Is the Result of Investigations by Hitchcock Begun Last October Laws Disregarded and Scandalous Irregulari ties Practiced. Portland, April 8. No great sur prise is expressed today ever the re moval of the United States Com missioners H. W. Reed of Bend, Crook county; J. O. Haymaker of Bonanza, Klamath county, and J. VV. Haymaker of Bly, Klamath county, says the Journal. Persons more or less acquainted with the operations of land agents ' say that their shady transactions are old stories not alone in Oregon, but in every timbered state in the, Union. The removal of the three commis sioners, however, sets the machine ry of justice moving, and it is ex pected that before many weeks, fraudulently inclined persons en joying government positions will be severely dealt with by the Federal courts. ( Tbe three men removed, by Judge Bellinger yisterday are creatures of bis own appointing, and it is said today that no more than a sugges tion on the part of the inspectors now working under the direction of the department of the interior was necessary to cause the Federal judge to oust these men whom he appointed from then jobs. It cannot be ascertained the na ture of the charges filed against the three commissioners, but at tbe dis trict attorney's office it is suggested that serious complaints have .been made.' ' Last October Secretary of the In terior Hitchcock determined to have investigated the many 'complaints made by citizens of Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and California to the effect that outrageous frauds were again being practiced by land com missioners in their respective states, It was openly charged at that time that gross fraud in taking acknowl edgements was being practiced Several pertinent cases were point' ed out where persons desiring to lo cate were not required to prove up, but by paying certain sums into the hands of commissioners delay and trouble w.ere eliminated. One instance is cited where a resident of an Eastern city gained land in Curry county, Oregon, without ev en the formality of visiting its lo cation. Another practice of fraud particularly lucrative to the gov ernment schemers was to accompa ny a person on a certain piece of land on which he desired to locate and then tell himby paying $50 or $60 further trouble in the matter would be unnecessary. That is, the prospective locator would not be required to make another visit to bis possession as blanks already filled in would be furnished him These and many ,more'violation8 of the law were reported to the gener al land office and it is eaid that Binger Hermann was called into council and suggested that an in vestigation was unnecessary, as charges of similar character ' had been made for years. Mr. Her mann's, dilatory proceedings after the matter was brought to his no tice were not approved by the ad ministration ' and it is said that without regard to him or his advice an investigation was begun by sending special agents into Oregon, California and Washington. Since last fall these agents have devoted all their time to inspecting 'the va rious land offices in the various states, with the result that some very startling transactions of a fraudulent nature have been brought to light. Bringing the subject home to Or egon and Portland, it has been as certained beyond question of doubt that so brazen have become some commissioners that they have tak en acknowledgments of posses sions to Portland in person. The law states that all who have taken up public land must appear in per son before the land commissioners and show their right to the proper ty desired. Eugene, OregoaJ April 7. That Miss Marie Ware, the United States commissioner - at this place, has been under the .displeasure of the general land ' office has has been known for two or three weeks. Her resignation is no sur prise to those on the inside of re publ can politics. It has been op enly stated several times during the last few days that Miss Ware's position would soon be vacant. She was courteously given the oppor tunity to resign, which at first she hesitated todo. Whetherjthe charges against her were of a very serious character is not known here, but the developments recently made in the land office leads many o be lieve that Miss Ware was mixed up in some -unusual transactions, whether, knowingly or innocently, cannot be charged. . Those who are in full possession of the facts in the matter will not talk and so the matter rests. . Paris, April 5. A paper publish ed Thursday quotes Alfred Harms worth, a London newspaper propri etor and an enthusiastic automo bilist, as saying that Count Zboro weki was greatly impressed and very nervons since a fortune-teller four days ago advised hin not to start in to-day's race, predicting that it would prove fatal to him. " Figaro's correspondent at Nice confirms the report that Count Zborowski had a presentment that something was about to befall him. He says the Count hesitated at the start, saying to several friends 'I don't know whether I shall see you again." Chicago, April 8. Mayor Harri eon's first official act today was to announce that he would ask the Council tomorrow night to author ize him to appoint a commision of ten Aldermen and as many private citizens to go to Springfield as the representatives of the cit3r and urge the passage of a municipal owner ship enabling act and a bill . provi ding for the imative and referen dum. He also sent a telegram to Governor Yates asking him to aid Chicago in: getting this enabling legislation, '! am willing to take up the set tlement of the traction question at any time," said the Mayor. "It must be understood in advance, however, that jno ordinance is to be passed until the Legislature has given Chicago the right to own and operate street-car lines. The ordi nance must provide, moreover, for the referendum and tbe rights claimed by the companies under the 99-year act must be expressly waived. The new City Council will be composed of 35 . Republicans, 38 Democrats, one independent and Socialist.- .One of the 70 members, including 26 of the 35 elected yes terday, 53 were indorsed by the Municipal Voters' League. Buffalo, April 9 Justice Mar phy and District Attorney Coats worth held a conference today on the Pennell inquest which will be gin Friday afternoon. ' The course of the public inquiry so far as it could be discussed beforehand, was settled. The inquests on Mr. and Mrs. Pennell are to be held jointly Tbe last known statement of Pen nell in his own defense in which he says a woman killed Burdick at midnight is to come out. The question of suicide or ac cident is not to be tried out, so far as the district attorney is concern ed. That part of the case will be directed by Justice Murphy. The letters Pennell wrote, the statement he left behind, and all other papers that in any way touch upon or pertain to the affairs of Burdick are to be brought out, if the authorities can get at.them Pen nell 's detective reports on the shadowing of Burdick, also to come out, unlass they have found their way into hands beyond the reach of the court. - The inquest will prob ably two days. It was intimated today that in the event that those interested in the Pennell estate are called upon at an official inquiry todivulge any information as to Pennell'a finan cial operations in the East an ef fort will be made to show that the money which he obtained from his friends and relatives was in the nature of legitimate loans. In other words it may be as serted that funds to the amount of about $200,000 were advanced to him without any security what ever, His ! attorney, .Wallace admits that Pennell had no se curity to give for such loans.

All Europe, too, is now aroused as it has not been aroused before, to the conditions in the provinces of the Turk. All Europe today is demanding a swift, - a terrible re venge for this enormous sacrifice of Christian lives to the blood-thirst , of the Mobamedans.

In spite of the warning of a fortune teller, two deaths resulted here today in an effort to reduce at auto records Count Elliott Zborowski, of New York, was killed, inatant.lv in an automobile hill climbing race be tween here and La Turbie. ' His chauffeur, Baron dePallanga The accident occured during one of the trials along the Cronicha stretch. The automobile rushing along at a speed of fifty miles an hour, struck a small rock in the road at a sharp turn, swerved and threw Count Zborowski and Baron de Pallange against the wall. Witnesses of the start of the race say Zborowski, wore white kid gloves which prevented him from having a firm grasp of the brake.- ine acciaent occurred at tne nrsc turning of the road. The shock was terrific, and Zborowski was shot from his car and struck the wall beside the road with his head about six feet from the ground. He fell to the ground dead with his arms outstretched, his skull smash ed. . Baron de Pallange was thrown to the left, The course which is nine miles and a quarter long, is known aa most dangerous, it runs around sharp corners along the cliffs of La , Cronche, tbe name given to ' the road leading from Nice toMentone. Zboroweki was using an auto mobile weighing l,oso pounds. To-day's trip was the first he had made over the route, and he was not acquainted with its dangers.' The body was taken to the chapel of the Count's chateau here. At the same instance that Count. Zborowski and Baron de Pallange met their death another accident occurred at another point of the road. The chain of Baron Gas-. teaux' automobile broke and the car was overturned against the ' rocks, ine Karon ana ms cnant- feur were thrown out, but both ea- -caped with severe bruises.
