RAILROAD SUES TANNER
Company Seeks to Recover $314,
Which It Claims Is Due on Freight.
ALBANY Or.. Aug. 30. (Special.) The
Albany Tanning Company, whose pro
prietor. Albert Sternberg, last Winter
had broken open three cars and took pos
session of tan bark on which he believed
he was being charged an unjust rate by
the Southern Pacific Company, was made
defendant in an action filed In the Circuit
Court here yesterday by the railroad
company. The Southern Pacific sues to
recover $314.56, the amount of freight due
on th shipment.
Sternberg ordered the tan bark from
Oakland, Cal.. and claims the local freight
office of the Southern Pacific quoted him
rate of 18 cents per hundred pounds.
When the bark arrived the company pre
sented a bill at the rate of 32 cents per
hundredweight.
Sternberg refused to pay at thia rate
and fearing the bark would be stored
wKh consequent demurrage, took a force
of men, broke open the cars and took his
bark. He then tendered a payment of IS
cents per hundredweight, which was re
fused.
The railroad company asserts in Its
complaint that the rate on tan bark from
Oakland, Cal., to Albany was 32 cents and
had been for some time previous to Stern
berg's shipment.

SENATOR REMOVES WAR PAINT
So Far as Public Appearances
Go, Breach Is Healed.
MAY BE MERELY TRUCE
Whether Taft Will Punish His En
emy After Election Is Question.
' Many Advisers Insist on
Permanent Peace.
" OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Aug.- 28. From present indica
tions it Is to be inferred that Repub
lican differences, which recently split
the party in Ohio, are to be patched up
long in advance of the election, and
that Taffs home state will give him
a handsorfle majority next November.
Senator Foraker, who caused the split
by his vicious attack upon Taft prior
to the Chicago convention, has become
thoroughly subdued, and gives profuse
assurances that he will support the
ticket. With Foraker in line, the For
akerltes have no excuse for standing
out against Taft; in fact they have
ever reason to fall in line.
Mr. Foraker wants to be returned to
the Senate; he realizes that he will
stand a very poor chance of re-election
if he Is opposed by the Taft element.
which is now in control In Ohio.
Therefore he has washed off his war
paint, forgotten past grievances and
proclaims that there are "no diner
ences" between himself and Mr. Taft.
So far as public utterances go, Mr.
Taft Is on record as entertaining no
hostility toward Mr. Foraker. But
some of Taffs strongest friends in
Ohio have determined to punish the
senior Senator for his fight prior to
the convention, and these men will en
deavor to convince the Republican.
candidate, after the election, to join
them in their efforts to eliminate For
aker from National politics.
Taft's Position Unknown.
Whether Mr. Taft will make war on
Foraker, or whether he will heed the
advice of some of his best friends out
side of Ohio, and consent to Foraker's
re-election, will not be made known un
til after the Presidential election.
Some very prominent Republicans
Roosevelt Republicans who have giv
en Taft their most hearty support, have
Informed the Republican nominee that
they believe Mr. Foraker should be
permitted to remain In the Senate, and
Borne among them have promised to go
to Ohio and make Foraker speeches
after the Presidential contest has been
decided. .
Just how Mr. Taft feels, no one can
say, but it Is very evident that he does
not believe In waging war' upon Sen
ator Foraker while the National cam
paign is in progress, because those
Taft men who were lambasting For
aker after the Chicago convention, and
advocating the election of Representa
tive Burton, or "Brother Charlie" Taft
or some one else to the Senate have
ceased their clatter, and Foraker's
name is no longer mentioned in a hos
tile manner. But whether this silence
signifies a truce, or a permanent ad
justment of differences is as yet un
known. Foraker Pockets Affront.
As a matter of fact Senator Foraker
has been humiliated by the Ohio lead
ers because he was not invited to par
ticipate in the opening of the state
campaign until after the programme
had all been arranged. The Senator
felt this slight, but even at that ha
showed no re'sentment. This attitude
would seem to .indicate that Mr. For
aker is going to conduct himself dur
ing the next three months in a way
that will not warrant the disapproval
of Mr. Taft, in the hope that mutual
friends will be able to persuade the
Taft faction to withdraw their opposi
tion and allow Mr. Foraker to be re
turned. The Senatorshlp is very dear
to Foraker; he would hate to lose it,
and for once he has declined to fight
when he had ample provocation. All
of which will oe helpful to the Repub
lican leaders in their effort to roll up
a big vote for Taft in Ohio.
A rumor has reached Washington
that Senator Foraker Intends to with
draw from the Senatorial race, and
has so privately informed some of his
friends. That rumor is not given cre
dence, 'for only recently Mr. Foraker
asked some of his Senatorial friends to
go to Ohio during November and make
speeches in his behalf. There would
be no object in such speeches if Mr.
Foraker had decided to withdraw from
the Senate.
Tom -Johnson's Attitude.
As far as the Ohio vote Is concerned,
two circumstances are to be reckoned
with, both favorable to the Republican
ticket. Tom Johnson, perpetual mayor
of Cleveland, and perhaps the strong
est Democrat In Ohio, has "soured" on
the Bryan crowd because they treated
him shabbily at the Denver Convention.
Johnson Is so sore that he will take no
active part In the National campaign.

Republican State Chairman Declares
Prouty Will Carry State by
Thirty Thousand.
BURLINGTON, Vt., Aug. 30. (Special.)
There is great anxiety on. both sides
over the result of Tuesday's contest for
Governor and Congressmen and the Leg
islature, which will elect a successor to
the late Redfield Proctor.
As the state has never wavered in its
loyalty to the Republican party, the elec
tion of Lieutenant-Governor George H.
Prouty, of Newport, as Governor, Is be
lieved assured, but James E. Burke, of
Burlington, Democratic candidate for
Governor, is full of confidence that he
will keep the Republican, plurality below
25,000. Only twice in 25 years has Ver
mont given the. Republicans less than
25.000 plurality, and in those years the
Democrats elected their candidate for
President, Cleveland, in 1S84 and 1802.
Frank C. Williams, chairman of the
Republican state committee, tonight re
fused to predict in figures the result
of Tuesday's election.
"I am only willing to say that we
shall carry the state by 30,000 or more,"
he said. t
Mr. Burke, who "has conducted his
own campaign, also declined tonight to
say in figures how much he will run
behind Prouty.
"Our campaign has been very suc
cessful,' he said. "Personally I know
hundreds of Republicans who are go
ing to vote for me, and I am confident
the Republican plurality will be con
siderably below 25.000."
CRISIS IN. COTTON TRADE
Manchester Mills Employes Refuse
to Accept Cut in Wages.
LONDON, Aug. 29. (Special.) A ser
ious crisis is threatened in the Lancashire
ttnn trade on account of the failure of
the conference of masters and operatives
at Manchester to arrive at any agreement
in regard to the employers' proposals to

DEALERS TO OBSERVE LAW

Local Option Law Believe
Public Sentiment Favors
- Open Sunday
ATLANTIC CITT, Aug. . But four
times in 60 years has Atlantic City been
so tightly closed and the liquor laws so
closely observed as today. Even the best
known and most-favored patrons of hos-
telrles and cafes, noted for their wide
open methods, could not secure their cov
eted liquor.
A bulletin posted at police headquarters
this afternoon stated:
Significant Bulletins Posted.
"Saloons all closed. No troops in
town."
Another bulletin officially signed by the
Chief of Police, consisted of a card on
which was printed:
"In 1861 It was hold the fort. Today it
Is Fort holds you."
Governor Fort's proclamation last week
containing his threat to send troops to the
seashore in the event of further viola
tion of the Sunday-closing law, had Its
effeot. Saloonkeepers and hotel men re
luctantly accepted the advice of the
Mayor and of the more conservative
members of the saloonmen's organlza
tion and closed their places of business
as tightly as they knew how. Screens
came tumbling down Saturday ait mid
night and remained down all day. Board
Walk cafes that on Sundays past have
been thronged to their utmost capacity.
serving liquors and food, today were all
but deserted.
Day's Business Loss $150,000.
A spokesman for the affected liquor in
terests and one of the local political lead
ers, declared that the losses from today's
closing would amount approximately to
$150,000. He said that the saloons would
close every Sunday hereafter until some
warrant of law will permit of their re
maining open.
"We will appeal to the Legislature when
It meets In January and have hope of se
curing some sort of relief," he said. We
will work for the passage of a local op
tion law, which will put the question
squarely up to the people of the city
and county. We have been keeping open
in the past as the result of a public
sentiment; which we believed to be In our
favor. If we are wrong, we are willing
to abide by the decision of our own peo
ple. The permanent closing of the saloons-
and hotel bars unquestionably
would hurt the resort and none of us
wants to see that."
Not Single Violation Reported.
The authorities of the city were much
pleased with the thorough manner in
which the law today was -complied with.
Chief of Police Woodruff stated that he
had expected there would be a number
of arrests for excise violations, but up to
a late hour tonight there has been none.
Whatever may be the attitude in the fu
ture, the liquor men capitulated unanl
mously today. Many attempts In devious
ways were made by old patrons to secure
concessions of some sort today, but there
were no special favors to be had any
where. Up to the very hour of mid
night last night the Board Walk's cafes
were crowded to their utmost. The. scenes
were likened to a New Year's rush on the
gay streets of the big cities.

The Chinese Consul-General also made

Four additional lives were saved by as
sistance given the Suveric by the coast
ing steamer De La Rama, which hurried
to the spot where the struggling people
were being gathered from the water to
the decks of the Suveric,
"The affair was one of the nastiest that
has come under my notice," said Captain
Shotten tonight. "The San Gabriel was
an old ship and efforts to make her serv
iceable for the coasting trade had but
covered up a bad condition. The waters
of Manila Bay were running before a
real typhoon and when we- first sighted
evidences of the wreck and later the peo
ple struggling in the water. It seemed
that little aid could be given. By strong
effort, however, we were able to- gather

The Suveric proceeds to Tacoma tomor

SAN FRANCISCO, Ang. 30. The
body of Mrs. Alice L. Donohue, who
disappeared from her home In Emery
ville on the night of June 11, was un
covered today by two boya who. In
dependent of a rigid police Investiga
tion, followed the directions of a spir
itualist who claimed to have located
the spot. Th remains, so badly de
composed as to be almost beyond Iden
tification, lay within ten feet of where
a portion of the woman's clothing was
unearthed yesterday, in a shallow
grave in the marsh, almost beneath
the factory of the Western Furniture
Manufacturing Company, two blocks
from the Donohue home.
Manner of Death Mystery.
The police tonight have in custody
Gus Allsted, deolared to have been an
acquaintance made by Mrs. Donohue
during the racing season last Winter.
Developments today indicate that Mrs.
Donohue met her death on the night
of her disappearance, but an examina
tion contributed in no degree what
form of violence had been employed.
Neither was any explanation volun
teered of the body's half clad condi
tion, nor of the fact -that a portion
of her clothing had been secreted be
neath the factory whence chance
dragged It to light.
Allsted Talked Too Fieely.
Her huBband, Immediately after the
body was discovered, is declared to
have made the emphatic assertion that
two men, and not one, were concerned
in the murder. Allsted Is said to have
had In his possession a brooch once
worn by Mrs. Donohue. This, however,
is not regarded as of great importance.
His arrest is due more, the police say,
to the fact that he had offered several
possible explanations of the woman's
