GOVERNOR'S
A SUCCESS
ItOAD HOUSES XEAU l'OUTLAXD
AGREE TO CONDUCT THEIR
HOUSES W1THIX THE LAW,
AND COME TO GOVERNOR'S
TERMS.
Governor Wost announced that If
necessary he would return to Port
land to continuo his military opera
tions ngainBt the roadhouses of Mult
nomah and Clackamas' counties, but
flnce all of tho roadhouse proprie
tors had called at General Flnzer'i
office before noon yesterday and come
to the governor's terms, It appears
that this will not be done.
A. J. Burns, proprietor of the Mil
waukle Tavern, and Rath and San
dys, proprietors of the Cliff Inn,
signed the agreement Monday night
to conduct tholr places In an orderly
manner, this being the only quick
method afforded them of raising tho
military ban that the governor had
placed upon them. F. C. Loveland
of the New Country club; Lelth and
Anderson, of the Claremont; F. Retz
Inger, of the Lakevlew Tavern and
W.S. Swaggert, of the Hut, visited
the general's office yesterday fore
noon and also put their signatures to
the agreement.
"They were all agroed In saying
that they were glad they now had
something definite by which they
could tell Just what tholr privileges
are and what they must avold.'J, said
General Flnzer yeHterday.
Unless the agreements are broken,
no military patrol will be established
at the roadhouses, although the gov
ernor declares that he will keep a
close watch upon them and will de
scend again upon them at the first
indication of a disinclination to abide
by the agreement.
A meeting will be held here by the
governor with brewers of the state
this week to arrange for stopping the
shipment of liquors Into dry terri
tory. The governor has declared
that he will invoke tho militia to put
a stop to this also, unless a more
peaceable arrangement can be af
fected. The total cost of the raid upon tho
rcadhouses Monday has not yet been
fully estimated. Fifty militiamen
and their officers were taken to Mll
vaukle, and 10 privates, two ser
geants, two corporals, a lieutenant
end a captain were stationed there
throughout the day. A squad of pri
vates accompanied the governor's
party In an automobile on the ad
vance along the Llnnton road.
The dally salary of a captaln-ls
$(1.67, of a lieutenant $.r..rG, sergeant
$i.G0. corporal $1.40, and prlvato
$125. In addition to this Is the cost
of transudation and additional ex
penses of litigation.
Not all of tho officers of the Ore
gon National Guard were In sympa
thy with the movement, a large pro
portion of them holding that the ac
tlcn of the governor took the nillltla
out of tho sphere of action for which
It was prperly organized.
Where the Oregon Electric Is bound
for one seems to know. The latest
known of it Is that It will push on
to Roseburg.

UNDERWOOD
PROVES TO
BE DIG fill
WITH A SOLID DELEGATIOX THAT
COULD NOT BE SWERVED FROM
HIM, HE SACRIFICED PERSONAL
AMBITION FOR THE GOOD OF
THE PARTY.
UNITED milSS LBASID WIRl.
Baltimore, Md July 3. A resume
of the situation shows Underwood to
be a really big man. When succes
sive roll calls demonstrated abso'
lutely that state delegation after
state delegation after state delegation
still retained enough Clark men, un
der the unit rule, the Clark men
would jubilate with loud cheering
shouts of applause.
But the Wilson men simply smiled
and kept on fighting. It was politic
al poker of the most scientific varie
ty, and It had Its effect, because the
Instructed delegates were ready to
clamber on the band wagon as soon
as it could be demonstrated just
which of the vehicles remained In the
middle of the road, and so made Im
possible the nomination of Clark,
Each state defection was utilized to
make Wilson votes. Wilson men In
each state delegation reported to the
governor's managers Individual dele
gates who were believed ot be wav
ering, and tho Wilson forces In their
home localities were brought Into
play. They telegraphed demands that
tho delegates get aboard the band
band wagon, and give the peoplo of
the country the candidate they de
manded. There were also thousands
of telegrams of the same tenor that
Albnma, had not risen to tho occa
came absolutely unsolicited. They
had their effect.
' it Is unlikely, however, that Wil
son could have been nominated if
Congressman Oscar Underwood, of
slon, and proved that ho was the
man of the hour. Underwood, although
a minority candidate, had the moHt
loyal delegation of any man In the
race. They openly declared they
would stick to Underwood "until hell
froze over," and every effort to break
their ranks, with the exception of
scattering votes n, the Florida dele
gation, failed.
The Clark men knew, how the Un
derwood delegates felt, They had no
hesitancy 'In admitting that, while
Wilson could get 660 votes, he could
get no more, Theodore Hell, Gover
nor Francis and Senator Stone, the
Clark fluid lenders, showed their
faith, and Insisted that after being
deadlocked for several bonis with
Wilson as the high candidate, the
governor should lie abandoned, and a.
dark horse would win. They reckoned
without Underwood. When the situ
ation was explained to him over the
telephone, he decided he hud no right
to bo a party to a scheme to eliminate
any candidate. And ho forced Senator
Ilankhend, his manager to release
every Underwood delegate from his
pledges. On all sides It was admitted
today that Underwood's magnanimous
act was the greatest factor In the
eleventh hour victory.
The real campaign, It was stated,
will not be oiiened for six weeks.

RESIGNATION ASKED FOR
AND LETTER GOES WITH -IT
DISHING M'VEAGH UP HOT
Assistant Secretary of State on Resigning Pours Out a Tale
of Woe to the PresidentSays MacVeagh is Surly, Unso
ciable and Uncivil to Fellow officers and Subordinates--Neglects
Businses and Roasts Others for Attending to it
Without Him Scandal May Assume Good-Sized Proportions.
ONimD MESS LBtHED Win!.
Washington, July 3. A Piatt An
drew, assistant secretary of the treas
ury, resigned today In a letter con
taining bucIi stinging criticism of Sec
retary MacVeagh that it has started
what may become an administration
scandal,
Andrew wrote both to Taft and
MacVeagh, criticising MacVeagh for
his "Indecfslon and attitude of hos
tility toward minor officials In the
department. In his letter to Taft
Andrew named practically every bu
reau head In the treasury as having
had trouble with MacVeagh.
MacVeagh has gone to Dublin,
Mass., to spend the Fourth. Andrew
would make no comment on his res
ignation, except to make public his
letters. AndrewB was expert mone
tary adviser to the Aldrlch monetary
commission, and practically drew up
the Aldrlch central bank plan.
This statement was Issued at the
White House:
"Mr. Andrew's resignation as as
sistant secretary to the treasury was
requested, submitted and accepted, In
view of his failure to give orders giv
en by the secretary."
In his letter to Tlfft, Andrew said:
For a long time, the transaction of
much of the treasury business has
been at a standstill, and an outbreak
of some sort hns been Imminent. Many
able and energetic treasury officials
have had to bear the brunt of harsh
criticism Jrom people outside who
have suffered interminable delays In
their business In the treasury depart
ment, for which the secretary alone
was resonposlble, and at the same
time they hnve had to submit to crit
icism even more harsh and more un
deserved from Mr. Mac Veugh him
self whenever he discovered that they
bud ventured to act upon some mat
ter of minor Importance without his
decision.
'Time and again heads of the great
divisions of the treasury have found
themselves unable to carry on the
business entrusted to them and have
been discouraged to the verge of re
signing their positions because they
were unable to obtain any opinion or
decision from Mr. Mnc Veagh upon
urgent questions which had been bo
fore them for many months. At the
Bamo time they have Invariably been
reproached by him for such limited
action as they may have been com
pelled to take on their own respon
sibility. "Toward many of the higher treas
ury officials, Mr. Mac Veagh lias
ft om time to time displayed nn aver
sion, suspicion and distrust which, in
view of the fact that tliese officials
were men of his own choice, would
seem Inexplicable In a man of norinul
mlud.
''For ninny months nt a time lie lias
persistently refused to speak to those
officials, with whom he should natur
ally have been III constant personal
communication."
Andrew cited Instances in which he
Bald Mac. Veagh refused to have any
relations with treasury officials, es
pecially, Assistant Secretary Illlles.
Treasurer Mc Clung has bail only one
short Interview with Mao Vengh In
more than a year, and Director Ralph
of tho buienu of engraving has been
similarly treated, ncordlng to Andrew
"In my case," wrote Andrew,
"with an office adjoining and com
municating with that of the secretary
although I have supposedly been the
representative of the secretary and
his dealings with nineteen bureaiiB
and divisions of the treasury, I hnve
not been allowed In the aggregate a
total of more tlinn one hour of con
versation with him, including private
Interview and conferences In the
mm
ID lli! QUITS
presence of others during the entire
past year.1'
Andrew said that his letters to
MocVeagh on department matters
have been unanswered altogether or
not answered for months and that
MacVeagh has criticized him for any
decision, or action taken.
"The conduct of business In a do
patrment under such conditions Is,
of course. Impossible. The majority
ot young men whom MacVeagh was
wise enough to select as heads of
the various divisions, have been ham
pered and discouraged at every turn
by his idloslncracios, his astounding
capacity for procrastination, his in
capacity for decslons and the pecul
ar moods of suspicion and evasion
which he continually shows."
Andrew snld MacVeagh had a con
tinual delusion that his subordinate
officers nre conspiring against him.
"He has treated his employes with
harsh ingratitude and a luck of con
sideration little short of brutality."
On his personal letter to Mac
veagh, Andrew accused the secretary
