FOLLOWS LA FOLLETTE'S LEAD Though Enemy of Corpora tions, Says Tax Is Unfair. BRISTOW AND STUBBS HURT Get No Patronage and Appointment Given Them Is Taken Away on Curtis' Demand Stubbs Aching for Fight. TOPEKA, Kan., July 10. (Special.) The resting here Is that the people of Kansaa are opposed to the tax on cor poration embodied In the Aldrlch tar iff bill. The square-deal Republicans Were inclined to be dissatisfied with President Taft and now that he is in favor of a corporation tax, it is be lieved the square-deal faction, headed by Governor Stubbs, Attorney-General Jackson and Bank Commissioner Dol ley, will find other reasons for dis agreeing with him. These leaders look to Senator LaFollette for Inspiration and they advised Senator Bristow, when he went- to Washington, to follow the lead of Senators LaFollette, Dolliver, Cummins and Nelson in National poli cies. Slights Bristow and Stubbs. There is another reason why Mr. Etubbs and his barkers would like to break with the President, and the cor poration tax may furnish them the ex cuse. So far Mr. Bristow has not been able to secure any patronage for the square-dealers, and it looker as it he is not in very close touch with the White House. This fact is commented on in Kansas freely, and It Is pointed to as an indication that the LaFol lette followers In this state will not fare very well in the distribution of Federal offices. And then, the turning down of the Governor a month or more- ago by the President has left a sore spot that will not heal. Mr. Stubbs, It will be remem bered, secured the appointment of Rob ert Stone, a Topeka lawyer, to a lucra tive office, but the appointment was speedily revoked upon representations made by Senator Curtis and several of '.he Kansas Representatives. Say Tax Will Discriminate. The contention of Kansans is that the corporation tax is discriminatory in Its workings and that it gives one mer chant or business man a big advantage aver another. The square-deal Repub licans of the state have been rabid against all corporations, and it seems peculiar now to hear them defending these organizations against the policy Of Mr. Taft. ASSASSIN EXCUSES ACT Dhlnagrl Says English Have Mur dered 80,000,000 in India. LONDON. July 10. Maderlal Dhtnagrl, the Indian student, who on July 1 shot and killed Lieutenant-Colonel Sir William Hutf Curxon-Wyllle and Dr. Cawas La.loa.ca, was today committed for trial at the Old Bailey for murder. The pris oner denied the right of any English law court to arrest or sentence him. "If It is patrtotio for Englishmen to fight against Germani If they occupy this country," ho said. "Then It Is much more Justifiable and more patriotic In my case to fight against the English. I hold that the English, people are respon sible for the murder of 80,000,000 of my countrymen during the last 60 years and that they are also responsible for th taking from India of 1100,000,000 every year." WANS HARRY MURPHY SHOWS SOME THINGS AS - Taint e.nlte up to oar usual taadanU U It, Old Miol' PERSIAN REBELS TO DEPOSE SHAH CAPTURE OF TEHERA TO BE CERTAIN. HELD Governor's Cossacks Can Only Pro tect Shah People Hostile to Russia. ST. PETERSBURG. July 10. The Russian expedition from Baku which landed at Enzeli, a Persian seaport on the Caspian yesterday, is made up of 1000 Russian and 800 Cossack cavalry, with eight field guns and eight machine pruns. Despite the correct attitude maintained by the Russians, the natives are demonstrating their unfriendliness. The unopposed advance of Slphldar, the leader of the revolutionists, and Sardarasad, the chief of the Bakhtlarl tribesmen, towards Teheran, is taken here to mean that General Llakhoff, the Governor of Teheran, considers his force inadequate to engage in a general battle, and that he has decided to em ploy his Cossack brigade merely as a guard over the life of the Shah. Persons well informed here regard the entrance of the revolutionists into Teheran as a foregone conclusion, while the deposition of the Shah, which sev eral times has been mooted, will now cause no surprise. ECHO OF ESTACADA FEUD Attorney Bartlett Arrested for Carry ing Concealed Weapon. OREGON CITY, Or., July 10. (Spe cial.) E. W. Bartlett, an attorney of F.stacada, who is allied with the Heyl man faction there, was arrested today on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, and the hearing was set before Justice of the Peace Samson on July 23. Mr. Bartlett was represented by Attor ney C. D. Latourette. The charge was made by H. V. Ashburn, who states that Bartlett drew a gun on his son, John Ashburn. According to reports received from Estacada young Ashburn had been drinking freely on the Friday preced ing July 4, and insulted Bartlett while the latter was walking on the streets of Estacada in company with his wife. Bartlett knocked him down, and the young man, who is 22 years of age, vowed vengeance, and when the two met on the following Sunday near the pavilion. Ashburn pulled his coat and Bartlett drew his revolver and warned him to keep away. CALVIN STIUIN DANGER Southern Pacific Officer Doing Well, hut Not Past Crisis. SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. The con dition of K. E. Calvin, vice-president and general manager of the Southern Pacific Company, who underwent an operation for appendicitis recently, is said to he satisfactory. lr. F. K. Ainsworth, chief surgeon of the company, however, refuses to say that all danger is past. Mr. Cal vin is the only patient In the new railroad hospital erected by the com pany since the fire of 1906, and which will be formally opened next week.

First Mate Frank Christlanson was struck on the head by a piece of wire tackle and his skull fractured. Rough bandages were applied, and the fur naces kept at white heat under the boiler until the Injured man was landed at the hospital, where the doctors pro nounced his condition hopeful. JAP GRAFTER IS SUICIDE Head of Sugar Company ' Shoots Himself After Conviction. TOKIO. July 10. M. Sakao, president of the Japanese Sugar Company, con victed during the recent trial of the so called sugar scandal cases, committed suicide today by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. Sakao was one of the 23 persons. nine of them members of the lower house of the Diet, on whom sentence was pronounced a few days ago. How about this. Mister Weather Mast TAFT'S DEMANDS WILL BE Otherwise Tariff Bill Will Be Senate's. ALDRIGH RULES CONFERENCE Cannon Names Men Who Will Yield to His Wish. LUMBER DUTY TO BE $1 Taft Demands That Rate and Re ductions on Other Goods Clever Move by Cannon to De- 4 feat Kansas Iusurgents. WASHINGTON. July 10. (Special.) According to well-informed members of Congress, one week or ten .days will suffice for the conference committee to reach an agreement on the tariff bill and the programme to follow the lines of the Senate bill, as far as can be done without provoking a veto. The President wants free oil, lumber at $1, hides at 5 per cent, with a correspond ing reduction on all leather goods, iron ore free, and the corporation tax put at 1 per cent, instead of 2. It is safe to assume that the Persident's wishes in these respects will be granted. W1U Pass Aldrlch Bill. The - composition of the- conference committee practically Insures the vic tory of the Aldrlch bill, modified as in dicated. With all its bluster of yes terday, the House will have to give in. Sereno Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee, demanded that the conferees from his committee should be chosen according to their seniority, . but Speaker Cannon refused to accede to his demand. Cannon, of course, was opposed to low-tariff men HkJMoCaJL-but he could not Ignore the Massachusetts man, so he added Dalzell, Fordney and Calderhead, then put on Boutell as his own personal rep resentative. Payne and McCall will tight for the House bill. ' The other four will be against them. Needham might have been a conferee, but, as. he believed he ought to stand for the bill he helped to make, the Speaker feared to put him on the committee. . Cannon Spike's Brlstow's Guns. Calderhead's appointment was a clever political move. The Kansas delegation asked for it and by granting the request the Speaker made sure of six or eight Nebraska votes for the rule, beside which he spiked Senator Brlstow's guns. The progressives in Kansas, behind Bristow, Murdock and Madison, have been making it look om inous for Senator Curtis. It is hoped by the latter and his friends that the bill finally passed will demonstrate Its own merits and rehabilitate the politi cal fortunes and forces of the regulars. TWO SUBJECTS OF CONFLICT Cheaper Woolens and Cottons Are Issues Before Conferees. WASHINGTON, July 10.-Cheaper cot ton and woolen goods and cheap hosiery and women's gloves the fdrmer de manded by the House and the latter by the " Senate promise to be among the most stubbornly fought questions in the congressional conference on the taTlff bill. At least that is the way things ap pear at the close of the first day's ses sion. There was a great deal of speculation today among leaders In Congress who are not parties to the conference as to what shall be done with those items. Many members express the opinion that the House will yield on cotton and wool and the Senate on gloves and hosiery in compliance with the protectionists ideas of etandpattlsm. If this should be the outcome, it Is predicted . that vigorous protests would be made in both the Senate and the House from advocates of downward revision. Some members went so far as to Bay that an effort would be (Concluded on Page 2.) THEY APPEAR TO HIM, My boy, I'm proud of yon. GRANTED INDEX TO TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

TWO-YEAR SEARCH IS ENDED Man Who Killed Gittings Found Defiant After Arrest. THIRSTS FOR MORE BLOOD Blacksmith Who Shot After Charg ing Patrolman With Breaking XTp Home Expected to Return for Trial Without Protest. ' Melville G. Bradley, the slayer of John W. Glttings, Portland policeman. has been run to earth and captured af ter a search that extended as far as South Africa and continued almost con stantly since the date of the crime, December 18, 1907. He was arrested yesterday morning by Chief of Police Fisher, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and is being held in that town awaiting the arrival of Portland officers. According to advices received from Idaho Falls by the police, Bradley has confessed his crime and is' sullen and desperate. It is probable that he will waive extradition and submit to, being brought back to trial without a legal figh-t. Xo Doubt of Identity. The following" telegram, received by Chief of Police Cox last night at 6:30 o'clock closed a telegraphic correspond ence between the' two chiefs which had been under way during the day, and settled beyond doubt that the man caught in Idaho Falls is really Bradley Undoubtedly have right man; says he killed him and if ever gets out will kill another policeman. Signed. "IRA FISHER." Chief of Police Cox telegraphed: "Hold Bradley; will send officer with proper papers." Another message was sent a short time later asking if Bradley would come without legal process. An an swer had not been received up to a late hour 'last night, but the belief is ex pressed, that, in view of Bradley's con fession, he will return without formal ity. Petective . Coleman was selected by Chief of Police Cox and Captain of Detectives Baty to go after the long wanted slayer. He will probably leave for Idaho Falls on this morning's train. Located for Two Weeks. The first intimation the police had of Bradley's discovery' came more than two weeks ago.-when ex-Chief of police Gritzmacher received a letter from Chief Fisher saying that a man who had aroused his suspicions was living in Idaho Falls. The suspect corre sponded closely to the description which the local police had sent out of Bradley In January, 1908, soon after the murder. The man was being kept under surveillance, and a more detailed description was asked for. A photo graph and the description were sent back. Nothing further was Veard until yesterday morning, when a telegram was received saying that the man had been arrested. From earlier correspondence between the two police officials, Bradley had been In Idaho Falls for some time at work at his trade, blacksmlthlng.The details of how he had hidden his Iden tity have not yet reached here. Story of the Shooting. The news of the capture caused many expressions of satisfaction among the members of the police department, . for no killing which has occurred In Port land for years has excited more feeling among the police than did the murder of Gittings. The crime occurred out side of the old Tlvoll saloon, at Sell wood and Delay streets. The shooting followed a quarrel between Bradley and Joe P. Slvener, Bradley's brother-in-law, Glttings being present. Back of It all were ugly rumors which asso- (Concluded on Pays 8.) there'll be something doing,- FIGHT IS STARTED ON LAFOLLETTE "SILKXT WILLIAM" COXXOR MAY TAKE AWAY TOGA. Wisconsin Senator Sees Signs of Xational Campaign and Will Watch. MILWAUKEE. July 10. (Special.) In dications now seem to point to another political duel between Senator LaFollette and W. D. Connor, commonly known as Silent William." Three years ago Con nor beat LaFollette when, as state chair man, he picked up Davidson for Gov ernor after LaFollette had pinned his faith to Lenroot, whom he has since helped Into Congress. Now, Connor is planning, it Is said, to come out for the United States Senatorial nomination. LaFollette is fully aware of what is going on in Wisconsin. He is satisfied that the fight made upon him in this state has far deeper significance and is only part of a Xational fight against him and the principles which he says he repre sents. As soon as Congress adjourns, LaFollette will be back at Madison, and. barring some speeches at county fairs and a few Chautauqua lectures, he will remain at home, where he will meet his friends from every part of the state as occasion demands. ESKIMO WILL SEEK POLE Boy Brought Here by Peary to Try for Arctic Honors. NEW YORK. July 10. (Special.) Sepa rated from his native home for 13 years, Mene Wallace, an Eskimo boy brought to this country with five of his people by Commander Peary from the polar rogions, sailed today on the Ked Cross line steamship Rosalind, for St. Johns X. F., whence he will be conveyed to his home in Greenland. Before Mene sailed, the Arctic Club extracted from him a written agreemen that he would not again return to thi country and that while in Greenland he would not bear arms against the Peary expedition. This was due. it is believed to the fact that Mene, angered at the attitude of Peary and the Arctic Club in refusing to take him back to Greenland, once safe in his native home, might seek revenge for the treatment he received while in this country. Mene said he would organize an expedi tion of Eskimos to find the North Pole. BLOW RESTORES HEARING Boy, Deaf From Birth, Kecovers When Hit on Head by Bail. ASTORIA, Or., July 10. (Special.) Defective in his hearing since his birth, John Jochimsen, 13 years old, by being struck on the head by a baseball last night, has recovered from his infirmity. Jochimsen's hearing had been such that he could make no progress 'in school, although he was recognized by his teachers as a naturally Intelligent boy. While playing last evening, a thrown ball struck him in the head and he fell to the ground. It was feared by his companions that he had been seriously Injured, but he quickly Jumped to his feet, and said something in his head had broken. It was immediately noticeable that the boy's hearing, equal to that of any of his companions, was restored. WRIGHTS POSTPONE TRIAL Will Not Send Repaired Aeroplane Aloft Till Fair Weather. WASHINGTON, July 10. Two thousand persons who waited several hours at Fort Myer today to see Orville Wright make an aeroplane flight were again disap pointed on account of the 18-mile wind.

HUTTON Insists Mrs. Smith Hanged Herself by Own Weight. WILL WORK FROM RANKS Suffragist Leaders Deposed Front Convention Keturn to Fight With Renewed Zeal Have Asked for Recognition. SPOKANE, Wash.. July 10. (Special.) "My name hasn't spelled defeat yet, and I propose to continue to have it spell success in the future." declared Mrs. May Arkwright Hutton, upon her return from Seattle this morning, where she attended the American Women's Suffrage Asso ciation. "The Spokane delegation. 43 strong, w-ent to the National convention with a purpose and It came away victorious." said Mrs. Hutton. "I feel that we ac complished our end and that we got a great deal more than what we hoped for or deserved. It Is true that the Spo kane delegation was thrown out bodily, but right here I want to remark that 22 other clubs, the majority from Seattle, were also unseated. in lo Jtear of Mrs. DeVoe. "The National officers were eminently fair. They are good Christian women, and they won't tolerate ward politics in suffrage conventions. It is too bad that women' heelers were allowed In the con vention, but they gained nothing in tha end. .Right will always win out. I feel that Mrs. Emma Smith DeVoe hanged herself by her own weight. She is down and out now, and we have nothing to fear from her. Even her own towna women went back on her. AVants to Fight in Ranks. "I propose between this day and tha meeting of the new state organization In October to reconnoiter the situation and touch the pulse of the state on woman sufTrage. I don't propose to have my name spell defeat this time in life, and if I discover, after careful investigation, that the cause is best served with me out of it, I shall step down. I shall not accept office in the new state organization. I want to work in the ranks, shoulder to shoulder and el bow to elbow with the good women of this state. After I get hold of a stenog rapher I will dictate a statement which I will sisrn. and which may be circu lated anywhere. It will explain the po sition of the Spokane women at Seattle, with particular reference to myself." Leaders Stand by Delegates. Mrs. LaReine Baker, another dele gate, said: "When we went to Seattle, there was one state' organization whose guests the National and state delegates were. This organization, controlled by Mrs. DeVoe, was of so belligerent and destructive a character that the National officers were compelled to throw them out of the con vention. They also unseated the Spo kane delegation because they asserted that we had padded our membership. Mrs. Hutton, being a vice-president an I member of the executive committee, and myself were allowed In the convention, but had no voice. "Immediately after onr delegation wa unseated we decided fo stick by our delegation. If our women could not at tend the convention, we decided the best thing to do was to form a new organiza tion, and consequently we met In Ellers Hall and formed a new state organiza tion. This new state organization will meet in Spokane in October, about Oc tober 10 to October 17. Delegates from all the state clubs will be represented. We will invite every man and woman In the state over the age of 18 years. "The new state suffrage organization (Concluded on Page 6.) UNDER MAYOR SIMON. Bat twoji n. mtdMammer njffht'a dream.
