Government Hastens to Fill AH Its Depots President Elliott Says the Shortage Xext 'Winter Will Be Worse Than Last Year. WASHINGTON, June 1J. Strenuous measure! have been adopted by the Government and by the railroads to avert & fuel famine In the West and Northwest, which is thought to be Im pending next Winter. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Paciflo, re cently wired to Commissioner Lane of the Interstate Commerce Commission, suggesting the probability of a fuel famine in the West and Northwest 1 next Winter that might exceed in its serious possibilities the famine of last Winter. He advised that every effort be made by the commission to Induce consumers to lay in supplies of coal during the Summer months, pending the movement of the crops in the early Autumn. Commissioner Lane Immediately took up the matter with Secretaries Garfield and Taft, urging that coal supplies at all depots of the Govern ment be put in at as early a date as possible. The subject was considered at the last cabinet meeting held be fore President Roosevelt left Washing ton, and it was decided that the sug gestion be adopted. Secretary Garfield wrote to Commis sioner Lane, in response to a letter which the Commissioner had written him on the subject, his letter contain ing this paragraph: I beg to acknowledge your letter of Jane T. with the IncloBure from the president of the Northern Pacific. His suggestion regarding- fuel Is an admirable one, and should be acted on by the department. Commissioner Lane has received from B. T. Staunton, chairman of the ICallroad Commission of Montana, a circular which the Commission has is sued respecting an investigation into the subject of the coal supply now in sight and to be available for the use of citizens of Montana during the Win ter months of 1907 and 1908. The In quiry shows that a coal Shortage ex ceeding that of the past Winter is not only possible, but probable, unless steps are taken to avert it, and the Commission advises the people to put in their 'supplies of coal at the earliest possible date. Commissioner Lane has been advised that the city of Los Angeles, Cai., has made arrangements to put In a full supply of coal during the early Sum mer months, and he has learned that the railrods of the West and North west are placing at their various sup ply depots all the coal they can store conveniently. BLAGEN WILL FILL VACANCY Congressman Jones Names Portland Boy for Annapolis Cadetshlp. OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 19. Henry W. Blagen, of Portland, who was last week appointed midshipman at Annapolis Naval Acad emy by Senator Bourne, will be ad mitted to the academy as the appointee of Representative Jones, of Washing ton, provided he passes the physical examination. Biagen was appointed by Jones" as alternate last Spring, and took the ex amination, but the principal appointee qualified and Blagen was not eligible. Since then Jones' original appointee lias failed, and Blagen becomes elig ible. He is now at Annapolis waiting to take the physical examination. If he passes, he will be admitted at once. It Is now too late for Senator Bourne to make another appointment, as the last entrance examinations for this season are being held today. He will have the vacancy to fill about March 4. next.

THEIR SCHEME IS UPSET (Continued From First Page.) Inunendo he was accused of attempting to defeat the purposes of the convention by Issuing tickets to supporters of the ad ministration, who were not accredited delegates. Ample opportunity was given the dele rates to the public lands convention today to air their grievances regarding the reg ulations and restrictions on the use of the public lands enforced by the Federal De partments and to set forth their views as to the policy which the Government should adopt on these questions. All res olutions introduced were referred to sub-committee of the committee on reso lutions, consisting of Frank H. Short, of California: Clarence B. Douglass, of Ok lahoma: E. W. Ross, of Washington, Pat- rk-k Sullivan, cf Wyoming, and S. Luna, of New Mexleo. CViniressman Robert W. Bonynge, of Colorado, who discussed the Government's public land policy, said it was not In ac cordance with the Constitution or with the history of the administration of the law for the Government to hold control of a large area of land for an indefinite tierlod. Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, read a paper In which he severely criti cised the withdrawal oi coal lands rrom entry.' Congressman F- W. Mondell attacked the President's public land policy, which he characterised as Government landlord ism. There was a demand from some of the delegates at the conclusion of Mr. Mon- dell's address that some of those from "the other side" be heard, and the chair man called upon General Irving Hale, of this stnte. General Hale spoke of the great' Importance of preserving the tim STEAMER LINE IS CHARGED HAMBURG-AMERICAN C03IPANT BEFORE COMMISSION. Rival Says German Liners Divert AVestward Freight to Their Ves sels In Restraint of Trade. NEW TORK, June The reply of the Hamburg-American Steam Packet Company to the charges preferred before the Interstate Commerce Commission by Peter Wright & Sons, will, it is under stood, be in the nature of a general denial that a combination in restraint of trade exists between the defendant and allied lines. Emll L, Boas, agent in this country of the Hamburg-American line, tonight said: . . "Most of these charges are so wild and reckless that It seems almost in credible they should form the basis of a statement submitted to a judicial body like the Interstate - Commerce Commis sion. It is to be noted that Messrs. Peter Wright & Sons, who are them selves agents of foreign steamships, wish to appear as representing American interests. Their line, the Cosmopolitan Steamship Company, is American In name only. It is actually only a name for Mr. Heckscher, the Danish ship own er in Copenhagen. According to the complaint, the Hamburg-American Packet Company has built up a complete monopoly of the eastbound traffic originating in Chicago, St. Louis. Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, D-u-luth, Cleveland and other manufacturing centers of the United States. The allegation Is made that foreign cor porations, backed by the German govern ment, dictate terms, routes and rates to shippers all over the United States who forward goods to Baltic points, divert to and from American ports at their own will without regard to the natural flow of trade and use coercive and unlawful methods to crush competition. MAKE REPLY TO COMPLAINT Agent of Accused Line Calls Charge Wild and Reckless. WASHINGTON. June 19. The In terstate Commerce Commission today decided to Institute a proceeding of in quiry and investigation Into the af fairs of the Hamburg-American Packet Company, which Is charged by Peter" Wright & Sons, general agents at Philadelphia of the Cosmopolitan Ship ping Company and the Cosmopolitan lines, with polling and maintaining monopolies In restraint of trade. The inquiry Is expected to be one of the most stupendous ever undertaken and of a character different from any that ever before has engaged the attention of the commission. The Inquiry will have to deal with an alleged combina tion between railroads In the United States and the German shipping con cern, and therefore interests every American manufacturer or shipper de siring to Introduce hlsgoods to foreign consumers. TO STUDY GERMAN SYSTEM Beverldge Off to Get Pointers on In . heritance Tax Matters. NEW YORK, June 19. United States Senator Albert J. Beverldge, of Indiana, who has just sailed for Europe on the steamship Kron Prinz Wilhelm, is going to Germany for the purpose of making a thorough and comprehensive study of the inheritance tax system of that country, with a. view of using a part of it in molding a bill which he proposes to introduce in the Senate when Congress opens in the Fall. He declined to discuss the report that while be is abroad that he is to be married to Miss Catherine Eddy, of Chicago, a sister of Mr. Eddy, of the United States diplomatic corps.

(Spe cial.) Interest for tile moment has switched from the prosecution of the grafters to the identity of the prom inent citizen who Is to be lifted into the Mayor's office to complete the term of Schmitz. The application for ball on behalf of Schmitz will be made this week, and it is believed even by close friends of the Mayor that it will be denied. The Supervisors, acting under instructions from District Attor ney Langdon, Francis J. Heney and Rudolph Spreckels, will then elect a successor to Gallagher, who is now serving as acting Mayor. The graft prosecutors have under consideration several names, foremost among which are James D. Phelan, J. J. Dwyer, one of the . attorneys asso ciated with the prosecution; Frederick G. Sanborn, a member of the grand jury; H. U. Brandenstein, chairman of the finance committee of the last board of Supervisors; F. W. Dohrmann, pres ident of the relief board; Walter Mac Arthur, a well-known labor leader, and Allen Pollok, formerly manager of the St. Francis Hotel. Which of these men, if any, will be chosen, is an open question. The prose cutors have not yet reached a decision. The situation is complicated, and therefore the prosecution will proceed with great caution. Conflicting In terests are at work and the prosecutors will endeavor to conciliate all before making a choice. The task before Langdon, Heney and Spreckels is a very delicate one, and will require the greatest amount of diplomacy. Phelan would be the choice without doubt, were it not for the Hearst Influence which has stead fastly opposed Phelan. As District At torney Langdon has had the support of Hearst in all his political aspir ations, he naturally will do all he can to avoid a conflict with the editor. On the other hand, Fremont Older,' editor of the Bulletin, who has been associated with the prosecution, will resist any candidate who is in any way affiliated with Hearst. Altogether the situation is fraught with great danger. ATTORNEYS IN CONFERENCE Prosecution and Defense Seek to Agree on Stipulation ot Facts. 1 SAN FRANCISCO, June 19. A (Con ference was held this afternoon by the attorneys for the prosecution and those representing the United Railroads, the San Francisco Gas & Electric Company and the Pacific States Telephone & Tele graph Company, for the purpose of agreeing? on a stipulation of facts which occurred at the time of the lmpanelment of the grand jury. A statement drawn up by the prosecu tion was not acceDtable to the defense and the matter was continued until to morrow. J Not only will Mayor Schmitz resist all efforts to transfer the reins of govern ment from him to Acting Mayor Galla gher, but according to his attorneys, all of the Schmitz appointees will flatly re fuse to relinquish office when their res ignations are called for. -TiiricrA Tjiwlnr tniav nn rpmiAftt nf At torney Frank l5rew signed an order per mitting Mayor Schmitz to leave the coun ty Jail for consultation with his attor ney. The order is identical with the one issued yesterday. Ruef's Sentence Is Postponed. SAN" FRANCISCO, June 19.
