UNITED PRESS LEASED WIBE.l
Now Haven, Sept. 4. Coroner Mix
today admitted a representative of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
the inquest on the New Haven rail
road wreck, and tho railroad company
sent its books and records, showing
the operation of its trains.
Attorney E. C. Terry, representing
tho Brotherhood of Railway Firemen,
offered to provide bail for Miller, but
the nffMr's ""'f'ised. There is no
charge filed against cither Miller of
Murray. Both are held by order of
Coroner Mix, who denied them the
right to obtain counsel.
- Says Company Lies.
Chicago, Sept. 4. "Absurd, prcpos
torous and untrue," was the way a
leading railroad official hero, whose
name iBwithhold, today characterized
the statement made by the Pullman Car
Company, that it was not supplanting
more wooden cars with steel sleepers
because it cannot build them faster.
"It is ridiculous," said tho railroad
official, "for the company to say that
it cannot get enough steel to manufac
ture cars as rapidly as it desires. I
know positively that the company can
in a short time, ontain sumcieiii mrm
to build more than 4000 ears enough
to replace all wooden Pullman sleep
ers now in operation.
Oreed Real Season.
"The real reasoiys that the Pullman
directors will not let the company
manufacture more steel ears because
they realize that if they substitute the
steel cars, the old-fashioned sleepers
must be thrown into the junk heap at
a flat loss. It Is a matter of dollars
and cents with the Pullman directors,
and they will not increase the output
of steel cars unless they are forced to
so do by tho government.
"It is also untrue thnt the Pullman
company has furnished 2000 steel ears
to the railroads In the last three years.
I am certain that not more than ISOn
steel cars have been built within that
time.
"Western railroad officials are dis
gusted with the action of the Pullman
eomnanr. in furnishing steel ears
largely to the trunk lines in the East
and allowing the western lines to go
without."
The officials also confirmed a state
ment that Pullman contracts provide
that the company cannot be forced to
nrovide steel ears if competing lines In
the same territory use wooden sleep

Standing upon "Portugese soil" in
Germany, Manuel II Maria Phillip
Carlos Amelio Louis Michael Enphael
Gabriel Gonzague Xavier Francois
D 'Assise Eugene, "King" of Portu
gal, made world-famous by Gaby Des
lys, married into the non-ruling but
wealthy branch of the reigning family
of Germany today when Princess Vic
toria of Hohonzollern became his wife
and received the somewhat doubtful
title of "Queen of Portugal." Augusta
Victoria Wilholmina Antoonette Ma
thilde Ludovie Josephine Marie Eliza
beth. She is 23 and Manuel is 24.
Tho roligious ceremony was per
formed in the chapel of the quaint old
Castle of Sigmaringen by Cardinal
Notto, former archbishop patriarch of
Lisbon, and tho civil proceedings by
Count Eulenburg, lord high marshal,
and acting minister of the house of the
kaiser's court. Four royal bridesmaids
followed the princosB to the altar.
About three score princes, princesses,
dukes and counts wore present as
guests, the majority of them, however,
representing non-ruling nobility.
Not Ignored Entirely.
In view of the little fiction that
Manuol has not "recognized" his dethronement,-
and still assumes to be
king of Portugal, tho European mon
archs were somewhat chary about par
ticipating officially for fear of giving
offense to the present republican gov
ernment of Portugal. On the other
hand, there being perhaps one chance
in a hundred that Manuel may again
become a real king, they could not af
ford to ignore him entirely.
Prince Eitel Frleilcrlch, the kaiser's
second son, represented his father; the
Prince of Wales did the honors for his
father, and the Duke of Genoa for the
king of Italy, while King Alfonso of
Spain was represented by the Infante
Don Carlos and his wife, Infante
Louise.
This branch of tho Hohenzollerns
being as strict Catholics as the kais
ers family is Protestant, and Manuel
also being a Catholic, the couple were
united by the Impressive rites of that
church, together with all the roynl cer
emonies of state, as if Manuel were
still a king.
Stands on Native Soil.
That the little fiction of being mar
ried on "Portugese soil" might be
complied with, a box of plain Portu
gese "dirt" shipped from Portugal via
London, was arranged in front of the
altar. The bride and groom stood up
on a rug covering the dirt as they ex
changed vows.
The quaint little town of Sigmarin

Alleged Bad Man
Taken by Police
Youth Who Tells of Standing Off Six
Hen With Siz-Shooter Cries After
His Arrest Here.
Palming himself off or attempting
to, at least, as a bad man with a record
as a detective, and a man who recently
held six men at bay at the point of
one revolver, Paul Lahune, a youth of
tender age, was arrested this morning
by Officer Welch on the charge of
drunk and disorderly. Lahume was
busily engaged in raising a rough house
in the Keith lodging place about 8
o'clock this morning when Officer
Welch appeared on the scene. The
young man was drunk and insisted up
on abusing everybody in sight. He
came to Salem several days ago and
told Officer Welch' that he was a do
tective in the employe of the state
game warden department, and that he
had succeeded in securing evidence
against six men for selling deer hides
in Suthern Oregon this summer. He
told the officer that he "stood a half
dozen men off with but one six-shooter,"
Lahume attempted to start some
thing after Officer Welrh arrived, but
thojatter's big hand fell with a moan
ing plunk on the irate youth's shoulder
and tho brewing row was ended with
surprising suddenness.1 After the of
ficer had " caged "Lahume, the prison
er broke down and cried bitterly, tho
anger of a minute before having evi
dently seeped out very fast. He will
be arraigned before Judge Elgin in the
morning.

Says He Has Been Driven From Town
to Town and Is Nearing End of
His Career.
Half dead with a dread disease
which had eaten his face nearly off, a
Contral American was picked flp on the
streots yestorday by Day Officer
Welch. City Physician Miles was called
and he reported the case to be hope
less. The man was given his choice bo
tweeu going to the asylum or leaving
the city, and after the officer and oth
ers contributed a few dollars to him,
the unfortunate man left the city. Dr.
Miles said the disease, which had all
but killed the man, was a torriblo ono,
and that the follow could not live
much longer. The man's noso was
partly eaten away and one of his eyes
was gone as tho result of the disease
gaining a death grip upon the body.
The man told Officer Wolch that he
has been driven from town to town by
the police, and had not been allowed to
remain but a short time ia any place.

Housewarming of New Com

Notable Addresses.
WORK TO BE EXTENDED
Past Ee viewed in Some Talks, and All
Agree Salem and Valley Will
Keep on Growing Fast.
Wednesday night, September 3,
should be marked with a white stone
by the Salem Commercial club, and for
that matter by every patriotic Salem
ite, for on that date began a new era
of enorgetic boosting for a bigger and
a hotter Salom. The occasion was
planned as a sort of housewarming for
the club iu its new quarters, and A
formal opening of the promotion de
partment of the club.
In spite of the fact that it was about
the nastiest, sloppiest weather we have
had in a year or more, the attendance
was fairly' good, thore being about 100
seated at the board in the beautiful
new room when the word was given to
"fall to. " Soon there was a clattering
of working tools and a chattering of
togues as hosts and guests discussed
an elegant menu, and Salem 's futuro..
Hon. P. H. D'Arcy, as toastmajter,
wus at the head -of the center table
with C, L. Dick, president of tho club,
at his right, and Fred Bynon, the en
ergetic secretary, at his loft.
Outlook Is Bright.
When at last the matches touched the
cigars and loosened tongues, the toast-
master rapped for order and introduced
President Dick of the club, who Bpoke
enthusiastically of tho outlook for
Salein and outlined briofly the work
the club had dono and what it pur
posed doing.
He was followed by State Treasuror
Kay, who spoke of the boosting spirit
and the results ho had observed follow
ing it In his recent trip through East
ern Oregon.
Ex-Mayor Bodgers Willed attention to
the good work the "Chorriaus" were
doing and urged the attendance of all
at tho dance Friday night, the pro
ceeds of which will bo used to defray
tho expense of the baud to Spokane
along with the Chcrrians.
Secretary Bynon Bpoaks.
Recretary Bynon followed with 'a lot
of figures that were interesting, though
not flattering. They showed that only
nbout 15 per cent of tho businoss men
wore supporters of tho club. He spoke
very feelingly of his predocosor, Andy
Hofer, and it was noticeable that many
of the speakers expressed the debt of
the organizutioii to him.
Justice McNary of the supremo court
spoko of the necessity of having a fine
display of tho products of the country
lit the rooms, "for," said he, "most
newcomers are In a sense from Missouri
and want to see for themselves."
Colonel Hofer spoke of tho hard and
good work that hail already been ae
eomplifhed in the way of paving, sew
ers, etc., ami he was followed by II. W.
Meyers, who told of his trip oist and
made some valuable suggestions as to
the work of the club.

Book Company Planned to Clean Up
Between $10,000 and $11,000 by
Evading Its Contract.
The A. M. Palmer company of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, evidently triod to put
the thumb screw on the state when it
accepted contracts for furnishing cer
tain school books for uso in the schools.
It contracted to furnish "Writing Les
sons" for tho primary grudes, one to
three inclusive, at 20 cents each and
at no greater price than it charged
i other states. "
WHon the books were received for
distribution it was discoverod that they
had printed on their backs the state
ment that they were to be sold at 15
cents. Superintendent Churchill at
once got busy and tho company ordored
tho J. K. Oill company of Portland, the
firm's distributing agents, to soli the
books at 11 cents. Superintendent
Churchill became suspicious and as the
company had a contract for furnishing
"Palmer Method of Business Writing''
for use in tho grades from the fourth
to the eighth, inclusive, with an agreed
price of 25 cents, Mr. Churchill wlrod
Klla Flngg Young, superintendent of
Chicago's schools, as to tho price of
this book thoro, and rocolved a roply
that it whs lfl conts. Mr. Churchill im
mediately made a domand on tho com
pany that it give Oregon tho samo price
as Illinois, which under its contract it
must do. No answor had been rncolvod
up to noon. Tho saving will be 6 cents
on tho first book of which 25,000 will
lie used, and I) cents on the other, of
which about 100,00(1 will be required.
It looks like the company was guilty of
a little sharp praetiro, as the differ
ence In price would amount to betwocn
10,000 and $11,000,
Traveling Men Pleased With

Portland, Ore., Sept. 4. C. W.Ifod

United Commercial Travelers of Ameri

sentiment aroused in favor of the uni
versal adoption of all-steel ears on
railroads, as the result of the New
IIvn railroad wreck at Walilngford,
Conn. He said:
"It is indeed welcome new to all
commercial travelers that transporta
tion companies are adopting ran of
steel construction to replace the old
wooden equipment, The question of
safety in travel is a subject discussed
at every session of the Supreme t'nuncil
of the United 'Commercial Travelers.
Committees representing the order,
working independently, and In con
junction with committees from other
organizations, have expended an Im
mense amount of energy in the effort
y hasten the adoption o! modern
equipment by railrosd companle:.
in !cw of the fact that railwaj
managers are presunidl to bo (hi. mosi
astuto of business men it seems
strango that they have not grasped the
full meaning of the installation of now
equipment long before this. Economy
In maintenance and operation, to say
nothing of safety to life and limb
would seem to have been sufficient to
bring about the change much sooner,
The traveling men certainly rejoice
over the good news."

tONITU) PRESS LEASED WISE.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4. F. Drew
Caminetti, son of United States Immi
gration Commissioner Anthony Cami
netti, will be found guilty ou charges
of white slavery for transporting Lola
Norris to Houo for immoral purposes, if
the jury believee the evldonce intro
duced is true.
Judge Van Fleet hlniBolf made the
assertion in donyiug a motion by the
Sefonse to instruct tho jury to acquit.
"Tlioe is "ample eviikuce hcM,
which, if found true by tho jury, is
sufficient to convict nndor this indict
ment," declared Judgo Van Fleet.
Attornoy Marshall B. Woodworth for
Caminetti had pleaded his motion on
the ground that no commercialized vice
was involved. '
Any Act of Imorality.
"I want to say," continued the
judge, "that it is not necessary to show
that it was done for profit. Any act
of Immorality, if accompanied by
transportation from ono atnto to an
other, is sufficient to bring conviction
under this indictment."
Caminetti faced somo 24 hours more
of suspense at the conclusion of to- '
day's session. The arguments were in
progress. Judgo Van Floot announced
that he expoctod to give his Instruc
tions to the jury not lntor than 11
o'clock tomorrow morning, and Cami
netti probably will know his fate be
fore night,
Cllrl 'a Story Not Assailed.
He permitted tho defense to close
without In any way attacking the re
cital of Lola Norris, for whoso down
fall ho has admittod hlmsolt responsi
ble. Qaminottl merely advanced his al
leged fear of drastic steps by Maury
Diggs' father and by Mrs. Maury Diggs
as his motive in leaving Sacramento.
During the twenty mlnutos bo occupied
the stand tho name of Lola Norris was
hardly mentioned. Tho prosecution did
not even subject him to a cross-exam-inntlnn.
"Mothers are best wheu a fellow's
In troublo," he said as he left the
courtroom during the noon recess. They
walked out arm in arm. Heretofore he
has been in the habit of going out

Today ho remained close to his mother.
Tells of Threats Mads.
The most dramatic evidence of the
lay canio when Mrs. Maury I, Diggs,
wife of Caminetti 's convicted compan

whom she hud regarded as "a snake"
and go-between for I'iggs ami Marsha
Warrington, told of serious threats she
hud made against both men.
"Miss Warrington thought she wiis
going to get my husband, but she
didn't," assorted Mrs. Diggs with a do
fiiint tilt of her pretty head as sho
left the stand. Then sho went down
and took a seat besido tho husbauil
whom sho had threatened'' to "shoot
like a dog" If sho ever found him with
Miss Warrington.
