Whatever may happen at the state-wide primary election tomorrow, the Repub lican party Is hopelessly divided. Never lias there been such factional struggle within the ranks of the Republican party in this state. Not alone was there the old feud between the machine men and the square dealers, but Na tional Issues also served to further the breach. With the return of the Repre sentatives from Washington, the Insur rection was fanned Into a flame of civil war. There never was anything like the present bitterness between the state and National politicians. The Representatives came home a month ago and all of them except Mur dock and Madison lined up with the regulars. Senator Curtis went out on the stump with WagatafT and Senator Brlstow spoke from the same platform with Stubbs. Hot Shot Is Toured. Two ex-Covernora and a United States Senator have traveled over the state peurlng hot ahot Into a Repub lics a state administration and at the same time accusing a Republican Gov ernor of not being In sympathy with a Republican administration. Governor Stubbs baa lashed unmercifully the men who used to run things In Kansaa a few years ago while he waa building railroads. Tonight Governor Stubbs' managers declare that he wlU be renominated by from 15.000 to 30,000 majority over Tom Wagstaff. the regular candidate. A heavy vote they say will run the Stubbs majority up to 10.000. Manager Stlch of the Wagstaff committee clalrae the nomination of Wagstaff by 15.000 major ity, and aaya be will carry six of the eight Congressional districts. Congressional Fight Bitter. The fight Is equally bitter between the regular and Insurgent candidates for Congress. Cannon's visit having In creased the feeling. Anthony, a regu lar, will defeat McNew. an Insurgent, In the first. In the second Scott, a regu lar, appeara to have the best chances. In the Third Campbell, a regular. Is certain to win. In the Fourth Attor-oey-General Jackson will defeat Miller, a regular. Calderhead and Reeder, regulars, in the Fifth and Sixth districts have hard fights and both may be beaten. Neither Madison nor Murdock. insugents, have epposttlon. As It looks tonight. Governor Stubbs will win and the insurgents will defeat two regular Representatives. MURDOCH REVEALS "DEALS" Xana Insurgent Closes Whirlwind Primary Election Campaign. KANSAS CITY. Aug. 1. Victor Mur dock cloned his primary campaign to day with a speech delivered from the balcony of the Y. M. C. A. building In Kansaa City. Kan. He talked of Speaker Cannon and the National House of Representatives, dwelling at some length on the purchases of sub marine boats made by the United States. Men who controlled Congress, he said, purchased eight submarines when the naval committee had asked for Only four. "Let me tell you of Lilly." he said. "Lilly was a Congressman from Con necticut. One day on Pennsylvania avenue he said to me. Great heavens what will the people do with this crowd if they ever get on to themT "He began to look around. Down In the basement of the White House, hid away In little cubbyholes, he found electric lights In obscure holes where no human foot has trod since the elec trician had put them there. "He went on the committee on naval affairs. There is a boat company that manufactures submarine torpedo boats. It has but one customer and that Is Uncle Sam. The Navy Department asked for four of these torpedo boats, but Congress gave It eight. "Lilly thought there was something wrong and ha began to watch. Every man said 'drop It. leave It alone.' But a special committee was appointed and then It soon developed that It waa not Investigating the submarine boat com pany, but It waa hounding Mr. Lilly to death. "The people of Connecticut elected him Governor, but ha went down to his grave pursued by a figure. The' night he died his. last words were: Zake U away; don't let It touch m.'"

GOVERNMENT IS CAUTIOUS Catholic Meetings Forbidden in Turbulent Centers. CIVIL AUTHORITY IS ISSUE Spanish Government Not Conscious of Having Done Anything More Than to Defend Civil Rights. Army Relied on for Peace. MADRID, via Bayonne, Southwest France, Aug. 1. (Special.) Catholic lay men are taking an active part In the present sgltation against the civil power. This aggresssion is Incited by the Roman Catholic primate of Spain, all the pre lates and hic;h clergy, the parish clergy and all the ilgloua orders, especially the Jesuits. Consequently the government has deemed it expedient to reinforce strongly the garrisons In the captain-gcneralcy of Catalonia, of which Barcelona Is the capital, and General Weyler, of Cuban notoriety. Is Captain-General. And re inforcements have been added to the gar risons In Navarre and in the three Basque provinces, especially in those In the capitals of Bilbao, Tolosa and Vic toria. ' Catliolic Meetings Forbidden. These precautions have been taken to enable Premier Canalejas and the minis ters to keep their eyes open to possible active Intrigues by anarchists, socialists and advanced republicans, both in Cata lonia and Biscay. The Governors of Bilbao and San Sebastian have been In structed to refuse .permission to Catho lic to hold meetings and not to reply to threatening or insolent petitions. Premier Canalejas says he went to San Sebastian, where is the royal Summer residence, and laid before King Alfonso every phase of the present situation be fore he and Queen Victoria started for a three weeks' visit to Cowes, Isle of Wight. Civil Power Is Issue. Spain's position in the dispute with the Vatican can be described accurately and on the highest authority. Spain is not conscious of having done anything more than defend the rights and prerogatives of the civil power, as represented in de crees which had been published during the discussion with the Vatican and In other projects which had been fore shadowed In the Cortex. In 8paln's view, the Vatican chose, in Its last communication from Cardinal Merry del Val. Papal Secretary of State, to suspend negotiations until the Madrid government should withdraw most of Its measures, which the Pope considers an in fringement on the rights of the church.

There is a possibility that a statue of Jef feraon Davis, President of the Confeder acy, may be selected by the State of Mississippi as Its contribution to Sta- tuary Hall in the United States Capitol here. It haa often been suggested that the statue of Jefferson Davis should be se lected for this place by the State of Mississippi. i, Under the recent opinion of Attorney General Wickersham there la no legal obstacle in placing the Davis statue or that of any other Confederate leader in Statuary Hall. This question was defi nitely settled by the Attorney-General In the Lee case, which was recently de cided. . . In his opinion, Attorney-General Wick ersham . declares the act of Congress places no restriction on the designation by the states of those whom they may desire to honor by placing their statues in Statuary Hall, nor has any official the authority to exercise censorship in the matter of costume. .

RETURN OF DUO IS DELAYED Canadian Laws Will Not Per mit Action Till August 15. BOAT LEAVES SOON AFTER Man Appears as Wreck of Former Self Arraignment Is Formal With No Attempt to Secure Confession of Crime. QUEBEC, Que., Aug. 1. Probably not before August 18 will Dr. Hawley H Crippen and Bthel Clare Leneve be taken aboard a transatlantic liner bound for England, there to stand trial jointly ac cused of murdering a woman believed to have been Belle Elmore. The criminal law of the British possessions established this today when the haggard dentist, whose flight ended so dramatically aboard the steamer Montrose yesterday morning, was arraigned before a magistrate and remanded until August 8. The girl was too ill to appear, but if her condition Improves she may be brought into court tomorrow. Crippen will not fight extradition. Of the girl's attitude less is known. She is still broken in body and spirit, alter nately shaken with . sobs or silently morose. Her relatives in London are be seeching her by cable to tell all. and the Quebec police are treating her with a gentleness rarely accorded a prisoner, even though a woman. Arraignment Is Formal. . Forced, thrdugh a curious crowd, Crip pen was taken today before the Pro vincial Court of Special Sessions, where he waa formally questioned- as. to his Identity and notified that he was under arrest for the murder of an unknown woman. Remanding him to August 8 was purely perfunctory, as he and his companion, under the fugitive offenders' act, must remain here at least 15 days. On ,the Sth he likely will be remanded again until the 15th, and the first avail able vessel for England will not depart until three days later. By that time another detective from Scotland Yard will have arrived bringing a formal application for extradition, al though this application probably will not be necessary in view of the accused man's declaration that he will taise no obstacles to his return. Girl Taken to Chief's Home. Although Crippen was the center of at tention when arraigned, perhaps the most Interesting development of the day was the extremely liberal treatment of Miss Leneve by the police. Like Crippen, she is accused of murder, but the girl today enjoyed the freedom of the house of Chief of Police McCarthy. When taken from jail today It was an- l t'onciuded on Page 5.) "Some Day, Somewhere, Somehow I Am Going to Get Yon," Writes Author Who Loses in Court. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1. (Special.) Jack London, the novelist, today wrote a letter to Police Judge Samuels, of Oak land, berating him as a bully for the Judge's recent decision dismissing the as sault case , of London against Tim Mul downey, keeper of a tenderloin restaur ant. Muldowney and London told diametri cally opposite stories of the fight in the restaurant which ended in London being thrown into the gutter, and the Judge was unable to reconcile them. Last week Muldowney's wife sued for divorce and accused her husband of beating her. This incident led London to write a high ly rhetorical letter to the Police Judge, in which the author of "The Call 'of the Wild" threatened to "get" the Judge. London reviews his case, declaring that the Police Judge bullied him and his only witness, although they told the simple truth. Muldowney and his bartenders lied, he says, yet the Judge apparently gave them as much credence as he did the author. London intimates the Judge took this attitude because of Muldow ney's influence. In conclusion London says: "Some day, somewhere, somehow, I am going to get you. I am going to get you legally, never fear, and to the full hilt of law and legal procedure." The Judge laughed at London's letter and called it "damn nonsense." APPLAUD DOCTOR'S WORK Lorenz Operation Is Performed at Osteopathic Convention. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.

PASS BOOKS TO BE USED Plans Are Being Perfected for Pos tal savings Buiui. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. The long established pass book system used in ordinary savings institutions will be adopted for the Government postal savings banks. The committee tnat has been perfecting the plans for the postal banks had been considering what is known as tne coupon system for postal banks deposits, but has now decided that, while having some ad vantage, that system might produce complications. According to the coupon system, de positors would receive with each de posit a slip representing their deposit. together with a coupon lor the amount of interest that would be paid on their money. The committee decided there were many objections to flooding the country with millions of deposit slips, with coupons attached, any of which would represent values of only a few cents.

EYERY BUILDING DESTROYED Wind Fans Flames and Scat ters Firebrands. PEOPLE ESCAPE BY FLIGHT No Time to Spare to Save Goods, Some of . Which Are Loaded on Cars and Started for Detroit. Camping Party Loses Outfit. ALBANY, ' Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) The entire town of Hoover, eastern terminus of the Corvallis & Eastern Railway on the North Santiam River, B7 miles east of Albany, was wiped out by fire tonight. The big sawmill of the Hoover Lum ber Company, the entire lumber yard, :.he hotel and several bunkhouses and residences have been burned, and the latest reports received here stated that practically all other buildings in the little village were burning and in all probability there would be scarcely a house left. The .loss will probably reach 100, 000. Hoover is absolutely without communication tonight, and it is im possible to get any statement of lossei and insurance, but local mlllmen whs are familiar with the Hoover plant place the loss at that figure. Practi cally every building , in the town be longed to the Hoover Lumber Com pany. . . . j. Ditches Keep Fire From Timber. Ditches are being dug around th town tonight to keep the fire from reaching the timber adjoining and thus far this effort has been success ful. The fire' started .from a hot box ir the machinery In the Hoover sawmill at 4 o'clock this afternoon and quickly spread over the big plant. Fanned by a wind, the flames went into the lumber yard and the heat of the fire and falling sparks and brands soon set fire to the. hotel and nearby bunkhouses and dwellings. The Hoo ver store and postoffice was not in cluded in the list of burned buildings reported here, but, as it was between the mill, and the hotel, it is almost certain that it went too. People Flee for Lives. So quickly did the fire spread that people were forced to abandon most of the property to the flames or risk their lives in saving it. Hoover has no direct communication by wire and reports of the fire reached the outside world through the Corval lis & Eastern station at Detroit, 2 "4 miles away. The Detroit agent left the fire at 6 o'clock and then the buildings above named ' had burned and the entire town was regarded as doomed. No definite reports have been received from the fire since that hour, but there was then no hope of saving any buildings. Train Carries Away Goods. - . ' What property was saved was being loaded into three box cars, which stoad on the siding at Hoover, and an ef fort was to be made to start them on the down grade toward Detroit, so' they would run out of the fire zone and take the rescued property to safety. A report from Mill City says that a crew of workmen from the Cur- tiss Lumber Company's big mills there had boarded a car drawn by the en gine of the company's logging rail road and Is ready to start for Hqover, 22 miles away, to aid in keeping the fire out of the timber. The families of R. K. Montgomery, Southern Pacific agent at Albany; N. D. Pratt, a local merchant, and Rev. I. G. Knotts, of this city, who formed, a camping party one-quarter mlla from . Hoover, lost their entire camp ing outfit when the fire started In the mill. They ran to the scene and while they were gone flying brands set fire to their camp and burned tho entire outfit. Including their clothing, trunks and supplies. Town Had Had Narrow Escape. The town of Hoover had a most narrow escape from destruction two weeks ago from a big forest fire, which started at a logging camp Just across the river from- the mill. Stren uous efforts of a big brigade of fire fighters saved it then only to have, it destroyed today by a fire which started in the mill itself. . r .' . , The village of Hoover was built around the Hoover sawmill, which had a capacity of 40,000 feet a day, and -. ..1....
