Give Strong Reasons for Their
Prediction of Taft's Election.

CHICAGO. Oct. 3. (Special.) R
puhllean National headquarters were
elated tonight at the close of Chi
cago's first registration day. The ng
nrri all have a rosy Republican hue.
In past elections the enrollment haa
been a trustworthy prospectus of what
was to be the product of the subse
quent election and the Republican man
agers are confident that this year will
not proe an exception to the rule.
Some of the gains in Republican
Ward and some of the losses In Demo
eratlc wards were more than surpris
ing. They were startling.
When a heavy Republican ward gains
over 2000 above the first day's registra
tion of 1904. the banner Roosevelt year,
and when a heavy Democratic ward
loses over 2000. the facts have a legiti
mate political significance which cannot
be explained away by theories or by a
shifting population.
Examples of Gain 'and Losses.
Some of the conspicuous examples of
this may be shown as follows:
Republican wards gain:

The total registration for the day
was 268.317 In the Chicago wards, as
against a registration of 262.875 for the
fl'st day's registration of 1904. and of
307.304 for the first day of J904. The
comparison naturally should be made
with the figures of 1904. that being the
last Presidential registration.
All Lovely in Ohio.
Two members of President Roose
velt's Cabinet called at National head
quarters during the day and brought
with them reports of the progress of
the campaign In different parts of the
country. They were James R. Oarfield.
Secretary of the Interior, and James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture.
"Republicans are awakening all over
ths country." said Mr. Oarfield. "We are
having our usual crop of scares, but the
Republicans are getting their fighting
clothes on and are Intent on upholding
the full party strength In November.
That Is all they will have to do to win."
"All talk about Republican trouble In
Ohio Is moonshine.' said Secretary Gar
field. "The Republicans are wide awake
there and there is no sign of factionai
discord. There is nothing in the situa
tion there that presents any unusually
disquieting feature whatever. "Likewise
In Indiana the Republican party is in
excellent shape."
Secretary Wilson said that the Ameri
can farmers pretty generally remember
the conditions that prevailed from IR'3 to
1p"?7. and want no repetition of them.
Farmer Strongly for Taft.
"The farmer is overwhelmingly for
Taft and Republican policies." he said.
"Arp eclating as he does the difference
between the prices of his products now
and front "93 to "97. does any person
suppose that the American farmer is
going to commit commercial suicide?"
tt II Andrews, auditor of the I'nlted
Ststes Treasury, stopped at headquarters
long enough to say that New York Demo
crats rely upon the West to elect Bryan.
Frank II. Lathrop, manngcr of the
Republican campaign In Alnhama said:
"Few business men in Alabama want
to see Hryan elected. Just as soon as
the people become convinced that Taft
will be elected, they will rush to get Into
the band wagon. North Alabama and
Jllddle and Kast Tennessee now are Re
publican. " The Republican managers are
exceedingly hopeful about the chances
of Oklahoma going Republican. Wt J.
Irummond. editor of the Oklahoma
Dally Eagle, of Enid, who called at head
quarters during the day. said:
"Stranger things could happen than
that the new state will cast Its Presiden
tial vote for Taft and Republicanism."

WALLACE. Idaho. Oct. S. (Special.)
pwnaldtraMa surprise was caused here
today by announcement of the Institu

of two suits by the Federal Mining &
Smelting Company against the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan Company to quit title
to ore bodies within the plane of end
lines of the overlap and San Carlos
lode claims, although for a long time
there have been rumors of a big suit
between the two companies.
The filing of papers with the clerk
of the Federal Court at Moscow would
appear to be the first gun of one of the
biggest legal battles ever entered Into
in Idaho.
The Federal Company will not ask
for an Injunction restraining the Bun
ker Hill Sullivan Company from tak
ing ore out of the disputed ground, but
will simply demand an accounting for
ore already extracted.
The Federal Company claims to have
the apex of ore bodies, the extent of
which It haa been Impossible even to
form an estimate, and it is probable
that that the decision will Involve
millions of dollars.

CATCH BUSY CROOK
Detectives Arrest Leonard
Holt for Burglary.
CONFESSES HIS CRIMES
ted Double Life and Made Robbery
a Business Shields a Young
Woman Who Knew Only His
Better Side.
Through the efforts of Detectives Price
and Coleman. Leonard Holt, postoffice
burglar, schoolhouse robber and Port
land's latest "Raffles." waa arrested yea
terday afternoon and is now languishing
in the City Jail nearly 3000 miles from
a comfortable home and highly-respected
parents in Missouri. Dapper and suave,
in well-tailored clothes, he played the
gentleman by day and. in rough garments
which he kept in hitfing. he sallied forth
under the cover of the night to ply his
nefarious occupation as burglar. He
might have continued robbing Portland
dwellings and public buildings undis
turbed but for a slight mischance. Holt
was robbing the East Side High School
early yesterday morning when from his
kit of burglar's instruments he dropped
the key to the room which he occupies
In a respectable house near the corner
of Front and Montgomery streets. This
key waa found and through clever work
by Detectives Price and Coleman its
ownership was traced to Holt In a few
hours and discoveries made through
which Holt now stands accused of a num
ber of burglaries, some of which he con
fesses to. He is suspected of a score or
more which may prove to be also a part
of his criminal handiwork.
Took East Side School.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Pro
fessor Herdmann. of the East Side High
School, called on Captain Baty, of tha
Detective Bureau, and reported that some
one had burglarized the school during
the night before, securing 10 in cash and
some gold pins valued at 330 from the
principal's desk. He brought with him
as a clew the key Holt had dropped and
overlooked. Two hours and a half later
Holt was a prisoner In the City Jail,
having confessed to this crime and sev
eral others to Detectives Price and Cole
man who had been assigned to the case.
He was arrested In his room on Mont
gomery street and although Inclined at
Bret to deny everything he finally broke
down and confessed his guilt.. In his
possession were found some elegant
clothes, the finest set of burglar keys
which It has been the lot of the Port
land police to capture, and his burglar's
disguise of rough-looking clothes, dark
colored nelige shirt, and soft cap. The
collection of keys numbered SO and In
cluded a master key for almost every
known variety of lock. According to the
police no door in Portland could have
resisted his keys.

to the detectives yesterday in reply as to
why he naa turnea a cnnmnw wiren
evidently possessed of the advantages of
ciiu'utlnn And refinement. "I
couldn't get along at home so I left, and
this is tne only way i couiu cum
living to my liking. My father runs a
large grocery concern in Missouri but I
will not appeal to him, I will take care
of myself." ',..
Holt is 23 years of age. He has been in
Portland for about three weeks accord
ing to his statements and during that
time lias been constantly at his criminal
occupation at night. He Is of a dare-

Holt admits that he also burglarised a
West Side school from which he took 3.T0,
and also a number of houses. In his pos
session were found many stamps and al
though he denies It, he is suspected of
having broken Into the Postoffice sub
stations which have been robbed re
cently. What the police believe to be
evidence of this is that, together with
Postoffice Inspector mii-mc, j"''"--
they discovered that Holt had only re
cently sent a large quantity of stamps
to Seattle to be sold. They are work
ing on the Seattle end of the affair and
expect an arrest to follow shortly In this
connection. It being believed that Holt
has a pal at work there.
Clean Cut and Manly.
The most Interesting thtvg about Holt
Is his clean-cut, manly appearance. He
maintained that crime was a business
with him. nothing more. He denied
having any vicious associates here or
elsewhere and said that Ids only as
sociate since he had been in Portland had
been a pretty young woman of his own
age who lived on the East Side and who
was entirely ignorant of his burglarious
proclivities. She. he said, developed the
only regret which arose at his discovery
and arrest. He desired to withhold the
knowledge of bis fall from her.
Holt refused to reveal the identity or
the young woman and likewise would not
make known the identity or address of
hi parents.
FRENZIED SPEED IN RACE
(Continued from Drat Page.)
Basle, was put out of the race by a mis
hap. Almost from the start the Renault
car had been a contender for first honors,
being on equal terms and sometimes ahead
of car No. , which during the closing
v.., nt the race was B0 miles ahead of
the other racers. With victory apparently
assured by the mishap WM). J, iescauii.,
who had succeeded Robertson as driver of
the Simplex No. . slackened speed and
drove his car carefully so as to avoid
mishap.
W inner Killed Policeman.
It was the Simplex that was responsi
ble for the death of Thomas Fickett, the
special policeman who was run down last
o. v,a wm txvtng to drive some boys
off the track and It was Impossible for the
crowd to forget this Incident as uie oim
plex spun along In the lead. Pickett died
today In the hospital.
After the Renault was knocked out
of the race, chief interest was as to
which car would get second place. The
struggle for this honor was between
No. 2 a Losier. and No. 3. a -Thomas
car. "Roberts, driver of the Thomas,
kept the spectators in a state of ex
citement by his daring driving. He
took the Thomas around the mile
track -at the rate of 60 miles an hour,
but unfortunately for him, his car was
followed by persistent bad luck, the
motors working poorly and the "shoes"
repeatedly getting out of order.
One Racer Turns Turtle.
In the last half of the 23d hour the
ill-fated Zust car. driven by Gratjen.
dashed through the outer fence and
turned turtle. Gratjen's partner sus-
Iff Kj Pv
15- Hart Schutacr & Mane
tained a fracture of a leg and possibly
Internal Injuries. Gratjen escaped
with slight injuries.
The Simplex was given an ovation
when it darted by the grandstand on
the 1000th lap of the race, having made
a new record for the 1000 miles. It
covered the 1000 miles in 20 hours, 9
minutes. 45 seconds, the best previous
record for the same performance hav
ing been 97- miles.
The hourly scores showed that the
foreign-made automobiles had been
gradually eliminated from the race
until the final struggle was left en
tirely to the American-made cars.
Piling Vp of Machines.
In the third hour a plling-up of racing
machines going better than 65 miles an
hour was everted as by a miracle, four
cars grouped closely together being
thrown Into confusion by the crossing
directly In their path of M. G. Fickett,
special patrol officer. Three of the cans
managed to avoid the dodging figure, but
Robertson smashed into him with fearful
force and threw him 60 feet. He was
picked up unconscious, and died at a hos
pital. All the other Injured are drivers
and mechanics on the racing cars. . None
of them Is seriously hurt.
The mishaps crowded fast upon one
another through the French car No. 4
catching fire in the seventh hour, and
the Italian entry. No. 15, crashing into
the fence soon afterward, retiring both
for the remainder of the contest. No. 4,
which had been smashed in the mlxup
resulting from the running down of
Fickett. remained off the track 'six hours
undergoing repairs, but re-entered the
contest In the ninth hour. The Italian
entry, driven by De Palma, and the
American car, driven by Chervelet, were
next to come to grief, the former crack
ing two cylinders and the latter freezing
Its be&rlnss. The Italian car retired In
the eighth hour and the American car In
the seventh. The fourth hour, however,
the American entry. No. 9, had been
sufficiently repaired to re-enter the con
test, but was forced to retire again after
going only three miles.
Both the driver and mechanic of Car
No. 7 escaped with bruises when it
overturned. The accident was caused
by the explosion or a front tire. The
car was hopelessly wrecked, its rear
wheel broken, and the driving gear and
frame twisted. At the conclusion of
the 12th hour the track was cleared to
permit of repairs being made on the
turns, which had been badly cut up.
French Car Takes Fire.
Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning the
French car. No. 1, driven by Julian
Loch, In the 24-hour race, caught Are
as it rounded the southeast turn and ran
Into the inside fence, the mechanician
being unable to steer it. the flames blind
ing him and inflicting severe bums.
Less than three minutes afterward the
Italian car, driven by Gratjen. burst a
tire at the same turn a few feet from
where the French car had come to grief,
and was hurled into the outer rail, both
driver and mechanician being hurled over
20 feet In the air. Gratjen's hand and
arm were badly lacerated ana oruinea.

held there. A blow of the drive wheel
against his chin knocked him uncon

and mechanic of No. 15, who stopped
their ear and jumped out to pull htm
from under the blazing wreck, he must
have been burned to death.
