Chicago Indictments Questioned.
Representative Link Keruse9 to
See State's Attorney, Who
Will Retaliate.
SPRINGFIELD, ni.. May 12. (Spe
cial.) Complications and Important
developments In the investigation of
the legislative bribery scandal came
today as a result of a trip of State's
Attorney Burke to 6t. Louis and to
Mitchell. 111. Briefly they are:
Circuit Attorney Selbert C. Jones of
St. Louis raised a question of the val
idity of the bribery indictments in
Chicago. He promised immunity to
any Illinois representatives who desire
to confess bribe-taking to the San
samon County grand Jury.
Representative Link, snubbed 'Pros
ecutor Burke by declining to
ee him. .Mrs. Link said he was out
at home. Burke was so angry that he
nsserted that he would have Link be
fore the Sangamon County grand iury
tomorrow and make him testify. The
question of the validity of the Chica
go indictments is so important that
State's Attorneys Burke and Wayman
are reasonably certain to get together
and discuss the question.
Mr. Jones' view was explained in
connection with the request of State's
Attorney Burke for immunity for as
semblymen who would confess. Mr.
Jones asserted that in Missouri there
is no legal provision for formal Im
munity, as in Illinois, but that he is
willing to release all bribe-takers from
prosecution in Missouri.
It is explained that it would be im
possible to get Illinois witnesses to
Missouri.
DIETRICH EXPLAINS ACT
W. AV. r. Condemnation Cases Get
Half-and-Half Decision.
MOSCOW, Idaho. May 12. (Special.)
Whe ruling of Judge De.ltrieh in the Fed
eral Court yesterday in the Washington
Water Power Company condemnation
cases, wherein the power company is
peeking to condemn the land of about
300 settlers bordering on Lake Cour
d'Alene and river for the purpose of
overflowing the lands by reason of its
power dam at Post Falls, was partly
galnst the company and partly in its
favor. Judge Deltrlch when requested to
explain tho effect of his ruling stated
"I sustained the demurrer to the com
plaint on the ground of uncertainties,
and especially as to this particular party,
because there appears to be involved in
it the question of sufficient valuation to
give the Federal Court Jurisdiction."
The net result of the proceedings so far
means that the Washington Water
Power Company must amend its bill of
complaint, which will be subject to at
tack by demurrer again, and the pre
liminary rulings mean that the power
company can, in certain cases where the
Federal court has Jurisdiction, condemn
lands for the purpose of manufacturing
electricity for sale on the grounds of
being a public service corporation.

LONDON. May 12. From a life of
comparative ease and retirement, King
George suddenly finds himself one -fof the
hardest worked officials of the kingdom.
In addition to spending considerable
time daily at Buckingham Palace com
forting his widowed mother, he has to
attend to multifarious duties connected
with receiving and entertaining the royal
guests and arranging the difficult details
of the lying-in-state and the funeral.
Seven o'clock each morning finds His
Majesty at his desk in Marlborough
House to reply to the innumerable mes
sages of condolence and to receive his
ministers and the officials in charge of
the obsequies. Today he had a long spe
citl interview with John Burns, president
of the local government board. The aft
ernoon he spent with the queen mother,
and in the evening he went to the sta
tion to meet and escort the King of Den
mark to Buckingham Palace.
Roosevelt to Be Among Kings.
Ex-President Roosevelt, who has been
named as special envoy of the United
States to attend the funeral, will be pre
sented to King George soon after his ar
rival in London on Monday. Mr. Roose
velt, as Special Ambassador, will occupy
a place with the visiting monarchs in
the funeral procession and also will at
tend the burial at Windsor.
The lying-in-state involves a great ad
dition to the programme for the funeral,
which will hardly be completed before
Sunday. The procession to Westminster
Hall on Tuesday for the lying-in-state
will be on almost as great a scale as the
funeral procession. The cortege will in
clude King Goorge and all foreign sover
eigns on horseback. and the queen
mother and the royal ladies in carriages.
The body will be received by members
of the House of Lords and the House of
Commons, while the choirs of Westmin
ster Abbey and the Chapel Royal and
the band of the Coldstream Guards will
take part in the musical service.
Trafrtc Will Stand Still.
When the funeral procession starts on
Friday, every tram car in London will
come to a standstill for a quarter of an
hour. It also is proposed that all public
houses in London be closed while the
procession is passing. -
The Queen Mother has been exceedingly
busy since the death of the King. She
has received a great number of visitors,
who have been privileged to enter the
death chamber. These Included, besides
most of the members of the Cabinet and
the leaders of the opposition, many am
bassadors and other officials connected
with the court and intimate friends of
King Edward.
Sinn Fein Refuses Sympathy.
A note of discord in the universal
mourning comes from Dublin, where, at a
meeting of the corporation today, seven
members of the Sinn Fein Society voted
against the Lord Mayor's resolution to
send a message of sympathy and condo
lence to the Queen Mother and the royal
family.
Hundreds of carpenters1 are building
mauds along the route of the funeral pro
cession. Twenty-live to 150 is obtainable
easily for a single seat at points of van
tage, while a small upper room with a
couple of tiny windows overlooking the
street is considered a bargain at JSO0. On
the more fashionable thoroughfares, like
Piccadilly, from fcXXW to J0 Cis. asked for
the use of single rooms.

PRAIRIE CITY, Or.. May 12. (Special.)
Tom Richardson, publicity manager of
the Portland Commercial Club, spoke to
a full bouse here last night, and started

of the work being done by the commer
cial organization in Baker City and of
how important it is for Baker City to
advertise the fact that this is the way
to the great inland country.
Mr. Richardson's address was full of
the booster spirit. His enthusiasm so
enthused those present that when he
had finished his speech every man in the
house signed'the Prairie City Commercial
Club enrollment and congratulated him
upon the way he had adapted his speech
to the locality.

GREEDGAUSEDOUTBREAK
JAPANESE EXPLAIN TROUBLES
IX CHAXGSHA,
Antl-Manchu Uprising Feared at
Pekin, and Leaders of Move
ment Are Hunted.
VICTORIA, B. C, May 12. Japanese
refugees from Changsha who arrived in
Japan shortly before the sailing of the
steamer Kamakura Mam, say that pecu
lation by Chinese officials was the cause
of the recent outbreak.
Mr. Suzuki, a Japanese postmaster, said
that when rice was distributed to the
famine sufferers last year, the Governor,
Tseng, defrauded the people of 20 per cent
of the allowance of grain and many died
of starvation. Their bodies were collect
ed and buried In one grave and resent
ment against the Governor, together with
fears of returning famine, resulted In the
outbreak, followed by attacks on missions
and foreigners.
The statement that Governor Tseng had
been killed is denied. It is. said he hid
himself in a poor Chinese -house end a
servant who put on the fugitive Gover
nor's clothing was killed in mistake for
him.
Many of the Japanese refugees had
stirring stories of narrow escapes to tell.
They got away with only the clothing In
which they stood.
A widespread anti-dynasttc movement is
feared by the Chinese government, the
ringleaders having established themselves
at Shanghai, Tientsin, Hankow and other
places to carry on a propaganda of revo
lution. The State Council has voted a
large sum of money to trace down the
leaders.

MORRIS GUILTY, VERDICT
(Continued From First Paga.)
knew his fate when the blue-backed
verdict made out by Mr. Cameron was
handed to the court, for the one made
out by his attorneys was of a different
color.
Judge Gantenbein announced that he
would pass sentence at 9:30 o'clock
Monday morning. Attorney Seneca
Fouts, representing Morris, asked that
the time be set for Saturday, but as
the law provides for 48 hours between
the time the verdict is returned 'and
the time of sentence. Judge Gantenbein
said he did not care to inject error Into
the case by passing sentence Saturday.
Mr. Fouts asked that 30 days bo al
lowed in which to file a motion for
a new trial. Judge Gantenbein con
sidered 20 days sufficient. Mr. Fouts
then asked whether It would be nec
essary to file a new bond, and was told
that, if Mr. Cemeron was satisfied with
the one already up. a new one would
not be required. Arthur L. Flnley and

You don't believe all the fish stories you hear;
"the one that got away" is always a big one;
but it's seldom as big a "whopper" as the story he tells
about it. You don't believe all the clothes stories you
hear, either; some of them are like the fisherman's tale; there's noway
to prove it. Now, we've got a good clothes story to tell you; it's about
HART SGHAFFNER & MARX CLOTHES
and we've got the goods to prove what we say about them. They're better than any
description of them; they're all wool, which means a lot more than those words con

and make him look and feel well dressed. That's why we sell them, and that's why you ought to buy them.

In instructing: the jury, Judg-e
Gantenbein explained the term, "rea
sonable doubt." said criminal Intent is
a necessary element in embezzlement,
and that "a person cannot as a director
.or other officer of a corporation enter
into, a valid contract on behalf of the
corporation with himself In his in
dividual capacity for his, own private
gain. A person acting: in a fiduciary
capacity," he continued, "is required to
exercise the utmost good faith, and
the law will not permit such person to
place himself in a situation in which
he may be tempted by his own private
interests to disreg-ard tho&e of his
principal." The judge told the Jury
also that Morris must have had the
consent of the board of directors of
the Oregon Trust & Savings Bans:
lawfully to substitute his Home Tele
phone stock: or anyone else's for notes
belonging to the bank.
Among the Instructions requested by
Morris' attorneys, and given to the
jury by the court, was a paragraph rel
ative to the alleged embezzlement of
the $50,000 In cash, and stating that to
find Morris guilty of this part of the
charge the Jury must find he actually
converted to his own use the "identical
articles." TTntted States coins, bank
notes, checks, bills, drafts, bills of ex
change and valuable securities. As
the state never succeeded in proving
that the brown envelopes Morris took
contained United States coins, or any
of the other things enumerated, the
Jury failed to find Morris guilty of this
part of the Indictment.
Judge Gantenbein refused to instruct
the Jury, as requested by Attorney
Fouts, Sweek and Gordon, that W. H.
Moore was the ranking officer of the
bank, and also refused to tell them that
it is one of the usual and customary
powers of a bank president to com
promise and adjust claims, in the shape
of notes and accounts held by a bank.
He did tell them they should not take
into consideration whether or not the
depositors of the bank were paid, or
what the telephone stock is now worth.
