Hoff, of Multnomah (present . incumbent). Delegates to the Republican State As sembly finished their work early yester day afternoon, after an arduous and dln nerlesa session, and adjourned with three hearty cheers for the party. Harmony preva'"fnM for the most part through the closing; hours and the concourse of dele gates left the Armory firm In the belief that rehabilitation of party had been got firmly under way. Completion of the state ticket, ratifica tion of the various district recommenda tions and consideration of resolutions consumed the session. Choice of men for the remaining places was made expe ditiously, although balloting was required In most cases. A firm foot was set by the assembly on the movement for the so-called non partisan Judiciary. The delegates recom mended four Republicans for the Supreme Bench. Circuit Judge George H. Burnett, of Marion County, and Supreme Justice F. A. Moore, from Columbia, were named for the six-year terms, the selection be ing unanimous and by acclamation. Wal lace McCamant. of Portland, and Su preme Justice Thomas A. McBrlde. from Clackamas, were recommended for the Tour-year terras. J. c. Fullerton, of Douglas. ' was brought before the as sembly, but when the ballots began com ing In with a strong lead for McCamant and McBrlde. Fullerton withdrew. The rholce. on Mr. Fullerton's recommenda tion, was made unanimous. Sentiment Is Divided. In the selection of a Railroad Commis sioner sentiment was fairly well divided between Frank J. Miller, of Linn County, and E. C. Kirkpatrlck. of Polk, the first ballot, however, giving the Linn" County man a bare majority. The vote was 633 for Miller and 577 for Kirkpatrlck. John H. Lewis, from Multnomah, had things all his own way In tne matter of the recommendation of a State Engineer. Attention was called to the fact that Mr. Jewis has held the place with credit ever fslnce Its creation. His selection was made by acclamation. Penumbra Kelly, of Multnomah, with flrew from the contest for Commissioner of Labor Statistics even while there seemed an excellent chance of his win ning over O. P. Hoff. present incumbent. Mr. Kelly, an llth-hour nominee, had the whole Multnomah delegation behind him. and when the rollcall of counties began, he was getting his share when ho arose suddenly and withdrew for Mr. Hoff. and in the interest of harmony. It was his view that the place possibly should go to someone outside Multnomah County. At least he regarded such a selection as in the best interests of the party and explained that it was no time to consider personal ambitions. Greetings Sent to Taft. While the judicial and water districts were holding separate meetings to deter mine on recommendations for the Circuit Bench and Water Commissioners, it was decided by the assembly to send its greet ings to President Taft. The following telegram was drafted and dispatched to Mr. Taft's Summer home at Beverly, Mass.: "Hon. William H. Taft. Beverly. Mass. "The Republicans of Oregon in assem bly convened send greetings and indorse ment of your Administration. With a reunited, rejuvenated Republican organi sation in this state, we will continue to rally to your standard as our chosen leader. (Signed) "W. C. BRISTOL, Chairman." The assembly also paid its respects to Harvey W. Scott, a committee being se lected to await on Mr. Scott at his home, where he is ill. and express the condo lence of the assembly upon his ill-health, together with sincere best wishes for his early recovery and appreciation of his endeavors In behalf of the Republican party. W. C. Bristol and S. B. Huston were named as a committee of two to carry out the will of the assembly in this respect.

A new-born babe is held indirectly responsible for the mysterious disap pearance of $1400 worth of diamonds from the home of Maurice Marx, 746 Kearney street, Thursday afternoon. The Jewels were the property of Mrs. Marx and consisted of two diamond rings with the aggregate appraisal of $900 and two eardrops valued at $500. Members of the Marx household con tend that the precious stones were stolen during the period of excitement that prevailed about their home follow ing the report that Mrs. S. H. Goldsteln a daughter, had given birth to a bounc ing baby boy. The police, however, are of the conviction that the diamonds were mislaid. Since the report of the supposed theft of the jewelry was received early Thursday afternoon, Detective Ser geants Day and Hyde have made a tire less effort to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the jewels. Their in vestigation has thrown little, if any, light on the case. The jewels were invariably kept in a small chamois sack secreted in Mrs. Marx's dresser drawer. As was her custom, she deposited the jewels in the sack the last time she had worn them last Tuesday. Thursday afternoon, dur-, ing the time a chiropodist was paying a professional visit at the Marx home, the news was received that Mrs. Gold stein, a daughter residing in the Beryl Apartments, 695 Lovejoy street, had become the mother of her first-born. The news created unbounded exultation and commotion in the Marx home. It continued to such a degree that the chiropodist was compelled to abandon his treatment of the feet of a younger daughter in the home, who joined Mrs. Marx and another daughter in a visit to the mother and babe. The foot spe cialist was shown out by a servant, after Mrs. Marx and her daughter had departed. When Mrs. Marx returned home later, she had occasion to look In the dresser drawer In which she kept the Jewels. The small chamois sack and diamonds were missing.

SOCIALISM BECOMES MENACE Growth Fostered by Cannon and Aldrich, Speaker Says. ONE REMEDY SUGGESTED Rule Should Permit Amendment of Single Schedule Without Re quiring Opening of Whole ' Issue, Is Declaration. COUNCIL GROVE, Kan., July 22. Senator Cummins, of Iowa, in a speech before a Chautauqua audience here to night asserted that the pledge of the Republican National platform for a revi sion of the tariff was not fulfilled ' and that Senator Aldrich and Speaker Can non and the others who took the lead in framing the tariff bill had "never at tempted and never intended to keep the pledge." Mr. Cummins spoke in the district of one of the Kansas "regular Representa tives, James Miller, to give this message. He said that Cannon and Aldrich and other Btand-pat leaders were driving the Nation into socialism or co-operative control and away from the Individual or competitive theory. Issue Not Local. "I am an exponent of the progressive Republican idea," he said. "I believe the Republican party can be made the most progressive party on earth; the one that does things for the good of the whole country. But the special interest man must be eliminated. That is my sermon. That is what I advocate and, if It hurts any of my audience, it does not bother men. For ten years I fought for prog ress In Iowa arid we have won and are winning. This is not a local matter at all, but one covering all this country and affecting other countries. "Our forefathers organized this Gov ernment on the broad principle that in dividual effort was better than the co operative or collective theory of gov ernment; that the wor kof the Individ ual was of more importance and better for the country than the development of the socialist or monopolistic theory of government and industry. Competition Is Essential. "It is the competitive against th3 so cialist theory of government. Compe tition in the individual or industry is the only safeguard against avarice and greed. "Speaker Canno and Senator Aldrich are driving the country into a socia listic form of government and industry by promoting the cause of monoplies. They are unwilling to take measures to' prevent the rapidly-growing ten dency toward monopoly or to disin- tegflrate and destroy the monopiles al ready In existence, whereby the prices of commodities are fixed, not by the usual laws of trade hut by the fill of a single man or group of men. Monop oly does not mean a single factory with absolute control of one article, but a combination of factories making the same article whereby the preces are (Concluded on Faga 3.) frrtATii take- ahwy -!IIJl1 lj tPAYlikWil Idea Is for Summer Show at San Francisco and Winter One in New Orleans. -WASHINGTON, July 22. (Special.) The Idea persists that the Taft Adminis tration will favor two Panama exposi tions, as was originally suggested by the T-iHent at th- California dinner, and it is regarded possible that Congress will extend desired authorization to w. iv.nr.isrn and New Orleans if they make satisfactory subscription showings. The objection to attempting to conduct two great fairs at the same time is met with the suggestion that xne x-acinc me tropolis should have its- exposition in the mi New Orleans in the Win ter. Summer being the travel and va cation season, is of course the preierame time to give an exposition. The blistering Southern Mississippi weather of these months would make it Impossible, or at least very undesirable, to hold the fair then. Those favoring a year-round show di vided between the two cities urge that better exhibits will be made, and be lieve that President Taft and Congress would regard it favorably.

LIFE POLICIES TO BE PAID Accident Insurance Companies Will Await Outcome of Inquest Illi nois Central Officials Tight en Lips About Scandal. CHICAGO, July 22. (Special.) While the remains- of Ira G. Rawn, late presi dent of the Monon Railway, were being laid to rest in Rosehill this afternoon, two negroeS were run down on a mys terious tip received by Coroner Hoffman and hastened secretly to the City Hall, where they are being subjected to a se vere grilling. One of them, Ernest Hoffman, a chauffeur, formerly em ployed by Mr. Rawn, was discharged last December and as late as May is de clared to have threatened Mr. Rawn's life. He is held as a suspect in connec tion with Rawn'a death. Coroner Hoffman refuses to give tlje name of his informant, but says he is a man of such prominence that his in formation carries great weight. The letter to the Coroner said Rawn had, been slain hy a negro from motives of re venge. There are many facts in the mysterious case to support this theory. Witnesses have been found who saw two negroes lurking in the vicinity of the Rawn house and neighbors heard two men discussing some crime in the Rawn shrubbery on the night of the tragedy. Negroes Seen on Train. The negroes came out from Chicago on the lest, suburban train. Residents of Winnetka who saw them were so im pressed by their evil appearance that they sought to warn the authorities, but for some reason this was not done. Coroner Hoffman attaches much im portance to the clew he received and to the arrest of the two negroes. On the other hand, members of the Rawn house hold scoff at the idea that he was slain for revenge and insist he ' had no ene mies. Developments of the day were: Illinois Central attorneys who yester day claimed they had positive proof that Mr. Rawn was the head, front and brains of the conspiracy which robbed that com pany of $1,500,000, today refused to re iterate the charges. All apparently were acting under instructions -not to discuss the case. insurance companies holding straight life policies of $47,000 on Rawn will pay without contest. Inquest Is Awaited. Accident companies carrying $110,000 await the Coroner's inquest and verdict, but meanwhile are conducting their own investigations. The Hartford Insurance Company says it is convinced Rawn was murdered and will not contest the policy. Mrs. Rawn, widow, makes a long signed statement, telling of the struggle between her husband and the invader, (Concluded on Page 3.) From North Dakota They Cross Into Manitoba, Stripping Off All ' Green Things as They Go. GRETNA, Man., July 22. (Special.) The black grasspopper or black locust, the greatest pest that has ever at tacked the crops of Manitoba and the northern states, has arrived in swarms, and the injurious insects are headed north, having come from Dakota, where they have already done great damage to the grain crops and the garden stuff. The black- grasshoppers are to be seen in great numbers and are attack ing the gardens, showing a special fondness for cabbage. Where they do not find succulent garden forage, they attack the standing grain and strip the straw bare In an incredibly short time. "Tim" O'Brien, the veteran customs collector at Neche, N. D., recalls that In the years 1871 to 1874 the black grasshopper was a terrible pest, strip ping the whole country bare and eating the bark off the poplar trees when they had cleaned everything else green off the face of the earth. They came sud denly after a long dry spell In 1871 and at times were in such swarms that their flight obscured the light of the sun. ' In 1874, after doing tremendous dam age, they disappeared as suddenly as they had come. SNAKES MAROON" AUTOIST Car Breaks Down and Owner Dare Not Get Out to Fix It. JACKSONVILLE, Or., July 22. (Spe cial.) Walter McCallum, of Medford. while returning home across the "desert" in his auto yesterday, was held captive by a bunch of rattlesnakes. About 12 miles north of here, the steering gear went out of commission, and when Mr. McCallum climbed out to investigate, a chorus of rattles made him climb hastily back in the car. For four hours he perched on the top most part of the back seat, wondering bow he was going to get home. The snakes Anally retired, and Mr. McCallum pursued his way, after ascertaining that there were no more rattlers under the car and fixing the steering gear.

ACCUSER SPEAKS RIGHT OUT Attempts of Attorneys to Con fuse Her Fail. AUDIENCE WOULD CHEER Sympathies at Beginning of Hearing Are With Dr. Vanliew, Defend ant, Who Is President ot 'j Chico Normal School. . ' CHICO. Cel.. July 22. (Special.) Without hesitation, showing no sign of weakening and making no contradic tory statements. Miss Ada Clark for more than two hours this afternoon withstood a grilling examination at the hands of Attorneys A. M. Seymour and. Archibald Tell in the investigation of her charges against Dr. C. C. Vanliew. president of the Chico Normal School. She told her story of how Dr. Vanliew endeavored to embrace her and howr she repelled the attacks. Dr. Vanliew is facing five distinct charges of misconduct made by Gov ernor Gillett, who alleges the pro fessor's reputation generally is so bad that his presence as the head of the state educational Institution was not to its best interest Story Is Substantiated. The investigation began at 10 o'clock this morning and at 5 o'clock this afternon an adjournment was taken, with Elmer Ranker, a former student, on the stand. Miss Nona Lindley was the first wit ness this afternoon. Her testimony was only in substantiation of Miss Clark's story concerning the' latter's appearance when emerging from Van llew's office on the afternoon of the attempted hugging. Professor Likes Liquor. Elmer Ranker, the last witness, tes tified that he had seen Dr. Vanliew drink liquor in the Diamond Cafe many times. Asked if Vanliew wad intoxicated, he said he did not know how much it re quired to nil Vanliew, but he had seen the normal president drink five or six glasses of beer. In endeavoring to break down the pro secution's case, Vanliew's attorneys will toiffbrrow make an "effort to unseat Ed ward Hyatt, State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction. They allege bias and prejudice on the part of Hyatt. Seymour and Tell made an effort to prove by Miss Clark that her charges were blackmail, but they apparently failed. Girl Relates Story. Miss Clark, a sister of Rev. J. Todd Clark, preferred the charges against Dr. Vanliew and was the first witness this morning. Relating the incidents which culminated in the charges against the head of the State Normal School, she said: . ' "When I came into Vanliew's office ha was busy at the telephone. I had been absent on account of the sickness of a, friend. I sat down on a window-sofa to wait until Dr. Vanliew was through. After he had signed my excuse he said he wished to speak to me. He said: Tou will be sad now that your friend Is gone. I think I can sympathize with, you so that you will not be lonesome.' "Then he placed his arm around me and tried to draw me to him. I jumped up and said: 'I heard before that you were this kind of a man; now I know it." Dr. Vanliew got real angry and said: How can you say that to me? I am president of the State Normal." "Don't Get Angry," Says Vanliew. "I told him the president of the State Normal is no better than anyone else. He said: 'Don't get angry; you must not blame me; because you are a very attractive young lady. I told him that I did not think him fit to be president of the Normal, and that I would never attend again as long as he was there. I then went out of the door and met my friend - Nona Lindley. She asked me what was the matter. I told her if she came outside I would tell her. We went outside and I told her of the incident, as I tell it now, and as I told it when the charges were preferred." At the conclusion of the statement of Miss Clark, the committee took a reces3 until 1 o'clock. President Vanliew's office was crowded both morning and afternon -with promi nent men and women of the city, whose sympathies at least at the beginning of the hearing, were with Vanliew. At one time during the examination, in an effort to disqualify the State Superintendent of Instruction, Attorney Tell exclaimed: "There Is no law to prevent you sitting on this board, but I hope to God that justice will yet prevail, yon will be re paid for unfairness." Applause Is Forbidden. ' Applause started, but it was promptly subdued by Chairman Coggins, who said that no demonstration would be allotted from spectators. Attorneys Seymour and Tell for Van liew filed an affidavit asking that Superin tendent Hyatt be disqualified from acting on the committee," alleging he is biased. (Concluded on I ago av
