BEVERJL.T, Mass., July 12. President taft talked politics today with Senator Crane, of Massachusetts; Attorney -General Wickersham and Secretary Xagel, of the Department of Commerce and "Labor. Their conference lasted until f after o'clock tonight. Extreme reticence wag displayed by everybody - and no statement other than that the general situation was discussed could be obtained. Senator Crane was close to the Presi dent in the last session of Congress and wag a daily visitor at the White Housi . Taft Still Hopeful. The President was reported tonighu to be well satisfied with general conditipns and hopeful of reporting success fall along the line." It was definitely determined this at noon that Attorney-General "Wickercyiam will accompany Secretary Nage to Alaska. The situation In that teratory has given the President much copern. Serious factional fights have ben in progress there for several years Ex treme bitterness has been displayed. Each time an appointment has beei made to a Federal office, a campaign hs been started against the appointee. T!je fights have been carried to Washington from time to time. ' The delegate from Alaska, Mr Wicker sham, who is in no way related to the Attorney-General, is at loggerifeads with the Administration. The President has. found if necessary lately to remove a number of Alaskan officials. Several men, wlrwn he ap pointed to succeed these, filled of con firmation and made it necessary for the President to resort to reces-s appoint ments, Taft Seeks Reliable Information. Mr. Taft wants as much first-hand in formation as he can get on the situa tion. - He believes, the Attorney-General and Mr. Nage! can bring him this infor mation. The two Cabinet officials will sail from Vancouver on the forthcoming steamer Albatross. They will go west through Canada, leaving Montreal next Monday morning. On the way back from Canada, Secretary Nagel will stop at Seattle and Portland. While in Alaska, Secretary Nagel will look into the salmon fisheries and will also investigate the lighthouse situation. The adiministration of affairs in Alaska is almost wholly in the hands of the United States attorneys and marshals of the three divisions. These officers are supposed to act in harmony with the Governor In some of the divisions, it is said, there, has been anything but harmony. Attorney-General "Wicket-sham is largely responsible for the District Attorneys and Marshals, and he is anxious to get some informa ' tion for his own guidance. The trip of the two Cabinet officers will cover two or three months. JAPAN AND RUSSIA AGREE 'Continued From First Page.) press recognition of the principle of equal opportunity in the Far East and a promise by the two governments not to interfere therewith. It also recog nized the Independence and territorial Integrity of China- Otlier Powers Satisfied. Reiteration of. loyalty to these prin ciples, taken in connection with the general principle that two powers can not bargain away the rights of a third nation, such as the United States as serted European powers were about to do in regard to the Chinese railroad loan, makes the new treaty unobjec tionable, it is understood here, to either the United States, Great Britain or Germany. v It is known that the British govern ment agrees with the Government of the United StAtes that the open door policy Is substantially included in the new treaty and that the policy must be safeguarded in present and in future ar rangements. No doubt is felt here that the German government, which re cently has co-operated with the United States in the Far East, takes the same view. AMERICAN ATTITUDE WATCHED German Diplomats Believe Treaty Is Defeat for Knox. BERLIN. July 12. (Special.) While the German Foreign Office has refrained from giving an official suggestion as to its view on the new Russo-Japanese agreement, the question has been the subject of careful consideration. The feeling is that the compact introduces a new element in the arena of world di plomacy. The attitude of the United States is watched with special interest for an indication of its possible effects on the international situation. The press here is divided, one section urging the Foreign Office to take a firm stand in seeking the co-operation of America against the Russo-Japanese ex clusion policy. Most of the other news papers urge the government to seek friendlier relations with Russia, which is now free to play a more Important and dangerous role in European affairs. In diplomatic circles the agreement is regarded primarily as a diplomatic defeat lor America. It is said here that Knox' naive proposal to manage the Manchuriaa railroad question forced Russia and Ja pan into each other's arms. KNOX'S PROPOSAL COMES LATE Terms 'Virtually Settled Kefore Sug gestion Was Offered, TOKIO. July 12. The terms of the new convention between Japan and Russia, it is said on good authority here, were virtually settled before Sec retary Knox submitted the proposal for -the neutralization of the Manchurian railroads. American interests in no way will be affected. Grant! Trunk to Extend. ' BOSTON,. July 12. The Grand Trunk Railway was today granted permission by the Railroad Commission to build a road from Palmer, Mass., to the Rhode Island state line s part of its proposed extension to Providence. 'X MRS. PERCY PROCTOR. CINCINNATI, July 12. (Special.) Mrs. Percy Proctor, the young wife of Percy Proctor, whose family control the soap company of Proctor & Gamble, is on her way here from New York, seeking- her husband. The couple were married in London last October, and spent their honeymoon at Mentone, on the Riviera. Mrs. Proctor, who is Rus sian by birth, was the wife . of the late Baron von Kleig-uss, and has one child by her first marriage. Mr. Proctor has begun action in Cincinnati to recover 100 shares of Proctor & Gamble stock from a Russian lawyer named Wyckoff, in Lon don, with whom the stock had been placed by Mrs. Proctor to sell for her account. . Mrs. Proctor claims that, besides giving- her this stock, Mr. Proctor promised to give her an additional $40,000. -TARIFF IS 0PP0SE0 Democrats of Wisconsin Open Their State Convention. STAND IS, "PROGRESSIVE" Temporary Chairman Reilly Makes Bitter Attack on Republicans, De claring Them Responsible for Monopolies. MILWAUKEE, July 12. Wisconsin Democrats gathered in state convention today at noon to form a platform. The work will oc-gupy two days. "While nothing ae to the nomination of a. state ticket was contained in. the call, it is said a majority of the 800 delegates will favor naming a list of candidates. Some prefer but one ticket, while others are said to. favor at least two candidates for each place on the ticket. Adolph J. Schmitz, of Milwaukee, is mentioned as likely to head the ticket if one is placed in nomination at the ratification -of the primary election in September. Burr W. Jones, of Madison, also had been talked of but Mr. Jones said he was not a candidate. Tariff to Be Assailed. The platform, according- to the lead ing delegates, will be along so-called "progressive" lines. Considerable space, it Is said, will be devoted to a criticism of the present tariff law. Michael K. Reilly, of Fond du Lac, was Introduced by State Chairman Joseph E. Davies to preside over the convention temporarily. Mr. Reilly said In part: "The taxing power of the Govern ment is being employed today and has been employed for the last 30 years or more through- laws enacted by the Re publican' party for the benefit of a fa vored few. . 'Through its tariff, the Republican party has enabled producers to eliminate competition, to form gigantic monopolies, to control markets, arbitrarily to fix prices in defiance of the law of supply and demand, so as to compel every fire side, every shop, every factory and every profession to pay tribute to the favored few. Question Is Changed. "We have readied such a stage in our industrial and commercial developments as a result of special privileges, that the question no longer is 'Will the Govern ment be able to control the corporation?' but instead we have "Will the corpora tions be able to own end control the Government?' "Our platform should be progressive and not reactionary. There Is a great contest in our land today between these forces of reaction and the forces of prog ress and our creed should unmistakably place our party with these forces of progress. "While the various elements of the Republican party are attempting to read each other out of that party, let it be our aim to keep our doorsteps swept clean and to welcome into the home of our party the dissatisfied in J the army of Repub licans." The convention reassembled late this afternoon and the announcement of the selection of William Wolfe, of La Crosse, as permanent chairman was made. EUGENE.

Nicaraguan affairs and that the re ported offer by Madriz of a coaling station to an . European power if it would intervene- in Nicaragua was not made to Germany. GERMANY IS NOT FOR MADRIZ Emperor William Denies Indorse ment of Mcaraguan Intended. BERLIN, July 12. The Foreign Office has given the Associated Press an author ized statement respecting the letter of Emperor William to President Madriz of Nicaragua. Reports have reached Berlin that attempts are being made in America to construe this letter as an indorse ment by the Emperor of the Madriz party. The statement follows: "Madriz gave notice of his election on undertaking the presidency to the Em peror in the usual written form. The cus tomary reply was prepared by the foreign office. It was not an autograph letter, but was simply signed by the Emperor. The address 'great and good friend,' was in accordance with official courtesy. No intervention by Germany in Nicaraguan affairs followed. Germany neither sought nor designs to seek a coaling station. Rumors of Germany's intention toward the Galapagos Islands are equally with out foundation, as are all suggestions that the German government has in any wlEe modified the cultivation of friendly relations towards- the United States." The reported offer by Madriz of a coal ing station to a European power if it would intervene In Nicaragua was not made to Germany, the foreign office de clared. The Berlin press makes' much of attempts abroad to cast suspicion upon Germany's Latin-American policy. Many journals affirm that an intrigue is in progress against German good faith. MOVE REGARDED AS FORMAL State Department Believes Germany Simply Ignored Revolution. WASHINGTON, July 12. The State Department from the first has believed that the communication to Dr. Madriz by the German Foreign Office was purely a matter of form and made without the slightest regard to the existing conditions in Nicaragua, of which Germany, having relatively Insignificant commercial Inter ests, was hardly expected by this Gov ernment to have Intimate knowledge. Officials of the department are said to be unable to see any basis for the ex ploitation of this communication by the Madriz faction. State Department Silent. WASHINGTON, July 12. No statement could be obtained this afternoon from the State Department in regard to the report concerning the attitude of Ger many In regard to Nicaragua. It was eald no communications had passed be tween the United States and Germany. BLUEBACK EGGS S0UJ3HT Hatchery Superintendent Plans Ex periment in Salmon Propagation. VANCOUVER. Wash., July 12. (Spe cial.) J. M. Crawford, superintendent of the state fish hatcheries, who has been spending- a few days at the state hatchery on Basket Creek, is expert menting- with salmon-hatching. He contemplates enclosing a portion of Greenleaf Slough, near Cascades, when the blueback salmon are spawning there, and holding them until the sea son is over. If this can je done, eggs can be secured much more easily than under the present system. For the hatchery here, 150,000 Lake Chelan trout eggs have just been re celved and when hatched the fish will be distributed in' the streams in South western Wash'nSton.

The newspaper La Razon, commenting today on the reports published in- Europe that Argentina, Brazil and Chile are planning the formation of alliance, the -object of which shall be to counterbalance the policy and effect of the actions of the Government of the United States, de clares that the policy of the northern republic does not give any reason for such an entente. An alliance of this kind, on the contrary, would have the. effect of placing great restrictions on. her commerce.

LINDLEY BRANSON EDITOR Journalist Known as "Fighting Edi tor of Xevada," Where He Ex posed I.' W. Wr. and Drove It Out of StateIssue July 16. MEDFORD, Or., July 12. (Special.) Medford is to have a new daily news paper to be called the Medford Sun. The Sun -will be a morning paper and will issue its first number July 16. It will be Republican in politics and its policy will be to take no part in the prohibition question or to mix in other factional fights. Since the consolidation of the two papers here about a year ago the Re publicans have had no representation in the daily newspaper field, with the result that the local Democratic paper, alleged to be independent, has made an effort to disruptthe Republican party in Jackson County by continual criti cism of President Taft and Republican leaders and measures generally. Though Jackson ' County is over whelmingly Republican the party is confronted with the fact that several of the best offices In the county are filled by Democrats, most of whom were elected on the "nonpartisan" dodge. Lindsley C. Branson is editor and principal owner of the Medford Sun. Mr. Branson was formerly editor and owner of the Tonopah Sun and the Goldfleld Sun and was for many years connected with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. In Nevada by reason of a fight he made against th.e I. W. W. and the Western Federation of Miners, whip ping both to a standstill and driving the former entirely and the latter al most out of the state, he gained a National reputation as a newspaper fighter and was thenceforth known as "the fighting editor of Nevada." This was the first time the I. W. W. had shown its hand in the country and lit tle was known of its purposes or character. Branson lived at Tonopah and gave his personal attention to the management of his Tonopah newspa per. Meanwhile at Goldfleld the men who under the name of the I. W. W., as an affiliation of the Western Federa tion of Miners, had been ridden out of Colorado on flatcars by Governor Pea body and Sherman Bell, had forced all HAND SAPOLIO Is especially valuable during the Sum mer season, when outdoor occupations and sports are'most in order.

Then the organizers and walking delegates swooped down on Tonopah and started to repeat the operation.
