CENSUS TAKERS IN
general public in riding on the cars of tbe
United Railway, it seems to me that the
bitter controversy between the town of Linn
ton and the railway company ought to be
submitted for settlement to the State Rail
road Commission. As it is now, it dam
ages unnecessarily both the community and
the company, and the courts are power! e
to determine the ultimate issue, which 1b

adequate remuneration to the company for
the service rendered?
The court can fix the responsibility un
der the contract and enforce it, but aJl the
courts in Christendom can not permanently
maintain railroad transportation where it in
rot remunerative. In Central and Western
Oregon that has been tried several times
with uniformly disastrous results, and it
can not be done any more than one can
keep a reservoir full with more water run
ning out than is running in.
Many people think of a. Railroad Commis
sion as a device to lower rates only, but
Its power to raise them in a proper case
Is upon principle just the same and is
based upon exactly the same considerations
the public service and its proper mainte
nance. Suppose a company has, by an im
provident contract or otherwise, fixed too
low a rate. It is not a common occurrence,
but a perfectly possible one. It can not, of
course, maintain it. Tbe mere attempt to
do so spells failure. Or let us suppose that

Io you know that the Census
Bureau Is In the Lumber Exchange'

Is ready to send somebody around

Inadvertently overlooked any person?
Yesterday was the busiest day recorded
in the office of Census Supervisor Beach,
who is in charge of counting- the people
of the Second Congressional District of
Oregon. Apparently awakening to the
fact that only four more days are left in
which to secure a full and accurate count
of the city of Portland, the headquarters
were deluged with offers of assistance.
Among those who came forward with
Information which will be of value in re
cording the wonderful growth of the Rose
City were R. W. Wilbur, Frank T. Dodge,
superintendent of the water works sys
tem; Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, II. C. Camp
bell, J. M. Gallert and Colonel Beebe.
The principal and teachers of Chapman
- School reported that they had caused an
'Inventory of the neighborhood of the
building to be' made and that the net re
sult was 40 omitted families.
George S. Shepherd occupied a few mo
ments at headquarters with a practical
suggestion, which is thought to be appeal
ing to every citizen. Mr. Shepherd pro
posed to take one day off from business,
or so much of It as may be necessary, to
make a complete canvass of the block in
which he resides. He urged that every
citizen do at least that much.
At the rate of one for every three min
utes all day long, the telephone calls
came Into census headquarters yesterday.
Many of them wera reports of omissions
and still others developed into tenders
of automobiles and river launches for the
last days of the work. The census head
quarters will remain open practically day
and night from this time forward? In
spectors will be there at all times, and
the supervisor intends to remain "on the
job." except for a few meals and a dozen
winks of sleep.
Checking is now in progress, 24 dis
tricts having been completed, and the
enumerators assigned to assist in other
parts of the city.
When arraigned before United States
Commissioner Cannon yesterday Henry
J. Sperling, arrested for failing to answer
the enumerator after three calls at his
saloon, opposite the entrance to the ball
grounds, admitted that he had been a
little "stubborn" in the matter. He pro
duced the blanks for a number ofhis
roomers over the saloon and promised to
aid Enumerator Taylor in securing the
information. The hearing was continued
for one day, in order that witnesses
.might be produced in the case. Sperling
is a man of intelligence and told the
court that he thoroughly understood the
purpose of the census. His only excuse
was that he was busy on all three occa
sions when Taylor called, the last visit
being ill-timed because Sperling was eat
ing his dinner.

MEDFORD, Or.. April 26. (Special.)
The census-takers In this city are rapidly
rounding up their work. As nearly as

One of the enumerators in talking of
this large average said:

Mrs. Florence V. Klippel, wife

was buried in River view Ceme

Railroad in California. Mrs.
Klippel was well known here, be

and a sister of Mrs. Carl Zimmer
man. here and Oregon City at $1- This Is too
high and destroys the railroad's value as
a public convenience, and the commission
promptly reduces the rate in the interest of
the public. Would we not all concede this
to be right and proper?
On the other hand, suppose the company,
by an Improvident contract or in anticipa
tion of a large traffic, fixes a rate of 6 cents,
and from the traffic that actually Is de
veloped, can not maintain it. Then Is H
not eoually right that the Railroad Com-'
mission should promptly raise the fare to
a remunerative figure? The proper main
tenance of the road is just as necessary to
its public use as are reasonable rates upon
It. In other words, the public from a decent
regard to common honesty and in its own
interest must give as well as take.
I am not asserting that a fare of 5 cents
is too low a tare to Llnnton; as a matter
of fact, the railway company could prob
ably well afford to sell commutation tickets
to actual residents for 5 cents, charging, per
haps. lO rents to others, but the matter
ought to be finally and quickly determined.
Fixing correctly the reasonable remunera
tive rate Is the only final determination that
will abide. The Linn ton people need not
fear the results of such an appeal to the
Railroad Commission, for, after all." stable
and f.xed transportation at reasonable rates
Is the essential thing.
Witness the west side of the Willamette
River from Portland south to Oregon City. This
section has had railroad transportation for
only half the distance and this of the
Southern Pacific variety, with high charges
nevertheless, for the last four. or five years
It has enjoyed a veritable boom. Hand
some houses are going up everywhere, and
land that I was glad to sell four years ago
for $100O an acre now commands $7000 and
$10,000 an acre. Much of it is absolutely
unpurchasable, while Linn ton way, in just
as beautiful a country, the railway row. is
stopping everything.
By all manner of means, let the people
and the railway company get together and
settle their differences once for ail. A pros
perous community can not be built up on
the basis of a foolish contract, but only on
the basis of honest value given and received.

LIND MAY REFUSE HONOR
Minnesota's ex-Governor Wants No
University Presidency, If Offered.
Advices were received in Portland
last night that John Lind, ex-Governor
of Minnesota, now engaged in the de
fense of C. A. Smith and the Linn
Lane Timber Company, in the . Federal
Court, probably will receive an offer
of the presidency of the University of
Minnesota. His name has been pre
sented to the board of regents, and
has met with favor, but Mr. Lind says
he will not accept the position.
"The fact that my name has been
mentioned in this connection I regard
as a 'high honor," said Mr. Lind. "At
the same time, if an offer of the presi
dency is made to me, I shall be com
pelled to decline. I have served on
the board of regents for several years
and still occupy that position. For
that reason. If for no other, I should
feel It my duty to decline the presi
dency. "As one of the regents I have been
carrying on negotiations with several
prominent educators, with a view to
calling one of them to head the uni
versity. Woodrow Wilson and Presi
dent Hill, of the University of Mis
souri, are among those with whom I
have corresponded."
In addition to serving as Governor,
Mr. Lind represented a Minnesota dis
trict in Congress for eight years.
He was associated with Blnger Her
mann in many of the committees, and
yesterday expressed sorrow at the
news of the serious illness of the ex
Commissioner of the General Land
Office.

United States for the exclusive use of
members of the American Order of In
ventors within a year, according to a
statement made by officers of the organi

"We shall build an inventor's home in
Portland that will contain everything in
the way of tools, appliances, etc., that
may be needed by a man who has con
ceived a new device and who has not the
funds to construct it," said G. Y. Harry,

manner that will warm the heart of every
struggling inventor in the country.
"We shall also maintain in the head
quarters of each State Abba a complete
Patent Office library, together with a'
well-equipped model-designing and draft

of the organization, there are almost 3000
inventors in Oregon who will become
members.
Letters have been received from all over
the Northwest since the announcement of
the formation of the order. Pleas for aid
or advice came In large numbers from
men who are firmly convinced they have

ORB'S SCARS HOLD HIM
COCKT BEXIES WRIT OF HAB
EAS CORPUS ASKED,
Man Fiphting Against Return to
Prison as Escaped Convict
Loses First Round.
Grabbing Frank Orr by the arm with
a surly, "Come on," Ietective Coleman
hustled hi prisoner off to Jail yesterday
afternoon after Circuit Judge Bronaugh
had denied a petition for a writ of habeas
corpus. Orr 1s Junior partner in the elec
trlcal firm of Knight & Orr, doing busi
ness at 183 Morrison street, who was ar
rested by Coleman recently on suspicion
of being George Adajns, alias Orr, who
escaped from the officers at Pasco,
Wash., early in October. 1908. while being
taken to the Walla Walla penitentiary to
serve time for burglarizing a Tacoma fur
niture store.
Orr has stoutly maintained his inno
cence, but the strong resemblance be
tween him and the Orr who se'rved time
In the Walla Walla penitentiary on a
previous occasion for 'burglary convinced
Judge Bronaugh. The Judge noticed a
peculiar small cut in the top of the right
ear. This appears in both photographs.
Orr also has a 32-point mariner's" com
pass tattooed upon his right arm. The
same mark was upon the arm of Adams,
alias Orr, who escaped. A scar running
diagonally along the inside of his left
forefinger and three peculiar scars over
his left eye made the identification more
complete. Orr came to Portland from
the North soon after the escape of
Adams; R. B. Robinson, the officer who
arrested Adams In Tacoma, Identified the
prisoner as the same man who escaped
from him at Pasco; D. O. Smith,- an offi
cer from Tacoma. said electrical tools
were found In Adams' room after his ar
rest. Indicating that he was an electrician,-
and officials from the Walla Walla
penitentiary, where Orr pre-lously served
three years, positively identified the pris
oner as the same man. The Orr who
served time was an Englishman, and the
prisoner said yesterday he was born in
London, England, in 18S1, coming to Bos
ton on the Cunard liner Saxonia, in Octo
ber, 1902.
Although Orr gave a lucid account of
his movements from the time he left
Liverpool, in October, 1902, until his ar
rest by Detective Coleman upon Informa
tion furnished by a stool-pigeon, he had
no letters or other documentary evidence
from friends to corroborate his state
ments. Among those who positively Identified
Orr were N. L. Lovell. of the Walla
Walla penitentiary; Fred 8cott, chief
Jailer at the penitentiary: W. H. Mead,
superintendent of the Jute mill; John
Fitzgerald, captain of detectives at Ta
coma, and R. El Robinson, the arresting
officers in Tacoma.
The extradition papers from the Gov
ernor of Washington arrived yesterday,
and Orr will be taken before Governor
Benson immediately. Judge Bronaugh in
timated that it would be well for Orr. If
he hopes to establish an alibi before the
Governor, to secure letters from his for
mer employers and people who knew him.
SMITH PUT UP MONEY
KOSEBIRG BANK RECORDS
SHOW KRIBS GOT $200,000.
Defense Admits Payment of Money,
but Declaes Minnesota Million
aire Was Innocent of Fraud.
Admitted by stipulation, the records of
the First .-National Bank of Roseburg
yesterday exhibited conclusive evidence
that the money furnished to Linn County
entrymen In 1900 by Frederick A. Kribs,
timber cruiser, came from the coffers of
Charles A. Smith. Minnesota millionaire
from whom the Government is endeavor
ing to recover title t. 68 Oregon timber
claims.
Entry No. 1 was on April 12 of
that year, when Kribs made a sight-
draft for J30.0"0, which was honored by
Smith at the Swedish-American National
Bank of Minneapolis. The date was Just
one week 'prior to the taking of final
proofs and payment of the Government
price of $2.50 per acre on 33 claims. At a
later date In May, Kribs again drew for
a single sum of $40,000. Altogether Smith
furnished Kribe about $200,000 during
April and May, 1900.
While payment of the money was ad
mitted by the defense. Attorneys Lind
and Ueland" stand pat on the assertion
that Smith did not know that he was
purchasing lands which were being ac
quired from the Government as the re
suit of a conspiracy between S. A. ' D.
Puter and Horace McKlnley. They draw
the fine distinction by argument that
Kribs. as agent for 6m1th. may have
known that a conspiracy existed, but
that the principal cannot be bound by
the corrupt acta of the agent.
Another defense Indicated by those con
nected with the defense in the three
cases-now on trial will be reliance upon
the definition of conspiracy delivered by
Judge Hanford in the trial of ex-Repre
eentative J. N. Williamson. At that time
it was declared that it could not be
considered unlawful to borrow money in
good faith to prove up on a timber claim
McKlnley testified that Puter and him
self were trying to borrow the money in
good faith, and In that way Smith came
into the deal.
Counteracting that claim Untted States
Attorney McCourt pointed out that at
the same moment that Kribs furnished
Smith's money to prove up and take
mortgages In his own name, the entry
men were required to deed the lands
to John H. Wllld, now admitted to have
been acting for Smith as a matter of
convenience.
'In the examination of witnesses every
oiitryman testified that while he only
hoped to make from SM to 5100. promled
by McKlnley, they felt at liberty to sell
the lands to whomsoever they thought
fit.
With the conclusion of the case affect
Ing 33 timber claims, another, involving
title to 17 claims in Linn t ounty which
were filed upon and title acquired at a
later date than those covered by case
No. 8320. was presented to the court.- Tine
17 claims were secured at a date sub
sequent to that named as the date of
the appearance of F. A. Kribs in Linn
County and at the Roseburg Land Office.
William Billings went on the stand and
testified that when he appeared at the
Roseburg Land Office to make a filing
at the request of Meahty Bros., he was
furnished papers In which a portion of
the lands wanted by the Northern Pacific
Railroad were Included. Kribs, he said,
was there, and aided the entryman in
correcting the filings. Afterward the
land, covered by that claim, was ac
quired by Smith, and now reposes in the
ownership of the Linn-Lane Timber Com
pany. Fred Wodli, of Linn County, testified
for the Government that he had seen

Across the face of the check was written
