I had a very pleasant interview -.I-

President, saia m
iinfai-torr talk on the
w York situation."
He admitted that the National altua
tlon also had been discussed, but de
clined to repeat any of the conversa
tion. It was learned, however, that
they had not taken up the question of
a candidate for Governor of New yora.
When the folonel wa asked whether

. . . . i . .. . i . ua hu. n .
would be precisely wn- ---
"There will he no compromise in any
way" he said. This Is a fight for
decency In politics as against bosslsm.
The Colonel said he had noticed in
estimates given out by William Barnes.
Jr. of Albany, that Mr. Bamea had
Placed some of his own counties In the
Roosevelt column. He was too old a
campaigner, he Intimated, to be thrown
off his guard by anything that ilr.
Barnes said. .
The Colonel reiterated his determin
ation not to accept the nomination for
Governor of New York. He was re
minded he had said that under no cir
cumstances would he accept the nom
ination for Vice-President In 100. yet
the convention nominated him and he
accepted. The reminder did not shake
him. He repeated that no one could
force the nomination for Governor
upon him.
Colonel Roosevelt said that it had
been planned originally that he and the
president should meet In New York. Mr.
Taft found that It would be Inconven
ient for Mm to go to New York.
Chairman Or I scorn aald:
Mr. Roosevelt and myself are pleased
to find Mr. Taft fully understands the

DIVIDENDS WERE HIDDEN
Continued From First Fsk
lty. The controller Insisted there was a
vast difference, even If the result were
the same In cash to the stockhoMrs.
which tie admitted.
Dividend.- Are Hidden.
This part of the testimony opened a
new question of the disposition of a cor
poration's stock and Commissioner Lane,
after asking if It was to make the stock
value approach the cash value and being
Informed It was not. allowed the attor
ney to delve Into the par stock deals.
"If your stock sold at ISO in open mar
ket." asked the attorney, "and you gave
It to your stockholders at 100, what be
came of the extra 50 per cent of its
value?"
"UTiy. it w-nt to the stockholders,"
was the answer.
"Then the upshot of It waa your com
pany added to Its capital stock by let
ting stock go to par. when It needed
money, when It could have sold less
stock on the open market, mtlMled Its
needs, and kept the capital stock down,
giving less capital to figure dividends
upon; isn't that so?"
$19,000,000 I Manipulated.
Controller Blauvelt was unwilling such
an impression should prevail, he said,
and he explained by raying:
"Supposing we dumped I15,0l0.fitt) In
stock on the market at once; It would
aend Its value way below par. I con
sider It a good business policy to sell
where we were sure It would bring par
and keep control of the road where It
was."
Attorney .Ataood asked how much of
tr.e company's CS5.O0rt.flOO In stocks and
bonds had thus been sold at par since
lse
The reply caused other attorneys for
the shippers to examine the records that
had been submitted by the company.
Mr. Blauvelt answered:
"I find the sum u H9.000.OfO par
value."
"That, sold in small dabs on the
market or if it all could have been
eld at market prices would have
amounted to about a third or a half or
more in addition to that figure "wouldn't
It?"
"I don't know." replied the witness.
Stockholders Profits Large.
"I think J can help you." added the
attorney. He read from a stock and
bond company's pamphlet which quoted
the high and low market prices In the
period covered ai between 12 and 174.
with an average of about 150.
Commissioner Clements Interposed an
Inquiry that directed the questioning
along a new line, that of the uses
to which stock sale money was put.
and the possibility that actual gains
of the company might be hidden In Its
owning stock, and bonds In subsidiary
companies.
The controller answered this ques
tion by Insisting that when the parent
company paid out maintenace costs for
subsidiary companies and the subsid
iaries paid back dividends, those re
turns were not properly sources of In
come t be considered In computing
dividends.
The Commissioner asked:
"dome of this additional property
which your company acquired was pur
chased by earnings, wasn't It?"
"It was." was the reply.
"Then.'' Interrupted Attorney Lyons,
"does the income Include returns from
these outside companies!"
"No. certainly not." was the reply artf
the controller. "Few of them pay any
dividends and return revenue Is con
sumed In payment of expenses on their
separate lines and does not furnish
the parent company wltn any excess
for Income," t

was a source of much gratification to
vt To ft m nA hla frlands. That his aid
should be sought at this time and In the
manner It was. following me somewnai
recent attitude of almost completely Ig
noring his Administration or existence,
probably gave the President much sat
isfaction. The ex-President was thoroughly
drenched by waves breaking over the
side of the rnotorboat coming across the
sound. The captain of the boat, al
though starting for Bridgeport, put In
to Stamford.
"Can't you make Norwalk?" Koosa
velt inquired.
"We might." replied the skipper, "but
the chances are we might not."
Colonel Roosevelt afterward told Mr.
Taft that the situation seemed to be
serious for a while. The Colonel said
that occasionally It became so interesting
that he did not have time even to think
of seasickness.
llooeevelt Sought Interview.
Today's conference had its Inception on
Saturday last, though It had been kept
a close secret until within a short time
of Colonel Roosevelt's arrival In New
York. Mr. Grlscom and Mr. Bannard
telephoned Mr. Norton last Saturday and
asked that an arrangement be made by
which Mr. Roosevelt might hold a con
ference with the President during his
New Haven visit. This, the President
ws glad to do. He said he expected to
lunch, as usual, with President lladley
after the Yale Corporation meeting.
Dr. Hadley was advised of this and ac
cordingly Invited the President. Mr.
Roosevelt. Mr. Bannard. Mr. Grlscom and
Mr. Norton to take luncheon together.
Dr. Hadley's house being dismantled, the
luncheon was given at the home of Henry
C. White.
Prior to Mr. Roosevelt's arrival no one
In the Presidential party had been In
formed of the purpose of the conference.
It was made plain that the request had
come "from the other side."
Mr. Bannard. who accompanied the
President to Albany, explained tonight
that he and Mr. Grlscom thought It
would be a good thing to get the Presi
dent and Mr. Roosevelt together again,
"to smooth over any apparent differences
between them."
This applied, however, only to the
New Tork state situation. As to the
fight In 1912. there Is a disposition on
the part of the leaders to cross that
bridge when they come to it. and to
steer a long way off In the meantime.
Mr. Bannard said tonight that he did
not believe Mr. Roosevelt would be a
candidate.
Colonel Has Stormy Trip.
Colonel Roosevelt left Oyster Bay
early this morning. He set out In the
little 27-knot speed boat Tarpon for
Bridgeport. Colonel Roosevelt drove
from Stamford Harbor first to Fair
field. Conn., to pick up Mr. Grlscom
at his Summer home there. Mr. Ban
nard already was In New Haven, being
a fellow member of the Tale Corpora
tion with Mr. Taft.
At Fairfield the Colonel changed to
Mr. Grlscom's car and started for New
Haven. Tire trouble soon put the Grls
com car out of commission. Another
oar. quite antiquated and somewhat di
lapidated, was picked up at a village
garage and again a start was made.
It was In this car that New Haven fin
ally was reached. The going had been
slow, however, and the Colonel's sched
ule had gone to pieces.
The President and the other guests
at the White House waited luncheon
until 1:30 o'clock and then, having
failed to locate the Roosevelt party
by telephone, the meal was begun. It
had been In progress but a little while
when up drove the Colonel.
Mr. White came out to greet Mr.
Roosevelt and usher him Into the
House. The President did not leave
the dining room.
The conference lasted a little more
than an hour. Colonel Roosevelt had
to catch the J:l train for Springfield
to make connections there for Cincin
nati, whither he is Journeying tonight.
Ride Togetlier to Station.
It was nearly 2:10 when the confer
ence ended. The President, accompa
nied by Mr. Morton, was the first to
appear, and it was announced that
Colonel Roosevelt would ride with tha
party to the station to see the Presi
dent off. Messrs. Grlscom and Bannard
came next. They appeared somewhat
serious and went off to one side for a
conference by themselves, which seemed
quite earnei-t.

bile, and then followed a wait of sev
eral minutes for the Colonel, who had
been putting on some fresh linen. He,
too. seemed more serious than usual,
and announced that he "must preserve
bis usual reticence and say nothing."
The President had the rear seat in
the automobile and the Colonel had
to climb over him when he got in.
Meanwhile the train was being held
and quite a crowd had gathered at the
station. Before the President got
aboard his private car, he and Colonel
Roosevelt stood for a minute with
hands clasped, saying goodbye, and as
the train. pulled out. he took off his
black felt hat and waved a last fare
well. Mr. Taft said that while a number
of subjects were Injected Into the brief
conference, the New York situation was
the foundation for the gathering. Mr.
Roosevelt's speech at Syracuse, In
which he quoted Mr. Taft and Abraham
Lincoln In making a defense of his
attack on the Supreme Court, was men
tioned, but only In a casual way, it is
said.
Mr. Taft had hoped that his part in
the New York State fight was at an
end. The situation In that state was
not of his making and he did not feel
In any way responsible for It. The
question of Indorsement of the Admin
istration did not come up in Mr. Taffs
presence. Mr. Bannard declared, how
ever, that it would be complete.
As to 112. Mr. Taft Is entirely sat
isfied with, the position he has taken.
He la not out hunting for delegates or
Indorsements for renomlnatlon. Even
the thought that Colonel Roosevelt may
be In the fight against him does not
appear to disturb the President In the
least. Hs" feels that every man s at
liberty to do as he pleases. Colonel
Roosevelt among the rest.
Shadow Is Over Friendship.
There Is no doubt, however, that the
shadow of 1912 hung over .today's
gathering. There was not the cordiality
of old between the President and the
Colonel. It was the first time they had
met since the story was given out at
Oyster Bay that Colonel Roosevelt felt
Mr. Taft had not dealt fairly wrth him
in New York and had "sold out to the
bosses" there In return for a pledge
of delegates in 1912. The President
felt the injustice of that story keenly,
it Is said, and, as a result of it. the
relations between him and Mr. Roose
velt can never be the same.

George Chavez, of Peru, Says Air
Currents Strongest Ever Encoun
tered, Nearly Throwing Him
to Hard Rocks Below.
BRIEG, Switzerland, Sept. 19. Though
the weather was unpropitious for the
bold undertaking, Mr. Weymann, the
American, and George Cbavesf.' the Peru
vian, attempted the across-the-Alps
aeroplane flight today. Both failed, but
not until they had given pretty exhibi
tions of high flying that promised better
success in fair weather.
During the night a stiff breeze was
blowing In the Simplon Pass and the
mountain peaks were hidden In a dense
fog. There seemed little prospect that
the competition would begin today, riow
ever, after daylight the wind had gone
down and although it was still cloudy,
the Intrepid Chavez and Weyanann de
cided to riHk a flight. They got away
with encouraging cries from an enormous
crowd that waa disappointed yesterday,
and hRd feared that bad weather would
compel another postponement today.
Chavez left the starting ground, a lit
tle quadrilateral plateau overlooking the
Rhone Valley, first, and immediately be
gan to rise in sweeping spirals until he
had reached an altitude above the tower-lna-
mountain wall opposite. Then he dis
appeared over the granite shoulder that
marks the entrance to tne saitine uorgB.
A moment later the watchers at that
point saw the monoplane wheel and grad
ually descend until it alighted on a little
grassy Blope at the foot of the sheer
cliffs.
Weymann, who started a few moments
after Chavez, remained in the air only
eight minutes. He ascended to an alti
tude of about 1700 feet, where he encoun
tered a baffling wind. In landing at the
bottom of the Rhone Valley he bent a
wheel of his machine.
Chaves reached an altitude of 76 feet,
when he was caught in a violent wind.
He observed that the summit of the
Simplon Pass was obscured by heavy
clouds and decided to return rather than
chance landing farther on the rocks. He
announced that he might try again later

ORBOONIAN KKvTS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Sept. II. The State of Wash
ington will be a lesser factor In the
2d Congress than It has been in tne
81st. This Is not due so much to the
personality of tne new men who will

always impairs) tne lniiuence 01 any
state delegation, no matter how able or
ho prominent -the new members
may be.
Not all the changes In the Washing
ton flelegatlon are attributable to the
nolltlcal uoheaval that was recorded at
the recent primary election. The state
suffered its first great lose In the death
of Representative Cushman. The Ta
eoma man had risen to front rank In
the lower branch of Congress, and was
a power for good. Hto place was filled
by a man entertaining very much the
same political ideas that bed made him
influential, and wniie a stranger, urns

the House so valuable to every member
when time waa caned, juoge mci.ru
hardly had tinze to round first base.
Plies Becoming Well Known.
The second loss sustained by the
state comes through the voluntary re
tirement of Senator Piles. The Seattle
man, while less prominent than Cush
man, had yet remained in the Senate
long enough to attain positions of in
fluence. He had made many friends
among Senators; he had risen to desir
able place on desirable committees,
notably the committee on commerce
and the committee on judiciary; he had
worked with the Administration, and was
successful in promoting local legislation
for his state. Had he been returned,
his influence would have still further in
creased, and the state would have reaped
the benefit. But Senator Piles long ago
decided to retire. Whether he sensed the
change of sentiment, and was able to look
far enough into the future to read defeat
in the growing Insurgent movement, he

Thia.mmoa onlv with service. No Sena

And herein lies the secret of the
strength of the East The older states,
while they are numerically stronger than
the young commonwealths of the West,
long since learned that longevity of serv
ice in Congress gives a man steadily in
creasing influence and power. Having
learned that lesson, the East, in a great
many instanceei, picks strong men to
start with, and once It elects them to
Senate or House, keeps them there to
develop. That is why the Bast holds

leeson from the Bast, dui tne primaries
Indicate that the lesson has gone for
naught. ,
Although the House came to know
Poindexter during the past session, he
waa looked upon generally as an ac
cident, and the House members with
few exceptions, believed that hla pass
ing would mark the end of Insurgent
members from the Evergreen 8tate. But
if the primary choice is approved by
the Legislature, and the Insurgent rep
resentation of the state shows an ln-

Wisconsin, and its insurgent, men,.

Polndexter waa a welcome visitor.
But In the House, as in the Senate,
new members will labor under a, handi
cap. They will have to begin at he
bottom; they must learn the ropes; they
must study the game, and during their
first term must be content to look on
and let others run the House. Poln

this rule: he sought to do what other

Henry j . . m qui reiaiea w nswi i
Bean and Is a very different kind of
man. Henry J. Bean is running as an
anti-assembly candidate. The fact is
that he was present in Portland when
the assembly met and bad his tickets
printed and distributed among the
delegates. After the adjournment or
the assembly he left the Armory in
company with Hon. S. B. Huston, stat
ing that Eastern Oregon had been well
cared for by the assembly and predict
ing the nomination of all the assembly
candidates. Now he is flooding the
malls with an antl-assenibly circular
in which he makes unfounded and in
temperate charges against one of his
opponents and egotistically assumes
that he and ne only can oe electee, it
made the party nominee. By his con
duct he has thoroughly demonstrated
bis unfitness for this high Judicial
office. -
Judge McBride and Mr. - McCamant
have demeaned themselves with dtgnity
in the campaign. Eastern Oregon Is
represented on the Supreme Bench by
Judge Robert Eakin. of I'nlon County,
whose term does not expire till Janu
ary, 1913. The geographical argument
favors the assembly candidate. Port
land has had no Judge of the Supreme
Court for twenty years, although It
furnishes nearly half the business of
the court. Many of the questions com
ing before the court are of a character
such that a Judge fresh from a large
city practice could assist the court in
reaching a correct conclusion.
' ANTI-CORPORATION BIXCOMBB.
Mr. McCamant has been attacked a
a corporation lawyer. It is pointed out
that he Is attorney for the little rail
road now building from HUlsboro to
Tillamook. E. E. Lytle is president of
this railroad company, and Mr. Me
Camant's employment is due to the fact
that he and Mr. Lytle were born In
the same county In Pennsylvania, and
their families have been friends for
several generations. New railroads
are one of the crying needs of the
State of Oregon, and a new railroad
cannot be built without the aid of an
attorney. Does a man forfeit his
rights as a citizen by accepting such
employment? Can the people of Ore
gon afford to boycott a man for per
forming a work so necessary in the
development of the state? Mr. Mc
Camanfs law practice is large and
varied and of necessity includes some
corporate clients. The career of Gov
ernor Charles E. Hughes, of New York,
demonstrates that such a law practice
Is no Impediment to disinterested and
useful public service.
W1THYCOMBE OX 31 'CAM ANT.
The following discussion of Mr. Mc
Camant's qualifications is from the
pen of Dr. James Withycomb'e, of Cor
vallls. Republican nominee for Gov
ernor in 1906 and a man who weighs
well his words. It was printed orig
inally as a communication to the Cor
vallis Gazette-Times:
"There are times when one finds it
difficult to hold his peace. This is my
condition at present, and I ask your in
dulgence, for a brief space to enter a
protest against the unwarranted attack
upon Mr. Wallace McCamant. It has
been my pleasure to know Mr. Mc
Camant for a number of years, and I
know him as an able lawyer, states
man, scholar', and. above all, a thorough
gentleman. He has been a citizen of
this state for a number of years and
hla life among us has been, as it were,
an open book without a blemish upon a
single page. As a lawyer he is the
equal of any In the Northwest, and al
ways found unswervingly faithful to
his clients. ...
"Many of our citizens will doubtless
remember his eloquent and Inspiring
address at the decoration exercises in
this city some two years since. This is
thoroughly characteristic of the man.
His voice has been heard all over the
commonwealth in behalf of civic
righteousness and higher ideals of
civilization. He Is a man of sterling
Integrity and absolutely fearless to do
that which he thinks is right, regard
less of public criticism. I can assure
your readers that if Mr. McCamant is
nominated and elected to the high of
fice to which he aspires he will bring
strength and honor to the Supreme
Bench of Oregon."
LAWYERS' ASSEMBLY.
Certain anti-assembly speakers and
Democratic papers attack Judge Bur
nett and Mr. McCamant on the ground
that the assembly indorsed them; in
other words, it Is contended that these
gentlemen should be beaten because
twelve hundred of their fellow-citizens
have declared that they are qualified
for service on, the Supreme Bench. The
men making these attacks do not sup
port Henry J. Bean, but they urge
everyone to write on the Republican
primary ballot the name of Will R.
King in place of Judge Burnett, and of
W. T. Slater in place of Mr. McCamant.
King and Slater are Democrats ap
pointed to the Supreme Bench by Gov
ernor Chamberlain when the court was
enlarged frpm three to five. The can
didacy of King and Slater had its in
ception at a lawyers' assembly consist
ing of 115 lawyers who represented no
one. Although there are 1500 lawyers
in Oregon, these 115 assumed to speak
for the bar of the state, and went on
re'eord In favor of the selection of
judges by lawyers only to the exclu
sion of the rest of the electorate. This
assembly proceeded to nominate King
and Slater under the provisions of
section 2791 of the code, and without
submitting their indorsement to the
Aired primary of any party.
What Judgment will the people pass
n men so inconsistent? If the Re
publican assembly violates the rights
f the people, what shall we say about
the lawyers' assembly? The -Republican
assembly assumed no province
except that of suggesting and recom
mending suitable candidates to the Re
publican electors. If men recommend
ed by such an assembly should be
beaten because they were so recom
mended, what fate should overtake the
nominees of the lawyers" assembly
who go on the ticket solely through
the support given them by 115 men of
one profession who arrogate to them
selves the right to name Judges to the
exclusion of all electors?
The false charge of bosslsm Is pre
ferred by these men against tha Re
publican assembly. Yet there never
was a convention whose work was so"
thoroughly cut and dried in advance
as that of the lawyers' assembly. It
was called to nominate King and Slater,
and long in advance of the meeting the
programme was arranged of using the
honored names of Judge Moore and
Judge McBride to give standing and
respectability to the gathering.
The men. who line up with a framed
up, close-corporation, lawyers' assem
bly denounce an open assembly repre
sentative of the people, and made up
of 1200 delegates gathered from all
parts of the state and from men of
various callings. And these men claim
to stand for the rule of the people.
JUDGE . M'BRIDE.
Judge McBride has been on the bench
in Oregon for eighteen years, a year or
more on the Supreme Bench and the
remainder of the time Circuit Judge of
one of its most important judicial dis
tricts. He has demonstrated that he is ,
kindly and courteous in his treatment !
of litigants, fearless and just in his
decisions. No man in Oregon is more
popular than he or more deservedly so.
He is a loyal and true Republican,
always zealous for the welfare of the
party: but in judicial matters he is
blind to everything except the merits
of the cause.
