Sept. S. Senator Bourne's long ojourn at Hot Springs evidently had more than one marked effect, upon Ore gon's Junior Senator, to Judge from the following article which appeared In the Washington Star this evening: "Senator Jonathan Bourne has arrived In Washington for a few days, but will soon leave for his Oregon home to take part in the campaign. He will be on the stump almost continuously from the last of September until the last of October. As the most energetic advocate of the re nomination of President Roosevelt, having spent thousands of dollars of his personal funds for that purpose, his views of the present sltuatioi are of interest. No Doubt or TaUs Election. " 'I do not think there Is the least question of the flection of Taft.' he said today. "So far as Oregon Is concerned, the Democmts have Do show on earth out there, notwithstanding their claims. The RepuDllcan National ticket will win by 20.V votes. I think It will he prac tically the same In all Pacific Coast states. " 'A close personal study of Mr. Taft since his nomination convinces me that he Is one of the greatest men of the Nation. I am certain he will tv the echo of no man. and that his individuality will stand out with that of any the great men of the country. He has courage, ability of the highest order, ard a tactful way . of doing things that will he gratifying. Wins All Who -Meet Him. 'I confess 1 would like to see him make some speeches and get about through the country. He is a great mixer, makes a favorable Impression upon every one, and people who meet him become recruiting sergeants for lilm. I would like him to make a dosen or so speeches. His speech of acceptance was one. of the greatest documents from a public man In this country and. If he follows that up as he should, he need have no fear. " 'As to President Roosevelt'a also taking the stump I do not think that necessary; at least It does not look that way now. However, the whole situation will be better observable October 1. ' 'As a matter of fact, the Independent vote of the country will settle the coming election, and these men have probably not made up their minds. Nobody doubts, though, that the Independent vote will be practically solid for Taft. There Is no other way of reasoning their attitude. It la not conceivable that they could or would support the Democratic nominee.' " - , - ' , . t -: - -A - 'ft' -J i.

News was brought by the Empress of India that the trial of the Japanese sealing schooner Mye Maru, for alleged poach ing at the Commandersokl Islands, was going on at Vladivostok when the steamer Japan left, the crew being re leased on bail, meanwhile. Captain Nomura, of the sealer, testified that he was 12 miles from land when seized. but the court pointed out that the limit was 30 miles. Captain Nomura Instanced the Behrlnff Sea regulations, atatlng that America permitted seal ers to go within three miles of the rookeries, and said he concluded the same regulations applied. The Japanese allege Inhuman treat ment by the Russian guards. Two men who became 111 were refused medicine. One died, and his body was loaded with the sick men In the same wagon. The body was left uncared for for nine days, when Captain Nomura was permitted to have It cremated. The men are 111 because of lack of nour ishment.

Arthur, of Connaught, Hears Growl of Unemployed In Great Scotch City. GLASGOW, Sept. B. For two daya past Glasgow has been threatened with a re currence of the bread riots, following an attempt made Thursday of a large num ber of unemployed to force a hearing before the Municipal Council. The trou ble culminated today, when a large num ber of socialists and unemployed men took part in a hostile demonptration against Prince Arthur of Connaught, on the occasion of a review of 10.000 mem bers of the Boys' Brigade. The only troops present today were a guard of honor composed of infantry, but the authorities, fearing trouble, greatly strengthened the police forces, which succeeded In overawing the crowd of 6000 malcontents. These, during the early part of the ceremonies, made ugly rushes in the direction of the Prince's carriage, but were checked by the police. They hooted and sang revolutionary songs. Police Say Revenge Was MotlveJ, Family Says Simple Hold-up. Evidence Gathered by De tectives Kept Secret. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Sept t. With the police and the two Interested families taking different opposite views of the shooting of Charles B. Roberts of Baltimore, on the board walk while In a wheeled chair with Mrs. W. S. G. Williams, of the same city, there seems no prospect that the mystery will ever be solved. The police insist that the Roberts and Williams families could tell who committed the crime, if they would, but are concealing facts to avoid a scan dal and advancing the robbery theory with the same motive. The two fami lies concerned Insist that the crime was committed for the sole purpose of rob bery, Mr. Roberts having had a large sum of money In his possession at the time. They say that the only motive of the police In rejecting this story is the desire of the police to -alefend them selves from charges of Inefficiency. The police have questioned all who know anything aoout-the shooting, and this Information all confirms their belief that a vengeful relative of Mrs. Williams fired the shot. Chief Woodruff attacks the credibility of Thomas DeFord. Mrs. Williams' brother, saying that, while Mr. DeFord protests that he has not seen Mrs. Williams since she spent a day at Narragansctt Pier some weeks ago. he was at Atlantic City the Monday before the shooting with Mrs. Williams. Mr. Woodruff believes Mr. Roberts himself can name his assailant, but the Sacter adheres firmly to the hold-up story Roberts continues to Improve. but gives the police no aid In solving the mystery. WILLIAMS COUPLE RECOXCILED Had Been Estranged by Husband's Habits of Intemperance. BALTIMORE. Sept. 6. Mrs. W. S. G. Williams, the society favorite who has figured so prominently In the mys terious shooting case on the Atlantic City board walk, returned from Atlantic City this evening and went direct to her home In Long Green, where her husband met her at, the station. It was their first meeting since his return from Europe. While Roberts and Mrs. villiams have frequently met and been friends for two or three years, there has never been any gossip concerning them. Williams and Roberts were friends and their wives were friends. The fact that Roberts always carried considerable money, which was known not only to his friends, but to others, bears out the robbery theory. He nearly always had on his person from 300 to $500. Last Monday, soon after Roberts had returned to Baltimore and had reached his office, he was called to Atlantic City by telegraph by John Alney Norris, a director of Mr. Roberts' company. In the telegram summoning Roberts to At lantic City to consider a business deal he was instructed to bring a certain sum of money with him and it Is known that In Pursuance With Our Usual Custom Our Store Will Remain Closed All Day Monday Labor Day Monday Sept. 7th. See Monday Evening Papers For Announcement of Tuesday's Great Sale Specials he drew 12000 from the bank. This, to gether with what he had In his purse, made the amount he carried about $2500. The relations between Mr. Williams and his wife had not been of a pleasant nature for some time and some of his actions were so out of the ordinary that it was thought necessary to place him under the care of a guardian.

At 2 o'clock an address was delivered by Hon. S. A. Lowell, of Pendleton, on "Oregon Problems."
