SOCIALISTS OPEN BIG
OREGON CONVENTION
Multitude Cheers as Tent City at
Klamath Falls Is Illumi
nated
KLAMATH FALLS, One., June 27.—
Greeted with the blare of brass bands
and the cheering of multitudes, a
thousand red and white lights flashed
up last night, illuminating the great
tent city. The "big top," 100 by 200
feet, serving as an auditorium for the
great socialist gatherings, glowed like
a monstrous fire balloon half inflated,
■with the many lights within.
A loud hum of excited voices broke
the quiet of the night, while the im
mense crowd cheered the informal
opening of the encampiwnt.
The fact that in the course of a few
week! the- Socialists of Klamath Falls
raised a fund of $2000 to meet the ex
penses of the Oregon-California So
cialist encampment, served with other
circumstances to arouse general inter
est in the opening. Beside the thou
sand or more visitors brought in by
thi' encampment and the holding of
the circuit court, more than two-thirds
of the population of the city made
their way to the encampment ground
last night, swelling the crowd to near
ly 40(i(>.
A spirit of general goodfellowshlp
prevailed, and stranger talked with
stranger about the showing which waa
made with the 500 tents and the "big
top," Illuminated, and the list of
i-rs engaged for the encampment.
Thus it was that a banker of Kla
math Falls said to a stranger:
"I don't hold with these Socialists
m all. They may havo some good
but they go too far, don't you
think so? But they sure got this thing
lup ill good shape, I'll say that for
them." And he did not know he, was
speaking to an organizer of the So
i party.
The main address of the evening,
Next Steri in Democracy," by
Edward Adams Can troll, was well re

GROUND WORK FOR IDEAL
CITY, SAYS MAYOR SEIDEL
Milwaukee's Chief Executive
Makes Address to Ger
mans in Chicago
CHICAGO, June 27.—Building the
ground work of an "idealist socialist
city 1 was described by Mayor Emil
Soidel yesterday as tho object of the
present Socialist administration of
Milwaukee. He addressed an audience
of 5000 German-American singers at
Volksfest, in a local park, speaking
first In German and closing his address
in English.
The occasion was the open-air dem
onstration in connection with the fifth
annual convention and naengerfest of
the German-American Singerbund of
the Northwestern States.
"When we came into the city hall at
Milwaukee we found the administra
tive machinery rickety and rusty and
absolutely useless for our purpose,"
said the "Socialist mayor. "The board
of public works was a three-headed
monster with tentacles reaching into
corporation and contractors' offices in
all parts of the city.
"When we set about to kill the mon
ster the Republicans and Democrats
told us we could not do it. We said
nothing, but went ahead and killed it.
"Many are wondering if we have in
troduced Socialism in Milwaukee. I
am frank to confess that we have not,
and it probably will be a long time be
u c shall be able to do so. We are
building the ground work for an ideal
city for men and women to live In."

Senate Investigating Committee
Meets but Is Unable to
Arrange Plans
McMURRAY PREPARES ANSWER
Central Figure in Scandal Will
Submit Statement After
Hearing Complaint
[Associated Pre«s]
WASHINGTON, June 27.—The sen-
I ute committee created to investigate
i legislation concerning Indian contracts
I discussed the matter at considerable
1 length today and tried to frame its
I plant, but made little headway.
The time and place of hearing and
i the method of procedure will be de
termined later.
Senators Jones, Burton and Hughes
! were the members present, the other
two members, Crawford and Percy,
having left the city.
I The commlttW announced It would
' act as promptly as circumstances
I would permit and it would make a
I thorough Investigation within the
| limits of the Hughes resolution. The
I scope of the investigation is limited
in whether any senator during his
term of office has been interested or
connected with legislation affecting the j
approval of Indiai contracts or has
dona anything because of such Inter
est, and whether any improper at
tempts to prevent or procure the pas
sage of the bill affecting the approval
of Indian contracts have been made
at the session of congress just closed.
The committee also announced that
| it appeared that Senator Gore of Okla
homa did not himself charge any sen
ator with being interested in any of
these contracts, but dimply stated that
i this charge was made to him by an-
I other person.
The house committee created to in
vestigate the contract matter will not
meet, in Washington, if at. all, until
after its meeting in Oklahoma City
the first week in August.
J. F. MeMurray of McAlester, Okla.,
about whose contracts the whole inci
dent revolves, liis probable fees being
estimated at from $3,000,000 upward,
will submit a statement to the com
| mlttea setting forth that he has dona
nothing but what is legal and proper.
I This statement will not be presented
I until after Senator Gore formally sub
mits his contentions to the committee.
NO LOBBY IN WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 27.— The
house ship subsidy loan investigation
was practically closed today. The
committee will meet in New York city
in November to examine steamship

mittee already has concluded that the
charges that a lobby was maintained
in Washington have not been sus
tained.
BROWNE JURY OUT EIGHTY
HOURS; NO SIGN OF VERDICT
Judge Will Not Interfere with the
Deliberations Until Friday
CHICAGO, June 27.—Eighty hours
and no sign of a verdict.
This is the story of the jury which
is considering the Browne bribery case
up to midnight tonight.
Judge McSurely opened his court this
morning, waited a while on the bench,
then closed up for the day. The judge
held himself in readiness, however, to
receive a verdict or give instructions,
but was not called on to do either.
Not a word came from the jurors.
The twelve men already have estab
lished a precedent here as "endurance
jurors." They have held out many
more hours than the fifty-nine which
heretofore stood as the record in Cook
county.
Judge McSurely went to his home
at '.) o'clock tonight and announced
he would not return to the courtroom
until tomorrow. Ho reiterated his
plan of yesterday not to interfere with
the jury until next Friday, and then
if he finds it is hopelessly divided he
will discharge it.
If. however, one, two ore three men
an balking the majority, he will send
thorn back for further deliberation.

Tho police, of two counties are investi
gating a report brought by E. B, Bal
linger of Denver that his party in an
automobile were attacked by two men

FILIPINO REVOLUTIONIST
RELEASED FROM PRISON
MANILA, June 27.— Arteinio Rlcarte,
self-styled "The Viper," who headed
an attempt to start a revolution In
1904, and who was rentemed to six
years 1 imprisonment and a fine of
$5000 on the charge of conspiracy
against the United States government,
has secured his release on a writ Of

T. H. AND LAFOLLETTE
CONFER ON INSURGENTS
Senator Talks Significantly of the
Interview—Colonel Is
Evasive
(Continued from Face One)
"Uncle Remus" day, which he said ho
thought was October 17.
Getting back to the LaFollette con
ference, the colonel wished to make it
clear that he had not summoned S.n
ator LaFollette. Mr. LaFollette and
Senator Burkett and Representative
Madison, he said, all had wired him
asking if they might come to Sagamore
Hill.
It was so late In the morning when
he found the telegrams among the
day's grist of mail and telegrams that
although he telegraphed for the three
to come, only Senator LaFollette re
ceived the reply in time to reach here
today. The others he expects soon.
DENIES OPERATION IS TO
BE PERFORMED ON T. R.
Dr. Chappell Says That Colonel's
Throat Trouble Is Trivial
NEW YORK, June 27.-Reports that
an operation is to be performed on the
throat of Theodore Roosevelt were de
nied today by the secretary of Dr.
Walter F. Chappell, who was said to
have made an engagement to attend
the colonel. Dr. Chappell was out of
town today and his secretary sa d he
knew of no engagement having been
made for Dr. Chappell's services by-
Colonel Roosevelt. No Information re
garding the matter was obtained at
Oyster Bay, where it was said the
colonel had no visitors at Sagamore
Hill today nor were any expected.
The report was that the trouble had
been caused through Colonel Koose
velt's long stay in Africa and that the
cause of his recent huskiness of voice
was a small growth In his throat.
Denial was made today by Walter
Frankl n Chappell that ho was to op
erate on the throat of Colonel Roose
velt. Dr. Chappell said:
"A newspaper has stated that an
engagement has been made for me to
meet Theodore Roosevelt at the Man
hattan eye, ear and throat hospital
and there perform an operation on his
throat. It is absurdly false. I have
not been In communication with Colo
nel Roosevelt since his return. From
other sources I have heard the affec
tion of his throat Is trivial."
The officials of the Manhattan hos
pital deny that any engagement has
been made there by Colonel Roosevelt.
CHINA REFUSES POPULAR
DEMAND FOR PARLIAMENT
Regent Will Adhere to General
Legislative Program
PEKIN, June 27.—An impartial de
cree issued today refused the popular
demand recently made for the Imme
diate convocation of a national par
liament. The urgent petition which
was presented by delegates to the pro
vincial assemblies was considered at
the first meeting of the council of the
empire held during the regency of
Prince Chung.
It appears that the regent purposes
to adhere to his original program,
which provides for a general legisla
tive body to be summoned nino years
after the first meeting of the provincial
assemblies which were constituted by a
decree of throne made. May 9 last.
Concurrent with the summons of ths
national assemblies to meet October 3,
announcement was made of ninety-six
members, representing all classes, and
the people were instructed to prepare
for a constitution and parliament.

expenditures put together, approximat
ing 70 per cent of ail such expenses. I
don't believe there ever was a military
despotism on earth that took so large
a toll from the taxes extorted from the
people for the purposes of war.
"Out of these hundreds of thousands
of dollars thus dissipated," he said,
"there was naught but memories of
wages, food and raiment bought for
drones and non-producers; a few more
floating engines of war, co:-tly fortifi
cations that later will become obsolete,
the real, everyday service of the people
getting comparatively little."
POSSE SCOURS COUNTRY
FOR NEGRO RACE RIOTERS
JACKSON. Miss., June 27.—Meager
details reached here today of a race
riot near Harrlsvllle, Simpfon county,
on Sunday. .Several hundred white
men are now searching for fugitive ne
groei. One white man, Luther Buck
ley, and a negro have been killed. The
trouble started when two negroea quar
reled with a white farmer and left him
lying unconscious from a blow on the
head. A posso started in pursuit of the
colored men. Shortly after dark yes
terday, while one of the searching par
ties wfti riding along the public road,
On was opened by the fugitives, and
Buokley, a young farmer, was shot
dead from his horse.
The poaie gave immediate pursuit,
and s negro named Joi.es was captured
and shot to death.
2 VICTIMS OF
TONG FEUD DEAD
Chinese Wounded in Sunday's
Outbreak Succumb to Injuries.
Another in Hospital
MANY ORIENTALS ARRESTED
New York Police Believe Guilty
Persons Among Number
Arrested at Scene
TAssoclated Pressi
NEW YORK, June 27.—Two Chinese
arc doail, a third badly wounded in
a hospital and seven Orientals arc
under arrest as the result of the re
newal yesterday of hostilities In the
never-dying tong war in Chinatown.
Shu Foo, a Long Island laundryman,
was the first victim to succumb to tho
wounds he received when a fusillade
of shots broke looso while the Four
Brothers, one of tho parties to the
conflict, were celebrating an anniver
sary in Pell street, and the On Leong
tong, their rival, sore over the murder
recently of one of its members, was
gathered in Mott street, noar by, and
is said to have raided the arriving
banqueters.
The second victim was Sen Jing, in
front of whose store, at Mott and Pell
streets, the heaviest shooting occurred.
Jlng died early today. Chu Pam, the
third man to be struck by the flying
bullets, Is expected to recover. He is
under guard In the hospital.
The outbreak was entirely unex
pected by the police, who rushed in
time to confine the trouble to the Im
mediate locality, and believe that
among the men they grabbed during
the'melee they may be able to find
some of the participants. The two
dead men were members of the Four
Brothers, and the recent killing of
Chong Fook Yuen is said to bo con
sidered by fellow tong members of the
dead man among the_,On Leongs to
have been adequately avenged.
Immediately after the shooting a big
force of police was thrown into China
town, and today the district is being
strongly guarded to prevent a renewal
of the warfare.
FAMILY OF EMBEZZLER
TO MAKE GOOD SHORTAGE
Sperry Flour Company Slow in
Preferring Charges Against
a Trusted Employe
OAKLAND, June 2" — Leland H- Bar
nard, cashier for the Sperry Flour com
pany, who was arrested yesterday on a
charge of embezzling from that firm, Is
still in the custody of the police. Bar
nard this morning admitted that his
peculations would amount to more than
$30,000, but he has become reticent in
explaining what he did with the money
further than to state that he had pur
chased property In Oakland, Berkeley
and San Francisco, there being In
cluded in these purchases a barber shop
and a restaurant.
The prisoner was visited by counsel
this morning, and later the police stat
rd that for the present no charge would
be made against him. it being believed
that an effort will be made by Bar
nard's family to straighten up his ac
counts. Loyal Barnard, a brother, told
Chief Petersen he would pledge the
support of his family to make good the
amount stolen by the young cashier.
Experts are at work on the books to
discover the full amount of the short
age.
"The firm for which I worked," said
Barnard this morning to the police,
"never suspected mo of anything wrong
until last week. They always trusted
me.but I began falsifying my accounts
two years ago. Realizing that all was
discovered, I intended to kill myself,
but was dissuaded by my wife."
Captain Petersen stated that the po
lice would take no action in the case
until formally requested to do so by
the firm from which Barnard is alleged
to have stolen.
1000 ACRES OF GRAIN
DESTROYED BY FLAMES
Engine Spark Causes Heavy
Damage Near Stockton
STOCKTON, June 27.—Firo started
from sparks from an engine this after
noon ran through tho big barley fields
of Union island, in the southwestern
section of San Joaquin county, and
burned more than 1000 acres of grain
that was expected to harvest from
forty to sixty bushels an acre.
A lucky turn In the wind changed
the run of the fire to the river bank
and stopped the destruction. Tho losses
fell principally on renters on the Wil
liams and Bixler lands, but they were
nearly all insured. The Brain crops
of that section are very heavy, and
the farmers feared the flames would
run through the whole district.
DEATH RATE LOW AMONG
AMERICANS IN PHILIPPINES
WASHINGTON, June 27.—Any idea
that the Philippines are unhealthful
as an, abiding place for Americans
would seem to be dissipated by the
statement Issued today from the bu
reau of Insular uffalrs that the death
rate among the 8000 government em
ployes In the islands for the quarter
ended March 31 was only 6.9 per 1000
per year.
These employes, of whom some 3iOO
are Americans, Include all officials and
employes of the insular, provincial and
municipal governments and the police
and fire departments of Manila.

SECRETARY OF WAR READY
TO SAIL ON WORLD TOUR
With Mrs. Dickinson He Will
Leave San Francisco'
Today for Honolulu
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.—James
M. Dickinson, secretary of war, with
Mrs. Dickinson arrived in San Fran
cisco at 10 o'clock tonight and will
leave tomorrow on the steamer Siberia
for a trip around the world. They Will
be accompanied by Brig. Gen. Clarence
Edwards of the bureau of Insular af
fairs.
Secretary Dickinson will supervise
the preliminary plans for the new
government fortifications in Honolulu
and will go from there to Manila,
where he will attend to a number of
Important matters of island adminis
tration.
The return to the United States will
be across Russia via the Trans-Si
berian railway.
The secretary will visit the new
transport dock at Fort Mason, going
from the dock to Angel island and Al-
Oatraa and later to the Presidio.
"My visit to the Presidio will be
more or less perfunctory," said the
secretary, "as I will not have time to
make a close study of the fortifica
tions and will have no recommenda
tions to make concerning them."
When asked for an opinion regarding
the adequacy of the Pacific coast for
tifications the secretary said he had no
comment to make, but talked freely on
other subjects, including recent aer
oplane liights and Zeppelin's latest
balloon trip.
"If we had had aeroplanes at the
time of the Civil War the battle of
Gettysburg would never huve oo-
Ourred," he said. "They will prove in
valuable for scouting purposes, but 1
doubt their usefulness in dropping ex
plosives. I do not believe that aim
could be taken with sufficient accuracy
to do any damage. I saw Hamilton
make a flight recently and I have been
tremendously impressed with the pos
sibilities of development of the ma
chines and their use in warfare."

the ship subsidy legislation closed its
Washington sessions today with an
unofficial announcement to counsel
that it had foud no corruption on the
part of any member of congress.
Two newspaper editors, j. a. O'Ma
honey of Indianapolis and W. A. Shaw,
editor of the Texas Farmer, testified
today that they believed there was a
lobby here, but neither produced any
definite details.
Mr. O'Mahoney said that while he
was a Washington correspondent over
a decado ago, ho understood that one
Don M. Smith and "a man named
Gaddis," by whom counsel thought he
meant the lato Dr. Qlavis, a steamship
representative, "had lobbied for the
foreign lines."
He told of "Gaddis" submitting a
story to a Philadelphia correspondent,
long since dead, which the latter told
the steamship man was "too apparent"
'to use.
He had heard that ten men were on
the pay roll of what he called "the
steamship combine," but he could only
suggest these two, names, and when
asked whom he meant by "venal sub
sidized newspapers," said newspaper*
were subsidized by their advertise
ments.
The committee rebuked Editor Shaw
for his allegations that there were
steamship representatives in congress,
inasmuch as such a slander was, they
said, unsupported by any details what
ever.
