CHEESE DID IT ALL
Riot Precipitated in Grand Theater
in Portland by Little
Piece of Cheese.

1t wasn't Dutch ch,ese, Swiss cheese
or even plain American cheese. that
caused the riot Sunday night in the
Grand theatre at Portland wherein
Councilman Morton. was mobbed and
narrowly escaped with his life.
Oh, no! 1t was none OF these brands
of cheese that turned the quiet play
house into mad mass Of men and WON
EN-, fighting to escape from the over
powering and seemingly deadly fumes
of an unknown substance. No, il was
simple a slice of the good OLD genuine
Limburger which reposed in the pocket
of Councilman Morton. dropped there
by the sly hand OF Mayor Wise, as the
party of Astoria city officials, entered
the theatre, TO sit in the baldheaded
row, and enjoy the antics OF the gay
girlies behind the footlights.
Last night the civic bunch returned to
the "City.by -the.Sea," and telephone
franchises, street Improvements, and
the other ostensible objects OF their
visit to the metropolis were forgotten
in the all absorbing question OF who
ate the cheese that Mayor Wise slipped
in Morton's pocket"
During their stay in Portland cheese
was not the only source OF trouble to
this staid and stern body. There were
other things which for lack of space are
kindly omitted.
What was it for instance that brought
the entire Portland police force out to
the depot on the eve OF the Councils
departure from the city? Why did
Mayor Lane cause 100 special police
men TO be sworn in as soon as he heard
of the arrival of Astoria's city fathers
in the metropolis? Why was it!
but all such queries are idle. 1t Is
enough that these extra precautions
were taken by the Portland authorities.
1t is sufficient. The crowd is home
once more; safe and no harm done.
In conversation Mayor Wise mention
ed that the visiting body had spent
some time at the police station. "inyes-
tigating how it was operated" He
also said the body gained a good idea
of the manner of using crushed rocks
on the streets, though he failed to say
whether any of the number had crushed
any of the rock. Among those who were
allowed to return on last nights train
were Councilmen Morton, Linenweber,
Stangland, Logan, and Hansen; Mayor
Wise, Sity Surveyor Tee, and City
Physician Mohn.

When Mr. Fischer rose from the ground

angry and in the intensity of his pas
sion did some cursing. Thercupon

Mr.. Fischer, but he was fortunate

So great Il hue and cry followed the
assault on Mr.. Fischer that it was de

city Immediately and he was hurried
along the river front to spot where

John Blank, the boatman, was hired
previous to the attack, and held the
launch in readiness,
Remington was taken across the
river and went to Kelso, Wash. where
he began drinking, While intoxicated
he boasted of his otfense. Two men who
overheard him left Immediately for
Rainier and informed the authorities of
what they had learned. A warrant was
issued and an officer Immediately took
the "Cockney Kid" into custody.

The ASSERTION IS DENIED

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE Tribune
to-day says:
Emory McClmtock. vice president OF
! the Mutual Life Insurance Company
J who i in charge OF the company's
agents in all parts OF the world, was
a>tonished last night when shown the
| cable message from London saying that
the North British 4 Mercantile Com
pany might take over policies OF
the Mutual Life amounting to &5,-
100000. He said that he was not
prepared to believe that the British
company had agreed to do everything it
was represented as having offered,
When Mr.. McClintock had recovered
from his surprise he said;
THAT is certainly remarkable, but 1t
may not be true, you know. feel con.
fdent that the policy holders will not
enter into any such arrangement in any
great number. A very small proportion
of the policy holders will he deceived
by it. 1t would be the worst thing they
could do. They would get no more
safety and worse results. Any policy
holder who has been in the Mutual Life
for any length Of time would lose the
benefit of all he has paid into tho com
pany. In the first place, although that
cable message makes announcement to
the contrary. the North British and
Mercantile will not accept such policy
holders without medical examination"
That ID. G. Haldeman, former manager
in London for the Mutual. and who il is
announced will join the North British
and Mercantile Company, could take
very much OF the business of the
Mutual to another company, Mr.. Nc.
Clintock said was preposterous He
added that he did not see how any re.
spectacle company would engage in such
an enterprise. A week ago Mr.. McClin.
took had arranged to sail for Europe
on Tuesday of next week in order to
try to straghten out the situation in
England and persuade the French gov
ernment to rescnd some Of the restrc
tions it has placed on American insur-
ance companies doing business there,
He said the news from London would
not hasten his departure
When this news was communicated
to Samuel Untermyer he i. reported to
have hurried dispatches to London ad'
vising the various interests he repre-
sents to try TO persuade the policy
holders not to surrender their policies.
Mr.. Untermyer acted in behalf of the
international Policyholders' Associa
tion.

of Four Persons Imph-
Gated BY Confession.
PORTLAND, May l4.-Full confes'

PORTLAND, May l4.-Full confes'
sion was made by James Remington,
the "Cockney Kid" to Police Detective
l. C. Hartman, OF this city, at st.
Helens yesterday, showing that the re-
cent assault on W. C. Fischer. the editor
of a reform paper at Rainier, was the
result of a conspiracy on the part OF
saloonkeepers at Rainier and Portland.
Warrants were issued at ST. Helens for
the arrest of Pierce, saloonkeeper;
Brugh and Wilson, barkeepers. and a
boatman of Rainier, this morning.
A dispatch from st. Helens, says; A
D. Pierce, owner of the Pierce Cafe and
saloon, and Bartender Wilson, for Lee
& Capell, of the Log Cabin saloon were
arrested at Rainier today by Sheriff
White and brought to ST. Helens.
charged with completely in the assault
on ". C. Fischer. The Circuit Court
meets here tomorrow, and a number OF
criminal bills in connection with the
liquor traffic will be presented to the
grand jury.
Feeling is high against the arrested
men, not only on account of the attack
on Fischer. but because the confession
of the 'Cockney Kid" who brutally beat
him, shows that Rev. Fl. G. Kemp, who
has taken an active part in the crusade
against the immoral element, was also
marked as a victim of the thug and es-
capped death or serious injury only by a
fortunate combination of circumstances.
Detective Hartman "sweated" Rem
ington. endeavoring to obtain confes-
sion two days after he was taken to
St, Helens, and secured from him
promise that he would reveal the whole
plot. Friday night he want to ST
Helens and yesterday morning the as
sailant of Mr.. Fischer said he would
tell all he knew. Sheriff White and
Deputy District Attorney Powell were
summoned by the detective and the
services of a stenographer were secured.
1t required three hours to take down
all the information the authorities de-
sired.
Thug Hired in Portland.
Remington stated in his confession
that he was approached by Pierce in
Portland two days before the attack on
Mr.. Fischer, and told that certain
persons" living at Rainier wanted a
"job done," and that a friend in this
city had recommended him (Reming-
tom as the man for the work. He was
then informed that the work. He was
then informed that the Rev. H. G. Kemp
and Mr.. Fischer had from the pulpit and
through a paper published at Rainier
been making bitter and uncalled-for
attacks on the saloon men of Rainier,
and that they wanted the two clicked
so badly they wouldn't get over it for
month"
Remington said he agreed to "do the
job" and went to Rainier. There he
met and conferred with Pierce, Brough
and Wilson. Brough is bartender at the
Health Office saloon, and Wilson at the
Log Cabin saloon. The next night he
followed Mr. Fischer down to the dock
and assaulted him. Brough and Will

violation of his official oath if he had not paid it.
 The county treasurer Is not afraid to face his accusers and demands a trial before the court at the earliest time possible. The political spleen of the supporters of Frank Ware for
 treasurer, with the assistance of the republican district attorney, is again shown when the district attorney re fuses to serve the indemnity company which is on the bond of the county treasurer in the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. It is shown conclu- sively to all fair-minded citizens, re- gardless of politics, that the sole ob- ject in filing this complaint at this time. and its hurried circulation in every voting precinct in the county, was to injure MT. Gaines in his candi- dacy for renomination.

GAINES MAKES ANSWER ID
 ENEMIES
Replies Conyincingiy to Every Allegation Made in Com plaint of FIanigan, and
 Is Ready to Meet Charges,

J. N. Gaines. treasurer of Cochise county, who Is being attacked by his political enemies through the instru- ment of the district attorneys office In this county, in an effort to defeat him for re-nomination, appeared in court on Tuesday and filed a complete
 answer to the trumped up charges
 made against him and circulated about
 the county upon the eve of the p-imar-
 ies. From the sworn answer uI MT
 Gaines it appears that bigger bundle Of falsehoods could not have been in corporated in one complaint. The an-
 swer denies every allegation in the
 complaint and refers to the records of
 the treasurer's office and the district clerks office to support it.
 There are four charges in this no
 torious complaint against Mir. Gaines.
 First, that he collected s2S.71 taxes for which he never accounted, and did
 ot put upon his cash book. The county treasurer swears in his answer that
 he turned the s2S.71 into the treasury
 Of the county and that it DOES appear upon his cash book.
 Second, the complaint charges that
 Gaines refused to make any attempt to ccllect the taxes of Norton & Stew art for the year 1905, which amounted to s350.70
 The county treasurer swears in his
 answer that he has suit pending
 against Norton & Stewart for the col lection of this tax which suit was filed several months ago.
 Third, the complaint charges Gaines with reducing the assessment of Christine Collins, for the year 1905 from $2000 to s1000 The county treasurer 5wears in his answer that | the assessment of Christine Collins was turned into him by the board of supervisors and assessor at s2000 and said assessment was niaraeu and designated widow" which was notice
 to him that the board had exempted
 5000 and in fact, in every case where i the assessment of a widow does not exceed the sum of $2000 the board of supervisors turns into the treasury the
 amount of the assessment, marked widow" which means that the board i has exempted s1000 as the law re quires.
 Fourth, the complaint charges that Gaines, as treasurer, has paid the Bank of Bisbee and the First National Bank of Tombstone, s215.72, in inter
 est on county warrants, and says it is excess interest because it is calculated 1 from the date of auditing the warrant
 until the same was paid. This it was MT. Gaines duty to do under section 2174 of the revised statutes of Arizona. and he would have been guilty of a

PHELPS---DODCE LINE VEGAS
 ID DENVER
Information Given Out That Extension Will Be Made From Dawson, Giving Con- nectionS to Colorado Center.

It may be said, on the authority of railroad official. who Is in a position 10 give definite information that a through line of railroad will be in oper- ation by the Phelps-Dodge interests, owners of the Fl Paso &, Southwestern system, within eighteen months. be tween Denver and Fl Paso by way of Las Vegas and passing near enough to Albuquerque with such connections as to be of vast benefit to local ship pers, says the Albuquerque Journal.
 This is the line which up 70 the pres ent time has been known definitely on- ly ss short line to connect the Phelps Dodge coal mines at Dawson wItn the main line below Carrizozo, cutting off the long haul over the Rock Island line to Santa Rosa. where the Fl Pasc < Southwestern line begins
 The line from Dawson mines. for which formal surveys were approved some time ago, will connect with the main line below Duran, crossing both the Santa Fe cutoff and the Santa Fe Central railroad and going through Las Vegas.
 It is now learned on good authority which cannot be questioned, that tae line is to be extended from Dawson to connection with Denver, which will mean through freight and passenger service between Denver and Fl PaSo, Las Vegas and Albuquerque. The sur yeys for the extension from Dawson north have been made and approved and it Is stated that the road will be in operation within eighteen months. Contracts for construction are to bc let in the very near future.
 The b ,nefit of this line to Las Vegas will be great, but it will be even great q to Albuquerque.
 The best the new line will do for Las Vegas will be to give that city cheap coal, although it will also mean much for Las Vegas wholesalers. But for Albuuerque, connecting as it does with the Santa Fe cutoff, eastern and northeastern New Mexico. it means benefit to shippers hardly 10 be measured.
 With the Santa Fe cutoff in opera ton, every railroad built across cen ltral and eastern New Mexico is bound to prove a boon to Albuquerque and this line will be no exception.
