THE MORNTNTJ OREGONTATf. TTTKRTAT, JTTXE 13, 1910. 1. HUGHES DROPS JUDICIAL RESERVE Politics Re-entered With Zest , by Candidate, Who Meets V. Scores of Old Friends. STATEMENT IS WITHHELD formal Notification of Nomination Awaited Before Nominee Givea Views Further Marked Change in Bearing Is Noted NEW TOEK, June 12. Charles E. Hushes re-entered politics today, ap parently with abundant zest. He reached this city early in the day, established temporary headquarters at an uptown hotel and virtually held open house until nearly midnight. Scores of persons on various missions flocked to his rooms, mostly men who had known him back in the days when he was campaigning for Governor of New York. There also were several party leaders among his callers. Mr. Hushes Issued no statement and expects to issue none until he is formally notified of his nomination. The subcommittee to confer with him as to fixing- a date for the ceremony prob ably will wait on him in a few days. Although the nominee's plans still are unsettled, it is likely he will remain in New York until June 20, when he ex pects to attend a reunion of the class of '81 of Brown University at Provi dence, R. L - He probably will remain there for commencement exercises the next day. Change In Bearing Marked. Those who knew the nominee as a Eupreme Court justice noticed a marked change in his bearing: today. His air of studious reserve apparently left him with the robes of his office. He had a hearty handgrasp and a smile for every man he met and was enthusiastic in his welcome of old friends, who came to see him . after Intervals of years. These came In crowds. One, an old schoolmate who used to call him "Charley," dropped in after an absence of nearly 40 years. Another who said he hadn't seen him for 15 years, waited an hour in his anteroom to remind the nominee of the days when he taught a Bible class in the Fifth-Avenue Baptist Church here, of which the latter was a member. A Texas Republican leader, J. E. Lutz, of Vernon, trailed him here from Wash ington -merely to shake hands and say "Texas will be with you." Robert Fuller, who was his secretary when he was Governor, spent the after noon helping him receive callers and Major Crosslt, who was his military aide in 1910, established himself at the door of the inner office. Through the doer there marched a steady file of visitors. Among those who called were Henry W. Taft, State Chairman Tanner, of New York; George W. "W'ickersham who quickly denied a report that he had been to Oyster Bay to enlist Colonel Roosevelt's aid in the campaign Herbert Parsons, National Committeeman from Xew York; Samuel Koenig. New York .republican leader; S. S. McClure and many other local leaders in the nominee's home state of New Yorjjj Progressives Action Awaited. How the Progressives will vote; whether Colonel Roosevelt will sup port Mr. Hughes; whether the Colonel will take the stump for him; to what extent failure of the Progressives to support Hughes would affect the elec tion these and kindred topics were he subjects of much speculation on the part of the Republican leaders who called. The opinion prevailed that the question might be answered in several days after the Progressive leaders have had an opportunity to confer at length. Although Mr. Hughes declined to comment on political affairs, he settled one question today. Borne of his callers addressed him as "Governor," some as "Mr. Justice Hughes." some as "Mr. HugheB" and one outspoken admirer called him "Mr. President." Mr. Hughes held up his hand. "No," he said, "I resigned as Gover nor; I am no longer a Supreme Court Justice and well just make it plain jvir. Mugnes. Because of the press of political con ferences. Mr. Hughes said late today. that he would not be able to take part In he preparedness parade at wash ington pn Wednesday. The Republican nominee had planned to march in the parade, which will be led by President Wilson. PROGRESSIVES RETURN TO REPUBLICAN FOLD Party Leaders in Several States Come Out In Support of Hughes Few " Decline toEnter Harmony Wave. NEW YORK. .June 12. (Special.) New York Progressives are swinging to Hughes. The general sentiment of the Bull Moose- was voiced today by Oscar S. Straus, delegate-at-large to the Chicago convention and Progressive candidate lor Governor in 1912, when he said: "Next to Roosevelt, Hughes is the most suitable man to the Progressives. We made the Republican Old Guard take Hughes, a man they did not want." When the refusal of Colonel Roose velt to accept the Progressive nomina tion was mentioned, Mr. Straus said: "It was the best thing to do. Roosevelt was perfectly right in refusing." Atlanta, Ga. That the Progressive party cannot be delivered to any other cause, but will name a candidate in the place of Theodore Roosevelt if his declination sticks, was the declaration today of John L, Sibley, of Georgia, Progressive leader and one of the dele-gates-at-large to the Chicago convention. "It Is still the opinion of many of us that Mr. Roosevelt will accept," as serted Mr. Sibley. "But if he continues to refuse, the party will name another and continue to exist on its principles. Ours is no longer a one-man's party. Although the Progressives would be de lighted to have Mr. Roosevelt lead them and give the standpat Republicans another licking, many feel that it might be just as well for the Colonel to retire at this time. The party cer tainly should not live as his private asset." ST. PACT Minn. Minnesota Pro gressives are Hkely to support Hughes. G. W. "Halbert, state chairman, said to day: . . It's to be borne in mind that the election of Mr. Hughee by the Repub licans is not a victory for the reaction aries, but really a victory for Mr. Roosevelt, who put them In a position where they had to nominate such a man. DE8 MOINES. Caper Schneck. de feated candidate for United States Sen ator two years ago on the Progressive ticket and Bull moose leader in lowa, today declared himself for Hughes and asserted that Iowa Progressives would upport the Republican ticket.

"Aa an independent organization the Progressives can hardly hope to re cover from the recent acts of its well nigh idolized leader. I shall support Mr. Hughes for the Presidency." NEW ORLEANS, La. "Under no cir cumstances will I run on the Repub lican ticket." This is John M. Parker's reply to the reports from Chicago among political leaders that there is a plan afoot to have the Progressives indorse Hughes for President, have Fairbanks resign as Vice-President on the Republican ticket and put his (Parker's) name in second place on the Republican slate. Mr. -Parker made this statement at his New Orleans offices a few hours aften hie return from the Progressive convention in Chicago. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. The Republi can nominees, Hughes and Fairbanks, will not receive the support of the Pro gressives of Indiana under any consid eration, -.and in case the -Progressives do not have a National ticket in the field, a concentrated effort will be made in this state to throw all the support possible to Wilson.

Progressives are so pleased over the nomination of Hughes that the state candidates of that party are preparing to withdraw from the race in favor of the Republican nomi ness for the same offices. "Hughes suits me," said W. D. Henry, of Omaha, Progressive nominee for the United States Senate. "I will send In my resignation in a day or two. We Progressive candidates talked over the situation some days ago and decided if Hughes were nominated to withdraw in favcr of the Republican candidates. We are very much disappointed in Roosevelt.

CHERRIES TO BE SHORT LACK OF POLXINIZATIOjr BLAMED, NOT FROST CONDITIONS. PIONEER BARBER IS BURIED The Dallea Orchards Are Being Blade Over Since Sterile Varieties Have Failed Often. THE DALLES. Or., June 12. (Spe cial.) While shipments of early cher ries began this week, a aight crop is expected in this section. According to the county agricultural agent, the light crop is not due to frost conditions, but almost altogether to lack of polliniza- tion, caused by setting out varieties of trees that do not mate. For a number of years It was not known why some orchards seemed to do well, while other failed until an Investigation conducted by Professor Gardener, of the Oregon Agricultural College, discovered the reason. The pollinization plan was first tried out in the orchards of Dr. E. -G. Sanders and later in 20 of the larger orchards of the county. Grafts of the Waterhouse cherry were secured from Salem and one tree in every 16 was made Into a Water house cherry bearer. This variety mates exceedingly well with the Royal Ann, Lambert and Blng, which are largely sterile and to which most of the orchards here are planted. Through this method the state ex perts expect a much heavier yield of cherries in this section within two years and large yields from the third year on. The early varieties, such as Kentish, May Duke, Governor Wood, Black Tari tan and Black Republican, are bearing heavily this year. Growers, as a rule, are getting good prices.

Sarah Bard Field Promises Support of Six Women Orators If Presi dent Will Support Cause. , Hughes to Get Request. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 12. Hope was high in suffrage circles ' tonight that the Democratic National convention would incorporate an" equal rights plank of some sort in its platform. ; Suffragists of all factions were busy today working among the more widely known Democrats, and tonight, " with tentative arrangements made for a hearing on their demands, probably Wednesday, they were optimistic. They noted with Interest tha attention Demo crats have paid to the declarations of the Republican platform on suffrage and declare that the Democratic party no longer can afford to Ignore that issue. A suffrage plank will not be Inserted without a fight, however, also led by a woman. Mrs. Arther Dodge, of New York, leader of antl-suf fraglst forces. Is here to make a determined stand against any favorable mention of equal rights in the platform. AiemDers oz tne .nationals were elated tonight to receive a telegram from Senator Borah, a drafter of the Repub lican platform, declaring that docu ment was Intended to Indorse eqMal suffrage unqualifiedly. No efforts will be spared to get Senator Borah's tele gram before Democratic platform-makers. Indorsement Is Unqualified. The telegram, received by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the Nation als, follows: 'Suffrage plank of the Republican platform Is an unqualified Indorsement of woman suffrage. It unmistakably favors the extension of suffrage to women and favors It as a matter of Jus tice. This is not subject to possible ambiguity. The only question left open is tnat or the method of securing It. The plank recognizes the right of each state to settle the question itself, but It does not declare against the taking away of that right. It was my view at the time of the adoption of the amendment in the committee and still is my view that upon the question of the Federal amendment the plank was silent and neither rejected nor in dorsed it." This is the plank which the NatTonal association will ask the Democrats to Insert in their platform: Believing that governments derive their vast powers from the consent of tne governed, , we acknowledge the right of women to participate in gov ernment, and favor their enfranchisement-" Sara Bard Field, of Oregon, a leader of the Woman's Party, todav tele graphed an appeal to President Wilson for aid in getting the Anthony amend ment through Congress and promising the support of herself and five other speakers In the coming campaign If it is given. - Hashes to Get Request. A communication soon will be ad dressed to Charles E. Hughes request ing .nim to go on record on the suf frage. Issue in his speech of acceptance. in w more deilnlte manner than his party platform commits him. When the Woman's Party representatives Mrs. Field. Miss Ann Martin, of Nevada, Mrs. Ida Finney Macrllle. of Montana, and Miss Maude Younger, of California appear before the committee they will not touch on the right of women to vote, but will lay stress on their ability to cut a big figure in the results of 12 voting states this Fall. The Woman's Party members will tell the committee that the 12 states in which women are enfranchised elect one-fifth of the Electoral College and cast one-third or the votes necessary to elect a President. The woman vote behind one candidatae would have changed the results of all. except three elections held in suffrage states be tween 1886 and 1912. they will say. Congressional Union workers gave St Louis a heretofore unexperienced thrill today with some street corner suffrage speeches from motor cars.. They also passed the hat a purple straw creation and incidentally raised $3 for the cause. The first motor car meeting came to a sudden and untimely end.

"The so-called human blood test made on the undershirt of Bennett Thompson proves nothing more than that blood may have been on the gar ment not that It was human blood and not positively that it was blood at all." This was the assertion of Dr. Ray W.

It should be followed with a scientific examination to prove conclusively that it was human blood with which the garment wts stained." "Soap Would Give Reaction." "Who would conduct such an exam ination? Tr. Matson was asked. 'I am certain that the medical de partment of the University of Oregon is in a position to handle it," he replied.

A new apple industry quite aside from the production of dried apples. the sale of fresh apples to the mar kets, or even the manufacture of apple jack and cider vinegar, has arisen in Hood River, under the name of the Hood River Fruit Products Company, and yesterday the managing commit tee of the Bureau of Manufactures and Industries of the Chamber of Com merce, came and saw and sampled, and pronounced It mighty good. R. S. Pratt, manager of the company, Introduced It and Its products to the Chamber of Commerce. The new concern does ' not bother with the ordinary products from apples and other fruits, but devotes itself to the manufacture of fancy confections and specialties that will be attractive In confectionery stores and soft drink establishments. Mr. Pratt had one or two pieces of apple confectionery that were sufficient to win over the committee, even if it had not been for the almost endless variety of other products he presented. The committee unanimously Indorsed the new industry- as one that holds much promise for the future, in d e vet oping new ways of making marketable products from Oregon fruits. that human, blood had stained the gar ment." "Just what does the blood test used in this case prove?" was asked the physician. 'l. - "It proves that the' shirt was stained with something, which might have been human blood," was the reply. "But it does not prove that it was human blood. Potato soup would have given the same reaction to the test. So would various vegetable and animal dyes. Substances which would react to this test Include iron salts, iodine of potash, permanganate of potash, secretions from the nose and throat, juice of plants, vegetables, etc" Serum Test Only Proof. "The 'benzidine test Is but a prelimi nary step," . went on Dr. Matson. "No chemical test can prove the presence of human blood. Only a serum test can do that. After the test that has been made by those working on the murder case, the spot should undergo a micro scopical examination to prove the pres ence of blood crystals. Or the spec troscope could be used. But these only confirm the presence of blood, sus pected after the first test. "Next it should be proved. If possible, that It is human blood. This can only be done through the serum test. A rabbit is Inoculated with human blood. In 10 days' time a portion of the blood may be removed, and If allowed to co agulate and brought gently into con tact with a solution of human blood serum, the development of a distinct haziness at the point of contact proves the serum tested is human blood." Dr. Matson explained that these facts can only be carried out in well-equipped and intelligently supervised labora tories. He has written Sheriff Reeves, of Washington County, his opinion of the tests made thus far In the Thomp son case. The physician explains that he had no Interest in the case outside of the phase brought out by the blood tests, and has no elaborate theory as to the guilt of Innocence of Thompson. He only knows, he says, that if all the evidence against Thompson is no stronger than that of the "human blood test," the authortles stand a poor chance of convicting the suspect.
