BANQUET AT CENTRALIA
Excursion Spends Xight at South

ern Washington Extend Cor
dial Welcome to Guests.
BY EDGAR B. PIPER.
CENTRAUA, Wash.. May 10. (Staff
Correspondence.) The Portland business
men's excursion will rest tonicht at
South Bend, after an arduous but highly )
interesting day. The -weather has not
been all that could be desired, and the
comment has been freely made that the
OrcRonians. as an evidence of their rood
will and friendly feeling toward their
neighbors of Southern and Southwestern
Washington, also brought their own rain
with them.
But the oltisens of every town along
the route manifested their Indifference to
conditions by turning out In numbers at
every station. All said that they were
Rhid to (see the business men of Portland,
and obviously they meant It. They have
close and intimate business relations with
Portland. They know all about Portland
and they were quite well informed as to
the objects of the journey. Without ex
ception they expressed a desire for more
cnmplete commercial relations and de
. clared that they depended more particu
f larly upon Portland than on any other
Northwest city.
Merchants Extend Glad Hand.
The Oregon merchants took advantage
of every stop to visit their respective
customers and to extend the glad hand.
Nearly every one of them had been over
the ground in person heretofore, many
of them as commercial travelers. The
w-only complaint that any one had to offer
' ' was that they had had no opportunity
heretofore of seeing their visitors oftener.
The results of the day In cementing the
relations of the Washington cities with
Portland have been In the highest de
gree satisfactory. They are a good omen
of the success of the excursion during
the succeeding four days.
Vancouver Ready to Annex Portland
The train left Portland on time at 8:45
o'clock this morning. The first run over
the new Willamette and Columbia River
bridges of the North Bank Railroad was
to Vancouver, where a general commit
tee of .the Commercial Club, consisting
of President Crawford, State Senator
Kastham. J. H. Blwell, Editor Beard and
others were in waiting In automobiles. A
rapid run was made through the beauti
ful grounds of the military post and on
to the State School for the Deaf. A brief
Inspection of the plant was made, and
then the party returned to the comfort
able home of the Commercial Club. Here
a few felicitous remarks of welcome were
A made by President Crawford, and were
appropriately responded to by H. C.
Campbell. The general spirit of the re
marks of both speakers was that the re
lations between the two towns could
hardly be made more cordial and last
ing, except by annexation or consolida
tion, and Vancouver, It was said, was
ready at any time to move the Colum
bia River around to the north in order to
take in Portland as a part of its mu-r-
nlclpallty.
Glafke Gets Attention.
The next run was to Ridgefleld.
Through a misunderstanding there was
no large delegation at the station, but
W. B. Glafke, who had been designated
to be speaker at this point, nevertheless
delivered some very eloquent and telling
remarks to the assembled populace,
which consisted ' of one surprised and
pleased citisen.
At Woodland there was a stop of a
few minutes, and there was a general
outpouring of residents, headed by "J.
W. Strong, who has lived at Woodland,
where he was born, for 67 years. Mr.
Strong, who knows about such 'things,
was quite positive in the opinion that
there will be no June flood of the Colum
bia, which ought to relle-e some of the
0 worry over that possibility felt by a few
citizens in Portland.
At Kalama a very lively bond and more
citizens turned out. At Kelso there was
a formal reception by a committee com
prised of State Senator Stewart, Lawyer
Hubbell. Mr. Harris and others. In the
absence of the Mayor. Mr. Hubbell made
a very pleasing address of welcome
which was responded to In spirited 6tyle
by Tom Klcharnson.
Sopenah Extends Welcome.
At Castle Rock there was an interest
ing stay of 15 minutes and at Sopenah
members of the City Council, the City
f J Marshal and others came out to bid
Portland a word of welcome. Among
other interesting things about Sopenah it
was discovered that the town Is entirely
out of debt and has a good many hundred
dollars In its public treasury, which made
It clear that Sopenah has a most self-
denying body of public servants.
At Winlock and Napavinc there was the

OMAHA. Neb., May 10. Army balloon
No. 12. which ascended from Fort Omaha
shortly after 11 o'clock today, landed at
Jackson, Neb., at 6:45 o'clock this even
ing. In making a landing the gas bag
exploded a few feet above the ground
and was destroyed,, but neither Captain
Chandler nor Lieutenant Ware, who
made the flight, was seriously Injured.
Captain Chandler believes that at a
high altitude the gas bag became charged
with static electricity and that contact
with the earth produced, an electric spark
which set fire to the big bag.
The ascension was made from Fort
Omaha at 11:15 today. The highest alti
tude reached was 4000 feet. A breeze
carried the bag at a 30-mile gait the first
hour. Running out of ballast at Jack
son, Captain Chandler decided to make
a landing. The balloon came down In
an easy manner and then followed the
explosion.
The distance traveled was about 210
miles. The maximum ppeed was about
50 miles.

nocent of Crime.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 10. Although
Clarence W. Robnett was convicted of
subornation of perjury by the District
Court of Idaho, Judge Ross, of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals,

to, swear falsely to an affidavit at
Lewiston, Idaho, to the effect that he
had examined personally some land
which he wished to purchase under the
timber act..
Judge Ross .held that a personal ex
amination of the land was not neces
sary under a ruling of the Supreme
Court! hence the indictment charged no
crime against" the plaintiff in error.

CALLS FOR SECRET SERVICE
Both Men Prepare for State
wide Political Fight.
PATRONAGE AGAINST HAY
Washington Officials Have Habit of
Disloyalty to Men Who Give Them
- Places Struggle Began Dar
ing Term of Legislature.
OLTMPIA. Wash., May 10. (Special.)
Bitter political warfare between two rival
candidates for Governor, Land Commis
sioner E. W. Ross, of Castle Rock-Olym-pla,
and Governor M. EL Hay, of Wilbur
Spokane, appears certain. It will be a
mighty Interesting fight, and may elimi
nate both from the race before the pri
maries. When Hay first arrived here they were
friends, but there soon came clashes.
Each possesses strong personality. Nei
ther will yield to occupy a secondary po
sition. Kor the good of the party, and
for the good of both officials, their best
friends have been endeavoring to have
them work in harmony.
Today, however. Hay signed a declara
tion of war when his friends announced
they would ask the next Legislature for
an appropriation for a secret service
corps to work under the Governor's di
rection. This would not have been ob
jected to particularly but from the fact
it was coupled with the assertion that a
Joker slipped by Hay's friends into the
appropriation bill of last session to make
such an appropriation had been killed by
Ross.
In the fight to come each has some ad
vantages. Ross has .had the wider ex
perience, possesses a broader knowledge
of politics and men and has friends so
widely scattered in the state as to
readily form the nucleus ef a vigorous or
ganization. Ross, however, has been in
politics many years and has lots of
political and official enemies.
Hay has the advantage of wealth, and
has not been in public life long enough to
have acquired a host of enemies. Hay
has more patronage than ever before
possessed by an executive of this state,
especially with a possibility of having
his appointees as Secretary of State,In
surance Commissioner and Auditor. He
has another advantage. In that control
of Ross' own office is to a great extent
exercised by the State Land Board of
five, which consists of Ross with one vote
and four appointees of the Governor with
a vote each. l
Hay's patronage, however, may be his
worst handicap. Every appointment he
makes goes to inake enemies of those

Bank Building Destroyed and Wires
From Oregon City Power
Plant Disabled.
Fire at Oswego at 1:30 this morning
plunged Portland into darkness, inter
rupting electric service from the Oregon
City power plant. Ihe bank building at
Oswego, the only brick structure in the
town, located near the depot, was burned,
entailing a loss of almost J6000. This is
partly covered by insurance.
The Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company repair department was making
heroic efforts at an early hour this morn
ing to restore the usual service.
The lire started in the barber shop in
the bank building and spread to the hotel
in the same structure. Efforts to extin
guish the fire proved futile and the fire
fighters directed their efforts to prevent
ing a spread of the blaze. The building
was owned, until lately, by the German
American Bank, 'of Portland. It was
bought a few days ago by Portland capi
talists. When the wires went down at Oswego,
the circuit between Portland and Station
B at Oregon City was broken, and the
power was cut off from Oregon City as
well as Portland. At the station it was
said the machines were not burned out.
The power was turned on again at
3:0 o'clock.
OFFICE FIRE SQUELCHED
Blaze In Corbett Building Is Quick
ly Extinguished.
Five minutes after Portland's lights
went out at 2 o'clock this morning,
fire broke out on the seventh floor
of the Corbett building, at Fifth and
Morrison streets. The origin of the
fire Is unknown, but the supposition Is
lhat it started from defective wires or
by spontaneous combustion of gas.
The fire started In the operators' or
dispatchers' room of the Oregon Elec
tric Company, which has its offices on
that floor. The blaze spread to the
other offices, ruining the furni'ure and
fixtures to the extent of several hun
dred dollars, beside destroying some
valuable records and papers.
The flames were first discovered by
the chief engineer of the building, who
rooms across the court from the room
in which the fire started. He was
awakened by the noise of falling glass
and looking out the window saw flames
bursting through the windows and
licking their way along the casements.
An alarm .was turned In and the de
partment quickly arrived and checked
the fire before it had gained serious
headway.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 10. Mehem
med V ended his coronation day by plow
ing a furrow In the lawn at Dolma
Bagtsche palace, symbolically at least, by
holding the plow handles for a fraction
of a minute while two horses dragged
it a few yards. In carrying out the ancient
test, Mehemmed V showed himself to be
sound of body and fit to bear the physical
burdens of the Empire.
It has been a day both of fulfilling and
breaking ancient customs. Christians for
the first time were admitted to the small
mosque and allowed to see the ceremony
of girding the sword of Osman on the
Sultan.
Priest Causes Excitement.
As the Sultan crossed the courtyard of
the mosque to enter his carriage, a white
turbaned hadji, or teaching priest, caused
a moment's excitement by running for
ward with a petition which he tried to
hand to the Sultan, at the same time talk
ing somewhat wildly about the Koranic
law. Two soldiers caught him and hur
ried him out of the yard.
The day, notwithstanding rumors of re
actionary plots, passed peacefully. Lights
were blazing in the minarets and mosque
of Constantinople tonight. The ships in
the harbor were outlined in electric bulbs
and the crowd was eelebrating enthusi
astically the girding of the new Sultan.
Draws Sword of Osman.
The Sultan proceeded in a launch from
the Dolma Bagtsche palace to the
mosque, where the rite was performed.
Then, attended by the Grand Vizier, the
Sheik-ul-Islam, the members of the Cabi
net, the chiefs of the army, the two
higher grades of ulemas and many other
officials, he drove to the Top Kapou
Palace, about six miles distant, to kiss
the robes of the prophet.
At the Ayoub Mosque, Mehemmed V
drew the scimitar of his ancestor. Os
man I, the founder of the Ottoman Em
pire, from its sheath, -and, standing in
the square in front of the group of
buildings called the Sublime Porte,
raised the weapon on high, by this act
taking possession of the empire.
Hymn of Liberty Sung.
The action of the Sultan was followed
by an outburst of shouting from the

PARIS. May 10. The postal situation in
Paris was unchanged tonight. The lead
ers in the movement for a general strike
apparently wish to await the action of
Parliament tomorrow before taking an
Irrevocable step.
The federal committee has placarded
the city with a manifesto entitled "A
last appeal to the members of Parlia
ment." Th manifesto, in stating the
case against the government, declares
that the government has refused to recog
nize all attempts at conciliation and Is
trying to force the postal employes into
a war. It asks Parliament to do Its
duty.
A mass meeting has been dalled for
tomorrow night, at which the question of
striking on Wednesday will be discussed.
Eleven more suspensions were announced.
The places of the seven postal employes
who were dismissed from the service on
Saturday were filled today.
The Cabinet has decided to ask for the
immediate discussion in the Chamber of
Deputies of the proposal to reinstate the
seven men and to demand a vote of con
fidence.

QUAM CATHOLICS SPLIT
Dislike German Capuchin Monks and
Want American Priests.
GUAM, May 10. A split is threa
tened in the Catholic Church of Guam,
The native Christians, fearing the Ger
manizing influence, have cabled the
Vatican that the monks of the German
Capuchin order are not competent spiri
tual advisers because of the fact that
they are ignorant of the English, Span
ish and Chamorro languages. A schism
such as occurred in the Philippines is
feared.
The people appear to be absolutely
Irreconcilable to the Guam priests
and have advanced a strong remon
strance to the German superior for
having forced the resignation of Father
Palomo, the only native priest In
Guam.

MANY DENIALS ARE MADE
Boyle With Wife Enter TTuon Prison
Sentence, Man for Life, Woman
for 2 5 Years Says He Was
Double-Crossed by Whitla.
PITTSBURG, May . 10. Convicted ot
kidnaping Willie Whitla from Sharon,
Pa., on March 18, James H. Boyle and bis
wife, Helen Boyle, were ' lodged in the
Western Penitentiary here today, the
former under a sentence of life Imprison
ment, the latter sentenced to serve 25
years.
Before leaving Mercer, Boyle gave out
a statement telling a remarkable story of
his version of the celebrated kidnaping.
In it he named Harry Forker, a brother
of Whitla's wife, a citizen of Sharon,
who denied Boyle's story.
In his statement Boyle said he saw
Forker bending over the body of a man
dying on the sidewalk of Youngstown, O.,
with a package of letters in h'4s hand
taken from near where the body lay.
Forker, he says, for years paid him regu
larly to keep the matter quiet. He kept,
he says, two letters that Forker over
looked. Forker Proposed Abduction.
From Cleveland, Boyle declares he
wrote Forker and received In reply an
unsigned letter proposing the abduction.
He said the abduction was carried out
and he says that he. (Boyle) showed the
letter to Mr.Whitla In Cleveland and that
Whitla promised if he would substantiate
the Youngstown letter, he (Whitla) would
see that there was not prosecution.
Boyle Takes Leave of Wife.
Arriving at the pentitentiary,. the pris
oners were first taken to a side room and
told that they would have to say good
bye, as the rules of the prison would not
permit them to see each other again. Mrs.
Boyle threw her arms around "Jimmy's'
neck and kissed him. She said:
"We must take it the best we can."
The prisoners then clasped hands and
the matron escorted Mrs. Boyle from the
room. ' When she .had reached the cor
ridor, she t,sobblngly asked to be per
mitted once again to see her husband.
The request was granted and she again
kissed and embraced Boyle.
During' the trip from Mercer the kid
napers discussed the sentence, which they
declared was unjust, and asked what
