MORE EXPOSURES COMING Crand Jury Inquiry Expected to Drive Out Many Oitizc-ns Harper ' Declares Earl Tricked Him and Mill Teli All. LOS ANGELES, Cel.. March IB. (Spe cial.) William D. Stephens was elected Mayor today by the Ctty Council "to serve until the qualification of the person who receives the highest number of votes at the election to be held on the 26th day of March. 1909." Within an hour from the time Mr. Stephens had been worn in as Mayor, it wsa announced Z a yB or bo,h the recall, and the regular Republican organizations that the eieotlfm was UleBal and that the courts would be called upon at once to straighten the tangle. Will Contest Election. Kdwln J. Meserve and W. J. Hansak'er. leaders of the local bar. have been en Rased by the recall and Republican or Kanizatlnna respectively to conduct the court proceedings. Both admit that there ta no charter provision under which the Council has authority to name a Mayor for any other length of time than "to fill the unexpired term" of his prede cessor. City Attorney Leslie R. Hewitt read an opinion before the Council when today s !lon opened declaring that the recall Election must (so on. and that the candi date then elected should be seated as Mayor of the city. Acting on this opinion, the Council elected Mr. Stephens. Mr Hewitt has not yet admitted that he was ronK. ""t many of the more prominent attorneys of the city on both sides dis agree with him. Will Not Change Officials. Mr. Stephens is ex -president of the Chamber of Commerce of this city and a inemtrer of a iirm of grocers. The oath of oftlce was administered to him ten minutes after his selection and by 11 o'clock he waH seated in the Mayor's chair, familiarizing himself with the duties of his new office. Kxpected resignation of city officials appointed by Harper were not offered. It was recognized that the new Mayer, Blnce he has but a brief time to serve would not care to burden the next ad ministration, with appointments whVh would hold for two years, and so the res! sunt ions will bo handed in after the man elected at the recall electton on March 26 takes offlre. Orantl Jury Promises Sensation. The special prand Jury panel was drawn today and win begin the In vestigation of charges against E. T Earl, Harper and others, on Wednes day. Sensational developments are promised from this investigation, and It is common talk in the streets that a number of citisens heretofore un tnentloned In connection with the mass of charge and oounter-oharges will find it convenient to leave town. Har per's conduct will be Investigated! as to alleged gTaft and maladministration,, while the investigation of Mr. Earl will be along the line of compounding a felony in making a deal with Harper to suppress information of crooked ness in case of his resignation. Harper Will Tell All Ho Knows. Harper was discovered yesterday at Corcoran, where he has an Interest in a sugar factory. He issued a statement bit terly scoring Mr. Karl and deolarlng his resignation a most st upend uo us blunder The ex-Mayor is crushed, broken in spirtU "I will return to Los Angeles to tell the grand Jury all," he said, "though I had intended never to sot foot In the town . agfrtn. I can see now how basely I was tricked. Eoj-1 had long been an enemy, eager to bring about my ruin. A friend told me it was impossible to defeat Earl's purpose of putting one of his own crea tures in the Mayor's chair except by re igning. In n:y rage and resentment at that moment, I was ready to make any acritlee to defeat his schemes, and wrote my resignation. Earl Ready to Testify. In his newspaper, the Evening Express Mr. Earl says tonight that he has no dfrfre to avoid a grand Jury lnvestlga- ; tlon or any duty which the law Imposes upon him.

STEEL FIRM CUTS WAGES lmiHMuIiiifr Tariff Jtevislon Said to Depress Trade. HARRJSRl-RO. Pa.. March 15. The Pennsylvania Steel Company, one of the largest of the Independent steel compa nies In the country, has announced a re duction in wages of approximately 10 rr cent, effective April 1. The order a'.ated that the reduction would be made pending a return of normal biisinosui conditions." It was somewhat of a sur prise to the 60CO employes. Nine thou sand men are employed at the plant when it is running full time. J- V. W. Reindeers, vice-president of the company, tonight said: "Wage reductions on the part of the various steel interests have recently ap peared In the papers and others are in contemplation. Throughout the year 1908 our wages and salaries were maintained on a high level, although the steel trade was passing through, a depression which In its Intensity was more severe than anything else that has occurred since the early '90s. "Until December last the Indications tended to the likelihood of an early and well-rendered resumption of business. The prominence given to the tariff dis cussion during the public hearings of the ways and means committee, however, brought about a waiting attitude on the part of the buyers. The disappointing reduction in business and a resultant straining for orders forced the steel mar ket Into a condition of demoralisation. "Normal conditions can only, be re stored gradually after a satisfactory con clusion of the extra session of Congress and the enactment of a tariff bill drawn up with the fixed purpose of conserving the American market to Americans on a basis of American conditions and stand ards of living. "Pending the resumption of normal con ditions we must look to the loyal co operation of our employes In our efforts) to compete successfully for new business, with the hope that such efforts will has ten the time when salaries may be re stored to the old basis."

THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, MARCH 16, CONFESSES GRIME TO SAVE BROTHER James Young, Consumptive, Contradicts Former Story at Murder Trial. ONLY FEW MONTHS TO LIVE Thomas Young May Escape Convic tion for Killing of Policeman Heins by Remarkable De votion of Brother. SAN FRANCISCO. March 15. In order to save his brother Thomas from being convicted upon the charge of murder after he had accused Thomas of having fired the fatal shot, James O. Young took the witness-stand today and testified tnat It was he and not Thomas O. Young who shot and killed Policeman W. H Heins on the "barbary coast," on June ? ,of, last year. Thomas O. Young is on trial the second time for the murder of P"' tho Jury having disagreed in the nrst trial. The brothers were together when the policeman was shot in front of a saloon. After the murder, James made a signed statement charging Thomas with the crime. In the tlrst trial of Thomas, it was the prosecution's theory that James had passed his pistol to his brother and that the latter fired the fatal shot. James took the stand in Judge Dunne's court today, and after telling of having seen his brother prostrate on the side walk, declared that Heins was kicking him. "I couldn't stand that," said he, "so I let the cop have It." The prosecution declared that it did not credit the testimony of James and would not abandon the attempt to convict Thomas.

Instruc tions were given tonight by Chairman Payne to have the tariff bill sent to the Public Printer tomorrow. Indications late tonight were that the bill would not be introduced tomorrow, as it is proposed to have it printed before its presenta tion. The subcommittee decided not to report the bill until the President's mes sage had been read in the House. "I believe," said a Republican member of the ways and means committee, "that it Is best to spend another day of de liberation on the bill now to perfect de tails rather than be forced to spend a week later or have the bill delayed through any Imperfections that can be eradicated before it Is Introduced." TAJUTP C03IMISSIOX PLAGUE President or V00lgr0wer9 Thinks Board "Would Do Harm. WASHINGTON, March 15. Declaring that there is no middle ground, that either protection or free trade might rule this country, William Whitman, president. of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, in a letter to the tariff framera of Congress, replies to the arguments of the advocates of a tariff commission: "The very nature of the tariff prob lem," he says, "is imperatively formed by partisan or non-partisan considera tion, and the only way in which the tariff can be taken out of politics is by set tling the tariff question as we have ap parently settled the gold standard ques tion, and that is by defeating he free trade party so overwhelmingly at the polls that it will have to do as the free silver party has done and abandon its cause as a hopeless fraud and delusion, condemned and abhorred by the Ameri can people." "A permanent tariff commission, anx ious to Justify its existence by incessant activity." he says, "would be a veritable plague to the country's business. Presi dent Taft is right in declaring that we can have no full prosperity until the present tariff revision is completed, and after that Is done, what the business of the country wants Is absolute rest for at least 10 years from tariff agitation."

T. H, SATISFIED WTTH PAlIt Wrote Capt. Smiley That He AVasn't Looking for Droves of Elephants. SAN FRANCISCO. March 15. Cap tain A. J. Smiley, who is said to have served with the Irish' Brigade In the Boer War, says that hunting grounds where ex-President Roosevelt plans to spend his -acation are nothing but a huge game preserve, and that the hunter will have a tame time. The Captain claims to have hunted over this ground many times and asserts that the lions have been shot at so often that they have become gun shy. The Duke of Manchester, according to Captain Smiley, is said to have shot over the country which Roosevelt will travel without bagging any game. Smiley claims to have written a letter to Roosevelt, suggesting that he go to a portion of Africa where elephants oould be met in droves. Instead of pairs, as is said to be the case in the Mombasa district. Roosevelt's reply to this letter was a curt intimation that the itinerary had been made out and could not be changed. MISS MORGAN ' CATERER Banker's Daughter Undertakes tx Feed Xavy-Yard Men. NEW YORK. March 15. Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, will open a restaurant In the Brooklyn Navy yard about May 1. As chairman of a committee appointed by the New York section of the National Civic Federation, Miss Morgan has been authorised by the Government to carry out the plan, which alms to provide for the men who work in the Navy-yard better food than they can now obtain, and at less money. In a statement today Miss Morgan said: "Most of, the men at present have to go to saloons for their luncheons, we hope to show the Navy Department that the restaurant can be put on a self-supporting basis, bo that the Government will take it off our hands and perhaps estab lish others like it in ofber yards where they are equally needed. "The Government has granted the use of a warehouse 65 feet wide and 240 feet long, and 700 men can be fed without difficulty at one time." Miss Morgan's younger sister, the wife of Herbert 1. Satterlee. ex-Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Is Interested In the scheme. Mrs. E. H. Gary, wife of the chairman of the United States Steel Cor poration, is a member of the committee.

CREDrrGIVEN To Dr. Williams Pink Pills for a Thorough Cure in a Stub- , bou Case of Sciatica. A really remarkable cure of sciatica by tr. Williams' Pink Pilla is that of Mr. William H. Shine, of No. 2111 22nd avenue, South, Minneapolis, Minn Mr. Shine is employed by the Flour City Ornamental Tmn "Wr,T-t-a nnrl ; her and Oliiftf T?Vtmw n low.n j , f Modern Woodmen of America. During ! the Sioux campaign in which Sitting i Boll was killed, Mr. Shine was a member of Troop K, Sixth U. S. Cavalry. Mr. ; Shine has lived ii Minneapolis for twenty-five years. In telling recently of his cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla, I he says : I "About five years ago I was engaged In work -which required heavy lifting and I think this may possibly have been the cause of the sciatica in my case. For three montlia I was confined to bed and was sick altogether for about two years and a half. I was on crutches for about seven months. There were sharp, cutting pains from my back down to my heeL It was very painful for me to get up after I had been sitting down for a while. The cords of my foot and heel aee.mp.rl tn rimw troViAi 1 ' - UlUOULCB ' of my legs had to be rubbed before 1 I could sleep. My feet were swollen bo ' that I had to wear shoes much too large for me and I could hardly hobble along. I "I was treated by two doctors and each pronounoed my case sciatica. Neither doctor helped me much. The last doctor gave me electrio treatments three times a week for at least three months. After finding that this did not help me to any extent, I took vapor baths for about the same length of time. I followed this, with sulphur baths for : five weeks but nothing seemed to help me. I then began the use of Dr. Wil- j Hams' Pink Pills, as friend said they jiou. ncijjcu. mm. vy uea j. Degan taking the pills I was unable to work and was walking with a cane. After a .fair treatment I began to feel results from the pills. I continued using the pills until they effected a complete cure. I wish by this statement to give Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills credit for my cure. " Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatio nerve and this remedy has cured stub born cases of neuralgia in many forms. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicina Company, Schenectady, N. Y. W.

' Goose Urease No Longer Depend ed Upon Because Chamber-; Iain's Cough Remedy Is Better. ffrom the Asoblson. Kan. Daily Olobj This is the season when the woman wbe knows the beat remedies for eroDp is ia de mand in every neighborhood. One of the snost terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sore to be lost in case of burglars. Geese are not very good to eat, but they are in great demand because of their grease, which is good to put on a cloth and tie around the neck of cronpy patients. Jewish families nearly always hare goose grease on hand. Most children, when they hare croup, refuse te take the remedies offered them. The only thing to do is to hold their noses and make them take It. There used to be an old fash ioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker, and give telief in a shorter time. S. J. MORIN'S p ryi o
