THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1903. big m fraud Idaho Is the Scene of Bold Operations. ACTUAL SETTLERS SCARED Ring Is Cutting Forests With out Any Right. FICTITIOUS ENTRIES FILED 4-and Is Abandoned as Soon as the Timber Is Removed-School Sec tions Also Said to Be In vaded by the Pirates. ORDGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 18. The attention of the In terior Department has been called to the fact that extensive fraudulent timber op erations are going on on the North and Little Forks of the Coeur d'Alene River in Idaho, and that timber -worth thou sands of dollars Is being cut by persons who are operating -without a shadow of a right. The charges are supported by affi davits of a number of persons who pro fess to have personal knowledge of the fact. It 19 charged that numerous fictitious homestead entries are being filed in the Coeur d'Alene Land Office for the sole purpose of permitting the supposed entry men to strip the land' of its timber. When the timber is gone the entries are aban doned. So bold are the timber men alleged to be that actual settlers who have sought to acquire timber land In this vicinity have been bluffed out by individuals in the employ of the ring. In many instances the lumbermen are cutting the timber from lands that are not even covered by a filing of any sort, and where there has not been even a preteifse at holding a pos eessory right to the land. It Is also charged that these fraudulent operations extend to school sections. It is expected that the department will take early action looking to ascertaining the facts and shutting off these fraudulent operations. WASHINGTON FILES LAND LIST Two Companies Want to Reclaim a Large Tract Under Carey Act. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 18. State Land Commission er Calvert, of Washington, during a con ference with Secretary Hitchcock today, presented the state's selection Of E6.000 acres of seml-arld land In the southeastern part of Yakima County, which Is tempo rarily segregated under "the Carey act, pending a determination of the merits of a project prepared by the Sunnyslde Canal Company for the irrigation of these lands under contract with the state. No action will be taken on the state list for 80 days, but in the meantime the de partment will look into a protest filed by the Taklma Development Company against the approval of the state list. This latter company claims to have a larger and bet ter project than that proposed by the Sunnyslde Company, and alleges that its work, if constructed, will irrigate not only the 56,000 acres but a large tract adjoining In the Yakima "Valley. Commissioner Calvert expressed no pref erence between the two projects, but will at once examine Into both to detenriino their relative merits. He will advlso the Secretary -which. In his opinion, will re claim the largest area of land, on the most reasonable terms. After being presented to the President by Senator Ankeny Com missioner Calvert left for home. DIPLOMATS' PAY TOO SMALL. Assistant Secretary of State, How ever, Finds Consular Service Good. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Having re turned to the United States from a tour of inspection of the consulates of the United. States in England, Holland, Bel glum, France and Germany, Third Assist ant Secretary of State Pierce has sub mitted to the Secretary a report on the general situation as he found it In no case, he says, was the Consul forewarned of his arrival. Ho says on the whole our Consulates in Europe are In excellent condition, and the service compares favorably with that of any other coun try, but many of our Consuls are inadequately compensated. He says there is no little strife among neighboring Consuls for the inclusion of territory Into their respective districts, in order to secure notarial fees, the result being that In place of more harmony, J vbviu. ua turps mm me saiuiary exenango of views between Consuls which should exist, he found the Consuls not only out of harmony, but hardly having relations with one another. This, he says, acts prejudicially to the Interests of persons for whose benefit the Consuls have been given notarial authority. He recommends the abolition of compensation to the Con sul by fees of whatever sort or nature; that all fees be covered into the treasury, and more adequate salaries be paid Con euls. Mr. Pierce regards as unfortunate the appointment of naturalized American cit izens to the country of their origin in a consular capacity, not alone from the fiolnt of view of the government to whom hoy are accredited, which seldom regards Euch appointments with satisfaction but from the point of view of efficiency. The employment of foreign clerks to Consuls ho regards as unwise, as It Is highly prob able that such a clerk, owing allegiance to another government, would find the temptation to reveal matters which might be of the highest Importance a strong one if Inducements were offered him. The report deals with the subject of immigration, and the duties of Consuls in connection therewith, saying they are excessively arduous, Involving Irregular hours, and exposure, not only to tho weather, but to contagious and infectious diseases. By the. terms of the recent law, Mr. Pierce says "the immigrant passenger manifest is nolonger signed by the Con sul or by anybody at the port of arrival. The actual labors, however, of the Con sul In connection with the bill of health and the Inspection of immigrants remains the same. Consequently, he says, after delivering to the captain of a vessel a clean bill of health, it Is entirely possible for rejected Immigrants or others who have not been examined, to be taken aboard after the Consul has left, thus vitiating the entire bill of health. He says that when the cost of bringing eml .Kaats to the United States is considered. y .... ....... ....... .... -t " ; r - wtismmmBW SKi w an t steamship companies can well afford to take the risk of rejection of Immigrants by the authorities on arrival in this coun try. URGES MONEY FOR POSTAL HIRE Wynne Favors an Appropriation to Third-Class Offices. WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. Robert J. Wynne, First Assistant Postmaster-General, In his annual report to the Postmaster-General, recommends that Con gress authorize clerk hire allowance at all third-class postofuces. This, he says, will entail an appropriation of $2,200,000. Mr. Wynne recommends a new classifi cation law for clerks in first and second class postoffices, creating a number of new positions, and abolishing the titles of all clerks below the grade of foreman, simply deslgnaUng as "clerks" employes whose duties are purely clerical. A iump appropriation of $20,000,000 Is asked for clerks at first and second-class offices. In stead of segregating this appropriation into grades of clerks. During the, year the domestic orders Issued amounted to $353.C21,&iS, and the ex cess of receipts from, this source over ex penses paid from the proceeds was J1,934,SS8. Tho receipts at the dead letter office of mall matter of all classes, and from all sources which could not be de livered, deciphered or unmallable, were 10,153,523 pieces, an Increase of 8 per cent. Mr. W.ynno urges legislation to abolish the private letter box abuse In the largo cities, to prevent the boycotting of post offices because of political differences, petty jealousies, etc; to punish the use of a postmarking stamp -for any unlawful or Improper purpose; to bar absolutely In flammable matter from the mails, and to further restrict the mailing of disease germs. MOODY STANDS BY EVANS. Protests of Officers Against Famous Admiral Turned Down. WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. Secretary Moody today announced his decision in tho matter of the protest of Paymaster H. E. Blscoe against tho language used by BearAdmlral Evans, commander-in-chief of tip Asiatic station, in reviewing tho result of the court-martial of Assistant Paymaster Nichols. Aftav ruling that Rear-Admiral Evans, as the convening and reviewing authority of the court-martial In Question, was within the limits of his authority In criticising tha finding of not gulty upon the third charge and pronouncing tho sen tence Inadequate, and in his criticism and animadversion upon the court, Secretary Moody says in conclusion: "It is not to be inferred from this de cision that, although the power of cen sure by the reviewing authority by court martial is clearly shown to exist by an un broken practice of many years, it should be Indiscriminately exercised. It Is to be kept in mind that members of courts martial must bo independent in their ac tion and are not subject, to control. "It Is to be regretted that an occasion has arisen which in the judgment of the reviewing authority demanded so sovere a censure as was lnfiicled in this case. Nevertheless, as the members of the courts must be the judges of the measure of their duty, so the reviewing authority must be the judge of the measure of bis duty. While the exercise of the dlscreUon of the reviewing authority Is uncon-"" trollable, there Is a clear remedy for an abuse of it If it should appear In any case that In tho exercise of his authority of reviewing tho proceedings of courts martlal convened by him, a commander-in-chief had acted capriciously, cruelly, with evident lack of judgment, or from Improper motives; in short. If he had shown himself unfit to be entrusted with the authority which tho law attaches to bis position, tho department has the power to withhold from him that author ity In the Jtuture by hecalling him from his station. "It is, however, considered that la this Instance Rear-Admiral Evans has not shown himself unworthy of the continued confidence of the department. On the con trary, in view of the evidence before the court, without weighing too nicely tho terms of his censure, it is believed he was actuated by a high sense of duty and Inspired by a regard for the honor and -welfare of the service." Government Evidence In. CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 18. The Govern ment today closed its evidence in tho trial of Miller and Johns, charged with conspiracy to extort bribes from John J. Ryan. It Is expected the case will go to the jury tomorrow. Overdue Ship Arrives. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 18.

IT HINGES ON ARBITRATION Willing to Have Wage Question Con sidered, but Not Other Demands of the Men The Team sters Complicate Situation. CHICAGO, Nor. 18. "The prospects for a speedy settlement of the strike of the employes of the Chicago City Railway Company are not as hopeful as they were yesterday." This statement was made by Mayor Car ter H. Harrison tonight, after a day of conferences between the City Council Peace Commission, delegates of the strik ing union, and representatives of the Chi cago City Railway Company. "Whether the difficulty will finally be adjusted by arbitration I am unable to say," continued the Mayor. "Every effort possible was made today to have both sides to the controversy adopt this means of settlement, but without satisfactory result The officials of the company, however, have promised to send me to morrow a more complete statement of their position than they were able to give tonight, but from today's develop ments, I am not so sanguine as I was yesterday that they will agree to tho proposition of arbitration as-submitted by the strikers." The meeting which terminated just be fore Mayor Harrison made his declara tion regarding the dubious prospects of settling the strike was held between the Mayor, President Hamilton and Colonel E. R. Bliss, attorney for the railway company. President Mahon, of the Union, was also invited, but declined to attend, say ing he had no power to settle anything alone, and there was therefore no need of his attending the conference. Tho meeting lasted until 11 o'clock, and tho entiro grounds was gone over. None of the parties to the meeting would say what was done, but It is generally under stood the company stood where It stood at the commencement of the strike, will ing to arbitrate wages, but unwilling to arbitrate the "closed shop," the right of tho union to control tho discharge of em ployes, or the claim of the union to the right of arranging the time and manner of "routing" cars. It was decided tonight by the railway company to start cars tomorrow on the Halstead-street line. This will make the fourth line In operation, the cars having been successfully run on the Wentworth avenue. Cottage Grove-avenue and Indiana-avenue lines. The Halstead cars run through a district where the chances for trouble are many, and if this line can be successfully operated the company will feel confident of being able to resume business in a very short time. The day was tho most quiet of tho strike, tho bitter weather checking tha zeal of the pickets and blockaders. Concerning the possibility of a sympa thetic strike on other street-car lines In Chicago, President Mahon, of the Amal gamated Association of Street Railway Employes, said: "I will not recommend a general strike, but should the proposition be put up for the men to vote upon there is a strong probability they would vote to strike. This is especially true of the Union Traction men, who feel justifiably indig nant over tactics used by their company to aid the City Railway Company in the present strike. Union Traction superin tendents and foremen have been on guard at places where their lines Intersect the City Railway's lines, and in three places that I know of have asked for the arrest of Union Traction men, whom they ac cused of delaying cars of the City Rail way." Except for a few stones thrown, there was no attempt to delay the Indiana avenue cars -on the route, to tho business center. Nelthe? strikers nor their sym pahlzers were present In any great num bers. On the return, however, consider able delay vjas caused by the "short-circuiting" of the line. A rope had been thrown over the trolley wire and a heavy copper wire drawn up until the two met and diverted the current- The obstacle was soon removed. The Wentworth and pottage Grove-avenue cars met with only trifling interfer ence, and carried a largely increased number of passengers. TEAMSTERS TAKE A HAND. Will Refuse to Deliver Any Goods to the" Railway Company. CHICAGO. Ttfmr. 18 TYin TAontfurc' Union took action tonight that may re St. Paul Pioneer Press. sult In one of the most serious labor sit uations ever seen In this city. At a general meeting of the organization it was decided to order all members of the Teamsters' Union to refuse to deliver any articles to tho Chicago Railway Company during the existence of the present strike. It was also decided that if any of the teamsters were discharged by tho employers for refusing to deliver goods to the railway company, a gen eral strike would at once be ordered against the Chicago Employers' Associa tion. A few days since Secretary Job of tho Employers' Association announced that any teamster convicted of blockading the lines of tho street car company during tho present troubles would lose his posi tion. The action of the union tonight is a defiance of the statement made by Sec retary Job. The Teamsters' Union, which Is the strongest labor organization in tho city1, has about 4000 members, and has contracts with practically every estab lishment of prominence in the city that has teams of Its own. NO SOCIALISM FOR IT. Federation of Labor Votes Down the Resolution by Large Majority L BOSTON, Nov. IS. Discussion of tho question as to whether the American Federation 'of Labor should place Itself on record as favoring Socialism was re sumed to-day at the convention of that organization. D. W. Richmond, president of the Rail way Clerks' International Association, to-day declared his organization would withdraw If the Federation adopted so cialistic Ideas. Charles Lavln, of Wllkes barre, argued that there was something wrong with the body politic, and social ism would cure the evils. John Mitchell, president of the United Mineworkers, said he thought it a great mistake if socialist friends attempted to commit the labor organization toN the principles in which they believe. "It would be a sad day. Indeed," Mr. Mitchell concluded, "If trades unions were made the tail end of a political organiza tion." Several speakers followed Mr. Mitchell, all speaking In support of the socialistic resolution. , Delegate Carey addressed the conven tion, making an extended argument in favor of socialism. President Gompers defended tho posi tion of Vice-President Duncan, who had been attacked by Mr. Carey. Mr. Gom pers pointed out that a vote for tho reso lutions would be construed by the world as an indorsement of socialism. Mr. Gompers became very earnest and even bitter in his statements against social ism, and was Interrupted frequently from the floor. In closing, ho said: "I am at variance with your philoso phy. You are unsound, socially you are wrong, and Industrially you are an Im possibility. I have faith in the trade unionist movement, because it is the pro tector of labor to-day, and If emancipa tion comes some time, it must bo through the trade union movement." A great volume of applause followed Mr. Gompers' speech, and tho roll call resulted 21E5 in tavor and 11.2S2 against, which meant that the convention had re fused to commit itself to socialism. The announcement was hailed with cheers. Adjournment was then taken until to morrow. TROOPS FOR STRIKE SCENE. Colorado's Governor Addresses Re- quest to Roosevelt. DENVER, Colo., Nov. IS. Governor Feabody announced tonight that he had been appealed to for troops by the mine owners In the Telluride district, where a strike of the metalliferous miners has been in progress for some time, and he had asked President Roosevelt to send the regulars from Fort Logan. He stated If the President refused ho would order some of the state guard to Telluride to morrow. It Is understood the mlneowners desire to start their mines with nonunion men, and are afraid trouble will follow un less the guards are furnished. dne Large Mine Gives In. DENVER, Nov. 18. The Matchless mine at Erie, principally owned by United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson, and one of the largest coal producers In the northern district, tonight agreed to "grant the eight-hour day and tho new wage scale demanded by the miners. The mine will be reopejied immediately. It is con fidently expected that the desertion of Senator Patterson from the nineowners ranks will force other large" owners In that section to grant the demands of miners. There have teen no new devel opments in the southern district. The union continues to ship out several loads of strikers to other fields every day. Accept Cut In Wages. FALL RIVER, Mass., Nov. 18. The various textile unions met tonight, and after discussion adopted resolutions to accept the new schedule which reduces wages about 10 per cent, The resolutions state that tho time Is not opportune for a, strike. POWER RESTS "IN COURT LEGISLATURE IS NOT TO SAY IF EMERGENCY EXISTS. Reply Brief Filed by Attorney In Suit Testing Validity of Initiative and Referendum. ,R. R. Dun! way, attorney for appellants in the suit nowbefore the Supreme Court testing the initiative and referendum, has filed a reply brief In answer to the brief of the "Friends of the court." The "friends" set forth that the power to declare an emergency for the Immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety, is a legislative not a judicial question, and as such Is to be determined by the law-making body instead of by the courts. Consequently the "friends" argue that "there is no necessity for consider ing any other question 9o far as It affects the Initiative and referendum amendment in this appeal." Hence, the respondents contend that the initiative and referendum is not an issue "In this cas." ane suit originated in a street assess ment made by the city under tho new . charter before the 90-day period had elapsed after adjournment of tho Legls 1 -,a 4-. -J1-. .. . -. Al T ..,. I lature. The charter was put into effect on a declaration of emergency. The plain tiffs, whose property was assessed, main tained that tho assessment was illegal be cause the new charter was not legally In force when tho assessment was made. Mr. Dunlway, in his reply brief, con tends that the power to determine an emergency, under the initiative and ref erendum, rests ultimately in the courts; not in the Legislature. He Insists that tho question whether an act Is or i3 not necessary for the Immediate preservation of the public peace health or safety Is , nunc nn "nf -fnnt- nt tnifh nf rltrVif " a question "or fact, of trutn, ot rignt. "Therefore, the emergency power Is now limited to acts which are In fact, In truth and In right necessary for the Immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety." Respondents cite South Dakota as an example In their favor. That state has adopted tho Initiative and referendum and Its Supreme Court has held the action of the Legislature In declining an emergency Is "conclusive upon the courts." Mr. Dunlway replies that the court de cision in South Dakota does notapply in Oregon, because the constitutional sec tions containing the Initiative and refer endum differ essentially in their wording in the two states. The "friends of the court" whose names appear in their brief are: George H. Williams, John H. Mitchell. J. B Waldo, J. C. Moreland, J. N. Teal, George E. Chamberlain. -C. E. S. Wood. Tilman Ford, George C. Brownell and W. S. U'Ren. P0RTLANDERS W ALASKA. Many Oregonlans Appear in Republi can Convention. Portland men are appearing In numbers In the embryo politics of Alaska. At the Republican convention which was recent ly held In Juneau to elect delegates to the Republican National Convention, Thomas Marquam, son of Judge P. A. Marquam, of Portland, .appeared as a contestant for the post of National committeeman. Upon this appointment the convention split into two camps. The convention was called to order by Oscar Foote, of Juneau, chairman of the district central committee, who proceeded to read the call for the convention. He was interrupted by Marquam, the secre tary of the committee, who moved the election of a temporary chairman. Footo refused to consider the motion and Mar quam put It himself, declaring that it had been carried. Ho then nominated George Irving as chairman, put the motion and declared him elected. Later Foote recog nized a motion that A. V. R. Snyder, o Wrangel, act as chairman, and putting the vote, declared him elected From that time forward pandemonium reigned. Motions and cross motions were advanced, considered and denied consideration each vote being declared carried by one chairman and lost by an other, until finally the members of the Held faction, vjvhlch was opposing Mar quam, withdrew from tho hall. With the Held faction are the following former residents of Portland: W. T. Per kins, J. W. Ivey. W. D. Grant G. M. Irwin, A. Baldwin, F. J. KIngborn, E. C. McCormlck, A. V. R. Snyder, J. E.
