those of the other, with the result
that great work has been accomp-
lished for the people.
Tempermentally they are almost
opposites. II would be difficult to
conceive of Taft forming classes of
liars. "Malefactors of great
wealth" or mature fakirs. He has
not the phrase-makng capacity of
Roosevelt, but he can be none the less
vigorous in denunciation of wrong.
He does not believe that epthets are
necessary to make a speech strong
and incisive. Where Roosevelt is i'm
petuoiis. Taft's legal training makes
him deliberate, judicial, and, once
convinced unyielding.
No man in public life is more
frank and unreserved in his inter
course with newspaper men than Taft.
He goes on the theory that the public
has right to know about the admin
istration of the war department, and
he takes the correspondents into his
confidence, but he reserves the right
TO decide when the proper time has
arrived for the publication of the
facts. He plays no favorltes, but
when Taft says NO" there is a final
ity about 1t which is generally ac-
cepted. On one occasion. however. a
correspondent persisted In asking
leading questions on a subject upon
which the secretary had sad that he
could not speak. Tafts face lost its
smile, the kindly gray eyes developed
steely glitter. and suddenly the
storm broke. He declared that he

was such a surprise coming from
Taft that for a few moments no one
uttered a word. Then. just as sud
denly the storm cleared. Jumping

Iand the Panama canal with their
many intricate details were of them
selves enough TO fully occupy the time
of one man. Yet when President Pal
mas government in Cuba fell TO
pieces it was Taft who was called
upon to perform the work of reor-
ganization. 1t was Taft who went TO
Rome on the delicate diplomatic mis-
sion of adjusting the large claims of
the Roman Catholic church for the
property taken from it IN the Philip
lpines. and he succeeded so admirably
that the authorities of Rome and the
United States, and .sthe Flipinos
themselves, applauded his accomp-
| lishment.
When the controversy arose be-
tween Bowen, the American minister
to Venezuela, and Ioomis, the as
sistant secretary Of state, it was Taft
acting at the time as secretary of
both state and war as well as sitting
on the lid" for the absent president
who conducted the investigation and
rendered judgment The financial
rehabilitation OF Santo Domingo was
also worked out under his supervis-
ion.
With all of these multifarious re-
sponsibiht.es put upon him he yet
finds time to attend to the thousand
and one details of the business Of
the war department. OF course he
has able assistants. But it is a fact
that no improper paper issues from
the war department which has not
received the careful personal atten-
ton of the secretary. No matter how
voluminous the records in the case.
Taft insists upon going through them
until satisfied that he has a thorough
understanding. With a marvellous
faculty for the quick assimilation of
facts he reaches a decision rapidly.
and It is seldom indeed that he has to
revise a judgment. In the considera-
ton of court martial cases he is es-
pecially careful and not infrequently
tempers justice with mercy
OF one thing, however, he is in
tolerant. and that IS deceit. Review
ing one day the case of an officer con-
demned to dismissal from the army.
and disposed to be lenient with him
for the sake of his family, Taft went
through the records. Suddenly,
throwing them aside, he remarked:
"Ah, but he lied about it " and pro-
ceeded to approve the court martial
decree.

GIRL 8 YEARS OLD RUNS
AWAY 81 TIMES; CAUGHT
Police Arrest Dainty Miss Who Holds
the Worlds Record for Disappear
ing from PaternaI Roof-Is
Now in Jail

Los Angeles boasts an S-year-old girl
who undoubtedly holds the worlds rec
ord for running away from home.
This little miss, who has a pretty
face and is considered exceptionally
prececious by all who know her, is
only eight years old and has mysterl-
ously vanished from the care of her
father and mother just siXty-four times
since old enough to toddle.
Her name is Oracle Hughes. She
lives (when at home) with her parents
at 500 San Pedro street.
Sunday morning for the sixty-fourth
time it is said Oracle concluded she
was mistreated by her folks. and pro-
ceeded to look for greener pastures in
other quarters of the city.
The police for the sixty-fourth time
were notified of her redisappearance,
and for the sixty-fourth time Oracle
was rediscovered, but not until last
night, when Officer Wallace picked her
I'm at Seventh and Los Angeles streets.
The girl is declared by her parents
to be incorrigible, but the police say
she is a puzzle, and that while evinc-
ing unusual proclivities for disappear
ing she is exceptionally bright, and
much to be pitied because Of her al
legged mistreatment.
Sometimes Oracle disappears and Isl
gone for several days before appre-
hended. On numerous occasions lately,
since she has become so we'll known too
officers on the lookout for her, she has
been captured within few hours after
running away.
Officer wallace brought her to the.
central station last night and she was
locked UP in the care of the matrons
pending an investigation of her case.

PAID FOR FILING
ON PUBLIC LAND
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND. Ore, Jan. 2O.-In the
so-called Mays conspiracy case today
the government disclosed to the jury
how. during 1900 and 1901, the Butte
company secured large areas of public
land in a manner which the prosecution
alleges was fraudulent.
Five witnesses testified to the effect
that Clarence B. Zachary. foreman Of
the company, suggested the idea of fill
ing on homesteads; that he proposed to
erect their cabins and look after the
cultivation and attend to the other re-
quirements of the homestead law; that
he agreed to purchase the claims for
about $500 when final proof was COM
pleted; that the applications were filed
with H. H. Hendricks. another member
of the company, who was at that time
United States commissioner; that none
of the entrymen knew where the land
was located when they filed their appli-
cations, and that none of them ever
visited his claim more than two or
three times, and then for periods of
but ten to fifteen minutes each.
When the proper time arrived. they
declared, each appeared before Hen
1l'SAS' CASVPI Oie' WIZ went pelol Z
James Stewart at The Dalles. and
signed their final papers of proof. When
their final receipt arrived from the land
office, the witnesses testified, they
transferred their property to the COM
pany and received the stipuatel amount.
Judge Webster for the defense cross
examined the witnesses severely and
sought to bring out that they knew
they were perjuring themselves at all
times the acts in question were COM
mitted. This called the prosecution in
the redirect examination of one of the
witnesses to elicit the statement that
answers had already been filled into
the government blanks before they
signed them and that the extracts from
the land laws contained on the blanks
were supposed to be read at each entry
for his guidance and protection, but
were never read to them

tanned were vague and indefinite as

COUNCIL PASSES
BUCKET SHOP LAW
MAKES PENALTIES SEVERER
THAN FORMER MEASURE
Unlawful for Any Person to Enter
Such Establishment-Get
Evidence Has Proved
Costly

The council passed the anti-bucket
shop ordinance yesterday.
City Attorney Leslie II. Hewitt eX-
planned that the penalties were too
small under the old law and the cost of
getting evidence so great that the city
treasury was being drained to make
cases. Hence in the new law the pun
ishment was made more severe.
Mr.. Hewitt said:
II submit herewith draft of an ordi-
nance prohibiting the business of trad
ing in stocks or commodities dealt in
upon any board of trade or exchange
upon the basis of the quotations from
any such board of trade or exchange
without any actual purchase or sale
thereon, or without any intention of
making actual delivery of such stock
or commodity
THE places where such dealing is
carried on are commonly known as
bucket shops.
THE present ordinance repeats the
existing ordinance upon the same sub
ject, but ro-enacts all the provisions of
the existing ordinance and adds there
to a provision making it unlawful for
any person to be or remain in. enter
or visit any such place. and further
provides a more stringent penalty than
heretofore for the violation of the ordi-
nance.
I'm the ordinance herewith submitted
the penalty is both fine and imprison-
ment such fine not to be less than 800
nor more than $500. and such imprison-
ment to be for a period of not less than
thirty days nor more than six months.
This ordinance is submitted after
consultation with the prosecuting at
torney.
The difficulty, as 7 am informed,
both in enforcing the present ordinance
is that the fine is so small that it does
not pay the expenses of the police de-
partment and the prosecutors in OBJ
tanning evidence against bucket shops
and prosecuting cases under the ordi-
nance, and Furthermore it is the judg-
ment of those who have to deal with
the enforcement of the present ordi-
nance that a fine small in amount does
not accomplish the result of effectually
putting a stop to the operations of
bucket shops, and that if a fine coupled
with an Imprisonment is imposed that
the ordinance will be more effective
than the one now in existence"

Special to The Herald
LONG BEACH. Jan. 20.-Fire, sup
posed to have been started by electric
wires, about o'clock this morning de-
stroyed the grocery store and meat
market at the corner of Eliot street
and Kinta avenue. The market was
owned by William McCaslin.
Being outside the city limits there
was no fire protection and the building
burned rapidly The stock, worth
about $1100, was destroyed. There
was a partial insurance. McCaslin and
his family lived Iva one part of the
building. Their household goods were
saved.
Not little criticism has been handed
the fire department for not replying TO
the calls for assistance. Though the
property was located only a few hun
dred feet outside the city, Chief ShreWs-
bury said 1t would not be wise to leave
the city proper without its full pro-
lection.
