.J the forthcoming
convention foror against any candi
date, such a course would invite Re
publican disaster, in this momentous
campaign." , Thus spoke Timothy L. Woodruff,
chairman of the state committee, when
asked what action the executive com
mittee would take regarding the nom
ination of a candidate for Governor
at its meeting, - which Mr. Woodruff
shortly after his declaration, called
Into session. The executive commit
tee met here shortly after 10 o'clock.
It was generally reported in Republi
can circles that some action would be
taken with reference to the question
of the nomination of Governor Hughes.
When questioned as to what action,
if any, would be taken with regard
to gubernatorial nominations, Mr.
Woodruff, after speaking as quoted
above, said:
"It is absurd to suppose that the ex
ecutive committee or the state com
mittee would underany circumstances
take any action such as that indicated
in your Inquiry. I do not see how
anyone can assume to know what the
sentiment of the great Republican elec
torate is until the official primaries
and caucuses have been held, the del
egates elected and the convention as
sembled. "The delegates to the Republican
state convention, called to convene at
Saratoga on September 14, will num
ber '1010, representing constituents
amounting to over three-quarters of a
million of Republican voters and elect
ed by 150 assembly district conven
tions, composed in the aggregate of
about 15.000 delegates, who represent
in turn every one of the 4522 election
districts in the state. Only these del
egates when they get together in con
vention can convey to the public pos
itive knowledge as to what the senti
ment of the party actually Is through
out the state. No other means is at
hand or obtainable for determining it,
not even the public press. These dele
gates alone have the power to deter
mine who our candidates shall be.
There is no authority vested anywhere
else either to direct or make a nomi
nation. Thf: President. National
Chairman Hitchcock and Mr. Taft and
Mr. Sherman have repeatedly assured
the public and Individuals with whom
chey have discussed the situation that
they have no desire or intention of
influencing or dictating what the state
nominations of the party shall he."

Mishap Befalls Portland Man When
He Has Substantial read Ma
rine'"' Parade Closes Pro
gramme of Day.
ASTORIA, Or., Aug. -(Special.) The
second day of the Uth annual regatta
opened this morning with rather gloomy
prospects, as the sky was overcast and
squalls were frequent, making the at
tendance at the grandstand small during
the early hours, later, however, the
wind shifted slightly and while there
were occasional showers all day the glass
is gradually going up and the indications
are favorable for good weather tomorrow.
The first event of the morning was the
single scull race between El O. Gloss, of
Portland, and C. G. Laing. of Vancouver,
for the international amateur champion
ship of the Pacific Coast. It was as
pretty a race as was, ever rowed over
the local course, but it was a dead heat,
both scull3 crossing the line together, and
the race will be rowed over tomorrow
morning.
Gloss Secures Icad.
An unfortunate accident which be
fell Gloss and the interference of the
Oregon fisheries patrol boat, which ran
across the bows of the sculls just at
the finish line, were responsible in no
small degree for the fluke.
The race was straightaway, over a
two-mile course and the men got away
evenly. Gloss had the inside course
and gradually drew ahead until he was
fully three lengths to the good. Un
fortunately, however, he ran too close
to the line of wharves and one of his
oars struck the bar tug Tatoosh lying
at the O. R. & N. dock.
This gave Lalng a lead of over a
length, which he maintained for some
time. With a spurt that serrt his scull
through the water like an arrow. Gloss
made up the most of his lost ground
and for 200 feet from the finish neither
boafT was a foot to the good, both
crossing the line at the same instant.
Accident Narrowly Averted.
' "While every one was intently watching
the racers and too late to give a warn
ing, the Oregon fisheries patrol launch
suddenly shot across the course in front
of the sculls, and it was the sheerest
good luck that a serious accident was
avoided.' As it was. Gloss broke the seat
of his scull and capsized shortly after
getting over the line.
In the fishboat rowing race, two men
in a boat, there were three entries. It
was for prizes of and $20, and Victor
Johnson won, with A. Jarvi second.
Men, From Heather Meet.
The next race was between two cut
ter crews from the lighthouse tender
Heather, and as a special honor it was
started by Governor Chamberlain, whoi
was a guest on board the flagship. The
crews were pretty evenly matched and
the one captained by Carlson won, with
the Culp crew second. The prizes were
purses of J20 and $10.
The Portland four-oared crews. No.
1 being Allen, Patton. Gloss and "W'aite,
and No. 2 being Chickering, Ball, Stone
and Dent, rowed a race that was thor
oughly enjoyed by all the spectators.
No. 2 crew won. thus evening up the
honors of yesterday, when No. 1 crew
captured the prize.

BULLETIN NO. 12
"Cheap Electric Light?"
YES!
Bulletin No. 10, appearing in the Telegram of August 8th, and
in The Oregonian and Journal August 8th and 9th, showed the
advantage of Tungsten lamps over other forms of illumination. It
was based on a very careful calculation of facts, as to gas arcs,
and the cost of a 200-candle-power Tungsten arc per month, as
shown therein, included tho cost of renewal.
Comparison With Gas
In comparing Tungsten lamp with the cost of gas arc, the con
sumption of both was based on actual tests. Gas arc catalogues,
showing the consumption of gas, base their figures on a gas pressure
of iy2 inches, and a consumption of about 16 cubic feet per hour.
As a matter of fact, tests in Portland show that the gas pressure
is considerably higher than this, and that the actual consumption
of the gas arc runs from 24 to 2Vz cubic feet per hour.
Even a superficial observation of the operation of the two types
of illuminants will show that the gas arc is also subject to depre
ciation, as may be frequently seen by the mantles becoming black
in part or in whole; the loss of light from this cause being far
greater than from the blackening of electric light bulbs. Gas man
tles are also somewhat brittle in their nature, as any user can tes
tify who has had occasion to handle or renew them.
