SHEEPMEN INCENSED THEM
Inspector's Report Vindicates Agent.
Indians Angry Because Prevented
From Levying Toll Complaint
Came From Turbulent.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 25. The charges recently pre
lered by about 40 Umatilla Indians against
Major O. E. Edwards, superintendent of
Uielr agency, have fallen flat, and what
promised to be a sensation, If not a scan
dal, has completely collapsed. Immediate
ly upon receipt of the charges, Indian
Commissioner Leupp sent one of his In
spectors to Umatilla to make an Investi
gation. The report of this Inspection has
been received, and is a complete vindica
tion of Major Edwards. In view of this
report, the charges will be dropped and
the case Willi be considered closed.
The Indians were dissatisfied with the
manner in which Major Edwards was
handling their funds, and were particu
larly Incensed because he had, upon au
thority from Washington, permitted Uma
tilla County sheepmen to drive their flocks
across the reservation without first ob
taining the consent of the Indians. Their
dlsgruntlement was evidently due to the
fact that they were not deriving any reve
nue from the sheepmen for this privilege.
The other charges were found to be ab
solutely without Justification. In fact,
when the Inspector went to the bottom of
affairs, he discovered that the charges
were made solelv by Indians who had
been held in check by Major Edwards
whenever thev attempted to override the
regulations and disregard discipline. The
protests were the outgrowth of personal
animosity on the part of a few Umatillas.
The Inspector failed to discover any gen
' eral desire on the part of the Indians to
don their war-paint; ' Indeed, he foufid
nothing to-Justify the presence of troops
to protect Major Edwards or Government
property. The Indians of lawless proclivi
ties havlne subsided, there is now noth
ing to Indicate that any serious trouble is
brewing.

HER PRELIMINARY HEARING
Alleged Diamond Thief Will Appear
In Municipal Court.
Nellie Davis, alias Hatfield, alias Gran
ger, alleged to toe a diamond thief, wsiom
the police captured a few days ago, will
be brought into Municipal Court next
Tuesday for her preliminary hearing.
Stolen articles found in her possession
have been positively Identified by four
women who saw Mrs. Davis leave their
houses.
The prisoner has retained Attorneys
Moody and Wolf to defend her. She says
that when her case comes to trial she will
be able to account for the jewels in her
possession. Confinement is telling upon
Mrs. Davis, and she spends most of her
time weeping and calling for her daugh
ter, who was taken from her and placed
In the hands of the Juvenile Court.
Under the name of Lottie Hatfield, alias
Granger, the woman was arrested in Ta
coma about two weeks ago by Detective
Fitzgerald, who recognized her as a clever
woman thief known to the police as Lot
tie Hatfield. Several houses in the resi
dence section of Tacoma, particularly
Sixth avenue, had been robbed, supposed
ly by a "mysterious woman In black,"
who always came on a mission of search
ing for rooms. Soon after her departure
the Jewelry would be missed. Seven Ta
coma women Identified Lottie Hatfield as
the person who had called at their houses
for rooms.
While morally certain that It was she
who had stolen the Jewelry, the police
were unable to obtain direct evidence of
this. She was released and ordered out
of town. It is probable that some of the
Jewelry recovered was stolen from Ta
coma homes. -

SANITARY PACKING HOUSES
Provides for Labeling Inspected Meat
for Home as Well" as Foreign
Use President Talks Very
Plainly to Packers. '
WASHINGTON, May 25. The Senate to
day passed the agricultural appropriation
bill, carrying an appropriation of $7,800,
000, and, without a word of debate or an
objection from " any source, added to It
as an amendment the bill providing for
an inspection of fresh meats Intended for
domestic consumption. '
The provision is along the general lines
of the law for the inspection of meats
intended to be shipped abroad, and the
work is delegated to the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry. It requires that acceptable
meats shall .be labeled, and authorizes
the destruction of condemned products.
It also, authorises inspection of all- ani
mals before they enter the packing
houses, requires that . those establish
ments shall be maintained in a sanitary
condition, gives the Inspectors access to
all departments of them, "and forbids in
terstate commerce in fresh meats which
are not marked by the inspeotor. The
expense of the inspection is to be borne
by the owners, and a fine of $10,000 and
Imprisonment for two years are fixed as
penalties , for the violation of the pro
vision. .
The greater part of the time spent on
the agricultural bill was devoted to a pro
vision for a Government-inspection of
grain. McCumber made an effort to have
the measure so amended as to require
the issuance of certificates of. such In
spection, but failed.
A number of other bills were passed.
The sea-level Panama canal bill was
made the unfinished business.
The message of the House, declining to
accept the Senate amendments to the
railroad-rate bill was received, but the
9enate conferees were not named. The
Senate adjourned until Monday. .
CLEAX VP PACKING HOUSES
President Defines Policy and Pack
ers Invite Him to Act.
WASHINGTON, May 25. The condition
of some of the packing-houses at Chicago
was severely criticised by President Roose
velt yesterday during an interview
with W. E. Skinner and W. L. Carlisle,
representing the livestock interests of
the country, and Representatives Mad
den, of Chicago; Cox, of New York,
and Brooks, of Colorado. Mr, Skinner
is the representative of the Union
Stock Yards Company at Chicago and
Mr. Carlisle is dean of the National
Agricultural College of Colorado.
Theae men, at the request of the
livestock Interests all over the coun
try, conferred with the packers on
Monday and then came to Washington
to see the President. ' The President
announced that he proposed to see
conditions of which complaints have
been made in the packing-houses
changed as- promptly as possible, that
the buildings should be' remodeled in
order to obtain better ventilation and
more light; that ample facilities should
be provided for employes far enough
removed from the rooms in which
meat is prepared to prevent contami
nation, and that there should be lava
tories to insure personal cleanliness.
Mr. Skinner assured the President that
if the President would appoint a com
mission of high-grade scientific sani
tation experts, including one practical
man versed in inspection and animal
husbandry, the packers would be glad to
adopt any suggestions the commission
might make. He urged the President to
appoint a National sanitary committee,
which should be authorized to deal with
the whole subject of food products. He
represented that it was unfair to sin
gle out one industry to the exclusion
of all others and make it a subject of
criticism so as to injure it throughout
the world.
The President's concern, however, is
to secure fresh, clean, uncontam
lnated meat for the American people
and to remove the suspicion which ex
ists abroad regarding United States
meat products, which necessarily af
fects the extent of the sales. He as
sured bis callers he was most anxious
the industry should not be disastrous
ly affected. At the same time he said
he intended to see that proper sani
tary conditions existed, and he wanted
it to be distinctly understood, once
the conditions were established, he
would not permit any iet-up in their
enforcement.
SETTLE ALL CLAIMS FOR CASH
Root's Plan for Disposing of Dis
putes With Britain.
WASHINGTON. May 25. Secretary
Root is having made a careful study of
the respective claims of Britain against
America and America against Britain
with a x-lew to mutual adjustment. If that
is possible. He believes that the matter
might be arranged by direct negotiation,
and a balance struck and paid in cash by
the party found to have the best of the
claims. Because the executive has no
power to bind the legislative branch of
our Government, which alone can appro
priate the money necessary to meet and
pay off an adverse balance. It Is probable
that the agreement between the negoti
ators must provide that the judgments
reached shall be subject to the approval
of the Congress here and of Parliament
in England.
The obstacle in the way of agreement is
the famous Frederick Gearing case. This
American fishing vessel was seized a
number of years ago in a Canadian port
for alleged violation of the fishing laws.
and in spite of a vigorous protest by this
Government, was condemned and sold and
no restitution made to the owners. The
New England Senators contend that no
agreement shall be made that does not
provide first of all for the adjustment of
this claim. The British government, how
ever, asserts that the matter is res adju
dicata; that the case was tried out thor
oughly in the Canadian courts, and that
no negotiations can succeed if they are to
revert to what they term dead Issues of
that kind.

REASONS FOR SERVICE PENSION
Campbell Says It Would Save. House
Much Time.
WASHINGTON, May 2S. The attention
of the House was called to the need of
a service pension bill today by Campbell
(Kan.), who said that if some service
pension bill were adopted the semi-month
ly recurrence of pension day" would be
a thing of the past. He urged the pas
sage of bis bill, giving all persons who
served 90 days or more in the military of
naval service of the United States and
who have been honorably discharged
therefrom a pension of $13 per month.
His bill also amends the act of June
27, 1890, by making the minimum pension
under the act $12 and the maximum $18.
The bill further provides a pension of $30
per month for Civil War veterans who
are now suffering from blindness, paraly
sis, rheumatism or accident resulting In
the loss or crippling of limbs.
He suggested that the pension days
seriously Interfered with other matters
in which the country was interested, and.
in view of the fact that the amount
carried by private pension bills contrib
uted much to the grand total of the
pensions appropriation bill, it would be
economy on the part of Congress to en
act such legislation. '
De Armond also favored a service pen
sion bill, but thought hi bill In some
particulars was better adapted for the
purpose than Campbell's bill. - -
Ten States Will Not Join Maneuvers.

states have declined the Invitation
sent out by Assistant Secretary of War
Oliver to send some of their National
Guurd organizations into camp with
the regular troops this Summer. Colo
rado has declined because the guard is
too much scattered about the state to
admit of easy concentration. The ap
proaching trials for murder of the la
bor leaders In Idaho have made it pr
dent for the authorities to retain the
entire force of militia within the lim
its of t.he state, ready for any upris
ing against the legal authorities. Cal
ifornia reports that the experience of
the state troops In guarding San Fran
cisco and other places devastated by
earthquake and fire and the expense to
which the state has been put make it
inexpedient to join in the regular

MAJORITY IN HIS FAVOR
Senate Commltttee Again Delays Ac
tion Despite Rumors and Threats
of Opposition False Report
About Republican Policy.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 25. The Senators leading
the fight against Smoot of Utah are ex
tremely sore at their defeat. Following
the reports they started yesterday, they
today gave currency to a rumor that the
Republican Congressional Committee has
served notice on the Republicans of the
Senate to the effect that a report on the
Smoot case will cost the Republican
party many Congressional districts in the
West, Including the Oregon districts,
whereas, if the Smoot case is not report
ed, the Mormon Church will agree to
elect Republicans to the next House.
This is a pure fabrication and Indicates
the extreme to which the opposition has
been driven.
From inquiry among Senators today it
would appear that the majority of the
committee. Instead of being opposed to
Smoot, will probably report in his fa
vor. KrKrx, Dolliver and Hopkins, who
were counted as against Smoot, have in
formed their colleagues that they favor
him, and these three, with Pettus, who
unexpectedly declared himself friendly to
Smoot, will make a majority for the
Mormon Senator.
As heretofore stated, the attempt to
keep the Smoot case in committee is be
ing made by the defeated antl-Smoot
Senators, not by his friends.
COMMITTEE MAY TIE ON SMOOT
Action Delayed Awaiting Absentees,
Though Dubois Angrily Protests.
"WASHINGTON, May 25. No vote was
had today In the Senate committee on
privileges and elections on the right of
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, to retain
his seat In the Senate, because it devel
oped that in the numerous changes of
date for the meeting Senators Hopkins
and Dolliver failed to receive their no
tices, that- action was to be taken today.
Both of these Senators, as well as Sen
ators Depew, Bailey and Frazier, were
absent. The three last named, however,
had left proxies. The committee ad
journed until Friday next.
Opposition to voting at the present ses
sion was voiced by three or four Senators,
who said that the railroad-rate bill had
taken o much of their time that they
had not had an opportunity to read the
authorities quoed by the attorneys on
both sides of the case in making their
final arguments. On his account, they
complained that they were not in a posi
tion to vote Intelligently.
Chairman Burrows and the Democratic
Senators present objected to. permitting
the case to go over until next session,
arguing that the Senators could read the
authorities next week. Notices of the
meeting to be held on Friday have been
ordered mailed on Monday, in order that
there may be no misunderstanding con
cerning it. .
It Is known that Depew cannot be pres
ent, and. If all of the others are in at
tendance, the vote may result in a tie.
Depew has sent his proxy to the chair
man, but the committee has not con
sented to accept it. If it Is voted, the
decision will be against Smoot. If it is
excluded, the result depends vipon Dolli
ver, who has not made his position
known,
After the committee had discussed for
some time the proposition to defer action
In the Smoot case. the Hale resolution
Instructing the committee to inquire Into
the status of proceedings against Burton
was referred to. Dubois objected stren
uously to having the Smoot case side
tracked, saying:
"If the members of the committee think
the country is more interested in turn
ing out poor Burton than in acting upon
charges against an apostle of polygamy,
they are greatly mistaken." '
He predicted, that the committee would
hear from the country before next Fri
day as the result of the delay.

Cause.
The same trouble will therefore recur

Nonunion Men Work Mlnej.
SMITHFIELD, O.. May 25 A night of
constant alarms and wild rumors at the
Plum Run mine was followed by a day
of apparent peace. Work was resumed
this morning without mishap. The non
union men entered the pits early, before
the strikers were astir. The force of
guards will be increased and it Is an

the mine will be recruited as rapidly as
possible with nonunion men.

contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges

This Is why, with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding
time instead of increased, as It
must be with all succeeding doses
of other Cathartics and Laxatives.'
