SLIPPERY RAILS CAUSE
DEATHS OF SIN MEN

Portland. Ore, oct. Six men are
dead and six are badly injured as the
result of a gravel car which plunged
backward down the slippery rails of
the Portland Southwestern logging
railway near Scapoose yesterday. The
wreck was due to heavy rails.
Twelve men were in the car as ii
plunged down the hill, and not one
man escaped, while in the locomotive
which carried five men none was
hurt. The victims clung to the car
as it flew down the track and when
II jumped the rails at a curve three
were killed outright Two more died
while being taken to Scappoose while
the sixth succumbed in a hospital in
this city. The train which was op-
Grated by the Chapman Lumber COM
pany, was within 100 yards of the
top of the grade when rain fell, maxi
ing the rails so slippery that the
brakes refused to work and the load
of gravel became the motive power,

present will not be allowed ashore,

by the health officers of the fleet, al

feet
Craft Of every description met the
fleet at the bay and the shores are
black with thousands of people who
are welcoming the ships, although
the formal welcome has been post
poned on account of the cholera sit
uatiOn.
Barges, launches, and all manner
OF pleasure craft were pressed into
service i'm order that the people
might welcome. Thousands of peo-
pie came out as soon as the search
lights first flashed the news that the
vessels were within sight of port.
At a little after noon the flee;
steamed by Corregidor island and was
accompanied to anchorage by hum
dreds of boats.
The men of the fleet are keenly dis
appointed at not being allowed ashore
until the danger is over. but orders to
that effect were received by Admiral
Sperry and the fleet will remain off
the breakwater until October 10,
when It will go to Yokohama.
Business men here regret the epi-
demic of cholera as a very serious
blow to business interests.

Guthrie OE,a., oct 2.-Further
trouble is bound to follow the ef-

lay pipe lines along the highways
of Rodgers county, which caused the
rupture between Governor Haskell

OF a national issue in the present

the attorney general, asking if, under
the law they had the power 10 grant
the company the right to construct

The attorney general Immediately

power.
1t is certain that determined eff

an imposing spectacle and a fitting
compliment to the feature parade Of

walks could not refrain from bursting
into spontaneous applause as one af-

ed in review.

flaming cOlors. The others wore the

Preceded by the school board the
Field school next appeared and by
many was voted to have carried off
the honors. The other schools then
followed, each seemingly trying to
make the best showing. The Wash

features which were good. among
them being the representation Of

TO confer with the local school au-

formation to the school supervisors,
so as to equip the regular teachers. II
is the postmaster generals expecta-
tion that the school children will be
useful to the postal service in seeing
that letters are properly and plainly
addressed.
That there is necessity for action Of
the kind is shown by the business
transacted by the dead letter office,
During the last year 1S,145,172 pieces
of mail matter were sent there be-
cause the postoffices were unable to
read them.

Pleas of not guilty were entered in
the circuit court last evening by the
attorneys for all the men indicted for
selling liquor in violation Of the pro-
hibition law. Seemingly the cases are
to be tried out. The cases against
Murrell ct al, who are represented by
Attorney Will NJ. Peterson, have been
set for trial Monday morning.
But it is easily possible that before
Monday rolls around an understand
ing will be reached whereby the in
dicted men will plead guilty to some Of
the charges against them in order to
secure immunity upon the remaining
counts.
However, District Attorney Phelps
declared this morning that il the ex-
saloonmen wish to take that course
they will have to plead guilty to more
than a single indictment each. This
will mean that Jail sentences will
await them if they throw themselves
on the mercy of the court.
Further Indictments.
Last evening the grand jury re-
turned several indictments. Henry
Kopittke of this city, and Charles
Newcomb of Pilot Rock, were both
indicted for Illicit liquor selling.
John Behrenson, who was arrested
ir June for an attempted assault up
on the little Sailing girl at Weston,
was indicted for his offence.
w. p. Card, the Mckay creek ranch
er, who recently brought suit against
his wife for divorce and asked for a
restraining order, was himself indict-
ed for assaulting his wife.
This morning young John Bloom OF
Pilot Rock, plead guilty to simple lar
ceny and was sentenced by Judge
Bean to serve 60 days in Jail. He was
arrested for passing a $3.50 check
upon a Chinese restaurant keeper for
S55.
Finish Work Tonight.
This afternoon it was announced
that the grand jury is now practically
through with its work and will prob
ably adjourn this evening.

Roosevelt on Prediction Publicity
Alleges Attempt TO Confuse Issue
in Discussion of Campaign Expcn-
dturcS.

Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 2,-Declaring
that "every disinterested voter knows
that large contributions have been
used to secure mortgages upon Off
clals," w. j. Bryan tonight issued at
Tairview statement criucising tha
adoption by William H. Taft, his re-
publican opponent for president, of
President Roosevelts announced view
on the subject of publicity of cam
paign contributions.
Mr.. Taft" says Mr. Bryan, "now
makes the same charge the president
does, the astounding charse-that the
voters are so liable to be misled that
the knowledge (as to the amounts and
sources of campaign contributions
must be kept from them"
Mr.. Bryan then adds:
Il insist that this is an insult to the
intelligence Of the voter and II does
little credit to Mr.. Taft's judgment OF
the men to whom he is making his
appeal"
Bryan Is Surprised.
III MS Sttlelutll, MY, brNo0 says.
II am surprised to find that Mr.
Taft indorses the presidents view on
the subject of publicity as 20 cam
paign contributions. but since he
holds these views I am glad that he
makes them known now.
Bryan says that Taft fails to see
the difference between the publica-
ton of contributions before election
and the publication of expenditures
before election. That the publication
OF expenditures is required to show
whether corrupt methods have been
employed in the election and as the
expenditures continue up to the close
of the polls 1t would be impossible to
make a complete publication until
after election.
He quotes Judge Taft as saying
that the purpose of the publicity is to
prevent contributions for improper
purposes and to guard against inn
proper expenditures of the same and
he says that the former could not be
accomplished except through pre-
election publicity, implying that by
the latter clause into the
Judge Taft is lodging the
real issues.
