Coatieook. Qu.. Sept. . WhlU th
' town band played "God Save the Kins,"
i' a croat throng of peopla eurped about
. .Harry K. Thaw quarters in ino immi
tratlon detention station here tonight
and in two laniruareii shouted their ad
' Inlratlon for the millionaire slayer of
Stanford White.
Plana for a celebration of Thaw's
, eleventh hour escape from the clutches
f William Traver Jerome had been
tinder way all day and when darkness
fell there was already a small group in
: front of Thaw's Quarters. This was
constantly augmented and when the
band came marching briskly up with
th music sOrtlear to the hearts of the
,v French Canadians resounding on the
. clear night air, the pent-up enthusiasm
of Thaw's wen wishers broke loose.
They cheered htm again and again and
v finally the crowd became so enthuslas
"tic that the prisoner appeared at his
- window and delivered a brief speech of
thanks.
"Jerome Is Unveiled."
" ' "I am glad that you are glad that
, tbe fair slay haa finally won my fight.
' he said. "Jerome is at last unveiled to
j the people of Canada In his true light
- be now knows that ho haa been beaten
and he may as well go home.
"We'll put Jerome In jail unless he
runs away, howled the crowd. 'If you
five us the word we'll tear away your
cars and put Jerome in your place.
"Adlable avec Jerome," shouted one
,v feorly French Canadian. "Adlable avec
Jerome ) loup" (to the devil with Jer-
me the wolf).
The demonstration lasted over an
: hour and the crowd stayed until the
. lights In Thaw's quarters went out
Then the band marched merrily away
with the crowd following, still cheer

relic Guard Jail.
While the crowd was around the de
tention station a squad of Dominion po
lice, sent from Montreal, was ready to
. nip In the bud any attempt to liberate
the prisoner. The authorities have -no
leader it would try to set the prison-
5 er rree.
' Jerome, who has been outwitted for
the present in his efforts to secure
Thaw's Immediate return to Mattea
wan, secured through consul an ad
journment till Thursday of his hearing
on the charge of being a common gam-
tier in that he participated with a
' number of friends in a game of poker
in an automobile Thursday afternoon.
(Until 4 o'clock this afternoon, Jerome

Ha had been advised that the temper
of the people of Coatlcook was such
that his life would be In danger if he
returned there.
"I would like nothing better than to
return to Coatlcook immediately and
face every one of those who think I
.tn their enemy," isald Jerome. "If I
were merely a private citizen I would
do so,, but I am a representative of the
' lanplre state and so I shall not return
: until Thursday, when I hope that the
better sense of the intelligent people
, will prevail."
j Jerome Goes to Montreal.
. ' At tout o'clock Hector Verrette,
; Jerome's counsel, motored down to Nor
ton Mills and told his client that a
search of the Canadian statute had
failed to reveal that the gambling of
fense charged is a crime and that there
fore the warrant against him would be
-quashed.
Jerome then motored to Island Pont,
Vt, with Franklin Kennedy, deputy at
, torney general of New York, and Captain
John Lauyon, his personal bodyguard.
There he took a train for Montreal over
'the Canadian Pacific route, not passing
through the judicial district of St. Fran
cis, la which Coatlcook is located. At
Montreal Jerome will engage lawyers
-and continue the fight for Thaw'a ear-:
Jy deportation. He still believes that
he will have Thaw over the border with
in a fortnight and will devlHe ways and
means to combat the latest move of tho-
Thaw lawyers in securing a writ of
habeas corpus returnable September 15.
Jerome thinks that the minister of
justice or Premier Borden has power
. , to order the immediate execution .of the
Immigration boards ediot of deporta
tlon to Vermont.
Prosecutor Aids Jerome.
The unusual spectacle of a crown
prosecutor appearing for a defendant
in a Canadian court was afforded to
day when Jacob Nicoll, K. C, came here
and aided Attorney Verrette In getting
.delay for Jerome before Justice of the
Peace McKee.
"This charge is ridiculous and should
be dropped," said Prosecutor Nicoll to
Justice McKee.
The Justice scratched his whiskers,
v. but A. C. Hanson, the Coatlcook prose
cutor, retorted with:
, "It Is not ridiculous. We want Tan
; keee to understand that they are not
In the backwoods when they come to
- Coatlcook."
Spectators Hod Approval.
Every head in the crowded courtroom
nodded approval of Hanson's sentiments.
, The nod was followed by a cheer and
'. - nerved McKee to say:
"It is humiliating that an officer of
the state of New York should commit a
crime in the, public streets of Coatl
cook." "Where is Jerome," demanded some
, one.
"He la away on business," replied
ICico'L
; "Ves and he will never come back ''
i rotorfed the epectator.
i "That la not true," responded Mr. Nic
'011. "Mr. Jerome would be here today
' If wanted. He will be here Thursday "
v Calls Arrest a Mistake.
t The delay was granted and later
; Prosecutor Hanson admitted In private
that the arrest of Jerome was a mis
take. In view of the attitude of his
:) constituents, however, he Is afraid to
withdraw the charge.
i Mr, Nicholl said:
, "There Is no doubt the charge will
i collapse. Mf. Jerome has committed no
j crime and no case can be made out
against him."
The Immigration officials have not
; decided whether they will take Thaw
; to Montreal immediately or wait untl
j a (lay or so before the habeas corpus
1 hearing. ".
. WH Vot lrt a, Beseue.
' "We certainly shall not' move htm
In the day-time," said one. "There are
hundreds here who would take hand
t to rescue him If they had a chance.'
Today's - reports were brought to
' Thaw that "Jerome had ItimDod his
.fail."
;: Tfcajr immediately sent wprd ,,J
Magistrate McKeo that he would make
good any amount that should be lost
to the local cltlsen who had accepted
half of Jerome s 500 ball bond.
"I shall not pay the other $250," said
Thaw, 'because that responsibility was
accepted by Mr. Jeromes counsel."
Bore Tor a Tear.
Thaw said ha haa been Informed that
hla stay In Canada is assured for at
least one year.
"None can interfere with the court
of ling's Bench," he exclaimed, "and
until their decision Is given and per
haps appealed through the highest
courts up to the privy council, I cannot
be deported. I believe that yesterday's
decision qf the Immigration board was
unlawful."
Reports are current that application
for Thaw's release on bail will be made
on Monday. Thaw does not believe he
will be balled until after the hearing on
the flfteonth.

COLUMBIA COUNTY LINK
FOR HIGHWAY TO OCEAN
(Continued From Page One.)
heels of the association's annual meet
ing at Gearhart last week, when the
organization went on record as favor
ing the early completion of a highway
along the Oregon shore of the lower
Columbia.
Although the campaign was only
started yesterday, Julius h. Meier, presi
dent Of the association announced that
13160 or the necessary fitoo to defray
the cost of making the survey has been
aubscribed. Those who subscribed are
Amos Benson, $600: Paul Weasinger,
500; James Muckle, $500; Meier &
Frank company, IfiOO: Samuel Hill, $150;
The Journal. $500, and the Oregonlan,
$500.
Balsed by Private Subscription.
Recourse to private purses is neces
sary for the reason that the state high
way commission has not available funds
at this time to push a survey and with
a survey made immediately, Columbia
county will be in position to vote bonds
for highway construction In November
and get the work under way without
delay.
In this connection President Meier
pointed out that action taken now will
result in the completion of the Colum
bia county link by next summer, in all
probability, something that would bene
fit alike farmers and business people In
the affected district and road totirlsts
as well.
It is said the state highway commis
sion favors a policy of refunding sur
vey money expended by counties where
bonded -road construction on through
lines is taken up later. While the com
mission has not funds for this now, It
believes money will be available later
for refunds of this character.
The money raised by subscription will
be turned over to the county court of
Columbia county, and will be expended
in the work under the direction of the
stale highway commission.
Makes Appeal for Aid.
"All friends of the good roads move
ment are appealed to for help," said
President Meier lent night "With suf
ficient funds donated and the survey
made, Columbia county officials and
local interests who back the gurvoy,
will see that road construction Is rushed
I am sure. From what I hear, citizens
of Columbia county favor good road,
and I feel sure, are wllllag to vote the
necessary money to build them."
The Idea of inviting private subscrip
tions originated at St. Helena early last
week, when 17 prominent Multnomah
county men met with tbe Columbia
county court At the time a number
of loading men of Columbia county
gave assurances that tlfc people would
respond. It was also decided that the
proposed bondilng act would be made
to Include an appropriation for the con
struction and improvement of some of
the interior roads that will not become
part of the links In the through high
way to the sea.
Under the plans now being consid
ered the first bit of construction would
be Improvement of the present road be
tween Ooble and Rainier, now the hard
est stretch between Portland and As
toria. The plans likewise call for im
provements at other points in Columbia
county. i
Much Work Heoessary.
About 60 miles of the route of the
proposed Columbia River Highway be
tween Portland and the sea Is In Col
umbia county and in this stretch the
greatest jtmount of work would have to
be performed.
The reach between the Multnomah
county line and Deer Island station, It
miles, is in fairly good shape, and It
Is eutimated that it could be macadam
ized at a cost of $1,600 per mile. Two
miles of bad road is found In the next
eight miles and It la estimated the cost
of Improving this section would average
$3,000 a mile. The cost of construction
between Goble and Rainier has not been
estimated yet. j
"We believe what is good for Colum
bia county Is beneficial to Portland as
well," said Mr. Meier, "and we are pro
foundly Impressed with, the belief that
good roads In Columbia cdunty would be
of Immeasurable benefit - to Columbia
county's citizens and to other districts
surrounding In a lesser but very im
portant measure. ; ,

cut through Columbia or Washington
counties and Columbia possesses the
natural route. Its wonderful natural
resources, now closed largely because of
poor roads, will be quickened and de
veloped by road construction.
"Some people labor under the mis
taken idea that a road as planned would
redound to the benefit of the auta
moblle owner, exclusively. It 'is true
that autolsts would use such a high
way, but it must be remembered also
that good roads means higher land
values, better transportation facilities
makes marketing easier, and attracts
home builders and producers, who. In
turn, bring wealth.
'Columbia county has been doing some
good road work and the policies of the
people are progressive. It is apparent,
however, that if the work along the
route of what must become Columbia
Highway is systematized more, and bet
ter standards followed, progress would
be more rapid.
Better Standards Urged.
"The association wants aid In se
curing better standards and we in turn
will extend every aid within our power
to get the best results for the local
peopis affeoted by road work.
Ihe world recognizes the Port of
the Columbia as one of the most re
markable inland harbors of the globe.
Here we have 110 miles of navigable
waters with opportunity for deep sea
business on either bank. In time this
entire reach of water will come to be
an immense industrial realm, and a good
highway at this time will assist much
In bringing about thicker settlement by
connecting th8 various communities.
Road transportation le an absolute cor-
rollary to the navigation and railway
lines even now possessed.
"Between Goble and Rainier and per
haps for two miles before reaching Go-1
ble, the last link for completing a good
road between Portland and the half way
point to the sea must be nerformrt
Rainier Is doing heroic work to fininh
its district beyond that city. Clatskanle
is working diligently and Clatson on.in
ty Is performing Spartan work at its
ena or the llne while Multnomah has
unisnea. in Columbia county is found
ine one Dig barrier and wo trust it will
una its wsy clear to get the Goble-Ral
mer iiiiK constructed at a reasonably
tuny uaie.
Hirer Bouts Preferred.
"There ha been three possible routes
for a highway between Portland and the
sea suggested." said K. L. Thompson of
Hartman A Thompson. "The most feas
ible and valuable of them all Is, In mv
opinion, the route hugging the river;
where the towns are and where the back
country must come to market
"In Columbia county two roads should
be constructed, one on the river shore,
the other one Into the Nehalem valley
to give those in the interior a proper
outlet.
"One splendid advantage in the line of
road construction is the fact that there
is plenty of excellent basalt close to
St. Helens which could be readily put
to use on the roads.
'It is a good thing and the proper
thing to do and Portlanders should get
behind the movement and lend all aid
possible in opening up the countrv, be
cause what will help Columbia will also
help Portland and the surrounding coun
try. Good roads are a splendid invest
ment under any circumstances."

senger traffic safer."
"Vtice-President Doan of the Pullman
company has assured me t. it before
January 19. 1914, all eteel cars or steel
under-frame cars will be furnn..ed to
supplant all wooden sleeping care on
the road."
Elliott said steel equipment already
contracted for will cost approximately
$3,750,000, and contracts for cars not
Included In previous statements add
$6,660,000 more. He said he had author
ized the Installation of new signals on
the division on which the Walltngford
wreck occurred, and $365,000 had been
voted for this work.
Elliott pointed out that the matter, of
Issuing debenture bonds so that the
road might finance itself, was now up.
After notes falling due are paid up, a
balance of $21,538,250 will be on hand
for the expenditures mentioned, if the
bonds are authorised, he said.
"If the road cannot get the money It
cannot do the work." he said, "so that
It would appear to be to the Interest of
the public as much as to the 1 merest of
the road to have the proposed plan go
through promptly, even If some disagree
in question of what is the best way to
raise the money."
Elliott asserted that Mellen now had
no connection directly or Indirectly
with the New Haven. .
The new president said he knew noth
ing as to the action that would be taken
as a result of J. P. Morgan & Co. sev
ering their connection with the New

vance notice of the action, Elliott de
clared, and he did not expect to see him
again until the next regular meeting
of the executive committee of the road.
Morgan will continue as director of
the New Haven, said Elliott.

CAMINEHI JUROR SAYS
HE VOTED GUILTY ONLY
TO SAVE LAWYERS' FEES
Declares Verdict Should Be Re
versed and That Both the
Girls Perjured Themselves.
San Francisco, Cal, Sept. . "I voted
to find Camlnettl guilty to save his
father and his mother from a lot of
useless counsel fees," said William A.
Helster today, one of the jurors that
convicted the eon of the commissioner
general of immigration as a? white
slaver.
"I voted young Camlnettl guilty be
cause the rest of the Jurors Insisted
on a compromise, and I regard the
verdict as a disgrace to the United
States. I believe the verdict will be
reversed, for I believe that the young
man la innocent of this charge.
'When we began to deliberate the
question was put up to the jurors that
there was not a man among the 12
jurors who had not, at some time in
his career, done the same thing as
young Camlnettl had done. This was
debated up and down, but It was
finally agreed by the majority that
the Jury could not do anything but
convict in the face of the instructions
given by Judge Van Fleet.
"The man who held out with, me fori
acquittal was Charles O. Clausen, tho
architect in the Phelan building. Fran
cis Carola at one time wanted to return
a verdict of guilty on the first three
counts of the indictment, but I told
him I would stay out until next Christ
mas if any agreement of that kind
was entered into among the rest of the
jurors. Tom Haskins, the former au
pervisor, was with Clausen and myself
on a verdict of acquittal, but he got
cold feet after the third ballot had been
taken and Joined the majority.
"I believe the verdict will be re
versed by the United States circuit court
of appeals and that was one of the
main reasons why I agreed on the com
promise verdict.
"Since I reached the opinion to vote
with the rest of the Jurors on the com
promise verdict I have had many mis
givings. I Joined the majority the Kami
as the average man would, and I candid
ly regret It. I should have kept to my
original intention and refused to vote
guilty on any of the count. That's the
way I reel about it now. '

mony of Marsha Warrington and Lola

"Every man sitting in the Jury box
regarded the testimony of Miss War
rington and Miss Norrlg as perjured tes
timony," replied Helster. "All of the
jurors admitted that these two girls
Wore drilled witnesses, and there was
not a man among the 12 who did not see
into the politics behind the whole trial.

district attorney, acted as a pollticoan,

fact. Thus what could the Jurors do?

The Oregon Panama-Pacific exposi
tion commission announced yesterday
that tbe plans for the Oregon statu
building on the ' exposition , grounds
drawn "by the Portland architectural
firm of Foulkea & Hogue have been
accepted.
Oregon is thus the first state in the
union to decide upon the plans for
state building, and takes leadership in
this regard of all foreign countries
planning to exhibit at the 1915 expedi
tion.
While the plans make the building
both rugged and monumental, Oregon
logs will be used only for pillars.
Slabbed wood bearing the bark un
touched will make up the walls. The
commission was guided In its award
by tbe fact that among all the plan
submitted In the competition that of
Foulkea & Hogue gave evidence of
most originality. It catches the eyo
ana is sure to attract attention because
of Its Individuality among more preten
tious buildings, said Chairman O. M
Clark' of the exposition commission.
uregon lumber manufacturers are
expected to furnish the logs for tho
pillars.. They will be of the largest
lie, calculated to show the kind of
timber grown In a state that haa 400.-
000,000,000 feet oiWstandlng timber to
day. The site of the Oreaon building
at me exposition is ZOO by 300 feet.
The commission has accepted the
suggestion of delegates from prominent
civlo and business ore-anlzations of
the state and will have llvlnar. action
exniDiia, rather tnan the inanimate,
which It is believed will not attract at
tention ao quickly or advertise Oregon

Oregon will also he represented by
exhibits in the agricultural, horticul
tural and food products buildlnas at
trie exposition but the apace allotted
to Oregon 1s so small that requests
have been sent to the exposition com
pany for more generous apportion
ment. Both of the members of the firm
Of Foulkea & Hogue are native Ore-
gonlans, their early education having
been secured in the public and high
schools of this state. Their parents
were among the early pioneers.
Chairman Clark haa been author
ised to execute a contract for the su
perintendence of the building which
will be constructed. It Is understood.
pretty closely in line with the plans
approved, though subject to change by
the commission.

belt which proves that he is the light
weight champion of the British Empire,
was found buckled around the body of
Henry Beckett, who claims to have once
been an Australian Jockey, as Henry
stepped off the steamer Princess Vic

out of a candy shop In Vancouver a
week ago last Thursday. Nothing was
heard of it until this morning, when
Beckett was arrested as he stepped off
the boat by W. G. Turnbull. a customs
officer at Pier 1. Beckett put up a fight
and twice broke away, but Turnbull

and on the lower river hav been buy
ing logs at especially invltimr prices
for a few days, as the result of a lit
tle price slashing among some of the
big loggers. It is said that "to make
business move" logs were sold on a
basis of $6, $8 and $11 pep thousand
feet, a 'reduction of about $2 per
thousand.
That the war will be of short dura
tion is the general opinion, for it is
admitted that- there- is no profit In
cutting Umber and producing saw logs
at such figures, loggers contending
that even when prices are on the $7,
$9 and $13 basis, the Industry is noth-
ing to shout about.
"Yes, it is true that log prices have
been slashed a little during the past
week," said a prominent lorgger yes
terday afternoon, "but I don't think
the war will continue long, for there
certainly is no profit In operating un
der such conditions. The facts in the
case, however, are that during the
summer months many of the larger
camps, I might say nearly all of
them in the Columbia river district,
have been idle to allow the produotlon
of lumber to catch up with the sup
ply of logs in the water.
'Two of the largest camps shut
down and curtailed production and
cleaned up at a little below the rul
ing quotations. When "time came to
resume operations these big camps
found they were still well supplied,
while their competitors had practi
cally empty booms, and so rate slash
ing began. ,
T have been told that quite a few
logs were disposed of for as low as
$6 a thousand feet. Of course, these
were of an inferior grade. But the
nrlce was anvwav about 11 less car
thousand than has been ruling for a
long time."
The camps closed down about two
months ago when several thousand
men were laid off, but several of the
larger camps resumed operations on
the first of the month and others will
resume tomorrow. Among- camps re
cently placed in operation are those of
the Wisconsin Logging and Timber
oompany at oak Point, tne jernin
Green Logging company, at Blind
Slough, and the Paetflo Logging com
pany at Deep River. Three camps of
the Twin Falls Logging company, near
Yacolt, will resume operations totnor-
