THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 22, 1909. NO ROYAL FRILLS FOR El 111 Will .Leave; Steamer on Tug and Meet Reporters When He Lands In America. CHAMPAGNE BATHS! BOSHI Wizard's Secretary Evaporates Pipe Dreams or Yellow. Journalist. Jlarrlruan Going to Arden to Flnl&h Cure. NEW YORK, Aug. 21- (Special.) The talk that Mr. Harrlman will be received with honors and pomp of an uncrowned king Is absurd to those who know him most Intimately, as are the stories that he Is virtually on his death bed, and that his active lire Is at an end." Charles C. Tesethoff. E. H. Harrl- man's confidential secretary, thus set at rest today the rumors that the finan cier was to be met at sea by a private yacht and hurried to hlB borne at Arden under such close guard as surrounds only a Czar or an Emperor. Jfo Champagne Baths. "As for the so-called champagne baths and all that Dr. Struempel. the German specialist. Is quoted as having recommended, I don't know any more than I have read In the papers, but it Is my guess that Air. Harrlman won't have much time to pay attention to fussy wrinkles about his goings and comlnps. He will just lead a quiet, sane life, and nature will do the rest." Will lt Reporters See He's Well. Mr. Tegethoff thus outlined the plans for Mr. Harrimans reception on his homecoming: "One of the bis tugs, of the Southern Taciflc fleet will meet the Kaiser Wllhelm II In the lower harbor and take Mr. Har rlman to the Erie Railroad station, where, unless his plans are changed, he will meet reporters and they can Judge of his condition for. themselves. The talk of his being met at sea by a private yacht and hurried to his home at Arden under su h close guard as surrounds only a Czar is- bosh. "Mr. Harrlman Is very far from being a sick man. Our advices from him are that he is greatly improved. His going to Arden is not because he Is ill, but be cause he wishes to complete his cure." Xo Board Meetings at Arden. Asked as to the possibility of Mr. Har ri man's transacting his business for the future at Arden and having the board meetings of the Union and Southern Pa cific directors, which are scheduled for Tuesday, held there, Mr. Tegethoft said: "They have managifi to get along pretty well without him on other occa sions and he must have a complete rest at Arden, and it Is the expectation he will take up bis activities again after that." Henry Hagetoteln. as chairman of the county committee, representing that party In the City and County of Ban Francisco, petitioner, vs. George I. hi, Thomaa V. Cater, Charles Glldea, Hugh Mclsaao and N. C. v einnoiz, as of election commissioners of the City and County of San Francisco, and J. H Zemansky. the Registrar of Voters of said city and county, respondents, as written by Associate Justice Lorigan, and in which Justices Melvin. Henshaw, Sloss, Shaw and Chief Justice Beatty concurred: "Thus, the Legislature, In the Interest of the party Integrity, not only wisely but as a duty, sought by test requirement to confine the right of electors to vote for candidates of a party, , to those who had registered as affiliating with the party, and likewise confined the right of a person to have his name printed upon the official ballot as a candidate for nomination by a party at such primary i.4n.. hn in his affidavit de- ' clared that he affiliated with such party at the last preceding general and who voted, if he voted at all, for a majority of the candidates of the party at Buch election, and intends to so vote at the ensuing election. "Under the test provided In this act the person can have his name printed on the official ballot only as a candidate at a primary of the party with which he affliliated at the last general election. Likewise under the act an elector can only vote for persons to be candidates of the party with which he has registered that he animates. These provisions deny the Indiscriminate right of a person to become a candidate upon the official bal lot of all parties or of any other party than the party with which he Is affiliated, as It denies also the indiscriminate right of an elector to vote for persons as candi dates of any other party than the one he has declared his affiiUation with." BOOTH MAY LOSE SIGHT Commander of Salvation Army Has Operation on Eye. LONDON'. Aug. 21.

INDEPENDENT, HENEY SAYS (Continued from First Page.) tions if the law permitted me to do so, and 1 would hate been a candidate for nomination by the Republican party at the primary election had the Supreme Court not construed the primary law as it did. "If my understanding of the court's decision is correct, my name cannot be put on the ballot at the general election as the candidate either of the Demo cratic or tne Independence League party, notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the members of each of those parties who voted at the primary election announced their desires to have my name appear as their candidate. "The only way In which I can become a candidate Is by petition signed by a certain percentage of the voters who did nt vote at the primary election, re questing that my name be placed on the ballot at the general election as an Independent candidate. Confident of Success. "A petition for this purpose will be ' circulated by some- of my friends and , the voters of San Francisco will then i be given an opportunity to express themselves at the general election upon the question as to whether they want the graft prosecutions to be con tinued or not. It will be a straight ls ' sue In so far as I am concerned, and the people will be given an opportunity to determine whether the good name of San Francisco shall be vindicated or not. "The Issue has already, been made as to Patrick Calhoun and his criminal as sociates. There will be no escape from It. The prosecution, so-called, does not need vindication at the ballot-box. It has accomplished a great task by ex posing the corruption which existed ar.d by the conviction of Schmltz and Ruef, not to mention Glass and Coffey. Fan Francisco does need vindication, however, from the often repeated charge that her citizens prefer a cor rupt government. AVillins to Make Sacrifice. "I do not want the office of District Attorney. I can ill afford to take it at my age: but I am determined to give the good people of San Francisco an opportunity to save the city's good name. I am grateful to those members of the Democratic and Independence League parties who voted for me at the primary election, and equally grate ful to those Republicans who recorded their allegiance to ttie cause of Justice by writing my name upon their ballots. "I feel confident that a great major ity of the voters of San Francisco will declare In favor of the enforcement of the criminal laws at the general elec tion. The corrupter Is worse than the corrupted. The rich and Influential criminal must be punished with the same certainty as the poor and friend less one. This Republic cannot long survive If anr man or class of men Is above the law. (Signed.') "FRANCIS J. HENEY."

DENVER, Aug. 21 Further desultory debating in the forestry reserve contro versy marked the last hours of the Trans Mississippi Congress and with the adop tion of a resolution prepared by Thomas M. Patterson, ex-Un!ted States Senator from Colorado, the sine die adjournment took place. One of the last actions was the adop tion of a resolution calling upon Con gress to repeal the lo-cents-per-pound-tax on oleomargarine. There was some ob jection by the dairy, interests, but this faded away when the oleomargarine rep resentatives offered no objection to the retention of the oleomargarine stamp on all imitation butter. The Patterson resolution calls on Con gress for action defining the boundary of the forest reserves in such a manner as to exclude mineral and agricultural land. Frank Gowdy, of Denver, considered that the resolution Implied an attack on Glf ford rinchot, and opposed the resolution. It was not until a resolution commending the Forestry Bureau was adopted that the Patterson resolution was accepted and peace was declared. While the reso lution passed in a partial report of the resolutions committee yesterday. It re ceived further consideration today upon the complete report, which was finally adopted. The short session of the congress will be held In San Antonio. Tex., in 1010. The following officers were elected In addition to Colonel Ike T. Prior, of San Antonio.

McGulre. of Ne braska, spoke on Inland waterways, dur ing which he said the United States Gov ernment had better spend money in de veloping inland water routes than In giv ing It to the shipping trusts and building battleships to ward off imaginary foes. He declared the waterway will be the surest way of settling the rate question, and will work no hardship on the rail roads, because the latter are now unable to carry the commerce of the country and will be less able in a few years.

SPOKANEi Wash., Aug. 21. That many lives were not lost when the southbound Spokane Falls & Northern passenger train crashed through the bridge near Darts Siding at A, M. today was almost a miracle. Rounding a curve and running though burning brush, the engineer could not see the blazing bridge till too late to stop the train. The engine ran clear across before the bridge broke, let ting the baggage and mail car tumble Into the ravine. The weight of the car dragged the engine back and down, but fortunately the car coupling broke, leav ing the two passenger cars standing on the brink above. All the passengers es caped safely, but the blazing wreck, set fire to the cars still on the track and all the coaches were burned. Engineer Gillette sustained Injuries about the head, and for a time It was thought he was killed. Mark Hanna was conductor of the unlucky train.

MINGLE TRV TO El TUFT IN POLITICS La Follette's Friends Blame Him for Holding Up Appointment. PROBABLY HIS OWN DOING Delay In Confirmation of McElroy Attributed by "Little Bobs-" Men to Taft, but Probably He Is Playing Old Trick. MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) An attempt will be made by the friends of Senator La Follette to get President Taft mixed up In Wisconsin politics on his visit to Milwaukee next month. The arrangements for the Presidential visit are In the hands of several business organizations, the heads of which are In sympathy with Mr. Taffs policies; but they are per sonally antagonistic to Mi;. La Follette, who, they declare, represents a frag ment of the Republican party that has strong Democratic tendencies. "Who Holds Vp McElroy's Job? It has been Intimated that Mr. Taft Is responsible for holding up the ap pointment of W. J. McKlroy for United States District Attorney for the Eastern district of Wisconsin. Mr. McElroy has been one of the most faithful lieuten ants Mr. La Follette has had in this state, and it Is currently reported that he "needs the job." As far as six months ago he was promised the ap pointment, but. though his name was sent In for confirmation, the office Is still held by district Attorney Butter field, a stalwart Republican. A strange situation has presented Itself, as Mr. Butterfield has made personal applica tion to be relieved from the duties of the office. One of "Little Bob's" Tricks. Now some friends of Mr. La Follette are blaming Mr. Taft for this peculiar situation, and Mr. La Follette has de clined to give his own explanation of the matter. Those who know "Little Bob" best are satisfied that this situa tion Is of his own seeking. He is merely following out what has been his prac tice ever since he became a power In Wisconsin politics. It has always been his practice to dangle some fine plum In front of the nose of his lieutenants, who were thus spurred on to work the harder in his interest. Then, having cot what he desired, he would give the office to whomsoever he thought most fit. LYNCHERS BELIEVE NEGRO Denies Guilt With Noose on Neck and Hanging Is Called Off. M'CRAE, Oa.. Aug. 21.

HAYARD GETS OFFERS EASTERX COLLEGES AFTER OREGOX'S TRAIXER. Development of Seattle's Victorious Team at A. A. TJ. Meet Makes Trainer Famous. EUGENE, Or., Aug. 21. (Special.) Trainer Bill Hayward left today with a party of friends to seek rest In the tall timbers at the head of the Willamette River. When Bill's mood responds to the wild caroling of the birds and the soft sighing of the woods, he will pluck the petals from a pine cone and decide whether he will return to the University of Oregon to train Its athletes. "I nave received four flattering offers from Eastern colleges." he confided to an Oregonian representative previous to his departure. "But I am loath to leave Oregon," and the foxy trainer who, with Seattle Athletic Club recruits, had con quered five athletes from Chicago and seven from New York who competed in the Olympic games, rubbed his chin remlnlscently. Referring to the recent A. A. U. meet. Hayward said: "President Sullivan, of the A. A. U., declares that Edmundson Is the greatest half-mller In the world, and I am of the same opinion. Any time that boy starts down the track again without the handi cap of a heavy wind, he will smash the world s record. In practice one day ne made the distance in 1:51 4-5. The record is 1:53 3-5. I was dubious about making the record public, fearing the wise ones would laugh at me, but he sure steppsd it off in that time. Twenty minutes af terward Edmundson ran the quarter on the oval in :48 1-5. The record on the straightaway in this e-vent Is 47 seconds. held by Max Long, of the old Knicker bocker Athletic Club. I tell you this youngster is a world-beater." From the manner in which Hayward discussed his probable removal It is doubtful If Oregon will be able to retain this clever trainer s services.

Supervisor Weigle, of the Coeur d'Alene forest service at Wallace, stated this evening it was Impossible to gain definite information regarding the ex tent of the fire on the Coeur d'Alene reservation, but, Judging- from informa tion received by telephone this after noon, he thought the estimate that a million and a half feet of fine timber had been destroyed is probably low. A message received stated the homes of several settlers were in danger and supposed to be burned, but loss of life is not feared, as settlers in the path of the flames had ample warning. Persons coming down the lake past the burning region say only logged-off lands are burned, as far as they can see and the Blackwell Lumber Com pany, largest holders of timber there, declares the property loss to timber Is nominal and reports of tires grossly ex aggerated.
