Governors Representative Finds No Foun-
 dation for Metropolitan Charges
On the Contrary He Gives the District Attorney tering Certificate of Character--Suggests That Ome's Temperament Has Encouraged Criticism.

Albany, N. Y, Aug 24.-Richard T. Hand, who was appointed by Governor Hughes to take testimony and report findings upon charges filed against District Attorney Jerome by a majority of the stockholders committee of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, in his report submitted to the gover- nor today. finds that not one of the series of charges was proved, but all were disproved upon evidence.
 My conviction upon the whole case" said Hand, "is that the respond ent has been shown to have discharg ed the onerous duties of his office with zeal and ability. having the public good as a motive and that no incapacity, in difference or neglect of duty has been shown in any case"
 The commissioner sustains the con- tentions of Jerome in every charge, stating that at the conclusion of many of them that he could find no neglect on the part of the district attorney or any good reason for other or further action than that taken by him.
 Tn the general conclusion the com missioner says: "Regardless of what this commission may claim to have learned as to the conduct of District Attorney Jerome. we can only infer from the fact that its chairman and secretary concede their utter ignorance and seem to have signed such charges as counsel saw fit to prepare without real knowledge even of the contents of the charges and in absolute ignorance as to their truth or falsity, and coun- sel himself is forced to admit that he

TAFT AND MISSIONS
 TALKS ABOUT CHINA
Believes in the Development of the
 Orient as a Wise American Policy.

Hot Springs, Aug. 24.-Mr. Taft took occasion today to express himself as heartily favorable to the efforts of American missionaries in China as the most effective method of bettering the condition of that nation and establish ing cordial relations between the Chi nese and American governments. The expression was given in a conference he had with Rev. George Painter, who for thirty-five years was missionary in China for the Presbyterian church.
 After the conference Mir. Taft said:
 q do not view with alarm the growth of China into a great industrial empire. I believe this, that instead of injuring foreign trade with China, it would greatly increase it.
 We ought to welcome China's growth as an important power. We ought not to be jealous of it, for it is the blindest kind of policy to retard the development of any nation in the hope of thus increasing our trade"

The Vene zuelan consul here has been instruc ted to withhold passports from persons desirous of taking passage on steam CTS to Venezuela.

had no greater knowledge nor informa-
 ton than they.
 Tt seems probable that the tenn peramental qualities of Jerome have tended to bring upon him this situa- tion in some degree. Certain self confidence and contempt of the opin- ion of other men, certain rashness of expression to the verge of reckless ness and certain impatient criticism have combined. think, to make men far more eager to attack him than they otherwise would have been. But these qualities are not just accusation for such charges as have been presented which have no real materiality on in vestigation'
 The governor will examine the tes- timOny and report before taking action.

"kid Glove" Socialists.
Very different from this band of
grim Russian socialists is the body of
men who have been holding meetings
in New York during the last three
days, with the object of forming an
irternationl organization of kid
glove socialists and parlor revolu-
tionists. According to the statements
CT leaders in the movement, this
body will be limited in it's member;
ship to professional men-physicians
lawyers. teachers, writer's and clergy
men--the upper crust of the social
Isle pie. One gathers from the yelled
remarks of the clerical leaders in the
movement that they consider them
selves trifie too refined to associate
with the common or garden prote-
tariat.
While the parlor socialist is per-
sen of pleasing demeanor and a
source of joy to the reporters, it is
likely that his assumption of supe-
ricrity will be resented by the rank
and file of the party. In the recent
convention at Chicago, the rosewater
reformers were forced to take back
seats, while the horny-handed ones
transacted the business.
The history of socialism in America
is the history of every other reform
party. Those who toll not calmly
wait until the organization has at
tanned comparative influence and re
spectability, and then assume con
troll to foster their own private ends

New Rooms All Taken.

Workmen have been employed since
Wednesday with the finishing work
on the concrete front of the Williams
building. The interior is already
practically completed and the build
ing will probably be ready for occu-
pancy by the end Of next week. The
postoffice will occupy the room in the
west side OF the building and the three
remaining rooms will be occupied by
L. II. Shultz's grocery store, Barn
hart & Grants meat market, and the
central Office Of the Pacific Telephone.
The fact that other firms have already
arranged to enter the buildings
vacated by the firms which are moving
into the Williams building plainly
shows that the demand for store rooms
is still greater than the supply and
that Dallas might boast an even
greater development in mercantile and
commercial lines IL it had only the
rooms to accommodate the many new
enterprises that are seeking for foot
hold in this city.

DALLAS SHOWS BIG GROWTH
City Has Made Unprecedented Ad-
vancement In Spite of So Called
Hard Times"

The present month may be regarded
as closing an important epoch in the
history Of Dallas, year in which the
city has passed through period oi
depression which affected the entire
country and during which, it has moi
only held itself in condition of nor
NAL prosperity and business activity
but has even made exceptionally long
strides in advancement, 50 that il
stands, at the close of the year, in a
much better position than 1t did at its
beginning, on the threshold of another
year of progress which bids fair tc
eclipse that Of the one just passed
Eugene and Salem are probably the
only other cities in the Willamette
Valley that can boast a similar record
OF growth.
During the season Of depression in
the Fall Of 1907, the man ufacturine
and commercial concerns of the city
continued as actively employed as
though nothing had happened, with
the exception of one of the sawmills,
which was closed for a few months,
not however, so much on account OF
any abatement of its business, as from
reasons Of purely local nature which
prevented the company from bringing
logs to its mill for saving.
Early last Fall, the city purchased
rock crusher and road roller and
with the opening of the summer sea-
son in June, the work of building new
streets in the business portions of the
city was added to the list OF its
activities, materially increasing the
number Of men employed and adding
considerably to the payroll of the city.
All Of the main business blocks were
improved by macadamizing, and the
building Of new curbs, which was
made necessary by the street building
work, led in turn to a marked growth
In the cement district which was
pushed out until it covered practically
the whole Of the business part Of the
city, about 16 new blocks Of concrete
sidewalk being laid during the
summer.
The sewer contract entered into be-
tween the City OF Dallas and Messrs.
Venske & Taylor, of Cottage Grove,
last month, supplements the work Of
street building, which is nearly fin
ished for the present year, and insures
continuation of activity, practically
unabated, along the lines of civic
improvement.
Such briefly is the history Of the
city during the year which has passed,
year of so-called depression in all
lines Of activity. And there is every
indication that this growth is only the
forerunner Of a still greater growth
which is to follow in the coming year
and the years succeeding it, lifting
Dallas up to its legitimate standing
as the most beautiful, busiest, and
progressive Of the lesser cities in the
Willamette Valley.
