OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 7. President Taft today discussed with the Cabinet the fight that has arisen between Senator Bourne and Representative Ellis over the selection of register and receiver for the Vale Land Office, and after hearing the views of his advisers, he took the matter under advisement, and will announce his decision later in the week.

AGAINST NEGRO REGIMENT Continued From ylrat Paire. that a black battalion had been ordered here from the Philippines a protest was made by the people of Interbay to Secre tary of War Dickinson, who in reply pent a letter saying that there need be no fear of the negro soldiers misbe having. The colored soldiers have given no trouble to the downtown people. They arc men of fine physique, spotless In their dress, and not given to frequenting the downtown saloons. The officers gave the men to understand that they must be on their good behavior and live down the prejudice against them. First Complaint in 1909. On February 11, 1909, the first com plaint was made against tlve soldiers, when Mrs. C B. Aizada reported that she had been attacked by a uniformed negro In the neighborhood of the fort. General Rnlph W. Hoyt made a thorough Investigation and exonerated the negro troops. It is paid, however, that in the last six weeks there have been a number of complaints that the colored soldiers have insulted women. Private Pledser was turned over to the Si-attic police today, by Colonel Miller, af ter having been identified as the man who forced his way into the home of Mrs. Redding Saturday night. The seven negro soldiers who were absent from the post Saturday were marched under heavy guard today to tho home of Mrs. Redding. 31ie at once picked out Bledser from the seven as her nssailant. Kleven-year-old Ethel Redding, daughter of the injured woman, picked Bledser from the set-en. She had identified him yesterday. Pri- ' vatest Ford and Thomas, who were among the men absent from the post Saturday nlght. are the ones Mil! in the guard house, but it is officially mated that their offense Is purely military. It is believed they gave false testimony re garding KJedser's whereabouts on Satur day night. After Bledser's arrest he waxed his mustache and changed his appearance thereby, but Colonel Miller ordered the wax removed. Bledser Remains Silent. Bledser has betrayed no anxiety throughout the ordeal and has made no statement. x To a delegation of citizens of Fort Law ton district who urged him to assist in obtaining the removal of negro troops from the Army post. Mayor Gill said yes terday: "The negro troops should be removed. With a hundred policemen the city could not guard the Fort Lawton district against depredations. There is between 10 and 12 miles of territory, heavily wooded and with scarcely any streets or lights at present, and it is out of the question, for the city to attempt to police such a district against prowlers such as have been causing the trouble. They are situated in Seattle in such e. place that it is out of the question for the city gov ernment to afford ample protection to women and children against prowling men of desperate character." DR.GOLDWiN SMITH DIES NOTED REFORMER AXD WRITER PASSES IX TORONTO. In Civil War He Sided With North, and Advocated Union of Canada With United States. TORONTO. June 7. Professor Gold win Smith died this afternoon, aged 87. Since the death of his wife last. Sum mer, the infirmities of old age had been creeping rapidly on Dr. Smith, and several months ago he gave up all his literary work. On February 2 he was walking through the hall of his home when he tripped and fell, fracturing his thigh bone. On account of the patient's advanced age the bones would not knit. Anything that savored of reform in terested Professor Smith. His first work in making conditions better was in the way of university reform, when he was connected with the Oxford Commission, in the early 60s. This brought about numerous changes in the university system. He was born in 1823 and graduated from Oxford in 1845. During the Civil War Professor Smith, then reglus professor of modern history in Oxford, turned his attention to reformation politically. He was a warm champion of the North, and in the Daily News conducted a vigorous campaign against the pro-Southern tendencies of the Times. In 1868 he came to the newly-organized Cornell University as professor of English and constitutional history. He resigned three years later, but re tained a non-resident professorship. After he left Cornell, Professor Smith went to Toronto, making his home there for the remainder of his life. Here he carried on his work in the in terests of reform, giving forth volumi nous writings on a diversity of sub jects. . He believed in the ultimate union of Canada and the United States. As part of his historical work he shed much light on the relations Between England and Ireland, asserting that the struggle of the Irish is simply an attempt to regain the land of which they had been deprived. In later years Professor Smith turned his at- tention to questions of civic reform. NOTION DEFEATS LAW PIBLIC SENTIMENT GREATER THAN STATUTE, SAYS JUDGE. Though Saloonkeeper Violated Sun day Closing, It Does ' Not Affect Naturalization. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 7. (Spe cial.) Judge J. V. Quaries declares that public sentiment is greater than law, for in an opinion handed down today in the case of Albert P. Hopp, a saloonkeeper, who was admitted to citizenship, although it was shown that he transgressed the law in that he kept his place open on Sundays, the court said: "The Roman maxim that the voice of the people is the voice of God, is just as true today as it was then. Any Legislature that establishes police reg ulations in defiance of public senti ment must suffer the humiliation of seeing their mandate disregarded." The court pointed to the fact that 75 per cent of the people of Milwaukee are foreign born, and that a majority of its '350,000 Inhabitants are of Ger man extraction. He said that in Mil waukee there are 2000 saloons, and that, although the Sunday closing law had been on the books for 40 years, no attempt has been made to en force it. American Girl Wins at London.

DR. BLACK HAS COUP Bomb Is Hurled Into Camp of, Dalzell, in Pittsburg. DISTRICT HELD ILLEGAL Defeated Congressional Candidate Says Victorious Opponent Won by Votes Which Do Not Belong in "the Thirteenth." PITTSBURG. Pa.. June 7. (Special.) Dr. Robert J. " Black, hitherto noted as the defeated candidate for the Re publican Congressional nomination in the Thirtieth district, sprang a sen sation in the County Commissioner's of fice, by charging that a large part of the territory in which votes were cast in Saturday's primaries did not belong to the district. He declared that even if it is finally shown that John Dalzell, his closest opponent, received a plurality of votes, Dalzell cannot be the nominee. He says the disputed territory, which is south of the Youghiogheny River in Alle gheny County, is not entitled to Con gressional representation and that Dal zell carried this territory, according to the unofficial returns, by a plurality of 640. He also states that Dalzell's plur ality for. the whole Congressional dis trict was only 218. By wiping out the disputed territory. Black claims a plur ality of 250. The controversy is the result of an act reapportioning the Congressional districts passed and signed by the Gov ernor at the 1909 session of the Legis lature. Through Rn error, one of the amendments was not certified to the printer, and a portion of the territory lies within the boundaries of two dis tricts. Dr. Black' says he has had detec tives at work and- that they can prove fraud in many voting districts through out the district He says the fight has just started and that Dalzell cannot be seated.
