0 TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND- AUGUST 16. 1908. - BIX YEARS MAKE CHANGES! NSENATE Only 37 of 90 Who Were Mem bers in 1902 Will Be Pres ent Next March. EIGHTEEN DIE IN OFFICE Thirty Retired to Private Life and Eight More Will. Follow Soon Oregon Holds Record for Toga-Shifting. BT LLOYD F. LONERGAN. NEW YORK. Aug. 15. (Special.) A Re publican of a statistical turn of mind wai chatting with National Treasurer George R. Sheldon, at headquarters in the Metro politan Life Building the other day. He announced that the United States Senate was changing Its membership more con stantly than at any time In Its history, and Mr. Sheldon was interested. "Six years is not a long period In Sena torial history." continued the man with the figures. "Now in August. 1903, there were 90 seats in the upper House at "Washington. How many men who were Senators then, do you think, will be pres ent officially when Taft la Inaugurated President?." Mr. Sheldon's guess was 65. The correct answer is 37, or a trifle over one-third of the membership. And some of these may not be elected. But 37 is the outside fig- ure- ' , Since Auguet, 1902. 18 Senators have died In office, an average of three a year; 33 have been retired to private life, eight are certain to retire on March 4. their suc cessors having been elected, and at least two more whose terms expire in March, 1911. are already slated for membership In the Down and Out Club.v Thte does not take Into account the fact that a number of others whose terms end with the com ing session, will probably have hard fights to be re-elected. Here is the detailed account of the changes In representation from the dif ferent states: Detailed List of Changes. Alabama Senators in 1902, Pettus and Morgan.

Dan iel and Thomas S. Martin. Still In office. r Anieny's Busy 6ummer. Washington Senators In 1902,' Turner (Dem.), and Foster (Rep.) Each succeeded men who had served a single term, and failed to exceed the record themselves. Present representatives, Levi Ankeny and Samuel H. Piles. Ankeny Is up for re election this year. It is a long way from the Bowery to Walla Walla,-but it looks here as if Senator Ankeny had had a busy Summer.. West Virginia Senators in 1902, Nathan B. Scott and Stephen B. Elkins. They were elected as soon as the Republicans captnred the state, and will probably stay "In" until the Democrats gain control. Wisconsin Senators in 1902, John C. Spooner and J. C. Quarles. La Follette ousted Quarles, Spooner resigned and Isaac Stephenson, who took his place. Is stumping the state seeking re-election. There are only about 10 other Republican candidates. Wyoming Senators in 1902, Clarence D. Clark and Francis EL Warren. Still in ofTlce. . Piatt and Depew represented New York In 1902. The. former will be retired in March. Depew has two years more to serve, and then he will Join Piatt. Neither one of them has the slightest Influence in politics today. To sum the matter up. only 12 states have retained their membership un changed during six years, 16 have held ons Senator, while 17 states have been repre sented by at least four different men dur ing the six years. Ten Unchangeable States. The "unchangeable" states are Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, New Hamp shire, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia. West Virginia and Wyoming. But New York will throw out Piatt next March, and Foraker Is seem ingly doomed: which should rightfully re duce the number to ten. And Wetmore, of Rhode Island was out of office for over a year. ' CLERKS OUTWIT. ROBBERS Registered Letters DumpeuT Into Newspaper Sacks and Saved. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 15. Tricked ty the quick wit of mail clerks, little plunder Is believed to have been cap tured by the two masked men who held up the Northern Pacific westbound pas senger train Just east of Spokane last night. Warned that the robbers were coming, the olerks took advantage of the time after the train had been cut in two, and threw, the local registered packages into a newspaper sack, where they were not noticed. So far as re ported, the only booty stolen was the pouch of registered mall sent from Chi cago to Spokane, and ons for Seattle, made up along the road. Neither is known to have carried any packages of great value. The search for the robbers continues. It Is believed they hurried to the city and are in hiding here. One suspect has been captured, having been found on top of the train after the robbery. He gives the name of Frank Snyder and may prove to be a plain hobo who was simply stealing a ride. Chorus Girls In pemand. CHICAGO, Aug. 15. There is a famine in chorus girls. The big show towns like Chicago, New York, Boston and Philadel phia, where companies are rehearsing for the opening of the season, are suffering from the lack of shapely young women who can dance and- sing. One-night stands have' not yet felt the effects of the shortage. But it is not Improbable that these places will be called upon to furnish "merry villagers" end "Amaxons" for more than one musical comedy be fore the theatrical season of 1903-09 is well under way. Stage folks say that never before was there such a scarcity of chorus girls. New York managers have sent emissaries to Chicago during the last two weeks to engage all the girls they could get. Cabrera Releases Captives. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 15. The foreign office received the following message from Senor Luis Pardo, minister to Gua temala, from Mexico: . "Upon the personal request of the dele gates to the Pan-American Medical Con gress from Uruguay, Costa Rica and Mex ico, President Estrada Cabrera has lib erated the women and political prisoners incarcerated since the attempt was made upon his life." This Information was received with much satisfaction by the Mexican offi cials here and it Is considered indica tive of the dawn of peaee -hoped for by all well wisher of the Central American republic TOO BUSK T II llll I 1 1 If u im FOR BRYAN TICKET Tammany Bosses Have Hands Full With Situation in State NEGLECT NATIONAL FIGHT Mack Keeps Promise to Allow Con ners and Murphy to Conduct Campaign and Branch Nation al Headquarters Deserted. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. (Special.) A dis patch from Albany brings this important Intelligence: "The first lot of Bryan and Kern buttons were received at the state headquarters here today." This is the first and only indication that the Demo crats are making a fight in the Empire State. And so far as can be discovered, if you want a button it is necessary to pay your own fare to the capital before you get one. Tammany Leader Murphy is the director-general of the state organlxation. He consented to ' "confer" with National Chairman Thomas E. Mack, but only as a matter of policy. Mack, believes In "whooping things up." He told Murphy so, but the Tammany boss was only slightly Interested. "You have lots to do without worrying about New York." said Murphy. "Our state committee will attend to everything. Lovely weather. Isn't it?" Mr. Mack is complaining privately that Mr. .Murphy Is "lacking in enthusiasm." Mr. Murphy has heard all about it, and he merely smiles. It Is over a month since the Denver convention was held, and except In Brooklyn, no Democratic meeting to ra tify the nominations of Bryan and Kern has been held In the city or state. Usual ly Tammany ratifies a National ticket Just as soon after a convention as a bunch of spellbinders can be rounded up and fireworks purchased. This time Leader Murphy has not even fixed a date for a meeting. - Wolves in Sheeps' Clothing. "McCarren got on the Job as soon as he returned from Denver," said a dis gusted Democrat today. "It was good politics on his part, even though his fol lowers will probably slash Bryan right and left. Funny isn't It. that the only Democrats who have indorsed Bryan are men who hate him, and who will prob ably vote for his opponent?" When the matter was called to Mur phy's attention he made this statement: "The reason why no Invitation has been sent to Bryan is that no campaign sub committees have as yet been formed by either Tammany or the state organiza tion. There Is no need to rush things. I do not think that there will be any at tempt to get the campaign going in this state until after the state convention." The state committee will meet next Fri day to fix the date for the convention. Present indications are that it will be held In Rochester on or about September 16. This means that there will be no whoops for Bryan, until about six weeks before election. . Bosses Are Too Busy. According to Democrats, not in sym pathy with 'their rulers. Chairman Connera and Leader Murphy; are so busy trying to straighten out the sit uation in the state to suit themselves, that they have no time to do any work for Candidate Bryan. The make-up of the state ticket promises to cause them a lot of worry, and keep them busy night and day until the convention meets. Both men, it is said, realize that they cannot elect a state ticket unless they can, in some way, smooth over the bad feeling created by their action in throwing out delegates and members of the state committee at the May convention. "Flngy" Conners. in conversation the other day, explained the difficulties in his delightfully naive way, he said: "Me and Charlie have got to keep on kicking McCarren . out, because we don't like him. We want harmony, but we will not stand for McCarren. He's a Standard Oil crook, and me and Charlie stand for decency in politics." Discontent In Brooklyn. 1 Brooklyn has always been a storm center, and within the past few days Bird S. Coler has poured oil upon the blazing fire of discontent. Coler was picked out by Murphy as the man to lead the battle on McCarren. He made a pitiful showing In the primaries, al though his delegates were seated on Murphy's orders. Coler falls to real ize that he is simply a Tammany pup pet. A few days ago he announced that he was a candidate for the Guber natorial nomination and he forgot to speak to Murphy before he launched his boom. The next day reporters asked Murphy about the possibilities for the state ticket,' On that occasion the Boss talked more freely than usual: "There are bushels of candidates," he said, then added with a grin, "I see Bird Coler has nominated himself for Governor." Tammany men have taken this as a cue that Coler has Joined the organi zation's "down and out" club. They also say that his leadership has been taken away from him, although he does not know it. Seven district leaders in Brooklyn deserted McCarren when Coler raised the standard of revolt. Four of them hold office under the borough presi dent, and are still loyal. The other, three, one by one, have called on Murphy to explain that "Coler is a Joke and the Joke is on us." Changes Coat Easily. "He changes his political belief as regularly as a dude changes his shirt," remarked one veteran worker. "He has the stability of a Jelly fish, the Judgment of a Long Island hen. and the personal magnetism of a softshell crab." Whereat Murphy laughed, for the first time in a month. "We don't nominate men who launch their own booms at public meetings, as Coler did," said a man who holds con fidential relations with Boss Murphy. "Mr. Murphy lost all patience when he realized that Coler, had been indulging in another Coleresque stunt to bring him self into the political limelight. Coler now has as much chance of securing the support of Tammany for. gubernatorial honors as has Pat McCarren. , "Coler's boom Is going on the rocks. After the Democratic State convention Is over it will be among the missing ships. And we are going to take good care that It will be the most complete political ship wreck that ever happened on these shores." McCarren Has Confidence. McCarren Is confident of making a clean sweep of the primaries, especially since the unanimous decision of the Appellate Division, which gives him all the election patronage. He says he does not care who Murphy picks out as his Brooklyn, n llinnll I lieutenant. Any xammanx man is ; - doomed to a crushing defeat? he declares. , To emphasize the "harmony mat ex . Ists in the Democratic camp these days, j here are extracts irom a signer statement given out by McCarren in reply to the question, ''What is the motive of Mur phy's fight On you?" Senator McCarren says: "These fellows, Murphy and Conners, are Egyptians. They belong to the dark ages. They had an idea they could come over here, sandbag the .primary law, rough-house us and get control this side of the river. They hadn't heard that we have a primary law, and that it has come to stay. .If I had a 10-year-old son who didn't know better I'd whip him. Murphy is a pig-headed, thick-headed. . ignorant '. fellow. and he Is insanely Jealous. I suppose he was afraid some body would think he was not the whole political brains -of the state. Thought It Would Be Easy. "He took it Into his plghead to Tara manylze Brooklyn, and he thought it a very easy thing to do. He tried to bru talize the machine. He thought that all that was necessary for him and Con ners to do was to throw somebody out and then take hold. It was the most childish idea for any man who pretends to be at the head of a great political organization. If Murphy had any sense he would be ashamed of himself." All of which does not conduce very strongly for harmony. Murphy and Conners are worried over the gubernatorial nomination. They be lieve they will be able to nominate any body they pick out, but the Ideal candi date must fulfill these requirements: He must be a man who voted for Bryan in 1898 and 1900, but did it so unobtrusively that the conservative Democrats will not hold It against him. He must be willing to allow Murphy and Conners to control his administra tion If elected, but still have the power to hold the Independent voters, who hate Murphy and Conners, In line. Gaynor Leads All. Of course In the preliminary gossip the name of Judge Gaynor, of Brooklyn, leads all the rest. Neither Murphy or Con ners Is hot on the proposition, as they believe the Judge Is too independent for this purpose. And a number of Demo crats are worrying these great leaders by Inquiring, with enthusiasm, "What is the matter with Judge Gaynor?" Up at Buffalo a boom has been started for the nomination of Mayor J. N. Adams. Ever since the news was broken to State Chairman Conners he has been busy trying to head off the Adam workers but thus far he has met with Indifferent success. Mayor Adam is now in Scotland, where he invariably spends his Summers. Two years ago his name was suggested for the place, but the Adams boomers did not get busy until a few days before the convention and then It was too late. They say that they are starting out early this year, and that the Democratic organization of Erie County will be for the Mayor to a man, not withstanding any possible opposition from Conners. The state chairman's candidate Is Lieutenant-Governor . Chanler, who Is anxious for promotion and has a large barrel. He is opposed in many sections of the state, but is far and away the leading candidate at present. Every Indication is that the powers that be are not staying awake nights hoping for Bryan's Invasion. Many lead ers tell with bitterness how at the time of the Denver convention whenever the Bryan managers and shouters sang "Hall Hall! The gang's on deck," they would end the song with "To with New York." Planned to Ignore State. The Empire State was conceded to Taft and the idea of making a campaign here for Bryan was discouraged. The Bryan programme was to pay no atten tion to New York. When the Peerless One insisted On the re-election of Nor-, man E. Mack as New York s member ,of the National. Committee, Murphy and Conners were disposed to sulk. But they were partially pacified by a promise that they should be allowed to run the campaign in this state. Then occurred in rapid succession,, the election of Mack as chairman of the National Committee, and the location of the main head quarters in Chicago. When Chairman Mack came here to open branch head quarters, Leader Murphy, insisted that the agreement be lived up to, and Mack promised to keep his hands off. Rooms were engaged for branch head quarters, and for' a few days there was quite a flurry of Democrats about the Hoffman House. Mr. Mack announced that Mr. Bryan would make at least three speeches in thjs state, and that he might repeat the visit and the speeches after the state convention. Then Chair man Mack went away to Chicago, Leader Murphy went back to Good Ground, the branch headquarters is deserted and there stands the Bryan campaign in New York at present. "Bob" Taylor's Lament. United States Senator "Bob" Taylor, of Tennessee, had a conference with Bryan at Lincoln the ' other day and at the conclusion he unburdened himself as follows: "It Is hard for anybody. in Mr. Bryan's position to get the plain truth. Between sycophants and liars that surge around the man hourly only the things that are pleasant are likely to be told him. The fight we are entering upon is going to be close extremely close or it will be a landslide one way or the other. In my travels through the West since the Den ver convention I have heard more Bryan than Taft talk, but I don't know what it means. The close states of the East are full of mystery. Let's penetrate that mystery and find out what's behind it. I assume that this is one of the chief ob jects of the conference Mr. Bryan desires to hold at Chicago with party leaders from all parts of the country." Friend of Boss Talks. An active Democrat, who is close to the boss, was asked to comment on the statement of Senator Taylor. He re fused to allow his name to be used, but here is what he had to say: "The close states of the East full of mystery! There Isn't any mystery In New York. The state committee runs the campaign, Tammany controls the state committee. Murphy bosses Tammany and Murphy doesn't care a tinker's dam about Bryan. It is as simple as the House that Jack Built." Lose American Citizenship WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. Consul-Gen-eral Ernest L. Harris, of Smyrna, has communicated with the State Depart ment concerning the settlement of an up rising at Nikari, ln which 60 naturalized American citizens were Implicated. The trouble arose over a tax levied by the Government upon the tobacco plantations, the owners of which claim that the plan tations had been exempted from taxation by an imperial order. During the upris ing nearly all of the naturalized Ameri can citizens obtained Turkish passports, which nullified their American citizen- The Kidneys When they are weak, torpid, or stagnant, the whole system suffers. Don't neglect them at this time, but heed the warning of the aching back, the bloated face, the sallow complexion, the urinary disorder, and begin treatment at once with Hood's Sarsaparilla which contains the best and safest curative substances.

HOUSES NEEDED IN EUGENE Buildings Rented Long Before Com pleted, So Great Is Demand. EUGENE, Or., Aug. 15. (Special.) With 167 buildings ln course of con struction, Eugene's problem of furnish ing houses to newcomers does not seem any nearer a solution than it was a year ago. There Is not a good dwelling-house standing Idle, and the same condition applies to the demand for offices ln the business section. Two large apartment-houses not yet com pleted have every room engaged. The scarcity of houses is so serious that the Commercial Club may begin an advertising campaign, publishing the needs of the city, . the value of property, the cost of material and prices paid for dwellings, ln the hope that some outside capital may be interested ln helping solve the problem. The local mills have more work than they can do, one of them running a night shift. One mill has been com pelled to turn down all orders for mill work that must be completed within a month, and some large contracts will not be considered at all. Fraud in Manila Election. MANILA. Aug. 15. The local police have discovered that copies of the official ballots used in the recent municipal elec tion in this city were stolen prior to the election and used in a-n illegal manner at the polls. The extent of the fraud is unknown as yet, but It is thought that the ballots were used chiefly to make certain of the manner in which the sup porters of certain candidates voted. It is expected that the election will be' con tested, which will permit the opening of the ballot boxes in order that an ex amination of the handwriting on the ballots may be made. Many protests against the seating of Simeon Villa, elected Alderman at this election, have been received by the Governor, but no action has been taken in the matter as yet. Strike Snag in Thaw Case. PITTSBURG, Aug. 16. As no one en tered an appearance for H. K. Thaw, when his trial for bankruptcy was held before Referee Blair yesterday, the fixing of the date for the first meeting of the credi tors was postponed indefinitely, and it Is said will not now be considered until his attorney- or some one else interested makes application to have the time fixed. There is a report current that the at torneys have found in the proceedings up to date a serious obstacle before fur ther proceedings are had, lest it should interfere with the plan to have Thaw brought here to face his creditors. Just what this obstacle Is. Is not disclosed, but it is said it concerns the Eastern creditors of .Thaw.' Shah Confers AVlth Pretender. TEHERAN, Aug. 15.
