THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1901.
DENIED THE APPLICATION
OAPTAIX OBERLIX CARTER 3IUST
" REMAIX IN PR1SOX.
United States Supreme Court Refused
to Issue an Order Admitting -
Hlxn to Ball.
17ASJB3NGT0N. April . The United
States Supreme Court today denied the
application of ex-Captain Oberlin M. Car
ter to be admitted to ball. The court
contented Iteelf with a tare announcement
made by the Chief Justice of the result
of Its deliberations. No reasons, were as
signed, and no reference" was made to
Carter's motion to strike Solicitor-General
Hichards brief from the files of the court.
Chief Justice Fuller announced that the
ilnal adjournment of the court tar the
term, May 27, The call of the docket will
be suspended next Friday," and the court
tvIII take a recess next Monday until May
,23. No Intimation has been given by the
court as to when the decision of the In
sular cases may be expected, or whether
they will be decided at all before final
adjournment.
An opinion was handed down today In
the case of H. . Bedford, vs. the East
ern Building & Loan Association, of Sy
racuse, N. Y. This case grew out of the
eale of stock In the Building Association
to BedfoVd, and the mortgage of a loan to
him In 1S91, he being a resident of Ten
nessee. He made default in the payment
of his note and pleaded the violation of a
law of Tennessee requiring the deposit
of funds by building associations doing
business In the state. The court held,
however, that a loan is a contract which
the act of the State Legislature can not
lmpali.
The attention of the court was given
today largely to the question of the right
of one state to quarantine against an
other. The contention arose in connection
with the case of W. P. Smith vs. the St
Louis & Western Hallway Company In
volving quarantine regulations against
the importations of cattle In 1897. The
cattle shipment upon which this case
turned was made by Smith over the St.
Louis road from Plain Dealing, La., to
Fort Worth, Tex., the officials of the
road being unaware that a quarantine had
been established as had been done by the
Texas officials. When the existence of
this restriction became known the rail
road company refused to deliver the stock
to the consignee and reshlpped them to
Plain Dealing. There Smith refused to
receive them as he also did the proceeds
of their sale. Smith then brought suit
for damages, contending that the regula
tions were an Interference with Interstate
commerce and -unjustified by the facts.
The trial court sustained this regulation,
but the State Court of Appeals reversed
the decision, holding in favor of the rail
road company. Today's opinion affirmed
the latter decision on the ground that the
state has a right under Its police power to
protect Itself against infectious disease
even though commerce 'may' be Incidental
ly interfered with by the regulations for
such protection. Justices Harlan and
"White united in a dissenting opinion, and
Justice Brown delivered a dissenting opin
ion of his own. The principal opinion in
the case was delivered by Justice Mc
Kenna. Justice Brewer handed down jm opinion
in the case of Rasmussen vs. the'State of
Nevada, in which he affirmed the consti
tutionality of the daw' of the State of
Idaho authorizing a quarantine against
sheep in outside states supposed tobe af
fected by an Infectious disease.
"The statute," said Justice Brewer,
"'was an act of the State of Idaho, con
templating solely the protection of its
own sheep from the introduction among
them of an infectious disease, and pro
viding for only such restraint upon the
Introduction of sheep from other states
as, in the judgment of the state, was ab
solutely necessary to prevent the spread
of the disease."
The decision of the Supreme Court of
Nevada was affirmed.
xne court denied a. motion for leave to
file a petition for a writ of mandamus
in the American Sugar Refining Com
pany's controversy with the Government
concerning the polariscoplc tests of sugar.
The motion had in view a proceeding au
thorizing United States Consuls in foreign
countries to take the testimony of experts
In behalf of the sugar company.
ARBOR DAY AT WASHINGTON.
Secretary Wilson's Address on For
estry. WASHINGTON. April 22. Arbor Day
was celebrated here today by the planting
of two memorial trees In the Department

ttiave paid no attention to this subject.
Only R'lrlflrmie last few years have any
of our educational Jnstitufipns established
schools for Instruction along these lines.
It is our intention to propagate every
ne tree in America and furnish them,

otherwise, to the localities where they are
most at home; and It is also our Intention
to bring seeds of plants of valuable trees
xrom foreign countries and introduce them
into suitable localities in our own."

ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE
That From This Coast to Philippines
in Xo Danger of Abandonment.
WASHINGTON, April IS. Eastern ship
ping Interests have suddenly taken an In
terest In the Government transport serv
ice to Manila, and from time to time have
made representations to the War Depart
ment that a route should be permanently
established between New York and the
Philippine Islands. These same Interests
are urging the Department to maintain
its present transport service between New
York and Cuba and Porto Rico.
General Charles Bird, chief of the trans
port service, when aeked if any material
change was likely to be made in the trans
port service to Manila, replied that as
far as could be seen now, no material
change would be needed, and none made.
He says there are now a sufficient num
ber of transports plying between Pacific
Coast ports and Manila to meet all the
demands of the service, both as to the
transportation of troops, supplies, horses
and fodder. Unless some unforeseen con
dition arises, there will be no increase in
this service. Under these conditions, even
the proposition of placing the Cuban and
Porto Rican transports on the Manila
run Is abandoned, although, In the event
that these two former routes are aban
doned In the interest of transportation
companies, and there should be a demand
for more transports on the Pacific, the
four vessels running from New York will
be available for Oriental service.
When aeked whether it was likely that
the department would In time abandon its
transport service to the Philippines, and
have this carrying of troops and supplies
done by the large transportation compa
nies, as Is proposed in the case of Cuba
and Porto Rico, General Bird replied that
no such scheme would be entertained for
a minute. "Do you know how much the
Government saves on a single trip of one
of the large transports to Manila, when
she is loaded to her full capacity? It
saves anywhere from $2000 to $3000 on the
one trip per transport. This fact Is at
tested by the Quartermaster's as well as
the Commissary Department. In view of
such a saving as that, and as the trans
ports generally carry full cargoes, it
would be foolish to place thi6 transporta
tion business In the hands of companies
and individuals. We are most surely go
ing to continue our transport service on
the Pacific for some time to come, unless
these Is a phenomenal drop In the prices
asked by transportation companies on that
ocean."
The department is well satisfied with
the service it is now getting to and from
Manila. The Government transports on
that run are all that could be aeked, and
give entire satisfaction. The chartered
ships are, for the most part, of an In
ferior class, but answer very well for the
purposes to which they are put. But, as
said before, unless there Is a material
change in conditions in the Philippines, or
in China, which Is not expected now, the
transport service between San Francisco,
Portland and Puget Sound to Manila will
remain practically as It Is today. If there
Is any change, it may be the dropping of
aome of the chartered ships when the
present transfer of troops has been com
pleted, and possibly their replacement by
the transports on the Atlantic, although
no such change is contemplated at this
time.
SENSATIONAL LAWSUIT.
Will of the Late George Hobson Will
Be Contested.
DENVER, April -The Denver Post
today says:
"Georgia Hobson, born two days ago In
Los Angeles, will figure In the most
novel and one of the most sensational
lawsuits ever tried In the courts of Colo
rado. Mrs. Hobson has sent word from
Los Angeles that she proposes to contest
the will of George H. Hobson, her late
husband, which bequeaths the entire es
tate of $125.000 -to his brothers and sisters.--The
Hobson people have announced
that they will contest to the bitter end
the .threat of the child's mother to secure
the "fortune for her offspring. They tviII
also charge fraud, alleging that Georgia
Is an adopted child and that George H.
Hobson is not its father.
"The will was filed for probata Novem
ber 29 last, just a month after the testa
tor's death. In February last Mrs. Hob.
son filed In court a statement that she was
about to become a mother and asked for
an order securing for her child a share In
her husband's estate. Mrs. Anderson, sla
ter of George H. Hobson, tried to secure
a court order allowing physicians to as
certain the truthfulness or falsity of Mrs.
Hobson's statement, but the court denied
the motion. Mrs. Hobson says she will
have no trouble In proving that the child
Is her legitimate offspring."
Orthodoxy Attacked.
NEW YORK, April 22. Rev. George D.
Herron lectured In the Park Theater, In
Brooklyn, last night, and bitterly attacked
existing religious conditions. He said, In
part:
"The so-called Christian church .has
fought Its way by brute force and author
ity contrary to the spirit of individual
freedom taught by Christ, and that which
was atheism to Jesus has been orthodoxy
to the church. The church has always
put to death the man who dared stand
for individual freedom. Christianity does
not even know or believe the gospel of
Jesus. The English pulpit has been the
bulwark of the government In Its unright
eous wars of conquest, and it is from
the American church that the govern
ment receives the backing when it be
comes the betrayer and assassin of an
oppressed and confiding people."
Will End Colombian War.
NEW, YORK, April 22. The Tribune
says:
"General Uribe-Uribe, leader of -the Co
lombian insurgents, has agreed to end the
revolution that has been going on for the
last year and a half, and peace probably
will be officially proclaimed within the
next few weeks."

AMERICAN KNOCKED OUT
BILLY SMITHSEVERELY PUNISHED
IX A LONDOX FIGHT.
Defeated by Jack Roberts, the Eng
- Hsh Featherweight, and Proba
bly Fatally. Injured.
LONDON, April 22. At the National
Sporting Club tonight Jack Roberts, of
England, knocked out Billy Smith, the
American, In the eighth round. The fight
was for the nine-stone championship of
England.
During the first three rounds everything
was in favor of Smith, who showed-him-self
decidedly the more clever of the two
men, but In the remainder of the contest,
Roberts had his own way. In the eighth
round, Smith made no attempt whatever
to defend himself. He was twice knocked
down and then counted out. Subsequently,
It became known that Smith's right arm
was dislocated in the fourth round, and
at the finish his leg's were badly cramped.
After the fight, Smith was removed to a
hospital, where- he is still unconscious. It
Is feared that his Injuries may prove fa
tal. (Billy Smith is a New Yorker. His fight
ing in the country before he crossed the
Atlantic, showed him to be a boxer of
fine promise, and his American friends
counted on his defeating Roberts, although
It was expected that he would have a hard
fight on his hands. Roberts is the best
feather-weight who has figured in Eng
land of recent years. He is stocklly built,
like Lavlgne, tough and capable "ot tak
ing severe punishment. The fact that ho
had never been defeated created much
speculation among Americans, and his own
English following, which Is very large,
backed him heavily. The latest advices
from Smith before the meeting Indicated
that he was in fine condition and con
fident of defeating the English champion.
Terry McGovern had promised him a
match If he defeated Roberts. Smith and
Roberts came together for 15 rounds for a
purse of $800 and a bet of $1000 a side.)

"Tipton Slasher," of Chicago, and Johnny
Rltchey, of St. Louis, fought 20 fast

pound championship of the world. In the
second round Rltchey had considerably
the better of the fighting, but the end ot
the round was even. The third round
ended slightly In favor of Rltchey. but
the gong found him on the ropes from a
left on the jaw. In the fifth, Yanger
rushed himself to floor and Rltchey plant
ed a strong left on his jaw when he came
up. In the eighth Rltchey floored Yanger
with a terrible left jolt to the jaw, but the
Chlcagoan was up immediately, and, rush
ing Rltchey, fell to his knees. Both
were on tho ropes when the gong rang.
Rltchey evened the 12th with a rush, but
was fought to the ropes by Yanger. After
the sixteenth round both men were bleed
ing. The 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th rounds
were evenly contested, and the referee
declared the fight a draw.
"Won on a Foul.
HOT SPRINGS, '"Ark.,' April 22. The

disqualified for fouling. The fight was
very fast for three rounds, each round
ending in Leon's favor. The referee
warned the men against striking-' in

den. To the eastward, In Mongolia, ana
near the In Shan Mountains, there are
9000 more under the Chinese General,
Schu. Admiral Allezoff. has accordingly
organized an expedition under General
Zerpenski, consisting' of two regiments
and five sotnias of Cossacks, 16 guns and
a body of volunteers, to operate against
the three points mentioned. The first
movement was successfully carried "out
in the beginning of April. Kulu, which is
250 kilometers from Mukden, was stormed
and the ex-Governor of Mukden was
taken prisoner. In this action, the Rus
sians had 13 men killed and four officers
and 18 men wounded. The advance to
ward the Tarchausen position' was then
begun. Owing to the departure of most
of the Russian troops from Mukdpn, the
latter city has become very unsafe. Al
most nightly Russian sentinels are found
shot in the back. The situation in South
ern 'Mnnchuria Is disquieting and another
advance of Russian troops will be made
In the early spring.
WITHDRAWAL OF FRENCH TROOPS.
Ten Thousand Will Leave China
Xext Month.
PBKIN, April 22. General Voyron, the
commander of the French troops In China,
has Informed General Chaffee that 10,000
French soldiers will leave China In May.
LI Hung Chang believes that the Chi
nese troops under General Liu will be
withdrawn over the boundary marking
the territory defined by Field Marshal
von Waldersee as the sphere of opera
tions for the allies, as the governor of
Shan Si Province received telegraphic In
structions nearly a week ago ordering
their withdrawal. The Governor could
have conveyed this order to the troop3
In question by last Friday at the latest.
The majority of the French and German
newspaper correspondents accompanying
the expedition, returned to Pekln today,,
believing that the expedition would be
called oft.
Hsl Liang, ex-Governor of the
Province of Shan SI, has been appointed
Governor of the Province of Hu Pel. Tho
foreign Consuls at Hankow, capital of the
Proylnce of Hu Pel, have protested
against this appointment to Chang Chi
Tung, Viceroy of Hankow, and have sent
him a .telegram advising him to delay
proceeding In the matter. The numerous
appointments of Chinamen with pro
nounced anti-foreign tendencies is caus
ing comment at Pekin. Even the foreign
Ministers admit that so many appoint
ments of this character are Ill-advised,
while the missionaries and other civilians
are alarmed for the future.
It Is the opinion of Mr. Rockhlll, the
American special commissioner, that the
foreign troops may now commence leav
ing China with perfect safety; on the
other hand, the announcement that 10,000
French troops are to leave In May causes
fear among the French native converts
and French residents. The views of the
foreign Ministers on the withdrawal ot tho
troops Is not shared by the great major
ity of the foreign missionaries. The Minis
ters aver that some of these latter have
business reasons and others would have
to vacate the fine buildings they are now
occupying rent free when the troops go.
A personage from Singan Fu, who is
closely connected wlth the court, denies
that General Tung Fuh Slang is In a
state of rebellion. The person In question
thinks that the missionaries who reported
that he was In rebellion must have heard
accounts of his harsh treatment of ban
dits falling into his hands. He has fre
quently'1 disobeyed orders of the court.
When 5000 troops were withdrawn from
his command last January, he should
have returned their rifles and ammuni
tion. This he failed to do. Before he
left for Kan Su he obtained an audience
with the Empress. Upon this occasion he
said to the Empress: "All that your
servant has done has been to obey the
orders of the court. He will die upon
the battlefield in your service. If, be
cause of the commands of the foreigners,
your .servant were committed to death,
he would die unwillingly."
To this the Empress replied: "Let your
heart be at peace. I would rather lose my
rivers and mountains than you. I will
surely devise a plan for your protection.'
The Bame Informant says that the court
advisers are not In accord. Lu Chuan
Lin, a notorious reactionary and president
of the Board of Trade, argues in favor of
subduing the barbarians, while others ad
vise delay In returning to Pekln. Only
Weng Weng Shan and Sun Chla Nal urge
immediate acceptance of the terms offered
privately. Two of the foreign powers
have separately agreed to extend to the
court the full protection, should neces
sity arise, of every soldier they have.
At a recent meeting of the council, both
the Emperor and the Empress wept fre
quently. The Dowager Empress said that
each day of absence was a day when
she could neither eat nor sleep In peace.
The Emperor said that Pekln was the
home of his. ancestors and that he could
not bear to abandon it.
Sir Robert Hart's plan for the increase
of the revenue of China would bring in
20,000,000 taels annually, but the foreign
ers and business men of China object to
this plan already, saying that under It
the foreign business houses will pay the
greater portion of the indemnity.
Russia Does Not Give Up.
BERLIN, April 22. It. Is believed In
German official circles that Russia will
take up negotiations with China again re
garding the Manchurlan convention after
the general Chinese question is settled. It
is also believed officially that the Chinese
regular army is already retreating before
the expedition which is under way and
that the allied commanders are now dis
cussing what troops they can send home.
Tuftn's Efforts Failed.
LONDON, April 22. "According to Rus
sian advices," says the St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times, "Prince
Tuan has utterly failed to produce a ris
ing among the Inhabitants of Mongolia,
who are kept quiet by a wholesome re
spect for Russia. It Is therefore declared
to be untrue that an Insurrection , has
broken out in Mongolia."
The Gugteenheimers Talcen In.
NEW YORK, April 22. An adjourned
meeting of the directors of the Ameri
can Smelting & Refining Company was
held today and the by-laws were amended
to permit of a representation In the
directorate of the Guggenheim interest,
whose plants were recently absorbed by
the company. Daniel Guggenheim was
elected chairman of, the board and Simon
Guggenheim secretary.
Water Famine on the Isthmus.
COLON, Colombia, April 22. (Via Gal
veston.) The continued drouth has pro
duced a water famine throughout the
isthmus, especially among the poorer
classes. The railroad's free distribution
daily helps to allay the suffering.
Reorganizing Summit Stake.
SALT LAKE, Utah, April 22. The Sum
mit stake or diocese, embracing the cities
of Coalville. Park City and other settle
ments, and one of the most important- in
the Mormon church, will be completely
reorganized. In accordance with Instruc
tions from President Snow and the church
apostles, Elder Moses W. Taylor, of Salt
Lake, has been chosen to succeed W. W.
Cluff. the aged president of the stake.
SLOT MACHINE CASE.
Salem. Man Arrested for Operating:
One New Point Involved.
SALEM, Or., April 22. District Attor
ney Hart today filed in the Circuit Court
an Information charging E. E. Nichols of
the crime, of operating a nlckel-in-the-slot
machine, "said machine being then and
there operated for money by placing the
sum of 5 cents therein and receiving In
return therefor one cigar." Circuit Judge
Burnett ordered the Issuance of a bench
warrant for the arrest ot Nichols, and
upon the latter being brought before the
court he was given until tomorrow to
plead. He is represented by Attorney W.
H. Holmes. This Is presumably another
test case under the provisions of the new
nlckle-m-the-slot machine law. It does
not appear from the complaint that-there
Is any chance In the playing of the ma
chine mentioned, so It would seem that
the question presented for Judge Burnett's
decision is whether It Is a violation of
the law to operate a machine where there
Is no element of chance.
FISH WHEEL MUST GO.
Warden After One at Oregon City
Operator Arrested.
ASTORIA, Or., April 22.-Master Fish
Warden Van Dusen. received a telegram
this morning from Deputy Warden Bult
man, at Oregon City, announcing that he
had arrested the man who was operating
the fish wheel at the falls there in front
of the fish ladder, and had attached the
wheel and 90 salmon. This Is the wheel
that has prevented salmon from getting
up the Willamette above Oregon City,
and Mr. Van Dusen has determined to
have it abolished if It can be done by
legal means.
Advance In Prices Expected.
The only thing of present Interest In
the fishing situation is that the cannery
men have met the cold-etorage people
and are paying 7 cents per pound for sal
mon of 25 pounds or over. This Is the
beginning of a run up In price, and a
further advance Is dally expected from
the cold-storage people. Steelheads are
not In demand, but the price has jumped
from 2i cents to 3 cents per pound.
SMALLPOX AMONG INDIANS

ka. According to reports from the north

while others pronounce It chicken-pox.

ON THE COAST RANGE.
Surveying Party Finds Much Snow
and Abundance of Trout. .
Captain Tyler, a civil engineer, who
was out on the Coast Range in Washing
ton and Tillamook Counties with a party
of seven for about three weeks, presum
ably In the interests of the Portland, Ne
halem & Tillamook Railroad, returned to
Portland yesterday. He said that snow
was still lying on the Coast Range sum
mits to a depth of four feet, and that
this will probably not disappear for a
month yet. His party started from Hllls
boro and brought up on the coast, a few
miles north of Nehalem Bay, after trav
ersing a region entirely uninhabited in
the Winter and early Spring. Dense
woods and deep snow interfered with
their progress about the head of Wilson
River, and one day but a mile distance
was gained. He thinks he saw the finest
body of fir In the world, as the trees
averaged six feet in diameter, and many
were fully 200 feet in height, preserving
their thickness well a good portion of
the way, until they were surmounted by
a small, umbrella-like top.
The streams emptying into the tribu
taries of Nehalem and Tillamook Bay the
party found alive with email trout, a3 the
creeks had evidently not been fished out.
In many places enough fish for a meal
could be caught with hook and line In a
few minutes, the first bait being a piece of
bacon, and the next the eyes of the cap
tured fish. Salmon of good size were
also very plentiful In the tributaries of
Tillamook Bay.
The party saw but few tracks of deer or
elk, but a fur-bearing animal called the
fisher was very numerous. It resembles

Captain Tyler considers the mountains
an Ideal stock range, as he found old
grass tall and thick enough In many
places to form a good mattress while
camping out.
He does not think there Is any timber
land open for entry In the region, as he
noticed many cabins all along his route,
some of them being very tastily built of
hewn logs, dressed with mathematical
nicety. The quarters have been taken
up within the past few years, under the

large tracts have been entered as North

thinks,, would be a fine Summer resort,
although rather inconvenient to get about
In during the Winter. The cabins are all
deserted now, but most of them will prob
ably be occupied noxt Summer.
