BURTON LEADS ENEMIES River and Harbor Chairman Has Backing of Roosevelt in Effort to '"Depose Ohio Boss Tart's Fate Is at Stake. OREGONIaX news bureau, Washington, March 27. The Taft crowd in Ohio Is determined to "do up" Senator Foraker, not alone as a Presidential candidate but as United States Senator as well. This does not mean that the Secretary of War iB Lading a fight against Mr. Foraker, for he is not. But the men who are backing what is known as the Taft boom are planning to depose Mr. For aker and retire him from office. They want to kill two birds with one stone. At the present time Mr. Foraker lias the controlling hand In the Ohio Republican organization. He may not be able to retain control, but he will let the opposition know it has a fight on its hands when it actually begins warfare, as is shown by his challenge issued yesterday. No matter what is said of the motives that actuate Mr. Foraker, he is a hard fighter and a fair fighter and he always lights in the open and to the last ditch. Morever, he is a practiced politician; 'he knows his battleground as well as his ad versaries, and he will be no mean foo to conquer. Burton Leads Tart's Fight. But that does not deter the Taft crowd. It is organizing under the lead of a man of the highest intergrity: a man who up to two years ago was not a mighty factor in Ohio politics, though Ohio's most influential member of the House of Rcpresentatives.Congressman Burton, chairman of the river and har bor committee. Mr. Burton has not been a political "scrapper." He won his first election, made good, and has been repeatedly returned. But in the last campaign Mr. Foraker marked him for the slaughter and did his utmost to defeat the Cleveland Congressman. That aroused Mr. Burton, and he took off his Croat and did a few stunta that amased Mr. Foraker, at the same time winning his admiration, for Mr. For aker recognizes a good fighter when he meets him. and respects a man who beats him in a contest. Has Backing or Roosevelt, Having demonstrated his ability to hold bis seat in Congress in spite of Foraker's opposition, Mr. Burton has decided to square accounts with the Senator by car rying the war into Mr. Foraker's camp. Today Mr. Burton is leader of the Taft movement in Ohio and is likewise leader In a movement Intended to dethrone Mr. Foraker as boss and retire him from the Senate. While he never before had much of a reputation as a righting politician, Mr. Burton has already demonstrated that he has the strength and the discre tion to lead a telling fight, and many ex pect to see him win out. Much of Mr. Burton's strength in his fight with Mr. Foraker comes from the unqualified Indorsement he receives from the President. Mr. Foraker has no more determined foe than President Roosevelt, and no man is more anxious to seek Mr. Foraker turned out of the Senate than Mr. Roosevelt. Likewise, it may be said that Mr. Roosevelt, more than any other man, is anxious to prevent Mr. Foraker's nomination for the Presidency. Holding these views and at the same time enter taining the kindliest feeling for Mr. Taft, the President naturally sympathizes with Mr. Burton and, if he can not give him his active support, he can at least give his sympathy and his moral support. Preliminary Skirmish ror 1908. Ohio today presents a more interesting political situation than any other state in the Union. It is doubly interesting be cause of the Taft boom. If Mr. Burton wins out agalpst Mr. Foraker, Taft stock will take a tremendous Jump, but if Mr. Foraker can hold his leadership and con trol, he can deal a hard blow to the Taft boom. Interest in the fight is enlivened because of the relations that exist be tween Mr. Foraker and the President. It will be a long fight and it goes with out saying that it will be a hard fight, and. no matter how it terminates. It will affect the next Presidential campaign and will have a marked effect on the next Republican National convention. Mr. Foraker is up against a hard combina tion and he knows It and, inasmuch as his own political future depends largely upon the termination of the contest, it Is to be expected that he will put forth his best efforts to save himself. EVERSON TURNS UP ALIVE at Kioto, Japan. In the party with Mr. and Mrs. Smith were the Duke and Duchess of Manchester. James Henry Smith and Mrs. Stewart were married at Newtonmore, the resi dence of Mr. Anthony Drexel, Mrs. Stewart's brother-in-law, at Kingussie, Scotland, last September. James Henry Smith was known as "Silent" Smith, and was regarded as the richest bachelor In the "400." He inherited the bulk of his great fortune from George Smith, an uncle, of Chi cago, who through successful manipu lations as a stock operator had accum ulated more than JSO,03D,000. The uncle died in London in 1899. He was a bach elor and all his vast wealth was left to "Silent Jim." who was at that time reputed to be several times a million aire. George Smith, the founder of the great fortune, was one of the pioneer bankers of Chicago and the- Northwest. He waa a native of Scotland, and came to America in 1833. locating in Chicago, just before the beginning of the boom period in that city. He made his money in banking and real estate and "Silent Jim" doubled his fortune on Wall street. John Brislin, Inventor. PITTSBURG. March 27.

Stock Held as Security ror Huge Sum Lent to American Stampede to Sell Resulted. LONDON, March 28. The financial ex pert of the Dally Mail has written a story of the recent financial crisis which, he says, is accepted in reliable quarters. "One of our big banks," the writer says, "had lent a large sum to one of the American magnates, the security be ing mainly Union Pacifies. The bank decided this loan should be repaid, but, on meeting with refusal. It resolved to liquidate the securities by selling the Union Pacific shares In its possession. An attempt to get rid of them in large blocks on the other side of the Atlantic by private negotiation failed, and con sequently a very large quantity was put upon the market. . - "Those knowing these circumstances formed the natural conclusion that ! trouble would ensue, and sold other se curities. The resultant fall in prices and the all-around collapse caused many dif ficulties among stock exchange firms, in cluding one of the highest standing. In this case, however, the account was tak en over by a big Anglo-American house, with the assistance of all that Is most powerful in finance." DANGEARQUNDBODY Roumanian Peasants Tear Army Officer to Pieces. BLOODY BATTLES FOUGHT London Market Is Advancing. LONDON, March 27. Two failures were announced upon the stock exchange to day, but neither of them was of any im portance from the market point of view. The tone in -all the departments was de cidedly more cheerful. Americans fully responded to yesterday's sharp advance in New York. No serious trouble is antici pated. The action of Secretary of the Treas ury Cortelyou in relieving the money sit uation in New York by depositing In the banks there customs receipts to the ex tent of $15,000,000, has proved of interna tional value. Business is still restricted, as attention is mostly taken up with the conclusion of the settlement. Americans opened a good deal above parity and ad vanced from the start. There was a slight reaction at the start, but it was only fractional. Consols were firm at 85?i, with an improving tendency. At Hot Spring's. HOT SPRINGS, March 27. Dan A.

BERLIN. March 27. According to the Czernowitz correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger, the situation in Wallachia grew worse yesterday. The number of persons killed daily is growing enormously. Three hundred persons have been killed in an encounter between peasants and the military at Stareskle and there have been two bloody battles at Nastanestlr, in one of which Lieutenant Jonisou was killed. The peasants tore the body of the lieu tenant to pieces and danced around the bloody remnants to wild music Some atrocities are reported from the districts of Dimbrovitz and Dolji. where numerous villages and farms have been burned. The longshoremen are fraternizing with the peasants. The Prefect of Galatz has ordered all the shops closed for three days and the people are in a wild panic GOVERNMENT OFFERS RELIEF Promises to Reform Land Laws. Rebels Battle With Troops. BUCHAREST, Roumania, March 27. The measures proposed by the govern ment to meet the demands of the revolt ed peasantry and to end the civil war, which is devastating Moldavia and Wal lachia, were announced In today's issue of the Official Gazette in tie shape of a proclamation Issued in the name of King Charles. The royal proclamation appeals for the patriotic co-operation of the people to se cure the re-establishment of tranquility, and announces that the sovereign has agreed to the immediate suppression of some of the heavy taxes. Hereaftqg- lands will be cultivated by the state or leased direct to the peasants. None of the larg er syndicates hitherto engaged in farm ing vast tracts of land will be allowed to hold more than 8000 acres. The document also gives notice of the Introduction of laws to ameliorate the condition of the peasantry, facilitating the raising of money to pay rents, re forming the taxation of small holdings and revising the terms of the agricultural agreements which at present practically enslave the peasantry. "The reforms," the proclamation con cludes, "being the desire of the govern ment, all Roumanians are urged to give all possible assistance to the govern ment which, while scrupulously applying the laws and avoiding the Injustice, will at the same time vigorously suppress all disorders and severely punish all who seem to profit by robbery." The Minister of the Interior announcea today that the situation in Moldavia had improved, but there is not much evidence in support of the statement in the re ports of disorders coming from numerous points. From the districts of Vlashica, Buzen, Dolj, Olt ana Teieorman, come the now familiar stories of incendiar ism, pillage and excesses of all kinds. The censorship is strict with the result that details of the occurrences are lack ing. ( The workmea. in the petroleum districts are also In a stste of excitement, but the authorities believe that the measures taken will prevent disorder among them. Platoons of troops have been concen trated here to protect the capital, and reinforcements are being distributed in the disturbed sections of the country as speedily as possible. The new Cab'net Ministers propose to make a tour ot the country and person- ally superintend the measures taken in order to end the agitation. Forty peasants were killed March 25 in a hard fight ''with troops in the Mezazi district. The Insurgents in that section cut to pieces and burned some of their victims. i A stubborn encounter occurred yester day at a point about 60 miles from Bu charest, where 4000 Insurgents met a strong detachment of troops. The troops attacked with cavalry and infantry, bnt the military commander ultimately was obliged to use artillery before he was able to force the peasants to retreat. The Chamber of Deputies today unani mously passed bills providing for the abo lition of several taxes and adopted other measures helpful to the rural population of Roumania. The Premier announced that according to the latest reports, ithe Agrarian dis orders are subsiding. Order generally has been restored in the province of Moldavia, but fresh dis turbances have occurred In the Dolj! dis trict and several other places in Walla, chla. The disorders at Nzacenl have been suppressed by the killing or wounding of 25 men. At this point the troops dispersed 500 incendiaries. " MANX PEASANTS ARE KILLED Bloody Conflict at Several Towns, but Order Gradually Restored. VIENNA, March 27. Press dispatches received from Czernowitz, on the Molda vian frontier, say conditions in certain parts of Roumania are still most serious. Grave disorders are reported on the es tates of King Charles at Poina and troops bave been sent to the royal domains. It is said large numbers of peasants have been killed in conflicts near Brail and Papulesca and it appears that a large number of rioters, on trying to enter the town of Galatz were repulsed by soldiers near the village of Losaveni with a loss of 20 men killed, after which the peasants turned their attention - to Braila. Sanguinary fighting is reported also at Vlasta, near Stareskie, and at Craiova, but these reports probably refer to occur rences of Monday and Tuesday, as owing to the censorship all dispatches have to be mailed to the frontier. Information reaching here late tonight Indicates that peace is being slowly re stored. It is feared, however, that one result of the disturbances will be the ne glect of tillage and a consequent dearth of wheat next Winter, with diminishing exports that will mean a financial calam ity to Roumania. Ask Hungary to Intervene. BUDA PEST, March 27. The Muni cipal Council today passed a resolu tion calling the attention of the gov ernment to the danger in which Hun garian - residents of Roumania find themselves, and asking it .to Inter vene with the Roumanian government with the view of putting an end to the state of anarchy in that country.

Then the gas caught fire and has been burning ever since. At one place a sheet of flame 20 feet long and 15 feet high is blazing.
