that he would rather go back to prison

Comra'ssloner Hand wavered bark
and forth In trying to decide Just what
he ought to do. It waa plain that hla
own Interpretation of hla duty as a
commissioner hearing evidence to sup
port a plea for pardon from a convict,
was thst ha should hear all witnesses
that presented themselves.
(MmMnrr II a ad Wavers.
So forceful and persUtent were the
arguments of Mr. Carmvdy and Mr.
Whitman against such a course, how
ever, thit Mr. Hand wavered at a time
when It seemed certain he was about
to rule in favor of Mr. Nlcoll and de
rided that tha matter was of such great
moment that he wo.i'.d not deride It
without first going over the situation
with Governor Dlz himself. He accord
ingly adjourned the hearing for a
week but It Is doubtful If there will
ever be arother hearing In the case.
Justl.e Gerard announced late this
afternoon that he haa completed his
derision on the writ of habeas corpus
sworn out for Brandt by Mr. Towns
ml that ha will hand It down tomor
row. Dla May Yet Grant Pardaa.
The Hand decision. It Is believed,
will sustain the writ. With It will
rome an end of any hearings on an
appeal for executlv clemency because
It will automatically place Brandt In
the position of a man under Indict
ment who haa never been tried and
therefore not a subject for the exer
cise of the Governor's pardoning power.
I'nlesa justice Gerard hands down
Ms declstoL esrly tomorrow, however,
there Is a chance that the Governor
will forstall Iflni by granting the full
pardon, although without the testi
mony of Mr. and Mrs. Schlff and Mr.
liana before hint, ha has nothing fur
ther on which to art than he had two
. weeks ago when he denied the appeal
for a commutation of sentence and
r -ale j the papers In the rase.
laalrr W ill Xot Be Drepped.
District Attorney Whitman has his
r'ins made for either contingency. If
writ is sustained by Justice Gerard.
Mr. Whitman wtll go before Judge
'.oral sky and move tha quashing of the
two Indictments against Brandt. One
of these la for burglary In the first de.
gree. th other for felonious assault.
If Governor Dix hands down a par
don for Brsndt before the writ Is de
cided, the prlsorer will Immediately be
set free. Mr. Whitman win take charge
of him. It ia said and will use him as a
witness In the grand Jury Inquiry Into
the charge that he vu the victim ef

Four trainmen are dead and Hoosae
Tunnel la blocked so effectively thst It
may be several days before the tracks

collision between a freight train and
Boston-bound express on the Boston

The passenger train waa not dam
aged seriously, with the exception of
the electric engine which waa drawing
It, but several cars of tha freight were
demolished and the wreckage took
fire.
Heat la Teasel Cracks Roef.
The heat in the portal waa so great
that portlona of tha tunnel roof were
cracked off and fell to tha tracks.
The dead are Archer L. Slmmonds
and Henry Gregg, engineer and assist
ant on the electrlo engine; Luther Da
vis, a "learner" on the motor, and
lieuben Kemp, flagman on tha freight
train.
The accident happened 1500 feet
from tha east portal of tha tunnel.
The freight train bad been stopped
near the farther end of tha four-mile
shaft and Kemp went back to warn the
express. He succeeded In stopping
the express and then got aboard the
engine, which proceeded cautiously to
ward the freight.
Freight Cars Catch Fire.
For some unexplained reason, pos-
ihly because tha brakes refused to
work, tha electric engine failed to stop

crash.
This waa followed by an electric dis
play and a burst of flames and then

SELLING DECIDES
TO OPPOSE BOURNE
Portland Man Heeds
Pleas of Voters.
THOUSANDS PLEDGE SUPPORT
Candidate Is to Resign From
Taft Body to Campaign.
PLATFORM READY SOON
Oregon Lawmaker Receiving nat
tering Response From Citizens
Over All State Makes Vp Mind
to Seek Congress Post.
Responding to a state-wide demand,
Ben Selling, Stato Senator from Mult
nomah County and for 40 years a busi
ness man of Portland, announced yes
terday that he would be a candidate for
United States Senator to succeed Jona
than Bourne. Mr. Selling will retire
Immediately, not only as chairman but
as a member of the Portland Taft com
mittee and will devote his personal at
tention to his Senatorial candidacy. In
a few days, Mr. Selling will Issue a
formal statement of the principles on
which he seeks the office of Senator.
Entrance of Mr. Selling into the Sen
atorial contest Is the result of Im
portant developments In the Repub
lican politics of the stats in the last
month. From all sections of the state
came & demand from the party voters
for a candidate who could represent the
state and Its great and growing Inter
ests at Washington properly.
Several Decline to Run.
A number of prominent Republicans
were approached and urged to become
candidates, but they declined. Friends
of C. W. Fulton, ex-United States Sena
tor, pleaded with him to oppose Bourne,
but after mature deliberation he de
clined to become a candidate. In doing
so, he Issued a statement, expressing
the belief that he did not consider
himself the most available man for the
office and for that reason did not desire
In any way to Jeopardize the interests
of the Republican party and the people
of the state by contesting for the nom
ination. Democratic friends of John M. Gearin,
also ex-United States Senator, urged
him to seek his party's nomination, in
the belief that he was not only emi
nently qualified to represent the state
in the Senate, but that he would be
able to defeat Bourne should the senior
Republican Senator be successful In
the Republican primaries. Mr. Gearin
also decided adversely and would not
qualify as a candidate.
Whole State I'rgca Selling.
With the elimination of Mr. Fulton
and Mr. Gearin as possibilities, those
seeking the retirement of Mr. Bourne
directed additional pressure on Mr.
Selling, who late yesterday concluded
to comply with their requests. More
than a month ago Mr. Selling was be
sieged by personal friends from over
all the state to become a candidate
against Mr. Bourne and, although he
took the subject under serious consid
eration, It was not until yesterday
that the Insistence of the demands be
came so imperative that they could no
longer be resisted.
When these personal appeals, which
could only be numbered in the hun
dreds, became so numerous, Mr. Selling
three weeks ago concluded before
reaching a decision to ascertain to his
own satisfaction ana nrst-nana irom
the voters, the extent to which the
demand for his candidacy existed. Ac
cordingly he mailed a circular letter
to every registered Republican voter
in the state, requesting an expression
as to whether he should contest with
Bourne for the Senatorahip.
Responae Ia Flattering.
The response from these circular let
ters was surprising both to Mr. Sell
ing and his friends. They were a
flattering tribute to the Portland man
and the high regard in which he is
held throughout the state, both as a
progressive Republican and a business
man, whose integrity is and always
has been unquestioned. In all Mr.
Selling received between 11,000 and
12,000 replies. Others are continuing
to arrive at the rate of from 500 to 600
a day. Of those 86 per cent of the
authors urged Mr. Selling to enter the
contest and pledged hint their active
and enthusiastic support.
Bourne Cienerally Disliked.
The letters almost uniformly ex
pressed dissatisfaction with Mr. Bourne.
Between 3000 and 4000 of the Repub
licans .writing declared emphatically
they- would support a Democrat tn the
election in preference to Bourne, if the
senior Senator should receive the Re-
I publican nomination. The sentiment
! nmst generally expressed was an aver
sion to having longer a "non-resident,
non-taxpaying" Senator from this state.
Those registering their opposition to
Mr. Bourne were just as pronounced In
their declaration that they would sup
port a "progressive" Republican to suc
ceed him, and for that reason urged
Mr. Selling to get into the contest.
"Oregon today is represented at
Washington by two Senator., one a Re
publican and the other a Democrat."
said Mr. Selling, last night. "The pros-
