    SCHIVELY
CAN
SAY WHAT
HE GOT
Money He Collected Is
All Spent.
TESTIMONY IS DAMAGING
Defendant Admits He Took
Coin for Work Not Done.
HIS SHARE IN THOUSANDS
Insurance Companies Paid $2 00 In
Advance for Examinations, Which
In Many Instances Were Never
Performed, Schlvely Admits.
OLTMPTA, TVaah., Aug. 23. (Staff Cor
reepondence.) Although practically un
shaken In his testimony on the perjury
charge against htm. J. H. Sschively was
forced Into making- damaging admtosions
in the Impeachment trial today on the
other counts.
Asserting that he vae absolutely un
able to give any estimate of the eums
he had collected as advance examination
fees on Insurance companies that were
never examined. Schively admitted on the
stand that these sums were divided equal
ly between Secretary of State Nlchola
and himself and that every dollar of bis
share had been expended.
No Record of Sloney Collected.
He Insisted vehemently, however, that
It had been his Intention and is now. If
permitted to do o, to make the exam
inations, pay his own expense and. If
he loses by the work, to look to Mr.
Nichols to reimburse him.
The Insurance Commissioner declared
that no record had been kept of the
money so collected, either officially or
personal, and that It had not been placed
In a trust fund to be used in making the
examinations.
Scblvely's Share Is Thousands.
The practice of collecting examination
fees In advance in this way. he said, be
gain In 1906. Assistant Attorney-General
Lee. cross examining, referred to Bchlve
ly's direct testimony, showing that 182
companies had been admitted In that
period. Asked If at the rate of tXO per
company the total fees collected had not
aggregated J36.400 and his share tlS.200.
Schively replied in the negative, assert
ing that some Eastern companies with
Coast general agencies had been admit
ted, after a conference with the Insur
ance board In San Francisco, for 100
each. Asked if hie share had been J10,
000. Schlvely testified that he could not
say whether the amount was In excess or
lesa than that figure.
Admits He TTsed Money.
Referring to the articles of impeach
ment. Mr. Lee called attention to the
fact that it was charged therein that
J30OO had been collected In fee's for ex
aminations not yet made.
"What did you do with your half?"
he aaked.
"It has largely been expended In these,
proceedings."
"Then. In other words. It was not ex
pended In the interests of the Insurance
department, but for personal expenses?"
"That la so." was the reply.
"If you kept no record of fees paid In
advance, how do you know what com
panies to examiner asked Lee.
Ready With New Excuse.
"If I should go to examine the Boston
Insurance Company, for Instance, or
should send an examiner there, and a
statement of expenses were submitted to
the company and the Boston Insurance
Company should produce vouchers show
ing that the fees had already been paid.
It would not be asked to pay for the
examination."
Schlvely'a excuse for not making the
examinations was that the volume of
work In the office, and lack of assistance,
prevented him getting away. When
asked how It happened that he could get
away to take a position with the Paciflo
Livestock Insurance Company In Spo
kane, go to Portland and Walla Walla
to act aa an Insurance expert on his own
account, as he has testified he did, and
go to the Elks' convention In Denver,
Schlvely replied that as an employe he
was under the orders of his employer,
and that he had frequently told Nichols
that the examinations should be made.
Got Money for No Work.
Schively was also shown from his own
report that the Capital Life Insurance
Company, of Denver, and the Illinois Na
tional Fire Insurance Company, of
Springfield, had withdrawn from this
state. He admitted that $200 each had
been extracted from these companies for
examinations never made, but that the
sums had never been refunded, although
an examination is not now required.
Schlvely testified today that the $200
he received from the Union Guaranty
Company, of Portland, was personal fees
for expert services in assisting H. D.
Wagnon to merge the company, then a
fraternal organization. Into a stock com
pany. Donovan Ousted From Room.

ing Men Story of Attack
of Mob on Cars.

of smoke came from the chimneys of
the plant of the Pressed Steel Car Com
pany in Schoenvllle tonight, the plant
being In operation despite the efforts of
mobs to scare off the Imported working
men. The strikers seemed to realize for
the first time that the company could do
without them.
More state police have been ordered
here to augment the company of mounted
constabulary on duty at the car plant.
The strikers realize that the mounted
troops are too much for them. Yet all
day the troopers were subjected to abuse
from windows and doors whenever they
chanced to pass the home of a strike
sympathizer.
Inquire Into Peonage Charge.
It was announced that, the Government
will heed the peonage charge against
President F. N. Hoffstot and Foreman
Samuel Cohen, of the Pressed Steel Car
Company, to the extent of making
thorough Investigations of the allegations
made by Albert Vamos, who swore to
the charges before United States Com
missioner Lindsay on Saturday.

death list up to seven.
Total List of Dead. '
The dead include one Deputy . Sheriff,
two troopers and four strikers. The fa
tally wounded are three troopers, two
strikers, a strike sympathizer, an un
known woman and an unknown boy.' Six
men are less seriously wounded.
According to reports, Troop B, of the
State Constabulary, under command of
Captain Robinson, has been ' ordered to
McKees Rocks, and, it is said, has al
ready started for that place.
How Rioting Began.
Last night's rioting came suddenly.
About 9 o'clock strikers were seen to
gather at Schoenvllle and at O'Donovan's
bridge, a viaduct spanning the- Pittsburg
& Lake Erie railroad tracks.
Suddenly It was rumored a number
of strikebreakers were being brought
from the city into the plant. Pickets
were immediately doubled. Every car
that came from the city was held up.
This procedure had been going on for
some time when a car carrying Dep
uty Sheriff Harry ' Hxler came along.

RESUMED
TAFT TO STAND PAT
ON TARIFF ISSUE
WILL DEFEND ADMINISTRA
TION'S RECORD TO LAST.
Announced President Is Perfectly
Willing to Discuss All Phases
of Measures Openly.
BEVERLY. Mass.. Aug. 23. It was in
timated at President Taft's ' cottage to
day that-the Administration was pre
pared to defend to the last ditch its
record on the recent tariff legislation.
This was unofficially stated in connec
tion with an announcement that Sena
tor Aldrich would be here Thursday to
discuss with the President the report of
the Monetary Commission and other
matters. These "other matters" are sup
posed to- include a talk on the tariff.
If the Western opponents of the new
tariff law expect silence from the Presi
dent, or a reluctance on his part to dis
cuss its different provisions, they will
be disappointed. The Administration has
burned Its bridges and is ready to de
bate any and all schedules.
The President has selected 250 census
supervisors and has 134 more to dis
cover. He hopes to find most of them
before he leaves for the West, as well
as members of the so-called Foreign
Tariff Commission.
The President defeated Editor Ogden,

AMERICAN
MAKES
THRILLING FLIGHT

at Rheims.
WILL TRY FOR BENNETT CUP

Event on Saturday.
PAULHAM SETS NEW MARK
Wins In Endurance Contest, but Is
Far Outspeeded by Bleriot and
LeFevre In Chance Races.
Wright Suit Is Censured.
RHEIMS, Aug. 23. Glenn H. Curtiss,
the American aviator, and M. Paulbam,
representing France, divided honors of
the second day of aviation week, the
former In a thrilling flight Just before
dusk, - In which he lowered the speed
record for the course, which measures
61-5 miles, to 5 minutes 35 2-5 seconds;
the latter making two impressive high
altitude flights of 49 V4 and 56 kilometers,
respectively, in the endurance test for
the prlx de la Champagne.
Curtiss' performance began Just as the
time limit for the start of the prix de la
Champagne was expiring, when the
American enthusiasts had abandoned
hope of seeing their representative take
the field. Bleriot only a few minutes be
fore had clipped 16 seconds off Le Fevre's
record.
Curtiss Starts Dramatically.
Suddenly, at the end of the field a cry
went up: "The Amerjcan is starting!"
Air eyes were strained to that particular
point, where Courtlandt Field Bishop,
president of the Aero Club of. America,
and a crowd of other admirers surround
ed Curtiss.
With a preliminary run along the
ground of 100 yards, the machine rose
lightly and shot by the tribunes at a
height of 60 feet. It was going a terrific
pace, with the wing level as a plane.
Curtiss made the last turn under the mis
taken Impression that the finish line was
closer. He descended so close to earth
that many thought he touched, but per
ceiving his error, he mounted quickly,
crossing the line majestically. An In
stant later the signal waa hoisted that
he had made a record.
Will Try for Bennett Cup.
Curtis said he had not pushed his ma
chine to its limit, adding that the most
interesting Incident of his flight was the
view he got of his fallen rivals, strewn
around the course.
The American aviator intends now to
await patiently the international event
for the Gordon Bennett cup, Saturday,
for which he is again the favorite, after
which he will try for the Prix de la
Vitesse, the final, of which will be con
tested on Saturday.
Paulham also made a record in the en
durance test today, but Le Fevre, Som

FUGITIVE CONVICT
ESCAPED PRISONER READY TO
BLIND BLOODHOUNDS.
Deputy Sheriff Beatty Captures H.
E. Roberts, Who Bolted Last
June Tries to Regain Gun.
Captured last night by Deputy Sheriff
Beatty, Henry E. Roberts, who escaped
from the State Penitentiary at Salem last
June,' was found to possess a box of
cayenne pepper, carried, he said, to blind
bloodhounds If they were placed on his
trail. He also bore a 38-calIber revolver
which he, despite his manacles, attempted
to seize from his captor's grasp. (
The fugitive convict was recaptured by
Deputy Sheriff Beatty last night at the
bridge camp of the Southern Pacific -Company
near Oswego. Beatty trailed him
from Metzgr Station to Durham and
Tualatin, thence over the same road to
Durham and from there to Oswego, where
the convict obtained employment with
the railroad company. , v
At the County Jail Sheriff Stevens asked
Roberts why he stayed in Oregon after
making his escape, where he was likely
to be captured. The convict replied he
had a long list of people he wanted "to
get."
Roberts Is believed to have burned the
barn of Oren Hathaway below Vancouver
a few weeks ago. At Metzger Station he
tried to Induce men employed there by
G. H. McEJroy In clearing land to leave,
telling them McElroy would not pay
them. He has maintained that McElroy
was one of the rrjen who secured his con
viction on a burglary charge a year ago
last March. Roberts Is also known as
Jack Baker and was serving a three
year sentence for burglary at the time of
his escape.
PROSPERITY HURTS ARMY
Men Will Not Enlist and Standard
Is Hard to Keep Vp.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. Returning
prosperity is having Its effect' on recruit
ing men for the United States Army, mak
ing it more difficult to keep up the stand
ard established during the time following
the panic of 1"7, when splendid material
was available from the ranks of the un
employed. The authorized strength of the Army is
84,500 men, exclusive of the ship corps,
which numbers 3500 men. It will not be a
hard matter, therefore, to reduce the
size' of the standing army, in accordance
with President Taft's wishes. Possibly the
cause for this reduction is the difficulty
of obtaining men, but the real reason is
one of economy. Every man reduced
means a saving of $1000, and by July 1
next the total annual saving will amount
to $8,000,000 a year.
