THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 8, 1906:
8
CHAUFFEUR HELD
FOR KILLING BOY
William McCallig, Who Ran
Down Ellis Korklin, Must
Answer.
HIS GROSS CARELESSNESS
Coroner's Jury Has No Hesitancy In
Accusing Driver of Auto Which
Crushed Out the Life of
12-Year-Old Lad.
(.ROSS CARELKSSNKSS CHAROKD.
A Coroner's Jury finds that Bills
Korklin. the 12-year-old boy who was
killed by an automobile Friday night,
came to his death by the gros care
lessness of William McCalHf, the
chauffeur.
McCalU? charged with manslaughter,
but released on bull pending a prelim
inary hearing before Judge Cameron.
Chief Orltimacher will issue strin
gent orders to compel automobile driv
ers to heed ordinances in regard to
and other requirements.
Small number of accidents by auto
mobiles in Portland caused ordinances
to be disregarded in the matter of
speed.
Many arrests have been made, but
only on misdemeanor charges. Sic
Calltg is the first auto driver to be
charged with a felony.
The only serious accident previous
to the death of young Korklin was in a
collision between a wood wagon and
an automobile driven by "Sketch
DaWfi near the Twelve-Mile House last
Summer, when DavU and two women
onipanlona were battered and bruised.
A Coroner's jury in the case of Ellis
Korklin, the 12-year-old boy who was hit
and instantly killed by a a)-horsepower
automobile Friday night, decided on a
verdict at 4 o'clock yesterday that Kork
lin came to hiSv death through the gross
carelessness of the chauffeur, William
McCallig, who. although not exceeding the
speed limit, had neglected to sound an
alarm or to keep his forward lights burn
ing. The Jury was made uf) of A. B. Stew
art. M. W. Rath. P. Murray, J. H. Mc
Bride. C. Silver and P. Ehrsteln. A great
deal of testimony was taken by the jury".
The children who had been playing with
little Korklin just before his death told
how the automobile had run him down
without warning. Others testified that
there were no light burning on the ma
chine and that not the slightest signal
was given before the child was killed. It
was brought out that if lights had been
burning the auto could have been seen at
least three blocks away, and death would
probably have been averted.
No Hesitancy In Verdict.
No hesitancy was expressed in return
ing a verdict finding McCallig guilty of
gross negligence. The only wonder ex
pressed was that others had not been
killed by the big machines tearing around
the city at a great rate of speed.
Chief Grltxmacher is willing to take
drastic measures to prevent accidents of
a similar nature, and he will issue an or
der to the captains of police requiring
ttiem to see that the speed limit is not
beinK disregarded. Captain Bailey, of the
second relief, has made relentless war
fare on automobllists with speed procliv
ities, and many arrests have resulted
from the crusade against them. As no
one had. heretofore, been killed, the city
ordinances have not been strictly en
forced. But now. says Chief Grltzmach
er. chauffeurs will either obey the ordi
nances or go to jail.
Charged With Manslaughter.
McCallig, who when arrested was
charged by Captain Slover with man
slaughter, was released by Judge Cam
eron yesterday. His preliminary hearing
will probably be held tomorrow.
McCallig has always borne the reputa
tion of a careful driver, but in neglect
ing to keep his lights burning PPMay
night suffered the consequences of the
one mistake he has made.
The two women who were in the auto
mobile when the accident occurred made
themselves known yesterday, but said
they had no intention of keeping their
names from the police. Both women
Mrs. R. Politl. living at Third and Mar
ket street, and Mrs. Ida Smith, living at
Seventh and Clay said yesterday that
they remained at the scene of the acci
dent until the body was removed by the
coroner. Mrs. Smith said that she held
the he1 of the dying bny until he had
expired.
Only Previous Serious Accident.
Previous to the Korklin accident Friday
night Injuries caused by automobiles were
few and far between. Last Summer
Sketch" Davis, a chauffeur, in company
with two women, while driving an auto
to Portland from the Twelve Mile House,
collided with a wood wagon and wag
thrown from his machine. Davis was
not badly hurt but the two women re
ceived serious Injuries and were removed
to Good Samaritan Hospital, where, after
prolonged suffering, they recovered.
Policomen have made frequent effort
to enforce the speed ordinance, especially
on the crowded streets of the -city. De
tectives have been stationed at street
corners with stop watches to take the
time of passing machines. As a result,
many arrests have been made, almoftt
every owner of a machine in Portland
having had to pay a tine at one time or
another. That no other fatalities have
occurred is due. It Is said, not to the care
fulness of drivers but to the sprlghtllnes?
of pedestrians.
HOT WAVE IS UNUSUAL
Rarely Does the Thermometer Go So
High Early In July.
Statistics complied by Forecaster Beals.
of the United States Weather Bureau,
shows the present hot wave to be some
thing out of the ordinary for so early in
the month. The hottest July day regis
tered previous to last Tuesday, when the
thermometer went up to 101. was on July
23. 1891. when the gauge in the weather
office registered 102 degrees.
9tnce that time there has been only one
other instance of the heat registering
near that figure, which was on July 25.
1904. when the 100-degree mark was
reached.
The figures for July during the past
ten years for the hottest ten days of the
month show that the mercury has risen
to 99 on only two occasions, which were
July 2 of the present year and July 8 of
1905, and these are the only Instances out
side of the century marks where the
gauge has registered over 95.
The hot waves noticed In this vicinity
during July for the past ten year; have
been recorded at the Weather Bureau as
follows: July 7 to 13. 1896, the tempera
tures for each day were 79, 85, 92, 94, 9S,
and 82; 1896, from July 14 to 20, 91, 92, 89.
87, 91, 90 and 93; 1897, from July 9 to lo.
S4, 92. S3. 78, 80. 76 and 73; 1S98, July 25
to August 3. 70. 76, 85, 89, 93, 96. 93, 95,
89 and 73; J899. Julv 23 to 29, 77. 77. 88. 93.
91, 87 and 77: 1900. July 18 to 24. 84, 89. 90,

73, 75, 74, 70 and 71; 19CC July 17 to 23.
81, 94. 95, 84, 79, 79 and 82; 1903, July 15 to
21, 83, 84 79, 78, 78. 91 and 81; 1904. July 19

3 to 9, 81, 79, 79, 77. 85, 99 and 83. The
temperatures during the past seven days
of July were: 1, S8; 2, 99; 3, 101; 4, 83;
5, 88: 6, 89. and 7. 87.
LOSS IS DUE THURSDAY
New Head of United Railways Com
Ing to Portland.
C. E. Loss, head of the C. E- Loss
Company, the purcnaser of the United
Railways Company, will arrive in Port
land next Thursday morning to per
sonally look over the property and
make arrangements for its manage
ment. He will be accompanied to
Portland by H. St. John Dlx, who has
gone to California to join Mr. Loss.
Just before Mr. Dlx left Portland, the
first meeting of directors of the United
Railways under the new regime was
called, and the resignation of Mr.
Evans as president was accepted and
W. L. Benham was chosen to succeed
him as head of the United Railways
Company. The new directory of the
United Railways Company follows: W.
I, Benham. H. St. John Dlx, W. T. Muir,
W. D. Larrabee and J. W. Evans.
Further changes in the official list
and announcements of the policy of the
new owners await the coming of Mr.
Loss.
HARD TO GET LABORERS.
J. L. Peterson Tells of Difficulties
in Securing Men.
J. L. Peterson, who is in the employ
of the Columbia Valley Railroad Com
pany as escort for laborers from Port
land to the camps on the north bank
of the Columbia, returned to the city
yesterday after taking ten men out to
the Cold Springs camp with the report
that eight of the number left him be
fore reaching the work and he only
landed two of the original number at
the scene of operations.
Mr. Peterson says that this is the
usual result of his "personally con
ducted" excursions out of Portland. He
finds laborers start for the work with
good grace, but change their minds In
most cases before they reach the job
and take French leave. Out of over 500
men he has taken to the Cold Springs
camp since work started this season,
not more than 30 are working today.
Mr. Peterson says that laborers are
getting very scarce in the city and after
making the rounds of the employment
offices yesterday he found a smaller
number of men available than at any
previous time this season.
The necessity of sending a man along
with ? crowd of laborers, after they
are given passes on the railroad, is
apparent. The duty of this cicerone is
to see that the laborers do not straggle
hut are brought to the camp where they
are needed and put to work. Mr. Peter
son takes his duties so seriously that
he has resorted to force to compel his
men to stay with him until their des
tination is reached. On several occa
sions he has pulled off his coat and
whipped men who tried to desert. Only
in tnls way could he retain his author
ity over them.

LAWS OF OREGON
J. J. Haynes on Initiative and
Direct Primary.
STATE AHEAD OF OTHERS
Former New York Lawyer and Poli
tician Says Citizens Show Their
Superiority to Those of
Other Commonwealths.
With the coming of D. J. Haynes to
Oregon, Portland has gained a substan
tial citizen and lawyer, and the Republi
can Dartv a stanch sunDorter and worker.
P4r. Haynes has been especially prominent
In the criminal courts of New York, his
former home, and has taken active part
in the politics of Greater New York, his
intimate acquaintance with political meth
ods in the Empire State making his views
on the situation there of particular Inter
est. It was he who answered the attack
on Sheriff Stevens made by Rabbi Wise,
thereby turning many Word followers
Into the right path before starting to the
polls; and in the last number of the Pa
cific Monthly he makes bold and unques
tioned answer to C. E. S. Wood's tirade
against tariff under the head "Protection
a Necessity." Mr. Haynes has already
proved himself an able writer and cogent
reasoner. and it is a fact that he is an
eloquent public speaker, having gained a
wide reputation as an orator in the many
Presidential campaigns in which he has
participated. That he is a brave man is
vouchsafed by the fact that he published
a Republican paper in Alabama imme
diately after the war, coming through the
many gun-plays of that period unscathed.
Impressed by Primary Law.
The direct primary law of Oregon im
presses Judge Haynes most favorably, and
he has made a deep study of its advan
tages sinco coming to Portland. The
panic that such a law would cause in the
political camps of New York is pictured
by him in graphic terms. Asked his opin
ion of the new primary law, Mr. Haynes
said:
In my Judgment it provides an improved
method of selecting candidates for office.
By the Sd plan he who could beat placate
the bosses, manipulate the convention dele
gates and court the favor of corporate in
terests was surest of securing the nomina
tion. The people had little or no voice in
the matter. A few self-ordained bosses
would combine, name the friend of one
for a particular place on the ticket, the
chum of another for second place, and the
representative of some corporate interest
for third, and so on, regardless of the hon
esty or competency of the candidates. When
the ticket was thus agreed upon, party
loyalty, rather than public approval, was
relied upon to secure its election. If it did
not command sufficient popular support. It
was not deemed bad politics to purchase a
few votes to make success doubly sure.
Men thus nominated and elected very nat
urally felt that their allegiance was due to
those instrumental in electing the ticket,
and hence stood ready to serve them rather
than the people.
Under the primary law the people may.
and they should, select every candidate for
office, from United States Senator down.
If a dishonest or incompetent man seeks a
nomination they have the power to decline
to permit him to burden his party or hazard
the public weal by becoming a candidate
for office. In other words, he may seek
the nomination, but when his neighbors veto
his aspirations his race has been run and
he steps down and out.
The salient feature of the primary law is
that which requires the man elected to of
fice to make good to the people. Under
the old system, an office-holder was an
swerable to the politicians only, they being
the source of his power. Under the new
law he must answer to the source of his
power, the people, hence "ne naturally strives
to merit their approval In his official acts,
well knowing that without It he cannot be
re-elected.
For instance. If the official acts of a
United States Senator meet the approval of
his constituents, no combination of bosses
or corporate Interests can possibly compass
his defeat, when he seeks re-election. But
If he neglects the people to serve tkelr ene
mies, no combination on earth can re-elect
him under the new law; for that law makes
the people supreme, and neither the cunning
of politicians nor the gold of millionaires
can deceive or buy them.
Under the old plan, political trickery be
came so prevalent that almost everybody
impugned the motives nd questioned the
honesty and integrity of an office-seeker to
such an extent that the insignia of office
became a badge of dishonor. While under
the new law the nomination and election
of a man to office signifies that the people
have pronounced him honest and capable,
and his symbol of office becomes a badge
of honor.
The effect upon the politics of the State
of New York, should a similar law be en
acted there, would be to create a panic In
the political camp, for New York is one
of the worst bow-ridden states in the Union.
When an office Is to be filled there, the
bosses get together and make up the ticket,
usually selecting the men upon whom they
I can rely to do their bidding. Tne people
are not consulted, and -that applies to both
the Republican and Democratic parties
alike. Piatt, Odcll, Tim Woodruff, Jim
Clarkson and a few up-state politicians ab
solutely control the Republican machine of
New York and dictate Just who shall be
nominated for each and every office in the
gift of the people, and also who shall be
appointed to the various Government posi
tions. When a convention Is to be held the
word goes out and thousands of voters
swarm from the custom-house, Sub-Treasury
and other Government, state and city of
fices, and dominate the election of dele
gates. The common people take no part In
the matter. If asked to attend the election
of convention delegates, they answer: "Oh,
what's the use? The ticket's cut and
dried, and we'd only show what fools we
Judge D. J. Haynes.
are by pretending to take part in the elec
tion." So it goes by default, and the bosses
chuckle at "what fools we mortals be."
I purpqsely left Senator Depew's nam
out of the list, for the reason that he Is
not now and never was a boss. He's only
the puppet of the other fellows. Left to
himself, Depew could never have been
elected to the Senate or any other office
from New York, for he has no personal fol
lowing whatever. But when there was a
Senator to elect the: railroad and insurance
interests of New York were consulted be
cause of their liberal contributions to the
Republican campaign fund, and they se
lected Depew, who was then the president
of the New York Central and the pensioner
of the Equitable Life Association.
Senator Piatt is president and chief own
er of the United States Express Company,
and it's no secret in New York that he
and Depew are kept in the Senate to look
after the interests of the railroad, insur
ance and express companies, rather than
those of the people, and being answerable to
those interests only, they guard them sa
credly, well knowing that their seats in
the Senate are secure only so long as those
interests dominate the politics of the Em
pire State.
Charles F. Murphy. State Senator McCar
ren, August Belmont, Big Tim Sullivan, the
Congressman, and Little Tim Sullivan, the
Alderman; D. Cady Herrick, of Albany, and
a few of their kind dominate Democratic
politics in New York.
As to Mayor McClellan, he's the Depew
of New York Democracy. When Richard
Croker first resurrected McClellan from the
obscurity that concealed him from public
view, he was but a newspaper reporter.
Tammany Hall agreed to advance him, con
ditioned that he'd be submissive to its will
and do as it dictated. Both have kept the
compact.
If our new primary law could be enacted
in New York, such men as those now domi
nating both parties would be relegated to
that obscurity from which they should nev
er have emerged. The people would then
select their own rulers and New York would
again take front rank in prominence and
statesmanship, from which it has been so
long wrongfully kept by political bosses and
corporate greed.
In conclusion I take pleasure in saying
that Oregon, undoubtedly, today, with her
initiative and referendum, direct primary
law, and the resultant method of electing
United States Senators In effect by the di
rect vote of the people, shows the intelli
gence, virility and honesty of her citizen
ship to be superior to that of any other
state.
Mr. and Mr?. Haynes came to Portland
through the persuasion of their son and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. K. S. Brvin, and
they are convinced that the many ad
vantages of this section were not misrep
resented by their enthusiastic kins-people,
but that Portland has the greatest
future of any city on the Pacific Coasts
Making this their permanent home, Mr.
Haynes will continue his practice of law
In this state.
HILL, SELECTS HEADS FROM RIVAL.
RAILROAD.
Theories as to His Reason for Going
Ontslde His Own Lines
for Chiefs.
The resignation of A. L Craig t be
come passenger traffic manager of the
Great Northern has started talk among
railroad men who are trying to figure out
the rather remarkable Hill policy in the
selection of men for the heads of the dif
ferent departments of the Great North
ern. Why does Mr. Hill go to other lines
for talent, rather than promote some of
his own men? This is the question that
Is proving a puzzler in railroad circles,
not only in the Northwest, but In St.
Paul and the East as well.
During the past 18 months, the follow
ing traffic officials have resigned: J. W.
Blabon. fourth vice-president, in charge
of traffic; F. B. Clarke, general traffic
manager; J. C. Eden, assistant general
traffic manager, and F. I. "Whitney, pas
senger traffic manager.
All these Juicy plums have fallen to
Harriman men. The latest recruit from
the Harriman staff of traffic officials is
A. Craig. The inference Portlanders
are drawing is that Mr. Hill seems to ei-
I hlbit a lack of confidence in the men he
has educated.
Mr. Hill has been quoted as saying he
had surrounded himself with the most
efficient corps of men in the railway serv
ice in America. The department heads
were dubbed "Hill prodigies. ' and the
St. Paul headquarters were pointed out as
the "great railroad school of America,"
where the only complete railroad educa
tion was to be obtained, and where favor
itism was unknown.
If merit alone is necessary, it is con
sidered remarkable that the products of
his own system of training should be
overlooked when heads of departments
are wanted. It is said that the Hill lines
are undergoing a process of "harmoniz
ing." which has been under way for the
past year and a half, and the end is not
yet.
Some give the opinion that Mr. Hill has
reacbed that age when he no longer takes
that Interest in the personnel of his road
that he has heretofore exhibited. Others
fxplain that, with the placing of Ben
Campbell in the office of fourth vice
president and making him the active head
of the traffic department, Mr. .Campbell,
an old Harriman man, is taking advan
tage of his position to freeze out all of
the Great Northern officials and to re
place them with his friends.
Legal War on at Cape Horn.
The war between the opposing Hill and
Harriman roads on the north bank for
the possession of Cape Horn, the famous
landmark of the Columbia River, was con
tinued yesterday before Judge McCredle
In the Clarke County Superior Court, The
decision on the arguments presented has
not yet been made.
The action was brought on by injunc
tions asked by each of the contestants to
restrain the other from further work on
the two tunnels which are being driven
from either side of the cliff. The Injunc
tions were set aside and the case set for
trial on its merits. The showing made
by each side consisted of records showing
how the title of each to the rock was
gained. The records of both sides were
attacked in the arguments before the
court.
In case the Harriman side wins, the
Portland & Seattle survey will be crowded
Into the river, while if the Hill road is
given the decision, the Columbia Valley
Railroad will be placed way up on the
hillside. Both are now building tunnels
through what each claims is its own right
of way.
Traction Line Plans Work.
A large force of men is to be put to
work at once by the Willamette Valley
Traction Company at the Salem end of
the Portland-Salem electric line, with
the avowed intention of complet
ing the road from Salem to Chemawa
in time for the State Fair next Sep
tember. The line for this distance will
be operated with temporary equipment
and travel between Salem and the fair
grounds will be handled.

STETSON TO BLAME
Officers Held Responsible for
Stanford Collision.
CAPTAIN IS SUSPENDED
Inspectors Edwards and Puller Find
Captain and Mate Guilty of
Negligence and Revoke
Their Licenses.
The findings In the recent inquiry Into
the causes leading up to the collision at
sea off the mouth of the Columbia River
between the barkentine Jane L,. Stanford
and the steam schooner m. B. Stetson were
announced by the United States inspec
tors, Edwards and Fuller, yesterday.
Trie Government officials concluded
their examination of the officers of both
vessels Thursday, but could not give out
the result of their decision until copies
of the same had been received by the
masters of the vessels involved in the
accident.
After summing up the evidence intro
duced by both sides, Inspectors Edwards
and Fuller came to the conclusion that
Captain Bonifield, of the Stetson, and his
chief officer, William T. Tribble. wee at
fault, and the result of their ruling places
both these officers on the suspension list
for different periods. Captain Bonifield
has his license suspended for one year,
and First Officer Tribble Is given six
months before he can again be permit
ted to officiate as a licensed officer n
the sea.
The evidence Introduced at the trial of
the officers tended to show that negli
gence had been displayed by the officers
of the Stetson in the matter of displaying
the proper lights, which Is claimed to
have been directly responsible for the col
lision. The captain of the Stetson is also
said to have violated the following ma
rine statute; "When a steam vessel and
a sailing vessel are proceeding n such
direction as to involve a riBk of collision,
the steam vessel shall keep out of the
way of the sailing vessel." Another count
against the skipper of the Stetson Is
that he claimed the weather on the night
of June 12, when the collision occurred,
was dark and stormy, whereas the evi
dence introduced by the Weather Bureau
officials tended to show that nothing out
of the ordinary was noticeable about the
climatic and weather conditions of tiat
particular night.
It was also claimed by the officers of
the Stanford that the Stetson sailed away
without making any effort to ascertain
the extent of the damage done to their
vessel, and Captain Bonifield, while part
ly admitting this, stated that his vesael
was also damaged to the extent of $500.
and that his lumber cargo had shifted,
which caused him to believe that his ves
sel was in a perilous condition.
Captain Thomas Molestead and others
of the Stanford were exonerated, and It
is likely that the owners of their vessel
will bring ribel proceedings against the
owners of the Stetson, and it is also nnt
without the bounds of probability that
the officers of the delinquent vessel may
be prosecuted by the Government, for the
Stanford was shown to have been left in
a perilous condition, and had she not been
picked up by the tug Wallula, she would
probably have drifted ashore and been
wrecked.

Caught by Revolving Shaft.
Saturday morning at about 8 o'clock
W. H. Tost, engineer of the sawmill
of the Cone Lumber Company at Lent?,
was caught by a revolving shaft and
severely injured, narrowly escaping
with his life. Mr. Yost reached over a
shaft with an oil can to oil a bearing,
when his clothes were caught by a
shaft key. In a flash the engineer was
drawn up the swiftly-revolving shaft
and was swiftly carried around it sev
eral times, and, his clothes giving way,
he was thrown to one side. The large
governor belt was thrown off, with the
result that the engine ran away, and
caused a fly-wheel to go to pieces. But
for the arrival of H. P. Cone the engine
might have torn Itself to pieces. He
shut off the steam In time to prevent
further disruption. Engineer Yost
was badly bruised, but will recover.
