Public Evidently Is Be

GOLD STANDARD IN DANGER
If Democrats Get States Claim
ed They Will Control Senate,
TARIFF IS ALSO IMPERILED
Sage of Esopus Has Several Times
Declared His Party Cannot Hope
to Be In Power In Congress
In the Next Four Years.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. (Special.) The
Tribune today prints the following:
"Were the Democrats to carry all the
states claimed by such of their leaders
as Taggart and Sheehan this Fall, they
"would control the Senate after March 4,
1905, by two votes. Tariff revision, based
on their platform assertion that 'protection-
is robbery,' "would become not 'im
possible,' but Inevitable, and the 'Irre
vocably established' gold standard 'would
be at the mercy of such stanch 'gold
bugs' as Teller, Newlands, Dubois, Pat
terson, Champ Clark, De Armond and
Clayton, not to mention William J. Bryan,
"who hopes soon 'to arrive in the Senate.
"Were Parker barely to be elected Pres
ident, -with votes of only a portion of the
etates claimed by his campaign manager,
the Democratic majority in the Senate
after March 4, 1907, the middle of Par
ser's term, "would, in the Judgment of
shrewd politicians', be practically as
sured. Perhaps no sane person believes
the Democrats can gain control of the
Legislatures in all the states they claim,
5)ut were they to elect the President
and the House, their chances of securing
a majority in the Senate two years hence
would be so materially enhanced that
there is no doubt among those most com
petent to Judge that they "would attain
their end, thus giving Democracy entire
control of all the branches of the Govern- ;
ment In. the second half of Parker's term.
"In the light of these facts, many Re
publicans are emphatic in their asser
tions that Parker must have permitted
himself to deceive the public, and espe
cially that great element which would re
gard Democratic tariff tinkering as equal
ly disastrous to the effort of that party
to readjust schedules In 1S93, when he
declared that 'It is a fact that we cannot
hope to secure a majority in the Senate
during the next four years.' "
SEMI-JUDICIAL RALLY PLANNED
Noted Democrats Are to Speak, and
Parker Will Charge the Jury.
NEW YORK, Sept 24. (Special.) The
World today cays:
"The main work being done in Demo
cratic circles is to arrange the business
end and the practical details of the cam
paign. This Mr. Parker has personally
taken hold of as party leader. He has
settled the powers and duties of the
various campaign officials and managers,
and tliey are all glad that he has. All
friction has disappeared and everybody is
now working hard and confidently, feeling
that a master hand is at the helm.
"Parker Is aided by the constant advice
of Senator Gorman, Colonel Itomont, Wil
liam F. Sheehan and Thomas F. Ryan.
Ryan seems to have become more promi
nent than Belmont In the business man
agement of the campaign, especially in
placing the treasury on a sound financial
basis.
"It is planned to have Parker make his
first, and probably only, public appearance
during the campaign in New York at a
mass meeting and reception at Madison
Square Garden. Before the speechmaklng,
it Is proposed to have a reception to en
able Parker to 'meet the people. After the
reception there will be speeches of a seml-
judldal nature. Delancy Nicoll Is to ap-
pear- for the prosecution In the case of
the 'People of the United States against
Theodore Roosevelt,' and District Attor
ney Jerome Is to present the case of the
'People of New York against Benjamin J.
Odell.' Parker is to close with a charge
to the jury, calmly and dispassionately
weighing the evidence and facts. Parker
is averse to this plan, but his managers
and friends are urgent that he should
make at least one public appearance in
New York City."
ASK FOR CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Democrats Assert Postal Employes
Are Being Assessed.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. (Special.) The
Herald today says:
"Every postal employe in Kentucky, ac
cording to the information given out at
Democratic National headquarters, is be
ing asked to contribute to the Republican
campaign fund. Secretary Urey Wood
son, of the National Committee, says the
clerks and carriers are being asked for 5
per cent of their yearly salary, which
amounts, in many, instances, to about ?70."
The Herald quotes Woodson as saying:
"I learn that the Republican party man
agers in Kentucky are much elated over
the fact that they are permitted to -collect
and retain the fund, and are doing
their utmost to obtain contributions from
every Federal employe In the state. The
sending out of such letters is in direct
violation of the Federal statute. If such
measures are used In Kentucky, it Ls a
lair inference they are being employed
elsewhere. We intend to make a. thor
ough Investigation."
SINCERITY AND GOOD TASTE.
A Few Facts That Judge Parker
Seems to Fiave Forgotten.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. (Special.)
Wide circulation was given last Sunday
through the Democratic press to Judge
Parker's letter to Mr. Parker, of the
Democratic bureau of literature, asking
that there be no word In the Democrat
ic text-book reflecting upon the person
al honor and Integrity of President
Roosevelt. The letter follows:
RoeemoUnt, Bsopus, N. Y., Auir. 17, 1904,.
My Dear Mr. Parker: The Times of this morn
ing: cays that the party text-book ls about pre
pared, and that it will so to the printer In a
few days. Therefore I hasten to beg you to
see to It that there la no word in it that re
flects upon the personal honor and Integrity of
President Roosevelt.
An Evening Tout editorial indicates but little
care was taken In that direction toward myself
by the compiler of the Republican text-book,
but let there be no rejoinder In kind or other
wise. I feel confident that you need so reminder,
still my anxiety impels mo to send this cau
tion. Very truly yours,
ALTON B, PARKER.
Mr. George x1. Parker.
It was certainly a very pretty play
for the candidate to make, particularly
as he coupled with this request to Mr.
Parker the reflection that the Republi
can text-book had contained reflections
upon his own personality, a statement
wholly devoid of truth. It Is well, how
ever, to analyze Judge Parker's tele
grams and letters to. see whether they
are sincere or merely expedient. One
week after Judge Parker's virtuous let
ter of August 17, Joseph Pulitzer print
ed in his New York. World an editorial
attacking very severely the record of
President Roosevelt and reflecting most
emphatically upon the President's hon
er and Integrity. In the World of Au
gust 24 we find the following dispatch:
"Kingston, Aug. 24. After reading
Mr. Pulitzer's editorial in this morn
ing's World, Mr. Parker gave, the
World correspondent the following
signed statement, the first signed
statement he has ever given: A vig
orous, trenchant, notable .letter. It
should be read, marked and digested
by alL Alton B. Parker.' "
It would then seem that Judge Par
ker does not objeot to attacks upon
the honor and integrity of President
Roosevelt when they appear in a Demo
cratic newspaper, although he may not
consider It expedient that such attacks
be made i ntho campaign text-book.
Judge Parker's letter bears the date
of August 17. A week later the Demo
cratic National Committee began dis
tributing a document entitled "What
Roosevelt Says," Containing the follow
ing: "Farmer Mr. Bryan and his adherents have
appealed to the baseet set in the land, the
farmer." Speech before New York Wool Ex
change, October 27, 1896. Reported In New
York Journal, October 28, 1800.
When this-document was printed the
authenticity of "the above quotation had
been denied over and over again by
President .Roosevelt and its repetition
therefore was the strongest kind of a
reflection upon his "honor and Integ
rity," yet the document is still in cir
culation and Judge Parker haa not lift
ed his voice in protest.
So far during the campaign no reflec
tion whatever has been made upon
Judge Parker's honor and integrity,
while on the other hand almost the en
tire attack of our opponents has been
against the honor and integrity of
President Roosevelt.
ADMIRES COURAGE OF DAVIS.
NewVork Sun Compliments Him for
Sticking to Tariff Views.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. (Special.) The
Sun today says editorially:
"Honor to Henry G-. Davis, who, while
the primate on the ticket is declaring
that he finds admirable the St. Louis
declaration that protection ls robbery, has
the courage to stand up before the De
mocracy and renew, without the change of
a.Blngle word, the pledge of devotion to
protection which the venerable man re
corded in his celebrated speech in the Sen
ate In 1883. Mr. Davis has grown older
by more than a fifth of a century, but
his views on protection have changed
not one Iota, and he ls not afraid
to say so now in the face of. the St Louis
platform, of Judge Parker's address of ac
ceptance, and even of the Democratic
campaign text-book itself. We regard the
Incident as one of the bright spots in a
campaign of not too luminous quality."
Still Urging Parker to Speak.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. (Special.)-The
Times today contains the following:
"It was said confidently by Judge Par
ker's friends yesterday that he would
make several speeches during the cam
paign. According to the present plans,
to which Judge Parker, It Is said, has
partly assented, two speeches will be
made In New York City, one to open and
the other to close his speaking campaign.
Two speeches are contemplated up the
state, a speech at Boston Is being urged,
and one each in Baltimore, West Virginia,
Louisville, Indianapolis, Chicago, St.
Louis, Denver and Kansas City, if the
candidate can be persuaded to go that
far West."
URGES WIVES TO STRIKE.
Pennsylvania Woman Proposes New
Way to Secure Political Suffrage.
NEW CASTLE, Pa., Sept. 24. Mrs.
Charles W. Foulks, of this city, principal
speaker at the 21st annual convention of
the Lawrence County Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, has advocated a strike
among the married women If their hus
bands refuse to give them the right of
suffrage so the women can vote down the
liquor traffic. She said:
"If the men do not recognize our right
to political suffrage the women should re
taliate by refusing to cook for the men.
In this manner the men will soon be
brought to time and will recognize a
woman's power."
Boston School Destroyed.
BOSTON, Sept. 24. St Augustine's
parochial school, in South Boston, a
brick structure, was destroyed by fire
this afternoon. It being Saturday, few
persons were in the building. Several
firemen were injured when the roof col
lapsed. Loss estimated at $150,000.
NiEINOiDlY
Direct Primary Law in
Operation in 1906.
NEED NOT BE USED BEFORE
Attorney - General Crawford
Gives His Opinion.
QUOTES TERMS OF THE ACT
Municipal Officers May Be Nomi
nated' by Any Method That Has
Been Pursued in the Past
Voters' Expression Legal.
State's Attorney-General Crawford
gives It as nil opinion that the direct
primary law will not be effective
until 1806, and that therefore tho
impending city elections in Salem,
Oregon City and Baker City may lie
held under the old election forms.
If the advice of the Attorney-General
is to be followed, the Portland
city election In June, 1905, may be
held under the s&me conditions, un
loss the forthcoming session of the
Oregon Legislature amends the direct
primary law so as to make It opera
tive In Portland at that time.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) That
the direct primary law does not go into
operation until 1908, and need not be ob
served in municipal elections prior to that
time, Is the opinion found by Attorney
General Crawford after examining the
question that has recently caused so much
public discussion.
That the direct primary law is now In
effect, Mr. Crawford does not question,
but he says that by its own terms it Is
evident that it was not intended to be
come operative until 1906. He says also
that previous laws governing primary
elections have been repealed and that in
his opinion candidates for municipal of
fices may be nominated by any method
that has been pursued In the past
He believes it will be best to proceed
In accordance with the laws last In force,
not that those laws are now binding, but
because they provide a- good system of
making nominations and the people are
familiar with them. Mr. Crawford be
lieves that any form of nomination "which
results in a free expression from the
voters at tho polls will be upheld as legal.
Section Covering the Case.
. The section of the direct-primary law
which led Attorney-General Crawford to
adopt the view that the act does not go
Into actual operation until 1906 Is sec
tion 41, amending section 2872 of the code,
and reads as follows:
Sec. 2S73. Tho County Cleric shall close all
books of registration for the period of 14 days
at 6 o'clock P. M. on the 65th day before the
regular general election In 1008, and biennially
thereafter; by writing the words "Closed for
fourteen days" in red Ink on the line next
below tho last elector registered In each pre
cinct of the general register. He shall then
Immediately In the Indexed pages In the gen
eral register opposite tho name of each pre
cinct. In writing, certify tho number of eleo
tora registered In that precinct for each party
subject to the provisions of the primary nom
inating elections law, and sign his name and
title and affix the seal of the county thereto;
and he shall Immediately eend to the Secretary
of State, bytelegraph If necessary, a certified
copy of the numbers and totals for each party
for his county: he shall likewise close the
books of the precinct registers, and certify In
each of the precinct registers the total num
ber of electors registered in each precinct for
each of tho parties subject to the primary
nominating elections law, and not cancelled,
and sign tho same with his official title and
affix the seal of the county thereto.
All of said registers shall be reopened by
the Clerk on the 40th day beforo the ensuing
general election In June. 1006, and biennially
thereafter, and remain open until the 15th
day of May, 190G. and biennially thereafter,
when they shall be Anally closed for the en
suing election In the manner above provided.
Plain Intent of the Law.
"Now," says the Attorney-General, "you
can see from this section that the law
did not Intend that the voters should
register their party affilfations until the
Spring of 1906. The closing of the books
for 14. days is required because of the
primary election and the law particularly
refers to 1906 as the first time when this
is to be done. I do not believe it is In
tended that those who register this Fall
should give their party affiliation, though
there is no harm done if they do.
"I am satisfied, too, that there Is no
warrant of law for voters registering a
second time in one year. The existing
law expressly provides that a voter shall
register only once unless he changes his
residence, and in that case he must can
cel his first registration before he regis
ters again.
"I do not believe, either, that it Is either
necessary or that It is contemplated by
law that a man shall at this time add t?
his last regIstratlon the name of the po
litical party to which he belongs. There
would be no particular wrong that I can
see In a man going to the County Clerk
and having his party affiliation written
in after his name on the register, but
there Is no law authorizing It, and In the
view I take of the law It could do no
good. If the nomination of candidates
by direct vote doe? not go into practical
operation until 1906, there ls no reason
why a voter should register his party af
filiation now."
Use of the Party Names.
Attorney-General Crawford believes that
In municipal elections prior to 1906 candi
dates' should be nominated and city elec
tions conducted as they yhave. been in tho
past. .Since the system of choosing party
candidates and party managers by direct
vote does not take effect until 1906, it
follows that until that time the present
party, organizations are entitled .to use
the party names as they have in the past.
"When the new law becomes operative
only those candidates nominated in the
direct primary will be entitled to use the
party name.
Unconstitutional, Says Fulton.
ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 24. United States
Senator Fulton expressed the opinion to
night that Oregon's direct primary law ls
unconstitutional.
"That provision which, requires voters to
announce their political faith alone is suf
ficient to render the law unconstitution
al," declared Senator Fulton "The Con
stitution of the United States provides tho
qualifications of the voter, and the State
Legislature cannot add to nor take from
the qualifications stipulated by the Na
tional Constitution, nor Impose any addi
tional condition to the rght to vote.
"Perhaps, In other respects also the
direct primary law is at variance with the
Constitution, but in requiring voters to
register their political faith it is certainly
unconstitutional. I regard it as a most
unfortunate measure, and am satisfied I
could beat It in the Supremo Court."

FIFTY LIVES LOST
Passenger Trains Meet
Head-On in Tennessee.
SIX SCORE ARE INJURED
Engineer Who Disregarded
Orders Among the Dead.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN ASLEEP
Scenes About the Wreck Are Most
Horrible AH the Passengers In
One of the Coaches, Save
Two, Are Killed.
KNOXVLLLB, Tenn., Sept. 24. Running
on a roadbed in a supposedly high condi
tion of maintenance, and. having about
them 'every safeguard known to a modern
railroad, two trains on the Southern Rail
way carrying heavy lists of passengers
met head-on near Hodges, Tenn., today,
sending 54 people to death and Injuring
130, several of whom will probably die.
Some of the bodies have not yet been re
covered, and many remain unidentified.
This appalling loss of life and maim
ing of the living resulted apparently from
the disregarding of orders given to the two
trains to meet at a station which has lor
a long time been their regular meeting
point. This action on the part, of the en
gineer of the westbound train Is made
more inexplicable by the fact that tho ac
cident happened In broad daylight, and
according to the best Information obtain
able he had the order in a .little frame in
front of him as his engine rushed by the
station, and a mile and a half further on
came upon an eastbound passenger train.
The possibility exists that the engineer
may have been asleep.
The trains were on time, and not making
over 35 miles an hour, yet the impact as
they rounded a curve and came suddenly
upon each other was frightful. Both en
gines and the major portions of both
trains were demolished, and why the or
ders Tver'e disircgardcorr misinterpreted
will probably never be known, as the en
gineers of tho two trains were crushed,
their bodies remaining for hours under the
wreckage of their locomotives.
The collision was between eastbound
passenger No. 13 and westbound passenger
No. 15, from Bristol. No. 12 was a heavy
train, carrying three Pullmans, two day
coaches and mail and baggage-car. No.
15 was a light local train. The greatest
loss of life occurred on the eastbound
train, while on the westbound tralri only
tho engineer and firemen were killed.
Relief Trains Soon on Scene.
Relief trains were dispatched from
Knoxville within an hour, and all the phy
sicians in the vicinity of the wreck were
doing all they could when the local corps
arrived. The first train arrived here from
the scene of the wreck at 4:20 o'clock,
bringing about 70 of the Injured. Six of
the injured aboard had -died while en
route to the city, and after their bodies
were taken oft, the train proceeded to a
point near the general hospital, where a
large force of physicians were ready to
receive the wounded. The next train
from the wreck arrived shortly after S
o'clock. It brought the bodies of 43 dead.
The six others who died en route bring
the list up to 49, and there are at least
six more at the scene of the wreck, none
of the bodies of. the trainmen having yet
been recovered.
John W. Brown, of Rogersville, Tenn.,
a newspaper man, was in the coach of the
westbound train. "When the fearful jolt
came, he said, all the seats in. the car
were torn loose and people and seats were
hurled to the front end of the car. "When
he recovered from the shock he heard the
screams and groans of the Injured and
dying In every direction.
Sight Is Horrible.
"I left the car," said Mr. Brown, "as
soon as I could, and walked to the main
.part of the wreck. It was the most horri
ble sight I ever witnessed. I saw a wo
man pinioned by a piece of split, timber
w;hich had gone completely through her
body. A little child, quivering In death's
agony, lay beneath the woman. I saw
tho child die, and within a few feet of
her lay a woman's head, the decapitated
body being several feet away. Another
little girl whose body was fearfully man
gled was plteously calling for her mother.
I have since learned that she was Lucille
Conner, of Knoxvllle, and that both of
her parents were killed.' I heard one
woman, terribly mangled, praying ear
nestly to be spared for her children, but
death ensued In a few minutes. Both en
gines and all of the coaches of 'No. 15 were
demolished, the smoker and baggage-car
completely so. The sleepers remained on
the track undamaged. Both engines lay
to the north of the track, Jammed together
into one mass of ruins. The cars which
were demolished were piled on the
wrecked engine."
Congressman H. R. Gibson, from the
Second Congressional District of Tennes
see, was a passenger in a day coach on
the eastbound train. He and another man,
whose name Is not known, were the only
persons tq escape alive from the demol
ished car. Congressman Gibson was en
"route to Russellvllle, Tenn., to deliver a
political address.

Chief Clerk Chance Will Represent
- the Postal Department.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Sept. 24. Mrritt O. Chance.
Chief Clerk of the Postofflce Department,
was today designated to represent that
Department on the Lewis and Clark
Government Board. It had been expected
John B. Brownlow would secure this ap
pointment, but Postmaster-General Payne
was displeased with Brownlow's conduct
on the St Louis Board and refused again
to recognize him.
iSvery member of the St. Louis Board
served without compensation, but was
permitted to appoint an assistant on sal
ary. Brownlow appointed his son who,
it is said, was one of the most active
workers In the preparation of the Gov
ernment exhibit. Payne, however, round
ly condemned Brownlow for appointing
his son, especially at a time when the
Department was under Investigation.
Payne even went so far as to insist young
Brownlow should resign. To this Brown
low, senior, replied: "He won't resign,
but I will. If nepessary."
The matter was compromised today by
the appointment of Chance. The sympa
thies of all the members of the Govern
ment Board are with Brownlow. They
allege Payne's action was without justi
fication. HER CONDITION IS UNCHANGED

H FOR PEACE
Roosevelt Will Call In
ternational Congress;
HAGUE AS MEETING PLAGE
Request of the Interparliamen
tary Union Is Honored.
DELEGATES ARE RECEIVED
President Shares Their Desire That
Arbitration and Other Questions
Not Settled at the First Con
ference Be Taken Up.
WASHINGTON, Sept 24. President
Roosevelt announced this afternoon that
at an early date he would ask the na
tions of the world to join In a second
congress at The Hague for the promotion
of arbitration.
The occasion for the announcement was
the reception by the President of the dele
gates to the Interparliamentary Union,
.which recently held a session at St
Louis. At that session the following reso
lution was adopted unanimously:
"Whereas, enlightened public opinion
and the spirit of modern civilization alike
demand that controversies between na
tions be settled toythe same manner as
disputes between individuals are settled,
that ls, by the judgment of courts in ac
cordance with recognized principles of
law;
"This conference requests that the sev
eral governments send delegates to an
International conference to be con
vened at a time and place to be agreed
on by them, for the consideration of
the following questions:
"The negotiation of arbitration treaties
between the nations " represented at the
conference to be convened.
"The advisability of creating a Con
gress of Nations, to convene periodically
for the discussion of International ques
tions. And. respectfully and cordially requests
the President of the United States to In
vite all the nations to send representa
tives to such a conference."
Received With Hearty Applause.
The President's acceptance, of the terms
of the resolution was received by those
present with enthusiastic applause. At
2:30 P. M. about 150 delegates to the Inter
parliamentary Union, accompanied by
perhaps a score of women, and headed by
Representative Bartholdt, of St. Louis,
president of the Union, marched as a
body to the White House. They assem
bled In the East Room corridor. Ten
minutes later the President, accompanied
by Secretary Loeb, Colonel Charles S.
Bromwell, his military aid; Major
Charles McCauley and two or three
military and naval attaches, was
ushered into the presence of the dis
tinguished assemblage of legislators
and parliamentarians.
Representative Bartholdt Introduced the
assemblage to the President and stated in
brief the object of their meeting. Mr.
Bartholdt said:
"The American people, being committed
to many precedents to the principles of in
ternational arbitration, It Is the belief of
those present that the people, Irrespective
of party, would applaud your taking the
Initiative in the convening of a second
conference of governments which we hope
and trust would result In the completion
of the work begun at The Hague In the
negotiation of further arbitration treaties
and In the establishment of an Interna
tional parliament for the consideration of
questions which are of common concern
to all."
Mr. Bartholdt then introduced to
President Roosevelt, Dr. Albert Go
bat, of Switzerland, general secretary
of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, who
presented formally to President Roose
velt the resolution of the union re
questing him to call a second confer
ence. Dr. Gobat addressed the Presi
dent In French, with which the Presi
dent is familiar.
Dr. Gobat expressed the hope that
the President would comply with the
wishes of the Inter-Parliamentary
Union and that success would crown
his initiative. In response to Dr. Go
bat's speech. President Roosevelt de
livered the following address:
Address of Roosevelt.
"Gentemen of the Inter-Parliamentary
Union I greet you with profound
pleasure as representatives, in a spe
cial sense, of the great international
movement for peace and good will
among the nations of the earth. It
is a matter of gratification to all
Americans that we have had the honor
of receiving you here as the Nation'3
guests. You are men skilled In the
practical work of government In your
several countries, and this fact adds
weight to your championship of the
cause of international justice. I thank
you for your kind allusions to what
the Government of the United States
has accomplished for the policies you
have at heart, and I assure you that
this Government's attitude will con
tinue unchanged in reference thereto.
We are e.ven now taking steps to se
cure arbitration treaties with all other
governments which are willing to en
ter Into them with us.
"In response to your resolutions, I
shall, at an early date, ask the other
nations to join In a second congress at
The Hague. (Applause.) I feel as I am
sure you do, that our efforts should
take the shape of pushing forward
toward completion the work already
begun at The Hague, and that what
ever Is now done should appear not
as something divergent therefrom, but
as a continuance thereof. At the first
conference at The Hague several ques
tions were left unsettled, and It was
expressly provided that there should
be a second conference. A reasonable
time has elapsed, and I feel that your
