Denies Positively Statement Pub
lished That He Has An
nounced Himself.

Harvey w. Harmer denies in. q
positive and emphatic manner the
published article that he Is a
candidate for the nomihtion for
governor. He also denies the state
ment that he has announced or
would announce himself as a candi-
date for the nomination. ~
The story as published y is. that
he decided while in Wheeling Friday
to be a candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination. Fridy morn
ing he ridiculed the story and stated
to Telegram representative at Mr..
Farmers law office that 1t was with
out foundation. and that he never
told and one that he was a candi-
date or that he would be a candi-
date. To the contrary he informed
the Telegram that he could not be a
candidate and had no intention Of
being one.
On his visited to Wheeling, how
ever, he was importuled to be a
candidate. AS to this he stated To
the Telegram that that was the

new system
For the Collection OF Rents is Inau.
gurated BY The City Water
Works Department.

The city water works department
is to be Congratulated upon the IN
auguration of a new system, that Of
collecting the rents for each indi-
vidual quarter as they become due.
It is announced that hereafter in no
case will delinquents be carried
from one quarter to another. Much
time and work Is required to mail
out cards to all consumers, and ann
pie notice is thus given to all to pay
their rents and save the discount.
Moreover no one connected with
the department has any right to
extend credit to water consumers.
Those who are fair and do pay their
rents promptly, want to know that
their neighbors also pay or that the
water service be discontinued. Those
in charge OF the water works are
making every effort towards improv-
ing the service as well as running
1t upon strictly business principles.
The department is in fine condition
all are glad to know, and the re-
ceipts for the current flcsal year
will eclipse those of any other year
in the history of the department by
several thousand dollars.

Janitor James Lipsco1nb
Nearly Dies From Poisoning
Takes Solution Of Arsenic Either By
Mistake or With Suicidal
ASSAULTED AGED MOTHER
Doctor Brings Him Around All
Right BY Promptly Admins
tering Emetics. a

Is
James Lipscomb, colored janitor
either tried to commit suicide at his
home ON Monticello avenue Sunday
night or took drink Of Fowler's
solution Of arsenic or other poison
by mistake. Whichever the case, he
became violently III and a physician
had to work some little time with
him, but after his stomach had been
promptly enptied and other medical
! attention given him. he was brought
around all right and Monday he was
at his usual work.
1t appears that James has been
having a lot of family trouble OF
late. Saturday afternoon he was
arrested ON a warrant issued by
Magistrate James N. David at the
instance Of his mother, who ac-
scused him OF assaulting and beating
here at her home. She said he threat
ened TO kill her after he had knock
ed her down and beat her. They
had "a quarrel over the renting Of
some rooms In her house to an
other colored family. James con-
fessed to the charge contained in the
warrant and was fined S. and costs
by the magistrate. He paid the
moaey and was released.
Mrs. Lipscomb claims that some
one came to her house after she had
sworn out the warrant agaist him
and broke up some Of the furnish
ings. She believed 1T was James
and said she intended to swear out
another warrant against him. but
shs not done 30 yet.
When the doctor who treated Lip
sconb was called into his house.
Mrs. Lipscomb, James's wife, said
that her husband had taken some
poison. James had all the symp-
toms OF poisoning and the doctor
Immediately administered emetics
which were successful in their eff
feet. The doctor found an empty
bottle which had contained about a
drachm and half Of Fowler's solu-
ton Of arsenic. which quantity
would be enough to kill two
or three men in as many doses ia
ken at once.

ADVANCE RATES ON GRAIN,
Railroads Take Revenge For Two
Cent Fare Laws.

Washington, April In accordance
with their intention expressed some
time ago, the railroads constituting the
Western trunk lines, the Central Traffic
association and the Eastern trunk lines
have filed with the Interstate Com
merce commission tariffs increasing
their ratees on eastbound grain and
grain products, to become effective
about April |.
This action was taken, it is under
stood, because of the enactment by leg
islatures of some of the Western states
of laws regarded as inimical to their
interests. The particular law to which
the railroads took exception was the
2-cent fare act of the legislature of Ne
braska.
When the new tariffs were filed, the
commission suggested to the carriers
that the time for putting the increased
rates into effect should be postponed.
The carriers cheerfulIy acquiesced and
the commission has granted the carriers
permission to post and file amendments
postponing the proposed advances in
rates to May !.

PROBE FOR LAND FRAUDS.
Another Federal Grand Jury Begins
Sessions in April.

POrtland-Within two weeks another
Federal grand jury will begin to grind
on Oregon land frauds. The jury will
be summoned soon and the old as we'll
as the new cases that have been inves-
tigated by and through the United
States district attorneys office and by
the agents OF Special Inspector Thomas
B. Nouhansen, together with the cases
that have been worked up by Edward
w. Dixon, in charge of the special
agent for Oregon, will be laid before
the jurors.
When Francis J. Heney left Portland
to tear the lid off of graft in San Fran
cisco, he left number of land fraud
cases, evidence in which was already in
the hands of the United States attor-
ney, to be brought to the attention of
a grand jury. Since his departure the
work of investigating new cases OF fraud
has been going on and when the Jury
gets into action it will have a long ses.
sion.
Among the cases of alleged fraud that
will be brought to the attention of the
jury are those said to have been discov-
eled in and around Pendleton. To this
list will be added others that rumor
says involve a number of prominent
men, not only in Oregon, but in several
other states.
