Washington, D. c., June 1.-Justice
John NJ Harland of the United States
supreme court observed his list birth
day today. Though eligible year ago
for retirement from the bench on full
pay, there is not the slightest pros
pect that he will avail himself of the
privilege for some years to come, as
he is hale and hearty and has the
vigor of many healthy men half his
age. The justice has served nearly
thirty years on the supreme bench
and is the senior of the court.

imagines that the political horizon has
brightened, and that possibly some
Democrats and heretofore Republicans
of Champoeg precinct viii now vote
for him In fact, the judge has un
thoughtedly admitted his motive in
making the Champoeg road appropria
tion. In his printed interview in the
Capital Journal, he said that the
voters of that precinct would doubt
less "show their appreciation of the
matter by their votes on the 9Th day
of June" This is the whole story.
The Judge was after votes. Unfortu-
nately these Mlssourians were pres
ent on the same day, and they know
about the hills, bridge, big timber and
grave-yards (some of them political.)
"If they had just stayed away that
day, would have turned trump

tlon is not steep; people daily ride BIZ
cylces up it, and an ordinary team can
pull 1000 pounds to the top Of the hill
in it's present condition. Besides, all
the heavy teaming is down the hill
to the landing. This hill has been
once cut down and graveled, and few
more repairs would put it in much
better condition than the majority of
hill-roads throughout the country. The
land at the bottom Of the mill is not
swamp, either. The judges statement
that the Champoeg road district had
no expensive bridges is not true. The
stream of water that runs the Cham
poeg Touring mills is more than half
as large as the Pudding river, and the
bridges across 1t are quite as numer-

a Mlssourlan Heard Erom.

Ed Editor: At the opening of the
campaign at Turner, a few days ago,
Judge Scott gave his pretended rea-
sons for refusing to allow Mr.. Heron
to use the county road roller on the
new road being constructed between
Salem and the reform school by con-
vict labor. Scott complained that
Herren had accused the judge of with
holding the county's road roller for po-
lltical reasons, and said this was not
true and that the roller was in con-
stant use on the Liberty road, and
that 1t was impossible to grant all of
the requests for It, The facts are,
Scott has been, and is now making
this claim as mere excuse. II is i'm
possible TO understand what Scott
means by means of constant use" He
is not crushing rock with the road
roller. and, as 1t will roll a strip of
road eight feet wide and 20 to 80
miles long in one day, and would,
therefore, roll half the road in Ma
rion county In two months time,
Judge Scott has claimed to have the
roller In constant use on the Liberty
road, the question is. what is he do
ing with the roller to keep 1t in "con-
stant use?"
At the same meeting the Judge Eek
planned the Champoeg matter He
said he gave the people In that road
district, out OF the treasury, 100 per
cent of the amount they had agreed
to donate, for the reason that the
county would be compelled to repair
the piece of bad road in their district,
whether the people donated or not. So
he gave them dollar for dollar. When
did this necessity occur Several
Missourians were at Champoeg when
Scott had his conference with the peo-
pie OF that place and know what the
facts are 1t happened on May 2,
1904, and suspiciously near the 9th
day of June. 1904. At that time some
OF the citizens of Champoeg said to
Scott; III you do not 10 something
for our roads here, you viii not get
a vote In. this district on the 9th OF
June" Aand so the judge proceeded
TO do something. He gave them 90
per cent more money out Of the coun-
ty treasury than he has been giving
other districts under similar circum-
stances, When called upon to explain |
this matter Scott first denied II In to-
TO; but when he found he was deal |
ing with those who knew the facts, he
made up his mind that explanation"
would not explain. The Judge then /
pleads the necessity of the dodge. We
can see the necessity in one way, be-
cause those Champoeg fellows intend |
ed to do as they said, unless they got |
some crushed rock road in their vi. |

south east and west upon seeing this |

Concerning Tax Bill.

Mr.. b. l.. Eddy, seems at a great
deal of pains to parade in the news
papers the fact that ne introduced in

porations larger fees for filing their
articles of incorporation. and that 1t

the state This bill adds very little
to the burden of the large corpora.
tlons, 1t is the small ones that it hits
hard especially does it hamper the
development of mining industries.
If Mr.. Eddy was anxious to make
the corporations doing business in tnis
state contribute their just share to
support the public burdens, why did
he so strenuously oppose the Harris
bill, which provided for taxing tele-
phone, telegraph and express com
panies, which collect immense in
comes from the people and pay scar
Icely any taxes Also to justly tax
railroad corporations. This Harris
bill would have yielded vastly more
revenue than the bill so largely pa.
raded by Mr.. Eddy. Whenever the
big corporations needed champion

their attorney, but he promptly ap-
peared for them whenever they need

called the Car BILL" which was a

view to increasing the number of naval
officers available for engineering duty.
OF the turbine experiments he says:
with the prospect of turbine engines
in naval vessels in the near future, the
bureau is confronted with the problem
of designing screw propellers of a suit
able form.to run at much higher speed
than have been used heretofore. The
first requirement of the case is mass
of accurate data. which can be OBJ
tanned only by testing propeilers in a
suitable tank designed for the purpose,
where the speed can be perfectly con-
trolled and the action closely watched. "
He further says it is the bureaus de-
sire to start as soon as possible tests

New York Motorists Gets
Taste of New Tactics

NEW YORK, Oct. 31-Automobilists
who. violate the speed statutes have
discovered a sure means for escaping
the minions of the law who pursue
them. Ammonia thrown by some sort
of syringe is the safeguard. At least
it's use has been demonstrated success
fully in a thrilling chase by a Fifth

Gle.
The officer has arrested scores of au-
tomobilists and has become somewhat
of a terror to those who exceed the
speed limit. AS he was pedaling up
Fifth avenue watching the endless
stream of carriages and motor cars a
big touring machine dashed past bear
ing two men and two women. He called
upon the chauffeur to slow down, but a
derisive laugh was the only answer,
and the policeman took after the party.
He did his best from Eighteenth to
Fortieth street, and had just reached
the back of the machine when a puff Of
vapor shot into his face and he tum-
bled headlong from his wheel. The au-
tomobile party had disappeared when
the officer regained his breath, and he
trundled his broken bicycle back to the

TWO REPUBLICS
In PEACE PACT
France and United States
Soon to Negotiate a
Treaty Of Arbitration

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.-France and
the United States expect to begin the
negotiation Of an arbitration treaty in
Washington soon after the Presidential
election. The treaty will be known az
the -Jusserand treaty, and. accord
ing to the present programme. will fol-
low closely the lines Of the British
French arbitration treaty
Some time ago the French Govern
ment. through its ambassador in
Washington, informed Secretary Hay
that France was ready and willing to
conclude such a convention whenever
it was the pleasure Of the United
States In view of the fact that the
elections were coming on the Washing
ton Government expressed it's thanks
for this renewed evidence Of friendship
on the part Of the French republic
and intimated a desire to open negotia-
ations this winter.
Widespread interest has been aroused
throughout the diplomatic corps by the
announcement Of Secretary Hay in his
recent New York speech that the Gov
ernment hoped soon to begin the prep
aration of arbitration treaties with all
countries willing to sign them. There
is already evident among European
diplomats a keen desire to take the
lead in this movement
1t is pointed out that while there are
few questions Of Importance pending
between this country and France, the
negotiation Of an arbitration treaty at
a time when the diplomatic horizon is
so clear will insure an early conclusion
of the convention.
1t is believed that Italy will be found
favorable to the negotiation of arbitra-
tion treaties with this country, and
also Great Britain, though in the case
of the latter country it is expected that
the initiative this time must come from
the American Government.

DENIES STORY
OF CORONER
DR.. Gibney Gives Testimony
on the D0lbeer Case at
the Hearing in New York
MISS WARREN UPHELD
Physician Contradicts the
Tale That She Said Her
Friend Had Been Insane

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. = Testimony,
contradicting that given by Coroner
Scholer before Commissioner Robert P.
Lee, in the suit to set aside the will
of Miss Bertha M. Dolbeer, who was
killed by a fall from the ninth floor
of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, was
given to-day by DR.. Homer Gibney.
DR.. Gibney attended Miss Dolbeer inn
mediately after her fall. Later he was
called to attend Miss Warren, the
chief beneficiary under Miss Dolbeer' S
will, who was suffering from nervous
ness and shock.
He testified that from that time until
Miss Warren retired for the night he
was constantly with her, and over
heard every word of the various con-
versations which took place between
her and Coroner Scholer.
DR.. Gibney said Miss Warren was
under such a great mental strain that
he advised her to answer only enough
questions to enable the Coroner to
complete his report. He denied that
Miss Warren had said that Miss Dol
beer had been insane for three years
that she had been under treatment for
mental weakness, or that she was dis
satisfied with social conditions in San
Francisco.
