STUDENTS
UERA1ANY
TO LEAVE
Of More Than 400 Who Signed Pro
test, Thirty, Several of Them
Women, Are Singled Out for
Expulsion.
Berlin, March 16. Thirty Russian
students, several of them women,
have received yesterday and today
from the police, notices of expulsion
in consequence of participating in a
meeting held Sunday to protest
against the government permitting
Russian police agents to watch Rus
sian residents in Germany. The stu
dents have from three to eight days
in which to leave the country, and
may select the frontier to cross, the
government not compelling them to
return to Russia, as in some former
instances.
The origin of the dispute between
the government and the students,
about 500 of whom are attending the
university and technical schools, was
I in the socialist accusation that the
! government was permitting Russian
spies to seareii the rooms, examine
the correspondence and otherwise in
terfere with the liberty of Russians
living in Germany. Foreign Secre
retary von Richthofen, in defending
the government January 19, said the
Russians here were anarchists, and
that many of the women attending
the university or other schools were
really not students, but lived in a
state of immorality.
A few days later from 40 to 50
Russians passed a resolution protest
ing against these imputations.
Chancellor von uuiow, answering
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, on
the same subject February 29, con
temptuously alluded to the protes
tants as "beggars and conspirators
under the leadership of ilandelstamns
and Silberbaums."
If these fellows do not keep
quiet, said the Chancellor, "we will
throw them out."
About 400 Russian students met on
Saturday and signed a statement
reciting the utterances of Secretary
von Richthofen and Chancellor von
Bulow. Referring to the Chancel-
; tor's assertion that they were abusing
'the hospitality of Germany, the Rus
sians said that even guests had the
natural right of resenting insults
flung at them by their hosts.
Besides this," the statement con
tinued, "he undertook, by referring
to the Jewish origin of part of the
Russians here, to arouse anti-Semitic
prejudices against us. Count von
Bulow, the highest official of the
German empire, has not scrupled, un
der the protection of his privileged
position to call us beggars. The fact
that most of the Russians living here
are of Jewesh origin is due, as Count
von Bulow well knows, to the special
opposition to which the Jews are ex
posed in Russia, which excludes them
from the higher educational institu
tions of their native country. We
regard that the 20th century in the
and of Lessing and Fichte witnesses
such disregard for the great idea of
humanity a3 evidenced by these anti-
semitic sallies of the German Chan
cellor."
From 428 persons who signed the
statement, 30 are selected for expul-
sion.
WILL REPORT FAIR BILL.
House Committee to Decide Amount
of Appropriation Today.
Washington, March 16 Repre
sentative Tawney, of Minnesota",
chairman of the House committee on
expositions stated today that a meet
ing of the full committee will be held
tomorrow morning at 10:30 to con
sider the Lewis and Clark Centeqnjal
bill. He announced further that this
would probably begthe final meeting
of the committee on this subject, and
that the bill which has been under
consideration for some time would be
reported at this meeting, Of course,
it cannot yet be known , what appro?
priation it will carry, but it is believed
by members of the committee who
have talked with the Oregon people
about it that the appropriation will
be a generous one, though not equal
to the amount appropriated by the'
Senate.
EXPECT A REVELATION.
Feeling of Intense Expectancy Among
Membes of Congress.
Washington, March 16 The spe
cial committee of the House on the
Postoffice report haa, it is understood
received the report known as "exhib
it Q." This document has never been
made public and the feeling created
among members by the thorough
manner in which the special commit
tee is dealing with the task 'assigned
it is growing somewhat intense.
Revelations of new "deals" are hinted
at in the cloakrooms. In the mean-

while the special committee is carry
ing on its work behind closed doors.
An all-day session was held today.
Colorado Union Labor Fucds.
Telluride, Col., March 15. After
months of more or les3 stormy scenes
this city was last night given a fur
ther surprise in the ejectment from
the camp of entire families of union
miners and their sympathizers. One
hundred members of the Citizens' Al-
iliance, which includes many well-
known business men, set an example
in lawlessness, by marching fully
armed to the homes of their oppo
nents, or those whom they regarded
with disfavor. J
The raid took place shortly after
midnight and was directed principal'
ly against those miners and sympa
thizers who were on a previous occa
sion ordered from the city. Whole
families were compelled to fall.into
line of march and were driven to the
railway station, where they were
guarded by pickets until a train for
deportation was due.
In several cases a determined re
sistance was made by miners or
friends, who refused to surrender,
or summon their famile3 for an ex
odus. In two cases the resistance
became so effective that pitched bat
tles followed, in which several men
were severely beaten, one being ren
dered unconscious. The mob, toward
the close of the roundup, became
more lenient toward the families of
the evicted, but warned them that
they would be expected to leave the
city immediately.
When the train on which the de
ported miners were placed arrived,
at 2 o'clock this morning, the men
were warned that they must not
again return to Teilurride under pain
of immediate death. Several of the
miners who were thus compelled to
leave declared they would return at
a later time and in -sufficient num
bers to prevent a recurrence of what
they style "wholesale whitecapping."
It is not believed, however, that
serious trouble will result.
Senator Mitchell for Primary Law.
United States Senator John II. Mitch
ell has placed hitugelf on record in favor
of a direct primary election law. Attor
ney W. S. U'Ren ol Oregon City, one of
the drafters of the proposed measure,
today received the following from Sena
tor Mitchell in answer to an inquiry as
to the senator's position:
"Washington, D. C, March 14. Hon.
W. S. U'Ren, Attorney, Oren City I
think it hardly necessary to state I am
earnestly in favor of direct primary
election law and you and all others can
put me down as a friend and supporter
of Euch a measure. And so far as I can
see the bill copy sent me meots the case.
JOHN II. MITCHELL.
"There has been much talk," said Mr.
U'Ren to the effect that Senator Mitch
ell was not .behind the direct
primary more and that occasioned me
to write him. Wo shall endeavor to
place on record the county convention
of the several states as to their stand on
the direct primarjquestion.
A Remedy Offered.
Republicans in every part of the state
are lamenting and condemning the fac
tional fight now waging within the party
in Multnomah county. The contest is
denounced as being unnecessary, harm
ful to the party, and not promising of
improvement in public service. Fre
quently the desire ia expressed in repub
lican papers of outside counties that
6ome way be found to punish the repub
licans of Multnomah for their 'persist
ence in continuing a factional fight
which-is declared to have no purpose
other than to subserve ersonal ambi
tion. Leaders in the party outside of
Multnomah are seeking gome means of
combining so aa to show their displeas
ure in an effective nanner.
If it is admitted that the convict in
this county has its origin in the desire
of rival politicians to secure control of
the party machinery in order to retain
or acquire political power, or to insuro
election to office, it seema as if a remedy
might ue fouud in the enactment of the
direct primary nomination law now
pending before the people and awaiting
their action at the olection in Juno. The
outlook eeems very good for the ap
proval of that measure by thp pcopjo,
and if such should bo tho rcp-H factional
lines in every county will be irreparably
broken. By the adoption of the direct
primary plan of choosing candidates tho
people will tak.e away from political
boegea tho power to control tho distribu
tion of offices, and the end for which tho
political bosa works will bo gone. Oro

MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED
Prominent Silver Lake Merchant
Seen Since Friday Morning:.
Not
J. C. Conn, a prominent merchant
and business man of this place, myster
rousiy maappeared last Friday morn
ing between 7 and 8 o'clock, and up to
this time nothing hag been heard or
seen of the miseing man. Searching
parties composed of overv ablo bodied
man in the valley were orcanized. horse
men scoured the entire country to the
snow line and a thoroueh search was
made in which Silver cro?k was drodued
lor over a milo, but in vain.
Some think it was suicide while oth
era talk of foul play. Generally speak
mg the entire community is thunder
struck and a black cloud hangs over the
mysterious evont. The people of Silver
L.8,ico and surrounding country will not
give up until something is brought to
liiflit of tho lost one.
No one had noticed anything strange
in Mr. Conn's manner as ho ecemed to
bo in his right mind up to the time he
disappeared. Mr. Conn in company
with Prof. K. B. Jackson and one or
two others ate breakfast at the Silver
Lake Hotel about 7 O'clock. Mr. Conn
and the Prof. left tho hotel together,
Mr. 'Jackson went to the school house
while Mr. Conn made his way direct to
his place of business. Frank Payne,
who is clerking for Mr. Conn was sweep
ing, when Conn walked in and asked
the clerk if he had been to breakfast,
Frank informed him that he had, he
then asked If the Primeville mail had
arrived being told that it had he turned
and walked out.
T. J. Roberts who is clerking for F.
M. Chrisnkn, was in tho postoffice at
this time and says he is confident that
Mr. Conn called for his mail. Ho was
seen a short time after he left tho post
office by Mrs. R. H. Mosby and her two
small boys as he was walking up the
Primeville road about one-half mile
west of town. Mrs. Mosbv sava after
ho passed the house a short distance he
stopped and looked back toward town
then went on up the road, this was the
last time he was ever seen. A very
short time after he had vanished from
Mrs Mosby's sight. R. F. Ward who
reiides about three-quarters of a mile
wet of town heard a pistol shot some
where near the Silver Lake bridre.
- ,
thinking it was some of the boys that
were hunting, he thought nothing
strange end cave it no further attention
until Saturday noon, when Mr. Payne
began to gre w uneasy as to tho where
abouts of hi" employer as he had left
eaaly Friday morning without leaving
any word with him and had gone with
out his overcoat or overshoe. After
investigating it was found that he had
not occupied his room or had not been
eoen by any one since Friday. Mr Payne
suspecting something was wrong went
to tho drawer where Mr. Conn kept two
revolvers. He discovered that one was
gone and the one missing had not been
in use for a year or more. Pavne im
mediately informed the citizens of the
full details of the strange affair, and a
searching party was orcanized at once
composing of at least 50 men. Mrs.
Mosbyand K. b. Ward were interview
ed, in which it was found that tho lady
bad seen Mr. Conn pass up the road J
about S:l5 o'clock. A short time after!
Mr. Ward hearinc tho report of a shot
near the Silver creek bridee and UDon
inquiry in the matter it was found that I
no one In the valley had fired a'ehot of ;
any kind in that vicinity at any time
during that day. This is strong evidence
of either suicide or foul play, which
icaua me citizens oi me vauey to be
lieve that the body of the missine man
lies in tho bottom of Silver creek and
the distance will not exceed one mile
from this place.
On account of hich water it ia impos
sible to make any further search in the
creek at present, but iust as soon n th
creek falls it will be dredged thoroughly
lor the body and no doubt it will brim?
about some development in the case
o
John C. Conn was born in
Douglas
county, Oregon in 1SC0, being 44 years
of age. Ho came to Lake county in
1886 and clerked for hU brother Vinril
o
in a general merchandise at Paisley un
til 1S92 when he came to Silver Lako
and started in the merchantile business,
of which he conducted until late Friday
morning. Mr. Conn was recognized as
one of tho leading merchants of Lake
county and was always found upright
and honest in all his dealings,
Ho was a man that was verv conser
vative, although ho had many warm
friends. Ho took very little interest in
nythin outside his own business.

gonian. THE UNTHINKABLE HEARST.
A serious Appeal to the Democrats of
the Country.
Tho Evening Post has been reluctant
to speak of tho Presidential candidacy
of W. R. Hearst. Wo havo felt it to be
one of those things that ''now! much
washing to bo touched j" and had hoped
that its grotcsqne and humiliation aa
pects would put him out of considera
tion by all but tho bought and rotten.
But it is ovidont that his unblushing
campaign based, as a Democratic Sen
ator has said, purely upon "chock and a
check book" is making a headway,
Hearst stands today, in fact, as the
greatest temptation to tho domocratio
party to play tho fool and break its neck
acain.' Almoiit any other candidate
prominently mentioned would havo
chance ol election and could preserve
honor even in defeat : but Hearst is
enough to sink any cause and damn any
ptrty.
The possibility of his securing tho
iiuminauon wmcii decent men can
contemplate only with a shudder de
pends wholly upon ignorance of tho man
and his methods. Hence the duty of a
public warning betimes. It is not sim
ply that we revolt at Hearst's huiro vnl
ganty ; at his front of bronze: at his
shrieking unfitness mentally for the of
fico which ho sets out to buv. All this
goes without saying. There never haa
been a case of a man of such slender in
tellectual equipment, absolutely with
out exptirienca in office, impudently
flaunting his wealth before the eyea of
the people and saying, "Make mo Presi
dent. This ia folly. This is to degrade
public life. But there is soinetbine
darker and more fearful behind. It is
well known that this man has a record
which ronld make it impossible for him
to live through a Presidential campaign
luch gutters would be draeeod. such
sewers laid opei ! "c cm c ly refer
to tho loathsor ; - j . . l.s. those
who want a hint ol the repulsive details
turn to the Congressional Record of Jan
uary 8, ISO". They ill find a speech
by Kepresentative Johnson, of California
snowing tho kind of millstone which
would be hung about Hearst's neck if
he were eYer to come before the voters
We consider it the duty of honest
newspapers to iet these facts be known.
It is more than a partv matter. Demo
crats, it la true, have a special motive
for wishing to prevent their partv from
being disgraced ; but there h a large
question of patriotism Involved , as to
which Republicans also should show
that they are sensitive. Thev cannot
wish to see the opposition debauched.
The example would be too generally de
nizing. Aext would come tho turn
of the Republican party. If the Hearst
millions can purchase the Democratic
nomination today, who knows that
some financial Cataline will net instruct
his brokers to buy the Republican nom
ination, four years hence? The country
cannot afford to have its inn-mis of
honor trailed in the mud of the market
place. That would be a calamity to all
both it citizens of any party. We have
not vet reached the point where we can
bo indifferent to the spectacle of an as
pirant for our highest office being an
Aicibiades without talent or courage or
porfonal charm, and with 1mt little
profligacy to entitle bits to the name.
