WASHINGTON, May 20 (AP)
Tho interior department agreed
today to amend a proposed admin
istrative measure for the revested
Oregon and California railroad
and Coos Bay wagon road grant
lands of western Oregon to bring
fire protection regulations into
lino with state law.
Hufus Poole, interior depart
ment assistant solicitor, told the
house public lands committee an
amendment proposed by a group
of private lumber operators was
not satisfactory. He offered a sub
stitute which would provide regu
lations on the revested lands
"shall conform with the require
ments of the state of Oregou in
sofar as the same are consistent
with the Interests of the United
Stales."
When hearings continue tomor
row Representative James Mott of
Oregon said he would call wit
nesses In opposition to revenue
features of the measure. He said
the interior department Is seeking
too large a share of the funds
which now are going to the coun
ties in lieu of taxes once paid by
the Oregon and California railroad
and the Coos Bay wagon road
company.
The interior department would
receive 2fi per cent of the revenue
from timber and land sales for
administrative purposes. Another
2Ti per cent would go to the treas
ury after eight years to reimburse
it for. a deficit Incurred in pay
ment nf taxes which amounted to
more than the revenue. The re
maining fit) per cent would go to

HOPKINS PREFERS I
TRIAL B! JUDGE
, - . . M
Defendant in 'tKiikbeatlr
Case Files Request to
Dispense With Jury.
Leonard Hopkins. Canyouville
barber, indicted by tho grand jury
on a charge of assault and battery,
has filed In the circuit court a for
mal election to have his case
tried without a jury. If is the
first time that such election has
been made in a criminal case in
Douglas county.
The charge acafnst Hopkins
grew out of the death of his foui
year-old daughter, Barbara Irene,
April 17. The step-mother, Cor
delia Hopkins,, has entered a plea
of guilty to a charge of involuiir
tnry manslaughter, admitting in a
confession placed before Judge
Carl Wlmborly to striking tho
child over the head with the
handle of a table knife. The in
juries, physicians reported, caused
a hemorrhage which resulted in
death. She Is awaiting sentence.
Hopkins Is accused in the In
dictment of brutally beating the
child prior to bur death.
His attorney. Hay U. Comp
toh, in tho formal notice of elec
tion filed with Judge Wimherly,
slates that tho public mind "bus
been inflamed by rumors and pub
licity," and that it would be dif
ficult to secure an unprejudiced
jury- Tho trial could best bo held,
it was contended before a "Judge
it wns contended, before a "Judge
facts."
J. V. Long, district attorney,
snid today that the Hopkins case
has resulted in a flood of letters,
many of them bearing anonymous
signatures, urging tho moHt vig
orous prosecution. Nearly all of
the letters, he said, are apparent
ly from women, principally moth
ers, and coiiio not only from Ore
gon but neighboring states as
well.

WASHINGTON. May 20. (AP)
President Roosevelt's closest
senate advisors were urging him
today to withdraw his court reor
ganization bill or restrict it to two
additional justices.
They argued that the original
bill no longer is needed, because
the court is construing tho consti

Justice Van Devanter's retirement
is approaching.
Mr. Roosevelt still gave no pub
lic indication that ho would yield.
Many senators predicted he would
Btnnd firm until the supremo court
docides the constitutionality of the
social security law.
There were indications, however,
of private negotiations for a com
promise. Tho president himself called
Senator Nye R., N. I.) to tho
