BT LLOYD F. LOXEBGA N".
XEW YORK. May 1. (Special.)
Why has William Randolph Hearst in
dorsed President Taft?
This Is the question that the average
politician has been unable to answer.
For there Is no precedent of Hearst
ever indorsing- a living" man. Hereto
fore he has confined his eulogies to
Lincoln and Jefferson.
The "political view" of the problem
was expressed by an old-time Repub
lican :
"Hearst Is afraid that Roosevelt will
come back as a candidate in 1912.
Hearst has never forgiven Roosevelt
for calling- him the 'real slayer of Pres
ident McKlnley So Hear3t Intends to
do all lie can to boost up the Admin
istration, not because he likes Taft.
but because he is a foe of Roosevelt.
"Wlier; Hearst's party will go this
Fall depends upon later developments.
The league leader is thoroughly satis
fied that he holds the balance of power,
and he intends to pay off some more
old grudges this year. Hen in his con
fidence say that the attitude of Hearst
will depend upon the stand taken by
Roosevelt. If the ex-President takes
command of the Republican party In
this state, Hearst will undoubtedly run
his own ticket or fuse with Democracy
and call attention to the danger of 'an
empire.' If Roosevelt sticks to his lit
erary work Hearst will probably find
thiit the most important thing to do
Is 'to purge the party of the rascals
who are masquerading as Democrats.
"Whether he fuses or runs his own ticket
Is a matter for future consideration."
Graves Is Reprimanded.
Hearst's statement, by the wf.y, has
created a coldness between him and
his justly celebrated editorial writer,
John Temple Graves. Although Graves
ran for Vice-President on the Hearst
ticket In 190S, he did not do it willingly,
and has always regretted that he
severed his alliance with the party of
which he had been a member since boy
hood. For Graves is real old line
Southern Democrat.
Therefore, when be got a chance he
delivered that speech in Washington
convincing everybody who did not
know that Hearst was ready to be ac
cepted by the party that twice sent
him to Congress and once ran him for
Governor. And Graves was very happy
for a few days, believing he had made
a masterstroke.
Then Hearst hurried to ' Washington
and told Graves, In so many words,
that the Independence League only had
one voice, and that voice belonged to
William Randolph Hearst. If there
wore any statemen ts to be made, he
I ear st) would ma ke them. W her eat
M r. Graves sulked and sulked, and
sifice has not been heard to any extent.
President Taft's appointment of Gov
ernor Hughes is regarded with favor
by both the friends and foes of the
Now Yorker. The friends declare It is
;i .icserved honor, the foes are happy to
fcft Hughes out of the way. And
Hughes is happy, because he has landed
the place which is the ambition of
fvery high-class lawyer. The general
I'lipresslon is that he has been prom-
k..l t tif h i of J 11 sfri r-li i r when "fn 1 lpr
ret ires'.
Term Practically Finished.
As the Governor will not have to
take his new office until October, he
will, to all intents and purposes, finish
out term. There will be no Legis
lature to contend with, no patronage
to give out, and Governor White will
simply be a figurehead for a, few
months.
Although Hughes will take no active
part in politics, it has been generally
agreed that the man who will run for
executive this Fall will be personally
acceptable to him. The party leaders,
chastened by reverses and expressions
of popular disapproval, are ready to let
Hughes name anyone he thinks can
win. They hav gradually learned the
fact that Hughes is much closer to the
people than is the "organization.
Another interesting development In
local politics is the rapid advance of
Attorney-General Wickersham. Sena
tor Root is practically In the "Down
and Out Club, and the reins of gov
ernment have been quietly picked up
by Wickersham. who, before his ap
pointment, was practically unknown,
even in New York, except among law
yers. Sentiment Vndergoes Change,
"While the Allds trial was pending
the Administration lound that the ac
cused had pledges from sufficient mem
bers to insure his acquittal. These
pledges were not based on the evidence,
it must be stated, but because the Sen
ators did not "want to be too hard on
poor Jo."
Root admitted that he could not do
anything to f tem the tide, so Wicker
sham took un the task. He quietly
pulled wires i:re and there and the
Allds majority melted away. Man after
man went to Allds and told him he
could not stand the pressure. And
finally Allds had to resisrn to escape the
Ignominy of being thrown out. But even
then the Senate held that the charges
were proven, and the resignation did
not help the Senate leader to any great
extent.
The next evidence of "Wiekersham
niinp" came during the tlprht that
George "W. Aldrldge made to go to Con
gress. "Wickersham opposed the nom
ination, as did Root and Vice-President
Sherman, but Aldrldge had the delegates-
and refused to listen to argu
ments. After the fight had been under way
for a few days, Aldrldge sent frantic
calls to Washington for aid. He de
clared that he was battling to uphold
the Administration and that he wanted
some recognized representatives of
Taft to come Into the district and make
speeches so that the party issue would
lie clearly drawn.
Grips Are Unpacked.
Two men of National fame, who hail
from New York, had their grips packed
and were ready to go to Rochester, but
thev never started.
The story is that they were seen by
Wickersham, who told them that the
president did not regard Aldridge as
a man entitled to party support ; that
It was men of the Aldrldge type who
had imperiled tne luiure of the G. O.
y. Mr. Taft, it was stated, was willing
to ignore tne Aiariage tight completely,

necessary, both President Taft and Gov
ernor Hughes would publish letters re
pudiating Aldrldge.
The "men of National fame" unpacked
their grips and remained in Washing
ton. And Aldridge was defeated.
During this special election Governor
Hughes was subjected to much criticism
because he did not take a pronounced
stand against Aldridge, This incident
explains why. He simply took the same
attitude as did the President, main
taining silence as long as everybody
else did.
And it also goes to show that Taft
and Hughes have worked in harmony
and are likely to continue to do so in
the future.
FAMOUS SCULPTOR DEAD
JOHN QVICY ADAMS WARD IS
xo mo'ke.
Ills Equestrian Statues of Great
American Men Known for Ex
cellence Throughout World.
NEW YORK, May 1. John Quincy
Adams Ward, one of America's greatest
sculptors, died today at hia home here
In his 80th year. He had been ill three
months. He Is survived by his widow,
who was at the bedside, and by a
brother, Edgar llelvllle Ward, a
painter.
The body will be sent Tuesday to
Urbana, O., where he was born, for In
terment. Mr. Ward spent practically his entire
life in New York City, having come
from Ohio in his youth. His first
teacher in sculptory was Henry P.
Brown, with whom he collaborated in
the famous equestrian statue of Wash
ington, in Union Square. Among his
other well-known works are equestrian
statues of Sheridan and Hancock, in
Philadelphia, and in New York City,
the sta,tues of the Indian Hunter, the
Pilgrim, Shakespeare, all in Central
Park. Henry Ward Beecher, In Bor
ough Hall Park. Brooklyn: also statues
of Commodore Perry at Newport, Tt. I.,
and Israel Putnam, of Hartford, Conn.
Shortly before his death, he completed
a statue of Hancock for the Smith
Memorial in Philadelphia.
Daniel C. French, a pupil of Ward's,
In paying tribute to his genius tonight,
recalled how Edwin Booth, the great
tragedian, posed for the Shakespeare
statue and gave helpful suggestion for
arranging the folds of the cloak.
"But his greatest work," said Mr.
French, "a work which St. Gaudens
pronounced the finest equestrian
statue in the world is the statue of
General Thomas in Washington. There,
the horse is a real horse In every de
tail. Mr. Ward knew horses and loved
them."
CONVICT COUNTESS WEDS
HI . la
New Husband Taken lay Linda 1 ion
martini Famous Trial Recalled.
VIENNA. April 30. (Special.) From
Milan there has passed through Austria
an Interesting character, fresh from an
extraordinary interview. This was Dr.
Kgidi, professor of Italian literature,
and the latest husband of Countess Bon
martini. All the world remembers the famous
Bonmartini trial, which resulted in the
condemnation of the Countess Linda
Bonmartini to 15 years' imprisonment
for instigating her brother, Tullio
Murri. to murder her husband, the Count
Bonmartini.
Tullio remains in Viterbo prison, com
pleting 30 years" confinement, but th
Countess was let out, under supervision,
two years ago, by the Conservative
Premier Baron Sonnino, to please the
Socialists, who favored her.
The Countess immediately engaged
Egidl to teach her two children, and
with him fhe went last year to Norway
to thank BJorn&tjerne BJornson for his
efforts on her behalf during the trial.
The journey developed the attachment
between the professor and the Countess
into love. So they have just had an
Interview with Brother Tullio in Viterbo
Jail, to enable the Countess to present
her new spouse. This echo of the trial
that stirred all Europe has roused much
discussion in social circles.
ACTRESS IS PIPE SMOKER
French JMayor Prefers Meerschaum
and Dry-Cut to Cigarettes.
pRIS. April 30. (Special.) Women
may smote cigarettes and even cigara,
almost anywhere, except in som Ameri
can hotels. t people usually draw the
line at pipes. Yet a pretty French actress
now appearing in one of the Paris thea
ters is notorious among her friends for
smoking a pipe. She has been Interviewed,
on the subject, and her first words were:
"Why not? Why should anyone object?"
She was told that nobody did object,
but, nevertheless, people were curious to
known why she was so fond of a dudeen.
Well." she said, "it came quite natural
lv." It was not so long ago when she
had to play a part in which she was
supposed to be smoking a pipe. She
bought a very pretty meerschaum, filled
it with a flavory dry cut, and, to make
it more realistic, eha smoked it, and
found it delicious. Since then she has
continued to take pleasure In her pipe,
and though she no longer acts the part
on the- slage, she likes it in her home.

ON BOARD REVENUE CUTTER TA-
HOMA. Nanalmo, B. C. April 29. (Spe
cial.) Thus far, the Mazama Mount Mc-
Kinley expedition has advanced on its
way under favorable conditions.
We left Seattle at 10 A. M., April 27,
and ran to Port Townsend, where the
cutter anchored for the night. Yesterday
morning, early, we got under way. For
a time the sea was somewhat rough, and
most of the party was pretty sick; but
all recovered in time for a hearty break
fast. The rest of the journey to this port
was one of delight, through smooth
waters, between beautiful wooded islands
with, snow-capped mountains In the distance.
That splendid mountaineer and guide.
A. Ij. Cool, has become the official hu
morist of the party. Yesterday ho
donned his mountain-climbing uniform
and paraded the deck, much to the envy
of his companions. He thinks as soon
as ' he gets his powers of expression
(which have suffered somewhat from
long Isolation) Into practice again, he
will be able to keep .'hings going. Cool
is strictly loaded for bear, and those big
Alaska grizzlies had better travel farther
north.
Joe Ridley will probably be elected of
ficial philosopher of the expedition. He
spends most of his time on deck in quiet
appreciation of the beauties of the scen
ery. Joe is well known to most of the
Mazamas, who highly appreciate his
mountaineering abilities.
Frank Rojec, our official photographer,
is "Johnny on the spot" with his camera,
and never misses an opportunity for a
good picture.
Captain Quinan and his officers are
certainly treating us royally. Everything
In their power ts being done to help us
in the enterprise. We have all been
assigned comfortable quarters, and we
have all the comforts and many of the
luxuries of city life. Captain Quinan
is deserving of every good thing in the
power of the Mazamas to bestow.
The Tahoma is a beautiful little boat,
remarkable for its smoothness of motion.
This morning we shall take on coal here,
and get away about noon. For some two
days more we shall enjoy the scenery and
the quiet waters of the "Inside Passage,"
after which we shall take to the open sea.
Then, for five daysv good-bye to the
peace and happiness of the individual
members of the Mazama Mount McKinley
expedition.

very lowest price such fascinaiing gowns have ever been sold for in Portland,
Not fifteen or thirty, but one hundred silk dresses in surpassingly distinctive

This announcement is made with the full knoWlQdge of its sensational nature.
No store could utter such extravagant statements without being prepared to
assume responsibility of meeting the public's expectations.
Every desirable color and shade, such as pastel tints and a complete range of
tones now seen in the choicest silks and satins. Lace yokes and undersleeves,
braid and satin trimmed. No C O. D. or mail orders and no exchanges.
