NEW TIMBER LAND BILL UanebrougVs Plan to Sell Timber , Without Lancl Mnst Face Hostile House Committee Coal Land Leasing Bill. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 11. Western men In Con srrsii do not take kindly to President RooBvplt's order holdtnfr up every pub lic land entry, pending .nvestifration of each Individual case by a special B-ent. The Prosfdont. upon advice of Secretary Hitchcock, made thia order Jn the expectation, that Cotigresn, in ordr to relieve tlie congestion, would hastily ftrproprlftto sufficient money to permit the employment of a vast num ber of special aaents. but it seems that no. mich liberality will be shown it the Western men adhere to their pres ent opinion. They are now. In most instances, inclined to believe that the I'rcBldonfs--order was too sweeping and that it will work morf harm than good. Mr. Hitchcock, however, la firmly con vinced that this Is the only way to head off fraudulent entries. But aa one ex perienced "Western Senator asked: "Who Is to guarantee the honesty of several hundred special aprents? .That there la need of an increase in the force of special agents Is not Ques tioned. Conprress of late years has ap propriated $2f0.OOO for this service each year, but that amount Is inadequateand the force la not large enough to handle the work: In hand. Lotble the amount inlgrht profitably be expended annual ly. But the Secretary, on top of the President's order, has asked (or an an- n ual a propria t Ion of $750,000. three times the present allowance, and this request will have rough sledding- this Winter. Ft of lex-1 Ion on AVestern People. Tt Is pointed out by the men who UKe issue vun tne rrcsuient that m- numerable entries can be safely pat ented without uppr-lal Investigation. T hen same men point out that, if there In risk of fraud under present methods, tht manner of examining entrymen and their witnesses mijrht very well he i ri i prove fl . And thin In Itnelf would ob viate many of the difficulties com- plained of. it Is admitted that there are many instances where special aa-ents mlsrht well be employed on en tries that are not satisfactory to local land officers, but that all entries should bp o examined before passing to pat ent is not believed necessary or ad visnble. g Further than this. It Is asserted that the President's order is a. reflection on the Western people, anil this fact alone has aroused a number of Sen ators who are In a position to ob atrnet the proposed appropriation. These men assert tha t men jrenerally ma KiujE homesteads In the West are just as honest as the special agents and, if the special agents can be trust ed, certainly the average settler Is en titled to the same consideration at' the hands .of the Government, Of course. the answer to this is a recitation of the frauds that have been uncovered in the past two years. Must Aw M Hitchcock's Kxlt. An In teres tin pr contest la likely to ensue before this question is disposed of. The President holds the highest trump card, in that he has full author ity to ' suspend all entries until they have been examined. . If We sticks by his order. Congress must either pro- vide for more special agents or it must assume the responsibility for the in comprehensible congestion of business in the General Land Office. An effort will be made to compromise the matter when the new Secretary of the Interior takes offfoe. Tf a compromise can be arranged, the Presldfrnt will modify his , order and Congress will increase the appropriation for special agents. That is the most practical solution of the problem, but a solution that will not be. possible under the administration of Secretary Hitchcock. He will stand out for the President's order until March 4. unless the President of own accord decides to compromise with Congress. cw Timber and Stone Bill. Senator Hansbrough. chairman of the committee on public lands, will renew his fight to secure the repeal of the timber and atone act and the substitution of a law authorising the aale of Government timber at not less Mian its appraised . value. Mr. Hansbroufrh has drawn a new hill which stipulates that the Govern ment shall reserve to itself title to all public timber land and sell only the tim ber. The bill stipulates that persons residing; in the Immediate vicinity of any Government timber land may take, with out cost, not to exceed 100.000 feet.'B, M, in any one year, for their own use for farm and domestic purposes. Timber land jhnll remain cpen to entry under the mln lng and coal land laws, and timbered land chiefly valuable for stone shall be sub' Ject to entry under t he placer mining? la ws. Persons developntar mlnlnir clatn on forest land may cut therefrom not to exceed 100.000 feet, B. .11., In any one year, provided they need such timber in de- vploplng and operating their claims. ' The new Hansbrounh bill stipulates ' tliat all money received from tne sale or Government timber shall be converted into at. special fond. of - which 55 per cent slielt na Bald to the Vtnte. - to be expended In the counties in which the Umber was cut the maintenance of ' schools and roads. This Is In lieu of taxes. .The remainder of the fund.', after deducting1 the cost oC administration, shall go into the reclamation tund wherever the timber i cut in state that are beneficiaries tinder tbe National reclamation law. In other BtatBR the money -will go into tho forest reserv special mud. A a means of protectee Nlblie timber KRHlnst fire', the bill provides a' penalty, of not exceeding KiOOO for person proven TO have carelessly set or left any fire that may damase a y public forest, and tho penalty may be Increased by. the -.addition of Imprisonment for not more than one year. , House Committee Hostile: ' Tt has developed 'that the House -committee on public lands as now constituted 1 not .-favorable to the repeal of the timber and .stone act and the substitu tion , of the plan proposed by Mr. Hans brough. In tact a majority of this com- mittee Is not In sympathy with the Presi- dent on public land law reform and for this reason it seems doubtful If the Mans broujfh bill or any si ml la. r measure can be piuc.sed this Fession. However, the House committee will undergo a chance iu tho next Congresn, snd it Is almost m. certainly, tha,, eorgnleed; com- no mum mfttee will, b In sympathy with thm Prenfdent and will not bloetc bills intended to 1m prove the public land service. Mr. Hansorough may get his bill reported and passed through the Senate, but It Ih Impossible to tliturc out how ti enn force It through the Mouh under exist ing condition. I .casing of Coal, Oil, Gns Land. CouplM with and veryj similar to the legislation providing for (the disposal of public timber are the various bills now pending proposing to regrulate the une of coh 1. ch h n nd oil on Government land. There are many bills for this purpose, all drawn along one general line. In the main they propose that the Government shall rtin title to coal, oil and Bras-bearing: land and hll permit the development of their resources on a royalty basis. This land is now tied up under a sweep ing withdrawal ordered by the President, and until some sort of legislation is en acted it will be Impossible for private capital to get hold of and develop the coal, gas .ami oil resources on anypart of the public domain. The President favors the leasing or royalty system, and It Is In his power to. force Congress to ac cept bis suftsrestfon Just as he holds the key- to the situation regarding all manner of public land entries. He is Inclined at this time to stand pat on the coaland problem and wait for Congress to act. r ' WjgjW8aMHrqM v- It! - ' iiii.teiSvifej&gaa CongTfURman William Aidrn Smith, Future Senator From Michigan. If no legislation Is put through this Winter. It will be forced in the next Con- (rrw. for the tylnsr up of all Govern. mcnt coal land for an interminable period will prove a serious thing. Just what sort of coal leasing proposi tion will ultimately be adopted is a mat ter for conjecture, but that such a law Will he enacted seems reasonably cer tain. PORTLANDS ARE VICTORS Defeat Oregon Team In IIay-Off of Bowling Tournament. In one of the most hotly contested bowi ng matches or the Portland Bowline League tournament the Portland team ast night defeated the Oregons. winning the tournament in a heart-break. nf? finish. The teams finished one. two in the recent tournament and the play-off was watched by one of the largest crowds of the sea son. In addition to the bowling for the championship there was a battle royal between C. J. McMonies and O. J. Kruse for the high average. McMonies entered the contest last night beaten, but by al most matchless bowling- ran his score up to within three pins of Kruse. I p to the last two frames It looked as If McMonies would win, and thereby cap ture the handsome 18 ball which -w hurt? as the prize. In the ninth frame McMonies knocked down eight pins and this lost him the high average. Kruse finished the tournament with an average or ma. Just before . the tournament started Markey Schlussel, who has been acting as referee, was presented with a handsome fro Id watch fob. The grift was a. surprise to Marky and for once in his life, that all around lover of sport and baseball fan, lost the power of speech. The teams started the final run for the championship with Portland team having won 38 games and lost seven. Oregon had won 36 games and lost nine. When the ilrst set was played Oregon won by the close score or i, while the best Portland could do was 9H. After this Portland took a decided brace and won the next two games. The final scores were: Portland 911. lofiO, 302; total. 2963. Oregon 319, 924, 877; total, 2720. TRAINS ARE SNOWBOUND Heavy Storm in North Dakota Blocks - Traffic on Great 3tortl?erii. ST. PAUL.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11 The New Jersey lesriaiature will probably be asked to pass a, special act to make it possible to ex- ecute frank Banulsck, the convicted murderer of Thomas Hoff. of Bloomfleld. The law specifies that the Sheriff must carry out the death sentence In person. but he Is 111 in Florida, and the County Prosecutor fears that the execution will not be legal until the Sheriff is 'present SAND HOGS FALL ILL Dread Caisson Disease At tacks Bridge Builders. IS FORM OF PARALYSIS Cases "Reported Among? Portland . Scuttle Workmen at Swan Island Xot Serious Only One La borer in Hospital. The much dreaded caisson disease, com monly known as the "bents" has made Its appearance among the "land hofes" at work In the caissons of the . Willamette River bridge now being build below Swan Island for the Portland & 8eattle Railway. One man has been sent to the Northern Pacific hospital at Tacoma, while others. slightly affected; have recovered from -the 'first attacks and are again at work. While sealing- the first ca.lsori sunk. which was for the foundations for Pier No. 5. the disease made its appearance. The men were then working- at a depth of .50 feet below the surface and were sub- jected to a very heavy pressure from the air pumps- Some complained of severe paJnA in the limbs which were only felt when they came out of the air locK after working a shift at the bottom of the river. In some cases the 111 effects disappeared after remaining out of the workings for a few days, In others, the disease grew worse' and one man was so 'bad he had to be conveyed to the Ta coma hospital. The caisson disease is one of the worst with which physicians have to deal. When fully developed, it does not yield to any known treatment. It frequently results in almost total paralysis, which is given the technical name of "caisson paralysis." Jr'or this there is no cure known. The ailment has baffled the medical profession ever since pneumatic workings have been Introduced In sinking founda tions. The cause of the disease is also mysterious. Some who have studied It say It Is brought about by the hlfth pres sure of air cutting off the -blood supplv to parts of the body. When the workman comes out Into tlie normal air pressure above ground, the forcing of the blood through the emptj- veins causes the most intense suffering. Others have maintained that the cause of the disease Is entirely mental and those attacked have become frightened by the unusual condi tlona under which they work. Officials who are directing the building of the Portland1! Seattle bridsre contend the disease need not be feared by men who take the proper care, of themselves. Some Invite the disease by the use of intoxicants which are said to be one of the most prolific causes of catfson sickness. Special arrangements for the health of workmen have been made on the pressure scows, which are moored alongside the caissons of the Portland & Seattle brldsre. and a.s the men come up aifter finishing: their shifts, they are given baths and strong coffee, which Is useful in restoring normal circulation. Jf a pressure man is not entirely healthy and has some chronic weakness. work In compressed air is likely to ag. gravate the trouble and cause an attack of the "bents. The disease Is attended with acute pain and often results fatally. Work is progressing well on the new bridge despite the drawback of caisson illness. Most of the pressure men are In good physical condition and are work- In! steadily. The caisson ror ner is now being worked, the caisson for Pier 1 has been placed In position and the caisson for Pier 2 has been launched readv to take out In the stream and start working. Work is coins: forward on the con crete caisson for the pier of Jhe west abutment and piles are being driven for the east abutment. The recent high water In the river hindered . work considerably on account of the largre amount of drift running, but as the stream subsided, work was again carried on as usual. CUTS OFF TOlliiST SLEEPERS Great Northern Train Service lm paired oy Fuel Shortage;- Due undoubtedly to the fuel short asre on the Great Northern and the con sequent need for shortening: trains wherever possible, an order has just been issued by the Great Northern, cut ting: oft tourist sleepers from passen Rcr trains until further notice. Tilt change will become effeotive on th Whole system, it is understood here and will be continued, undoubtedly, durinxr tho remaining; Winter months The order received in Portland states that tourist sleepers will be dropped on all trains west of Whtteflsli, Mont. on Great Northern lines, but this Is meant to include only the territory of the Western officials. The same order has likewise become effective on the Eastern divisions. Considerable surprise has been ere ated In Portland because of the order, and as no reason was given, guesses were being; made yesterday as to the cause for the change. Some thougrht the tourist traffic might have been temporarily suspended because the cars were 'to be sent to the shops to be re fitted, but this would not cause t n whole service to be given up. Local Great Northern officials can not even hazard a gruess wheh the service -will be resumed. FUEL OIL GROWS DAXGEROl'S Another Explosion Occurs on Lines of the Harrlman System. Another railway accident res nit J from the explosion of fuel oil on the Onegon lines or tlie Harrlman system occurred yesterday morning: near Cas cade Locks on. the O. Pt. &. The ol In the tanks of the tender exploded setting fire to a car or hops and de st roving It. The tender was also dam a tared. The loss to equipment will t about c00. The accident, it . la sui nosed, was caused by the poor quaiii of the fuel. Since the fuel shortage began, it said, the oil used la more volati than formerly, Jt -being" the- custom of the oil companies to eke out the sup- ply o crude petrol earn by mixing in liarhter oils. The other accident caused by oil explosion was on a Southern fa.- clflc train early this week, when a mall car was burned at Junction City. Interrupts Streetcar Service. Trouble with the dynamos on the high tension side in the Oregon city power plant of the Portland! Railway, ijght & Power Company caused a break tn the streetcar service yesterday afternoon for a short time. The O. W. T. lines were the hardest hit and were out of commis sion for about W minutefi. The Portland Weights line could feet no power for 20 minutes "and" the other city lines were Ue, up Xor snorter uerioda. -Tho break in the er'ice came at 5 o'clock and on that account many were delayed in Setting' home.

President in-leer, of the Jamestown Ex do si t ion Board, has - received letters and tele- grams from nearly every one of the members of the advisory committee of the Exposition excepting those who signed the protest against the alleged: undue promin.ence to be given to the military and naval features of the Gov ernment exhibit. All of these corre spondents take exception vigorously to the criticism Implied In the protest of the dozen signers to the published statenpen t, and as there are 100 mem bers of the advisory committee, the exposition authorities feel that they are privileged to regard the protest aa failing to set out the views of any con siderable part of the committee. Mr. Tuclter meanwhile is earnestly at work personally at the War arid Navy Departments, doing all he can to induce the officials to hasten the arrange ments for .the encampment and the naval display which it is intended shall be one of the most novel and attractive features.
