MONDAY EVENING,, NOVEMBER 9, 1908, III IS 22.771 Complete returns From Ev ery County Except Curry Are In-Plurality Will J Probably Be Slightly Less Than 23,000. Taft's plurality In Oregon will proba bly be slightly less than 23,000. With complete returns from the whole state except Curry county,. Taft's lead over Bryan Is now 21,771, and the official count In the county mentioned will probably add less than 100 to this total. ' The figures given In the table be low are for the most part taken from 'the reports of the official count. Con slderable confusion has arisen from the fact that manr voter who desired, for example, the "election of Taft, " voted for only one or two of the Republican electors, and tn some instances voted for some Republican and some Desio- cratie electors, in tne same way same Democrats voted for one or more Re publican electors. The canvassing boards la the various counties have followed no uniform, lan In counting- these split ballots. The re ports from some counties are . based upon the highest vote cast for any Taft or Bryan elector; while In other coun toes an average has been atrack. The Roosevelt plurality in Oregon In 1904 was 42.934. U IS evident that Taft'a plurality will be more than one hnlf of this figure, though It will fall short of earlier estimates. The vote by counties, with Curry ln- cumuieio, la as loucirs: Taft Bryan. 1,811 T7 naiter ... Benton v.

After the preliminary TAFT'S RELIGION IS PLACED i Three questions were presented to tbe Presbyterian Ministers' association this morning In a paper by Rev. E. M. fiharp, which furnished the theme for an In teresting, discussion by all the minis ters present. The first question was: In the re cent election did those who voted for Mr. Taft betray their Lord, as is claimed by some who make his religious Mew an Issue? The second question was: What shall the presbytery of Portland do about receiving applications for admittance from men who belong to other denominations. The third ques tion was: How would you make out a budget for your church and how for the presbytery? Kev. J. A. f. Mctiaw, Rev. Henry Marcotte, Rev. Charles Hayes and oth ers spoke earnestly on the first ques tion urging that those who made an Issue on Mr. Taft's religious views were doing a wrong thing and violating the distinct provision of the constitution which says that there is to be no re striction on account of a man's relig ious beliefs. A few of the ministers held that his affiliation as a Unitarian should have debarred him from stand ing a the head of an avowed Christian LAWYER ENGAGES IN WRESTLING MATCH WITH YOUNG BUCK DEER Dime novels are full of talpg of com bats between men and Infuriated elk or- moose, but John H.

CASTORIA Tor ZdjjeuiU and CjiUfren., y .. Tt3 Kinl Ycu Hare Always Bought v Sears 'th ' Slgnator of SlflTRMS TO COMPETE FOR MILS Hill and JIarrlman Rival Lines So Engage in Mad Eace Betweeen Portland and' Chicago for Big Unit cd States Contract. Traffic officials of the rival Hill and Harrlman line are girding up their loins for a two -years' struggle for the privilege of carrying the United State mail between Portland and Seattle, and the east. Plans have been agreed upon by the Harriman officials for a new lim ited through train between Chicago and Portland, which will make the run in 71 hours, the time made by the overland limited between Chicago and San Fran cisco. The Hill officials, on the other hand, are arranging with the Burlington to run a limited train between Portland and Chicago, over the North Bank to Spokane, from there to Billings, Mont., via the Northern Pacific and thence to Chicago over the Burlington. The visit of the president and vice-president of the Burlington to Portland in conjunc tion with the Hill party last week waa for the purpose of looking over the country with the view of establishing this new limited service for the north west. Although the United States govern ment will not weigh the malls again until 1910. the bulk of the through east ern mall will go over the line having the quickest service. The North Bank is known to be planning on establish ing its last trains that are to race ror the mails as soon .as the Pasco-Spokane line is completed. This will be about the middle of February or the first of March. The announcement that the O. R. k N. will establish a new electric lighted train between Portland and Chi cago on the first of March show that the Harrlman officials have been keenly awake to the situation and are going to give the Hill roads a run for their money. Every effort of the O. R. N. for the past year has been directed toward putting the line between Portland and Green River In such shape that there will be no difficulty in making extra fast time. It is with this purpose that the new line between Portland -and The Dalles has been built and that new 75 pound rails are , being laid over almost the whole line. At present the faatest time between Portland and Chicago Is 74 hours. One great objection to the 6 resent service, however, is that the arrlinan lines run a special mail train from Chicago to Oakland, Cal. At Oreen River, where the Oregon Short Line and the Union Pacific branch, the mall for the northwest is sidetracked to wait for No. 1, the regular westbound passenger. In this way it Is delayed nearly five hours at Green River, and does not reach Portland until night This keep It from getting Into Seattle ami f uget sound points until mo fol lowing morning. The new train, how ever, will eliminate this trouble It is believed and be scheduled so that It will reach Portland In the morning and get the mall for Puget sound into Se attle tne same aiternoon, tnus savin; almost a whole day on mall for Puget sound and more than half a day for Portland. The North Bank at present 1 carry ing the mail from Vancouver to Pasco and enables mall sent from Portland to reach the east nearly 13 hours earlier tnan formerly. This Is because the greater part of the mail for St. Paul goes over the Northern Paciflo to Se attle and thence to the east over the transcontinental line of the Northern Pacific By leaving Vancouver 11 hours later, however, the mall arrive in Pas co In time to catch the same Northern Pacific train that It would have been sent on had It been forwarded via Se attle. No arrangements have been completed ret for carrying the mail between Port and and Vancouver but this will come about within 'the very near future, ac cording to an official of the North Bank. As soon a the North Bank es tablishes regular train service between Portland and Vancouver it will ask the government for all the mall bound for tne east via Bpvxane. TMES DEADLY N JAIL Thomas L. Perkins, a United States prisoner at the county Jail, held on a charge of robbing a postofflce, took an overdose of chloral yesterday afternoon and came near passing over the great divide. Only by the quick action of Jailer Hunter, who administered an emetic and of Dr. pan ton, the govern ment physician, who waa called In, was he saved. As soon a the alarm was given, Hunter gave the man hot water and mustard and worked wih him until the arrival of the physician. It was some time before he was out of danger. The dose swallowed by Perkins was Intended for the use of Ernest Dlebler, another prisoner, and had been left by Dr. Mc Cornack, the county physician. It con tained about 120 grains of chloral. Dle- bler had been complaining that the medicine nad no errect in making him sleep, and expressed the belief that it was no good. Perkins denies that he took the medi cine with intent to commit suicide. He had heard Dlebler say that the medl cines had no effect, and he thought he wouio try it. e swallowed all that re mained In the bottle.

I FIGHT TO KEEP LA ROSE'S GAS PIPE Battling -with .all their might to strengthen their case against Jack Xa Rose, on trial in the circuit court, for the murder of Hyman Neuman, the at torney for the stata this morning made an effort to put in svidenc thegas papa with which La Rose assaulted John Ching, a Chines tailor, the day after the aasassinatlon of Neuman. Af tar a morning spent In argument, the reault Is still in doubt, and the matter will not bo submitted for Judge Mor row s. oecision until late tms aiternoon. Jorni P. Logan, for -the state, and Les ter W. Humuhravs. for the defendant. are the opposing champion In the fight over this evidence, which is regarded a one of the strongest cards that the prosecution had in its hand. Logan con cluded his opening argument a few min utes arier noon, and tnis aiternoon Humphrey began hi reply. Logan will nave tne Closing argument. Another feature this morning was statement by Attorney Jay 1L Upton for the defense regarding an order by the sheriff that the prisoner should dress helmself in hi old clothe, so that be might present the same aDDear- ance In court that ha presented on May IS, the day of his arrest. The sheriff had taken this aotlon on suggestion of ueputy District Attorney Fitzgerald, who said that when La Rose Is all licked up In a good suit. Clean linen ana poiisnea shoe he present a dif ferent appearance, and witnesses called on to Identify him might have difficulty In recognising hint' under the changed conditions. Upton said the attorneys for the de fense instructed 1a Rose to dress In his best and he wanted tha court to understand that this seeming disobedi ence to the order of the sheriff 1 the result of the advice of the attorney. The attorney said that he believed the defendant had a right to wear such clothing as he wished, and to make as good an appearance) a he could, show ing at the same tlras proper respect for the court and Jury. Mr. Fltigerald briefly stated the rea son he had wanted to see La Rose dif ferently dressed. Judge Morrow said that If for any special reason It Is de- ired to have the sheriff bring the pris oner Into court dressed In a particular way. he would entertain an application for such an order. With this the mat ter was wropped. jia ciotnea were not necessary to se cure identification by John Chong. When the Chinaman was first called to the stand, Humphreys said that the de fense knew the purport of his testimony and objected to any question being asked. Judge Morrow said that he would have to hear the Questions be CALLS DOCKETS 19 TWO COURTS The trial dockets for the November term of the United States district court and for the October term in th circuit court were called by"judg Wolverton this morning;, there being an unusually large number of case on hand In the circuit court.
