4 THE HORNING OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY, JTJXE 21, 1907. BLOOD IS SHED IN E Troops Clash With Angry Mobs on the Streets of Nar bonne. SOLDIERS SHOOT TO KILL Whole Army Corps Brought Into Ac tion to Quell Disorders City's Walls Show Bullet Marks. Paris Is Excited.' ORDER IS RESTORED. PARIS, June 21. (Special.) The Cabinet held a lengthy session last night, only breaking up at midnight. The crisis in the Midi was thorough ly discussed. At 2 A. M. it was announced that Premier Clemenceau had received a message from the Prefect at Nar bonne stating that order had been restored. PARIS. June ax The rebellious ex cesses and rioting In the Midi are caus ing the greatest excitement and appre hension In Paris. All the afternoon pa pers issued editions every hour today. The general impression here seems to be that the situation is even worse than had been supposed and that the revolt is likely to increase, especially in view of the somewhat violent tempers of the in habitants of the Southern provinces. As the news spreads it is thought that fur ther disturbances will take place. The outbreaks in Narbonne, Herpignan, Montpelier and other places .are regarded as ominous. PARIS, June 20. Owing to the censor ship in the South, only brief items of news of the winegrowers' demonstrations have reached Paris up to this afternoon. These, however, showed that the conflicts between the troops and mobs were more sanguinary than at first supposed. At (Narbonne. three persons were killed and full a hundred soldiers and civilians. Including a score of women, are said to have been wounded, several fatally. The troops, who were ordered to lire in the -air. shot straight at the mob besieging them in the courtyard of the sub-prefecture. Rebel Sections Isolated. A whole army corps has been put in motion to deal with the rebellious wine growers, but the government claims that the forces are now so distributed so as to Isolate the different sections and ren der it .practically impossible to effect a general mobilization of the disaffected people. Three of the Argelllers commit teemen, who have fled to escape arrest, surrendered to the authorities today and were Jailed at Montpelier. It 'Was officially announced today that "owing to the occurrences last night In the south of France, the President, after consultation with the King of Slam, has, decided to postpone the festivities ar ranged in the King's honor, and conse . quently the banquet arranged for this evening at the Klysee palace has been postponed. The newspapers report another attempt to burn the sub-prefecture at Narbonne. A mob plied straw at the gates and set fire to it. Gendarmes fired from the upper stories and the attackers fled. Town Is Battle-Scarred. It is also announced that there has been further shooting in the streets of Narbonne and many persons have been wounded. Narbonne is reported as presenting a re markable spectacle. Paving stones used in the assault upon the troops encumber the streets, the walls are marked with bullets, windows are broken and the cafos are wrecked. the furniture having been used for building barricades. Broken bottles used as clubs litter the streets everywhere. Most of the wounded are suffering from gunshot wounds and saber gashes or from fractured skulls or limbs. MOB .LYNCHES A POLICEMAN Body Riddled .by Bullets and Cast Into Canal Troops 1'ire. NARBONNE. June 20. The riotous ele ment of the populace of this place cast off all restraint this afternoon and the city became the scene of many wild excesses. A secret police agent was lynched, and other persons were treated with the most extraordinary brutality. For a gendarme or policeman to appear on the boulevardes alone was to court risk of being clubbed to death. The troops ultimately were obliged to intervene for the protection of the officers of the law. This resulted in lurther bloodshed. The secret police agent who was lynched was patrollng the Promenade des Barques, when the mob suddenly Invaded the street. They seized him and clubbed him until he was senseless. Then they riddled his body with bullets and pitched hlra into the canal. Later they fished the body out of the water, and attaching a rope to it, dragged it through the streets, acting ferociously all the while. When the troops arrived on the scene there was sharp fighting. The mob attempted to rush the sol diers, but the latter fixed bayonets -and repelled the assaults. Revolvers were drawn by the rioters, and the troops were fired upon until they were forced In self-defense to shoot. Numbers of the mob fell, four persons being killed, among whom was a girl 2.0 years old. Eleven others are known to have been wounded, and many others were carried off by friends. Several casualties occurred owing to the gen darmes. Police officers were attacked and sav agely ill-treated and maimed, but they managed to escape with tlielr lives. Gunstores were raided, and the revolu tionists, who were armed with revol vers, appeared to be fearless of the in fantry. Frequent cavalry' Charges were necessary to disperse them. Street barricades were numerous, but they were torn down by the troops al most as soon as completed. One of the Generals commanding the forces fell Into the hands of the mob, that threat ened to throw.-him into the canal unless he should solemnly swear not to em ploy cuirassiers against them again. The General yielded to the superior force, and the cuirassiers since have been replaced by dragoons. A promi nent Police Judge was caught by the crowd and held. A conflict in which the IS 9th reg iment fired volleys caused the worst possible impression. The ehootlng ap pears to have been due to the pre cipitancy of a non-commissioned of ficer, and it is stated that the com mandant of the 139th regiment was o horror stricken at the unfortunate affair that he tore off his Insignia of SOUTHERN HUNG rank in front of his men and later re signed his command, but this is not confirmed. Crowds stand mournfully gazing at the pools of blood where the dead and wounded fell. On the blood-stained pavement is chalked the inscription, "Here fell the victims of the 139th. Death to Clemenceau and Ficquart." The funeral of the victims is fixed to take place tomorrow and the greatest disturbances are apprehended. DEPUTIES ATTACK MINISTRY Premier Clemenceau Declares He , Will Put Down the Rebellion. PARIS, June 20. The government- was put on its defense in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon when it was asked to Justify the repressive measures adopted against the rebellious winegrow ers of the south, but after subjecting Premier Clemenceau to a hot Are. the deputies decided to postpone until to morrow a formal interpellation on the Bubject, on which the fight of the ministry hangs. After confirming the reports of the sanguinary fight at Narbonne and Mont pelier, for which he blamed the local Toughs, the premier declared his inten tion to repel attacks on public buildings until driven from his post by the chamber. A special dispatch from Narbonne says that a state of siege was proclaimed there at noon. No confirmation of the report was obtained. Set Fire to Prefecture. PERPIGNAN, France, June 20. A dis perate attempt was made tonight by a huge crowd of rioters to burn down the prefecture. The crowd fought off the lire brigade for a time, but, assisted by the troops, the firemen finally succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The build ing, however, was badly damaged. Thou sands of manlfestants are parading the streets tonight in a state of the wildest excitement. Diplomat Xot Recognized. WASHINGTON, June 20. Secretary Root has declined to grant the requeBt of Dr. Angel Ugarte to be received at the department as the diplomatic representa tive of the Hondurean provisional govern ment, which amounts to a refusal to recognize that government at this time. Conflicts at Montpelier. MONTPELIER, France, June 20. The greater portion of the population demon strated In the streets today until a late hour. There were several conflicts with the troops. HOLDS UP STAGES ALONE 'BLACK KID" AT WORK AGAIN AT YOSEMITE. Covers Passengers With Winchester and Has Valuables Collected for Him by a Boston Man. WAWONA, Cal., June 20. Two of the regular stages from Raymond bound for Wawona were held up and 16 passengers relieved of their val uables yesterday by the "Black Kid," the famous lone highwayman of this section. Yesterday afternoon in the locality of his former successes, the robber stood at the side of the road with an old rusty 44 Winchester rifle, leveled at Archie Turner, the driver. He called on Turner to hold up, and then com manded the passengers to put up their hands. He waited until the second stage ap peared, when he commanded all the passengers to alight and hold up their hands. He then singled out Francis 3. Eaton, of Boston, to pass the hat, demanding of the frightened passen gers their purses and watches. After having made the collection, Eaton was compelled to tie the wealth, consisting of several articles of jewelry and J250, in a handkerchief, and pass It over. "While the collect ing process was going on the robber compelled Mrs. Eaton to stand be hind him, thus using her as a shield from any attack from the rear. While waiting for the second stage and when the collection was going on the "Kid" talked pleasantly with the driver. The robber helped himself to some peaches, potatoes and crackers from the stage, remarking that he had a hard night before him. When he had finished the general holdup and had replenished his stock of foodstuffs, he ordered the passen gers back into the stages and com manded the drivers to go on.

GET CONTROL OF CHICAGO LINES Vanderbilts Invest Many Mill ions in Outer Belt Roads and Feeders... WILL BUILD LINE TQ GULF Deal Insures to New York Central 80 Per Cent of Freight-Handling Originating In and Around the Middle Western Metropolis. COST OF LEASES. Various items of expense in the ' Vanderbilts' S0, 000,000 traffic coup: Indiana, Illinois & . Iowa Road J20.000.000 Chicago. Indiana A South ern Road 34.000.000 Chicago Junction tracks.. 2,500,000 Rental terminal tracks for tPO years 10.000.000 East Chicago Belt Road. 3,000.000 'Stockyards line 1.000.000 Total $70,500,000 CHICAGO, III., June 2a (Special.) Of ficers of the Chicago Junction Railroad, the outer belt line of Chicago, today ad mitted that it had been leased to the Vanderbilt lines with the right to pur chase, and the prediction was made that it would be purchased within a year. The Vanderbilt lines already own the inner belt and the $SO.0O0,O0O coup in se curing the outer belt gives that system control of the greatest tonnage produc ing area in the world. Insure Control of 80 Per Cent. Every road that enters Chicago, or that can enter, mast bisect one or both of these belts and pay tribute. It is es timated that this deal will ensure the New York Central lines at least 80 per cent of all traffic originating in and around Chicago, or which uses this city as a transfer point. Another integral part of this great traf fic coup which the Vanderbilts have been quietly perfecting for the past five years is the Chicago, Indiana & Southern road, which they have built directly south from Chicago to Da'iville, where it connects with the Big Four road. It is a part of the comprehensive traffic campaign which they have carefully planned and executed to extend this system straight south to the Gulf before the opening of the Panama Canal. Accordingly, when the canal is opened, the New York Central lines will, through the expenditure of at least $125,000,000 and possibly $150,000,000, have the whip hand over the greatest tonnage producing area In the world. Traffic men say that this plan will give the Vanderbilts practical control over the following traffic: Be Able to Dominate : Traffic. Traffic originating from all points south of Chicago to the Gulf and des tined to points east of Chicago. Traffic originating anywhere west of Chicago and destined for points east through Chicago or around it. All traffic orig inating east of Chicago destined for points south. West or northwest of Chi cago and routed through or around Chicago. All coal traffic originating in a vast field in Illinois and Indiana and destined for points east, west and northwest of Chicago. The first call upon 80 per cent of the traffic originat ing in and about Chicago and destined for points east and many points south of hero. The line known as the outer belt of the Chicago Junction Railway Com pany, consists of 24.8 miles of tracks owned by that company and 13.8 miles owned by the Chicago Terminal Trans fer Railway Company and over which the Junction Railway Company has a 99-year lease. CLEVELAND IN NO DANGER Reports of Operation on Ex-President Without Foundation. PRINCETON. N. J.. June 20. According to a statement issued from the home of ex-President Cleveland tonight the alarm ing reports sent broadcast concerning his condition are practically groundless. The statement follows: "Mr. Cleveland is suffering from acute indigestion. The report, that an opera tion had been performed upon him today for the removal of a malignant growth, is absolutely untrue. No operation was contemplated. Mr. Cleveland is in no danger and will be around again in a few days." Mrs. Cleveland is authority for the fore going statement. . . . HOLD LAND FOR PEOPLE (Continued Prom First Page.) limits whether the land restored contains timber or not. At the opening of today's session the delegates were looking forward to a warm fight on the floor of the convention over resolutions in favor of turning the public grazing lands over to the various Western States for local management, and against "the inauguration of any policy that will result in the United States Government becoming the per manent holder and landlord of the re maining public lands or the natural resources connected therewith." Five resolutions were introduced and read. The commercial bodies of Col orado Springs and the directors of the Colorado State Forestry Association in troduced resolutions indorsing the work of the forestry service. The Colorado and Wyoming Lumber Dealers'. Association, In a set of reso lutions, objected to. leasing the range, called for a reduction In the area of forest reserves and approved Govern ment landlordism. - - Before the adoption of the report of the committee on credentials, B. F. Montgomery, of Colorado, sought to ouBt the American National Livestock Association, the National Wtoolgrowers' Association, the -National -Irrigation Association, the American Mining Con-, gress and the Trans-Mlsslsslppi Con gress. After some discussion, a motion by Delegate Ross, of Washington, that the report of the' committee on creden tials be adopted and the delegates be seated, with the exception of those The Best-Equipped Trust Company in the Northwest Established April 18, 1887.

TITLES INSURED .ABSTRACTS FURNISHED TheTitle Guarantee & Trust Co. 240-244 Washington St, Corner Second Portland, Oregon 1 from the National organization, about whose eligibility there has been some dispute, was adopted. Then a motion was made that the organizations in dispute be admitted without further discussion. This was defeated, 34S to 221. This was the first test of the strength of the two Bides, the result beinr that the Government forces were defeated. The disposition of the National organization was then referred back to the credentials com mittee. Delegates as Apportioned. The report of the committee on per manent organization and order of busi ness made the following appointments: Each state and territory having one or more delegates shall be entitled to 10 votes. Each Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Real Estate Exchange or commercial body, as well as each association of stockgrowers or lumber men, and forestry, irrigation, horticul tural organization, represented on the floor of the convention by one or more delegates, shall have five votes. No proxies shall bo allowed. Each United States Senator, Congressman' and Gov ernor and Territorial Delegate shall be given a seat in the convention. The report of the committee was adopted. At the afternoon session, the committee on credentials recommended that the delegations from the National associa tions be seated because they lived west of the Mississippi River. The report was adopted. Secretary Garfield made a lengthy argu ment in support of the position assumed by his department. He read a letter from President Roosevelt which was ad dressed to Secretary of Agriculture "Wil son, when it was expected he would be present at the convention. The letter in part follows: There has been placed in my hands a paper purporting to be Issued by the pro gramme committee of the Public Lands Convention to bo held at Denver. The pre liminary discussion of the general subject In this paper contains several statements to which I desire to call your especial at tention, as they not merely misrepresent the attitude of the administration, but portray that attitude as the direct reverse of what It really Is. The first and most important of these misstatements Is to the effect that there has been a change In the public land policy of the Government, which change will result In depriving the Western states of the right to settle the pub Ho lands with American citizens. This allegation directly reverses the actual facts. The course the Govern ment Is now pursuing Is to carry out the traditional home-making policy of the United States as to its public lands. The men most interested In opposing the action of the Administration are those who are endeavoring to upset the traditional course of the Government, and are doing all in their power to turn the public lands over to be exploited by rich men and powerful cor porations whose Interests are hostile to those of the homemakers. Settlers' Rights Come First. The policy of the present Administration has steadily been, and is now and will be, to promote and foster actual settling, actual home-making on the public lands in every possible way. ' We have Incurred the violent hostility of the individuals and corporations seeking, toy fraud, and sometimes by violence, to ac quire and monopolize great tracts of the public domain to the exclusion of settlers. The beneficiaries and Instigators of, or par ticipators Irr, the frauds, of course, disap prove the acts of the Administration. Bui if the Administration's policy is upset, the one man who would be irreparably Injured would be the settler, the homemaker, the man of small means, who has taken up a farm which he intends himself to work, and on the proceeds he Intends to support and bring up his family. Lastly, the coal lands that were with drawn from settlement to enable Congress to consider a law to protect public interests against the coal monopolies, by leasing the rights to mine the coal. Unfortunately, Congress failed to act In the matter and most of the coal lands have been already restored to- entry, while the remainder are being restored as rapidly as the necessary examinations In the field can be made. As a matter of actual fact most of the eoal lands have hitherto been taken under some forms of entry other than those of the coal entry laws, and In many cases by actual fraud. The Administration will cer tainly renew Its efforts to get Congress to pass a law which will do away with the fraud. The writers of this programme state that the plan of Government control of the range submitted to Congress last Winter Involved the perpetual ownership of the lands by the Government. This 'statement is not In ao cord with the facts. This proposed law specifically provides that the range land under Government control should be open to entry or location under all of the public land laws and provided in every way for the protection of the rights of the settler. As a matter of fact, one of the prime rea sons for advocating Its passage is because If enacted It will safeguard the rights of the homemaker on the public range far more effectively than they are now safe guarded, and would make settlement easier and safer than It can possibly be under present conditions. Land Thieves Thwarted. As to the forest reserves, their creation has damaged Just one class; the managers and owners of great lumber companies, which by -.Illegal, fraudulent or unfair methods, have desired to get possession of the valuable timber of the .public domain, to skin the land, and to abandon It when impoverished well nigh to the point ot wo rth 1 esan ess. It has been alleged that the Government Intends to make the -users of water for irri gation pay for their water. There has never been any such intention, and no such course will ever be followed while the present Administration Is In existence. But owners of water power within National forests should certainly pay something for the valuable services rendered to them by the Government. They are not being charged and cannot be charged for the water so far as the National Government is concerned, but for the protection to their water sheds which they themselves would have to bear the cost of supplying if the Government did not supply it for them. Mr. Garfield said It was 'the policy of the Interior Department to put an actual settler on every acre of agricul tural land In the forest reserves. The Secretary denied the Intention to do any thing unconstitutional in regard to the public lands. After a prolonged discus sion, the report of the committee on Sam'l Rosenblatt & Co. Corner Third and Morrison Streets resolutions was adopted and the conven tion adjourned sine die. TAFT CONSULTS PHYSICIAN Is Found to Be Suffering From FN fects of Bad Cold.
