TO KILL STATEMENT NO. 1 Writer Tells Why He Voted for Mr. Chamberlain as Senator. MVRTI.K POINT. OrH Nov. 27. (To the Kditor.) I read with great inter est the letter of Hon. George if. Will lams, as published in lut Saturday's Oregonlan. In relation to the subject of t h ante-election pledge known as Statement No. l. In that letter he says, and truly, that he did not ques tion the right of the people to express at the polls their preference for I'inted States Senator. Now, the question arises, did the result pf the election of last June give an expression of preference as to I'nited States Senator? It certainly was not in my case, and perhaps there are others who were in fluenced by the same impulse. Of course. Statement No. 1 was ob noxious and I could only employ one method of defeating that particular policy, and that was to vote for Mr ChAmoeHain to defeat Mr. Cake, and ben vote for anti-Statement No. 1 candi datejt to defeat Mr. Chamberlain In the Legislature". This may appear to be a heroic remedy for : desperate disease and may prove futile. Nevertheless. I could employ no other method to de feat Statement No. 1. T. J. GREKNE.

It is time for us to look through the man into his heart and not at his deceitful smiles. It is time for us not to be influenced by a wagonload of perjured affidavits accompanied with a lot of vulgar noise. Let us find out the intent of this smile and the cause of this noise. When we do that, the noise will cease, the smiles will decrease, and the petty grafting politician, with, his "Shall the people rule" and the "people's choice." etc.. banners, will have to resort to other means of livelihood. Then our courts, laws and Nation will be re spected and our loyal cititzens will again take heart. K. M. SETTLER WINS HIS CASE TITLE IS IPUELD TO SILETZ TIMBER CLAIM. Ruling of Portland Office Is Re versed in Favor of Squatter on Valuable Tract. An Important decision has been ren dered at Washington, D. C, by S. V. Proudfit, Acting Commissioner of the General Land Office. respecting the rights of settlers who have squatted on unsurveyed timber land which is sought to be acquired by other interests subse quently by the application of scrip thereon. The cae decided Is that of Robert M. Wonderly against the North ern Pacific Company- and the Weyer haeuser Timber Company. A copy of the decision yesterday reached A. V. Laf ferty. a local attorney, who appeared for Wonderly and Is also couruel for nearly a score of other settlers who have similar cases pending before the General Land Office. Karly in 1!00 Wonderly and several other residents of Falls City. Polk Coun ty, each squatted on a quarter section of unsurveyed timber land Just outside the Slletx Indian Reservation and made the necessary improvements, intending to file on the land as & homestead as soon as the survey could be had and approved. Un June B, torn, a few months after the settlers located on the land, the eame claim were selected by the Weyerhaeuser Timber company with Northern Pacific scrip. The settlers made repeated efforts to have the land surveyed, but this service was not per formed until 1WA and has never been approved. Becoming disgusted with the delay in securing action on the survey which was necessary before the land could be filed on as homesteads. Wonderly and his as sociates Instituted contest proceedings against the railroad company and the Weyerhaeuser interests, resisting the ap plication of the lieu selection list by which the Weyerhaeusers sought to seize the property. The case was tried before the officials of the Portland Land Office and was decided in favor of the railroad company, but Wonderly ap pealed to the General Land Office, and in the decision of the Acting Commis sioner the ruling of the local officials has been reversed. The Acting Commissioner . holds that unsurveyed timber lands cannot be seized bv the use of serin where prior to the date the scrip is offered the land has been settled on by a bona fide settler, re gardless of whether or not the claim uhsenuentlv should be ananaonea. t n- der this ruling all that Wonderly and his associates will have to do to acquire the land is to remain on the premises until the survey has been approved and then tile on the same under the home stead law and complete the necessary proof. The claim for which Wonderly Is contending is worth about $15.vn.

WOMAN'S LATEST LOVER Protesting at Disgrace of Exposure, He Tells of Intrigue. With Charmer More Exposures Threatened by Dreyfusards. PARIS, Nov. 2S. The Steinhell case continues to be the sensation of the hour in all France. No one ventures to say where the revelations will end. The po litical side looms larger and larger every day and the interest harks back always to the tragic death in Paris vin 1899 of Felix Faure.' President of France.. M. Faure died in the midst of the .Dreyfus excitement. The most minute details of the scene In the room where he expired In the com pany of Mine. Steinhell are flagrantly published by even the Republican news papers. Up to the present time this in cident In the career of Mme. 9telnheil has only been referred to covertly. The roy alist and anti-Dreyfus organs are de manding an official Investigation into the death of M. Faure and intimate openly mat AI. I-aure, as the insuperable obsta cle to the 'leaders of the Dreyfus agita tion, was murdered as the outcome of a plot. They have put forward the old al legation that M. Faure intended to yield to the petitions of the Dreyfusards and sign an order for the revision of the case, and that consequently he was poisoned. The only reason to believe that M. Faure did not die a natural death is found in the fact that his body decom posed with unusual rapidity and to off set this, there are statements of seven of the best known physicians of Paris, who certified that he died of cerebral hemor rhage. Letters Given Up After Death. The other story that Madame Steinhell was present when he passed away seems to be true, and great regret Is expressed that circumstances have now compelled the disclosure to the world of this old scandal, which the Faure family and the friends of the former President thought was buried with his body. That the letters containing evidence of M. Faure's relations with Mme. Steinheil were surrendered after his 'death prob ably is true, but the idea that these communications contained compromising statements p.-as rejected by all who were behind the scenes at the time. With regard to the murder of Mad ame Steinhell's husband and mother, the net Is drawing closer and closer around the wife. Scores of romantic affairs with persons of note in political and artistic circles are coming to light, and they prove what a remark able wiiiian she wai. She ia np' called "the charmer of men." Her salon was duzzllngly brilliant. Latest Lover Is Frantic. Her last lover. In whose eyes she de clared she wanted to Justify herself, has now been discovered, and his Identity furnishes a clew to a motive for the crime. He is a rich widower, and resides in a famous chateau near Meseirs. in the Department of the Ardennes. He is not implicated in the crime. When seen by a journalist, this man, who is the father of three children, protested frantically at the disgrace that the exposure would bring He said he was ready to commit suloiue. but ncvertheles-s he made a clean breast of his relations with Mme Stein heil. He described how he had met her at a reception at the Stelnheil's. The gathering was a distinguished one. He soon got into the habit or meeting HAVE ATTR ItTlt E HOME AT SIXTH S N ft GROWS her at the "Green Ledge." a villa at Bellevue. which Mine. Steinhell rented under the name of Mme. Prevost. Marietta Wolff, the cook whose son was accused by Mme. Steinheil of being guilty of the murders, lived at the lodge and was her mistress' confidante. ' This was early last year. Exquisite Idyll, He Says. For a month it was an "exquisite Idyll." said this man in describing the episode. "Mme. Steinhell said she adored me. and at each meeting she made new avowals and swore I was the only lover she had ever had. "She told me of her past," the widower continued to the newspaper men, "and denied this gossip of her relations with other men. She Insisted particularly that the Faure story was a legend, and said she could prove that &he was home 111 at the time of M. Faure's death. She admitted, however, that she hated her husband, and said he led an "Infamous existence She detested her mother also for having forced her to marry Steinheil. She assured me that she would get a divorce and marry me." Woman Still Pursued Him. Continuing his explanation, this man related how the scales gradually fell from his eyes. When the spell was broken he returned -home. Mme. Stein heil, however, continued to pursue him and telephoned him every day. On the morning of the crime she called him up by long-distance telephone, but the wire was not working well, and he could bare ly understand what she said. Finally she exclaimed: "1 am satisfied, for I have heard your voice; that is enough for me." The next day. when he learned of the murders, he suspected the truth and c,ame to Paris. He saw Mme. Steinheil and told her never to see him again until she had cleared herself. The prevailing belief In Paris today is that Mme. Steinheil deliberately had her husband and mother assassinated. Trying to Explode Magazine. The police developments of the poli tical side of the case can best be likened to a powder magazine, and the Dreyfus ards are moving heaven and earth to ex plode it, absolutely regardless of the Na tional scandal that may result. M. Ber rey. Conservative, gave notice in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon that he Intended to present an interpellation on the matter. The sensational afternoon papers are filled with the wildest rumors and the most minute details. May Stifle Further Inquiry. It has been predicted already that Mme. Steinhell will be declared crazy and locked up in an asylum and that In this manner all the further proceedings will be stifled. As a matter of fact, the experts agree that she is today a nerv ous wreck, even If she were responsible at the time of the crime. Several newspapers pretend to know the name of the assassin of Steinheil and Mme. Japy. as well as that of his ac complice. Lte this afternoon the widower who admitted that he was the last lover of Mine. Steinheil. came into Paris and voluntarily told his story to M. Andre, the examining magistrate. The name- of this man has not yet been disclosed. ISSUE EDICT FOR SACRIFICE Ascension of Pu l to Be Marked With Elaborate Ceremonies. PKKIN. Nov. 2S.

ANOTHER MEMBER SOUGHT Police Say His Arrest Will Cause Sensation Boy Now In Custody Leads Officers to Cache, but Plunder Is Stolen. Additional confessions were made Fri day by tne toy Gus Johnson, now in the City Jail, held as a partner In crime of the gang of safeblowers headed by C. A. Johns, which virtually established that this gang of robbers was also guilty of the postoffice robbery at Monmouth. Or. The police nave Kepi tne iaa aii i from his confederates and plied him with every conceivable question. The bov admitted that the gang was in Mon mouth, but having become frightened at his previous disclosures, maintained that he did not know what was done there. Following his admissions of yesterday ' morning. Postoffice Inspector E. C. Clement left Portland eariy yesterday for Monmouth to make some important inves tigations in this case. Before going he called at the City Jail and had photo graphs taken of Johns and Lloyd, which he took with him with the hope of having them identified in Monmouth. -Before leaving he said that he had sufficient evidence now in hand to be sure that the Federal authorities would charge this gang with blowing the postoffice safe in Monmouth. A sensational development yesterday was the fact that the police are search ing for another member of the gang whose Identity has ,not been made pub lic, but who is said to be a resident of Portland and prominently connected. It Is known on reliable authority that this man's arrest will cause a sensation. The robbers' cache was located yester dav morning through the confession of Lloyd, who led the police to a deserted old powder-house In South Portland, be- . an nlH tnnnfrr. Here some of the Jewelry which was tken from the -safe at Nyssa was recovered, but it was also discovered that some one had discovered the nidi ,T place and taken much loot. The police . hold the theory that the missing member of the gang visited the .place and removed the valuables. Lloyd would not give a de tailed statement of what this cache con tained so the belief is also entertained that another hiding place may be brought to light. B- th confession made yesterday Uy the Johnson boy. It Is. shown that Johns has few masters as a aracks man. On the night the safe was blown In Nyssa he made his own nitro glycerin with. cool deliberateness with in the outskirts of the town. He took his own dynamite with him and, build ing a fire, boiled the explosive. After boiling it the necessary letigth of time he skimmed off from the top what the yeggmen" call the "soup. TV 1th this he quickly repaired to the store jim mied open the door, entered bored the safe, placed the charge and fired it, all alone. v The others kept watch on the outside. Late last night Sheriff Robert O Dell, of Malheur County, accompanied by Citv Marshal D. H. Kerfoot. of On tario, Or., arrived In Portland. The Sheriff had warrants for the arrest of the trio now in the City Jail, and, ac companied by Detective Coleman, in terviewed the prisoners. The men were all identified by Marshal Kerfoot. who saw them on the night they took the train in Ontario. They made known-for the first time last night that this band had stolen a horse and buggy from J. D. Lee, of Nyssa, on the night they opened the safe In It they drove to Ontario and made their escape. The rig was not recovered until several days later. At the time the prisoners were first placed In the City Jail they engaged Attorney John Logan, and Chief of Police Gritzmacher permitted the at torney to get $100 of the money which was found in their possession as his . . i T lnna since develnned reiaiiims 1 1: " . " 1 that this money was part of the pro ceeds of the Monmouth robbery. The Federal authorities criticise the chief of police for having allowed it to pass out of his possession. The disposition of the prisoners, whether they will go back for trial in Majheur County or whether they will be turned over to the Federal authori ties will probably be brought up and settled this morning. Detectives Coleman and Smith, to whose clever deductive ability is due the fact that the men were run down and placed behind the bars are receiv ing congratulations for having made one of the few captures of .the year which has helped 'raise the odium of inefficiency from the shoulders of Port land's detective department.
