Taft Says the Country IL Tired of
Their Influences.

Portland, Ore, Sept. Secretary
of War William H. Taft and his party;
en- route to the Philippines, spent yes
terday in Portland as the guests of
Theodore B. Wilcox, president of the
Oregon Development league. This is
Mr.. Taft's first visit to the Pacific
northwest and his stay in Portland
was made the occasion of several
pleasant attentions to the distinguish
ed statesman and his party including
breakfast at the home of Mr.. Wilcox,
on his arrival here. a sightseeing tour
of the city in automobiles and a trip
to the Vancouver, Washington bar
racks, where Secretary Taft was the
guest of General Greedy.
Returning to Portland, Secretary
Taft was the guest of Mr.. Wilcox at a
luncheon at the Portland hotel. Fifty
of the most prominent people of Ore

cox on this occasion.
Mr.. Taft's address at the luncheon
was brief. He said that he was firm
ly convinced that the time had come
when the country was tired of the
plethora of millionaires, and. of their
influences, and it had been demon
strated and could further be shown
that the business of the nation should
be run on the principle of a square
deal to every one and special privileges
to none. be he rich or poor. That he
said, had been the principle Of the
present administration, and it would
be with Republican administrations to
come. He expressed confidence in the
ability of the people to rise up and
regulate whatever abuses might exist
and said the people had done this be-
fore and would do it again if occasion
offered.
THE government and the people
are in control" he said. they are
deaf to the criticism and machina-
tons of powerful and arrogant COM
binations of capital, and they are
equally deaf to the threats that are so
freely uttered by powerful dema-
gogues.'

Wall Street Banks VIII Get Some of
the Treasury Money.

New York; Sept. Banks, in the
Wall street district were relieved
when they Received word from Wash-
ington that the government was pre-
pared to place with them substantial
deposits of treasury money. For some
time following Secretary Cortelyou's
announcement of his programme of
making weekly deposits commercial
banks in the uptown district have
been receiving government deposits,
but the so called Wall street banks
had heard no word from Washington
regarding their fate.
When the word came that the de-
partment was ready to make deposits
upon the presentation of acceptable
collateral the banks in the financial
districts at once took steps to get the
money.
There are a number of big banks
in the financial district having from
800 to 900 correspondents throughout
the United States and they were be-
ginning to feel the effects of the de-
mand for money from points not COW
cred by the treasury department.
There was some anxiety lest this sit
uation was not exactly understood by
the treasury department..

TO THE LAST DITCH.
The Perkins Family Will Go to High
est Courts to Prevent ELIMINATION.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 7.-Now that
it appears possible that Judge Smith
Mcpherson expects to decide the mo-
ton to exhume the body of L. H
Perkins in favor of the insurance
company people here who have been
following the matter closely are dis
cussing the probable action of the at
torneys for the family and the trus-
tees following such a ruling.
The lawyers have kept their own
council strictly, but it is believed that
they will leave no stone unturned and
spare no expense to keep the body of
Mr.. Perkins in the ground. The most
likely form of undertaking this, in
case Judge Mcpherson rules adversely
to them next Saturday, is considered
to be that of appeal. The matter is
appealable, and may go to the United
States circuit court. the United States
court of appeals or the United States
supreme court. Should the routine of
appeals be begun by the family. likely
it would be kept up until the case
landed in the higest court, if it were
possible TO get it there.
Judge McPherson's indication that
he would brook no unnecessary delay
may result in the appeal going direct
ly to the supreme court, If it is found
that the matter can be taken into that
court at all. From the nature of the
case. this would necesSitate a hurry
up session of that court, special
hearing out of the ordinary routine OF
cases being arranged on account Of
the Importance of exhumat ton being
at an early date. if 1t is to be made at
all. The attorneys on the other side
of the case claim that morphine
poisoning disappears from the body in
a short time. and that if an autopsy is
held it must be held at once.
The task of getting the body out of
the ground, once the order is issued,
will be great. The casket is hermeti-
cally sealed and enclosed in a very
heavy rolled steel vault, the lid to
which is fastened with numerous
heavy spring locks which operate only
from the inside. There is no way of
unlocking them from the exterior, and
1t will be necessary to raise the entire
vault with a derrick and nearly de-
stroy it With machinists' chisels.

THE MANS SIDE OF m.
Over His Own Signature Earle Tells
of Marriage Failure.

II
New York Sept Frederick Phin-
today of why he put away his wife to
marry his affinity" Here is Mr..
Earle's version, signed by himself:
want to speak to the brave people
who are anxious to get at the truth of
this matter, the people who reserve
their verdicts until the accused have
had a chance to defend and vindicate
their position. Ny wife was all song
and sunshine until the gloom Of my
too positive personality left her life
colorless and gray, and was all In
tensity and work until some subcon-
scious friction between US Sapped all
my mental and physical energy. This
state of affairs we both cheerfully be-
lieved would change, and for long
while we convinced even the friends
horizon was bright with hope.
Later we felt confident that the
birth of little Harold would chase
away the ugly phantoms that haunted
even our happiest moments. But the
song and sunshine did not come back,
and thus nearly two years passed.
There had been talk of the necessity
of separation, but 1 could not rob Mrs.
Earle of Harold, and I could not bear
to part with him; she would never
have taken him from me had not the
coming into my life of an unsuspect-
ing stranger awakened the latent and
languishing energy and given me
courage to part from my boy, to
whom I had given much care and
love.
intimated as gradually and as
kindly as possible to Mrs. Earle the
new element in our relations and as
soon as she grasped the whole situa-
ton it was comforting, to say the least,
to see the old smiles returning to her
face and the old songs resurrected. We
did not shrink from legal obstacles,
for both wanted to act honorably,
kindly and openly. Neither Mrs. Earle
nor 1 ever dreamed that the papers
would take the slightest notice of our
case as there was nothing scandalous
or unnatural to be revealed. We were
preparing a few of our friends for
what was coming, when somehow the
news slipped out and the whole neigh
borhoo1 had it.
The only sentiments expressed by
my neighbors were of sorrow and re-
greet. Every one to whom we had an
opportunity to speak felt the in
evitability and benefit of our step. My
wife met Miss Kuttner on the Holland
American pier for the first time, but,
as they had correspondent, and as both
were sure of the others friendliness,
there was nothing felt except sympa-
thv and love.
None of my friends will believe that
I am glad to relieve myself of Harold
and as forythe public 1 hope it will not
think so either.

POLICE FIND A CLUE.
Life Policy of 100000 Involved in At
tempted Assassination.

Vienna, Sept. THE Venice police

which may account for the attempt at
Venice, September 4, on the life of
Count Kamarovsky, a colonel of the
national guard and a councillor of
state by Nicholas Naumoff a Russian,
son of an ex-governor of Perrin.
1t has been ascertained that KAN
arovsky insured his life for 100000
in favor of a lady with whom he fell
in love. AS she was acquainted with
Naumoff it is presumed that she
planned to murder him in the hope of
obtaining the money from the insur-
ance company Another Russian sus-
pected of having been implicated in

Ten Thousand Dollars for Seven
of the Cases.
NO DAMAGE ACTION,
Mr.. Kopff Agrees to Dismiss
His Suit.
Each Receiver Will Get About
$4,000 for His Work.

another $4,000 was contributed to the
private exchequers of the three brewery
receivers Friday by the aggregation Of
Helm companies, which came before
Attorney General Fred S. jackson, and
the receivers. and agreed upon DEGREES
10 be filed with the court in each of the
seven cases involving Helm properties.
Inc seven cases are as follows:
Fremont Land company
Helm Real Estate company.
Helm Brewing company.
Ferd Helm brewery
Kansas City breweries.
Rochester brewery
Imperial brewery
All OF these companies are controlled
by the Helms The damage suit for
$500 filed against the receivers in the
FEDERAL court by George Kopff will be
Withdrawn. Kopf is said to be an en-
ploye of the Helms. He declared that
the receivers damaged his property in
taking possession of it.
The Helm interests were represented
by Harkless. Crysler & Histed, of Kan
sas City, Mo, j. H. Harkless being pres
ent to present the case. No exact fee
for the receivers had been fixed by the
court in the Helm cases, and so the re-
ceivers agreed with the brewers to ac-
cept the lump sum of $4,000 for all seven
cases. This is in addition to expenses
and court costs, which will be several
hundred dollars more. The receivers
will get $500 expense money.
This makes $21 900 which the receivers
have received thus far, or about 1000
apiece. The Schlitz company owes
s6,000 and several smaller concerns will
come in, so that the receivers will get
about $4,000 apiece for a few months
work.
Rentals received since the receivers
took possession will be turned over to
the owners.
Out Of the great number of brewing
companies proceeded against by the at
torney general only four are still unset
tied. They are the Miller Bros Brew
ing company. the Goetz Brewing COM
pany, the Lemp Brewing company and
the Schlitz Brewing company.
None of the breweries have yet COM
piled with the order of the supreme
court to sell their Kansas real estate.

Canton, o., Sept. 7.-Prf sident Holland
of the National Letter Carriers associ-
alton, announced to the national con-
ventfon that he would not be a candi-
date for reelection
This step was taken in response to an
EXPRESSED wish of the postal department
as outlined in an address before the
convention by First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock. 1t was charged
that Holland had violated rule of the
department in lobbying in congress for
legislation favorable to the carriers, af-
ter having been requested by the presi-
dent not to do so.
The convention voted to pay Holland
5000 So 900 at once and $1,000 within
two years. This action is taken to mean
that Holland will either voluntarily re-
sign or be forced to resign as Boston
