    ALL GRAFT -DETAILS
WILL BE REOPENED
New York Stirred by Most Im
portant Revelations Since
Case of Becker.
CAPTAINS MAKE DENIALS
One of Men A censed Is Brotber-ln-Law
of Tammany Leader Many
More Indictments Expected
to Follow Hearing.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. The moat dras
tic Investigation of police graft that
has been attempted since police Lieu
tenant Becker's hired gunmen shot
Herman Rosenthal to death last July
Is said today to be under. way, as a re
sult of the story told to the aldermanlc
committee by James Purcell. who ran
games of chance In many houses under
police protection for nearly 17 years,
according to his testimony.
"Purcell's story will be Investigated
In all its ramifications." it was said at
police headquarters today on behalf of
Commissioner Waldo, who had before
him the four precinct captains still
members ef the force who were accused
by Purcell- They were questioned re
irarding the gambler's allegations that
they took money In return for protec
tion for Purcell.
Murphy' Relative Aeensed.
Each of the four denied in sworn
statements the truth of Purcell's
charges. One of the quartet is Patrick
J. Cray, brother-in-law of Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. The
others are Thomas F. Maude, Patrick
Corcoran and Fred W. Martens.
Purcell did not tell his whole story
on the stand yesterday, it was learned
from the District Attorney's office. The
remainder of it will be saved for the
extraordinary grand .Jury, which will
resume Its work Monday.
District Attorney Whitman plans to
seekflrst the indictment of Police Cap
tain Walsh, under suspension since con
fessing he shared in graft collected by
Patrolman Eugene Fox; Becond, the in
dictment of an official at headquar
ters, a man suspected as the source of
a fund raised to keep George A. Slpp,
a disorderly hotelkeeper from testify
ing before . the grand Jury against
Walsh prior to the latter's confession.
Inspector Sweeney's Case Waits.
Mr. Whitman has deferred for the
time being his purpose to seek the in
dictment of Inspector Dennis Sweeney,
under suspension since Walsh accused
him of having divided graft money with
him.
After Walsh and the headquarters
officials have been indicted, if that
takes place, testimony against Inspector
Sweeney will be heard by the Jury,
which then will take up the allegations
of Purcell. who will be corroborated,
according to the District Attorney, by
witnesses whose names have not been
disclosed.
This is expected to lead to many
more indictments.
BILLS HIT AT POWER FIRM
(Continued From First Page.)
companies supplying interstate service
before.. the act takes effect,, the sup
porters of the bill wouid remove oppo
sition to the measure from the various
other power companies of the state
which supply power to Idaho and to
parts of Oregon.
Such a bill would, however, affect in
addition to the Northwestern Electric
Company, the mammoth new plant of
the Washington Water Power Company
of Spokane, whlc will be used to sup
ply power to mines' and towns of Idaho.
For that reason It is not believed that
with the March 1 restriction the
measure will get into' either branch of
the Legislature with, a iavoraDie re
port. It may be, however, that an attempt
will be made to put through a bill
with provisions so arranged that the
inter-state service limitations will af
fect companies which begin service
after May or June of this year. It is
not believed, that such a measure would
pass either house.
Bis; Power Men Present.
The meeting today was ate,nded by
representatives of the leading power
companies of the state. Among those
present were: W.. E. Coman, general
manager, and Erskine Wood, attorney
for the Northwestern Electric Com
pany, both of Portland, and J. A.
Shackelford, of Tacoma, Northwestern
Company counsel; Frank T. Post, at
torney for the Washington Water
Power Company, of Spokane; J. E.
Davidson, of Pacific Power & Light
Company; H. L. Bleecker, vice-president
of the Washington Water Power Com
pany, and Carrol B. Graves and George
E. Vanderveer, representing the' farm
ing interests of the Horse Heaven
country.
The meeting was called to order by
H. K. Rowland, chairman of the House
committee on irrigation and author
of the House bill. One of the first
speakers was Mr. Vanderveer. who"&e
clared that the bill had been made
drastic for the purpose of bringing out
the power company representatives.
"As a matter of fact," ne said, "we
did not expect to rass the measure as
it was first introduced. We made it
more drastic than we intended because
we wanted to scare the companies into
the field and talk the proposition over
with them. That we succeeded is ap
parent from the representation here to
day." Sab Bill Opposed.
Following this address he introduced
the sub bill exempting prom the pro
visions of the proposed act all com
nanipa "which are now or may on or
before March 1. 1913" be furnishing
power outside tne slate.- topies oi tne
substitute were passed around and con
sidered. There was opposition not onl
from the Northwestern officials, but
also from the representatives of the
Washington Water Power Company.
Other' meetings are to be held within
the next week or two at which an en
dpiTor will be made to get the com
mittee support of a measure with the
time limit extended from March 1, to
May or June'. Such a measure as this
probably would serve tne purposes or
the irrigationists as well as the pro
posed substitute bill fathered by Mr.
V I 4. la Sfllri
Such a, measure it is thought would
have poor luck in the House and ten-
The bills as originally introduced in
the two houses were the same in word
ing, among other provisions were the
following: "It shall be unlawful for
any person or corporation to transport
or carry, through pipes, conduits,
ditches or canals, the waters of any
lake, creek, river or other body of
water or stream or water
state Into any other state, for use
therein; and it shall be unlawful for

or utilize any of the waters aforesaid
within the state, for the purpose of

hydro-electric plant or power works,
for the generating of electric power,
or for the developing or transmitting
of any power, where any of such power
Is transmitted or is to be transmitted
for use In whole or in part in any other

bation in reference to the attack on the
American Minister, now are joining in
their advocacy of the expulsion of the
Spanish editor, Jose Vlllaverde, who,
however, considers himself protected by
the Congressional Immunity of the con
servative representative, Senor Soto, the
nominal editor of Cuba.
The paper announces that it will con
tinue Its attack against the members
of the American Legation. It is re
ported that President Gomez will send
a message to Congress on Monday advo.
eating the modification of the section
of the constitution relative to Immunity
of Congressmen from punishment.
Mr. Baupre has received from the
foreign diplomatic representatives as
surances of their sympathy and offers
of active support later, which, how
ever, he courteously declined.

formation that ice-house fires had been

Another phase of "arson trust" ac
tlvity was developed today, according

evidence that a prominent manufac
turer of specialties had employed the
arson gang to dynamite and fire the
factories of his competitors to such
good effect that he soon virtually had
a monopoly. ,

NAVAL MOVEMENTS
FLUSTER LEGATIONS
Central American Ministers
Hasten to Assure Knox
That All Is Serene.
WARSHIPS STEAM SOUTH
Department Pursues Programme of
Guarding Against Rebel Activity.
Precaution Taken Until
Wilson Takes Office.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. Movements
of United States warships to Central
America, which became fully known
today, put the Central American lega
tions here into a state of flutter, and
sent the Latin-American Ministers hur
rying to assure Secretary Knox that
all was tranquil in their countries.
Before noon practically all the min
isters had communicated with the State
Department to inquire the reason for
the naval demonstration and disclaim
existence of any conditions indicating
trouble.
Department Is TJnpertnrbed.
To all queries the same answer was
returned that the naval movements
were . merely precautionary and in
large part inspired by information of
aativity of revolutionary Juntas in this
country. At any rate, the State De
partment was unaffected by any of the
representations, as was evident by the
fact that, in addition to the four war
ships either under way or about to be
ordered to Central America, the gun
boat Tacoma, at Boston, was also added
to the list, and her commander was In
structed to hold his ship in readiness to
relieve the vessels on the Atlantic
Coast of Central America. -
It was intimated in official quarters
that the purpose of the naval move
ment was to maintain the status quo
in Central America, so far as that can
be done by the restraining influence of
warships, until the Incoming Adminis
tration has had an opportunity to de
fine its policy and decide upon its at
titude toward the Pan-American Re
publics. Uprisings Are Reported,
Authentic reports of threatened up
risings, coincident with the change of
Administration in this country, deter
mined Secretary Knox to guard Ameri
can interests by having a strong naval
fqyce at strategic points. It was point
ed out today that his action does not
In any way commit the incoming Ad
ministration, which, of course, may
withdraw the warships at once if that
course is regarded as desirable.

MARSHALL MEETS BURSAR, OF
PROGRESSIVE PARTY.
Vice-President-elect and Hooker
Run Across Euch Other While
at Chandler, Arizona.
CHANDLER, ' Ariz., Feb. 8. Vice-
President-elect Marshall motored over
from his father-in-law's ranch this aft
ernoon and was surprised to meet Elon
Hooker. National treasurer of the Pro
gressive party. The Roosevelt bursar
and the Democratic sub-chief . faced
each other across a dinner table.
"The Republican party is down and
out," said Hooker.
"Blown up," said Marshall.
"The American people can have any
thing they want," said Hooker.
"Yes. but after election all of them
should accept the selections and stop
grumbling," said Marshall.
Hooker smiled.
"Also," said the Vice-President-elect,
"they ought to abolish pre-election
promises of candidates."
With that the conversation veered
from politics to alfalfa, sugar beets
and the high cost of living.

PRISON CELLS CONDEMNED
Judge Says Chicago Quarters Are
Most Horrible of Any.
CHICAGO, Feb. 8. Police station
..oil. In this citv were described today
by Municipal Judge Dolan, as being
the most norriDie m any ""
country.
The charges were made in a speech
before a lawyers', association. Judge
Dolan demanded a night court for the
immediate disposition of cases.
"I have never been in Russia," he
said, "but I am confident that the hor
rors we read of as existing in prisons
there are surpassed by the conditions
here. Prisoners are brought into court
in the morning covered with vermin
and dirty so they hardly can be
recognized. Many cells are in base
ments. An open sewer is back of some
of them. If a delicately brought up
woman were put in such. a place Dy any
chance, it might be enough to kill her.
I shall demand a change from the pres
ent horrible conditions."
FALL FROM TRAIN FATAL
Rudolph Wachter, Carpenter, Picked
Up Lifeless Near Hood River.
HOOD RIVER, Or, Feb. 8. (Special.)
The lifeless body of Rudolph Wach
ter, who recently resided at 101 North
Front street and at 544 Pettygrove
street. Portland, according to nouse
rent receipts and an accident life insur
ance policy found in his pockets, was
found today beside the track of the
O.-W. R. & N. Company at Mitchell, a
flag station six miles east of here, by
section hands. The dead man wore
good clothes. A short distance away
from the body was found two silver
dollars and a five and ten-cent piece.
His bead was bruised and it is prob
able that he met death from a fall
from a moving train. No hat was found
and the theory of the Coroner is that
he was leaning from a passenger train.
The body of the man was brought to
this city and the authorities are en
deavoring to get in touch with rela
tives. Wachter was a carpenter, employed
in Portland some years bythe Albers
Bros. Milling Company. He left here
about a week ago, accompanied by
Joseph Stangl, to seek work near Hood
River. He had no known relatives here,
being a native of the Tyrol and a sub
ject of Austria, where he served a
term in the army before emigrating.
The address at 101 North Front street
is a saloon where he made headquarters
and where he is well spoken of as a
quiet, industrious young man, about 33
years of age.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. No caucus
pledge will bind the House nemocraio
this year when they vote on an appro
priation for battleship construction.
An "economy caucus," called for to
night by members opposed to the au
thorization of any battleships in the
naval appropriation bill at this ses
sion, failed to materialize, as a result
of the absence of practically all Demo
cratic members who favor an increased
Navy.

112 were needed for a quorum, the

Sherwood, of Ohio.

Speaker Clark and Representative
Underwood were present, although it
is an open secret that both opposed
the calling of the caucus. Only three
members of the naval committee at
tended. Representatives Hensley. of
Missouri and Trlbble, of Georgia, op
posed to battleships, and Talbott, of
Maryland, who made the point of no
quorum and moved adjournment, were
present. .
The absence of a quorum was not

there should be no action.

just what YOU want !
avoid preparations put by up by drug
gists, as they usually use too much
sulphur, which makes the hair sticky.
Get "Wyeth's" which can always be
depended upon to darken beautifully
and Is the best thing known to remove
dandruff, stop soatp itching and falling
hair.
By using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair. It does It so nat
urally and evenly you moisten a
sponge or soft brush, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time, which requires but a
few moments. Do this at night and by
morning the gray hair disappears:
after another application or two its
natural color is restored and It be
comes glossy and lustrous and you
appear years younger. Agents. The
