SIX MONTHS IN COUNTY JAIL
Senator Mitchell Sentenced to lmpris
on ment and Fine Of $1,000.

Portland, ore, July 25.-United
prostituting his office of United States
senator to further the law practice of
Mitchell & Tanner, of this city. was
today sentenced to a fine of 1000 and
six months penal servitude,
Pending a review of the case by the
supreme court of the United States, ex-
ecution of the sentence will be defer
red. In the meantime Mitchell will
be placed under bail to the amount of
$1,000.
In pronouncing sentence upon the
aged senator Judge Denaven said:
The statute under which the in
dictment was found provides that the
offense shall be punished by ,mprison-
ment of not more than two years or
by a fine OF not more than $4,000. 1t
also renders the defendant incapable
of again holding any office OF trust
or profit in the United States. AS /
construe the language of the statute
the punishment must be both fine and
Imprisonment, but the court is given
great latitude in fixing the amount OF
fine or imprisonment The court may
make the punishment merely nominal.
In pronouncing judgment it is not my
purpose to comment upon the evidence
or the verdict of the Jury. In reach
ing a conclusion in this case I have
given consideration to the age of the
defendant, which may be taken into
account in mitigation of punishment.
and the further fact that he is forever
hereafter disqualified from holding Of
flee.
Judgment Of the Court.
I'm view Of these facts and in con-
sideration of the nature of the offense,
the judgment OF the court is that the
defendant be imprisoned for six
months in the county Jail of Multno-
NAH county, in this state. and that he
be fined in the sum of $1,000"
During the pronouncing of judgment
Senator Mitchell watched the face of
the judge with intense interest. His
face was flushed and troubled. John
II. Mitchell. jr., the son who has been
IN close attendance upon MS dSeu la
ther, sat by his side, and when Judge
Dehaven uttered the words about i'm
prisonment and the age of the con-
victed man, his frame shook with emo
ton and tears came into his eyes.
The senator said not word. nor did
he move a muscle save by the invol-
untary emotion due to his pentup feel
ings. When the words county Jail Of
Multnomah county. in this state" fell
upon his ears he sat as one transfixed.
Then. when it was all over and the
crowde started for the door, the aged
defendant arose and painfully made
his way out Of the scene Of Judgment
and into the outer world that now has
turned against him.

Paul Jones and Tom Paine.

The removal of Paul Jones body

inquire. In the sacred name of con-
sistency, why wo do not pay similar
respect to the remains of Tom Paine,
Whose services in the American indie

to carry our reference to the pitch
of quotation.
New Rochelle--by how many will it be
remembered when the last century
was but nine years old. and just ten
years later the body was exhumed and
taken to England by William Corbett.
Corbett hoped by that spectacular
means to increase enthusiasm in Eng
land for republican ideas. for of these
Paine was still the favorite exemplar
at the time. i'm print at least. But the
plan failed. Till Corbett"s death the
remains rested in Liverpool. and then
were seized as part Of the property
OF his son. who had been forced into
bankruptcy. Their present abiding
place is not known. ''Would 1t not be

REPRODUCE CUSTER MASSACRE
UmatiIIa Indians Will Take Part and
State and Regular Troops
Will the Part Of Gus
ter's Band.

Portland. July 27.-The Custer mas
sacre, which marks the greatest Indian
outrage of recent times. will be re-
produced with wonderful fidelity to
detail at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton on Thursday August TO- when
Umatilla Indians and soldiers of the
Oregon National Guard and the Tenth
United States Infantry will take part
The massacre promises to prove the
most interesting and instructive of the
big free outdoor attractions which have
been provided by the exposition man
agement for the patrons of the west
ern worlds fair.
1t was % years ago. on June 25. 1875,
that Custer and his troopers rode into
the death trap on the Little Big Horn
river. Shortly after crossing the river,
hundreds OF Sioux attacked the little
ing last stand in a hand to hand con-
test In which every trooper was killed.
The only survivor of the dreadful mas
sacre was a trumpeter whom Custer
had sent. early in the fray. to Major
Reno. for reinforcements.
The reproduction Of the massacre
at the Lewis and Clark exposition will
have for it's location plot of ground
on the Government peninsula in Guilds
lake. near the river entrance to the
fair. The lay of the ground at this
place Is similar to the geography of the
Little Big Horn. and this circumstance
will add much to the interest of the
bloodless massacre. Indians from the
Umatilla reservation, CARRIED in the
war clothes of the plains, will form
the attacking party, and the attack
will be maintained by them until the
last OF the soldiers representing Gus
ter's band have fallen.
or hardly less interest than the re-
/ production of the Custer massacre will
be the great naval sham battle on
Guilds lake at the exposition. Wednes-
day, August 9. On this occasion. as
in the case Of the massacre, the nat
ural advantages which the exposition
possesses on account of its setting viii
contribute materially to the success
of the project.
Just west OF the exposition graunds,
the foothills OF the Cascade range
reach down to the shore Of Guilds lake.
and here will be fort. with real-look-
ing guns splitting harmless but deadly
! looking fire. The attacking feet of
! miniature vessels will make an as-
sault upon the fort on the hillside and
an ironclad in the harbor near 1t. From

Guilds lake. spectators may see the
ironclad disabled by the tracking fleet

to the excitement and several torpedo
boats will blow pa floating craft
One of the men Of war presently will
be disabled and ere wof Uncle Sans

The Auto-Age.

This is the age of the auto-thing Any
machine that goes by means of a motor is
an auto-thing. Be It a street locomotive
or boat or bicycle, the presence on 1t
of miniature engine suffices to put 1t In
the auto class. In the beginning of the
auto craze the word was applied to the
device known clumsily at first as the horse
less carriage. That meant that the We
hicle was being propelled by novel meth
cd, the power being self-deveIoped. But
so is a locomotive self-propeiled. 1t might
as well have been styled an automobile.
But when the steam engine was put on
wheels 1t was such novelty that 1t de-
rived its name from the extraordinary
spectacle of a machine moving itself from
place to place, which is the literal signifl-
canoe of the title that has come down the
years without change. They did not have
the auto habit in Stevenson's days.
Now the habit has become so firmly fixed
that the prefix is tackled to nearly every
thing that goes of its own power. We
hear of auto-boats. as though every steam
boat were not such. every launch, every
sailboat, indeed.
The English have a far better name for
the automobile, calling 1t the motor car
They regard the man at the controller as
the motorlst, not the chauffeur, which in
the original French means a fireman. a
stoker. They speak of motoring, not au-

Effect on the War.

The opinion seems generally to prevail
that the japanese naval victory will have
a decided effect upon the whole of the war
program. There is unquestonably an ex-
pectation in official as well as unofficial
circles that Russia will be forced to sue for
peace If, as now seems assured, Rojest
venskys fleet has been smashed and the
Russian naval power in the far east has
been eliminated.
In point of fact, save for the land ad-
vances scored meanwhile, the elimination
of the Russian navy in the east leaves the
situation practically where it was few
months ago. when the Port Arthur naval
force was bottled up beyond hope of emer-
gence. The Japanese will be in future no
more free of the waters of the coast of
Asia than they have been for nearly
year. But they will be relieved from all
possible menace of naval attack from Rus
STA. There can be no repetition of the ILL
fated enterprise headed by Rojestvensky.
If Japan succeeds in securing the eastern
seas and destroying the last remnant of the
Russian naval power, the case reverts to
the situation on land, where, to date, the
Japanese successes have been unbroken,
and where there is reason to anticipate fur
Their conqueSts. Japan will be strongly re-
nforced on land by the release of her
warships from the responsibility of fighting
a formidable force at sea. In point of men,
money and materials she will be strength
ened in Manchuria She can proceed to in
vest Vladivostok from both sea and land.
She can concentrate her main efforts upon
the continued pushing back of the Russian
land line.
But there will be a greater measure of
advantage from the sea victory due to the
moral effect of Togo's triumph. This smash
ing demonstration of Japan's superior
prowess will react greatly to Russia's dis
advantage at every capital of Europe. 1t
will boom the Japanese securities at the
expense of those of Russia, making it more
difficult than ever for Russia to secure adj
ditional loans, and correspondingly easier
for Japan to replenish the war chest. It
will sap the hopeful courage of the
Russians. 1t will foster the spirit of revolt
in the Russian centers of unrest 1t will
dishearten the land forces of the car while
1t encourages those of the mkado. And
finally, 1t may result speedily in con-
certed movement on the part of the nom
combatant powers to persuade Russia to
sue for peace.

Wins the Kaiser's CUP.

During the past few days there has been
every indication that the German yacht
Hamburg was well in the lead in the race
for the kaiser's cup. Almost all the incom-
ing big passenger ships had reported her
as in the van. with the Atlantic well be-
hind. Furthermore, according to the re-
ports, there was no probability that the
racers could finish for another week To-
day, like fash in a clear sky. comes the
news from London that the Atlantic wins
the race, with no competitors in sight.
The announcement is the more welcome
for the reason that 1t dispels the feeling of
despair that had settled upon the yachts
men in the country. Just how the mistake
as to the Atlantic's position in the race oc-
CURED remains TO be disclosed. 1t is, how
ever. probable that the successive reports
from the great ferry boats were based upon
a mistake of identity. Some other schooner
of a rig similar to that of the Atlantic was
enormously set down as the crack Ameri-
can competitor.
The Atlantic's time across is phenomenal
For a schooner yacht to make the voyage
in twelve days of sailing is unprecedented

Japan and the Philippines.

From the Providence Journal.
If further evidence were needed that
Japan is not casting a covetous eye In the
direction of the Philippines 1t might be
found in the remarks made in Boston We'd
nesday evening by Eki Hioki first secretary
of the Japanese legation in Washington. He
said: Il assure you no serious minded per-
son in Japan entertains any such thought.
Instead of coveting the possessions
of the United States in the Pacific, Japan
welcomes the United States as a neighbor
as tending still further to increase the
bonds of friendship that exist between the
two countries Every bit of testimony
that we have recently had has been to the
same effect. Japan cherishes no designs
upon the Philippines and is glad to have SO
friendly nation as we are established in
the far east. Her aims, like ours, are COM
mercial, and she asks only to be let alone
to work out her orderly national develop
ment. If 1t had not been for the menace
to her very existence which was embodied
in the approach of Russia, she would not
have gone to war with the government Of
the cZar.
