THE MOENING- OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBEE -16, , 1903. HEATHAPPEARSSAFE Ex-Postal Chief Not Delib erately in Postal Frauds. ANY MISTAKES WERE OF HEAD Secretaries of Western Senators Mentioned In the Caae Are Kot JuIaWe to ProBccatloa Heath May Be Called. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash ington, Sept. 15. From time to time the Intimation has gone forth that a farmer high official of the PoBtoffice Department Js likely to be drawn Into, the net with "Machen. Beavers anoN others, hut never has the high official been named. This Intimation, no doubt, applies to Perry Heath, who was First Assistant Postmaster-General under McKlnLey, and who held that office during the days when Machen and Beavers successfully oper ated many of their now exposed grafts. But there Is little probability that proof will ever be found of any graft worked' by Heath. Time and time again Postmaster-General Payne has made It plain that noth ing Incriminating has been found against this former official. Heath, it Is true, was a machine politician, a spoilsman almost to an extreme, and It was under his re gime that so many political appointments were made in the Postofflce Department. While there can be little doubt that Heath approved many contracts under which Beavers and Machen secured rake-offs, it has not been shown that he had knowl edge of the grafts being perpetrated by his subordinate officials. If he Is culp able. It Is for failure to detect irregulari ties in such contracts rather than for com plicity. It Is rumored that Heath is soon to appear before the grand jury -In Wash ington to testify against Beavers and Machen, but even this rumor Is without substantiation. Again reference has frequently been made to the secretary of a Western Sen ator who. It is reported. Is Implicated in postal Irregularities. This designation has been construed to apply to two' sec retaries to Western Senators, but, as in the case of Heath, nothing has been proven which would incriminate either, and they, too, are In little danger of fall ing into the clutches of the law. In the one case, reference is made to J. E. Jones, now secretary to Senator Kearns, of "Utah. Jones Is the man who was appointed by Heath as physician to the letter-carriers in Washington, D. C, and in that capacity drew something like $1700 a year and rendered practically no service. His graft was soon cut off, and there his offense ended. The other Is supposed to be one Robert Brown, who was secretary to "Billy" Ma son, up to the time of his recent retire ment. Brown was at one time an em ploye In the Postofflce Department, but severed his connection by request. He has not been In the department for several years, and he will probably not figure In the round-up. Moreover, there is noth ing known to intimate that he -was guilty of any offense that would . bring him within the reach of the law. . . BEAVERS TRIAL IS BEGUX. Ex-Postal Chief Ik Worried, nnd His Attorney Fight Hard. NEW YORK. Sept. .15. The prelim inary examination of George Beavers, for merly head of the salaries and allowance division of the general postofflce, under the Indictments returned against him by the Federal grand jury of Brooklyn, charging him with conspiracy to defraud the Government through complicity with the Brandt-Dent Manufacturing Company, of Watertown, Wis., was commenced to day before United States Commissioner Hitchcock. The defendant was repns, pented by his counsel, Morgan & Seabury, who were reinforced by a third lawyer, Max Stauer, who conducted the examina tion. The defendant, looking worried, though attempting to appear at ease, sat behind his counsel. The Government side of the case was looked after by Assistant United States "District Attorney Wise. General Henry T. Burnett, the United States District At torney, was also present, but took little part In the examination. At the beginnnlg of the examination Mr. Stauer moved to dismiss the proceed ings on the ground that the facts as al leged In the complaint were insufficient, and that no proof had been presented for the Commissioners' consideration In sup port of the Indictment and complaint, as required by law. Mr. Stauer read a 'num ber of decisions supporting his conten tion. PAYNE MAKES HER IXDIGXANT. Onnted Dclnrrnre Postmaster Denies Charge of Political Activity. WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 15. Miss Huldah B. Todd, postmaster at Green wood, Del., whose removal from office by the Postmaster-General, because she was obnoxious to United States Senator Allee, attracted the attention of the entire coun try, has given up the disputed office to Jacob L. Houseman, who was appointed her successor. Miss Todd got out quietly after obtain ing promise from Houseman that he would release her and her bondsmen. She was Indignant however, when asked about the statement from Washington that the postofflce was used as a meeting place for the factional Republican oppo nents of J. Edward Addlcks" and the Union Republican party, and that she had annoyed Union Republicans when they came to the office on business. Miss Todd said: "I have treated all patrons of the office with courtesy. Whether they were Re publicans. Union Republicans or1 Demo crats made no difference to me." Represents Payne at Hearing. WASHINGTON, Sept 15. In accordance with a decision of Acting Attorney-General Hoyt, declaring that the subpena served on the Postmaster-General yester day to appear at the hearing In New York today In the case of George W. Beavers, formerly head of the salary and allowances division, Postofflce De partment, was void, the Postmaster-General designated Postofflce Inspector Law rence Letherman as his representative at the hearing. Postmaster-General Payne said today that It was a physical impossibility to comply with the subpena. In any event, aside from the law In the case. The sub pena, he pointed out, called for papers, documents and records covering years of operation of the department to be pro duced before the Unlte States Commis sioner. These papers are in constant use in connection with the Investigation of the postal service, and are scattered throughout the country In the hands of inspectors. Nevr Washington Postmaster.

Alaska Man "Wanting 1004 Fair Place Bitterly Opposed hy Carter. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 15. The fate ,o Louis -L. Williams, of Juneau, whose appointment as Alaskan Commissioner to the St Louis Exposition was recently held up by Sec retary Hitchcock because of protests, Is still in the balance. Ex-Senator Carter, who filed the first protest, has renewed his fight on Williams and Is determined, if possible, to prevent his ultimate appointment. It Is learned at the Interior Department today that while Carter Is apparently opposing: Will iams solely because he Is a Democrat, his opposition dates back two years to the" time when Williams came down from Alaska and conducted a vicious anti Carter campaign in Montana. . At that time Carter threatened to j-et even, and so far his protest has been effective. It Is also learned that fully a month before Williams was appointed Carter, hearing of his indorsement at the public meeting at Juneau, filed a protest against him, hut this protest was ignored by As sistant Secretary Ryan, as Williams was indorsed by Governor BfKSy. When Williams' appointment was an nounced, Carter telegraphed the President at Oyster Bay, and It was under direc tion of his superior that Secretary Hitch cock suspended the appointment What ever action Hitchcock has taken has been under direction of the President EXPECTS NO BIG ROOM IN SILVER, Department Official Denies Philip pine Coinage Is to Be Melted. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Sept 15. Colonel Edwards. Chief of the Insular Bureau of the War De partment, denied the widely circulated re port that the new Philippine coinage will soon disappear in the melting pot, owing to the greater value of silver as bullion. until silver sells at 66 or 664," be said today, "which does not seem to me In the least degree possible, the new coinage is in no danger. I reach this figure by counting In the expense of transDortatlon. melting, refining and casting Into bars, au or which go to make up the total cost of reducing the coinage to merchantable shape as bullion. "The present rise in silver Is, In my opinion, merely a reaction from a Ion period of depression. Looking back over toe last six years-, the increased use of silver In the arts has been too small to warrant anything of the sort, and the leading continental nations of Eurooe that use sliver in- their coinage are not enlarg ing tneir purchase.

Sept 15.-James Kerr Kelly, ex-United States Senator from Or egon, died at his residence here today,1 aged S4 years. He wns a native of Pennsylvania. Judge kelly was a '49er, having gone to California on the discovery of gold In that state. In the Spring of 1S51 he removed to Oregon, where he was a member of the Legislature and served In other im portant offices. In 1860 he was elected to the United States Senate where he served one- term, and on his retirement was ap pointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Oregon, which position he held until 1S82, when he resumed the practice of law In Portland. .He served as Lieutenant-Colonel in the campaign against the Yakima Indians, which began hostil ities in the Fall of 1855. Since 1890 he had resided in Washington. A widow, son and daughter survive him. James Kerr Kelly was born In Center County, Pennsylvania. February 16, 1810. He Is of Scotch-Irish descent, his f-reat-trrand-father having emigrated from the north of Ireland about 172S, and settled In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His grandfather. Colonel John Kelly, was a Major and Colonel of Pennsylvania militia In the Revolution and Indian wars, and was a, member of the convention which met in Philadelphia on July 15. 177C. to frame a constitution for a, state government for the Province of Penn sylvania. James JC Kelly graduated at Princeton College In 1630, and soon after commenced tho study of law In the law school attached to Dickinson College at Carlisle, under Prof. Hon. John Reed. After admission to the bar he practiced law In Le-rlston, Mifflin County, Pa., and was Deputy Prosecuting Attorney lor the County of Mifflin. Early In March, "1840, In company with a .number of other young men from Lewlston and the neighboring counties, he left for California, going to Pittsburg by stage coach, thence by steamboat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans, and from there to Vera Cruz, in Mexico, by ship. From there the party traveled across Mexico by way of the City of Mexico, Querataro, Guad alahara and Teplc to San Bias,, on the Pa cific Coast. From there they took passage on a Mexican schooner for San Francisco, which they reached about the 6th of July,, 1840. He worked in the mines a few months, then practiced law in San Francisco until about May 5. 1851, when be left in the steamer Columbia for Oregon and arrived at Pacific City, a hamlet On Baker's Bay, since gone out of existence. In the Fall of 1S51( he went to Oregon City and commenced the' practice of law. In partnership with Hon. A. L. Lovejoy. The Legislative Assembly of 1852-53 elected James K. Kelly, of Clack amas County: Reuben P. Boise, of Polk County, and David R. Blgelow, of Thurston County, Code Commissioners', to prepare and compile the first code of Oregon, which was adoped with but little alteration by the Leg islative Assembly In December, 1853. At the general election In June, '1853, Mr. Kelly was elected a member of the Legis lative Council (the upper house), from 1853 to 1857, and was twice chosen as president of that body. Mr. Kelly raised a company of "mounted volunteers" in Clackamas County for the Oregon Indian War of 1855, and was elected Captain of his company, and later Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment under Colonel James "W. Nesmlth. At the election held In June, 1857, he was elected a member of the constitutional con vention from Clackamas County, and was appointed chairman of the committee to pre pare the articles of the constitution relating to the executive and administrative depart ments (the Governor and the Secretary of State). He served In the Oregon State Sen ate from 1800 to 1SG4, representing the Coun ties of Clackamas and Wasco.

In 1804 he was nominated for member of Congress by the Democratic party, and as his party was then In a hopeless .minority was defeated by Hon. J. H. D. Henderson, Union-Republican. He -was again the nominee of the Demo cratlc party .in 1850 for Governor of Oregon, and was defeated by Hon. George L. Woods, the Republican nominee, by a small ma jority.

The annual convention of the Oregon State Woolgrowers' Association opened here tonight with an address of welcome by Colonel W. F. Butcher- on behalf of Baker City, In which he expressed the hope that the differences between sheep and, cattlemen would be amicably ad justed and that the deliberations of the body would advance the Interest In Ore gon. He said that while he liked beef, he had to wear clothes and In closing, heart ily extended the freedom of the city to the visitors. Secretary Gwlnn responded felicitously. President Douglas Belts opened the con vention by reading an Interesting paper on the wool and sheep Industry of Ore gon. ; Secretary Gwlnn submitted his annual report, showing the associations to be in a prosperous condition. Hon. Charles F. Martin, of Denver, sec retary of the National Livestock Associ ation, delivered an address Af length sup porting the establishment of Independent packing-houses In the Missouri Valley and soliciting the aid of the Western sheep men and attacking vigorously the meat trust . The convention will continue Its session tomorrow. Address of the President. President Belts spoke In part as fol lows "Delegates of the Woolgrowers Associ ationGentlemen: This meeting marks the fourth mile-post in our association's history, since It has become more than a local organization. "I have been very fortunate In being able to meet wth you at each recurring convention. I have met with and become acquainted with many pleasant and Intelli gent woolgrowers at these meetings, men from Baker, Wallowa. Grant Crook. Wasco. Morrow and qther counties, and by exchanging Ideas on sheep husbandry have received Information that has amply repaid me for all "expense and lnconvenl- ence Incurred. I think we all haver been benefited by it v "True, we haye not accomplished as much as we hoped for, for the very good reason the trusts and corporations seem to tie with one another In seeing which can collect the largest tribute from the stoefcgrower for the prlvllege of con tinuing In business. However, when we consider that only a comparatively few woolgrowers have taken an active interest in the affairs of the association, there Is no cause to be discouraged. But I want to. emphasize the statement, here and now, that this association should be maintained at all hazards. It should co operate with the National Livestock Growers and the National Woolgrowers Association. There are many interests Involved at the present time which these National associations are laboring to set tle In the Interest of the stockgrower, and which are of nearly equal Importance to the consumer, but in order to be suc cessful must, have the moral and finan cial aid of local stock associations, and backed up by all who wish to see justice done. "Of the several bills introduced In the last Congress In the interest of the live stock grower, only two, I believe, be came laws. The first and most Important was an act to enable the Secretary of kAgrlculture effectually to suppress and prevent the spread of contagious and In fectious diseases of livestock and for other purposes. One of the principal things aimed atm"thls bill was to correct a serious error In the old law. The old law provided for Federal Inspection of livestock offered for shipment through other states 'and territories, but left It optional with local officers of the states and territories to inspect the shipment also and collect fees for the same, and it Is needless to say the privilege was being taken advantage of 'greatly to. the disad vantage of the shipper. It was simply a 'graft The pew law provides: " 'Whenever any Inspector or assistant inspector of tho Bureau of Animal In dustry shall Usue a certificate showing that such officer had Inspected uny cattle or other livestock, which were about to be shipped, driven or transported from such locality to another, as above stated, and had found them free from Texas or splen etic fever Infection, or tiny other contag ious disease, such animals, so Inspected and certified, may be shipped, driven or transported from such place Into and through any state or territory, or maj be exported from the United States with out further inspection or the exaction of fees of any kind, except such as may at any time be ordered orexacted by the Secretary of Agriculture. "The enactment of this bill will result In a saving of $200,000 per year to stock men. "For several'year8 the Northwest Llye stock Association has been striving to have Congress amend the Interstate com merce act so as to give the commission power to enforce Its own rulings. Late in the last session It was successful, with the aid of other organizations interested. In having an amendment enacted Into law. While It is not exactly what was wanted, It Is, nevertheless, considered a great Im provement over the old law. "Owing to the great fight In the Sen ate over the Isthmus canal and statehood bills, the following measures failed to pass, but will be reintroduced early In the 58th Congress: The Grosvenor anti shoddy bill, a bill to provide for the tak ing of a census of agricultural statistics in 1905, and every tenth year thereafter; Senate resolution No. 167, hy Mr. War ren, of Wyoming,, to provide for a careful .Inquiry and report respecting the present operation of certain land laws; an act to amend section 43S6 of the revised statutes of the United States, striking out '28 consecutive hour!?' and 28 hours,' and Inserting '40 consecutive hours' and '40 hours.' This Is an amendment to the law which provides that livestock in transit shall not he confined in care more than 28 consecutive hours. It Is argued in support of this measure that 40 hours should bo the limit, being more humane. iby limiting the time in transit, besides tolacing the stock on the market in much better condition. t P"I wish every woolgrower was In pos session of the reports of the last annual meeting of the National Livestock and Woolgrowers conventions. It would be worth while to secure them. I know you would read them and your fund of knowledge would b largely Increased thereby; and furthermore, I hope as many of you as can possibly make it convenient to do so will attend the next conventions 'of these associations to be held in Port land, Or., next January. You will find It money well spent, and It will Infuse new life Into our state association." JUDGES COMING TO PORTLAND. Circuit Conrt of Appenls Finnlies Up Its Business) on Pugret Sound.

' The suggestion Is made that F. D. Un derwood, president of the Erie Railroad, will be offered the Northern Pacific presi dency, but In well-informed circles it is thought that Charles W. Bunn, general 'counsel of the Northern Pacific, will be the successor of Mr. Mellen. CABLE SHIP GOES NORTH- Burnslde Will Complete Line From Alaska to Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash.7iept 16.
