THE SUNDAY OKEGOyiA5, FOKTLANP, JULIC 1, ltflU. 7 SILETZ ENTRYMEN STILL HAVE HOPE Effort Will Be Made to Fore stall Cancellations Till December. HAWLEY TO RENEW FIGHT No Favorable Action From Depart ment of Interior Expected and Only Chance in Legislation by Next Congress. SALEM. Or., July 9. (Special.) Or iginal entrymen on the former Slletz Indian reservation still have a. ray of hope, according to Representative "Willis C. Hawley. who says that as President Taft did not directly veto the Hawley bill, nor in any other way express an unfavorable opinion con cerning it, the entrymen's salvation seems to be in keeping his entry alive until remedial legislation can be passed. The failure of the President to affix his signature to the bill has caused no end of concern among the entrymen as to the ultimate fate of their entries. With no hope of favorable action by the Department of the Interior, with the recent adverse action of the Su preme Court of the District of Columbia in refusing to longer restrain the Sec retary of the Interior from cancelling the entries and with scant hope of holding on in the courts until Congress convenes next December, according to the entrymen themselves, their case seems an extremely dubious one. , Objections Met Before Committee. There are many who believe, how ever, that remedial legislation may be passed. Although the Department of the Interior, according to Representa tive Hawley, has been adverse to such legislation from the outset, neverthe less, he called for a supplemental re port on his bill, giving simply the facts and without recommendation as to whether the passage of the bill was favored or not favored In the Depart ment, and upon this report alone went before the committee on public lands of the House of Representatives and by persistent effort and argument con vinced the committee that the legisla tion was right and It was unanimously recommended and passed the House without a dissenting vote June 6, 1910. The Senate committee on public lands' reported the Hawley bill without amendment two days later, and just the day before adjournment of the ses sion and 18 days after it passed the louse. It passed in the Senate with out opposition. Under these circumstances the entry men think that although the Interior Department may still not be in favor 9f the measure, which is Indicated in :hat it filed an adverse report against the bill after Congress had passed the same, yet there Is a chance that. Presi dent Taft would sign such a bill if it wre-presented to him for his approval In time to allow friends of the measure to appear and refute the objections of the Department of the Interior, as was done In the House. Hawley Will Keep . Up Fight. Representative Hawley expressed :he following opinion when asHed If be would again take up the cause "f :he entrymen: "As in the past." I will do everything . possible" for these men .when I return to Washington in December. .Should ny of their entries be uncanceled at that time, and it is thought that leg islative action of Congress would af ford them relief, I will again take up the matter and do all I can for them. These .particular cases have appealed to ray sense of justice, and as a native son of Oregon and of pioneer jarent ge. I know something of the hard ships and difficulties that beset these homesteaders In the Slletz country, where there were no public roads or 'bridges, and but a few rough trails until the -settlers now in danger of oelng dispossessed made them. '"A lot of these men were our best type of -the hardy pioneer settler, and .t-intend to do what I can to uphold their rights and to secure justice for them if possible. Because of the na ture of the land and its Inaccessibility, "It" should not have been opened to en try under the homestead law only, us It was densely timbered and much of it rough, and practically Impossible to literally comply with ' the homestead law. I am with these men as long as I can be of service to them.' BARQUE CAPTAIN CLOWNS Officer Slips From Unprotected Gangway at Vancouver, B. C. VANCOUVER, B. C, July 9. (Special.)

TVash., July 9.-(Spec!al.)--Jmire Thmna- Burke today save out-a statement of his position on the question of Oriental immigration and Oriental com merce which In part is as follows: "I am not now and never have been in favor of the immigration of coolie labor to this country. I have never uttered a word nor written a - line in support of such a policy. Unrestricted Immigration to this country of coolie labor of alien races Is not only subversive of our own interests but it is likewise against the best interests of the country or countries from whence such immigrants come Such an immigration in considerable num ber arouses race prejudice. It sows the need of international bitterness and hatred likely sooner or later to even tuate in the scourge of war. "But on the other hand an enlightened regard for the public welfare calls upon us to do everything in our power to pro mote and maintain commercial relations between our people and the people of the Orient. A policy of commercial non intercourse would, be suicidal to our in terests. "I believe in the policy which, while fully protecting our people against the immigration of coolie labor.' will culti vate and maintain friendly relations with out neighbors aero the sea and lay SOX OK MINK OPERATOR DIES IX PORH.A.VD OF PNEIMOMA.
