THE 3IORNING OREGONIAN, TIIURSDAT, SEPTEMBER 10. 1908. FULL FROM AUTO FATAL TO BANKER Philip Liiienthal Either Falls or Jumps at Time of Col lision. HEAD TERRIBLY CRUSHED Machine Strikes Horse and Sulky In Returning From Prle-Flgbt. Banker Dies on Way to Hospital. SAX FRANCISCO. Sept. 9. Phillip JS Liiienthal. president of the Anglo Californian Bank of this city, and one of the most prominent financiers of the Pacific Coast, died here this even ing from Injuries received when the automobile In which he was returning from the Gans-J.el.son prixe-flght col lided with a horse and cart. The banker, who was an extremely heavy man. either Jumped from the machine when he saw that the collis ion' was coming or was hurled to the ground by the sudden stoppage of the car. striking on his head and shoulders. One side of his head was found to be terribly crushed when he was picked up and several ribs had been fractured by the force of his fall. He died in the car on the way to tne nospuai. On Way Home From Fight. Mr. Liiienthal had gone to the prize fight, which was held in the arena near the county line, accompanied by Gregory TVilenkin, the financial agent at Washington of the Russian Govern ment during the Japanese-Kussian war. and Ignace 'Warschansky. also of St. Petersburg, and well-known In Wash ington. After the fight the party again entered Mr. Liiienthal s automobile and started to return to the cily along the broad , Mission road. The car was making good speed, when the chauffeur decided to turn down a cross street leading directly to the heart of the city. As he swung the ma chine around the corner, a young horse attached to a heavy sulky and coming in the opposite direction, became frightened and pranced In front of the car. Found Dying on Itoad. Although the chauffeur brought his car to a stop very suddenly, he could not avoid the collision and the horse was piled up on the fenders of the automobile, falling from there to the ground. The chauffeur and Mr. Wllenkln and Mr. War schansky Jumped out at once and set sbout helping the driver of the sulky right his cart and get his horse on Its feet. It was at this time that the absence of Mr. Liiienthal. who had been sitting in the front seat of the car. was noticed. On lookir.g around, his friends discovered the banker lying in the road some 15 feet away from the machine, unconscious and Willi his face and head covered with blood. The injured man was hastily placed in the car and all speed made to the nearest hospital, but Mr. Liiienthal exp'red during the Journey. Examination at the hospital showed that one side of the head had been crushed and a number of ribs on the same side broken, evidently by the force of the fall. Jumped or Was Thrown Out, Whether Mr. Liiienthal Jumped from the car when he saw the accident im pending or whether he was thrown out by the sudden checking of the rapid motion is not known, as no one of the party saw what happened. Mr. Liiien thal weighed about 250 pounds, and the terrific Impact of his body with the hard pavement was sufficient to in jure him beyond the- chance of recov- ery. Philip Liiienthal was one of the most ; prominent as well as the most popular of the financiers of this city. He was closely associated with the banking t firm of Seligman in New York, Mrs. I Liiienthal being a member of that ' family. A careful examination of the body to night disclosed the fact that the death of Mr. Liiienthal was due to a wound inflicted by the shaft of the sulky. The sharp point of the shaft penetrated the left side of the chest, puncturing the lung and Ftriking the heart.

H. K. Judge, chair man of the committee on reception. last nla-ht attended the meeting of this asso ciation and requested It members to do their part toward decorating the city properly. The request had scarcely been presented when a motion was adopted In which the merchants agreed unanimonsly to do their part towards making Satur day's demonstration a memorable one. CITY HELPS TO SWELL FtXD. Councll Votes $250 Toward Recep tion to Oregon Athletes. Councilman Baker introduced an or dinance before the City Council yes terday morning, which was passed, authorizing the Mayor and Auditor to draw a warrant on the special fund of the City Council. payableto Dr. A. A. Morrison, chairman of the general committee having charge of the recep tion of the Oregon athletes. The amount thus given by the city is $250. Councllmen Cottel and Cellars opposed the passage of the ordinance, on the ground that It is a misappropriation of public funds, but all of the other members of the Council voted for It. Tom Richardson, manager of the Commercial Club, spoke briefly In favor of the ordinance, saying that it is but showing Portland appreciation, in part, for the splendid attainments of her athletic sons, and Is the best ad vertisement of the Oregon climate and of the state and city in general that could well be had. Councllmen Baker and Vaughn also spoke for the passage of the measure, and Councilman Ben nett said that, as there is set aside a sum for the use of the Council, he be lieved it available for this purpose. Mr. Cellars said he did not believe the taxpayers' money should be appro priated for such an occasion, and that. In his opinion, the business men ought to bear the expense. Mr. Baker re plied by saying that he believed the results to be had from a celebration such as la being planned Is the best possible use of funds. It strikes me." said Mr. Baker, "that if by the use of a little money we can have the eyes of the whole world cen tered on Oregon and especially on Portland, It is money mighty well spent." I believe that the athletes should be welcomed In fit style," said Dr. Cottel, "but I feel that the money should be raised by subscription among business men. If the hat were passed, I feel certain the necessary amount would be easily raised." ROANOKE'S MATE ARRESTED DISCHARGE OF VESSEL'S GUX VIOLATES LAW.

Some in vestigation revealed the source of the projectile. It seems that the missile, which is usually attached to a line, had broken away because of an overcharge of powder. The gun had been fired with the idea that the line would fall in the river and might be readily hauled back. Patrolman Llllis Immediately applied to Judge Van Zante and secured a warrant for Black's arrest. The officer maintained that he was carrying out the provisions of the United States marine law, which re quires all boats equipped with the Lyle guns to fire them once in 30 days to insure against the gun's becoming rusted or otherwise unserviceable In emergency. The case will have a hearing today in the Municipal Court. The mate was released on his own recognizance and will be tried under the city ordinance which pro hibits the discharge of firearms within the city limits.

DEFENDS STATE RIGHTS Declares Corporations Favor Expan sion of Federal Power Accuses Taft of Amending Platform. Starts to Invade East. PEORIA, 111., Sept .W. J. Bryan was the man of the hour In Peoria to day. From the moment he set foot In the city at noon until his departure to night for Evansville, Ind., he was accorded a series of demonstrations. Within ten minutes after his arrival he was addressing a vast throng In front of the hotel. He took for his text the more striking passages of his Labor day address in Chicago and dwelt at some length upon the right of trial by Jury In cases of indirect contempt. During the afternoon and evening he made three more speeches, the princi pal one at the Coliseum, which was Allied to its capacity, and which ne cessitated an overflow address in Courthouse Square. His set speech on "The State and Nation." in which he declared in favor of state rights, was received with vociferous applause and every manifestation of approval. Says Taft Amends Platform. When he hnd finished his prepared speech, he launched Into a discussion of the campaign,, and reiterated his charge that Mr. Taft was not satisfied with the Republican platform and had been compelled to amend It In many particulars. When the train pulled out of the sta tion tonight, the actual invasion of the East by the Democratic' candidate was begun. From this point until the trip Is concluded. September 29. at Lincoln, Mr. Bryan will -ravel In a private car. Ex-Judge A. B. Parker will entertain Mr. Bryan at his home In Esopus, N. Y. The night will be spent as the guest of ex-Senator David B. Hill, at Albany. Speech on State Rights. Mr. Bryan began by reasserting the well known Democratic doctrine of state rights and then said great corporations haTT exerted Influence In extending Fed eral authority, preferring Federal to state courts. Congressional to state regulation and had been seeking Federal Incorpora tion. He declared that the Democratic party would resist every attempt to ob literate state lines, whether through leg islation or Judicial interpretation. He denounced the doctrine "that the rights of the states can lapse through nonuse, and that Congress Is Justified In usurping the authority of the state If the state falls to make proper use of it," calling it "as Insidious and as dangerous an assault as has ever been made on our constitutional form of government." He continued: The people of tbe state can act with more promptness than the people of the Nation, nd If they fail to act. It must be assumed that the people of the state prefer Inaction. The real purpose that those have In view who complain of the Inaction of the state 14 not more wtrict regulation of corporation, but the relief of corporations from state reg ulation. The Democratic party favors the full ex ercise of the powers of the Government for the protection of the rights of the people each Government to act within lta constitu tional sphere. Our platform demands that Federal legislation be added to, not ubetl tuled for, state legislation. Corporations Game of Tag. The predatory corporations have taken ad vantage of the dual character of our Govern ment and have tried to hide behind state riKhts when prosecuted In the Federal courts and behind the interatate commerce clause of the Constitution when prosecuted in the state courts. There la no twilight zone between the Na tion and the state In which the exploiting interest can take refuge from both. There Is no neutral ground where, beyond the Juris diction of either sovereignty, the plunderer of the public can find a safe retreat. As long as a corporation confines it activities to the state In which It was created. It Is subject to state regulation only: but as Boon a It In vades Interstate commerce il becomes amena ble to Federal law as well a to the laws of the state which created It and the law of the mates in which It does business. How trict can these lawa be? Just as strict as may be necessary for the protection of the public. Our platform outlines the regulation deemed neceeeary and the regulation Is specifically set forth In order that our opponents may not be able to scare the public by predicting hurtful legislation. Our platform, unlike the Republican platform, says what It means and means only what it say. Railroads Are Different, A distinction Is drawn between the rail roads and other corporations. The railroad, being a- quasi-public corporation and. as such, being permitted to exerclee a part of the sov ereignty of the state. Is subject to regula tion at the hands uf both the Nation and the state but this regulation is intended not to cripple the railroad, but to Increase their efficiency. The people at large are as much Interested as the stockholders are In the suc cessful operation of the railroad. Their own pecuniary Interests as well as their sense of Justice would restrain them from doing anything that would Impair the road or re duce its efficiency. The traveling public is vitally Interested In the payment of wage sufficient to command the most intelligent service for life as well a property la In the hands 'of those who operate the trains, guard the switches and keep th track in repair. The Democratic party would distinguish between those railroad owners, director and managers who. recognizing their obligation to the public, earn their salarlea by con scientious devotion to the work entrusted to them, and those unscrupulous "Napoleons of Finance" who use railroads as mere pawns in a great gambling game without regard to the right of employes or to the Interests of the patrons. Democratic Railroad Policy. It Is In the Interest of honest railroading and legitimate Investment that the Demo cratic party seeks to ascertain the present value of the railroad properties and to pre vent for the future the watering of tock and the issue of fictitious capitalisation: and It Is In the interest of both the railroad and the public that Jt seek only such reductions In transportation rates as can be made without wage reduction, without deterioration In the talking talking machines? all the makes - all the records J all the time ' can be found only at Viators Columbia Edison Washington Street. pireHlilitr Corner of Park (8th) Street. Portland's Piano House. Not an Agency Not a Branch. service and without Injustice to legitimate investments. The Democratic party lnelt that In the matter of regulation of railroads both the state governments and ire r eoecai Government ehall act up to and yet within their powers: for nothing else will restore the confidence and good will that ought to exist between the railroads and the people. In dealing with manufacturing and trading corporations the Democratic party draws a distinction between those corporations and they constitute the great majority of all the manufacturing and trading corporation which are engaged In a legitimate effort to supply what the consumers neeo. snd the very few corporations which are seeking by conscienceless methods to take advantage of the public on the one hand, while on the other hand they bankrupt competitors, op press the producers cf raw materials ana deal arbitrarily with their employe. It endea vors to protect the Innocent corporations by visiting puntehment upon those corporations which are guilty of Infractions of the moral and the statute law. Here, too. our platform Is specific and no one can use It language to frighten any business man whose transac tlona are fair and whose Income Is honestly eC"-d ,,rt the nlain. straightfor ward declaration of our party with the vague and ambiguous utterances of the Re publican leaders and the Republican candi date without recognizing that our appeal Is to the Jgment and good sense of the voter. who desire jubucu . Y upon Justice being done by others. Our rarty. if entrueted with the power, will rem edy th abuses which have grown up under Republican rule, snd yet remedy those abuse with .d" regard to Constitutional limitation rndwl"hout injury to any legitimate businesa Interest.

After following a number of olews in Salem that it was thought would lead to the thief of the valuable express package belonging to Joseph Meyers from the Wells-Fargo Express Company late In August, C. Cain, -the detective in charge of the case returned to Portland last night. . He said that he had nothing to make public In regard to the case and it appears that the detectives are consid erably mystified as to thj Identity of the thief They will continue the search, they say, until the thief is brought to Justice, if it takes years. As yet they have not proceeded far enough to warrant an arrest. H Beckwith, local manager for the express company, is equally resolute in prosecuting the search. He says that the settlement of the troubles In the Meyers family will not have the effect of put ting a stop to the hunt, but that it will be kept up until the miscreant is found.
