PEKIN'S ARRAIGNMENT OF MIN
ISTER T.
PBKtN. Aug. 31. The Chinese gov
ernment U considering the recall of
Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister
at Washington, on account ot the re
cent disclosure" on hi part, which are
believed here to have been Indiscreet.
The government for some month
past haa been embarrassed by Minister
TVu platform and other utterance
and by his attitude aa a public char
acter In America.
Liang Tuen Yen, Assistant Secre
. tary ct the Board of Foreign Affairs,
la the leading candidate for the po
sition at "Washington In succession to
Wu Ting Fang.
WASHINGTON. Auk. 31. Wu Ting
Fang-, the Chinese Minister, when shown
the dispatch from Pekin today assert
ing; that his government was consider
ing; the question of his recall, and men
tioning: the name of his probable suc
cessor, declared that Pekln had not in
any way Intimated to him that it was
dissatisfied with anything he had done,
and had not called him to account for
anything; that he had said.
He appeared rather amused and some
what puzzled over the statement that
the government had been embarrassed
by his attitude as a "public character
In America." and his disposition was
to mile in talking about It. The min
ister added:
Talked Only to Students.
"What few speeches . I have made
since my return to America have been
mainly to studonts in colleges and In
universities and have been educational
in character and in furtherance of the
efforts to cement the friendship be
tween China and the ITnlted States. I
have scrupulously avoided touching on
politics. If the utterances credited to
me which the Pekln dispatch says have
emharassed the government relate to
so-called American-Chinese alliance, I
wish to say that 1 have not committed
myself in any way on that subject
more than to remark that it was in
teresting." Attacked in Japan.
'The only Indiscreet speeches or inter
views that I knowof are sme which I
' never made or gave out The words were
put into my mouth by other people. I
understand that In some Japanese news
papers were stories that I had been in
discreet and that I should be recalled if
such was the case."
Mr. Wu said there might be hundreds
of people In Pekln who wanted his
job, but he could not think of the
names of any of them at present, and
- he also said he had not solicited the
appointment when he went back to
China. During his second term as Min
ister to the United States the general
opinion of hl admirers and his critics
as well had been that Mr. Wu has been
much more reserved and circumspect
in both his habits and private utter
ances than he was during the days of
his previous term as Minister.
Liang Named Heretofore.
Liang Chen Tung, mentioned as pos
sible successor to Mr. Wu, actually was
named once for the position of Minis
ter at Washington. This occurred when
he was customs taotal of Tientsin and
followed the retirement of Sir Chen
Tung Liang Cheng.' Mr. Wu's predeces
sor. Liang Tun Ten went to Pekln
for- an audience with the authorities
and was kept there, being appointed to
the position he now holds. Mr. Wu was
then again appointed Minister to Wash
ington. ATHLETES SEE ROOSEVELT

Gleam, to assist in transferring the
visitors to the private pier of W. Emlen
Roosevelt, cousin of the President. The
march up through the woods to the sum
mit of Sagamore Hill was begun im
mediately the last man was on shore. The
glorious weather and the expectation of
the Presidential greeting to supplement
and crown the popular plaudits for their
work in London soon exhilarated the men
and they burst lntc singing, which was
transferred to whistling by the time the
President's house carre into view.
' Proud of Marathon Here.
James El Sullivan, the American Com
missioner, was the first to be received
by the President. They had entered the
reception room. With the President
were Mrs. Roosevelt and their son,
Kermlt. Mr. Sullivan acted as master
of ceremonies, presenting each one of
his brawny charges In turn. The Presi
dent, grasped each one by the hand and
to each be spoke a few words of mingled
greeting and commendation.
John J. iiayes, the Marathon hero.
I had the distinction of being the first to
be presented.
"I am proud of you," said the Presi
dent to him, as he gave Hayes a vigor
ous handshake. "Tour feat was mar
velous. Tou won a great race, and I
am glad of it."
. Before Hayes had realized how warm
was the Presidenfs greeting the Presi
dent had swung him around and turned
him over to Mrs. Roosevelt, and she and
Kermlt then entertained him in conver
sation. Melvln Sheppard next came up.
The winner of the 1500-meter race
beamed all over when the President as
sured him that it was a "bully" victory
which be and the boys had won in Lon
don. Tewanlna, the Indian, who came
In ninth In the Marathon race, pleased
the President immensely.
"I am glad, indeed," said the Presi
dent to him, "that a real American In
dian represented the country abroad. It
was a fine showing that you made."
Hailed as Greatest Athlete.
So it wu with each and every one
of the team that had made the trip,
and when the last man had been
grasped by the' hand and his heart
cheered by the President's words and
he had passed into the dining-room and
partaken of refreshments, Mr. Roose
velt followed in and then had to listen
to some cheers for himself. Some one
proposed three cheers for "the greatest
President the United States ever had.
Theodore Roosevelt." and everybody re
sponded. Kermlt Roosevelt contributed
the statement that never before had the
house on Sagamore Hill resounded with
such a volume of sound. Mr. Roosevelt
checked an effort to repeat the series,
and addressed the athletes as follows:
Proud of Olympic Victors.
Gentlemen: I Just. want to say one word
of greeting to you. Iaro sure you feel every
one Is proud of you. I don't want to speak
in hyperbole, but I think It Is the literal
truth. Mr. SjiIUVrh. to say that the feat
that thla team performed has never been
duplicated In the history of athletics. I
think It is the biggest feat that has ever
been performed by any team of any nation
and I congratulate all of you. There la not
a man on the team who does not deserve
his share In tne total credit. It is not only
the man who won the first, but It la every
man on the team who did his duty, as they
all did. who deserves his share of the credit.
I 'congratulate you all and I thank yon all.
I want to say, Mr. Sullivan, a word of
epecial thanks and acknowledgment to you.
Without you we could not have gotten to
gether and sent over such a team, and our
gratitude, gentlemen. Is due not to those
who were so glad to see you come back
victors we have plenty of those bat to
those who In any way contributed to send
you abroad In such shape that you could be
victorious. I think I could come pretty near
passing a competitive examination on the
records and feats of you.
Now that we Sre here, we must not for-

get how proud we are of the American
riflemen and revolver men. You know I
believe in straight shooting for the battle
ships; for private cltlsens, either one.
Glad They Won Abroad.
Mr. Roosevelt sat with Mr. Sullivan In
the dining-room during the rest of the
visit, and appeared to be greatly Interest
ed In the first-hand reports which Mr.
Sullivan was able to give him of the
great contests in London. Some of the
talk waa confidential. The President, It
Is known, expressed to Mr. Sullivan great
pleasure over the overwhelming victory
of the American team over the teams of
all other competing nations, and then
added:
"It was infinitely better to beat them
on their own ground than if they had
come over here." ,
John J. Flanagan, the weight-thrower,
and Melvln W. Sheppard. the runner, pre
sented the President with their medals.
Mr. Roosevelt protested that he could not
accept, but it was explained Jo him that
both Flanagan and oneppard had others
exactly like those which they were offer
ing him, and thereupon he consented to
keep them as souvenirs of the Olympiad
of 190s.
Farewell Cheers Given.
After the refreshments and the speech
of the President all hands went out on
the veranda, and. grouped about Mr.
Roosevelt, they had their pictures taken.
Before the group dispersed Mr. Roosevelt
announced he would like to shake hands
again with every member of the party,
and, this farewell over, the athletes gath
ered on the lawn in front of the house
and gave rousing cheers for the President
and members of his family. Departing,
they sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fel
low." The Sylph's launches were awaiting
them at the pier, and after a two hours'
stay at Sagamore Hill they were on their
way to New York.

BOSSES RETAIN
GRIP, UP SITE
Republican Machine Candi
dates Win in Rural New
York Primaries.
HUGHES IS NOT AFFECTED
Fear of Bringing Down Wrath of
Voters on Taft's Head Suro
to Bring About His
Kenomlnation.
I
BY LLOYD F. LONEROAN.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.T-(Special.) The
result of the up-state primaries has dem
onstrated that the old bosses still retain
their grip on the party machinery. No
body expected any other outcome, and it
does not mean, as some people think, a
setback for Governor Hughes. The pri
maries in Greater New York will be held
on September 8. Parsons will control the
delegates from New York County. Wood
ruff will tell the Brooklyn men at Sara
toga what they shall say. The repre
sentatives from Queens and Richmond
will work in harmony with them.
There are no fights on either of these
"leaders." None would have been made
by the Governor's friends even if they
had declared against Hughe3. For it is a
hard job for amateurs to make headway
in machine primaries. The attitude of
the Hughes men can be stated In these
words:
"If you want to keep us in line for Taft.
renominate Hughes. If you decide to hu
miliate Hughes, we will be obliged to take
a fall out of Taft."
The net result of the up-state primaries
is that three county leaders out of the 61
in the state took occasion to announce
their oppostlon to the Governor.
. Barnes Typical Heeler.
This trio consists of William Barrtes,
of Albany; Francis Hendricks, of Onon
daga County (Syracuse;, and Edgar M.
Brackett, of Saratoga. Barnes believes
In government "by the machine and for
the machine." It was he who. on the
return from the Chicago convention, led
In singing "We will hang Charlie
Hughes on a sour apple tree." Now he ts
Indignant because Hughes will not "stay
hung."
Hendricks has never forgiven Hughes
for the Insurance revelations, particular
ly because they showed up the conduct of
Hendricks as State Commissioner. He is
booming a candidate of his own, State
Senator Horace White, of Syracuse. Hen
dricks never was and never will be a Mad
Mullah of politics, as Is Barnes.
Brackett was one of the Hughes Presi
dential boomers. As he explained to
friends later, "I tried to make Charley
practical, but failed." The village of
Saratoga is opposed to Hughes because
he put a crimp in racing, and Brackett
has now aligned himself with that senti
ment. The majority of the up-state leaders
made it clearly understood that they
would vote Tor whatever candidate tne
President seWcted, Postmaster Oriener,
whf won in .Buffalo without opposition,
is a typical leader.
"I am for Hughes If Roosevelt wants
him," he said, "and I am against Hughes
if the organization wants somebody else.
The sentiment In my county Just now is
very much mixed, out I have no feelings
one way or the other."
Country Is for Hughes.
In a number of rural counties the
Hughes sentiment is very pronounced.
For example. ex-Commlssloner Shedden
made a "ringing speech" In Clinton
County, saying all sorts of nice things
about Hughes to the great approval of
everybody else. And It must not be for
gotten that Shedden was legislated out of
office by Governor Hughes. Barnes is
making a great noise because of his "vic
tory" in Albany County, but it has failed
to Impress the President. Everybody
knows that. Barnes has the best-disciplined
machine in the state, and can
make it dance to any old tune he plays.
The probabilities are that there will be
no further move in the political game
until after the Greater New York pri
maries. Both Parsons and Woodruff
have protested against an announcement
now. saying that it would injure their
prestige. They insist upon having the
honor of carrying the primaries "without
dictation and without fear of threat."
This privilege, if It ts a privilege, will be
accorded them. '
After the primaries It will be in order
for Mr. Woodruff to arise in all the proud
dignity of a state chairman and an
nounce he is convinced that Charles
Evans Hughes is the choice of a majority
of the Republican voters and is also
strong with pure-minded independents,
whose allegiance to the Republican party
Is earnestly desired. And In view of
these facts it becomes necessary for Mr.
Woodruff to sink his personal opinions
and bow to the will of the majority.
Trick Will Be Easy.
This statement will be indorsed by
Congressman Carsons and gravely agreed
to by Mr. Grtener, of Buffalo. And as
these three distinguished patriot will
control nearly half of the delegates to
the Saratoga convention, it looks as if
they would have no trouble in turning
the trick, especially as the rural districts
will be strong for Hughes.
Barnes will undoubtedly carry the fight
to the state convention, but the chances
are that he will have few allies. The
average "leader" does not enjoy figuring
in a losing fight. ;
The eight Republican State Senators
who voted with the Democrats to con
tinue gambling at the racetracks are
j finding their road to renomlnatlon and re
; election full of political cobblestones.
Gilchrist of Brookly is not even a candi
date, the leaders In his district having
served notice that it would mean defeat
to name him. Burr of Suffolk County will
have half a dozen rivals in his conven
tion, and every one is opposed) to him per
sonally. Owen Cassidy Is the hero of the
famous "John and I" telegram from
Congressman Dwlght and Fas sett which
was altered In transmission. The Sena
torial delegates from Chemung County,
elected some months ago, were In favor
of Cassldy's renomlnatfon. Now the
County Committee by a practically unani
mous vote, has asked Cassidy to withdraw
"in the Interest of party harmony." In
case of his refusal the Senatorial dele
gates are requested to "nominate a
candidate who will best promote Re
publican success. "
Wilcox Goose Cooked.
Senator Benjamin Wilcox, who has
carried his county, Cayuga without op
position for a number of years, lost 63
of the 200 delegates at the primaries,
and in many of the towns his victories
were won by narrow margins. The other
two counties in the Senatorial district
have brought out candidates, and It
looks as if Wilcox's "goose Is cooked.
Wilcox is now trying to regain lost favor
by loudly advocating the renomination of
"that sterling patriot Charles El Hughes,"
but it has not helped him to any great
exu'iii. iwiuuuv"o wfc - - - "
they will run an Independent candidate
If Wilcox manage to land on the ballot.
' Gratlan of Albany, who said he would
vote "as Barnes tells me to," has been
renominated. The indications) are that he
will have trouble in securing a re-election,
despite the activity of the machine
W em pie of the Saratoga district will run
again, and has good prospects of success,
as there is a large racetrack sentiment
among Ms constituents. Senator H.
Wallace Knapp says he does not want to
go to Albany any more. And it is his
first term In the Senate after four years
In the Assembly. The understanding is
that Knapp's rural constituents had some
thing to do with his decision.
Hughes men will not be in evidence as
such at the primaries in this city next
week, but they are watching the situa
tion, and will be heard from if neces
sary. Which explains why Parsons and Wood
ruff are busy preparing their speeches,
telling what a good man Hughes is, and
can use without making themselves ridicu
lous.

CAN'T FIXD TALBOT WILLIAMS
Mrs. W. S. G. Williams Insists Rob
erts' Assailant Demanded Jloney.
BALTIMORE. Aug. 31. It Is impos
sible to locate here the Talbot C. Wil
liams referred to In a Pittsburg dis
patch as a cousin of W. S. G. Williams,
whom the former is said to have seen In
Atlantic City on the night of the shoot
ing of Charles B. Roberts, Jr., of this
city, while Roberts was riding in a
wheel chair on the boardwalk with
Mrs. Williams, last week.
Mrs. W. S. G. Williams today accord
ed a reporter a lengthy interview. In
which she went into the detalla of the
case quite frankly. She declared It a
holdup, pure and simple, described the
assailant and said it was Roberts' re
fusal to give him money that caused
the shooting. Mrs. Williams said that
she got out of the chair before Mr.
Roberts, and that the latter, advancing
to attack the man, was struck by one
of the only two shots fired. She de
clared that, while both she and Rob
erts heard the man speak, neither rec
ognized his voice.
Mrs. Williams characterized as ab
surd the connecting of the names of
her husband and brother with the
shooting, and severely criticised the
Atlantic City police for their course
from the first. She declared that many
of the things she had been quoted as
saying she never said, and that she had
never even seen Chief of Police Wood
ruff. She testified of her being with
Roberts as entirely proper, and bitterly
condemned as unfair and cruel the en
deavor of some newspapers to show a
motive for the shooting at variance
with the holdup theory.
XO NEW LIGHT OX MYSTERY
Roberts Struggles for Life, but
Keeps His Secret.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Aug. 31.
While, pending the outcome of the he
roic fight for life that Charles B. Rob
erts is making in the City Hospital, the
Investigation Into the baffling circum
stances ot the boardwalk shooting of
last Wednesday night ajems to be at a
standstill the charfces of securing a
statement' from the Baltlmorean who
was seriously wounded by a mysterious
assailant saems now to be remote. He
has talked with relatives and his per
sonal physician, but to no one else.
Like all other features of the case,
the reports as to Mr. Roberts' condi
tion are conflicting. It is stated that
In another week the danger of blood
poisoning will be passed. Meantime the
physician can but watch and wait. One
report today said the wounded man had
suffered a slight turn for the worse,
while another said his temperature was
more nearly normal than at any time
since he was shot.
Detective Wilson, of the local police,
who was sent to Baltimore to Inquire
Into the whereabouts of W. S. G. Wil
liams, the husband of the woman who
was with Mr. Roberts on the night of
the occurrence, returned here today.
Mr. Wilson interviewed Mr. Williams In
Baltimore and afterward visited the
Williams place at Long Green, in com
pany with Baltimore detectives. Mr.
Williams told Mr. Wilson he spent the
entire night of Wednesday at his coun
try home. Servants at the place told
the same story.

We have gained an enviable prestige in the garment field
in the Pacific Northwest, and our leadership was never so
firmly established as at the present time. Enthusiastic
customers tell us that we show four new and stylish suits to
one shown by any other store in Portland. Not an old suit
in our entire stock. The excellence in value and desirable'
ness of styles in last Spring's and Summer's lines enabled
us to clean up completely every tailored suit we owned.
We start this season with an absolutely new and fresh
stock; and 75 per cent, of the suits now on display left the
makers' hands less than two weeks ago. We take pride
in inviting the critical inspection of the more discerning
of Portland's fashion followers. We offer for their in'
spection, the newest, freshest, smartest and largest stock
of women's Fall attire ever shown in the Pacific Northwest.

pasengers had clambered out but a
moment before and the heavy vehicle
fell on top of some of them. Two girls
who were on the box with the driver,
escaped. One of them immediately had
hysterics.
"Mr. and Mrs. Newman, of San Fran
cisco, jumped in time to avoid being
caught. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, of San
Francisco, likewise escaped, but a Mrs.
Riley, of Portland, and P. M. Abbott, of
New York, were caught and injured as
indicated."

dispatch, is the wife of Edward F.
Riley, an attorney of this city, and
