OPPOSITION AT HOME, TOO
Scheme to ' Force Statutory Pledge
Down Throats of Washlngton
iane Brings Out Decided Stand
i. by1- Big Men of State.
RBATLE Wash., July 10. (Spe
idaL) It is more than likely that
IHepresentive Miles Polndexter's efforts
to boost his Senatorial campaign will
;fail in at least two. particulars. One
is his attempt to curry favor with ex
JPresident Roosevelt, and to make poli
tical capital out of a visit to Saga
more Hill; and the other is the persist
nt scheming of Rufus R. "Wilson, Poin
nJexter'B manager, to force the statu
tory pledge.
"That Poindexter's glee over an inter
view with Colonel Roosevelt is 111
'tfimed is shown by a careful analysis
of an authorized version of the meet
ing. The Washington representative
..assured the ex-President of his sym
pathy with the Roosevelt conservation
;olicy. and the ex-President dismissed
ithe subject by stating that he was not
jlalking politics and that is all there
was to it. It follows that Poindex
iter's attempt to distort the interview
ind to twist it into a constructive in
dorsement will not draw much water
In the State of Washington.
Opposition Is Telling.
As to the statutory pledge, two mem
ifcers of the last Legislature have gone
squarely on record. They are Senator
'Arvid Rydstrom. bf Tacoma, and Repre
sentative E. A. Sims, of Port Townsend,
e candidate for re-election. The law
provides that the legislative candidate,
may, "if he so desire," pledge himself
Ito vote for the Senatorial candidate
who received the largest number of
votes of his party. Senator Rydstrom,
1n his answer to the Wilson circular,
bluntly says he will not support Poin
ilexter. first, because he is an Insur
gent, and second, because he comes
. rom Eastern Washington.
Representative Sims is equally clear
end emphatic In his statement, with
the exception that he does not speci
fically name Polndexter as being on
the political blacklist, as does Sena
tor Rydstrom. Mr. Sims does not say
that he will refuse to take the pledge;
on the contrary, he indicates that he
' may do so, but will never support
Polndexter.
Senatorial candidates were in de
mand for patriotic addresses on the
I'ourth, John L. Wilson spoke at Van
couver, Judge Thomas Burke at Iron
riale. and Judge John E. Humphries
eddress a gathering of Woodmen, one
of the numerous fraternal orders of
which he Is a member. Senator Wil
Fon has been campaigning in the South
west. an Judge Burke has just com
pleted his automobile tour of Eastern
Washington. Each candidate expresses
liimself as hopeful of the outcome.
This week has been marked by the
return of Senator S. H. Piles, who
lias indorsed the candidacy of Burke
end is attempting to deliver his
strength to him. It is understood that
efter a conference of the leaders, in
cluding ex-Governor Henry McBrlde.
Tiles will canvass Snohomish county,
"Where he is thought to have a large
personal following.
Wilson Gets In Good Work.
Mr. Wilson has been pouring hot shot
Into the Poindexter forces. Wilson has
taken the stand from the beginning
that the fight is between himself and
Joindexter. and on that account ap
parently has given to the Insurgent
Father more attention than to any of
the others.
Judge Humphries has denied repeat
edly a report that he stands ready to
withdraw from the Senatorial race,
provided he can secuTe the nomination
for the Supreme Court at the state
convention to be held in Tacoma next
month. At the Tacoma convention five
nominees will be chosen for the places
Kow occupied as follows: F H. Rud
Jin, of North Takima; M. F. Gose.- of
Pomeroy; jr. A. Fullerton, of Colfax:
leorge E. Morris, of Seattle; E. N.
Parker, of Tacoma. Rudkin is chief
justice, and it is said that if the King
county plan is effective he will be asked
to step aside in order to make room
for Humphries. Superior Judge Mason
Irwin, of Chehalis county, and State
Eenator Winthrop B. Presby, of Klicki
tat, are also possibilities for the
Supreme bench.
Plan to Save County $20,000.
Will H. Hanna, who. on the strength
of having been chief of the registra
tion bureau, is a candidate for county
treasurer, declares that if elected to
that office he will save the county J20.
000 a year. He attacks the system of
maintaining accounting and bookkeep
ing departments separately, and de
clares that the chief and one assistant
could be dispense with; there are
(seven personal tax collectors, when
Jour would be ample; 14 night checkers,
when half of that number could do the
work; 35 counter clerks, whereas 25
would be sufficient.
An echo of the recrimination and
animosities of the last municipal cam
paign has been heard through Austin
E. Griffiths, defeated candidate for
mayor. In an address in the Asbury
M. E. Church. Fremont, on the plans of
the Public Welfare League, Mr. Grif
'fiths proposed a recall election on
ilayor Hiram C. Gill, to be held during
the March elections next year. The
league objects to a restricted district,
and is waging a campaign against vice
generally.
Another incident suggestive of the
campaign has come to light in a. com
munication to Mayor Gill from an of
ficial of Edmonton, B. C, where A. "V.
Bouillon is superintendent of public
utilities at a salary said to T5e $10,000
a year. Bouillon was. also Gill's op
ponent for the Republican nomination
lor mayor, and bolted the ticket when,
he failed at the primaries. Now
Mayor Gill is asked to state what posi
tion Bouillon held: what his salary
was; whether he was dismissed from
the service, and whether he failed of
the nomlnat'on.
Camas to Have Water System.
VANCOUVER. Wash., July 10. (Spe
cial.) W. C. Elliott, a civil engineer of
Camas, has presentrd plans to the Camas
Council for a gravity water system, and
recommends that the city issue bonds
for at least J50.000 to carry through the
project. He suggests that two intakes,
one on the Little Washougai River and
one on Deer Creek, be built, so that in
case the water becomes-muddy on ac
count of logging' operations on one

KIIIST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OP VANCOUVER, WASH.
VANCOUVER. Wash., July 10. (Special.) The First Methodist
Episcopal Church of this city, which was rededicated last month after
having been remodeled at a cost of $6000 and receiving a new $3000
pipe organ, has an interesting history. The building is a successor
to one started in 1854 by Rev. C. O. Hosford, who now lives in Mount
Tabor. The present Edifice was begun in 1880, when Rev. L. A. Banks
was pastor. Bishop Warren dedicated it.
On the church books now there are more than 400 members. Rev.
William Park is pastor. To him much credit is given for bringing about
the remodeling of the church, which will now seat 800 persons. There
is a large balcony. This is the largest Protestant church In the county.
The church prides itself on the fact that it has never received any
assistance in a financial way from the mission board or the church ex
tension board.
NEW TRAIN SOUGHT
Klamath Falls After Better
Service From Portland.
WEED STOPOVER TEDIOUS,
Chamber of Commerce Will Try to
Hurry Extension of Southern
Pacific to Merrill Resort
Will Be Advertised.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., July 10.
(Special.) Klamath Falls .Chamber of
Commerce is going to make an effort
to get a better train service estab
lished into the city. At its regular
quarterly meeting the secretary was
instructed to communicate with the
head officials of the Southern Pacific
both in Portland and San Francisco and
ask that another train be put on the
run in and out of here daily.
At present there Ts only one daily
train each way. This leaves in the
morning, connecting with the train
south, and returns in- the afternoon,
leaving Weed just after the through
train from San Francisco pulls through.
Three hours later the through train
from Portland comes through Weed,
and passengers on this bound for
Klamath Falls are compelled to lay
over until the next afternoon before
starting on the rest of their journey.
Another Train Object.
The object of the Chamber is to
have another train put on the run,
if possible, and if this cannot be done,
the next best thing then is to have
the local schedule changed to connect
with the Portland train so passengers
and mail from both ways will get here
the same day without the Portland in
coming people having to remain over
night in Weed.
This would bring the local into
Klamath Falls at about 8:15 instead of
5.15. as the present schedule operates.
While this would not be entirely sat
isfactory, it is figured that the people
of the city better wait a few hours
later for their mail from San Fran
cisco and the passengers there had bet
ter lay over three hours at Weed than
have the Portland mail and passengers
remain there over 20 hours.
The matter of getting quick action
toward the building of the Southern
Pacific branch railroad from this city
to Merrill was also taken up by the
chamber and a committee, consisting
of Frank Ira 'White, Alex Martin, Jr.,
and R. H. Dunbar, was appointed to
take this up. The first move Is to
communicate with the Southern Pacific
officials to ascertain just what they de
mand before building this road.
Difficulties Are Presented. '
Some difficulty has been met with In
trying to get a right of way for this
line and there has been some fear this
branch would not be built. The com
mittee after finding just what the rail
road people will do. will take the right-of-way
matter up with the Merrill
Chamber of Commerce and endeavor
to assist in removing the obstacles.
The chamber also appointed Wilbur
White. Frank Ira White and E. M.
Chilcote as a committee to ascertain
the cost of a folder or pamphlet giv
ing all kinds of information about the
Summer resorts of the country. In this
booklet is to be information about all
of the fishing and pleasures as well
as scenic places, how to reach them
and the cost.
VARSITY TO BE BOOSTED
State Vnlverslty Has Booths at
Four Chautauquas.
. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., July 10. (Special.) The. university
is to have a booth at each of the four
Chautauquas, at Gladstone Park, Al
bany. Ashland and La. Grande this
year. Each booth will be in charge of
an Oregon alumnus and will be devoted
to the interests of the university and
the people of the state.
In addition to distributing literature
and doing the usual line of booster
work. Professor James H. Gilbert, who
is to have charge of the booth at Ash
land, will deliver a course of lectures
on economic subjects. Professor Gil
bert, after completing his course at
Oregon, went to Columbia University,
New York, where he received a Ph.D.
degree, specializing in money and
banking. Since then he has been in
structor of economics at the University
of Oregon. His work at Ashland will
begin next Tuesday.
The Chautauqua at La Grande opened
jasi luesaay. Jarl ciipatncK, o,
himself a La Grande boy, who this
year was principal of the Pleasant
Hill High School and next year will
be principal of the high school at
Oakland, Or., has charge of the uni
versity booth there.
Francis v.. Galloway, orator and de
bater, will have charge of the booth at
Gladstone Park.
An 'additional feature there this year
Is that Professor Irving M. Glen, the
head of the university school of music
and director of the glee club, and other
musical and dramatic activities at the
university, will direct the music for
the Chautauqua. His lecture recital of
Tennyson's "Maud," which is to be
given during the first week's pro
gramme, has attracted much attention
throughout the state.
The university representative for the
Albany Chautauqua has not been se
lected yet.
TICKET WILL BE NAMED
KLAMATH FALLS SOCIALISTS -TO
E.XTE11 CAMPAIGN.
Merchants Complain That Big En
campment Brought Them but
Little Business.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 10
(Special.) For the first time In the
history of the county a Socialist ticket
will be In the political field here dur
ing the coming campaign. D. E. Bur
rell, one of the leaders of the Socialists
here, said this morning that a full
ticket would be placed in nomination
this Fall. Who the men are to be is
not yet decided.
The Socialist encampment, which h'as
just closed here, has strengthened the
party, and from a membership of less
than 50, it now has some 150 in the
fold. While this party can not hope to
cut a very large figure, in the cam
paign this year, it is hoped, with this
basis to work on, to do something in
the future.
Considerable dissatisfaction is felt
here over the result of the encamp
ment. Klamath Falls business men do
nated nearly $2000 to get the encamp
ment on the representation that It
would bring no less than 5000 people
here, and. as an actual fact, 700 or 800
attended the encampment.
Instead of these people spending
their money with the business men
of the town while here, they had their
own restaurant on the grounds and
housed their people in tents erected for
them. They also had their stands
where all of the necessities were to be
purchased as well as the luxuries.
Tliev rIro ran n vanHoi.tlio i
connection with the other gatherings.
.ine peopie nere nave also expressed
some surprise that, although the en
campment was held through the
Fourth, when a big celebration Was in
progress here, not an American flag
was seen floating to the breezes over
the big tent city.
SALEM FACTORY BURNED
Ill-Starred Mill Is Destroyed; With
Loss of $4800.
SALEM, Or., July 10. tSpeciaL)
The last chapter in the history of the
ill-starred Salem Box & Lumber Com
pany came this morning, when fire of
unknown origin completely destroyed
the factory. The total loss is estimat
ed at $4800, with Insurance of $2600.
The fire was discovered- about 2
o'clock. When the firemen arrived the
flames had made such headway that
the building could not be saved. Be
sides the building, much valuable ma
chinery In the factory is completely
ruined.
The company went into bankruptcy
about two years ago and was pur
chased by Ladd & Bush, bankers, of
Salem, and Dr. J. W. Meredith, also Of
Salem. They in turn sold the plant
about two weeks ago. In the mean
time It had stood idle. The new pur
chasers are a Portland corporation and
it was planned to make furniture and
patent devices. It is not known
whether they will rebuild-
SHERIFF IS QUESTIONED
Executive Examines Jail, but Re
serves Comment Until His Re
turn to Columbus Officer
Blames Inexperience
NEWARK, O., July 10. The eudden
arrival ,of Governor Harmon late this
afternoon wrought consternation
among city and county officials, who
are threatened with Impeachment as a
result of Friday night's lynching.
Governor Harmon, Adjutant Way
brucht. Secretary Long and Lieutenant
Ben Chamberlain, of the Governor's
staff, arrived at the County Jail In an
automobile at 3:15 o'clock. The arrival
was absolutely unheralded and the of
ficials were taken completely by sur
prise.
The Governor demanded to be taken
over the battered Jail, and for 30 min
utes he and his staff examined the
structure minutely,' Sheriff William
Lincke explaining in detail every step
of the mob. The Governor personally
tested the bars and examined locks.
Officials Are Summoned.
Following the survey he ordered
Sheriff Lincke to summon Prosecuting
Attorney Phil B. Smith and the Mayor,
Herbert Atherton. On their arrival the
party held a star chamber session.
"I will have to take time to consider
this matter more thoroughly and any
comment I have to make will be given
from the Governor's office in Columbus,'
was the Governor's only statement to
the reporters.
Sheriff Lincke and Mayor Atherton re
luctantly discussed the meeting.
Sheriff Tells Story.
"The Governor wanted to know why I
did not stop the mob by firing if necea
sary," said Lincke. "I told him that
I was inexperienced in mob procedure
and did not realize the seriousness of
the situation until after the door had
been battered down. I then looked out
and saw facing me BOO gun a. In the
crowd there were dozens of women and
children.
"Had I ordered the boys to fire Into
the yard, the slaughter would have been
frightful and my family, as well as my
self and my deputies, would have been
murdered. He sked m why I did not
spirit the boy away in the afternoon. I
told him I did not realize the danger
men. trie asked many other questions
but I answered them all."
Mayor Is Questioned.
Mayor Atherton declared that Mr.
Harmon questioned him relative to the
recent alleged non-enforcement of the
law and his failure to call for troops
when he learned the true situation.
"I told him that I was enforcing the
law to the best of any man's ability,"
said the Mayor, "and that after I ad
dressed the mob, pleading with them
to disperse. I went home and went to
bed and thought they would do like
wise." The Mayor said both of the officials
told the Governor that although they
had faced the mob at different times
during the evening, they failed to
recognize a single face among the par
ticipants. Newark people believe that the Gov
ernor's hurried visit presages the im
mediate suspension of the Sheriff, and
possibly the Mayor.
CLIENT PROVES INSANE
ESCAPEI IiUXATIC WALKS IXTO
AtBAXY LAWYER'S OFFICE.
Manuscript of Grievance Betrays
John M. Kirby, Who Is Quick
ly Returned to Captivity.
ALBANY. Or.. July 10. (Special.)
To walk into his office and find an in
sane man seated at his desk busily
writing was the experience of W. R.
Bilyeu, an attorney, today. The lunatic
was John M. Kirby, who escaped from
the State Asylum for the Insane at
Salem yesterday.
Kirby walked into Albany this
morning and began a search for a
lawyer to advise him on several ques
tions which he imagined were troub
ling him. He found the law office of
Mr. Bilyeu unlocked and when the at
torney entered his office this after
noon he found Kirhy seated at his desk
writing busily. Kirby paid no atten
tion to the lawyer's entrance, but when
he completed the first page be arose,
handed It to Bilyeu and began writing
another page.
The man's actions had made Bilyeu
suspicious and a glance at the manu
script convinced him that the unan
nounced visitor was' crazy. Advising
Kirby on the questions on which he
sought information, Bilyeu induced
him to go with him to a telephone of
fice. After ascertaining that the man
with him answered the description of
the escaped lunatic, Bilyeu succeeded
In summoning Sheriff Smith, and TCirHv
is now in the County Jail awaiting the
arrival of officials to take him back
to the state institution.
Kirby says he was committed to the
State Asylum from Astoria in 1904.
THE SOLOIST AUTO-PIANO
The expiration of several basic patents on player piano actions, and the
invention and development of numerous important improvements upon exist
ing types of player pianos, together with increased facilities on the part of
several prominent manufacturers, make possible several very important addi
tions to the great line of high-class musical instruments for which EILERS
PIANO HOUSE has exclusive sale in Western America.
First and foremost among these is the Autopiano.
Ever since its inception we have sold the Autopiano in California. Dur
ing the past several years our sale of the Autopiano has been simply tremen
dous, and beyond the capacity of the factory to supply.'
Our California establishment now publishes a list of over 1800 Autopiano
owners, every one of them thoroufirblv satisfied and released customers.
Increased manufacturing facilities acquired lately by the Autopiano makers and the invention and intro
duction of numerous vital improvements exclusively embodied in the Autopiano have prompted the decision
oi n,JXHiCb rMA-NO HOUbE to introduce the Autopiano on a very extensive scale through Ore
gon and other Northern States.
Regular carload shipments of the now world-renowned Autopiano are being received at EILi-
J7T1CI TT k Trt TTVTTOT I -. .. ... - ,, ...
g jurvo r-j-aLNv javjuou eacn ween, ana every style oi Autopiano is now regularly carried in our
wholesale and retail stocks.
More Autopianos are in daily use than any other similar instrument. The wonderful play
ing qualities, the durability, and the artistic appearance make the Autopiano the recognized
leading instrument in this country and abroad.
Sold to His Holiness, Pope Pius X, by the Paris representatives of the Autopiano, its artis
tic merit brought forth the only written testimonial ever given by His Holiness, together with
a solid gold medal.
Last year the grand prize (highest award) was given the Autopiano at the Seattle A-Y-P
Exposition. The Rotterdam, Holland, International Musical Exhibition also awarded the Auto
piano highest honors. At both places the Autopianos were in competition wHh all the well
known makes of America and Europe.
Tetrazzini, in San Francisco, enthusiastically praised the Autopiano and bought an Auto
piano of us to be shipped to her sister's home in Italy.
Mary Garden and other famous artists have bought Autopianos for their own use, and have
testified to the merit of the Autopiano and unhesitatingly recommended it as the best player
piano.
Boards of experts of the United States and also of the English navy have invariably pur
chased the Autopiano for use on over thirty of the finest battleships.
Our San Francisco establishment has been awarded the orders for Autopianos on the U. F.
S. West Virginia, Maryland, Wisconsin, New York, Rhode Island. Chattanooga. Kentucky. Buf
falo, South Dakota, St. Louis, California, Yorktown, Alert, Connecticut, Chicago, New Orleans,
Albany, hospital ship Helief, marine barracks, and we have sold the Autopiano to hundreds and
hundreds of the best homes, clubs, lodges, churches, etc., throughout that state. An Autopiano
was recently sold by us to the Prince of the Royal House of Japan.
The wonderful soloist attachment, the five-point motor, the flexible striking fingers, and a
remarkable automatic shifting device are a few of the vast number of improvements exclu
sively found in the Autopiano.
EDLERS PIANO HOUSE reduced price polity will apnlv to the Autopiano. A splendid, me
dium size, fully warranted new model Autopiano will be sold for $482. while $735 and $865 will
secure the most superbly made art uprights, tha'i which nothing could be superior.
Catalogues wiU be sent upon request; terms of payment will be made to suit any reasonable
purchaser. We will take any piano in part payment for a new Autopiano.

A LINIMENT FOR EXTERNAL USE.
One. of the most valuable qualities of Mother's

softens the glands and ducts, prevents lumps forming in the breasts,
