lake as a nlte for terminal yards was
Klven yesterday whim tha final de
tails of the transaction were com
pleted and the title to what Is known
as the Cottlo tract passed Into the
hands of the United Hallways company.
An approximate price of $2,000 on
acre for the 40 acres la said to have
been the consideration that Mrs. Blanche
Murray and Mlas Cottle, heirs of the
Thomas Cottle estate, reeclved for their
property. lioth Mrs. Murray and Mlos
Cottle are daughters of Thomas Cottle,
who took up a homestead on Guilds
lake In the early days of Portland. Mr.
Cottle acquired a largo amount of prop
erty In ami about Portland, and left a
valuable estate. His dnughtcrs resido
In California the greater part of the
time.
Attorney A. C. Emmons, for the
United Railways', and J. Couch Flan
ders, for the. Cottle heirs, drew up tho
papers for the sale of tho property and
completed all the details yesterday aft
ernoon. The land Is near the old site
of tho American Inn, on tha exposition
grounds, and runs from the "Trail" to
the shore of the lake. A portion of It
Is under water and will have to be filled
In before the work of transforming: tho
property Into terminal yarVJs la com

have caused no little surprise becnuse
cf their splendid knowledgo of import

have cleverly Btujled out.
It may be the end of next week or
longer before the discussion reaches the
final point. It has been heard outsldo
of naval circles that the discussion has
brought many Interesting aide discus

the younger officers
There Is no longer any doubt that the
younger officers have won many points
In the discussion.

Enthusiasm prevailed throughout the

enthusiasm of the ephemeral kind, hut
enthusiasm that showed the deep-rooted
sentiment of the speakers and crowd In
the issues that are at stake in the com
ing campaign. At no time did the large
crowd that filled nearly every seat In
the theatre show signs of Impatience or
a desire to leave before they had heard
the last speaker elucidate the principles
that both parties have embodied in their
platforms.
There was cheering and handclapping.
but far more impressive than either of
these was the conviction expressed and
felt by thoso attending the meeting.
Rryan's name was cheered, the speak

The ciniit approves all the miggest

There are 1,750 of theso claims, many
of thorn amounting to less than $1.
The payment of these small amounts
will make a saving In bookkeeping and

Judge Grosscup and his associates

the ground that they erred In declaring
that Judge Landls erred. The petition
will aver that the circuit court misin

Terre Haute, Ind . Aug. 1. Eugene
V. Debs, who has lust returned from a
trip east in the Interest of his candidacy
for the presidency on the Socialist
ticket, is of tho same opinion as the
Democratic leaders, that there Is no
room for the Independence party and
that It will have little effect In changing
the political situation.
"The Independence party Is not likely
to be an appreciable factor in the pres
ent campaign." said Mr Debs today.
"It seems perfectly clear that the Inde
pendence party was brought into ex
istence from motives of revenge and not
of principle. Hail Rryan supported
Hearst for the nomination for the pres
idency four years ago. there would not
now be any Independence party In the
field
"Mr Hearst supported Bryan heartily
eight years ago, In s;)lte of the reason
he now urges against h'.m Every ob
jection Hearst makes to Rryan now
could have been made with eijual reason
eight years ago. so there must be some
other cause for the formation of a new
party to defeat Mr Rryan.
"As the Independence party has not
even the remotest prospects of eleotlng

litical conference between William J.
Rr;-.m on the oni hand and John H.
Whnlen, secretary of state of New York,
and a party of Tammany men on the
ether, was the real sensation of today
nt Fairview. The Tammany men re
lated the particulars on their return to
Diner In and declared It was the first
time thny had ever experienced such
an ordeal.
"We might have tolke1, and possibly
have told him some real news," be
wailed Whnlen to his friends after he
left the sacred confines of the home of
the Commoner, "but that d--d display
of official force scared us off. Of
course, it was all right but "
Then Whalen gazed thoughtfully at
the sky and smilingly explained that ho
did not talk much, anyhow.
In the party that called on the Demo
cratic candidate today were Whalen,
Assemblyman James A. Foley, who rep
resents Charles F. Murphy's district In
the lower house of the New York legis
lature; Michael Sculley. clerk of the
city court of New York; Assemblvman
James J. Hoey of New York and P. H.
Walsh, secretary to Supreme Court Jus
tice Newberg.
Acceptance Speech to Printer.
Rryan received them cordially but,
possibly owing to the presence of Foley,
did not display his usual loquacity.
Ho told them he would speaK in New
York later in the campaign and seemed
anxious to learn if Charles E. Hurrhes
was again to be the Republican nominee
for governor of New York. All of the
New Yorkers expressed confidence that
the empire statu would go Democratic
this fall.
This was a day of conferences with
Bryan. In tho morning; he went to the
funeral of a neighbor, after which he
went to the office of his newspaper, the
Commoner. There he finally corrected
the draft of his speech of acceptance,
after going over certain parts of it
with his brother. Charles W. Bryan, and
his editor-in-chief. Richard L. Metcalfe.
He listcneii to suggestions from them,
but v hetlier or not the changes they
thought in !;.'!: t be made will lie, is prob

Hot Springs. W. Va.. Aug. 1. When
Mr. Taft addresses the members of tha
Virginia Bar association next Thursday
he will speak on what he believes to
be the most Important subjnet now be
for the American people the Improve
ment of the administration of Justice.
Attorneys from all over the old domin
ion are coming to attend the conven
tion. "Just before I went abroad." said Mr.
Taft thla afternoon, "I was asked what
I thought the most Important subject
before this country-, and I said unhesi
tatingly that it was the improvement
of the administration of Justice, the
cheapening of the law so that the poor
man louiii use it as easily and as ef
fectively as the rich man. 1 still be
lieve it to be the problem of utmost
importance.
Two Appeals Limit.
"It has been suggested that a great
Improvement for the poor man would
result if all cases involving no mora
than $500 were limited to two appeals
It lias been suggested, however, that
some demagogue will rise on his hind
legs and howl.
"Rut the poor man does not want to
spend his money In litigation before hts
case Is llnally passed upon by the su
preme court of the L'ni ted States. -.iie '
wants to know just as soon as possible
whether he is going to get or lose trials
$500. He will be bitter off If he loses
tho money at the outset than he will
be If he wins after a tedious course
of litigation continuing over a period
of years. By car rying the case to tho
court of last resort, he may win, but he
will spend a great deal more than tho
amount involved, In aitorney's fees and
other unavoidable expenses.
"At present, us our Justice is admin
istered, the rich man can hire the best
legal talent, can jiay for delays and
can afford to wait for years for the
outcome of the case. The poor man,
on the other hand, cannot afford to
pay for expensive litigation. Tha only
way that we can equailza things be
tween rich and poor people is to cheapen
the administration of justice and accel
erate its final decisions."
Mr. Taft has invited Cameron Forbes,
vice-governor of the Philippines, ami
General Clarence Edwards, who are both
in Washington, to accompany htm to
White Sulphur Springs next Friday,
when he pays a visit to the Green Brier
horse show. He will not make a speech
at White Sulphur, but will shake hands
with all the farmers.
