New York Politics in State of
Turmoil Over Indepen
dents, HEARST MEN OPTIMISTIC
' Kecord of Inconsistency Shown by
Parly During Three Years' En
deavor to Capture ffices
in the Kmplre State.
NEW YORK. Oct. 12. (Special.)
The Inilupenilence League Is keeping up
Its record of consistent inconsistency,
und political prophets are wondering
where it will Bet off.
Here is thj record for three years:
1001 Alliance with Odell oa Assem
blymen and Aldermen; Murphy pictured
in stripes.
1006 Alliance with Murphy and Con
ner's. Main batteries directed against
Governor Jiughea and his friend, Her
bert Parsons, chairman of New York
County committee: Parsons scheduled
as the -'friend of the trusts" because his
father. John K. Parsons, has been the1
main legal adviser of the Sugar Trust
for years. -
1907 Conners and Murphy repudiat
ed. Alliance formed with Parsons, on
county ticket for Assemblymen and
Aldermen. Murphy again the bad. bad
man of politics. Parsons, by the way.
is the bitter enemy of Odell, and has
captured the New York organization
which Odell controlled in 190J.
The Republicans and Democrats have
the same candidates for Judges of the
Court of Appeals, the only state officials
to be elected this year. The League de
nounces the two Bartells as "the prod
uct of, corrupt deal between representa
tives of trust-controlled "plunderbunds."
and also indulges in other awful remarks
along the same line.
Bvit In New York County the League
Is tied p with the Republican "plunder
bimd," while upstage it is working hand
In hand with the Democratic' "plunder
bund ' In certain rural counties.
Ihmsen Wants Shrievalty.
Max Ihmsen, who heads the fusion
ticket In New York County. for Sheriff,
has been Hearst's campaign manager
ever since the National fight of liHU. No
body knows why he wants to be Sheriff,
but apparently he does.
This combination ticket, toy the way,
has caused the greatest political snarl on
record. . pid-time Republicans declare
they will not stand for Ihmsen, and are
preparing to slash him with great en
thusiasm. On the other hand, "the MoClellan men
will . knife' the county ticket named by
Murphy. The Mayor . and his followers
hate Hearst and Ihmsen with a consum
. lug hatred, but they also despise and
fear Murphy.
Henry Koehler. who holds a position in
the Department of Water Supply, aptly
described the situation today from the
McClellan point of view:
"We have our choice between a ticket
named by Hearst and a ticket named by
Murphy," he said; "Hearst wants to
drive us out of office: Murphy seeks to
eliminate us from politics.
"It reminds me of the story of the old
darky preacher who cheered up his con
gregation by declaring, 'There are two
roads in life, and everybody must take
one of them. The first Is the broad and
straight path that loads to perdition, and
the other la the crooked and narrow path
that leads to eternal salvation,' where
upon a darky brother arose to remark,
In that case, this nigger will take to
' the woods.
"And I think," added Mr. Koehler,
"that we McClellan men will be driven
to the tall timber before the campaign
is over."
. Turn Down Hearst Men.
All of the Hearst Aldermen who have
furnished innocent amusement in and
aout the C1t- Hall during the past two
years, have all been turned down. The
only officeholder In Greater New York
who has been honored with a renomlna
tlon Is Register A. J. Boulton, of Brook
lyn. In the borough of churches, by the
way. the League is fighting both Mc
Oarren and Woodruff. It is a redhot
campaign, and the average Brooklyn
voter Is such a peculiar person that no
body can tell what he will do. In con
sequence, therefore, the League leaders
are claiming an overwhelming victory.
Tn 1S05 Hearst carried the borough by
17.000. The combined McClellan and
Hearst vote was 88.000 more than that
polled by Ivlns, nominee of the Republi
cans. Last year when Hearst had the
two nominations he only lead Hughes
bv 6000.
With the peculiar system of political
calculation In vogue in Independence
League circles. It is perfectly clear to
enthusiastic Hearst men that if their
party lost 83.000 votes in one county last
year, they are absolutely certain to win
more than that this time.
Make Aggressive Campaign.
The two League candidates for seats
In the Court of Appeals are making an
aggressive campaign. They are sched
uled to make speeches all over the state,
and promise to make violent attack
upon the present Judiciary system.
"I believe the League ticket will
poll a large vote. Do not care to give
any figures," Is the way former Gov
ernor B. B. Odell, Jr., puts It.
"The League will make a pitiful
showing. Most of its former support
ers have drifted back Into the old par
ties." This Is the expressed opinion
ef State Senator B. W. Wilcox of
Auburn.
'We will carry the State by 75,000
ever the fusion ticket of the Bosses."
Thi is what anybody will tell you at
the League headquarters In the Gilsey
house.
"The League may get 15,000 votes;
It will probably be less than that," is
how Geo. N. Palmer, who will be the
next Democratic leader In -the As
sembly, puts It.
The Hearst people hope to poll over
100. 000 votes, and prove to the Demo
cratic National Convention that the
League must be consulted In the next
campaign. Whether the combination
In thW county has helped or Injured
the crusade Is still a disputed ques
tion. Lineup I'ndcr Old Banner.
Many persons flgure that the deal
will disgust the faithful followers of
the new organization, and that they
will line up under their old party
banner. On the other hand the
League leaders are thoroughly certain
that their adherents will enthusias
tically rally under any old flag that
they are told to accept aa their stan
dard. ...
It la Charles F. Murphy's turn to
get "canned" this year, . Already the
League orators are preparing cutting
things to say about the man whom
they did not dare to attack last year.
All of which adds interest to the
situation, but It would surprise no
body If the old line Republicans and
anti-Murphy Democrats went fishing
together, on election day.

MUST GIVE NOTICE OF WRECKS
State Commission of Montana Enforces-
New Law.
HELENA, Mont., Oct. 12. (Special.)
Montana railroads must obey the law rel
ative to the posting of delayed trains and
the reporting of accidents in which lives
have been lost or property of the value
of $2000 destroyed, or they will be prose
cuted. This is the essence of two ulti
matums Just Issued by the State Board of
Railroad Commissioners.
The order recites that the Great North
ern, and Northern Pacific Railway Com
panies have failed to furnish prompt
telegraphic) notification of wrecks or acci
dents, and declares that unless the car
riers hereafter respect said law and reg
ulation action. will be taken through the
Attorney-General to punish any road fail
ing to comply. Copies of the order have
been sent to all roads In the state.
The other order states that railroads
have not only Ignored . ti.e law relative
to the posting of notices at all stations,
but also of notifying central telephone
stations lrt cities where such exist, and
where there Is a telephone connection.
The State Board has received a report
from H. 1. ' Horn, ' the general manager
of the Northern Pacific, to the effect that
where, on September 26, between Billings
and Helena there ware on sidetracks 1003
care of coal, on October 4 this- number
had been reduced to 64, and that In the
Billings and Livingston yards, where on
September K rbere were 1537 carloads of
general westbound freight, of which 80
per cent was coal, on October 4 there re
mained only 1028.
Mr. Horn was In Helena early in the
week for the purpose of conferring with
the Commissioners, who had made an In
vestigation and found that there were sev
eral thousand carloads of coal destined
for 'Washington, Oregon and Montana
points on the Billings and Laurel tracks.
The Commission requeued the president
of -the road to clear the congeston and
thus avert a fuel famine. He sent Mr.
Horn west and that official has filed the
report referred to with the Commission.
The Commissioners are highly gratified
at the action of the Northern Pacific, and
believe that another tie-up of coal will
not result, thus avoiding a famine this
Winter.

HIDES BEDDING
Jealous Husband Scares Wife
Into Illness.
MRS. KHURY SEEKS DIVORCE i
Trouble in Syrian Household Aired
in Court and Warrants Issued
for Both ' Parties Involved
in Suit for Separation.
That her husband, Najib Khury, at
tempted repeatedly to force poison upon
her, and threatened to send her to the
insane asylum In order to secure control
of her property... are among the charges
made by Mrs. Louise Khury in an answer
to the divorce suit brought by her hus
band. Mrs. Khury will contest the suit
and for that purpose filed her answer In
the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Khury charges that on the second
day after her marriage her husband de
manded that she deed her property to
him, and threatened her with bodily harm
when she refused. Failure to support
his family is among the charges made by
.the wife- in her answer. . '
On Christmas day last year Khury with
a chair attempted to kill one of his step
children, alleges Mrs. Khury. She says
she protected her child by receiving the
blow on her shoulder and sustained a
dangerous wound because of it. They
have one child, aged T months, and Mrs.
Khury alleges that her husband has made
repeated attempts to kidnap it.
Jealousy, false accusations of infidelity,
and other acts of cruelty add to the
charges in Mrs. Khury's answer. She
complains that on one occasion her hus
band sought to prove that his suspicions
were well founded by hiding himself be
tween the mattresses on her bed, and
when he revealed himself; frightened
her so badly she was compelled to sum
mon a physician.
The couple was married in Portland
about two years ago. Khury is a Syrian.
His wife caused his arrest early in the
Summer on a charge of failure to sup
port her. When the divorce complaint
was filed by Khury recently the Deputy
Sheriffs were seeking both Khury and
his wife at the same time. Khury was
wanted for violation of an order of the
County Court that he pay his wife $30 a
month for her support and Mrs. Khury
was wanted Jto accept service of the
divorce summons.
Charging gross drunkenness and non
support, Mrs. Theresa Wood yesterday
afternoon began suit In the Circuit Court
for a divorce from Charles E. Wood.
Mrs. Wood also asks $30 a month ali
mony, an undivided third Interest in all
Wood's property and the custody of their
three mlnqr sons.
COURT'S AUTHORITY UPHELD
y
Judge Cleland Makes Decision Rela
tive to Commission's Powers. ,
In the Circuit Court yesterday Judge
Cleland. handed down a decision which
was the first court decision on any point
.Involved in the Ra-llroad Commission act.
He held that the act had not taken from
the courts and placed In the Railroad
Commission the power to pass upon the
right of one railroad to condemn a right
of way across the track, of another road-
The decision was rendered in the suits
brought by the Portland & Seattle Rail
road Company against the North Pacific
Terminal Company and the O. R. & N.
for the right to build tracks across the
lines of those companies north of the
Union Depot near the river. It was con
tended by the two defending companies
that only the State Railroad Commission
has power to give one road the right to
cross another.
Judge Cleland held that while the right
to adjust the method of crossing may
have been given to the Railroad Com
mission, the power to give the right to
cross had not been given to. that body
and Is still vested in the courts.
Order Daily Inspection of Bridge.
Orders that the Madison-street bridge
be thoroughly Inspected dally by the
bridge crew were given yesterday by the
County Commissioners after they had
inspected the bridge. The orders were
given as a precaution against any pos
sibility of accident on the bridge. City
Engineer Taylor accompanied Commis
sioners Lightner and Barnes when the
inspection was made, and -reported that
the bridge is safe for the present and in
no immediate need of repairs.
Questions Sheriff's Attachment.
Suit was brought against Sheriff
Stevens in the Circuit Court yesterday
by Henry Melton to recover property at
tached by the Sheriff last month. Melton
alleges that the property, which belonged
to the M. F. Cash Grocery at 334 Third
street, was his under a mortgage .for
$1500 which was not paid when due.
Melton claims the property under his first
mortgage, and asks judgment for the pos
session of it, as well as $250 damages for
alleged unlawful detention Iby the Sheriff.
GO OREGON ONE BETTER
California Tonus May Use "Recall"
to Get Incumbent Out of Office.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct 12. Some
of the California municipalities that
boast what is known as "freeholder"
charters, go Oregon one better when
It comes to freak legislation. They
have the recall, as well as the initia
tive and referendum. The two last
named are employed' In much the same
manner as they ate In Oregon, while
tne former Is called into play when a
community wearies of some public of
ficial who had theretofore received a
majority vote of his constituents at
the polls.
When some chosen servant commits
some act or does something that his
constituents fall to approve, they are
not compelled to wait until the next
general election day to rid the munici
pality of his services. Cpon a peti
tion of from 25 to 40 per cent of the
voters depending upon the charter a
special election must be ordered. This
is the recall. If the servant whose
record is called into question seeks
vindication he must again enter the
race. His opponents nominate a can
didate to succeed him, and the recall
election becomes the same as the elec
tion in the first instance and the can
didate receiving a majority vote is
chosen to fill the unexpired term.
The freeholder charter Is not avail
able untfl a town has a population of
10,000. Then it is permitted to elect a
board of freeholders. These men pre
pare a charter, which -is submitted to
the peoplo and the Legislature for ap
proval. Smaller towns are all gov
erned by stereotyped charters sup
plied by the State Legislature and ap
plying by classes to towns having cer
tain population.

PLANT GOOD TREES
Germany Sets an Example to
the World.
DERIVES A GREAT INCOME
Worthless Trees Cut Out and Only
Those Profitable to Commerce
Are Grown Norway Spruce la
Superseding Other Species.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ongton, Oct. 12. Some idea of the benefits
that will ultimately accrue from the
forestry policy of the Roosevelt adminis
tration may be gained from a study of
the German system after which one own
Is patterned. It is well known that no
nation in the world makes more thorough
utilization of Its forest resources than
Germany. Many years ago that country
awakened to the necessity of applying
business methods to the management of
its forests, and since that time a system
of forestry has been evolved which now
serves as a model top- the rest of the
world.
William C. Tlechman. American Consul
at Elbenstock, Germany, in a recent
report to the State Department, lays spe
cial stress on the fact that in the state
forests of that country the inferior trees
are being rejected and excluded by the
foresters In charge and the best are
taking their places. It Is also shown
that the forests have been brought to so
high a state of development that the net
Income year after year shows little more
variation than la seen in the yearly
harvests from agricultural lands.
Saxony an Example.
The state forests of Saxony are cited
by Mr. Tlechman as an example of the
high development of resources. Prom a
total forest area of only 443,105 acres, a
net revenue of $2,126,037 was realized in
1906, and that was about the average an
nual income during each of the ten pre
ceding years. The Importance of these
figures is only realized when It is known
that Saxonys net revenue from less than
SOO.OOO acres la greater than the gross
revenue of the United States with its
166,000,000- acres of National forests. Of
course the forests of the United States
are In a very much lower state of de
velopment, as a rule, than are the forests
of Saxony, and. furthermore the United
States Is only seeking to make the forests
pay the cost of administration and pro
tection. It Is not operating the forests
in the hope of swelling the revenue. Tet
it Is Interesting to note that if the Unit
ed States derived the same revenue per
acre -from Its forests as is derived In
Saxony, the Federal treasury would be
replenished to the extent of over $700.
000,000 a year from this source alone. It
Is not contemplated to make the Ameri
can forests revenue producers on any such
scale, yet the figures are worthy of note.
German foresters select kinds of trees
in the same manner as the progressive
stockman picks his breeds of stock. The
cattlegrower wastes no time or money
with scrawny and Inferior breeds, but
raises Durhams, Alderneys or others
which pay best In Germany they plant
trees which pay best, and the low grade
and inferior species are gradually disap
pearing from the forests where they
once grew. The tree which produces the
most lumber, and of the . best grade.'
with the least care and expense. Is
selected because it pays best.
Norway Spruce Best.
Mr. Tlechman cites the Norway spruce
now extensively grown in the Saxon
forests, as an instance of a superior
species replacing timbers 'of lower grade.
It is planted because it produces much
wood and can be turned - to many uses.
The trunk is so well proportioned that 80
per cent of the tree Is fit for structural
purposes. Formerly the beech held an
Important place in that region but only
20 per cent of Its trunk Is available for
lumber, and aa a consequence the beech
is no longer extensively planted in
Saxony, while the Norway spruce now
predominates.
The forests of the- United States con
tain a profusion of species, planted in
nature's way, and growing as best they
can. The forest service is giving them
every chance possible by protecting them
against fires and other destructive agents.
But there is a wide difference in the value
of the wood of different species, and as
forestry develops, and tree growing Is
brought more under man's control. It may
be expe'efted that results here will be simi
lar to what Is' seen in Germany. . Un
productive trees will cease to encumber
the land, and species of greater value
will take their place. The tendency in
that direction is already to be seen In
the forest 'service's tree planting. The
best kinds only are selected the pines,
oaks, ashes, eucalypts, - locust and others
which will be profitable. Nobody Is
planting buckeye, beech, sycamore or
dogwood, or expecting them to become
valuable for lumber. It is well under
stood that good timber is as aslly grown
as poor, and its value is very much
greater.
EFFORTS TO STOP RtTSTlIXG
Forest Service to Take Steps to lies
sen Stock-Thieving.
OREGONIAN NBW8 BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 12. The Forest Service has re
cently been appealed to to take steps to
break up the practice of "rustling" that
prevails on many of the ranges within for
est reserves, and it is quite probable that
when the next grazing season opens some
general policy will be laid down whereby
forest rangers will be able to put an end
to stock-stealing within the limits of Fed
eral Forest Reserves. Nothing of a gen
eral character will be done this seasont
except in the Elkhorn National Forest In
Montana, where -conditions are exception
ally bad. There a special agent has been
appointed, with orders to make his head
quarters where "rustlers" have been ac
customed to congregate, and it is believed
that his presence will tend to restrict
thieving for the balance of the next
season.
The Forest Service, however, has In
contemplation a plan whereby the author
ized users of the range wlthth any forest
reserve can secure Ihe benefit of Federal
protection of their stock. The plan la
merely to authorize forest officers to re
strict the removal of stock from forest
reserves unless the one removing it can
show the proper written authority from
tho holder of the Government permit. It
is anticipated that this plan will meet
with general approval among Western
stockmen, and if so, such a plan Is likely,
to be enforced next season. While such
a system will not be an absolute bar to
the operation of rustlers, It will neverthe
less tend to greatly reduce their opera
tions. CHINESE SCHOOI OF FORESTRY
Empire to Begin Work of Refor
estation. OREGONIAN, NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. Oct 12. The almost
world-wide movement to protect and
establish forests has reached China,
and the first Chinese school of forestry
will shortly be opened in Mukden, ac
cording to a recent report by Consul
General James W. Ragsdale, at Tient
sin. The Chinese Empire is usually
pointed out as the worst example
among modern nations of forest de
struction. The floods which are periodi
cally poured down from the denuded
mountains are destructive beyond
comparison with those of any other
country and the want of forests is as
signed as the chief cause.
Wood is scarcer in China than in al
most any other Inhabited region of the
world, although the country is well
adapted to the growing of trees. In
establishing a forest school the
Chinese government gives evidence that
it realizes the need of beginning -the
work of reforestation In a scientific
manner.

wishes contradiction made of the hus
band's remark that she was the stingi

'The reason I did not prosecute him

me any more," she said. "I admit that
I was keeper of the family funds and
that. I was close with them. But I was
also earner of the money and had to be

Mr. Pygall was a spendthrift and very
untruthful and was not to be relied upon.
I would not have prosecuted him except
that he agreed to leave, town, and I
thought it was best to be rid of him al
