STEADY HAND AT HELM
Black Says Taft Will Steer Ship Into
Calm Water.
NEW YORK. Oct. 30. The college
cries as plaudits punctuaiing the ad
dresses of the speakers, and college
flags waving frantically upon thu same
frequent provocation, were the domi
nating features of a political rally held
In Carnegie Hall tonight under the aus
pices of the National Republican Col
lege League. The hall was crowded
with college men and women. The
crowd cheered vociferously at every
mention of Taft and Hughes.
Ex-Governor Black's speech was
warmly eulogistic of the candidate.
There vere passages in it, however,
that the audience evidently took for
Implied criticism of President Roose
velt and cries of disapproval were fol
lowed by a palpable effort to head off
the speaker when he seemed to the
audience to be Intending- indulgence in
further criticism of some administra
tion policies.
The cheer leaders sprang to their
chairs and with their yells spelled the
name of Roosevelt. Again and again the
name of the President was taken up and
strung Into the cheers. For several min
utes the place was in an uproar. It
gradually died down, however, and Gov
ernor Black resumed.
Another demonstration occurred when
Walter Emerson, of Portland. Me., was
Introduced, to follow Mr. Black. When
he asserted his belief that the present
administration had averted a social rev
olution In this country, the cneers that
greeted the utterance lasted two min
utes. The college yells were heard again
and most of them were, "Roosevelt,
Roosevelt."
Mr. Black was greeted with applause
when be was announced as the fourth
speaker of the evening.

Others to Be Tried.
BOSTON. Oct. 30. Officials of two of
the largest Htrurturnl uteel companies
In the city. David 11. Andrews, presidenc
of the Boston Brtdpe Works. and
Charles N. Fitts. secretary of the New
England Structural Company, pleaded

contraccs from the city of Boston. Each
paid a fine of J1000. and in addition
paid $5000 to the city for extra profits
which the two companies are said to
have derived from the contracts.
The case against the officials of five
structural companies was instituted at
the suerfrestion of the Boston Finance
Commission, whoes report was quoted
bv President Roosevelt in a message to
Congress on April 27 last, in which he
asked for more power in the prosecu
tion of suits against corporations.
As the result of the report of the
Finance Commission, five men in this
city were Indicted on charges of collu
sion. They were, in addition to Mr.
Andrews and Mr. Fltts. Duncan H.
Russell, treasurer of the James Rus
sell Boiler Company; Charles F. Koop
man, president of the Cunningham
Iron Works, and John V. Lynch, treas
urer of the Hodge Boiler Company.
Andrews and Fitts were charged with
conspiracy in submitting bids for the
construction of two bridges, agreeing
that they would divide the profits If
either received a ccn tract. Th indict
ments against the other three officials
are still pending.

ator the candidate with the highest
vote violated the constitution of the
state. In that it added another oath,
declaration and test as a qualification
for office. In deciding the case the
Supreme Court holds that the constitu
tional objection was properly raised
and that legislative candidates cannot
be compelled to support the popular
choice for Senator. The court holds
further, however, that those provisions
of the law providing a method by
which electors may designate their
choice for Senator is valid and oper
ative regardless of the invalidity of the
pledge.
Judge Spalding dissented, contending
that It Is illegal to hold the Senatorial
primary election at the time of the gen
eral election, for the reason that the
Legislature failed to provide for the
preservation of parties and provided no
protection by which the participation in
the primary nominating election of one
party by the members of another could
be prevented.
PARALI.EL CASE TO OREGON'S
Compulsory Pledse Adopted in June
Open to Same Objections.
The provisions of the Oregon prim
ary law relating to the popular in-
j dorsement of Senator, differ only
I slightly from those of the North Da
j kota statute. As originally adopted.
the primary law in tnis state permuted
legislative candidates voluntarily to
subscribe to either of two pledges or
"statements." but that course was en
tirely optional with the legislative
aspirant. He could sign Statement
No. 1. which obligated him to support
for Senator the candidate receiving the
greatest number of votes In the gen
eral election preceding the session of
the Legislature when a Senator should
be elected. The other statement pre
sented in the primary law pledges the
legislator subscribing to It to support
for Senator the candidate of his party
receiving the greatest number of votes
In the general election Immediately
preceding the election of Senator by
the State Legislature.
However- the fact is the electors
of this state last June adopted a law
expressly Instructing and directing
members of tiie Legislature to vote
for the people's choice for Senator.
A great many politicians discussed the
subject yesterday after hearing of the
North Dakota decision and insisted
that the measure adopted in this state
last June is open to the same objec
tions that were raised against the
North Dakota law. which has been de
clared unconstitutional In that regard.
The 'text of the instruction amend
ment adopted in this state, and which
makes compulsory the support of the
people's choice for Senator by mem
bers of the Legislature, is as follows:
'That we. the people of the State
of Oregon, hereby instruct our Repre
sentatives and Senators In our Legis
lative Assembly, as such officers, to
vote for and elect the candidates for
United States Senator from this state
who receive the highest number of
votes at our general elections."
It is argued by those who have. in
vestigated the subject that under the
findings of the North Dakota Supreme
Court. the foregoing instruction
amendment in this state is Just as ob
jectionable from a constitutional view
point as that feature of the North
Dakota statute which has been held
invalid.

The illumination of the fleet this even

admiration among the Chinese. One hun

were entertained at dinner by the im

The dining-room was beautifully deco

celebration planned for the reception
of the American sailors will be held,
and the resentment at the severe meas

cause of apathy shown. The British

that the local officials have declined to

: WANTS TO SAVE EXPENSE
Sumpter Road Xot Under Inter
state Commission, Is Claim.
BAKER CITY. Or., Oct. 30. (Spe
cial.) Officers of the Oregon Lumber
I company, in inis i ny, say mtii me
tion begun against the company in
j this state by the Interstate Commerce
I Commission is in reality a suit to de
J termine the matter of jurisdiction of
i the Interstate Commission over the
1 Sumpter Valley Ilaiiroad. The suit
charges the Oregon Lumber Company
with failure to use safety appliances
on the company's railway in Oregon.
Representatives of the Interstate
Commerce Commission visited this city
some time ago and contended that the
railway should maintain the safety ap
pliances provided by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The railway
company contends that it is not an
Interstate railway,, and is not subject
to any control of the Commission.
The Oregon Lumber Company con
tends that to change the appliances on
between 400 and 500 cars to comply
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission act means a very large ex
penditure, which can be saved if the
result of the litigation now begun will
establish the fact that the road is not
in the Jurisdiction of the Commission.

Young German's Body Found
in Lonely Canyon.
BULLET-HOLE IN HEAD
Old .School male Stumbles on Body
AVliile Hunting Member of
Wealthy Family, He Prob
ably Committed Suicide.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30. The body of
Fred C. Ammonn. 21 years of ase. and
son of wealthy parents, at the present
time in Germany, was found today in
a clump of bushes in Classen Canyon, a
mile from his home in the suburb of
Hollywood, with a bullet hole through
the head. It had evidently been there
for many months and was nearly de
voured by coyotes. It is believed to
have been a case of suicide.
The young man disappeared last July
and had not been seen since. The dis
covery was made by Emil Le Becque, a
former schoolmate of Ammonn, while
he was hunting quail in the canyon.
Le Becque saw a quail fly into the
clump of bushes and, peering around
looking for the game, found the body
of his friend.
The family of Ammonn is very weal
thy. - It is a German family of nu
merous members and had resided in
Hollywood several years. More than
a year ago the family sold out its prop
erty in California and returned to Ger
many, Fred Ammonn included.
A few months later the young man
returned to Southern California alone
and secured employment at Long Beach
In an orchestra as violinist. He left
there last July and was not seen again
until today, when his body was found.
