CONTEST
COMING
Conflict Over State
Bights Expected
Koosevelt Will Meet Kit
ter Opposition
Next Session of Congress Will Sec a
Battle Over President's Idea of
Giving Central Govern.
ment More Power
Special to Tho Herald.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.— Linns are
rapidly being drawn for a contest, or a
series of contests, in tho fifty-ninth
congress ovnr the extension of federal
power nnd its centralization at Wash
ington.
It is Inevitable that Roosevelt's idea
of giving tho national government more
power, to be lodged In the hands of the
president or his appointees, will arouse
antagonism In the senate and perhaps
In the house, nnd this antagonism must
be overcome If the reforms planned by
Roosevelt are to be attempted. It will
probably be tho last stand for state
rights made in this country should the
president win.
Tho annual message of the president,
now being written, Is said to bristle
with recommendations righting by fed
eral power the many things which are
declared wrong. Ho Is vigorous, It is
said, In his treatment of the railroad
rate question, and this Is merely ex
tending tho powers of the Interstate
commerce commission to Fay when the
rate Is reasonable, in commerce be
tween states and to enforce rate.
Roosevelt Is expected to make recom
mendations bringing the private car
lines engaged in interstate commerce
within the same restrictions.
He will probably renew his recom
mendations for a federal license or a
charter for all corporations engaged In
any business in more than one state.
The proposal for federal control and
investigation of life Insurance com
panies is on the same line. It only ro
qulres the elaboration of this to include
fire Insurance and liability companies,
trust companies and investment and
mining companies. In the same direc
tion is the movement for a national
divorce law and a recommendation
the president made a year ago for a
national employes' liability law. A
similar tendency, though on broader
lines, is the San Domingo treaty still
pending, which gives to this govern
ment the right to supervise foreign
debts and to pay the foreign claims of
disorganized republics.

in all the ways that make for better
men and ' better women, for better
homes, for a better city, a better state
and a better country."
FOUR-MASTER GOES ASHORE
Unidentified Vessel Lies in the Break.
ers Off Tillamook
Bay
By Associated Press.
PORTLAND. Ore, Nov. 12.— A brief
telephone dispatch to tho Orcgonian
from Tillamook, Ore., states that an
unidentified four-master went ashore
In the breakers off Tillamook Bay at
5 p. m. today.
The bar Is extremely rough and the
steamer Sue Elmore, the only available
craft, is for that reason unable, to go
to the vessel's assistance.
Local marine men are totally at a
loss as to the Identity of the craft be
cauße of the ambiguity of the descrip
tion. If It i« a four-masted schooner
It Is probably the William Bowden from
San Francisco, as she is thought to be
the only schooner of that description in
that vicinity.
If it Is not a schooner it may be one
of a dozen vessels which are due off
the Columbia or have recently sailed
from there.

OFFICERS BAFFLED
BY MURDER MYSTERY
Body of Unidentified Man Is Found on
Cudahy Ranch
Remains First Believed to Bo Those of Missing
Frank Lamonica, but Friend of Fruit
Man Fail to Fix Identify
Who Is the man •whose body was
found on the Cudahy ranch yesterday
morning by a Chinese laborer? Did
he just wander out to that place and
die a natural death there, or was he
the victim of some assassin?
Those nro two questions that are
puzzling thn police and detectives.
Several theories supporting murder
have been found, and as many sup
porting death from a natural cause.
About the man there Is a striking sim
ilarity to Frank Lamonica, the Italian
fruit peddler who has been missing
from the city since October 23.
Deputy Sheriff Sepulveda, an inti
mate friend of Lamonica, of twelve
years standing, accompanied the cor
oner to the Cudahy ranch last night,
but was unable to Identity the body
as being that of Lamonica.
The body of the dead man was found
yesterday morning by Chin Sing, a
Chinese In the employ of Manager
Hund of the Cudahy ranch. It was
found lying between rows in a larpre
potato patch. Decomposition has evi
dently been going on for two or three
week nt the least, or about since the
time of the disappearance of Lamonica.
Nothing but a sack of tobacco was
found upon the body of the dead man.
He wore a pair of dark trousers, a
dark brown vest and a dark coat, a
soft white shirt, no tie, and large, rub
ber-webbed gaiter shoes. His hat was
missing. He wore no suspenders, but
supported his trousers with a narrow
leather belt.
Around the place where the body was
found the ground was considerably
trampled, strongly pointing to a strug
gle. From the place where the man
lay, to a large patch of high weeds, a.
direct path led through a patch of
cauliflower and potato plants. The con
dition of the plants showed that the
man hnd neon dragged over them, but
whether the man had been forcibly
dragged or had crawled there himself
could not be determined last night and
probably never will be.
The sandy condition of the soil has
removed nil blood stains if any ever
existed. The rains have also served
to blot out any trail made by murder-
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST
OFFICIALS IN VENEZUELA
ASPHALT COMPANY ACCUSES
THEM OF EXTORTION
Charges That They Deliberately At.
tempted to Secure $400,000 by
Blackmail — Matos, the Revolution
ary Leader, Makes a Statement
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.— Allegations
that high officials in the Venezuelan
government deliberately attempted to
extort from the company the sum of
$400,000, are made In a statement given
out tonight by the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt company in refer
ence to the suit brought by the Vene
zuelan government for $11,000,000 dam
ages for aiding in the Matos rebel
lion.
The means used by these officials,
according to the allegation, included
blackmail, confiscation of the com
pany's property, tho manufacture of
false testimony nnd the making of
deereps without regard to law.
In reference to the $130,000 paid the
revolutionary leader, Matos, the state
ment says:
"The money was paid for the pro
tection of the company's property dur
ing the continuance of the revolution
and for the protection of Its just rights
thereafter In case the revolution suc
ceeded and without any understanding
or obligation with respect to its use.
During the entire continuance .of the
revolution the company, and, so far as
It Is advised, all its agents in Vene
zuela, ns they were instructed to do,
maintained absolute neutrality."

ers. The broken down plants alone
give support to that theory.
Officers Are Puzzled
A puzzling feature of tho discovery
of the body was ono which serves to
partially destroy the murder theory Is,
why should murderers not leave the
body In the high patch of weeds a few
yards from tho fenco enclosing the
ranch 7 On tho other hand were the
assafcslna awn.ro of the fact that these
weeds were about to bo cut down soon
and that tho polato patch would not
again bo touched for several months,
nnd for that reason drag tho body so
far believing that by the time It was
discovered Identification would be an
impossibility?
Concerning the Identity of the dead
man the polico support three distinctly
different theories. Ono Is that it is not
tho body of Lamonica, because, owing
to the latter's standing In Italian cir
cles, he in all probability would not
have been simply dressed. Another is
that it Is not the body of an Italian but
that of an American. There Is an ab
sence of the ordinarily curly black hair
of tho Italian. The head is bald on top,
nnd the few remaining hairs are. of
gray. The mustache Is of heavy
growth and almost wholly gray. A
third story is that it is none other
than tho dead body of tho missing
Frank Lamonica. He is said to have
had grny hair and slightly bald and a
gray mustache.
In age the man Is about 58 or 60
years. About B foot 8 inches, weight
about 160 pounds. It cannot be stated
whether or not the man was of stocky
build or not. He has evidently lain In
tho rain for several weeks, and tho sun
has dried up tho body to a great ex
tent.
Tho body of tho unidentified man
was taken to the Bresee Bros, under
taking parlors. If possible an inquest
will bo held on tho body today, but It
is feared that Identification will be Im
possible unless it is through the clothes
worn by the man. .
This is the second tlmo within
thirteen months that bodies of dead
men have been found on the Cudahy
ranch. On the former occasion a
Chinese was found lying in one of tho
cabbage patches. His identity never
became known.

Part in "Passive Resistance"
Movement
By Associated Press.
VIENNA, Nov. 12.— The employes of
the Northern railroad of Austria to
night joined in the "passive resistance

The reiterations of Baron yon Frank
enthurn, the Austrian premier, to the
effect that the government, had ac
cepted a proposal to Introduce a suff
rage project at the next sitting of parli

able hope that they will be successful.

tics with only partial success.

Will Be Respected

far as the Congregational church is
concerned.
In an address upon the work of the

said:
"There Is no longer nny difference of
opinion among us respecting the prin
ciples which should guide us in our
work. Yon are familiar with the reso
lution which I offered at Seattle, which
was as follows:
" 'Resolved, That the officers of the
board should not Invite or solicit do
nations to its funds from persons whose
gains have been made by methods rep
rehensible or socially Injurious.'
"I am permitted today to make re
specting this the following statement:
"The principle for which we contend
was not voted down at Seattle; the
board simply declined to take action
upon it. I am now satisfied that that
principle will be respected in the fu
ture nctlons of the board. There need
be no fear that moral issues will be
raised hereafter in the solicitation of
money.
"This statement, I am surp, will be
gratifying nnd reassuring to many.
There is now every reason why we
should rally all our forces to regain
tho ground we have lost and to push
the work with new energy. I wish that
every Congregational church in tho
country would make, next Sunday, or
as soon as possible thereafter, a special
thanks offering for the settlement of
the controversy and the removal of
this hindrance to us."

PRIVATE CAR CASE
Attorney General Will Test Legality
of Certain Commissions Paid
by Railroads
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.— Attorney
General Moody today made a state
ment with regard to tho petition which
will be filed by his direction tomorrow
i:- the circuit court of the United States

brought under the Klklns law to teßt
the legality of certain commissions
paid by railroads (after the receipt of
the published rates) to a private car
transit company controlled by stock
holders of the corporation shipping
I freight in those cars over the railroad
linps.
| This case arises out of facts which
; have been Investigated by the Inter-
I state commerce commission and also

It appears that some of the principal
stockholders of the Pabst Brewing
company organized und own the Mil
waukee Refrigerator Transit company,
a corporation operating private cars.
To the latter corporation the control
of the shipments of the Pabst company
was given by an agreement entered

various railroads mentioned as de
fendants, while receiving as freight
money the open and published rates
for the transportation of commodities
have, it is stated, paid to the Transit
company, In whose private cars the
Pabst's company's beer was transport
ed, a commission of about 12 per cent
upon the amount of the freight money
collected. ' This petition is signed to
test the legality of such payments.
The case Is regarded as of great gen
eral importance by the attorney gen
eral and will be pressed to a speedy
hearing.

recalls the fact that the Imperial ukase
of Deoember 25, last year, establishes
a basis for tho gradual renovation of
tho civil Hfo of Russian subjects and
points out that the measures adopted
In pursuance of that ukase affected
equally the Polish people. The ukase
says:
"Forgetting the painful lessons of the
past, the politicians who are directing
the national movement In the kingdom
of Poland are making attempts as
dangerous for the Polish population as
they are Insolent toward Russia, to
bring about the separation of the em
pire. Rejecting tho Idea of working
in common with the Russian people in
the douma, they are demanding In a
series of revolution meetings the com
plete autonomy of Poland with a special
constitutional diet, thereby aiming at
the restoration of the ' kingdom of
Poland.
"The government will not tolerate
attacks on the Integrity of the empire,
insurrectionary plots or acts of vio
lence. It declares in a decisive manner
that as long as the troubles in the
Vistula districts continue and as long
as that part of the population adhering
to political agitators continues Its pres
ent sway theße districts shall receive
none of tho benefits resulting from
the manifestos of August 18 and Octo
ber 30, 1905.
"There could obviously be no question
of realizing pacific principles in a coun
try in a revolt. Therefore, for tho
restoration of order all the districts
of the Vistula are temporarily declared
to be In a state of war. :
"The future of the Polish people
thus depends upon themselves. Tho
government having a desire to continue
safeguarding' the integrity and national
rights of the Polish people extended by
recent legislative acts, expects the peo
ple to recover from the present intoxi
cation which has come over the king
dom of Poland, the population of which
has become a prey to the agitators,
while at the same time it is putting
the people on guard against entering
a dangerous path which unfortuately
they have not for the first time trod."
RUSSIA'S FUTURE GLOOMY
Freedom Will Be Obtained at a
Heavy Cost
By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 12.— With
each day's developments It becomes
more apparent that the Ruslan reform
ers have leurned little of the lessons
of history, and that Russia is destined
like other countries before her to travel
a thorny path to freedom. She seems
determined to pay the heaviest price
for her political education. This, per
haps. Is not strange considering that
all the intelligent classes are engaged
in a revolt against the old order of
things, the moderates, for the moment
clasping hands with the ultra-revolu
tlonists to accomplish the downfall of
