THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1907. 3 ILL CONFRONT L Roosevelt's Representatives in Force at Denver Con vention. BALLINGER HIS CHAMPION Purpose of Convention to Discredit Roosevelt Agents of Lumber and Coal Thieves In Force Hon dell Is a -Willing Tool. OREGONIAN NEWE BUREAU. Wash ington, Juno It. The administration will uot allow Its enemies to create Ad verse sentiment In the West because of Its public land policies without put tmgr In a word of self-defense. A con vention la to be held In Denver June 18. 19 and 20, on the call of the Gov ernor of Colorado, for the express pur pose of denouncing the President's pub llo land policies. It is the Intention of the men behind this convention to criticise and condemn the forestry policy, the policy that has been pur sued In regard to .public coal lands, grazing and to some extent the policy with regard to Government reclama tion. The crlticismwlll follow the gen eral lines brought out during the de betes in the Senate towards the close of the last session of Congress, and some of the' Senators who were prom inent In their criticism of the Presi dent are expected to participate' In the Denver conference. Roosevelt Will Be Represented. The administration will be fully and ably represented at the Denver con vention. Mr. Plnchot, the head of the forest service, will be- there to defend the President's attitude toward the reservation of publio forest land; Director Newell, of the Geological Sur vey, will be there to uphold the course of the administration In regard to the enforcement of the National reclama tion hi R. A. Balllnger, the new Commissioner of the General Land Of fice, will be on the scene to defend the withdrawal of land for various pur poses and to answer criticisms; and Secretary Garfield, though less familiar with piibllo land questions than any of the others, will be In evidence and It Is expected that he, too, will make several speeches. If ocoasion demands. This will be the first time that the people of the West will have a good opportunity of becoming acquainted with Mr. Balllnger. He has been In public office only a short time and is practically unknown outside of the General Land Office. The . men after coming face to face with Mr. Balllnger at the Denver convention will be great ly surprised. They will find him a very different type of man from his predecessors. In the first place he Is a very brainy man. He knws what the public land laws provide and what tlsny contemplate, and, moreover, he knows what has been dona under them. The commissioner is thoroughly familiar -with the operations of the General Land Office, notwithstanding his short Incumbency, and be goes to Denver prepared to meet the attacks of men who are hostile to the administra tion, - All in all, he Is far better equipped to defend the administration thnn any one of his companions who will go to Denver at the special re quest of the President. People Versus Interests. The President has been administer ing the public land laws for the pub lic good. Special Interests have se cured no concessions whatever. The Individual settler Is given first consid eration, and It Is this fact that has proven so distasteful to the large In terests which, under previous adminis trations, had first say in the disposi tion of the public domain. The publio land laws were made primarily for the Individual. Under some administra tions the laws were administered as if the rights of corporations took pre cedence over all others. Under this administration the settler gets first attention. In creating forest reserves the PresW dent was actuated by a desire to pro tect the. Interests of the people general ly. Of course, the creation of reserves proved dlstastetul to some of the big lumber corporations, but In view of the benefits that accrued from the ab solute assurance that forests would be permanently maintained and that the water supply would be adequately pro tected and despite the disadvantage that was placed upon the lumber barons, the President, in the Interest of the people, went ahead with the crea tion of the reserves simply and solely because he believed the general wel fare demanded that the forests be pro tected from extermination. Coal Land Thieves Indignant. In the same way, the President found that great coal companies, notably the Union Paciflo Coal Com pany, owned by the Union Paciflo Rail road, were flagrantly violating the law and acquiring monopoly of the coal land of a number of Western states. The Individual who attempted to work Government coal deposits was -crowded out. The big corporations were rapidly creating the same Bort of monopoly in the West that now pre vails In the Pennsylvania coal fields of the East and the people of the West .would soon have been at the mercy of a coal trust but for the interference of the President. Again he acted In the Interest of the entire people and In so doing he trampled upon favored cor porations. An effort will be made to condemn him at Denver because he In terfered with the formation of a coal trust In the Western states and his only defense Is that be acted for the publio good. It is understood that the President is also to be condemned because he has withdrawn large areas of land for the purpose of ultimately reclaiming It under the National Irrigation law. By making these withdrawals .he has prevented speculation in arid land and he has very seriously Interfered with the profits of land sharks. He is to be condemned for this, and his only de fense is that he made these withdraw als to save the land for bona fide set tlers In order that they might acquire title to the land and water at the minimum cost. 1 Mondell Corporation Tool. The convention will be presided over by Senator Teller, of Colorado. Mr. Teller is an old man in his dotage. He was a brilliant man In bis day, but he has outlived his usefulness and has be come a scold. Representative Mondell, of Wyoming, is expected to toe promi nent In denouncing the President. Mr. Mondell holds his position in Congress through the courtesy of one of the rail road companies that are affected by the withdrawal of coal land. He gets his orders from this company, and it Is natural that at a convention such as AND this he should take Issue with the President. Other men prominent in the conference have similar axes to grind. They are either in the employ of rail road companies or timber companies, or else they have some other ulterior mo tive In attacking the President. There will be some denunciation from men who do not want to see a tax imposed for the use of publio grazing land, and this will probably be the most honest criti cism made during the convention. There are two sides to this question, and out of the discussion may come some solu tion of what la acknowledged to toe one of the leading Issues before,, the West Aim to Discredit Roosevelt. All In all. the Denver conference to held for the purpose of discrediting the President In the West. It has the back ing of the President's enemies In the East and those men in publio life who are kept there by corporate Influence are all to be In evidence and all to take part in the proceedings. At first, the administration waa a little concerned over the conference, but after sizing up the situation, finding who are to be there, and ascertaining something of their motives, the friends of the Presi dent have decided that the conference will probablyt act as a boomerang and strengthen, rather than weaken, the President In ths West. It Is not con tended that his public land policies are perfect, but the President has stated over and over again that he Is willing to make any practical corrections that are suggested. He Invites fair criti cism, but he will not bow down to dic tation from representatives of special Interests. The Denver convention is nothing more than an attempt to bluff the President. Four Candidates for Chairman. DENVER, June 14. It la" expected a warm fight will develop In the pub lio lands convention .next week over the selection of a permanent chairman. There are four announced candidates In the field: Senator Thomas Carter, of Montana; Dr. J. N. Wilson, of Wyo ming; Lieutenant-Governor Harper and Frank C. Goudy, the two last from Colorado. Senator Carter appears to be the strongest In the race, and the consensus of opinion Is that he will be chosen. . FEDERATION HEARS REPORT EDITOTJ OP MINERS JOtTRNAIj STARTS UP FIGHT. . Opposes Further Alliance 'With In- dnstrial Workers and Criticizes the New Labor Party. DENVER, Colo., June 14. At the con vention of - the Western Federation of Miners here toOay John O'Neill, the editor of the Miners' Journal, the orfcn of the federation, read his report, in which he made an attack upon the In dustrial Workers of the World and that portion of the Socialist Labor party of New York, headed by Deleon. The report will form the basis of the fight against the continuance of alliance between the Western Federation of Miners and the Industrial Workers of the World. Mr. O'Neill also defended him self against the attacks made on his policy In the Miners' Magazine by certain federation members and especially by the McCabe Union, of Butte. Secretary K Irwin announced that he had received a telegram from Mr. Richardson calling him to Boise. He said he would leave tomorrow night. Teolllo Petrlella, a graduate of a prom inent Italian . university, gave a most pitiful report of the revolting conditions of the miners In the Mesaba range In Minnesota. He described camps where men lived like worms and starved half the year that they might eat the other half. It warn reported today that the federation had refused to fly the American flag in honor of Flag day over the build ing in which the convention is being held. Acting President Mahoney said he ordered the flag put up. LINEMEN ORDERED TO WORK San Francisco Sympathetic Strike Not Authorized by Council. ' OAKLAND, June 14. The executive committee of the Paciflo Council of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to day ordered the San Francisco telephone linemen back to work and gave them un til next Tuesday to comply with the or der. If they fall to return their places will be filled by other union linemen. The linemen went on a sympathetic strike to support the striking operators. The council decided that the strike of the local union was unauthorized and In violation of the agreement with the Tele phone company. SUMMER OF LIVELY WARS Central American Republics Promise to Keep Vp Their Record. WASHINGTON, June 14. A sanguinary war perhaps two wars or more, with as many revolutions added for good meas ureis what the . State Department offl cials now expect to mark the Summer of 1907 In Central America. They are much cast down over the sudden and unex pected failure of the Joint efforts of the governments of Mexico and America to bring about a condition of permanent peace between the turbulent republics In Central America. Official news of this feature reached the State Department from one of Its representatives In Nicaragua, who for warded the explanation of the ' President of that country of his participation in the attack on Acajutla. The exasperat ing feature of President Zelaya's mes sage, according to the State Department, was the way in which he sought to place upon America and Mexico the responsi bility for the attack upon a friendly state, by claiming that It was a neces sary step In the execution of the plan for a union of the Central American re publics. A dispatch received from Captain Mul ligan, of the gunboat Torktown. now at Acajutla. says everything is quiet. If any vessel is sent to the scene of trouble it probably will be the Milwaukee, now at Mare Island. MAY NOT COLLECT DUES Members of Association Must Have Tickets Validated. ' v,f WASHINGTON, June 14. The Inter state Commerce Commission expressed the opinion that it would be unlawful for - railroads to collect, as a part of their charges for transportation member ship dues in the National Educational Association. The annual convention of the associa tion Is to be held at Los Angeles July 8-11 and It Is provided that some of the tickets at reduced rates may be vali dated for the return trip at various points on the Pacific Coast. This the commission holds is contrary to law, and such excursion tickets as are sold must be validated at Los Angeles. The tickets are held to be open only to bona fide members of the assoclatior GIVE TAFT OVATION Great Crowd Greets Secretary at St Paul. TOO ILL TO SPEAK LONG Briefly Reviews Work on Panama Canal and Says Work May Be Completed in Four Years, and Certainly In Seven. ST. PAUL. June 14. It looked for a time as If the banquet which wasglven at the Auditorium tonight In honor of Secretary of War Taft would not be graced by the presence of the Secretary, who was taken suddenly 111 while reviewing the troops at' Fort Snelling, shortly after noon. The banquet was to commence at 0 o'clock, but It. was not until 7:46 that the Secretary reached the banqdet hall. Look ing somewhat pale, but with his face wreathed In smiles, the Secretary of War strode down . the long line of banqueters and the 2000 seated at the tables and as many more who occupied seats in the balconies rose to their feet and cheered lustily. . Suffers Attack of Indigestion. To the Associated Press the Secretary stated that he was feeling much better and that his attack was merely a severe attack of Indigestion, which was brought on by the series of banquets which had been tendered him since he left Washing ton on bis Western trip. The banquet tonight, which, except for the visit to Fort Snelling. was the only function which the Secretary was able to attend. Plates were laid for 2000 banquet ers, while the boxes and galleries sur rounding the stage were thronged with handsomely gowned women. Palms and potted plants were scattered in pictur esque profusion about the banquet hall, while thousands of silk American flags floated overhead. When Mr. Taft spoke, his voice was strong and he was heard In all parts of the auditorium. He said: Surrenders to Twin Cities. 41t has come to be my portion to receive the hospitality from a great many people, from those in the Philippines many thou sands of miles away; frqrn Panama, Cuba, Porto Rico and to have Senator Clapp at my right hand to run the risk of several Winters In Washington; but It has re mained for me to surrender to the Twin Cities of the North. "Seriously the condition In which I find myself tonight Is my own fault, and I can refer to Archbishop Ireland, for the truth of the saying that Tou may. bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle and his foolishness will depart from him.' I don't know whether that Is the St. James or the Douay version, but the substance Is correct. The fact Is that I caught a cold and added to my Indis cretion by eating too heartily of the cheer provided for me at my various stopping places, and I am confronted with a weakness that I ought not to confess. Wished to Witness Greeting. "I ought not to be here now, but for a desire to come and witness this wonder ful greeting, and I want to make this statement just as strong as If I were to make a speech for an hour, which I am not going to do. I had hoped to invite your attention to what has been accom plished In constructing the Panama Canal and to give you an Idea of what we have been doing down there on the Isthmus, but I must plead my condition and simply give you an outline of what has been done." Mr. Taft then outlined briefly the plans which were made for the prosecution of the work. Continuing he said: "It is great evidence of progress to get to such a stage that in April we ex cavated 850,000 cubic yards. Then in May we had a strike, but that has been amicably settled and we will take out 1,000,000 cubio yards a month. That would mean that we would be able to complete the canal in the four years, but I don't want to hold out that hope to you. If we com plete the canal in seven years we will have demonstrated In record time what American energy can do." After a few words of excuse for cutting his address short, Mr. Taft said good-bye and then, before the cheering Bad sub sided, he was out of the door and into an automobile on his way to the home of J. J. Hill. SCHMITZ' OFFICE VACATED (Continued From' First Pose.) Under no other circumstances could he secure admission to bail." A few years ago a law was placed upon the statute books of the state that a convicted person could not be ousted from office' until such conviction had been upheld by a higher court. As cases move slowly on appeal, it is con sidered likely that the higher court will not pass upon" this matter until after ths Mayor's term ot office has expired. Under the charter, however, Schmltz. by reason of his confinement In prison, should he be sent there, would be un able to perform the duties of his of fice. Under the circumstances the Su pervisors have no power to oust him, but must select some one of their num ber to act as Mayor during Schmltz disability. "As chairman of the finance committee of the -Board, Gallagher would become acting Mayor, leaving the government practically In the hands of the prosecutors, who while they may not be empowered to install new officials may succeed in effecting ex tensive reforms In the civil government- 'Heney's Closing Speech. It is the judgment of old timers that no fairer speech against a defendant at a bar ever had been heard in a San Fran cisco criminal court than was delivered yesterday afternoon hy Francis J. Heney against Mayor Eugene E. Schmltz. It was masterly and successful from the open ing sentence till the last period's close. The first part of this speech was a ter rific denunciation of tactics " which Mr. Heney charged were used by some of the attorneys for the Mayor. In part he spoke as follows: "I am not going to waste any time in the discussion of outside issues, but I may call your attention to the somewhat unfortunate position I occupy In the trial. There Is one attorney on the other side who has been trying this case like a lawyer. He keeps strictly within the is sues, he Is fair and wholly Impartial, yet he fights hard for every right of his client. It is a pleasure to try a case with a man who does not try to slip the cards from the bottom, wno does not use a box that has been sanded and fixed, who doesn't go aside from the Issues to abuse the District Attorney, or Rudolph Spreckels, a publlc-Bpirited citizen. I say. kgentlemen. It is a pleasure to try a case with a man like Mr. Campbell. . Vitriol in Barrett's Wounds. "But there Is another kind of attorney on the other side. He would befog the Is sues and confuse your views by heaping a mass of scurvy maledictions on the prosecution's attorneys. He It was who Accused me of sitting in the lap of Mr. Spreckels. It's a nice large lap to sit In. But he knows," and here Mr. Heneys voice rose and fell with his wrath, ha squared about and raised bis arm and shook his fist at John Barrett, who sat beside the Mayor, "he knows that I sit in no man's lap, nor can any man sit in my lap. He knows no man can swerve me one Jot or lota from my duty. He knows that the court could stand here with a dozen cannons or a dozen" shotguns loaded with buckshot and he knows I would scorn them all. Barrett, he knows that Heney didn't pull down and suck the municipal pap for four years as he did. and I now fling back at them, back into their teeth, all the dirty, scurrilous attacks they have made on me since this trial began. I'm here. In the van of the prosecution of criminals caught, but un tried, because they know they could not pull me down with a four years' appoint ment as fire commissioner, as they did Barrett; because they know I wouldn't take orders, that they couldn't handle me with any official dirty work; that" s why I'm on this side of the case today. How His Hands Got Horny. "And that's the Irish In me, gentlemen. T'm half Irish and half Dutch. Fortunately these hands," spread ing the palms up to tne jury, - unnae Mr. Barrett's, have been browned by hammering the head of a drill and hand ling a shovel, and by throwing ths rope on a ranch. Therefore I have some hu man sympathy." And at this point Mr. Heney dilated in a cleverly complimentary explanation of why he had refused to exercise a per emptory challenge against Juror CMara, "the honest blacksmith." Turning his at tention to the case, the -Assistant District Attorney'dwelt at length on the necessity of a verbal threat In the commission of a crime of extortion. "Mr. Barrett says Abraham Ruef la the Napoleon of criminals In the community, and he Is. But when did yon And that out, Mr. Barrett T I said It away back in November, 1905 didn't you believe then? Have you only come to see It now, now that you are no longer a Fire Commis sioner and your sight is unblinded by a political job? Send Ruef to San Quentln. "I saw It away back In 1905, and I also said that if a ohance ever came I would send Abe Ruef to the penitentiary, where he belongs, and God helping me, I'm going to do It." This utterance sent a sensation swirl ing through the house, for the crowd took it as official notice from the prosecution that immunity had not been promised to Ruef. Continuing. Mr. Heney said: "Ruef and Schmitz Siamese twins what one said the other did. Ruef was the political boss. That's why he was employed by these restaurant men, not because he 'was a lawyer. ' "Did you ever hear of 'a lawyer taking a case as a lawyer and refusing to talk about It-in the presence of two people or to give a receipt for his fee, or refuse to accept checks, and declaring he would take nothing but greenbacks. It Is pre posterous. Oh, you can't abrse Abe Ruef any too muoh for me.- He's no angel. That's why I didn't put him on the stand sooner. "And that reminds me that Mr. Barrett wanted to know why W. J. Burns' was burning midnight oil with Ruef. I'll tell you If you know that Billy Metson, Bar rett's assistant and the Mayor's counsel, had sent Henry Lyman, who Is owned by the Southern Pacific, to Tim Sullivan to pull Tim Sullivan down because Tommy Lynch was a friend of Reagan's If you know" Arouses Meteon's Fighting Blood. "All of which you know is a lie." It was the quiet, even. Icy voice of Billy Metson saying that, and the people round about who knew much about the two men began to experience thrills. They remem bered that down In Arizona Francis Heney killed his man, and up in Black Home, Bill Metson, single-handed with a six shooter, held up a crowd that wanted his life. . . "Tou are not on the witness stand now," yelled Mr. Heney, shaking his fist at Mr. Metson. "You did not dare take the witness stand for me to cross examine you " "I will meet you anywhere and any time you say," snapped Mr. Metson. "I'm no assassin of characters or of men." "You are not testifying now, and I'll say here whatever I want to say and as long as I want to say it, and as loud as I want to say It to your face." "You heard me say I'd meet you, and I'm going to stay in town," retorted Mr. Metson. Mr. Heney had the last word, but he spoke it to the Jury, He repeated to the 12 in charge that Mr. Metson had sent Lynch to Sullivan to try to pull Sullivan off and switch him as a wit ness for Schmltz. . As to that assertion Metson made this statement over his name: "I do not and I did not know or have any idea Sullivan was to be a witness. In fact Sullivan swore on the stand that he didn't expect to be a witness until he heard from the Cooks' and Waiters' Union to that effect." Mr. Heney said that Mr. Burns had sat up with Ruef until the small hours ot the morning to see that "no outside Influences reached the prisoner." Use One Rogue to Convict Another. In closing Mr. Heney said: "There are only two things for a guilty man to do, to plead guilty or to manufac ture a defense. Ruef, under a hundred indictments; Ruef like every other crim inal brought to bay, Ruef said: Til take my chance with the prosecution and tell the truth.' ' "Well, the people are entitled where the law lays Its hands on two or more rogues and the testimony of one of them la necessary to complete the case the people are entitled to enable one of them to obtain a light punishment In order that the laws be respected and the majesty of the laws be upheld."

After Dragging Waters of Hampton Roads, Launch Is Discovered in 2 7 Feet ot Water. NEWPORT NEWS. June can opy frame crushed, but canvas still tightly fastened down. the missing launch of the battleship Minnesota was located in 57 feet of water, about 1600 yards west by south of Fort Wool, this afternoon about 6 o'clock. Across the lit tle craft was a telltale piece of towing line, serving to convince the naval offi cers that they are right In their theory that the launch was run down by a float of some kind In tow of a tug. . - The diver who went down to examine the launch reported that the heads and arms of three men were protruding from beneath the canvas covering, the men having made a desperate fight for life." when they were carried down like rats In a trap. . It will be 6 o'clock tomorrow before the launch can be raised and at the present time no one knows how many bodies will be found. It Is believed that cer tainly none of the bodies will be under the canopy. The fact that the uniform caps of Midshipmen TJlrlch and Steven son were picked up In the Roads Indi cates that these two must have suc ceeded In getting free from the boat be fore they were drowned. It is learned here tonight that a New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk car float passed through the Roads shortly after midnight Tuesday morning, bound from Cape Charles for Norfolk. The float ar rived In Norfolk about t o"clock Tuesday morning and Is believed to have been directly off the Exposition grounds at teh time the launch went down. Motber Love ot a Cat. New Yaxk World.

She has a record aa a rat catcher, so the ferryman was not surprised when, a few minutes later, she deposited a big wharf rat at his feet.
