Alexander entered pleaa of not guilty before Presiding Judge Catena yesterday to Indictments charg ing him with obtaining money from ih. Ktatea National and Lom- bermens National Banks by means of ' forged 0.-W. K. A N. Company voucn era. The pleas followed the action of Judge Gatens In overruling demurrers to the Indictments Interposed by Dan R Murphy, the defendant's attorney. District Attorney Cameron was as sisted In arguing against the demurrers by A. C Spencer, of counsel for the railway company. Attorney Murphy argued that. Inasmuch as the vouch ers read that they were payable at the banks only on being dated and signed by the persons In whose favor made out. the fact that they were not dated should have been warning to the banks not to advance the money on them. He ; urged that, lacking this dating, tne HARMON MAN CALLS John F. Bible, Once Near-Mate of Bryan, Sounds Field. WILSON IS NOT LIKED JIRED AKRWAW WO WAX.

Wagon Manufacturer, of Kentucky and Michigan, Denies That Ohio Democrat Is Allied With Wall Street Interests. John F. Bible, wagon manufacturer, of Kentucky and Michigan, five times Mayor of Ionia, Mich., and at one time prominently mentioned as a running mate for William J. Bryan, has been In the city for several days on business with a boom for Governor Harmon for the Democratic Presidential nomina tion as a side line. "I am not the authorized represent ative of Mr. Harmon, but a personal friend, having weekly letters from him, and promised to keep him Informed of the political condition of the different sections during my travels, that have recently extended over several states In the West." said Mr. Bible at the Portland Hotel last night. "The last time I talked with blm he consented to permit me to tell one incident about him of which I was personally cogni zant and I believe that the time Is now ripe to tell It, as he is accused of being the candidate of Wall street and under Its Influences. Revival of Road Recounted. "While I was Mayor of Ionia. July Z0, 1907. there was a wreck on the Pere Marquette Railroad in which 31 were killed and 1S3 Injured, all resi dents of Ionia and riding on passes at the time. Governor Harmon was re ceiver of the road that had been forced Into Insolvency for stock-Jobbing pur poses. Every one of these cases was settled without litigation and it Is a record for such classes of cases. The I'ere Marquette road was a distinct Michigan enterprise and Ita existence was of vital interest to the state. He succeeded in paring off all Its debts and turning It back to the stockholders without any loss and today Its stock Is worth more than ever before. During this reconstruction of the road I knew personally that he thwarted an at tempted steal of 110.000.000 of terminal bonds by Wall street Interests. W'llioa la Disliked. "After touring the country and mak ing a careful study of the situation I am convinced that Harmon will re ceive the Democratic nomination. While an intimate friend of Mr. Bryan and have been hla follower for years, I cannot follow him to Woodrow Wil son, as I feel toward him the same aa Henry Watterson does. The best Inter ests of the country would be safe with Harmon as no interest can control him. financial or otherwise." STUDY OF ALL BILLS URGED L. R. Webster Talks of Dangers In Initiative Measures. "Study the bills to be presented for your decision at the next election until you understand them, or don't vote on them." waa the urgent request made br L. R. Webster, of Portland, in his address to the postal employes at the Unitarian chapel last night, entitled The New Citizenship: Its Duties and Possibilities." Mr. Webster asked all present to re call the different measures which they had voted upon at the last election and to ask themselves how many they had understood, savlnar that he did not be- i lieve that more than 20 per cent of the voters understood more than o percent of the bills. He mentioned the catch sentences placed in bills to cover up their mean ings and to put them through. He asked that the single tax bill be studied carefully and said that he hoped that the two bills providing for outside la bor for convicts would not become laws. He asserted that In his Judg ment woman's suffrage would be grant ed at the next election and concluded with an appeal to the voters to see that the laws they enact are enforced. Mr. Webster waa preceded by H. W. Stone, general secretary of the Portland Toung Men's Christian Asso ciation, whu delivered a brief lecture on the T. M. C. A. growth on both sides of the Pacific and In the Canal Zone, under the title of "Altruistic Work for Men on Two Sides of the Paclnc." Illustrations showed the modern buildings of learning which are being built in China. Mr. Stone commented on the change from "gentlemanly leis . ure" in China to outdoor sports, as he referred to the field sports held In Tien ' Tsln last year. He said that a Chrls ' tian had been elected President of China and great thtnus would result. FAT ELKS SHARP RIVALS Portland "Kill" and AValla Walla Man After $25 Prize. Keen rivalry has arisen between F. S. Ratltff. of Portland, and Jacob : Kauffman, of Walla Walla, over their respective qualifications to be called "the brggeat Elk in the United States." The question will be determined once and for all when the Elks meet in Portland next July as the fattest Elk appearing In the parade will be awarded a $25 cash prize. Both Ratltff and Kauffman have entered the con MnA will annir In the narade. Meanwhile they are engaging in a heated controversy by correspondence.

Kauffman has gone into regular training under the direction of Fred Hedger, secretary of the Walla Walla lodge, who replied to Ratllff yesterday partially as follows: "I have heard of you and know of your bigness. But. really, now, are you entirely fair In seeking from us the supposed limits of our candidate for great honors that you may use this knowledge for your own selfish pur poses? Let me tell you that you will have to do more than 'drink copiously of water and eat five times a day as you intimate you Intend doing to beat our gTeat and only 'Jake.' Has It oc curred to you that the advertised weight of 'Jake' may not be correct and that we are using diplomacy and finesse to win the prise for our big man. I won't mention that if I have you bluffed this letter will not be written In vain." Garland Would Be Justice. Charles W.

Evidence of interest in the dairy Industry In Central Oregon is shown by applications to the State Dairy and Food Commissioner yesterday for state-brand wrappers by three cream eries recently opened at Bend and Red mond. The Prineville Creamery has also announced that it will establish a branch at Bend. Further encourage ment to prospective dairymen is the announcement that the bank at Bend intends to obtain a herd of cows to be re-sold to settlers on terms. "The establishment of three new creameries in the Bend country will be gratifying news to all men who are interested in the development of the dairy industry In Oregon." said Deputy Commissioner Judd yesterday. "There are undoubtedly many sections of Cen tral Oregon where dairying can be carried on as profitably as it is in the Willamette Valley. It is unfor tunate that this industry has not been carried on there long ago. Now that the dairymen have awakened to their opportunities it is to be hoped they will enter upon the work Intelligently and energetically.
