Political Conspiracy Charged.
Continuing. Mr. Lafferty alleges a
conspiracy on the part of political ene

this connection he makes the allegation

makes. It Is charged against these
"detectives" that they have sought to
Induce Lafferty to Initiate and support
legislation In Congress that would

MOTIVE
to do with the alleged railroad repre
sentatives. 31 r. Lafferty Eipialna.
Sir. Lafferty yesterday made the fol
lowing statement In reply:
"Three months aito I sent out about
10 gallery cards, most of them going
to Portland and a few to friends here
In Waahlngton. In one rase alone I
sent a card to a young lady residing
her whom I had not met and stated
that if she should have occasion to
visit the House gallery that I hoped
she would use the card. I also stated
that I would feel honored to have an
" Introduction to her sometime In the
future If agreeable to her. Treat waa
all the letter contained. ,
"A week later the father of the
young lady railed at my offlc and. af
-ter expressing surprise at seeing such
.' a youthful Representative, stated that
he had supposed that I was some el
derly individual and had Imagined that
the letter was written In bad faith.
He left my office apparently In th
beat of humor and I have not seen him
from that day to thla.
"About June 19 F. II. Barrow, who
le carrying a card marked 'Repre
senting Portland (Or.) Telegram.
railed at my offlc and stated that E.
I. Baldwin, formerly private secretary
to representative Ellis, had possession
of th story about th letter and that
Baldwin would probably give the story
to the correspondent of th Portland
Journal. Barrow further stated that
Bali win was hard up and that he
wanted to go Wsst to practice law as
soon aa he could rats th money. '
"Shako Down la Predicted.
"A few days later Barrow came Into
my office and said: 'You may expect
to get "shook down" for eome money
tadajr. aa Baldwin baa tipped th let
1
ter story off to the correspondent of
the Journal." I replied that ther was
no offense Involved in the sending of
the letter, but that to put up money
to suppress a story would be an of
fense and that I would not do so.
"A little over two weeks ago a re
porter representing a paper In this city
called to see me on the same subject. I
went with him to the office of his man
aging editor and found that his paper
had also gotten the story from Bald
win and that Baldwin had carried
around with him when peddling this
story clippings from a Portland week
ly paper and had exhibited these clip
pings with the hope of prejudicing me.
The Washington newspaper manager
Stated that he would take the matter
under advisement and I left th of
fice.
"The following morning Barrow
called at my office In my absence and
told my eecretary. R. L. Merrick, that
the story would appear that day In
the Washington newspaper. It did
not appear. Barrow also said that he
had sent the story to the Telegram,
simply to let the editor know that he
waa not 'asleep around Washington."
but the Telegram had replied that It
did not handle that kind of stuff.
Suspicions Circumstances Told.
"This morning I received a message
from Carl a Kelty. merely advising me
that the story had appeared In the
Telegram, but giving none of Its con
tents. I had previously written to
Mr. Kelty. giving him the Inside of th
transaction.
"Barrow works under Josepn tsreca
ons. who is the regular Telegram cor
respondent here. Barrow makes the
rounds of the House members,' offices
dally, but Breckons haa been In my of
fice only once since I came here.
"Breckons and Harry J. Brown, cor
respondent for The Oregonian. office
iiu.ih In one room In the Metropoli
tan Rank huil.llng. I called there
Friday night last and told Brown in
the presence of Breckons some suspi
cious circumstances connected with
thla affair, which may or may not
thmv mnm liarht unon the motive be
hind it. or may or may not have had
something to do with the appearance
of the story tn th Telegram tne ioi-
"The facts I related to Brown in the
presence of Breckons are these: Al
though the father-of the young lady
left my office three months ago appar
ently In good humor. I received from
him about three weerte sgo a reBi
letter threatening violence. I re
plied to this letter that I could be
found unarmed tn my office alone every
day from noon till 1 o'clock, while my
secretary Is at lunch, and that any
one desiring to try his hand at licking
me was cordially Invited to call at
that hour.
Stationery Bought in Portland.
'I further told Brown and Breckons
that 1 'waa on the trail of the man or
men who procured that letter to be
written, as I did not believe that It
was written voluntarily. I stated mat
I held th letter up to the light and
found the paper to be water-marked
"Mount Hood.' and that I had learned
from Kellogg's Stationery Directory
that this paper waa manufactured for
the J. K. GUI Company, of Portland.
Or. I atated that this led me to be
lieve that Portland parties or their
representatives had been Instrumental
In nrocutina- the letter to be written.
1 stated that the only object in send
ing the letter by registered man waa
to later spring a carbon copy, which
had undoubtedly been retained, to
gether with the registry receipt.
-Now these are the facts up. to date,
and I want the people of Oregon to
know them. I am going right ahead
attending- to my duties here, and shall
continue to do so. I have more friends
In Congress today than I have ever
had and all these stories have been
peddled among the members for several
weeks.
"I recently made a speech on the As
toria Centennial and It was printed In
full In several Eastern papers with
most complimentary headings. It has
so far been Ignored by Portland papers.
I also mad a speech In favor of en
forcing the Oregon at California Rail
road land grant, which has been com
mented upon widely by Eastern papers,
one Philadelphia paper writing a col
umn editorial upon It, and calling It a
great speech, but my home papers hav
paid but little attention to It. Thomas
Fttch. of California, who waa a mem
ber of Congress at th time the grant
waa made, haa written me that he had
read my "very able apeech In the Con
gressional Record." and that I was on
exactly th right track, and that the
Government Is pursuing a flase theory
In asking for a forfeiture Instead of
seeking to force th grant.
Railroad Detectives Active.
"If Fitch Is correct. I am the only
man that the railroad company need
to fear, and If they can destroy me. It
will Inure greatly to their benefit.
Copies of my railroad speech will be
sent to each voter in the district mis
week and It may throw some light on
th litter fight being made on me.
However. I do not wish to say that
the secret service department of th
railroad company Is doing me any
harm with the knowledge of the head
officers of the company. Hut I do
know they have two detectives her
from Fan Francisco watching every
move that I make. They have been In
my office several times, stating that
they are promoting a railroad from
Coos Bay to Grants Pass an Impos
sible route. They said the name of their
company would be the "Coos Bay
Eastern Electric company." I stated
that I would send a reporter around
to see them, but they stated that would
spoil the whole thing. I had Intended
to play them along turiner oeiore mean
ing tbnt public, but the fire upon me
from the rear forces me to give th
facts now.
"Ther stated that they wanted me to
get a bill through giving them a right-of-way
over the public lands and over
the railroad landa. I told them the Sec
retary of the Interior could give them
a right-of-way over the public lands
without a bill, and that the only way
for them to get a right-of-way over
private lands would be by a condemna
tion suit. They said they would be In
to see me often and were anxious to
know If I was going to send out my
Isnd-grant speech generally. In which
1 urge the County Courts of Oregon to
decline from now on to accept taxes
from the company. All the company
desires is to be permitted to pay taxes
In full as owner In fee simple, while
the case drags along, and In that way
to build up an equitable defense.
Controversy to Be Avoided.
"I, shall not b diverted from my
work, or humiliate myself on my con
stituents, by giving further notice to
the libels that have been published
against me. unless It becomes Impera
tive to do so. My enemies would be
delighted to get me to descend Into
th mire of a controversy with them.
They hav their detectives at'work In
Portland, and they have had the hardi
hood to Interview every girl that they
could find that I have ever been ac
quainted with there. But they hav
not been able to find one who was silly
enough to fall to their stories. I hav
never associated with a girl In Port
land who I not a perfect lady, and aa
angel compared with the human rep
tiles, with filth and slim exuding from
every pore of their rotten bodies, who
are attempting to besmirch my char
acter, i
In Jostle to tb correspondent of
the Journal I wish to say that I asked
him if he had been approached with a
proposition to print the letter story.
He stated that Baldwin had given It to
him. but that he had Ignored It, and
did not consider It any of his business,
or tfca business of any newspaper, who i
I wrote to. - He said that if a man
should come Into his office and ask
him about a private matter of that
kind, he would kick him out.
"My enemies have simply taken ad
vantage of the fact that I am a single
man to make the attack upon me from
' the angle that the poisoned arrows are
row coming. They first searched my
record as a lawyer and as a public of
ficer, both In Missouri and In Oregon,
and found that It was Invulnerable.
Now they say I am a libertine, and that
I have no respect for women and girls.
They know that this Is not true.
Purity of Home Respected.
"There Is one Institution that I love
more than the Government In which I
live, and that Is the home. It may not
be given to me to ever have one of my
own.' but I would gladly die. If neces
sary, to protect the purity of those of
others who have been more fortunate
than myself. Homes are based upon the
virtues of the girls and the wives of
this country, and not one can be found
who will say that my words or actions
In private have ever been contrary to
the sentiment I here express."
"No one except myself has heretofore
known how lonesome I was when I
left Portland to come here to assume
my duties Inst February. An Incident
of tht trip will Illustrate what I mean.
The train pulled Into a lonely way sta
tion In Wyoming. Outside, everything
wss covered with snow. A boxcar fit
ted up as a house waa the only dwell
ing In sight. At the door stood a young
mother with two rosy-cheeked chil
dren. As the train took the siding to
let a westbound passenger go by. 1 1 saw
through my window the husband, who
was the aolltary section hand remain
ing at the station during the froxen
months. I went out in the sunlight
and grasped him by the hand. On tak
ing leave a few moments later, he said:
"" 'Say, partner, you are a pretty good
fellow, after all; but a while ago when
I was looking at you In that Pullman
car I envied you." The humor of the
situation gave me a hearty laugh that
cheered trie up for a day, for the sec
tion man and the Representative-elect
had each been envying the other's po
sition. r

YACHTS VIE ON RIVER
SPARROW NOW HOLDS COMMO
' DORE'S PEXXANT.
Naughty Girl. One of Best Sailboats
In Local Fleet, But Owner Is
Not XtAng Her for Racing.
On account of the light wind a week
ago, the yacht race on the Willamette
was not started until 4:40 P. M. The
boats entering were Spindrift. Fore-an'-Aft.
Sparrow, Terrier, Zephyr and
Dancing Sal. the course being from the
club dock to Madison bridge and re
turn. The time was. Sparrow, 1 hour,
10 minutes, 30 seconds; Fore-an'-Aft,
1 hour, 14 minutes. 10 seconds; Spind
rift. 1 hour, 17 minutes, 35 seconds;
Dancing Sal. 1 hour, 20 minutes, 3 sec
onds: Zephyr. 1 hour, 20 minutes and 4
seconds. This gives the Spindrift, Fore-an'-Aft
and the Sparrow each one race
for the Orea.se y Cup. The boat winning
three times will own the cup.
The Sparrow now holds the Commo
dore pennant and the other skippers
will have to do some good sailing to
get It -away from her. The Spindrift
struck ground several times and bent
the rudder, otherwise would Tiave made
a closer race. The challenge race for
the Feldenheimer perpetual cup was not
sailed after the race Sunday, as was
expected, on account of the mishap to
the Spindrift. This race will be sailed
Thursday evening.
Captain Todd, of the Fore-an-Aft,
says that he has his crew all signed up
for the regatta at Astoria, which seems
to be the only way of making aure that
the men will not desert the ship at the
eleventh hour. The other boat owners
would profit by this Information. "
The Buccaneer Is painted and fixed
up In first-class shape for the raffle,
most of the tickets having been sold.
. "At the last meeting of the directors
of the club, five new members were
accepted and, according to the treas
urer's report, this has been so far the
most successful year of the club finan
cially. Commodore Knight was enthus
iastic In his recommendations for th
betterment of the club.
The rac for the Feldenheimer per
petual challenge cup was run Thurs
day night between the Spindrift and
Sparrow, from the clubhouse to Mattl
son bridge and return. The Spindrift
came In eight minutes ahead of the
Sparrow and In consequence still re
tains the cup. This race was a surprise
to most of the skippers as well as to
Mr. Hastrof. who brought the- cup up
with him expecting to turn it over to
the Sparrow.
The Naughty Girl, shown In th pic
ture. Is the Corsair No. 2. built by Max
Meyers several years tgo. It Is 40 feet
long and carries 980 square feet of can
vas. Mr. Creasey bought her this year
and fixed her up for sailing. She Is
rather large for sailing in Inland
waters, as It takes a crew of several
men to handle her successfully In the
Willamette River. Mr. Creasey has
since bought the Sparrow from Mr.
Kurts and la not using the Naughty
(ilrl for racing thla season. She Is con
sidered a very fast boat. T. i. Wen
denhall has been sailing her most of
the season with good success.
