HARD FIGHT AHEAD
La Follette Begins to Make
Ready for Re-election.
HIS LIEUTENANT ACTIVE
Herman Ii. Ekern Resigns as Deputy
Insurance Commissioner, Making
Attempt to Belittle Significance,
but Struggle Is Forecasted.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 28. (Special)
Politically, perhaps, the biggest event
of the week was the resignation of
Herman L. Ekern aa Deputy Insurance
Commissioner. While an attempt has
been made by Commissioner Beedle and
Mr. Ekern himself to attach little If
any significance to the resignation, it la
known that the relations between the
two have been very much strained
since it was learned that Ekern would
be a candidate for the office held by
Beedle.
While this may have contributed
something; to Ekern's determination to
quit office at this time, it Is said his
real object la to make it possible for
him to devote his entire time to the
La Follette campaign. Ekern and La
Kollette have been political cronies for
many years and it was Ekern who
managed the Presidential campaign of
the senior Senator at Chicago last
Summer.
That Ekern would cut off his con
nection with the state administration
thus early la significant, and la Indi
cative of La Follette'B conviction that
he will have a hard fight next Summer
to taln his hold rA the Senatorshlp.
A factor that r,olitlciana of both par
ties In Wisconsin must reckon with,
but which has been given scant atten
tion up to this time. Is the position the
Society of Equity will take toward In
dividual candidates. Except Its offi
cers, no one in the state knows the
real strength of the organization, but
ttiat it Is a power In certain sections
of the state, especially in the North
west, Is admitted.
BEQUEST IS CONTESTED
Pacific Cniversity Claim Taken to
Supreme Court.
ALBANY. Or- Aug. 28. (Special.)
Pacific University must contest in the
State Supreme Court for the bequest It
received from Kobert McCuIlough in
192. Attorneys for the defendants to
day filed in the Circuit Court here a
notice of appeal to the higher tribunal
in the case of the President and Trus
tees of Pacific University and Tualatin
Academy vs. Emma A. Keene, et al.
The value of the .bequest is said to be
between $1600 and $2000.
When McCuIlough died in 1892, he
devised his Linn County farm to his
wife for her life, and provided that
upon her death It should go to the
Foreat Grove school. Mrs. McCuIlough
died in 1900, and in the meantime the
devise had become entangled by a num
ber of deeds and mortgages covering
portions of the farm.
This suit was filed here August 16,
1906, to quiet the title to the property,
and it waa strenuously oontested by
the numerous defendants until April
1 last, when Judge William Oallo
way rendered a decision In favor of the
plaintiffs. The land given to the unl
versity Is valuable, but a number of
mortgages must be paid and other
claims settled before a clear title Is
secured under the decree, and the exact
value of the bequest cannot be accu
rately determined.

UNION WOULD DICTATE
SPOKAXE PLUMBERS ISSUE TW
WORKING RULES.
Employers Assert They Will Declare
Open Shop Before Accept
ing Demands.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 28. (Special.)
Aa a result of communications containing
working rules, which were sent yester
day afternoon by the Journeymen Plumb
ers & Steam & Gasfitters' Union to the
master plumbers of this city who employ
union help, the masters may decide to
declare for the open shop.
The masters declare that the old order
has changed; that the employes are now
laying down rules to the bosses. The
innocent pieces of pasteboard which were
received by the masters yesterday are
the sensation among the plumbers of
Spokane today.
The masters assert that if they are
obliged to obey the rules to the letter
they will be unable to make good on the
contracts they now have in hand. It la
rumored today that two of the largest
shops of the city which now employ
union help will declare for the open shop
as soon as conditions permit.
The rules, 29 in number, relate to the
hours of work, wages and the use of
tools. The rules supplant the working;
agreement which was entered Into be
tween the Journeymen and masters on
April 1 and broken by the Journeymen
several weeks ago. The masters say that
the work which they now have on hand
waa figured on under the working agree
ment and that the rules which now have
been laid down are much more stringent
than the conditions of that agreement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Common
sense has been displaced by visionary
theories, already proved unsuccessful in
the problems of the West development,
according to Ormaby McHarg, assistant
secretary of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, who is outspoken in
the declaration that too much "dreaming"
has been indulged In in dealing with
the Government irrigation projects and
forest conservation policies In the West.
Mr. McHarg handled vigorously the sub
ject of the uplift movement, declaring
that to have directed a government, of
"uplift" among the farmers waa an in
sult to the finest element in the country's
body politlo and the "absurdest of ab
surd dreams."
Mr. McHarg In an interview flatly con
tradicted the assertion of the forest serv
ice that the lumber aupply of the coun
try will virtually be exhausted in anoth
er generation if the present rate of-cut
ting is not curtailed.
There Is enough timber standing In the
state of Washington alone to supply this
country for 0 years," he declared. Vast
supplies remain' in other states, said the
secretary, sufficient to maintain a supply
for a much longer period, which could
not and need not be estimated. The
abundance of the forests was such that
the alarmists' statements as to the ap
proaching exhaustion of the supply waa
utterly unfounded, he asserted.
"Furthermore," said Mr. McHarg, "the
forest service has been put In possession
of facts and figures proving the truth of
what I say, and it has failed to make
them public
"Methods too dream-like are being pur
sued In our forest administration. It Is
attempted to designate what tree the log
ger may cut down and that which he
may not cut down. Knowledge of log
ging Is applied. Men who are doing the
practical developing work of the West
are hindered and thwarted, and you hear
nothing but cursing from them for the
present methods of forest conservation.'
"Out near Cheyenne recently, a woman
settler went on a forest reserve and cut
rails for a small corral. The forest serv
ice have had her indicted for this heinous
crin- What do you think the attitude
of every man in that community Is
toward the forest service? That's the
feeling you encounter throughout the
West.
"Leave the. West alone. Let It go ahead
and develop. Let the red-blooded men
out there do this work. It won't be long
when the East will be the back door of
ttie Nation."
Mr. McHarg said there was much com
plaint in the West against the reclama
tion service as It has been conducted.
"Extravagance and Incompetency are
tne charges that have been made," he
explained, "and these are now being In
vestigated, I am Informed, In the present
tour of the West by Secretary of the In
terior' Balllnger and the Senate commit
tee."
Mr. McHarg said he knew of engineer
ing projects in the atate of Washington
where It had been assured settlers that
the cost would be no more than $35 an
acre.
"The cost is already 75 an acre," said
the assistant secretary, "and the end
not yet."

Girl Says She Is Beaten and
Robbed by Thugs.
IS ON WAY TO CEREMONY
Tells Tale of Attack by Robbers
After Being Picked Up by People
on Street Who Find Her Un
conscious Police Dubious.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 28. (Special)
Knocked down and beaten by thugs and
robbed of her savings on the eve of her
marriage was the fate tonight of Pearl
E. Ax, according to the girl's own atory.
Miss Ax. who is 18 years old, was to
have been married tonight to James H.
Miller. She says while walking on
Asylum avenue Just at dark this evening
she waa stopped by two rough-looking
men and ordered to hand over her money.
When she resisted, she was knocked
down and beaten and left unconscious on
the sidewalk.
She was picked up by passers-bv.
placed on a streetcar and brought to the
City Hall, where she discovered that her
pocketbook. containing $16.86 was miss
ing. She can give no description of her
assailants.
The girl has been employed at the home
of S. P. Kimball, a prominent fruit
grower living near West Salem. In the
application for the marriage license she
statea that she Is an orphan, has no
relatives and no guardian In this state.
She Is not seriously injured. Miller, the
girl's fiance, is the son of an old news
paper man, formerly employed on a Sa
lem iaper. The wedding has been postponed.
The police are somewhat skeptical, but
are making a thorough Investigation.
In store for her sweetheart, Frank
Williamson.
While Williamson declares that he
shot- the girl before shooting himself,
the police believe that Miss Woods fired
the shot at herself, and then William
son took the weapon from her and. In
endeavoring to fulfill the agreement
between them, shot himself. One bright
spot looms up out of the tragedy, and
that Is that both will recover, and as
each declare an undying love. It Is
likely that they will marry "and live
happily ever after."
