THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1908. CM FOR ACTION ON LAND GRITS Hawley Urges House Commit tee to Pass the Fulton ' Resolution. TELLS OREGON'S WRONGS iMtu Committee Considers Question After Hearing 'ccessity of Action.. Resolution Sent to Sub committee by Mondell. ORTDGOXIAN XEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. Xv Senator Fulton's resolu. tlon authorizing the Department of Jus tice to Institute suit against the Oregon & California Railroad Company was re ferred to the House committee on public land, instead' of to the committee on judiciary, as had been anticipated. It rame over from the Senate only yes terday, and this morning Representative Hawley, who was the first member of the delegation to take active interest in the KOlution of the land grant problem, .ap peared before the land committee and made an exhaustive explanation of the resolution and necessity for 'its early pa.ssape. Ho went into the history of the grant, pointed out the manner in which the railroad company has violated and icnored the law, and also impressed on the committee the fact that the Depart ment of Justice is unable to proceed until Congress especially authorizes suit. Mr. Hawley succeeded in demonstrating to the committee the importance of this matter to Oregon, and closed with an urcent plea for a favorable report. Representative Mondell, chairman of the public lands committee, thought the phraseology of the resolution should be examined Into before any action is taken and therefore referred' it to a sub-committee for a preliminary report. Mondell would alter the phraseology of the Ten Commandments if they should be referred to his committee, so his action today is not significant. Mr. Hawley pro poses to press the resolution as rapidly as possible, and present indications point to early action. ment to go responsible a. position should not have been made. It was pointed out that he was connected with the Postofflce Department during the recent scandals, holding a position of tryst, and it was sairt that he should have been cognizant of the wrongdoing on the part of his su periors. It was shown, however, that Mr. Grand field received the promotion to First As sistant Postmaster-Geenral because of his long service in the department, end that he had earned an enviable reputation. It was also intimated that the appoint ment was in the interest of tho nomina tion of Secretary Taft for President, Mr. Grandfleld having been the chief clerk undr ex-First Assistant Postmaster-General Hitchcock, who is now a Taft man ager. This suggestion elicited no re sponse, however, and Mr. Grandfleld was confirmed without a rollcall. ROAD'S EARNINGS "GROW. Great Northern Has Biggest Busi ness in History. ST.

Shortly afterward she left tho palace and went to the rest dence of her mother in order to reassure her and prove that she had not been in jured. ' Had it not been for the promptness of the motorman on the car shutting off the current and Jammingdown the brakes tho royal phaeton would have been crushed to pieces. As It was, the vehicle was thrown against one of tlis iron standards carrying the electric wire and pinned between this post and the car it self.
