GREAT SUIT
Empire Restored to Gov
ernment Domain.
SQUATTERS MUST LEAVE LAND
Judge Wolverton Decides Against
S. P. on Every Point.
Judge Charles E Wolverton of the
United States district court renders a
sweeping decision in favor of the gov
ernment. The Southern Pacific and
th Oregon and California railway
companies must forfeit to the United
States government abont 2,400.000
acres of laud, whioh is vanled at from
$40,000 to 175,000,000.
After one of the most prolonged
legal combats ever waged in ooni ti of
the United States the onnrt rules that
an empire in Orfgon cannot be botHed
np by the railway interests. Taking
the plHin words of the act of congress
granting the land for railway con
strnction aid, the oonrt holds that
cougress intended this land should be
sold to bona fide settlers in tracts not
greater than 100 acres to one individ
ual, and at a price not exceeding $3.50
an acre. Every argument rand con
tention made by the railway company
has been defeated in its light with the
government
While deciding in favor of the fed
eral government, Judge Wolverton de
oided against the several thousand
interveners in the case. He holds
that they have acquired no right
whatever by either settling on the
land or rendering the maximum sum
per claim specified by law. The effect
of this portion of the deoision is that
the grant lands affected cannot be se
cured by any individual until the
president or congress again opens it to
entry or sale The 87 eotrymeu who
had gone upon the land as settlers be
fore the suits of the government were
commenced, also lose their claims,
aud are held to have gained no advan
tage whatever bv their period of set
tlement. Something more than 5000
interveners have Hied applications to
get a portion of the land, but their
supposed rights are brushed aside,
leaving the entire trart open to dis
position by courgess, as if it had
never bten offered to the railway in
terests as a Riant.

NOT MUCH DAMAGE
- TO FRUIT CROP
Recent Frosts Benefit to Many
' Kinds of Fruit.
Dospite the unprecedented cold spell
during the early part of April the
frnit orop of the Willamette valley
escaped with comparatively little
damage. In fact, aside from peaches
and early cherries there was no dam
age at all . T ie prune trees, which
are usually the first to feel the effects
of cold weather, have escaped with
bat little injury. Mr. Bohrt John
son, the prnne king of the Willamette
valley, has 1H0 acres of prunes nar
Albany and he claims that the recent
frosts were mure of a benefit than an
injury Mr. Johnson has had many
years' experience in the cultivation of
prunes and he predicts that the time
is dose at hand when the prune rais
er will come back to his own, and
that the cultivation of prunes will
prove to be more remunerative than
any other fruit orop produoed in the
state. Fifteen or twentv years ago
everyone in the Willamette valley
went wild over prune raising, and in
consequence a large number of people,
without any knowledge of what they
were doing, planted large tracts of
land into prunes. As a result many
of the fields have been grubbed up
aud returned into general farming.
At the present time the demand lor
pruufs is increasing while the supply
is growing less. There is as much
soieiiceln the handling of a prune
orchard as there is in promoting the
apple. It has taken years to learn
what to do. and as a result Mr. John
sou predicts that prune growing will
soon be the foremost fruit crop in the
state. There is a growing demand
for Italian prunes for shipment in
refrigerator onrs to Eastern markets.
Orders for several car loads have al
ready been reoeived and there is no
doubt but what the price wiI be sat
isfactory to the prune growers
throughout the valley.

Madero Agrees to Terms

NO MORE FIGHTING PROBABLE
Negotiations for Peace to Be
Conducted at El Paso.
The revolution in Mexico is praotio
ally over. An armistic? has been
agreed upon, and there is every reason
to believe tiiat terms of peace will
soon be agreed upon. An arimstice
was argeed upon for five days, but
there are assurances that if definite
arrangements caunot be made in the
allotted period the time will be ex
tended. Negotiations for peace have
extended just far .enough to put each
side into possession of the outlines of
the other's demands.
General Madero has known and
sacredly guarded, for two weeks in
foramtiou as to what the government
will grant. He teleragphed Meixco
Oity the nature of his basio deamndg.
Following this, a long telegram was
received from tfie Mexican ..capital,
but uo indication of its contents leak
ed out
A despatoh from El Paso says ne
gotiations were resumed today. Yes
terday's experience demonstrated that
negotiations by .telegraph, with most
of the lines in Mexioo out of com
mission, are too slow and tedious, es
pecially when .hundreds of words of
code must be used, the least mistake
in transaltiug which causes many
hours of delay.
For this reason both parties wish
to appoint envoys with full power
to act. The naming of the envoys,
the selection of a meeting plaoe and
traveling to it, it is thought, will re
quire more than the four days remain
ing for the trace, and heuoe the de
termination to extend its duration if
neoessary. A member of the mission
desoribed the negotiations as being
in a very delicate .stage, , where an
undiplomatic slip might spoil every
thing.
El Paso, Texas. 'April 26. As it
was in the "war," it seems to be
"manana" in the peace negotiations
between Madero and Diaz government.
With nothing to do but wait, Madero
is tilling .in .the time at his caVip a
cross the line ' today, expecting in a
languid way that commissioners to
negotiate terms will soon be an
nounced from Mexico Oity. So far
there is nothing doing maybe tomor
row. It is genreall; believed here
that the representatives of Diaz and
of Madero will meet when they do
meet in El Paso. It is said by the
Mailt nut torues hete and iu Jaurez
that it may be two weeks Jbefore the
peuoe palavers end aud an agreemeut

Probably the largest orowd of peo
ple ever attending a celebration or
booster day exercises ever held in
this oitv was here Saturday, ooming
from all over this county and as far
as the southern portion of Washing
ton, to witness the parade of flue
horses, and various features of a
"Booster Day" or annual horse show
now bohing oonduoted by the pub
licity department of the Oregon Oity
Commercial Olub, through the efforts
of a oommittee of citizens, members
of the department, and their secre
tary, M. J. Lazelle. The parade,
whioh was composed of an array of
fine horses, floats, bands, carriages,
etc, readied for a distance of twelve
blocks along Main street.
Interesting numbers on the program
were pullod off on schedule time in
various parts of the eity, and at ten
o'olock the orowd witnessed a balloon
ascension and paraohute drop, on the
hillside west of the oity, where in
full view the great gas bag burst
when only a few hundred feet from
the ground. At first the air climber
did not note the turning of his bal
loon, but the ories from the orowd
warned him and he at onoe out loose
the parachute, which fortunately
opened when within an hundred feet
of the ground. Struggling frantically
to divert the oourse of the drop, the
man was unable to olear the live
wires of the P. Ry. L. & P. Oo.'s line
that runs to Portland, and upon
which he momentarily hung until Mb
paraohute burse into hlaze, then
dropped to the ground with but a
slight jar. The great gas bag and
parachute were both complete ruins

WORK PROGRESSING
ON NEW R. R. LINE
Grading Practically Completed
for Nearly a Mile.
Every day it becomes more apparent
that the construction of the Clacka
mas Southern railway will prove to
be a greater benefit to the business in
terests of Oregon City and Claokamas
county , than any other ever underta
ken by our looal capitalists.
The work of gradiug has been prao
tioally completed for nearly a mile
east of the oity and work is progress
ing as faBt as men and teams can han
dle the work. As sufficient money
has already been subscribed to com
plete the work to Beaver Oreea, there
is no doubt but that cars will be run
ning to that point before fall. The
oitizens on the line of the proposed
route beyond Beaver Creek are awake
to the necessity of aiding the work of
construction beyond that point and
meetings will be held at a number ot
places in the near future tor the pur
pose of informing interested parties of
what the building of the road to the
Molalla country means to them. A
market at the door of the producer is
one of the objeots aimed at, and there
is no donbt nut that the property
owners on the line 'of the projected
road will meet the enterprise half
way. A meeting at the Grange hall
at Moilno on Thursday night was of
great interest, and well attended by
local people interested in pushing the
work along and by directors of the
road who reside iu this oity, at whioh
time an opportunity was afforded resi
dents of that vioinity to render such
aid as they ielt able to do.

Charged With Dymaniting
Los Angeles Times.
THREE SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY
They Are Identified as the. Pur
chasers of Giant Powder.
After months of investigation,
direoted by William J. Burns, a pri
vate deteotive, John J. M"Namara,
international snoietary of the Bridge
and Struontural Iron WorkerB of
Aemrica, the headquarters of which
are in .Indianapolis, was arested in
Detroit Monady last, charged with
complicity in the dynaimtiug of the .
Los Angeles Times, Ootober 1, 1910,
and the ;plaut of the Le. ellyn Iron
works at Los Angeles. Four hours
after McNamara w as .arrested detec
tives found two quarts of nitroglycer
in and seventeen sticks of dynamite in
a barn thiee-quartera of a mile west
of Indianapolis. The barn the, detec
tives say, was rented by MoNamara
from T. H. Jones, the owner. When
interviewed, Detective Burns made
the following statement : '
"When J. W. MoNamara readies
Lob "Angeles this week, he will be
identified aB the man who purchased
dynamite from the Giant Powder
Company and who JuHed tthe alias of
J. B. Bryoe at the time. Aside from
saying he fits the description of the
man who purchased the dynamite,
I am not now privileged to say what
other facts we have on whioh to base
our .conclusions, .but you may say
I am .absolutely positive he will be
recoguized as the purchaser of the
dynamite. Two sticks placed under
the Times buiidiug failed to epxlode.
They were taken to the Giant Powder
Company and identified aB pieces
purchased by this man Bryoe."
Burns said that with MoNamara
when he .bought the dynamite were
David Kaplan and M. A. Schmidt, for
whom deteutives have been searching
sinoe the disaster occurred. These
two men, Burns said, were anarchists
aud had no connection .with .the In
ternational Association of Bridge &
Structural Iron Workers.
" We have learned that MoNamara,
(J. W. ) was in the pay of J. J. Mo
Namara, secretary of the Ironworkers,
Association, during the time that he
was in Los Angeles and we have also
pi oof that MoManigal was in the pay
ot the secretary, " continued Burns.
"Did MoManigal have anything to
do with the times blowup?"
'No, he is noi charged witb having
a hand in that. He was the man who
blew up the Lewellyn ironworks
several weeks later. " '
Burns as MoManigal workod single
handed. He had proof, he says, that
MoManigal was in Los Angeles at the
time of the ironworks explosion. He
said he had traced his movements
from the time MoManigal departed
from the iMiddlB VVe"st. until .he landed
in Los Angeles.' " '
"He will also be identified by per
sons in Los Angeles who can furnish
evidence that lie was the man who
did the job," said Burns.
"Have you evidence that MoMani
gal was In touch with J. J. Mo
Namara?" "We have, and we have father evi
denoe that J. J. McNamara furunished
the money necessary to pull oft both
of the Los Angeles jobs, 'there is no
doubt in the world that we have the
right prisoners. " '
Labor leaders denounoe the arrest as
outrageous and declare that the ac
cused were not in Los Augeles at the
time of the explosion. They have en
gaged Clarence Darrow, the man
who defended Moyer and Hayward,
to defend the prisoners.
When MoNamara arrived in Lob
Angeles. Mr. D. H. Iugeisoll of San
Francisco identified him as the man
who boarded at her 'house under the
name of J. B. Bryoe, and the same
man who purchased the dynamite
sticks of the Giant Powder Company.
