THE MORNIXG OREGON! AX, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1913 18 !IY IVSILUQNAIRES Tl IS TOLD Confessions Made by Bull Moose. Mannates Before . Senate Explained. PARTY BUYING CHARGED . Chairman Slbores, of Republicans, Analyzes for Voters Keal Motive Behind Flinn-Ferkins-Mun-sey Enthusiasm. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 4. (To the Ed itor.) Voters of Oregon who would . know the real inspiration of the Bull I Moose crusade against the Admlnistra- tlon will find rich material tn the tes ? timony now being- brought into the ; limelight by the Senatorial investigat- ing committee. The charge that al most fabulous sums had been spent in carrying the Spring primaries for : Roosevelt was resented with hot in ' dlgnatlon, and a credulous public was told that $160,000 would cover the en tire expense. The testimony of Flinn and Hooker already shows that several times that amount was expended, and "it is probable that the greater portion of the actual expense never will be uncovered. The most shameful feature of the whole affair is that the proven source of nearly all the contributions shows . that the crusade has its whole inspira ' tion in the desire for revenge on the part of corrupt politicians and law violating trust magnates, who have ' been called to account by a President j who has insisted upon impartial en ( forcement of the law against criminals j of high as well as of criminals of I low degree. S Political Bosses Confess. ' ' The three most conspicuous leaders ' of the Roosevelt campaign are Munsey, r Perkins and Flinn. There never was a more prolific breeding-ground for ' rotten politics than the State of Penn- sylvan la, and of all the spawn of that I breeding-ground there never was a rot tener specimen than the notorious Bill . Flinn, the political boss of Pittsburg. - It has been repeatedly charged that -through his position as the boss of j Pittsburg the firm of Flinn & Bootn had profited througn municipal con tracts to an amount estimated to equal at least J17.000.000. The type of man he is appears from the confessions he has been making this week to the Senatorial Investigating committee. He admits drawing a contract in January, 1S9C, dividing the local and Federal patronage of Pennsylvania between 1.1 -.1. A r ft Rpnirn anil Hon A OT ', Quay, and boasts that in doing so ; he was giving senator . k brick." Charged with having, in a tel . egram dated June 7, 1904. asked the s Standard Oil Company to support him 5 for the United States Senatorship, he : shifts the responsibility upon the shoul '' ders of J. G. Splain, who "thinks" he 'may have signed the telegram wlth out Flinn's authority, re Flinn admits, however, that when he i employed Splain he knew "he had 3 worked for the Standard Oil Co.. and "J j told him to go ahead In his own way. 1 Flinn also testifies that years ago he spent tllO.OOO to win certain offices i drawing salaries of only $70,000. We i are left to infer he was to get his mon i ey back in political contracts. Ho ( admits that he has contributed 144. f 30S to the recent campaigns in Penn i' eylvanla, of which he speaks of 10B.- 000 being the amount of his Roosevelt t subscription. He further admits that ' per cent of the Roosevelt fund in ' Pennsylvania was contributed by him r personally. All of this contribution, we i are told, was in the interest of civic t purity and progressive Republicanism. other Sams Revealed. E. H. Hooker, the treasurer of the National Bull Moose committee, testl ' fles that $141,657.44 was spent in what : he calls the Roosevelt National cam ' paign. This does not cover the various state campaign expenditures, which -in New York alone he admits was $52, 606.52. Dixon, on Tuesday, says he spent $96,000. besides the $141,657 testified to by Hooker, which was exclusive of ' $162,000 handled by Hooker in the New York campaign, and the $102,000 . contributed by Flinn for the Pennsyl vania campaign. This probably does not begin to cover the amount spent In these two states, and no reckoning at all is made of the enormous sums ' spent In other state campaigns. The personal contributions, besides . - iuiiab mnti-ihiitpri1 hv Flinn. Include large sums amounting in the aggregate apparently to at ! 000 from the PInchot family, including $25,000 from Gitford and Amos and apparently as much more from William Eno. a "relative of theirs"; Mrs. An toinette Wood, "an aunt." and "a rich ' uncle," who is said to be the largest contributor. The personal grievance of the PInchot family "is well under stood. Perkins is credited with $16,000 given to the New York campaign and $23 600 to the National campaign. Mun- 1-sey" gives $15,000 to New York and $19, 000 to National campaign, and Dan R. . Ilanna gives $25,000 to the National ' campaign.

The earn ' ' est desire of Mr. Perkins to secure this ' leeislaUon ia what is making him such BACK a liberal contributor to the Bull Moose campaign fund. Taft's prosecution of the steel and harvester trusts, in which he is a stockholder, and Teddy's re fusal to prosecute the harvester trust, and his assent to the absorption by the steel trust of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company, has nothing to, do with it, and nobody but a base-born stand patter or a reactionary of the most shameless type would dare to insinuate otherwise. . - Manser's Interest Explained. ... o hoai nf ihit mazazine . . v mfiitnnalA nwner of a half dozen metropolitan newspapers.

To complete her wheat cargo for Europe, the Norwegian steamer Rygja shifted yesterday afternoon from Al blna dock to the North Bank dock. The steamer No Wonder, of the Shaver fleet. which assisted the tramp, was com manded by Captain James Shaver, with Captain George Shaver as pilot and the regular skipper as mate, while there were three engineers standing by. The deck crew was made up of the office force, because the vessel has been out of commission for a short time. Repairs being ended aboard the American ship St. Nicholas, of the Alaska salmon fleet, she will leave down from the public drydock this morning in tow of the steamer Mon arch, bound for Astoria to go Into Winter quarters. : News has been received that Com mander C.

His new berth is regarded tne best at Bremerton, with the exception of that held by Admiral Cottman.

Ita IJ.atnr. fiT-AnT-OOf building at Park and Oak streets, W. "W. Lucius, engineer for the Pacific Telepnone & Telegraph Company, appeared before the health and police committee of the City Council yesterday. The committee heard arguments fot and against the narmlt and sent the Question to the Council for a decision. Building Inspector Plummer will not issue a permit for the building because of the fact, as he says, that the con tractors demand to construct It on the Chew system, never before used here, and that they further demand to use their own figures on stress and safety, of which he and his engineers do not think favorably. Gates Would Be Open to All. "I do not argue," said Mr. Plummer, "that, if they build the structure their way, it will fall down. I am saying, however, that it is proceeding on a basis that, sooner or later, is bound to bring trouble. They can all show you that their plans are safe; that they are building this or that way elsewhere, but you will recall the case of the Quebec bridge. It was constructed by . wh. than w. nrftlwlllv the LOOSt noted engineer in the world; but he stretched his process oi saiety con struction too far and the bridge fell. Another thing, If you repeal a code section to let the Chew system come in and work as it sees fit, you will have all of the others, and I do not see how you can deny them the right. I do no thinq you Bhould proceed on this thing without considerable study." Engineer Lucius said that the Chew system is working in other cities as it is proposed to be worked here, and that it has met with no trouble else where. He declared that It is perfectly safe.

Councilman Watklns was willing to grant the per mit and Councilman Magulre was con tent to let the subject go to the Council for decision. Martin Winch will be given a permit to build another story on his apartment-house at Fourteenth and Market streets. In all probability, as the com mittee voted to recommend It. Inspec tor Plummer also opposed this move. GRANGE INDORSES MOVE Bine Mountain Folk Want Majority of Voters to Have Voice. LA GRANDE, Or., Oct: 4. (Special.)

Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, - but - many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Fol lowing right upon this comes the ner vous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth .under the right conditions need be no hazard to neaitn or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an un prepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E-Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, a most valuable tonic and invig- orator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong. If yon want special advice Tfrite to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confl. dential) Lynn. Mags. Tout letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held la strict confidence.
