miry law and Statement No. 1 and all
other people-made laws be allowed to
stand without change until changed by
the people themselves, and pledged his
most earnest support along these lines.
He called attention to the necessity of
a public service commission, created by
law that will regulate the gas, elec
tric andri telephone companies. The
question of good roads waa covered at
some length by the speaker, who fur
ther showed It was better for all can-
ceraed to have the convicts employed

SPOKANE CHARTER COCNTS OX
BCTING UTILITIES.
Opportunity to Be Afforded City to
x Take Over Streetcar Lines
and Power riant.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Oct. 11. (Special.)
There is every probability that the
proposed new city charter, now being
drafted by the freeholders' committee,
will Include provision for purchase by
the city of ail the holdings of public
service corporations. This Is the pro
vision Introduced by Warren W. Tol
man into the charter prepared by
Mayor N. S. Pratt's original committee.
Under this provision it will be possl
ble for the city to take over the Wash
Ington Water Power Company or the
Spokane Traction Company, streetcar
companies, at any time it becomes nec
essary for either of these companies to
have either a renewal or an amendment
in franchises. It will also be pro
Tided that in snch an event It will be
necessary for the city to take no ac
count of the value of the franchise,
only the fair actual value of the plant
Itself being considered.
"The corporations may call this so
ciallstlc," said B. S. Ostrander, chair
man of the franchises sub-committee
of the freeholders committee, "but It Is
just. It may be 10 years or it may
be 25 years before Spokane will want
to operate its own streetcar system and
power plant, but the way should be
left open and made easy.
"Provision should also be made In
the new charter," continued Mr. Os
trander, "for the city to collect more
money from franchises. On the new
lines the city now gets the munificent
sum of two mills a carmile. In other
words, if a car runs five miles the city
collects a cent. On the old lines in
the center of the city not a cent is
provided for. The way should be left
open for the city to renew old fran
chises upon at least as good terms as
it now grants new ones.

INQUIRY
TO BE SECRET
SEATTLE GRAFT COMMITTEE IG
NORES GILL'S PROTEST.
Detectives Securing Evidence but Find
No One Saying Money Has
Been Given to Chief.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 11. The City
Council's graft investigating committee
decided today to hold secret meetings,
despite the demands of Hiram C. Gill,
Mayor, and Charles W. Wappensteln,
Chief of Police, for open sessions. James
Conway, Councilman, who voted against
the appointment of the committee and
who has stood for the open-door policy,
has agreed to the plan.
Several women from the King-street
district were questioned today concern
ing the system by which they are re
quired to pay money for police protec
tion. The committee has several de
tectives gathering evidence in the dis
trict, and they make dally reports.
Dudley G. Wooten. ex-Representative
to Congress from Texas, attorney for
Chief Wappensteln. has not been in
vited to attend the secret sessions of
the committee.
Questioned concerning Chief Wap-
pensteln's case, members of the com
mittee Informed Mr. Wooten that, so
far, no witnesses had - been secured
who would testify that they had given
the Chief of Police money for protec
tion.
ROOSEVELT CHANGES MIND
Ex-President Now Would Halt-Jap

SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Oct. 11. (Sd-
claD That Theodore ' Roosevelt has
changed his opinion on the Japanese
question since two years ago, when he
prevented the California Legislature
from parsing an act prohibiting aliens
irom noiaing property In this state, was
the statement made last night by Will
lam Kent, Republican candidate for
Congress in the Second District, who
addressed an audience at the Asiatic
Exclusion League's meeting, where the
agitation for strict anti-Japanese legis
lation was taken up. with pledges to
carry the movement to the next Legis
Two years ago," said Kent. "I had
considerable correspondence with Mr.
Roosevelt on the Japanese question. It
is of a private nature and I cannot
make it public, but I will say this
much, that in one letter Rooeevelt
w rote, A short time ago I differed with
you utterly, today I think you are cor
rect.
Kent declared . that Roosevelt had
come at last to realise that gravity of
having a new race "come into and in
termingle with ours " Kent and others
who spoke said that efforts must be
made at once to check Japanese from
acquiring so much land in California.
He said that Roosevelt did not realise
the true situation at the time he inter
fered with the measure before the last
Legislature, but he and other men of
National affairs now want to see fewer
privileges extended to Japanese.
T. G. Negrlch, legal adviser or the
league, said that a fight will be made
before the next Legislature to enact
anti-Japanete laws.
Academy to Play Vancouver.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Oct. 1L (Spe
cial.) The Portland Academy football
team will meet the first team of the
Vancouver High School on the local
grounds Friday afternoon at 3:30
o'clock. The Vancouver team has been

ington HlKh School, of Portland, last

VANCOUVER.. Wash., Oct 1L (Spe
cial.) Recommendations that the vast
coal deposits of Alaska be opened, that
the cost of supplies for the military sta
tions there may be lessened, and that
the Government exert every effort to pre
vent the stampedes of fortune hunters
to the frozen Northland on false reports
of gold strikes are contained in the an
nual report of General Marion P. Maus,
commander of the Department of the
Columbia, United States Army, which
has Just been issued.
The report also advocates the use of
motor transportation for the Army and
the elimination from active service of
a certain class of officers, most of them
of field rank, who have no useful place
in the military establishment but are
held a detriment to the service and an
obataclo In the way of the advancement
of deserving officers. The law at present
does not reach these cases.
Alaska Is More Stable.
In dealing 'with conditions In Alaska,
tha report says business there has fallen
olT but is now more stable. The deposits
found in the Idltarod country, says the
report, were greatly overestimated, large
numbers of people flocking to the locality
with' no means of support and no em
ployment to be had.
A brief summary of the salient features
of the report follows:
The large deposits of coal In Alaska,
the necessity of a supply and the great
advantage of opening up same for the
benefit of the country and supply of
government stations and vessels, con
sidering the excessive cost in that re
gion today, are very evident and would
materially reduce expenses In the sup
ply of our military stations.
Cost of Supplies High.
The cost of supplies for the troops In
Alaska is very high, that for fresh
meat being entirely too great. There
Is no question but that It would be In
the Interest of economy to provide at
Fort Gibbon. Alaska, a refrigerating
plant and equip one of the barges wit:i
a smaller plant, thereby enabling fresh
meat to be delivered at greatly reduced
cost and securing certainty and
promptness in distribution.
The annual inspections of the organ
ized militia have been conducted by
competent officers, and reports have
been forwarded, which will be of great
value, showing the actual conditions of
the organizations.
Athletics Are Encouraged.
Athletic contests in the various posts
have been encouraged with unparal
leled results.
All organizations have been required
to take their regular practice marches,
with as full a complement as possible
The prescribed schools have been con
ducted in accordance with instructions
from the Secretary of War. In the gar
rison school for officers, 1J of these
were found deficient, in one or more
subjects; all others were proficient.
tor considerable periods there has
been no regular inspector-general in
this department, owing to the absence
of the officer assigned: but. on the
whole, inspections have been satisfac
torily made. There has been an im
provement In the training of the troops
throughout the department. The con
ditions in Alaska, where there was
much to have been desired, have been
greatly Improved. General Maus in
spected every post in Alaska during
the 'year, with the exception of Fort
Llscum. ,
There is no question-but that motor
transportation. If reliable types of
such wagons can be secured, should be
provided, and would result not only In
rapid transportation, and at the same
time reduce enormously the expense,
but would also add to the efficiency of
the Army and its readiness for serv
ice. The difficulty of procuring desira
ble animals increases year by year, and
horseless transportation must be re
lied on in future wars.
A great many cases in the Judge-Advocate-General's
department that
were formerly tried by summary or
other inferior courts have been dis
posed of by company discipline. "I
believe that not more than one sum
mary court officer should be allowed
tor each post," said Generad Maus, "on
account of the Inoongruous points of
view as to punishment for Identical
offenses."
Uniformity Is Sought.
' Any regulation that will tend to se
cure uniformity in trials and sentences
throughout the Army would be a great
aid in producing contentment in the
service and in prevention of desertion.
Company discipline should . be more
generally, enforced.
There were three trials of officers
during the year. First Lieutenant
Terry, Twenty-second Infantry, was
tried and dismissed. Two Coast Ar
tillery officers were also tried and re
ceived minor sentences. The trial of
Colonel George F. Cooke, retired, was
begun June 22 and completed August
16, but the result has not yet been pub
lished. Alaska, on account of Its Isolation
and the small number of officers at
stations, presents difficulties in the en
forcement of discipline by courts which
exist nowhere else in the United States
or her posessions. It is recommended
that the power of the summary and
garrison courts be materially increased.
Water supply at all posts, except
Fort Lawton, Wash , has been satis
factory.' At fort Lawton during the
dry season the supply was Inadequate.
The growth of Seattle near that post
has caused a general Increase in con
sumption, without adequate increase in
supply.

The New Home of
Hobart M. Cable Pianos
Because of its thoroughness of construction and exceptional
value, the exclusive agency for the well-known Hobart M. Cable
Piano has been accepted by The Wiley B. Allen Co., and in the
future all the new styles in the various different woods will be
found in Portland only at our warerooms, 304 Oak street.
While not the most expensive, nor yet as extensively advertised
as some other makes, the Hobart M. Cable Pianos are, neverthe
less, of such excellent workmanship and musical quality as to
engage the attention of the best musical people in this country.
They are used in over three hundred
colleges and schools and are the
choice of fifty thousand homes
Our attention was directed toward the many excellences of the
Hobart M. Cable Pianos some time ago, but it has always been the
policy of this house to exercise great caution in selecting its agen
cies. No instrument is accepted until it has answered splendidly
severest artistic tests as to durability and staying-in-tone qualities.
Save for the addition of Eastern freight, every piano on our
floors is marked at the identical price at which the same instru
ment would sell on the retail floors of its manufacturer. .
