Murderer Fires and
BringsDown Two
Of the Posse
Frank Smith, Slayer of
anOregon Policeman,
Makes Getaway
Due! TO the Death Fought Near
Woodburn at Midnight, and Des-
perado Has Good Chance
to Escape
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, April 27.-A special
to the Oregonian from WooGburn, Ore.
says that Frank Smith, the alleged
murderer of Policeman Hanlon of Ore
gon City, was attacked by the posse
which had surrounded him in a clump
of brush near that place shortly after
1 o'clock this morning.
Smith fired upon his pursuers, shoot
ing Sheriff Shaver of Claickamas county
through the stomach and also wound
ing Capt. Anderson, member of the
posse
In the darkness Smith escaped, slip
ping through the Gordon which had
been thrown around him and which it
was believed was sure to effect his
capture.
Ordered Posse to Rush In
Plans had been laid to capture him at
daylight but at / o'clock Sheriff Shaver
ordered the posse to rush Smith.
Not shot was fired until thty were
close upon the man, lying hidden in the
deep brush.
Then a volley was fired by the posse
and evidently taking aim at Shaver
from the flash of his Gun Smith began
to shoot
His bullets went true to the mark
and Shaver fell almost at the first
shot, to be followed moment later by
Anderson
The failure to get Smith when his
capture was practically certain gives
Smith more than an even chance of
eluding his pursuers.
Smith Desperate Man
Smith is desperate man, according
to the Portland police.
He made a dare devil escape from the
city Jail Monday by climbing hand over
hand along telephone wire to the fire
escape on building about fifty feet
away.
Wednesday morning, after Hanlon
was murdered hat which the police
identified as Smiths was found close to
the scene of the crime.
Since then he has led a posse chase
similar to the famous Tracy and Mer-
ril pursuit.
The police located him about dark
last night in the bushes where the
shooting occurred.

HERE'S RICHNESS.
Vote for Cunningham toda!

One of the amusing announcements in politics is the report that Hearst has bought five automobiles in which he paign for the New York Governorship, warning the people against the dangers Of predatory wealth."
 There's richness. We do not under stand that Willie proposes to ride ail these autos himself though he under takes so many ridiculous things that even this would be no surprise. We judge that he will be able to find five men who will measure up to his stand ard, and will appoint and commission them as evangelists to propagate his brand of, political faith. With five chug-wagons sky-rootlng about the Empire State. dashing through towns and villages, running over pigs and children and soaring the rural popula- ton into fits, we imagine there will be decided sensation. Whether 1t will be profitable is another thing.
 But the idea of Heart warning the people against the dangers of preda- tory wealth" Is the funniest thing or the program. If there is one man in this broad land who is fully impressed with the idea that money is supreme. that man Is William Randolph Hearst. If there is a man who believes that money will buy anything he wants. Hearst is that man. and if there is man who is thoroughly dominated by the idea that his money will open the way to any position he wants. that man is still Hearst. He Is d great joker without knowing 1t. Still. his plan of a gasoline campaign is good one. Gas and money are his principal assets.

Uniform Divorce Laws.

ClGVeianu A<cdOtI-
 Al last something Is being done to mend the ioag-stand!ng evil of lax and conflicting divorce laws. Ministers have thundered at it from their pull pits, judges have deplored the neces- sity of abiding by the statutes. and ed itors have presented the subject to tho public from all points of view. But it remained for President Roosevelt to act At his instigation, the Census Bureau is about to gather divorce sta tistics of the entire country for the last twenty years. It Is estimated that during this period 100000 divorces were granted. The number of children affected is thought to be between 400,- 900 and 500.Oo0. This feature. of the inquiry will be gone Into carefully. The report of the Bureau will be exhaust i've. all the facts which can possibly have any bearing in a consideration of the general subject of divorce be- ing given, The report, when complet- ed. will be sent to Congress by the President. with message showing the necessity for uniform, wholesome di- vorce laws In all the States. At pres- ent, some of the States refuse to re- cognize divorces granted in other States. Under existing conditions, eth CT decisions may be expected similar to that of the Supreme Court in the Haddock case, last April whereby thousands of persons were humiliated and put to much inconvenience.

arpUsLrcANs IN NEW YORK.

It has been but ten or twelve days since The New York Mail was figura- lively tossing up its hat and indulgins in spasmodics of joyfulness over the fact, as 1t then saw it, that all differ ences in the Republican Party of New York had been healed and the party was ready to march in solid phalanx to glorious victory Last Thursday. UT der the heading. 'Eeeded-A candi- date," it had an editorial of which this is part:

 This is quite, different from the cock sure position of The Mail and other Republican organs little time back. The truth is that their Party is about as far from harmony as the Democrats are, and there is probably less hope Of harmonizing the discordant and war ring elements. Platt and odell and Higgins and various other wouid-oe bosses are like pack of wolves snarl- ing, over rich prey. and none of them wants to see another walk eff with the prize. To be Governor of New York is a big thing, but to be the acknowl- edged boss of the party in that great State is really worth more than to be Governor. If there was ever time in that State when Democrats ought to work together it is now, but there seems little prospect of that at this writing. If the real Democrats divide and the dRepublieans do the same. the result might be Hearst for Governor. Then how would the warning factions of both Parties feel?

Misleading and Insulting.
Samson Ledger.

samson Ledger.
 A friend of The Ledger received some literature from the Farmers. Merchants and Laborers' Association of Alabama" a few days ago and he sent 1t to the editor with "comph- ments."
 The literature Is interesting because of the misleading statements 1t con tains. The name of the Association IS an insult to the farmers of Alabama. The first s nams Frsns Whte on she and the only time that attorney ever felt an interest in the farmers was when he was seeking their support Tor political purposes. The same Is true as regards most of the members of the Association. Lawyers, bankers, man ufaeturers, etc, compose the Associa- tion and the name is only a trap for the unsuspecting voter.
 The circular in question contains an address by Hon. Frank s. White, and in speaking of the supporters of pr. Cunningham he uses this languagea: roads, their henchmen and some news papers owner O. subsidized by the railroads. Mir. White knew when he malicious falsehood. More. oi the rail road officials have dsS4ared for Conner than for Dr. Cunningham, and ne only help received by the Cunningham from B. B. Conner for publishing broken promises and misstatement ot facts for him. The circular also quotes extracts from a speech by Corcer wherein he says, Tt Is high priced la bor that builds up country" Conner talking and Comer acting shows quite a contrast. If he really believes the above statement and IS seeking to set the example. He has long occu- pied position whereby he could ac- complish something in that direction. Instead of following his teaching he prefers working children at a mere plttance. The circular will make no votes in this section.

mIsLEAprNG rHE rEorLE.

Mir R. B. Conner. candidate for Gov ernor has made another mistake. In one of his impassioned utterances to catch the vote of the country people recently. He referred to the taxes re- ceived from the sale of fertilizers in Alabama, which are devoted to the ag- rseultural schools of the State He Is reported to have said that the farmers pay annually S3o0,o0o on account of the fertilizer tax. He wants the tax repealed, although the money is appro- priated to the State schools. As usual. Mir Conner is just a trihe more than two-thirds wrong. In the first place. the farmer does not pay cent on fer tilizezr tax. unless he pays it on in- creased price of the commodity to the manufacturer, which the latter denies. The manufacturer pays the tax. Tags are issued by the State Department of Agriculture. and are sold to the man ufacturer. who is required by law to have one tag affixed to every bag of Fertilizer weighing 200 pounds or less, which he sends out for sale. For this tag. he pays three cents apiece, no more. no less. At this rate, he pays thirty cents for every ton of the coIn- modity he sells. Thus far during the present fiscal year, (which closes, it must be remembered. on October D, there have been sold in the State of Alabama s15,OO0 tons of fertilizer. At thirty cents ton, this makes the total amount received by the State from the fertilizer tax, ss4.50o, less than one third of the amount which Mir. Conner says the farmer pays. At this season Of the year, there is almost no ferti- Iizer whatever sold, so that the tax paid from now until October 1 will be prac- tically nothing, It Is a fact worthy of note, moreover, that the present year has recorded the greatest amount of fertilizer ever sold in the history of Alabama, so that $94.500 is the largest tax ever received from the sale of the product. Thus. MT. Conner is shown to be again dealing in transformation. But that is nothing for MT. Conner
