John W. Kern in Speech At
tacks Publication of Letter
Attributed to Cleveland.
RAPS SECRETARY STRAUS
Declares He Should Recall Indorse
ment cf Letter Made in Speech
nd Grills Republican News
papers 'Which Printed It.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala-. Oct. !. The pub
lication and use by the Republican
campaign manager as a campaign doc
ument of the letter attributed to the
authorship of the late Grover Cleve
land, which contained a strong in
dorsement of the Republican candidate
for President, was the subject of a
rpeerh by John W. Kern, before a large
audience in the Jefferson Theater here,
tndfty. '
He declared such use of the docu
ment to be an Infamous attempt to
place a vile stigma upon the name of
the great departed statesman ani lik
ened It to the use made in the Garfield
campaign of the famous "Morey letter
forgery.
Mr. Kern sal.I that since Secretary
Straus of the President's Cabinet had
In a speech referred to the letter as
authentic, "and that speech found Its
way to all parts of the country," he
continued:
Proofs or Falsity.
Trrf that this alleged letter cf Mr.
Cleveland a base and criminal fabri
cation are no overwhelming that it l cnn-c-d-d
on all side that the distinguished
ex-President wrole no such l-tter and Is
trl.t Attorney Jerome of New York has
already taken stern to determine the guilty
author, determined to bring him to jua-
Vnd vet the Republican campaign docu
ment carrylna thi fabrication still circu
late srrpurv Straus has not yet re
r.lled his Indorsement as to Its authenticity.
Republican newspapers which originally
printed the rabrlrated letter under gr.-at
headlines have either refused to print the
exposure of the crime or have so placed
such exposure In their Journals as to at
tract no attention.
Worse Than Morey Letter.
The publication and circulation of this
fnhrlratod 'letter Is more Infamous In all
respects than the puhlliatlon anfl circula
tion of the celebrated "Mt.rey letter" forg
erv In the (l.rneld campaign It Is more
Infamous because In that Instance General
Garfield was living and gave prompt and
effective denial. In tht case the alleged
author Is dead and unable to repudiate and
deny It. It Is all the more Infamous ne
ciuse It followed so closely that tender
and splendid tribute to his memory unani
mously adopted at the recent National
convention of his party and Is an attempted
stlama upon his name as a Democrat and
a man. It remains to be seen whether the
Ira.lers ot the Republican party those In
charge of Its campaign will be manly
enough to right this wrong thing which
ha le-n done to the memory of Grover
Cleveland by the circulation of thia vile
fabrication.

Board of Police Commissioners and a
number of spectators In attendance at

occasions demanded this sum of him
as the price for withholding protests
against the granting of a saloon

presence of Duke, who angrily declared,
that the saloonman would be forced to
appear before the grand Jury and sub

Many Prominent Scientists Speak on
Danger of Infection From
Bovine Bacilli.
WASHINGTON, Oct. -Pronounced op
position to the theory advanced by Dr.
Robert Koch, the eminent German scien
tist, who minimises the danger of human
Infection from bovine tuberculosis and
who declares that the "tubercule bacilli of
bovine tuberculosis are different from
those of human tuberculosis, again de
veloped Itself at today's session of the
International Congress on Tuberculosis.
The controversy occurred in the section
of the "Prevalence and Economics of Tu
berculosis of Animals," and the German
scientist's theory was combatted by some
of the most prominent veterinarians in
the United States. Leaders in the oppo
sition to the Koch theory were Dr. Otto
G. Noxek. of Reading. Pa.: Dr. Arthur
Hughes, of Cornell University; C. J.
Marshall, of Philadelphia; H. Rene Reyn

Veramus A. Moore, of Ithaca. . Y.
"Thai uniformity of tlie tuberculosis ba
cillus is recognised everywhere today,"
said Dr. Noxek. "and even the Prussian
government refutes Koch's theory." He
also cited the statement of the English
commission of 1907 that "man and beast
cannot. Infect each other." Dr. Noxek
said that all measures to protect man

staple articles of commerce that here
tofore have been almost unknown here.
Flax-growing and nut culture are but
two of the lines In which Interest has
lately been awakened. More standing
timber remains In Oregon than In any
other state of the Union. The coal sup
ply has scarcely been touched.
Livestock Most Important Product.
Of the commodities that are dis
posed of beyond the borders of the
state, livestock holds the first place.
Hardly a week passes but one or more
tralnloads of cattle or sheep are sent
from the eastern counties to the ranges
or markets of the Middle West. With
the development of the packing indus
try In Portland, the various branches
of this business will be vastly In
creased. Lumber Is' of second Impor
tance as a wealth-producer, and the
markets for Oregon lumber are every
where. Cereals occupy third place, and
in this branch of trade Portland has
the added advantage of being In a posi
tion to handle the bulk of the ship
ments of adjoining states.
In some commodities the quantities
shipped are offset by Importations of
a similar character, principally In tha
minor farm products, but this will be
remedied as the country population
grows.
On the whole, the record that Oregon
Is making this year as a shipper of
diversified products is a most gratify
ing one. and shows what the future
holds In store when development work
now under way has made further progress.

DUCK "SOPHS" IN STREAM
All-XIght Riot Said to Be Incited by
Koosevelt's Son-in-Law Mayor,
Furious, Talks of Call- -tag
Out Militia.
CHAMPAIGN, III.. Oct. 2. (Special.)
Wild with rage. Mayor Blaine, of Cham
paign, early this morning pulled his re
volver and fired at a University of Illi
nois student with whom the Mayor had
been having a hand-to-hand combat. The
executive's aim was poor and the stu
dent, one of a large party engaged in
hazing freshmen, escaped unscathed.
"I will shoot to kill the next time,
said Mr. Blaine. "The militia ought to
be called out."
The gun play was one of the features
of a melee between the sophomore band
and the local police, resulting in the ar
rest of five student. L. B. Smith, B. M.
Benton, E. A. Stroud, H. A. Tupper and
G Wilcox, who were fined In the Cham
paign police court today by Magistrate
Rogerson. after they had entered pleas
of guilty to disorderly' conduct and re
sisting officers. The Mayor, censured
by some, says that President James
asked the authorities to arrest all
students misconducting themselves at all.
Wednesday Congressman Nick Long
worth, addressing the students, put him
self on record as approving mild forms
of hazing, and relating incidents In his
college days at Harvard before the ad
miring students. University authorities
are inclined to regret that the President's
son-in-law so expressed himself, in view
of this morning's melee. It is hinted
that Mr. Longworth's words might have
been a spur.
This morning many first-year men
were ducked in the boneyard stream, a
custom always rigorously and sternly
banned by the faculty. Masked, the
sophs pursued their occupation until the
Mayor and police descended on them.
An Insulting proclamation posted by
the freshmen is declared to have caused
the outbreak. The "proc" read:
"Yield. 1911. Beheaded, babbling,
boozy, bow-legged, beany bums, beaten
by the brainy, bountiful class of 1912.
Stupid, silly sophs, sneak before the
snappy, stylish. strong, staunch and .up-to-date
class of 1912.;'
- 8ophomores resented . the Imputation
and the riot began last evening and con
tinued all night.
SiftS OIL AT MEDFOBD
C. H. PIERCE STARTS EXCITE
MENT BV DISCOVERY.
Said to Have Brought OH to Surface
by Lowering Can 300 Feet
Down Well Bore.
MEDFORD, Or., Oct. 2. (Special.)
Excitement prevailed on the streets
and in public places this evening, when
it became known that oil had been
struck two and one-half miles east of
Medford. Many persons made haste to
purchase property in this district, but
found that others had secured options
and bought up everything in the neigh
borhood. C. H. Pierce Is the owner of SOO
acres where the oil discovery has been
made. About six weeks ago he started
to bore for what he then stated was
water, but which he now states was In
the hopes of getting oil. He secured
the services of H. A. Troxel. an experi
enced driller, and put down an eight
Inch well. At a depth of 60 feet a fair
supply of water was struck, but as the
contract called for 600 feet the drilling
was continued. .
Last Friday night at a depth of
nearly 300 feet It was noticed that
there was oil on the drill and the fol
lowing night, at a depth of 305 feet,
Mr. Pierce let down a can attached to
a wire, and when he pulled it to tha
surface found It full of oil. He re
peated this several time, getting oil
everv time.
The oil reaches to within 63 feet of
the top of the well. Several experts
are said to have made an examination
of this well and the oil and are of
the opinion that the well will turn out
to be a regular gusher, tor some time
past It had been suspected that there
was ull In this vicinity. It could be
seen coming out of the ground in small
quantities at a spring north and east
of where this well Is located. About
a year ago G. Miller sunk a well to a
depth of 115 feet on the east edge of
the city, but could not use the water
because of the oil taste.

About 20 prominent merchants in this
city will be arrested tomorrow by the
chief of police In pursuance of orders
of Mayor Rodgers that violators of the

last night, when sweated, and swore
he would kill the man who caused his

GANBY FAIR DRAWS 10
OREGOX CITY DAY ATTRACTS
LARGE CROWD FROM CITY.
Display of Farm Products Source of
Wonder to Visitors Farmers
Crowd Field and Racetrack.
CANBY, Or., Oct. 2. (Special.) More
than 3000 people were on the grounds
of the Clackamas County Fair Associa
tion today. The attendance was far
greater than was anticipated by the
fair officials, and was due partly to the
perfect weather and in no small meas
ure to the fact that this was Oregon
City day and nearly 1000 people came
from the county seat to make their day
a notable one and boost for old Clack
amas and her fine products' that fill
the big pavilion. The display of prod
ucts of the soil are amazing In variety
and quality, though not so numerous
as last year, due to the recent frost
and the general backward condition of
agriculture. Mammoth vegetables and
luscious fruits attracted wide attention.
This is the first time that the county
fair has been held at Canby, where
The grounds embrace 40 acres of the
Walt tract, and besides the pavilion
there is space for the livestock and
poultry and a half-mile racetrack. The
place is well adapted for fairgrounds,
as there Is plenty of room and the site
is located well within reach of a rich
and thickly settled farming district.
The stock parade was held this
morning. There are more horses and
better horses than last year. The after
noon's programme opened with a ball
game between Canby and the Spantons
of Portland, Canby winning by a score
of 16 to 0. Knight pitched a no-hit
game for the home aggregation. The
players and their positions were:

with a special programme. The main
speaker will be Dr. James Wlthycombe,

MURDER TRIAL ON AT BAKER
Man Accused of Killing Best Friend
In Saloon Quarrel.
BAKER CITY, Or., Oct. 2. (Special.)
In ' the Circuit Court today all interest
centered in the Trapp murder case. Some
six weeks ago. the accused shot to death
one Slim Jasperson. in a saloon in Hunt
ington. The case created a great deal of
Interest from the fact that there has
never been disclosed the least motive
for the killing.
The men were friends, and never had
quarreled. On the day of the killing they
met in a saloon and had a conversation
which to all appearances was of a friend
ly character. Accused left the saloon and
in a few minutes returned and shot Jas
person dead. He was disarmed and went
out into a nearby bush and lay down
and slept
The work of empaneling a jury was in
progress when court adjourned. Tlie
father of the accused man. a lumber deal
er of Missouri, and an uncle from Poca
tello. Idaho, are In the city watching
tha trial.
PRINCIPLES NOT AFFECTED
Aviator Says Wilbur Wright's Acci
dent Already Forgotten.
NEW TORK, Oct. 2. Octave Chanute,
the aviator, has returned to New York
from Washington, and is making ar
rangements for the contests to be held
at Morris Psrk for prises offered by him.
Mr. Chanute was a close observer of
all the flights made at Fort Myer by
Orville Wright, and was present when
the deplorable accident happened to the
Wright machine.
"In the aeronautic world the accident
has already been forgotten insofar as it
exerts any detrimental influence upon
the progress of the science, said Mr.
Chanute. ' "Such an accident would not
happen in juet that manner once In a
lifetime. The principles in aviation are
in no wtee affected, 'and the only effect
of it will be to make for greater care In
the mechanical and construction of ma
chinas." Mr. Chanute said he believed the suc
cessful aeroplane of . the . future should
be one capable of holding at least three
passengers. '
"For Army and Naval purposes, he
said, "it would seem that three men are
indlepensable, one to operate the ma
chine, one to make observations and one
to communicate important information.
This would be done by means of wig
wagging or wireless telegraphy. Of
course, an aeroplane could hardly receive
wireless messages, but I think messages
might readily be sent from the aeroplane,
and this outfit would not add much to the
weight of the machine."
WRITES T.TO DR. RUST!
LETTER FROM MRS. RICE READ
IX COURT.
Tells About Her Baby and Then
Says It Is a Joke Davis
Falls to Appear.
OMAHA, Oct 2. New features were
Injected Into the Dr. Frederick Rustin
murder mystery today, when Mrs. Ab
bie Rice was placed on the witness
stand in the District Court to answer
questions propounded by the Insurance
companies In which Rustin held policies.
It developed that while Mrs. Rice was
sick at a hospital and was being at
tended by Dr. Rustin. a strange man
visited her a number of times and sent
her flowers and candy. Mrs. Rice in
troduced this man as her uncle, but on
the stand today admitted that he was
not related to her in any way. She
said his given name was "Jesse," but
that she did not know his surname.
Another peculiar feature was a letter
from Mrs. Rice to Rustin, found in
Rustin's papers, after his death. This
letter was dated April 7, 1908. and in
thanking Dr. Rustin for kindness while
a patient, said:
"My baby is doing nicely and grow
ing fast. My husband joins me In send
ing his best regards." .
"That letter about the baby was only
a joke," said Mrs. Rice in an interview
this afternoon. "There never was any
baby. I have never been a mother. It
was all a joke between Dr. Rustin and
myself..
"Nor did my .husband ever send Dr.
Rustin his regards. I have not seen
my husband for more than a year. That
sending of regards was all a Joke, too."
A list of questions had been submit
ted to the court for answers from
Charles E. Davis, charged with the
Rustin murder, but Davis failed to
appear.

BABY FIRST TO GO ABOARD
DETAILS OF RESCUE OF SURVI
VORS OF STEAMER AEON.
Chinese Crew Mutinied and Armed
Guard Had to Be Kept Over
Them Bay and Right.
MELBOURNE Oct. 2. The cable has
just brought forth details of the rescue
of the castaways from the British ship
Aeon, who spent nearly two months on
Christmas Island, an almost barren coral
formation in the Pacific Ocean, whence
they were taken several days ago by
the steamer Manuka and conveyed to
Suava, Fiji Islands.
Mrs. Patrick and her little baby girl,
who was born under such novel sur
roundings, were the first of the cast
aways to be taken aboard the Manuka.
Mrs. Patrick is the wife of Chaplain B.
R. Patrick, U. 8. N. ' The infant was
fed on the milk of the Aeon's goat
which was saved from the wreck of the
steamer. The work of transferring
mother and child from the shore to the
ship was difficult because of a -choppy
sea. . .
The castaways had plenty of provisions
and found good water on the island. The
Chinese crew of the Aeon mutinied and
looted the wreck. - .While on Christmas
Island they refused to work and it was
necessary for the white members of the
party always to keep armed guard over
them.

Pills for sick headache, I concluded to
try the Nervine. During June, 1806, I
gave him a teaspoonful three times a
day, then in July I gave It as directed,

medicine since Jan.-07. I am writing
the case just as It is hoping It will
Induce others to try It."
