(Continued from Page One.) r convention at Eugene last April, The Journal prophesied what would follow If Dinger Hermann were elected to con gress, on the heels of his dismissal from the .commieslonershlp. It stated that Secretary Hitchcock waa cloae to Presi dent Roosevelt; that to send Hermann to eongreaa would be to affront the Roosevelt administration; that Secretary Hitchcock's land policy was acceptable to the president; that the dominant fac tloh of the Oregon Republican party would become Involved In a quarrel with the administration If It stood behind Mr. Hermann. Tho event Justifies The Journal pre diction. Secretary Hitchcock 'retains the president's confidence. Mr. Her mann's relations with the other mem bers of the delegation Intensify the ad ministration's hostility to the delegation. The administration's Argument. "Alien Mr. Hitchcock was asked to ac cept the Interior department portfolio, be stated plainly to the president his Ideas with reference to the administer- Ing of the land department, which were: That there had been looseness In the handling of the business of the general land office and the local land offices; that the forest reserve policy was sound. The secretary was assured that his policy ;-. would be supported by the chief exeeu . - tlve,;and Mr. Hitchcock proceeded to In . stltute an extensive system of Investi " gttlon. Ho also began to amplify the " forest reserves. Neither did he attempt ' . to cover up his Intentions to stop the ".operations of heavy purchasers of pub i lis lands. , An attack on Hitchcock waa begun In states and territories oast and south i oast of Oregon based upon what his op- I ponents declared to be his Incompetency '. and unfairness. The fight became so warm that the . issue was passed squarely up to Presl .:. dent Roosevelt, and he was called upon to decide directly whether or not he en dorsed Mr. Hitchcock or the protestors. president's action, yet to submit tame ly to. the affront put upon them Is to gravely Imperil their prestige with the rank and file of the party, and that, too, on the very verge of a bitter struggle for- political control In Multnomah county. Mitchell Sara Be Didn't Know. Senstor Mitchell was Informed this morning by The Journal of the true na ture of the charge against Knowles. and was asked whether It had been known to him. He replied emphatically In the negative. TAlthough Senator Fulton and my self," he said, "requested the secretary of the Interior In writing either to fur nish us a copy of sny charge, filed with him against Mr. Knowles, or inform u: of the character of the same, the score tary never made any answer to this re quest and has never either furnished u. with the copies of the charges, nor has ( he advised hi hh tn their nature, and to thla day' I hare not had the slightest knowledge on the subject.

EDS FINES (Journal Special Service.) Chicago, Aug. II. The police of this cltv believe that the robbery which oc curred yesterday morning was one of the most desperste that haa been pulled off in Chicago for many a month. Two men appeared at the Chicago City Railway Company offices early yesterday at a time when all the com pany's employes were busily engaged In other parts of the building in settling up their days' receipts; went directly to the wicket of the cashier nnd without saying a word began to shoot. The as slstsnt cashier who wss standing di rectly In the range of the window, waa the first one to fall, the bullet striking him In the head. Two men named Ste wart and Dlehl started to go to the as sistance of the cashier and were laid low by two wi41-dlrected bullets. A TOBTT-TWO frOMBB AXBBSTB9 BUT AXX OF ' TXXK BAYS OBB FOB?

A prominent member of this faction snd a close per sonal friend of Senator Simon, in dis cussing fha comments of Judge Carey published Saturday In The Journal, said this morning: Dalles, and the people all along the line will receive the full benefit of the re duced rates. On the other hand the Bailey Oatsert will only stop at Lyle, and those living at Intermediate points will not derive any benefit from the "Judge Carey and the Mitchell people low rate of the opposition. President Roosevelt endorsed Secre ' i, tary Hitchcock, retained him in his ' cabinet and backed eVery salient feature ii Of the ensuing execution of the policy which had been determined upon by the aecretsry. -. The Hermann Incident was only one of many. It was Illustrative of what i :. x president Roosevelt thought of that member of his official family who ha to do with land matters. He acted full knowledge of tho claims upon each pWc. ' Administration Xiikely to Stand Fat. ' In view of these facts. It may be de- ' duced that the administration will not recede from Its position a to Knowles. r ' It Is a Question of policy with President 1 Roosevelt and Secretary Hitchcock, and ", not a question merely of a particular ' appointment. ': Regardless of the merits or demerits , of either party to the controversy, ltfls rational to conclude that the Oregon. " delegation has run against an obstacle i.tbat cannot be removed, even if the . senators and representatives from Ore " gon, Washington and Idaho unite in an effort to compel President Roosevelt to "" come to terms. Mitchell'. Unpleasant Position. . Senator Mitchell and his adherents ', could scarcely be confronted with a situation more embarrassing than the '" one createdf-)y President Roosevelt's -' unqualified snub to the Oregon df-loga-tion. Ever . since it became apparent that the Simon faction would make an other determined effort to recover con . rpl of the party machine in this state. the Mitchell Republicans have been dlll ' -'gently (driving to create the impression ": that they, and the"y alone, were In ac ' oord with the national administration, ' and that their own defeat would b. '.iii; equivalent to a refusal to Indorse Prjsl- dent Roosevelt for renomlnation. They " declared themeelves the i only real ' ' Roosevelt Republicans in the state of v Oregon, and denounced opposition to 1 . them asHsloyBKjr to the president. - Senator Mitchell andhe president were .

A "Roosevelt . Republicans" ' ( they dare . sot ; openly denounce tat are tsylng to befog the issue in the coming primary election. It Is not a question of Roosevelt and antl-Roose-velt, and the element which Judge Carey deslgnstes as the Simon Repub licans is not in opposition to the presi dent As far as Senator Simon is con cerned, no one has heard him say wheth er he favors or opposes the renomlna tion of Roosevelt. He has a right to do as he sees fit in that matter. So far as his friends are concerned, they all seem to be earnest supporters of the president, and so one has heard Sen tor Simon advise opposition to him. It Is very evident that Judge Carey Is seeking to divert the' public from the obloquy csst upon his party associates by Jack Matthews and by the general disrepute of the Mitchell faction, and that he Is trying to do this by asserting that the issue in the next primaries will be Roosevelt and antl-Roosevelt. A sin gle suggestion will show how absurd this is. The Republican primaries will be, not for the election of a president, but for the election of delegates who ill nominate a county ticket, and s far as Carey and Mitchell are concerned the result will be the nomination of flv candidates to the state senate who will hold over and participate In the elec tion of Senator Mitchell's successor. The primary election will be In June. The presidential election will be in No vember. "Even if by any chance Multnomah county, which seems to be the chief topic of Judge Carey's fears, should gc Democratic, or should Indicate a pref erence for some presidential candidate other than Roosevelt (a thing which seems Impossible), this would not mean utter rout for Roosevelt. He will suc ceed himself even if Judge Carey'i worst fears are realised. "No one among the Republicans of this county Is opposing Roosevelt. Whatever Senator Simon's personal at titude may be. he has never aiikpri hla tiends to take up his differences with 4he president." v . IMPORTANT LABOR MEETING TONIGHT 'The Regulator people have broken f.tth with me. They asked me to maintain the old rates when my new steamer was put In commission, and at the same time they were preparing to make reductions. They even had the nerve to send me written notice not to land at Vancouver. Collin's Landing, Hood River and Lyle. or they would prosecute me to the full extent of the law. They claimed that those landings' belonged exclusively to them. At three of the points mentioned there are county roads, and boat landing have been made there for the past 60 years. How they gained an exclusive right to them is a mystery. However, my boat Is landing at those points Just the same, and Intends to do so regardless of all written communications to tho con trary." Starts Tomorrow. The fight proper on the river will begin tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock when both steamers will sail for The Dallea, paralleling each other. The Bailey Gatsert's time card has been made up In precisely the same manner as that of the Spencer. They will re turn side by side, on Wednesday, if one (ihould not outdistance the other, and eave again on the return trip Thursday morning at the aame hour. 99 CASES HEARD; NEW POLICE RECORD JOHN fl.

Frank Baker, a member of the Curry gang, which it Is said planned to hold up the west bound flyer at Malta yesterday, was captured .while on his way to the scene by Stock Inspector George W. Hall. Other members of the gang would have been taken Into custody by the Inspector had not they been frightened off by the large force of l'inkerton men. The railway company had Information which made It very positive -that the holdup was to occur yesterday, and had not the plans of the gang been discov ered and a dosen detectives armed with rifles smuggled on board the train, It is probable they would have been suc cessful. At a point a little beyond Wagner, the holdup was attempted, but the ap pearance of the detectives put an end to their plans. Wsrgner was the scene of the famous holdup of two years ago, and is a desolate soot. The outlaw who was captured did not see his pals leave the train upon which they came to the scene of the Intended holdup, and was consequently captured.

The steamer was In dally communication with the shore by wireless telegraph from the time she left the English channel until she reached Sa2dy Hook. - . -a . SLOT MACHINE was CAUSE OF BAD FALL Toon Wife Talks. "I cannot believe my husband guilty of robbing people," she said, "and I surely know that If -he did it waa with out my knowledge. On the night we were out riding, Mr. Haynle left me alpne In the buggy for a few minutes while he looked for the road. I had been driving and came near running over an embankment. The streets Were steep and in a bad condition ' and I grew frightened. My husband waa gone from me but a few minutes and when he re turned his manner did not Indicate what one would expect of a highwayman Just fter committing two bold robberies. He hadn't been running and after he got Into the buggy we drove right past the: nl..a wh.M f Vt ji r V. Vo r t u sr. mmA t ft sve occurred." Mrs. Haynle said that she waa sure her husband had no firearm with him that evening, for hi. revolver was locked In her trunk at the time. "His slung shot," she said, "waa found another room from the one we oc cupted." That the Seattle police did not believe her guilty, Mrs. Hsynle said was demon strated from the fact that she was not even searched after being placed In Jail and the matron did not visit her. "It was a terrible place." said the young woman with a shudder as she re membered her three day. behind the bars, "and I was glad to get out. When I went down to the Jail after, my hus. band's arrest I thought it' was to give evidence and did not dream that I waa going to be locked up. "My husband dearly loves me and everything he has said to Incriminate himself has been to aid In dispelling any cloud that may have been over me. He needs some one to counsel him and hja present condition is nearly driving hlra frantic. Bad to Fawn B.r Chain. Because Harold W.

That they were out of money in Seat tle the young wife readily admitted. "I had a nugget chain," she said "thai I pawned for $14. My husband did not display any more money after the supposed holdup than he had before and I think I know Just about how much he bad. "The story that I was found crouching In a corner when the officers came to ar rest me Is utterly false, and the state ment that I had a dagger concealed In my dress Is absurd." To disprove the statements of the local police that suspicious persons have been known to be at the home of the Haynlea ana waltons. Mrs. Walton said: My son-in-law was so Jealous of my daughter that he would hardly allow the milkman around. I can prove that Har old was In my house when the holdups occurrea here in Portland. One evening Dr. Lawrence, my daughter, Harold and myself were playing cards when my son Charley came In and told of the robbing of, I think It was, the Vancouver car. "It Is absurd to think that Grace mas queraded in boy's clothing. I will not say that my son-in-law Is not guilty for I do not know, but from what I know of him and his nature I hardly believe him one that would hold up people at the point of a revolver." After returning home Saturday even ing Mrs. Haynle and her mother went almost direct to thelrApartments. Sun day evening they were on the streetcar for the first time since their return and in company with Dr. Frank Lawrence and Charles Walton, visited Shields' park. Wife Seeking Aid. Mrs. Haynle was asked this morning if she would return to Seattle and replied: "I can hardly do that now. I will go" to Forest Grove this afternoon to visit my husband's parents and do what I can to secure legal aid for him. I fear he will have to remain In Jail two months before his trial comes up." On her way to Seattle Mrs. Walton de- Clares Capt.

If not all, during which this car nival Is to be held. I therefore appeal to you, that you will, if consistent with the public ser vice, extend to these vessels and their commanders the privilege of remaining at this port for a portion If not: all, of the time covered by the carnival. ' Should yvu see your way clear to do so you will have the profound thanks, ( iti'i uiuy ui ino oinc?ra ana memoera oc the club referred to, but of the people of this city generally. Kindly let me know what you can do for us, and thanking you for what you have already done, I am. Yours very sincerely, , JOHN H. MITCHELL.

This letter is the latest step In a vigorous effort made by United States Senators Mitchell and Fulton and Gov. Chamberlain on behalf of Portland to have the warships. Concord and Marble head. remain at this port to participate In the big fall carnival of the Mer chants' and Manufacturers' Association, which will be given under the auspices of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, commencing September 14 and ending September 29. Senator Mitchell' former request to Admiral Glass re sulted favorably, the extension of time, however, not being sufficient to allow the ships to take part in the ceremonle. Senator Fulton Is also lending his aid in the matter, and sayi that ho thinks the department's answer will 'bt satisfactory to Portland. Gov. Cham berlain has written a personal letter to President Roosevelt. and an official re quest to the secretary of the navy, ask ing that the ships be kept here for thj' carnival. With these forces at work. 1- seems quite likely that the city's re quest will be granted. A day of Accidents.
