Spirited Defense of His Own
and McBride's Appointees.
WHAT'MB; TONGUE HAD TO SAY
Activity In Laud -Entries Is Natural
bhIDbc to Business Conditions
Taat Are Familiar to
Everyone. .
Assertions of. Honae Land Com
mittee. JVhlle. the land laws are loosely
.drawn, yet If they were adequately and
Intelligently enforced by the local and
General Land Office frauds could ,be
reduced to a. minimum. If not altogeth
er stopped. The land office Is conduct
ed according to precedent, rather than
on good Judgment'. Local land officers
are dally accepting testimony and affi
davits from perjured entrymen and wit
nesses without making any attempt to
ascertain whether or not traud la being
attempted or having any personal
knowledge of facts. They are generally
negligent and careless. Remedy the ad
ministrative office, and there will be no
necessity for repealing these laws.
The President's Assertion.
In their actual .-use the desert land
law, the timber and stone law and the
commutation clause qf the homestead
law have been so perverted from the In
tention with which they were enacted
as to permit the acquisition of large
areas of the public domain for other
than actual settlers, and t'he conse
quent preent!on of settlement.
Secretary Hitchcock's Asser.
-Mom. .
Ths reports the-iwiclal agents-ajfVl
th.l.v department. 4h thsffeld show that,
at t'ovat of the local land 'Offices, car
loads of -entrymen arrive .at a. 'time,
every one of whom makes entry under
the timber and stone act. The cost of
160 acres of land under that act. and
the accompanying commissions. Is $415.
As many as five rnemb.ers ot a family,
who, It can be readily shown, never had
$2075 In their lives, walk up cheerfully
and pay the price of the land and the
commissions. Under such circumstances
1 there Is only one conclusion to be
drawn, and that Is that where a whole
i carload of people make entry under
that act, the unanimity of sentiment
' and the cash to exploit it must have
, originated in some other source than
themselves.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec 4. The leading editorial of
The Oregonlan in its Issue of November
29, charging Commissioner Hermann and
the several members of the Congressional
delegation with "passive acquiescence" In
the abuses of the land laws that have
been uncovered in Oregon, created a stir
among those arraigned. When- shown this
editorial, Senator Mitchell said:
"In the first place I am not responsible
for the appointment of a single Register
or Receiver In any of the land ofllces In
.Oregon except two, that is William Farre,
appointed last Winter to a position In the
Burns office, (In which case I joined with
Representative Moody in recommending
his "appointment) and Hon. George W
Bibee," appointed on my own recommen
dation a few months ago, Receiver of the
land office at Oregon City. Furthermore,
up to date. I have neither strenuously nor
in any manner whatever asked the Ad
ministration to retain in office any one of
the men now filling the positions of Reg
ister or Receiver. Possibly I may do so
In the future, as to some of them, pro
vided I am satisfied when the matter
comes up that they. have made good, hon
est officials, and have not been guilty
of any frauds or other Irregularltfcs in
connection with their office. If In any
case any one of them after careful Inves
tigation, Is found to have been guilty of
any fraud or any other Irregularity In his
office, I shall not only recommend hu
discontinuance In office, but shall demand
his removal. '
Mitchell Knows Nothing of Frnnds.
"The connection of my name In any
shape, manner or form with any alleged
land frauds in Oregon Is wholly gratuit
ous and without any grounds ' whatever
on which to base It.. Furthermore, while
no doubt some land frauds have been,
perpetrated In Oregon, as at present ad
vised, I do not believe that Oregon, as a
state; Is any more open to Imputations
upon this ground or to be held up before
the coun.try In an Improper light, than
any other timbered Western state, and I
am Impressed with the belief that very
much of this recent howl against
Oregon in regard to the land frauds, at
least in so far "as proceedings have been
had under the general laws of the United
States, has behind It the. purpose in cer
tain' quarters of. securing- the removal of
the Commissioner of the General Land 'Of
fice, and thus to make a place for some
other gentleman from some other state.
"In my Judgment the administration of
the General Land Office by Mr. Hermann
has been honest, able and conscientious.
The truth is, the great fault is In the
present land laws of the country, some
of which oueht to be radically modified
and others repealed. The opportunities
given" by these laws to those who desire,
.to take advantage of them, and the great
demand for timber land" in the "Western
country,- which Tesults in so much busl-.
ness being- done ,ln the land offices of
Oregon and other Western states at the
present time, naturally suggests .that there
must -be some fraud; undoubtedly there is
some fraud, but as one representative of
the -State of- Oregon at the National cap
ital, I resent. Ule charge nb matter from,
what source it may come, that the peoplo
of Oregon, any more than the peoplo of
any other Western- state, should be. -held.-up
before the country as they now are,
as' being engaged in a saturnalia? cf fraud
In connection with the public landp."
Simon Tiot Responsible.
Senator. Simon did not care to discuss
the editorial beyond saylngr
"I am not responsible for. any of the
land office appointments in Oregon. Not
-one of them was made"t my solicitation.
I have on the contrary, sought to have
changes made In many of these offices,,
believing that the public- service would be
materially benefited by such changes. But
in all such efforts I have been unsuccess
ful." . s
Hermann Has "Been Careful.
Commissioner Hermann saldt
"So far as the General Land Office Is
concerned. Its Instructions to the various
local land officials, as well as to the spe
cial agents or the General Land Office,
have been not only In compliance with
the law, but have earnestly enjoined upon
the various officials , named the utmost
vigilance In the matter of the execution
of the various land laws. All Information
submitted to this office by such officers,
as well as that from other sources, has
been promptly submitted for the fullest
examination to the proper- officials, with
directions, at once to Investigate, and' If
confirmed to bring to Justice those against
whom charges were' made. Various sus
pensions of land entries in different por
tions of the state hSye been made by
my direction immediately upon informa
tion which r believed should receive atten
tion. Special agents have been and are
now making careful and costly examina
tions .pursuant to theso directions. Before-
cancellatlons can " be secured the office
must possess the proper evidence, and
the parties implicated are entitled to be
heard in defense whenever their entries
are subject to suspicion or are under in-,
vestigatlon. This Is being done with ail
energy possible; so far as this office, .and
those to whom the proper administration'
of the lands belong, are concerned."
Tongue Says State Is Upright.
Representative Tongue when seen had
the following to say: "I question the
wisdom or propriety of attempting to de
tract from the good name of the State
of Oregon by wholesale charges of. cor
ruption against its.'cltlsena or public of.-
Artlftla lint... -,Ar-? VtiairrA. nvA m'flil
.v.aiC .MAi:f37 y .....vis
Upon good evIdesJpflfchelerft to produce
convictions I have attempted to ascer
tain the foundation for- the claims, that
public lands have been fraudulently en
tered In Oregon, but have been unable
to secure the slightest evidence ot the
fact. I understand that special agents
sent to Investigate have discovered ho
evidence of fraud. " Not a. eingle specific
charge has been promulgated or a single
man put upon his defense.
"I understand that these charges of
fraud have been based upon the rapid In
crease In the number of entries made dur
ing the last year. This Is slender founda
tion Upon which to convict any one. A
great Increase In the number of entries
was certainly a very natural result of
business conditions that are familiar to
every one. The value of timber lands In
Oregon, from various well-known causes
have Increased greatly, but Is yet far
below the value of like lands In many
other states'. Oregon has more splendid
timber than any other state In the Union.
Why should not Its citizens who have
means to Invest avail themselves of the
laws of the United States and secure
tracts of this class of lands whenever they
can find a suitable tract to purchase.
"Answering the statement of The Ore
gonlan so far as it applies to me person
ally, and first as to the Federal appointees
at the two offices named, Burns and The
Dalles, I had no responsibility for their
appointment. They are not In the dte?
trlct which I represent, anil their selec
tlon devolved wholly upr .i the other
members of the delegation.
, All Arc Honorable Men.
"So far a3 the appointment of the other
land officers is concerned, the appointees
at the time of appointment were honor
able men, of good reputation, and If their
Integrity was questioned I had never
heard of it. If, however. The Oregonlan
cr the Land Department will prove, not
by mere rumor, but by some tangible,
substantial evidence mat tnese men or
any of them have been guilty of aiding
abetting or conniving, or negligently per.
mlttlng frauds against the Government
or Its land lawa I shall be gald to join
with my colleagues In recommending the
appointment of their successors. But
am noi preparea to convict tnese men
without proof of their guilt. Neither un
til there Is proof of their guilt shall
call upon them to prove their Innocence
pr else confess themselves culpable In
ollence.
"In reference to the closing nentence of
the editorial 'that this wholesale manipu
latlon of public lands had been perfectly
understood not only by the State Land
Board, but also by Commissioner Her
mann, Senators Mitchell and Simon and
Representatives Tongue and Moody,'
have only to say that If by 'wholesale
manipulation of public lands Is meant.
fraudulent entries, or obtaining land from
the Government by fraud, or by viola
tlon cf the land laws, that so far as It.
relates to myself. It Is absolutely with
out foundation.
Tlllrmoolr Cases Still Up. .
1 "Outside of 'the Tillamook cases, which
are being investigated by the proper trl
fcunal. if there Is anywhere In Oregon any
man who has attempted to secure pub
He lands In violation of the laws of the
United States, I have not heard his name,
nor a statement of any specific facts. The
Oregonlan probably Is aware, however,
that It Is no-more the province of the
delegation In Washington to discover and
prosecute people violating the. land laws
of the United States- than It Is to dls
cover and proqecute, persons who violate
any other laws Of the United States. That
belongs- to ' the courts and other depart

GRAPHIC STORY BY A PRIEST
Miners Barely Able to Exist, and
Boys Sent Into Mines ns Soon as
They Can Toddle Rumors of
Settlement Renewed;
The coal . strike commission took the i
testimony Of 'miners as . to their earn- '
lngs, and conditions.-of work.,' Miners
told of . discrimination, 'for ..refusal to ,
leave the union. A fire boss told of
being required to work 24 consecutive '
hours, though other men's safety de-
pended on his vigilance A priest told
ot the. eeneral poverty of the miners Iri
graphic language.
In consequence, of the statement that
miners were afraid to' complalp to " la
sijectors, because the latter were al-.
ways .accompanied by mine bos.es. the
commission summoned the Inspectors to. -testify.
SCRANTON, Pa., Dec 4. At today's
.sessions- of the Anthracite Strike Com
mission the representatives of the miner
workers continued to call witnesses, most
ly practical mineworkers, who told their
story of conditions 'as thej' exist In the
Hajleton, or Middle, coal fields. The
miners tried to show by these witnesses
that the Coxe and other 'companies had
violated the agreenlent entered' .n to by
both' sides wheft the commteslQnrwka7ap't
pointed, that the strikers should return
to work, and be trlveh their old nlnees
back whfefe thev. had not- hltedv.. been.
iinea. cjame oi tne witnesses caueu tes
tified that they were riot given back their
old places, and maintained that thfe men
prominent in. the union In the various lo
calities during the strike were discrimin
ated against. The commission has de
cided to invite the mine inspectors to ap
pear before them, because, the miners as
sert that the workmen fear to inform the
mine Inspectors of dangerous or un
healthy places In the mines, because the
inspectors are usually accompanied In the
mines by some representative of the com
pany, who may cause tho man's die
charge. This Is a new point before the
commission.
Talk of Peace.
Rumors of possible negotiations looking
to a settlement outside the commission
continue to be heard.. Lawyers admit
that they have heard rumors, but say
they know nothing about a possible set
tlement. Whatever Is done will be first
decided upen in New York, where those
in authority to act "are located. Several
attorneys, among them W. W. Ross, of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Company, have returned to the metrop
olis. Whether -It is in connection with
peace negotiations cannot be learned
here. The opinion still prevails here that
the operators and mlneYs will agree on
most points before the commission con
cludes its hearings.
Reward for Leaving Union.
Andrew Mattey, a Slavonian, who was
employed by Coxe Bros. & Co., was tho
first witness. He was the president of
his local union, and was told by the com
pany, he "said, .that if he quit the union.
he would be given a boss job. He re
fused, and later was given such bad
work that he gave up his Job. He said
he was the means of bringing 14 Slavon
ians to this country at the instance of a
breaker boss at the Coxe mines. They
were promised. ?1 10 a day, but received
only 65 to 80 cent3 a day.
When the witness was asked by Mr.
MINISTER TO JAPAN
A. E. BUCK,
Sjjjj
Darrow how many times lie had seen the
mine Inspector in the mines. Commlsslon
er Watson "asked- the purpose of the
question. Mr. 'Darrcw said that, as a rule,
the mine Inspector is accompanied by a
Lcompany official, and. therefore, a miner
is- afraid, to make - a complaint In the
( presence at his boss. Mr. Mitchell maln-
I talned inspectors should be unaccompan- J
led,, and tljelr attention not diverted from'
bad places In the mines. '
John G. Strenlx, an Englishman, fol
lowed Mattey. He said he averaged about
?300 a year, and had worked lh the mines
for SO year?.

, Sanpose He Fell Asleep.
Jackson Ansbach, of the Hazleton re-
I glon. was an Interesting witness, because
he Is the first fireman to" appoar before
the commlss'lon. He said he received $1.57
for a day of 12 hours, and his assistant
51 26. On every other Sunday, when he
and his assistant shifted from day to
night work,, they were compelled to work
24 hours strajght without relief. This
statement caused a buzz through the
courtroom. and every commissioner
straightened up and became more inter
ested.. In answer to a question put by
the commission, he said he was off one
day every two weeks, thu3 working slst
days cne week and eight days the follow
ing . week.
"Supposing you should fall asleep when
j'ou we're on the long shift of 24 hoursf
what would happen?" asked Mr. Darrow;
"Well," he. replied, "If I slept Ions
enough, the fans would stop, gas would
accumulate-In the mines, and. If any ex
plosion took place, some men might be
killed."
Barely Able to Eadst.
ReV. Jnmea V. Hussle. rector of St. Ga
briel's Roman Catholic Church, Hazle
vtpn, was the next witness. Drinking
among the miners, he said, was at a
mipimum during the'strlkc. When asked
to explain the -general conditions as he
found , them; Father Hussle said he had
lived In the'eoal regions practically all his
lire.
"The conditions In that region," he said,
"are deplorable. The mineworkers arq
barely able to exist. I 3ay thl3 without
"any" coloring, knowing that I am under
cath. I realize that what I say Is going
to. the American people, and I want to
talk cautiously. I have been in their
homes. They are riot homes, but merely
a habitation, a resting place. They aro
a frugal, conservative, reasonable and
God-fearing people. Wc have eight Cath
olic churches in Hazleton, and they are
crowded every Sunday with worshipers,
and this Is no doubttrue of tha churches
whose faith Is opposed to ours."
Father Hussle said that this was the"
condition bof "pre. the strike, and that dur
ing their s.uspensjon' tho mlnevorkors and
their, families were more pinched, and
4thaftliey barely existed. "Families can
no'tte, kerfe together;'' he said. 'The boys
-are'sent into ijhc mines-almost, as soon, as.
they are able to toddle about, and the
girls' are Dent to the mills In the small
towns In " the vicinity, or drift to large
cities." He related Instances of poverty,
arid said it took cne man six years to pay
off a funeral debt of ?2C0.
In reply to further questioning. Father
Hussle said that he had examined 50 or
GO mineworkers and found that only three
of them were able to savo any money.
One was .a Scotchman, one an Austrian,
and the third Inherited money.
He Brought In, Greenhorns.
Andrew Mattey, who was on the stand
at the morning session, was recalled to
give more "information regarding the al
leged Importation of Slavonians to tho
Coxe mines. He told how he had been
paid .to go to Hazleton and meet the
"greenhorns," who . had been shipped by
his mother from Europe at the request of
himself, who had been asked to do so by
a. foreman employed at the Coxe mines.
Judge Gray, evidently thinking that the
alien laws were being violated, became
greatly Interested, and said:
"When was this?"
"Seventeen years ago," replied the Hun
garian. ,
"Oh," said the Judge, as he leaned back
in hl3 chair.
'The commloslon adjourned tntll tomor
row. Today was set as the time limit for coal
companies to answer tho case submitted
by the miners, but the Coxe Company's
time was extended until tomorrow, the
officials of that company being absent
and not prepared to make answer. Beside
the large companies which signed the re
quest made to President Roosevelt for
the nppolntirient of the arbitration com
mission 46 companies have up to date
signified their willingness to abide by the,
decision of the arbitration commission.
Among these are the Lehigh Coal & Nav

ELK1N3 CHAMGES HIS ATTITUDE
Slnjorlty Will Vote to Ratify Treaty,
"Which Wiil Ee SiRncd Today, bat
Do Not Want Tariff Ques
tion Opened.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. Presidenl
Roosevelt Is assured that. If the negotia
tions with Cuba for a reciprocity treaty
are concluded satisfactorily by the Stato
Department, the treaty will be ratified by
the Senate during the present session.
While many Senators were, and still are
opposed to direct legislation by Congress
on the subject of Cuban reciprocity, soma
of them at least, and psrhap3 a majority
among the Republicans, would vote to
ratify a reasonable reciprocity treaty.
Senator Elklns. who led the anti-Cuban
reciprocity forces in the Senate during the
last session- of Congress, today informed
Mr. Roosevelt that he would support a
proper Cuban reciprocity treaty and ex
pressed the belief that such a treaty would
be ratified by the Senate soon after Its
presentation. Such a solution of the com
mercial obligations of the United States
to Cuba would be entirely satisfactory to
Mr. Elklns and many of his Senatorial
colleagues, who opposed the enactment of
direct legislation because they feared such
action would open up a tariff controversy
which, in the view of strong advocates of
the protection system, might prove em
barrassing, if not dangerous, to the Re
publicans.' The president. It Is understood, has re
ceived assurances from other Senators,
who. last Spring, opposed reciprocity leg
islation, that they will, support by voice
and vote a Cuban reciprocity treaty.
