Senator Fora ker's challenge to ths Roossvelt-Taft forces In Ohio draw from tha Utter to day aa answering challenge that pro- a, oontaat iinannalltd. even on, this . famous political battle ground. Fora ' ker proposed a contest at the primaries to decide whether ha should bo Indorsed ' tor president and senator. Taft'a managers came back with ths suggestion of a simplified contest, one 1 that would wipe the senator or the bis ' a acre la rr off the political elate.

Foraker declined tonight to pub licly express bis opinion of the chal lenge Issued - today at vincinnau ay C. p. Taft onltjehslf of his brotner in the presidential fight. He made It clear, however, that he would not recede one lota from hla request that ths voters of his stats bo aiven permission to for mally express their preference on the presidential and senatorial questions. which he claimed the administration has without Just cause raised In the Buckeye state. Foraker has never reoommenaeo nim- self as a candidate for president, and feels thst Inasmuch aa ths. voters of Ohio have signally honored him In the paat It would only be proper to give them an opportunity again to show their confidence (n him. The senator's friends declare that Taft's pronounce ment is put dut In an effort to befog the issue and create ths Impression tnai they have suggested a method of war fare not already outlined by Foraker. "Why should the senator consult Charles P. Taft In the matter of stats politics T" lnaulred these warm sdher ents. "On ths other hand, has .Presi dent Roosevelt carried his personal anl moBtty against the senator to such an extent that he authorized Taft formally to announce that ths contest is between the friends of the administration and President Rooaevelt and his opponsntsT" "If the prealdent is determined to ef face Senator - Foraker merely because the latter has not seen ilt to Indorse fully everything that the president has said or dons, It Is just aa well to fight It out now so that all public men throughout the oountry can learn what la demanded of them."

It Is understood that within ths past week the senator's mall baa been loaded with personal communications of a con fidential character, from commercial, industrial, professional and political friends who deprecate the fight In the party that friends of Taft have begun. They speak highly of Taft, but convey the impression that ths secretary of war has weakened whatever aspirations ha may have had by fighting under the banner of the president, . rologlsts predict that It wlU reach its height before Tuesday night and by cor.nriG TO GET SCOTTY FAGin But Chances Decidedly Against i Finding That Fugitive in Portland.

It Is said Fagtn Is well sbls to lose 1600, and It Is almost certain be will do so rather than return to Walla Walla. The Washington statutes class gam bling as a felony and It is punishable with a sentence In the state peniten tiary. Fagln, as a gambler, could make mors than SS00 In considerably less time than bis sentence in th's peniten tiary would amount to, ' Fagln was Indicted with 1 other men, among whom were several promi nent cltlsens of Walla Walla. Some of these men left town before they could be arrested, while those who were caught and released on ball are said to have left ths country. WALLA WALLA FUGITIVES Six of Them Vanish, Which Fact Even Their Attorney Deplores. rftpeclat Dhpatrh ta Tbe Joarnel.) Walla Walla, Wash., March 19. Edward Smaller. Erastus J.

Judge Brents ordered their bonds of 1500 esch to .be forfeited because of their non appearance In the supreme court this morning and ordered County Clerk Dor eey M. Hill to Issue fugitive from Jus tice warrants for them all. By agreement of ths prosecution and the attorneys for ' ths defenss the de murrer filed last week was withdrawn. Attorney C C. Gose, for ths defenXe. said: - "I had hoped the parties might be present, plead guilty and be fined under the old law, which makes tbe offense a misdemeanor. I had hoped ths new law was invalid." r ; When the court announced ths inten tion to declare the bonds forfeited At torneys Gose snd Oscar Cain, for ths defense, said they were willing to con sent to this procedure. In talking to ths court concerning their non-appearance, Attorney Oose said: ' ' "If ths defendants took my advice they would be present and testify. They would then carry tbe matter to the supreme court" Judge Brents replied: "That IS the only way we will ever know whether or not the act Is valid." One of ths interesting features during the procedure snd ons which Is seldom witnessed, according to the statements of attorneys, was the formal way in which tha bonds were declared forfeited. As ths nams of Andr Evans was read an officer was instructed to call from the courthouse door the persons' names three times. Ha then announced that onless Evsns appear the money . ds pealted by htm In lieu of bail would be declared forfeited. The' officer returned to chambers and reported that no an- bo calm again. It la all on account of tbe mayoralty election. The rival can didates, postmaster Fred A, Busse, Re publican, and Edward F. Dunns, present mayor and Democrat, have sunk unwill ingly into ths background, while an old time war among the editors Is being carried on. The brainstorms have for tbe present blown up all ths bitterest Invective and hurled It In pages of slims at the heads of the public. The Tribune prints from a building on ground owned by the school board. Hearet's American and Examiner told them, te pay higher rent or move off. Muck. Brickbats aad Suits. Tha Tribune reproduced some state ments Secretary of Stats Root made about Hearst" durtnir the last guberna torial campaign in Mew York. Hearst sued the Tribune thereupon for tl.kOO, 000. The Tribune saldi , "Wouldn't that Jar youT" ' Ths Trlbuns and all other large pa pers, except the Hearst Journals, sup port Busse. When Busse was II years eld he bad a fight. . Hs says three men attacked him and be laid a brick alongside ths Jowl of the leader. The police did not object . very strenuously, but a week later- the papers said: -.-. "Busse shot a friend three times with a 1 2-cailbre revolver In a quarrel over a woman." - - Tbe Hearst papers dug np ths musty files, reproduced the Item and added many eSomments. Then Busse sued. Hs asks U5.000 each from Hearet, Arthur Brlsbans and other editorial writers and a number of cartoonists. Busse says hs will give the Judgments to charity. Four Parties Claim Tlotory. In ths betting Busse Is the favorite at to I and 11 to 10. Considerable even money has been placed and an occasional wager Is mads with Dunns as ths favorite. The professional gam blers are about the only persons who can sit down and calmly figure out the "dope." ; Chairmen of the Democ ratio and Re publican committees both claim victory, the former saying Dunns will win by S 5,000, and the latter asserting that Busse . will move from tbe . federal building to the city bail at ths requeat of a 40,000 majority. Quy Cramer, former newspaper man and secretary to Mayor Dunne, professes to believe mat there will be a Democ ratio land' slide. William A. Brubakar, Prohibi tion candidate, says: , "No ons has any grounds upon which to predict1 that I will not win." - George Koop, Socialist, says: "I can bo sleeted if the workers get together." And out of It alL Chicago Is to sleet a mayor for the first- four-rear term At 111,000 per year. Heretofore the mayor has served two years at 110,000. Dunns thinks hs has earned ths raise. Trolley Franchises Are the Is sue. The principal Issue is ths traction question. Chicago has bsd streetcars. Dunne thinks ths city ought to own tbem. He and a majority of the elec tors thought so, too, two years ago. and elected him upon a platform of im mediate municipal ownership. "Imme diate" did not mean "right away," for Immediate municipal ownership has not arrived yet. Neither have good street cars in any considerable number. So Chicago still has ths traction problem for an issue. During tbe past two years all sorts of schemes have been proposed. They finally crystallised into a set of ordi nances adopted by ths city council for ratification at the pons. These ordi nances, if ratified, will give the trac tion companies franchisee for 2t years, reserving to ths city the right to pur chase. Fifty-five per cent of the net receipts of tbe companies must bo paid to the city. The Republicans plan to adopt these ordinances. Ths Democrats in Chicago, unequivocally bound, .to municipal own ership, are righting tor defeat them. These ordinances would preclude for a quarter of a century all probability of municipal ownership. Wintering In California. R. M. Gray, the Morrison street clothier. Is spending a most delightful winter In California, where hla family expect soon to join him. Mr. Gray eon' tracted la grippe In New Tork, re turned to Portland ' very much weak ened, and sought complete recupera tion at Coronado Beach, California. Hs hss so far recovered that the trip is re solving Itself into one of pleasurs rather than health seeking. STOCKMEN SUING ROADS FOR DAMAGE AND DEATH (Special Plspateh te Tfce Joeraal.t ' Butte.
