Lay Plans to Defeat
Governor.
MEET IN WILLAMETTE HOTEL
Speaker McArthur Not Among
Those Attending.
CHAMBERLAIN IS ACCUSED
4Sald to stc Started Bribery Stories
to Hold Statement Men In Line.
Plans of Opposition Are
Kept Strictly Secret.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.) Al
though the election of United States
Senator Is not as yet an open topic In
official affairs of the Oregon Legisla
ture, prlvato discussion of it enters In
to all affairs." Not a move Is made but
It la examined for its possible bearing
on the scnator&hlp.
Tonight, in Willamette Hotel, the
antl-Chamberlaln forces held a caucus
for discussion of the situation. It has
been Intimated that Influences from
Washington might be expected to lend
a hand for defeat of Chamberlain, but
this matter is oald not to have been
brought up- The talk teas confined to
expressions from anti-Chamberlain men
as to the manner in which they would
stand for election of a Republican
Senator.
Steering Committee, Xamed.
The result of the meetly was the ap
pointment of a steering committee con
sisting of 6enator Coffey. Senator F. J.
Dlller, Representative McCue and Repre
sentative .Mahoney, which will canvass
the situation and determine on a course
of procedure.
Foes of Chamberlain feel quite sure
that they can at least compel him to
resign the Governorship, should plans
against his election as Senator rail. The
demand for this concession from him Is
spread In numerous parts of the state
ment Republican camp. But Chamber
lain's opponents are unwilling to dis
cuss that outcome, since thereby they
would admit Inability to dfeat him
for Senator. It Is fair to say. however,
that no progress has been made toward
defeating him. at least there has been
no move. That such a move will be
made there Is little doubt, but It Is
not likely to be revealed until the end
of this week or the beginning of next.
McArtlinr Xot in Attendance.
Possessing the organization of both
houses of the Legislature, Chamber
Iain's foes assert they are In position
to make a fight at the right Juncture.
Chamberlain's supporters, however,
look upon Speaker McArthur with con
siderable satisfaction. They point out
that he did not attend tonight's caucus
of the opposition. They cite that Mc
Arthur Is bound up to several State
ment One members, notably Abbott
and Clemens, who are steadfast Cham
berlain adherents. To these two men
McArthur Is said to be obliged to give
especial recognition In charmanships.
Abbott being slated for head of the
House committee on ways and means.
It is hinted on the Statement side that
McArthur is so far tied to the Statement
forces as to hamper his freedom of action
In the contest against Chamberlain.
Speaker McArthur Is reported Nto have
pledged himself before the organisation
that he would not use the Speakership to
beat Chamberlain. If this is true. It will
cause much disappointment in the anti
Chamberlain ranks, since they elected him
Speaker for the purpose of electing a Re
publican Senator.
Blame Chamberlain for Stories.
Chamberlain's opponents charge his
forces with starting report of a "sacK
and bribes In order to scare Statement
legislators into line. Said Ralph Williams
tonight. National committeeman for Ore
gon, and leader of the fight on Chamber
lain: The bribe stories are absurd and are
started by the. Chamberlaffi people to
Intimidate leclslators who want a Re
publican elected Senator and are willing
to assist with their votes. There Is no
sack and will not be any. If there were
any I would certainly be In the best
position to know about It.
"These sack etories are given out for
political effect, and I think this Is evi
dent on their face. The Chamberlain
Bourne peuple are setiinc on our track
hired spies. One of them, a fellow named
Bernstein, we put out of the Repub
lican caucus Sunday n'sht. Next day he
was telling sack stories and saying that
he was a sack agent. He is the same
fallow who victimized an Italian out of
t-W by signing Governor Chamberlain's
name to a receipt for that amount and
promising to Issue a commission for no
tary public."
Both houses will adjourn Thursday
until. Monday. Tuesday is the day fixed
by law for balloting for United States
Senator.

Not Moved by Trifles. -

ex-chairman of the executive committee
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
road Company, was on the stand all day
In the Union Pacifio merger hearing be
fore United States Special Examiner
Sylvester G. Williams.
He was a most interesting witness, and
told In detail the story of B. H. Harri
man's entry Into the Atchison directorate
through men the latter named, after
Mr. Harrlman had fought to stop the
Atchison extension Into California.
Mr. Morawitz testified that In the Sum
mer of 1902, the Santa Fe decided to ex
tend the system west to San Francisco
Bay, and entered negotiations to purchase
stock of the California & Northwestern.
While trying to accomplish this, the stock
passed to the Southern Pacific.
Stock Deal Follows Quarrel.
Mr. Morawltx continuing his testimony
regarding Harrlman's negotiations with
the Atchison, said:
"Mr. Harrlman objected strenuously to
tha terms demanded, and the contest for
the location to be occupied by the Phoe
nix & Eastern lines took place because
he was unwilling to accept the terms.
"About September, 1904, I was Informed
by Mr. Harrlman that he and some as
sociates had purchased 300.000 shares of
Atchison stock. He nsked for representa
tion to the Union Pacific or any rival
railroad company.
"Mr. Harrlman declared interference
with the Atchison wasvnot contemplated;
that he and other gentlemen Individually
had bought stock of the Atchison, as a
private Investment.
"These were, Mr. Rogers, William
Rockefeller. Mr. Stillman, Mr. Schiff, or
his firm. Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Adjust Differences First.
"I said I would not consent to repre
sentation ihtll our differences were ad
justed. Mr. Harrlman urged that the

SANTA FE FINED
BY STATE BOARD
CALIFORNIA COMMISSION EN
FORCES RATE LAW.
Carried Oil Below the Legal Rate.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
Convicted fot Discrimination.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12. The Santa
Fe Railroad Company was found guilty
before the State ' Railroad Commission
today of carrying oil shipments between
Bakersfield and this city at a lower rate
than that fixed by state law and fined
$0000 by unanimous vote of the commis
sioners. The company was also adjudged
guilty on six other counts charging un
just rate discrimination, but no penalty
was fixed.
The specific charge on which the com
missioners acted was that the railroad
company had carried oil shipments from
Bakersfield to this city for the Associated
Oil Company at 25 cents a barrel,
whereas the legal rate fixed by the board,
is 37.8 cents a barrel. '
The board also found the Southern Pa
cific Company guilty of rate discrimina
tion on six counts, but no penalty was
fixed, as the board declared no proper
legal foundation for the procedure- had
been laid by the previous board of com
missioners. MEDFORD STILL AN OASIS
Prohibition Defeated in Southern
Oregon Town hy Decisive Vote.
MEDFORD, Or., Jan. 12. (Special.)
In the liveliest election ever held In this
city prohibition was defeated. Both
sides have worked hard during the cam
palgfin. but so quietly was the matter
carted on that neither side would venture
this morning to make a guess as to the
outcome.
Medford by Its remarkable charter
giving it the right to govern its political
affairs which charter was sustained by
the Supreme Court of the state, had re
mained the only "oasis" in the south
part of the state. The prohibitionists
firmly believed that a vote of the people
would decide the matter for some time,
and fully confident, of the outcome in(
their favor, they entered the campaign.
. The vote was the largest In the history
of the city on a city question, 925 votes
being cast.
W. H. Cannon was elected Mayor, John
Demer, V. J. Emerick and E. A. Welch
were elected Councllmen. Prohibition
was defeated by 127 majority and the at
tempt to amend the charter to make it
comply with the local option law was de
feated by a majority of 170.

LACKS MAJORITY IN SENATE
Spaulding Stays Out and Joint
Ballot Is Needed.
SECRET MOVES ARE MADE
Ailshie's Friends Expected to Be

Pledges Have Been Satisfied
to a Certain Extent.
BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 12. (Special.) The
Senatorial situation tonight is decidedly
mixed and there are persistent rumors
that Senator Heyburn will not be elected
when a Joint ballot is taken tomorrow
noon.
The Legislature balloted on the Sena
torshlp today In separate houses. In the
House Heyburn received the 44 Repub
lican votes. The Democrats divided their
votes, five being cast for Stockslager and
four for Judge W. W. Woods, of Wal
lace. In the Senate, however, when the roll
was called prior to the balloting for
Senator, Spaulding of Kootenai and,
Haisht of Cassia were not present. Prior
to the ballot being taken Halght came
in, and after Heyburn had been nomi
nated named Congressman Burton L,
French for the Senate. The vote in the
Senate was: Heyburn, 11; French, 1;
Stockslager, 8; Woods, 2. Heyburn re
ceiving but 11 of the 23 votes in the
Senate, It will be necessary to take a,
ballot at the joint session tomorrow.
Convention Pledge Satisfied.
After the ballot this morning it quickly
became apparent that the absence of
Spaulding from the Senate was in
furtherance of s plan, .the hope being
entertained that If the contest was
'thrown into the joint session, the claim
that the convention pledge had been
satisfied when the members had voted
for Heyburn would meet with sufficient
credence and enough members could be
drawn from Heyburn to prevent his elec
tion. An effort to accomplish this has been
made throughout the afternoon and even
ing, andi is still In progress. So far as
can be learned this effort has failed.
Just who the break Is Intended to benefit
is somewhat of a mystery.
Ailshie Ready for Fight.
The work of opposition Is apparently
being engineered by Secretary of State
Lansdon, and a claim Is made that
Justice Ailshie of the Supreme. Court

plosion of gas In the Lick branch colliers
today snuffed out more than 100 lives.
In these same mines two weeks ago to
a day, E0 miners were killed' by a slmilai
explosion. A sound like thunder rever
berated along the miles of corridors and
air passages crowded with those who
work in the mine.
From the mine mouth belched forth a
great volume of flame, soot, dust and
debris, heavy timbers, broken mlno cars
and even a massive motor. Terrorized
women and children rushed to the mine
mouth and implored those there to allow
them to aid in the effort to save their
loved ones, who might be still alive
within.
Rescuers Driven Back.
Mine Foreman Bowers, who was neat

but managed to crawl out safely, as also
did Robert Smith, a miner. A rescue
party rushed Into tho mines and tried
to save a miner named Halllday, who
was hurled back by the blast. They were
driven back by the deadly 'fumes of the
after-gases, and were compelled to leave
him to his fate.
From 60 to 80 men were thought to
be In the damaged section of the mine.
Debris from the explosion of two weeks

men were engaged In this work. Nine
teen contract miners with their crews
were at work in a new entry, and it is
feared all these were lost.
Was Declared Safe.
