Senator Says Oregon Will Give Him

Wants Him on Stamp.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. 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.' "

the trial of the Japanese sealing

going on at Vladivostok when the
steamer Japan left, the crew being re

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

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

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

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. On June

SCHOOL FAIR BIG SUGSGES
DISPLAY AT COKVALLIS FAR SU
PERIOR TO PREVIOUS YEAR.
Vegetables and Fruit or Mammoth
Proportions Grown by Pupils
or Benton County.
CORVALLIS. Or., Sept. 5. (Special.)
Pumpkins four feet, and cabbages 40
Inches in circumference. beans ten
Inches long, timothy six feet high,
cucumbers two feet long, beets of the
came length, oats seven feet high, po
tatoes ten inches long, apples 14 inches
and peaches 12 Inches in circumference
and other product of mammoth pro
portions, all grown by Benton County
school pupils, are among the exhibits
at the All-Benton-School Fair now In
progress.
The real story of the display, how
ever. Is not in the giant slzee, but In
the extent and profusion of the dis
play. The display at this second fair
of the sort in this county. Is declared
by experts to be 100 per cent better
than a year ago.
Avery's Park, near Mary's River
bridge, is a city of tents, some of which
ara 10 feet long.
A display of livestock with a parade
of show animals was among the fea
tures yesterday. Numerous sideshows,
besides balloon ascensions, provide
amusement for vicitors. -
A baseball game was played yester
day forenoon and later a field and track
meet, with the Benton Counts' school
pupils as participants, was held.
Sewing, bread, butter, drawing and a
hundred other forms of activity by
the children are represented in the ex
hibits. The speakers yesterday were A. T.
Buxton, master, and J. J. Johnson,
state lecturer of the State Grange.
The presiding officer of the day was
President Kerr, of the Oregon Agri
cultural College.
Today there was the largest attend
ance of any of the three days of the
fair, being fully treble that of the
best day last year. The feature of the
day was a businessmen's parade. In
which nearly every business house in
lown was represented by a float. An
other balloon ascension and parachute
jump took placo at 11 o'clock, the
aeronaut alighting without accident.
At 2 o'clock an address was delivered
by Hon. S. A. Lowell, of Pendleton, on
"Oregon Problems."
The success of the fair has led to a
strong sentiment In favor of develop
ing it next year into a county fair.
Some urge the purchase and improve
ment of the grounds on which the pres
ent fair Is being held. It Is very prob
able that suh action will be taken.
The streets and fair grounds have
been brilliantly Illuminated with col
ored lights every evening and tonight
a Mardi Gras parade wus held.
