HORSE SHOE BEND, Or., July 27.
(Suit Correspondence.) Traveling in the
dead of night down two miles of mountain
grade that average 30 per cent, a divis
ion of Porter Bros.' outfit that left The
Palles last Saturday established camp
at Horeseshoe Bend at midnight last
night. This camp Is located at the foot
of the wagon road built at a cost of
by the Harriman forces and Is on
the flat with Harriman camps on either
side.
The men employed on Twohy Bros."
works for the O. R. & N.. although out
numbering Porter Bros.' men 10 to 1.
made no attempt to prevent the entrance
of the latter into the canyon. The road
down which the outfit came overlooks
the tints of the Harriman engineers
rrarly y feet and the noise and lights
cn the mountain side aroused the camp.
Men Set to Work at N'ight.
Fearing that an attempt might be made
to seize the Harriman works, H. L. Ra
ven, engineer in charge, called the work
men out of bed at midnight and put
them to shoveling at the points where
the two surveys conflict in that imme
diate vicinity. Porter Bros, made no at
tempt, however, to put men at work last
right, but the Twohy employes stayed
on the Job until morning.
Bright and' early this morning the boss
ef Porter Bros.' outfit sent aix men to
tha north portal of the tunnel already
started for the Harriman road. Although
there are no survey stakes in evidence
for the Oregon Trunk line, the Porter
workmen began digging in the bank
About 75 feet from the O. R. & N". men.
Man With Gun Scares Italian.
Engineer DetVltt. for Porter Bros., did
Hot arrive on the ground until late this
afternoon, but the few men were kept
at work all day, while a number made
camp and others drove the seven wag
ons back to Grass Vallley for supplies.
Porter Bros, have established a camp
that has the appenrance of being de
signed to provide accommodation for a
large force of men.
Throughout today there were no con
flicts, but two or three Italians on the
Harriman tunnel quit work this morning
because one of the Porter men was car
rying a rifle of small caliber. The work
man with the rifle declared he carried it
because the camp had not yet been
prepared and he was afraid it would be
lost. I
Road Work Is Continued.
Twohy Bros, kept nearly 10 men at
work all day extending the wagon road
down the river to the tunnel portals,
about one and one-half miles, which
point Is now reached by trail. Twohy j
Bros, also sent a pack horse contractor
Into the canyon today for the purpose
of bidding on packing of supplies by an
other trail if the wagon road remains
closed across the Gurtx ranch. The gate
at the entrance to the Gurtx place is still
kept locked, and a Porter Bros, employe
stands on guard.
No attempts have been mao to close
off the Davis or French places, which It
. to reported Porter Bros, have also pur
chased. On the Davis place Is a well
from which Twohy Bros.- camp at the
brink of the canyon was getting water.
This water supply was denied them two
days ago, but the camp was then pre
paring to move Into the canyon and was
not seriously hampered. Porter Bros.'
sentinel tonight let through a light spring
wagon carrying four Twohy men and two
-r three quarters of fresh beef. He said
h!s Instructions were to stop only pack
wagons.
Sub-Contractors Nervous.
It Is declared by Twohy Bros, that they
have a sufficient outfit In the canyon at
Horseshoe Bend to complete 10 miles of
work, and can proceed if they can get
food supplies for men and horses Into
the canyon. Sub-contractors who have
been looking over the work which will
be supplied from Grass Valley are loath
to undertake it under present conditions,
but sub-contracts are being let above
and below this point, where there are
other means of access. The first 30 miles
u from the mouth have been let in two
sections, one to Foss & McDonald and
the other to Burns & Jordan. Outfits
are moving Into both places. '
Nelson A Johnson have been awarded
the contract for the big tunnel at mile
poet 7, Ave miles above the road. This
tunnel Is 12W feet long and equipment
and supplies can be taken there via the
Sherar Bridge road. Porter Bros." feat

SACRAMENTO. CaL, July 27. (Spe
cial.) While looking for a spot on
which to lie down for a nap Sunday
night, John Riley, a woodcutter by
occupation, selected a bed of tar close
to the American River, where the new
Southern Pacific bridge Is being built.
When Riley went to sleep It was Just
after sundown, and the tar was soft.
When he awoke early the next morn
lng he found himself firmly imbedded
In cold, hard tar. His head was burled
to a depth of several Inches and he
was unable to move.
His voice was still good, however,
and by yelling loudly he attracted work
men on the bridge to his pitiful condi
tion. In order to release him the work
men had to use axes to cut away the
tar. Even when Riley walked away
he had a large chunk of tar sticking
to his head, and ha found it necessary
to go to the County Hospital to have
it removed. He waa given a gasoline
bath by Dr. J. B. Harris, and with
difficulty and not without suffering to
Riley, the tar was removed. Part of
the skin of the side of his face and
ear and some of the hair of his head
came off with the tar.

Slayer of White Rented Rooms Under

Thither 200 Girls, Says
Mrs. Merrill.
WHITE PLAINS. N. T., July 27.
Harry K. Thaw sat in the Supreme
Court here today and heard a woman's
testimony that . made his pallid face
flush.' He saw a pearl-handled dog
whip exhibited, and he heard the witness
swear she -had seen him wield it on the
bare flesh of girls.
The prisoner's wife heard most of the
testimony, which was of such a nature
that Justice Mills preceded Its presenta
tion with the warning that "no woman
should stay In the courtroom unless she
Is willing to hear everything." Two girls
left.
The witness was Mrs. Susan Merrill,
a buxom woman of about 35 years, and
she opened a new chapter In the life of
Stanford White's slayer. She told of
alleged acts of Thaw between 1902 and
1905. when he waa a bachelor about New
York. Her testimony waa in marked
contrast to that of two alienists who
gave Thaw a clean bill of health, de
claring that In their opinion he was sane.
Says Thaw Kept Girls.
She testified that during the three years
named she kept In succession two New
York lodging-houses, where Thaw rented
rooms under assumed names, and to
which he brought at various times more
than 200 girls.
Xfnfr"Thaw's Imprisonment, she said.
he paid these women at least $25,000 as
the price of their silence and to "keep
them from bothering Thaw's wife or his
mother.''
One of them, whom she said passed aa
Thaw's' wife, received JTO00. The money
.came from Thaw. '
Saw Women Whipped, Too.
The mysterious package brought to
court yesterday by Clifford W. Hart-
ridge, Thaw's former counsel, was un
wrapped and a pearl-handled whip about
three feet long was brought Into view.
With this before the eves of the court
and spectators, the woman related a
series of stories about finding Thaw on
several occasions lashing the. girls upon
their bare arms and bodies.
Thaw, she said, had posed as a thea
trical agent and bad lured the girls to
his rooms with promises of engagements.
When she remonstrated with him, she
testified, his excuse waa that the girls
were not smart enough and could not
fill their positions and deserved a beat
ing." She testified further that Thaw
had frequently behaved violently, and
that she considered his acts irrational.
Mrs. Merrill's testimony was stopped

Market Men Believe He Is Trying to
Make Armour Give Up Sup
plies of Grain.
CHICAGO. . July 27. (Special.)
James A. Patten came out In the open
today as a big seller of short wheat,
amounting probably from 3,000,000 to
6.000,000 bushels, and broke prices from
3V4 to 4 cents a bushel. His brokers
sold both September and December
heavily, and the July price took a tum
ble of 4 cents a bushel In a short time,
because elevator people and receivers
undertook to sell for that month
against actual wheat receipts.
September wheat broke to $1.03
and December to $1.02 In the
last hour. There was a bluff at
supporting the market early In the day,
when the July price was run up to $1.09
and the September to $1.06. It was not
until about midday that the heavy sell
ing of wheat by the Patten brokers be
gan. "Patten Is not selling this wheat
because he Is bearish," said a well-ad
vised pit trader today. "He is after
something, and. in my Judgment, that
something is the big line of wheat held
by the Armour Grain Company. It was
because he did not wish to have the
Armour wheat unloaded on him every
day that he caused a swell In the mar
ket last week and that he threw over
his own big holdings. Now It looks as
if he proposes to do what he can to
make the other 'fellow unload his line
of several million bushels of wheat
also."

SALEM, Or., July 27. (Special.) Eu
ropean cables received today have caused
bull leaders to declare theis faith in 25
cent hops before picking time arrives.-

Well-informed hop men claim that this
year's crop in, Oregon will not be more
than 70,000 bajes. as against 92,000 In
1908. IiT anticipation of big prices, farm
ers are spraying and as a result the
quality this year Is expected to be very
high. Bull beaters claim that 20 cents
has been paid In The Dalles country and
that 21 cents has been refused for options
In North Yakima within the past 4S hours.

On Scene of Previous Disaster, Dar

WASHINGTON, July 27. The world's
aeroplane record for two men, both as
to time and distance, was broken this
evening in a beautiful flight of 1 hour.
12 minutes and 40 seconds upward of 60
miles, and at a speed averaging about 40
miles an hour, by Orville Wright at Fort
Myer, with Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm,
of the Army Signal Corps, as a passen
ger. The former record was made last year
by his brother, Wilbur, at Lemans,
France, with Professor Palntov, of the
French Institute, as passenger. That flight
was 1 hour, 9 minutes and 31 seconds.
Wilbur was an eager spectator of today's
flight.
Tart Leads Cheering.
The cheering that heralded the setting
of a new mark in the conquest of the
air was led by President Taft, who was
an intensely Interested spectator through
out the flight. This success was all-im
portant to the Wrights, In that it com
pleted the first of two crucial tests of
their machine imposed upon them by the
United States - Government the so-called
"endurance test," which required them to
remain one hour continuously in the air
with one passenger. Orvllle did nearly
13 minutes better than that, and could
have kept on Indefinitely threw hours and
a half, the limit Imposed by the gasoline
capacity of the supply tank.
The other test, that for speed, will be
complied with tomorrow, weather per
mitting, when Orville is to take Lieu
tenant Benjamin Foulers, of the Signal
Corps, on a cross-country flight to Alex
andria, Va., and return. Orville could
have made that flight this evening, but
it was almost dark when at last he
alighted from a flight that would have
carried him almost twice across the Eng
lish Channel.
. . Sister First to Congratulate.
Poignancy waa added to Orville
Wright's achievement by the realization
that upon his previous attempt to navi
gate .the air with a passenger. Lieuten
ant Selfridge waa killed and he himself
terribly injured. His sister. Miss Cath
erine Wright, anxiously watched him and
when he returned unhurt from his flight,
she gripped him eagerly and said:
"Bully for you, brother; It was beau
tiful." Later the President took him warmly
by the hand saying:
"I congratulate you heartily, sir. It
was a great exhibition. You came down

All Resorts of Vice Pay Regular Toll
for Protection From Law
Enforcement.
CHICAGO. July 27. (Special.) Astound
ing revelations follow the partial In
vestigation of vice conditions In Chi
cago, made In connection with the pres
ent crusade against police graft. Many
vicious Industries were seen to be cen
tered In several districts of the city
In suoh proportions that the task of In
vestigating conditions In the territory
over which Inspector McCann had Juris
diction Is gigantic and will unfold to
the grand Jury's gaze a speotacle many
times as loathsome as that presented
by the levee west of the river.
Conservatively estimated, the annual
amounts In graft alleged to be paid for
police protection by resorts of many
kinds in the city. Including disorderly
houses, hotels, flats, rooming-houses,
gambling-houses, dance halls and sa
loons, made a total of $2,932,760, near
ly 5000 places contributing to this sum.
If such fund exists.
The largest part of this enormous
revenue Is said to be paid by resort
keepers and others In what Is known
as the Twenty-second Levee district.
In addition to these amounts re
ceived from habitues of Twenty-second-street
Levee, the First Ward ball nets
Its organizers $30,000 a year on the
average. Resort-keepers and others are
forced to contribute In the wholesale
purchase of tickets and wine.
REDS FIRE AT SURVEYORS
v.
Crew on Upper Skeena Reports
Strained 61tuatoln.
VICTORIA, B. C. July 27. (Special.)
A." W. Harvey, a surveyor of Victoria,
and his two assistants, had a narrow
escape from death while working on the
Upper Skeena Saturday, being exposed to
a rifle fusillade from Indians across tho
river, which continued even after they
had shouted repeated warnirga.
One of the Indians, Mark Benson. wa
recognized and brought before Magis
trate Allison at Hazelton today, when
he pleaded that he had been firing
merely as a signal for the squaws to
bring over the canoes. As Benson had
not been seen actually firing, he Re
tired his dismissal. The situation on the
river grows more serious daily and a
general campaign against the whites is
looked for as soon as Winter closes the
water highways, so that protection would
have to be sent in.
In today's case, the Magistrate is
severely censured for having strained
the law so as not to incur the enmity
of the Indians.

BARK AND SEVEN MEN LOST
Story of Suffering and Shipwreck Is
Brought From Tasmania.
VICTORIA, B. C, July 27. A thrilling
story of the loss of the bark Orleans with
seven of her crew, when bound from the
Seychelle Islands for Dunedin, waa
brought by the steamer Marama, which
icached port tonight from Australia.
The Orleans was abandoned June 17,
200 miles off the west coast of Tasmania,
after the crew of 14 had worked for five
days at the pumps In vain, the vessel
being listed over and the water reaching
her hatches. For 12 days the survivors
suffered terribly in open boats before
Captain Lindstol and six men reached
Macquarrie Heads, Tasmania, and re
ported the loss of seven shipmates.
For 11 days the two boats from the
wreck were in company, and then parted
in heavy weather. Several tugs and a
government steamer were sent to search,
but failed to find the missing boat.

NEW YORK, July 27. Miss Gertrude
Hoffman, the dancer, will have until next

Magistrate Steinert said Miss Hoffman's
agreement to don tights of suitable
length was sufficient assurance to the
court that the case did not demand im
mediate adjudication. She had heretofore
