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.

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.
Wonderly lias been living on the land
and making some improvements annually
since he first squatted on it in 19.

IN STQHHEIL CASE
Every Detail of Faure's Dying
Days Revealed in
Paris.
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.

MORE TOLD Bit BOY
Monmouth Postoffice Robbery
Fastened on Johns' Gang.
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.
