BOTHA FREES NOTED REBEL
South Africa Cabinet's Act, Papers

dent's Displeasure on Score

LXDOX, June 2. Theodore Roose
velt's Guildhall speech is again the sub
ject of long editorial comment in most of
the Ljondon morning newspapers.-
The new Botha cabinet of United South
Africa yesterday decided to release
Dinisulu. son of the famous Chief Ccto
walo, who is serving a term of four
years' imprisonment in Natal for harbor
ing rebels, and give him a yearly allow
ance of $2500, subject to his good be
haviour. The London radical morning papers
sarcastically express the hope this act of
clemency will not incur Mr. Roosevelt's
displeasure, on the score of "sentimentality."
by Richard "Ward Montague, one of .the
members of the board of directors' of
the Portland Library Association. Mr.
Montague's talk as well as that of one
other speaker of the evening, ' Arthur E.
Bostlck, of St. Louis, Mo., and repre
sentative -of the Library Association,
dealt with the important subject of the
companionship of books. Mr. Bostick
began his discussion with the separation
of ---ke- -written -and spoken- language and
outlined at length a plan whereby the
-two might unite through better individual
understanding, the union of the man and
the book, being he sald. a most desirable
thing.- -He- divided his subject into three
divisions, books for information, books
for recreation and boks for inspiration.
"The beat kind of books for recreation
purposes are those that are gently stimu
lating," said the speaker. "There is
drunkenness in reading as in other lines
of intemperance, and an abnormal love
for fiction, and a perverted misuse of
novels is infinitely 'worse than no recrea
tion from books."
The programme as originally given out
has been changed, and parts of the num
bers transposed. The round table for
small public libraries which was former
ly announced for the third session
this afternoon, will instead convene this
morning at 3:30 o'clock and the session
which was to have met this morning will
meet tonight at 8 o'clock.
- This afternoon is to tie given over to
a motor trip about Portland.
JIKAItST POURS OUT TIRADE
Violent Attack Made on Roosevelt
for Guildhall Speech.
LONDON, June 2. (Special.) W. R.
Hearst has telegraphed the Daily Mail
from Paris a column and a half vio
lently attacking Roosevelt for the
Epeech at Guildhall yesterday. He says,
among other things:
"Kvery true American abroad ar
dently wishes Roosevelt would cease
claiming to represent American ideas
4n foreign countries, and that he would
go home and attend to his own busi
ness. Self-respecting Americans are
tired of seeing this self-advertising in
dividual parading Europe, claming to
represent a democratic Nation, while
seeking to ingratiate himself in un
democratic ways with representatives
cf monarchies and empires.
"Americans who love their country
ind believe in republican Institutions
are shocked and outraged to hear this
supposed -representative of republi
canism preaching oppression of subject
states.
"The United States is being misrep
resented abroad by a tin soldier, a
toy Colonel, who, although unwilling
to submit to discipline for the few days
he served in the Army, has been for
ever since trying to inflict military
methods and arbitrary rule on his own
people and others."

Raises Laugh- ly Reference - to
. Speech on British Affairs. "
LONDON, June 2. (Special.) William
J. Bryan, . lecturing before the Young
(Men's Christian Association at Bradford,
raised a laugh at the expense of Mr.
Hoosevelt,' whom, however, he did not
name, by . saying when he (Bryan) was
traveling in a foreign country, he did not
discuss that country's politics, .because
as an '"outsider- he did not regard him
self as sufficiently informed to enable
litm to discuss politics with intelligence.
Moreover, as a guest of foreign people,
lie would account it a poor repayment
of their hospitality to descant on con
troversial subjects, which his entertainers
understood better than himself. He added
he had found religion was a universal
subject. " which, more than any other, he
could talk about outside of his own
country without giving offense.

CHIEF KOHLER WINS POINT
Immorality Charge Falls Flat With
Woman on Stand.
CLEVELAND, O., June 2. The second
day of the trial of Chief of Police Fred
Kohler, Cleveland's Uolden Pule Chief
on charges of immorality, intoxication
and insubordination, was favorable for
the defense.
The prosecution put on the stand their
star witness, a woman who was ex
pected to prove the more serious charges
of immorality. In substance, all the
testimony she gave was that 6he had
once seen Chief Kohler drinking wine in
a disorderly house.
The next most important witness was
Patrick J. Brown, an ex-policeman at
Muncie, Ind., and one of the two men
who signed the charges.
Brown complained that on one oc
casion when his automobile had been
stolen, Kohler refused to listen to his
complaint, and had ordered him out of
his office. On cross-examination, he ad
mitted he had. bet money on the result
of the trial, and that he had also made
a bet of $20 in January that he would
'get Kohler yet."

E PROJECTED
Triangular Contest, Touching
Three Big Cities of Middle
West, Announced.
COMPETITION TO BE OPEN
Sleeting Will Be Conducted In Same
)
Manner as Automobile Speeding
and Will Probably Be Held
Some Time In October.
ST. LOT7I3, Mo., June 2. A. E. Lam
bert, president of the Aero Club of St.
Louis, announced last night plans for an
aeroplane race over a triangular course
from Chicago to Indianapolis, thence to
St. Louis, thence to Chicago.
Mr. Lambert said that while an aero
plane flight between the three cities
would be the most severe test for heav-
ier-than-air machines ever attempted,
it was entirely feasible. Almost any
number-of machines can compete in
the proposed race, which will be con
ducted in the same manner as a race
between automobiles, he said.
The purse is expected to be about
$40,060. Of this amount, the three aero
clubs in St. Louis, Chicago and Indian
apolis will provide S5000 each and the
balance will be made up from the 70 or
more towns along the proposed course.
The race probably win be held in
October.
AVIATOR PURSE TO BE MADE
$10,000 Will Be Put Up for Flight
of 88 Miles.
ST. LOUIS, June 2. Governor Had
ley and Commissioner of Immigration
Curran of Missouri started a fund to
day that is expected to reach $10,000
which will be given to the aviator who
flies from St. Louis to Kansas City,
a distance of 288 miles. The Governor
and the Commissioner each subscribed
$100 to the fund.
It is expected that $5000 will be
raised here and a similar amount in
Kansas City. The flight must be made
within 24 hours, with as many stops
as the contestant finds necessary.
"ELEVATOR GIRLS" LATEST
Innovation at University of Chi
cago Meets With Favor.
CHICAGO, June 2. The "elevator
girl" has appeared in Chicago for the
first time. M. H. McLean, superintend
ent of buildings and grounds for the
University of Chicago, was the em
ployer.
The girls operate the cages in Green
and Foster dormitories for women at
the university. Mere man is not per
mitted above the first floor of these
buildings, even if he should be chained
to the interior of the elevator cage. -
What action the Elevator Pilots'
Union will take on learning that wom
an has invaded its province, is not
known. The two girl operators at the
university will probably be left in
peace by walking delegates until the
employment of girl operators becomes
a feature, perhaps, of downtown office
buildings.
The two girl operators were "on the
job" bright and early. There was no
report of a car being sent through the
roof. .
Girl ushers, ticket agents and tele
graph operators are numerous, but this
is the first time a girl has been em
ployed regularly as an elevator pilot.
CROP DIVISION IS MADE
VETERAN TREE COLLAPSES
Ancient Elm Breaks During Breeze,
Blocking Railroad Tracks.
After weathering the elements for . 60
years, an elm tree at the northeast corner
of Fourth and Couch streets known as
the "Horseshoe Elm" gave way before a
stiff breeze and fell across the street,
blocking traffic for an hour, shortly after
6 o'clock last evening. The tree snapped
at the roots. In the attendant upheaval,
the sidewalk in the vicinity was shat
tered. An incoming passenger train on
the Southern Pacific Railroad was held
up by the fallen tree for half an hour.
The elm was planted soon after the old
George Hoyt homestead was platted, over
half a. century ago. A horseshoe,
nailed to its trunk about that time
continued to remain, ingrown in the tree,
and was sawed out last night. A nearby
saloonkeeper fell heir to the memento.
Several electric wires were carried down
in the fall of the tree. The broken ends
were gathered up and placed out of the
reach of the crowd of spectators who
watched the dissection of the veteran
elm.
BARRY RANCH PURCHASED
Portland Capitalists Invest $2 00,
000 in California.
RED BLUFF, Cal., June 2. (Special.)
The Barry ranch of 10,000 acres, near
Cottonwood, in the northern part of
Tehama County, has been sold to a
syndicate of capitalists of Portland, Or.,
according to a report made here today.
The selling price of the great ranch
is said to have been about $200,000.
and the purpose of the purchasers is to
irrigate and subdivide it for. coloniza
tion. The ranch is all tillable, has 200
acres in orchard trees and several
thousand acres in grain. The Southern
Pacific Railroad and two main electric
power lines cross it. making power for
irrigation pumps easily available.
Potatoes on Hills, Wheat on Low
lands, Rule at Dayton.
DAYTON', Wash., June 3. (Special.)
Showing a consequential transition
involving adaptabilit of different
crops to different localities, the bulk
of the potato crop of Southeastern
Washington and Eastern Washington
will this year, for the first time, be
produced on mountain farms. Years of
experimenting have developed the advis
ability of abandoning foothill farms for
wheat-growing. It has been proved
that this high land produces potatoes
of the finest quality, while grain does
only fairly well. As a consequence, the
lowland farmers are to stop potato
growing and raise grain exclusively,
while the upland farms are to produce
the potato crop.
That this- year's potato crop will be
the largest on record is the assertion
of growers at Dayton, Walla Walla,
Witsburg and Prescott, the lour prin
cipal centers of production for this
region. Principal varieties this sea
son are Burbanks, Gold Coin, Late Rose
and Early Efforts.

TWO MEN DEFY OFFICIALS
Farmer and His Foreman Stand
Against Invasion.
PENDLETON,. Or., June 2. (Special.)
, Armed with a double-barreled shot
gun, and reinforced by -his foreman
armed with a hammer, Fred A. Yates,
a Hermiston farmer, has successfully
held at bay all day the entire force o
Government officials and employes on
the Umatilla reclamation project.
It seems that Yates had filled up
what he thought was an abandoned
ditch and set out. his fruit trees as
though no ditch were there. Mecently
he was notified that the Government
intended to open up the ditch, where
upon he replied that he would not per
mit it to be done. Accordingly, when
the crew of laborers arrived at the
scene this - morning, the belligerent
farmer and his bellicose foreman were
encountered.
Late this evening the two still held
the fort and the ditch was unopened.

Snyder's Murder Details Told
and Retold.
STATE RESTS HINTON CASE
Sheriff and his prisoner and another
behind.
At a point two miles above the town
Casaday was told to turn over his gun.
Snyder was ordered out of the hack
and placed on a horse. A rope was
put about his neck and an attempt
made to hang him to the limb of a
nearby tree, but- the rope was too
short.
The terror-stricken prisoner was
then ordered to dismount, when Bert
Green is alleged to have asked him if
he killed his brother Arthur.
"I killed him and am glad of it," so
Snyder is said to have replied.
After the tragedy Casaday returned
to Hamilton and reported that he had
been held up and his prisoner taken
from him and killed.

tion in, the trial of Ben Hinton, charged
with murder. The state rested its case
at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
All the evidence, however, is hearsay,
based on statements alleged to have
been made by the accused men before
arrests were made. The prosecution
has endeavored to establish the ex
istence of a plot for the killing .of
Ollie Snyder, in, which it is alleged
that Deputy Sheriff Casaday was a
party.
According to the stories related by
witnesses Wednesday. Casaday and Bey
mey, after capturing Snyder, took him to
Hamilton on the afternoon of Decem
ber 25 and in the saloon of G. V. Mc

nesses testified, was sent to bed and
Casaday started for the county seat
with his prisoner in a hack about 2:30
o'clock in the morning. One man rode
