Documents and Salary.
Walter H. Evan. Deputy United
States District Attorner. yesterday
afternoon declined acceptance of Gov
ernor West's appointment to succeed
George J. Cameron. Riving as his rea
son the urgent business demands of the
office he. now occupies. The Governor
has refused to announce any alterna
tive appointment, although he contin
ues to assert that Cameron is no long
er District Attorney, and although he
intimates he has under consideration
names of possible appointees. In the
meantime, he holds on file the commis
sion drawn up for Mr. Evans, saying
that, while the present situation makes
it impossible for Mr. Evans to accept,
he has not yet abandoned hope that he
may at a later date find it possible to
assume the position.
Independent of the effort to secure a
successor to Mr. Cameron, the Gover-
nor has announced that today he will
go before the court, asking that a spe
cial prosecutor be appointed to investi
gate' the office of the District Attor
ney, on charges of delinquency. The
Governor said that he would suggest
for this appointment, H. M. Esterly. of
this city, but that the court, at its own
discretion, may make such other selec
tion as It may see fit.
Sheriff Field Invaded.
The Governor has commissioned Tom
Word, ex-Sheriff of Multnomah Coun
ty, to act as a special deputy to secure
evidence for the grand Jury In the
cases arising in the clean-up campaign.
Governor West announced last night
that Mr. Word had agreed to accept
the commission, whiia Mr. Word, ques
tioned later, was non-coaimlttal, say
ing that he had not yet received the
formal commission.
"I can make no statement until the
commission reaches me." he said.
"However, everything will be all
right."
Mr. Word's appointment, according
to the Governor, la not to supplant the
Sheriff, but his powers will be co-ordinate
with those of the Sheriff and
his work will be entirely independent.
"The Sheriff himself will be notified
daily of the duties of his office and
the penalties will he pointed out that
may attach to his failure to perform
his duty." said Governor West last
night.- "From time to time I shall
point out to him nuisances that exist,
which It Is his duty to suppress, and
after that It will be up to him to at-
tend to them. If he doesn't, there will
be time enough for the next step by
roe. There are several statutes under
which the rase can be handled.
Sheriff's Policy I nrbanged.
Sheriff Stevens-renewed his state
ment that the policy of his office will
stand, pointing out clearly that he was
neither opposing law enforcement nor
inclined to refuse co-operation in ef
forts to enforce the law. so far as it
came within the sphere of his Juris
diction. "The policy of the Sheriffs offii-e Is
still unchanged." he said. "It will re
main unchanged until the end of my
term. According to newspaper re
ports, the accuracy, of which have not
yet been questioned, the Mayor has
tendered and the Governor has ac
cepted the services of 290 -policemen
to aid him in his crusade In the city.
If these 290 men so kindly offered by
the Mayor, who has unlimited power
in municipal matters, and accepted by
the Governor, are unable to cope with
all of the law breakers. It will still be
unnecessary to order out the militia.
The Sheriffs office In the future, as
in the past, will enforce all laws with
strict Impartiality, concurrently with
the police force, if possible, but Inde
pendent of them If necessary, and It
will not make the slightest difference
whether the complaint is made . by
plain citizens and taxpayers or Gov
ernor West, or any other politician.
Territory Scope Questioned.
"The sincerity of the Governor can
hard!' be questioned if he shows prac
tical faith in tne good intentions of
Mayor Rushlight by first using- the 290
men whom the taxpayers employ to
keep order In the city before he tries
other methods. However, I am perfect
ly willing to take up the matter if the
Rushlight-West forces, with their 290
men, are unable to handle it. The only
real point on -which the Governor and
myself seem to differ Is in the scope
of territory involved. In beseeching one
of the best vote-getters in Portland to
Join him in his crusade the Governor
Is quoted as saying. "I'm for you
through hell.- This is- beyond my Juris,
diction, which at present Is confined to
Multnomah County.".
The Sheriffs office, however, appears
unlikely soon to become the center of
activity in the Governor's movement,
I which, according to his own statement
list night, will be directed for the
present chiefly toward the matter of a
prosecutor and necessarily will be dl

Grand Jury Has Some.
Big bunches of easy money are
knocking about in desks in various
parts of the city. With no one to claim
them. The police have some, and the
grand Jury and the District Attorney
have the rest. Three distinct prob

largely advertised and Detectives
Vaughn and Litherland spent a large
part of yesterday seeking a lawful
owner, the money has not been
claimed.

ON BOARD PRESIDENT TAFT'S
TRAIN, Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 28.
President Taft tonight rescinded a 12-hour-old
order directing the immediate
dispatch from Panama to Nicaragua of
the Tenth Infantry. From his private
car In the Rochester yards the Presi
dent telegraphed to the acting Secre
tory of War to recall the order.
A sufficient force of marines, the
President said tonight, would be in
Managua, the Nlcaraguan capital, and
Corinto, Its principal seaport, early
next week to insure the safety of
American lives and property.
Rebels Fromlm to Open Railways.
The President's action tonight came
at the close of a day spent largely in
reading telegrams from State. War and
Navy Department heads in Washing
ton. The President expressed tonight
to friends on his car the belief that
there would be more than 2000 United
States marines on Nlcaraguan soil by
Tuesday. A long telegram tonight
from the commander of the United
States 'gunboat Annapolis in Nlc
araguan waters said the insurgent
leaders had given assurances that they
would open the lines of communica
tion from Corinto to Managua.
The Nlcaraguan government asked
for assurance from the United States
and stands ready to aid in opening the
railway line to the coast from the
capital.
Locomotives Kvealy Divided.
The message to the President said
the rebels possess five locomotives and
the government Ave. All ten of these
may be put at the disposal of the
United States, if necessary. The recall
of the order for the dispatch of the
Tenth Infantry followed the receipt of
this telegram from the commander of
the Annapolis.
The President did not conceal his
anxiety tonight over conditions in
Central America. In Managua and
Corinto and other towns the situation
is not especially dangerous to, Ameri
cans, but in other parts of the country
pillaging of all sorts has been going
on. The people- of Nicaragua, the
President was informed, are suffering
untold horrors, and Americans are

Realty Man Says He Had Too Much
AVine to Know AA'hat He AVas
Doing AVbcn AVlth Actress.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) Gustav Ehrlick, wealthy real
estate operator, has a Hard luck tale
whereby he says he Is the loser to
the extent of three promissory notes
for 85,000 which he declares he was
induced to sign after a riotous Sunday
evening with a pretty blonde chorus
girl. These notes are all made payable
to Miss Irene Cooper, the blonde, and
because he was thrown down stairs
from Miss Cooper's apartment Ehrlick
now wants payment on the notes
stopped.
Ehrlick tells a story of taking Miss
Cooper by automobile to the beach re
sorts, drinking far too much wine, of
being overcome by her sad tale, and
then of returning with her to her
apartment in the Glencoe from which
he was ejected down a flight of stairs
at 9 o'clock Monday morning. These
facts are all brought out in a suit filed
by Ehrlick in Superior Court today.
Ehrlick, who Is reputed to be worth
8250,000, is a member of a big San
Francisco real estate firm.
Maud Irene Cooper Is a vaudeville
actress and concert singer, widely
known in the San Francisco cafes for
her beauty and fine clothes.
Ehrlick obtained from Judge George
A. Sturtevant a temporary injunction
preventing his erstwhile inamorata
from negotiating the notes. He charges
his signatures were obtained about 2
o'clock Monday morning by fraud
while he was drunk and did not realize
what he was doing. After a tour of
the beach resorts Ehrlick found him
self at Miss Cooper's apartment. Soon
after signing the notes he was told by
Miss Cooper to get out of her place. He
demurred. They had been so friendly
during the afternoon and evening that
he did not wish to part that way.
Almost immediately, he also remem
bers, there appeared in the doorway of
the woman's apartment a giant.
Ehrlick was rolled and tumbled
down the stairways and landed at the
bottom on his head.
LOW RATE TOJE DROPPED
Two of Pacific Coast Lines AVould
Discontinue Homeseekcrs' Fares.
CHICAGO, Aug. 28. (Special.) A
plan is being considered by the Cali
fornia terminal railroads to abolish
homeseekers' fares to points in that
state which have been In effect every
first and third Tuesday of every month
from Chicago and other cities since
laet Spring.
The roads Involved are the Southern
Pacific, Santa Fe and Western Pacific,
Under an arrangement perfected last
Spring, a homeseekers' round trip fare
of 865 was offered from Chicago and a
similar fare of $55 from Missouri River
points. Both the Santa Fe and South
ern Pacific, it is understood, are de
sirous of discontinuing the arrange
ment after the end of the present year,
which was designated in the under
standing reached last Spring as the
time limit for offering these low rates.
On the other hand, the Western
Pacific is urging that the fares be con
tinued in effect indefinitely. Officials
of the three roads now have the sub
ject under advisement.

Exporter Drives Coup

DAYTON POOL IS PURCHASED
90 Per Cent Brew Product In
This Section Involved.
SHORTS PANIC - STRICKEN
European Buyers Likely to Get En
tire Quantity Bought at $1.25 a
Hundred From Farmers.
250,000 Bags Involved.
One of the largest grain deals ever
put through in the Pacific Northwest
came to light yesterday. By the pur
chase of the Dayton barley pool, M. II.
Houscr, the exporter, of this city, prac
tically secured a corner on sll the
brewing barley produced in this part
of the country, Mr. Houser accomp
lished a similar feat last year and Is
credited with cleaning up a quarter of
a million dollars by the operation.
Last year he sold his barley in the
East. This year he will export it.
The 1912 barley pool at Dayton con
tained about 125,000 sacks of brewing
grad- barley. For this Mr. Houser
paid the farmers f 1.25 a hundred,
which Is the highest price paid for
barley for export purpose in many
years. At the close of last week the
Houser agents in the Dayton country
bought up all the individual lots of
choice barley to be had, aggregating
more than 125,000 bags. The total pur
chase of more than 250,000 bags netted
the barley farmers of that section in
excess of $300,000.
Kuropr Likely Urts All.'
It is estimated by grain men that 90
per cent, of the brewing barley In the
Dayton. Waitsburg and Pomeroy sec
tions has now passed Into the hands.of
Mr. Houser, who has also bought this
quality in other districts.
It is probable that nearly all his
purchases will go to Europe. The
barley crop abroad has suffered serious
damage by recent unfavorable weather
and European buyers are bidding
keenly -for supplies here. It now looks
as if they will have to come to Mr.
Houser for what they want. The
Europeans are only seeking the best
brewing grade.
With this quality now nearly all out
of first hands, the excitement sub
sided yesterday in the interior barley
markets. A considerable quantity of
weather damaged grain remains un
sold, but there is little demand, as yet,
for this. The Inferior grade barley
will be used for feed purposes in the
domestic markets.
Short Psnle Stricken.
There was a rather large barley
short Interest In the Northwest this
year, and the shorts, naturally, were
panic stricken when Houser's exten
sive buying operations became known.
The attempts to cover added to the ex
citement in the big barley growing
districts of Eastern Washington.
Mr. Houser has by no means confined
his attention to barley, as he has ad
vanced this year to the position of the
largest wheat exporter on the Pacific
Coast, and probably in the United
States. Of the 35 ships and steamers
chartered so far this season to load
grain was not damaged by the recent
engaged by him. It ito stated by com
petent authorities that Houser has
bought one-halt of nil the wheat that
the farmers of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho have sold so far this season.
As with the coarser cereal. Houscr has
pursued the policy or buying only
choice grade. There Is a strong de
mand on the other side for firm, sound
wheat, and this was bought in the
early producing districts where the
grain at Portland, some 23 have been
stormy weather.
Ilounrr Has Advantage.
With a liberal supply of low priced
ships, which were, for the most part,
chartered early in the season before
the shipowners raised the rates,
Houser had a material advantage over
some of the other grain men when It
came to buying wheat. He has been
accused by some of his competitors of
plunging, but since he has the grain
and tonnage in hand and there is a
strong eager market for American
wheat in Europe, where the crops are
not good, there appears to be plenty of
method In his operations.
The country wheat markets yester
day were very active, and whenever
the farmers were ready to soli they
found plenty of buyers.
Prices were a cent higher than on
Tuesday and were about 6 cents a
bushel higher than 10 days ago.
NEW CARDINAL PROMISED
Appointee to Be American, but Re-
side in Home, Is Report.
PARIS, Aug. 28. The Pope is about
to create a new American cardinal who
is to reside In Rome, according to a
special dispatch' received here.
The American cardinal will occupy
a similar position, that of the prelates
representing France and Spain In
Rome. It Is also said that the Pope
will later create a cardinal, probably
in Mexico
