A recent Portland dispatch says: Before an audlenco that filled the First Congregational church to Its doors, Francis J. Ileney, the govern ment's special prosecutor n tho land fraud cases, picked up tho guantlet thrown by Charles W. Fulton, senior United States senator from Oregon, and gave to tho public for the first time his reason for accusing Seuat or Fulton of unfitness for the high office bo now holds. Mr. Heney spoke on "Graft ver sus Good Citizenship." and attacked enemies of good government general ly, selecting Senator Fulton, as he told his audience, merely as a typo Df tho public official who is recreant to duty and false to his trust. He devoted most of tho time to expos lug alleged short comings of tho Or egon senator, and,- metaphorically speaking, flayed him allvo after strip ping him of his toga. Ovor 1400 persons were prcsont and many were turned away. His charges may bo summarized in brief as follows: That Charles W. Fulton was Sen ator Mitchell's sack holder and dis tributor of funds during tho legisla ture of 1897. That Fulton used his influence as state senator as attorney for tho Astoria & Columbia River railroad and corporations, ns United States senator to provont enforcement of laws that ho was sworn to uphold during tho "hold up" legislature of 1897, and to protect his friends from indictment and prosecution. That In 1899 ho did bis utmost to defeat justlco and prevent tho en forcement of tho law by aiding and abetting tho land frauds ns attorney for tho Hammond lumbor interests. Tliat his connection with shndy land deals continued after that thno, particularly In 1902. That ho agreed with Sonator Mit chell to shield Brownoll from prose cution by tho reappointment of Hall ns United States district attorney. That ho represents tho interests of the rnilroads and big corporations at Washington and not tboso of tho people. FULTON DOESN'T WANT TO TALK Evades Answer to Henry's CliarRo That Ho llnndli'd Sack for Mitchell. A Washington dispatch to tho Or egon Journal snys: When Sonator Fulton was Informed by reporter of tho charges thnt woro niado at Port land by Francis J. Honoy in a pub lic address in which ho charged nmong other things that "Fulton bandied Mitchell's sack in 1S97," ho said: "I don't know what Henoy can moan by saying such things, but I do know that It is damuablo in him to allogo that I over handled auy monoy corruptly, for Mltcholl or nny ono elijs, or that I handled any monoy for Mltcholl. "Further than this I must refuse to say ftsythluB until I am advised more fully as to tns opesitie nature Of navy's RllsiaVloas." TO PUBLIC GAZE His Portland Prisoner Makes Revelation That Places Him in Harry Orchard's Class. (By Associated Press.) PORTLAND, Feb. 4. Jacob Hilt, arrested some days ago on a minor charge, and whose case was dis missed has confessed to the police that while ho was in jail his cell mate Joseph Anderson confessed to him that ho had killed Harry Logan who was shot to death on the Fourth street bridge several months ago, that he had robbed four niilkmen that ho had participated in the mur der of a motorman on a Rose City Park electric car and committed other crimes. He told Hilt about his criminal career preliminary to ask ing Hilt to kill Roy Embry and Peter Maher two witnesses against him in tho Logan murder case. In raturn for Hilt killing Embry and Maher, Anderson, Hilt says, promised to kill detectives Tlchenor and Jones who had worked up tho case against Hilt and that ho would kill any 12 men Hilt might name.

THE BIG STICK 0 BACHELORS PRIEST MAKES HIT WITH ROOSEYELf bli6 gieWinan Savs SaciiSiors Are False to God . in Single Life. Presjflent Approves Sermon Delivered Iu Reno Catholic Church -President Writes Letter to Priest. RENO, Fob. 4. Presidential ap proval of tho sermon delivered In tho Catholic church here Sunday, Janu ary 19, has been received by tho author of tho opinions, Rev. Father) Tubman. A letter from Theodore Roosevelt tells of his indorsement of the priest's remarks, and the as sertions that "celibacy is false to God, false to country and false to self" are essentially upheld. The president applauded the state ment tha trace suicide, affinities and "other outgrowths of modern mar riages and divorces" deserve more than condemnation from the clergy. The priest's utterances created a sensation at the time because he said he desired no unmarried men or wo men to remain in his parish. PRIZE WINNERS IN - GUESSING CONTEST M. D. Poyntz Gets First, Walter But ler Second, and Mrs. G. N. Bolt Third. It has been proven that people read advertisements In the Times. A great many of them read tho con test ads but not one guessed all the names correctly. M. D. Poyntz and Walter Butler were tho headliners, each guessing twenty-two and the pe culiar part of their guess was that each missed the same ads. L. W. Plans fooled them with his little poem George Goodrum is not tho only poet who handles apparel for men but George's poetic reputation fooled tho good guessers. Mrs. G. N. Bolt proved herself an expert by fig uring out twenty one correctly coming within one of tho other two. The first two being tied for first placo they met at the Times office and flipped coins for choice of first and second prizes. Walter Butler proved himself a better guesser of ads than coins for ho guessed heads and It came tail so the first prize was given to M. D. Poyntz. Tho dis tribution of prizes was as follows: M. D. Poyntz first prize, $5.00 in gold. Walter Butler second prize, $3.00. Mrs. G N. Bolt third prize, $1.00. A. B. Campbell "Sacchi" coffee prize, $1.00. The first two wero paid In cash In tho Times office this morning and $1.00 in silver ie at tho Times office waiting for Mrs. G. N. Bolt which sho can havo at any time. A. B. Campbell may get his cash at tho "Sacchi" store. Tho contest was a success in every wny and was satisfactorily conducted by Mrs. Agnew. "BILL" When ho gets his Sunday shave, Hair all slicked an' parted down On his forrld In a wave. Bill's tho sweetest thing In town. Tako him with tho weok day crop, Faco all grimy, hair a mop. Ho looks mighty tough, and still It's Bill. See him in his Sunday rags, Cuffs and collnrs shiny white, I'm not mnkln' any brags; Ho's a darlln' though, all right. Tako him in his week day duds, Overalls that need tho suds Flannol shirt; ho's fierce but still It's Bill. Sundays Bill looks mighty fine, Weekdays, though, ho's not so gay. That's all right, too. Him for mino. Ho's my foller every day, Git below tho dirt an' grime, There's a man there, every tim. Mar not look so sweet, but still lis Bill. TIMES ACTION IS Myrtle Point Enterprise Says it js a Matter of Justice to the Public.- Thd stand t'dkBri by Tho Times lil tho Coos Bay 6ni & Electric Co. proposition continues to attract tho acromion ui me uuimuu nuwuyuyoru. The Myrtlo Point Enterprise In Its last issue has tho following concern ing tho subject: "Tho Coos Bay Times Is giving the lighting company of Marshfleld a few solar plexus blows. Tho company took out Its advertising because It was mildly criticised, giving tho im pression that, because it had adver tising space, It had rights with tho editorial columns that the editor was bound to respect. No firm or corporation should expect to control a newspaper's sentiment ltt tho face of flagrant public nbuses, through patronage. A newspaper may be lenient with an advertiser, and cer tainly will -not alhlse a patron need lessly, but when ,it comes to n mat ter of justice between the advertiser and tho public no coflsclentious news paper man. will permit an advertising proposition to Stand In the way." WILL RAVE AN AT Drain Newspaper Says Work on Railroad Will Commence in April. The Drain Nonparlel, which is at the center of the base of operations publishes the following in its last is sue as the latest news in reference to tho Drain extension: "Work on tho new Coos Bay rail road is to be resumed next April with an army of from 5,000 to 10,000 men- Then watch Drain suddenly develop Into the metropolis of Southern Ore gon." The Times wishes that tho editor of the Nonparlel may prove a good prophet. Coos Bay Is not envious of any rivals and hopes to see all South ern Oregon prosper and take on new lifo when the new road arrives. Coos Bay will take chances with tho oth ers. Keep your eye on Coos Bay, Mr. Editor. J Eastsldo has four miles wharf- lug water front, which means con siderable to the new city.
