F you came West over a northern route, you I should return via a southern route. In like manner, if you made the trip to Cali- fornia over a southern route, the thing to do is to go East over a northern route. By doing this you will see just twice as much as if you used the same line in both directions. Look into this matter of return routes and you will find that the Rock Island System forms a part of the best northern as well as the best southern trans-continental line. Northern Route is by way of Ogder, Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs and Denver. Southern Route is via El Paso. Through car service both ways.

Va., April 20.— The Democratic State Convention held | here to-day was largely attended and was marked by stormy seenes, in which delegates passed ihe lie and threatened | one another with personal violence. Notwithstanding the expressions of bit- !ter feeling, however, the convention | closed in apparent harmony and all | the delegates at large to the national convention were chosen by aceclama- tion and the platform was adopted unanimously. While no instructions were given, it |18 known that all but the four dele- | gates from the Fourth and Fifth Con- | gressional districts favor Gorman for President, with _Parker as second choice. During a recess of the convention the lfi\'e district conventions met at differ- ent points in the city to name dele- | gates and alternates. What are known as the conservatives won In the First, Second and Third districts and Wil- | liam R, Hearst in the Fourth District. The delegates from the Fifth District are non-committal. | Judge Dent of Grafton was named to succeed himself on the Supreme Court bench, CHOICE T VIRGINIANS All But Four Delegates Named by the State Democratic Convention Wil the Maryland Senator Support at St. Louis TORONTO'S LOSS IS 12,000,000 Fire in Wholesale District Covers Many Acres and!

R. Hearst was manifest at to-night's meeting of the Democratic State Committee, called to perfect arfange- ments for to-morrow’s State conven- tion, at which delegates at large and alternates to the National Convention { will be chosen. The friends of Rich- (ard Olney claimed, however, that the | convention would advocate Olney's nominatien for the Presidency by se- lecting delegates pledged for him. | The Hearst men, headed by George | Fred Williams, won what they con- |slder an important concession from |the State Committee when that body | voted against the embodiment of the junit rule in the call for the convens tion. But, although they won this point, there is nothing to prevent the Olney delegates presenting resolutions to-morrow committing the convention to the unit rule. Williams said to- night that if such resolutions were passed they would be illegal and any attempt to bind the district delegates would be laughed at in St. Louis. | The State Committee refused to al- {low the protest of the Hearst support- ers that the caucuses in Lowell, which elected Olney delegates, were illegal, but granted credentials to two Hearst delegates in Chelsea, where Olney delegates had been selected. Pl T S HEARST AGENT IN TROUBLE. i Oregonian Resents Remarks Made by i L. H. Mooser. PORTLAND, Or., April 20.—L. H, Mooser, a Hearst boomer from Cali- fornia, drifted into a meeting of the { Multnomah County Democratic Com- mittes and also much trouble this even- ing. The trouble was caused by J. M. Farmer, a member of the committee, who chfrged Mooser with having made boasts of bribery. ’ When Mooser came into the com- mittee poom in the Board of Trade chamber some one told him of Farm- er's remark, quoting Mooser as say- ing before the convention: “I will have the delegation if I have to buy it,” Turning to Farmer, Mooser cried out angrily: “Any man who quotes me as having said I would buy up delegates is a liar.” “Didn’t I hear you?” replied Farmer. “You didn't,” said Mooser. “I did,” retorted Farmer, “You're a liar,” yelled Mooser. Then Farmer swung with his right and nearly fell down with the effort. Bystanders interfered and the belliger- ents were separated. Then Mooser ex- * plained. He said that he-could buy up all the delegates if he wanted—that is, he had money enough to do so. The | meeting was just then called to order, ‘ Mooser left the room and the incident | closed. | M, F. Tarpey will invade Washington with ¢he Hearst boom. Mooser and B. D. Murphy will go back to California. | That Hearst would have been indorsed for the Presidency is admitted by the most earnest Hearst antagonists had the Californians confined their efforts to the interior counties, But when an effort was made to take possession of things, first in the Mult- nomah County convention and after- ward in the State convention, the Web- footers rose in wrath and turned down the agents from the south, —_———— DISCUSS “OPEN DOOR.” Cabmen and Owners Hold Conference, but Adjourn Without Agreeing. The question of an “open door” pol- fcy is the bone of contention between the drivers of unionized cabs and the owners thereof, who constitute the Sta. blemen’'s Association. Last night there was a consuitation between representa- tives of the two organizations at 24 Eighth street. The meeting was stormy and practically without resuit, The hackmen were insistent on an abrogation of the notices posted in the stables practically declaring that union and non-union men were acceptable, To this the advocates of the drivers objected so strongly that the meeting of the W.

The City Council this afternoon placed all public buildings and the exhibition grounds at the disposal of the fire suf- ferers; amended the fire regulations to allow the erection of temporary struc- tures and appointed a committee to wait on the Legislature and secure an act ordering all wires underground. At a meeting of the Legislature the Premier and the leader of the epposi- tion expressed sympathy with the fire sufferers and it was decided to place a sum of money in the supplementary estimates for the benefit of the fire- men’s fund. .- It is probable that the prorogation of the Legislature fixed | for Friday will be indefinitely delayed because of the fire. .

At the end of the session the repre- sentatives of the cabmen withdrew and the owners remained.

Brackett, chief surgeon of the emergency hospitals, is able to clear himself of the charges | that he_had demanded fees for work performed in his official capacity he will be removed from his position by j the Health Board. This statement was made yesterday { by Mayor Schmitz, who further inti- | mated that even if Brackett is able | to clear himself he will be given an | opportunity to resign. This course will be taken for the betterment of the ser- vice, as the Mayor is uring of the ‘(harges made against some of the at- taches of the Emergency Hospital staff. These charges are likely to bring his administration into disfavor. The charges against Brackett were | made by Mrs. Fannie Ames of 612 Stan- | van street, who accuses Brackett of | trying to collect a fee from her for work performed in his officlal capacity in treating her husband, who was fa- tally injured in an elevator accident. | M. Fleishhacker, at whose place on Sut- | ter street Mr. Ames was crushed, also | charged Brackett with demanding and receiving from him a fee of $5 and of making an unsuccessful attempt subse- | quently to collect an additional $100 | from him (Fleishhacker). Dr. Brackett appeared at the Mayor's office yesterday afternoon to present his defense, but the Mayor was not in. Brackett confided to Secretary George | Keane that he had a complete written | vindication from Mrs. Ames and he | promiged to return later when the May- or would be in. —_——— Reprieve for a Chinaman.

Likely to Be Retired for LUMBER RATE IS LOWERED Southern Pacific Announces That Freight From Oregon Points Will Be $3 10 a Ton BUSINESS WILL REVIVE Industries in Willamette Valley Will Be Stimulated by Action of Railroad Special Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or., April 20.—An- nouncement has been made by the Southern Pacific of the restoration of the old rate of $3 10 per ton on lumber from Willamette Valley points to San Francisco. Last fall the rate was raised to $5 peg_ton. The real reason for this is be- lieved to have been a scareity of cars and consequent inability to handle the business offered from valley points, al- though it was semi-pfficially stated that | competition by sea from Portland eo: | pelled the company to grant a low | rate from this port. Much activity will mark the resump- tion of the old rate. In Lane County alone the Booth-Kelly Company, which a year ago was employing 1000 men in the running of four large mills, had cut its product two-thirds. This company announces that it will at once increase its output and put the old force at work. Mills that are runping part time will be run full time, and other mills will start up as soon as logs can be obtained, Logging crews have been or- | dered to the woods at once, —_——————— Miner Himself.

In dispatchipg the portrait regal pomp was observed im order to impress the natives, who re- gard its departure as an omen that the Dowager Empress will not live the year out. It is contrary to Chinese tradition to have likenesses of their semi-sacred rulers made, and the innovation caused a sensation at the Chinese court. The painting of the portrait was suggested and the eonsent of the Empress ob- tained by Mrs. Conger, wife of the United States Minister to China. While painting the portrait Miss Carl resided in the palace, with apartments near the Empress, who gave her daily site tings. —_———— FIVE INDICTMENTS ARE MADE AGAINST HAYS Former Bank Cashier of Riverside Charged With Falsification and LO8 ANGELES, April 20.—The Federal Grand Jury, sitting here, re- turned five indictments this afternoon against H.
