THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1907. 11 PLANS TO Hi MONOPOLY A. W. Lafferty Goes to Wash ington to Seek Aid From High Officials. GOVERNMENT SHOULD SUE Young Lawyer Will Ask Conimis feioner Balllnger to Have Rail roads Declared Trustees for Actual Settlers and Ousted. Believing that the Oregon & California Railroad can be ousted from its remain ing S,OOv,i00 acres of granted lands for re fusal to dispose of them at $2.50 en acre to 'actual settlers," according to the terms of the trust under which the railroad received the lands from the United Stales. A. W. Lafferty, a young lawyer of Portland, set out for Washing ton, last night, to persuade Senator Uourne, Attorney-General Bonaparte, Secretary Gaifielu. Land Commissioner Balllnger ana i. t-ier Administration of ficials that the surest way of opening the lands to settlement is to take them away from the railroad, first through a court decision, holding the railroad to be a trustee of the lands and not fee simple owner, and second, through a court or der, removing the railroad from the trusteeship, and appointing new trustees, eay three prominent and disinterested citizens. Lafferty remarked that he believed suits brought by individual citizens to ob tain land from the railroad would fall and that the Government is the only plaintiff that can successfully bring suit to force the railroad to let go Its grip. - Formerly In Government Service. Lafferty was formerly special agent In the Northwest for the General Land Of fice and claims to tmve sufficient knowl edge of the land laws to warrant his opinion about the railroad holdings. Ho said that while private land matters were the first object of his mission, he intend ed to devote a large part of his time to the railroad lands. Said he: 'There is a general demand through out Western Oregon for the enforce ment of the terms of this grant. Many citizens have even taken steps to insti tute suits upon their own account, but my private opinion Is that all such individual suits will fall. I am also convinced that all transfers of these lands made to Innocent purchasers heretofore for a valuable consideration will be upheld by the courts. But if the railroad company can be forced to even partially comply with the terms of the act of Congress, and shall be required to sell the remaining 3,000,000 acres of said lands according to the terms of the grant, then a great deal will have been accomplished. And I am sure that this can be done. But It cannot be done, in my- opinion, upon the suit of any private citizen. It will have to be done, if at all, by the Gov ernment itself. "When the railroad company accepted these lands under the terms of the grants It became a trustee, holding a beneficial interest In the trust estate. The com pany la now a trustee of said estate, and still holds only a beneficial Interest therein, and does not own the fee simple title thereof. But the railroad company denies the existence of any trust. It repudiates the trust. It refuses to carry out the trust. Therefore, if the Govern ment will bring a suit In equity In the United States Court for the District of Oregon, and shall be successful In es tablishing the existence of the trust, then the court will have jurisdiction to enforce- by Its decree the carrying out of the trust. It can declare by Its decree that the railroad company is trustee of said lands. Court Can Go Further. "The court can go further than this. It can order the removal of the railroad company as such rustee. If It finds that said company is hostile to the trust or has repudiated it, or has refused to carry It out. And the court will have Juris diction to appoint disinterested trustees, ay three prominent citizens of the Uni ted States, and vest in them the power to go ahead and dispose of said lands according to the terras of said grants and to turn over to the railroad company such portion of the proceeds as It may he entitled to under the law. This Is the kind of a suit I shall urge the De partment of Justice to bring." Lafferty said he will urge upon the Commissioner of the Land Office the prompt approval of Oregon surveys which are now held up. Much of these lands In regard to which the surveys have failed to receive the approval of the Secretary of the Interior are subject to conflicting claims. In many Instances, citizens are claiming these lands under settlement rights, while at the same time the Northern Pacific Railroad Company has filed lieu selection lists Including the name lands. In such cases when the survey Is finally approved both the squat ters and the railroad company will claim the land. "The Department of the Interior, by holding back its approval of the survey of these lands." said Mr. Lafferty, "is playing directly Into the hands of the rail road' company. Many of these surveys have been held up for the past five years. As a result, hundreds of settlers became discouraged and abandoned their claims. The result will be that as soon as the surveys are approved the title to all such abandoned claims that are Included in the railroad company's lieu selection lists will at once vest In the company. I am sure that the Interior Department had no intention of benefiting the railroad company in holding up these surveys, but the fact remains that It has done so. I am confident that Judge Balllnger. Commissioner of the Land Office, will see to it that these surveys are promptly approved when his attention is called to the conditions. Help Slletz Settlers. "November 14, 1903, a blanket order was Issued by the Secretary of the In terior suspending all homestead entries in the former Slletz Indian Reservation, pending investigation by a special agent. This order affects some 1500 homestead entrymen In Lincoln County. All of them are poor. Practically without ex ception they are honest. AH they are trying to do is to get a claim of ItfO acres of land each under the homestead act. They are In most instances entitled to their claims. But since the order was made In 103 only a few of the claims have been Investigated by a special nsent. Unless the blanket order is re voked It will be years before those peo ple will get their patents and some of t.'iem have been living on their claims now for seven years. I shall try to get the seme revoked. I see no reason why these people should not receive the same treatment that Is accorded to settlers elsewhere." Apply for Granted Lands. Fourteen residents of the eastern part of Multnomah County filed appli cations with the county clerk yester day to purchase lands included in rail road grants on the market. The grant given the O. R. & N. for the road along the Columbia River provides that the land shall be placed on sale at (2.50 an vacre. Most of the applications were from Troutdale, Fairview and Clarnle. ' Motion for Nonsuit Overruled. Judge Wolverton in the United States Circuit Court yesterday overruled the motion of counsel for the defense for a nonsuit In the damage suit of Wong Kim against the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The motion was based on the insufficiency of the evidence offered by the prosecution. Witnesses for the defendant company testified that the motorman in charge of the car by which the child was killed used every precaution to prevent the accident which was contributed to by the "spotted" con dition of the track following a rain. The case will be resumed this morning after a session last night and may reach the Jury before late this afternoon. Difficult to Obtain Jury. Considerable difficulty, entailing ex pense on Multnomah county, was en countered yesterday in obtaining a Jury to try Beatrice Lewis, a negress, ac cused of robbing a visitor to her rooms in the North End of more than 1500 in currency. Many of the regular venire and special venires examined yere found to be Ineligible to serve by not being taxpayers and a few were not residents of. Multnomah County for. a year. By a new session law all men summoned to act ai Jurors are al lowed $2 a day. If they are chosen to serve they are allowed $3 a day. TO KILL HUSBAND AGREES TO SAVE HIS WIFE FROM ASYLUM. Mrs. Smith Prefers Death to Mad house, but Is Committed to Salem Institution. That she would rather die than be com mitted to an insane asylum and to effect this end had forced her husband to prom ise to kill her if she were found to be demented was a disclosure made yester day by the examination of Mrs? E. H. ?mith as to her mental condition. She was declared mentally unsound and was taken to the state insane asylum yester day afternoon. Mrs. Smith is the dress maker who was found roaming about Mount Tabor last Monday night clad only in her night gown. Complaint charging Mrs. Smith with in sanity was sworn to by Mrs. C. V.' Penis ton, of 612 Market street, who asserted the woman's condition was due to troubles with her husband. The husband stated he was In the habit of pacifying his wife in her violent periods by agree ing with her to kill her if she were de clared Insane and ordered to an asylum. Several days ago Mrs. Smith attempted to end her life by piercing her breast with a hatpin. "Oculist" Foss Sent to Asylum. Demented, a condition superinduced by the loss of a $.90 bet on Devlin for Mayor and over-indulgence in liquor until he be came violent, W. L. Foss, the supposed doctor, who several days ago treated Jeff Hayes for blindness, was taken to ttae state insane asylum at Salem yesterday, three guards accompanying him. Foss had been declared Insane more than a month ago, but possessing means was allowed to go to a private sanatorium. He left this institution and was taken into custody yesterday for attempting to force entrance into the room of a friend living In the Kingston lodging-house at Third and Taylor streets. Upon first arriving in Portlan Foss was a salesman for his brother, who con ducts an extension-ladder business in Stockton, Cal. He quit his brother's em ploy to open an office In the Oregon Hotel, where he posed as an oculist, capabfe of curing the worst cases of blindness within 48 hours. He treated Jeff Hayes for loss of sight by beating him on the back and giving a series of massage treatments. Hayes complained of the course and the "doctor" was ordered from the hotel. He was next heard of last Sunday night when he gave a dinner in a down-town resort, making a post-prandial bet of $90 on Devlin's victory. Yesterday's commitment to the insane asylum was the climax of his Portland career. Woman Violently Insane. Despite the encumbrance of a "waist cuff," a restralner used on the violently insane. Miss Welthea. Anne Barrett wrested a piece of pipe from a cell in the County Jail last Tuesday evening and with It demolished all the windows of the cell and battered the walls of the com partment. She was declared Insane yes terday and transferred to the asylum at Salem. Her condition Is said to be due to overwork and an Injury sustained in her youth. She Is a dressmaker and hat trimmer. SIX WIVES ASK FOR DIVORCES Two Charge Habitual Drunkenness and Four Abandonment. Six wives filed complaints yesterday setting forth their reasons for seeking divorce decrees. Two charged habitual drunkenness on the part of their hus bands and the other four accussed their helpmates of desertion. Anna P. McDulin says that her hus band is an habitual drunkard and has not drawn a sober breath for three years. She also asserts he spends all his wages for liquor. She asks the custody of her three minor children and to be allowed $75 for suit money. The McDullns were married In Grant's Pass, Or., January 20, 1SS. Mrs. Emma Flnley O'Neill also accuses her husband of Inordinate fondness for liquor. Mrs. O'Neill asserts she has frequently spent her own funds for medi cine to relieve her husband after his overlndulgences without inducing him to reform. They were married November 9, 1905. Mrs. O'Neill desires to resume her maiden name, Emma Louise Flnley. Sallle McFarland declares James W. McFarland deserted her May 13, of this year, after forcing her to leave the family "home. She requests to be awarded the custody of her minor son, Arthur William McFarland and to be granted $25 a month alimony. Her husband, she says. Is well able to pay this amount, receiving be tween $70 and $ a month as a janitor. Ellen F. Davis charges James M. F. Davis with desertion and abandonment. She says her husband left her August 6, 1903. two years after their marriage. That J. C. Abernathy deserted her last year and has failed to support her Is the complaint of Mrs. Evelyn Walker Aber nathy. She asks authority to resume her maiden name, Evelyn Walker. She mar ried Abernathy at Fall River Mills, Cal.. In 1900. Mrs. Annie Fish accuses her husband, James Fish of deserting her and her two children four years after their marriage. She asks the custody of the children and to be allowed to resume her maiden name. Annie Waddington. Mllwaukle Country Club, Eastern and California races.

DEMANDS ITS JUST DUES Will Insist on Appropriation Suffi cient to Meet Increased Running Expenses Mandamus Suit Is to Be the Last Resort. War has been declared upon the City Council by the Civil Service Commission on the ground that the legislative body has failed to provide sufficient funds to meet the necessary running expenses of the latter city department. The big stick which the Commission will wield in its fight is the section of the city charter which provides that sufficient funds to meet all expenses of the Commission for carrying out the civil service reform provisions of the charter shall be pro vided by the Council. This the Council has refused to do, it Is said.' and the result is that the Commission is handi capped In its work. At the meeting of the Commission yes terday afternoon it was decided to employ an assistant to Secretary McPherson, al though there are no funds available with which to pay the salary, and send the bill for the salary to the Council. In case the Councilmen refuse to approve It, mandamus proceedings will be brought In the Circuit Court to compel them to do so. It is the opinion of the members of the Commission that there Is no doubt their stand in the matter will be upheld in the court. This determination on the part of the Commission to force the issue with the Council has been brought about by the large amount of work which has fallen upon the Commission. Secretary O. L. McPherson notified the Commission that there were 22 examinations to be held within the next three months for the pur pose of securing eligible to fill the vacancies existing in the different de partments of the city government. It is said that there are nearly 300 vacancies all told, and the heads of the depart ments are anxious to secure men to nil the positions. These examinations involve a large amount of careful work and Secretary McPherson said that he could not do it and attend to his office duties, and asked for an assistant for two or three months while the examinations were In progress. He notified the Commission that there was no money to pay the salary of an assistant, as the Council had appropriated only a sufficient amount on the first of the year to pay his salary during the year, and had not even allowed the Com mission anything for other expenses. "I believe we can force them to ap propriate money to meet the expenses of this department." said Commissioner Blain. . Com.nisslorer Willis was of the same opinion and sifter a short d'scussion it was decided that an assistant should be employed. The salary claim will be submitted to the Council, and in case that body will not appropriate funds to meet itt the matter will be taken into the courts. There has never been much friendliness between the Council and the Civil Service Commission, and ths former has not given the latter much encouragement in carrying on its work of civil service re form In this city. On the other hand, it has done many things to hamper the work of the Commission. It Is expected that the Council will resent the attitude the Commission has taken in regard to the employment of additional assistance and will strenuously oppose such action. by Former Wife. That little France's I. Bellamy was whipped by its mother when the child lisped for "papa" is one of the reasons given by George Bellamy for request ing the Circuit Court to alter his former wife's divorce decree and as sign to him the care of the little one. He also states that since Mayme Bel lamy's second marriage she. has changed the child's name and has not permitted him to see her as provided by the divorce decree, being threat ened with a revolver instead. In his motion for modification of the divorce decree Bellamy acknowledges he hurled a small prayer book at his wife on one occasion, but counter acts this show of temper by confess ing he helped his former spouse to do the family washing, ironing and cook ing. The document asking a change of de cree is accompanied by several af fidavits sworn to by neighbors cor roborating the statements made by the father of the child. Band Officers Are Elected.
