Spokane Man Iiikcly to Be Selected

cancy" Cheerless Trip
Back to Olympla.
SEATTLE. Wash., May 3. (Special.)
Sam H. Nichols, Secretary of State, has
announced his Intention to resign from
office. His announcement was made both
at Seattle and at Olympia today. Fol
lowing the advice of his closest friends,
the Secretary, broken In spirit and fac
ing chances of impeachment for alleged
malfeasance, in office, belligerent almost
to the last, heeded his friends and before
Wednesday next lils resignation will be
in the hands of Governor Hay.
K. K. Irwin May Get Job.
As a probable successor to Nichols, it
is likely that E. K. Irwin, of Spokane,
will be chosen to fill the unexpired term
of Nichols. Irwin was a candidate in the
direct primary for State Treasurer and
it was many. days before the exact result
was known between himself and the suc
cessful man. J.1 G. Iewis. so close was
the vote. It is known that Governor
Hay at this time favors Irwin, but the
Governor is not In a position to announce
the successor to the Secretary of State
until formal tender of the resignation is
made. .
In direct contract to the position
taken by the Secretary of State and ex
Insurance Commissioner, the present
Commissioner, J. H. Schively, declined
to be swerved from his announced In
tention not to resign, fearing that
should he do so he would be a target
for his bondsmen, who might give him
tip pending the Spokane grand Jury in
vestigation. Schively Much Perturbed.
But Mr. Schively is in a great state
of perturbation. His conference at
Everett Sunday night with the Secre
tary of State availed him nothing, both
the Secretary of State and Schively
positively declined to be swerved by
their friends and no compromise could
be reached. Schively told Nichols
that the Secretary of State uttered
falsehoods and the Secretary of State
was as positive that the Insurance
Commissioner was badly mistaken.
Neither would give In, and it has be
come a matter of common knowledge
that only for the persistence of the
daughter of the Secretary of State,
Nichols would not have relinquished
his office.
From Everett to Olympia today was a
cheerless trip for the Secretary of State.
He had not Intended to say anything con
cerning his resignation, but when ques
tioned at the train here he could not re
sist the temptation to state that if he
were 15 years younger he would put up a
fight.
Would Fight if He Were Younger.
From Seattle on to Olympia he was
more cheerful, and made no concealment
of his intention to resign. Mrs. Nichols
accompanied him. Immediately upon his
arrival in Olympia he was met at the
train by Assistant Secretary of State
Ben Fish and later Attorney-General
Bell. Secretary Nichols offered his
Olympia home for sale for $4000.
"Yes," he said. "I am going to resign.
Although I am guilty of no crime, I am
an old man, and my children want me to
get out of politics; but if I were 15 years
younger I'd stay."
The Secretary's eyes flashed and then
he relapsed into a reminiscence of the
time when he was elected Republican
Mayor of St. Paul over a normal Demo
cratic vote of 10.000 majority.
As a preliminary step to making his
life easy In the twilight of his political
career, the- retiring Secretary has pur
chased two lots in Everett where he will
build and be near his daughter. He will
leave the Secretary of State's office In
Independent circumstances.

Xlchols" Successor.
OLYMPIA. Wash., May 3. (Special.)
Following the return this evening of
Secretary of State Sam H. Nichols and
his confirmation of the report he intends
to resign, gossip is rife concerning who
will be appointed his successor by Gov
ernor Hay.
Ex-Governor Albert B. Mead will be
offered the appointment as Secretary of
Ftat. when Sam H. Nichols resigns, if
plans of some of his local and other
friends are carried out.
E. K. Irwin, of Spokane, who nearly de
feated J. G. Lewis for the Republican
nomination for State Treasurer, is also
being heavily backed locally.

Says He Was Hounded for Money
Continually by Men Whom He
Had Fleeced.
CHICAGO, May 3. Peter Van Vlissen
gen, theformer real estate man serving
a sentence for forgery amounting to
11,600.000, completed the story of his 20
years of crime before Referee In Bank
ruptcy Wean today. Van Vlissengen
was questioned as to his relations with
Bernard Rosenberg and Maurice Rosen
feld, the Chicago financiers who, he de
clared, forced him to carry on more for
geries in order to pay back what he had
fleeced from them.
He named several men by whom he
had told Rosenberg and Rosenfeld he
was . victimized. "Rosenfeld particularly
was hounding me to death for money,"
said Van Vlissengen. "I was getting it
faster than was safe for any of us."
"Did you tell Rosenberg and Rosen
feld how you made the forgeries and
about the electric light system you
used?"
"Yes."
"How much forged paper did you re
deem between the years 1901 and 1908?"
"About Jl.000,000 in bogus paper."
"When you paid Rosenfeld and Rosen
berg money, did they return you a speci
fied paper?"
"Sometimes."
Van Vlissengen said Rosenfeld and
Rosenberg had returned to him $70,000
worth of forged paper during the last
four years.
"How much of this paper did you re
issue?" "I-don't know." r

Against Reduction In
Lumber Tariff.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-An extended
defense of the duty on lumber pro
vided in the Dingley bill waa met in
the Senate today by .Files of Washing
ton. He -was followed by Borah, who
discussed the income tax, not only de
claring that it was just, but, in view
of the divided opinion in the Supreme
Court of the United States, insisted
that it was the duty of Congress again to
submit the question of the constitution
ality of the tax to the court.
Borah referred to ex-President
Roosevelt as having shaped the desti
nies of the Republican party and said
that without his leadership "his party
would have gone out of business." He
added ' that "without continued ad
herence to these principles the party
will go out of power.",
Roosevelt Policies Remain.
"No one," he added,, "is politically so
short-Bighted or politically so blind as
the man who thinks the steamer Ham
burg carried away the policies, the prin
ciples, the public interest, the aroused
public conscience and the searching pub
lic .concern which this remarkable man
bequeathed to his countrymen.'
This statement was in connection with
a discussion of Mr. Roosevelt's suggestion
favoring a graduated " inheritance and
graduated Income tax.
Borah also quoted Mr. 'xaft's speech,
in which he spoke in favor of the income
tax.
Taft for Income Tax. '
"Does the Senator believe,' Suther
land asked, "that President Taft believed
in the constitutionality of the income
law in other words, that ha believed
that the law pronounced unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court was, in fact, con
stitutional?"
"I only know what he said to the Am
erican people when he was a candidate
for President," responded Borah, "that
he favored an income tax which could be
drawn to be made constitutional. - I am
not willing to believe that the President
believed in "drawing an Income tax law
applicable to men toiling in professions
and then exempting the vast accumulated
wealth of this Nation."
Referring to Mr. Carnegie's statement
that an income tax would encourage
perjury, Borah said:

Says Phillips and McPherson Broke
Game Laws and Are Insult
ing in Court.
"WASHINGTON, May 3. Making; ser
ious charges - against Federal Judges
John F. Phillips and Smith McPherson,
of the Western District of Missouri.
Representative Murphy of that state,
introduced a resolution today to inves
tigate their conduct in the litigation,
between the' state and railroad com
panies over the maximum freight law
and the Missouri two-cent passenger
rale law.
The Murphy resolution alleges the two
Judges accompanied certain railroad of
ficials on a fishing trip when members
of the party were arrested for violating
the game laws. The resolution charges
that Judge Phillips neglects his duty by
continued absence from the bench and
that when he does preside the court is
in session only four hours each day.
Mr. Murphy desires the general conduct
of .Judge Phillips investigated, Contend
ing he insults lawyers in his court. If a
jury brings In a verdict different from
instructions, declares the resolution.
Judge Phillips becomes insulting.
The resolution states trie two judges
rendered certain decisions which in ef
fect usurped the executive powers of the
Legislature.
PULLED FROM DEEP WELL
Teamster Saved Just as He Was
About to Sink.
To plunge' into a well and then be
rescued at the moment he was about
to give up . his struggle for life was
the experience of Harry Bickford Sat
urday at Kelso, on the Mount Hood
road. 24 miles from Portland. Bick
ford was hauling wood and as he was
passing an old well under a shed in
the premises of F. G. Jonsrud, he left
his wagon to draw some water. As he
was letting the bucket down, the
wooden platform over the well gave
way under his weight and he shot
down Into the deep water.
It was impossible to get out and
only with difficulty could Bickford
keep his head above water. After call
ing for help for some time he was
heard by John Xleinsmith, who hap
pened to be passing, just in the nick
of time. He pulled out Bickford. who
was nearly exhausted when he reached
the top of the well. '

Scene of Titanic Struggle.
KOOSKIA. Idaho, May 3. (Special.)
Strenuous1 times are ahead of the rival
surveyors engaged in playing a game of
hide and seek in the Clearwater "Valley.
If an armed conflict is averted it will
surprise citizens of Kooskia. The North
ern Pacific forces are working with fever
ish energy. Oregon Railroad & Naviga
tion men are none the less active. They
are camped some distance apart, but
pickets, spies and skirmish bands are In
the field day and night, week-day and
Sunday.
Holman of the O. R. & N. led a crew
clear through the Middle Fork over the
Lolo Pass to Missoula two years ago and
is familiar with the ground. Several eve
nings last week engineers departed hur
riedly from Kooskla early in the eve
ning and were followed by some mem
ber of the opposing forces.
The O. R. & N. engineers are pushing
on up the Lochsa with unfeigned haste,
while the Northern Pacific engineers are
working rapidly on a survey along the
south bank of the Middle Pork. Whether
the Hill forces have definitely decided to
abandon the North Pork to the Harriman
engineers is conjectural.
The .only great advantage to the North
Bank is said to be the fact that there is
a good wagon road part of the way and
a trail the balance, as far as the mouth
of the ljochsa. If " the "two rival crews
meet in conflict it will probably be at
some point up the Lochsa. The Hill
forces are using McDaniels mule pack
train of 40 animals, while the Harriman
engineers have employed William Perry,
who. has almost 30' horses in service.
Each party numbers -almost 40 men, and
others . are constantly arriving.
That construction work will begin in
less than six months is freely predicted
by Kooskia friends of camp followers,
and the gossip of the employes tends to
show that the war. has just begun. The
Northern Pacific has to build less than
126 miles of road to connect the Clear
water branch with the Missoula exten
sion, while the Harriman road must build
from Lewiston to Missoula, a distance of
200 miles.

Cracked Safe at Lebanon.
PENDLETON, Or.. May S. (Special.)
It has been fully established that two of
the men recently arrested by Sheriff Tay
lor and Deputy Sheriff Wilson for the

and who were recently released from the
State Penitentiary, after serving five-
year sentences for- that crime.

affair. The third man, James F. Kings
ley, was never captured. Dunn and Cross-
ley, together with Michael Burke, the

FLUSHING. N. Y.. May 3. The third
weeks of the Hains trial opened here to
day and some startling testimony re
garding the relations of Claudia Hains
with William E. Annts. who was killed
by the woman's husband. Captain Peter
C. Hains. was brought out.
Emma Lavelle, a colored domestic em
ployed in Captain Hains" home during
1907 and 1908. was called by the defense.
She had met Captain Hains with his
brother Thornton at Fort Hamilton In
June, 1908, the witness said.
"I told Thornton Hains that I saw Mr.
Annis in Captain Hains' home with his
arms around Mrs. Hains and kissing her."

finity.' "
Annls Frequent Visitor.
The witness testified that Annis made
frequent visits to the Captain's home
while the Captain was in the Philippines.
She said:
"The way, they carried on was some
thing dreadful. They would stay up all

The witness told of a quarrel between
Mrs. Hains and Annls during which Mrs.
Hains said: "To with your wife.
Am I not more to you than she is?" to
-which.Annis replied, "Yea, in a way."
The witness said while she was relating
these things to Captain Hains the muscles
of his face were drawn and he glared
and said:
Hains Froths at Tales. .
"MjGod, . what am I coming to?
This is enough to drive a man mad.
I can't stand it."
Referring to the trip which Mrs.
Hains "took to the mountains" during
her husband's absence in the Philip
pines, the witness said:
"If one of her children had died
we would not .have known where to
find the mother."
