according, to tliesa mere critics and fault

"If the Republican majority in the

President would steer Into harbor, these
men would miss it.
'The President and the majority of the
Republicans of the House and Senate
agreed upon a tariff law. These men op
posed it. Democrats and insurgents said
they wanted the tariff reduced. . The
Payne bill carried a reduction in con

"Democrats and insurgents said they

together voted against this law.
"Democrats and insurgents said they

wounded, one a policeman, and a score
more or less seriously hurt, during a
rtot of strike sympathizers today at
the plant of the American Sugar Re
fining Company at Williamsburg,
where a strike has been in progress

' Crowds of sympathizers threw bricks
at the strikebreakers from house tops,
and when the nonunion men started
out with their trucks to deliver sugar,
a rush was made for the wagons. The
police on the trucks returned the fire.
The employes of the plant struck a
month ago for an advance In wages.
The men killed were Lithuanians.
Several policemen were struck and
painfully hurt by the bricks thrown
from the nearby roofs.
The entire neighborhood became in

Aided by Englishman, Cassell, Bank
ers Bny Rock Island and Other
Stock at Little Over Half Snm
Paid by Pearson Crowd.
NEW YORK, July 28. Now that the
sale of the so-called Pearson holdings
in Rock Island. Lehigh Valley, Wa
bash, Missouri Pacific and Denver &
Rio Grande stock is confirmed. Wall
street was asking today what the
Kuhn-Loeb syndicate, the purchasers,
purpose to do with the securities.
Dr. F. D. Pearson and his associates
acquired the stock late In 1B09, and
early in 1910, with the dream of a
vast transcontinental system. This
plan must now be abandoned, tempor
arily at least, but opinion is divided
as to whether it will be revived under
new and more powerful guidance. It
was said this afternoon that they have
no plans for a new transcontinental
railway system, and the purchase does
not embrace control of any of the
properties whose stocks they have ac
quired. Object Is to Save Banks.
The primaryobject in taking over
the holding, it was said by one banker
concerned, was to save an awkward
situation of banking interests, which
were- trying to carry out a scheme too
big for them to handle. ,
Notwithstanding the sale, there is
apparently no disposition on the part
of the bankers' syndicate to dispense
with the services of Mr. Pearson and
his Engiish associate, Percival Far
quhar, both of whom are likely to re
main directors of the railway compa
nies concerned, as heretofore.
Morgan Not Interested.
The American members of the syndi
cate acting with Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
include the First National Bank, a
Morgan Institution, but the Morgan
banking house itself, it ia emphatically
declared, is in no way a party to the
syndicate. It Is believed, however, that
the Kuhn-Loeb syndicate will ere long
sell to J. Jf. Morgan & Co. its newly
acquired Lehigh "Valley holdings, so
mat tne road will remain in the hand
of the Drexel-Morgan interests, where
it has always been.
Sir Ernest Cassell, the chief foreign
member of the new syndicate, represents-
one of the largest, if not the
largest, single financial interest of
England, and it is said on good au
thority that the new Rock Island in
terest took over 'the stock In question
for purposes of permanent investment.
The stock transferred . amounted to
several hundred thousand shares. The
amount of cash paid by the bankers is
probably from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000,
or a little more than half of the sum
the Pearson syndicate is believed to
have expended for its disastrous ex
perience. OPERATOR $1500 SHORT
Western Union Employe at Vallejo
Victim of Gambling Habit.
VALLEJO, CaL, July 28. (Special.)
It has now been learned that H. M.
McGrew, the missing local operator for
the Western Union Company here, left
behind him at the time of his mys
terious disappearance several months
ago a shortage which may reach $1500.
McGrew fell a victim to the gam
bling habit, and not only squandered the
daily receipts of the office, but is said
to have drawn upon the company's
bank account here, to which he had
access. Although determined efforts
to find him have been made, no trace
of McGrew has ever been found.

HOPKINS' ELECTION PLAN

Anions Democrats in Illinois Leg
islature When Scheme Was
Spoiled, Is Alleged.
CHICAGO. July 28. The Chicago
Tribune today prints a statement that
an attempt was made previous to the
election of William Lorimer as United
States Senator, to purchase 17 Demo
cratic votes at $2000 a vote to assure
the return of the then Senator Albert
J. Hopkins.
The story -follows close on a
luncheon where Roger Sullivan.
Democratic National committeeman for
Illinois, and representatives of the Leg
islative Voters' League fired pointed
remarks at each other. On this occa
sion. Mi". Sullivan is quoted as Baying:
"Why don't you fellows look Into
what Albert J. Hopkins was trying to
do at Springfield for four months?".
The Tribune declared that $35,000
was collected to buy the needed votes.
It was placed in the hands of two
little-known legislators and the block
of votes selected and made ready for
delivery.
It is alleged that Mr. Sullivan and
Speaker Shurtleff spoiled the plan. Tho
Speaker is said to have told the cul
prits that he would expose the plot
from the chair the moment a Demo
cratic ballot was cast for Hopkins.
Then Sullivan arrived at Springfield at
midnight and, gathering the 17 about
him, threatened to break every politi
cal bone in their bodies If they voted
(or Hopkins. That ended it.
The Tribune expresses the belief that

IMPROVED CONDITIONS BENEFIT MURRAYMEAD
Advantages of Property Not Affected by Question of "Closed Draws"
Easily Apparent.
Right now, while all Portland is agitated over the question of the "closed
draw," the advantages of the Hawthorne-avenue district should be appar
ent to all. 1
Between 15 and 20 feet higher than any other span across the Willamette,'
passengers crossing on Madison street can complacently watch the usual con
gestion on the other bridges, while the same boat which will necessitate open
ing the draws down-river goes serenely on its way beneath the closed draws
of the Madison bridge. .
A big advantage this. '!
I, personally, look for the biggest proportionate advance in values in the
entire city to take place in the Hawthorne-avenue district within the next
six months. t .
I also think that at the present price MURRAYMEAD is the cheapest
buy in the district. Z
MURRAYMEAD is located just south of Hawthorne avenue and westbf
the big Burrell home on East Twenty-sixth and Hawthorne. Beautiful property
it is, with an unobstructed view of the entire city, surpassed only by the view
from Council Crest.
Improvements consist of cement walks and curbs, paved streets, sewers,
gas, water, etc.
Building restrictions, $2500 to $3500.
. Opening prices, $1700 to $2000 for inside lots, and $2250 to $2500 for
corners. .,.
Terms, 20 per cent cash and 2 per cent per month.
But do not expect these prices to remain long. Soon they will be ma
terially advanced.
Take Hawthorne-avenue or Mount Scott car to East Twenty-fifth and
Hawthorne, and walk four blocks south to my tract office, or come direct to
downtown office.
