Anderson, a mtlionaire tobacco manufacturer, the Governor said: "Curtis is a notoriety seeker. He is now the tool of the political con spirators who are trying to ruin me because I refuse to do their bidding and respond to their demands. I shall give Curtis Jo more notoriety and will decline in the future to gratify his vanity for publicity by denyina? his libelous charges." KIDNAPING CASE BEGINS Man on Trial at Klamath Falls for Trip AVith 1 4-Vear-Old Girl. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., June 23. (Special.) On a charge of kidnaping Harriet Fink, aged 14, a man named Ferris is being trie-d here. The girl involved in the case was the first witness for the state. Fhe gave much the same testimony as did Ferris when he was returned last Summer from California, where h had. taken the girl. Ferris explained -that on learning of her dissatisfaction at home and her wish to leave and make her own living, he had accompanied the girl, advising hfr to go to a small town, explaining it would be safer for a young girl than would a large city. The pair went to TJorrts. Cal. Ferris is an aged man and conducted a carpenter shop near the Fink home here until his departure with the girl. The girl's mother is a widow and has one other daughter, younger than the girl involved. Mrs. Fink owns con siderable unimproved land, but since the death of her husband has been com. pelled to work hard to support her self and children. BABY SEA LION CAPTURED Dan J.

EARLY LEGISLATION URGED Representative Mann Sajs Message Is "Example of Classical English, but Nothing More' '--Opposition by Minority Presaged. (Continued From First Page.) sage was a .tine "example of classical English, but there is nothing more toi It, unless it be considered as a threat that patronage would be withheld until a banking and currency bill was passed." Representative Mann criticised the, bill as "stolen from the Aldrich mone tary report with a few radical provi sions taken from the Bryan platform! mixed in." "The President came before Congress like a schoolmaster before fourth-grade schoolchildren and told the members to bo good," said the Mann statement, "but he did not dare analyze what goodness in this case consists of. AVhile Con gress has had no help from the Presi dent's message on banking and cur rency matters and has received no en lightenment or suggestion of ideas from the President, still I do not wish to judge in advance the proposed bill, because of lack of intelligent presenta tion by the President. Bill Held to Be Portlxan. "It is evident that the measure is to be considered a Democratic partisan bill, but even o if it will advance the interest of thev country, the Republi cans will support it, but if it threatens to go still further than the tariff bill in breaking down the prosperity of the last few years, then we cannot support it, but will try to amend it. The one thing that we will not stand for is partisan political control of banks or the issuance of currency." On the Senate side many Republi cans were of the opinion that the Presi dent's message was a flat declaration Congress must act at once on the cur rency question. They believe it sets forth the President's position as being so positive on that point that he would call another extra session of Congress if necessary to dispose of the matter. House Caucus Called. Although a House caucus has been called for this week, it is probable that it will not take any definite action on the currency bill. The message read by the President follows: "It is under ths compulsion of what seems to me a clear and imperative duty that I have a second time this session sought the privilege of ad dressing you in person. I know, of course, that the heated season of the year is upon us, that work in these chambers and in the committee rooms is likely to become a burden as the season lengthens, and that every con sideration of personal convenience and personal comfort, perhaps in the cases of some of us, consideration of per sonal health, even dictate an early conclusion of the deliberations of the session; but there are occasions of public duty when these things which toucli us privately seem very small; when the work to be done is so press ing and so fraught with big conse quences that we know that we are not at liberty to weigh against It any point of personal sacrifice. We are now in the presence of such an occa sion. It id absolutely imperative that we should give the business men or this country a banking and currency system by means of which they can make use of the freedom of enterprise and of individual initiative ' which we are about to bestow upon them. Readjustment In Store.. "We are about to set them, free; we must not leave them without the tools of action ,when they are free. We are about to set them free by removing the trammels of the protective taritf. Kver since the Civil War they have waited for this emancipation and for the fre opportunities it will bring with it. It has been reserved for us to give it to them. Some fell in love, indeed, with the slothful security ol their dependence upon the Govern SULZER. ment; some took advantage of the shelter of the nursery to set up a mimic mastery of their own within its walls. Now both the tonic and the discipline of liberty and maturity are to ensue. There will be some read justments of purpose and point of view. There will follow a period ot expansion and new enterprise, freshly conceived. It is for us to determine now whether it shall .be rapid and facile and of easy accomplishment. This it cannot be unless the resource ful business men who are to deal with the new circumstances are to have at hand and ready for use the instru mentalities - and conveniences of free enterprise which Independent men need when acting on their own in itiative. ' Proper Credit I ed. "It is not enough to strike the shackles .from business. The duty of statesmanship is not negative merely. It is constructive also. We must show that we understand what business needs and that we know how to sim ply it. No man, however casual and superficial his observation of the con ditions now prevailing in the countrv. can fail to see that one of the chief things business needs now and will need increasingly as it gains in scope and in vigor in the years immediately ahead of us, is the proper means by icauiiy io vitalize its credit, corporate and individual, an its orisri- native brains. What will It nroflt ue tn be free if we are not to have the best tna most accessible instrumentalities of commerce and entflmriA who win it profit us to be quit of one kind of monopoly if we are to remain in the srip or anotner and more effective kind? How are we to gain and keep the confidence of the business com munity unless we show that we know how both to aid and to protect it? What shall we say if we mak fresh enterprise necessary and also make it .very auricuit by leaving all else ex cept the tariff just as we found it? j tyrannies of business, hltr little, lie within the field of credit. We Know tnat. shall we not act upon the knowledge? Do we not know how to act upon it? Tf a man cannot make his assets available at pleasure, his assets of capacity and character and of resource, what satisfaction is it to him to see opportunity beckoning to him on every hand, when others have the keys of credit in their pockets and treat them as all but their own pri vate possessions? It is perfectly clear that It is our duty to supply the new banking and currency system the coun try needs, and that it will immedi ately need It more than ever. Early. Action I'rged. "The only question is. When shall we supply it now or later after the de mands shall -have become reproaches that we were so dull and so slow' fchall we hasten to change the tariff laws and then be laggards about mak ing it possible and easy for the coun try to take advantage of the change? There can be only one answer to that question. We must act now, at what ever sacrifice to ourselves. It is a duty which the; circumstances forbid us to postpone. I should be recreant to my deepest convictions of public ob ligation did I not, press it upon you with solemn and urgent insistence "The principles upon whiob we should act are also clear. The country has sought and seen its path in this mat ter within the last few years sees it more clearly now than It ever saw It before much more clearly than when the last legislative proposals on the subject were- made. We must have a currency, not rigid as now, but readily elastically responsive to sound credit! the expanding and contracting credits of every-day transactions, the normal ebb and flow of personal and corporate dealing. Our banking laws must mo bilize reserves; must not permit the concentration anywhere In a few hands of the monetary resources of the coun try or their use for speculative pur poses in such volume as to hinder or impede or stand in the way of other more legitimate and more fruitful uses And the control of the system of bank ing which our new laws are to set up must be public, not private; must be vested in the Government itself, so that the banks may be the instruments net the masters, of business and of "Individual enterprise and initiative. Committees Heady to Report. "The committees of th Congress, to which legislation of this character is referred, have devoted careful and dis passionate study to the means of ac complishing these objects. They have honored me by consulting me. They are ready to suggest action. I have come to you, as the head of the Gov ernment and the responsible leader of the party in power, to urge action now, while there is time to serve the coun try deliberately and as we should in a clear air of common counsel. I appeal to you with a deep conviction of duty. I believe that you share this convic tion. 1 therefore appeal to you with confidence. I am at your service with out reserve to play my part in any way you may call upon me to play it in this great enterprise of exigent reform, which it will dignify and distinguish us to perform and discredit us to neg lect."

Forget and forgive was the keynote of an address delivered tonight by ex-Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks at a banquet ten dered him by 300 Republican leaders of Nebraska. The gathering was fairly representative of bath wings of the party in this state. Mr. Fairbanks had no decided views to express on current legislation nor on Democratic policies, except to touch on the income tax section of the Un derwood tariff bill. On this matter he declared himself in favor of an income tax but thought it should be a repre sentative one. The provision for a minimum of $4000 he believed too high and placed the "burden, if it may be so called" on too small a number of people. "As a rule, he said, "every one should bear his proportion of the tax burdens of the people. It makes for better cit izenship and in the end is but common justice. The distribution should be so equalized that it will not be class tax ation." "Get Together" Policy Vrged. To Nebraska Republicans the for mer v ice-r-resiaeni recommended a "get-together" policy and that they let oygones De Bygones. "No proscriptive spirit snouid be kept alive." he de clared. "No matter how differently good Republicans saw their duty a year ago that doesn't matter now. The best of Republicanism today is one's loyalty to Republican principles now. Mr. Fairbanks prefaced his address with a declaration that when , he ac cepted an invitation to address the an nual mission school, now in session in this city, he did not presume he would also be called upon to make a political address. He then reviewed the achieve ments of the party at some length, de tailing the result of Republican legis lation, mentioning particularly the In terstate Commerce law and the Sher man anti-trust law. These two laws, he declared, had served to protect the people against railroads and Industrial monopoly as has no other legislation ever - enacted. Ileal of Breach Predicted. Speaking of the future he said: "Now and then we have heard it said that the Republican party has ended its career; that it ia a party of the present rather than of the future. Such prophecy is not new, we have heard it proclaimed in other days. "Circumstances which unfortunately led to- party division a year ago no longer exist. The Democratic party is in full power and it can be overthrown only by the united effort of the great body of those who believe in the sound ness and efficacy of Republican prin ciples.. Republicans, that is to say, those. who believe the political doctrine of the Republican party, are largely in the majority throughout the country. .1 have no doubt whatever that the logic of events will bring them into co-operation again. This much to-be-desired result cannot be accomplished bv co ercion of any sort; it must come about naturally, by the exercise of a spirit of luieraucn ana patience; old scores snouid be forgotten; as President Mc Kinley happily puts it "It does not do to keep books in politics.' " Tax Distribution Favored. The speaker then came to the an. tion of the tariff and spoke of the equalizing of the burden of taxation. He referred particularly to the income tax, which he declared should be ho fixed as to distribute Its result in a manner which would not be discrimin atory against a particular few. The requirements of better citizenship and common, justice demand that the mini mum be placed at a figure which will give it the proper distribution, he de clared. "Thn tariff should be revised with discriminating judgment." he contin ued. "The light of the best possible facts should be ascertained by a board or experts, so as to safeguard Ameri can production without imposing any unjust burdens upon the people." Mr. Fairbanks declared that the Re publican party should stand firm for the Integrity of the courts in the ex ercise of their judicial functions. we do not believe," he said, "that the ends of justice will be subserved by unanrmining our juaiciai system, di rectly or indirectly."

Mrs. Marie Nevins, 35 years old. a lodging house keeper, was shot and probably fatally wounded late today by Edward McAllister, 22 years old. After shoot ing the woman McAllister telephoned to the police, and was waiting for them when the officers arrived to take him into custody. The shooting occurred in the lodging-house conducted by Mrs. Nevins. McAllister shot three times at the wo man, two bullets taking effect. At the City Hospital, where Mrs. Nevins was taken, it was said she had only a slight chance for recovery. McAllister made a complete confes sion to the police.
