"COLONISTS" TAKE FRIGHT Deputies Active, but Only Two Warrants Are Served. EXCITEMENT MARKS CLOSE Rattle for Nominations Had Been Strongly Personal Republican Who Seems to "Have Won, Favored "Restricted"' Vice.' SEJATTLK, Wash.. Feb. 8. (Special.) With the polls closing at S o'clock to night and a heavy vote cast In every ward and preeir-ct, counting of the ballots has been slow, but at 11 o'clock tonight It ap pears that Hiram C. Gill, Republican candidate for the nomination, lias de feated his rival, A. "V. Bouillon, and that William Hickman Moore, ex-Mayor, will be the choice of the Democrats for the head of the ticket. Voting was spirited all day and what started as a tame election would end up tonight In all kinds of excitement. Armed with warrants. Deputy Sheriffs watched all day in the precincts where evidence of illegal registration had been disclosed. Only two warrants were served. Owing to the fact the determina tion of the officers to send every man to jail who attempted to cast a fraudulent vote was clearly understood, the floaters failed to vote and thereby escaped ar rest. Colony Vote Falls Ofr. In the Third. Fourth and Fifth precincts of the First Ward, where the coloniza tion 1n the cheap lodging-houses had been notorious, there, was a heavy falling-off in the vote. More than Soo men In these precincts who were grouped about the polling places declined to vote. The num ber of ballots a.t was about 50 per cent of the registration. In an argument over the right of men to vote, Councilman James Conway, who was out for the Republican nomination, engaged in a net fight with his opponent, if. P. Decker. Many stout blows were utruck. but no blood flowed. Personal Factor Large in Fisht. The campaign which ended tonight was one of the hottest ever known in the turbulent politics of Seattle. As early as last Fall the strife began with an agita tion, backed by Implied accusations of graft, for reform in city affairs. The as sault was directed particularly at the hoard of public works and the office of City Kngineer. ljiter. there developed a situation which eclipsed other questions momentarily and directed public Interest to the redlight problem. This, in turn, declined, and to the front came a discus sion of the personal fitness of the as pirants for Mayor. Although it had been known for a year that Hiram C. Gill, president of the City Council, would run for Mayor. A. V. HouiUon was first to declare himself. He became a possibility in a peculiar manner. As Superintendent of Public I i 'Unites, he became so obnoxious to City Kngineer R. H. Thomson that Mayor .lohn F. Miller was forced to cut a gor dian knot by removing Bouillon summar ily. The public believed Bouillon was dismissed for doing his duty. He re ceived so much backing that he became an avowed candidate for Mayor. When Mayor Miller appointed Bouillon Superintendent of Public Utilities and president of the Board of Public Works, he gave out this statement: Mr. Bouillon lias made a brilliant record a civil and mechanical enplnoer: .he is a fearless and rupabi executive, and ho has no political lies. He will be absolutely free to curry out the polices that are best for the public at large. --C'aiifr Kule" Cry Raised. But when Bouillon started to enforce his policies lie clashed with Thomson. He was succeeded by Thomson as presi dent of the Board of Puhlic Works, and, persisting In his activity, he was officially decapitated. The following are stated reasons why Bouillon lost his place: He insisted on a permanent record of every niffUng of the Board of Public Works. H insisted that contractors on local im provements should Kive valid reasons be fore sfcurlns extensions. Be urKfrl that where no (rood reason was given for d-.ay. the contractor be obliged to pay the penalty. He objected specifically to the action In the ease of lde & Jones, who had a contract for two refcervoirs near tiroen Lake. It was shown that thev neg lected one contract while completing the other ahead of time: and they were award ed H bonus of JS.-.00 on the one. whlV. the penalty on the -ither was remitted. Bouillon Insisted that contractors follow speolncHilons. particularly In concrete work. He opposed awarding a contract In which a covert onvr had been made in a letter separate from the contract Itself. He demanded an Investigation of a lamn contract, wherein it was ald that a pur chasing ogent had accounted for only $"5 out or a collection of J13O0. He domntuied an Investigation of a charge made by K A. and Ned Ronev that thev had been obliged to pay lo0 for a house moving permit. The stir caTised by the publication of the allegations, together with a belief that the "gang at the City Hall" was riding with a high hand, gave Bouillon tremendous standing among the element opposed to Thomson. Bouillon was re garded as a martyr to principle and he was looked upon as the man who ought to be Mayor. He began his campaign with a specific declaration that, if elected, he would remove Thomsotv but this he has since modified by a statement that he will remove Thomson.- unless the City Snglneer is shown to be above reproach. 'Restricted District" Favored. Gill entered the campaign with a dec laration that he had no strings on him: that he proposed to establish a restricted (Concluded, on Pag, T.) Home-Coming From Africa to Be Made Occasion of Nation wide Importance. "WASHINGTON. ' Feb. 8, -John A. Stewart, president of the New York League -of Republican Clubs, arrived hern today and will confer .with President Taft tomorrow regarding the home-coming celebration in honor of ex-President Roosevelt. ' A cable message was received in New York today from Mr. Roosevelt granting the Republican Club's request for per mission to form a reception committee with representatives from all over the country to meet him on his arrival in New York harbor some time between June 15 and 21 next. President Taft is giving his hearty support to the plan for a Nation-wide reception. It has not yet been determined whether President Taft will be able to take any part. He has promised to go to Alaska the latter part of May, pro vided Congress has adjourned by that time, and if he should take the trip ha would not return to the States until some time in July.

Pearsons, of Hinsdale, announced three weeks ago that he would make a general distribution of his fortune on April 14 next, his 90th birthday, the intermittent stream of letters has grown to a steady torrent, amounting to more than 600 daily. Dr. Pearsons has given away $4,000,000 in a score of years, and vows that he will die pen niless. "I give almost nothing to individ uals," Dr. Pearsons said. "It is to the colleges In the new West and poor sections of the South that most of the money will go. I have so arranged my affairs that; at my demise there will not be one cent to quarrel over. I don't know yet how much I shall give away In April, but it all will be to those on a list already made out. At the' University of Copenhagen there la an endowment fund 900 years old, not one cent of which has been lost or wasted, and a German mission society has maintained a SSO.000 fund for more than a century. All my gifts are to be given with this in view." JOCKEY FINDS HOME Henry Rhelnstrom and Bride Will Live in Los Angeles. IX.S ANGELES. Feb. .8.

CAPTAIN BARTLETT AT HEAD Difficulty in Raising Funds Thought Unlikely. START PLANNED FOR JULY Scientific' Body Passes Resolutions Setting Forth A'alue of Explora tion In Antarctic and Accepts Peary's Offer Joint Work. WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. America has decided to seek for South Pole laurels similar to those won for her by Com mander Peary at the North Pole. The National Geographic Society today re solved to send an expedition in search of the South Pole, provided the necessary funds can be raised. It is not believed there will be any failure on this score. Commander Peary was notified , imme diately of the action. Captain Bartlett, in command of the Roosevelt on Peary's trip to the North Pole, probably will have charge of the Antarctic expedition. After a meeting late this afternoon the board of managers of the Geographic Society adopted the following resolutions: Resolutions Are Adopted. "The National Geographic Society be lieves it Is of great Importance to science that tidal, magnetic and meteorological observations shall be made at or near Coats Land in the same period that the British expedition under Captain Robert S. Scott is making similar observations on the other side of the Antarctic area, 1X00 miles distant, and at the same time that the recently discovered land shall be explored. "The society is ready to accept Mr. Peary proposition that it shall under take jointly with the Peary Arctic Club an expedition to the Antarctic regions as outlined above, provided that the board of managers, after consultation with members of the society, finds that the project will receive sufficient financial assistance to warrant the undertaking." July May See Start. It is thought probable-the expedition may be ready to sail as early as July. The rapidity with which financial assist ance is forthcoming will determine the date. No spirit of rivalry to the British at tempt to reach the South Pole is being manifested, it was declared, in the Amer ican expedition. The latter, which is to make its starting point at Coats Land, will travel over a territory hitherto en tirely unexplored, while much is known, especially from Lieutenant Shackleton's work, of that on the other side of the South Pole, where he reached a point 97 miles from the goal. Jurists Are Confirmed. WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. The Senate today confirmed the reappointments of Fletcher M. Doane as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona and Frank W.

"I will have Albert yet," she continued convul sively clasping the boy to her breast. , Mrs. Yank drove ... to the .Imperial grammar school at noon and called to the child for whom she and Dr. Miller have been contesting for four years. Little Albert dropped his baseball with a cry, "here's mamma," and ran to her. The woman --helped the boy into the baggy and struck off across the desert- Sheriffs Mobley and Meadows, two depu ties, ten constables and four City Mar shals started afield.

OTHER MEMBERS ALSO PAID Six Thousand Dollars in En velopes Passed to 3 Men. BRIDGE FIRM INTERESTED Xante of ex-Senator Piatt Is Brought in by Quotation From better Discussing Bill That Fend ed Before Legislature. ALBANY, N. T., Feb. S. The "man who handled the money'' was brought before the State Senate today by Senator Ben Conger to confirm Conger's charge that Jotham P. Allds. its majority lead er, accepted $1000 for influencing legisla tion. He proved to be Hiram G. Moe, veteran ex-bank cashier of Groton, where Conger lives. He declared positively that, the capitol, on April 23, 1901, he had handed Senator Allds an envelope containing nooo. The purpose for which this alleged transfer of money was made did not appear In the direct testimony, but Sen ator Conger filed an affidavit in which he declared that the payment was made upon Alld's demand, "In the interests of the American Bridge Company." Moe declared he gave $4000 to another legislator and $1000 to a third. Man Sent to Bank Now Dead. The man who Moe said was sent to Albanj with this $6000 is dead. He was Frank Conger, brother of the Senator, and, at the time the events occurred,, vice-president of the bridge company. The only other witness today was Will iam A. Smith, editor of the Owego Times. Owego w-is the home of (-.v-Vr'ted States Senator Thomas J. Piatt. Smith testi fied that In 1901 the Owego Bridge Com pany was threatening to move its plant If: certain legislation became law. The witness appealed to Senator Piatt and received the following reply. Piatt's Xaine Dragged In. "According to Alld's statement the bill that passed is not objectionable to the bridge people, provided the other bill is held. There is no doubt the- other bill will remain in the committee." There is an Impression here tonight that the introduction of Piatt Into the contro versy is welcomed by the defense, and that It opens a way for Senator Allds to plead that he only followed the instruc tions of the former Republican leader of the state. N Fair Association to Klect. OREGON CITY. Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) The directors of the Clackamas County Fair Association, elected last Saturday afternoon, will meet next Saturday In the offices of O.

"f you claim thart personality le both matter and mind, both physical energy and consciousness, are we not completely destroyed when death claims our bodles-V is the question Dr. Carl H. Guthe. pro fessor of physics at the University of Michigan answered today on the proba bility of life after death, -without refer ence to religious theory. He said: "Our life If the constant growth of hu man Intellect, closely connected with the development of the body. But we know that there is a continuous Interchange pf cells, decaying and -forming, and yet, though living tissues may. In the course of time, be entirely reneked, individual ity continues to exist; It remains one and the same, therefore life after death Is proved on scientific grounds. "But even the matter and energy, which has been glvn off from th living body has not disappeared, it Is still in exist ence, though disconnected from the life giving principle. "While have to content myself with the assertion that the mind -is as indes tructible as matter and energy, my tirm belief In evolution and in an orderly plan of the universe leaads me to doubt that there can be any retrogression in its development." PONTIFF'S ACT EXPLAINED Archbishop Ireland Says Pope Was Right in Snubbing Fairbanks. CHICAGO, Feb. 8 A statement was given to the Associated Press by Arch bishop Ireland today, in which the arch bishop says: "People in America may easily misap prehend the circumstances in Rome which led the Vatican to refuse an audience with the holy father, to Mr. Charles W. Fairbanks after he, a former Vice-President of the United States, would have made a public address before the Meth odist Association of that city. "It was not a question of Mr. Fair banks being a Methodist or going to a Methodist Church in Home for Sunday devotions. It was a question of appear ing to give the fullest approval to the work of the Methodist Association in Rome. "The purpose of the work of the Meth odist Association lit Rome is confessed openly. The means employed are by no means honorable. They take every ad vantage of tlie- poverty of the poor of Rome. . Books circulated' an& displayed in the windows of their bookstores are slan ders against tile Catholic faith, the holy pontiff at Rome, and a misrepresentation of the whole Catholic system. "Now, a public address by a former Vice-President of the United States, be fore the Methodist Association, can have no other meaning in the eyes .of tha Roman public than American approval of the propaganda of the Methodist As sociation."

FIGHTER'S TRIAL PUT OFF Court Proceedings May Delay John son's Meeting With Jeffries. NEW YORK, Feb. S.

LINE DRAWN AT SHAVES Contrast Drawn Between Floetins Stay in Paris and Lingering in Turkey, Where Member's Wife Received Decoration. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Demanding an investigation of the Immigration Commission provided for in the resolu tion he had introduced. Representative Macon, of Arkansas, renewed his at tack upon the Commission In tha House today. Mr. Macon vigorously defended his informant, J. H. Patten, secretary of the Immigration Restriction League, who was severely arraigned by Repre sentative Bennet, of New York, a mem ber of the Commission, in a recent speech in the House. "It is characteristic of the man to proceed in the cowardly way in which the gentleman from New York has pro ceeded,' thundered Mr. Macon, re ferring to the New Yorker's attack on Patten. "I object," said Mr. Bennet, and tha members were all alert. ' "I withdraw the remark," quickly re sponded Mr. Bacon, and the tension was dissipated. Extravagance Is Charged. Mr. Macon's speech was made in re sponse to Mr. Bennet's defense of the Commission, and he renewed his charges that the Commission had been extravagant. He declared that offi lal reports and expense accounts corrobo rated his assertions that Its trip abroad in 1907 was a "junket." and that the Government had had no adequate re turn from the expenditure by the Com. mission of $657,993. "Unless my resolution to create a commission of three to investigate the extravagance of the Commission is adopted, so the country will know that the extravagance I complained of is scandalous, the people will rise and smite the party that attempts to shield the Commission that made it," said Mr. Macon. "Six members of the commission and seven employes made the trip to Europe." he said. "They drew $90,000 on which to make the trip, and In their report, they account for only $30,675. Tips Charged in Bill. "The expense accounts are made' up of steamship and railroad charges, car riage hire, fees and tips, hotel bills, tele graph, wines, whisky, cognacs, lemonades, glaces, siphons, citrons, cigars', cleaning and pressing clothes, shaves, shines, hair cuts, shampoos and rub. "Such luxuries as wines and whisky, cognacs', lemonades, etc., were allowed by the auditor, but he disallowed when it came to shaves, haircuts, shampoos, shines -and .cigars." Mr. Macon characterized the slaying at high-class hotels and partaking of their menus and beverages as "feasting at Government expense." Commissioners Sec Sights. He asked Mr. Bennet to explain why he could take time to engage in gorgeous festivities in Turkey, where his wife was decorated with the insignia of the- "Order of Kindness," and ancient Turkish so ciety, by the Sultan, if he could not find time to draw a long breath in Paris or cast his eyes upon St. Peters in Rome. This was in reply to Mr. Bennet's state ment that his trip to Paris was record-' breaking for brevity. Basing his remarks on inspection of the. official records Mr. Macon charged that In the Holy Land the Commission made a carriage, trip from Jerusalem to Bethany and from Jaffa to Jerusalem; that in London they had a carriage to the Am bassador's and return, a carriage to the House of Lords, to Westminster Abbey, to the Tower of London, to Regent Square and the British Museum; that in Syra-; cusc they bad a carriage to the Cata-j combs; that in Messina they had a rido. in a landau; that in Scotland they had a pleasure, ride to the castle of Edinburgh,, and in Ireland to the famous Lakes of Killarney. Accuser Is Sarcastic. "The Commission wanted to find out the kind of immigrants that came to this country from all these places, including the Catacombs, where sleep and decay the bones of the departed," said Mr.' "Macon sarcastically. ' He suggested that to have gone to Mr. Bennet for his information, as Mr. Ben-1 net suggested, would have been as practi cable as to runt "devils. In heaven or!, saints in hell." t Election to Congress, he continued, was not conclusive evidence of integrity, nor did it make Mr. Bennet Immune from attack. "A much larger percentage of Congress men, whether members of the House or of the Senate, have been charged with crime and made to stand trial for fel- CConcluied- on Fagf JJ
