NO. 26 COOPERWINSMEDAL Whatcom Man Captures Championship Honors. ; HAKES 240UT OF POSSIBLE 25 W. P. Sheard, of Taeoma, Talces Ana conda Cup, and Mr. Wright, of. , Butte, Multnomah Medal Trap Shoot Ends. Dell Cooper, of Whatcom, won the cham pionship medal yesterday In. the shooting tournament with a score of 24 out of 25. W. F. Sheard. Tacoma's phenomenal rep resentative, took the Anaconda cup, and M. Wright, of Butte, won the shoot-off Df tho Multnomah medal tie. The shoot was In every respect similar to the ones on the nrcvious days. The Remington squad continued to serve wel come refreshments in their tent, and the negro minstrels sang their songs as usual. Borne consternation was caused by the ap pearance of Captain W. J. Riley in a con vict suit, for as soon as he came la sight he was taken for Harry Tracy, and the members present who had guns took to the tali timber, fearing that their weapons would be taken from them by the over bold ex-prlsoncr. The mistake, however, was discovered, and tho fleeing members were subjected to some little chaff for their temerity. The winners of the money events were about the samo as those of the previous days, in most cases there being more than one, making the prizes rather small in some of the events. This, however, was equalized by the same set of winners win ning on most of the events, thus making the day's work highly profitable. The Multnomah medal tie of Thursday was played off between the five members who made it on that day. M. Wright, of Butte, secured the medal by defeating Dell Cooper, qf Whatcom, by a score of 15 to 14 out of 20 possible targets. Much interest centered in tho Anaconda cup contest, and after a great number of good shots were fired, 'W. F. Sheard and M. Adams, a Portland shot, tied with a score of 25 straight. The tie was shot off, Sheard winning 24 against 21. The championship medal was the most Important of the day, being a 23-target event. M. J. Flohr, of Wallace, Idaho, and Doll Cooper, of Whatcom, hit each of the 25, and a shoot-off was necessary to tell the tale, in which Cooper defeated Flohr 24 to 20, thus securing the most de Eired victory of the day. , Last night the visiting sportsmen to the number of 60 were treated to a crawfish banquet at the Portland Hotel by the local club, at which a few remarks were made by the officers of the assoclaton relative to the fine time that has been enjoyed during the week. The officers of. this Spoilsmen's- Associa tion, which were elected at the annual -meeting for the ensuing year, are: Presi dent, M. M. Godman, of Daytqn, Wash.; vice-president, J. E. Enyart, of Medford, Or.; secretary and treasurer. Judge F. C. Miller, of Dayton, Wash.; directors, T. B. Ware, of Spokane; E. E. Ellis, of Seattle; W. F. Sheard. of Taeoma; C.

HERMANN TO STAY Roosevelt Will 'Not Retire, Oregon Man. ; WESTERN HEN 'ARE WITH HIM- MISS MORRISON CONVICTED Friction Between Hitchcock and Commissioner Is a Thins of the Past Democrats Make Mistake in Calling; Dewey. WASHINGTON. June 28. About a year ago. Secretary Hitchcock Insisted that,' Blnger Hermann. Commissioner' of the General Land Office, "should' retire. Pres- and that the dissatisfaction among tbef Western men was with Hitchcock. To re tain Hitchcock and dismiss. Hermann would bo strongly offenslvo to most of the Western Senators and Representa tives. Besides, It was not so easy to find a successor for Hermann. The As sistant Commissioner did not seem to bo quite the man,"and there was no other man quite available. As matters stand now, .It Is believed among the Oregon men here that Hermann will not be dis turbed. The friction 'between the Secretary and the Commissioner Is practically a thing of the past, or at least Is not prominent" enough Jto affect the public business, and so he will probably remain at the head of the Land Office. Tongue Gets the Place. Chairman Babcock today settled thr long dispute over the membership for the Congressional committee by naming Representative Tongue for the place. f BRITONS ARE HAPPY v Breathe Freely Again, Now That the King Recovers.

Jessie Mor rison, In her third trial for murder of Mrs. Olln Castle at her home In this city in June, 1900, was today found guilty of mur der in the second degree. The Jury was out 12 hours. The case may be appealed again. Jessie Morrison killed Clara Wiley Cas tle with a razor in a quarrel eight days after Mrs. Castle had been married to Olln Castle, with whom both women had been in love. Miss Morrison is the daugh ter of H. M. Morrison, formerly a Circuit Judge. The first trial resulted In a disa greement. At the second trial Miss Mor rison was found guilty of manslaughter and given a five-year sentence. She spent but two months in the penitentiary, being granted a new trial last February. Ao the foreman finished reading tho ver dict this morning Miss Morrison turned pale, threw her arms around her aged fathers neck, am ner neaa on nwsnoui der and both wept bitterly. Later In her cell Miss Morrison -refused to talk other than to say that she had not expected a conviction, adding: "The Judge "was against me from the first jto the last." More Police Ofllccrs Indicted. MINNEAPOLIS, June 2S. Three more members of the police force have been In dicted by the grand Jury, and two of them arraigned. Captain John Fltchett Is ac cused of receiving a gratuity of $100 for securing an applicant a place on the police force. Inspector Fred Malone wa3 ar raigned for being accessory af tor, the fact j to a reiony, to wit. tne craciung ot a safe in the Pabst Brewing Company's of fice. The third man indicted is Inspector Charles F. Brackets Failed toiMnrder, Killed Himself. CHICAGO. June 2S. Armed -with two re volvers, Charles W. Gale, an Insane real estate dealer, made two Ineffectual at tempts to kill Albert McMullen, a barber, last night, then he locked himself In his office and killed himself. A quarrel about a woman was responsible for the tragedy, it Is said. Missouri Meat Trust Salt. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 2S. The Supreme Court today sustained the mo tion of Attorney-General Crow to strike out the returns of the packers in the ouster proceedings as to all contentions, except the sixth, which raises the ques tions whether the packers are In a com bine to fix and maintain prices. On this point the court overruled the motion and appointed L H. Klnley, of Kansas City, to take testimony and report on the first day of the October term of the Supreme Court. Attorney Hagennan, for the packers, filed exceptions and objections to tho action of the court on the ground that the points overruled Involved Fed eral questions, which the Supreme Court of the United States should pass upon. The court sustained the constitutionality of the state anti-trust laws Involved In the motion. Chief Justice Burgess and Justice Marshall dissented from the ac tion of the court In overruling a part of the motion relating to the question of fact on which testimony Is to bo taken. "W. F.

Departure of Special Envoys Moor Glad He Is Going: Back to Civil isation Un-ivorfc i Coronets. ldent McKlnley found that he must elthciv dispense with Hermann, or cause a break In his Cabinet, which he felt he could not do. It was then settled that Hermann would have to go. Before any .action was taken, however, the friends of Her mann secured an agreement that nothing should be done until after the election In Oregon of this year. This was a long lease of life for the Commissioner, and knowing that he and the Secretary wer$ not In accord, he felt that it was a satis factory arrangement. But the death of McKlnley, and tho accession of Roose velt, seems to have changed the situa tion. Roosevelt was at first perfectly willing to carry out the arrangement made by McKlnley, but, as time werit on, he found Hermann a satisfactory officer, take In calling Dewey. He is too big a man in the country to be browbeaten and blackguarded In the manner that Carmack and Patterson have done. These men wanted to make Dewey exalt Agulnaldo, and, falling In that, they wanted Dewey to criticise the American officers. When they found Dewey would not testify to suit them, but stood upon the broad American plan of our right to hold and govern tho Philippines, they began the same tactics that were used to ward every American officer that has ap peared as a witness before the Philippine committee. A few Democrats express great regret that their party managers should be so stupid as to place themselves in the at titude of attacking a manof Dewey's popularity. - , LONDON, June 2S. "The King Is now out of Immediate danger." This ' announcement spread quickly throughout the metropolis and caused general rejoicing. Lord Lister. Sir Fred erick Treves and. other doctors discussed the patient's condition for nearly an hour before thev committed themselves to the Important announcement. It was read at Buckingham Palace by only a small crowd, the public being practically assured by yesterday evening's report that every- i thing was going well. Yet, to use the words of the Westminster Ga'zette. the bulletin was "full of intense relief." ' The reference to the wound In the mom: lngs bulletin, it is authoritatively set forth, can be regarded without any dis- ' ouietude. By June 30 the doctors are ex- t pected to announce that all danger of any , complications has passed. The King was very cheerful this morn ing, after four or five hours' sleep, and his temperature was normal. He la al ready able to raise himself slightly by the aid: of a pulley. When he. first made an attempt to do so the Queen adjusted the plllows-so as to form a back rest, and with a s!gh of Intense relief the ,Klng ex claimed: ' j "Ah! That Is better!" The Lancet, In lta comments today, I cays: I "No Immediate septic absorption has taken place, as shown hy the complete absence of disquieting symptoms. We i hope that rumor Is ceasing to be busy with the origin and pathology of His MaJ- ! esty's Illness, since the very plain state- I ment of facts in the case which we were ' able to publish June 23. and since the ab- solute accuracy of the bulletins has been Justified." Wlthdravrnl of Envoys. The group of the members of the royal family which gathered at Victoria Station this morning were happy and cheerful. The Prince of Wales went there to bid farewell to his cousin. Prince Henry of Prussia, and the Crown Prince Loui Philippe of Portugal, and others who were leavlnjr London, including the Grand . Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Frederick I Francis and the Egyptian and Moorish envoya. The chief oc stau ot tne mst named said to a representative of the Associated Press: "I am smitten to the earth with sorrow for KlnK Edward. England ii a great jcountrjv-but I am. glad tOjiw-golngtback. A week which has witnessed emotions of such conflicting and intense character as to be without parallel in the nation's history Is ending as It began. In rejoicing. In the brief apace of five days the coun try has gone through the most acute stagca of jubilation, fear, doubt and hope. Now, with today's bulletin, they are all talking of the festivities, many of which will occur as planned. The Crystal Palace July 2 will be the scene of the brilliant hospital ball, in which so many Ameri cans are taking part. On July 4 tne In dian offices will be transformed with Oriental decorations, plants and flowers for the Asiatic reception, when tho Prince of Wales Is expected; to welcome the vis itors, and London's poor arc eagerly look ing forward to their free coronation din ner. Among the disappointed stand-owners and other sections of the public, there Is a strong desire to have a war parade, with Lord Kitchener as the central figure. Such an arrangement would doubtless at tract many thousands to London. The metropolis and the country are quite ready to go wild over Lord Kitchener, but he is likely to endeavor to dodge any public shows. Falling In Kitchener, the stand proprietors have to rely on the King's first public reappearance, which is likely to he a drive through the streets to the national thanksgiving service. That, however, must be some time hence, as a man In his 61st year. In spite of his wonderfully quick recovery from the im mediate results of the operation, will probably have to submit to a long conva lescence. What at first sight was one of the most pathetic features of the postponement of the coronation, among all the serious financial embarrassments on every hand, was the utter demoralization of the street "fakers," who had been counting for months past on a rich harvest. The feat ures of the Strand, Fleet street and hotel entrances today were atrcet urchins, most ly of tender years, apparently weeping over trays of cheap medals, pins and other out-of-date and Inappropriate souvenirs. Their general Availing pleas were always aimed at well-dressed pedestrians: "Only a penny; stuck wif me medals; please buy someflpg." These appeals frequently succeeded. A noticeable fact, however, was that thes'e "tears" and grief among the sharp street arabs only seem to have developed today. The symptoms epread rapidly. Among scores of clever little plagiarists Ir. other walks of life the same keen disappointment was visible. Unworn Coronets. Had the coronation occurred. American women, would have constituted one of the most brilliant features. The Duchess ot Marlborough had a new coronet, even more magnificent than the big pearl-tipped tiara che has hitherto worn at court. Her unworn acquisition rivaled that of the Duchess of Portland, In which the great Portland diamond itself, worth 12,000, had been reset. Mrs. Arthur Paget, who would have had a seat In the King's box at Westmin ster Abbey, would have worn a costly emerald and diamond tiara, collar, pend ant and brooches formerly belonging to her mother, Mrs. Paget Stevens. Mrs. Paget's dress was embroidered with dia monds and pearls. Lady Abiner, who was a Miss Magruder (daughter of the late Commodore Ma Eruder. United States Navy), and widow of the Lite third Baron Abiner, had her Peeress robes embroidered with gold, and besides her diumond coronet, would have worn a four-row pearl necklace, clasped with a huge sapphire and surrounded with diamonds, once the property of Marie Antoinette. Marie Cora, Lady Stafford, formerly Mrs. Samuel Colgate, of New York, would certainly have made a sensation, as she had a very- high diamond tiara, and In stead of a iwcklace, would have had rubies and pearls, draped like an aigrette on her left shoulder. Lady Duffcrin (formerly Miss Florence Davis, of New York) Intended" to wear all the heirlooms of the DufTerin family, which she recently Inherited. Lady Grey Edgerton. who was Mfes May Cuyler. daughter of the late Major J. Walne Cuyler, United States Army, .was going to dress In white, embroidered with gold lilies, with a diamond tiara, a dia mond qnd pearl collar, and two neck laces, one of rubies and diamonds, and one all diamonds. Lady DcHurst. stepdaughter of Charles Bonynge. ot San Franc'&co, was to wear beautiful black pearls, a diamond neck lace and a diamond tiara.

Tho annual conven tlon of the Western Oregon division of the State Teachers' Association came to a close today after one of the most success ful meetings in the history of the organi zation. At the morning session, the business meeting of the association was held, be ginning with the selection of the place of holding the next meeting. Several in vitations were presented, but that pre sented by Superintendent R. F. Robinson to hold the next meeting at Portland was accepted. The matter of selecting time for meeting was referred to the executive committee. The election of officers followed, and President B. D. Ressler, of the Monmouth Blip m Depenr Is Not Hopefnl. NEW YORK, June 28. Senator Depew. Who has followed the history of King Edward's case very carefully, docs not entertain the most optimistic view of the outcome, cables the London correspondent of the Herald. , "If you will notice the bulletins that have betSn Issued. .said the Senator, "you -will set jthat they Have all bfsen worded with the utmost care, xo any one reauuis between, the lines. It is apparent that those in charge of the, case are not at all san guine as to the King's recovery. This cdnvlnces me that the royal patient's con dition is for more serious than people In general npprecjate." James R. Keene-would express no opin ion on the chances of the King's recov ery. "Whatever the result may be," he said, "It will not affect values In America. If the King should die. his son, the Prince of Wales, would be proclaimed King within 15 minutes. The government would go on as usual. The present monarch Is greatly admired and esteemed In America. On many occasions he has shown himself to be the friend of America and Ameri cans. He has always treated Americans kindly. I think there would be much gen uine sorrow among them In the event of a fatal termination of his illness. Still, in my opinion, values would hot be affect ed in London." Profeisor E. D. Reisler, elected president Weitern Oregon DIvHIon of State Teacher' Association. POPULAR TEAM AT TRAP SHOOT.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 2S. The good will of a business cannot be taxed under the Indiana law. according to a decision of the Supreme Court In the Indianapolis News case. Tne valuation of tangible property as returned for taxation had not been questioned, but the State Board had added a large sum for good-will and for value of the Associated Press franchise. When the paper refused to pay. the State Board sued through the State Auditor to collect. While the complaint alleged that the additional assessment was against the good-will of the property and the Associ ated Press franchise, it did not specify how much either was valued at. Attorneys for the newspaper showed that the Indiana law did not provide a method nor attempt to provide one for taxing good-will, and that no other newspaper or other property had been so taxed. The lower court found in favor of the News, and the higher court sustained the opin ion. Last Cable of East River Bridge. NEW YORK, June 28.
