BY l.LOTt F. LONBRQAN.
NEW YORK, June 12. (Special.)
Politicians are studying with curiosity
the conditions that have arisen since
Supreme Court Justice William J. Gay
1 no
nor tit-Kan nis Ditter war upon Police
ommissioner Theodore Bingham. That
'Gaynor has ambitions is generally ad
Jmltted. But nobody Is in a position, or
willing, to say exactly what those ambl
'tlons are. It Is believed that the dis
tinguished jurist has his eyes on the
'Mayoralty, but is he after the Tam
many or the fusion nomination?
, Brooklyn Democrats and some Tam
many men profess to believe that
Gaynor will be the McCarren candidate,
land that the present war on the police
Us along the lines laid down by the
Kings County organization. Friends of
I Gaynor say that he ias no use for
: Tammany, and is ready to do all he can
(to crush It. The Judge himself refuses
t discuss politics at the present time,
j Timothy L. Woodruff, who, as leader
of Kings County, will have a good
I deal to say about candidates this Kail
j unless he gets cold feet, as Is his ous
tora. believes that Gaynor Is after the
fusion nomination. This explains
Woodruffs recent interview In which
he went on record in favor of fusion,
f but added that the head of the ticket
j should be a member of the Republican
. party, which was Woodruff's cagy way
jot serving notice on Gaynor that a Re
publican county boss was opposed to
his advancement.
No Longer Scared of Poverty.
Gaynor Is one of the Supreme Court
Justices who would much prefer to take
a part In active politics. And the rea
son why he has consented to remain in
his present position for so many years
Is Interesting. Justice Gaynor Is, or
rather was, a poor man. He has a large
.family, and up to a year or two ago
his Income barely exceeded his ex
penses. And, as he explained to his
friends, he did not dare to take a
chance.
- This was particularly so In 1905.
when William Randolph Hearst offered
him the Municipal Ownership nomina
tion for Mayor. A man who conducted
the negotiations for Hearst says that
Gaynor frankly said that he would like
to make the race, but that he could not
afford It.
"My,. chnJre" are growing up." he
said, "and I need every cent that I
can raise. Were I defeated. I would
" . iu way nnanciauy. j
Hearst promised to remedy this by
" iu.il uaynors law prac
tice would equal his salary as Judge.
But Gaynor would not accept. He ex
plained that, while he appreciated the
offer, it would be In the nature of a
bribe, and he did not care to be put
In such a position.
But now conditions have materially
changed. Gaynor's one wealthy friend
was William Zlegler. He financed sev
eral of Gaynor's political fights, and
when he died, left Gaynor as the exec
utor of his big estate. Gaynor fulfilled
his trust with fidelity. His fees to
gether with a legacy, have made' him
Independently rich, although many of
our magnates would regard him as
poor. But Gaynor has U'OO.OOO safelv
Invested in good securities, and Is con
vinced that he will never be in danger
of the poorhouse.
Police Good Dog to Beat.
This probably explains whv he has
taken an active Interest in politics, and
opened the game by making one Theo
dore Bingham very unhappy. For Gay-
. iicuer man anvbody in
New York that an attack on the police
is the one best bet in a municipal cam
paign. In the last decade New York has only
had two anti-Democratic Mavors. and
both of them were elected on the police
issue. Strong, who was victorious in
1894. was swept into power bv the reve
lations of the Lexow committee, -which
demonstrated that the police were levy
ing tribute on all sorts of vice and
.rime. In 1901 Seth Low took office as
the direct result of a series of attacks
on -Bill" Devery, whom the then
Mayor, an Wyck. declared to be "the
best Chief of Police New York ever
had. Now Gaynor enters the political
arena with a new attack on the police
scoring them for their violation of the
law and oppression of citizens
Politicians admit that Gaynor Is an
antagonist that must be treated with
respect. His personal record is above
reproach, and all that his worst ene
mies can say against him Is that he
pones to the galleries entirely too
much. But that can hardly be re
garded as a grave fault, especially in
a community where "posers" have gen
erally carried off the fat prizes.
Poor Bingham snorts defiance at his
foe. and declares that he Is not wor
ried over anything that Gaynor may
say or do. But men who have been in
the game for years are free to, admit
that the chances are all In favor of the
Justice of the Supreme Court.
If the Mayor Removes Bingham, Gaynor
has scored a great victory. On the other
hand. If he upholds his subordinate, the
general public, or at least a great part of
It will be convinced that McClellan has
allowed friendship to bias his official
acts And Gaynor win get the credit, no
matter what the result Is.
How Gaynor Made Issue.
The light, as Gaynor wages It, Is a
most popular one. A poor boy Is ar
rested on a charge of disorderly conduct
and his picture Is promptly placed In the
Rogues' Gallery. He la discharged in
court, but his photo Is atlll on exhibi
tion. He Is locked up several times there,
after, and on each occasion a reference
Is made to the picture. The result Is that
wliile never convicted of a crime, he Is
placed in the position of being a criminal
and does not have a fair chance. Finally
when Gaynor narrates the facts to the
head of the police department, and aeks
that the picture be destroyed, he Is
practically told to mind his own business
as the police know what they are doing.
All of which gave him a dandy excuse
to make an appeal to the Mayor, and
demand that the police be ordered to pay
attention to the rights of the citizens;
which have been flagrantly ignored " So
It may be stated that Gaynor has no
need to put up a political lightning rod
His own activity has done that.
All over town you can hear people
talking about Gaynor. He Is the one big
man who "has had nerve to protest
against the. brutality, of the police.;' "He

"TW" BOUT 75 Portland business men left
at 7:45 o'clock last evening for Kla-
math Falls, where "Railroad Day,"
commemorating the completion of the
Southern Paciflc line from Weed, Cal.,
to Klamath Falls, will be held Monday.
Most of those who will attend the cele
bration left last night, but a number of
others left Portland at 1:30 o'clock this
morning.
The programme at Klamath Falls to
morrow will include a free barbecue,
given on the Hot Springs tract, and
barbecued beef, baked beans, bread and
coffee will be served to all visitors.
Other attractions are an Indian ball
game between teams from the Chemawa
Training School and the Klamath In
dian School, a Pacific Coast tennis
tournament, lasting three days, histori
cal parade, prize trap-shooting, an il
luminated water carnival on Lake
Kwauna and addresses by prominent
men of Oregon and California. The his
torical parade will be participated In
by Indians in warpaint, cowboys, wagon
pack trains, stage coaches and auto
mobiles. Excursions are also being run from
Mcramemo and Kan Francisco. While
there was no organized excursion party
from Portland, a large number took
advantage of the one-fare rates. Those
who left at 7:45 last night will reach
Weed at 4:30 this afternoon and find a
special train there which will put them
In Klamath Falls tonight about 9:30.
Some of those who left last night plan
to remain several days in the Klamath
County, visiting near-by points of in
terest, and a few will visit Shasta
Springs, in California, on the return
trip.
Is a big man who realizes that the poor
men have rights." Other arguments are
made along these lines, and the result is
to make Gaynor, at the present time a
political force to be reckoned with '
When Gaynor heard that Tammany
men In London had indorsed him for
Mayor, he simply said, "ridiculous." But
he has not placed himself on record
any further than that, and he did not ex
plain what his one remark really meant.
Show lTp Tammany on Stage.
The coming city camDaien nmmi
be a "beauty." One of the novel features
already gravely discussed Is to show up
Tammany by staging a red hot drama,
portraying the vices of that organiza
tion. It is proposed to have a play written
by a man of recognized ability, with the
plot revolving around the leader of Tam
many Hall and his satellites. The chief
object will be to show how municipal
mUsrule and mismanagement keep the
poor poor and make the- politicians
wealthy.
The novelty of the Idea has appealed
to the persons who are behind the Com
mittee of One Hundred, and they have
tentatively figured that J30.000 would be
sufficient to produce the play in a high
class manner, and keep it running for
Blx weeks just preceding election. The
Committee of One Hundred is determined
to take an active part In the coming
Mayoralty campaign, and it is under
stood that It will have all the money It
needa for any purpose. The cash required
to stage a genuine political drama for
educational purposes would. It is pointed
out. be a comparatively small item of
expense.
The persons who have made the sug
gestion to the reformers have tried to
point out that a drama built on these
lines and perfectly staged and acted,
would do more to win votes away from
Tammany Hall than all the orators who
could be turned loose. Their plan Is that
enough tickets to fill the theater be sent
out for each performance to bona fide
voters, with particular care paid to en
rolled Democrats.
This Idea has not yet been adopted, but
the fact that it has even been considered
demonstrates that the next campaign
will be waged on strictly up-to-date lines.

BARON" IS FRAUD
Portuguese Who Won Love of
Young Girl Is Crook.
LAYER ATTEMPTS MURDER
Pseudo Xobleman Tries to - Kill
Fiance's Sister, but Failing
Pleads Extenuation and Is
Given Light Sentence.
PARIS. June 12. (Special. )-I am the
Baron de San Martino," said a dark
haired, round-faced young Portuguese to
a confiding young girl one evening in a
brasserie of the Quartler Latin. The
girl had -only recently begun life on the
stage in an artistic lyrique. It was a case
of love at first sight, and the next day
the "baron" was presented by her to her
parents. A lightning engagement fol
lowed, during which time the "Baron de
San Martino" lived In the house of his
future father and mother-in-law as their
son.
A short time before the wedding was to
take place their intended son-in-law sud
denly disappeared, together with $9,000
which he had stolen from the safe. The
good people then learned that the self
styled Baron had only the right to be
called Juan Campos, and had left Portu
gal after embezzling from his employer
to the extent of some $1400.
It was not long before they were aware
that he was living in great style at Trou
ville on the money which he had appro
priated. Their daughter, the disappoint
ed bride, accompanied by her elder sis
ter, followed him to Trouville to compel
him to disgorge what was left. He con

sented to do so, and went to Havre with
the sister of his one-time fiancee, to
whom he gave the greater part of the
money.
But in the train, on his way back, he
attempted nfurder. The young woman
said- that while she was dozing he put a
revolver to her head and fired several
shots, failing to kill her only by a mir
acle. As it was, however, she lost one
eye. He next tried to strangle her, but
the blood that flowed from her wounds
made his fingers so slippery that he could
not hold her. and she screamed for help.
The young man was captured on the
following day and has just been tried at
Rouen. According to him, he was exas
perated by the remarks of the young wo
man. The Jury delivered a verdict of guilty,
with extenuating circumstances, and the
ex-Baron de San Martino was sentenced
to seven years at hard labor.
Mexico as a Cattle Country.
, (Houston Post.)
"Mexico is fast becoming the great
cattle country of the American con
tinent, and Northern Mexico is the
ideal cattle country of Mexico," said
G. B. McDermott, of Nacozari, who was
in Houston yesterday. "As the farm
ers and sheepmen have forced the cat
tlemen of the great Southwest of the
United States to move their ranges,
they are naturally seeking .the most
favorable localities, and Northern
Mexico seems to appeal more forcibly
to them than any other section. Cattle
are being moved rapidly Into -Mexico
from the United States, and the cattle
men of Mexico are now paying more
attention to their herds than formerly,
with the result that an, excellent qual
ity of beef is being built up In the re
public." Groton, Mass., a Tramp's Paradise.
(Groton, Mass.. Times.)
The Times enters a protest against
the present method Groton takes with
tramps. At present they are given a
loaf of bread and can of salmon or
piece of cheese and directed to the
lockup, where they find the door open
to receive them. They build a fire,
make themselves at home, and go
whenever and wherever they like. If
this continues, Groton will be the
tramps' headquarters and the village
at their mercy.

NEAT SEA DRESSES
At Least Six Suits for Girl Who
Would Be in Style.
ENGLISH SEASON BEGINS
Princess - and Directoire Styles in
Greatest Demand, and Many
Cute Effects Are Devised
by . Dressmakers.
LONDON. June 12. (Special.) A few
days of warm weather have proved a
boon to the seaside girl, for all the latest
fashions in bathing gowns have suddenly
put In an early appearance. Bathing
costumes will be even more elaborate this
season. If possible, than Summer frocks,
and experts have discovered that mod
era women require educating In the art
of sea fashions. A West End modiste,
who is making a special feature of ar
tistic bathing gowns, explaining the lat
est, modes yesterdar.
"There Is one noticeable change in sea
fashions." she said. "While a couple of
years ago one blue serge costume was
considered good enough for the seaside,
the up-to-date woman will not find half
a dozen bathing gowns too many this
season. There are several elaborate silk
costumes for sunny days, the more sub
stantial garment for a big sea, the "early
morning dip' costume, and the neat Jer
sey gown to wear for deep-sea swim
ming. The most popular costumes will
be in the Frincesse and the directoire
style.
"The directoire is a neat, closely-fitting
costume, giving the short-waisted effect,
fastening down the left side, with a
closely -fitting sleeve and a . little turn-
J
4v
down collar. It looks remarkably well
made of black silk and worn with a bril
liant scarlet or old rose mob-cap. These
directoire gowns are also being made in
the pale shades. A beautiful example Is
made of azure blue silk, embroidered
with little true-lovers' -knots in chestnut
brown. A tie of brown, a brown silk
mob-cap tied with azure ribbons, blue
stockings; and . long brown boots lined
with blue, and laced with brown ribbon
give the finishing touches.
"The Princess dress is made with a
shaped panel back and front, these panels
being bordered with tiny buttons. Novel
little beach gowns will be worn rnis
Summer. They are intended for paddling
only, and are made of art-colored unen,
with short kilted skirts and tucked
bodices. The neck is finished with a
turn-down Puritan collar and soft sailor
knot tie, and linen sunbonnets to match,
will be worn. Bathing capes will replace
bathing coats to slip over the bathing
gown to run from a house or tent to the
sea. They are circular capes, maae of
blanket materials In pale pink, white or
turquoise blue."
A Clergyman Who Refuses Fees.
Utlca, N. Y., Press.
Rev. Norman O. Hutton, who recently
accepted the pastorate of a Chicago
church, In his first sermon announced that
he would take no money from any family
in his congregation for his attendance at
a baptism, burial, wedding, or any other
special service for which it Is usual for
a minister to receive a fee. "The money
somehow robs the ceremony of its beauty
and dignity. The parish pays the rector
fo his time, and I believe that he should
give it freely." That Is a liberal propo
sition, but if generally adopted many rural
clergymen would be forced to strict econ
omy in household expenses. Still, the prin
ciple is light. The church pays the clergy-,
man a salary for his time, and it ought
to be large enough so that he will not
be compelled to take .fees or tips from his
parishioners for any ministerial service
they may require.
The Made-at-Home Hat.

Women get mighty little encouragement
In economy. When a woman confesses
that she made her gown or trimmed her

effect that the article - in question

pressed Will Be Sold at
Public Auction.
LONDON, June 12. (Special.) Al
gernon Swinburne left a number of un
collected writings in the form of pri
vately printed pamphlets, of which
only one or two copies are In exist
ence. A library of these rarities la to
be disposed of at Messrs. Sotheby's, and,
as the poet's recent death has been fol
lowed by a demand for first impres- '
sions of his writings, considerable com- '
petition for possession of these literary
treasures Is probable.
The items Include: "Dead Love," In
the original wrapper, 1864. 15 pp. The
story has never been reprinted. "Cleo
patra," in the original wrapper. 1866;
no reprint "Siena." the first published

Propose Horseless Sunday to Prove
Streets Cleaner and Safer
With Autos.
LONDON. June 12. (Special.) A re
markable experiment is being arranged in
the City of Westminster, at the sugges
tion of Mr. Thompson -Lyon, chairman of
the highways committee of the Westmin
ster City Council. The commitete of the
Commercial Motor-Users' Association will
act with the Westminister local authori
ties in bringing about a horseless Sun
day perhaps some time next October.
The cost of the experiment may be con
siderable, and its object would be to
show:
That London would be a cleaner place
if only motor vehicles used the streets,
and that traffic could be handled and ex
pedited with greater ease with only one
class of vehicles.
'In an interview, Mr. Thompson-Lyon
saio, that Sunday was selected because
H" e"oeriment was practicable only on
a Excepting passenger vehicles,
uiere wav hardly any horse traffic on
Sunday.
"Obviously. -a cannot use only one

from that area. As the big bus ccw
panies run both motor and horse vehicles,
no doubt, terms could be arranged with
them. And as to the smaller folk. If
necessary, we should compensate them
for any loss."
The night before the experiment the
street would be thoroughly washed and
no sand or ballast put down, as Is tho
practice now. It is claimed that with
motor traffic only there will be a saving
of taxes, no water carts would be re
quired to lay the dust, because there
would be none to lay, and consequently
road repairs would be less frequently
necessary.
"The streets would be more sanitary;
there would be no mud, no side slips and
although the motor traffic would proceed
at a relatively slower speed, it would be
a uniform speed.
"It is my opinion that with only motor
traffic on the streets, the traffic problem
of London would be nearly solved."
Ecuador Horses In Pantaloons.
(New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
In the hot spring sunshine a good
many horses wore sunbonnets.
"Equine sunbonnets are very well,1
said a veterinary, "but what would you
say to equine trousers? You'll see them
in Guayaquil. There the mosquitoes
and green-head flies are so thick that
horses and donkeys, unless their legs
are cased in cloth, become Unmanage
able from the pain.
"Guayaquil is in Ecuador. It is di
rectly under the equator. The heat
there Is insufferable. ' Up and down its
narrow and foul-smelling streets in
bluish clouds of buzzing insects walk
horses and donkeys in sunbonnets and
pantaloons."
Vancouver Island Pheasants.
(Baily's Magazine.)
It is reported that the whole of Van
couver Island, B. C-. is now well
Itocked with pheasants, which have
long been thoroughly acclimatized and
breed freely. The history of pheasant
acclimatization in Vancouver is sim
plicity Itself. In 1883 C. W. R. Thomp
son, of Victoria, imported 25 birds from
China, kept them in, captivity till young,
had been hatched out. and set all at
liberty as soon as the chicks were
strong enough. In 1886 Mr. Musgrave
Imported 11 more birds, and turned
them out, and from these 36 pheasants
the whole of Vancouver and many of
the adjacent islands have been stocked.
