CENTRAL BANK
SCHEME DEAD
ANTI-ASSEMBLY FORCES WIN.
Continued from Page 1)
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. Wall
Street's most desperate scheme for
obtaining a throathold on the federal
government, tho Central bank, with
tho stock controlled by interests, has
been balked with the passing of Aid
rich from the senate, in the opinion
of Charles f. Fowler, republican, of
New Jersey, a possible senatorial
prospect. In nn exclusive interview
with the TJuitcd Press, Fowler, wh6
is an nnti-Cnnnonite and a financial
expert, declared that the Central
bank plan of the "interests" is dead.
"The monetary commission created
to deceive tho people is doomed,"
ho said. "Undoubtedly we will now
have a period of thoughtful consid
eration of the financial currency
problem. I am of the opinion that
there can be but one result to this.
Tho unfortnnato character of the
monetary commission, which was not i
uuieuiuu wnn u view ui luiuug, uu
vantnge of tho best thought of the
country, but for tho specific purpose
of currying out a preconceived pro
gram, will result most unfortunately
nud delay financial legislative ac
tion." Fowkr said that the members of
the commicsion were unfitted, as
they had no previous experience, and
that night schools and junkets were
essential o their primary financial
education. Continuing, he said:
"Through falso pretense pn the
part of Cannon and Aldricb, the pur
poso of covering up the ulterior mo
tives under claims of protecting the
dignity of tho senato the house law
creating tho commission would be so
framed that appointments were c6n
finned to membership in congress.
"Of nine members of the senate,
two alone remain after March 4. Tn
tho house probably fivo of nino re
main to recall tho incidents of tho
last two years."
FoAvler stated that his bill, 'provid
ing for a commission of eleven Wein
berg from the liontio and nn equal
aumbcr from tho senato and 31 citi
zens, to bo named by the president,
was stifled and defeated because of
Cannon's and Aldrich's objections.
iWlcr cencluded: "I think it is gen
erally conceded now that tho Cen
tral bank idea is about as dead as
tlfo pionetary commission, which is
now h matter of history, and n little
raoro than an uiiplensunt recollcfo-
tion."
Point, Phoenix, Talent and Union.
Sixteen outlying precincts are sti'l
to hear from, but probably not over
100 votes were cast in them.
Oswald West carried tho county
for tho democratic nomination for
governor by a large majority. The
name of Robert G. Smith was writ
ten, in for congressman, Robert Neil
for state senator, Henry D. Reed for
joint representative and J. W. Myers
for county commissioner.
Mulkey carried the county by a
vote of 040 to 356 for Hawley.
The vote on governor stood, Abra
ham 201, Bowerman 231, Dimmick
201 and Hofer 214.
Tom Kay got 653 votes to 277 for
Hoyt. For supreme court justice,
Bean got 649, McBride 498, McCam
mont 252, Burnett 533 and Mooro
614.
For attorney-general, Crawford
got 508 to Bait's 295. Clarke for
state printer got 430 to Dnniwny's
409.
Interest in the ballot centered in
the three cornered fight for state
senator. Von der Heller leads with
345, Cambers Is second with 330 and
Colvig third with 310. Mr. Colvig
claims that ho will carry the missing
precincts, which may change tho re
sult. In the legislative race, Westerlund
lends with 540, Eggleston is second
with 502 and Mears third with 447.
In the contest for county commis
sioner, Davis leads Patterson by 20
votes, having 494 to 408. The re
sult is bo close that it may require
tho oflicial voto to determine.
Ashland voted almost solid for
Cambers and Patterson, but did not
give Mulkey tho expected support.
Medford went strong for Mulkey and
Davis, and gave both Von dor Hellen
and Colvig a good voto. Westerlund
got a big lead in Medford, which
Ashland cut down. Me.irs ran unex
pectedly well.
Tho polls opened at noon and
closed at 7 o'clock, but less than 50
per cent of tho registered voters oaat
their ballots.
PEACHES ARE
LEAVING MARKET
Peaches and watermelons are fast
passing Into tho "has been" class (or
this season. Peaches aro being sold
at a premium in tho markets. Poor

MOCK TELLS STORY.

close to them, but tho darkness pro
tected mo. Morning found mo in the
foothills between Wagner creek and
Jacksonville. I found a shady placo
in a canyon and took a long nap.
Lato in the day I woko up and first
began to cxporienco tho pangs of
hunger, And I had nothing to oat
until Thursday morning, when I shot
and killed a rabbit. But rabbits aro
not good without salt or n fire, and
Thursday afternoon I decided thutj
I must find a house and get some
thing to cat. Sleeping out on the
damp ground hadjmadc my lungs
pnin me so I began to search for u
settlement. I decided at that timo
to rotum to the T&lley and give my
self up.
Says Wife b Good Woman.
"About 3 o'clock in tho afternoon
I found a house, which proved to bo
that of Mr. and Mrs. Trask, on what
I now. know to be Little Applegate.
I walked boldly ap to the house and
told them I wa3 a hunter that had
boon lost. I said I was a poor man,
but if they would give me something
to oat I would help Mr. Trask in
building tho addition to his house he
is erecting. Then it was that I sat
isfied my terrible hunger.
"That night I purposely left my
gun downstairs, as I thought it
would avert any suspicion which
might possibly arise. But ns I have
learned since, it did no good. I was
not, however, greatly surprised when
I heard tho command to throw up
my hands when I walked downstairs
the next morning. In fact, I was
glad .that the terrible uncortninty
was over. I submitted quietly and
will face my trial. I have not long
for this world, anyway, and perhaps
it will bo bolter to go a little sooner
than I had expected. I am suffer
ing from tuberculosis.
"Tho murder was not premeditat
ed. I have a quick temper and I had
been drinkintr that afternoon. Be
tween tho two I committed murder.
ButI do not feel like I hnvo always
imagined n murderer would feel. I
have not been as yet confronted by
tho fnco of Smith in my droamH,
though I hnvo occasionally' heard
that terrible gurglo ho emitted ns I
was leaving on tho night of the
crime.
Stopped at IIohsc.
"My wife is a good womnn. She
has always been truo to me. There
wns no chance for intimacy between
hor and Smith. I hnvo always loved
hor and havo tried to be pood to her.
Any ono who says that she is a bad
woman is a liar. I hnvo lived with,
her for two ynars and I hnvo never
onco questioned her actions. She
has been a good wife to mo nnd my
great regret now is tho fact that T
havo dragged her into this trouble.
For myself I do not enro much, but
I do regret dragging hor into this
case. But tho man who says she is
not a decent woman is eithor a man
who is wilfully lying or is listening
to honrsny. Sho was always at homo
