As to who Is responsible for the open
switch which was the cause of the wreck
the railroad officials are still uncertain.
They believe that the wreck is the result of
either a maniac who wanted to see a wreck
of uch a fast train or some person bent
upon revenge. A careful examination of
the switch today showed that It was In
perfect condition.
Detertlrei Are at Warlc
Detectives are working on the ease.
Trainmen are or me opinion uimi io crew
of the Twentieth Century was dece'ved by
a aecond white light 100 feet beyond the
witch which was open, but while traveling
at such fast speed were unable to gauge
the distance and mistook the second light
far the first one.
W. H. Marshall, general manager of the
Lake Shore, believes the speed of the train
5v as not a contributory cause to the wreck.
!e said that other Lake Shore trains travel
through Mentor at a speed equal to that
attained by the Twentieth Century last
eight, which was not. Mr. Marshall said,
above the rate of sixty miles an hour. The
schedule for the train called for a speed
of flfty-eeen miles an hour at that point.
The wreck had no effect on the sale f
tickets for the same train tonight, the full
quota allotted to this city having been solj
long before the time for the train's de
parture. Coroner York of Ike county announced
this evening that the Inquest would bejla

TANNER STILL DN THE STAND
MltrheU'a l.w Pariaer Telia of Con
tract with Krebetaad of DliUloa
of Klrm'a sarnlna;a.
PORTLAND, Ore . June r. The exami
nation of Judge Albert H Tanner was con
tinued ,by the prosecution today In the
trial of United States Senator John II.
Mitchell. Tanner Identified checks id by
Frederick A. Krebs to Tamer and letters
that passed between himself and Senator
Mitchell relative to their practices before
the land department. Lett. ts showing that
Mitchell received each mnth his share of
the firm's earnings, which was one-half
of the net ree-elpts. and that the money
paid by Krebs to Tanner entered Into the
funds divided at the end of each month
was offered in evidence. A letter from
Mitchell to Tanner showing that he re
ceivd upon his own request a copy of the
firm's books, showing all receipts and how
secured during the senator's stay in Wash
ington, was an exhibit offered today
District Attorney Heney questioned Judge
Tanner as to his trip to meet Senator
Mitchell In December last, when the sena
tor was returning to Portland a short time
prior to his first Indictment.
Judge Tanner told of having received a
telegram from the senator asking him to
come as far as Kalama. Wash., to meet
him. The Judge had taken the trip and had
met the senator or. the train with Blnger
Hermann and Frank C
of the republican state central committee.
The senator, he said. :was very eager for
land fraud nems. and ske-d If there was
any danger of the govtrament agents hav
ing had access to the btiks of the Arm. Mr.
Mitchell expressed, said the witness, deep
concern about the entries and transactions
the firm had had with Krebs, and wanted
to see the books. The following day Judge
Tanner testified, the senator went to the
office and In company with him (Tanner)
looked over the books, page by page. Ac
cording to the testimony of the Judge
Mitchell expressed surprise at the way the
entries had been made and demanded that
the old books be destroyed, saying the en
tries in regard to Krebs transactions would
not only indict, but would convict him If
they fell Into the hands of the govern
ment. Judge Tanner testified that he had told
the senator that though it would necessi
tate perjury, and that he had never done
such a thing in his life, he would stand by
his partner and do what he could to help
him. He had agreed to destroy the books
If necessary and had called the senator's
attention to the clause in the partnership
agreements by which the senator was to
receive all the fees for work done before
the departments. He had changed them and
the new agreements had been dated back tp
March 1, ireOl, the same as the original, and
had been signed by both. The subsequent
letters passing between the two men were
also offered in evidence as tending to show
still further the knowledge of the defend
ant that he had been violating the law.

Tormer employe of the-"-Wafers-Pierce Oil
company, against whteh concern, together
wun tne tetandard Oil company and the
Republic Oil company. Attorney General
Hadley of Missouri ha instituted suit to
revoke their charters, was recalled todav
at the hearing of the case before Special
Commissioner Anthony, for the purpose of
cross-examination by Judve Priest, attor
ney for the defendant corporations.
Mr. Conn yesterday tc-stlfled for the state
regarding the methods of the Waters
Pierce company. When asked today ques
tions relative to the business of his pres
ent employers, he refused to answer on the
ground that it would violate "trade se
crets." Judge Priest then askc-d Mr. Conn why
he was not equally scrupulous about the
"trade secrets" of the Waters-Pierce com
pany and the witness replied that after
he had left the employ of the Waters-Pierce
company the latter had tried to ruin his
reputation and deprive him of the means
of making a living.
While a spectator of the proceedings.
President Andrew M. Flnlay of the Waters
Pierce Oil company was noticed by Attor
ney General Hadley and was quickly
subpoenaed as a state s witness. He was
not brought in today's proceedings, how
ever. Maywood Maxon of Decatur. 111., formerly
an employe of the Standard Oil company,
was a witness. He said he was ordered to
come to St. Louis to confer with President
Flnlay of the Waters-Pierce Oil company
in regard to territorial lines between the
two companies in Illinois. He said to
President Finlay: 'I can't understand why
the Republic company, a friendly Interest,
should name the prices they had in Illi
nois. aiitagr,nlMic to the interests of the
Standard Oil company."
At this reply J. D. Johnson, one of the
attorneys for the Waters-Pierce company,
objected to the Investigation being con
ducted for what he termed the 'benefit of
public opinion."
Attorney General Hadley was on his feet
Instantly and exclaimed: "I want to re
sent that statement as absolutely false."
Commissioner Anthony overruled the ob
jection and the examination resumed.

The President's Speech.
The president In his speecv. tiere, after re
ferring to the work of Williams college, the
situation in Santo Domingo and the need of
a strong navy, said:
Another question of which I wish to Fpcak
is tnat of a closer supervision by the gov
ernment e.f great industrial conihinatums.
I think that it has t-een a RTeat mistake to
act on the theory which has shaped most of
eiur legislation, national and state, fetr the
last thirty years that it is possible to turn
back the har.ds of the clock, to forbid com
binations and to restore business accord
ing to and under conditions which have
absolutely passed away. That cannot lie
done. What we can have detiie is to put an
efficient supervision over the owner of the
combination. I do not helf-ve that such
supervision can come efTe-cllvely through
the state, not tlxit it can effectively come
through the municipality, but ultimately in
the great majority of cases to be effective
It must be exercised by the national gov
ernment. As the first Ftep to that I hoi
to see the passage of legislation which will
give, aB an executive, not as the Judicial
function to the national government, tlie
supervision of the railways of the United
States which are engaged In interstate
commerce, with the power when a rate Is
complained ef as Improper and unjust to
examine that rale, and if they think the
rate aaould be cuanged to charge it to a
given rate, and to have that given rate
take practically immediate effect It can
only come If the officers entrusted with the
administration eif the law remember that
It is exactly as much their duty to pro

protect the public from the railroads.
I am going to illustrate what 1 mean by
