GOVERNORS CLASH,
MR REFERENDUM
Views of Wilson Are
Called "Vagaries."
COURTS LOWERED BY RECALL
Alabaman Sees Independence
of Judiciary Gone
MODERN PROPHET FLOUTED
Kw. Jersey Executive, Defending
Position, Denies That Vote of
Majority Is Caprice Suf
fragist to Speak Today.
6PRINO LAKE. N. J Sept. 12. Gov
ernor Wilson, of New Jersey, and Gov
ernor O'Neal, of Alabama, measured
swords over the Initiative and referen
3nm before the conference of Governors
this afternoon, 1
Governor Wilson, as champion of the
measure, replied to Governor O'Neal,
who had previously denounced It as
an "Insidious popular vagary.
Tbe Southern executive was on his
feet In a moment with an impassioned
defense of his position.
Governor O'Neal spoke vehemently
for 10 minutes, bowed and. without a
word, walked through a casement win
dow to the piazza fronting; the ocean.
Alabaman la Plain-Spoken.
He did not re-enter the convention
hall for IS minutes, and took no fur
ther part in the discussion. When the
conference . ended Governor Wilson
grasped Governor O'Neal by the hand
and remarked that he did not wish to
be misunderstood. Governor O'Neal
later said that he had stepped to the
piazza to meet Mrs. O'Neal.
There was no mincing of words in
the Alabaman's denunciation of the
initiative, referendum and recall.
"There la a movement which seems
to be gathering strongly in certain sec
tions of the country," be 'said. th-t
tends to weaken rather than strengthen
executive authority, and that is the
system of Initiative, referendum and
recall. The Governor has no power to
, veto or amend a law Initiated by the
people and adopted by referendum,
"Courts Wonld Degenerate."
"If the law Is In violation of the
Constitution,. Invades vested rights or
destroys individual liberty, the only
remedy, can be found In the courts:
and where the system of recall of
Judges prevails, overthrowing as It does
the independence of the Judiciary, the
courts would degenerate Into tribunals
organized chiefly to register popular
Judgment on all legal questions."
It was pleasing to know, he added,
that this "Insidious popular vagary"
would meet with the almost unanimous
opposition of the American bar.
Governor Wilson did not reply until
sereral Western Governors had spoken.
"It seems to me." he said, "that on
the auestion of the Initiative and ref
erendum It Is necessary that we carry
the analysis a little further than it
has been carried.
Source ef Law Scrutinised.
"A very important thing, a funda
mentally Important thing, is the source
of the law. Some of the laws that we
have are bad laws and they are bad
because there is a suspicion as to their
source. The people of the United
States want their Governors to be
leaders In matters of legislation, be
cause they have serious suspicion as to
the source of the legislation and they
have a serious distrust of their Legisla
tures. "What I would urge as against the
views of Governor O'Neal Is that there
is nothing inconsistent between the
strengthening of the powers of the
executive and the direct power of the
people."
He then spoke of the caprice of the
majority. "I have known of Instances
of the caprice of the mob," he said,
"but I have never known of an Instance
where the yote of the population was
spoken of as a caprice.
"I don't Velleve there is any distrust
of the fundamental principles of demo
cracy. I believe ,w are all Demo
crats If we use a small 'd.' " '
O'Neal Repeats Belief.
As Governor Wilson sat down. Gov
ernor O'Neal sprang to his feet and
reiterated his belief.
"I would rather stand with Madison
and Hamilton." he concluded, after out
lining what he believed the menace of
the measures, "than to stand with some
modern prophets and some of our
Western statesmen."
The discussion following Governor
O'Neal's address consumed the after
noon session. Governor Cruce, of Okla
homa, occupied the chair and those who
snoke Included Governors Gilchrist, Mo
Govern. Aldrlch, Kitchin, Burke,
Hadley. Shafroth and Hawley.
On motion of Governor Shafroth. of
Colorado, the delegates voted to meet
half an hour earlier on Thursday to

meeting on "Woman Suffrage."

"We do not concede that the amend

result Is. We shall wait for the of
ficial canvass of the vote and at that
time shall decide whether to take
steps to secure an Inspection of the
ballots."

ALTA. Cal., Sept 12. Aviator "Bob"
Fowler, en route from San Francisco to
New York, met with the first mishap
of his pioneer aerial voyage here at
10:30 o'clock this morning, when after
a precarious quest of a convenient
landing place, necessitated by a refrac
tory engine, and steering gear, his bi
plane collided with two trees, breaking
both planes of the craft and hurling it
to the ground with such force as to
break the propellers and slightly In
jure the dauntless blrdman.
As a result of the mishap. Fowler
will be delayed here at least two days
before resuming his eastward journey.
He said tonight he would continue his
flla-ht with New York as his destina
tion, within three days.
Wire Pulls Out
Before leaving Auburn this morning
Fowler had his first trouble with his
engine when a wire of the magneto cir
cuit pulled out The wire was taped by
Fowler and his mechanicians and after
a preliminary test was believed to be
in order again, but it is thought that It
was this slight defect which caused
the later trouble.
Leaving Auburn at 9:37 o'clock this
morning. Fowler rose to a height of
about 400 feet and followed the route
of the Southern Paclflo tracks through,
the rolling approaches to the foot
hills district For almost 40 miles he
sailed along without mishap, easily
distancing the special train and auto
mobiles which had made the start from
Auburn at the same time. '
Sometninar Goes wrong. I
As he came Into view in this sec
tion, however. It was apparent that
something was wrong with his craft
About a half mile from here his course
suddenly deviated sharply to the left
and as he approached tbe rising ground
southwest of town, he appeared unable
to elevate his machine; nor did he
slacken his speed. The craft dashed
full into two trees.
At a height of about 40 feet the right
plane of the machine struck the right
hand tree with a splintering sound and
the force of the blow sent the craft
careening over against the other tree.
This second blow crushed the left plane
and with both wings thus crumpled, the
great bird of human creation hovered
for the fraction of a second and then
turned turtle as it started on its fall
to earth. ,
Fowler Remains In Seat.

Countless Farmers Said to Have

CHICAGO, Sept li'. (Special.)
Charged merely with using: the malls
to defraud, but accused of selling: count
less "salted" mines to credulous for
eigners and garnering the hard cash of
farmers In Wisconsin and other states
In exchange for "green goods," S. A.
Potter, described by Government secret
service men as the cleverest swindler
in the world, was arrested today. The
arrest was made by C. F. Dewoody,
department superintendent of the secret
service branch of the Department of
Justice.
Potter Is said to have made his head
quarters In Chicago for months and to
have cleared more than $1,500,000 dur
ing the past two years through Illicit
enterprises.
Two Others Implicated,
Two men are said to be Implicated
with Potter, and Superintendent De
woody laid traps today to capture
them, but they were wary and eluded

The arrest today of Potter Is the
culmination of months of work on the
part of secret service men. Potter is
a prize they have been seeking zeal
ously. It Is said that a year ago they had
Potter, together with Edward Stark
loff, In custody In the United States
Court of Philadelphia, but that they
forfeited bonds of $23,000 and escaped.

ties declared that he must supply $150,
000 bonds. He could not raise the
money and was 'sent to JaiL.
Friends Are Wary.

dent Dewoody remained for several
hours In the luxuriously furnished
apartment occupied by Potter and his
wife, hoping' to capture Potter's com
panions. Tbe telephone rang once, but
when Superintendent Dewoody an
swered, the man at the other end of,
the line became suspicious and hung
ira the receiver.
Potter and Starkloff have operated
In nearly every large city In the world
under -numerous aliases, according to
Mr. Dewoody.
Potter and his companions came to
Chicago early In 1910 and opened an
office In the down-town district. By

were taken because one Chester Thomp
son Is In the city.
Thompson returned to Seattle from

was led to the altar at noon today, three
detectives, two patrolmen and a police
sergeant, two deputy sheriffs and Mau
rice Thompson, a brother of Chester

Prosecuting Attorney Murphy, bear
lng In mind a recent warning of his own

man's threat that no other should have
Miss Whittlesey for a bride, warned the
police several days ago to be on the
lookout for Thompson.
Maurice Thompson expressed a will
Ingness to do what he could to get

WHY IS AN AUTOMOBILE?
Mayor and Water Board Members
Worry Over "Big" Problem.
Why is an automobile?
This Important question occupied ten
minutes of the time of Mayor Rush
light and members of the Water Board
of this great city yesterday. It was
finally decided that the particular ma
chine under consideration was really
ourchased for use; that It was thought
the department could use one anu that
this, at least In a measure, was why it
was annexed to the city for "3500
bones."
However, after Its purchase. It was
found to be covered with beautiful
paint and varnish, and the heads of de
partments, after a council of war, de
elded upon no definite action, but
"passed the buck" to the august Board.
After due consideration, the members
arrived at the conclusion that the
motor was presumably bought to be
used and It was ordered, turned over
to Chief Engineer Clarke, who will. In
future, direct Its destinies. It will be
utilized for dispatching business in his
branch of the water department

OREGON CITT, Or., Sept 12. (Spe
cial.) In less than one-half hour $20,-
000, the money neoessary for oomplet
lng the grading and building the tres
ties between this city and Molalla, was
subscribed for stock In the Clackamas
Southern Railway Company at a mass
meeting held In the Commercial Club
.building today. It Is the Intention of
the directors to bond the road at once
for $350,000 to be used In laying the
track and buying the equipment for

by the stockholders at the meeting.
More than five miles of the grading
has been completed and the building of
the trestles at Fifteenth and Washing
ton streets, this city, and Newell Creek
will be begun within a week. These
will be the only trestles on the road,
the other depressions having been
filled. The length of the road Is 85
miles, and, It Is thought that the track

POPCORN PAYS FOR TRACT
Sale of 220,000 Bags at 5 Cents
Aids In $11,000 Investment.
J. w. Patlson, of Portland, known as
the "Pop Corn King," has Invested his
savings in an 87-acre tract in the Gar
field district In Clackamas County,
near Estacada, for which he paid $11,
000. The tract was owned by Stokes &
Wooster. The land Is partly set ont
to fruit 16 acres being In apples. It Is
Mr. Patlson's plan to plant more apple
trees at once.
If Mr. Patlson had depended entirely
on the sale of pop corn to acquire
money to buy this tract It Is figured
out that at five cents a bag it would
have required the disposition of 220,000
bags. If he had sold pop corn at the
rate of 500 bags a day. It would have
taken 440 days to have enough money
from this source to buy the place.

Exhibit of Livestock Worth
Coming From Far to See.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
SALEM,, Or., Sept 12. (Special) T
get into the fair grounds today I had
to get over the fence, so I dumb, clomh
or climbed over, with the assistance of
several friendly persons to give me a
push and some more to lend me a hand
to .alight; for you see I did not dare
pass through the tented city to the
main entrance. Mayor Toiler and hla
minions being there to intercept and
pernaps incarcerate me In the munlcl-
pal bastlle for contempt of his royal
dignity.
But I later sent an emissary,, a flair
of truce, as it were, to his honor and
then went out to meet him at the ex
ecutive mansion. I found him much
perturbed and very busy seeking the
municipal monkey wrench, which soma
miscreant had purloined In the previ
ous night for he needed the afore men
tioned article to wind the' town clock
of his bailiwick. After a long search
he found It In the possession of one
Herb Priest who has a tent In one of
the main thoroughfares; and the town
clock will be wound and In, the tented
city tonight curfew will ring, Mabel,
curfew will ring at the appointed hour.
I have passed the day looking over
tho wonderful exhibit of livestock, the
grandest aggregation of the kind ever
brought together on the Paclflo Coast
and it makes a fellow proud to view
It It Is such a grouping of the best
of sheep, horses, cattle, poultry and
swine as our. dear departed friend,
Mike Wisdom, dreamed of for the Port
land Livestock Show, a dream he did
not live to realize.
Cow Gives 40 Quarts of Milk.
Other columns will tell in due season
of the prizes won and the names of
the fortunate exhibitors. But some of
the animals are worthy of many
notloes. For Instance, there was a two-year-old
Holsteln heifer that yesterday
gave 10S pounds of milk, equal to 40
quarts, the Informant said, but If a
"pint's a pound the world around," the
amount would be more than 50 quarts.
Think of that as the yield from one
bossy," and only two years old!
And why does not the owner of this
or some other good milker try to work
a revelation in the dairy business by
feeding her on hops? Suppose the, re
sult would be to chance the product
Into a fair quality of beerl No longer
would the cry "back to the farm" be an
empty phrase there would be such a
rush to the agricultural regions as
never was thought of.
And other dairy cows of various
breeds, and calves and heifers not yet
In business for themselves such splen
did animals as to attract the attention
of hordes of buyers. And fat Btock,
beef cattle, some of them weighing
more than a ton; think of tha steaks
and roasts and stews from such ani
mals. Cattle of every color, from those
as white almost as snow, to others as
black as coal from smooth coats and
glossy to those with furry coats re
sembling a shaggy Shetland pony.
In the swine pens were such hogs as
are seldom seen, lots of them with
large families, and of all breeds
known. There were numerous speci
mens of the Hampshires, a black breed
with white belts or saddles. Berk
shires. JerBeys, Durocs and Just hogs.
There was one old fellow that was a
very mountain of flesh. I did not learn
Its weight but If you should lay tho
follow out on the Hawthorne bridge
you might pinch Its tail In Water
street to hear It squeal out about
Mount Tabor.
Incubator Chicks Bliss Fun.
Think of such a hog cut up and
cured into baconl At the price I pay
for bacon at the palatial cafeteria
where I take my sumptuous meals-
getting two slices resembling two
damaged two-cent postage stamps for
25 cents this hog would be worth
$4000.49; and 98 cents more could be
realized by selling the curled tall for
a corkscrew and canning the squeaL
Chickens I Great Scott! The immense
building devoted to the poultry in
dustry was running over with exhibits
of every variety of the hen family
known to this latitude. All washed and
combed and primped Into the very best
of show form and every one of them
eeming to be proud to attract so much
attention, seeming almost to realize
the high praise given them.
And incubators and brooders full of
fluffy, downy chicks, from one day to
a week or so old. How sorry I feel
for these incubator-brooder chicks.
Think of their reaching henhood and
roosterhood without ever knowing the
love of a mother. No one to seek out
the choice tid bits for their delectation.
