HABB1MAN OFFER
Wizard's Terms for Terminal
at Portland Are Spurned
at Conference.
MEETINGS HELD DAILY
Vnlon Depot In Dispute Belief Is
That Harrlman Aims to Gobble
Terminal Rights Prompt
Agreement Is Expected. '
NEW YORK, Juno S. (Special.)
Conferences over the Hill-Harriman
Joint traffic agreement affecting the
present Northern Pacific line between
Portland and Tacoma continue daily.
In the absence of Mr. Harriman In
Europe, Julius Kruttsohnltt. trlfflc di
rector, and TV. W. Cotton, general coun
sel for the Harrlman lines, are meeting
with Howard Klllott and C. "W. Bunn,
representing the Hill roads.
The matter of the Portland terminals
has not yet been adjusted. It is said
Air. Harrlman has offered what he con
siders reasonable terms, but that Mr.
Hill has not accepted, so that, while
other details are now under discus
sion, the terminal question Is held in
abeyance.
Locally the settlement of the Port
land terminal question is looked upon
as not far distant. It Is not believed
n agreement of the magnitude of the
one now being consummated will omit
such a detail. Whether it will mean
the centralization of traffic in the Un
ion Depot or the erection of a new
depot by Mr. Hill is not forecasted in
local railroad circles, but it is the
pinion that the differences will be
adjusted amicably In some form.
The understanding of the case here
Is that Mr. Harriman has proposed that
Mr. Hill put his valuable terminal
properties into the Portland Terminal
Company, two-thirds of the stock of
which Is controlled by Mr. Harrlman.
Mr. Hill, it is said, will not consent
to placing the control of the terminal
properties now owned by his roads
wholly In the hands of Mr. Harriman,
but will demand an equal interest in
the terminal company.
Mr. Hill, when here Wednesday,
pointed out the probability that the
facilities afforded at the Union Depot
Will not be adequate to care for ths In
creased traffic brought about by the
consolidation of interests and the rapid
growth of this city. It is suggested
here that Mr. Harriman must begin
planning for future expansion of ter
minals in Portland and that it will
bo to his advantage to combine with
Mr. Hill so far as sidetrack facilities
are concerned. An agreement In this
particular Is looked upon as a possi
bility with the temporary use of the
Union Depot granted the Hill roads
under an understanding that Mr. Hill
will erect a new station within a cer
tain period.

as to levy a duty of 20 per cent ad va
lorem on log. goat or ' sheepskins which
have been sewed together, instead of 35

committee
Aldrich offered a substitute for the
paragraph placing a duty of GO per cent
art valorem on Jewelry, by which specific
rates were placed on a long list of arti
cles of Jewelry. Aldrich said the new
paragraph would prevent under-valuation
and would increase the revenue. It was
agreed to.
An amendment offered by Root to dif
ferentiate between real precious stones,
such as diamonds and rubles, and semi

request of Aldrich, but an amendment
offered by Iodge specifically naming imi

fluty of 20 per cent ad valorem on imita

The most important amendment adopt

fl-75 to $1.28 per dozen. The rest of the

AliDRICH AXD STONE QI7ARREL,
Missonrlan Calls Down Ross for In
sult to Germany.
WASHINGTON. June 3. The -Senate
was not In an amiable state of mind
today, and there were several clashes
of temper. Stone of Missouri asserted
that the German officials had taken ex
ception to remarks made recently by
Aldrich relative to the wage statement
supplied by the German government at
the request of the American Secretary
of State. Aldrich had characterized 'as
"impertinent" the effort which he said
had been made In that statement to in
fluence American tariff legislation, and
Stone undertook to show that the epi
thet had applied to the German gov
ernment. Aldrich resented this Implication, but
said repeatedly that the German manu
facturers had undertaken to influence
the course of the tariff bill and charged
that In doing so they had been guiltv
of Impertinence. Aldrich Intimated that
Stone was acting as a representative
of Germany, and this remark aroused
the Mlssourian. Declaring his right to
speak his mind as an American Sena
tor, he said the use of the expression
was a "gross Impertinence."
Stone's Rebuke to Aldrich.
The original trouble arose when, in
response to a request from our own
State Department, the German govern
ment forwarded to this Government
statements of manufactures concerning
the rate of wages in Germany, request
ing that the names of the manufactur
ers be not used. Stone characterized
AUlrich's remarks on the subject as
a "petulant and extraordinary declara
tion." adding that he thought every one
regarded the utterance as "impolitic if
not impolite."
Stone said he was not surprised that
the German government and the Ger
man people had taken notice of it and
felt offended by it.
Aldrich replied that he had made no
charge against the German govern
ment. His remarks, he said, were di
rected solely against the manufacturers.
Aldrich Amends His Words.
"I repeat."
aid. "that any at-
tempt on the part of any government to
influence legislation on the tariff matter
is impertinent- I did not say the Ger
man government made such an attempt,
but if any government made such an
attempt, it would be impertinent."
A spirited controversy followed,
bringing on the question whether or not
Aldrich had meant to refer directly to
ttje German government.
Stone declared he had gained the im
pression that the chairman of the
finance committee had given a deliber
ate affront to a friendly power, and he
said the dispatch from Berlin indicates
that such a construction had been given
to it by the German officials.
Calls Aldrich Impertinent.
Aldrich answered that he was at a
loss to account for Mr. Stone's conduct
unless he appeared as a representative
of the German government. This an
gered StoiTe.
That statement," he said, witn delib
eration, "is an impertinence." and add
ed: "Yes, it is worse than an imper
tinence." Depew said it was absurd to think tile
German government had in reality
given serious consideration to the mat
ter. Stone concluded his presentation of
the question by saying. that, while there
had not been a direct retraction, the
dose had been so sugar-coated by eu
logy on Germany as to remove the bit
ter taste.
La Follette introduced a resolution
calling for all the correspondence relat
ing to the subject, but its considera
tion was postponed.

PLEA. NOT TO BE MADE UNTIL
MONDAY AT OLYMPIA.
Bond Money Provided, Says Attor
ney, but Will Not Be Used Until
Favorable Time.
OtiTMPIA, Wash., June 3. (Special.)
Ortis Hamilton, at the request of his
attorneys, was granted until Monday
next to enter his plea to the charge of
embezzlement of state funds when he
was brought into court today. The ru
mors heretofore made that his immedi
ate family and friends had deserted him
were shown to be a mistake, as Boyd
Hamilton, a brother, cashier of the
Coeur d'Alene Bank & Trust Company,
at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and Dr. A. S.
Stuht, the husband of a sister of Ham
ilton, and a practicing physician at
Colfax, formerly a member of the med
ical board of this state, were present
with Hamilton's attorneys and had a
long visit with the prisoner.
Judge Robinson, attorney for Hamil
ton, said the question of bonds had
been settled long since, and that Gen
eral Hamilton will be given his liberty
on bonds "when I consider conditions
favorable. There Is nothing further to
be said, except that General Hamilton's
Immediate family and very many per
sonal friends have stood by him loyally,
and will continue to do so."
On Monday the defense will first
move to have the indictment quashed.
If this is dented, a demurrer to the
sufficiency of the information will be
interposed, and should this be over
ruled, then a plea of not guilty will be
entered and the case assigned for trial.
S. P. JUMPS FIVE POINTS
Speculation Sends Harrlman and
Steel Stocks Soaring.
NEW YORK. June 3. Furious buying
of Southern Pacific Railroad stock was
the feature of a sudden revival of spec
ulation In the stock market today. In
terest was congested ti a few stocks, not
ably the Harrlman Pacifies and United
States Steel. A sudden upward rush of
6 points In Southern Pacific had an Im
pressive effect on the entire market.
The buying was accredited to inside
sources.
United States Steel stock continued its
remarkable advance and touched new
high levels within a fraction of 69. Prep
arations for the transfer of this stock to
the Paris Bourse were held to account
for Its strength. The whole market was
strong and active, but nothing like the
extent of these leading speculative favor
ites. The market absorbed some very healthy

these caused reactions of 1 to 1 points.
Southern Pacific sold at 130 and the

for Mysterious North Coast.
NORTH TAKIMA. Wash.. June 3.
(Special.) Fisk & Son. bond and warrant
buyers of New York City, are furnishing
the money with which to build the North
Coast Railroad. This was brought out
in the testimony given in the Superior
Court here today by A. G. Smifh. sec
retary and treasurer of the North Coast
road, in the condemnation proceedings
brought by the North Coast road for a
right-of-way in Parker Bottom. Smith
said his wife held some stock in the
North Coast, but had not put up the
money for it. When compelled to tell
by the court who had, it was brought out
that Harvey, Fisk ' & Son are back of
the deal.
It was also brought out in the testimony
that the North Coast main line will follow
the east side of the Yakima River south
of North Yakima. The original survey
was on the west side of the river, but
the change of plan now cuts out Toppenr
ish. The North Yakima & Valley road
has purchased some right-of-way over
which the North Coast must go in Parker
Bottom, and the fight Is between these
two roads now.

being shof at several times. The Indians
then handcuffed them together and held
them in the hot sun on the desert for
eight hours with a temperature of 115

The trouble arose over a question of
land ownership. Mr. Rogers and son were
finally released by a Deputy United States

Shelton Went to Meet Chief, Say

and Denver Robberies Work
of the Same Gang.
DENVER, June S. After investigat
ing the movements of Jaxfe Shelton,
under arrest here as the fourth man of
the gang of train robbers that held up
a Union Pacific train near Omaha, the
police and postoffice Inspectors now
advance the theory that the operations
of the gang, which are believed to in
clude the Great Northern train rob
bery near Spokane, the D. & R. G. rob
bery near Denver and several other
similar crimes, were directed from
Spokane.
The police state that they have dis
covered that Shelton made several
trips to Petersburg, Colo., to meet a
man from Spokane who was to have
provided money for the defense of
Golden and Downer, arrested in Omaha.
This money, say the police, was to
have been given to Lillian Stephenson,
who was arrested with Shelton, and
taken by her to Omaha. The police
believe that the proceeds of all the
robberies were sent to the head of the
gang at Spokane.
SUSPECTS ARE IDENTIFIED
Spokane Detective Picks Out Men
Held at Omaha.
OMAHA. Neb., June 3. W. D. Woods,
Fred Torgensen and James Gordan, the
three Federal prisoners bound over for
the Overland Limited train robbery,
were positively Identified by Detective
MacDonald, of the Spokane police, who
arrived in Omaha today. MacDonald
declares the man calling himself Woods
is Dan Downer, notorious In the North
west as a desperado who has served
time for horse-stealing.
Torgensen, MacDonald says, is want
ed with Downer, at Waterville, Wash.,
for safe-blowing and bond-Jumping.
A brother of Downer is said to have
been killed by officers in a daring hold
up in Stevens County, Wash., when his
partner, Claude Wells, was also killed.
Gordon's real name is Gordon M. Gol-
den, and he is known to have associated
with Downer, Torgensen and other
criminals in the West. He is a brother
of Joe Golden, who has a police record.
Detective McDonald says he believes
that Charles R. Shelton, the fourth sus
pect, who was arrested at Denver Wed
nesday, was really Bob Splain, a notori
ous horse and cattle thief, safe-blower
and bond-Jumper, who has done time in
several penitentiaries. The prisoners
simply laughed when McDonald called
them by name.. "

LEADING CLOTHIER
the Omaha police has been identified by
pictures in Omaha papers by the parents
or Lon Golden, of Spokane, and his
younger friends as the lad who left
home four years ago after dissolving
partnership with his father in a River
side avenue fruit stand, to become a hobo
and answer to the call of the bumpers.
His father, Thomas Golden, is a wealthy
pioneer of Spokane, who has made a
fortune in real estate and in buying and
selling grocery stores. He resides with
a large family at East 213 Third avenue.
Lon Golden is one of three brothers,
the fruit of Thomas Golden's first mar
riage, one brother being in the saloon
business at Everett, Wash., while the
other is said to be an outlaw in the
Southwest. He was at one time reported
in the penitentiary. Three beautiful girls
were born to his second wife, one of
whom. Miss Ethel, will graduate from
the State Normal School at Cheney this
year.
Two years ago, while searching for
yeggmen, Spokane detectives found suit
cases in Golden's saloon at Everett con
taining powder; fuse and fulminating
caps. In the Omaha picture is Frank
Grigware, another Spokane boy, who left
here with Golden. It is alleged money
was secured fraudulently from Grig
ware's relatives here by other suspects.
CONFESSED BURGLAR FREE
Jury Acquits Man Treated to "Third
Degree" by Police.
CHICAGO, June1 3. A story of ill-treatment
at the hands of the members of
the police department so worked upon
the feelings of a Jury in Judge Clifford's
court yesterday that it acquitted Max
Kaplan of burglary, even afrer he had
confessed the crime, and his attorney
had offered to allow his client to plead
guilty and submit to a sentence of one
year in the House of Correction. Chief
among the injustices heaped upon Kaplan
at the Harrison-street station, where he
was confined, was the "water-cure, ac
cording to his story. He said that for
five days he was prevented from sleeping
by policemen, who at intervals of an hour
threw buckets of cold water over him In
his cell. He also charged that he was
beaten with "black-Jacks" and that sev
eral of his teeth were knocked out. He
testified that when he was taken before
Assistant Chief Schutler, several officers
were in the room, and, fearing further
brutality, he made a signed confession.

Spokane Police Know Records.
SPOKANE, June 3. Downer, Torgen
sen and Golden, the three men held at
Omaha for train robbery, are all well
known to Spokane police, but in spite of
numerous arrests, it is believed none of
the trio ever was sentenced to prison.
Downer and Torgensen were arrested at
Everett last October, carrying dynamite
and a safe-cracking outfit, but were re
leased after several months in Jail. Gold
en is said to be wanted by the San Fran
cisco police. Banton Coffer and Bert
Coffer, held here under $10,000 bonds for
the holdup of the Great Northern mail
near Colbert, positively deny any ac
quaintance with Downer and Golden.
STRENGTH FOR

A Philadelphia Man Tells What
the Tonic Treatment Did
For Him.
The experience of sufferers from stom
ach trouble, who have tried the tonic
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, has been that their trouble has dis
appeared as soon as the blood was made
jpure. The numerous disorders of the
stomach, as catarrh of the stomach, acid
stomach, nervous dyspepsia, neuralgia
of the stomach, gastritis, and lack of
tone, hav,e the same underlying cause
impure blood. In each case the stomach
is weak. Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills sup
ply the stomach with the strength it
needs by enriching and purifying the
blood. Pure blood gives tone to the
nerves, muscles, and glands of the stom
ach and makes it able to properly per
form the work of digestion.
Mr. Thomas J. Young, of No. 1246
Callowhill street, Philadelphia, Pa.,
says:
"While working in a wholesale house
in Liverpool, England, some years ago,
I was afflicted with stomach trouble
and suffered from constipation, bad
breath and sick headaches. I was forced
to be absent from business for a week at
a time. Food nauseated me and would,
feel like a weight on my stomach. My
complexion became sallow, I had palpi
tation of the heart upon the least ex
ertion and was so nervous that the slam
ming of a door would cause me to
tremble like a leaf. I could not sleep
well but would wake up suddenly very
often through the night. I had a great
deal of headache and dizziness.
"I was under the care of a doctor for
about two years but received only slight
relief. I also tried many medicines and
weakened myself by using purgatives.
When I read about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills in the paper I determined to give
them a trial. I carefully followed the
directions with the result that I soon be
came my normal self and put on flesh
rapidly. This happened five years ago
and I have never had a recurrence of
the trouble. "
