WILL BUCK1 THE
BOOKING TRUST
; (Journal Special Service.)
San Francisco, Fen. 13. Theatrical
managers on the Pacific coast have
formed an independent association. They
meet today in the California hotel to
perfect plans. Prominent among them
is J. P. Howe,, formerly of Portland,
now of Seattle, and Oliver Morosco of
LoS Angeles.
Mr. Howe said today: "The theatres
have been controlled by a syndicate that
has double power over' the manager of
the theatre and of the company. The
trust has become so powerful that man
agers have the utmost difficulty in pro
curing attractions through them. The
revenues of the syndicate have been im
mense. The new combination controls
most of the theatres of Oregon, Wash
ington and a number in' California.
"Its purpose is to secure its own book
ing and thus buck the trust."
"Mr. HeUlg is out of the city and we
may have more light on the formation
of this Independent company when he
returns,"'- said W.- T. Pangle, -resident
manager of the Marquam Grand theatre.
"I would rather not say anything until
we are advised on the situation; We
did not expeot the formation -of the as
sociation, but I 'am unable to aee that
It will affect, the local situation, as
Klaw A-iEMahger will still have control

A WALTON HUNTER
FROZEN TO DEATH
. . . (Journal 8pedit Service.)
- Eugene, Or., Feb. 18,-f-Word was re
ceived here last night that . William
Atkinson, aged 20, son of J. L. Atkin
son, postmaster at Walton, in the Coast
mountains, JO -miles miles west of Eu
gen became lost and had perished in
the snow. - . '. - . .
Tuesday morning he went hunting
with a dog out sin the mountains. It
snowed considerable and the wind was
crisp and cold. The young huntsman, It
Is presumed, continued on his way until
heeacfhed a point five miles west of
his borne. When night came on and he
tlld not return no alarm was felt, as
jie was a thorough mountaineer, and it
was thought he carried plenty of
matches to build a fire to keep from
freezing. But when on Wednesday
afternoon hla dog eame borne without
his master it was feared some harm had
befallen him. - ,:
A searching party was at once organ
ised by the neighbors, who arrived with
lanterns and began to hunt every , foot
of the dense timber In that vicinity.
About noon Thursday the body waa
found. It was lying face downward be
side a log, his' gun some distance away.
Evidently he had lost his 'bearings and
after wandering around delirious, from
cold' and hunger he fell from" the log
on which he probably stood looking for
the trail.
AFTER AMERICAN , -LUMBER
DEALERS
Vancouver. B. C., Feb. , IS. The
wholesale and retail lumbermen of the
west have met at Winnipeg, Manitoba,
to devise means to keep out American
lumber from the Canadian Northwest.
The meeting told the 'Canadian Pacific,
which carries all the lumber of western
Canada, that the members' would reduce

r Unquestionably, the feature of the
banquet given last evening by the Young
Men's Republican club was the eloquent
response made by P. sons uonen to the
toast ."Theodore Roosevelt," and the tu
multuous ' applause which j burst : forth
again and again while the address was
being delivered, and which rose to a
pandemonium of yells and cheers at its
conclusion,, seemed to be none the less
enthusiastic because three-fourths of
those present were Simon Republicans.
For the Mitchell Republicans were con
spicuous by their absence. Judge Carey,
Frank Baker, Isaac Patterson and all the
other members of the managing commit
tee had found that they had other and
more .pressing engagements which made
their presence impossible. When their
followers learned that the leaders would
not attend, all -with one accord began' .to
make excuse, with the result that when
the banqueters assembled the Mitchell
men were an insignificant minority. "
They, had boycotted the banquet rath
er than listen to the"pralses of Roose
velt from the lips of a member of the
Simon faction. '. .
Joseph. Simon was also one of the ab
sentees, and hla adherents explained that
though he had intended to come, he final
ly decided to stay away rather -than to
accentuate by his presence the feeling
which had been aroused.." v.-".. ;
But the Simon Republicans were dls-
posedto be generous. Their applause
was g'iven as unstintedly to their oppo
nents as to their friends, and Mayor
Williams, who spoke upon Abraham Lin
coln, was greeted with an ovation which
made the rafters ring. All reference to
the bitter fight in progress between the
two factions was ..avoided throughout,
the evening, and if the harmony which
appeared to prevail waa not the genu-
I ne article, it was at least as good a
counterfeit as to defy detection. - In alU
the arrangements lor the occasion Hon
ors had been scrupulously divided. On
the chairman's right sat Mayor Will-
lams," who fights tinder the Mitchell flag.
On his left wsa ex-Gov. T. T. Geer, one
of the leaders of the Simon forces.
Four Mitchell men and four Simon men
had been selected .to respond to the
toasts, though the harmony of -this dis
position was slightly jarred by toe ab
sence of Judge Cake,' who waa appar
ently Buffering from the same indispo
sition which kept so many of his fac-J
tlon, from the banquet board. Even the
quartet waa composed of two Simon Re
publicans and two Mitchell Republicans,
and they sang without a discord. ,
The banquet waa given In honor Of
Lincoln's . birthday, and Mayor George
11. Williams had been selected to apeak
upon the subject of the martyred presi
dent. ,The reception accorded to him
waa a flattering one, and he was repeat
edly interrupted by outbursts of enthu
siastic applause. - Speaking as one who
had enjoyed an intimate personal ac
quaintance with President Lincoln, ' the
speaker briefly sketched soma of the
striking incidents of his career and
commented upon those traits which had
made him great. In concluding his ad
dress Mayor Williams said: '
"No man baa lived who could say in
his dying hour with more propriety than
Mr. Lincoln: v 'I have fought a good
fight; I have finished -my course; I have
kept the faith.' None of our public men
have been so near as Mr. Lincoln was to
the hearts of the American people. This
Was largely due to the overflowing good
ness of hla nature. He was full of the
milk of human kindness. His sympa
thies were active and outstretched ..to
the poor, the afflicted and the enslaved.
This was the beautiful feature of his
character. This was the Jewel that
adorned the brow of grlm-vlsaged war.
Liberty and union are the monuments
to the memory of Mr. Lincoln, and hla
name is among the few immortal names
that were not born to die." ,
The response by D. Soils Cohen to
the toast, ), "Theodore Roosevelt," was
remarkable for its eloquence and its Art
Ished diction. His audience was roused
to enthusiasm and the hall rang with
the frequent applause. Mr. Cohen por
trayed Roosevelt's extraordinary career,
picturing him as the embodiment of the
spirit Of the America of today. He said
in part: . .
"youngest of the presidents, he is re
sponsible for the peace and welfare of
territory and people greater than any of
his predecessors controlled, and must
meet conditions unprecedented in our
governmental system. His calm confi
dence in himself, and In hla country
men is the strength tf arm and cer
tainty of mind which makes him equal
to the charge. Even as be ' has met
the" lion of the mountain and the bear
of the forest, so with corresponding
equanimity he meets the lion and the
bear of , nations. Firm in controversy
with the one as to territorial, rights;
bold in protest to the other against
claws of persecution and fangs of mas
sacre. . . "
"In a word, . gentlemen, Republicans,

the countryr-for the coming four years,
at least the" blood of youth is "Ted

energy of. strong heart and steady nerve

tinue." ' . . . . .
J. P. Kava'naugh made a vigorous ad
dress upon 'The Young Man in Poli
tics," and G. '' C. Moser's response to
the toast, "The Cltlaen." .received much
applause. When U T. Harris rose to
speak upon "The Legislator," . he was
warmly welcomed,, and one enthusiastic
friend shouted in stentorian tones, "Our
next congressman t from the- first dis
trict!' The remarks of Mr. Harris were
touched with humor, and at times evoked
much laughter. ' A paper of much in
tarest was read by W. I). Fenton upon
the topic, "Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln's
War Secretary." The last toast ' upon
the program was "Republican Ideals,"

COAST SWEPT BY
A FURIOUS STORM
No word has- been received from
coast points for the past two days by
the local weather bureau, and no storm
reports, are available. It Is presumed,
however, by District Forecaster Beats
that the gale has somewhat subsided.
But warning signals are still flying at
all Important points. "' -

the worst In the history of that section.

FULTON WILL BE
4 COMPLETE L088
Putting into Port Orford yesterday on
account of the supply of fuel oil being
practically exhausted proved the undo
ing of the steamer Fulton, owned and
operated by the California and Oregon
Coast Steamship company.
F. F. Baumgartner, .the local agent of
the line, received word from Coos Bay
this morning that the vessel would be
a total loss. It Is presumed that she
is being beaten to pieces on the rock.
When shcr sought shelter in the harbor
a terrific gale was raging, and it is
supposed that she soon became the prey
of the storm and drifted to destruction
on the craggy beach. '
Port Orford is situated down the coast
about 40 miles below Coos Bay, It Jias
an open harbor which offers no protec
tion to a vessel whatever from a south
erly gale, the kind that was raging when
the Fulton attempted a landing.
Capt. Ben Lee is in command of the
Fulton. The vessel took on a cargo of
lumber at Portland for San Franciaco on
February 1. She had 400.000 feet
aboard, which waa furnished by the
'Eastern & Western mill. On February
8 she sailed' from- Astoria for the Bay
City, and since then not a word had
been received from her until yester
day,' when she, put into Port Orford.
The passage to the California metropo
lis by the steam schooners is usually
made in five or alx days, and when a
Week, elapsed ' and th Fulton's arrival
had not been reported, considerable un
easiness for hec safety began. to be fait.
The Fulton was built at Eureka, Cal.,
in 1898,- and ha been .engaged, in the
coast trade ever since that data Dar
ing the northern gold excitement she
was operated between Puget sound and
Alaskan points. 'At that time F. P.
Baumgartner,' the local agent, was net

RESCIND STEEL
The street committee of the city coun
cil treated the Sullivan gulch bridge
question yesterday with gloved hands.
There was an understanding previous
to the session that the steel bridge ordi
nance sttoul&pbe repealed and a recom
mendation made to the council, that
two wooden bridge's be auostltuted, but
the program was not fully carried out.
The measures originally' providing for
the steel structures were rescinded with
out any debate and the wooden bridge
substitute went by the board. Mr. Al-
bee insisted that' "something else re
mained to be done," but a few whispered
words between the city fathers closed
the Incident If the wooden brldgea
coma up mm anticipated it will be through
a resolution Introduced ty some coun
cilman, or . the , question will go over
for another session.
.The long-drawn-out contest between
the property owners and the authorities
regarding the East Oak street bridge
assessment waa definitely settled in
favor of the taxpayers. The committee
acknowledged that it had made a mis
take and passed a motion discontinuing
all . present proceedings, ordering the
advertisement of assessment withdrawn
and recommending that a more equitable
method Qf distributing the cost "be ar
ranged. f ','., ,, ;' , i '
Another interesting question came up
over the opening of Tenth street, in the
vicinity of the Terminal grounds. At
present there Is no outlet 'to the section
affected, and the owner of the property
immediately Interested held in abeyance
a protest to the work, as a club to gain
their demands, j They wielded it very
effectively, too, for it was ultimately de
cided to tax the abutting property one
third of the cost only, and distribute the
surplus pro rata along the entire street
The total cost Is something like 828,000,

believe that they would V9 Informed of
the affair if I would not agree to set

Mrs. Madeline Carmenlto made thia
statement in the municipal court this
morning, and - no . manner of cross-examination
upon the part of J. It Hlj&n
inga waa able, to change that assertion.
Hltchings, who is attorney for Walter
Alley, held on the charge of stealing a
diamond brooch from Mrs. Carmenlto, is
accused of having attempted by intimi
dation, to get her to dismiss the case.
Mrs. Carmenlto said that the attorney
told her that be knew of her past and
that It would not be pleasant for her
if this present case . would reach her
family ,. Hltchings" said that he had
only told her that the case would come
out In the newspapers If It waa not
dropped. .
"He told me that if I would drop the
case a friend of hla would get the
brooch out of the pawnshop and hold it
until it was paid for,'' said Mrs. Car
menlto. "Mr. Hitching" then said that,
he knew that my husband lived" in San
Francisco, and it would not be well for
him to hear of the case. But I was in
formed that the matter would reach
him if. the case was not dropped,".
Walter Alley said : .n. did not, au
thorize anyone to try to get Mrs. Car
menlto to drop the case by threatening
to tell her relatives of th affair."
Detective Hartman stated that he bad
heard Hitchlngs tell Mrs. Carmenlto
that the matter could ba fixed up out of
court and thua kept away from the
newspapers. Mr. Hartman also said that
the attorney had gone on and explained
that if the matter wa dropped nothing
mora would ever be said about It, but if
it was prosecuted the Whole thing would
come out The detective also said that
the attorney had mentioned that he had
some letters that might be shown in the
case that would not look very welL
W. . Klernan and Clerk Olson of the
police court testified in the same strain.
- Hitchlnga then took th witness stand.
He said that he bad Introduced himself
to Mrs. Carmenlto and had told her that
the case would be reported in the news
papers If it was tried,
"Then your object - was to have the
case settled out of court?" asked the
Judge. V '
"Yes, if the court waa willing replied
the attorney.

"I plead with God to strike me dead

"This is on earthly court," replied Mr.

"I would, but these here'' things 'are

pointed to the reporters.

Washington, Feb." 13. The United
States government is . much ' surprised
at Russia's apathy over. Hay's note of
integrity of China, and it is thought that
Germany's prompt action In . agreeing
with this country would allay Russian
suspicion of any ulterior motive- on the
part of the United States. The gov
ernment will make another effort to se
cure Joint action, on . the note and ex
pects England to Join. -although-4he lat
ter country has not formally reached an
agreement Considerable anxiety is
caused by what is thought to be Rus
sia's mistrust and Secretary Hay is pre
paring a second rtute stating more def
initely the position of neutrality of the
United States.
