FIGHTING
FOR POLITICAL LIFE
Speaker's Predicament Shows
Presidential Boom Howl
ing Farce.
ROOSEVELT GOOD JUDGE
Knew Rank and File Did Not Want
Cannon Refuses to Tell Where
He Got Wealth and Is
Suspected.
OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
Ington. Sept. 33. Viewed in the light
of recent events. Speaker Cannon's late
Presidential ooom becomes a howling
farce. Here is a man who three months
ago was proclaimed by many politicians
to be the strongest possible candidate
the Republican party could nominate to
lead the fight against W. J. Bryan. To
day Mr. Cannon is fighting, as lie never
fought before, for re-election to the
House of ltepresentatlves, and each
succeeding day his chance of election
grows smaller.
And yet had the reactionaries -gained
control of the Chicago convention, the
advice of President Roosevelt would
have been set at naught, and it is quite
probable that this same "Uncle Joe"
would have been named, instead of W.
H. Taft. Mr. Cannon represents the
reactionaries: he is and has been anti
Roosevelt, and because of his very op
position to the Roosevelt policies, and
because he has looked with unseeming
favor upon special interests, he is
threatened with political annihilation.
If the church and labor Interests have
combined to prevent Mr. Cannon's re
election to the House of Representa
tives, how much more bitterly would
they have opposed him in the country
t large, had he, and not Mr. Taft, been
named as the Republican standard
bearer! The rejection of Mr. Cannon
and the nomination of Mr. Taft is just
one more tribute to the political saga
city of Mr. Roosevelt, than whom no
man la closer to the people. Mr. Roose
velt was opposed to the nomination of
Mr. Cannon because he knew the rank
and file of the party did not want Mr.
Cannon; because be knew Mr. Cannon
would not be a true representative of
the masses of the people, and because
lie was satisfied that other and better
men could be found.
Once Idol, Xow Suspected.
The church and labor, combining
with the Democrats, may or may not be
able to prevent Mr. Cannon's re-election
to the House, but regardless of what
takes place In the Eighteenth Illinois
Congressional District, enough has
transpired to demonstrate that Mr,
Cannon la the heaviest handicap the
Republican National ticket Is carrying
through thie campaign. The very pos
sibility that he may be re-elected
Speaker of the House and again In
stalled In the second highest office in
the Nation, is a serious drawback to
Che Republican, ticket; It is likely to
cost Mr. Taft many votes. There, are
tiot a few voters who reason it out
that, if Mr. Cannon was strong enough
to block the reforms of Mr. Roosevelt,
he will be strong enough to do the
tame with Mr. Taft, and among church
men and laborers there is no slight
sentiment In favor of wiping Mr. Ctn
non off the Governmental checker
board. Only a few years ago Joseph G. Can
non uu an Idol among the people;- he
was an idol in the House of Represen
tatives. He waa then pictured as a
rugged, honest, faithful old statesman,
to whom the Republican party was deep
ly indebted. Today his honesty has been
questioned: he is branded as a traitor
to the people; a hindrance to the better
element in his own party, and altogether
one of the most "undesirable citizens" in
the Republican fold. No longer is he an
Idol; he has become en object of sus
picion and condemnation. Like some of
Js'ew Tork City's most notorious polltl
ral bosses, Mr. Cannon has been shown
to be a wealthy man, and like them he
Is continually confronted with the ques
tion: "Where did you get it J"
Mr. Cannon refuses to tell how much
he is worth, but It Is no secret that he
has a tremendous fund of resources upon
which he can draw. He may have ac
quired this wealth honestly, but It has
been Intimated that lie came by some of
It in at least a questionable way, and It
Is up to him to explain. Mr. Bryan
asked him to explain and he dodged the
question. He has been repeatedly asked
to explain, always with the same result.
His very refusal to take the public into
Ills confidence haa given impetus to the
rumor that he has acquired wealth by
means peculiar to disreputable politicians,
and this stigma will stick unless Mr.
Cannon comes forward with some expla
nation. .Perlwps this is a purely personal
matter that concerns only Mr. Cannon,
but the prominence that has been given
the charge rather makes it incumbent
tipon him to lay bare some of his per
sonal affairs In order to regain public
confidence that has been lost.
Where Did He Get It?
The charge of corruption in politics, if
supported by any sort of tangible evi
dence, is apt to prove harmful in these
days of reform. Here Is Mr. Cannon ac
cused of amassing a large fortune, while
holding his place in Congress. He could
not have made it out of his salary; he
did not inherit it. and It is doubtful If
Ills banking Interests would net him any
such amount as he Is supposed to pos
ses.. When these things are considered
and the average voter recalls that the
Speaker lias been a staunch friend of the
railroads and an equally staunch friend
of the brewers and distillers. It takes
little stretch of the Imagination to satisfy,
the aforesaid average voter that Mr.
Cannon must have been on intimate
terms with some of the leading corpora
tion men of the Nation. This suspicion
may or may not be just, but Mr. Cannon
refuses to be frank, and his very refusal
In a campaign gives color to report. Such
a. rumor, pushed along by church arid
labor influence, can do tremendous dam
age; it may be the undoing of a man
who might" have been the Republican
nominee for President.
POLICEMAN JS MURDERED
Contlnued Prom First Pwe.)
Toung. for instance, thougn on duty and
supposed to be patrolling his beat, waa
unarmed. When his body waa searched
on the arrival of a detail of officers from
the central police station, no revolver or
weapon of any kind was found on his
person. He lay on the floor in the cen
ter of the room where he had fallen.
Victim Was I narmed.
Officer Toung was one of the veteran of
ficer on the local force. He had been
connected .with the department for many
years and bore an excellent reputation.
Bo far as Is known at headquarters, ha
bad co enemies, and his brother-officers
scout the idea that he was hated so bit
terly that an enemy would follow him
into a brilliantly lighted saloon, ignorant
of the number of occupants, and shoot
him.
Woods related the etory of the crime in
detail to the detectives and offi
cers who were dispatched from
headquarters as soon as a report
of the murder was received. As
a result of his account of the crime
officers are scouring the city for clues
of the unknown murderer. Youngs
private life will be Investigated thorough
ly to ascertain, if possible, whether he
had had recent trouble with any one
or whether any one bore a grudge
against him.
At the same time they are pursuing
an entirely different line of investiga
tion. They are anxious to learn why
Young went Into the saloon while on
duty, for during all his years of service
he was not known to break a rule of
the department. They also are desirous
of ascertaining why he was unarmed
while on duty. Every officer is sup
posed to bear arms while patrolling his
beat, but when the body of the murdered
officer was searched as it lay on the
saloon floor, there was no weapon of
any kind on his person.
Coroner Soon Reaches Scene.
The ball that caused the officers death
was a -88 caliber of a special make. One
of the balls went wild and found its way
Into the wall where It Imbedded itself
and was removed by the officers.
. Coroner Norden was notified as soon
as he police arrived, and the body of
the dead officer was left where It lay
until his arrival. He reached the scene
soon after Hhe murder, and the body
was removed.
"Officer Young had Just come4lnto my
place through the front door," said
Woods to the officers, "and had been
Inside only a few moments when the
rear door was -opened. I started back
toward the door to see who it was, and
as I had" crossed about half the dis
tance to the door an unknown man
entered. He carried a revolver in his
hand and wore a white cloth with two
holes in it across his face.
"He brushed me aside and walked
toward the officer. "Come on," he said
to Young. 'I've got you now!' and with
that he fired. The officer turned, but I
don't think the first shot hit him. Then
the fellow fired twice again, and the
officer dropped to the floor, dead. He
turned quickly and went out the rear
door and escaped., I have no Idea who
he was, but he must have had a grudge
against the officer." -
Woods' Story of Crime.
Young, according to Woods, had been
in the saloon only about three minutes
when the assassin entered. On entering
the place, Woods says the officer went
into a side room and drank a glass of
whisky. As he and Woods left the side
room Woods seated himself near the
stove, the officer standing beside him.
Woods was turning a damper on the
stove when he noticed the rear door
open cautiously, then quickly close again.
He Immediately arose and started to
wards the door to investigate. As he
did so the door was thrown violently
open, and a masked man entered. He
held a revolver In his hand and on his
face he wore a white cloth with eyeholes.
He leveled the weapon at the officer who
was still standing near the stove. Brush
ing Woods aside, he approached within
three or four feet of the officer.
"Come to me," he said, "I've got you
this time and am going to kill you."
He fired three shots, the officer falling
on the floor, then turned and retreated
towards the door. Closing it behind him
he disappeared in the darkness. It was
then that Woods called for help.
Sergeant Baty assumed charge of the
Investigation and upon searching the
body of the dead officer It was found
that he waa unarmed. An officer was
immediately sent to his residence and.
there It was learned that he had left his
revolver at home when he went on duty
last night.
. .Hat and Mask Found.
At midnight searchers in the neighbor
hood found a'hat and mask which had
evidently been lost by the murderer in
his flight. They were found on Multno
mah street, a block . distant from the
scene of the murder. It was a light
colored hat and the mask had two holes
in it. They were found at the end of a
path which runs through a vacant lot
directly from the rear entrance to the
saloon.
Bloodhounds were called and at an
early hour this morning efforts were
being made to give the animals the scent
of the fugitive from the hat. The dogs
belong to Detective Andy Vaughn and
are considered reliable. Up to a. late
hour the hat and mask ' were the only
clew that had been discovered. .
A nephew of the murdered policeman is
James Young, a grocer on First street,
between Main and Madison.
Shot at Many Years Ago.
About 30 years ago a fugitive murderer
from Chicago, James Jordan, shot at
Toung from a carriage at First and Alder
streets, the policeman approaching the
carriage to arrest the fugitive. He was
not hit, but in the excitement attending
the firing the murderer escaped.
Among the old members of the force,
Samuel Young was held In much esteem
and waa regarded as an inoffensive man
without enemies, except possibly in the
criminal classes. Joe Day, Henry Griffin
and others expressed that opinion in say
ing, when Informed of the murder, "Poor
old Sam."
the murderer hastened to the rear door
by which he had entered and, carefully
closing it behind him, escaped in the
darkness.
Woods shouted for help and ran to the
front door. Immediately across the street
is the saloon of William Gottschalk, who,
on hearing the shots, also ran to his
front door. Seeing- Woods, he hurried
across the street and heard the story as
related by Woods. He Immediately noti
fied police headquarters . and Detectives
Price and Coleman were detailed on the
case.
Ev E. Leavltt. bartender in the employ
of Woods, who lives above the saloon,
also heard the shots and rushed down
stairs. To him, he said. Woods related
the same story he told the officers.
Neither Leavitt nor Gottschalk saw the
masked man who entered the saloon, nor
have any neighbors been found who saw
the fleeting murderer.
It is believed by the officers as a re
sult of their investigations that an un
known enemy of Officer Young saw him
enter the saloon and deliberately followed
him there to murder him. No clew to
the man's identity has been unearthed,
but hopes of his ultimate capture with
the aid of the dogs Is entertained.
Woods purchased the saloon three weeks
ago. He is originally from Grants Pass
where he conducted a saloon, and later
moved to North Bend where he also con
ducted a hotel and saloon. His bartender
was employed at the same place by the
former owner.
Officer Young had .been on the local
police force for more than a quarter of a
century. He was one of the oldest men
on the force, not only In point of service
but also in years. He has always borne
an excellent reputation, and is survived
by a family.

J. G. Webster in Oak
land, Cal.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept, 23. (Special.)
Jesse Grant Webster, missing cashier
of the Cascade Laundry Company, who
disappeared October 7. 1907, and who is
charged by F. H. Kilbourne, of that
concern, with larceny by embezzlement,

a press dispatch giving the details of an
automobile accident near San Francisco,
Captain of Detectives Charles Tennant.
of Seattle, learned of the whereabouts of
Webster. The press dispatch gave the
list of Injured and among them were the
names of J. G. Webster and Mrs. Web
ster. Located in California.
A telegram was sent to the San Fran
cisco police asking that Webster be ar
rested. Chief W. J. Biggy, of that city,
wired back that Webster was In a sani
tarium In Oakland. The Oakland Chief
of Police was then notified by telegraph
to arrest Webster. He telegraphed
back yesterday that Webster, while un
able to be moved on account of his in
juries, was under surveillance.
At 2419 North Broadway, in an elegant
ly furnished home, Mr. and Mrs. Webster
lived. She waa formerly Miss Dottle
Hammond, . of this city. It was through
a conversation Mrs. Webster had with
Mrs. F. H. Kilbourne, wife of Frank H.
Kilbourne, that the first investigation
Into the accounts of Webster started.

bourne of the luxuries Webster lavished
upon her reached the ears of Mr. Kil
bourne. Ho knew that on the salary
Webster received such things were im
possible. Be also knew that unless Web
ster had some other income he " could
not spend the money his wife said he
was spending.
According to the complaint made byj F.
H. Kilbourne to the Prosecuting Attorney,
after the disappearance of Webster, the
money was secured from amounts taken
to the bank by Webster, for which it is
alleged false returns had been made to
the company.
Employed for Several Tears.
Webster Is 33 years old and had been
In the employ of the Cascade Laundry
Company for several years. Telegrams
were rushed to all parts of the.ljnlted
States soon after Webster was accused of
embezzlement, but until the brief news
item in a local paper told of the auto
mobile accident nothing was known of his
whereabouts.

Crux of Difficulty About Mulal Ha

Claim lo Occupy Territory
" Till Debt Is Paid.
PARIS, Sept 23. A telegraph resume
of Germany's reply to the Franco-Spanish
note on Morocco reached Paris to
day from Jules Cambon, the French
Ambassador to Berlin, and already has
been the subject of a conference be
tween Foreign Minister Pinchon and
Premier Clemenceau. The text of the
reply is coming by a special messenger,
and will not arrive here until tomor
row. Officials are reticent with regard to
this telegram; nevertheless, it has been
learned, from a competent source, that
the principal difficulty raised by Ger
many concerns the question of the re
imbursement of France and Spain for
the expenses Incurred by their military
occupation of Morocco.
While Germany does not deny that
France has a right to certain reim
bursements in this regard, she takes
the position that France ' and Spain
acted under the Algeciras act, and
therefore without a special mandate,
and that consequently all the powers
have a right to know and examine the
terms of the settlement. In other
words, France has no right to complete
arrangements without consulting the
signatories of the Algeciras act, and
particularly she should not exact spe
cial guarantees from Mulal Hand, such
as, for Instance, the occupation of the
territory until the debt is liquidated.
This is the crux of the German objec
tion, and the, point most likely to lead
to a sharp controversy.
While the form of Germany's reply
Is conciliatory, the substance leaves
little doubt that Germany Intends to
Insist that France shall not have a free
hand in settling her accounts with
Morocco.'
BOYLE PLEADS INNOCENCE
Degenerate Son of Rich Seattle Man
Changes Tactics.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 23. Charles
Boyle, son of a millionaire and a former
Stanford student, who was arrested at
Salinas on a charge of having commit
ted a series of daring robberies and as
saults in Marm County, several months
ago, has repudiated the confession he Is
alleged to have made to Sheriff W. P.
Taylor in the Salinas Jail, has engaged a
lawyer and yesterday pleaded not guilty
to robbing a hardware store.
Toung Boyle recently enlisted in the
Twentieth Infantry, at Monterey. A day
or two before his enlistment the body of
Mrs. Mary Sego was found floating in
the bay with her throat cut.
A few days later a man named Boyd
was found dead in the sand with his head
beaten to a pulp and his throat cut.
The authorities are endeavoring to
learn of Boyle's whereabouts when the
crimes were committed. Sheriff Taylor
declares that a sock filled with shot,
found near the body of Boyd, bore the
Initials C. B. On a previous occasion,
the Sheriff aays. when Boyle Is alleged
to have wantonly killed rtwo horses by
shooting them and cutting their throats
he wiped his knife upon an initialed
handkerchief, which he left behind.
According to Sheriff Taylor's statement,
the prisoner admitted several of the
crimes committed in Marin County, and
attributed them to spells of three and
four days duration, during which period
he was without knowledge of what he
was doing.
It Is expected that the young man's
family, which is socially well connected,
will make every effort to free him on
the many charges he is facing. It is
understood that his lawyers will enter a
plea of kleptomania, resulting from In
iill Morrison St.,
juries received In an intercollegiate foot
ball game several years ago.

CHILD LOSES LIFE 111 BIVEH
TEX-TEAK-OIiD BOY DROWSED
WHEN' BOAT CAPSIZES.
Futile Attempt lo Right the Over
Attempt to Right the Overturned
Craft Almost Causes Death
Lowell Smith, aged 10 years, son of
Mrs. M. E. Smith, of 423 East Pine
street, was drowned in the Willam
ette River near the Burnslde bridge at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Hugh
Brady dragged the river until a late
hour last night, but did not succeed in
recovering the body.
Smith was accompanied ' by Harry
Benson, aged 10 years, of 24 East Sixth,
and Ernest Klein, aged 11 years, of 413
East Pine. Tho three lads were rowing
in a dilapidated boat they had found
in the. river a few days before. Klein
was handling the oars, when, in at
tempting to turn the boat suddenly, the
craft dipped, taking in considerable
water. This frightened young Smith,
who sprang to the opposite side of the
boat, which capsized, throwing all
three Into the river. Instead of cling
ing to the upturned craft, the boys un
dertook to set it to rights. In this they
were unsuccessful and finally Smith,
being exhausted, sank.
As the boat capsized and the boys
were thrown into the water, D. S. Ram
say, of 29 East Seventh street, was
crossing the bridge. Witnessing the
accident and being unable to render
any assistance, he shouted for assist
ance. In this way the attention of
Fred Olson, who was working on a
barge oa the opposite side of the river,
was attracted. He lowered a boat and
went to the assistance of the boys, but
Smith was drowned before he could
reach the upturned boat. Toung Ben
son and Klein were, -rescued and
brought to shore.
