AN ANARCHIST'S LETTER
He Diec-usee "Liberty and Shooting,
of Major Gnynor.
PORTLAND. Or, Aug. 12. To the
Editor.) It seems strange to tha writer
that In the early reports of the das
tardly attempt to assaslnate Mayor
Gaynor the newspapera refrained from
charging the crime to the anarchists.
Can It be possible that this was due
to a larger understanding of what an
archism stand for. or was it the ablV
ity to distinguish between anarchism
and terrorism T Possibly It wss because
Mayor Gaynor. himself. Is more of an
anarchist than an archlst.
As an anarchist. I feel keenly what
a great loss the cause of human free
dom would suffer In the death ' of
Mayor Gaynor. Tha sad occurrence
must have been a great blow to all
liberty-loving people, not only In this
country but the world over, to me.
Mr. Gaynor is the greatest and strong
est figure tn the political life of the
Nation, and I sincerely hope that ne
will speedily recover and be able to
continue the good work already begun.
Although the mad dog cry of anarchy
haa not been raised aa yet by the Tel
low press." we ran soon expect to hear
the familiar howl, for some of our
representatives In Congress are al
ready planning to revise our Immlgra
tion laws. These men are either mis
Informed as to the theories held by
anarchist with regard to the re-or-
ganlzatlon of society on a just basis,
or they are densely ignorant. This
matters little, however, to the "yel
lows" so long as they can cater to pop
ular prejudice.
I am absolutely, certain tha Mayor
Gaynor would oppose any legislation
that would deprive any peace Die in
dividual of his liberty, no matter what
opinions he may hold. Long before he
ascended to the office of Mayor of
New York. Mr. Gaynor expressed his In
dignation against the Illegal interfer
ence, on the part of the police, with
socialist and anarchist assemblages, as
well as other unwarranted acts perpe
trated by these officious officials. As
Mayor, he made It plain to the police
that the law applies to them fust as
much as to the private citizen.
One of the ablest writers on anarch
ism la Benjamin R. Tucker, for many
years editor of "Liberty. In New York.
"The anarchists are simply unterrifled
Jeffersonian Democrats. says Mr.
Tucker. Here Is what Mr. Gaynor said
some time ago: "A government which,
through legal favoritism, allows a few
to aggrandize themselves out of the
toll of the many haa no right to exist-1
Possibly Mr. Gaynor does not agree
with Mr. Tucker all along the line,
but there Is no doubt of his being an
unterrifled Jeffersonian Democrat.'
May he soon be again fully restored to
health. If Representative Stephen, of
Texas, has his way and his proposed
bin should become law, Mr. Gaynor
might be deported with the rest of
us. to the Philippine Islands.
Truly, an anarchist without a sense
of humor would be a pitiable sight to
behold. OTTO BOBSI EN.

Correspondent In Yokohama. Japan,
Thinks Rhode? Island Is Adja

Some curious letters are received by the
publicity department of the Commercial
Club, and while the most unusual one
cause the clerks to smile snd sometimes
even to laugh out loud, they answer all
of them In a serious tone.

him In such action. He prefera to put
the money Into a sawmill proposition

ing features In the market display of
fruit. Oregon Crawford and Cali
fornia Elbertas are the most popular
peach varieties and are obtainable at
76 oePts to $1 a box. or 10 to 20 cents
a dozen. The peach canning, pickling
and preserving season is well under
way. and many housewives are al
ready regarding wHh pride thai well
filled "family Jars."
Pears, while not so useful for pre
serving purposes, are perhsps ven
more popular than peaches lor "plain
eating," and are to be had at from lo
to 20 oents a dosen. Grapes are coin
ing tn more rapidly, and are already
decidedly low In price. Malagas and
black grapes cost, yesterday, 2 to
cents a basket, while 20 to 60 cents
was asked for Muscats and Thtiupsou
seedless grapes.
Apples are not yet particularly at
tractive In competition with the late

IS to 25 cents each.
New In this week are huekle
berrles some of them partioularly
fine, though entirely too popular as fly
convention grounds. But the market
men say that the majority of Portland
housewives don't mind their entertain
ing files at least comparatively few

the fly's unwlped feet; so why make a
fuss about H?
Tomatoes are conspicuous in the
vegetable market at 4 to 10 cents a
pound. Cucumbers are perhaps gecot.d
In Importance, thought the pickling size
"cukes" are not yet plentiful. Dill,
however, is alre&dv to be had. Beans
are fairly good at 6 cents a pound, and
corn at 20- cents a dozen, celery is
more plentiful and egg-plant is cheaper
than usual, costing 10 oents a pouno.
Green pepper are popular; and miny
shapes and kinds of Summor squash are
shown.
Fish prices were decidedly lower
than usual yesterday, and a very good
variety was obtainable Excellent
Chinook salmon, halibut and sturgeon
were selling at 2 pounds for 26 cents,
all three offering dishes literally "fit
for a king" with little trouble and ms
waste to the housewife. Fresh mack
erel is new this week, and costs IS
cents a pound. Black cod, rock cod

flounder were all to oe had at about
10 cents a pound. Baby salmon cost
IS cents. The only high-prlce-1 fish
was black bass at 30 cents a pound.
Fine prawns proved attractive at about
25 cents a pound.
Egg and chicken prices are prac
tically the same as last week; Spring

cording to name and quality, and
getting ready to go steadily higher, as

CHAMBERLAIN IS ALOOF

George Earle Chamberlain, cleverest
Democrat of them all, ex-Dlstrlct At

Daxty. That is what he says himself.
Speaking of the "prospects." he de
clared yesterday that they have never
been brighter foe the minority faith,
aad he predicted success.
Senator Chamberlain was seen at his
law offices yesterday afternoon with
special relation to the informal deci
sion of the Demooratic state central
oonunlttee Thursday night to pass the
word down the line for John Manning
the candidate for Governor, 'mere
was a rumor In political circles that
Senator Chamberlain, Chairman Sweek,
of tha state committee; John Montag,
county committeeman, and other stal
warts had been Invisibly designated aa
a committee to see Oswald West, of
Salem, and get him to withdraw so a
to give Mr. Manning a clear field for
the primaries. Jefferson Myers, the
other candidate, had signified bis wil

the party.
"So far as I am concerned," said
Senator Chamberlain, "they can all
take their chances In he primary. It
Is mv oolnlon that this would stimu
late party interest; it would simply
mean a contest in which the friends of
each candidate would get out and
work for the success of their ravonte.
Mr. Manning himself declines to mane
any statement as to his proposed can

In mv onlnion. there nave never

while the Republicans are very much
divided. Three-fourth of the Repub

ticket. There is one thing that is cer
tain the people of Oregon are never

They are not going to tolerate the old-

Piatt Creates Stir by Accusing
Street Railway of Delay
ing Improvements.
FULLER MAKES DEFENSE
After Passage of 'Words, Mayor SL-
mon Suggests Conference to
Straighten Out Tangle- Not
Sufficient Rails Ordered.
Robert Treat Piatt, member of the
street committee of the City Executive
Board, created a sensation during the
session of the board yesterday after
noon by calling upon his colleagues to
use every means in their power to com
pel the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company to lay tracks on Lom
bard street, from Wabash to Westana
streets, so that a Hassara pavement
may be put down.
Vice-President Fuller, representing
the company, defended the big corpor
ation by declaring that it has kept up
its work faithfully this season with a
crew of 600 or more men, that IS miles
of track has been laid and that every
possible means has been used to icecp
ahead of the city's operations on the
various improvements.
Rails Ordered for 1 9 Miles.
"How many miles of rail did yon
order after receiving the special lnfor
mation from the street committee last
January, in which you were told that
26 mile of pavement were to be laid
on streets where your company oper
atesfr asked Mr. Piatt of Vice-Presi
dent Fuller.
"We ordered enough to lay 19 miles
of track," was the reply.
"In other words," remarked Mr. Piatt
"you used your own judgment as to
how many miles to lay, instead of tak
ing the special Information from the
committee as the guide. i
"Not at all." replied Mr. Fuller. "We
have done the best we can In- the cir
cumstances."
"Well, that's the way I sized it up,'
concluded Mr. Piatt.
Mayor Simon suggested that a con
ference be held between Mr. Fuller and
the member of the street committee in
an effort to straighten out the situation.
and at the close of the meeting all
parties got together and talked it
over.
Improvements Will Begin.
As a result of the conference. Mayor
Simon announced that the big improve
ment will be commenced at once, and
that the streetcar company will try to
lay its new rails; if it cannot do so, the
city's work on either side of the line will
be done in spite of It. This will make It
possible for traffic to be accommodated
on hard-surface the full length of the
Peninsula, nearly to the northern limits
of the city.
During the discussion between Messrs,
Piatt and Fuller. Mr. Piatt was very
outspoken. lie declared that he had
taken pains to notify the streetcar offi
cials last January as to the amount of
work to be done on streets upon which
cars are operated. He said that with
this information at hand thus early in
the year, there was no- excuse for the
company .delaying work.
Committee Is Displeased.
'The letter frankly said that the street
committee was not at all pleased with the
co-operation of the company during the
season of 1909," explained Mr. Piatt, "and
urged - better action for the season of
1910. In view of these facts, I urge that
the Executive Board use all the power at

Attorney's offices, if there is any means

LAND NEEDED BALLINGER

bad the ability to change the practice
of that department, as well as its per
sonnel. It was suggested to Judge
Balllnger, but Judge Ballinger pre
ferred 'to live In Seattle for some un
explained reason, and declined. Then
the wishes of the President were sent
In such form that they became a com
mand, and Judge Balllnger was farced
to concede. Many of the reforms which
he Instituted in the Land Office ace in
practice today, and had the approval
of Theodore Roosevelt. After that he
went back to Seattle, but President
Taft wanted him for Secretary of the
interior, and without a single sugges
tion to that effect from the Pacific
Coast the appointment was made.
- "The dally papers have since that
time recounted the efforts which Sec
retary Ballinger has made for the en
forcement of law in the disposal of
public lands. We are all familiar with
the developments of a recent hearing
In which Mr. Ballinger "was assailed.
L for one, have read every line of the
testimony presented before that Con
gressional committee, aad I want now
to deliver my personal testimony as
saying that there Is not one scintilla of
credible evidence that reflects in the
slightest degree upon Judge Bellinger's
Integrity as a citizen or his character as
a public officer."
In opening his address Mr. Ballinger
spoke of the hope entertained by the
President for the development and
prosperity of the West, and declared
to be un-American any polioy which
placed stumbling blocks in the path of
its progress. Mr. Bellinger's speech in
full will be found on the editorial page
of this issue of The Oregonlan.

Klamath Project Investigated.
Secretary Balllnger left last-night on
the Shasta Limited for Klamath Falls,
where he will devote two days to an
investigation of the work being done
in that vicinity by ' the Reclamation
Service. Besides members of his
party, the Secretary was accompanied
by E. G. Hopson, chief engineer of the
work, and Oliver P. Morton.
While in Portland E. C. FJnney, as
sistant to the Secretary, received notice
of his appointment as chief law of
ficer of the Reclamation Service, a
promotion which came from the1 hands
of the President. Mr. Finney will have
charge of all the legal business of the
service, as well as the policies to be
carried out F. H. Nef ell, head of the
service, has heretofoWabeen supreme
and has dictated wat reclamation pro
jects should be pushed and the amount
of money to be expended at any point.
Those duties will now devolve upon Mr.
Finney. That fact yesterday gave rise
to much comment as to the position
which Mr. Finney will assume in re
gard to the Umatilla Extension propo
sition. Finney has recently visited the
land and made an exhaustive examina
tion of its feasibility Upon his ar
rival in Portland he expressed gratifi
cation over its prospects.
Neither Mr. Finney nor Mr. Ballinger
would express an opinion as to what
would ultimately be done with the
project.
CRATER LAKE TO BE VISITED
Klamath Falls Plans Reception to
Secretary on Tonr.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. . 12.
(Special) When Secretary Balllnger
arrives in this' city Saturday night he
will ba met 6y a committee of promin
ent business men of Klamath Falls. A
public reception will be arranged.
Owing to a misunderstanding which
has arisen -oetween some of the land
owners who "are operating under pro
posed irrigation systems in this vicin
ity, several projects have been partially
abandoned and while some of the work
has been started it is incomplete. It
Is to ascertain for himself the condi
tion which prevails In the projects that
Mr. Ballinger is to visit this county.
Mr. Balllnger will go to Crater JaKe,
where he will be joined by Mrs. Ballin
ger. At that great natural pleasure
ground he will ascertain what is neces
sary to make that wonder of nature
more acceslble to tourists who are
coming into this portion of the state in
greater numbers every year.
When Mr. Balllnger goes to Crater
Lake he will leave this city on the
steamer Klamath and after a 20-mile
ride on Upper Klamath Lake will stop
for luncheon at the famous Eagle
Ridge tavern, from the porch of which
the mountains of Orater Lake park can
be seen. He will then board the
steamer again and proceed to Klamath
Agency landing, where he will take an
automobile ' for Crater Lake.
Representative Hawley will arrive
here next Monday and the reception for
Mr. Ballinger will probably be ar
ranged so as to take place after Mr.
Hawleys arrival.
SGHYE WANTS JUSTICE
ATHLETE AXD ACTRESS AFTER
CAMERON'S SUBORDINATES.
Loser in Street Fight Drops Serious
Charge, but Warrant for Per
jury Denied Schye.
Charles Zlg Schye, a well-known athlete
and manager for Letltia Sartods, an op
eratic singer with whom he was arrested
on an Information from the District At
torney's office Monday, Is stern In his
denunciation of the operations of the
District Attorney's office. He contends
that he waa refused a warrant for the
arrest of Frank Milton on the charge of
perjury.
Milton and Schye settled their personal
grievances in a rough and tumble fight
In front of a local theater Monday after
noon. Milton was badly worsted. He
then swore to a warrant charging Schye
and Miss Sartoris with -a statutory
offense. Their hearing was set before
JuMice of the Peace Olson Wednesday.
When they appeared in the courtroom
ready to prove the falsity of the charge
with a group of witnesses, the defend
ants were informed, that the case had
been stricken from the docket and the
charge nolled.
Schye, in an effort to clear the he-
smirched honor of himself and MsVs
Sartoris, went to the Diertrict Attorney's
office and demanded a warrant for Mil
ton's arrest on the charge of swearing
falsely In the warrant upon whloh they
were arrested and compelled to give
bonds to retain their freedom.
Attaches of the District Attorney's
office, 8chye states, emphatically refused
to issue any informations against
Milton. They also said "that he couldn't
get anything on him," meaning Milton.
Schye Intimated that the attaches of
the District Attorney's office were In
league with his adversaries and now in
tends to ferret out the real motive for
the refusal of a warrant against Milton,
through the agency of an attorney he has
engaged.
BATTERY BOYS FROLIC
Oregon National Guard Artillery
Men Have Lively Meeting.
The 60 artillerymen of Battery A. d. N.
G-, made away with 24 watermelons in
short order at their festival in the Ar
mory last night, but not until tliey had
quartered one and given two prizes to
the soldier lads who ate them the quick
est. This the soldiers were compelled to
do with their hands tied behind their
backs. The first prize was $1 and the
second prize SO cents.
Then followed a kangaroo court, in
which members of the battery who had
committed trivial offenses against their
comrades while at the encampment at
Mosqultoville, near Stevenson, Wash., re
cently, were put through stunts ranging
from the shower bath to riding the rail.
Speeches were next called for, H. U.
Welch, Captain of the battery, giving the
boys high praise for- their efficient work
at the recent drllL In their work they
are said to have compared favorably with
veterans of the Regular Army.
The plan of having an entertainment
each Friday night until the time for in
spection, September 2, has been adopted
in order to keep the boys together. With
out this the, officers have found that the
men drift apart, and do not all report
when the time comes for inspection and
to take up active drill work again.
WIRES HOLD COURT
Livestock Boosters Have Fun
in Sale of Tickets.
CAMPAIGN BEGINS MONDAY
Henry Wemme Sentenced for Mak
ing Subscription Ahead of Time.
Fair Promises to Be Absolute
Success With AH Working.
"Captain Wemme, you are hereby re
duced to the rank of corporal and all
the Germans of your company are re
duced In rank from lieutenants to pri vates,"
were the fateful words that fell
from the lips of E. L. Fraley, commander
in chief of the "Live Wire" army of
Portland Fair & Livestock Show boomer
in passing sentence in the case of Henry
Wemme at the Commercial Club yester
day aftarnoon. Fraley presided at the
oourt-martlal which tried Wemme, who
is leader of the German ticket-selling
bxigade, with an effort to corner the
ticket market.
It was charged that the prisoner had
sent his personal check for $100 to the
committee, together with an order for
20 season rickets for the Livestock Show;
thus displaying a spirit of selfishness and
an effort to deprive others of the op
portunity of seeing the exposition.
The court had procured possession of
the check which was marked "Exhibit A"
and which, by unanimous vote of the 60
"wires" present constituted a verdict of
guilty.
The prisoner was not allowed to speak
in his own behalf as no one cared to hear
what he had to say.
"Sentence, sentence," shouted the as
sembled "wires" with voices that almost
shook the building and literally shrieked
for vengeance.
Ticket Sate Is "Sentence."
"Owing to the eloquence of your ad
dress and the earnestness of your plea,"
ironically spoke the presiding officer,
"this court, will be lenient with you and
will pronounce only a part of your sen
tence at this time, but you are com
manded to appear here again next Wed
nesday morning at 9 o'clock with an
accounting of your labors. If at that
time you and your lieutenants don't re
port a sale of tickets exceeding in num
ber the tickets sold by any other com
pany of this army you will be most
severely dealt with. It will also be .un
lawful for you to make complaint if
members of another company encroach
upon your territory. If the publio is in
clined to buy from you or not to buy.
You are expected to sell more tickets
than any one else, regardless of difficul
ties that may. be thrown in your way."
The cotirt then pronounced the sentence
as already stated,. Mr. Wemme heard his
fate with perfect composure and was
at once ready to reconcile himself to the
situation.
Banquet Cause of 'Arre9t.,
Following the court-martial proceedings
which were the occasion of much merri
ment, Inasmuch as it was necessary tf
"arrest" Mr. Wemme, who failed to ap
pear on account of his desire to attend a
banquet In progress in another part of
the building, the meeting took up other .
matters pertaining to the business in
hand that of making the fair this year :
the greatest that has ever been held.
R. A Marshall was appointed sergeant-at-arms
and L. W. Bruns was named, to
assist him in the work. They announced
Mr. Wemme's absence was due to in
ducements offered by JuliuB L. Meier.
Charges may be brought against Mr.
Meier at the next session.
Business District Is "Guard House."
Although he wag absent from the ses
sion, the court took the liberty of sen
tencing Frank Schlegel to ten hours hard
labor in the guard house next Monday
morning and afternoon. The guard house
in this instance will be the business dis
tricts of Portland and the "labor" will
be a persistent and determined effort to
sell tickets.
Tickets Given Out Today.
Officers of the "Live Wire" army have
decreed that between the hours of 11 A. -M.
and 3 P. M. today, in the convention
nr nimmAninl Club thev shall
pass out allotments of tickets to the
captains of the several companies. The
captains will In turn distribute them to
their lieutenants, who are expected to
devote all of their time next Monday
and Tuesday to the ticket selling cam
paign. Further court-martial proceedings are
promised for next Wednesday morning,
when the final report of the ticket sell-
n-j i v. rulolu,f1 ' rtT . nrncess nf

those Portland citizens who .have failed
to respond to the pleas of the "soldiers."
