LEADER OF REBELS
DROPS INTO PARIS
M. Albert Has Personal Con
ference With Premier
Clemenceau.
VISITOR IS REPROACHED
Bnrsting Into Tears, He Promises to
Return to , His People In the
South and There to Do
His Duty.
PARIS. June 23. The most Interesting
event today In connection with the wine
growers' revolt was the visit of Mar
celln Albert, the leader of the disturbing
element In the South of France, to Prem
ier Clemenceau. This morning the man
for whom the police and troops vainly
have been scouring the country for a
fortnight, appeared without warning at
the Ministry of the Interior. He wore
the simple garb of a southern peasant.
The cotton shirt, the silk handkerchief
around his neck, and the carpetbag In
his hand aroused the suspicion of the
corpa of detectives, now constantly
guarding the Premier. But when he had
established his Identity, Albert was ad
mitted to the presence of Clemenceau,
with whom he had a 15-mlnute talk.
Humble and Contrite.
A semi-official account of the interview
says the Premier used extremely strong
language, virtually reproaching his visi
tor with the responsibility of all that has
happened In the South the refusal to
pay taxes, the strike, the resignation of
the municipal officials and the bloodshed
that has occurred, everything lti fact.
M. Albert Is reported as having been
overcome with contrition, -bursting into
tears and asking the Premier how he
could make atonement, to which M.
Clemenceau replied:
"Give yourself up to the law, and use
your Influence with your countrymen to
return to lawful ways."
Subsequently, Albert declined to reveal
anything that had occurred during his
conference with the Premier, declaring
that he had given his word to M. Clem
enceau not to do so. He eald, however,
that he was leaving Immediately for the
South, where he Intended "to do his
duty." This leads to the presumption that
an understanding between himself and
the Premier was reached.
Pleaded Cause of M. Ferroul.
It is believed that M. Albert pleaded
the cause of M. Ferroul, the ex-Mayor of
Narbonne, and his comrades on the Ar
gelllers committee, who are under arrest,
hut on this point M. Clemenceau remains
obdurate. He again authorized the state
ment that the Government could not in
terfere with the courts.
The release and immunity from prosecu
tion of those now under lock and key
seems at this time to be the principal de
mand of the winegrowers upon the gov
ernment. The power which M. Albert's
comrades exercise, even from the Inside
of, the prison, ijs evidenced from the fact
that M. LeullUer's friends were obliged to
go with them to secure an order of re
lease before the 6ubprefect was surren
dered by the mob, who held him as a
hostage.
The fear that today, being Sunday,
would witness a renewal of the rioting
in the affected districts fortunately was
not realized. Although dispatches re
port that the populace in many cases
in still greatly excited, no incident of
violence, except the stoning of the pre
fecture at Nlmes, was reported up to
midnight.
The -various committees issued proc
lamations today adjuring the people to
keep the peace. -
Backbone of Revolt Is Broken.
"When the troops pass." says the
proclamation, "stand with folded arms
and sealed lips."
The new Argelllers committee, which
has assumed the direction of the move
ment since the arrest of its predecessor,
asks for the prolongation of the pres
ent question of acceptability of the gov
ernment's wine-fraud bill, and that
after It passes the Senate it is sub
mitted to a referendum.
Nevertheless the government believes
that the backbone of the revolt Is
broken. Several fresh regiments from
the North have arrived at the affected
points, and in addition there is a heavy
concentration of troops at Narbonne,
Montpeller and other centers of dis
turbance. Many of the smaller towns,
such as Argelllers and Blze, are now
occupied by military.
Xewspapcrmen Roughly fsed.
General Chatlley. who is in command
at Narbonne. thinks that the chief dan
ger now is from professional agitators
and anarchists. He says that he has
information that a large number of
anarchists have crossed the frontier
from Spain, but declares that he now
has a sufficient force to patrol every
foot of railroad in his territory, and
that, it necessary, he will maintain the
military occupation of the country.
The newspaper, correspondents con
tinue to have a rough time. The peas
ants view every stranger with sus
picion. Two correspondents narrowly
escaped lynching in the mistaken belief
that they were spies.
Several Deputies from the South, who
hurried home on Friday to aid in calm
ing their constituents, received such a
hostile reception that they were forced
to return to Paris.
Deputy Laffere. who proudly an
nounced in the Chamber that he was
going home to Interpose in the disturb
ance, was driven out of town. Others
were hissed and greeted with cries of
"traitors; to the gallows."
SPAIX TO PUT IT THE BARS

MADRID, June 23. Senor Laeierva.
minister of the interior, yesterday read
the lmmlRration bill in tho Cortes. The
bill provides a system of inspection and
gives the government power to tempor
arily forbid Immigration. It also forbids

The governrnent will negotiate the trea
ties with neighboring powers to prevent
clandestine immigration.
STARTS BIG POLITICAL ISSUE
British Premier to Offer Resolution
In House of Commons.
LONDON, June 23. The consideration of
the resolutions which Premier Campbell
Bannerman will move In the House of
Commons tomorrow for the cupping of the
wings of the House of Lords begins with
what will likely develop one of the greet
est political issues In the history of Great
Brifaln. The Premier calls the resolu
tion "the preface to the volume." It is as
follows: , .
"That In order to give effect to the will
of the people as expressed by their elected
representatives, it is necessary that the
power of the other house to alter or re
ject bills passed by this house should be
so restricted by law as to seeure that
within the limits of a single Parliament
the final decision of the House of Com
mons shall prevail."
SPEND SODAY TALKING DEBTS
American Peace Delegates Discuss
Projected Doctrine.
THE HAGUE. June 23. The American
delegates to the peace conference, al
though they did not hold a general meet
ing, spent the whole day Sunday discuss
ing the proposition of the United States
relating to the collection of contractual
pecuniary debts, while General Horace
Porter talked over the matter of the pro
jected doctrine with the leading Euro
pean plenipotentiaries. The impression
has been gained that neither Great
Britain, France, Germany, nor Russia
would oppose it. He will submit the re
sult of his conversations to the Amer
ican delegation at a meeting on Monday
afternoon, for a definite draft of the
proposition, which in yesterday's written
communication to the second committee
was merely outlined. European support
of the American doctrine will remove
the opposition of some of the South
American countries, which was explained
in the statement of Dr. Barboza. pres
ident of the Brazilian Senate, to the As
sociated Press. The German proposition
In the matter of an international su
preme prize court establishes its Juris
diction and the method of i its conduc
tion. Whenever the capture of a steamer
is declared valid, . the steamer and
cargo are to be disposed of ac
cording to the international laws of
the country which captured It If
the capture is declared Invalid the
steamer and cargo are to be returned and
damages with interest paid, and If the
steamer and cargo are destroyed indem
nity must be paid. The international
prize court will sit at The Hague and
must be organized the moment a marl
time war Is declared. If several coun
tries are Implicated In the same war, it
is provided that the courts are to number
as many as each couple of belligerent
powers.
The prize court will be composed of
two admirals and three members of The
Hague permanent arbitration court, each
belligerent power to pay J10.000 as the
initial expenses of the prize court, which
will be dissolved when the conflict closes.
The German proposition, in its amended
treatment of the subjects of neutral
powers, establishes that belligerents can
not employ them in warlike operations,
not even when they willingly offer their
services. Several countries such - as
France, Great Britain and Turkey, which
allow the enlistment of foreigners In
their armies or colonial troops, oppose
the German proposition. The news that
Andrew Carnegie will arrive here on
Monday afternoon to make definite ar
rangements for the laying of the corner
stone of the peace building, has been
received, with much interest. Mr. Car
negie has been Invited to Ambassador

"Personally, I believe that the strike
will be over very soon, as it lacks the
basis principles essential to the suc
cess of such movements." i
Trifling Matter That Will Soon Pass.
L. W. Storror, general superintendent
of the Postal Telegraph Company said:
"The Postal Telegraph Company has
made no effort yet to employ ' non
union telegraphers, and Its officials be
lieve that the strike of the union op
erators will cure itself. Strikes of
telegraphers generally do. Things will
probably remain chaotic for a few days
to come. Then telegraphers will begin
to drift in from different outside points
and no trouble will be experienced In
filling the places vacated. It will not
take the union operators very long to
realize the mistake they have made by
striking and come back to us.
"We have already received a num
ber of applications for places, but so far
have not accepted any of them. The com
ing of other operators here, I regard
almost a certain as a fixed natural
law, and this and the defections that
are bound to occur in the ranks of
the strikers will ultimately end
the trouble and bring about normal
conditions again. I regard the strike
as most unjustifiable and ill-advised."
STRIKEBREAKERS EX ROUTE
Two Carloads Headed for Bay City.
Are Streetcar Men or Operators.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 23. Two car
loads of strikebreakers, herded by Pinker
ton detectives, passed through this city
at S:30 this afternoon for San Francisco.
Little satisfactory Information could be
gleaned here. To newspapermen some of
those aboard the train said they were
operators, but to delegates of the Teleg
raphers' Union they Insisted that they
were streetcar men and were expected to
go to work only after the present' trou
bles at the Bay City were over. The
hands of most of the men Indicated that
they were not laborers. None stopped In
this city.
SMALL'S ACTION" IS INDORSED
New York Telegraphers Back Up the
Work of the National Officers.
NEW YORK, June 23. The local
branch of the Commercial Telegraph

No. 264 handles all the work of the
Portland and Asiatio Steamship Com
pany and the San Francisco and Port
land Steamship Company, and No. 265
handles all the cargo ami lumber ves
sels and also the boats of the North
Pacific Steamship Company. Under No.
265 comes also the Alliance and the
F. A, Kilburn regular passenger boats.
Men working under the charter of
Union No. 264 receive 40 cents an hour
for nine hours and 60 cents for over
time. Men working tramps and coast
ing steamers, members of Union No.
265, receive 55 cents an hour and 82 H
cents for overtime. On lumber ships
the rate is 50 cents and 75 cents. It
is the intention of both unions to make
the maximum rate apply for all cargo
Bhlps. The lumber rate will hold at
50 cents and 75 cents.
Early in May the members of local
No. 264 took the matter of raising
rates up with the San Francisco &
Portland Steamship Company and the
matter was referred to the manage
ment of the Harriman lines. No re
sponse has been received and the men
are getting restless.
Portland is the only Coast city where
the union of longshoremen is strong.
The differential in rates has always
been a matter that caused trouble
among members of the respective
unions. In San Francisco the rates
for men along shore are 60 cents and
$1 for overtime, on all craft except the
Pacific Mail Company, whose men are
under contract at 50 cents and 75 cents.
In Seattle there is a uniform rate of 5J
cents and 75 cents on all classes of
work. All vessels are treated alike.
In all ports, Sundays, holidays and
nights are treated as overtime.
Members of the locals in the city say
that there is no reason for discriminat
ing in the rates granted for loading
and discharging; coasting steamers.
The North Pacific Steamship Company
is operating two steamers regularly
between Portland and San Pedro and
it is said that a third steamer has been
secured to go on the run and alternate
with the Roanoke and George W.
Elder. The union men argue that If
this state of affairs exists there must
be enough money in the San Francisco
and Portland exchequer to pay a like

EVASIONS UNDER THE LAW
Juggling of Justice Is Alleged in Sev
. era! Nearby Jury Trials.
HOT LAKE, Or.. June 21. (To the Edi
tor.) The editorial In last Wednesday's
Oregonian entitled "Respect for the
Law," together with some recent remark
able juggling of Justice by the courts of
the various states, has led the writer to
venture to call attention to some most
alarming discriminations and to ask if,,
through The Oregonian, anyone can sug
gest some remedy which. If followed -up
by all believers In a square deal, will
result ultimately in a correction of such
privileges?
"Wherein lies the fault? Is It not. that
our judges are given too much latitude?
Why should it not be well for courts to
"enact new laws, fix the penalties, and
sentence the offenders, without Jury
trial?" Is it not true that the court in
structs the Jury as it sees fit, and can
not only influence the Jury's verdict but
has absolute power to set aside any
verdict they may reach? Is it not a mat
ter of record that a court in the City of
Portland within the past few years set
aside the verdict of 36 men as excessive,
and finally after three trials compelled
litigants to settle out of court?
Why the expense and delay of a Jury
trial, under such a system? If space
would permit, many cases of Juries" find
ings having been set aside by the court
could be cited in fact, it Is almost a
dally occurrence. Why take jurymen
from their means of livelihood, to find
verdicts to be thus handled? In the
Idaho land fraud cases, why were Keeter
and Kettenbach, cashier and president
respectively of the Lewiston National
Bank, who through their actions took
over 5400.000 of the Government's money,
each sentenced to pay a small fine and
serve eight months in Jail, while Dwyer
and Robbins, the latter a young man
without guile, highly respected and
trustworthy to a remarkable degree'when
he entered the employ, of these men,
about 1900, and who has rather been made
a tool of than a criminal sentenced to
pay a fine and serve 12 and 18 months,
respectively. In stripes? Why less for
the principals? Why so little punishment
for any or all of them?
A young man -named Duke was a few
days ago given three years in stripes
for signing another man's name to a
check for $37, and a first offense, too. In
three similar cases at Gray's Harbor, all
young men prisoners, one got two and
one-half years' imprisonment and the
other two got three years each, as the
writer recalls the story, for something
like a total of $112. In such propositions,
what should be the Idaho penalties? The
same judge in Gray's Harbor caused a
City Treasurer who had failed to ac
court for some $15,000 of the city's funds
to serve a sentence which kept him away
from home but 18 months and a Spokane
man got seven years for stealing a
hundred-weight of eggs for food.
"Respect for the law!" Why? Because
the heavy offenders are given light sen
tences and the light offenders heavy sen
tences? I venture the assertion that
there are more hardened criminals made
by harsh dealing and long terms in jail
for young men under the present system,
than by any other means. The law's in
tent is to reform, its application the re
verse. Wherein lies the fault? Truly
"man s inhumanity to man makes count
less thousands mourn."

Encouraging Facts Discovered In Hie
Quest for the Ammunition AVith
Which to Attack the Ore

Delving into old records and law
tomes. B. D. Townsend. United States
Attorney from North Dakota, Is bent
on finding a way to force the Oregon
California and the Southern Pacific
Railroads to disgorge their granted
lands at $2.50 an acre; He believes
that the Government can win against
the railroads and thereby open 3,000,
000 acres of land to purchase and set
tlement, according to the terms of acts
of Congress of April 10, 1869, and May
4. 1870:
Mr. Townsend declines to reveal the
procedure the Government will adopt
in bringing suit, or the precise lines
of his investigations. Last Friday he
was in conference with W. C. Hawley,
Representative In Congress for the
First Oregon District. Both were well
pleased with the results of their meet
ing and strengthened each other's be
lief that the railroad can be made to
come to time.
Prior to coming to Oregon Mr. Town
send discussed the matter with Sena
tor Bourne in Washington and it is
understood that Senator Bourne was
well impressed with his abilities. His
coming to Oregon is partly due to the
Influence of Senator Bourne.
Yesterday Mr. Townsend said that
he has been examining the acts of
Congress and the early history of the
two Oregon Central Railroads and the
Oregon & California in -connection
therewith. Thie week he plans to
visit Salem for an Inspection of state
records and later to visit several points
in Western Oregon to learn facts about
the route of the railroad, the nature
of the land, and the need of opening
It to settlement. After that he will
consult records of the Land Depart
ment in Washington.
He says that action will begin in the
courts within a short time, the length
of the interval depending on the ex
tent that the Department of Justice
will aid him with clerical assistance.
Mr. Townsend received a good send
off from the newspapers of Fargo,
when starting for Portland. The Far
go Forum and the Fargo Morning Call
published In part as follows:
Fargo Forum: For some time past the
department has seriously considered the
advisability of pushing a prosecution In the
Southern Pacific cases, following a pre
liminary report made by Nathan V. Harlan.
United States Attorney for the third division
of Alaska, who has b.en engaged In an
Investigation during his absanco from bis
post on account of ill health. The Govern
ment now desires Attorney Townsend to
take charge of the investigation.
The Government has been seeking Mr.
Townsend's services for aome time, and he
was tendered the Job of probing the Inter
national Harvester trust, about two months
ago. Congress at Its last session having or
dered an investigation of this corporation
on a resolution- offered, together with con
siderable valuable evidence, by Senator H.
C Hansbrough of North Dakota. It was
learned today that Mr. Townsend bad de
clined the offer to probe the harvester com
pany because of other duties that claimed
his attention at that time.
. Fargo Morning Call: Whan Mr. Townsend
left last evening he wore an expression
similar to that seen on his face when he
left for Bismarck to take up the temperance
commissioner case, which presages confi
dence and probable success In bis efforts on
behalf of XJncla Sam. He goes with the
best wishes of many friends In this city
and over the state.
