GRASS VALLEY. Or., July 29 (Staff
Correspondence.) The boasted $30,000
purchase of three farms by Porter
Brothers to gain control of the moun
tain road built at a cost of $10,000 by
the Harrlman contractors to gain wagon
entrance to the Deschutes canyon from
their point turns out to be In the form
if an option on which a total of $450
has been paid down.
This Information comes from the
bounty Clerk of Sherman County at
Moro. One of the options runs for an
Indefinite period, another expires in
10 days, and the third Is on public lands
:o which the rights of the entryraen
who gave the option have been decided
adversely to them by the Government.
Legal Agent Investigates.
A legal representative of the Harrf-
man roads arrived In Grass Valley to
night and copies of the contracts will
be secured from Moro tomorrow. After
the terms have been fplly Investigated
a decision will be reached as to what
action shall be taken.
It is declared in the Harlman con
struction headquarters here that no
matter what the rights of Porter Broth
ers to the tracts that He between Grass
Valley and the summit of the mountain
road, proceedings will be carried on In
an orderly manner. There will be no
heads broken or bloodshed In order to
get through the guarded gate and the
courts will probably be resorted to. It
is confidently predicted that the wagon
road will be opened within a short
time.
Porter Camps on Disputed Ground,
For the time being, at least, it ap
pears that Porter Brothers are devot
ing their energies to blocking tactics.
The three camps established by the
Porter Brothers are all on territory
where the surveys are supposed to
"I . D.. .1 I . -1 .1 I l.tA ,hr A
;r.on, the oumt tht originally left
The Dalles, Porter Brothers have not
a large camp at any of the points at
which they are at work, yet Superin
tendent Griffin, who is in charge at
this place, declares they will soon have
1000 men employed.
The Harrlman construction is going on
at points all along the line, disputed or
not. Twohy Bros, are letting sub-con
tracts nearly every day and within a very
short time the entire works will- be cov
ered by the Harrlman line. Every In
dication here is that the Harrlman people
are acting In good faith.
Italians Stay With Porters.
Porter Bros force in the canyon of
the Deschutes at Horseshoe Bend will
be augmented by 42 Italians tomorrow. A
small number of others went in today,
and with those heretofore on the ground,
the Oregon Trunk will have So men,
against several hundred in the employ
of the HarTiman contractors.
Several of the Italians who arrived In
Srass Valley on the evening train tonight
had rifles. Attempts were made by rep
resentatives of Twohy Bros, to entice the
Italians away from the Porter camp and
take the train to Shaniko, where the
O. R. & X. is rushing In men for the
work above mile post 76. The 42 Italians
could not be induced to remain In the
train, however. Porter Bros, have in
their employ in the canyon one of the
best known Italian railroad bosses In the
Vest. Tony Searpelll. Hi word is law to
hie fellow-countrymen, and when he or
dered several Italians working for Twohy
Bros. In the canyon to quit and Join the
other camp, they did so. Most of Twohy
Bros.' forces are composed of Scandina
vians and Hungarians, however.
Thirty seven railroad laborers and
teamsters who drifted Into Grass Valley
looking for work were snapped up by
Twohy Bros, today and sent on up the
lir.e to Shaniko. J. E. Twohy, who re
turned from Portland today, brought out
60 other laborers with him. These also
were sent on to Shaniko.
Porters' Crew Cross River.
Pending some disposition of the dis
puted -roadway to the Horseshoe Bend
country, the Harriman contractors are
not attemepting to increase their forces
In that vlcintty.
A courier returning from the river op
posite the Hill ranch, west of Grass Val
ley, reports that 37 Porter men are work
ing on the grade at mile post 27, on this
side of the river. The river was crossed
by means of the rowboat mentioned in
yesterday's dispatches, the wagon trains
gaining the other side from The Dalles.

WASHINGTON, July is). (Special.)
Bowing to President Taft's ultimatum as
to gloves and lumber, the Republican
tariff conferees brought their work to a
conclusion this afternoon, signed the re
port and tomorrow will submit it to the
House. ' Two tentative agreements one
reached yesterday and the other the day
before the President repudiated. The
bill as it now stands will have the Presi
dent's hearty approval.
President Taft gets the two things upon
which he Insisted In addition to free hides
and radical reductions in the duties on
manufactured leather the existing rates
on gloves and lumber at $1.25 a thousand.
Print paper, which was one of the prob
lems left for solution at the last, carries
a duty of S3. To a ton, which Is 25 cents
under the Senate rate and $1.75 above the
House rate. In addition, the retaliatory
features recommended as a result of the
Mann investigation of the paper industry
are to apply.
Taft's Ultimatum to Aldrich.
President Taft sent a letter to Senator
Aldrich this morning which brought mat
ters to a focus. It was Intended for the
conference committee as a whole, and it
was a formal statement of what the
Executive thought ought to be done with
respect to gloves and lumber. No threat
of a veto or of calling another special
session was put on paper, but, from what
had been said verbally during the pre
ceding 24 hours and from the general un
derstanding of the President's determina
tion, the note was regarded as an ulti
matum. Xo Time for Xew Protection.
The President gave succinctly his rea
son for believing that lumber should not
carry a duty in excess of $1.25, and he
explained his belief as to gloves that this
Is not a propitious time to start new pro
tection for any Industry. He stated
that with lumber at the rate suggested
and the .Senate rates on gloves, leaving
the duties as in the Dingley act. a re

approval and that he would use his ln-

While Impostor Posed as Austrian
Nobleman. Baron Rothschild
Was In Vienna.
CHICAGO, July 29. (Special.) Chicago
society folks, including the exclusive Ger
manla Club, after all the 'furore that has
been raised over the alleged romance of
Olga Menn and Baron Oscar Rothschild,
will be surprised to learn that Baron
Rothschild was never In Chicago, that he
never met he young woman with whom
his name has been linked, and that the
girl was imposed on by an impostor.
The man thought to have been Baron
Rothchlld was in Chicago on July 5.
This man, it has been learned, Is named
Wolf. The real Baron Rothschild was in
Vienna July 10, and committed suicide
July 13. This shows conclusively that
young Rothschild could not have been In
Chicago at the time the supposed Baron
was paying ardent court to Mies Menn.
Her father went so far as to say that his
daughter was going to Germany, where
she would form a matrimonial alliance.
Tonight Dr. Menn said:
"I do not want to discuss" this man now
called Wolf. My daughter was deceived.
Of course her heart is broken; she was
disappointed. I now know that we never
entertained the Baron Rothschild; that is
the reason I state that we were never ac
quainted with any member of the famous
Austrian family."
Wolf made a remark to the clerk In a
hotel that he was being royally enter
tained by the society people of Chicago.

LONDON, July 29. A special dis
patch from Madrid says there are
perlsltent rumors In Carllst Quarters
that Don Jaime, the pretender. Is
about to Issue an address to the
powers and a manifesto "to the
Spanish people maintaining his claim
to the Spanish throne.
MADRID, 'July . It was officially an
nounced tonight that the cavalry at
Barcelona succeeded today in driving
Into St. Martin's Square the principal
bands of revolutionists, against whom the
artillery opened Are, causing great losses.
The survH'ors surrendered.
The official statement further says that
it now remains only to overcome small
groups of revolutionists in the villages
near Barcelona. Premier Maura an
nounced . tonight this favorable report
from Barcelona:
Maura Is Confident.
"The arrival of reinforcements will en
able us to quell the outbreaks."
Thus, according to official advices, the
insurreotion has been checked, but at a
heavy loss of life. After fighting des
perately and successfully for a lone time
behind barricades, the principal mobs
were gradually driven to St.. Martin
Square where they found themselves en
trapped. Heavy detachments of artillery
and cavalry . came up and surrounded
them.
The artillery Immediately opened fire,
mowing down the revolutionists, who
sought to escape, but were met at every
point with shot and shell. Those of the
Insurgents who were not killed or seri
ously wonnded threw down their arms
and surrendered.
The Insurrection continues In the neigh
boring villages, whither the troops are
proceeding. The commanders .of .the sol
diers are under orders to spare none who
attempt to resist.
Throughout the day, however, advices
indicated that the disturbances in Cata
lonia were as serious as ever, although
the government has succeeded in getting
troops through to certain of the disaf
fected points. The lines of communica
tion, which have been cut everywhere in
Catalonia, are In part repaired.
In many cities there have long been
loud mutterlngs, and the serious situa
tion in Morocco gave the opportunity
for a rising of the revolutionists in
Catalonia in protest against the send

District Attorney Jerome finished hia

ing of Thaw's application for release
from Matteawan.
All told, yesterday and today, Harry
Thaw answered Mr. Jerome's lightning

own, and tomorrow he will he in the

Mrs. Thaw Repeats Charges.
Notwithstanding the mental strain of
his examination. Thaw labored late to
night with his attorney in Justice Mills'
ante-room, going over the exhibits used
by Mr. Jerome in his rapid-fire of cross-,
questions. These consisted of various
papers containing notes and drawings
found in Thaw's cell In the Tombs after
he was sent to Mattewan.
What use Mr. Jerome will make of
them will develop later. But their ap
