Says That De Young Doesn't Control
, Editorial Policies of Chronicle.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4-M. H.
De Young of San Francisco did not
appear in Judge Cabincss' court to
day when the case against hint for
criminal libel brought by Detective
Burns was called. He was repre
sented by attorneys, John P. Young
who testified that he is the editor of
the Chronicle and responsible for it
utterances. He testified that De Young
doesn't control the editorial policy of
the Chronicle and is not consulted
with regard to the particular article
objected to in the complaint and that
he was out of the city on the date of
its publication, and didn't know of it
until it appeared in print. Secretary
Chesley of the Chronicle Publishing
Company was asked to produce the
corporation's books in order to deter
mine who owns the majority of the
stock. De Young's attorneys object
ed to the displaying of the contents
of books. The court adjurned until
Monday when the attorneys will
argue admission of the books.
to a desire not to encourage tariff re
visionists.
"All that will be done," said Mr.
Payne yesterday, "is that the execu
tive departments, notably the Treas
ury Department, will be asked to col
lect certain data in regard to the tariff
schedules and have the information
ready in time for the next regular
session of Congress". The Admin
istration programme now, it is assert
ed, is for the nomination and election
of Taft, after which a special session
of the 61st Congress will he called
to take up the subject of taritf re
vision. In the event that a Demo
crat is elected next Fall, President
Roosevelt will call Congress together
for taritf revision next November.

STANLEY KETCHELL WINS.
Given Decision Over Billy Papke
After Furious Contest.
MILWAUKEE, June 4.-Stanley
Ketchell of Grand Rapids was given
the decision over Billy Papke of Ke
wanna, Ills., at the end of a fast and
furious ten-round bout tonight. The!
contest was a terrific affair from the
tapof the gong to the finish with the
exception of the time during which
the men were engaged in clinches.
Time and time again Ketchell forc
ed his man to the ropes and his fur
ious onslaughts, and without giving
him a moment's rest. Ketchell ap
pealed to the referee to break the
clinches repeatedly. Only in the
eighth round did Ketchell have an
even break. At the end of the last
round Papke was plainly in distress
and would probably not have lasted
another round. The biggest crowd in
the history of boxing in Milwaukee
witnessed the contest. Among the
notables were Jimmy Coffroth, Abe
Attell, Joe Gans, Pack McFarland
and Frank Gotch.

INFERNAL MACHINE.
At Theatre Door, May Have Been In
tended to Blow up Audience.
GLENDALE, Or., June 4-Thc
most fiendish attempt at wholesale
murder in the history of the state
was discovered yesterday in this
city. Who-the guilty person could
have been it is hard to say now,
but had the investigation been con
ducted sooner some clew might have
been discovered.
H. G. Sonnemann, owner of the
Auditorium, while working around
the building, saw a gunnysack con
taining what he supposed was an oil
can, near the walk leading to the
entrance, and remembered that the
morning after the home-talent play,
"The Blue and the Gray," given here
on March 7, that he had picked tip
the same package in the vestibule of
the auditorium and placed it out near
the walk, thinking it was an oil can
forgotten by some of the audience the
night before. It remained there and
when he saw it again yesterday he
would see what it was. On opening
the sack he found a tin can, one of the
cases that maches come in, with a
screw top which had rusted so tight
that a can opener had to be used to
get it open. On opening it he found
it a veritable infernal machine, for it
contained 20 sticks of dynamite with
a long fuse nicely placed and cap in I
position. The fuse had burned to j Tried to Sue Superintendent of State
within six inches of the cap and then
the closely sealed can had caused it
to die out of its own accord.
The night of this play practically
every man, woman and child in the
city was packed in the building, and'
large numbers of people from Wolf
Creek, Fernvale, Grants Pass and
other neighboring cities were ' also
present. It was one of the largest
crowds ever congregated under one
roof in the city. The attempt at
wholesale slaughter could not have
been timed, for had the explosion oc
curred it would have killed every
person present. The can was at the
front entrance to the building and
placed in such a way that that entire
end of the building would have cer
tainly been blown down, letting the
walls and roof collapse on the people
in the audience.
morning. To increase the importance
of this incident to the parade, the
local Japanese asked that they be al
low to defray the entire expenses for
thee 'floats. The escort for the
"Cherry Blossom" procession waved
wands of cherry tree branches, also in
full bloom, and millions of the deli- j
cutely tinted pink petals were strewn j
on the crowd.
The cadets of the Oregon Agricul-,1
ttiral College, at Corvallis, curried !
the monster crowd off its feet by '
their perfection of drills and bewilder-1
ing movements. They were like a i
unit and were given ovations as long I
as in sight. Queen libra's float which '
immediately followed the squad of
mnumru ponce m tne lead, was tne
signal for the first outburst of en
thusiasm. I lie Queen of flowers
vaulting over her, surmounding which
was a golden crown. In her hand
Queen Flora carried her scepter, by
wave of which she acknowledged the
plaudits of the thousands of faithful
subjects gathered to do her homage
The body of the float was tilled with
great masses of roses which has been
furnished by the Rose Society, and
these the maidsof-hoiior and flower
girl attendants showered over the just
and unjust alike.
The officers of the Rose Festival
came next in a rose decorated car
riagepreceded by an escort of the
Portland Hunt Club: following them
came Grand Marshal F. O. Downing
and his staff, with De Caprio's band.
The Portland Hunt Club in the
next division made the finest showing
in its history, both as to the number
of entries, their fine mounts, the neat
ind artistic scheme of decoration, to
say nothing of their new boots and
addles and costumes. The full mem
bership of more than 2X) were in line
md rode four abreast, The boys and
girls of the Junior Hunt Club were
ilso out en masse, and brought up
the rear of the saddle horse section
with a score or more of decorated!
ponies as the rear guard. The danc
ing Shetland pony simply threw th
multitude into spasms of delight, for
the little animal kept perfect time to
the bands, and when the bands were
not playing the cunning little beast
hanged his step, once a cakewalk
now a waltz and again a two-step.

CONVICT'S CASE LOST.
Prison For Working Overtime.
NEW YORK, June 4. Justice
Mills of the Supreme Court at White
Plains, today dismissed the action
of John N. Rohrs, a convict at Sing
Sing, who sued C. V, Collins, super
intendent of State Prisons, ex-Warden
Addison C Johnson and other
officials for $10,000 for working him
more than eight hours at the prison,
which he contended is in violation
of the State law.
This suit has attracted wide atten
tion among officials, as its success
would have involved an entire change
in discipline at all penal institutions,
It is said that Rohrs was backed indi

Iressed. The doctors found that the
bullet had entered his wrist.
In the meantime a cordon had been
formed arwund the assailant, who, lin
er the direction of M, Lepine, was
conducted to a side entrance of the
Pantheon.
All this time the vast multitude
packing the sidewalk and crowding
the windows on the streets converg
ing on the Pantheon had no suspic
ion of the excitement that raged
wnnin tne temple. Jiic appearance
of President Fallieres at the portico
had been greeted with a great cheer,
which drowned the cries of "Down
with Dreyfus" ami "Long live the
army," which came from a band of
about 500 men belonging to an asso
ciation known as I.n Jetinessc Catho
liquc who had stationed themselves
on a corner opposite, Soon after this
cheering, regiment after
came swinging by to the blare of
trumpets and the sound of martial
music.
After having his wound dressed,
Major Dreyfus was taken to his
home, where he was joined by his
wife, who was with him when he was
shot.
News spread like wildfire through
Paris and caused a veritable panic, as
it as also believed that President
Fallieres had been killed. The crowds
around the Pantheon were driven
back and all the streets leading to the
temple were harried. Twenty ar
rests have been made.
