OREGOXIAN NEWS BL'REAL. Wash
ington. Sept. 11. Every day as the
campaign approaches, sees some name
added to the list of Republican members
of' Congress who will" not again vote ' to
elect Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, to
the Speakership. Already a goodly num
ber of former supporters of the Speaker
have come out against him, probably a
sufficient number, added to his enemies
in the Republican party, to make cer
tain his defeat if he again asks a Re
publican caucus to indorse him for the
highest office in the House of Repre
sentatives. It has been noted that avnumber of
very staunch "standpatters" who in
times past have been very close and
ey loyal to Speaker Cannon are now
arrayed against him. all of which must
have been gall to the fighting old Roman.
- Phil Campbell Deserts.
The bitterest dose he has thus far
had . to swallow was the announced de
sertion of Representative Fhil Campbell,
of Kansas, the man In whose behalf he
first' took "the stump during fhe" hot
months of the past Summer. Campbell,
of Kansas, heretofore reputed to be a
died-in-the-wool Cannon man. and one
who would never desert his friend, the
Speaker, found it advisable to change
his mind, lit' the "hopeof longer holding
his seat in, Congress.
There have been more prominent Republicans-
than Campbell who have de
serted the Cannon standard, however.
Thus far the most conspicuous of the
old Cannon machine to announce his
purpose -to. vote for another than Cannon
for Speaker is Walter I. Smith, of Iowa.
Smith' has been one of Cannon's trusted
lieutenants, and one of the most active
regular leadeis on- the floor of the
House.
- Cannon Cannot lie Speaker.
But Smith is enough of a politician
to he aware that Cannon can mvel- be
re-elected Speaker and therefore deemed
It good politics to corral to his own use
such benefits as might accrue from the
early renunciation of hi old friend. And
then, be It remarked. Walter I. Smith is
a candidate for the Speakership, in case
the next House is Republican, so there
was double method in his madness.
There will be other desertions from day
to day, clear up to the day of election,
though most of the desertions will pre
cede the primaries or Congressional con-

NEW -YORK. Sept. 11. With t'he re

Old Guard and trie "progressives" for the
control of the Republican state conven
tion looms larger updn the political hori
zon. Both sides have been conducting a

Alaska, to the Dexter-ljorton National
Bank of Seattle. on the steamship
Hiiinboldt, was stolen in transit and
lead substituted in the strong box li;at
had contained the bullion.
(old in Three Boxes.
The gold when it left Fairbanks or
a Yukon River steamer for Dawson
and White Horse was contained in
three wooden boxes and was in the
care of. the Alaska-Pacific Express
Company. When the boxes were,
opened by t lie Canadian customs offi
cers at Dawson the gold bars were,
found to be ns stated in the express
company's papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay office In Seattle
last Friday noon, and one contained
pics of lead, not of pold. The seals
of the box were intact when it reached
the office, and it was evident that the
robbeiy had been committed by re
moving one end of the box. The gold
was insured against loss by the ex
press company.
Injiots Welsh 2.10 Pound.
The boxes were received at the as
say office Thursday morning: and re
mained there until the agents of the
consignee arrived next day to check
up the ingots. It is supposed that the
gold was stolen on the Yukon steamer
between Dawson and' White Horse, or
on the steamer Humboldt between
Skagway and Seattle. There would
have been small opportunity for rob
bery in the assay office or in the
short railroad run from White Horse
to Skagway. The Bold weighed iuO
pounds, and the disposal of such heavy
plunder must have required time and
preparation. The sold was in the
purser's cabin and it is not customary
on the sold ships to take elaborate
precaution acainst robbery.
Detectives working; on the case have
made no arrests, and say they have no
clow on which to work.
Miller Case Duplicated.
However, the robbery was very much
like one four years ago. In this case
JS9.000 consigned to Seattle by the
Washington-Alaska Bank of Fairbanks
over the Yukon River-Skagway route,
was stolen from a wooden strongbox
and lead substituted.
The theft was committed by Bobby
Miller, niriit watchman on a Tanana
River steamer, which was carrying the
gold from Fairbanks to the Yukon
steamer that was to convey it to White
Horse.
Miller concealed the gold in his
stateroom, got it back to Fairbanks
and secreted it so well that after his
arrest on suspicion the owners of the
bullion were glad to make terms with
hiin. He 'as promised a short prison
sentence if he returned the gold, and
he produced jr.0.000, alleging that the
remaining 10,"00 had been stolen from
him.
Assay orfiee" Not to Blame.
That the robbery has been known
to the assay officials for several days,
in fact Immediately following the ar
rival of the Humboldt after the gold
had been taken to the B3say office,
became apparent tonight. Calvin E.
Vilas, head of the assay office, de
clines to be quoted, but indicates that
no responsibility can fall upon his of
fice. Vilas, a head of the department, does
not open the vaults in the assay office
at all, that being done by the .Sunset
Telephone Company by an electrical
device. The same system is used in
locking the big dors where the wealth
of the North is stored.
Announcement of the theft was not
made until after the Humboldt started
for the return trip to the North, an1
attempts of the detectives to secure,
any Information from the ship's offi
cers is unavailing.
Gold Taken in North Is Theory.
Another theory of robbery which
has been under some consideration is
that the original packages contained
the spurious metal' from the moment it
was shipped from Dawson. The substi
tuted meta! was molded into the shape
of ingots and closely resembled gold.
Of course the boxes in which the ship
ment was made showed signs of tam
pering, but this, it is explained, would
be the very thing that would be done
in order to throw off suspicion when
the precious cargo reached its final
Ldestinatiou. -
