TTTE MORXIXO OltEGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1909. BONAPARTE GIVES TILLMAN REPLY- Senator Posed as Zealous in Public Duty and Did Not Talk of Buying Land. SLUR AT ROOSEVELT FALSE Attorney-General Shows by Begin ning of Forfeiture Suit That In sinuation Made by the Senator la Entirely tnfounded. WASHINGTON'. Jan. it Attorney-General Bonaparte Issued a statement Uidajr replying to that part of the speecli of Senator Tillman delivered yesterday. In which he declared that the resolution in regard to the Oregon land grants In troduced by him In the Senate, January II. IS", had been prepared by the Attorney-General and that his "interest In the matter had first been aroused by a desire to purchase some timber lands." Sir. Bonaparte baa also replied to Mr. Tillman's remarks In the Senate last Feb urary that he bad not "bought any land anywhere In the West or undertaken to buy any." The Attorney-General says: Two Passages Demand Notice. "There are two passages In the remarks of Senator Tillman, published In today's ( 'ongrcssiomU Rcord. which demand no tice from me. He says: "It might be well to Inquire whether or not the Attorney-General has been ordered not to obv the law of Congress passed last Apii! which I will call the Tlllman-Bona-paxte Law ordering suit to be Instituted for the recovery OX the lands. The ni!n who announces t Congress that ha." Theodore no-eveit. assumed the right to permit tha ateel trust to abaord Its greatest rival contrary to law would doubtless not h-altata t h-ip hla dear friend Harriman In hoMing 2.0o.0)O acre of the public domain, simply because Hen Till man contemplated and wante to bur 1440 acrea Suit Brought to Forfeit. "On September 14. 190S. suit was brought by the United States In the Circuit Court of the United States, for the distrct of Oregon, agranst the Ore iron & California Railroad Company, the Southern Pacific Company, the United States Trust Company, Indi vidually and as trustee. Stephen Gage, Individually and as trustee, and a large number of Individual defendants. It has been brought in accordance with the directions of the Joint resolution to which Senator Tillman refers. "Senator Tillman says in another part of his speech: In my conversation with the Attorney Canrral In record to the resolution which I Introduced and which he hlmseif prepared after we had talked over tli whole ques tion. 1 distinctly remember telling him that my Interest In the matter had been aroused by my desire to purchaae some of the tim ber lands and that my coming to him was due to the Act that I discovered on Inves tigation tat I couid not buy through any agency whatsoever. Tillman's Reason for Action. "Senator Tillman called upon me at the Department of Justice a few daya before the Introduction by blm of the resolution he presented to the Senate January 31. 19uS. He told me be wished to know the status of the land em braced In these Oregon grants, because be had beard so much complaint of the corporations claiming them during his rJ-'nt Journey through the states of th"paelfic slope. "He said that the lands had become of great value and many persona wished to purchase them, and added that he would have been glad to do so himself, if he could, but he never told me a word of any connection on his part with an arrangement to acquire some part of these lands. As stated by him. hla reason for making these Inquiries was that he might better discharge his public duties. That He Might Do Duty. ""I gave him a full statement of the Information which had been collected by the department as the result of an In vestigation made by Messrs. Townscoil and McBlalr as spe-clal counsel. I told him that we deemed It advisable to se cure Congressional action In the form of a resolution empowering the Attorney t'reneral to claim a forfeiture of these lands. Senator Tillman then offered to Introduce a resolution on the subject If I would prepare one: and I did prepare such a resolution, which was Introduced by him and subsequently adopted. I dealt with htm throughout as asking for In formation and advice. If I could give It. only that he might fulfill his duty as a public officer." BANK CHANGES EXPECTED Resignation of vr York Financiers Causes Little Comment. NEW YORK.

Hlne, but re mained aa chairman of the board of directors. Mr. S'.lllman also remained chairman of the board of directors).

That State ment No. 1 Will PurfTy the Politics of Oregon" was discussed last night at the meeting of the Men Club of Centenary Methodist Church. East Ninth street, by four young men, and the audience de cided In favor of the negative. Rev. Clarence True Wilson, the pastor, "pre sided. Thomaa Leonard and Glenn R. Johnson upheld the affirmative. Mr. Leonard de clared corruption had been practiced In the election of Oregon Senators. He con tended that under the operation of State ment No. 1 opportunity for corrupt prac tices Is largely eliminated. The affirma tive also pointed out that In the old method practlcaly the whole session waa occupied in the election of United States Senator. A. 9. Thompson and E. R. Abbett rep resented the negative. Mr. Thompson de clared that the United States Is governed by politics and anything that tends to change thla method subverts Ita very foundation. Statement No. 1. he Bald, Introduces dry-rot Into the politics of the country and leaves nothing but an In dividual scramble for office, which the man of wealth Is sure to secure In the end. He declared that in Oregon no poor man or man of moderate means could af ford to become a candidate for United States Senator. Senator Bourne, declared Mr. Thompson, spent thousands of dol lars in his campaign. It was pointed out that he flooded the state with literature and' personal letters months before the election. The negative also contended that the opportunity for corrupt prac tices waa even greater under the opera tion of the primary law and Statement No. 1 than ever before, and clinched thla argument by pointing .to the large regis tration of Democrats aa Republicans for political purposes. After the question was thoroughly dis cussed, the audience waa asked to vote on the merits of the discussion and not on personal views, with the result that the negative was given the decision. !5T TO HAVE TTtOTESTS OX FREIGHT IN CREASE WILL BE RECEIVED.

I told him I believed many abuses were due to the attempts of rivals to gain advantages by petty means and sharp practices. However, I said I did not like the Idea of having a Union Pa ciiic director on our board. "Mr. Harrlman suggested that he be given a place on the Atchison board and offered me a place on the executive com mittee of the Union Pacific or Southern Pacific . Let in Rogers and Frlck. "About the time of the stockholders' meeting In 1904, the difficulty had not yet been adjusted. Mr. Harrlman banded me proxies for 2S0.OUO shares of stock, not to be wed unless we reached an agree ment before the meeting. "Then our difficulties were by that time very few. He had agreed that the Southern Pacific should build a low grade line from Pho?rlx to Deming and give the Atchison the privilege at any time to arrange traffic rights on very favorable terms. He de3ired that we should not move traffic over the lino to 3 Paso, where we would connect with the Union Pacific, Rock Island and other lines. I did not attach much Importance to thla Some time after ho yielded on all points remaining aud Mr. Rogers and Mr. Frlck were then elected to our board and one of them, Mr. Rogers, to the executive com mittee. "Mr. Harrlman and I were quite open with each other. I realized that the gen tlemen named could have elected four members with the 2O.0X) shares of stock, constituting one quarter of the IS board members. If they desired to. That would have taken four years to do, one a year. "He pointed out. or I pointed out, that it would not be well to have a board of directors divided against Itself." Harrlman Did Not Meddle. "What kind of directors were Mr. Frlck and Mr. Rogers?" asked counsel for the railroad companies. "They are very zealous. I don't recall any question raised on account of their connection with the Southern Paciflo or Union Pacific," replied Mr. Morawitz. "Did Mr. Harrlman ever try to exert any Influence over Atchison matters?" "He never did." The witness said he had never heard of a relaxation of competition between Atchison and Southern Pacific. Mr. Severance, of counsel for the Gov ernment, asked Mr. Mnrawitz If he thought it the proper thln to turn the Phoenix & . Enstern lines over to the Southern Pacific when the people had given every right of way for a oom-p-t!ng line. "I am not sure I know It," Mr. Mora wits replied. Not Moved by Petty Things. The witness under cross-examination admitted that the "link" that had been turn"d over to the Southern Paciflo would have connected with the California Coast, Mexico and tha Northwest. Mr. Severance quoted Ugal authority for the statement that the board of direc tors of the company should not have as members directors of a rival company. "i'ou don't think accordingly." he said, "that Mr. Rogers or Mr. Frick should .have been among the directors T' "That does not follow." "Why are they better than other men?" "I have not found In my large ex perience that gentlemen of large affairs aro influenced by petty things." "Not by such trifling things as self-Interest r "Not by small affairs." The hearing was adjourned until t P. M. tomorrow.

This afternoon a rescue party had not been able to enter the mine, on account of the Intense heat. It is thought that following the explosion the mine caught fire, although little smoke is finding its way out. The mine officials refuse to give an estimate of the number that might have met death, but at the pit mouth it Is believed that 100 may have perished. . The officials cannot now sug gest a cause for the explosion. Miners place the blame on some of the foreign miners, who may have entered with an open lamp. Beliere All Have Perished. A late estimate places the number of men entombed at more than 100. That all of them are dead there can bo no doubt- The fire in the mine and the deadly gases preclude any chance of reecuins- any of them. The main entry of the mine is four miles long.

Tflnnn: Trta RnTen- Laughter, Digestion And Health An eminent Russian physician has stated his opinion that laughter is one of the best means known to science for the correction of Dyspepsia, stomach and nervous diseases. Laughter, however, in a dyspeptic Is like the memory of running brooks and shady glens to the famishing and dying man lost in the desert. If one could hut know all the causes, reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one would not wonder at a half-hearted-ness of a dyspeptic's gaiety. There is a ceaseless call for appetite, food and enjoyment to a dyspeptic, coupled with a morose, moody belief and knowledge that such a call is mockery and if indulged in will bring discomfort, pain and regret. Perhaps if it were understood that the digestive system, including mouth, throat and alimentary canal, embrac ing as It does the stomach, is composed of membraneous tissue filled with mil lions of small nerves, which control added millions of little mouths or suckers. Perhaps if this were known men could more comprehensively under stand that to disarra"ge such a sys tem would mean Indeed Intense physi cal pain. Now suppose that this alimentary canal Is a mass of worn-out, debili tated nerves and mouths, each suffer ing excruciating physical pain and dis comfort, and uppose such a canal filled with the fumes and foul odors and do cayed food from the last meal, and one has a slight idea as" to the lack of laughter of a dyspeptic. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the highest digestive Ingredients one grain of a single Ingredient being capable of digesting 3000 grains of food relieves the alimentary canal of Its onerous duties, assists It along its entire length (30 feet) to perform Its routine, imparts strength and buoy ancy to the stomach and gives back to the blood a strong, healthy nourish ment. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are natur al adjuncts to digestion. They do not falsely stimulate an already weakened machine, but build up where building is needed and remove where removal is necessary.
