where they were able to charge 81

the Bessemer Steel company.
The last year We were in bust
ness" he said, 1--WE had an order for
$4,000 tons of rails for Hartman,
at 81 advance over the market price.
Not long after this order was booked
we began to have trouble with Wall
street."
Hanna recited the story of a mid
night conference in the home of J.
P. Morgan, which resulted in the
steel trust swallowing up the Ten
nesse Coal and Iron company, after
Gary and Frick had obtained Presi-
dent Roosevelts consent to the
merger.
He said that during the financial
depression, Immediately following
the dissolution of the merger, the
banks called in loans for which stock
had been pledged, and that it was
necessary to allow the steel trust to
gobble up the Tennessee concern in
order to save the firm of Moore &,
Schley from going into bankruptcy.
He declared that Morgan personal
ly was not present at the midnight
conference.

WOMEN CANNOT HOLD
AN ELECTIVE OFFICE

If Attorney-General Crawford's in
terpretataion of the law as rem
dered in an opinion yesterday is cor
rect, Mrs. Emma Warren, county
school superintendent for Clatsop
county, is holding her position lille
gally.
The encouragement holds in the
opinion that the laws of Oregon bar
women from holding an elective Of
fee, either through vote of the peo-
pie or by appointment. He gives as
a reason for this that the women of
this state are not entitled to eXer-
else the franchise, and that, not be-
ing recognized by the laws of the
state as an elector, cannot be recog-
nized as a public official where the
Office is elective, and the qualifca-
tions are that the occupant must be
legal voter.

brother of the late Senator Mark

testimony before the Stanley house
committee, which is investigating the
steel trust Hanan said he was own
er of 10000 shares of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company stock, which
had increased rapidly in value the
last ten years.
Hanna said that when his syndicate
purchased the Tennessee stock it
was estimated that the company con-
rOlled 4OO,OO0,000 or 500,00O,OOO
tons of iron ore and 1000, 100000

Hanna denied that he had ever en-

"The financing did not cost us
even a postage stamp, and we paid
nobody a cent to float the stock.

San Francisco, July 28.-Pre-
pared to sign the eXtradition papers
asked by the state of Oregon for
Louis ]. Wilde, San Diego banker,
wanted in the northern state for al
legged embezzlement, as soon as they
are presented to him, Governor Hi
ram Johnson today made a little
statement in reply to the castigation
given him by Governor Oswald
West.
Johnson was disinclined to believe
that the governor of Oregon had been
correctly quoted.
81 can hardly believe that the gov
ernor of Oregon" he said, could
have MAJ the statement imputed to
him, be use no governor could be so
petty, so contemplate or so asinine
as to make such remarks"
And there you are.
Governor West, informed that Gov
ernor Johnson would decline to eX-
tradite Wilde, said that if Califor-
MA were so fond of Wilde, it might
keep him, accepting him as Oregon's
exhibit at the Panama exposition.
'It Had Desired Effect"
"I did make the statement inn
puted to me, and / have no apologies
TO make" said Governor West this
afternoon, when shown a dispatch
saying Governor Johnson, of Cali
forna, doubted that he made the
statement that "if California was so
fond Of Wilde that it might keep him
as Oregon's contribution to the Pan
ma exposition"
81 appears to have had he desired
effect also" he continued, "as it has
resulted in the homecoming of
wild"
When his attention was called to
that portion Of GoevrnOr Johnson's
statement in which he says he doubts
West making the statement, because
mo governor could be so petty, so
contemplate or so asinine as to
make such remarks" Governor West
smiled and said: II am not par
ticularly concerned about the opin-
ion Governor Johnson entertains OF
me; he can't vote In this state.'

It's Up to Germany.

Berlin, July 2S.-Whether Germany
will back down in her Moroccan de-
mands on France or whether the
Kaiser will now elect to fight for the
supremacy Of the Fatherland in
world politics, probably will be de-
cided at Swinburne tonight. On the
return of the emperor to that port
from his cruise in northern waters
he will be met by Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg and foreign Sec
retary Won Kiderlin-Waechte and
the whole situation will be gone over.
In Berlin the feeling is strong that
the kaiser, by some expedient, will
avoid a clash with France and Eng
land, but 1t is not doubted that any
small misunderstanding may preclpi-
tate a world war BY tomorrow the
kaiser is expected to be in Berlin
and it is possible that his position,
If 1t is decided upon tonight, will
then be made known to the world.

San Bernardino, Cal, July 2S.-
The big fire which a few days ago
threatened to sweep the whole side of
the San Bernardino mountains, but
which yesterday was considered prac-
tically under control, has again brok-
en- out, and has spread to such an
extent that the fire fighters are
alarmed.
The flames gained headway when
the fire fighters, thinking it was not
necessary to fight them longer
started a back fire at Crest Road
Rangers predict that the fire will
probably cover large territory, and
will burn for several days east of the
government trail, but they are conf
dent that they will be able to keep
it from crossing the crest of the
range, or reaching the big timber.
