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.

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

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.

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

of "Gas Pipe Thug."
Jack U Ron, now on trtal . hi.
life as th murderer of Hyman Neuman,
wia a commotion in the county Jail
Saturday night by making a vicious as
sault on J. J. Price, alias J. J. vjar, a
United States prisoner. Price's right
ey was blackened, his head badly
bruised and a deep gash nearly two
Inch long, waa cut in hi forehead.
The wounds were inflicted by La
Rose in Jamming Price's head against
in iron bars of the corridor where
the prisoners are permitted to take ex
ercise. It is said that La Rose also
truck Price evral blow with his
fists. Price is a man of good size,
weighing perhaps 170 pounds, but he is
no match for La Rose, who weigh 200
pounds or more, and Is known to the
police as the "gas pipe thug."

ernment physician, was called in to at
tend him.
After the trouble La Rosa and Price
were put In eparat cell for the
night so there might be no renewal of
the trouble, and a a means of punish
ment for the men. La Rose Is unpopu
lar with the other prisoners, and 1 said
to "carry a chip" on his shoulder. This
