GOVERNOR
STANDS PAT
ON PAROLE
THE PLAN IS IN EXPERIMENTAL
STAGE BUT is WELL WORTH
TRYING OUT : GOVERNOR is
PRE.EMINENTLY CORRECT.

Portland, Or, July 2O.-The re-
marks of Governor West in his ad-
dress before the Portland Ad Club at
it's weekly luncheon on the subject
of prison reform are being discussed
with interest here today.
81 am going on with this work and
make it win" the governor is quoted
as saying, eff l see everyone OF my
critics in hell"
Governor West then denounced the
criticism of the state press and Of
individuals, of his methods in hand
ling inmates of the state peniten-
tiary.
81 believe in extending helping
hand to the underdog," Governor
West continued. "Three-fourths of
the young fellows sent to the pen
are not really criminals at heart.
Just because l have a policy of let
ting these boys out on parole or put
ting them to work, | am accused of
letting loose a lot of hardened Grim
inals to commit further depredations.
This is not true. My policy is right.
"The world is better today than it
ever has been and is growing better
right along. If l can do anything in
my humble way to help the poor fell
lows who have gotten into trouble
am going to do it, critics or no crit
les"

Portland, Or, July 19.-(Special)
AT the Hotel Portland rathskeller,
at noon today, the Portland Ad club
pulled off a splendid Salem day
luncheon, at which Governor West,
Mayor Lachmund and Secretary
Hofer, of the Board ( Trade, made
talks. The whole thing was gotten
up by Dell Dinsmoor, that royal Sa-
lemite, who always makes good for
the Cherry City.
Governor West gave a talk on
citizenship" in which he outlined
his present policy. 1t was received
with great cordiality, and a resolu-
zion was passed endorsing his talk on
this line.
Mayor Lachmund spoke on the
hop crop, topic which had been as
signed him. He stated that 100000
bales would be grown this year, and
that they would bring to Salem $5,-
900 900, and he elaborated by stat
ing how many million gallons of beer
would be made from these hops, and
how many trillions Of drinks they
would produce-how much joy II
would all bring to the world, He
then pictured how deep sea this
quantity Of beer would make, and
how many ships could be floated up
on it. He thought that If a variety
of fish could be created to live in
this beer that the entire population
could drink and angle in 1t would be
an elysium, indeed, or words to that
effect.
He next stated how he had been
appointed alderman to succeed man
who "had retired ON competency"
and then how he had been elected
mayor-how he was working for the

Washington, July 20.-Flat denial
of the story of Edward Hines, to the
extent of declaring that he had ever
to say that William Lorimer was the
administrations choice for United
States senator from Illinois was
made here today by former Senator
Nelson w. Aldrich, of Rhode Island
before the Lorimer senate investi-
eating committee.
Taking the stand before tn sem
ate inquisitors, the former king Of
the upper house declared that he
and President Taft were only inter-
ested in the Illinois senatorship to
the extent of wishing to see Repub-
lican elected. He denied that he per-
sonally had ever expressed any pref
ercence for Lorimer.
Aldrich declared that he could not
recall on whose initiative his CONVEX
sations with Hines were brought
about. He added:
"Our first conversation was in
April, 1909. Hines then said that,
in his Judgment, Hopkins could not
be reelected. l said the president
desired a Republican senator from
Illinois; that he was friendly to Hop
kins, because the latter had received
the largest vote in the primary, but
that he would take no part in the
contest. We did not discuss the tar
iff."
Attorney Marble then asked Aid
rich:
"Did you tell Hines that several
tariff schedules were endangered
and that it was most important that
Republican vote be furnished from
Illinois
81 did not. In a second converse
ton Hines told me an effort would
be made to. unite on Boutell and
wanted to know what the president
thought of Boultell IN our next
conversation l told him Boutell was
agreeable to the president, but that
his only desire was the election of a
Republican.
"Our next conversation was on
May 21 or 22, 1908. Hines then said
there was a good prospect that an
| agreement in the Illinois legislature
would be reached on Lorimer, and
he was anxious to learn what the at
titude of the admin 'stration would
be. saw him again that evening
and informed him that Lorimer's
candidacy would not be Objectionable
to the president.
81 did not suggest Lorimer's name
as a candidate. Hines suggested II
to me-"
did you send any messages by
Hines to Governor Deneen or other;
at Springfield regarding the election
of senator?" was Marbles mex
question.
None whatever"
"Did you suggest that Hines tele
phone Lorimer that the presiden
and yourself desired Lorimer's elec
tion
NO" said Aldrich. "In my con
versation with Hines I undertook t
impress him with the fact that Pres
ident Taft was interested simply II
the election of a Republican, bu
that he had no personal choice"
Aldrich denied that he had aske
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, t
bring Hines to his office to discus
the Illinois situation. Asked
/ either he or Penrose did anything t
prevent the election Of former Sena
, tor Albert J. Hopkins, Aldrich re
, piled:
Most certainly not"

st. Louis, July 2O.-Judge Smith

ing an order in the Lewis case to-

We have here one of the most gigantic
frauds perpetrated in many day
II the recitals of the bill are to be
believed, and they are as yet uncon-
uOVerted, the South Sea bubble, of

The indictment against Lewis con-
talns 2 counts. 1t charges that he,
Oy issuing long time debenture pa
per, tried to rcover securities of his
inherent companies, most of it due

II Is also charged that he obtained
several million dollars by fraudulent

complied with the terms of the fran
cbise granted it by the city on
March 19, by filing with the city re-
corder written acceptance of it's
sproysions within 80 days after it

Judge Elgin began asking himself
that question about three weeks
ago, when he discovered the time
within which the company was to file
its written acceptance had expired by
about two months.
After asking himself, without be-
ing able to evolve reply, he put the
question up to his clerks and re-
Quested them to search the records
and ascertai nif a written acceptance
had been filed, and a search revealed
no such paper on record. Not salts

of the franchise had not been filed,

and put the question up to John H..
