TIIJjAMOOK, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) laBt night a number ol the principal busi lii'RB men and shippers got together for an informal meeting in regard to the steamer which is to be put on from Portland to this city. Although.no action was taken they were unanimous in promising to sup port the new boat for the business men 1rel"er to trade with Portland and have for a long time wanted a Bteamer to run direct here from-that city. Unless this is done soon, a large amount of the business from here which now goes to Portland, will go to San Francisco, where freight rates will be one-half what they are now from Portland. It costs the merchants and shippers Jfi.30 a ton from Portland to TUlamotik. There were over 40.0UO tooxes of cheese shipped from this city to Portland last year and the dairy men are complaining about - the cost of shipping the home product to the Portland markets, it costing nearly half a cent a pound, or 28' cents a box, made up as follows: One cent per box for wharfage in Tillamook City; 124 cents per box from Tillamook to Astoria, and 15 cents per box from Astoria to Portland. Another meeting is to be held on Satur day afternoon, at which the dairymen are Invited, when it will be decided whether the business men and dairy associations will take stock in the new proposition to give Tillamook direct transportation facil ities with Portland. There is not the least doubt about the new steamer being well' patronised by the business men and shippers here, for this is what they have long desired. RUSSIA'S NEW WAR FLEET Ovt-r 91,000,000,000 to Be Spent In Nine Years. ST. PKTKKrfBl'RG. Feb. 20. Represen tatives of the Russian Admiralty sub mitted 'today to the committee on Na tional defense of the Douma, the finan cial outline of the much-discussed naval programme. The programme is to be completed in lPlf, and- Includes not only the conbtruu- tion of a fleet, of battleships., but also a certain amount of hydros raphic work at several ports. The expenditures Involved amount to Jl.WS.OOO.OOO, and increase year ly from 143,500,000 for 1908 to a maximum of $126,000,000 In the 'year 1914. The expen diture then decreases to $S5,000.000 in 1918 and the subsequent expenditures are to be maintained at . this figure. - One of the features of the programme Is a dupli cate complement of guns for every ship to be constructed. In reply to a question, Admiral Wire nius, chief of the general staff of the navy, declared that the Russian yards would be able to handle and complete the entire programme. The first ships are to be completed in four years and the others in three years. CHINESE CASES RESUMED Recent Ruling ' to Govern Habeas Corpus Proceedings. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. The first Chinese habeas corpus case to be tried since the recent Supreme" Court decision in the Chin Tow case began before Judge Dehaven today. Wing See Ten, who con tends that he was unjustly denied ad mission to the country by Commissioner of Immigration North, attempted to get the evidence reviewed in the United States District Court before the question whether the hearing before the Com mission had been fair had been decided upon. Judge Dehaven, following the ruling In the Chin Tow case, would not hear the evidence until the other point had been determined. Chin Tow, the question of whose admission has become a test case, has been detained In San Francisco three years pending hearing and re-hearlng. Appeal . From Sailors' Verdict.

ARE AFTER T3ILETZ TIMBER SETTLERS COMPLAIX OF THE SCHEME AMONG LAWYERS. Special Agent Will Investigate. Lafferty indignantly Denies Any thing to Warrant the Charge. , OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, FeJ. 20. At tho instance of Sena tor Bourne, the Commissioner 'of the Gen eral' Land Office has directed Special Agent Glavls to investigate alleged con spiracy on the part of certain Portland attorneys to dispossess homesteaders of 'holdings in the Siletz Indian Reservation and to exact blackmail from settlers against whom contests have been insti gated. ' The action of the Commissioner grows out of complaints filed with Senator Bourne by Lee Smith and Eva C. Smith, of Dallas, that contests had been filed against them by Joseph Parker, and that later they received letters from William Gv Gosslln, offer ing: to arrange with the contestant for a consideration, and from A. W. Laffer ty offering to guarantee a patent- for $500. Many similar cases are known to exist, and the department will investi gate with a view to prosecution of the parties found guilty of crime In rela tion to extensive -contesting of Siletz homesteaders. . LAFFERTY DEFENDS HIMSELF Is Supporting Smiths In Fight to Maintain Claims. A. W. Lafferty, when shown the above dispatch, made the following statement: "The connection of my name with those trying to dispossess Siletz settlers or . levy blackmail upon them is out rageously false. It Is true that t offered to defend the Smith contests for a con tingent fee of J500 each, and guarantee a patent or no fee, and that is my usual fee for such cases when I guarantee to win or charge no fee. The Smith claims are worth at least 110.000 . each. The de fense of the canes will involve an im mense amount of work. After the trials here the cases will go to the Commis sioner of the General Land Office, and then to the Secretary of the Interior. The litigation will last a year and a half at the shortest. In all my cases I ap- Jpear aX Washington twice, once when the cases are before the Commissioner and again .when they are before the Secretary- Besides, I file briefs that it takes weeks to prepare. "Lee Smith was contested by Joseph Parker, and Eva C. Smith was contested by F. W Newell. Lee Smith told me some time ago .that one y. G. Goslin had written him pretending to have au thority to get Parker to dismiss for a consideration. I told Smith to give Gos lin nothing and to report the matter to the General Land Office, and advised him that, should Parker dismiss, some one else would probably file another con test, leaving him where he was before. "I have steadfastly refused to take a single contest against one of these set tlers. The result is that I am employed in the defense of nearly every one. I employed ex-Senator John M. Gearln to assist me in these cases, and he gets half my fee Jn every case in which he appears. "The Siletz Indian reservation was opened to settlement under a three-year hornestead act only. ' Claims there could be taken tinder that act and no other. It is the heaviest body bf fir timber in the world today. Poor people were at tracted to these claims and took them up and lived there for three years, made proof and went away. They were sus pended by a blanket order of the Secre tary of the Interior November 12, 1903, and were held up from that time until I took up their cause about a year ago. No contests were filed until special agents of the General Land Office had first made charges against many of the entries and notified the entrymen that they would have to face a Government hearing looking to the cancellation of the-entries. "There cannot possibly be a farm made In that locality in the next 10 years and the entries should be patented to the first crop of settlers. To cut all that timber down now, when there is no mar ket for it, would be a commission of waste against future generations and would be criminal. When railroads are built into the vicinity, the claim holders can sell the logs off their claims for $100 or, more -per acre, and 'then the claims f will be valuable for farms and orchards and can be made -into real homes, and not before."

Makes Test Cases on Perjury and Forgery Charges Against In- ' ' surance Officials. NEW TORK. Feb. 20. John R. Heg ' eman, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, presented himself at the office of the District At torney today and was formally, placed under-arrest on charges of perjury and forgery. The charges are the same on which Mr. Hegeman was Indicted re cently. There t were seven charges of forgery and three of perjury. When the indictments were returned. Judge Dowling dismissed the forgery charges and sustained those alleging perjury. District Attorney Jerome and J. D. Lindsay, counsel for liegeman, expressed dissatisfaction with Justice Dowling's action and it was agreed that an appeal be taken. It is said that upon the decision which will result from the appeal will hang all the pend ing prosecutions against various insur ance officials in matters of annual re ports. Immediately after his arrest Hege jnan was arraigned in the Police Court and held. A few moments later Judge Platzek, in the Supreme Court, issued a writ of habeas corpus directing the warden of the Tombs to produce Mr. Hegeman in the Supreme Court this afternoon. When Hegeman was taken to the Supreme Court, the writ of ha beas corpus was dismissed by agree ment and he wtis paroled in the cus tody of one of the District Attorney's detectives, pending an appeal to the ap pellate division of the' Supreme Court.
