District Attorney Gnns, nfter ho had a
conferonco with Assistant District At
torney Krotel, who is In chargo of tho
concern.
Mr. Krotol first camo into tho case
when ho was assigned to prosecute
Oharlcs If. Ahlo, who was arrested on
complaint of Edwin M. Post, who
charged that Ahlo attempted to black?
mail hint. Post declared that Ahlo at
tempted to compel him to subscribo
$5000 for a book on Now York society.
Ho alleges that Ahlo told him that a
scandalous story Involving his name
was in possession of a Now York
weekly papor, but that it would not
bo published if Post would subscribo
for tho book. Tho mduey was paid to
Ahlo in tho presence of detectives
and his arrest followed. His case Is
now awaiting tho action of tho grand
jury, nnd Mr. Krotel has announced
that several persons prominont in so
ciety havo announced their willingness
to join with, Mr. Post in tho prosecu
tion. Tholr 'willingness to appear is
conditional, howovor, on tho district
attorney promising that no questions
shall bo asked them concerning stories
which they allege Ahlo mentioned
when ho solicited their subscriptions.

A Notable Number.
Month nftor month for six yoors the
Pacific Monthly has been forging
steadily forward. So excellont have
been somo of tho Issues that only tho
most superlative adjectives could do
justice to the excellence of tho pross
work nnd tho high character of the
magdzlne. It Is only fair to say, how
evor, that in tho July number tho
mngnzlno has reached a piano which
might well bo envied by any twenty
fivo or thirty-five-cent .magazine in the
country. It Is ono of the wonders of
raodorn progress that such an oxcollont
magazine ns regards coler work, high
grade illustrations and the general
oharaeter of the reading matter can
bo gotten up and sold for lOe. As a
matter of faet, the ppor alone in
this splendid July number Is worth
from fifteen to twenty cents in each
copy of the magazine. The papor used
for a large part of this number is
probably the heaviest which has yet
appeared in any ten-cent magazine,
and Its quality is the finest. From ev
ery standpoint, the publishers have
far surpassed all their previous at.
! tempts and have plaeod the magazine
where it is not only a ereuu 10 iue
coast and the entire west, but -will not
suffer by compariBon with any maga
zine published anywhere.

Football Team of Coming
Season to Meet the

Manager Mark II. Savage, of tho
Wlllamctto University football team,
has announced thnt ho has scheduled

for tho first timo in its history the old
schvol will sond n team to California
to see what they can do with tho hith
orto undisputed champions of the Pa.
cific coast. This is counted n great
honor by Oregon nnd Washington
tennis, and Willamette was successful
in getting these dates through the ex
cellent record mado by tho team last
year. Stanford will bo met September
30, nnd California ono week later. Thcso
dates aro very early for an Oregon
team, but they wero tho best that
could be had, so tho management will
try to moke tho best of it, and will
make n strong effort to have all tho
candidates for positions on tho team
hero and ready for prnctlco by Sep
tember 15.
That tho local university will havo
a strong aggregation of players thoro
can be no doubt, slnco all but ono of
last year's men will bo back and In
nddltion thcro will bo a number of
now men who havo mado cnvinblo

states.
The schedulo of games which has
been arranged so fnr will bo the bost

with the University of Oregon nnd

Ethics In High Financo. -
Tho investigations nnd oxposuros of(
tho last few yoars hnvo enabled tho
public to tako a moasure of the eth
ics of high finance. In 1890 it was
assumed by tho "sound money" ad
voeutos that a great flnancior was tho
very embodiment of patriotism, houor
and business integrity, but this idol
has been widely shattered. First camo
tho shipbuilding trust investigation.
That showed thnt a number of money
magnatos formod n conspiracy to de
colvo tho public and that 11 few of the
conspirators formed an inner circle con
spiracy to tako advantngo of the rest
of tho conspirators. Thon onmo the
Munroo & Munroo investigation. That
showed that tho second vlco prosldont
of tho largest bank in tho United
Stntes was in a syndlonto formed to
lloeco tho public through "wash
sales." Then Lawson camo forward
with his story Implicating tho presl.
dont of tho lorgost hank and leading
spirit of tho Standard Oil trust in a
gigantic fraud. Following this tho
Equitable squabblo brings to light a
riot of criminal misuso of trust funds
which has startled tho country. And
during this porlod of investigation Miss
Tarbell has given us a history of tho
lawlessness of tho oil trust, Mr, Bus
soil bns shown up tho methods of the
beef trust, nnd tho interstate commerce
commission has rovealed tho robate
praotioea of the railroads. Hero we
have bankers, railroad magnatos, pro
moters, manufacturers and speculators
all violng with oaoh other in tho use
of methods whleh ofroud against both
statute and moral law. What shall
wo say of the business ethles of theso
men who are actually engaged in ex
ploitation or who lend their names to
exploiters and draw salaries for doing
notbingf When ono is condemned his
defenso is that "others do the same"
a defense offerod by tho president
for not punishing one of his cabinet.
Larceny is a comprehensive term and
it applies as much to tho respectable
thief who steals a largo amount by In
direction as it does tp a professional
pickpocket who pilfers on a small
scale.
Of all the rascality recently exposed
nothing surpasses tho consqioncclcss
transactions of those who Were in
chnrgc of tho Equitable. Scarcely a
day passes but some new form of em
bezzlement is announced. Ono day wo
learn that a coterie of directors mado
thousands of dollars by" selling bonds
to tho compnny sold to themselves.
This was in' violation of tho law, and
they are now returning tho monoy. Tho
next dny wo learn of pensions nnd sal
aries that represented no service. Thon
wo find thnt tho officials rolsod their
own salaries to enormous figures and
taxed their personal expenses to tho
company. What Is this but larceny!
And now Mr. Morton nnnounccs n re
form, and what is It f That directors
will no longer be paid $25 per day
when thoy do not attend. It seems
that the dummy directors who did
nothing when present but npprovo of
reports which they did not exnmlno,
wero drawing s)25 n day whether pres
ent or not. What shall wo say of n
lot of eminent business men who thus
enriched themselves out of trust funds
supposed to bo hold sacred for widows
and children. "
The thimblcrlggors nt n street fair
arc engaged In more honornblo busi
ness, for they cheat thoso who nro
foolish enough to risk their monoy on
n game known to bo dishonest, but
these thimblcrlggcrs of high finnnco
rub the helpless nnd tho dependents
under tho gulso of doing an honest bus
iness. Tho directors who know what
was going on shared in tho crimes
committed against policy holders tho
directors who did not know what was
going on wero scnrcely less criminal
becnuso they woro sleeping sontlnols
whoso watchful oyes would havo saved
tho policy holders.
It is timo to establish n higher eth
ical standard among our flannnciors.

Golden Drift Dam Proves too
Much for the Big Fellows
Thousands Die
A dispatch to the Oregonlnn from
Grants Pass under date of July 10,
says:
That thero'sBomothing radically wrong
with tho fish ladder constructed nt
tho power dam of tho Golden Drift
Mining Company, In nccordanco with
plnns nnd ordors from tho Stnto Fish
Warden, is tho contention of both tho
Golden Drift management nnd tho pco
jlo of this city. Hundreds of Bnlmon
fall to mako tho ascent and ns many
dio in tho nttompt.
As a result, tho Roguo river, is
strewn with dead fish. Their decay
ing bodies poluto tho wator that sev
eral thousand peoplo aro obliged to
drink, as tho water supply for this
city comes from tho Roguo. Standing
on Roguo rlvor bridgo, this city, nt
any timo of day, scores of dead sal
mon can bo seen to float by. All
along tho shores tho dead fish aro
strewn, tho stench from them bolng
nt places almost unbearable. Tho
arrival of summer's heat makes condi
tions far worso and increases tho dan
ger of fever nnd disease as n result
of tho polluted water.
Manager Araont, of tho Golden
Drift Compnny, is vhcld blameless, as
ho says ho has compiled to tho letter
in tho construction of a fishway for
salmon. Tho ladder originally con
structcd wns not consldorod largo
enough by Stnto Fish Wnrdo Van

This last fUhway is largor tlinu tho gov
