Federal officials who are investigat ing the Standard Oil company are look ing for a man who "borrowed" $7,500, 000 from the company. The house committee has begun its tanrt revision inquiries Haas was subjected iust before he took his own life. Just what these disclos ures will be and whether or not they will implicate anybody in a conspiracy cannot now be learned from the prosecution. It is true, however, that Detective Burns, at the time he was making an examination of the body of the dead man at the county jail, was heard to make remarks which indicated that his chain of evidence secured from Haas' statements was not nearly as conclusive Roosevelt says he will not run for as he bad hoped, and that for that rea son he deplored the act which made it impossible to secure any further statements. the senate from New York.

Increase Commodity Rates. i ortland. important changes in freight rates to and from the Pacific coast will be made by the new trans continental tariffs that are to go into effect January 1. All points on the Pacific coast between San Diego, Cal., and Vancouver. B. C. will be effected by the changes. It is said that the tendency will be to increase commod ity rates under the new tariff. Some increases as high as 10 per cent are intended, although the average will be from 5 to 10 cents on the hundred. Class rates, it is said, will be slightly reduced. Prosperous Year for Stockmea, Yale. With the close of a prosperous year for farmers, cattlemen and sheep men in southeastern Oregon, there are abundant signs of prosperity reflected in the growth of the towns of the dis trict. As the gateway to the markets for the greater part of Malheur and l.'irney counties, Vale, the terminus of the Malheur railroad which connects with the Short Line at Ontario, is reap ing the benefit of the general prosper- ty prevailing over the territory, and showing signs of developing into a modern, progressive and energetic community. Famine Threatens Klamath.. Klamath Falls. Flour is now selling in Klamath county at .$3.20 a hundred weight, and it is believed from the present outlook that there will not be enough to last until spring. It is prob able that grain and flour will have to be shipped into this country before next reason s eron is ready. Wheat is now selling at -tL.'O a hundred weight, and oats and barley about the same. This price is nearly double that of last year Buying Up Light Plants. Vale The Vale Electric Light com pany changed hands a few days ago. The new purchasers are the Ox Bow people, who are diveting the Snake river, near Huntington, across the "Ox Bow" in order to get power for electric light, electric railways, etc. The new company is purchasing a number of different plants in Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho. Hope Bros., of Vale, were the former owners of the Vale Light company. SHIP SUGAR BEETS. Union Sending Out an Average of 90 Tons Per Day. Union Within a few days practical ly all the sugar beet crop of this dis iriet will have been gathered and shipped to the factory at La Grande. Last week shipments aggregating 180, 000 pounds, or 90 tons per day, were made, and it will require a few days more to clear the fields. With the cold nights of the last two weeks farmers have been hurrying the crop to market with all haste, and shipments have been made regularly. The plant is running at full capacity, and enough beets are now on hand to keep it in operation for weeks. It is complained generally that the plant at La Urando cannot secure acre ago enough of beets to keep the- fac tory in operation long enough in a sea sou to make the business profitable Around this town a number of colonies have been established, and the fields are used almost exclusively for beet culture, with good profits to the pro ducer. A number of German families have been brought in this season, and labor is more plentiful than ever be- rore. Institutes in Klamath. Klamath Falls Klamath county far mers have formed an organization and will conduct local institutes in the va rious towns of the irrigated district during the coming winter. The first of the institutes was held at Klamath Kails last week, at which Hon. J. W. Bailey, state dairy and food commis sioner, was the principal speaker, and gave the farmers some excellent ad vice as to the importance of dairy de velopment. The institute was under the auspices of the Klamath chamber of commerce, and aroused considerable interest and enthusiasm. As a result, it is the purpose of the active citizens to keep the good work going. Improve Marshfield Mine?. Marshfield Extensive improvements important to Marshfield have been an nounced by the Spokane, Yakima & West Coast Railroad company, the Spo kane corporation which purchased from the Oregon Coal & Navigation com pany the Libbv coal mine at Marsh field, the steamer M. F. Plant and 3680 acres of land near the city. The presi dent of the company, Colonel T). IT. Butts, of North Dakota, and M. X.

Brownsville Brownsville is assum ing metropolitan proportions. Two new brick business blocks have been com pleted, and fine residences are rising on all sides. There have been more sub stantial buildings erected during the past year than in any previous ten years. Brownsville's most pressing need is train service. It takes passen gers two days to make the trip to Port land and return, a distance of less than 200 miles. HAAS TAKES LIFE. Would-Be Assassin of Heney Shoots Himeelf in Jail. San Francisco, Nov. 16. Morris Haas who attempted to assassinate 1 J Heney Saturday night, committed sin cide by shooting himself through the middle of his forehead with a pistol he had concealed about his person. It is reported by District Attorney Langdon that Haas made a confession and named the people who hired him to shoot Mr. Heney, but Mr. Langdon declares lie will not divulge the names Haas went to bed at 8 o'clock at the county jail, and covered up his face with a blanket. At 8:40 a shot was heard from his cell, and when the guards en tered, it was found that he had rolled out of bed and was lying dead on the floor with a bullet-hole in his forehead A 41-caliber single-shot derringer was grasped in his hand. His left trouser leg was pulled up and examination showed a mark on his leg where the weapon had rested while concealed in his left shoe. Haas wore gaiters with elastic sides, which made this possible After he had shot Mr. Heney Haas was searched by Police Captain Duke Detective Burns and a police officer, After he had been taken to the county jail he was searched again, but at neither time were his shoes examined. Haas went to bed Friday night with his shoes on and again Saturday night, and when he was asked why he did this said that lie would rather sleep with them on. HENEY IMPROVES.

Heney is still most satisfactory, and the attending surgeons report that he is making excellent prog ress on the road to recovery. He passed a comfortable night, sleeping most of the time, and rested easily yesterday. How Haas secured the pistol with which he committed suicide is the ques tion which is puzzling the police and special airents of the prosecution. Lap tain Duke says Haas had no other weapon when arrested, and Captain Kellv. in charee of the jail, says there was no opportunity for a pistol to have been passed to the prisoner in ms ceil. Detective Burns is said to nave wor ried some sort of admission from Haas that he was encouraged in his threat icainst llenev. but just bow much of a statement was secured trom tne pris oner before he killed himself, the pros ecution refuses to reveal. Although the bullet has been located embedded in the left jaw, about an inch in front of the ear. the surgeons have decided not to extract it until Mr. Heney pains more strength, as it has as yet given no trouble. The swelling in the throat is less man at any time since the patient was taken to the hospital, and he is breathing normally. San Francisco. Nov. 16 At a meeting f citizens Saturday night, presided over by Mayor E. R. Taylor, resolutions were passed declaring unwavering allegiance to law and a determination to support the district attorney's office in securing the detection and conviction of crimi nnk hicli or low. and the full protec tion of the officers in the discharge of their duty. The resolution also declared that, if the criminal law was found to be so framed as to permit the escape of civic malefactors, the law must be amended, and if the lax administration of the law was due to misinterpretation by judges, men should be placed upon the bench capable of construing the law. The meeting was the most significant that has been held since the days of the vigilantes, and demonstrated that public sentiment is fully aroused and deter mined to bring an end to the demoral izing conditions of the last two years. spring. lltfill'c; ducks, old. 127 13c: voting.

Winter is here, snow fell in Chicago yesterday, and in ''o afternoon lights were necessary in -11 the homes and offices to dispel the San Francisco, Nov. 14. The Sat Francisco bribery graft cases had a dramatic climax yesterday, when As sistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney, who has been in charge of the prosecution during its course of two years, was shot and seriously wound ed in the crowded courtroom by Mor ris Haas, an ex-convict. The shoot ing occurred during a brief recess in the third trial of Abraham Ruef on the charge of bribery, which is now. in its 11th week. With four uniformed policemen in the hall, half a dozen of the prosecu tion's special detectives within a few feet, one of them detailed especially as his bodyguard to see that no at tempt was made upon his life, and several court bailiffs md attaches scattered about, the aggressive special prosecutor, whose fearless and relent les work in the exposure and prosecu tion of graft in the municipal affairs of this city, earned him many ene mies, was shot in sight of 500 persons. Mr. Heney is now in the Lane hos pital, and the physicians say that his. wound is not fatal. Haas is in the city prison. I he would-be assassin is a Jew and a saloonkeeper, who was. drawn upon the jury panel in the sec ond trial of Ruef, and, after having been temporarily passed by both sides, was exposed in a dramatic man ner by Mr. Heney as an ex-con vict and discharged from the jury. Haas declared alter the shooting that Heney had ruined his life by this exposure, and that he had determined to kill Mr. Heney for that reason. Mr. Heney was leaning over on his table, conversing in low tones with Al. McCabc, chief clerk of the district attorney's office. Directly in front of him was James L. Gallagher, the witness, and a representative of the Associated Press had just walked to Mr. Heney's table, and was standing at his left elbow, waiting for an op portunity to speak to him, when a. small man, neatly attired and having. decidedly Jewish cast of counte nance, approached the assistant dis trict attorney from behind in quick steps, but with deliberation. Sudden ly his right hand shot out, and before the newspaper man. Mr. McCabe or John Foley, Mr. Heney's special body guard, sitting about eight feet away, could make a move, there was a flash ind a loud report rang through the courtroom. Ruef and his two attorneys, who were out on the sidewalk, were startled by the report and started for the courtroom, but were forced down the steps by the crowd rushing fran tically out. What has happened? shouted Ruef to the Associated Press repre sentative as the latter ran out to the nearest telephone. Heney has been shot,' was the reply. Ruef s automobile stood m front of the building, and he immediately or dered his chauffeur to get the nearest physician. The caj returned a few minutes later with Dr. A. S. Tuchlcr, of 70,'i Van Ness avenue. "My God," exclaimed Mr. Ach. "f wish I had never taken a criminal ase in tnv life. I will never take an ther when I get out of this one. 1 his is a dastardly outrage. cannot express myself in strong enough terms. Mr. Heney did not denounce this man Haas, if be is the one who. did the shooting. Tn pursuance of his duty he disclosed the fact, during the other trial of Mr. Ruef, that Haas v;k a n ex-convict, ami as such had him dismissed from the jury box. I sin cerely hope that Mr. Heney will re cover." 'The report of the attempted assas sination spread throughout the city like wildfire, and caused intense ex citement and indignation. An immense crowd gathered an nd Carpenters Hall, to which Judge Lawlor had moved his court this week on account of the lack of room and facilities in the temporary criminal court building. Several hundred persons followed the ambulance from the hail to the Cen tral Emergency hospital, and down, town thousands gathered around bul letin boards. Judge Lawlor reconvened court at 5:15. He had already sent the jury to the St. Francis Hotel in charge of deputy sheriffs. As soon as a sem blance of order was restored, the court ordered Ruef, who has been at liberty on bonds aggregating $1.51)0. 000. into the custody of (he sheriff and he was soon afterward taken to the county jail. His counsel offered formal objections. Mr. Dozier then demanded that Gallagher, the witness, be also ordered into the custody nf the sheriff until his cross examination had been finished. This was refused. Here Used Own Money. Salem, Or., Nov. 1 1. "Mac. I have spent over .20.nno of my own money on these graft trials; in fact, prac tically all the available money I have has been put into this thing," Francis I. Heney said to Attorney L. If. Mc Mabon (,f Salem, when the latter vis ited Heney in 'Frisco some mouihs. ago, according to McMahon.
