PRICE KEEPS. UP FIGHT EFFORT MADE TO EVADE ORDER FROM CALIFORNL. Kept in Jail on Local Charge, De fendant's Attorney Will Resist Effort to Remove. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. June 24. (Special.) Detective Lord, of San Francisco, arrived this evening from Salem, where he had secured requisi tion papers to take George L. Price, the telephone promoter, to California to answer the charge of issuing fictitious checks. Lord says Price is the man wanted, but from present Indications he must make a fight to get his man out of the Jurisdiction of the local courts. This afternoon, when Price was arraigned on the local charge under which he was arrested when released yesterday by habeas corpus, his attorney, C. M. O'Neill, waived preliminary hearing, and he was bound over to the grand Jury under $2500 bonds. While the District Attorney will make no statement other than Price will be turned over to the San Fran cisco offloer in the morning, O'Neill said .the requisition was of no effect, and as Price was charged with a local crime and held to the grand Jury, he would see that he was not taken out of town until that body acted on the charge of disposing of lottery tickets made against Price. He said he knew nothing of Price's record in California, but he believed in fair play, and it seemed the officers only brought the charge to hold the man, but he intended to see now that he was kept here for the action of the grand Jury in the matter. He said further that If the local officials turned Price over to the California officer, and Lord attempted to take the prisoner out of town, they would then be guilty of kidnaping, and he -would see to it that the law in this regard was enforced.

Instead, Development of Water Power Would Be Welcomed -J.. J. Browne Ridicules Idea of Huge Trust Controlling. PHXDLETTOX. Or., June 24. (Special.)

Browne, of Spokane, president of the Columbia Valley Bank of Wenatchee, and president of the Coeur d'Alene Bank & Trust Company, created a sensation this afternoon at the session of the fifth annual convention of the State Bankers' Association, which began its sessions here this morning. He was not on the programme, and his speech was delivered near the close of the afternoon session, when as a promi nent visitor, he was invited to address the convention. In response to the invi tation he said the only subject on which he was prepared to speak was "Conser vation." Bankers Cheer Address. He launched forth on such an eloquent condemnation of the policy so dear to the hearts of Plnchot and his followers that the audience of bankers was soon cheering him wildly. At the close of his address the dele gates crowded around to grasp him by the hand. Inetead of fearing that someone would grab up our water-power sites and our mines, he said, the people of .the North west should welcome with open arms anyone who should come out and build dams and erect factories and power plants. He ridiculed the suggestion that there was any -danger of any trust get ting control of all the water-power avail, able in the United States, and Instanced that to be found in the Columbia River basin and the Puget Sound, saying that if it should be developed at the rate of 10,000 horsepower a year It would require 2440 years, or 600 years longer than from the Christian Era to the present time, to develop It all. Unequal Taxation Defined. The speaker declared that the policy of demanding a royalty for the use of the water-power, for the coal to be taken from the mines and the timber to be taken from the forests, was equal to a tax upon the states west of the Rocky Mountains, and not upon the older states. He expressed a willingness to pay a tax upon anything that all the states were taxed upon, but unwilling to pay a tax upon anything, little or big, that the older states were not compelled to pay. About 75 ' bankers are attending the convention from various parts of Ore gon. Tonight they are enjoying a smoker and boxing match, while tomorrow they will be taken on a 25-mile automobile ride across the wheat belt to Wenaha Springs, where a trout banquet will be served.
